Chapter 838: Mongolian White Lotus
The reason why Cheng Xiaolian made a move to rescue Beijing, to say from the bottom of his heart, on the premise of not destroying the Great Wall, he still hopes to save Beijing, not to mention the prosperity and magnificence of the Forbidden City, if the Mongols burn it, it is a pity, to say that the people of this city, although there are also those who follow the officials to enjoy the blessings, but most of them still suffer a lot. Those who have enjoyed the blessings can be said to have enjoyed the blessings, and naturally they will have to bear the disaster, but the people who have been suffering are not worth losing their lives because of this.
Of course, if it was to save the people of this city, Cheng Xiaolian would definitely not do the things that would make the world change hands, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty sat on the mountain and watched the tiger in the previous battle between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, and it can be regarded as saving a little belongings, and it is appropriate to use it here.
Moreover, this Beijing is the Beijing of the Ming Dynasty, although Chongzhen died in the country, but never gave up Beijing, later generations said that he was the Son of Heaven guarding the country, and the king died in Sheji. Some people say that he looked down on Li Zicheng at all, and he lost his life and died in the country under carelessness, but no matter what later generations evaluated, the people of Shuntianfu still inherited the love of Daming, after all, even if the emperor was killed, he never gave up Shuntianfu, never gave up on them.
Now Cheng Xiaolian wants to continue this affection, if the world is contested, it will be a big war, this people's will is basically useless, and everything decided by the war depends on the soldiers. But if it is a long-term confrontation, it will be a test of the people's aspirations, which side the people stand on, which side the resources will be tilted to, which is the art of war said that the people, the so-called time is not as good as the place, the place is not as good as the people.
This side of the march with great fanfare, Galdan was not idle, he gathered all the generals in the army together: "Beijing City is the richest city in the Ming Dynasty, I heard that in their Forbidden City, the city walls are made of gold, our goal this time is to break through Beijing, plunder all the treasures back to the grassland, and when we go back, we can gather more warriors, and it will not take a few years to restore the glory of Genghis Khan!" ”
The generals under his command were all excited, and Qin Ming stood up at this time: "Great Khan, I have something to say." ”
Qin Ming's status in the grassland is very lofty now, originally most people in the grassland have their own beliefs, but faith is just faith, nothing can be brought, the wind and rain are blessed by the gods, if there is a catastrophe, it is a person who is given up by the gods, can only struggle in the disaster, and finally die helplessly.
The reason why the White Lotus Sect was able to flourish in the Central Plains for a long time was definitely its own set of things, and the free treatment and medicine alone convinced many people in the Central Plains who looked down on the disease. Although the rules of the grassland are not the same as those of the Central Plains, the situation of the poor is the same, they do not have enough food and clothing, and there is no condition for treatment when they are sick.
The White Lotus teaches free medical treatment and medicine, in the eyes of many poor people, this is their savior, faith is sometimes the spiritual sustenance of the poor in helpless times, they believe that the hard days will always pass, so they can persist in living. And at this time, the appearance of the White Lotus Sect told them that as long as you believe in our White Lotus Sect, we can save your lives.
Many low-level herdsmen began to believe in the White Lotus Sect, and when a more authentic sect appeared in front of them, wishless and desireless, but only to purify sentient beings, many began to believe that there really was a savior in the world.
So when Galdan found out that there were people who could sway the herdsmen's minds and wanted to eradicate him, if he was killed, he would lose the hearts of the people, and if there were no warriors willing to fight for you on the steppe, then it would be absolutely impossible to dominate one side.
In the end, Galdan could only swallow the bitter fruit helplessly, sealed Qin Ming as his national teacher, and let him follow left and right, and he made trouble in a place he couldn't see, but he didn't expect that he would stand up at this time.
Galdan glared at him viciously: "What does the national teacher say?" ”
"The Great Khan is determined to be a robber, but not to be a robber, now that he has just marched into the Central Plains, I hope that the Great Khan can make less killing, if he kills too much, I am afraid that he will not be recognized by the people of the world in the future." Qin Ming also knew that it was simply unrealistic to stop Galdan from attacking Beijing at this time, and in the face of countless gold and silver treasures, even if he wanted to give up, those under his command would not agree, so he could only make less killing.
The White Lotus Sect's doctrine of compassion and compassion made it impossible for them to sit idly by and watch these tragedies happen, but more importantly, there was news from the Ming Dynasty, asking him to save the lives of the people as much as possible. You must know that the White Lotus Sect is not an immortal, and things like this herb are all provided by Da Ming, so after thinking about it, Qin Ming still stood up.
Hearing this, Galdan snorted: "When my Dayuan entered the Central Plains, I relied on the butcher's knife in my hand, but for the sake of your face, I won't let my subordinates kill people indiscriminately." ”
Since the ultimate goal is in Beijing, now kill some people and grab some things, so I agreed to him, otherwise if Qin Ming made some small moves behind his back, it would inevitably be another trouble.
"The Great Khan is merciful, and all the people will return to their hearts, and the world will be just around the corner."
Galdan cursed in his heart: "When I take the world, I will be the first to kill you." ”
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the status of the White Lotus Sect in the grassland was now getting higher and higher, if it didn't do what the Emperor Ming had explained, resulting in the supply of medicinal herbs being cut off, it would be all over.
Although the environment of Mongolia is different from that of the Central Plains, the feeling of respect is average, and if he wants to revitalize the White Lotus Sect, he can't give up this territory.
The Mongol cavalry received the order, and regardless of the scattered prefectures and counties along the way, they went straight to Beijing, and arrived at the city of Beijing in three days.
At this time, Hu Guozhu also got the news, and snorted coldly: "Let them eat dogs, and when the fight is almost over, Lao Tzu will come forward to clean up the mess, and then the world will not be a big Zhou?" ”
Wang Jiyong's army had just arrived at Hejian Mansion at this time, and the army was already exhausted after a long-distance attack. When he heard that the Mongol army had arrived at the city of Beijing, he immediately ordered a half-day rest to recover.
In his opinion, if the defenders of Beijing City do not resist, then even if it is too late to rush over at this time, if they can block for a day or two, the army just rushed to the spot with full vitality, and can also stop the offensive of the Mongolian cavalry, and smoothly drag the army to here, otherwise it will be in vain to bury the Ming cavalry, and he will not do this loss-making business.
Respect the beliefs of all ethnic groups, do not write the true beliefs of the grassland people, only replace them with gods, family words, do not have to be taken seriously.
