Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 849
Northwest of Lasa, 180 miles.

Yangbajing.

A group of cavalry disturbed a group of argali. The knight ignored the frightened argali and went straight to Yangjing Temple.

The cavalry rushed to the front of the temple, and a group of Heshuo special cavalry came up to intercept.

A knight jumped off his horse vigorously. He was wearing a red cotton armor, an iron helmet with double flags on his head, a blunderbuss on his back and a knife on his shoulders. Jumping off the horse, he took out a document with a paint seal from the cowhide bag on his back.

"I am Wang Zhenwu, who joined the army in the Weizang Yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and I am here to deliver a letter from Ganden Pozhang under the order of my family's Weizang General, General Wang Da.

The V, Diba and Uizang Minister asked Dayan Jinong to immediately go to the Lhasa White House, which is the Fearless Lion Throne, to inherit the throne of Heshuote Khan and take care of the funeral of Gushi Khan. "

"Come with me!"

After hearing this, a Heshuo nobleman waved to Wang Zhenwu and led him into the temple.

Yangjing Temple has been built for more than 100 years. It is an important temple here. Herdsmen from nearby often come to offer incense, and Dayan is in the temple at this time.

Yangbajing is the only place on the way from Damxiong to Lhasa, and it is also the upper reaches of the tributary of the Lasa River. At the beginning, Gushi Khan placed thousands of elite cavalry from Heshuote who followed him into Tibet in Damxiong, which was also thoughtful. , although Lasa is the center of Weizang, it is not very suitable for horse herding. Damxung, not far away, is a very good pasture, and it extends in all directions. No matter where you go, it is extremely fast and convenient. Put this elite team here. It can not only make the great monks less worried, but also have the effect of being able to respond immediately when something happens.

Just like now, Dayan heard the news that his father was poisoned on the way, or by his concubine mother who had an affair with him, so he went straight to Dangxiong, mobilized four thousand knights and rushed to Lhasa quickly.

Although Dayan was thought by Gushi Khan to be a bit indecisive and decisive, but after all, he is also a brave warrior who has experienced battles and has a keen intuition. He knows that the Heshuote warrior in his hand is the most reliable at such times.

Wang Zhenwu entered the temple and saw Dayan, the eldest son of Gushi Khan, with red eyes.

"How is Lasa?"

"Gush Khan's body has been placed on the fifth floor of the White House. Everyone is waiting for Jinong to go back to inherit Khan's position, and then take care of Gush Khan's funeral."

"Have you caught the murderer who poisoned my father?"

"Not yet, and it has not yet been confirmed who is the murderer. Jin Butang said that he should first ask Jinong to go back to succeed him, and then take care of the funeral for Gushi Khan. As for the murderer who murdered Gushhan, we will investigate after the major events are completed. It will definitely be found, please rest assured, Jinong."

"Jinbutang has already reported this matter to the saint urgently, Daming will support Jinong to inherit the Khan throne."

Da Ting looked at the letter signed and sealed by His Majesty V, Suonan Raodan, Jin Shengtan, Wang Chaoxian, etc., holding it in his hand and pondering for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go now."

After receiving this letter, especially after seeing Minister U-Tsang's messenger, he felt much more at ease.

On the same day, Dayan led 180 Dangxiong cavalry to Lhasa, [-] miles away, and Wang Chaoxian and Sonam Raodan went to greet him outside the city in person.

Dayan left the brigade to station by the Lasa River, and took 200 people with the dynasty to Bu Palace first.

"Please grief!"

Wang Chao first hugged Dayan, "Don't worry, Jinong, we will fully support you."

Dayan couldn't help being moved when he heard this.

After entering the White House, he went directly to the fifth floor, where Gush Khan used to work in the White House, but now it has become a place of death.

Dayan knelt in front of his father's coffin and wept. Unexpectedly, when he left, something happened to his father.He suspected that his father was poisoned by someone sent by Sonam Raodan, and there was even an envoy of the Fifth King behind him.

But at this time in the palace, the Fifth Great Monk and Suonan Raodan also stared at Dayan on the ground with suspicion. After all, they all knew about Dayan's affair with Layang, and Gushi Khan was most likely Layang. Yang was killed, but now Layang is nowhere to be seen. Dayan is naturally the most suspected, and Gush Khan was killed, and it can be said that Dayan benefited the most.

Both sides have their own thoughts.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed rather heavy.

In any case, Gushi Khan was also a generation of heroes, but now he died suddenly like this.

Dayan cried for a while in front of his father's coffin, and when he got up, he suddenly looked at Jin Shengtan, "I heard that Jinbutang is good at supporting spirits and descending spirits. Qian Qianyi, Ye Shaoyuan and other famous people are very good at holding ghosts in their homes, can you ask Jinbutang to work hard for me once, I want to borrow Jinbutang's magic power, and ask my father Khan to come down!"

Dayan's words stunned everyone present.

But Jin Shengtan did not refuse.

Speaking of Jin Shengtan, the Minister of Wei Zang is also a legend. He is only in his 40s now, and he has been in the third rank. Poor, born in Suzhou, childhood lonely and impoverished, only had the opportunity to study in a private school at the age of nine, likes reading, indulges in Water Margin, later passed the examination of scholar, but spends too much, often living in poverty.

He believes in gods and Buddhas, likes to read Buddhist scriptures and make friends with monks, and he also learned the ability to hold a spirit with one hand. He started to support spirits in Wu County when he was 20 years old.

The so-called Fushi is actually somewhat similar to divination and asking divination, but the form is different. The general operation is to ask the gods to descend from the body, and then write a poem on the sand table with a pen.

Jin Shengtan's ability to hold up a shaman is very good. Not only the poems he wrote are beautiful, but he can often tell the main idea of ​​the subject. Later, he even called himself the incarnation of the disciple of the Tiantai Grandmaster, entrusting him with the name of Master Li'an. Even Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, invited him to his home to help the spirit, and even bluntly said that Jin Shengtan seemed to be dominated by some kind of god.

However, before the Shaotian Dynasty, Jin Shengtan did not enter the official career. At the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, he began to comment on novels such as Outlaws of the Marsh, and he also opened classes to recruit students and give lectures.

This uninhibited talent whose real name is Zhang Cai was considered unappreciated, but later Zhu Yihai sent him out of the mountain when he attacked the Three Wus in the north. At first, he walked beside Zhu Yihai, and later he served as a local official in the Imperial Academy, and then elected him as Minister of Wei Zang. , I also fancy that this person is not an ordinary Donglin Fushe's mouthpiece, but has the ability to adapt.

The emperor chose him as the Minister of Weizang, and chose him as the general of Weizang, who was born in the southwestern chieftain, to be his civil and military partner, and he was the main one.

At this time, Dayan asked Jin Shengtan to help him to descend to the spirit, but Jin Shengtan did not refuse.

Fushi does not require much preparation, a sand table or just paper and pen will do.

Zhu Yihai once discussed Fushi with him, and bluntly said that this is just an advanced psychology.

Incense.

clean hands.

Then sit there and close your eyes.

After a while, Jin Shengtan suddenly opened his mouth and yelled, and sang a song.

Dayan and the others didn't quite understand, it was a piece of Kunqu opera.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Shengtan stopped talking, but picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

A military officer from the U-Tibet Yamen recited and translated the poems written by the side. The words really showed skill, the words were beautiful, and the most important thing was that the content was also very good.

It is Gushhan who is talking about things.

After writing the [-]-sentence long poem, it also confessed Datong as Gushri Khan. The core thing is naturally to let the eldest son Dayan inherit the Khan throne, and then confessed that Dayan should respect the fifth Dalaihe after succeeding to the throne. The fourth class* must respect the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The Heshuote Khanate will always be the vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the two great monks will always be the religious leaders of the Heshuote Khanate.

He also emphasized that Ganden Podrang should continue to use Sonam Raodan as the general regent of Diba, and that the thirteen sects should also be served by great nobles who were born as lamas, etc.

Dayan is most concerned about who is the murderer of his father, and the poem says that everything is cause and effect, and he is told not to pursue it any further.

Finally, arrangements were made for the division of Heshuote's tribe and his property.

Gush Khan had a total of ten sons, and he let his eldest son Dayan inherit the Khan throne.

Then the ranch in Qinghai was distributed among the ten sons and divided into left and right wings. Those who lived on the left wing were Dayan, Ombu,

The four sons of Dalantai and Bayan Abugai Ayushi, who are on the right wing, are Yilduqi, Dorji, Hulumushi, Sanggarza, Gunpo Chahun and Dashbatur.

Dayan of the left wing inherited the position of Heshuote Khan, and his sons managed his pastureland and tribes in Qinghai, while the sixth son of the right wing, Dalai Hongtai Jidorji, was the governor of Qinghai, who was in charge of the left and right wings of Qinghai. Each of the two wings chose one person to serve as the wing leader.

In Kangba and Kashgar and other places, eight general managers were established, and the eight grandsons of Gushri Khan were in charge.

A hundred sentences.

After reading and translating by joining the army, everyone could understand it very well.

Dayan Khan was very satisfied with the result and shouted for orders.

Jin Shengtan sat there with his eyes rolled up, and opened his eyes after a while, indicating that the Fushi was over.

Dayan is full of gratitude.

The Fifth King and Sonam Raodan sat on the sidelines and watched the entire ceremony. Although Jin Shengtan claimed to be the reincarnation of the second son of Master Wutai Mountain and was considered a member of their Buddhism, they still felt that Jin Shengtan's behavior just now was an opportunity to interfere in Heshuote's internal affairs. suspected.

The so-called shamanism, asking the recently deceased Gushi Khan to possess him, and then explaining these things in poems, is it too mysterious?
But the great monks themselves, whether it is the Gelug Sect or the entire Tibetan Buddhism, has not followed such a set of patterns for thousands of years.

What's more, under the current complicated situation, they can't rush to oppose and criticize. After all, what Jin Shengtan said about the spirit possession did not affect them, and it was even in line with the results of their previous discussions.

However, Jin Shengtan descended from the spirit, and in his capacity as Gushi Khan, divided and arranged Heshuote Zhutaiji. They always felt offended, but there was nothing they could do.

Da Ting was very happy. Through this shamanizing ceremony, the legitimacy of his Khan succession was strengthened, which meant that he was recognized by the Ming court, the leaders of the Gelug Sect, the Ganden Phodrang government, and Gush Khan.

Although his father's property is still all given to the sixth child, which makes him a little dissatisfied, but compared with the position of the Great Khan, those are not too important. After all, Qinghai's territory is divided into ten, and he still has one. The land of U-Tsang means that the other brothers have no share, but Khamba and Kashgar are divided into eight pieces and handed over to his eight nephews.

Dayan succeeded He Shuote Khan.

The fifth king, Dipa Sonam Raodan, and Minister of U-Tsang Jin Shengtan, General U-Tsang Chaoxian jointly witnessed that Dayan sat on the throne of the Fearless Lion.

The first thing to do when he ascended the throne was to inform his brothers and nephews to come to Lhasa for the funeral. At the same time, he immediately reported the funeral news of Gushri Khan to the Ming Emperor, and asked the Ming Dynasty to canonize him as the new Khan to succeed him.

In front of the new Khan, Sonam Raodan also ordered the thirteen sects, local nobles, and monasteries to come to Lhasa to meet the new Khan and mourn the old Khan.

The handover of the old and the new seems to be very smooth.

Jin Shengtan and Wang Chao returned to the Yamen first.

A soldier came in to report. This soldier had a special status. On the surface, he joined the army in the Yamen, but in fact he was Jin Yiwei's liaison officer in the Weizang Yamen.

"We have already sent Layang out of Lhasa. The sixth son of Gushi Khan, Dalai Huntai Jidorji, led people to pick him up quietly, and is now heading to Qinghai."

"Will Doerji go to Riyue Mountain to worship saints?" Wang Chao first asked, this Southwest Chieftain, Chongzhenming went to Liaodong to aid Liaodong, and later collapsed to Chongming during the Hongguang Dynasty, and together embraced Yiyang Wang Jianguo, and Chen Wu When he went south, Huang Binqing from Zhoushan made a move, 8000 troops were captured, and he almost died. After that, he was forced to join Zhu Yihai alone.

In the Shaotian Dynasty, he sat on the bench for several years before finally being recognized. He slowly started leading troops and made some contributions. Now he sits in Weizang and is a third-rank military officer, but he only has [-] soldiers under his command.

He still wants to do something, so that he has the opportunity to make new achievements.

"Dalai Huntaiji, Gushi Khan has always been loved, and he is indeed brave and decisive, but who made him only the sixth child. If he is the boss, he must inherit the position of Khan." Doerji said Ability, and to be liked by my father, so I look down on my eldest brother.

Moreover, the mothers of the two brothers are different. The mother of the eldest, Dayan, is the daughter of the chieftain of Turghut, while the mother of the sixth son, Dorji, is the third Hatun, the daughter of the chieftain of Junggar.

Of course, if you are ambitious and capable, you still need someone to support you. Daming has been in secret contact with Dolji, and has made many promises to him in private. Dorji became Qinghai Khan.

Of course, if Dolji wants to become Qinghai Khan, he has to do his own work, and Daming will support him, but he has to prove that he has the ability and qualifications.

After Gushi Khan occupied Qingkang and Weizang, the distribution of the various parts of the Khanate was that the agricultural areas of the entire U-Tsang area, Duo'an and Kham areas were directly under the jurisdiction of the local government of Ganden Pozhang, and the remaining pastoral areas and the vast area around Qinghai Lake were King Heshuote Khan's private jurisdiction, Gushi Khan appointed personnel to exercise sovereignty over the surrounding areas of Qinghai Lake and the central Kham area.

Gushi Khan also reached an agreement with Dibasuonan Raodanhe V to send Sun Zihandu to stay in Mangkang, Gongjue and other places to take charge of Kham affairs.

The lamas of the monasteries are supported with taxes from Weizang, while the taxes from Kham are used to support the tribes of Heshuote in Qinghai. Zongben and Diba are appointed to manage local government affairs and taxes.

The pastoral areas are all under the direct jurisdiction of the Khan and handed over to his sons and grandchildren. Now when he dies, the property is given to the sixth son. Qinghai, Kham, Kashgar and other places are also divided by his sons and grandchildren. In fact, although they all obey the new Khan, But it is obvious that Xin Khan is far less powerful than Gush Khan.

At this time, the sixth child has the secret support of the imperial court. As long as he dares to stand up and rule Qinghai independently, he still has a chance.

Of course, there are risks involved, but Da Ming doesn’t care about these things. When Da Ming planned these things, he was trying to stir up troubles. And the emerging Heshuote Khanate in Qilian Mountains collapsed.

A powerful Heshuote, connected to Khamba, Qinghai, Weizang, and Ali Nanjiang, is by no means a good vassal. If you sit back and watch, sooner or later there will be troubles, and you must act first.

This is a geopolitical and military consideration.

In fact, Daming has not only been instigating secretly with the sixth son Dorji, but also has been in secret contact with Handu who is stationed in Kham.

Han Du is a favorite grandson of Gush Khan, and he is also very capable. He is the son of Yilduqi, the fifth son of Gush Khan. Erkang conquered the six hills of Dokang, and was later appointed as the general manager of Kham by Gushi Khan.

After Gushri Khan entered Lhasa and established the Ganden Pozhang regime, he continued to send troops to support Sun Zihandu’s conquest in Kham. Kham was originally the boundary of the chieftains. From Yuan to Ming, their status as hereditary chieftains was basically recognized. , There are many feudal clans, and there are countless large and small chieftains.

When Dayan Khan rejuvenated, he sent troops to Qinghai and Kham to conquer this area, but the chieftain only paid tribute to Dayan Khan and still ruled the area. Before Gushi Khan entered Tibet, the largest chieftain in Kham was called King Baili , He openly sent troops to intercept, defeated and killed.

Today, with the support of Gushri Khan and the acquiescence of the Ming Dynasty in the early years, Handu has basically conquered the entire Kham area, big and small, and he is stationed in Dajianlu (Kangding, Ganzi).

The Changhexi, Yutong, Ningyuan and other military and civilian Xuanweisi in the Dajianlu area are the transportation hubs for entering and leaving Tibet. Whether you enter or leave Tibet from Lizhou Road or Yazhou Road, you have to pass through Dajianlu.

And the resource-rich area in Kham is also Dajianlu, where trade has brought a steady stream of wealth, and it is closely related to Tibet, so it is a strategic location.

In the early stage of Zhu Yihai, the main goal was to focus on the Northern Expedition to the Manchus and regain the Central Plains. Therefore, for the west, he still focused on Jimi, and he did not interfere with Gushi Khan and Handu. He even vigorously developed border trade and exchanged needs. , in order to restore the accumulated strength of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army.

It is in this situation that Dajianlu is developing very prosperously. It is not too far away from Chengdu. Yunnan and Sichuan are connected with Tibet through here. It has become a major trade city in the southwest. They are all very strong.

This kid is also quite ambitious. Daming has freed up his hands in the past few years and started to move around. After a little incitement, this guy began to plan for self-reliance. In order to be able to stand on his own, he even openly cooperated with the Red Sect in secret. The Red Sect is also called Ning. Mapai, also known as the Red Hat School, is one of the five major sects in Qinghai-Tibet.

The great monk Pak Muwa of the Nyingma sect was in exile in the Chuankang area, and Jin Yiwei secretly matched the great monk with Handu, and the purpose of doing so was to wait for the death of Gushi Khan and split the Heshuote Khanate , the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty is to control the Heshuote Khanate, and even to completely take back the area east of the Jinsha River, especially the strategically important Dajianlu.

Everyone has a position.

The ass decides the head.

Depending on where you sit, you will consider any issues. Different positions have different angles of thinking.

Daming has been secretly planning for many years, fully standing on the perspective of Dorji, Dayan, and Handu, thinking about them, and supporting them to establish their own khanate.

"Bashbatur didn't hand it over to Dolzi, did he?"

"That's definitely not the case. Jin Yiwei will send him directly to Riyue Mountain to meet the saint."

Although Bashbatur was young, he was only the concubine of a maidservant girl, but Daming had already made a life plan for him. In the plan, he would be sent to the emperor for a few years to train him, and when the time was right, he would be sent to Yu Go to the other side of Heshuote, cut off Ali, Khotan and other places in the west of Heshuote to set up a new khanate, and hand it over to him to rule.

Of course, this will be the khanate supported by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will take the opportunity to garrison there, and even include the Ladakh kingdom of the subject Heshuote into the suzerain-vassal system.

In general, Bashbatur is still very valuable and a rare commodity to live in. Jin Yiwei will never hand him over to Dolji.Giving Layang to Dorji was just to let him grasp Dayan's handle. Dayan had an affair with his concubine, and the concubine poisoned Gushi Khan. With Layang in his hand, Dayan couldn't clean up a thousand mouths Suspected of killing his father, it will be smoother for Dorji to stand on his own in Qinghai.

Wang Chaoxian couldn't help sighing, he was really not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about it.

The hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty do not send troops directly, but engage in such methods. Can He Shuote resist?
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he looked forward to the early chaos of Heshuote, so that he, General Weizang, would be useful.

Back then, I searched for the Marquis for thousands of miles, and guarded Liangzhou with a single horse!
