.In the cold tent, Galdan and the seven or eight Junggar tribes of Gui misunderstandings with the surrendered leaders of Monan, Mowosheng tribe, Ujibek, etc., sat quietly inside. When they stepped forward, eight burly lamas in red clothes lined up and kept reciting awkward scriptures. At the top, an old living Buddha sat cross-legged. The living Buddha lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something. There was a sacred and inviolable majesty between his eyebrows.

Suddenly, the living Buddha opened his eyes, his voice was low, speaking in Tibetan, and his eyes fell on Junggar: "The fattest pasture should be given to the strongest warriors and the greatest hero, Galdan, Tara selected you to become the lord of any land with green grass

Many nobles and tribal leaders in the tent were incomprehensible Tibetan language, one pound, and they all had a lot of confusion. However, they understood that the weight of the speaking lama was Awang Luosang Gyatso, the fifth-generation living Buddha. This time, he came from Tibet and specially appointed Galdan as Danjin Boshuoketu Khan. In fact, the tribal leaders in the tent each had their original beliefs, some believed in shamans, some believed in Allah, but in this Xuan, no one dared to express any disrespect to the living Buddha. And this reason was naturally Galdan.

Galdan was sent to Tibet to study Buddhist principles since he was a child. He highly praised Lamaism. Others would not listen to it. He, a young "lama" who has lived in Tibet for more than ten years, could understand it. He hurriedly said: "I wish to honor Tara and the master's decree."

In Tibet, there is such a famous goddess who is enthusiastically worshipped by the general public. Both monks and laymen, they worship her statue devoutly. People call on her name and recite her mantra as famous as the six-character mantra "Om Mani Ba Flavor" "Om, Dale, Dudale, Dule, Shuha". Visualize her kind and beautiful image and worship her devoutly. In troubles and disasters, people call for help; in pain and sorrow, people talk to her; in happiness and joy, people share it with her. Good men and women all believe in and worship this goddess, and she will carefully protect you and give advice from her, and when she is born to death, she will protect you and guide you until her death. This goddess is Tara, also known as Tara Bodhisattva.

Tara has an extremely high status in the minds of Tibetan monks and lay people. Tibetans even regard her as their ancestor. Many Tibetan poems, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva transformed into monkeys, combined with Tara, who turned into Rakshasa women, gave birth to descendants and gradually reproduced into Tibetans.

Therefore, if we say that the most respected gods and Buddhas in the Lama religion are probably this Tara, and the Lama claims to be the incarnation of Tara. Therefore, the living Buddha said that Tara chose Galdan. In fact, after all, it was the fifth-generation living Buddha Awang Luosang Gyatso who chose Galdan.

"Okay, prepare to pray for blessings from Leng Galdan." Awang Luosang Gyatso had no expression on his face, and the two lamas beside him carefully helped him up. Galdan also stood up, and the other noble leaders also stood up. After the living Buddha came out of the gold tent, he came out one after another.

Outside the golden tent, five hundred lamas who followed the living Buddha out of the treasury stood in the cold wind, surrounded by their four Rans and many herders.

Hundreds of colorful flags, prayer flags, and treasure banners had already stood up, fluttering in the cold wind. The monks and deacons were dispatched and took their own steps. But when they saw the trumpet flags waving, hundreds of people interspersed and interspersed in an orderly manner. As the living Buddha walked out of the golden tent, the Junggar herdsmen who surrounded them had always believed in the Lamaism. They skillfully sang praises of the string dance tune. One or two sentences, and two beats between each paragraph.

Singing Qianhe, the atmosphere is warm.

The living Buddha was wearing a red cassock with golden silk and patchwork. The material was made of Huzhou satin, which was famous all over the world. It was dazzling and had a sturdy momentum. This was the robe he had when he arrived in Beijing. The robe he gave to Shunzhi. At that time, the fifth generation was already an old man in his sixties, and half his life was quietly stormy. His beard was dyed white too early and several wrinkles were deeply carved on his forehead. His eyebrows were sparse, his eyes were deep, his slightly drooping mouth and his slightly leaning body showed his broad wisdom and compassion for all living beings. Seeing that the arrangements were organized, especially the paintings on the colorful flags were both creative and decent, he nodded in praise to Galdan, who slowly came out of the golden tent and stood beside him. Galdan pursed his lips, and the most glorious mystery in his life finally came.

Because a Lama, a deacon, who was accompanying him along the way to leave the Tibetans, passed away, and because of this, before praying for blessings, the first thing to do was to place the Dharma body of respect. The so-called Dharma body of respect is to place the corpse of the monk for treatment and to place a dead body before praying for blessings. Galdan had no objection. In the Lamaic religion, it was also a very blessed thing to see the Dharma body of the monk. He waited with interest, but was quite expectant.

There is another rule here. If the monk and living Buddha pass away when they are placed in a respectful Dharma body, it is commonly known as "double-crossing and transforming into the form of equal enlightenment". It is the most auspicious. However, for various reasons, not all of them can hold this position, so it is necessary to help complete it. The method is to wait until you stop breathing, insert a pre-prepared thick, thin, long and short wooden stick, a sharpened wooden stick, from the anus, stick the back spine into the back bone, straighten the upper body, and then cross your legs in a sitting position. One or two days later, red and white nose fluid begins to flow out, called Bodhi water, which indicates success in transformation. After the time is done, cremation is carried out, and placed in the spiritual tower is equivalent to a merit dagger ""

In a hurry, amid the sounds of monks chanting scriptures and yellings around, four monks climbed the ladder to lift the wooden box onto the protective frame, and then carried the Dharma body of the living Buddha who died of illness and died of illness from the box and placed it in the reserved space. Everyone saw the living Buddha's face as if he was alive, wearing new clothes, and sitting in shackles, and all praised and bowed.

Then the main priest casts a magic spell to summon the soul. The fifth generation ** wore a Grufa crown on his head, sang a magic bell in his hand, recited a mantra three times, and asked the soul to return to his body. Two attendants, lamas, carried an incense burner and followed him. At the same time, the sheepskin drum and leg bone horn sounded rapidly, and invited the wandering soul to return to his body to wait for the protection and moth to obtain great liberation.

The famous deacon waved the red flag in his hand, and the drum and horn paused. The fifth generation took a precious sandalwood from a servant and walked into the Humo Hall. He lit it on a bowl of mahjong lamp, then stepped out and raised the fire stick over his head, muttering words. Then he placed it in the gap under the mahjong rack, and threw it into the Humozha with the sacrificial text. As the flames soared into the sky, the mahjong horns, big and big copper coins, and the sheepskin mahjong drum that beat like raindrops, burst loudly and burst suddenly, which was fascinating.

Galdan was fascinated by the shamans and Islamic leaders behind him were stunned and frowned casually. They always felt that it was inappropriate to save a corpse at this time. At this time, a guard hurriedly rode over and got off the horse outside the crowd. The herdsmen who were observing the rituals avoided the road. When the guard saw the Buddha performing the rituals, he couldn't help but run away. After thinking for a while, he walked carefully to Galdan and said with his ears: "Khan Dan, the envoy of the Han people is here."

Galdan frowned: "I don't see you now. The living Buddha is practicing the Dharma, let them wait a moment

The guard nodded, but a sound came from a distance, which was very loud and disturbed the mysterious ritual: "The envoy of the Daming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Daming Dynasty, arrived by the Emperor of the Daming Khan, and the vassal minister Galdan came out to greet him."

The ritual couldn't help but pause. Hundreds of lamas stopped reciting Buddhist scriptures. Even the living Buddha who casts magic and summons the soul suddenly stopped. After being disturbed, he really couldn't continue. The herdsmen watching the side couldn't help but buzz, but Galdan couldn't help but hold the hilt of the knife in anger: "Damn the Han dog."

"At last, Tian Wenkang came on a fast horse with a hundred escorts. He sighed in his heart. When he arrived at Mulijiwei, he immediately heard that Tibet might arrive in the south of the desert in the near future, and a ceremony of enfeoffment would be held. Tian Wenkang immediately abandoned the carriage and rode the fast horse and took the escorts to the south of the desert. He understood that so far, Kougeldan is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. However, once he accepted the enfeoffment of the Lama, it means that the Junggars had openly separated from the Ming Dynasty's vassal system, which was a great blow to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty could not respond immediately and carry out conquests, I am afraid that the vassal system established by the Ming Dynasty in the South, Beiyang and even the Indian Ocean would have a great crisis of trust. If the first one is the first, there will be a second pound." Everyone thought that if they were separated from the vassal system, they would not suffer revenge, so the prestige of the Ming Dynasty might be

It is necessary to stop it. In fact, Tian Wenkang is not very sure whether Galdan can change his mind. If he fails, it will probably be difficult to get out of Mongolia. However, when he thinks of the appointment, Tian Wenkang can only bite the bullet and treat it as a living horse.

"The envoys of the Great Ming Dynasty, who were in the Ming Dynasty, and the commander of the Heavenly Khan arrived. The vassal Galdan went out to welcome Tian Wenkang to see that no one came out to greet him. This was the golden tent in the south of the Mo River. Unlike other yurts, there were some small buildings inside and fences on the outside, which were similar to the military camp. The Mongols in those fences did not react at all, and the entourages began to scream again.

Finally, a Junggar captain came out with a cavalry, roared and swung around the Han envoys with fast horses, unsheathed the scimitar in his hands, and roared with provocative sensation.

The entourages behind Tian Wenkang pulled out the short luck on their waists one after another, but Tian Wenkang was quite calm. He understood that these Junggars were here to demonstrate to him at all. If they were to chop and kill, how could they do so many fancy moves? Tian Wenkang calmly said to the entourage behind him: "Put down the weapon."

The entourage cavalry unwilling to lower the Fire Order. Seeing that the intimidation was unsuccessful, the Junggars lost interest. The little leader stopped the horse and asked arrogantly: "Who are you? Why are you yelling in front of the tent of the sweat?"

Tian Wenkang said: "Who are we? Don't you know about Galdan and you? I came to the decree of Galdanbu, under the order of Emperor Ming, the general ruler of the Khan outside the pass, and ordered him to Galdanbu, where is your Khandan? Why don't you leave the tent to greet me?"

The little leader couldn't help but be stunned. When talking, he was certainly not a match for the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. After a moment of silence, he said, "We Khan Dan are watching the Tibetan Master Dache pray for my Junggar tribe. You are waiting here. When the ceremony is over, we Khan Dan will naturally meet you."

Tian Wenkang hurriedly went deep into the tiger's den, in fact, just to destroy the enthronement of Galdan. How could he be willing to wait after the ceremony, and shouted: "I am the imperial envoy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever the imperial envoy goes, it is like the emperor's presence. Galdan is so negligent, is he trying to betray the alliance and be an enemy of my Ming Dynasty?"

This made the little leader feel confused. If he nodded this head, I'm afraid these men will leave in a blink of an eye, then that would also mean

"   The relationship between Yongdiao and the Junggar tribe was officially in hostility. He could not bear such a thing." The dagger couldn't help but weaken a little: "You are waiting here. I'll go in and report."

When the Mongolians returned to the fence, the rotten wood fence gate immediately closed, leaving only Tian Wenkang and others. Tian Wenkang looked worried and whispered to the escort officers who followed him: "Galdan is capricious and now he has hidden here. I believe he has a plan. Once the Galdan is enacted, my Great Mingtian Army may not be able to fight. You will go to the tiger's den with me and you may have to sacrifice your life."

Several officers nodded slightly and looked at Tian Wenkang with resolute eyes. The civil servants were not afraid of death. What else do they care about?

Tian Wenkang thought for a while: "If it is urgent, I will give you the right to be arbitrary. If Galdan insists on accepting the imperial decree from **, then after entering, you will seize the opportunity and try to capture ** as much as possible. If you cannot capture it alive, Tian Wenkang made a ruthless move to wipe his neck. Along the way, Tian Wenkang saw too many tragic phenomena. The whole pass was tormented by people outside the pass, which made him even more disgusted with these alien races outside the pass. Now, in order to gain time, he would rather capture the ** than let the ** conferred the natural enthronement of Galdan. At that time, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have no way out except declared war.

After a while, the little leader rode his horse out again. This time, he did not bring the cavalry and went to Tian Wenkang alone and gave a chest salute: "Han Dan invites you in."

Tian Wenkang frowned. According to the rules, Galdan should have come out to welcome the angels in person, but the rules are just to behave in a manner. At this point, if you walk too far, you will be out of control. He nodded and looked at the officer behind him. His eyes were very meaningful, and then he ordered: "Let's go in."

In front of the golden tent, the prayer ceremony continued, and the fifth generation returned to Galdan. He did not participate in the following ritual. The lamas in lama uniforms lined up in various arrays, carrying colorful flags, prayer flags, and treasure banners back and forth. While reciting scriptures, they were filled with mysterious worship.

Galdan was very close to ** station, and the two were whispering in Tibetan. At this time, the Han envoy suddenly arrived. I am afraid that even idiots knew the purpose of the Han envoy. It was just a blessing ceremony. Should the enthronement ceremony be held?

Galdan was willing to do this. Mobei's conquest was as fast as he expected. From all over the world to the south and south, the northern part of the desert had become his territory. Hundreds of tribes became vassals of the Junggar people. Galdan recruited nearly 100,000 Hui people from these tribes. Mongols and Kazakhs in the south and north of the desert have now reached 200,000. With the help of **, he really was unwilling to continue to endure it.

The Lama was worried about Zhong Zhong. He supported Galdan, but in fact, it was not because of Galdan's powerful power, but because of Galdan's worship of Tibetan Buddhism. It can be said that wherever the Junggar people went, the Lama's power also followed one after another, abolishing the religion of the tribe and establishing Lama propaganda among the tribes. He and Galdan can be said to be in mutual use. Galdan needs the influence of **, and ** needs to rely on the power of Galdan to complement each other.

But for the Ming Dynasty, the smart Lama knew that this was definitely not a force that could be slapped. Once this giant is overwhelmed, can Galdan really resist? I am afraid that his chance of winning is less than 10%, but the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards him was a subterranean compared to the devout Galdan.

After Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and became emperor, he immediately adjusted his policies to Tibet. First, the Ming Dynasty abolished the Yuan Dynasty's system of using Tibetan religious leaders as "imperial teachers" in the palace. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the situation in which the Tibetan religious groups in the Yuan Dynasty, which were "imperial teachers" had huge political influence and political and religious privileges in the Central Plains political system no longer existed, which was also the decline of Tibetan Buddhism.

.

The Ming Dynasty then gave up the practice of the Yuan Dynasty's solemn favor and simply supporting a certain general political force as its agent for ruling and managing Tibet. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of "multiple feudalism and construction" in Tibet. That is, the main sects and local forces in Tibet were divided into feudals, and through the form of hereditary, hereditary, substitute and tribute, they were directly connected to the central government, thus directly with the Ming Dynasty's establishment of concubines. Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty did not exercise its rule and management of Tibet through direct support and support of Tibet's local governments like the Yuan Dynasty, in a sense, the political connections maintained by the Ming Dynasty with various sects and local forces in Tibet were much wider than those of the Yuan Dynasty.

This method is to deliberately put Tibetans in a split, and to give certain support to all sects of Tibetan Buddhism. The Ming Dynasty gave them all efforts to weaken Tibetan Buddhism.

quantity.

This practice seriously damaged the interests of generations of Lamas. By the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Tibetans gradually began to take the initiative.
