Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 380 Peace comes to Altai (Part )
"Amitabha, the great Khan is so pious, and the young monk admires him." Monk Wei Zheng glanced at the Buddhist scriptures on the gun cloth table and praised him sincerely.

"The master is wrong. Everyone in the world wants to become a Buddha. How many people have achieved their wish?" Gunbu sighed.

Monk Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It is not difficult to become a Buddha. Just put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

"Master, do you want me to promote peace between Khalkha and Oirat?" Gunbu guessed his intention immediately.

Monk Wei Zheng did not hide anything, and told everything that Chechen Khan Shuolei had entrusted. Gunbu thought for a long time and finally nodded, "Please go back and tell the Chechen Khan that I am willing to advance and retreat with him."

In the morning of the next day, the big tent of Zasak Tuhan Subadi was bustling with people, and more than 20 people came from Taiji in Khalkha.

"Ahem," Subaadi coughed majestically, "I have asked you all to come here today to discuss peace with the Oirat people. Emperor Qianyuan of the Wei Kingdom put forward three conditions: becoming a vassal, establishing an offensive and defensive alliance, and opening up more trade. Port. Let’s discuss whether you agree or disagree. If you want to modify it, how should you reply?” When he said this, he actually had a good idea in his heart. He probably agreed with the third item, but he definitely had different opinions on the first two and needed to be modified. .

"I think Khalkha's biggest enemy is the Qing State in the south. By professing vassalage to the Wei State and setting up an offensive and defensive alliance, we can use the strength of the Wei State to compete with the Qing State. The opening of more trading ports is a great thing that will benefit the people. We should agree to it." Chechen Khan Shuolei was the first to nod in agreement.

"The words of the Chechen Khan are right. Oirat and our Khalkha have the same language and race. There is no shame in professing vassalage to them. On the contrary, it would be a great shame and shame to pay tribute to the emperor of Manchuria. Now we have Oros in the north and the Qing Dynasty in the south. It is really inappropriate to offend the Oirat brothers in the west. I agree with what the Chechen Khan said," Tushetu Khan Gonbu agreed.

Zasak Tukhan Subadi felt a chill in his heart and narrowed his old eyes. It seems that the Tuxie Tu tribe and the Chechen tribe have reached a consensus in private. The collusion of these two powerful tribes will be greatly detrimental to my control of Khalkha. After all, he is a veteran in the political arena, and he is proficient in the art of intrigue. He sees through things without telling them, and instead keeps nodding his head, "What the two Khans said makes sense, haha, what they say makes sense."

"It has always been Oirat that surrendered to Khalkha. Now we are going in the opposite direction. Wouldn't it be an insult to our ancestors?" Hetuohuite tribe Hutai Jiombu Erdeni objected loudly. His father was from Kharkistan. The Erqi war god Shuolei Ubashi, the figure who almost destroyed Oirat back then, has now surrendered to Oirat, which is hard to accept deep in his heart.

"Master Denzin, what do you think?" Subadi asked Monk Denzin of the Sayinnoyan tribe, actually defeating his army.

The Sayinnoyan tribe is a branch of the Tuxietu tribe. Denzin's grandfather Tumengken and Gunbu's grandfather Abadai are brothers. In other words, they should support Yanbu. But the ten fingers may be long or short, and the same tribe may not have the same mind. Tuxietu Khangunbu believed in Jue Nang, and made his son the Jebu Zundamba of the Jue Nang sect, while Monk Tenzin believed in the Gelug sect, and even his tribal name was a title of the Gelug sect. of. At that time, the Gelug monk saw that Danjin's grandfather Tumeng was able to remove the Yin Jie Nang and protect Gelug, so he awarded him the title of Saiyin Noyan, with a status equivalent to "Khan". Saiyin means "good" in Mongolian; Noyan means "official" in Mongolian. It has been passed down to Monk Danjin for three generations. Due to the different beliefs from Tuxietu's main tribe, and the instigation of external forces such as the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Zasak Tuhan, it gradually became separated from the main tribe.

Seeing Subadi's question, Danjin understood that this was forcing him to express his position. He sighed in his heart and said slowly: "Don't you remember the catastrophe two years ago? We have already paid the 'Nine White Tribute' to the Qing Dynasty. 'If we continue to surrender to the Wei State and form an offensive and defensive alliance, it will inevitably lead to a crusade by the Qing army and bring disaster to the people. We must not agree to these two items, but we can agree to the rest."

Seeing him mention the disastrous defeat two years ago, even Tushetu Khan Gunbu and Chechen Khan Shuolei, who supported the surrender of the guards, couldn't help but look pale.

Zhasak Tuhan Subadi was very satisfied. The purpose of being a Khan is to create opposition among the major internal forces so that he can control the situation. He coughed lightly and said, "What Master Huitaiji and Master Danjin said makes sense, haha. It makes sense."

"Great Khan, what you say makes sense, what you say makes sense, what is your attitude?" Chechen Khan Shuolei asked seemingly recklessly.

"Yes, the horses need a running horse, and the geese need a leader. The enemy is currently facing a powerful enemy. Please let the Khan know clearly where to go," all the auspicious people requested.

Subadi smiled slightly and said confidently, "If you want to avoid war with the Qing and Wei countries, you must agree to the first two items, but you must not agree to any of them."

"Great Khan, what do you mean?" "Yes, please clarify." Everyone was confused. "Everyone has no objections to the opening of additional treaty ports, so we approve it. As for the first two items, if we agree, it will lead to Qing military intervention and need to be revised."

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Subadi stroked his white beard proudly and said, "The Qing Dynasty will be furious if you profess your vassalage to the emperor of Wei, but what about the eminent monk who goes to Nyingma? Don't forget, Suletan calls himself Padmasambhava." The great master's body appeared in the world."

Everyone understood clearly that what the Great Khan meant was that everyone should pay homage to the Bodhisattva and pay homage to Emperor Wei. Worshiping Buddha is a matter of faith rather than a political matter. This not only saves the face of the Khalkha Mongols, but also makes it easier to explain to the Qing Dynasty. All of them praised "the Great Khan's wisdom" with sincerity, but Tuxietu Khan Gunbu had no words of suffering. Although the pilgrimage to Padmasambhava is a plan acceptable to all parties, it also means that each tribe has entered the Nyingma ritual. In the future, it can be seen that the power of the Nyingma sect in Khalkha will become more and more powerful, thus threatening the sect to which his son belongs. The power of the Jue Nang faction. Although he was aware of this, he was unable to do anything despite the unanimous applause of all the Taijis.

Subadi glanced at Gunbu proudly. The one he just fell into was a conspiracy, and the other party couldn't crack it even though he knew it was disadvantageous. Gunbu, Gunbu, you want to use Jue Nang's power to take back the position of leader, so I will introduce Ningma so that you can't use it.

"Ahem", he coughed slightly and continued to speak, "As for making an offensive and defensive alliance, it only needs to be changed to 'making an offensive and defensive alliance based on the "Mongolian-Oirat Code"'."

"How wonderful! The "Mongol-Oirat Code" has existed for a long time. It is hard for the Qing Dynasty to say anything." Everyone admired it in unison.

"Since everyone agrees, let's send envoys to the guard camp again." Subadi struck while the iron was hot.

"Wait a minute, one more thing needs to be added: the Guards must return the land they invaded in the Altai Mountains of me and the Tohuite tribe." A voice resounded through the sky, but it was the roar of Ombul Erdeni.

Everyone smiled, saying that returning the invaded Altai Mountains to the Tohuite tribe was just to get back the gold mines. The Altai Mountains were originally the hometown of Oirat. Now that they have taken them back, how can there be any reason to spit out the meat that reaches your mouth? Although they disapproved of it, no one was willing to openly offend the Hetuo Huite Department, and they all remained silent.

"Okay, let's add this one, just in time to test the peace sincerity of the Oirat people." Suba was the first to make the final decision.

The good nephew Babu came to the Guards camp again, and Suletan couldn't help laughing when he heard the answer he brought back. Change "Promise to the Emperor of Weiguo" to "Pilgrimage to Padmasambhava", and "Confirm an offensive and defensive alliance" to "Confirm an offensive and defensive alliance based on the "Mongolia-Oirat Code"", which is not what Subaadi thought. Gotta come out!

However, our army has completed its stated goal of "letting the Oirat left wing (referring to the Junggar tribe) go home" during this trip. The soldiers are exhausted from long-term battles and are really unwilling to continue to entangle with the Khalkhas, so let's leave it like that.

He just made a request to the Tohite Ministry to return the land in the Altai Mountains. Should he agree or not?

"Your Majesty, the sea is open to hundreds of rivers, and tolerance is great. If you can get Khalkha to return to the Altai Mountains, why would you want to give it up?" Liu Haogu, the adviser, advised.

Sultan nodded and shook his head, "Master Liu doesn't know something. The Altai Mountains control the main route into Mobei and must be in David's hands. As for the gold mine, just give it back to them."

The Qianyuan Emperor agreed to the Khalkhas' reply and agreed to return the Tohuite gold mines, but stationed troops in the Altai Mountains to intimidate Mobei.

On May 1648, the fifth year of David's reign (), Suletan, as Padmasambhava, formed an alliance with the princes of Mobei at the foot of the Altai Mountains, once again emphasizing the brotherhood between Oirat and Khalkha and the The Mongolian-Oirat Code is sacred and inviolable, and then returns to Hoboksali, where peace once again descends on the Altai Mountains.
