The sun never sets

What? Marshal Lin was talking about monks?

Living Buddhas said that lamas are monks and monks are lamas. They all worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, so what is the difference?

Chapter 226 Practice

If possible, Jebtsundamba Khutuktu and the lamas of Mobei still hope that Emperor Bato can succeed. It's not because of anything else, but because Bato is a Mongolian from Mobei. It's not just the people in mainland China who like to hold hometown gatherings to keep warm together. It's the same all over the world, and Mobei is no exception.

But Bato was not strong enough and was defeated and killed in the first battle. Jebtsundamba and the lamas quickly cut ties with Bato and labeled him an enemy of Buddhism. The high-ranking officials of the pseudo-Mongolia were almost dealt with, and then they joined other living Buddhas to persuade Marshal Lin to ascend the throne.

The old acquaintance, the Dalai Lama, also rushed over from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau... Well, he was actually staying on the Mongolian grasslands, and jumped out as soon as the war was over. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to rush to Kulun so quickly. Even if he sent a telegram to the Potala Palace and then rushed over at full speed, it would not take ten days or half a month.

The Dalai Lama showed up only three days later, arriving at Kuwei in the early morning with Marshal Lin's troops. The lamas in Mobei preferred Mobei Renbato, and the Dalai Lama had placed his bet on Lin Yongchang early on. After Lin Yongchang soared to the sky, the Dalai Lama doubled his bet several times. Now he was tied to Lin Yongchang, and it was not so easy to get him off the bus.

But for the sake of peace among the Gelugpa sect, the Dalai Lama waited for a few days until the war was over, and then he came to Kulun City with his followers. Now the situation is very clear, the Bato supported by Jebtsundamba and others is finished, and they can only support Lin Yongchang.

The Dalai Lama looked much darker and more capable. Three years ago, after exchanging gold for guns and ammunition, he returned to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and commanded the Qinghai-Tibet soldiers to recover lost territory in the south. Because he got the military book "Mountain Guerrilla Warfare" and mainly because the British were paying attention to South Africa, the Qinghai-Tibet soldiers fought very well and dealt a heavy blow to the Indian soldiers.

Later, Lin Yongchang transported arms to Qinghai-Tibet several times. The troops under the Dalai Lama and another living Buddha even had cannons, so they organized several frontal attacks and recaptured southern Tibet. Lin Yongchang was very happy when he heard the news, thinking that his trip was not in vain.

However, the Qinghai-Tibetan troops did not stop after they recaptured southern Tibet, but rushed into India...

This... The British Empire is the world hegemon after all, don't they have any face? But at that time, the main force of Britain was deeply involved in the South African battlefield, burning hundreds of thousands of pounds every day. It was really unable to open up a second battlefield, and could only let the British Indian government solve the border problems by itself. A large-scale uprising had just broken out in northern India. Although the uprising was suppressed, the rebels were only dispersed, not completely eliminated. When the Qinghai-Tibet soldiers came to kill, many people took the opportunity to jump out.

Downing Street instructed diplomats to negotiate with the People's Government, asking the Chinese to stop and not attempt to subvert the international order. In order to put pressure on the People's Government, Jordan also encouraged the Hubei New Army to march into Henan. Zhang Zhidong had an idea. The tens of thousands of new troops trained had good combat effectiveness. They happily crossed Wusheng Pass, but were pushed back by hundreds of thousands of troops.

If Lin Yongchang hadn't called several times in a row, Li Dayan would have led his troops to Wuchang. Because of the stoppage halfway, the impatient Li Dayan went to have a big quarrel with Lin Yongchang, but he was finally persuaded. The new people's government is surrounded by enemies on all sides. There must be a sequence of priorities for so many enemies. They must be dealt with one by one, and they cannot be announced all at once.

The British fleet was cruising on the Yangtze River. Should we consider the British fleet when attacking Wuchang? And the 200,000 Russian troops in the northeast, are they a greater threat than the princes in the south? The National Government in Nanjing claimed to be orthodox, but the People's Government called them local separatist warlords.

After lengthy negotiations, the diplomats from China and Britain came to a meaningless conclusion: the People's Government's rule over Tibet was a form of enslavement, and the only thing they could say was that they would no longer send arms to Tibet. If they wanted to recover the lost territory, they still had to work hard on their own.

Neither side of the negotiation had any sincerity. The British had seen the dawn of the end of the Boer War and did not want to

According to the current ceasefire in the areas under their respective control, they are still thinking of marching into Lhasa and turning the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the territory of the British Empire. China is thinking of speeding up the process of industrialization and producing more guns and cannons so that it can blow the British into pieces in the future.

The Dalai Lama, who led the Qinghai-Tibetan Army into India, now has a very high prestige and is considered to be on par with the greatest lamas in history. However, he knew in his heart that it was with the guns and guidance provided by Lin Yongchang that he was able to achieve a little success. In front of Marshal Lin, the Dalai Lama was very humble.

"Mr. President, Mongolia and Tibet are different from the Han area. The people here need gods as well as emperors."

The Dalai Lama smiled and spoke eloquently, "Whether you are an emperor or a president, what is the essential difference? On behalf of all Mongolians and Tibetans, I invite the president to ascend the throne!"

Huh, do you represent the Mongols and Tibetans like this?

Is there no difference between the president and the emperor? Even though it is just a change of name, there is a big difference in essence. The president is the president, and the emperor is the emperor. The two cannot be confused. President Yuan was respected by everyone, but when he became the Hongxian Emperor, he became deserted by everyone.

Lin Yongchang knew that the emperor and the president were not the same thing, but he still decided to give himself the title of emperor. For no other reason, it was because there was a special type of soldier called "Guards" in the "Celestial Empire" system, and only the emperor could have them. If it was a sultan, there would be "Yericheni" and "Royal Guards".

[Guards]: Special troops, upper limit 10000 people, morale +10%, firepower +10%, impact +10%.

In addition, Lin Yongchang has ideas about Central Asia and Outer Northeast. If there is a chance, Vladivostok will also be taken back. If the conditions are better, Jiaozhi and Lelang and other places should also be considered. If those places are taken over directly, it may lead to a siege. It would be much better to have a few vassal states to take over the land.

The great powers all like to play this trick. The United States first annexed Hawaii, and then ate it. In another time and space, the Japanese annexed North Korea and the puppet Manchukuo. Britain, Russia, France, and many other countries have done similar things. Regardless of justice or evil, those means of expansion can be used, after all, they have been tested by history.

As a Paradox player, Lin Yongchang has always been pragmatic. He does things that are beneficial and doesn't do things that are not beneficial. Is there any benefit in being an emperor? Yes. Is there any disadvantage? Yes... Well, it depends on which one is more beneficial or disadvantageous.

After some thought and discussion with others, Lin Yongchang decided to divide Mongolia into two parts, implementing the same laws as inland China in the south of the desert, and maintaining the nomadic regime in the north. As for Qinghai-Tibet, do not move for the time being, just maintain the original regime for stability.

Everything must be tested in practice. After a few years, if it is found that being an emperor brings more benefits, then it can be followed up in remote areas such as Tanglu and Uriankhai. If it is found that the title of emperor brings more disadvantages, then it can be changed.

Some people say that sociology is not a real science. Lin Yongchang thinks that this makes sense, but many people disagree. Then let practice test it, because practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Chapter 227 Everyone Asks Me to Be the Emperor

The Gelugpa sect belongs to Tibetan Buddhism, also known as Northern Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. Because the monks of this sect wear yellow hats, they are also called the "Yellow Sect". Although these lamas were beaten badly by the British and Russians before, they are actually not easy to deal with. The Gelugpa sect appeared relatively late in Tibetan Buddhism, but they unified the beliefs of Tibetan Buddhism through various means, including diplomacy and launching wars. From Tibet to Mongolia, in such a vast area, only the Gelugpa sect is now the only one that dominates.

Even if the other sects still exist and have not been destroyed like the Kadam Sect, they can only survive and not cause any trouble. Hundreds of years ago, when Galdan rebelled, there were lamas from the Gelug Sect behind the scenes. These lamas implemented a ruling model that combined politics and religion, and they established a Buddhist country on earth. However, they were taught a lesson by the Central Plains too many times, so they became more obedient and did not try to influence the policies of the people's government like the evil cults of Catholicism, Christianity, and the Green Church.

Now the four living Buddhas have gathered in Kulun City to give Lin Yongchang the title of emperor, which is essentially to preserve the rule of the Gelugpa in Qinghai, Tibet, Mongolia and other places. The People's Party once discussed that it would also implement the northern policy in the grasslands and Qinghai-Tibet. In summary, it is "fighting princes and dividing cattle and sheep", and the lamas are also within the scope of being swept away.

The People's Daily, which has not been published for a long time, has given a detailed description of the political ecological environment of Mongolia and Qinghai-Tibet, pointing out that lamas do not engage in production, but accumulate wealth by monopolizing religion. They belong to the "rentier class" whose existence is unnecessary and should be swept into the dustbin of history.

The Dalai Lama felt very complicated after reading the newspaper, and then gave Marshal Lin several hundred kilograms of gold, and the matter was finally settled. Thubten Gyatso now joined other living Buddhas to give Marshal Lin the title of "Emperor", and Lin Yongchang did not refuse, nor did he do any tricks like three times of refusing and three times of declining. Everyone asked me to be the emperor, so I will take it as my duty.

However, Lin Yongchang did not let the lamas get what they wanted. While accepting the title of "Emperor", he cut Mongolia in half.

Anyway, the southern and northern parts of the desert are governed separately, so the southern part of the desert should be directly governed by the People's Government. If the railway is built to Guihua City, the People's Army can send tens of thousands of troops here in just two days, and the Mongols in the southern part of the desert will not be able to make any waves.

Since Sanniangzi established Guihua City, the production mode of the southern part of the desert has been half farming and half grazing, which is similar to the Central Plains in many ways. Even if it is directly governed, there will not be too many inconveniences. In this respect, it is different from the northern part of the desert. The rainfall line sometimes moves north and sometimes moves south. When it moves north, the southern part of the desert is similar to Guanzhong, and there are more people farming; when it moves south, there are more people grazing in the southern part of the desert.

For hundreds of years, the relationship between the southern part of the desert and Shanxi has been very close, even closer than that between the southern part of the desert and the northern part of the desert. In the past, all the Mongolian princes owed their Shanxi cousins a huge debt, which they could never repay in their lifetime. Not only could they repay in their lifetime, but their descendants could never repay in their lifetime. It was only after the rise of the People's Party that the living standards of the people in the southern part of the desert improved a little.

Therefore, there is a basis for directly administering the southern part of the desert, and it is not something that was thought up on the spur of the moment. The biggest basis is that Lin Yongchang had seen it. At that time, it was called Inner Mongolia. Although there was an autonomous region, the laws and other things were the same as those in the mainland, and he did not see anything wrong. Lin Yongchang was most impressed by the girls in Inner Mongolia. They were all very enthusiastic and invited him to travel. When they held hands at night, the wind blew very hard.

The Dalai Lama and other living Buddhas disagreed with Marshal Lin's behavior of taking everything and not recognizing anyone. They felt that the emperor's behavior was really unreasonable. After discussion, the living Buddhas donated several hundred kilograms of gold.

Alas, this world is so difficult to survive. At least Marshal Lin recognized the religious status of the Gelugpa in Qinghai-Tibet, Shaanxi-Gansu and Mongolia. Although the southern part of the desert was directly governed, it was still the world of the lamas. He also agreed to let the lamas preach in Shaanxi-Gansu, the Western Regions and other places, which was equivalent to expanding the base of the Gelugpa.

If the entire Northwest could really be converted to Mahayana Buddhism, the Gelugpa sect could establish two more living Buddhas!

The northern expedition army set out in late August, and five days later they engaged the puppet Mongolian army and defeated the enemy in half a day. By mid-September, the vanguard of the army reached Kulun City, where Marshal Lin was worshipped by the four living Buddhas of the Gelugpa sect and ascended the throne as the emperor of Mongolia.

So many things happened in less than two months. Everything happened so fast that many people felt dizzy. On the high platform, Wuyun Qiqige, wearing traditional Mongolian clothes and a crown on her head, looked at the huge crowd below the platform and felt a little breathless.

She held Lin Yongchang's hand tightly, feeling that everything was just like a dream. She looked up and said to Lin Yongchang: "I just came here and they said they wanted me to be the queen. I'm not ready yet!"

Lin Yongchang turned around, smiled, and said, "What's there to prepare for this? I just want to ask if you like it."

"Like it!"

"Just like it! Who cares about it?"

Wu Yunqiqige thought so too, and smiled again. Lin Yongchang asked, "Have you been to Kulun before?"

The Dalai Lama and others were holding a grand ceremony. They slaughtered a cow, a horse, and a sheep, and offered the three animals to Changshengtian to pray for the emperor's longevity and prosperity, and Mongolia's national fortune. There were drums and trumpets below, and Lin Yongchang was chatting with Wuyun Qiqige above.

The little girl smiled and said, "This is my first time here. It's a little different from home, and it's also different from my homes in Taiyuan and Beijing."

"Hahaha, it must be different." Lin Yongchang laughed several times and asked, "Is there anything you are not used to here?"

Wuyun Qiqige thought for a moment and said, "Yes. It's too uncomfortable not being able to take a shower."

The Mongols did not take baths very often. Temujin made laws for the Mongols that stipulated that anyone who dared to bathe in the river would be severely punished. Wuyun Qiqige used to bathe only a few times a year, but after going to Beijing and Taiyuan with Lin Yongchang, her lifestyle quickly changed.

In the process of industrial development, many things will emerge, such as boilers. With a large boiler, you can provide a lot of hot water, and you can open many bathhouses. Lin Yongchang doesn't have much impression of ancient Rome, except that the guards auctioned the throne and killed the emperor like killing a chicken, and those public bathhouses.

So Taiyuan and Beiping built many large and small bathhouses while digging sewers and sewage systems. Wuyun Qiqige liked to take a hot bath in winter. Who could resist a pool of hot water in the winter?

Lin Yongchang straightened the crown on her head and said with a smile: "After finishing things here, go back early. When the railway is built, we will come back to play."

Wuyun Qiqige smiled and said, "Okay!"

Chapter 228 Emperor

The emperor on the platform laughed so loudly that the Mongolians, Han Chinese, and others around him could not help but secretly glance up. The Dalai Lama, who was holding the ceremony, smiled bitterly and winked at the other three living Buddhas, who then worked even harder.

Lin Yongchang didn't care about these face-saving projects at all, but the [Emperor's Sun Never Sets] system gave him a task. As long as he held a festival, he would get a permanent buff of "Mongolian Rebellion - 3".

The emperor changed his attitude very smoothly and said that they should still respect the Mongolian traditions. The children all started practicing...well, he let the Dalai Lama and others to take charge.

In line with the principle of keeping everything simple, the various ritual implements used in the ceremony were either left by Emperor Batu or taken from the local Lama temple, including skulls of wild animals and birds inlaid with gold and jade, and even human skeletons. Emperor Batu's bag was inlaid with gold and placed together with the three animals as a sacrifice to Changshengtian.

The lamas originally wanted to offer sacrifices to the Buddha, but the emperor said, how many teachers does the Buddha have? The lamas said that you are right, and obediently changed the object of sacrifice to Changshengtian. Anyway, for the lamas, there is no difference between the Buddha and Changshengtian, and the Mongolians have a similar attitude towards the two... Well, they are not the same thing at all, but the emperor has spoken, so let's do it.

Religious leaders always have to submit to secular leaders. Didn't Phagpa, who had attained the supreme Bodhi, get trampled to death by Genghis Khan? Not all lamas are smart, but most of them are smart and know when to be tough and when to be soft.

The people of the Central Plains have a saying called "the wind blows and the grass bends". When the wind blows hard, it is better for them, the grass and trees, to bow their heads. Now Marshal Lin is the strong wind blowing from the northern ice field and the hottest sun in summer. After the People's Army entered Kulun City, the Dalai Lama promoted His Majesty the Emperor to a higher level, from a great bodhisattva to the incarnation of the central fundamental Buddha, Mahavairocana.

Lin Yongchang didn't care what incarnation he was, nor did he care about the ceremony. What he cared about was the effect that the ceremony could bring. If the [Sun Never Sets in the Celestial Empire] system's requirement was not to hold a ceremony, but to kill hundreds of prisoners of war, then hundreds of heads would have to be chopped off. According to the past practice of Mongolia, rebellion meant the death of the whole family. Now Emperor Lin only killed those who participated in it, and did not carry out a large-scale purge, which was already magnanimous.

The ceremony was very grand, Emperor Lin didn't care, but everyone else did. Not to mention the Mongols, all the members of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry came, even those former Mongolian Iron Cavalry members who had to retire because of serious injuries, such as losing a hand or a leg, also came.

They were the most loyal lackeys of Emperor Lin, with proud expressions on their faces. In Mongolian culture, hawks and dogs are not derogatory terms, but praises. Several generals under Genghis Khan were called "four dogs". These people were arranged in neat rows, guarding the left and right of the high platform. They still had big faces and bow legs, but their bodies were bigger than other Mongolians, and even their mounts became taller and stronger, looking murderous.

The other Mongols were in awe and admiration, especially the princes of Mobei, who had all participated in the rebellion and whose life and death depended on the Emperor's decision. Although Emperor Lin had never held them accountable, he had not said he would pardon them either.

Emperor Lin held a public trial in Beijing and killed six or seven thousand foreign devils by beheading and hanging. It was scary to hear that. Every time power changed on the grassland, there was blood and killing. Barto and his followers only died more than a hundred people. Would they kill more people? No one was sure.

If the punishment is unknown, then it is unpredictable.

In fact, they thought too much. Lin Yongchang didn't care about their life or death. He had already prepared a good place for them. As a nomadic people, how can they settle down? Go to the northwest to herd sheep. Genghis Khan Temujin said that all the land under the sun should be turned into Mongolian pastures. The Mongolians talked about Genghis Khan all the time, so go to Central Asia, Siberia, and the Ural Mountains to take back your pastures.

The predecessors of the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate are watching you.

Lin Yongchang had planned it all out. The Russians drove the Cossacks to expand eastward, and he could also drive the Mongols to grab territory all over the world. Especially in those places where there were no railways or the cost of building railways was too high, they could be filled with Mongols. There was no need to let so many Mongols become monks. They could just go to war all over the world. If they won, they would expand their territory, and if they lost, they would consume their population. Whether they won or lost, they would win. They were simply going to win like crazy.

This is 1902, not 2022. This is the era when the great powers use naked force. After China defeated Russia in Liaoxi, it has joined the club of great powers and can eat at the table.

Yang Du looked up at the high platform. Chairman Lin, President Lin, and Emperor Lin, bathed in the sun, looked glittering and magnificent, as if they were gods descending to the earth. He also felt like he was on the edge of a cliff, and if he wasn't careful, he would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.

Just a few years ago, China was a piece of fat meat that could be slaughtered at will. How come the situation turned around in the blink of an eye?

Is it because the previous dynasty was destroyed? In the past, when a country was founded, a large number of famous ministers and generals would emerge. Li Dayan, Wang Qi, Zhao Bi, Liu Chengxiang, Li Yunlong, Xu Wuji, Wu Peifu, Cao Kun and others were all brave and skilled generals who frightened the enemy on the battlefield. Hebei alone produced many warriors and heroes. Is it really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery?

Or is it because a king is born? The ancients said: A king will rise every five hundred years. When the country is in ruins and the country is in decline, a king will be born to restore the old country? But according to his teacher Wang Kaiyun, the five hundred years have not yet come, at least it should be

It should be in twenty or thirty years.

Yang Du learned the "dragon-slaying technique", but he did not believe it completely, he only believed what he saw. Whether it was the traditional Four Books and Five Classics or the knowledge introduced from the West, Yang Du did not accept it completely, but first thought about and understood it, absorbed what he thought was useful, and threw away what he thought was dross.

The drumbeats became more and more frequent, and several shirtless Mongolian strongmen carried up the slaughtered cattle, sheep and horses, and the lamas displayed rare treasures, gold, ritual instruments and other treasures under the high platform. The ceremony was solemn, solemn and long, but no matter how long the ceremony was, it would eventually end. After a long time, this religious ceremony was finally over.

The living Buddhas finished the ceremony, and the drums faded away. The Dalai Lama walked up to the platform, stood beside Emperor Lin, pulled the emperor's right hand up, and then shouted with all his might, "Your Majesty is not only the emperor of the Mongols, but also the emperor of everyone!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Thousands of people prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted together, "Long live, long live, long live!"

The cheers of "Long live the emperor" shook the earth, but Lin Yongchang just felt bored and even wanted to laugh. He had killed two emperors and didn't care about the title of emperor at all.

Chapter 229: Adding to the Fun

Fourth Princess Xiaotong knelt on the ground with the others, stealing a glance at the magnificent figure on the high platform, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew very well why her father sent her to that man, but even if she knew, what could she do? Just like she was sent to the Empress Dowager Cixi before, she was sent to the enemy again, and she had to rack her brains every day to please the enemy and the people around the enemy. In the final analysis, she was just a commodity, a plaything.

In order to please Wuyun Qiqige, she learned to ride a horse, and she also learned to sing and dance so that she could use them in the future. At the beginning, she was worried and sad, but after being with Wuyun Qiqige, she found a peace she had never had before. The president never asked Wuyun Qiqige to do something or not, and always let her do whatever she wanted.

Oerileheke and Wutaihe didn't dare to control their daughter and sister. Wuyun Qiqige rode horses, hunted, climbed trees, caught fish, and did some things that Xiaotong thought were meaningless. She also rode horses, drove prey with the guards, and watched Wuyun Qiqige climb up and down under the tree.

Sometimes Wuyun Qiqige would think about reading. She didn't like reading, but she had to force herself to read. Xiaotong asked her why she did something she didn't like. Wuyun Qiqige said that Lin Yongchang liked reading the most, and she wanted to know what was in the book. For a long time afterwards, Xiaotong studied those obscure knowledge with her.

Lin Yongchang likes to read books, but not the traditional books like the Four Books and Five Classics, but "Das Kapital", "On Contradiction", "Labor Law" and the like. Guan Xiaotong not only doesn't understand them, but has never even heard of them before, so she can only learn with Wuyun Qiqige. But the more books she reads, the more confused she becomes, and the more vague the image of Lin Yongchang becomes in her mind.

Now, she looked at the two people on the platform, her mind still a mess.

Lin Yongchang didn't notice the long-legged girl's confusion, or maybe he noticed it but didn't take it to heart. After receiving three cheers, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"

The sound waves rolled over, and several living Buddhas and lamas beside them were shaken to the ground. The Dalai Lama almost fell to the ground. Wuyun Qiqige stood behind Lin Yongchang, smiling at the painful expressions on everyone's faces. Emperor Lin's voice was too loud, and everyone knew it, but even though they knew it, they still couldn't get used to it!

The voices of thousands of people were suppressed by the emperor, and the surroundings suddenly became very quiet. Tens of thousands of people looked up at the golden figure on the high platform that looked like a god. From Lin Yongchang's perspective, those people looked like big geese with their necks stretched out.

"Hey, I just want to say a few words!"

"Everyone wants me to be the emperor. I have never been an emperor before, so I wanted to refuse. But the Dalai Lama said that the Mongolians need an emperor..."

Many people turned their eyes to the Dalai Lama who was standing at the bottom of the platform, smiling as if holding a flower.

Dalai Lama: ......

"Then I thought, Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and others didn't practice before they became emperors. If they can do it, so can I. If I really can't do it, then there's nothing I can do..."

Everyone was stunned to see His Majesty the Emperor talking nonsense on the high platform, and many people were already in a messy state. Lin Yongchang didn't care what the people below thought, and continued to talk nonsense. The most important thing for a person is to be happy. If you can't even do what you want, what kind of emperor is it!

"......We Mongolians have forgotten our old traditions. From now on, we must pick up the ability to rob and pillage. There are so many countries and tribes out there. We can't just stand there and watch. We have to go out and rob them......."

"Ah, I've said so much without realizing it. I'll stop here and kill a few people to liven up the atmosphere!"

Following the order from Emperor Lin, Batu's nephews, brothers, uncles, and trusted confidants, a total of more than one hundred people,

Many people thought they were dead, but they were not. They had been locked up all along and were only brought out at this time to be sacrificed to liven up the atmosphere.

Seeing those former nobles being dragged out like dead dogs, there was some commotion among the surrounding crowd, but the commotion was quickly quelled by the [Mongol Iron Cavalry] and other troops. Then came the much-loved beheading activity, more than a hundred people were beheaded, and some lamas also lost their heads.

Marshal Lin was always kind to everyone he spoke to, but he was ruthless when it came to killing people. The nobles who participated in the rebellion were beheaded, and so were the lamas who got involved. The Dalai Lama and other lamas had no objection, as this was the rule on the grassland. Compared with the previous grassland lords, Emperor Lin killed fewer people.

The Han people like to watch beheadings, and so do the Mongols. Every time a noble person's head falls off, there will be loud cheers. The atmosphere is very lively. Life on the grassland is more difficult than in the inland areas, and people don't have any entertainment activities. Apart from making people, the greatest fun is fighting. Beheading is not a good idea, but it's also pretty good!

The severed heads were placed on spear tips and inserted around the platform as decoration.

Many people cheered loudly for the emperor's decisive killing, while others shuddered at the sight of the chopped heads. In any case, the ceremony was finally over. Lin Yongchang took off his gorgeous clothes, even his pants, and wore a pair of shorts. He felt very comfortable with his bare chest!
