Without equal strength, there can be no equal negotiations.
Huo Lin had experienced the war with Timur and knew that negotiations were based on strength.
Daming and Wuszang, in terms of strength, Daming has an absolute advantage, even if this is a plateau area.
But there is an obvious problem. These eminent monks, living Buddhas, and Tishes in Uzang have no idea how powerful the Ming Dynasty is...
If Timur knew that Ming's firearms were so powerful, he probably wouldn't have tried his best to fight against Ming.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If you put it here, it means that Uzang is not afraid of the Ming Dynasty. The summary is: I don’t know how scary the tiger (the Ming Dynasty) is.
Huo Lin decided to let the tiger show off his power and make these guys sober up. Don't forget that each of them is an eminent monk who still has a vague understanding of the Ming Dynasty.
Thumbs up, Huo Lin adjusted the angle of the tiger crouching cannon and stared at the thick pitchforest pine forest in the distance. After making sure that no one was there, he took out the fire fold from his arms and said in a low voice: "You'd better pray. This sound has become a dead ringer.”
Harima and Drakpa Gyaltsen's expressions changed slightly.
Kunze Siba, Tsongkhapa, Deyin Sheba and others looked on without knowing why.
Hou Xian and Chen Cheng took two steps back and covered their ears.
The gunpowder bomb was put in, the fuse was ignited, and with a dull sound of gunpowder, the gunpowder bomb flew up in the astonished eyes of everyone, crossed a graceful arc, and landed in the pitch pine forest, followed by a huge roar. With a loud sound, a pitch pine tree snapped, more branches broke, and leaves fell one after another!
Harima shook his head in shock, looking intently into the distance. The destruction occurred only a moment after the loud noise!
This is the Ming Dynasty’s Crouching Tiger Cannon!
The corners of Drakpa Gyaltsen's mouth twitched, as if he was having a spasm.
The Crouching Tiger Cannon caused countless cheers when it came out during the military parade. I heard that the Ming Dynasty used it many times on the battlefield!
Looking at this power, if it exploded among the crowd, I'm afraid everyone would be dead.
firearm!
Powerful firearms, powerful Ming army!
Drakpa Gyaltsen did not deny that he did not want the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops, but what could he do to stop the Ming army?
wake up!
There is nothing the Emperor of Ming Dynasty decides that he cannot do. He is the ruler of the world and possesses the most terrifying power in the world! The most terrible thing is that he is still very young and has a lot of time and energy to do what he wants to do...
If he wants to garrison troops in Uzang, he will definitely garrison them.
Drakpa Gyaltsen read through the Ming Dynasty's foreign war classics. Basically, he fought once and occupied one territory, Annan, Ryukyu and Western Xinjiang. The territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded again and again. What is incredible is that this expansion did not drag down the territory. The Ming Dynasty's national power actually made them stronger!
Especially the miraculous steam engine, which is completely mechanically powered, is simply beyond human imagination. The Ming Dynasty had already used machinery to manufacture machinery, but what about Uzang?
The lords, big and small, each fought over slaves and territory. They were still holding shabby weapons and didn't even have decent armor. What could they use to fight against the Ming Dynasty?
Now bow your head and let the Ming army garrison like they did during the Yuan Dynasty. It's good for everyone. If Zhu Yunwen sends a large army to conquer, I'm afraid everything in Uzang will be overthrown and restarted, and the monks may become slaves!
I, Drakpa Gyaltsen, don’t want to be a slave. I want to be the strength in Zhu Yunwen’s hands, not Zhu Yunwen’s enemy!
Kunze Siba, Tsongkhapa and others walked towards the pitch pine tree. They looked at the three-inch pit on the ground, the crooked pitch pine tree, a fallen branch, and broken leaves all over the ground. They were all frightened.
"What power is this?"
Deyin Sheba was a little shocked and his lips turned white.
Tsongkhapa looked at this scene solemnly, his hands trembling slightly, and he looked at his disciple Sakyamuni Yeshi on the side: "Have you ever seen such a powerful weapon?"
Shakyamuni Yeshi shook his head: "As soon as this thing comes out, the physical body will be destroyed in just a moment. No one can stop it."
Tsongkhapa looked at the pine tree that had been directly blown apart. It was only supported by a little bark and did not fall to the ground. There were still traces of fire in the broken parts.
"I'm afraid this is the real reason why Harima summoned us."
Tsongkhapa understood Harima's difficulties. He would never betray Uzang's interests easily and allow the Ming Dynasty to oppress Uzang. But looking at it now, Harima has no other choice at all!
Leader Balji Jianzang lamented and thought silently: How powerful is the Ming Dynasty?
Huo Lin came over, full of regret, and said with some pain: "Hey, the Tiger Crouching Cannon is still far behind the divine machine cannon. What if it was a divine machine???????????????? If the cannon is pulled over, several trees around here will probably be broken..."
Tsongkhapa almost tripped, Kunzesiba's eyes widened, and several other important figures were also shocked.
what's the situation?
According to Huo Lin, the Crouching Tiger Cannon is not the most powerful firearm of the Ming Dynasty. Is there anything more powerful than this?
Deyin Shepa looked at Harima and Drakpa Gyaltsen who were approaching.
Harima did not hold back, but said frankly: "You have not gone to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and have not encountered the military parade of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. What I can tell you is that the army of the Ming Dynasty is changing towards firearms. What are firearms? It’s something like a Crouching Tiger Cannon, they can shoot enemies directly from a long distance away.”
"Isn't it just a bow?"
asked a disciple.
Harima glanced at it and said coldly: "Firearms are different from bows. A bow can only kill one person at a time, but a firearm can kill multiple people at a time. A bow requires a lot of strength. Once the strength is exhausted, it will no longer have fighting power. Firearms All you need to do is fill up the gunpowder and gunpowder bombs, light them, and you can fight for half a day without getting tired!"
Drakpa Gyaltsen looked at the people who still didn't understand, and added: "The Ming army has a lot of squatting tiger cannons like this!"
Huo Lin interjected: "Not many, just 200,000 doors."
"Two hundred thousand?!"
Harima's jaw almost dropped, Drakpa Gyaltsen almost fainted, crazy Ming, why are you making so many!
Hou Xian and Chen Cheng looked at the frightened monks and got together.
"Do we have 200,000 Tiger Crouching Cannons?"
"I do not know."
"I feel like Huo Lin is bragging. Look at his nose."
"Have it?"
Chen Cheng looked and saw that the guy's nose moved again, and he couldn't help shouting: "Huo Lin, the court has two hundred thousand tiger cannons that need to be kept secret. How come you don't even know about this? Do you still want to keep the court's possessions secret?" Do you also tell them about the One Hundred Thousand Divine Machine Cannon?"
"ah--"
Huo Lin was dumbfounded.
My dear, you really dare to brag about the Hundred Thousand God Machine Cannon...
quack--
A flock of crows flew over.
Hou Xian quickly covered Chen Cheng's mouth and looked at everyone apologetically: "What, what they are talking about is all nonsense. The Ming Dynasty does not have two hundred thousand tiger squatting cannons, nor does it have one hundred thousand divine machine cannons. Don't worry, there is absolutely no such thing." …”
Wronged.
Hou Xian felt aggrieved. What he said was all the truth. Why didn't all the eminent monks believe him?
You are all eminent monks!
Harima and Drakpa Gyaltsen believed what Huo Lin and Chen Cheng said. Many firearms were displayed in the Ming Dynasty military parade. They heard that countless firearms were used when beating Timur.
Think about it, how could Timur fail so easily? It must have been destroyed by a large number of firearms. It is estimated that the Ming Dynasty had only one firearm. In the battle of Qamdo, the Ming Dynasty should have sent three to four hundred thousand troops!
According to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the national power of the Ming Dynasty, and the respect for firearms, how can it be justified without hundreds of thousands of firearms...
That must be it!
Kunze Siba feels his throat is dry. There are hundreds of thousands of firearms, and the entire Uzbekistan has a population of less than one million. Aren't you bullying others?
Tsongkhapa did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would possess such a large-scale firearms!
A firearm and one gunpowder bomb can destroy a small area. If there are enough gunpowder bombs, wouldn't it be possible to cover an area?
This Buddha is Shakyamuni, how can we reject the Ming Dynasty?
Deyin Xieba smiled bitterly. Is this Ming Dynasty really so powerful?
After sitting down again, everyone was silent.
Huo Lin looked at Tsongkhapa and said with a straight face: "The master asked before, what will happen if Uzang rejects the emperor? Now I can answer you, rejecting the emperor means rejecting peace. The emperor is lenient and will not We hope to see people in ruins, and we will strive for every possibility to peacefully promote the Ming army to station in Uzang."
Chen Cheng echoed: "Yes, we cherish peace and are ready to garrison in Uzang at any time. The emperor knew that there was miasma on the plateau and specially arranged tens of thousands of soldiers to garrison Congling. Now they have fully adapted to the alpine climate."
Congling? !
Tsongkhapa and Kunzesiba felt a little trembling.
To the north of Uzang, there used to be Yilibaoli Kingdom, but now in Xijiang Province, there are only a few places with miasma. Congling is indeed similar to the situation in Uzang. If the Ming army adapts to Congling environment, it must be able to adapt to Uszang!
This also means that the Ming army can conquer Uzang at any time and launch a war at any time. If Uzang refuses the emperor...
Deyin Xieba was dejected and asked helplessly: "Does the Ming Dynasty give us a choice?"
Hou Xian smiled and replied: "I think there is. At least you can choose peace instead of others."
Harima looked at the disappointed people and said calmly: "Why are you resisting the Ming army's entry into Uzang? Is it because you are worried that the Emperor of Heaven will interfere with the Buddhist temple and disturb the status quo of Uzang. I think this matter can be discussed. , we can send a special envoy to the capital to make an agreement."
Tsongkhapa pointed out bluntly: "Some agreements cannot bind people. If the Ming Dynasty garrisoned the army, it would be tantamount to directly controlling Uzang. Then who has the final say in Uzang in the future?"
Huo Lin laughed, stared at Tsongkhapa and said, "Master thinks that if the imperial army is not allowed to enter, after a year and a half, who has the final say about Uzang?"
Tsongkhapa stood up: "You are threatening us!"
Huo Lin spit, stood up, and said tit for tat: "Yuan Ting can garrison troops, but Ming Dynasty can't? If you refuse Ming Dynasty to garrison troops, no problem, we will set off back to the capital now to resume our duties. Please take care!"
