Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 807

On the Qingtang Plateau in September, there are occasional snowflakes falling, but most of the time, the weather is still good.

Because it is located on a plateau, you can really feel the heat of the sun even in this chilly weather, a strange feeling that the temperature is not high, but your skin hurts from the sun.

After crossing the Tanggula Mountains, you will arrive at the territory of the four northern tribes—Naqu, Yangbajing, Bangcang, and Langru.

Among these four parts, the Nagqu part is the most powerful.

At this time, the Naqu tribe was called the Heishui tribe, which was called according to the customs of the Tang people, because the Naqu River (the upper reaches of the Nujiang River) where the Naqu tribe got its name was called Heishui at this time, and the Naqu tribe was naturally called Heishui. Ministry of Water.

A team of all members is wrapped in silver war robes, with a golden swastika flag on a silver and white background of the Six Dharma Schools, a golden sun and moon flag on a silver and white background for the Zhang Zhou royal family, a golden sun and a universal shining flag on a silver and white background representing Zhang Tie's own supreme identity, and a The team of the three-star banner on a silver and white background, which symbolized the Great Zhou Dynasty, was slowly passing through the territory of the Heishui Department.

Along with the team, there were also a large number of monks wearing silver-white Haiqing robes.

They have thick hands and feet, holding Buddhist beads, drums, etc. Although they do not ride horses, they can keep up with the walking speed of the team with only a pair of iron feet.

During the march, these monks would sing scriptures and songs from time to time, and many soldiers in the team would often get off their horses and sing in unison. It didn't look like a large army coming to conquer, but more like a team of Dharma transmission.

The leader of the Heishui tribe is Napoda, which means black tiger. The Heishui tribe accepts the rule of Zanpu Chiwang Xuzan, the king of Lhasa, and the fifth ancestor of Chiwang Xuzan is the last Zan of the Tubo Empire who exterminated Buddhism. Prandama.

Seeing this strange team approaching, Napoda hurriedly led [-] soldiers to stop it, but soon he was too shocked to speak.

Not only because there are more than 1 soldiers on the opposite side, but also because the soldiers on the opposite side are all wearing silver-white robes, and the black armor inside is very advanced at first glance.

For many years, Napoda only knew from the word of mouth of his ancestors that in the most glorious time of the empire, there was such an iron-clad lion under Zanpu's command.

Napoda took a look at the old armor on his body, and suddenly felt a sense of inferiority in his heart, as if facing a proud and noble snow lion, he was a wild dog that had only rolled in the mud.

"What a beautiful armor! What a strong horse. If I can have such a horse and treasure armor, I can definitely go to Laoxie and show those annoying noblemen what real nobility is."

The youngest son of Poda was chattering by his side, the last time this kid fell in love with the daughter of a noble family when he went to love him, but he was severely despised by others, and he was always suffocating.

"Grandfather, let's get out of here, we can't stop it, even the black water can't stop these godlike warriors.

I heard that they are the disciplinary knights of the living Buddha, the supreme king of heaven. Their swords and guns have been blessed by the supreme heaven. The souls of those killed by them will suffer forever in the endless hell. "

Napoda knew that the eldest son would say that, because his majestic eldest son was called Gelong by the Black Water by outsiders.

Gelong means a beggar in the Tibetan language. Obviously, this is a Buddhist term.

And the reason why his eldest son is called Heishuibian Gelong is that he supported a mentor and his disciples in the tribe.

This benefactor does not mean the benefactor of the Han people. It is pronounced as lama in Tibetan, which means a person with supreme compassion.

Although the descendants of Lang Dama in Lhasa have been implementing the policy of suppressing Buddhism because their ancestors destroyed the Buddha, but until now, this prohibition has been loosened more and more.

Lian Zanpu Chiwang Xu Zan's great-grandfather Niwo Bagun was expelled because of his belief in the Buddha, and lost the right to inherit Zanpu's position.

But they are all the descendants of Langda Mazamp, and the following situation can be imagined.

But Napada was not ready to retreat yet, he had already dismantled the pontoon bridge on the Black Water, and all the nearby ferries were in the hands of the Black Water Department, so there was no danger for the time being.

He was stuck in such a natural danger, how could he give up in vain, the other side should be heading for some cities, and he would not generally kill tribes like the Black Water Department.

And Napoda knew in his heart that the eldest son Gelong had been suppressed by him because of his belief in the Buddha. If he retreated to the territory of the Blackwater Ministry, let these cavalry go there.

Then, when the news of Zanpu's new faith in Buddhism comes out some days later, the supporters behind the eldest son, the eldest son's uncle's family, will come to make trouble for him, and Napoda may be kicked out of power.

That's why he won't leave. He wants to see if these people on the other side are willing to offer some conditions.

Sure enough, seeing that the cavalry from the Heishui Department hadn't left, a man wearing a Tang white robe and a Tubo snow leopard cap came out from the opposite formation.

Behind him, there are several men dressed similarly to Napoda.

"The moon is already hanging on the treetops, and the eagle has already returned to the mountainside. What makes the man from the Blackwater Department not return to the tent?"

The man in the white robe sang loudly, using a standard logical accent.

This is the characteristic of all nations in this era. This kind of scene meeting usually starts with the form of a ballad.

The Han people used to be like this. It is said that there are [-] poems, most of which are applied to similar scenes.

Napada felt a little inferior again, because he had a strong northern four-part accent, and he hadn't learned much about the gorgeous words and beautiful accent in his speech.

But it was impossible not to answer, so he could only hold his nose and sing: "The moon is a god in the sky, so it can hang on the top of the tree.

The eagle has the most comfortable soul, so it can fly back to the mountainside.

Poor people of the Ministry of Blackwater!They are Zanpu's giant mastiffs, and they must guard the felt tents and cannot sleep. "

As soon as Na Poda finished speaking, the three Tubo men who had been standing behind the white-robed man suddenly shouted in unison.

"The loyal mastiff is brave and good at fighting. In order to protect the yurt, it is never afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards.

But Zanpu of Luoxi City is not a benevolent master, and he has never managed the family well.

Only Rinpoche who came down from the mountain brought the compassionate Dharma. "

There was nothing special about these words, but Napoda's eyes widened suddenly, because the three people who sang on the other side of the river were the heads of the three departments of Yangbajing, Bangcang and Langru.

They and the Blackwater Department are relatives married in the era, and they are collectively called the Four Northern Departments.

In extreme shock, Napoda didn't even bother to sing and answer. He hurried to the river, and after seeing that he was indeed the leader of the other three departments, he shouted in disbelief: "Zanpu is not a good leader, But he is always from Tubo!"

"Jiamusa came from the Han region, but he is still a Bodhisattva of the Tubo people.

Isn't the mother of Dharma king Zanpu Trisong Detsen also a princess from Han?

Athletes from the Black Water Department, can you recognize this flag? "The man in the white robe is Lun Boren, and the banner he unfurls is also the banner with the crest of their ancestor, the Gaer family, where Lu Dongzan, the great chancellor of Tubo, belonged.

Napoda was shocked. Although the Gar family had left the plateau for hundreds of years, the legend of their family has never been broken.

After all, the meaning of Ludongzan to the Tibetans is even higher than that of Songtsen Gampo at certain times, at least he can be regarded as a heroic ancestor on the same level.

Seeing that Napoda was shocked, Lun Boren said again, "The body of the Supreme Heaven was born in Dunhuang, Shazhou, and grew up in Dunhuang. Many of the six generations of fathers and ancestors went to Shazhou Festival. Why do you want to take the body of the Supreme Heaven? Say it has nothing to do with the Tubo people?

How bold! "

Jie'er is the official title of Tubo, which is roughly equivalent to the governor of the Tang Dynasty. There were indeed people who served as Jie'er in Shazhou in the ancestors of the Zhang family.

In the past, Tubo Zanpu Chisong Dezan insisted that his biological mother was Princess Jincheng in order to prevent Hexi Tang'er from violently resisting his rule. people.

And this is exactly Zhang Tie's advantage. The emperors of all dynasties did not have such a close relationship with the Tubo people.

And because of the deeds of the Zhang family, especially Zhang Yichao, Zhang Tie can flexibly adjust the direction of propaganda.

Normally speaking, Zhang Yichao is of course a great hero who never forgets his homeland and vows to return to Tang Dynasty.

But on the Tibetan side, it can also be described as being dissatisfied with the Zanpu family's oppression of the local real power faction. Anyway, when Zhang Yichao raised his army, a large number of Tibetans participated under his command.

As for Zhang Yichao killing a large number of Tubo nobles and officials, and finally returning to the Tang Dynasty, this is nothing in the eyes of Tubo people.

Because just before and after Zhang Yichao raised his troops 100 years ago, a large-scale civilian uprising broke out in Tubo. They dug up the tombs of Zanpu and killed a large number of descendants and nobles of the Zanpu family.

To be honest, the scale of the uprising in Shazhou at that time was relatively small compared to the larger civilian uprisings. The ancestors of Napoda started their business by relying on this turmoil.

Therefore, upon hearing Lunpo Rinpoche's words, the last bit of discomfort in Napoda's heart dissipated immediately, and he stood by the river, bowing to the monks of the Six Dharma Schools in the distance.

"Servant, I have heard for a long time that the Buddha's light is shining all over the mountain. It is a great fate to see you today. Please wait a moment, Rinpoche. Immediately build a bridge and send a boat to welcome you."

After speaking, Napoda hurriedly ordered his younger son to do bridge building and other things, and even changed his attitude towards his eldest son Gelong.

"What my son said is right. The Black Water Department should have knelt down to welcome the light of mercy from the sky long ago. Hurry up and invite the benefactors from the tribe. All of us must believe in Buddhism."

Nagqu is the northern gateway of Luoxie. With the help of the Heishui Department, the coalition of more than 31 troops composed of the six tribes of Dafeichuan and [-] Dongdai of Songpan Prefecture quickly passed the natural barrier of Naqu River and began to advance towards Luoxie.

At the same time, after passing Nagqu, we came to the core area of ​​relatively dense plateau.

Along the way, with the big-mouthed propaganda of the four northern ministries, the news that the light of mercy from the heavens is about to descend on them, like the cold wind in September, quickly spread everywhere.

Soon, the Buddhism on the plateau, which had been suppressed for more than 100 years, began to wake up. Countless Rinpoches, Lamas, and Gelong came out of the hidden holes like groundhogs who had awakened, and followed behind the team one after another.

Even though the cold wind was blowing along the way, pious people continued to welcome them along the roadside with their families.

They held up the only food they had, hoping that the Dharma team from outside the mountain would accept their offerings.

There are also countless oppressed Buddhists, armed with wooden spears and broken knives, and followed the team to Luoxie.

When Lun Boren waited for Nagqu, he only rode 3 paces, and when he passed Dangxiong, there were almost [-] people. When he arrived outside the city of Luoliu, there were at least [-] to [-] people. Riding a lot.

This is also an important reason why Lun Boren and the others decided to go straight to Luoxi. Originally, he wanted to camp in Nagqu and wait for the spring of next year before going to Luoqi for a decisive battle with Zanpu's army.

Of course, these [-] to [-] cavalry are just coming with them. If there is a real fight, it will still depend on these [-] cavalry to decide the outcome.

The remaining [-] to [-] riders, although many of them are Buddhist believers or even monks, but the vast majority of them will help whoever wins them.

In some cities, Zanpu Chiwang Xu Zan discussed with the ministers around him in fear, this is really a disaster!
You must know that the Lhasa royal family has been passed down to the present, all relying on the feudal noble families such as Lu Hui, Ba, and Re to hold them up as Zanpu in name, and the power cannot leave the Potala Palace.

Could it be that even this little bit of power is going to be snatched away now?
When they arrived outside the city, Lun Boren also deliberately went down to the village and did not provoke. Zanpu and the Tubo nobles who were terrified in the whole city didn't know what they were here for.

After waiting for two days, in this strange atmosphere, at least nearly [-] Tibetans gathered outside Luoxie city, and there were huge crowds of people to watch the fun.

Lun Bo Rencai ordered people to go forward to challenge him, and outside the city enumerated the Zanpu family's atrocities of destroying Buddha and the cruel oppression of the rule.

This is the strategy prepared by the Great Zhou Zhaowu Scholars' Office and the theorists' own think tanks when they set off.

If the fight really started, although the Zanpu family would have been torn apart long ago, the Lhasa royal family would not have much power in their hands.

However, as the core area of ​​the plateau, Luoxie still has a population of tens of thousands of people around it, and its combat effectiveness is not low. In addition, there are several reasons such as natural dangers and climate.

With the Tubo leftovers such as Dafeichuan Liubu and Songpan 31 Dongdai, with the concerted efforts of the local people, there is a high probability that they will be defeated.

But now that they have done this, they immediately turned what was originally an act of seizing power into Xingfu Plateau Buddhism and the Gar family came back for revenge.

Then this is lively, there hasn't been such a lively drama on the plateau for hundreds of years.

Anyway, it was an internal struggle, and no one else was involved. Many tribal warriors and ordinary people came to watch with their families. It was even more lively than the Yasan Festival, the predecessor of the Tibetan New Year.

When Lun Boren was overjoyed at the sight, he immediately ordered his soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, cook salty and sweet milk tea, make delicious highland barley tsampa, and even brought out wine from Khotan. Three feet.

At this time, life on the Qingtang Plateau was still relatively difficult without the support of the Huangshui Valley and the northern part of Tianzhu.

Sugar and salt, especially white sugar, are very precious on the plateau, and ordinary people can't eat them easily, let alone Khotan wine. Zanpu can only drink a small glass every day.

At this time, Li Xiaojie, the deputy commander of Jinyi's personal guards, the master manipulator hidden in the team, appeared.

He ordered the monks of the Six Dharma Sects to give lectures on the left, and those who were willing to listen to the monks' lectures and recite the Buddhist names of the Six Dharma Sects were given tsampa and small pieces of beef and mutton, and children also had white sugar lard cakes from the Central Plains to eat.

He also ordered Lun Boren and others to set up a ring on the right, and invited Tubo warriors to compete on the stage. The winner drank fine Khotan wine and ate large pieces of beef and mutton.

The loser also has a bowl of steaming milk tea to drink and tsampa to eat.

This is so attractive, under Li Xiaojie's manipulation, the outside of Luoxie City is really crowded with people, it has not been so lively in many years.

Young and old are listening to the Dharma and prostrating.The men compete in the arena and on the racecourse, and make friends with martial arts.Women dressed in flowered clothes sang and danced everywhere, drinking sweet milk tea greedily together.

Some small tribes and herdsmen even brought their wives and daughters here to exchange genes with these people from outside the mountains, lest there be only fools born in the tribe.

Zanpu and nobles in the city were all dumbfounded. Damn you, are you here to fight a war, or visit your relatives?
　In the evening, there is another one with about 4500 words, and today it will be updated with 9000 words, which is barely enough to make up for what was not updated yesterday.
