Chapter 864 The Emperor's Three Swords
Standing on the Gyantse Castle, Qian Jinzhong felt the strong smell of blood wafting in the night wind, and looked at the chaotic scene below, calm on the surface, but extremely agitated inside.

Dayan Khan was standing next to him, and he had been standing there watching coldly.

"The sage must trust me, and never be deceived by the traitor Dalai. He was the one who murdered my father Khan. I am innocent. I am loyal to the sage, and the sun and the moon can learn from it."

Qian Jinzhong's identity is Jinyiwei Qianhu, which is not considered low in terms of rank. As a special department, even Dayan Khan has heard of the name of Jinyiwei. Now he has canceled the duties of guards and guards of honor and focuses on intelligence and reconnaissance. Jinyiwei, who is a block, is more professional because of his focus.

"After receiving King Khan's complaint, the saint also felt that the words were sincere, especially some of the evidence listed in it was also very strong, so he decided to re-investigate the case comprehensively to prevent unjust, false and wrong cases.

A certain came here with an order, not only to convey the imperial order, but also not only to listen to what you have to say, but also to see more sufficient and stronger evidence, otherwise what you say is useless.As long as Khan can produce real evidence to prove that Dalai is the murderer behind the scenes, then the sage will certainly uphold justice for King Khan. "

This made Dayan Khan very excited.

Although he felt that the main reason for recruiting Daming Jinyiwei must be the reason why he promised Daming to donate Qiemo, Khotan, Hotan, and Yaerqiang. These cities in Huijiang definitely have weight.

"I will definitely find out the evidence as soon as possible, and then hand it over to the angel." Dayan Khan finally felt a glimmer of light ahead.

Looking at the men and horses still fighting in disorder below, Dayan Khan's resentment towards Emperor Da Tian was relieved, and he hated the fifth generation even more.

The fifth emperor actually wanted to murder him, and then welcome the sixth Dalai to Lhasa, which is really not a thing.

"Father Khan, Suonan Raodan has shouted in the city again. I have seen it, and it is indeed him."

"No." Dayan refused.

Pengsu Knuoyan looked at the young man, and then looked at his father, "Father Khan, Sonam Raodan said that the Sakya and Nyingma monks suddenly made trouble and attacked the barracks. Now the camp is in chaos, and I beg Father Khan to lead the army." Come down to quell the rebellion."

"Let's talk at dawn." Dayan still ignored it.

Peng Suke was a little anxious, very puzzled.

Now that Ka Yan has received the emperor's promise conveyed by the envoy of Daming, he is full of longing for Daming, and even more resentful towards the fifth generation.

He didn't believe in Sonam Raodan at all.

Even if the monks and soldiers of Sakya and Nyingma really made trouble, he would be happy to watch them dog-eat-dog, and wait until they finish biting. Anyway, they can't urinate in a pot, so with the help of Sakya Nyingma, cut them a few times before talking.

"But in case the Jishepa rebels turn back, how will we resist? Moreover, Dalai is also preparing to come from Qinghai..."

"Needless to say, I have my own measure!"

Qian Jinzhong said to Dayan, "During the investigation, the matter has not come to fruition. We hope that all parties will restrain themselves for the time being. If King Khan can trust me, I am willing to pass a message to Ji Xuepa on behalf of King Khan to facilitate your cooperation." Temporary truce."

Dayan Khan is happy to temporarily cease fighting.

The current situation is the most unfavorable for him, he is besieged on all sides, and urgently needs time to buffer.

"Then please!" Dayan Khan bowed his head to Qian Jinzhong.

······
A night of confusion passed.

The camp under Gyantse Fort is already in a mess, with countless casualties and mourning.

The coalition army of more than [-] people was in disarray. Sonan Raodan and a group of cronies squatted not far from the castle and endured a hard night.

And more Ganden Phodrang soldiers, monk soldiers of the three major monasteries, and noble soldiers had dispersed, and the Sakya and Nyingma monk soldiers who had launched a surprise attack last night also retreated before dawn.

Only a mess was left, and Suonan Raodan wanted to cry but had no tears.

To make matters worse, at dawn, Ji Shepa's rebel army who had been fleeing before, came here after smelling the smell, and the first to appear were [-] cavalry.

This is the soldiers and horses of the Ji Xuepa family. They retreated to Qinghai when they were defeated, and they have been operating there for 20 years. , but the new generation of Ji Xuepa's family members couldn't bear that tone after all.

Jishepa Yesish Norbu rode a war horse, standing on the bank of the Chu River, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at Gyantse Fort and the camp outside the city.

"Sure enough, as the angel said, there was a big internal strife here last night."

Jin Yiwei's Qianhu He Yongji rode his horse and stood next to him, "The sage also knows that the Jishepa family is a famous family in U-Tsang for thousands of years. Your family's ancestor was a minister from the time of Tubo Songtsan Gampo. Your Jishepa family is a You are the mainstay of U-Tsang, and the peace of U-Tsang needs you famous nobles."

Ji Xueba Yesish Norbu is very old, with gray hair and a face as dry as old bark. He is the old patriarch of the Ji Xue family and the youngest brother of Ji Xue Hutuktu, Ji Xue Dibaqu Jie and Jixue Suolangjie are both his elder brothers.

He followed his elder brothers to witness the prosperity of the Jixue family, the decline of the Jixue family, and the present complexity. This is a warrior.

Gushri Khan and the Fifth King broke their promises and even robbed them, and they want to take it back.

"We still hope that you can have a good talk with Dayan Khan. If Jishe Diba is willing, we are willing to work in the middle and invite the fourth master of the Tashilhunpo Monastery in Houzang to be the peacemaker. He is Erdeni, who was appointed by the saint, is over 80 years old and has high morals, and his words have weight."

Ji Shepa Yeshe Norbu was still looking at the castle and camp in front of him. Overnight, the Ganden Phodrang coalition army with tens of thousands of people was defeated in this way, leaving only a few thousand people in the castle and Shuote.

And a few days ago, they were defeated several times by this coalition force, and were forced to give up even an important town like Gyangze Fort.

The Jin Yiwei in front of him didn't hide this sudden change from him, and explained the reason directly.

Dayan Khan complained to the emperor, saying that Gush Khan did not kill him but Dalai murdered him and then imprisoned him, and provided a lot of strong evidence.

Now the emperor wants to fully investigate the case. In order to ensure fairness and justice, he hopes that Qinghai-Tibet will not fight during the investigation period, and wait for the results to come out.

Sakya Nyingma's betrayal, the envoy said it was a grievance between their sects. Of course, Ji Shepa was not a young man, so he couldn't understand what he was saying. It was obviously planned by Daming.

He didn't know the specific reason for a while, but it must have a deep meaning.

"The most important thing is to see what Dayan Khan means. We just want to get back what belongs to us. He wants to lead troops to attack us." Jiba Diba said bluntly.

He Yongji took out the truce conditions he had prepared long ago.

"With the Nimu Grand Canyon as the boundary, Dayan Khan temporarily manages Houzang and is stationed in Shigatse Castle. The monks and religious affairs are presided over by the fourth guru of Houzang, and secular government and civil affairs are led by Dayan Khan.

Jixue Diba, you moved to Qianzang, and the land and manor of the Jixue family in the past are still returned to you. At the same time, you will take over the post of Ganden Phodrang Diba, and you will temporarily take charge of the civil affairs, military affairs, taxation, etc. of Qianzang. , while the affairs of the monks and religions were presided over by the fifth emperor of the former Tibet. "

"Using the Nimu Grand Canyon as the boundary, hide the well water in the front and back so as not to interfere with the river water, truce and armistice, and do not invade each other. We will wait for the investigation results of the imperial court to come out, how about it?"

This plan came directly from the imperial court.

A very sophisticated scheme.

Originally, after Gushi Khan entered Tibet, he divided the Heshuote Khanate into two, and the U-Tsang area implemented the Diba system, which means that local nobles and monks were appointed as local officials such as Zongben. At the same time, the local Diba The great nobles and monastery monk groups also manage many manors and populations, and have the power of self-government.

He actually intended to strengthen the centralization of the Khan court, but it touched the interests of other sects other than the Yellow Sect and many nobles.

But now Zhu Yihai took advantage of the death of Gushi Khan to directly support Dalai Batur as the new Khan at the beginning, and deposed Dayan Khan to support Qinghai Khan.

Not long after that, Dayan Khan now used the memorial to defend himself, saying that the case was suspicious and that the case should be re-investigated. Based on this, all parties should cease fighting.

Not only Qinghai Khan Dalai Batur and Tenzin Dayan Khan had to cease their military service first, but Ji Xueba and other nobles who rebelled in Weizang also had to cease fighting with Dayan Khan.

This approach is actually very bad.

The water was first stirred up very muddy. Once Gushi Khan died, within a short period of time, the Heshuote Khanate split into the Qinghai Khanate of Qinghai, the Kham Khanate of Kham, and the Heshuo Khanate of Tibet. Shuote Khanate, and even the chief executives of the Western Regions were neutral, but the old five in Jishishan did not listen.

Now, in the name of investigation, Jishepa is going to divide the former Tibet and Dayan Khan to only rule the latter, and even further let the fifth and fourth emperors share the educational affairs of the front and rear Tibet.

Although the de facto leader of the Gelug Sect has been the fourth generation for more than 20 years, this elderly monk is relatively stable and has little desire for power. U-Tsang and even the power in Anduokang District are concentrated in Bugong.

The nominal dean of the Gelug Sect is the abbot of the Ganden Monastery, also called Ganden Tripa, because Ganden Monastery is the ancestral temple of the Gelug Sect, and Ganden Tripa is also the Dharma King of the Gelug Sect. The reputation of the successor of the throne, but in fact Ganden Monastery ranks last among the three major monasteries of the Yellow Sect. The largest is Drepung Monastery, then Sera Monastery, and finally Ganden Monastery.

Dalai has always served concurrently as the presiding officer of Drepung and Sera Monastery, and the permanent term remains unchanged. However, the presiding officer of Ganden Monastery is elected and appointed, and must be approved by Dalai. The term of office is only once every three years.

Its status is far lower than that of the fifth lineage, and even the Bandan lineage in Houzang is far behind in strength. The Gelug Sect has 3 monks, the Dalai lineage has more than [-] monks, and the Bandan lineage has only [-].

Although it is said that the Dalai is in charge of the front Tibet and the Bandan is in charge of the back Tibet, even in the Houzang area, the monks of the Dalai lineage far exceed those of the Ban lineage, and the manors and population of the Dalai lineage far exceed those of the Ban lineage.

The classes include Shigatse where the Tashilhunpo Monastery is located. There are about five large-scale manors equivalent to Dzongs, 68 medium-sized manors and 26 pastures, which are equivalent to about ten Dzongs in total. Nine thousand serfs.

The Daxie has 12 manor-owned serfs.

In Houzang, the Dashi controlled about [-] sects, not counting Qianzang, the base camp, and even Gyantse, an important town, was originally controlled by the Dashi.

The strength gap between the two sides is very large, and the main force of the squad is in the area around Shigatse, the base camp.

The emperor now took the opportunity to separate the front and back Tibet, not only the political division, but even the religious division.

This is to deliberately balance the two leaders of the Yellow Sect, and assign temples, monks, and even manors, serfs, and monk soldiers belonging to the Da line in Houzang to the class management.

The U-Tsang Khan Ting Ganden Phodrang, which Gushri Khan worked so hard to establish, will actually become two local governments in front and back Tibet.

The U-Tsang yamen in the Ming Dynasty acted as a liaison between the front and rear Tibetan forces, and may even be the upper-level leadership organization in the future.

In this plan, there is another hidden plan that has not been mentioned for the time being, that is, after they accept the current conditions and divide the front and back, everyone will ask to garrison the Nimu Grand Canyon or even the Gyangze Fort between Shigatse and Lhasa.

As for when the results of the investigation will come out, it doesn't really matter who is right or wrong between Dalai and Dayan. What Daming needs is a wedge, a chance to change the status quo.

When all arrangements are in place, it will be difficult to change the established situation.

At that time, the Jishepa family will establish a khan court in Lhasa with the support of Ming Dynasty to rule Qianzang.Datin Khan can only continue to command his half of Heshuote in Shigatse, or he can also control the Ali area.

As for Qinghai, it will still be the Qinghai Khanate in Dalai, while Kham and Jishishan will be the Kham Khanate in Handu.

As for the large area of ​​southern Xinjiang obtained by Gushi Khan's western expedition to participate in the extermination of Yarkand, most of it will be accepted by the Ming Dynasty, and Kashgar may be temporarily handed over to the Jailut Khanate.

In the whole plan, Dayan Khan was the most unlucky, but Da Ming gave him a little bit of leeway. This is like a drowning man who will grab a straw when he sees it. If he doesn’t grab the straw that Da Ming handed out, He would drown instantly.

Caught and accepted Daming's conditions, although the loss is huge, at least there is still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?
For Dalai Batur, Daming supported him to become the Khan of Qinghai, but he failed to become the Khan of Heshuote, because he was not in the right position, and his brothers did not support him.

If he dares to make a fuss, let the masters of Handu in Kham check him, and even loosen the chain around Dayanhan's neck a little, then Dalai will be unable to hold his head down.

In fact, Zhu Yihai's strategy was not clever at all. For thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty had always dealt with the grassland nomadic tribes like this old three, but they just couldn't handle this simple old three.

In the final analysis, it was also caused by the imperfect system of the grassland tribes themselves. Regardless of the Central Plains dynasty, sometimes they were often beaten. Today the Huns bully me, tomorrow the Rouran people beat me, and the day after tomorrow people suddenly drink the Mawei River, and then what Khitans, Mongolians Humans and Jurchens one by one endlessly.

But in fact, although the Central Plains Dynasty was often beaten by nomads, thousands of years of accumulation and evolution made the Central Plains Dynasty a unified dynasty and a centralized regime. From the struggle of a hundred schools of thought, until the Qin Dynasty finally ruled the world, then the Han and Tang dynasties opened up the territory, and the Ming Dynasty chased the north. From the Yellow River Basin to the territory of tens of millions of square kilometers, it was all achieved by real efforts.

Countless barbarians in the surrounding areas were eventually conquered. The Central Plains dynasty had its own country and dynasty, but it never perished in the whole world, nor in the Chinese and Han civilizations. Even if they were knocked down, they could stand up again, and they would continue to revive and rise.

But many grassland tribes or barbarians in the Southwest, etc., do not have this kind of ability. They are strong and die suddenly.

In essence, it is the gap in civilization and system.

In fact, there are many heroes in Mongolia, whether it is Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Dayan Khan, Altan Khan, etc., or even Haidu, San Niangzi and other Mongolian female heroes are rare heroes. But after all, it is difficult for three generations to prosper.

The system is not working.

Think about why Tubo suddenly changed from a snow-covered tribe to a powerful plateau empire. The reason is that they took the most important step, centralization.

But in the plateau after Tubo, there has never been such a centralization of power.

Aristocrats, large and small, and various sects make the plateau more complicated. The geographical conditions are not good, and there are only a few good places. The size limits their development. If they cannot get out of the plateau, they will You can only fight in the nest forever, you can only be a rookie, and a few thousand people from Mongolia can beat them to their knees and beg for mercy.

The Mongols are still nomadic migrations. The Mongolian grasslands are vast, and they can even migrate from Liaodong to the Central Asian rivers. They can continue to flow and merge and become stronger. However, the unique terrain of the U-Tibet snowy plateau makes them different from those in Kham Like chieftain, he can only dominate one side in those valleys.

Zhu Yihai took advantage of the death of Gushi Khan, their brothers' scramble for the position of Khan, the dissatisfaction of the Red and White Flower sects against the Yellow Sect, and the dissatisfaction of the local Diba powerful nobles with the centralization of the Heshuote Khan Court, and launched a set of combined punches tailored to suit the individual's needs. .

The balance of power among all parties means weakening the existing Heshuo Te Khanting Ganden Phodrang and the Gelug Sect, and then the balance between the two largest factions of the Gelug Sect, the division of front and back Tibet, is also a further weakening of the head of the Gelug Sect The strength of the Daxie weakened the strength of the Gelug faction in a disguised form.

Zhu Yihai even made a plan. In case the fifth emperor does not know the current affairs and insists on fighting against the imperial court, then he can be sent to Qinghai or Kangba to be stationed and presided over, and put him in a place closer to Han , easy to control.

The Qing Dynasty did this in history.

The Ming Dynasty did not need to directly overthrow the original government like Heshuo Tegushi Khan entered Tibet. It could first divide and rule, balance, and then gradually intervene.

As long as Daming can balance left and right and is in a detached position, then it will be able to intervene in a straightforward manner, whether it is garrisoning troops, building post roads, conducting trade, or even emigrating, it will all be a matter of course.

If it doesn't work in 50 years, then it will take 100 years. As long as this plan is implemented, it will definitely change a lot within a hundred years.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Yunnan and Guizhou were all barbarian lands. Yunnan and Guizhou were all barbarian lands, such as Yunnan, which was independent of the Nanzhao Dali and other lands that had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years since the Tang Dynasty. Guizhou was also full of barbarian chieftains, and there was nothing real actual control.

The Ming Dynasty directly sent troops to expedition to Yunnan. After destroying the power of the Yuan Dynasty there, a post road was built through Guizhou to Yunnan, and then a guard was established, troops were stationed and emigrated, and a line passed through. The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou were completely transformed into two provinces of Han.

Yunnan-Guizhou, that is definitely the achievement of Ming Dynasty. Although Burma and Jiaozhi failed in this way, at least they still opened up and stabilized the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The conditions in front of Jishediba were too tempting.

As long as he agrees, Jishe Diba will not only take back the original Jishe area, but will become the king of the secular regime in former Tibet.

Back then when the Jishepa family was the most powerful, they only occupied part of the northwest part of Lhasa, but now Daming wants them to control the entire Qianzang.

The aged Jishediba couldn't bear the temptation, his body trembled slightly.

"Jishepa's family will always be loyal to Daming, and to the Holy Khan Emperor Shaotian. We will obey the will of the saint!"

He made a choice, followed his heart, and also based on reality.
