Chapter 7 New Year’s Eve Dinner (2)

The past year was also the most intense year of academic debate in the history of the Ming Dynasty. All schools of thought had just finished singing and I was on stage. It was very lively. Major newspapers and publications became the battlefields for these great people to burn wars. Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism, militarism, and even Taoism, which emphasizes tranquility and inaction, and Buddhism, which also emphasizes tranquility and inaction, were also involved. Everyone expressed their opinions on the new policy of the court, and some were welcomed and scolded. The silent smoke filled the entire academic community of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Zhu Yinglong had a great purge on the gentry and Qingliu who opposed the new policy in various places, which was quite as powerful as Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars. For a time, public opinion in the world was in an uproar. Confucianism, which lasted for more than a thousand years and was regarded as the great way of governing the country by kings of all dynasties, suffered the greatest blow.

In fact, rulers of all generations love and hate Confucianism. What they love is some Confucian things that can help them transform the people, make the people willingly work for themselves, and achieve the authority of the Supreme Emperor above them. However, Confucianism emphasizes most benevolence, forgiveness and filial piety. However, these Confucian scholars who are regarded as Guili are the most capable of forgetting their ancestors. For thousands of years, Confucianism has been a fence-headed person, and they will turn to the other end, and even help foreign tribes harm their own people!

Zhu Yinglong had no good feelings for Confucianism, especially during the period of rapid transformation in the Ming and Qing dynasties. If there were not so many Confucian literati who had no backbone sold themselves to the Later Jin Dynasty, even if the Later Jin could conquer the entire Ming Dynasty, it might not be able to manage the world well. At most, it was the Mongol Yuan, and in the end it would return to the white mountains and black waters in shame to live his life, or be destroyed.

However, in response to this kind of academic debate, Zhu Yinglong adopted the practice of suppressing the corrupt scholars and the Qingliu faction and vigorously supporting other academics. However, he firmly controlled the direction of public opinion and criticized the new policy of the court. After all, a new policy and law must be tested by the vast majority of people before it can be finalized. However, if it is slander and unreasonable accusation, it will be suppressed. All newspapers and journals that publish such remarks without authorization will be banned, and there is no sympathy to tell!

Zhu Yinglong also paid enough attention to religious beliefs. Originally, there was a system of management of religious people in the Ming Dynasty. The Monklu Temple in the court was the highest authority for Taoist priests and monks in the world. Now it also supervises these foreign monks and missionaries overseas. Zhu Yinglong is also very vigilant about these foreign priests. These missionaries are not good people, especially many of them are religious fanatics. Logically speaking, Zhu Yinglong should not exclude these believers who believe in God.

After all, the future generations he lived in were an era of freedom of religion. However, if these foreign monks were just helping the world as the Bible says, it would be fine. However, these people were extremely fanatical about secular regimes. Therefore, missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty basically had to go through the "political review" and obtain the documents approved by the Monklu Temple to preach at a certain time and area, and were not allowed to commit crimes. Once discovered by the Ming Dynasty,

Will accept the sanctions of the Ming law, so that many people who hold to let the glory of the Heavenly Father shine on the east earth and let the abominable Eastern monkeys become the slaves of the Heavenly Father were completely blocked from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, Zhu Yinglong still has a relatively open attitude towards some foreigners with special talents. If a nation wants to develop and grow, in addition to the unremitting efforts of its own nation, there is also competition. Competition is the driving force for social progress. The water in the Ming Dynasty is really quiet too

Over time, it not only requires reform of internal mechanisms, but also external stimulation, and even fresh blood is needed. Since it is the Celestial Empire, it must have the Celestial Empire's demeanor to be embracing all rivers. Daming took such a posture and won many talents who were called "heretics" by Catholics in the West, traveling across the ocean, and bringing their families to the Ming Dynasty to try their luck. For a time, Westerners gave the title of "the most enlightened monarch" to the emperor of this mysterious Eastern country.

Zhu Yinglong is always willing to visit the nautical and military talents. Even if what they learn may be incompatible with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later go out. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the economic and military situation of various countries in the world. Through these people, the Ming Dynasty at least has a rough understanding. If it encounters it in a day, it will be better to be prepared and be prepared for any eventuality. Preparing for the future has always been one of the principles that Zhu Yinglong pursues!

After the Netherlands was defeated, although it withdrew from Taiwan, it also made huge compensation and signed a defeat compensation agreement, but the Dutch East India Company obtained the power to trade with the Ming Dynasty. Although the conditions seemed to be much more harsh than Spain, and even Britain and France, which had insufficient tentacles, were not as good as those of Britain and France, but the Netherlands was strong in the Far East and the strength of the old maritime empire was there. Although it was an almost harsh cooperation condition, the thirteen directors of the Dutch East India Company finally voted for the escort agency and passed it with a slight victory of seven to six. Needless to say, the benefits of this agreement to the Netherlands have brought to the Netherlands. The Dutch interests in the Far East did not decrease due to withdrawing from Taiwan, but were strengthened. Due to the Ming Dynasty's strength towards the ocean, the sea from Japan to Taiwan and then to the South China Sea countries

The domain became more calm, pirates almost disappeared, trade continued to increase, and merchant ships between the two sides were almost full every time, which brought considerable profits to the Netherlands. After experiencing huge military compensation to the Ming Dynasty, the strength began to expand rapidly, but it still could not threaten the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch opponent was the rapidly rising old European empire Britain. Now Britain also had a small amount of trade with the Ming Dynasty. The British king also seemed to have noticed that the mysterious Celestial Kingdom had begun to open its doors and began to have frequent contact with the Ming Dynasty. He even ordered the Ming caravan to collect Chinese books and materials to bring them back. European colonists began to shift their eyes from the black Africans and the indigenous Indians in the Americas to a legendary powerful country.

This is a powerful and trembling country. Its army once swept through most of Europe and became a nightmare for European countries. Even the omnipotent Roman Catholic Church can crawl at its feet the most. The mysterious and rich East is where Europeans yearn for it.

Let’s talk about the South Asian countries bordering the Ming Dynasty, Laos, Siam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and other countries, all restored their affiliation to the Ming Dynasty one by one. However, Zhu Yinglong still has no energy to sort out these small countries. As long as they are temporarily obedient, he will not touch them. However, the Mughal Empire of India established by the descendants of the Mongols made Zhu Yinglong feel a little concerned. This country was later opened by the British Empire and finally became a British colony. Instead of being cheap, it is better to be cheaper for himself. However, now it is beyond the reach of the whip, and the Tibet issue is still a very headache.

Speaking of the Tibet issue, we must say that Zuo Liangyu went to the northwest. Although Zuo Liangyu was not from the Northwest Army, his soldiers were all refugees from the northwest. A considerable number of them were border troops in the northwest. Now the three towns in the northwest have long been merged into the Northwest Military Region, and the border troops have been reorganized into a huge group. Although the troops have become unrecognizable, they are still there. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu, a general from Liaodong, integrated into the Northwest Army in a very short time and became a member of the Northwest Army.

Zuo Liangyu is also a military talent, so he naturally knows what Zhu Yinglong sent him to the Northwest Military Region. Although he gave two choices, could he compete with his old boss for the east side? Obviously not, so he chose to go to the northwest, and most of his subordinates were soldiers from the northwest. Going to the northwest was even more like a fish in water.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Wusizangdusi and Dugandusi were established in Tibet. Both of them belonged to the Ming Dynasty's vassal department, which belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Tibetan region was united in politics and religion, and was on a plateau, with barren land, and had always been in a state of complete autonomy. Moreover, the religious battle formations in Tibet were complex and sharp. Due to the different beliefs, it often caused bloody conflicts, even wars between religious people and faith supporters. Moreover, by the end of the Ming Dynasty (of course not now), the struggle between the Bon religion and the Gelug sect (Huang Cult) had reached a point of perseverance. Of course, this was also the same as the Ming Dynasty's central government was busy extinguishing domestic opposition, and had no time to take care of wars that were almost foreign, and the central government was out of reach and had no ability to intervene. As a result, the war broke out naturally.

However, even if the central government of the Ming Dynasty intervenes, at most, it will delay the war for several years. The fundamental problem is that it cannot be solved. The only solution is to dismantle both attacks of the war, disband the army, change the territory and return to the current, establish prefectures, and completely incorporate them into the jurisdiction of the court. Of course, who is willing to hand over the army and power in hand, and be obedient to the people who have no power and power, and are always guarded by the court?

As soon as Zuo Liangyu arrived at the Northwest Military Region, it was like a small stone falling into a calm lake. Although there was not much turmoil, it still caused ripples.

The Tibetan region is divided into former Tibet and later Tibet. The political and military center of the former Tibet is Lhasa, the base camp of the Gelug Sect. The ruler of the later Tibet was the feudal lord of the Karma Kagyu Sect. The family of the family established the Disizangba Danjinwangbo (called the Tibetan Bahan at that time) in the later Tibet. The capital city of Shigatse, with extreme hatred for the Gelug Sect and vowed to destroy the monasteries such as Gandan, Drepung, Zhengla and Zashlunpo Monastery established by the Gelug Sect, and formed an alliance with the Belitus Dunyuedorji in northern Tibet. The Tibetan Bahan quickly gained the rule of the entire Tibetan area (it seemed to be Wanli at that time.

The emperor had already accused of this regime and was unable to stop it from appearing. Under the tremendous pressure of the two major military groups, Luosangquji (later Panchen Lama) and the fifth Dalai Lama had to look for powerful and reliable allies outside. They originally wanted to rely on the alliance between the Chahar Mongol tribe to fight against the alliance between Zangba Khan and Dunyuedorji. What was hateful was that Lin Danhan changed his belief in the Red Cult. After the plan failed, Luosangquji and the Dalai Lama had to find new allies again. They chose Tulu Hubai, the young leader of the Hoshuot Monarch who was stationed in Xinjiang, who was stationed in the maid of the Xinjiang region.

Tulu Hubai: The Mongolian language is talented and intelligent. Gu Shihan had become the leader of the Heshuot tribe at the age of thirteen. He was extremely talented and courageous, and had excellent martial arts and cavalry. He once led his army to defeat more than 40,000 foreign armed troops, so he "realized his reputation and was invincible." At the age of 25, his mother Ahaidun passed away. He held a grand funeral for his mother, taking the opportunity to distribute a large amount of money and property to the tribes and win the support of the tribe. In the 34th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Heshuot Mongolia fought against the Khalkha Mongolia on the Mongolian Plateau. This war of war brought great disaster to the people of both sides.

Difficulty and pain. At this critical moment, Gu Shihan stood up without fear of hardships and dangers. He only led a few Khan Zhang, who came to Khalkha Mongolia boldly, and explained the righteousness. Finally, the two sides turned war into jade and ended the war peacefully. Due to his prestige and talent, he was unanimously respected by representatives of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, representatives of Dongkor Living Buddha, who were in contact with all Mongolian tribes, and the leaders of various Khalkha tribes, and presented them with the title of "Great National Master". From then on, Turubaihu became famous for his "Gu Shihan" (the resounding of Gu Shihan as the national teacher).

Hsot, Junggar Mongolia and the migratory roads of the Russian Velat, Turgut and Dulbert Mongolia all belong to the Montenegro tribes of the Montenegro.

The actions of Dalai Fifth in Luosangquji were carried out in secret, but these were not hidden from the eyes of the Intelligence Department. Several monks disguised as other sects took Secret to Weilath and handed Secret to Gu Shihan, the leader of the four Secrets, the Khan of the Khan of the Heshuot tribe, hoping that he would assume the important task of a new generation of Dharma Kings to save the Huang Cult.

At this time, Weilat had many internal conflicts. The Turhute tribe had moved far away from the Volga River. The strength of Baturhute tribe of the Junggar tribe was enhanced. He no longer believed in the Hoshute tribe, the leader. In addition, the population was reproductive and the prosperity of the herds, the original pastures were unbearable.

Gu Shihan, who was considering the livelihood of Heshuote, received a secret letter from the Fourth Dalai Lama and the Fifth Panchen Lama. It was like a long drought and rain. In addition to religious reasons, the Qinghai water and grass are rich, and it is also a commercial channel for trade between the Central Plains and Weilat, and there are abundant commercial profits. Whether in terms of superstructure or economic foundation, sending troops seems to be a good choice.

If it were the Wanli Dynasty or the Tianqi Dynasty, Gu Shihan might immediately agree to the request of Luosang Quji and the Fifth Dalai Lama. However, now the Ming Dynasty has changed to a relatively strong emperor. After all, Wu Sizang is still the nominal ruling Dusi of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has been in name only, if it rashly sends troops, it will give the Ming Dynasty an excuse to provoke a war. If the Ming Dynasty intervenes, it will be a different situation. Without absolute certainty, Gu Shihan is very brave, but he has not thought of directly confronting the Ming Dynasty.
