Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 868 Decisive Battle in Sand City ([-])
Gao Yushi didn't know that Han Naji and Tuotuo were discussing the matter of him inviting the Living Buddha to Tumote, let alone that they thought it was a big and difficult matter, because for Gao Yushi, it was a matter of Very simple matter.

Why is it so simple?Because the Yellow Sect in this period has two basic points: first, it is in urgent need of development; second, it is in awe of Ming Dynasty.

The urgent need for development As mentioned earlier, the Yellow Sect, that is, the Gelug Sect, is severely suppressed in its locality. It is actually very important for them to have such a large room for development in Mongolia. Otherwise, the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso And I wouldn't hit it off with Al Da Khan, give each other titles or something, it's such a joy.

At the same time, the Gelug faction is very afraid of Daming, how afraid is it?When Lama Axing was preaching in Mongolia, he persuaded the Mongolians not to be hostile to Daming on the grounds of "making fewer crimes"; when Sonam Gyatso met with Alta, he emphasized this point again and praised I agree to accept the tribute.

Why is this happening?

It’s a long story, here’s a long story short: Daming established the administrative system of the capital commander, guards, and guards in the snow area very early, and in the early years, many Tibetan leaders were successively appointed as the commanders of the capital and the guards. official position.

There is no lack of such records about Tibetan leaders paying tribute and receiving awards in Ming dynasty records and some Tibetan historical materials.From this we can say that, at least in the first half of the Ming Dynasty, the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty’s capital commanders and guards was implemented in the vast Tibetan areas including Uszang.

As for the current Wanli Dynasty, due to the advancement of the Longwan Great Reform—or more generally, the advancement of the Jialong Wanda Reform, in fact, in the eyes of neighboring countries and regional regimes, the Ming Dynasty is an extremely powerful existence.

In addition, the policy of the Ming court has always been a policy of violent temper in the eyes of outsiders, so except for the left-wing Mongolian Chahar tribe who could not reconcile with Daming because of the word "Dayuan" on their heads, there are almost no tribes in other neighboring countries. Everyone wanted to fight against Da Ming, they were all honest and honest, they just hoped not to offend Da Ming, a irascible old man, so as not to be pinned to the ground and beaten to death.

As for the Gelug sect specifically, there is still a little historical reason to talk about.

Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), the founder of the Gelug Sect, was a native of Huangzhong County, Qinghai Province. He became a monk at the age of 7 and went to Lhasa to study Buddhism at the age of 16.He worshiped dozens of eminent monks of various sects as his teachers, learned Buddhism well, and later recruited disciples himself to promote his Buddhist ideas.

With the support of Drakba Gyaltsan, the King of Chanhua of the Pazhu regime, and Neiwu Zongzongben Nankasangbu, he initiated the first month praying ceremony in Lhasa in the first month of the seventh year of Yongle (1409), and built the Ganden Monastery in the same year , thus establishing the Gelug Sect.

The Gelug Sect announced that it had inherited the teachings of the Kadam Sect taught by Atisha and Zhongdunba, so many Kadam Sect monasteries were converted to the Gelug Sect, so it developed rapidly.When Tsongkhapa was alive, his disciple Zhaxi Beidan built the Drepung Monastery, and Shakya also failed to build the Sera Monastery. Together with the Ganden Monastery, they are called the three major monasteries in Lhasa. This is the early foundation of the Gelug Sect.

When Tsongkhapa passed away, the Gelug Sect had not adopted the method of living Buddha reincarnation to solve the problem of succession of leaders. His disciples Jia Caojie and Ke Zhujie successively inherited his throne, called Ganden Tripa.

Shortly thereafter, the emerging Gelug Sect was restricted and attacked by the Rinpungpa family, and was at a low ebb.During this period, Gendun Zhuba, a disciple of Tsongkhapa in his later years, built a new Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, which became the center of the Gelug Sect in Houzang.

When Gendun Zhuba died, the Dharma platform of Tashilhunpo Monastery was still inherited by his disciples, but at the same time, some people believed that Gendun Gyatso, who was born in Dana, was the reincarnation of Gendun Gyatso, and put Gendun Gyatso as the reincarnation of Gendun Gyatso. Cuoying invites you to live in Tashilhunpo Monastery.

Since the system of living Buddha reincarnation had not yet been practiced in the Gelug Sect at that time, the status of Gendun Gyatso has always been difficult to determine.Later, Gendun Gyatso was repelled by Yixizimo, the Fatai of Tashilhunpo Monastery, and left Tashilhunpo Monastery to study Buddhism in Drepung Monastery.

Gendun Gyatso was active in various parts of Qianzang and gradually became famous. He built the Qukejie Temple in Shannan.In the seventh year of Zhengde, Yixizimo asked him to return to Tashilhunpo Monastery and let him serve as the Dharma platform of Tashilhunpo Monastery. This can be said that the reincarnation of living Buddhas in the Gelug Sect has gained an advantage over the succession of masters and apprentices.

At this time, Rinpung Pa issued an order to prohibit the monks of the Gelug Sect from participating in the praying ceremony in the first month of Lhasa, and the monks of Drepung Monastery asked Gendun Gyatso to return.In the 12th year of Zhengde, Gendun Gyatso served as the Dharma platform of Drepung Monastery. In the 13th year of Zhengde, he presided over the Lhasa First Month Prayer Conference, and won back the right of Gelug monks to participate in the Prayer Conference.In the fourth year of Jiajing, he also served as the Fatai of Sera Monastery.

From then on, all successive reincarnations of Gendun Gyatso had to serve as the Dharma platform of Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery, which made his reincarnation system's influence and actual status surpass that of Ganden Tripa, becoming the actual leader of the Gelug Sect .Nei Wu Zong Zongben also gave him the villa of Drepung Monastery, which was renamed Ganden Phodrang.

After that, it will be the era of Sonam Gyatso. This living Buddha has also introduced it before, so I won’t say much about it.What I want to say is that he has shown extremely high political ability in history, and it is in his hands that the suppressed Gelug faction has achieved its vitality and even great development in Mongolia.

In the process of sending the Yellow Sect to Mongolia and making it take root, the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso made three most crucial actions. In the original history, these three actions all illustrate his political vision and means.

Needless to say, the first time is the meeting with Ida and the exchange of titles.

The second time was that he personally rushed to Tumet to preside over Altan Khan’s funeral—although it took a long time in the original history, it was caused by other factors (the Living Buddha traveled and opened altars for local believers along the way , preaching scriptures), the Living Buddha himself did not hesitate in his decision.

The third time was that he publicly "prophesied" before his death that the fourth Living Buddha would be born in Mongolia.This incident is very interesting, because after his death, Huangjiao and Tumet jointly confirmed that his reincarnated soul boy was a great-grandson of Alta Khan, and the only Mongolian man in history Born as the reincarnated soul boy of the Living Buddha.

I don’t dare to say more about the reason. Anyway, Gao Yushi has already made a dark determination. In the matter of reincarnated soul boys, we will start to do what was done in the history of the Qing Dynasty in advance. It is to transfer the right to confirm the reincarnated soul boy to Daming to decide.

Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso is such a politically minded person, it is easier to persuade him with a high level of pragmatism.

Convincing a smart person is actually much easier than convincing a fool, because a smart person will judge the situation, and a fool will only get into the corner of the horn and cannot get out.

In Gao Yushi’s letter to Sonam Gyatso this time, in addition to praising him for promoting Buddhism and persuading people to do good deeds, the real most important things are three points:
One is to tell him that he is here to preside over the funeral for Alta to strengthen the status of the Yellow Sect in Mongolia; the other is to invite him to give the title to the new Shunyi King, so that he can get the full support of the new young Shunyi King for the next few decades; The third is that after these two things are done well, I will win him a title in front of the Ming Emperor.

The Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso must be able to see the first two things, and the second thing, with Sonam Gyatso's level, he will definitely believe that Gao Yushi has this ability.

Is it important to ask for a title for him in front of the Emperor Ming?

It is very important, because Daming is the "co-lord of the world", no matter how much internal strife there is in the snow area, it is now respecting Daming as the main one. Once the emperor of Ming gives him a title, the foundation of the Yellow Sect in the snow area, including Qinghai and other places It is unshakable.

In addition, Tumed now also enshrines Ming as the main body, so this title is still useful in Tumed, which can strengthen the position of the Yellow Sect and make the Shamanism lose its last chance to fight back.

A living Buddha with great foresight will certainly understand the significance of this.

Therefore, what Han Naji and Tuotuo thought was difficult, in fact, in Gao Pragmatic's view, it was as simple as drinking a bowl of egg drop soup.

Gao Yushi invited the living Buddha Sonam Gyatso to come, which was actually a deal: Daming would give the Yellow Sect a more stable and glorious future, while the Yellow Sect would hand over part of the control to Daming, such as the final identification of the reincarnated soul boy.

This matter is actually quite crucial, and it is also the last plot of Gao Yushi’s previous series of work on introducing the Yellow Sect to Mongolia: After obtaining this power, such as the power to draw lots from the golden urn, the top leaders of the Yellow Sect will have to rely on Daming for major issues—otherwise I will not let him If your living Buddha reincarnation system is carried out normally and orderly, more than half of the theocracy of the Yellow Sect has collapsed.

Moreover, the importance of this system is also reflected in the fact that it can not only affect Mongolia spiritually, but also affect snow areas, Qinghai and other places.

Daqing can have a crabapple leaf, and a big cock after the decline, why can't I be taller than someone?

I must at least make a crabapple leaf!

If it wasn't for this point, after he was worried that the Yellow Church would make Mongolia stronger and weaker, why did he finally choose to let the Yellow Church continue to implement it in Mongolia?

As for the case where the Mongols were really unable to fight at that time, they had to reluctantly ask them to provide war horses to Daming, and wait for the internal military reform of Ming to be completed, and explode the cavalry themselves.

Of course, this premise is that after the Mongolian cavalry is really hopeless, if there is any rescue, Gao Pragmatic still hopes that the Mongolian cavalry will be sent out. After all, the training cost alone can be much lower.

The above are all things he has planned, just wait quietly for the arrival of the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso, and he knows that Sonam Gyatso is smart, and his arrival will definitely be after the end of the Monan War—he and himself If Han Najib wins, Sonam Gyatso will definitely show up on time, if he loses...haha.

Therefore, Gao Yushi's current attention is not on Sonam Gyatso itself, but on defeating Tumen Khan.

Now his "tricks" are basically done, and the conspiracy and conspiracy are two-pronged, just waiting for Tumen Dahan to come and step on the thunder bravely.
