Chapter 8 September 18 (4th)

After Sony became a prisoner, he always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. He refused to surrender and was determined to die. He even went on a hunger strike. However, he finally surrendered because Zhezhe personally went to the First Prison in the Capital, and Sony changed his mind.

After the 18th Incident, the Ming Dynasty began to penetrate Japan in a comprehensive and orderly manner, from economy to culture, and then to military. The Ming Dynasty began to take over Japan in an orderly manner. The Military Intelligence Department sent a large number of agents into Japan. They used various identities to cover up, spy on Japan's domestic economic and military intelligence, grasp the actual dynamics of various vassal states in Japan, and even secretly disclosed the intelligence to the uprising troops who resisted the shogunate, helping them not to eliminate the shogunate army and continuously consume Japan's economic and war potential.

Amakusa Shiro, the 18-year-old Japanese young ronin, has now become the leader of the Japanese shogunate, and naturally has also entered the attention of Azuki Yinglong.

This Amanku Shiro is actually a Catholic who is fanatical to God. Most of his subordinates are Catholics. Therefore, he fought very bravely and gradually became a huge conscience in the Tokugawa Shogunate. He also occupied the cities of the two vassal states, including Hime and Hime, and gradually became a big trend!

Zhu Yinglong did not have much favoritism for Catholicism, especially the arrogant Vatican Church, who felt even more favorable. He believed in the motto of "only national is the world". Although Taoism was not prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, its doctrine was not as in conflict with the ruling class. Therefore, he still had a considerable favoritism for Taoism, and he hated Buddhism. Although his current ancestor, Emperor Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, also became a monk, had no favoritism for the light of his head, and he would talk all day long, and he had no favoritism at all, and he did nothing.

Has he really accumulated so many merits when he was a childbirth? Of course, he still respected some great monks, but there were too few such monks among the millions of Buddhist monks, and there were too many bad apples, which naturally caused Zhu Yinglong to have little good feelings for Buddhism. Although he did not have a good feeling, it would be a pity to put such a ready-made tool without using it. Therefore, while eroding Japan, it also increased the output of monks. Japan is also a Buddhist country, which just allows Buddhism and Catholicism to fight well, and he also enjoys a good show!

The war, which originally intended to overthrow the high-pressure rule of the shogunate, changed its flavor in the end, and became a doctrinal dispute between Japanese Buddhism and Catholicism. Religious wars were very cruel, which was incomparable to the interests and party struggles, and eventually turned into a protracted war.

The war lasted for more than two years, and the Japanese people became poorer and poorer. Although the rebel army was weaker, they successfully persisted, which gave the shogunate a heavy blow. The other vassal states could not bear the shogunate rule and the people who were unable to bear the shogunate rule also revolted one after another. The Tokugawa Shogunate was a firefighting captain everywhere, but the bigger the end, the fire became stronger and stronger, and there was a tendency to be connected one by one, which further increased the burden on the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Before taking action against Japan, the Ming Dynasty first had to settle its own backyard. The policy of "to resilient the country first to fight against foreign countries" also depends on the national conditions.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, that is, the first month of 1640, Zhu Yinglong issued an edict, ordering Tibet and Mongolian tribes in the west of the desert to surrender to the central government and hand over the military power within a specified period of time. He also announced that Tibetan Buddhism can only be used to preach and save the world, and will not participate in local governments, nor will it have any army, otherwise the central government will kill by force!

After this edict was issued to the world, the Northwest Army, which had been preparing for war for several years, was immediately unsheathed, showing sharp murderous aura. The border between the Southwest Military Region and Tibet also entered a state of combat readiness and could support all military operations of the Northwest Army at any time.

Judging from the Ming Dynasty's policies towards Mongolian ministries, the central government has made up its mind to take back Tibet's independent regime and abolish Tibet's serf system. Whether it is the Red Cult or the Yellow Cult, it will become a tool of the central government, and they will naturally be dissatisfied. This time the cloud of war truly covers the entire Tibet.

In March of the 13th year, Zhu Yinglong appointed Xiong Tingbi as the general of the Western Expedition, taking charge of military affairs of the Northwest Army and the Southwest Army. Qin Liangyu was the deputy, Lu Xiangsheng was the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, and Zuo Liangyu was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tibet, and launched the most comprehensive war in Tibet.

The army was progressing very smoothly, and the Tibetan army's poor weapons and equipment were no match for the Ming army at all. Zuo Liangyu made all the preparations and advanced rapidly, and immediately rushed to the city of Lhasa.

Zuo Liangyu was even more crazy. Along the way, he would burn as long as it was a temple, and he would gun as long as it was a temple, kill him after robbing it. As long as he was a Buddhist, he would arrest him from any sect. Those who resisted naturally became dead souls under the knife. Now the reputation of "Zuo Yan King" was completely heard in the Tibetan area.

Zuo Liangyu is not a Buddhist, so he kills the lama with a knife, and is not ruthless at all.

The Ming army was powerful, and neither the Yellow Sect nor the Red Sect could organize effective resistance. It was simply vulnerable. Zangpakhan even fled back to Houzang's hometown before the Ming army reached the city of Lhasa. Although the Huang Sect temporarily obtained the regime of Lhasa, facing the tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers and generals under Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, if there were no foreign aid, the city of Lhasa would be destroyed sooner or later.

The fifth Dalai Lama Awang Luosang Gyatso sent a peace talks envoy to request peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, but was rejected by Zuo Liangyu. Unless the fifth Dalai Lama agreed to all the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty, everything would be exempted from negotiations.

How could Awang Luosang Gyatso give up the foundation that Huang Cult had worked hard for hundreds of years to give up, but he could not fight hard. As long as he demonizes Zuo Liangyu's army in the name of religion, he calls on all Tibetans in Lhasa to resist the Ming army.

The Fifth Dalai Lama completely incited the Tibetans' emotions. They attacked the Ming army like crazy. Who is Zuo Liangyu? If someone else led the army, they might hesitate. Zuo Liangyu ignored it at all and directly issued a massacre order to the army. No matter whoever is involved, as long as he attacks the Ming army, he will kill them!

In the battle of Lhasa, not only did the Huang Cult Lama die and suffer countless casualties, but innocent Tibetans believed the childish demonization propaganda of the Fifth Dalai Lama and paid an extremely tragic price. As a result, almost every inch of land in Lhasa City was stained with blood except for the Potala Palace, which Zhu Yinglong once ordered strictly to be destroyed!

Zuo Liangyu's reputation suddenly surpassed the "Hong Tuhuo" and became the number one fierce general in the Ming army. His reputation is probably comparable to that of Lan Yu, the invincible brave general when Taizu founded the country!

In May of the same year, the Southwest Military Region dispatched 50,000 troops to enter Kang District, wiped out Bailitus Dunyuedorji, and occupied Chamdo.

In July, Zuo Liangyu led his army to enter a grand funeral. In August, he captured the Tibetan Bahan and pacified Tibet in September. At this point, Tibet was included in the direct jurisdiction of the central government. In October, the central court established Tibet and Qinghai provinces, established Tibet military sub-districts, and merged into the Southwest Military Region.

After the change of defense, Zuo Liangyu led his army back to Xining and stationed in Qinghai Province.

The following year, under the pressure of the Ming court, Gu Shihan, Mongolian Heshuote tribe, decided to follow the old path of Tuergut tribes and move northward.

Unfortunately, Gu Shihan's move was discovered by the Ming Dynasty. The Northwest Army, Elinchen's unit, and the 30,000 Mongolian army, plus the 20,000 troops of the Xietu tribe in Khalkhatu in Qinghai, which was reorganized by the imperial court, dispatched 100,000 troops to surround the Heshuote tribe. The Ming Dynasty's tentacles had already extended to the Tarim Basin.

Gu Shihan, a special unit of Heshuo, is a smart and knowledgeable person. He immediately ordered the disarming of tribal forces. The powerful Gu Shihan suddenly became the commander of the bare commander!

Once Gu Shihan surrendered, there was no single opponent of the Moxi Mongolian in Moxi, and wherever the troops went, they surrendered one after another!

At the end of the 14th year, the Xinjiang Province was established, and Zhu Yinglong was exactly 30 years old this year!

From ascending the throne to the complete bonding of a broken Ming Dynasty, it became stronger and stronger. It took only fourteen years, and its territory was larger than at any time in the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding powers were either subdued by him or became history, which greatly satisfyed Zhu Yinglong's vanity!

It has been almost five years since Li Xiangjun and Yang Lianying entered the palace. Ordinary palace maids only need four years to leave the palace to get married. Female officials with slightly higher status will stay for at most two more years and must leave the palace to get married. If they do not have special circumstances, they will have to leave the palace to get married in another year.

Five years ago, the two women were so beautiful that the whole country was fascinating. Five years later, the two women were even more beautiful. Not to mention that Zhu Yinglong was slow, he actually knew that the two women's thoughts were probably on him. Logically speaking, accepting two willing beauties is something that many men dream of in their lives, but they don't know how to break the last layer of window paper. After all, Zhu Yinglong called the two women "fuck sister" for five years.

At this time, the palace was not as simple as it was a few years ago. After all, Zhu Yinglong's eldest child was sixteen years old at this time, and the eldest son of the emperor was fourteen years old. The thoughts of the girls also changed subtly. There was no way to stop them, so they could only be downplayed. It was nothing to accept the two girls at this time, but this delicate balance would inevitably be broken.
