580 [Gushi Khan? Return to the King of Righteousness! 】
Nanjing, Forbidden City.
Although Chechen Daiqing is the leader of the mission, the nominal envoy is Gyatso, the Living Buddha of Qinghai...
All the previous living Buddhas in this line came from reincarnations. Only Duoju Gyatso was reborn through the Dharma of Seizing the Body.
The previous living Buddha passed away in Liangzhou, and his body was sent to Kangba Dongke Temple. On the way, a Han youth died. The soul of the previous living Buddha was thrown into the body of the Han youth, and the young man unexpectedly came back to life, shouting: "I am
Donko!”
"Dongke Monastery mostly resides in Gyatso, paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!"
"Daiqing, Chechnya of the Khosut Khanate, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!"
The two came to the palace and saluted Zhao Han one after another.
Honglu Temple has been re-established and is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites. It is in charge of foreign guests, court meetings, banquets and etiquette. When envoys from foreign vassals meet the emperor, they are not as rough as before. They all have to study in Honglu Temple, and they all bend down and bow to the emperor.
Pay tribute - special professions such as monks and Taoists can do it by themselves.
"Give me a seat." Zhao Han said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Under the guidance of the female officer, the two of them carefully sat down.
After a brief exchange of words, Chechen Daiqing said: "Your Majesty, my father Tulu Baihu is willing to bring the Oara Mongolia and the Khoshote Khanate to wholeheartedly join the Great Harmony of China and serve as the northwest border of the Celestial Empire for generations to come."
"Your father is commendable for his loyalty and obedience. I am very pleased." Zhao Han nodded in approval and asked casually, "How is your father's health? If you have time, you can come to Nanjing to meet. I also want to meet the Mongolian hero."
Chechen Daiqing replied: "Thanks to your Majesty's great blessing, my father is in good health and can ride a horse and hunt like a sixteen-year-old boy."
Zhao Han smiled and said, "You speak Chinese very well."
Chechen Daiqing said: "I have been learning Chinese for eight years."
Zhao Han looked at Taju Gyatso again: "This Living Buddha seems not to like to talk."
Doju Gyatso himself was a Han Chinese. Although he was reincarnated by the previous living Buddha, he still had awe for the emperor and said quickly: "Meeting your majesty is like worshiping the Buddha. It only needs to be sincere. No need to say more."
"Master's Dharma is profound and I really admire him." Zhao Han immediately expressed his respect for the living Buddha, but he was just respectful and not interested. He changed the subject and asked, "Oara Mongolia is often attacked by Russia?"
The Russian state and the Rakshasa state are the correct transliterations of Tsarist Russia.
However, Mongolian rarely begins with an R consonant. When talking about Russia, the first syllable is deformed into O, and when second-hand translation is made into Chinese, it becomes Russian.
Similarly, Russia has always used the wrong European name for China: Khitan.
Chechen Daiqing replied: "Russia is in the north, and their expeditionary force is called Cossacks. They are not many in number, but they are very hateful. They invaded the Telyanguti tribe of Oara Mongolia and built a city called Kunzko (Kuznetsk).
Castle. They also built a castle called Tarana (Tala) in the north of Dulbert tribe. They usually hide in the city, often go out to rob our people, and then return to the city after the robbery."
Kuznetsk Castle was built more than 20 years ago. To the northwest of the city is Tomsk Castle. Further to the west is Tara Castle.
The three castles are all located in the north of Oara Mongolia.
Zhao Han asked: "Russian Cossack cavalry, how effective are they?"
Chechen Daiqing replied: "To report back to your majesty, I have never encountered this. I only heard what the elders said. These Cossacks are extremely fierce, vicious, and very cunning. They like sneak attacks and do not fight head-on. Every time the Mongols
When the warriors went to conquer, they hid in the castle. It was too cold there, and the Mongolian warriors lacked supplies, so they would have to siege the city for a month or two at most and have to withdraw their troops. After the Mongolian warriors withdrew, the Cossacks went south to rob the Mongolian herdsmen."
Zhao Han understood immediately that the Oara Mongols were not afraid of the Cossack cavalry, but they were disgusted by the Cossacks.
The original meaning of Cossacks is "freedom". They were originally a group of common people who could not bear the oppression of the nobles. In order to avoid the persecution of feudal lords, they kept fleeing and migrating eastward. They lived by the river and called themselves Cossacks (free people).
The original Cossacks did not have cavalry troops, but lived on boats for a long time.
They were also on the boat during battles, and when they couldn't be defeated, they would escape in rowing boats. They usually made a living by fishing. After repeatedly defeating the conquests of feudal lords, the Cossacks began to gain a reputation. Later, they were recruited and washed out and became mercenaries of the nobles.
Zhao Han asked about the Cossacks, and then said: "Since the Oara has surrendered to the Celestial Empire, the enemies of the Oara are the enemies of the Celestial Empire. In addition to Russia, what other major enemies does the Oara have? Let me tell them all together. After I finish dealing with the Jurchen barbarians,
, then go and help Wala defeat the enemy!"
Daiqing of Chechnya happily said: "Your Majesty, the biggest enemy of Oara is the Khalkha Mongols in Mobei. If Your Majesty is willing to send troops, the various ministries of Oara are willing to send 50,000 cavalry to cooperate and completely wipe out the Khalkha Mongols from Mobei."
!When the time comes, Hetao will return to the Celestial Empire, and Mobei will return to Oara!"
"Who occupied Hami?" Zhao Han asked.
Daiqing of Chechnya said: “All areas south of the Tianshan Mountains belong to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but they are actually owned by the Yeerqiang Khanate. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was originally divided into the Yeerqiang Kingdom and the Turpan State.
The country was divided into various tribes. Twenty years ago, the son of the Khan of Turpan took advantage of his brothers' struggle for the throne and led the Yeerqiang Kingdom's army to send troops to Turpan. This man unified the Yeerqiang Kingdom and handed over Turpan to
I was governed by my younger brother, and controlled Hami to the east, and attacked the Jungar tribe of our Oara Mongolia to the north, and took away the Ili Valley and Lake Balkhash."
The founder of the Yerqiang Khanate was the cousin of the founder of the Mughal Empire in India.
Now the monarch who reunified southern Xinjiang is called Abdullah. Historically, his death was very ridiculous. After professing vassalage to the Qing Dynasty, he personally went to Mecca for a pilgrimage. When he came back, he died of illness in Delhi, India. The Yeerqiang Kingdom has since fallen into civil war.
, and was later destroyed by the Jungar tribe of Oara Mongolia.
Oara Mongolia is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
There is Russia in the north, Kazakhstan in the west, Khalkha in the east, and the Yerqiang in the south. However, a truce with the Yerqiang was temporarily made at the cost of recognizing the Yerqiang's rule over the Ili Valley and Lake Balkhash.
Zhao Han does not have a current map of the Western Regions, but only a few ancient maps of the Western Regions.
He called Chechen Daiqing to his side and asked: "Which piece is Yeerqiang?"
Chechen Daiqing was also a little confused. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the southern Xinjiang region and said, "It should be here."
Zhao Han pointed to the north of Yinshan Mountain again: "Is this Khalkha?"
"Yes." Chechen Daiqing was much more certain this time.
"Where is this side?" Zhao Han pointed to the west.
Chechen Daiqing said: "That's Kazakhstan. Between Kazakhstan and Yeerqiang, there are also Kyligis."
The Kyrgyz people are the Kyrgyz people. Later, part of them lived in Xinjiang and part of them lived in the former Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became Kyrgyzstan.
The Gilghis originally lived in the Seven Rivers Basin (seven rivers east of Lake Balkhash, including the Ili River). The Jungar tribe drove the Gilghis away and occupied the Ili Valley themselves. Now they are occupied by the Ye
The son of Qiang was taken away.
Zhao Han chatted with Chechen Dai Qing for a while, finally opening up the fog of war in the Western Regions and roughly understanding the distribution of forces in those regions.
Chechen Daiqing is very honest and always answers Zhao Han's questions.
Because the content of Zhao Han's questions was very far away, if the Datong Army really wanted to fall out, it would not be fighting the Western Regions at all, but Gushi Khan's Qinghai and Tibet!
Gushi Khan is an interesting person. He led an army to conquer Urumqi and other places at the age of thirteen. He could have ruled northern Xinjiang, but he had to use force. In order to avoid civil war with his uncle, brothers, and brothers, he directly gave up his territory.
He led his troops to capture Qinghai.
It is equivalent to the heir of a large company, who has already served as the president, saying that I don’t want this company anymore, you can share some of the shares, and I will bring a sum of funds to start a business.
The leaders of the Heshuo Special Department were very grateful for this and respected Gushi Khan as the honorary chairman. The group's head office, Oara Mongolia, also still respected Gushi Khan as the honorary president.
As long as the actual interests of the Mongolian leaders of Oara are not affected, Gushi Khan can make the decision on behalf of the entire Oara.
For example, surrender to the Datong court!
After chatting about the Western Regions for a while, Zhao Han began to ask for Buddhist advice and learn about the various sects in Tibet and Qinghai.
Of the four major sects of Tibetan Buddhism, Gushi Khan supported the Yellow Sect, which is now at its peak.
The resident Gyatso in front of me is one of the Living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect.
Chechen Daiqing lived in Nanjing for more than a month, and finally waited for the emperor to confer him:
The Chinese court of Datong consecrated Gushi Khan as the King of Guiyi and gave the vassal king a gold seal. It also consecrated the leaders of the Oara tribes as dukes and gave them gold seals. Gushi Khan and the leaders of each tribe gave a fine matchlock gun and some ammunition.
.Gushi Khan himself gave a specially gifted Tianzhu horse (a hybrid of Marwari horse and Mongolian horse).
He also appointed Duju Gyatso as the Living Buddha of Qinghai, and stipulated that future reincarnated Living Buddhas of Qinghai must accept the canonization of the Emperor of Nanjing to be effective.
The cavalry of the various tribes of Oara is authorized to carry out military operations in Gansu.
However, permission must be reported before each passage. If there is any illegal behavior during the journey, strict law will be dealt with, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion.
Daiqing of Chechnya was overjoyed. The task assigned to him by his father had been successfully completed. This Emperor of Datong was so kind.
Emperor Zhao Han of Datong is waiting for his father to die of illness.
Anyway, Zhao Han is very young, and Gushi Khan is already sixty-four years old. How long can a Mongolian who has been fighting all year round live at the age of sixty-four?
Once the newly minted King Guiyi dies, Qinghai and Tibet will definitely split. Even if they don't split, Zhao Han will let it split. At that time, everything will be decided by the court.
Daiqing of Chechnya knelt at the foot of Nanjing City, facing the majestic towers, bidding farewell to the emperor and returning to Qinghai.
As for the living Buddha of Qinghai, he was detained as a human being...as a guest.
Historically, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties also played this way. There were several living Buddhas stationed in Beijing in Qinghai and Tibet. Once a rebellion broke out, the living Buddhas were in hand and could issue relevant orders at any time. If the local leaders disobeyed, they would violate the will of the living Buddhas.
