Chapter 283: Envoy of Hezhuo
At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Junggar camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of the cutting-edge weapons and strong combat effectiveness of Li Guangdi's 500 missions, Galdan formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is called a minister, just for the sake of a nice name, and it is called an alliance.
"We don't want the territory of Ili, this is the territory of the Great Khan, our goal is to march west, all the way to the west, so that the khanates of the Western Regions will submit to our Ming Dynasty." Li Guangdi said, pointing to the map.
Lama Dalai smiled disapprovingly, and said in a somewhat skeptical tone: "It's not easy to say! Some of the khanates in the Western Regions are now vassal states of the Rumi people, and some have chosen to take refuge in the Rakshasas. Whether it's the Rumi country or the Rakshasa country, we can't afford to provoke it. If you were to conquer the Turks and the Great Cannibals, do you know how powerful the enemy is against you? And your transportation line is too long, food and ammunition need to travel long distances to deliver, and when you enter the territory of the big cannibals, you will be alone, and there are not many of you, unlike our Mongol Empire's westward expedition, with hundreds of thousands of troops. ”
Galdan also smiled: "You are all infantry and cavalry, there are no artillery. When you enter the Western Regions, you will be dotted with strong castles built by the Great Cannibals, and you don't have cannons, how can you capture the castle? ”
The loyal battalion marched westward, and the strength was not very strong, and the real soldiers were less than 50,000, all of which relied on catching cannon fodder along the way. Because the transport line was too long, it was completely dependent on camels for transportation, and it was impossible to carry heavy artillery. The soldiers did not carry much food on their bodies, so they had to rely on local supplies. If you attack the castle and can't do it for a long time, the loyal battalion itself will run out of food.
Li Guangdi replied, "Since we are cooperating with you, we are not in a hurry to go west, but to help you resist the attack of the Rakshasas first. Our grain transportation needs to pass through your territory, and only when your territory is stable can we go to the west and west. The benefits of the western expedition to the countries of the Western Regions can be shared equally. ”
"At present, the Samyuz of the Kazakh Khanate is under threat from the Rakshasas, and the Kazakh Khanate is a vassal to us, after all, they were also the Golden Horde of our Mongol Empire. Since the Rakshasas broke away from our Mongol Empire, the power of the Rakshasas has grown stronger and stronger, and the Kazakh Khanate has suffered greatly. Galdan said.
Li Guang said: "Didn't I hear that the Rakshasas and the Lumi people are fighting? ”
"Yes, if they weren't fighting, we would have been threatened by the Rakshasas. Originally, the Rakshasas were still trading with us, and we also bought their guns. But now that the Rakshasas have turned their heads to support the Manchus, you know, we have a bad relationship with the Mongol traitors who took refuge in the Manchus. The enemy of the enemy should be supported, if not a friend, and the Rakshasas understand this very well. Because of this, we also expelled the Rakshasa messengers. Galdan said.
Li Guangdi said angrily: "The claws of the Rakshasa people have stretched out too long from Tessie to us, right? ”
Galdan sneered: "I have long seen that the Rakshasas are insatiable, they never dislike their territory too much, even if it is a desert in a barren land, even if it is a thousand miles of frozen snowfield, they want it!" ”
"Great Khan, messengers sent by Apak and Zhuo have arrived." While he was talking, a soldier came in to give a report.
"Hezhuo?" Galdan laughed, turned his head to Li Guangdi, and said, "We are going to march into the Yarkand Khanate, and now it is good that someone will send them to us as a guide." ”
"This guy is running again? How many times is it? This person is the leader of the Baishan Sect of the Heavenly Sect, why does he always have the cheekiness to come to us for help from believing in Buddhism? The Dalai Lama beside him frowned.
Li Guangdi asked: "It seems that the Living Buddha is also the same as our handsome, and looks down on the Heavenly Sect?" ”
Da Lai replied: "The Heavenly Sect hates infidels, and in their eyes we are all heretics who do not believe in the true God, and we are all going to hell. However, this and Zhuo are also hard enough, in order to seize the throne of the Khan, he did not hesitate to cooperate with us, just to pull Ismael down. ”
Later, Lama Dalai talked about some things about the Turks: as early as the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the Western Regions also believed in Buddhism. Later, the Arab armies went eastward, and all the non-religious Turks were killed, and the rest were all religious.
"How can this Heavenly Fang Sect be like this? Die if you don't believe in religion? Forcing others to become religious! Li Guangdi shook his head and said.
"Whoever is not a believer will go to hell with fire. Catch the infidel and behead him. That's what they're the Celestial Cultists! When they are weak, they can be lackeys for others and look honest. Once they are strong, they will inevitably make trouble. Galdan also felt very disdainful of those Heavenly Sect disciples.
While he was talking, a messenger sent by Hezhuo entered the tent. The envoy made a celestial salute and said to Galdan respectfully: "Honorable Great Khan, I am a servant of Hozhuo, whose name is Abbula, and he asked me to come and cooperate with you sincerely. ”
Apak and Zhuo were Korla people who had assisted Yiulbarsi Khan, and later led troops to attack Dzungaria, and after being defeated, they first fled to Central Asia, and later entered Gansu and Qinghai to preach, vigorously developing the Tianfang cults, trying to make a comeback and drive the Mongols out of northern Xinjiang.
As a result, the Celestial Cultists were once again defeated by the pagan Mongols, and the honest Hezhuo later simply violated the teachings and cooperated with the lama in an attempt to make himself the position of Yarkand Great Khan.
However, in real history, the suppression of the Turkic people by He Zhuo was more ruthless than that of the Mongols, because within the Celestial Sect, the struggle between the Celestial Sect of different factions was more bloody, which meant that heretics were more hateful than infidels.
There was no telegram back then, if there was a telegram, Wang Yu would inevitably support He Zhuo to come to power, and use He Zhuo to deal with the Turks in the Western Regions.
Li Guangdi was reluctant to cooperate with the Heavenly Sect, but since He Zhuo came, and Galdan had the intention of treating He Zhuo as a dog, as an external envoy, Li Guangdi naturally could not point fingers at Kaldan. Although he felt evil towards the Heavenly Sect after listening to the words of Dalai and the others, he still couldn't convince Galdan and Dalai not to cooperate with Hezhuo.
"Who is this?" The envoy Abbula turned his head and saw Li Guangdi wearing a red official robe and a black gauze hat, and asked in surprise.
Galdan smiled and replied, "This is the messenger of the Great Ming, who has come to help us, and is his own person. ”
The two sides soon signed an agreement, and Galdan promised to send troops to the Yarkand Khanate to help Hezhuo get rid of Ismayel and make Hozhuo ascend to the throne of Great Khan.
He Zhuo was also frightened by the Dzungar Mongols, and now he can hug the thick thighs of Dzungaria, so he is naturally very happy.
