Although Galdan was not sure of persuading his fifth brother Sengge Khan, he still arrived at the East Lake Palace in Wuhan Mansion after a long journey - the emperor summoned him, how dare he not go?
"Galdan, why are you still dressed as a monk?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised when he saw Galdan who still looked like a monk. Did this guy really miss the scriptures all his life?
"The local tycoon has told me," Zhu Cixiang added, "I want to take you to live in America and make you a general. Don't you want to go?"
"Your Majesty," Galdan said, "This student does not want to be a general. He only wants to be admitted to the Imperial Academy and study knowledge."
Of course this is a lie, Galdan! If he doesn't fight, who will? But there are always people in Laoshan Middle School who say that he is also the second best... Although he is young, he has a precocious mind and knows that it is not easy to be the second best. Zhu Hehao doesn't care that it is because he is not a prince!
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "Whether you study knowledge or not, you can go to America and become the president of a university... I have thought of a name for the school for you. You are Hutuktu, and you preside over the university. Why don't you just... Call it Harvard!”
"The poor monk received the order."
Zhu Cixiang was joking, but Galdan took the order seriously - now there will be two Harvards in the New World! Because there is already a Harvard in the Massachusetts Bay Colony... There is another Harvard in Peanutton on the American Bay. I don’t know who can do it better?
"Sit down!" Zhu Cixiang waved his hand and offered a seat to the founder of Peanutton Harvard University.
"Galdan," Zhu Cixiang continued after watching the monk sit down on an embroidered pillar, "did the wealthy man tell you about going home?"
"I told you." Galdan replied.
"Then are you willing to take this trip?" Zhu Cixiang asked.
"Yes," Galdan said, "Just..."
Zhu Cixiang smiled and interrupted Galdan, "Don't say 'just', even if Sengge doesn't listen to your advice, I will not punish you.
I know that your Choros family has always been ambitious, and Sengge also has the ability and opportunity to make the Junggar tribe prosperous. But part of the reason why the Junggar tribe has been able to rise to its current level is that all the grassland khanates have begun to decline... Because other people's territory is not good, the decline is faster, and the Oara Alliance is located in The location is remote and not easy to go downhill. This allowed the quasi-division to integrate the remaining tribes of other steppe khanates and quickly grow in size. But what is the foundation of the remnants of these steppe khanates? After swallowing them, will the quasi-bube really become stronger? "
The strength of the Junggar tribe is inevitable because their geographical advantage is too great. The place where they are located is almost the center of the entire nomadic world! After the surrounding nomadic khanates declined one by one, some small nomadic tribes that were not willing to be ruled by the conquerors would move to the center and then be absorbed by the Junggar tribe, the most powerful in the Oara Alliance.
Because the Quanbu were far away from the centers of the Eastern and Western empires, they could avoid the powerful attacks of the Eastern and Western empires to a certain extent, and could develop and grow in the Central Asian grasslands, the last base of nomadic civilization.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong's attack on Khalkha Mongolia, Monan Mongolia, and Eastern Mongolia will inevitably deliver a large amount of effective force to the Junggar tribe. Because the populations of various Central Asian countries are not large at this time, and the power that the Rakshasa Kingdom can invest in Central Asia is also very limited, once the population of Junggar reaches 6,700,000 or even one million, it will be able to rise to prominence.
However, the Dzungars, who were raised by the remnants of the declining nomadic tribes in the East and West, still have no way to escape the trend of the great decline of nomadic civilization. The result of short-term rise is inevitable long-term decline.
The long-term decline of the Junggar tribe was something Zhu Cihong did not want to see.
Because the Junggar tribe is a member of the Celestial Dynasty civilization circle... The so-called Celestial Dynasty, of course, includes the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the Southern Barbarians as a whole.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the great monk Galdan in front of him, and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was deep in thought, so he said warmly: "Galdan, go and talk to the monk. I will give him two choices. One is to let the horse go." Come over and compete with me! Although I am now recruiting troops from the Seventh Route Army to defeat Bashu and Yunnan, I still have enough energy left to fight against Junggar!
The second is to give up the idea of advancing eastward, go south to annex the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, and then establish a semi-nomadic and semi-settled Dzungar Khanate with Bukhara or Samarkand as the center.
If Sengge is willing to fight, then I will fight until he is convinced!
If he is unwilling to go to war with me, then I will make him the King of Junggar Khan, and at the same time separate the Junggar Khanate and the Beiting Protectorate. Beiting was the internal vassal, and the Khanate was the external vassal. I will also give him a batch of firearms to help him use his troops south. "
Is the Ming Emperor really that easy to talk to? Galdan was pounding in his heart - if the Sengge marched eastward to Khalkha Mongolia, he would unify Mongolia and become the second largest leader of Genghis Khan. But if he went south to destroy the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, he would be second to Timur... In history, didn't Timur also try to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the end? As a result, he died of illness on the way. Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened?
But the current Ming Dynasty is probably even more difficult to deal with than during the Yongle period! Galdan was thinking, but the Mongolian side... is far inferior to what it was back then!
Thinking of this, Galdan stood up, put his hands together and performed a monk's salute, "The poor monk will definitely convey His Majesty's words to the monks, and will try his best to persuade the monks not to be enemies of the Celestial Empire."
Neither Zhu Cihong nor Galdan wanted the Sengge Khan of Junggar to take the wrong path of fighting against the Celestial Empire, but there are always some people in this world who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, because only when the world is in chaos can they have the opportunity to recover and rise again. Clear the country.
These people are now gathering in a yellow temple on Wutai Mountain in Xinzhou, Shanxi!
The so-called Huang Temple is a Lama Temple. During the Yuan Dynasty, Tibetan Buddhism entered the Central Plains in a large scale. Buddhist temples in the world were divided into Qing Temple and Huang Temple. The Qing Temple housed monks and the Huang Temple housed Lamas.
Emperor Shunzhi, who fled during the Battle of Beijing, now lives in seclusion in a yellow temple, pretending to be a lama.
Although this lama lives deep in the mountains, he can still see the world and listen to all directions - he is an emperor after all, and he is also the leader of the two yellow flags, so he has a lot of history.
Moreover, his escape and seclusion were planned for a long time, so he also made some arrangements for his comeback.
However, Duni's rapid defeat and the collapse of the Khalkha and Horqin tribes made most of his plans come to nothing. However, Shunzhi was not completely desperate because the Ming Dynasty had not yet unified the world!
In the southwest, the Dashun Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were competing against each other, while the Junggar tribe in the northwest was becoming increasingly powerful and had the potential to unify Mongolia.
"Tuhai, Biliktu, it will not be easy for the Qing Dynasty to revive now. The power in our hands is too limited and we can no longer act rashly. The only way is to instigate Junggar and the Ming Dynasty. Junggar has been prosperous in recent years. Ah, there are signs of regaining the Yuan Dynasty. However, Sengge Khan has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and he may not necessarily know the strength of the Ming army. Some people go to the Western Regions to help Sengge. I have thought about it, and you two are the most suitable. Tuhai, you Having experienced battles for a long time, he is well versed in the new and old methods of war, and can help the Sengge train their troops. Biliktu, you are a Mongolian, a member of the Horqin tribe, and you happen to have taken refuge with the Sengge..."
Shunzhi, dressed as a great lama, is now sitting on a futon, talking nonstop to Tuhai and Biliktu, who also shaved their heads and pretended to be monks - Tuhai and Biliketu did not pretend to be lamas, but pretended to be monks. The monk. After all, there are many green temples and few yellow temples in the world, so it is easier to walk around pretending to be a monk.
"Your Majesty, I must convince Sengge and Daming to do it!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard to revive our Qing Dynasty..."
Tuhai and Biliketu both looked very determined, as if they wanted to fight Daming to the end. The Great Lama Shunzhi nodded and raised his hand to signal the two of them to leave.
Seeing Tuhai and Biliktu leaving, Shunzhi sighed again and said to Sony beside him: "Sony... I should go out for a walk too."
"Where is the emperor going?"
"Let's go to Changbai Mountain first...to see Huang Ama!"
