Kangxi and Wu Shicong seemed a little distracted and underestimated the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Galdan, who often dealt with the Rakshasa people, felt that he might have said that the Rakshasa people were a bit weak just now, making these two men underestimate their pride. As Genghis Khan once said, arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
Thinking of this, he quickly added: "The Great Khan, King of Qin, and the Rakshasa's military strength are not as good as the heavenly soldiers of Mongolia and Zhou, but their country is bitterly cold and their people are tough, especially in extremely cold and miserable places. , in the land of the Siberian Khanate, they can cultivate and cultivate it as a long-term solution. If the Rakshasa people refuse to return the Siberian Khanate, we have to brave the wind and snow to enter Siberia to fight with them for a long time, and I am afraid we will not gain any advantage! "
Of course Kangxi knew about the bitter cold in Siberia. In fact, he was interested in the bitter cold there and wanted to seize it. Because a bitter cold place means it’s easy to hold on! There is no need to defeat the enemy in the field at all. You only need to build some self-sufficient and long-term strongholds, and you can rely on "Winter General" to defeat the enemy. Historically, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was defeated outside the Great Wall, actually relied on the bitter cold in the north to survive the two great emperors Hongwu and Yongle until the Ming Dynasty weakened.
Although Beiyuan was not much better, it finally survived until the era of Lin Dan Khan, which is considered good enough.
This experience is worth reference!
If the Qing Dynasty in the future cannot defend the four provinces of Mountains and Rivers, the Monan grassland, and the fertile black soil of Liaodong, and can only retreat to the lands north of Khalkha Mongolia and Heilongjiang, then Siberia and the Kipchak grassland will become the Great Qing Dynasty. rear.
If the Ming Dynasty sends a large number of troops to the Khalkha Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty's Khanate will be able to move to the Kipchak grassland, and at the same time defend Siberia and the northern part of the Khalkha Mongolia. The Ming Dynasty will be able to survive slowly.
No matter how bad it is, without Khalkha Mongolia, Great Mongolia can still rely on the two extremely open territories of the Kipchak Grassland and Siberia, and then jointly occupy the Wu Zhou in the river and the Rakshasa in the west to maintain its existence.
Facing such a powerful enemy as the Republic of China and the Ming Dynasty, Kangxi felt that he could be regarded as a hero of his generation.
But the Rakshasa Kingdom can firmly hold a bitter and cold place like the Siberian Khanate, and it is no ordinary person!
Thinking of this, Kangxi turned his head, lowered his tone, and said to Nan Huairen: "Master Nan, do the Siberian Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate both believe in the Tianfang Sect?"
When Nan Huairen heard this, he immediately became excited and nodded quickly: "Yes, both countries believe in the Tianfang religion, but now the state religion in Siberia should be the Orthodox Church."
"Isn't the Orthodox Church also a heresy?" Kangxi said, "The Roman Church is the orthodox one, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Nan Huairen nodded repeatedly.
Kangxi added: "If the Great Mongolia can retake the Kipchak Grassland and the Siberian Khanate, I will support both Buddhism and the Christian Roman Church on these two territories!"
Kangxi spent a lot of money this time!
Because the Catholic Church has always been a colonial accomplice of Spain and Portugal, it has always been suppressed by those in power in areas with relatively high levels of civilization such as East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, not to mention the overwhelming dominance of the Tianfang Sect. West Asia and Central Asia.
Therefore, if Nan Huairen can allow Catholicism to gain a status as good as Buddhism in the Kipchak grasslands and Siberia, then his contribution to the church will be too great. Isn't it easy to be conferred the title of Archbishop of Siberia or Archbishop of the Grasslands?
In addition, Nan Huairen also knew that the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire had always been thinking about Vienna! If a huge Mongolian country that believed in Roman Catholicism could appear behind the Ottoman Empire, could the Sultan still concentrate the power of the entire empire to attack Vienna?
If there is an emergency in Vienna, Nan Huairen can persuade Kangxi Khan to stab the Ottomans in the back. When he meets Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother in the future, he will be rewarded based on his merits, but he will not be able to make a saint?
Once you become a saint, you will have someone like him in heaven!
Thinking that he might be canonized, Nan Huairen quickly crossed himself on his chest, looking like he was crying with gratitude: "The Great Khan is wise, and Heavenly Father will definitely bless you and the Great Mongolia."
"Master Nan," Kangxi said with a smile, "since Heavenly Father has blessed me, as Heavenly Father's servant, shouldn't you help me defeat the heretical Rakshasa Kingdom?"
"Yes, that's right!" Nan Huairen nodded heavily, "Khan, what do you want me to do?"
Kangxi smiled and said: "It's very simple. I just want to lure the Rakshasa army to the Kipchak grassland and inflict heavy damage. Then I can negotiate peace with them and take back all or part of the Siberian Khanate through negotiation. What do you think?"
"The Great Khan's strategy is so clever. Although the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom is vast, the troops that can be dispatched are very limited. If they suffer heavy losses on the Qinchak grassland, they will definitely make concessions in the direction of Siberia. In fact, Their rule in Siberia is not comprehensive, it is just a few castles located at waterway transportation hubs. When their troops are tight and they get enough benefits, they will definitely be willing to make concessions."
"Okay, so what can I do to attract the Rakshasa army to the Kipchak grassland?"
Nan Huairen thought for a while and smiled: "The Great Khan only needs to hide your elite infantry, and then behave like a traditional Mongolian Great Khan."
It was already January 1678 when Yazikov, a close minister of the tsar, and Ibrahim Pasha, sent by the Ottoman Sultan, led two medium-sized missions and arrived at the Tashkent Khan Court of the Mongolian Khan. The grassland was still bitterly cold with ice and snow. Yazikov, who was used to the severe cold in winter, was better off. Ibrahim Pasha, a Turkish man who was born on the coast of the warm Aegean Sea, suffered a lot along the way. In order to avoid the cold, he wrapped himself in a thick leather jacket to look like a real furry bear.
Escorting the two men and the envoy they led from the Aral Sea City built by the Kazakhs and now in the hands of the Golden Horde (that is, the Junggar tribe) along the Syr Darya River was a team that looked a little outdated. Junggar Musketeers - Because Central Asia is separated from the territory of the Ottoman Empire by the Caspian Sea, and the two khanates of Bukhara and Khiva recognized the suzerainty of the Ottoman Sultan, the Ottoman Empire had long ago put advanced match ropes Guns and camel cannon were exported to Central Asia.
The Junggar Khanate learned to make matchlock guns during its interactions with the Mongolian Khanate in Central Asia who believed in the Tianfang religion. Although the Junggar Khanate has a population of several hundred thousand and the scale of its handicraft industry is limited, it has gradually accumulated a cavalry equipped with matchlocks and chainmail by building its own products and purchasing them from cities in the river area. Also known as the Junggar Musketeers by outsiders, they are the main force of Galdan's conquests in all directions.
Now that Galdan has become Kangxi's good friend and has been given the title of Golden Horde Khan, he can naturally get the shotguns that were eliminated by the Qing army, and his musketeers and cavalry are even larger. Almost all Junggar cavalry are equipped with muskets.
In Aral Sea City, Yazikov and Ibrahim Pasha saw the Mongolian cavalry all equipped with matchlock guns, and even saw several bronze cannons mounted on the backs of camels!
The envoys of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire were both surprised. The musketry cavalry was equipped with camel cannons. The Mongol Khan's army was indeed not weak!
It seems that it is normal for the Kazakhs to be so unlucky. If the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire do not intervene, Bukhara and the Khiva Khanate should be over soon, followed by Persia and Siberia.
Although the threat of this Great Mongolia to European Christian civilization and West Asian Tianfang Sect civilization is certainly not comparable to that of Genghis Khan's Great Mongolia in history, both the Ottomans and the Rakshasa Kingdom have their pursuits. The biggest pursuit of the Ottoman Empire at present is to capture Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire! This group of blond and blue-eyed Germans must compensate for the taste of God's whip!
And the Rakshasa Kingdom does not plan to continue to expand now - they seem to be unable to defeat anyone! There are several people around them who are stronger than them. Poland, Ottoman, Sweden, and now Mongolia are all not easy to mess with. The only thing they can rely on is the "Winter General". But the "Winter General" only works on the Rakshasa people's own territory. When it comes to other people's territory, there is no "Winter General". So the top priority for Rakshasa is reform!
And whether it's attacking Vienna or carrying out reforms, doesn't it have to have a stable rear? If there was a "Second Genghis Khan" whipping him behind his back every day with the "Whip of God", no one would be able to bear it!
Therefore, it was the consensus of Ibrahim Pasha and Yazikov to send this group of Mongolians who did not know what was good or bad and thought they were living in the Middle Ages to see their immortality!
And when the two of them arrived at the Mongolian camp around Tashkent, their determination to send the Mongols to see the Immortal Heaven became even stronger!
Because there are so many Mongolians gathered in Tashkent!
One yurt after another covered a large area of wasteland, almost submerging the small city of Tashkent!
Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry that came in and out all had a three-piece set of matchlocks, bows and sabers, and some even had spears. It was difficult to deal with them at first sight!
Of course, it’s just that it’s difficult to deal with, not that it’s impossible to deal with!
If they want to see 20,000 new-style armies and European-style bastions that can play queuing to kill, then there is no way to win quickly. They can only use the stunts of the furry bear - take your time!
In addition, the Mongolians here all bring their families with them, and they also bring countless cattle and sheep! Judging from this posture, they want to settle down behind the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire. No one in this world can ever have a happy life again.
No, this group of Mongols must be dealt with.
When the Rakshasa and Ottoman envoys arrived at the Tashkent camp, Kangxi Khan was in a newly built lamasery in Tashkent. He was not chanting sutras to seek blessings, but came to see the "Bodhisattva" and the blessing of "the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva"!
Fulin is dying!
When he was "crying blood in Yingtai", his health was not very good. I cried face to face with my son Fuquan all day long - regretful! If I had known this, why would I have become a monk? Why go to the west? What kind of Bodhisattva? A real man cannot live without power for a day!
Even if he wants to become a monk, he can still become a monk in the Forbidden City. No delay! You can go to court every day wearing a cassock and banging a wooden fish! Why do you have to go to Mount Wutai and cheat your death?
This was a good time, and even if the ministers below saw him again, they would not regard him as the emperor. He is already dead, he is the late emperor, why is he still jumping around?
And Oboi, who was most loyal to him, was harmed by his treacherous son Xuan Ye early on. His filial son Fuquan later failed to defeat his treacherous son Xuan Ye, causing his wife and children to disappear. Fulin watched his son wash his face with tears every day. His appearance made me feel so sad.
But even though he was already sick, Kangxi didn't dare to let him stay in Beijing. Instead, he took him all the way to Tashkent. Now he couldn't stand it anymore! We are about to go to the Western Heaven. I don’t know if I can go there?
Just when Fulin was calculating the merits and demerits of his life, and the more he calculated, the more he felt that he was likely to go to hell, there was a creaking sound, and the door of the room was pushed open. Fulin turned around and saw several "Mongolians" strutting in.
Fuquan, who was waiting beside his bed, immediately knelt down when he saw the Mongols, and shouted loudly: "My slave Fuquan respectfully wishes to be blessed by the Great Khan!"
Which Khan is this?
Fulin didn't recognize that the person was Kang Mazi, the traitor. Just when he was about to ask a question, the "Mongol Khan" spoke up: "Fuquan, how is the master? Is he going to die?"
It's the treacherous son
Fulin finally knew that the visitor was talking about Kangxi.
Ever since Fulin was imprisoned on Yingtai Island, Kangxi no longer called him Ama, but called him Master - who made him the late emperor? The late emperor cannot walk around casually!
Moreover, everyone inside and outside the Qing court who knew the inside story also agreed that Fulin was the late emperor and everyone did not regard him as a living person!
When offering sacrifices during festivals and festivals, he has a share. Kangxi would also ask Xiao Guizi to send sacrifices to Fulin. Other dead people could not enjoy sacrifices, but Fulin could! Moreover, this sacrifice is very rich, including food, clothing, and a paper-tied beauty who can accompany Fulin to sleep.
Obviously, Kangxi was still very filial to the late Emperor Shunzhi!
So Fulin can go to death with peace of mind. Apart from going to hell, he will receive all the other benefits he deserves!
"Great Khan. That's our Ama!" Fuquan suddenly had an attack at this time, "As a son of a human being, you are not sad at all if Ama is gone?"
Kangxi looked at his brother who was so haggard that he seemed to be about to die, and just snorted coldly: "Ama is gone a long time ago. I just came to see the master for the last time! I was destined to be with him after all, and it is time for our fate to end today." Came to take a look.”
"Sweat you profusely"
Fuquan wanted to say a few more words, but Fulin suddenly shouted: "Obai. Obai, you are here!"
Kangxi was also startled by this yelp.
Now Obai is still in a state of death without a corpse!
Maybe he is really still alive, hiding somewhere, waiting to take revenge on Kangxi!
Kangxi quickly turned around and looked around, almost shouting "Escort", but where was Obei? The room was deserted, and there was no "obeisance" at all.
At this time, Fulin was silent, and Fuquan burst into tears: "Father, why did you leave alone! Please take the child with you. The child is suffering!"
It turns out Fulin is dead!
Kangxi thought to himself: He finally called "Obai". Could it be that Aobai came up from the underworld to pick him up? Although he is ridiculous, he is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty after all. After waiting, he will still have to see Taizu and Taizong. I don’t know what he will say about me, an unfilial son.
Thinking of this, Kangxi sighed softly again and said to Fuquan: "Fuquan, what did you just say? Do you want to go with him?"
Go together?
Fu Quan suddenly felt horrified!
Originally, he and Ama could still depend on each other. If Kangxi wanted to kill him, he would probably force Ama to death together with him and kill his father and brother. Once this precedent was set, there would be no father-son filial piety between the father and son in the Qing emperor's family in the future. !
But now that Emperor Ama no longer has Kangxi to kill him, there is only one brother to kill!
"I, I, I" Fuquan's whole body went limp.
"You should become a monk!" Kangxi said, "You should be ordained and become a monk first. After a while, I will send someone to send you to the Snowy Land to become your teacher. The great lama is Galdan's master. He has high morals and high prestige and boundless power. He will definitely do well." It’s yours!”
Cross me?
Fuquan thought to himself: Transcend me? You must not want to bear the reputation of killing your brother, so you made me a monk first, then let me go to the plateau, and then sent someone to kill me without anyone noticing.
You are so cruel!
Thinking of this, Fuquan had no choice but to breathe a sigh of relief, and then kowtowed to Kangxi and said: "My servant Fuquan is willing to be ordained and become a monk, and to end his remaining life with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng."
