The Han culture is spreading strongly in Southeast Asia

Chapter 530 You can kill, but you have to kill the right person
The meeting at Puning Temple was still going on, and the first person to speak was Zheng Xin.

The father-in-law of the emperor was finally controlled. He no longer had the aura of "I'm going crazy" like before, but was very attentive to Mo Zibu's attitude.

Because he, the Buddha of Compassion and Universal Salvation, desperately needed the support of the central court, or in other words, Mo Zibu.

Even though he has the status, he still needs to have the strength to match it. Without the support of the imperial court, it is unknown whether the Eleuth Mongols in Qinghai or even the White Lotus Sect believers in Gansu will listen to his teachings.

Moreover, Zheng Xin could only stay in Lanzhou at this time, and negotiations with major temples in Dunhuang were still ongoing.

As for Qinghai, there is no trace of it at all. The people of the twelve banners of the Left Wing League of the Qinghai Eleuths, the twelve banners of the Right Wing League, and the five banners of Henan do not recognize Zheng Xin at all.

"Your Majesty, I have visited various places in Hexi, Longyou, and Lingwu, and I have seen that the resettlement and relocation work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Duke Xia has handled it properly, and everyone in the shogunate has fulfilled their duties conscientiously. They are truly loyal and virtuous officials of Dayu."

Zheng Xin first flattered Li Xianwen. Although Li Xianwen was not there, Zheng Xin also spoke well of him to Mo Zibu.

Because even if Mo Zibu supported him, the person who actually put it into practice was Li Xianwen, who established a government in Shaanxi and Gansu.

“Although the chaos has been quelled, the remnants of the rebel army are still gathering in Xining Prefecture and Bayanrongge Hall.

They have built strongholds to protect themselves and are plundering everywhere. The twenty-four banners of the left and right wings of the Qinghai Eleuth have suffered greatly. I beg the Emperor to send more troops to defeat these bandits!"

At this time, Xining was not the political center of Qinghai.

In other words, the political center of Qinghai is in Xining, because the Qinghai Minister established by the Qing Dynasty is in Xining, but Xining actually belongs to Gansu administratively.

Another fact that shocked later generations is that Xining Prefecture was actually the base camp of the Muslim sect in Shaanxi and Gansu, and could even be compared with Jinjibao in Ningxia Prefecture.

When the two so-called Uzbek Khojas traveled to the interior, they stayed in Xining to spread their doctrines and accept worship.

The reason why Xining was not so green later on was that after the Tongzhi Rebellion, the population of Shaanxi and Gansu decreased greatly, and the Christian Ma family in Qinghai did not participate in the rebellion.

When the rebellion broke out, they fled to the mountains in northern Qinghai to hide. Later, they were recruited by Zuo Zongtang to cooperate with the government army in the battle. They received many rewards and of course a lot of official positions.

With this advantage, after the chaos ended, they moved from Xining, where conditions were harsh, to various places and settled down in large numbers.

This is how the famous Qingma and Ningma came about.

In addition, when the Republic liberated Qinghai later, Wang Huzi took the opportunity to attack Ma Bufang and taught these guys a severe lesson.

At that time, the whole of Qinghai was in a state of awe. All kinds of monsters and demons were purged, and the few remaining believers were also reformed and basically gave up their faith.

This is how Xining became what it later became as a republic.

As Zheng Xin spoke, he also glanced at Peng Sukwangzhaer, the Zasakdoro Prince of the Qinghai Eleuth West Front Banner, which is also known as the Qinghai Royal Banner.

Peng Sukwang Zhale rushed out and threw himself to the ground, pleading in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, what the Compassionate Buddha said is true. The Qinghai banners are suffering greatly. Please, Your Majesty, save us!"

Mo Zibu was naturally not surprised, because this was the space he left for Zheng Xin to show his favor.

It is necessary to let the 24 banners of the Eleuth people in Qinghai and the five banners of Henan see the role of Zheng Xin and make them truly believe in Zheng Xin.

In the future, Zheng Xin will not only be the respected Buddha of Qinghai and Gansu, but will also serve as the Minister of Qinghai in fact.

Mo Zi Bu even planned to hand over this position to a prince of Taksin's bloodline in order to monitor this sensitive area at any time.

So, when he saw Peng Sukwang Zhale, the leader of the Twelve Banners of the Left Wing of the Eleuths, come out to beg, Mo Zibu immediately said to this guy dressed like a Tibetan:
"For the sake of the Buddha, if the twenty-four Eleuth Banners and the five Henan Banners can provide guidance, cover, pursuit, and other assistance, I am willing to send the imperial army to solve the problem for you."

Peng Sukwangjale was overjoyed, but before he could express his gratitude, Zheng Xin came up and suggested:

"Your Majesty, I request that after the war, Xining Prefecture be incorporated into the Qinghai Eleuth League, promoted to the league's capital, and that a new minister be appointed from Qinghai to handle the affairs. Furthermore, some Eleuth bannermen be allowed to migrate to Xining."

Peng Sukwangzhaer was shocked and immediately realized that this was a very good opportunity.

The Hehuang Valley where Xining Prefecture is located is much better than their nomadic areas, and it can also avoid harassment from the thirty-nine tribes of Hol and the forty tribes of Yushu.

Well, just look at Peng Sukwangzhaer’s outfit and you will know. The other Mongolians have maintained their original characteristics, but he is the only one dressed like a Tibetan.

This is because the nomadic area of the Eleuth people in Qinghai is too cold and harsh, and the supply routes to the east are blocked by Muslims, so they can only rely on Resa in all aspects at home.

Over the years, they have been severely invaded by the completely Tibetanized tribes near Resa. A large number of pastures have been occupied, and even their culture has been basically changed.

Historically, after another forty years, these Eleuth Mongols would fall into a huge crisis, and then after about a hundred years, they would completely become Tibetans.

"The Qinghai Minister has a heavy responsibility. I don't have a good choice at the moment. Master, please take the throne in Xining Prefecture and take on this responsibility first."

Mo Zibu quickly gave the power of the Minister of Qinghai to Zheng Xin, which was also agreed upon by the father-in-law and son-in-law.

At this moment, Peng Sukwangzhaer and others understood everything completely. After paying their respects to Zheng Xin, they stood around Zheng Xin consciously.

In this way, after these Qinghai Eleuth Mongols return and make preparations, the Battle of Hehuang to conquer the last rebel army will begin.

This time, Mo Zibu was not like Zuo Zongtang, who had to forgive a group of rebel troops out of necessity, otherwise he would not be able to take back the Western Regions.

Mo Zibu has plenty of time, manpower and resources to solve this problem.

After the Qinghai issue was roughly resolved, the next topic turned to the Western Region issue that Mo Zibu was most concerned about.

"Your Majesty, I have already inquired about the situation for you. Most of the Minister of State for Xinjiang Affairs and the Ministers in charge of the Southern Eight Cities south of the Tianshan Mountains were killed.

A small number, escorted by Solon and Xibai soldiers, retreated to Ili City, the seat of the Ili General. Khovd's Durburt Khan hesitated as he spoke. Mozibu glanced at him, "Speak freely. There's no need to be cautious when it comes to matters of state."

Durburt Khan then continued, "The original Ili General Kuilin died in battle at Beihe four years ago, and more than 4,000 soldiers under the Ili General were withdrawn to the interior, so we are extremely short of manpower.

The current person in charge of Ili General affairs is Song Jun. Because he is proficient in Russian, he was sent to Ili by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to coordinate trade affairs with Russia.

After the chaos in the Western Regions began, he stayed in Ili City and has now become the backbone of Ili City."

Damn, no wonder he was so hesitant. It turned out that it was because of the rise of Mo Zibu that Qianlong continuously transferred the troops under the command of the Ili General who controlled the Western Regions, and even General Kuilin himself, to the interior.

As a result, when the Qing Dynasty fell, the manpower they left in the Western Regions was unable to suppress the rebellion, and the area south of the Tianshan Mountains collapsed.

Another situation is that Russia actually infiltrated the northwest of the Qing Dynasty very deeply.

At the same time, the Qing Dynasty seemed to be closed to the outside world and should have had little contact with the outside world, but in fact, the trade relations between the Qing Dynasty and Russia were very close.

The Buryat Mongols under Russian control often went deep into Outer Mongolia to plunder, and the two sides often needed to negotiate with each other on these issues.

Within the Qing Dynasty, there were also bannermen who specialized in learning Russian. Even the Russian zuoling, which was formed with Russian prisoners after the Battle of Yalu River, still existed in Beijing.

"What's the situation north of Tianshan Mountain?" Mo Zibu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued to ask.

"Everything west of Gongchencheng in Ili was lost. The rest of the Torghut banners, including Karausu, Dihua, Turpan, Hami, and Barkol, still existed, but most of them only had important towns and strongholds left.

As for the rest of the places, including the countryside of Dihua and Turpan, they were no longer under the control of the imperial court.

At present, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people under the command of the former Qing Dynasty's Ili General and Han people scattered everywhere. They can still hold on for a short time, but if the court does not rescue them for a long time, their morale may collapse.

I suggest that even if the army cannot set out, we should at least send angels to give them hope of holding on."

After hearing this, Mo Zibu was speechless. After a while, he cursed viciously, "You're a hungry dog!"

I don't know who he is scolding.

This Gongchen City is located in the northwest of Yili in later generations, approximately near the county seat of Huocheng County. It has retreated to the border of the Republic.

In other words, at this time, the Western Regions, the entire area south of the Tianshan Mountains, as well as Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and the territories including Lake Balkhash and Almaty had all been lost.

"Your Majesty has done a good job. This information is very important." Mozibu first praised Durburt Khan, and then said to the other Mongolian princes:

"Rest assured, everyone. The imperial court will never ignore the Western Regions, and will certainly not allow the Kazakhs or the Russians behind them to infringe upon your interests, as long as you are united with me."

After hearing what Mozibu said, the Khans of various tribes began to express their loyalty one after another. Mozibu appeased them one by one and finally let them stay in Chengde for a while.

At night, Mo Zibu, who had worked hard all day, did not sleep, but summoned all civil and military officials to continue the meeting.

"Since ancient times, there has never been a great Han dynasty that did not control the Western Regions. I and the Great Yu Dynasty cannot be inferior to Emperor Qianlong and the Qing Dynasty.

Now in our hands, there are only four or five cities left in the Western Regions, and they are still supported by the Bannermen, which is extremely embarrassing."

As Mo Zibu spoke, he was so upset that he started cursing, "What kind of pig and dog is that Kazakh Sanyuzi!

In the past, the Dzungars used them as cattle and horses, and the Russians regarded them as slaves, but now they are climbing over our heads and acting wildly.

Not only has he taken over my Balkhash Lake, but he's also cut off a large chunk of the Ili River Valley. I think that bastard Wali is courting death!"

At this time, the Kazakhs were divided into three Yuz: large, medium and small. Each of the three Yuz had its own leader, but there was also a khan above them.

This Wali was the famous Khan who unified the three Yuz of Kazakhstan. He was the son of Abulai Khan. After Abulai Khan died last year, he succeeded to the throne.

However, upon hearing Mo Zibu's angry curse, Yu Jinao, the admiral of the Zhili Zhenjun Army who had served as a general in Yili in his early years, shook his head and advised:

"Your Majesty, the court's enemy in the Western Regions is not the Kazakhs, but the Uzbeks. Even if the court wants to send a large army to attack, it should attack the Uzbeks first."

Yu Jinao was a little nervous, fearing that Mo Zibu would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, Mo Zibu nodded and said:

"I understand. You mean that the Kazakhs are not devout believers in Islam, nor are they strong fighters, so they can't become a force to be reckoned with."

Mo Zibu had read some Qing court archives on the Western Regions, which specifically mentioned these things.

Although the Kazakhs at this time converted to Islam, they actually still had a very strong shamanistic color, which was completely different from the piety of later generations.

It even came to the point where the Khan himself had to issue a code, and if seven people could prove that you had insulted Allah, you could be put to death.

This is really abstract. What kind of Muslims would insult Allah at will? You have to say that Kazakhs are good at believing in Muslims.

Therefore, the Kazakhs were hated by the Uzbeks in the south who were controlled by the Sufi sect and had a large number of descendants of saints. They even called on Uzbek believers to launch a divine war against the Kazakhs.

Therefore, after reading the files, Mo Zibu quickly understood what Yu Jinao meant.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yu Jinao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In the river, only the Uzbeks are true fanatics.

The instability in the Western Regions and even in Shaanxi and Gansu was caused by them. Their shadows can be seen behind the religious groups in Shaanxi, Gansu and south of the sky.

Therefore, I suggest that if we are to send troops to deal with the Western Regions, we should only attack the Uzbeks and slaughter them until their blood flows like a river. Only then will the situation be stabilized."
