Chapter 774: Future Destiny

Regarding the request of the Living Buddha of Samuteng Osir, Li Banghua agreed after a little consideration.

As a figure who has been in a high position for many years, Li Banghua certainly knew that the request of the Living Buddha of Samuteng Osir was not as simple as he said, but he just accompanied Eluchen and Shandan and others to Beijing to meet the emperor.

He knew that this living Buddha of Samuteng Osr must have had his own purpose, and that this purpose must undoubtedly be related to sectarian disputes in Lamaism.

However, since he led the army into the Naturalization City, the most glorious buildings in the Naturalization City, in addition to the palace of Lin Dan Khan, are the Dazhao, Xiaozhao and other lama temples located in the center of the city.

Although he did not stay in the Naturalization City for a long time, he also heard from the Han people who knew the history of the Naturalization City, and heard about the successive large and small calls, and then the Naturalization City.

When he led the army all the way to the west, he passed through Ao Bao everywhere, and every town, whether intact or abandoned, the best buildings in the city were all lama temples.

This also made him, the cabinet assistant minister and military minister of the Ming Dynasty, have to seriously think about what position Lamaism will play in the future Ming Dynasty's rule over Monan and even the entire Mongolian region.

Ordos is good to say, and even the entire Monan Mongolia region is easy to say, as the emperor said in the holy decree he gave him before, empty its land and move the Han people to fill it.

But what about Mobei Mongolia, what about Moxi Mongolia, especially Qinghai and Kang-Tibet, where Lamaism is more popular and more powerful?

Li Banghua did not understand Lamaism, but he felt that Buddhism always had compassion in mind, persuaded people to be kind, persuaded people to become monks, and let the Mongols who had been unruly and had endangered China for hundreds of years believe in Buddhism.

In this case, let the living Buddha of Samuteng Osir, who was summoned by Usutu, accompany Eluchen and others to the Jingshi pilgrimage to the Holy Lord, maybe it will give the Holy Lord a little inspiration.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, Li Banghua asked Zu Keyong to set off first with the report he had written.

At the same time, Cao Bianjiao, who also performed outstandingly, took a cavalry from the Wulie Battalion to escort more than a dozen people from the Samuteng Osir Living Buddha and his disciples, as well as more than 200 people from Ordos Jinong Echen, Ordos Left and Right Wing Taiji Zamusu, Shandan, and their relatives and families, and then set off to meet and hear Feng.

The fact that the Living Buddha of Samuteng Osir and his disciples accompanied him made Elinchen feel a little relieved, but the arrangement of leaving behind tens of thousands of people and taking away all his relatives and relatives made Eluchen's heart always full of deep doubts.

But he also knew that Ordos at this time was no longer his minister's, or that the land of the Hetao at this time was no longer in the hands of the Ordos Ministry.

And the one who can really be the master is not Li Ge Lao of the Ming Dynasty who turned his hands into clouds and rained in Ordos at this time, but His Majesty the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who was 1,500 miles away.

It wasn't until he set out from Dongsheng City and crossed the Yellow River to the east that the thirty-year-old Eluchen left the territory of Ordos and then looked back and thought about these things, which could be regarded as "figuring out" the problem.

After figuring it out, E's heart became much calmer, and he should eat, sleep, and hurry along the way.

When the group arrived outside Yulin City, Cao Bianjiao took Li Banghua's letter to Chen Qiyu, who participated in Yansui politics, and picked up Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit and his family from the city.

Then, under the escort of Cao Bianjiao, these heads and brains who originally lived in Hetao went east through Biguan, Datong, and Xuanfu, and rushed towards the Daming Jingshi.

As early as after Lin Dan Khan became the lord of Monan, the king of Shunyi, he had already lost the authority of the lord of his tribulation, and after he went to Ordos, he sent people under the fence and looked up to people, and he couldn't say a word about the affairs of the Ordos departments.

If it weren't for the refusal of the border guards and military generals on the side of Daming to accept him, he would have entered Daming a long time ago.

Before, the Ming side did not accept him because Emperor Chongzhen and the important ministers around him hoped to maintain a relative peace with Lin Dan Khan, and also hoped to join forces with Lin Dan Khan to deal with Huang Taiji.

Now that Lin Dan Khan was driven away by Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji was driven away by the Ming army, then Shunyi Wang Bu Lost Rabbit has become a signboard that can be taken out and used.

And the king of Shunyi, Bu Lost Rabbit, is also fed up with the precarious days.

For a former leader of Tumut who lost almost all of his territory, tribes, cattle and sheep and property, his status as the king of Shunyi was only of some value in the Ming Dynasty.

This title canonized to him by the Ming Dynasty has long been worthless in various parts of Mongolia.

Because whether it is in the south of the desert, the north of the desert or the west of the desert, or just in the Hetao area, the law of respect for the strong is pursued.

You don't have enough strength in your hands, you are the self-proclaimed king of heaven, and no one will take you seriously.

So when Chen Qiyu brought Cao Bianjiao to find Bu Lost Rabbit, he accepted this arrangement very happily and even happily.

Traveling to the Jingshi Dynasty to meet the Ming Emperor might have given him a handsome reward that would allow him and his family to continue to live a decent life.

In the team to Jingshi, Bu Lost Rabbit and Eluchen met again, and both of them were a little embarrassed.

However, Bu Lost Rabbit's performance also helped Eluchen recognize the reality faster.

The man who decided the fate of his ministers and his Ordos tribes was none other than Emperor Chongzhen, who had now won the victory against the invasion of Jianlu.

The moment he decided to surrender and be taken back to Dongsheng City, the decision on the land of the Hetao was no longer in his hands.

And just as he was still on the way to the Daming Jingshi with hope, the fate of the Mongols in the Ordos Department had already been decided, including the fate of him, the Jinong of the Ordos Department, which had also been decided.

Although they all rode horses and set off on the same day, there were still female dependents in the team that Elu Chen was in, and the speed of the eastward march was much slower than that of Zu Keyong, who was elated along the way.

It is said that after Zu Keyong entered the Beijing division with the good news of the great victory in Hetao and the report written by Li Banghua to the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, convened the cabinet ministers and military ministers in Beijing to discuss the matter the next day.

The cabinet ministers are only the first assistant Li Guojian and the cabinet minister Xu Guangqi, and the minister of military aircraft is only the British minister Zhang Weixian.

Moreover, at this time, the British public Zhang Weixian's condition was getting worse day by day, and he was forced to participate in the imperial meeting in the Qianqing Palace.

On the morning of February 23 in the third year of Chongzhen, the three important ministers of the dynasty in Beijing walked through the long white marble paved royal road of the Qianqing Palace and came to the Qianqing Palace under the guidance of the military attache in front of the imperial chamber and the eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace.

When the three important ministers saw Emperor Chongzhen standing at the door of the imperial study, they immediately saluted together and shouted Long live our emperor.

Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, said: "The ministers congratulate Your Majesty on fulfilling the long-cherished wish of your ancestors! Now that the land of the Hetao has been recovered, it is not difficult to settle the land of the Qin and Jin dynasties! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the people of Qin and Jin! ”

After Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, finished speaking, Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister, and Zhang Weixian, the British minister of military aircraft, also said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations to the people of Qin and Jin! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was also happy, and hurriedly asked the three old ministers to get up, and personally stepped forward to help Zhang Weixian, the British public who covered his mouth and coughed after saying a few words.

Zhang Weixian, who had lost so much weight that he was about to lose his appearance, stood up tremblingly while thanking him again and again.

The three of them followed the emperor into the imperial study of the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and sat down in their own positions according to the custom.

Wang Chengen personally served ginseng tea to the emperor and the three important ministers, and slowly retreated to the door.
