Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 629 Bury All Invading Enemies (Please Subscribe!)

Since there were no prominent conflicts with the Tibetans, it was more merciful to march into the Ming army this time.

There are no cannon fodder troops in the vassal states and annexed areas, and the military discipline is extremely strict, basically not disturbing the people.

In addition, taking into account the beliefs of Tibetan Buddhism, the Ming army also did not hunt animals and birds, and did not fish.

Different from the usual ruthless cooking, the Ming army gave the Tibetans the treatment of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, those who stubbornly resist will still be destroyed humanely.

The first combat target of the Tibetan Army was Qamdo.

Qamdo faces Sichuan Province in the east, borders Yunnan in the south, and borders Qinghai in the north.

Occupying Qamdo opened the main road leading to the snow-covered plateau. This is an important part of the Ming army's battle plan and cannot be missed.

From the perspective of topography, Qamdo is like a pearl inlaid in the Hengduan Mountains, and the north-south mountains such as Makkang Mountain, Thanyinthaung Mountain and Bashula Ridge are arranged in parallel.

In addition, there are three big rivers, Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, which flow through it.

Therefore, the terrain of Qamdo is rugged, the roads are difficult and dangerous, and the mountains are high and the valleys are deep.

The mountains around Qamdo have an average altitude of about 5000 meters and are covered with snow all the year round, so they are collectively called "Qamdo Snow Ridge".

Absolutely easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Strictly speaking, this land used to belong to Daming.

Because the former Ming Dynasty set up the Duo Gandu Command and Envoy Division here, and appointed tribal chiefs, major leaders and big lamas of temples to manage it.

It's different now, this is the territory of the Heshuote Khanate.

In 1637, under the leadership of Gushi Khan, the Heshuote tribe, one of the four Oirat tribes, moved from the northwest region to Qinghai. After several years of unification of the entire snow-covered plateau, the Heshuote Khanate was finally established.

The Heshuot Khanate was established because of the persecution of the Gelug Sect by the Kagyu Sect of Tibetan Buddhism in the late Ming Dynasty.

The real purpose of Gushri Khan's "protection" was to occupy the long-coveted land of Qinghai.

The Gushri Khan tribe originally developed as nomads in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. Due to frequent suppression by the Jungar tribe, they had to move to the southern foothills.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, "Gushi Khan" succeeded the leader of the Heshuote tribe in Mongolia, and the title came from this.

After Gushi Khan unified Qinghai, it took it for granted that it was the political center and development base at that time.

However, at this time the main religious center and ethnic population of the Heshuote tribe were still far away in the plateau of Lhasa.

Therefore, since 1638, many herdsmen of Gushri Khan moved to the snow-covered plateau with their cattle, horses and livestock.

In this way, the conditions for the establishment of the Khan Court by Gush Khan became more and more mature due to the favorable time, place and people.

In 1640, Gushi Khan sent troops to Xikang and seized power.

In order to preserve the rule over Qinghai and the snow-covered plateau, Gushi Khan entrusted Qinghai to his eight sons, who were called "Qinghai Bataiji" in history.

"Collect taxes from the Kang area to support the people of Qinghai." The ruler of Xikang is the grandson of Gush Khan who controls the government, and Gush Khan sits on the plateau.

In this way, the entire regime of the Heshuote Khanate is firmly in the hands of Gush Khan.

There is a reason why the Heshuote Khan court suddenly attached itself to the Qing court after such a thriving court.

At that time, there were constant wars and conflicts between Luocha and Oirat in the northwest, and Khalkha Mongols and Oirat in the east were also at war for a long time, so Gush Khan had to use the method of long distance and close attack to protect Oirat. Submitting to the protection of the Qing court is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Although the Heshuote Khan court is becoming stronger and stronger, if it wants to compete with the Qing court, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Gushi Khan took the initiative to surrender to the Qing court, which was not only conducive to asking the Qing court to send troops to resist Junggar, but also conducive to internal rule.

In the first half of the seventeenth century, Gushi Khan, with his own power, ended the years of constant disputes in the snow-covered plateau area with strong force, and joined the Yellow Sect to submit to the Qing court.

The endless wars on the snow-covered plateau were quelled, and the people finally lived a stable and peaceful life for several years.

Therefore, the name of the Heshuote Khanate is still the land of the sacred Mongolian Empire of the Qing Dynasty!
And it is also one of the elective khanates of the gods and has the right to vote.

At this time, the Great Khan of the Heshuote Khanate was Dalai Khan, whose Tibetan name was Tenzin Dalai, also known as Redantaiji, Gunchuk, Pengchuk, and Borzigit.

He is a hard-core pro-Qing faction, otherwise he would not have surrendered to Daming yet.

He even felt that Daming would not take a fancy to a barren land like the Snowy Plateau.

However, he still guarded against Daming.

Previously, the Ming army went all the way unimpeded and encountered no resistance, but when they came to Changdu, they found that the Qamdo area was heavily guarded!

Heshuote Khan's idea is that once the Ming army attacks, if they want to keep this three-acre land, they can only seek peace through war and set up heavy guards. Let it go.

The one who guards Qamdo is Lhazanglube, the son of Heshuote Khan.

This person has Li Shimin legacy.

How should I put it, that is, after his father died, Lhazangroube killed his brother and became a Khan himself.

This person's military ability is also good, he has assembled nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Qamdo, trying to resist the great tomorrow's soldiers by virtue of natural dangers!
He made his general Fude Gongbu the chief general of Qamdo.

The name of Fude Gongbu translates to the guardian deity.

So Lhazang Lubei was very confident, and said without shame: "I have General Fude Gongpo, who can kill people!"

His subordinate, Fude Gongbu, is also full of confidence, "It all shows that people are cowardly, how dare they invade my Buddhist holy army, and they will never return!"

Everyone immediately laughed.

Just when they were triumphant, a scout suddenly looked nervous and knelt on the ground and reported loudly: "Lord Taiji, the Ming people have come and captured the pass near Qamdocheng, Saigu Mountain Pass!"

Taiji is the honorific title of the son of the Great Khan.

As soon as these words came out, the camp that was full of laughter stopped abruptly.

Especially Taijilazangroubei, his plateau red face was a little pale.

Because the Saigu Mountain Pass controls the road into Qamdo, although only 1000 people are guarding it, the terrain is extremely favorable for the defenders.

It will be impossible to attack for a while.

The road under the Saigu Mountain Pass is called "Lianyun Road", as if it is connected to the sky. The road is steep and steep, and there is a big slope below it.

I went to see Taijilazangroube in person a few days ago. The defenders of Saigu Mountain Pass have accumulated a large number of rolling stones there. Once they find a place, they just need to roll the stones down.

At that time, the guard at Saigu Mountain Pass also vowed: "If the Ming army comes, let us wait and see. I am confident that I will bury all the invading enemies!"
