Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 862

Hidden.

On the bank of the rushing Chu River, amidst the rich colors, a ocher-yellow stone mountain stands upright abruptly.

On the stone hill stands a castle with white walls and red roof, which is particularly prominent and eye-catching.

Dayan Khan was standing at the foot of the city at this time, his cotton armor was torn and stained with blood, he was extremely exhausted, but he was vigorous, he had just won a big victory.

Under his leadership, the coalition forces of Heshuote cavalry and Ganden Phodrang defeated the rebel coalition forces of the local secular nobles headed by the Jishepa family in the Nyemo Grand Canyon, and went all the way to Gyantse Fort.

At this time, Jishe Diba didn't even defend the majestic and strong Gyangze Fort, and the wealth and people who swept the Gyangze Fort fled in panic.

Another victory.

The Heshuot cavalry were shouting victory, and the monks of Ganden Phodrang were also cheering with their spears.

"Chop off the heads of those damned rebels, build a Beijing temple, make it look better, and stand here forever, to deter those rebels!" Dayan Khan kept simmering a fire in his heart, raging fire.

There is not only the shame and anger after his adultery with his concubine was exposed, but also the anger after his brother Dalai betrayed him, and there is also a bit of grievance that Layang actually fabricated out of nothing that he ordered her to poison her father.

Although he was often taught by his father that he was not as clever as Lao Liu in doing things, Ka Yan respected his father Gushi Khan very much, and his relationship with Layang was purely a drunken mess, and Layang was just a lowly slave by his father's side. This kind of thing is actually not a big deal.

Not to mention the customs here, there are some traditions of nobles entertaining guests with slaves and maids here, and there are even many tribes here that have customs such as one woman marrying several husbands, and brothers marrying one wife.

How could his father want to deprive him of his position as heir just because of this matter? Even if his father really did this, he would not poison his father.

All of this must have been manipulated by the damn Dalai. He ordered Layang to kill his father with poison and then blamed himself, and even robbed himself of his Khan position.

His chest was full of hostility.

A group of Heshuo special cavalry escorted a long row of captives. These were Ji Shepa and other members of the Diba family. They were defeated, as dejected as dogs that had just been castrated.

Looking at them, Dayan Khan showed no mercy, he just wanted to vent now.

"Cut them all, leave no one behind, damned traitor!"

Ganden Phodrangdi Pasonam Raodan came from a distance, "Since these people have already surrendered, why kill them again, besides, many of them were forcibly recruited by Jishepa and other families, and they are all innocent .”

"Innocent?" Dayan Khan spat in disdain, "No, none of them are innocent, and none of the stones they shot from their bows and arrows were innocent. Since the dispatch of troops, how many Heshuo warriors under my command have died in battle , Are those lives innocent?"

"Kill and leave none."

Suonan Rao Dan tried hard to persuade him, but Da Yanhan didn't give him any face.

Finally Sonam Raodan left with an ugly face.

Dayan Khan looked at his back and spit at him. This time, he organized more than 1 troops to quell the chaos. Heshuo Te Dangxiong dispatched 5000 cavalry troops, and Sonam Raodan also dispatched Orders were sent from various places to send troops, and the three major monasteries of the Yellow Sect, including Drepung Monastery, also sent monks and soldiers. They gathered about [-] people.

Sonam Raodan was the prime minister appointed by the Khan Court, and he was his courtier, but the more than 1 sect soldiers and monk soldiers only obeyed Sonam Raodan’s orders, especially during the Battle of the Nimu Grand Canyon and the just-concluded Gyantse In the battle of the battle, Sonam Raodan was obviously suspected of not working hard. He personally led the Heshuot cavalry to charge repeatedly. Sonam Raodan's soldiers should have followed, but they were delayed.

Even if he came up in the end, he fought very weakly, which caused Dayan to be in danger and even injured in several places. If he hadn't been brave and fierce, the Heshuo cavalry under his command were also very elite and brave to fight, and he will be here today.

When his father was around, he regarded Sonam Raodan very highly, but Dayan Khan could not tolerate his attitude towards himself.

I am sweating profusely.

Especially now that the sixth child is fighting with him for sweating, he can't tolerate Suonan Raodan's behavior.

He had already made a firm note in his heart that when the rebellion of Ji Shepa's family and others were put down this time, he would be replaced when he returned to Lhasa.

"The Heshuo special cavalry followed me up the mountain to garrison the fort, and Sonam Rao Dandiba led the rest of the troops to garrison at the foot of the mountain." Dayan Khan issued an order.

Gyantse, in Tibetan, means the peak of victory, the top of the King's Mansion.

Because the Chu River flows through here, Tibetans also used to call this area of ​​Gyantse Nian.

Dayan Khan rode into the fort on the mountain. He hated U-Tsang a little bit, and he didn't like the monasteries and mountains everywhere.He still prefers the prairie in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Bayinbulak prairie in the Yuledus River area in the upper reaches of Yanqi. It is so beautiful.

There are also Yili Grassland and Altay Grassland.

The castle in front of him that he doesn't like at all, and even finds it abrupt, is called Gyantse Zongshan Ancient Castle.

This small mountain is called Zongshan. U-Tsang is divided into thirteen major sects, each of which is equivalent to a county, and each sect builds a castle-style building on the hill where the sect’s residence is located. This mountain is also called the sect. Mountain.

The palace on the Zongshan Mountain combines the functions of a temple and a local government. The castle is a palace-style temple, just like the Bu Palace in Lhasa.

Gyantse is a basin in Houzang, where the Chu River flows, and agriculture is very developed. Gyantse is also one of the thirteen major sects, because not far to the northeast is the Nimu Grand Canyon.

The Nyimu Grand Canyon is the junction of front and back Tibet, and it is also the only way to pass, and it is also very dangerous. Therefore, the status of Gyantse Dzong and Gyantse Fort in front and back Tibet is very special, especially in terms of military affairs.Although it is not the same as Yanmen Pass and Tongguan, it is similar to Taiyuan after Yanmen Pass and Chang'an after Tongguan.

This castle has been built for hundreds of years, earlier than Shigatse Dzong Castle. Because it is located on the road from Sakya, Houzang via Yadong to Sikkim and Bhutan, and the land is fertile and rich, it has always been a transportation hub for business travelers. Dao is the third largest town in U-Tsang after Lhasa and Shigatse.

Five hundred miles away from Lhasa.

The red wall of Zongshan Castle extends from the mountain peak to the back of the temple, and there are reinforcements along the wall, but the Jishepa coalition forces did not choose to defend the mountain castle. They ambushed and intercepted them in the Nimu Grand Canyon. Defeat to lure the enemy, defeat the enemy, and then take advantage of the victory to fight to Gyantse.

Pretending to fight Shigatse, he forced the Gyantse defenders to go down the mountain to rescue them, and then attacked halfway across the river, chasing them all the way to the city of Gyantse. The leader of the Jisheba family led the defeated army and abandoned the city directly.

Without enough troops, it is impossible to defend an isolated city.

The Dzong Castle was empty, but the Heshuot cavalry still looted everywhere.

"Father Khan!"

The eldest son of Dayan Khan, Peng Suke, came with a group of Taiji.

After several battles in a row, everyone was somewhat exhausted, but they didn't dare to rest at this time. Everyone was worried about one thing, where would they go?
Especially now that the Emperor of Heaven has issued an order to Lasa, announcing that he will be deprived of his Khan position and asked him to go to Beijing to plead guilty.Dalai was named Qinghai Khan, Handu called himself Saiyin Khan in Kham, and the fifth child did not listen to orders in Jishi Mountain.

Even the chief managers of Ali, Kashgar, and Khotan did not obey the orders of his uncle, King Khan.

The people betrayed their relatives.

Now even Ganden Phodrang Sonam Raodan and those monks and soldiers are obviously half-hearted, so how can we fight this battle.

Peng Suke was as tall and mighty as his father, and he was already a warrior at a young age. He stood in front of his father and couldn't speak.

But Dayan already knew what he wanted to say, and even what those Taijis wanted to hear.

"I repeat, I did not have any affair with the old ten's mother Layang, let alone instructed her to murder the Great Khan,"

"Think about it carefully, why was Da Khan poisoned and killed as soon as I left, but Layang was immediately taken to Qinghai by the sixth child?"

"All this is just that the sixth child wants to seize the position of Khan, and he killed his father and king, blaming me. Now that the tenth is gone, I believe that the sixth must have controlled the tenth, so as to threaten Layang to do something. Murder the Great Khan, and then blame the emperor on me."

There is some truth to this explanation.

But it can't change the grim reality now. In fact, the hearts of these four thousand Heshuo special cavalry have been somewhat unstable.

No matter what the truth is, Tenzin Dayan Khan is in a bad situation now. It can be said that everyone has betrayed his relatives. He has a relationship with Diba in Tibet. Even the Son of Heaven directly decreed to dismiss him.

How can one person fight against the whole world?
"I have already sent someone to ask Oziltu for help. He is my cousin and the leader of Oirat. I don't believe there is no reason in this world."

"Will Chechen Khan help us?" Punk Suk wondered, after all, the emperor did not stand on their side.

"As long as there are enough interests, he will help."

In order to restore the decline, Dayan Khan exhausted all means. He sent someone to Ili to find his cousin Oziertu, the king of Rut Khan, and asked him to send troops to quell the chaos. The Kashgar assigned to Yarkand was given to him.

Kashgar includes the surrounding area, which is a big piece of fat. Last time, Lute was divided into Kuqa, Baicheng, Aksu, Wushi and other places south of the Tianshan Mountains. Kashgar is a bigger piece of fat next to it. .

With such a large area handed over, can Oziltu not be tempted?

Anyway, none of the nephews who are in charge of Tianshan South now listen to his orders. He doesn't feel bad if he sells the country that Lao Tzu has conquered, so he will save himself first.

He even sent people to appeal to Jin Shengtan and Qinghai in order to make Emperor Ming support him, and he was even more willing to cede Qiemo, Khotan, Hotan, and Yarkand to Daming.

All the land won by the Western Expedition is gone.

As long as Ali of Qinghai Weizang Kham District can be retained, it is enough.

Zhong Taiji had some hope in his heart, but he still had no confidence.

Each went to rest.

At night, there was a sudden commotion at the foot of the mountain, with flames everywhere, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Dayan Khan was startled, "What happened?"

The incident happened suddenly, and the Heshuote people in the mountain fortress didn't know what happened. The on-duty Pengsu Ke Nuoyan didn't even dare to go down the mountain. He ordered the fort gate to be closed tightly, and the defense should be strengthened. Anyone who came close would be shot.

"It's possible that Ji Shepa's rebels killed the carbine, or it may be due to internal strife between monks and soldiers." Peng Suke reported to his father who came to check.

Dayan Khan stared down the mountain, full of suspicion and suspicion, "It is also possible that Sonam Raodan pretended to be an enemy attack and actually wanted to attack us."

"Father Khan, why is this?"

"Anything is possible." Dayan Khan met a secret visitor before dark and brought a secret message. The fifth king has decided to support Qinghai Khan Dalai according to the emperor's will, and his envoy is rushing to Suonan In Rao Dan's army, there are always changes.

Dayan had to defend himself.

"Keep a close eye on the gate of the castle, and forbid anyone approaching from the bottom of the mountain, but if someone approaches, no matter who it is, just shoot and kill it, and we will talk about it at dawn."

"Father Khan, what if Jishepa's rebels attack the barracks at the foot of the mountain at night?"

"No matter!" Dayan Khan spat out two words.
