Chapter 1332

Changlue is not a small figure in the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, but his status is subtle.

On the one hand, he was a second-rank military attache and became a guerrilla general; on the other hand, he was at a hurdle.

In the event of an earth-shattering battle, if you step over this hurdle, you will be a famous general who will go down in history, but if you hold the post of general soldier and step over, this may be the case in this life.

His father, Chang Xihu, was the deputy commander in chief in the defense of Liangzhou, so Chang Lue was a hereditary commanding officer from the very beginning when he passed the exam.

The reason why there is no change is that the defense direction of his position is mainly for the Qinghai Mongols, and this place cannot keep up with the big battle.

Whether it is Qinghai or Uzang, it is a place with a low sense of existence for Ming Dynasty, so that many people in the mainland think that it is a tributary country, but they don't think that way.

When the imperial court had the strongest control over Uzang, it was also the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties where the emperor was the most powerful, especially the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of four or five national teachers and great national teachers, and won over the most powerful Pamu Zhuba Dharma King of the Baijiao. Because King Phagmu Drupa is only a powerful feudal lord among them.

At that time, the ability to tax was already available. In the 16th year of Hongwu, the emperor issued an edict to levy horses. In the 18th year of Hongwu, Uszang sent them to Sichuan and Guizhou, and [-] horses were escorted to Beijing by Erdusi.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 18th year, a monk named Shendan Zangbu sent 780 horses to Hezhou Wei alone, which was the highest record of personal tribute horses in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Yongle Dynasty, the influence on U-Tsang was greatly deepened. In U-Tsang, Zhu Di canonized two dharma kings, five great kings, two Western Heaven Buddhist disciples, nine great national masters and eighteen national masters in U-Tsang. , there are countless other Zen masters and monks.

It was also Zhu Di who built the road from Ya'an, Sichuan, which was called Yazhou at that time, to Wusizang. Later, various dharma kings, great kings, and national teachers paid tribute year by year, and the hereditary succession was canonized by the emperor.

Paying tribute to Beijing from other places may be suspected of cheating food and drinking, but Uzang is different. Going to Beijing to pay tribute in Uzang is a life-threatening job. There are countless Zen masters who died on the tribute road.

Territories in the world are not considered territories only by setting up officials and deploying garrisons. Otherwise, before the seventeenth century, there were only two countries in Europe: the ancient Rome and the newly born Spain in the sixteenth century.

Everything has two sides. The continuous wooing deepens the Ming Dynasty’s control over Uzang. From Zhu Yuanzhang’s fearful and many feudal establishments, to Zhu Di’s transformation and transformation, to respect China together and let the west feast. In the Ming Dynasty, there will be no danger of bandits.

It also makes Buddhists intertwined with the Tao, disturbing the postal transmission externally, harassing high officials internally, and making public and private disturbances.

In the period of Xianzong and Wuzong, the status of foreign monks was still very high, especially Emperor Wuzong liked foreign monks, and often asked monks from Uzang to play at home, and even he himself could speak Tibetan.

By the time of Emperor Xiaozong, he didn’t like foreign monks, so he drove back all the monks below the Dharma King and the Buddha’s disciples, and took away the seal. As a result, the contact between the imperial court and Uzang gradually decreased.

Even so, the monks and officials of Uzang, such as the Dharma king, the teaching king, the Buddhist son of Xitian, the great national teacher, and the national teacher, insisted on waiting for the re-canonization of the Ming court according to the regulations when inheriting, even if the father and son, uncles, brothers, masters and apprentices inherited The same is true.

There are permanence in the sky, and things changed again in the Wanli period. No one would have thought that this change was brought about by Altan Khan of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.

During this period, the Yellow Sect had a tendency to overwhelm other sects, and the most powerful and respected monk among them was Sonam Gyatso, the Living Buddha.

At this time I want to call Alda King Shunyi of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. In the seventh year of Wanli, he attacked Oala in the name of catering to the living Buddha. It was the time when Zhang Chen broke the river and cut off the road. After a war, the two met.

The King of Shunyi liked this Uszang Living Buddha named Sonam Gyatso very much. Later, the two of them bestowed conferments on each other. Altan Khan conferred Sonam Gyatso as the 'Turning Wheel King Chechen Khan', and King Shunyi conferred Sonam Gyatso as ' Dalai Lama', Dalai means the sea in Mongolian, and lama is the master in Tibetan. Sonam Gyatso has pursued two generations of teachers and claimed to be the third.

In addition to canonizing each other, they also did something to each other. Sonam Gyatso persuaded King Shunyi to stop killing and persuade him to return east; King Shunyi persuaded Sonam Gyatso to return to China and wrote a letter to Zhang Juzheng in Gansu.

In the letter, Sonam Gyatso claimed to be Sakyamuni Bhikkhu, and proposed to offer tribute and gifts. Zhang Juzheng did not dare to accept the letter, so he handed it over to Wanli.

This is a political meeting that requires an exchange of interests. I have a strong military force, and the only remaining armored cavalry regiment in Mongolia can break through all obstacles outside the Great Wall.

Sonam Gyatso is a capable person, but what can he do to guarantee the union after canonization?

And why can I answer to canonize him?

If he is a secular leader, marriage can be used to achieve union, but this method does not apply to Sonam Gyatso.

So Sonam Gyatso said this to me.

"My reincarnation will come from among your descendants."

At this moment, the third Lama was still on his way to hold the funeral for King Alta of Shunyi. Qi Jiguang also met him when he was marching westward, and by the way, he taught a lesson in the Mongolian Qing Army.

Due to the relationship between the two sides, Changlue, the guerrilla general of Ming Dynasty in the eastern part of the snow area, was made a tribune.

The battles have always been led by small tribes in the Oirat Mongolia that gradually penetrated into the snowy area to attack the Tibetans, and there were constant small conflicts between the two sides.

But the primary task of Changlue has never been to kill the enemy and capture the head, but to build fortresses for the Tibetans, build camps, set up dangerous dredging ponds, help the poor, and protect the lives of the people in the snowy area under the iron hooves of Mongolian robbers. Property security.

It might have been like this in this life, to be a tribune who was not loved by grandpa and grandma, won the love of soldiers and civilians, and when he was old, everyone would build a monument for him and live up to this life.

Unfortunately, it caught up with the Great Ming Dynasty Expedition.

Others' troops can be reorganized. Only his guerrilla army can only be guerrilla, and can only be led by him, because half of his people are Tibetan soldiers.

And there are only a few Tibetan soldiers in his garrison area. The Dajishi Mountain's great master and his nobles gathered [-] armored horse troops for him. These days, such troops are called guest soldiers. Gansu has always been half garrison troops, half guest troops. , but this is the first time that Uzbekistan monk officials have joined the imperial court like this.

One of the reasons is because the feudal lord of the snow region thinks that the guerrilla general is a good man, and the other is because the third Lama gave the order.

To be honest, Changlue didn't want to lead the armored horse army of the Great National Division to attack Tubo, because they were well equipped, but their fighting ability was really bad, but he had no choice.

　Good morning, Chapter 2 is late.
