This Qing is wrong

Chapter 219 Going South
In the autumn of the eighth year of Wuwei, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Tang army marched into the Puppet Liao Dynasty in the Western Regions. The whole journey was like a broken bamboo, and there was no enemy.

So far, the Western Regions have ended the thousand-year history of being controlled by Buddhism.

On the holy mountain, there were corpses of monks all over the place. Under the deliberate promotion of the Tang Empire, the news spread throughout the Western Regions.

The Buddhist sects on the Snowy Plateau began to carefully absorb the grassroots forces of Buddhism in the Western Regions, and handed over all military power to the Tang Empire. Since then, the temples no longer have the right to support monks and soldiers.

The practice system of monks and Zen masters was banned and became a forbidden method in the world.

The Buddhist cultivation system was all shelved, and all circulation channels were controlled by the Tang Empire on the grounds of affecting human minds.

The monks in the Western Regions were collectively relocated to the Snowy Plateau and classified as Snowy Buddhism. The Western Regions began to be completely sinicized, and Taoism entered the Western Regions with a strong attitude.

Like Western sects, Buddhism is restricted to spread in a fixed area, and other areas can only have one legal sect—Taoism.

In the Taoist school, only Taoist Patriarch Li Changqing can be worshiped.

Zheng Jing and other rebellious generals of the Zheng family army were killed by Chu Qingxi himself, and the middle and lower ranks of the Zheng family army were broken up and incorporated into the Western Region Garrison Corps directly under the central government.

Together with the armies of other warlords and governors, they launched a large-scale extermination of Buddhism in the Western Regions.

In addition, the Japanese samurai brought by Li Changqing began to entrust farms in the Western Regions, controlling the countryside and oases in the Western Regions.

Except for transportation points and cities, they were entrusted to Japanese samurai.

It was this move that made the people of the Western Regions completely lose the foundation of resistance.

Those Japanese samurai were all brave and ruthless, and they were very capable of suppressing ordinary farmers.

After all, when the Japanese samurai were in Japan, they were the privileged class riding on the heads of Japanese farmers.

A Japanese samurai manages farms with tens of hundreds of people, and firmly controls the vast and sparsely populated Western Regions.

The Western Region Garrison Corps is only stationed in traffic points and large and medium-sized towns.

The Japanese samurai who got the fief did not need to pay taxes, but they had to serve in the military when necessary, and they also worked part-time as security personnel in the Western Regions.

Every ten Japanese samurai set up a samurai Shifu chief, every hundred Japanese samurai set up a samurai centurion, every thousand Japanese samurai set up a samurai battalion, and the central government of the Tang Empire dispatched officers to take charge of overall management.

Because these Japanese samurai had fiefdoms, there was no need for the central government of the Tang Empire to continue to bear the military salary.

This system of samurai enfeoffment allowed the Tang Empire to complete the Buddhist extermination campaign in the Western Regions in a very short period of time, and transferred many governors and warlords to the Kazakh grasslands, and sent troops to Central Asia!

Of course, a mere Western Region with a vast area and few people could not accommodate [-] Japanese samurai.

After all, enfeoffment is divided according to population, not land area.

Japanese samurai are all full-time soldiers. If they are not entrusted with the population, no matter how much land the Japanese samurai get, they will have to abandon it.

They don't know how to farm!
In other words, Japanese samurai who know how to farm and are willing to farm will not respond to the call of the Tang Empire to join the expeditionary force.

In this way, Li Changqing used the towns directly under the central government and the Japanese samurai to control the countryside. In the ninth year of Wuwei, the Western Regions became the rear support of the expeditionary force.

Li Changqing, who had done all this, did not seem to intend to stop his conquests, and set his sights on Central Asia and even the Indian Qing Dynasty, which had established a firm foothold in northern India.

Of course, the news of the Tang Empire's conquest of the Western Regions also reached the ears of Emperor Kangxi in Lahore, India through Central Asia.

Today's Indian Qing Dynasty is very stable under the rule of "five eight banners and one green battalion".

All sects got their benefits except the Indian Dalits.

The Five and Eight Banners, that is, the Manchu Banners, Han Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, Hui Eight Banners, and Indian Eight Banners, occupied their own spheres of influence in northern India one after another and became a military aristocratic class relying on land.

The Sikh Green Camp has been recognized because of its own religious philosophy, and no longer suffers from religious discrimination or even poll tax persecution in its hometown, and is also grateful to Emperor Kangxi.

Emperor Kangxi, who occupied the rich northern part of India, had already migrated the Manchu Eight Banners and their family members from Samarkand, and Samarkand, like other Central Asian lands, was entrusted to the Hui Eight Banners.

In this way, the Eight Banners became the barrier of the Qing Dynasty in Central Asia, so that the Persian Empire did not dare to look directly at it.

The military aristocrats of the Indian Eight Banners are actually the original Kshatriyas. The benefits they gained in the Indian Qing Dynasty are to keep their original interests.

As the weakest fighting force in the Five Eight Banners and One Green Battalion, but controlling the most populous Yin Eight Banners, they are quite self-aware, and did not ask Emperor Kangxi for additional partition.

They are even willing to let the other Eight Banners wantonly oppress Hindu untouchable Sudras and Dalits who are not even untouchables.

The Manchu Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, and Han Eight Banners, as the basic plate of Emperor Kangxi, were naturally placed in the towns and farms in the area from Kabul to Lahore.

Among them, the Han Eight Banners were entrusted by Emperor Kangxi in the surrounding areas of Kabul, as a military force to defend Kabul, the northern capital of the Qing Dynasty in India.

Because the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are mostly composed of infantry, and Kabul is the capital city of Afghanistan, with many mountains and forests, which is just suitable for the infantry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, all the brave and warlike tribes in Afghanistan have been "recruited" by Emperor Kangxi as the Eight Banners, some of them are landlords in Central Asia, and some of them are nobles in northern India.

These tribes that can fight in Afghanistan are still very grateful to Emperor Kangxi, and they can be regarded as half of Emperor Kangxi's loyalists. Their loyalty to Emperor Kangxi even ranks ahead of the Sikh Green Camp.

The Mongolian Eight Banners are scattered on the territory from Kabul to Lahore, while the Manchu Eight Banners are concentrated around Lahore and other rich cities in northern India.

Today's Eight Banners of India are very close to Emperor Kangxi.

There is no need to mention the hard core of Emperor Kangxi who are full of Eight Banners.

Under the Manchu Eight Banners are the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolia Eight Banners. There is no distinction between the two. In India and Central Asia, they have no other way out except to rely on Emperor Kangxi. Their population base is too small!
Afterwards, there are quite a few of them, and the Eight Banners armed forces came out of the poor mountains and bad waters.

However, the composition of the Eight Banners is more complicated. The Hui Eight Banners of the Central Asian tribes who did not go south with Emperor Kangxi to print, and the Hui Eight Banners who were entrusted in Samarkand, their loyalty to Emperor Kangxi is very average.

They feel that they have not eaten the fattest part, and they have to help the Indian Qing Dynasty guard the northern gate, which is quite unwilling.

However, following Emperor Kangxi, the Hui Eight Banners, which were entrusted to the fertile areas of northern India, were mainly Afghan tribal fighters. They had a high degree of support for Emperor Kangxi, second only to the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Further down is the right to freedom of religion and the Sikh Green Battalion, which belongs to its own armed forces.

The one with the most mediocre loyalty to Emperor Kangxi is Yinbaqi.

For the Indian Banners, they appear to be nobles of the Eight Banners on the surface, but internally they still use the original caste system of Hinduism.

In the eyes of the Indian Eight Banners dignitaries, Emperor Kangxi is no different from the dead Aurangzeb, except that Emperor Kangxi is better at fighting.

If another strong man from the north defeats Emperor Kangxi, Yin Baqi will definitely be the first to kneel down to meet him.

Hinduism can survive for a long time, relying on this "sight value".

Emperor Kangxi was originally planning to go south to attack the Maratha Alliance.

Without Aurangzeb's policy of religious persecution, the not well-organized Maratha Alliance immediately lost its goal of common struggle.

In the eyes of the leaders of Hinduism, Emperor Kangxi, who replaced Aurangzeb, was a very enlightened monarch, and there was no need for everyone to fight against him desperately.

Even if they were defeated, they would end up being incorporated into the Eight Banners.

The one who should be the uncle is still the uncle.

Not surprisingly, in the Maratha Alliance, apart from those rulers who wield great power, the Kshatriyas who are officials and even command the army, and the Brahmins who have great social influence, have become less interested in resisting the Indian Qing Dynasty. lack.

Emperor Kangxi took advantage of this. During these days, he often contacted those Brahmins and Kshatriyas in private, waiting for the time to come to the south.

However, before Emperor Kangxi started his great journey to unify India, he received the terrifying news of the destruction of Buddhism in the northern Western Regions.

Li Changqing, the false lord of the Tang Dynasty who robbed him of the Qing Dynasty, actually started a long personal expedition, and he even reached the Kazakh grassland!

Emperor Kangxi didn't understand why the Tang's local cabinet hadn't rebelled even after the emperors of Tang had traveled so far.

At this time, Tang's local army and even the Japanese samurai mercenaries who were training were basically under the control of Tang's cabinet. They didn't need to stand up if they wanted to rebel, because the cabinet already had the highest power.

According to the information obtained by Emperor Kangxi, Li Changqing, who has now personally visited the Kazakh grassland, can really control only a group of governors and warlords dragged by him, and the poor land in the Western Regions.

Although the Tibetan army on the Xueyu Plateau was also brought by Li Changqing's side, with the influence of the Buddhism on the Xueyu Plateau, as long as there is an order, the Xueyu Plateau will immediately break away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Kangxi couldn't understand why the puppet Tang Emperor Li Changqing was having such a good time, why the rear was so stable...

In the end, Emperor Kangxi could only conclude that those in power in the rear were afraid of Li Changqing's ability to deploy war puppets.

Then Emperor Kangxi panicked.

He didn't even dare to stay in Lahore, the obvious capital, but quietly migrated to a nearby big city, just to avoid Lahore's monster war puppets that might fall from the sky.

Emperor Kangxi's caution saved his life.

In the ten years of Wuwei, the Tang Army, who had replenished many young men and supplies on the Kazakh grassland, formally launched an attack on Central Asia.

Prior to this, the envoys of the Tang Empire had already begun to lobby the dignitaries of the Eight Banners in Central Asia, asking them to surrender.

When Li Changqing went south to use troops against the Qing Dynasty in India, Emperor Kangxi was not idle. He personally met envoys from the far west of the Netherlands, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden (Sweden is a veritable name in this era. European powers), envoys of the Raksha State, and envoys of the Pope.

It just happened to form the Eight-Nation Alliance... oh no, the Eight-Nation Envoys.

Emperor Kangxi himself naturally did not have such a big face to invite these European powers.

The envoys of the eight countries, except for the Pope, who used religion to make up their numbers, the other seven countries were either naval powers or army powers, and they were all quite powerful countries in Europe.

Among them, the Raksha Kingdom is threatened by the expansion of the Tang Empire.

The reason is very simple. Originally, there were a few tribal brothers from the Raksha Kingdom on the Kazakh grasslands. As a result, after the Tang Empire passed, those tribal brothers were either wiped out or became Li Changqing's younger brothers...

Then the Tang Empire sent envoys to warn the border generals of the Raksha Kingdom that if they should send troops to cross the border line delineated by the Tang Empire, they would immediately fall on the capital of the Raksha Kingdom, Moscow!
A blatant threat!
The tsar of the Raksha country can only swallow the bitter pill.

With the destruction of Buddhism in the Western Regions, the news that Emperor Li Changqing of the Tang Dynasty would launch monsters and war puppets from a long distance had already spread in Europe.

You must know that the main reason why the Kazakh grassland in this world has not been swallowed up by the Raksha Kingdom is because of the mighty power of the holy mountains in the Western Regions.

In terms of high-end combat power, Western magicians, priests, and knights are no match for Western Buddhism.

As a result, it was such a 'Buddha' who blocked the Raksha Kingdom from going south, and it was wiped out by the rising Tang Kingdom in the east.

It is considered by the Raksha Kingdom to be the most dangerous holy mountain in the Western Regions in the world, and not a single monk has survived, which is terrible!

With such a brilliant record, how could the Raksha Kingdom not panic?
Now that the Rakshasa country knew about it, it was naturally not difficult for other European powers to know about it.

Although all the powerful countries on the continent of Europa think that Raksha is a mixed race of Mongols, everyone still agrees with the national strength of Raksha.

If it wasn't for the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Swedes would have dominated Northern and Eastern Europe long ago!
Even the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania ranks behind the Rakshasa Kingdom in the eyes of Western European powers.

It is not that the army of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is weak, but that the political system of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania is too divided.

The king is not a king at all, he can only be regarded as a speaker, and every high-ranking nobleman has a veto!

The Polish Parliament is above the Polish King, which has resulted in the military power of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania being unable to cohere most of the time.

In many cases, the nobles of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania formed gangs and played their own games.

The nobles of the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom in the north and the east tend to fight against Sweden and Rakshasa, and the nobles of the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom in the south have a very strong relationship with the Holy Roman Empire...

The King of Poland is even more pro-German!
When Vienna was besieged by the Ottoman Empire, the Polish King Pidianpidian took all the Polish troops he could bring to support, and he insisted on continuing the life of the Holy Roman Empire. As a result, the strength of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania itself was not light.

Such a country is a typical example of self-preservation and lack of aggressiveness, so naturally it will not become a worry for the European powers.
