Chapter 158: Conditions

Coming to see these lamas is also the proper meaning of the question. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mongolia is a bit like medieval Europe, where the aristocracy wielded secular power and then pledged allegiance to the religious chiefs, and it could even be said that these Mongol religious leaders had a longer hand, more power, and a greater influence on the ability to make decisions on major matters.

Zhang Han did not like these lamas in his heart, as a Han Chinese, he believed more in the things in his thousand-year-old civilization inheritance, and Zhang Han did not recognize and accept Tibetan Buddhism, many forms and cores.

But it doesn't matter what the individual attitude is, what matters is that these lamas can cooperate with Zhang Han to rule the steppe and make them more politically stable...... That's all that matters.

Politicians are sometimes like that, and there is no way to deal with things based on likes and dislikes.

There are a lot of people who bow down to greet them along the way, quite a lot of Mongols are guards wearing bows and arrows and quivers, they are a little nervous, during the day the Great Khan and Taiji have already respectfully greeted the big man of the Han people in front of them, the Mongols also understand that the steppe has entered a new chapter, the Han official in front of him, has the power and status that ordinary Mongolians can not imagine, his financial resources can reach the sky, his subordinates are far better at fighting than the Mongols, and the three tribes of Mobei are not the opponents of the Hutchison merchant group soldiers, but no matter what, These arrow-wielding guards are still quite vigilant and careful...... Behind him are several revered lamas and living Buddhas, who are far more important in the hearts of ordinary Mongolians than those Taiji nobles.

"I've seen Master Zhang."

More than a dozen qualified lamas, all dressed in red robes, bowed to Zhang Han together.

They are all in front of the main hall of the Buddhist temple, not the gate, retaining their identity and dignity and detachment, and also giving Zhang Han the face he deserves.

Zhang Han didn't care about these little tricks at all, what mattered was that they were bowing down, not themselves.

"Everyone, please be polite, don't be too polite." Zhang Han walked straight into the main hall, looked at it, and sat down on a straw mat in the middle.

Mobei here is quite simple, the lamas in Tibet are more particular about enjoyment than ordinary nobles, several big living Buddhas live in the palace-like Buddhist temples are splendid, living and sitting are quite enjoyable.

Although the Buddhist temple here is large, the lamas are sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the decoration is quite ordinary, it seems that either the atmosphere is still simple, or the wealth has not yet been accumulated.

Several living Buddhas sat cross-legged on Zhang Han's left and right sides, with various mixed expressions on their faces, some unwilling, some faint anger, some panic, and a little restrained and flattered...... Zhang Han did not give any Mongolian high-level courtesy, including the three Great Khans, who also received and toasted in public, and the rest of the courtesy was gone.

Of course, this is also Zhang Han's deliberate, he wants to make those Great Khans understand the difference between him and his identity.

Surrender is surrender, what Great Khan Taiji is empty, Zhang Han is their current master, there is no other choice.

Zhang Han opened his mouth and said, "I came here today to reiterate a few things...... First, we will not interfere in the mission of the Yellow Sect in the Mongolian tribes in the future, but the lamas should not interfere too much in the affairs of the various tribes, especially not to contradict our major policy of Hutchison. ”

Zhang Han muttered: "To put it simply, you should try your best to cooperate with our decrees, even if they are not in line with the traditions of the Mongols, you must preach and cooperate, so that our decrees can be implemented more easily." ”

All the lamas are silent, they are all smart people, they can arch a religion in this era, and from Tibet to the Western Regions to Qinghai to the entire grassland, and then to Liaodong, the primitive shamanism is defeated, although this is the overall religious advanced bonus, but these people who live on the cusp of the times are undoubtedly not good at stubble, they are all highly intelligent, at least they are also good at flickering the master of psychology.

They didn't rush to make a statement, just waited for Zhang Han to continue.

"Second, we will give you the corresponding status and respect, you can continue to preach, develop more believers, we can help you fight the Red Religion, whether it is political or religious, or use war to solve it. Thirdly, I know that your current wealth comes from offerings, but the offerings are uneven, depending on the financial resources of each tribe in each place, from now on, in addition to offerings, we Hutchison can provide you with additional financial help, you are all saints, you should not worry about money, I can guarantee that our Hutchison appropriation must be much more normal and generous than offerings. ”

When the third point was heard, the eyes of all the lamas present except Jebtsundamba lit up.

It is indeed the case, like Zhebu Tsundamba Hutu Ketu is the largest tribe in Mobei to worship the living Buddha, and is the reincarnated spirit child in the golden family, his worship is not only far beyond the ordinary living Buddha, not even under the two living Buddhas in Tibet, the entire Mobei is equal to his territory, several Great Khans and many herdsmen built a city for him as a temple, such offerings are of course the best, but in addition to Jebzundamba, the rest of the living Buddhas are in exile without exception, Zhangjia Living Buddha is in Zhangjia Village in Qinghai to accept worship, The name of the living Buddha of the Zhang family can be seen how embarrassing it is, in the Qing Dynasty, this living Buddha was favored by the Qing court because of his influence in Monan, and then was respected as the living Buddha of Zhangjia and the national teacher, and he also built a Buddha city to worship, at this time, this big living Buddha did not have this kind of treatment, and it was too far behind.

The rest of the Living Buddhas have their own sufferings, and sometimes they think not for themselves, but for the sake of their many followers...... The living Buddha of the Zhang family alone has more than 1,000 monks to follow, in the Qinghai area, any living Buddha is like this, maybe the living Buddha itself is not greedy, but if there is no large amount of money to worship, they will not only be limited to their own embarrassment and unable to preach on a large scale, but also simply cannot afford the various expenses of the entourage and the people who come to study Buddhism.

Even a wealthy living Buddha like Jebtsundamba will have times of embarrassment, just like the current city of Kulun, this big temple, built because of the worship of various ministries, but it has stagnated because of the lack of financial resources of each ministry......

Zhang Han said to Jebzundamba at the right time: "The saint lives in a half-built city like this every day, and he is also very disturbed, right? If we reach an agreement between the two sides, we will be responsible for the construction cost first. ”

Jebzundamba bowed down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I still have some doubts about this matter, and I have to ask your lord for advice." ”

Zhang Han said calmly: "Sage, please speak." ”

Of course, these top living Buddhas can't be settled so easily, and Zhang Han is also fully mentally prepared for this.

"The second article mentioned by Shicai does not include our Mongolian co-lord Lin Dan Khan?"

Zhang Han groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "If Lin Dan Khan doesn't take the initiative to attack us, we won't fight ......."

Several living Buddhas who were born in serious Mongolians are a little relieved.

In any case, Lin Dan Khan was the co-leader of the Mongols, and no one present was willing to follow Hutchison to fight Lin Dan Khan, and there were already too many civil wars between the Mongols, and there was too much blood.

On the Mobei side, Tushetu Khan only made a gesture of sending troops when the Tumut Department was most dangerous. They have been at peace for too long, and the Khalkha and Tumuts and the Inner Khalkha, as well as the Chahars, although they belong to one of the 60,000 households divided by Dayan Khan, but in fact they have been separated for a long time, the pastures of the two sides are thousands of miles apart, and the feelings have been indifferent a lot, just like in history, the five Inner Khalkha tribes were wiped out by the Jurchens, and the seven tribes of the Outer Khalkha had no feeling, Lin Dan Khan moved westward, and the Mobei tribes put on an attitude that it was none of my business, but Huang Taiji chased and beat all the way and forced Lin Dan Khan to death. The Mobei tribes ran out with the rest of the dozens of small tribes, paid tribute to the Jurchens, and immediately surrendered to Huang Taiji's combat boots, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to put an end to the harm to their own tribes, and they didn't want to fight.

Even after the Qing army entered the customs, dozens of Mongolian tribes sent troops to follow, and later in the battle of the customs, the foreign feudal Mongolia contributed a lot of strength, but the delay and the delay did not take the entry into the customs to grab things and fight the grass valley seriously, and it was also the Mobei tribes.

In fact, if you want to say that you really surrender, it is still during the Kangxi period when Geldan became the lord of the four departments of Oirat, and when the Geldan Khanate was established, Mobei faced a crisis of destruction, and at that time, the Mobei tribes were really subordinated to the Qing Dynasty, and the Great Khan was changed to the prince, Taiji was changed to the county king or Baylor, and the banners were divided, but that was decades later.

Jebzundamba said again: "If there is a war, will the adults recruit our Mobei people and horses to fight?" ”

"No!" Zhang Han said categorically: "The Khans of Mobei, the White Horse and I will be allied, I said in advance that day, I will not regard the Great Khan as subordinates, and the ministries as my subordinates." The ministries may trade with us and respect our officials and obey the law for the good of all. However, we do not ask the ministries to change to the Han system, let alone regard the ministries as subordinates. ”

"That's very good." Jebtsundamba was very relieved and said: "We don't want the Mongols to shed any more blood. ”

At this time, Lama Tenzin said: "The second point that Lord Shicai said is willing to help us fight the Red Sect, even if it is by means of war, I don't know if it is true?" ”

"Of course."

Zhang Han's face was gentle, but his tone was very confident and powerful, revealing a strong self-confidence.

Lama Tenzin said happily: "In this case, Chotu Khan is the head of the Mobei Red Sect, and if possible, I will ask Lord Zhang to restrain him a little so that he will not be too arrogant." ”

Zhang Han said keenly: "Is Tu Khan very arrogant? ”

The Chotu Khan Department was also one of the Khalkha tribes, and was originally a large Taiji of the Khalkha Department. Its strength is only under the three khans of the desert, and its department is active in the northwest of the desert, and has recently continued to go south, originally this tribe will go south to the pastures around Qinghai Lake, and is connected to the Tumut tribe, but now the Tumut tribe has been wiped out, but the Tutu department has stopped the process of going south.

Jebtsundamba sighed: "The person of Chotu Khan does not seem to have the heart of obedience, and he has always been inseparable from the three of us. And because Kulun is the center of the Yellow Sect, I am here, I have repeatedly invited him to come to the meeting, but I have not moved him, this time we have succeeded in the alliance with Yusheng, he must have suspicion and suspicion, I think this person will sooner or later have trouble, if He Yusheng can be exterminated in him, my department is willing to be the forerunner, lead the troops to take advantage of the situation to annihilate, and uproot it! ”
