Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 288 The thieves are rampant and I am the thorn

"Have you two made up your mind? Are you willing to join us?" Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen smiled and looked at Pileng Lezamusu and Ngawang Ji Kezhak. Suddenly, two monks pulled out their steel sword holders. On their necks.

"Bah! Bald donkey, kill him if you want, no need to say more." Pilenley Zamusu spit on the ground and glared at the great monk.

Ngawang Ji Kezak, however, remained silent.

"Ngawang Ji Kezak, please don't forget that the Renbengba family's wealth was bestowed by His Majesty. If you dare to betray, your family will be exterminated," Pileng Lezamusu yelled.

Hearing this, Ngawangjikzak blushed and refused with difficulty.

"I don't know how to show respect, Master, please use these two heads as a sacrifice to the flag," Dorje Lepa was furious.

"How can I kill indiscriminately because I am a merciful Buddha?" Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen changed his expression to a compassionate one and said with compassion. Compassion is one thing, but more importantly, these two people are high officials and excellent hostages, useful in your hands!

It didn't matter that they refused to surrender. The old monk was more concerned about the news from other surrounding factions.

There are good and bad.

The monk soldiers of Sakya Temple were fully armed, but Gelulu's envoy did not see the face of the great monk of Tianjin. The monk Zhike told the envoy, "The leader of the religion has wandered away and is only in the human world. There are so many people that he doesn't know where to go." In order to avoid disaster, Sangye Gyatso of the Dharma Platform of Juemonang Monastery actually drove the envoy out. This means that the Sakya and Juenang factions are unwilling to wade into this muddy water, and it also means that changes may occur at any time in the west and southwest of Shigatse.

Shalu Temple in the Shalu area south of Shigatse raised troops to respond and captured Shalu City. The Xialu sect was just a small sect, closely related to the Sakya sect. This time, in order to gain power and wealth, they did not listen to the advice of the great monk of Tianjin and joined the Gelug camp.

Although the Xialu Sect joined, their influence was limited. The divine monk Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen is concerned about the news of another great sect, Kagyu. He has a secret agreement with the Karma Kagyu Black Hat Sect and the Drukpa Kagyu. He has already launched it, and the rest is up to his allies.

Karma Kagyu black hat sect Fatai Yixi Dorje is a person who values ​​friendship and trustworthiness. He sent his disciple Enzhucang to escort the next four-year-old Jiangqu Dorje to the Fuguo Temple in Mufu, Lijiang, Yunnan. He no longer had any worries and resolutely launched an army.

Master, my disciple, like you, cannot defeat the "love" and "righteousness" in the world. I will never become a Buddha until the demon Sultana is killed to avenge you!
As the state religion during the Zangba Khan period, the Karma Kagyu had great influence in the Shigatse and Zoba areas. Although it later weakened with the deaths of Zangba Khan and Quyin Dorje, the centipede insect did not die and quickly gathered 8,000 rebels, captured Zuoba County, beheaded the county magistrate, and responded to Luosang's Ji Gyaltsen.

This means that strong enemies appeared in the west and northwest of Lhasa at the same time. Fortunately, the other red hat sect of Karma Kagyu did not respond. The Red Hat Fatai Gangbo Monastery's Chozhu Jiadun relied on the support of Emperor Qianyuan to become the Fatai and David Imperial Preceptor of this sect, so naturally he refused to rebel; their ancestral temple, Yangbajing Temple, is located in Damxion, just around the corner. How could the Mongols dare to rebel in their pastureland in Lhasa?
Yixi Dorje's rise of troops gave Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen great encouragement. While he was recruiting troops in Shigatse, he also asked Yixi Duoji to join forces to attack Lhasa. The momentum is huge and has the potential to flatten the snow-covered plateau.
Gyantse City, where the Yangsi Duowan House was built during the Yuan Dynasty. Batu Mengke, the commander-in-chief of Uzbekistan, led 6,000 troops to garrison here. At this time, only Ladakh, Shannan, and Yangsiduo still had troops stationed in Uszang Province. The Ladakh garrison had to guard against India, and the troops in Shannan had to guard against Bhutan. Only these troops could be transferred to Shigatse to quell the rebellion, so Dash and Sakyamuni Gyatso fled here.

After listening to the two of them introducing the situation in Shigatse, Batu Mengke's face was heavy and he said, "The thieves are so powerful that it will be difficult to defeat them!"

"Is the main town afraid? I have received great favor from His Majesty, and we are on guard. The thieves are so rampant, can we do nothing?" Dash shouted.

"What does Futai mean?"

"After the Gelug rebels capture Shigatse, they will definitely want to cross the Brahmaputra River north and join forces with the Kagyu rebels to attack Lhasa. If the two rebels join forces, the pressure on Lhasa will be great. I intend to attack Shalu and threaten Shigatse. This will prevent the Gelug rebels from crossing the Yarlung Zangbo River north and contain this enemy force."

"Futai's plan is very good!" Batu Mengke readily agreed and led his troops to kill Shalu. The Sharp faction stationed in Shalu asked for help from Shigatse. Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen was shocked when he heard the news. As expected, he did not dare to cross the Brahmaputra River north to join Yixi Dorje. Instead, he led his troops to Shalu to fight against Batu Mengke.

As the two armies were confronting each other, another bolt from the blue came: Shannan was in chaos! It turns out that Ngawang Namgyal, the four-legged dragon of Drukpa Kagyu in Bhutan, Master Bawo of Lodhar, Pasang Wangpo of Fatai of Tsetang Monastery, and the Hall family of Qiongjie in Shannan had an agreement with Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen. There is a secret agreement to send troops together. In order to avenge Sultan's treachery, Ngawang Namgyal ordered General Rumeseppo to lead 9,000 Bhutanese troops to attack Shengge Dzong. Monk Bawo of Luozha took the opportunity to respond and joined forces with Rumei Saipo to establish Shengge Zong; Hor Dubu of Qiongjie in Shannan also joined forces with his son Basang Wangbu of Zedang Monastery to establish Qiongjie.

"Futai, our only plan now is to nail Gyantse like a nail to prevent Shannan from joining Shigatse, and at the same time prevent Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen from crossing north," Batu Mengke said to Dash.

"What a magnificent nail! It will definitely go down in history!" Dash and Sakyamuni Gyatso praised in unison.

Luck is a magical thing. Just when Dash, Batu Mengke, and Sakyamuni Gyatso were preparing to fight alone and defend Gyantse, Changshengtian sent him another supporting army. Podong sent the goddess Duoji Pam of Fatai of Sangding Temple to bid farewell to Emperor Qianyuan and returned to Langkazi. She saw that Shigatse, Shalu, and Zuoba were all in rebellion, and Shannan was also in conflict. The goddess could not sit still and asked Podong Send believers to issue oracles, asking them to support the court against the rebels. She cooperated with the officials of Lingsi Ben Village and Langka Zizong to recruit 5,000 rebels to guard these two places, becoming Yang Siduo's strong backing.

Leaders Benzhai, Langkazi, and Yangsi were mostly arranged in a pin-shaped formation, which caused a headache for the rebels. Monk Bawo of Luozha ordered General Kelsang Tuden to lead three thousand troops to attack Langkazi, but he was defeated and killed by Tendoji, the general of God Dorje Pam. Then, the rebel army of God Dorje Pam led the army again. Sibenzhai defeated the two thousand elite soldiers sent by Hor Dubu from Qiongjie in Shannan to attack Gyantse; the monk Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen ordered the army sent by Sharp to attack Gyantse. After being unable to capture it for a long time, he had no choice but to order Dorje Leba to lead 7,000 soldiers. The Gelug army assisted in the battle. Unexpectedly, the city of Gyantse was small and strong, and it was impossible to defeat it.

Without removing the nail in Gyantse, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen would not dare to go north to join forces with Ixi Dorje. The two sides reached a stalemate, and stalemates are often detrimental to rebellions.
