The sun never sets

Just like using Japanese soldiers to fight the Beiyang Army, out of some evil taste, Lin Yongchang also brought Rokossovsky and the 2,000 Polish-Ukrainian infantry regiment to Kulun this time. Isn't the pseudo-Mongolia relying on the support of the old Russians behind it? If they encounter the real old Russians, what will their reaction be?

Panic or flight? Either way, it's going to be fun.

Rokossovsky led his infantry regiment in front of the team. In front of them, the Mongolian cavalry had already started fighting with the Mongolian cavalry. Emperor Bato in the north had already known the news that the people's government had sent troops. He relied on the 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry in his hands and wanted to kill the southerners in the south of the desert.

While Lin Yongchang was considering attacking Kulun, Barto and his generals and officers were considering looting Guihua City. Since both sides wanted to fight, the battle broke out. Lin Yongchang was most worried that the pseudo-Mongolian army would run around everywhere, and now that the other side came to his door to die, it couldn't be better.

The Polish-Ukrainian infantry regiments stopped and deployed in battle formation, as did the rest of the army. The infantry formed long lines, the cavalry began to gather, and the herdsmen following behind the army gathered their livestock together, then drew their scimitars and took up their rifles, ready to fight the incoming enemy.

Barto divided his army into several parts and launched an attack on the southerners. Tens of thousands of horses moved forward slowly, like a dark cloud. The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the earth trembled in the roar. Seeing the mighty army under his command, Emperor Barto was excited.

He raised his whip and pointed it into the distance, and proudly said to the generals around him: "Once we defeat the southerners, we will seize Guihua City, then cross the Great Wall and march into the heart of the Central Plains!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Those fools in the south don't know that your majesty deliberately lured them here!"

"That's right! The Southerners thought we weren't going to attack them, but they didn't know we had set a trap here!"

Barto had a typical Mongolian face. He smiled, but he was furious. Was he really hanging around here to set a trap? If he could get into Guihua City, he would have already killed his way in! If he couldn't win, who would want to waste time here?

Those guys in the south of the desert are hateful. They are all Mongols, but they insist on serving a foreign race! They used to be dogs for the Jurchens, and now they are fighting for the Han people! Those guys can't be considered Mongols at all. Instead of herding sheep properly, they built a lot of earthen walls. Dozens or hundreds of people with guns can hold on for a long time.

Around those earthen walls, the Mongols from the south and north of the desert fought each other, and the cavalry under Barto's command could not gain any advantage. But now, the damn southerners have come out from behind their mud walls. This time, we must seize the opportunity to defeat them and not let them go back!

He smiled at Dorlot* Shengyun, who had a stern face, and asked, "My general, why are you so serious? Look at our good Mongolian men! With so many warriors, we can fight all the way to Dadu!"

Genghis Khan is the pride of the Mongols, and so is the Yuan Dynasty. Dadu, later known as Beijing and now Beiping, was once the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Bato wanted to restore the glory of the Mongols and planned to move the capital back to Dadu. Kulun was extremely cold in winter, and there were also brutal Russians in the north, so he didn't want to stay there for a long time.

Barto thought that the cowards in the south could be easily trampled to death in a field battle, but Dorote Shengyun did not think so. Shengyun had actually fought in battles. He had repelled the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance and had led his troops all the way to the city of Xi'an. He had won battles and suffered defeats. He saw clearly the combat effectiveness of the Mongol army. This was by no means a strong army.

The weapons and equipment of the puppet Mongolian army were not good. The troops under Barto's command only had a few thousand old rifles and less than ten artillery pieces. The Russian profiteer named Andrei sold junk for more than brand new weapons. Even if the puppet Mongolian state squeezed the herdsmen dry, it could not buy many guns and artillery pieces.

The weapons and equipment were not good enough, and there was nothing commendable about the Mongolian army in terms of discipline, morale and training. Although Sheng Yun was also a Mongolian, he looked down on the Mongolian army. The officers were illiterate and could not read a few words. They had no idea about modern military affairs, did not know how to organize the army, and did not know how to exert firepower. In Sheng Yun's view, they were just a mob.

And what about the People's Army? That is an elite army that can overthrow the great powers! If he were the Baldy Lin on the opposite side, he could beat this mob with his eyes closed. They are both Mongols, but they are a mob in Barto's hands, and they are iron cavalry that can sweep away thousands of troops in Baldy Lin's hands.

Dorote* Shengyun couldn't figure out why before, but after two years, he finally understood a little. The more he understood, the more he knew that there was no chance of winning this battle. Shengyun knew this a long time ago, but he still got involved in the affairs of Kulun. He is

The loyal ministers of the previous dynasty would still do it even if they knew it was impossible!

However, Batuo did not listen to him at all. He refused to train the army properly and refused to respect Fu Jun as the emperor. Instead, he became the emperor himself, which disappointed Dorlot Shengyun. After seeing the poor performance of the Mongolian army, disappointment turned into despair, while Batuo, the idiot, was still showing off his military power triumphantly.

"Let's go together!" Emperor Batto was arrogant and domineering.

Sheng Yun cupped his hands and said expressionlessly, "I congratulate His Majesty on your victory. The battle has already begun ahead. Your Majesty, please mount your horse!"

Seeing that this stubborn man finally gave in, Barto was in high spirits. He stepped on the slave's back to mount his warhorse, then looked around and said loudly: "Come with me to see how our Mongolian warriors fight!"

Sheng Yun sneered in his heart and also got on his horse, but he did not go to the front line with Emperor Barto to watch the battle, but ran away with his trusted men. He brought seven or eight people to the Mongolian grasslands, two of whom died during the period, and now there are six left. After a greeting, the group gradually distanced themselves from the army and then ran eastward.

Before the battle was over, Dorothea Shengyun already knew the outcome. He had done his best and could not throw his life away here. He had to keep himself useful and continue to serve the court!

Chapter 223 How is it possible?

The People's Government is now able to produce more than 600,000 tons of steel annually. With steel and chemical plants developing well, it is natural to manufacture guns and cannons by ourselves. Importing from abroad can only be used as a supplement, not as the main means. For Marshal Lin, "it is better to buy than to make, and it is better to rent than to buy" does not work.

Lin Yongchang was a staunch supporter of Lee-Enfield, believing that Lee was the No. 1 bolt-action rifle, but the rifle production line he finally introduced was the German Mauser series. The British Empire was the world hegemon, and the price was too high, not to mention the political conditions, and they also wanted the People's Party to pay a large sum of money.

In comparison, William II was much more lovable. After receiving the drawings of the "dreadnought" and "new steam turbine" sent by the People's Party, the relationship between Germany and China quickly became closer. Coupled with the increasingly close economic exchanges between the two sides, Germany relaxed restrictions and sold three production lines and corresponding supporting facilities to China, half selling and half giving away a full set of drawings, and also sent hundreds of engineers, technicians and workers to China to help debug equipment and solve problems in production.

There is another reason for choosing the Mauser series. The largest arsenal in China today is the Hanyang Arsenal founded by Zhang Zhidong. The Mauser series can be compatible with the Hanyang Arsenal. If Hubei is taken in the future, the Hanyang Arsenal only needs to be adjusted before it can continue to be used. Forget about the Hanyang Arsenal. Marshal Lin has already bought the latest drawings and technology of the Mauser series, which is much better than the Hanyang Arsenal.

American weapons are also a good choice, but the weapons used by the Americans are already seriously outdated, and they are in the process of upgrading their equipment. It is impossible to sell the latest production line to China. Master Wang is willing to sell the outdated production line, but Marshal Lin doesn't like it. He buys the junk from Master Wang because it is cheap, not because he really likes it.

Well, okay, I still like the revolver. After all, it is a famous gun of the generation, and it has collection value. In actual combat, the value of the revolver is not that high. Lin Yongchang bought the blueprint of the M1911 pistol from the [The Sun Never Sets in the Celestial Empire] system, and planned to use the M1911 to replace the revolver in the future.

The Germans not only sold the rifle production line, but also wanted to sell the workshop that produced cannons. How much is the rifle production line worth? The cannons are the highlight. However, they did not sell the heavy howitzer production factory that Marshal Lin wanted the most, but wanted to move several rapid-fire gun and field gun factories to China as a whole.

Lin Yongchang wanted the French "Miss 75" the most, and was not very interested in the German rapid-fire guns and field guns. However, the Germans refused to sell the production line of heavy field guns, and the French also refused to sell the production line of "Miss 75". Marshal Lin was furious and simply refused to buy any production line. He just made it himself!

The People's Government plans to build more mortars and "Type 92" infantry guns, which are the artillery suitable for the battlefield... Well, okay, mainly because there is no money. Lin Yongchang really wants to purchase more large-caliber artillery, but after calculating, there is no money... So forget it. When the domestic power generation capacity increases, we will directly use the electric slag furnace!

Now, we can just use rifles and small-caliber artillery for the time being. You have to eat a meal one bite at a time, and you have to use a cannon one step at a time. You can't become a fat man in one bite. If you move too fast, you will hurt your balls. Unless you use a cheat.

Of the three production lines purchased from Germany, two are still being debugged and only one is in production. Currently, we can produce more than 600 Mauser rifles per month. When the workers become more skilled, the production capacity will eventually reach 2,000. One production line can produce 2,000 rifles per month, and three production lines can produce 6,000 rifles. We can produce 70,000 to 80,000 rifles a year, which is barely enough.

However, the production line debugging time is a bit long, and it is not known when it will reach the theoretical production speed. Mauser is a series, and the Germans improved it step by step. It is of course good that the people's government can do it in one step now, but the requirements for processing accuracy and technical level are higher, and a series of troubles have been encountered in actual production.

Most of the People's Army troops on the Northern Expedition had already replaced their rifles with new Mauser rifles, but Rokossovsky

The regiment of Ji was still using the Mosin-Nagant. More than 60,000 Mosin-Nagants were captured in the Liaoxi Campaign, and many units of the People's Army were still using this weapon.

The Mosin-Nagant is also an excellent rifle. Although it is not very user-friendly, its power and accuracy are still acceptable. Soldiers of the Polish-Ukrainian Infantry Regiment, in accordance with the training they received in the People's Army, worked in platoons and continuously fired at the pseudo-Mongolian army in the distance.

Even at a distance of five or six hundred meters, the full-power bullet still had amazing lethality, and the riders and horses that were hit fell to the ground one after another. The puppet Mongolian army suffered a blow, and then it was completely out of control. The officers and soldiers whipped their horses hard and charged towards the People's Army.

So the People's Army's artillery and heavy machine guns also joined the shooting. The tradition of the People's Army is to shoot at the enemy at close range. In the past, when ammunition was insufficient, they would go up to fight hand-to-hand after firing a round. Now the People's Army is much more wealthy and does not need to be as frugal as before. The heavy machine gunners fired one ammunition belt after another until the cooling water was burned dry.

The artillery also let go of their guns, mortars, field guns, and infantry guns, opening fire, pouring tons of ammunition on the enemy. The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry that rushed over was torn to pieces in the fire network. Occasionally, a few rushed to the front and entered the melee stage, but were quickly killed by the infantry.

Emperor Barto was watching the battle from behind, feeling proud of the strength of his own army. He didn't care when the sound of rifle fire was heard from the positions of the People's Army. He also had guns and cannons, but they were only for show. In the real battle, he still had to rely on the bravery of his soldiers.

But then heavy machine guns and cannons joined the shooting. Hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, with earth-shattering power. Emperor Barto was horrified, "How is it possible? How can the southerners have so many cannons?"

Where is the extra? There are only a dozen field guns, and more are mortars and infantry guns. With this little firepower, it is not even half of the Eight-Nation Alliance. But where has the pseudo-Mongolian army seen this? They have no combat experience. Previously, they were charging forward aggressively, but when the cannon sounded, everyone turned their horses around and began to move back.

The Mongolian cavalry had already assembled and now they chased after the enemy and beat them to a pulp. Even the herdsmen in the southern part of the desert joined in the pursuit. The captured prisoners could be exchanged for money with Marshal Lin, and the horses, cattle and sheep they robbed could also be exchanged for money. Everyone's fighting enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

Chapter 124: Defeatist Counselor

When the army of Emperor Bato went south, there were many lamas in his army. Although the lamas in the south and north of the desert did not believe in the same faction, they were all members of the Gelugpa sect. The lamas in the north could also chant sutras in the south and gain the support of the Mongols. As long as they could go to Guihua City more often, the lamas could use their means to reduce the resistance of the Mongols in the south of the desert.

But Bato was defeated, and the defeat was terrible, so a lama in the rear camp shouted, "Our army is defeated!"

"Our army is defeated!"

An old lama shouted first, followed by several not-so-old lamas. These lamas had just encouraged Emperor Batu to unify Mongolia and restore the glory of Genghis Khan, but now they had turned into defeatist counselors, spreading a sense of defeat in the army.

There was a hellish battlefield ahead and the lamas were shouting "Our army is defeated" in their ears. The Mongolian army that remained in the rear collapsed immediately. They abandoned Emperor Batto and fled.

Barto was furious, pulled out his pistol, and fired several shots at the lama who was still shouting "Our army is defeated" in the distance. "Bang", "Bang", "Bang", the gunshots rang out continuously, but the lama who was targeted was not hurt at all. The effective range of the pistol is only a few dozen meters. If it exceeds a hundred meters, God knows where the bullet will fly.

"Stop, everyone stop!" Barto shouted angrily, "The emperor orders you all to stop!"

Hearing the gunshots, the surrounding Mongols ran faster, even Emperor Bato's Qiexue Army ran away. The Mongols never had such a thing as an emperor. Yuan Dynasty? That was hundreds of years ago! After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, I don't know how many people went to work for Zhu Baba. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there was never a lack of Tartar officials. Even at the end of the dynasty, there were still Mongol warriors like Man Gui working for the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Bato is no longer viable, so let's run away and wait for Marshal Lin to take over. If the Mongols in the south of the desert can be reused, then the Mongols in the north of the desert can be reused too! It's just a matter of sending troops to fight. What's the difference between serving as a soldier for Bato and serving as a soldier for Marshal Lin?

Previously, everyone thought that the southerners were bragging when they said that the People's Army won a great victory in western Liaoning. Now, many people think of the many times that Marshal Lin defeated the Russians. The People's Army is very good at fighting, that's for sure, but can it also beat up the Russians in the north?

Over the past few hundred years, the Russians have dealt a heavy blow to the Mongols and the Khanates in Central Asia. There are many Russians in Kulun City who do bad things all day long, and everyone dares to be angry but dares not speak out. Now, the Han people are coming with the Mongols on their side. Can we settle the old accounts?

Ordinary Mongolians might not think this way, but there are many smart people among the lamas, and many of them have other ideas.

Barto was left with only a few hundred of his confidants, as well as some Russian instructors, translators and other personnel. Seeing the enemy coming in large numbers, they carried Emperor Barto and rushed forward.

They had already run away. They had lost all their capital this time, and most likely they would not have a chance to make a comeback, but who knows? Kulun City was so big, there were many people in the city, and with the Russians backing them up, they might be able to hold on.

If we can survive until winter... Well, it's just autumn now, so it might be a little difficult to survive until winter, but as I said, who knows? If we can survive until winter, maybe we can turn the situation around. Even if we can't turn the situation around, we can still live a few more days. If it really doesn't work, we can still escape to the territory of our Russian friends.

Barto was extremely angry. He could not accept that the 30,000 elite cavalrymen he had painstakingly built were destroyed in one battle. He shouted on horseback: "Stop! I want to fight them to the death!"

But no one listened to him. The Russian military instructors were no longer confident. They followed the translator and other cavalrymen and rushed towards Kulun. Behind them, the Mongolian cavalry was chasing them with an unstoppable momentum.

Mongolian horses have many advantages. They are strong, have broad chests, long manes, thick skin and coarse hair. They can withstand Siberian blizzards and can kick foxes and wolves in the head. Most importantly, this kind of horse is very durable and can survive on anything it eats. It is not as delicate as other horses. The domesticated Mongolian horse has always been a good military horse. However, Mongolian horses are short in stature, have poor load-bearing capacity, and are not very capable of short-distance charging.

However, the Mongolian horses ridden by Meng En* Borjigin and his men were very different from before. The members of the [Mongolian Iron Cavalry] had become stronger, and their mounts had become taller and stronger. Moreover, those war horses still retained the advantages of Mongolian horses. In an emergency, they could maintain their combat effectiveness for a long time by eating wild grass.

Meng En led the Mongolian cavalry in pursuit. He was sure that Batu and his men would flee back to Kulun City, so he kept running towards the north. After two days and two nights of pursuit, he finally caught up with Batu and his men in Bayan. At this time, Meng En only had more than 200 cavalrymen left, and the rest of the cavalry fell behind.

Even though their mounts were greatly enhanced, they were not nuclear powered. After several days and nights of pursuit, the horses quickly became thinner, and some of the replaced mounts even died on the roadside. Only about 200 cavalrymen were able to keep up, and these cavalrymen were able to keep up because they fed all their food and water to their mounts, preferring to starve themselves rather than let their companions go hungry.

This is what Meng En did. He hadn't eaten, drunk, or slept for two days. He was exhausted and his face was sickly red, but he was very excited. When he was in North China, before he faced the Eight-Nation Alliance, he was shot because he rushed too hard. By the time he recovered from his wounds, the Eight-Nation Alliance had already been destroyed.

Later, he fought in Liaoxi and finally won some military merits, and was promoted to a captain of a thousand men. But how could a mere captain of a thousand men satisfy Prince Meng'en's appetite? He wanted to achieve more! After defeating the Russians in Liaoxi, Meng'en* Boerjigin burst out with greater ambitions. He wanted to become a hero like Batu, and let his name be sung by people thousands of years later.

The first step to becoming a hero is to chop off the head of the false emperor Batto!

"Hahahaha! The credit this time goes to me!"

Meng En led his troops to half-surround the enemy and shouted to Barto and others, "Put down your weapons and surrender. For the sake of all Mongols, Barto, I will give you a quick death!"

Barto was left with only the Night Assault Group: 6949, 36135, over 30 people, all of them were emaciated. He was originally a bow-legged, flat-faced Mongolian, and now he was still bow-legged, but much thinner. The rest of the troops were similar, all of them were emaciated and exhausted. Not only were the people exhausted, but the mounts were also the same, with less than ten horses able to stand up.

Hearing Meng En's arrogant persuasion to surrender, Barto regained some strength in his tired body. He jumped up from the ground and cursed: "Shameless thief! Even if I was defeated, I am still the emperor of the Mongols!"

Meng En laughed wildly and said, "The emperor's head is more valuable!"

Chapter 225: Monks are Lamas

After a long journey, both the pursuing Meng En and the fleeing Bato had lost all their heavy weapons, and now the only weapons they could use were sabers and rifles. Meng En and his men had some grenades in their hands, but they ran out during the pursuit.

Although Barto suffered a great defeat, he still had some supporters. Those supporters took the initiative to stay behind to cover the pursuit, causing a lot of trouble for the pursuing troops. The grenade was used in the previous battle to break through the blocking.

It doesn't matter if there are no grenades, a rifle is enough. Meng En laughed wildly in the bushes, and then shouted: "Listen, people over there, chop off Barto's head anyway, and your crime will be forgiven, and you will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"boom!"

Someone fired a shot from a distance, hitting the ground dozens of meters away. Meng En didn't even look at it, but waved his hand and ordered, "Attack!"

Both sides were Mongols, but their fighting strength was incomparable, and Meng En had more people on his side, so the battle was one-sided. However, the final result was a bit unexpected. Meng En* Borjigin looked at the Mongols kneeling on the ground and asked, "You are the one who killed Bato?"

The man kneeling on the ground was one of Bato's Qiexue soldiers, but at the end of the battle, he cut off Bato's

head, then knelt down and surrendered. "Yes, sir!"

"very good........"

Meng En grabbed Barto's pigtail and was talking when his heart suddenly jumped. He didn't have time to think about it, and his body instinctively lay back. He heard the familiar sound of gunfire, "Bang!"

Meng En fell to the ground after being shot. He could hear shouts and the sound of a blade slashing at his flesh. He screamed but soon died away. Someone helped him up and asked, "Prince, are you okay?"

The one who spoke was his personal guard, who he brought from his hometown. Meng En covered the wound on his left chest and said through gritted teeth, "It's okay!"

He took a breath and looked at the ground. The Mongol who had shot him had been hacked to death. "He is a brave man. Let's dig a hole and bury him together with Bato's body."

"Captain, several Russians have escaped. Should we continue chasing them?"

"I won't chase you anymore! Can't you see that I've been shot? Take me to the hospital! Ouch, be gentle, it hurts!"

Having been shot once before, and now being shot again, Meng En thought he was too unlucky? Other generals were not as unlucky as him. After receiving the news, Lin Yongchang did not think that Meng En* Borjigin was unlucky. When charging at the front line, one must be prepared to be injured. Many brave generals died while charging at the front line. There are countless records of "being killed by stray arrows" in history books.

This guy "Liu Shi" killed so many generals in battle, maybe he is the first military general in Chinese history? Just like "Anonymous", he wrote so many poems and articles, and he has reason to be nominated as the first great writer in China.

Lin Yongchang had Meng En sent back to Huihua City. Although the bullet had been taken out, he still needed to recuperate for a while. The one who played the "Prince Offering His Head" game shot very accurately, but the power of the pistol bullet was not enough, so Meng En's life was not taken. The brave prince did not need to participate in the next battle. Anyway, he also got Barto's head, which was considered a great achievement. After his injury healed, he would stay in the military academy for a year, and then he could continue to be promoted.

After defeating the pseudo-Mongol army on the grassland and beheading the pseudo-Emperor Batuo, the rest was easy. The army marched northward, and more and more Mongols came to surrender. When he arrived outside Kulun City, his troops had swelled to 40,000 to 50,000, and most of them were Mongols.

Seeing so many Mongols prostrating themselves at the feet of Marshal Lin, the lamas and merchants in the city thought that their emperor had returned. They had lost an emperor, but a new one had come. Lin Yongchang had already figured it out. The Russian Empire could use Cossacks to expand in the steppes and other places, and so could China. In places like Siberia and Central Asia, steppe cavalry would be very useful.

Well, it's mainly because it's cheap. You can't fight a war without settling accounts. Often, once the economic problems are solved, military matters can be easily dealt with. If you keep losing money, even a famous general who has won every battle will be doomed.

There used to be many schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The one that controls Mongolia and Tibet now is the Gelugpa, also known as the "Yellow Sect". There is the Dalai Lama in Tibet and the Jebten Zumba in Kulun, both of whom are from the Gelugpa. The Dalai Lama's investment in Marshal Lin is equivalent to the Gelugpa's investment in Marshal Lin. Therefore, the city of Kulun did not resist and directly opened the city to surrender.

The Jebten Zumba of this generation said that this was not a surrender, but that Kulun City welcomed the return of its destined master. The Dalai Lama and his Gelugpa claimed that Marshal Lin was the reincarnation of Buddha and Bodhisattva. As a place to worship Buddha, Kulun City certainly belongs to the Great Bodhisattva*Lin.

Jebtenzumba, wearing a bright yellow monk robe, knelt down respectfully, then stepped forward, took the reins of Marshal Lin's mount, and led the new king into the pearl of the northern grasslands, the majestic and rugged city of Kulun.

Although Kulun City is the political, economic and cultural center of the Mongolian Desert, it cannot provide much extra food. With 40,000 to 50,000 troops stationed in Kulun City, they will eat out the food in a few days. So Lin Yongchang ordered the Mongolian cavalry to disperse and graze. It was just autumn, and the grass on the ground was fresh and juicy. Only the princes, nobles and leaders of the Mongolian tribes remained in Kulun, both in the south and north of the desert.

The Mongols from the south of the desert were naturally arrogant and proud. The Mongols from the north of the desert were uneasy. They were all rebels. Although they could put the blame on the dead ghost Bato, could they wash away the blame? Marshal Lin did not give a definite answer, which made them very scared.

Many people went to the living Buddha and lamas to ask for information. The living Buddha told them not to worry, there would be no problem, that the Mongols would have a real emperor. Many people were shocked after hearing this. Just one emperor died, and another one was coming? Besides, Marshal Lin was a Han Chinese, how could he be the emperor of the Mongols?

Those who came from the south of the desert disagreed. So what if Marshal Lin was not a Mongolian? Wouldn't it be a perfect change of lineage if a few more women from the Golden Family were sent over? But many Mongolians still couldn't get round it. The Golden Family had ruled Mongolia for more than a thousand years. Even if some strong men controlled the grasslands, they didn't dare to usurp the title of Khan. Instead, they had to find a member of the Borjigin family to be a puppet. Why was Marshal Lin different from those people before?

The lamas were smarter. The four living Buddhas of the Gelug sect had reached a consensus in secret and decided to support Lin Yongchang as the emperor to rule the vast territory of Mongolia and Tibet. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was facing the threat of the British, while Mongolia was facing the Russians.

The two great powers have their own beliefs and are in a mortal relationship with the Gelugpa.

The territories controlled by the living Buddhas were taken away by the pagans. They fought back, but each time they fought back, they lost more territory. As time went by, the territory controlled by the Gelugpa sect shrunk. If this continued, the Gelugpa sect would be doomed.

The imperial court had no way to deal with the British and Russians before, so the Gelugpa sect could only find a way out on their own. They even thought of using the Russians to contain the British, but it was obvious that this method of using the mouse to hang a bell on the cat failed. They were all planning to lie down, but fortunately, a powerful person came from the sky... no, it should be said that the Buddha finally showed up and sent down a great bodhisattva* to the forest.

With the support of Marshal Lin, the Gelugpa sect will not only be able to hold on to its current territory, but may even be able to recover a lot of lost territory. The lamas have all found out that Marshal Lin is very dissatisfied with Islam in the Western Regions and intends to send monks to the Western Regions to preach. The Western Regions were a Buddhist country a thousand years ago, and it is time to put order in the chaos!
