Chapter 818 Guru
When the Khan and his son arrived, Tsepundanba was meeting several lamas.
These people were wearing red robes and half of their arms were exposed. They were all living Buddhas sent from Kulun to the south to preach the Dharma, and later returned to the 6th remnant.
Unlike the other people who returned, these people all returned in a mess. They were captured on the battlefield and were imprisoned for a period of time before they were released.
A lama who had been captured by He Yusheng and questioned the massacre on the battlefield said angrily: "The Han people said it was a country of benevolence and righteousness, but in fact it seemed to be loyal and honest. Before the war at Xiaohekou last time, many herders and armored soldiers were trapped, and the Han laners kept killing people. I persuaded a few words, and someone threatened to kill me if I said more. They did not believe in the Buddhist master and did not respect the Buddhist sons at all. They also said that the Mongols were beasts and barbarians, and I think they were."
The lama looked angry and originally wanted to arouse people's emotions, but after he finished speaking, he felt that even the living Buddha Zhebu Zundan, the elderly lamas looked indifferent, and everyone was thinking.
After a while, Tsepundan said: "There are Russians in the Chechnya Khan tribe. They said that they wanted to settle down in the south of the vast sea, which required land and rivers, and the goodwill of the Mongols."
An elderly lama said: "The people from the north are even more vicious, cruel and barbaric. If I had to choose one side to submit, I would rather choose the Han people."
Another lama said: "If the Han people have no power, the Mongols can only rely on themselves. If the Han people really have power, why not borrow it?"
The Living Buddha Zhebu Zundan nodded slightly and said, "No matter what, we are Chinese people. If there is no big change, it is better to be independent in everything. If we look at the current situation, the tiger and wolf have already forced us to come to the door. Since He Yusheng is really so vicious and able to fight, he will defeat Tumote, Ordos and other troops in a row. It can be seen that he can rely on his strength, so he should choose He Yusheng's side."
"Yes, that's it." An old lama said enthusiastically: "In addition to preaching in Qinghai, I often go to Ningxia and other places in Ming Dynasty. Although we are different from the Han people, they are actually not much different. Many of the believers are Han people. But Russians cannot believe in the Buddha Lord, they are robbers in their bones."
"I used to be a Han man, but now it seems that there is no suitable person to take them. I have seen that Zhang Han when I was in Qingcheng, and he is indeed very talented."
"They never killed our people in the chaos, and this is obvious kindness, and we must seize the opportunity."
When the living Buddha and the lamas discussed that Gunbu and Dorji did not say a word, but listened with a pious look on their faces. At this time, Gunbu said: "According to what the masters said, we will send people to contact He Yusheng's red-robed cavalry, and then see what Zhang Han said."
Zhebu Zundan closed his eyes and said, "They will agree, and this should be an unexpected surprise for them."
Gunbu nodded, saluted his son and stepped back.
After leaving, Dorji said: "If it were the former Han people, we would have to surrender. I don't think they would be so relaxed and would probably go deep into our hinterland."
"It will come sooner or later." Gunbu said helplessly: "In the three divisions, Zasaktu Khan's attitude is vague, but as long as the Han people show their strength, he will definitely surrender. Chechen Khan prefers to trade with the Han people. After surrendering, he will accept it happily. We are alone and powerless."
"Do you want to report to Lin Danhan and ask for help?"
Gonbu said: "Did you forget to fry them?"
Dorji suddenly realized and said, "It is better to surrender to the Han people than to be annexed by the Khan. At least the Han people should not force our herdsmen. They want land and trade, so we will give it to them."
"That's right." Gonbu pondered: "Although we and the Han people are water and oil, they cannot blend together, but at least they know each other. I know what the worst situation is. But for those in the north, I feel that they are more like wolves. If they accept them, they will tear us and the bones into pieces sooner or later."
Dorji said again: "But Zhang Han is a minister of the Ming Dynasty after all. Will the Ming Dynasty court agree to He Yusheng's actions on the grassland? Will there be any changes?"
Gunbu laughed loudly and said, "You have to listen to more stories about the Han people. Zhang Han is now at the moment. Even if he doesn't want to be independent, no matter how broad the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, he will never be able to accommodate the next minister who has mastered most of the grassland."
...
A few days later, Bukhtaiji returned to his own ranch from Kulun. His autumn and winter ranch and station were northeast of Kulun. He arrived two days after riding a horse. The Mongols did not have an accurate mileage range. They generally counted the distance and range of the ranch from morning to night.
Buch is a powerful Taiji. His ranch is more than 70 miles from east to west and more than 30 miles from north to south. It is a larger sphere of influence. In the south, the territory of many small tribes may not be much larger than that of Buch's ranch.
His herders had more than 2,000 male men, and they could mobilize more than 100 armored soldiers when they went to war. The northern desert was barren, and their number of armored soldiers was smaller than that of the tribes in the south. Because they did not have much chance to participate in the Ming Dynasty's horse market, and they had never fought with the Ming Dynasty for a long time to fight Caogu. Therefore, even if our ancestors left many armored weapons, they had been experiencing them for more than 200 years, and what was left was not enough.
After Buch returned from Kulun, he began to mobilize herders and armored soldiers directly, and his ranch was immediately panicked.
A group of generals and armored soldiers stood outside the large yurt in Taiji. The maids and slaves were constantly preparing for the things Buch would go to battle, a piece of silver-shining iron armor, helmets, Sulu ingots and other items.
Of course, there are many living objects. When Bukhtaiji went to war, he would bring more than a dozen servants to take care of his daily life.
As a hereditary Taiji, there are many small felt bags that store items and wealth near the big yurt. The Mongolians live by water and grass. There is no strong Taiji in the north of Mobei except Kulun City. Taiji people are still used to bringing all their wealth with them.
Of course, their most important wealth is the pastures and herds.
Everyone looked at this Taiji worriedly. A veteran general stepped forward and advised: "Taiji, although there are not many people with Yusheng, most of their people are elite. Our number of armored soldiers is not as large as theirs. If the Khan soldiers are of course we will fight with each other, if the Khans have not sent troops..."
"Okay, I'm determined." Buhe said with anger: "Even if no one comes to help me, I will kill all those guys alone."
Everyone was speechless. At this time, smoke and dust were rising in the east, and soon there would be a soldier who would be marching on horseback and report: "Many Taiji led troops to come, maybe to help with the war."
Buhe was overjoyed, looked at his subordinates proudly, and said, "Look, as long as someone leads, everyone is unwilling to be humiliated like this. Hundreds of Han and Yi people dare to rush around in our territory!"
Everyone was silent. Previously, various Taiji families had sent troops to fight the Russians and Han people. As a result, when the Mongols rode their horses and rushed forward and the arrows fell like rain, the opponent's cavalry also collided head-on. The cavalry of the two armies rode their horses to hedge, the Mongols shot archery, the Han and Russians also used muskets, and there were sounds of ping-pong and smells of gunpowder everywhere. The Mongols were all caught in the fire, but not many people were injured. Then the cavalry hedged, and the Mongols had lost their courage and were chased by the Han and Russians with spears and swords and scimitars. Many herders and armored soldiers died on the battlefield. The other side had both courage and combat power, and the armor and weapons were far better than the Mongols. People felt that even if they wanted to take these hundreds of people, they would have to pay at least thousands of casualties. No tribe was willing to bear this result.
The three tribes in Mobei have been peaceful for too long. They only accidentally participated in the war invasion of Ming Dynasty, such as Bahai or Fried Flowers, such as the southern Khan and Taiji people. After decades of peace, not only did the lower classes rarely have any experience in fighting, but the upper classes have also lost their blood. Especially now, the Yellow Sect is prevalent in Mobei. Most of the herdsmen from the highest level to the lower levels believe in the Yellow Sect. Compared with the primitive shamanism, the Yellow Sect is easier for people to accept reality, satisfy the status quo, or not to be enterprising.
The Living Buddhas in Kulun have increasingly powerful power, not only religious but also secular.
By decades and two hundred years later, all the affairs of Outer Mongolia were controlled by the Living Buddhas. The power of the Khan and the princes lies only in their daily management, and the military affairs of the Living Buddhas had been decided.
Several Taiji led more than 300 soldiers to rush in, and Buhe also rode a horse to meet him. His face was full of happy smiles. This time he insisted on his own opinion, and now it seems that he has received everyone's support. This matter was considered to be a bet by Buhe, and he is likely to gain higher prestige and power.
"Everyone..."
Buch immediately opened his arms and made a warm welcome gesture.
However, no Taiji came up to accept his hug. One Taiji pointed forward and shouted with a stern face: "Arrow!"
The sound of the collapsed bowstring immediately sounded, and dozens of armored soldiers shot arrows with their cavalry bows.
Buch was shot all over his body, including his horse, and several followers behind him, and dozens of arrows shot them all in a flash, shooting them into hedgehogs.
Buch fell to the ground, the grass and his blood mixed together. The Taijis were dismissed and stood beside Buch, watching the blood flowing out along the arrow of the iron arrow.
Buch moaned, his whole body was so painful that he couldn't get up even if he wanted to, and his strength quickly lost from his body.
Mongolian bows and arrows lack strength, but within twenty steps, Buch did not pierce armor, and the arrows penetrated deep into the body, shooting bones and injuring internal organs. Buch's body deteriorated sharply and his life was leaving him.
