Chapter 549 Canonization of the King of Tibet
The reason why Chen Daoxian was able to occupy Lhasa this time, apart from the lack of local forces in Qinghai-Tibet, was an important reason that the firearms that Ning Chu had supported him at the beginning made the Dayi Army almost invincible when facing the Lama army. Victory is inevitable.

After Chen Daoxian captured Lhasa, he naturally would not forget to announce the good news to Emperor Ning. He sent his confidant Chen Yuzhang to carry a large amount of congratulatory gifts from Qinghai-Tibet to Shaanxi, and then all the way to Nanjing from Guanzhong to express his intention—— Although he occupied Qingzang, he was still a subject of Ning Chu.

Speaking of which, the current Great Rebel Army is quite different from the past. After experiencing so many ups and downs, especially after experiencing many turmoil, this army born out of the White Lotus Sect has also undergone great changes. Variety.

The most critical point is that since Chen Daoxian took office, out of his special relationship with Ning Chu, he has leaned towards Ning Chu from the very beginning, regarded himself as Ning Chu's vassal forces, and deliberately purged the White Lotus Sect. , so that today's Dayi Army has completely broken away from the shadow of the cult.

Of course, Chen Daoxian did this because he wanted to show Ning Yu that he had completely remodeled the Dayi Army in order to get more support from Ning Chu, at least he could no longer treat the Dayi Army as an enemy. , His idea was almost realized, and even the Ningchu cabinet began to consider turning the Dayi army into vassals.

Ning Yu still had quite complicated feelings about his father-in-law, and immediately sighed: "The Dayi Army is able to be what it is today, and it does not live up to the painstaking efforts of the past."

Indeed, in order to change the face of the Dayi Army, Ning Yu did not hesitate to use his shadow to work hard inside the Dayi Army, and finally successfully realized Li Daitao's plan, killed Liu Ruhan, and welcomed Chen Daoxian to take over. In just two years, Chen Daoxian gave He delivered a satisfactory answer sheet.

Cui Wancai had a bit of a smile on his face: "I believe that with this news, Concubine Chen will be much happier, and this time Chen Daoxian brought a lot of congratulatory gifts, including five hundred Hexi horses, two fangs and three honeys." A thousand catties and hundreds of catties of caterpillar fungus, and of course, what's more precious, they also brought along the route map of their march along the way."

Ning Yu's eyes lit up. Of course, he knew how important the route map along the way was. It can be said that with this map, he could follow the direction of the Dayi Army and attack all the way to Lhasa, avoiding too many unnecessary diversions and roads. Dangerous road, this really means surrender!
"Okay, where is the envoy, let him come to see me!" Ning Yu was happy, and naturally wanted to meet the envoy who came to Nanjing.

Soon, a medium-sized literati was sent to the main hall after multiple inspections. It was Chen Yuzhang, the emissary sent by Chen Daoxian, who kowtowed to Ning Yu.

"The minister Chen Yuzhang paid his respects to His Majesty by the order of his uncle! Long live Your Majesty!"

Chen Yuzhang is a distant nephew of Chen Daoxian, and he has been Chen Daoxian's confidant for the past two years, helping him with many things, and his status in the Dayi Army is also different.

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, "I heard that you captured Lhasa, but I am really happy in my heart. If you are blocked by Qinghai-Tibet, it seems that I am a bit too harsh."

Of course, Chen Yuzhang understood the meaning of these words. After all, it was the Ningchu court that forced the Dayi Army to abandon Shaanxi, Gansu, and march westward into Qinghai-Tibet. There will be some regret and guilt.

"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, although the Dayi Army suffered occasional setbacks, it was able to stand firm in Qinghai-Tibet after all. This was also thanks to the firearms supported by His Majesty."

Speaking of this, Chen Yuzhang actually sighed more or less in his heart. Although the Dayi Army successfully captured Lhasa, it also put in a lot of hard work, especially Chen Daoxian and his old brothers, for the survival of the Dayi Army. I worked my brains out and worked hard.

Especially after entering Qinghai-Tibet, in addition to facing attacks from local forces, they also have to face misunderstandings by the Qinghai-Tibet herdsmen. Whether it is cultural differences or religious differences, the local herdsmen will become hostile to the Dayi Army. Under the deceitful tricks of those with intentions, they mistakenly thought that the Dayi Army entered Qinghai-Tibet to force them to convert to the White Lotus Sect, so they launched a series of swearing-in attacks against the Dayi Army.

Of course, although many herdsmen launched attacks against the Dayi Army, the Dayi Army at this time has been equipped with shotguns and artillery on a large scale, and its morale is also very high. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary herdsmen to be opponents of the Dayi Army. The tangled herdsmen were defeated without much effort.

While attacking the local forces in Qinghai-Tibet, Chen Daoxian did not ignore the problems of government affairs. With his back to Ningchu's banner, he was naturally very clear about Ningchu's existing development model, so he took advantage of the power of swordsmen to fight in the New policies were implemented in various parts of Qinghai-Tibet. Especially in the previous wars, he suppressed a large number of Qinghai-Tibet chieftains and chieftains, confiscated a large number of pastures, and redistributed them, thus gaining the support of a group of people.

After he was busy with government affairs, Chen Daoxian immediately launched a plan to reorganize the army. Most of the old, weak, sick and disabled and some family members were resettled, and then the remaining young and strong were reorganized into the army. The 7 people were suddenly reduced to 3, but these 3 people belonged entirely to the Firearms Army, which was much better than in the past.

However, in Chen Daoxian's heart, he didn't think that these 3 people could catch up with the Fuhan Army. After all, apart from the fact that the firearms were not as good as the Fuhan Army, even the training was not professional enough, so the combat power that could be displayed was naturally very limited, so This time Chen Daoxian sent an envoy to Nanjing, in addition to expressing his envoy, he more or less meant to ask for help.

With a slight embarrassment on Chen Yuzhang's face, he said: "Your Majesty, our Dayi Army fought endlessly along the way, and its firearms were seriously damaged. In addition to its own battle damage, many of them were also caused by poor maintenance. Therefore, my uncle sent ministers to Nanjing also hopes that His Majesty can support a batch of firearms, as well as a batch of military instructors."

Ning Yu nodded. Of course he could understand that this was not an excuse. After all, the durability of firearms in this era is not high, and the loss rate is very high. Generally, support is considered after a few more battles, and Chen Daoxian has no self-control at all. The ability of firearms, and there is no stable supply channel for firearms, so they can only ask Ning Chu for help.

Ning Yu is ready to agree to Chen Daoxian's request. He does not regard the 3 people as a threat, but thinks it is a good opportunity. Large-scale military operations are also difficult to form a strong rule there, so it seems a good move for the Dayi Army to station there and implement the New Deal.

In addition, before the Zhungeer Khanate was eliminated, the Zhungeer Khanate and Nian Gengyao and others were always eyeing Qinghai-Tibet. They tried to repeat the past and take Qingzang into their arms. It takes Ningchu's own strength, and the Dayi Army is a very suitable choice right now.

Since the Dayi Army is to play its role in Qinghai-Tibet, the resources that should be given must also be given, and things in name must not be missing.

Ning Yu smiled and said: "I plan to confer General Chen the title of King of Tibet, as my border vassal of Great Chu, guarding the land of Qinghai-Tibet, the corresponding firearms and military instructors are all necessary, what do you think?"

"King of Tibet?"

Not only Chen Yuzhang was taken aback, but even the other ministers were also a little surprised. It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to Chen Daoxian.
Speaking of the name of Tibetan King, there is still a lot of background. There has been a Tibetan King since the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the 59th year of Kangxi that the Qing court escorted the seventh Dalai Lama, Kasang Gyatso, back to Tibet. The Tibetan regime of the Communist Party of China, but at this time there is still a Tibetan king, but it is only the Tibetan king conferred by the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is about to belch farts, a fight broke out between the so-called King of Tibet and the Seventh Dalai Lama in Qinghai-Tibet. Later, the Seventh Dalai Lama killed the King of Tibet. Before he could gather power, Chen Daoxian led the The righteous army entered Qinghai-Tibet, and after several battles, they occupied Lhasa and captured the seventh Dalai Lama.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the current king of Tibet is vacant. If Chen Daoxian is appointed as the king of Tibet, it will naturally be of great benefit to consolidating his position. Therefore, even Chen Yuzhang didn't expect for a while, and there was a sudden expression on his face. The color of ecstasy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if my uncle can be appointed as the King of Tibet, all the members of the Great Rebel Army will be grateful to His Majesty! My Great Rebel Army will also be driven by His Majesty forever!"

Chen Yuzhang's voice was a little trembling, but he understood the great significance of this move. As long as this goal can be achieved right now, any promise can be made.

Speaking of which, Chen Yuzhang is not the people who used to be beside Chen Daoxian. He has read the books and understands the current general trend of the world. It can be said that Ning Chu has completely occupied the entire China, leaving only a few corners The angle will be taken back sooner or later in the future, and the Dayi Army can only cooperate now, and it is impossible to carry out any confrontation.

Therefore, if they want to cooperate for profit, the Dayi Army must prove their value and loyalty, and now Ning Yu wants to throw the hat of King of Tibet on Chen Daoxian's head, which is to recognize the dedication of the Dayi Army.

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll draw up an edict and canonize Chen Daoxian as the King of Tibet. As for the related firearm assistance and military officer assistance, the Privy Council will make a study and decide."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Yuzhang knelt on the ground, and his face suddenly became very excited. As the saying goes, the more prosperous the Dayu Army, the more benefits he can get.

Although Cui Wancai didn't quite understand Ning Yu's decision, he didn't speak out against it. In fact, an empty king of Tibet, to put it bluntly, was the same thing. On the contrary, Chen Daoxian's assistance later made him Somewhat hesitant.

"Your Majesty, the Dayi Army now has 3 people, and they are all firearms troops. If our army helps him to train, at least three divisions can be trained. These should be enough."

In the imperial study room, Cui Wancai showed a little hesitation on his face, he was always on guard against the Dayi Army.

Of course, Ning Yu understood what the other party meant, and immediately said softly: "If there is no Zhungeer and Russia, 3 people will definitely be enough, but in my opinion, if Chen Daoxian is given some assistance, he can target Geer The threat posed by Russia is quite different."

Speaking of which, the Qinghai-Tibet line not only connects Shaanxi and Gansu, but is also not far from the grasslands. Especially the Zhungeer Khanate is on the same line. If you really want to send troops to Zhungeer or even Central Asia in the future, the management of Qinghai-Tibet But it is also indispensable, so when it comes to geo-threats, Chen Daoxian can really pose a threat to Geer and the Russians.

Especially if we want to fight Russia in the future, we will not only have to fight in the Far East, but also use our brains in Central Asia and West Siberia. At that time, Chen Daoxian may be able to act as a surprise soldier and directly attack the Russian Empire. The tigers took their hearts out and used their geographical advantages to force the Russians to extend the front.

Cui Wancai was quick-witted, so he could naturally think of this, but instead he had deeper doubts about this point, "Your Majesty, right now Chen Daoxian wants something from us, so he can naturally drive him, but one day he will no longer be under our control, won't he? Raising tigers is a problem?"

Naturally, everyone can imagine this point. After all, no matter how obedient the vassals are now, they will eventually become hidden dangers in the future-even if San Francisco was at the beginning, it was the dog of the Qing dignitaries. Biting, also because no one can control it anymore.

Ning Yu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, I know the disaster of the vassals, but it is very different now. First of all, Qinghai-Tibet is a remote and remote area, relatively poorer, and it is difficult to have foreign aid. As long as I Dachu can Always maintain a strong position, they naturally dare not act rashly, and secondly, Russia and Zhungeer are the main enemies at the moment, and having Chen Daoxian can also play a restraining role, it is a strategic move."

Speaking of this, Ning Yu's face showed a hint of arrogance, "When things in the north are initially settled, I will let Chen Daoxian return to Beijing, and then it will be logical to digest the Dayi Army and the land of Qinghai-Tibet—Chen Daoxian after all No child, besides his own daughter, who else can he think about?"

"Your Majesty's words are very true, and I am convinced." Cui Wancai had a little admiration on his face. It can be said that the current emperor has already held the hearts of the people in his hands.

Ning Yu looked into the distance, and said softly: "I originally thought that the north and the south would advance side by side this year, but now I find that the fire in the north seems to be unstoppable, so I have to hurry up and lay out the news from the shadow in the north. Is Zewang Allah Butan dying?"
