Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 203: Building a White Tower to Conquer People’s Hearts (Part )
Zanyabandida was not only a highly accomplished monk, but also a famous scholar who also knew architecture. Under his command, Kundulun Ubas and his three sons: Mamadale Ubas, Ubas Hutaiji, and Okchotbu led the Heshuote soldiers to work day and night to build a ten-story building. The three-story white tower soon stood majestically on the grassland.

The White Pagoda originated from India and was called Stupa. It spread widely with the spread of Buddhism in the East. After the development of the past dynasties, there are now pavilion-style towers, dense-eaves towers, pavilion-style towers, bowl-covered towers, Vajra throne-style towers, Baojiyin-style towers, five-wheel towers, multiple treasure towers, seamless towers, etc. Various forms.

In this era, the pagoda was mainly used to enshrine or collect Buddha relics, statues, Buddhist scriptures, monks' remains, etc. The white pagoda built by Kundulun Ubas is a Fubo-style pagoda, which consists of four parts: the base, the tower body (Fubo), the tower neck (phase wheel), and the Tasha. The base is built in the Xumizuo style, in an octagonal shape, with a lotus and a lion carved on the half-waist. There are steps on top to support the tower body, called the "Vajra Circle"; the tower body is shaped like an inverted bowl with a round belly; the tower neck, The phase wheel stacked into a cone shape has thirteen layers; the pagoda brake is composed of an umbrella cover and a treasure brake, and the pagoda brake is used.

In Buddhism, the pagoda is called "Buddha". As a symbol of Buddha, it accepts worship from all living beings. This white pagoda is amazing, with a stable and elegant shape, like a sitting Buddha. The neck and temple symbolize the head of the Buddha. The huge body of the pagoda contains profound Buddhist connotations. Unlike other white pagodas that enshrine or collect Buddha relics, statues, Buddhist scriptures, monks' remains, etc., the pagoda built by Kundulun Ubashi has the clothes and crowns of Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi stored in its base.

This is to worship the Omubu Daiqing Dadaiji of the Duerbot tribe as a Buddha. If it is only the Kundulun Ubashi, the name is not justified, but with Zanyabandida's With blessing, it becomes justifiable. The Taijis in Dulbert were all excited because their tribes had produced Buddhas like Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi.

After the completion of the White Pagoda, Kundulun Ubas led the Taijis of Heshuote and Dulbert to hold a grand ceremony for Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi. The ceremony was presided over by the great monk Zanyabandida, and it was solemn and sacred.

The impact of this matter is extremely far-reaching!

First of all, through this move, Kundulun Ubashi effectively won the hearts of the Dulbert tribe. The Taijis of the Dulbert tribe gathered around him and obeyed his orders, which greatly increased his power. In fact, although Aldar was hailed as the minister of the Dulbert Department, his prestige was not comparable to that of Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi. Only a small number of Taijis were willing to listen to his orders, and the majority of Taijis, For example, Da'e, Tarhun, Babai, etc. all only obeyed the orders of Kundulun Ubas. Even Aldar himself only followed Kundulun Ubas.

Secondly, He Orlek's reputation was completely ruined among the Oirat tribes. People say that He Orlek is an insatiable wolf who even killed his own nephews for the bride price; while Kundulun Ubashi is a hero with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness who is willing to spend huge sums of money to save Omu Butai who died unjustly. Qing built pagodas and held memorial ceremonies.

Once again, it effectively united the people of the Triangular Alliance, and Orlek's original hope that killing Ombu Daiqing would keep the Dulbert people out of the alliance did not happen. Dulbert's Taijis gathered around Kundulun Ubash, making the Kundulun Ubash-Yangirhan-Dulbert triangle alliance an iron triangle.

He tried his best to kill someone, but not only did he not get any benefits, but his reputation was ruined, and the old guy Kundulun Ubas got a big advantage. How could the all-powerful and Orlek Khan be willing to let it go? Since it is impossible to annex the Kazakh grassland by political means, then let's fight! War, only war can calm the anger in his heart! Team after team of soldiers were transferred to the border area between Torgut's tribe and the Triangular Alliance. He was determined to speak with force.

However, when the army was ready to go, something happened that made him angry: Batur Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe sent an envoy.

This envoy had a high status in the Junggar tribe. He was Sahaletu, the sixth uncle of Batur Hutaiji, and an elder figure of the same period as Orlek.

For him and the powerful Junggar forces behind him, the old Khan must give face and personally go out to greet them.

"Oh, dear Sahar Tutaiji, what kind of fragrant wind brought you here? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right? I miss you so much." He laughed, his smile creasing. "Isn't that right? My Huitaiji has been around for more than ten years in a flash. The scene of fighting the Khalkhas with you is still in front of me. I will always remember your heroic appearance holding a saber and galloping on the battlefield." Sa Harutu sighed.

"Ahem, this is all the old imperial calendar. Come and follow me to the account, old brothers will have a good drink today!" He Orlek laughed and held Sakhaletu's arm.

"I have long heard that the yellow mutton in the Ezil River is delicious and the shochu is the strongest. Today I will definitely get drunk with Anda before we get to rest." Sahartu also stretched out his hand and held Orlek tightly. arm.

The two of them drank together in the tent, and fell in love so deeply that they even sang Oirat pastoral songs.

"What! Batur Hutaiji wants to send troops to attack the Kazakhs, and wants my Torgut troops to send troops to help?"

Upon hearing Sahaletu's explanation of his purpose, He and Orlek seemed calm on the surface, but in their hearts they were filled with anger and rage!

How can you not be angry? The arm is like a wolf eyeing a fat sheep, but a fierce tiger comes and insists on snatching food from the wolf's mouth.

Now there are only two paths before the wolf, no, and Orlek: Either agree, and the tiger may cut off the legs of the lamb after killing the fat sheep; or refuse and fall out with the Junggar people.

The old Khan thought carefully and felt that his strength was not enough compared with the Junggar people; more importantly, he was facing the threat of the Oros people. After killing Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi, he was completely offended. If the Durbots, Kundulun Ubas, and Yangir Khan offend the Dzungars again, they will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and become isolated and helpless.

The wily and Orlek made a decision helplessly in their hearts, but did not reveal it at all, so that they could ask for more benefits from the Junggar people in subsequent negotiations.

"Don't forget that our Junggar tribe and the Heshuote tribe are jointly the leader of the Oirat alliance. Batur Hutaiji has the power to command the Oirat tribes. What, do you want to disobey the order of the alliance leader?" Seeing his delay, Refusing to express his position, Sakhaletu asked anxiously.

"No way, Batur Hutaiji is not only the leader of the Oirat Alliance, but also my good son-in-law. How can I not support it? But you also know that the Oros people are making trouble these days, and there are many difficulties in sending troops. "Yeah," He Orlek said with a smile.
