"I have hundreds of families of Hexi Iron Cavalry to welcome your majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is the letter Mr. Fang asked me to submit to Your Majesty!"
Cao Bianjiao stepped forward to take the letter and inspect it, while Chongzhen stared at Gao Yingxiang with curiosity in his eyes.
Gao Yingxiang was conquered by Fang Zhenghua. Fang Zhenghua mentioned this in his letter to him. After all, it was something the emperor personally explained in Yan'an City, and Fang Zhenghua still took it very seriously.
Gao Yingxiang was one of the leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion of the Shaanxi-Jin people's rebellion in the first year of Chongzhen in history, and the first king of Chuang.
Later, the leader of the Daxi Kingdom, Zhang Xianzhong, and the leader of the Dashun Kingdom, Li Zicheng, both served under him. If he had not died, there would have been nothing to do with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
This was the first time that Chongzhen met this legendary figure in history.
Now that Gao Yingxiang was subdued by Fang Zhenghua, Li Zicheng was taken by Hong Chengchou, Zhang Xianzhong was watched by Man Gui, and the three biggest unstable factors in history were all taken into account, he was relieved.
Moreover, they have already become one hundred households. Among the three, the income is the lowest, but the one who lives the best is the one with the best ability.
"His Majesty!"
After checking the letter, Cao Bianjiao presented the letter to Chongzhen with both hands.
Chongzhen took it and looked at it quickly. After just a moment, he laughed heartily.
Sun Chengzong's heart moved and he said softly: "Your Majesty, but there is news about the remnants of Chahar?"
"Yes, Fang Zhenghua lived up to my high expectations. He led the Hexi Iron Cavalry to intercept the remnants of Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe who had crossed the Yellow River in Huining County, killing thousands of them.
E Zhe and Lin Danhan's several Fujins were all killed. Only a few sergeants escaped. Fang Zhenghua was already chasing them! "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he handed the letter to Sun Chengzong and circulated it to the generals.
At this point, the Chahar tribe is considered dead!
"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I can't wait for one ten thousandth!"
Only then did everyone understand why the emperor had left the remnants of Chahar alone.
It's not that he doesn't care, but that the emperor has already been prepared.
Moreover, the preparations started more than a year ago. It was also estimated that the remnants of Chahar's army would pass by there, and they had been waiting there for a long time. This city mansion was simply appalling.
Seeing that the generals seemed to have misunderstood something, Chongzhen did not explain it. Could he say it was a coincidence?
The Hexi Iron Cavalry is the cavalry that Chongzhen asked Fang Zhenghua to recruit and train in the six counties of Hexi. The cavalry of the six counties of Hexi has been very famous since the Han Dynasty.
They were influenced by the cavalry and archery of the nomadic people, and they were all proficient in cavalry and archery. They were the best source of cavalry in the Western Han Dynasty.
More than a year ago, he asked Fang Zhenghua to train the cavalry. Who knew that more than a year later, the remnants of Chahar Lindan Khan would cross the Hetao Plain diagonally and then cross the river in Huining.
Fangzheng Hua, who was in Dingxi, six counties in Hexi Province, was only three to four hundred miles away from Huining County in the middle. The cavalry arrived in two days. They charged directly after Ezhe crossed the Yellow River and killed Chahar's remnants by surprise.
It can be considered that the Chahar tribe should be exterminated.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang also asked me to bring three gifts to Your Majesty. He said that Your Majesty will be very happy after seeing them!"
"Oh, where's the gift?"
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"
After Gao Yingxiang finished speaking, he waved his hand outside, and several sergeants brought in more than ten boxes of different sizes and divided them into two parts.
"Buddha statue?"
Everyone was stunned when they looked at the items in the first box.
I saw that the Buddha statue was about one and a half feet tall. It shone with golden light under the sunlight, just like the backlight of the Buddha. It looked very majestic.
Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, then stepped forward and looked at it carefully several times, then stepped back to a meter away and circled the Buddha statue several times.
Then he asked someone to lift the Buddha statue and look at the base, and suddenly said: "Maikala?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused again.
He looked up at the clear, cloudless sky, and then at Sun Chengzong, his eyes full of doubts.
The sky is clear and the sun is bright, so why is it dark?
Sun Chengzong retreated to Chongzhen and said softly: "Your Majesty, if this Buddha statue is correct, it should be the golden Buddha enshrined by Lin Dan Khan in the Golden Dome White Temple of Chahanhot City."
Without waiting for everyone to react, Sun Chengzong continued: "This golden Buddha is the Mahakala Golden Buddha made with thousands of gold by Lama Phagpa of the Sakya sect during the reign of Kublai Khan. It is also known as Mahakala.
Mahakala is another name for Mahakara, which means Mahakala. Tibetan Buddhists believe that Mahakala is the angry appearance of Tathagata Mahavairocana when he conquers demons, and is the protector of the Mongolian kingdom.
After it was cast, it was enshrined in Mount Wutai. After Lindan Khan succeeded to the throne, in order to restore the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty, he invited the statue back and built a temple to worship it. He implemented the two rules of government and education, hoping to unify the entire Mongolia.
But the current Mongolian tribes are no longer the former Mongolian tribes. Most of them now believe in the Yellow Sect, which conflicts with the Red Sect of Lin Dan Khan, causing the Mongolian tribes to become alienated and weakening his appeal. "
"As the saying goes, if you succeed, you will have a Golden Buddha, if you fail, you will have a Golden Buddha!"
"But this golden Buddha came at the right time and solved our urgent need!"
Chongzhen also understood and said thoughtfully: "What Sun Aiqing means is that we can use this golden Buddha to make a fuss?"
"right!"
"No matter what purpose Lin Dan Khan invited this golden Buddha back to, he is the protector of the country who was appointed by Kublai Khan.
The current Mongolian tribes are all descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, and they believe in Buddhism. After Tumut is settled, we will build a Buddhist temple to worship him.
Coupled with some other means to declare the kindness of the Ming Dynasty to the herdsmen and eliminate their wariness, it will be much easier! "
"Okay, let's discuss this later. Let's take a look at the remaining two things first!"
A hint of joy flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and then he nodded towards Cao Bianjiao, indicating to open the boxes in the middle.
"Book?"
Looking at the items in the boxes, everyone was stunned again. The remaining boxes were full of books.
Forget it if it is an ancient book, but the cover of the book is obviously very new, no more than a few years old.
But it is definitely not a simple book that Chahar Lindan Khan would carry with him when he fled.
Everyone looked at Sun Chengzong, waiting for Sun Chengzong's answer. Sun Chengzong stepped forward, picked up the top book, flipped through it, and put it down.
"Your Majesty, this is Mongolian writing, I can't understand it! It's better to tell Hu Dawei and Mengruhu to come and have a look!"
Chongzhen nodded. After half a stick of incense, the two of them entered the tent and saluted. At Sun Chengzong's signal, they picked up the book and started reading.
Just a few breaths later, a surprise flashed in their eyes.
Hu Dawei suppressed his surprise and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the Buddhist Tripitaka of Zhangzhong. Translated into Chinese, it is Ganerzhu. It includes one hundred and seventy-eight books in four parts: Vinaya, Sutra, Tantra, and Ku.
The content covers the fields of Buddhism, astrology, medicine, literature and other fields, and brings together the local cultural knowledge of Tibet, which was translated by Lin Dan Khan. "
