Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 67 Who is the eagle in the world (Part )
Winter is coming, and it’s freezing cold in the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in Beijing. Two firemen came to the stove and prepared to add coals.

"Add less, I'm not cold," the 19-year-old Ming Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian said calmly. It's not that I'm not cold, it's that I feel sorry for Yinzi. This emperor is famous for his frugality. Royal charcoal is expensive, so add it and cherish it!

"Long live Grandpa, for the sake of all the people in the world, you don't dare to freeze your dragon body!" Seeing his frugality, Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch beside him, was so sad that he wiped away tears.

"My dear friend, I'm really not cold," Zhu Youjian smiled. People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and their hearts naturally feel warm. First, Sun Chengzong reported that the Ming army had recovered the four cities of Yongping; then Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, reported that the rogues who had troubled Shaanxi for many years had been "pacified".

Looking at these memorials, Zhu Youjian sighed in his heart: I have lived up to my brother's trust after all! When Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao was dying, he was lying on his bed and said to himself: "My brother should be Yao and Shun." At that time, I was so frightened that I said, "Your Majesty, for this reason, I shall die!"

He always encouraged himself with his brother's advice. As soon as he came to the throne, he eunuched Wei Zhongxian with lightning speed, and appointed a group of great Confucians to govern the country. All the people in the court were prosperous. Scholars all over the world said that with the Holy Emperor in the court, the Ming Dynasty would be revived soon. This is indeed the case! News of the "Great Victory of Ningjin" came soon, and later the news of Sun Chengzong's recovery of the four cities of Yongping was received. But what made him happiest was the memorial of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, who "pacified" the Shaanxi bandits. What a ZTE atmosphere!

This Shaanxi bandit troubled the Ming Dynasty for several years!

In recent years, the weather has been cold, famines have been frequent, and grain harvests have been poor. The northwest and central plains have been particularly affected. However, the increase in land tax has not been reduced, and the people's lives are difficult. In March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi. Zhang Douyao, the county magistrate of Chengcheng, regardless of the life and death of the hungry people, still imposed taxes and squeezed the people's bones and marrow. The people are in dire straits! On that day, Wang Er, a hungry citizen of Baishui, gathered hundreds of farmers who could not survive to discuss. He didn't waste any time and asked everyone loudly: "Who dares to kill the county magistrate?" Everyone replied in unison: "I dare to kill!" So Wang Er led the hungry people into the county seat and killed Zhang Douyao, thus kicking off the Peasants' War.

Subsequently, all parts of Shaanxi responded one after another. There are more than a hundred rebel armies, large and small, including Wang Jiayin of Fugu, Wang Daliang of Hannan, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, and Mizhi Zhang Xianzhong. Desperate farmers, deserters from border towns, and laid-off postmen joined forces and rose up one after another. There were wars all over Shaanxi, and even more than a thousand border troops mutinied and rebelled due to lack of pay. Because of their high mobility, these rebels were called "roving bandits" by the court.

Seeing that the rebel army had become a prairie fire, Yang He, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi Province, suggested that the emperor "suppress and appease both, and focus on appeasement." Zhu Youjian was a benevolent king, and he took it for granted. He issued an edict: "The Qin bandits are spreading. Although they are young, they are always corrupted by corrupt officials who do not care about the soldiers and civilians, and exploit them without mercy, so that they turn into thieves. From now on, the civil and military forces on the border have all It is advisable to select talents and replace them, and not to allow others to evade and recruit reserve personnel. Regarding the separation and reunification of officers and soldiers, the Ministry of War will supervise and supervise in secret, and eliminate them with camera."

This is a good way to recruit people! Most of the gangsters were kind-hearted, and they rebelled only when they could no longer survive. If they had a full meal, few of them would be willing to commit suicide. Governor Yang showed his kindness, and a large number of rebels were appeased, including the giant bandit god Yikui.

If you keep stroking it, the world will naturally be at peace. However, the imperial court was financially strapped and there was no money in the treasury. Many rebels were unable to be effectively resettled after being recruited and revolted again. The giant bandit god Yikui "returned to rebellion" just one month after being cared for. Prosecutor Zhu You was furious after hearing the news and ordered the arrest of Yang He and sent him to garrison Yuanzhou. He replaced him with Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui who was responsible for the suppression, as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. He asked the governor of Shaanxi to "encourage Taoist generals and speed up the annihilation".

This Governor Hong was a ruthless person. As soon as he took office, he gave up the "suppression and appeasement, focusing on appeasement" and changed to "suppression and appeasement, first suppression and then appeasement", and concentrated his forces to attack the Shaanxi rebels.

Under Hong Chengchou's vigorous suppression, various rebel armies in Shaanxi had to leave Shaanxi and fight in Shanxi. Shanxi? That is the matter of Governor Xuanda and has nothing to do with the governors of the three sides of Shaanxi. Therefore, Hong Chengchou appealed to Emperor Chongzhen, claiming that the Shaanxi rogues had been "pacified". As for the Shanxi rogues, Governor Hong chose to forget them.

The young emperor was deceived by the scheming Governor Hong, who kept praising him for his ability to do things and that he was the leader of the country and the pillar of the family. People's hearts are warm when happy events occur, and they don't even need to add fuel to the fire.

At Drepung Monastery in Lhasa, the holy land of the Gelug sect, three great monks are plotting.

These three people are no small matter. One is "Xingran Monk Buddha" (the incarnation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva), the altar of the three major temples, and the fifth Ngawang Losang Gyatso of Lhasa; the other is "Yuebamo Buddha" (the incarnation of Amitabha), the altar of Tashilhunpo Temple , the fourth Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen of Shigatse; the other is the leader of the Gelug sect and the Ganden Tripa of Ganden Monastery. As the highest level of the Yellow Sect, they hold religious power.

Ganden Tripa is held by an eminent monk with outstanding knowledge. He serves a term of seven years. He usually has no political power and mainly presides over the Lhasa Dharma meetings attended by various sects. However, when encountering major religious events, this eminent monk still has to participate. "Two masters, our teaching is in danger now, please come up with an idea," he said anxiously. He said they were "two masters", but looked at Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen.

"Yes, Master, please give me an idea." The fourteen-year-old Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso also looked at Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen. The two lines of masters were each other's masters and disciples. This generation of Lhasa V worshiped Shigatse IV as his master, so he was called "Master".

Ever since the Mongolian Khan Linden Batur "abandoned his faith", life for the Gelug sect has been difficult. The Mongolian leader not only incited some tribes in Monan and Mobei, but also sent Choktu Taiji of Khalkha Mongolia to attack Qinghai.

This Chuoktu Taiji was very ferocious, killing the Qinghai Oirat Mongolian tribesmen who believed in the Gelug sect everywhere. Regardless of whether they are Heshuote people, Junggar people, Durbot people or Turgut people, if they refuse to pay taxes to him, they will be massacred by him. The main Mongol force in Oirat has moved westward, and there are not many tribes left in Qinghai. Under the fierce attack, they either surrendered or fled. Soon, Choktu Taiji captured most of Qinghai and called himself Chotu Khan.

Strong enemies appeared in the northeast of the Gelug sect. Together with Zangba Khan in Shigatse to the west, Baili Tusi from Kham in the east, and Lindan Khan from Mongolia, a "grand alliance" was forming. Chitu Khan and Zangba Khan even openly shouted that the situation was unprecedentedly dangerous.

No matter how worried a wise monk is, he doesn't show it. The sixty-year-old Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen has already practiced to the point where he is not afraid of honor or disgrace. At this moment, he actually smiled and said, "I heard that Namkha Gyamtso, the adopted son of Bagas Khan, has succeeded in cultivating Buddhism. It's time for him to return to Oirat."
