Chapter 475: Promise

 "Dayan Eqil of the Mongolian Heshuo Special Department in the Desert would like to report to His Majesty the Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty:

The Emperor and Heaven have appointed him to control all directions, command the whole world, and Ming Zuo is respected. Your Majesty is the original son of Heaven, the true master of Huayi, and the Eight Changes of Nine Barbarians, each of whom will receive tribute.

Governance; the saintly virtues are great, and the Mongolians have infinite benevolence. I grew up in the West and did not know etiquette. I was seduced by the Qing captives in my early years and joined the border as a bandit. There were robberies from time to time, people and horses were killed and wounded, and I was rewarded for my crimes. Recently, I have committed my own crime.

God helped the emperor during his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and he won many battles. I suddenly woke up and felt heartbroken. I vowed not to dare to provoke anyone from all sides and bring about divine punishment on myself. I am willing to accept the title of vassal and be a vassal forever.

I, Xifan, cannot read well and have no expressions, so I went to the governor's office of Sichuan and asked for the expressions. I expressed my love in tears and wrote the expressions in earnest. I hope that your majesty will have mercy on me and regret my misfortune.

It is a crime to listen to treacherous words and disturb the border. Now I pay tribute to five hundred good horses, and I will grant you permission to keep them. I look forward to the holy grace, beg for an official position, and promise to pay tribute to the city. I will pay tribute every year and set up a market. I will be grateful from generation to generation.

I dare not betray my kindness. If I violate it, I will be killed by God. I sincerely offer my confession, and I will listen to it if I am foolish and sincere."

At the Ming army camp in Moshan Town, Tancheng, Shandong, Zhu Hengjia led the army to the north to defeat the Qing Dynasty. He had just set up camp when his personal guards came to report, and envoys from the Heshuote Khanate came to present their seals.

When I opened it and looked at it, I saw that I was professing my vassalship. I couldn't help but secretly sigh. After Gushi Khan's death, there was no one in Heshuo! As soon as Dayan Eqirhan succeeded to the throne, he proclaimed himself vassal to me. I don't know what to say about him.

Although his bones are soft, it should be said that he knows the current affairs.

No, changing the court so quickly, abandoning the Qing Dynasty and returning to the Ming Dynasty, is by no means as simple as understanding the current affairs. It must be due to internal instability and wanting to use external forces to consolidate the position. Well, now that the Ming Dynasty is strong and the Qing Dynasty is weak, this person has put the idea on my head.

Coming up.

Hum hum hum!

Zhu Hengjia sneered a few times and ordered the envoys to enter the tent.

He guessed right. The newly appointed Dayan Oqil Khan of the Khoshot Khanate is now in a state of internal and external troubles. Internally, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso of the Potala Palace has successively attracted Zhongmaiba, Lobsang,

Families such as Draksang are accumulating strength and are ready to take action; externally, King Namgar of the Kagyu sect (located in the Ladakh region of India) has been harassing the border. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was gaining momentum, Dayan Oqil took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

, take advantage of the situation to consolidate the Khan's position.

Heshuote envoy Dorji, the sixth brother of Dayan Eqil, and deputy envoy Zhongmaiba Liejiacuo entered the big tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, Emperor Guangwu gave the two men a slap in the face and shouted: "You and Shuote's slaves served the Qing captives and repeatedly raised troops to invade the country. Now you have proclaimed your vassalage to the Ming Dynasty. Are you afraid of the Ming Dynasty's military power?"
p>

What he said was extremely rude, not because Zhu Hengjia was arrogant, but as a temptation. If the envoy was afraid to plead guilty, it must be internal instability, and he would have an opportunity to take advantage of; if the envoy pushed back with a strong attitude, it meant that He Shuo

Although there is discord within the Special Branch, it has not yet reached the point of harming the country.

Chen Gyatso was shocked and fell to his knees.

But Dorji laughed loudly: "My Heshuote tribe is located in the west of the desert, using the plateau as a city wall and the river as a shield. We have 200,000 warriors lining up their horses and raising troops. Why should we fear the might of the Ming Dynasty's troops? The Great Khan ordered us to come here.

In fact, he is professing friendship with the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty used military force to threaten him, which is disrespectful to the great country of China."

Seeing Dorji's attitude, Zhu Hengjia felt confident in his heart. It seemed that the Heshuote Department had not yet fallen apart, and there was nothing to be done for the time being. Being an old and cunning man, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Just now I was talking to you two

The envoys were joking, so they came, served wine, and washed their hands with the two envoys."

It was a pleasant time changing cups and cups. Zhu Hengjia asked seemingly casually: "How is Sonam Raodan Diba's health?"

Suonan Raodan was the right-hand man of Gushi Khan and was highly respected. If he were alive, the Heshuote Khanate would not be in chaos.

"Suonan Raodan Diba is ill and has been resting at home??", Chen Gyatso was about to continue, but Dorji interrupted him with a "cough", "Diba is just a minor illness.

Things have gotten better these days."

"That's good, that's good. Suonan Raodan Diba is a famous sage. I hope he lives a long life." A sincere smile appeared on Emperor Guangwu's face.

??

"Your Majesty, Heshuo Special Envoy Chen Gyatso is asking for an audience." After drinking, Zhu Hengjia was preparing to take a rest when his personal guards came to report.

"Huh? What's he doing here? Tell him to come in."

It turns out that this Chen Gyatso is a member of the Zhongmaiba family and a close associate of Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso. Now Dayan Eqir is fighting openly and secretly with Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, and this person is here to gain the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hengjia was so happy that someone handed him a pillow as soon as he fell asleep! He was worried that you and the Shuote Khanate would not be in civil strife. Now you are waiting for your own people to fight against your own people. It is really the best!

Immediately pretending to be pious, "Oh, you are actually the messenger of the master! I really don't know how much I have offended just now! Please take a seat and serve tea, the best tea!"

"Your Majesty also believes in Buddhism?"

"To be honest, I love worshiping the Buddha the most. No matter how upset I am, as soon as I listen to the scriptures, I will immediately feel at ease. Not only me, but also all my concubines in the harem love to listen to the scriptures."

"Your Majesty, you are so pious??"

The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more speculative. Zhu Hengjia suddenly said: "I want to invite Master Ngawang Losang Gyatso to come to Nanjing to give lectures. One can ask for his help day and night, and the other can save hundreds of millions of people in our Ming Dynasty. How about that?"

Chen Gyatso was overjoyed. The last time his master went to Beijing, his prestige in Qinghai and Tibet was greatly increased. If he can go to Nanjing again this time, his status will be as stable as a rock.

"I will definitely convey His Majesty's kind wishes to my master!"

"Well, I am going to send an envoy to confer the title of Master and Datin Odal, and invite the Master to come to Nanjing to give lectures."

??

The Potala Palace is majestic. The forty-year-old Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso is sitting cross-legged, with a majestic appearance, and his eyes are smart and unfathomable.

He was just a teenager back then and was forced to hide in the south of Shannan by Zangba Khan. He had no choice but to work with the man from Tashilhunpo Monastery to ask Gushi Khan to send troops and established the Gaden Phodrang Dynasty (Gaden Phodrang).

Zhang is the name of the main hall of Drepung Monastery). But that is just a false name. Gushi Khan and Suonan Raodan firmly hold the military and political power, and they are just puppets.

After finally waiting for Gushi to succumb to death, Suonan Raodan was seriously ill. Unwilling to be left alone, he began to seize power.

First, he lectured everywhere, wrote books, and wrote a lot of classics to increase his reputation. The last time he came back from Beijing, Emperor Shunzhi rewarded him with a large amount of money. He didn't take any of it, but donated it all to build temples, building thirteen in one go.

, everyone praised him for his high moral character.

Then, by consolidating internally, recruiting disciples, and expanding their power, big families such as Zhongmaiba, Luosang, and Dracang soon became their own one by one.

Then, make good friends with the outside world. In addition to the Ming Dynasty, they also actively extended an olive branch to the Junggar tribe. They said that the sixth son of Batur Hutaiji, Galdan, was the reincarnation of Yinzan Hutuktu. He summoned him to Drepung Monastery to teach him personally and accepted him as his disciple.

Disciple, the existence of the top ten Hutuktu is second only to the Potala Palace and Tashilhunpo Monastery, which makes the entire Jungar tribe smile with joy.

He was born in the Qiongstutter family and had the absolute support of the local forces in Shigatse. He also served as the abbot of Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery. Slowly, his power grew stronger and stronger.

"Master, Chen Gyatso is back," come and report.

"Oh, let him in."

Chen Gyatso brought the "goodwill" and invitation from Emperor Guangwu.

"The Ming Dynasty invited me to give lectures in Nanjing?"

"Exactly, His Majesty Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty is very pious and wants to invite you to Nanjing to lecture on scriptures so that he can consult you day and night. He also sent envoys, reissued the edict, and recognized all the titles given to you by the Qing court."

"You have done a good job in this matter. Go down and have a rest." Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso smiled warmly.

Then, go to Drepung Monastery to teach his disciple Galdan to study scriptures.

Tiancheng

The emperor's system says: Holy grace spreads far and wide, and wherever the sun shines, no one should fail to respect his relatives; generals such as Deze and Pu, who are as far away as Kyushu and the four seas, will not fail to lead them. In accordance with Taizu's legacy, I will conquer the Tartars in the north, restore China, and continue the war.

In all directions, there has never been a single defeat. Zi'erda Yan'eqi'er inherited his father's legacy, rose up in the west of the desert, relied on his own military strength, and repeatedly invaded the imperial dynasty. I originally wanted to send troops to attack him, but after hearing your banner, I repented, knew how to respect China, and marched thousands of miles eastward.

At the pass, I beg you to attach it. Since your love is stronger than gold, my kindness is deeper than the sea. I specially designate you as the King of Guiyi and give you a royal decree. How magnificent! The wild geese fly eastward, and there are loyal people in the west of the desert; the white deer runs southward.

All nations are attached to the Celestial Empire. After proclaiming the throne, you should govern the government and care for the people, govern the country with benevolence, abide by the three covenants, always be united, repay the Celestial Empire with loyalty, and harmonize all countries with faith. Ban the barbarians, do not cause trouble, and abide by the essentials.

Shu, don’t betray my will. Thank you, so here’s my edict.

Emperor

March 23, the fourth year of Guangwu

Xingbao

Dayan Eqir knelt down to accept the imperial edict, and from then on he became a king from a khan, the Guiyi King of the Ming Dynasty.
