Chapter 612: Tuning the Tiger (2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Nanjing Xianfu Palace, a beautiful woman cried so hard that it made people heartbroken.

The inner body is deep, and the tears are flowing. The beautiful woman sheds tears, and the king's soul is broken. My beauty, I myself feel pain. Bo Qing's smile is the door to happiness.

Erdeni Bemba, the wise concubine of the Ming Dynasty, cried very sadly. When he cried, Zhu Hengjia felt very distressed. He softly advised: "My dear concubine, people cannot be resurrected after death. You should take good care of your body, even if you don't care about me."

, you should also take care of your daughter."

As if hearing her father's words, the infant princess Zhu Huiyu also cried loudly.

When Erdenibemba saw his daughter crying, he stopped crying and turned from mourning to sobbing.

No, this way of crying is the most harmful to the body. My dear wife, this is a heart disease, and she needs heart medicine.

A while ago, news came from the snowy region: Concubine Xian's biological uncle, Manzhu Xili, King of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, died in the war. The family had broken bones and tendons. Manzhu Xili had been very fond of Erdeni Bemba since he was a child.

Okay, how can I not be sad?

"King Shunyi is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He should be posthumously named a prince and given the posthumous title of 'Yi'", Emperor Guangwu said.

Hearing this, Erdenibemba burst into tears.

Seeing that this move effectively soothed the wounded heart of his beloved concubine, Emperor Guangwu kept trying again and again, "The son of Manzhu Xili and the prince of Shunyi, the heir to the tower, will be hereditary."

Seeing that the throne of her uncle's lineage was hereditary, Concubine Xian finally stopped crying.

Looking at his beloved concubine's red and swollen eyes from crying, Zhu Hengjia was heartbroken. He held her in his arms, comforted her tenderly, and rewarded her with a large number of rare treasures, including silk and satin, which finally made the beauty smile.

Just after comforting Xianfu Palace, Concubine Ning from Changchun Palace also started to cry. The little girl was also born in the Horqin tribe and was also the niece of Manzhu who practiced rituals. Her sadness was the same.

I had no choice but to spend a long time trying to appease Concubine Ning.

Most feudal emperors are like this. They regard their family as their country, and no matter how big their affairs are, they are no bigger than my family affairs!

His Majesty Emperor Guangwu was busy appeasing the backyard, so he left matters concerning the snowy region to the Governor of Qinghai-Tibet, Hu Zhigong.

??

Hu Zhigong was ready. He accumulated a large amount of grain, grass and baggage in Naquka and Amdo, north of Lhasa. He also organized more than 10,000 Heshuo special troops, and obtained Liangzhou's commander-in-chief Ma Ning and Yan'an's commander-in-chief Zhou Shi.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs received reinforcements of 12,000 soldiers and horses, which greatly increased confidence.

The Amdo area was originally the home base of the Heshuote tribe, and the local herdsmen were not friendly to the Ming army.

Hu Duxian, who has always been kind, showed a cruel and cruel side. On the one hand, he vigorously appointed the surrendered Heshuote generals as officials, organized the Qinghai herdsmen into households and levied taxes; on the other hand, he dealt with the Heshuote people who refused to obey.

He went on a killing spree and killed ten thousand people, earning him the title of "Butcher Hu".

The stick and the carrot have successfully stabilized Qinghai.

Then, the sword points at Lhasa.

At the end of March in the seventh year of Guangwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zhigong issued a military order to march into Lhasa.

On April 1, Yang Guanglie, the vanguard of the Ming army, fought fiercely with the Sangye Gyatso tribe of the Tibetan army in Naqu, wiping out 300 enemies.

On April 6, the Ming Army's Zhou Shimin Division approached the North Gate of Lhasa and defeated the Tibetan Army's Luosangtu Taoist Division, wiping out more than a thousand enemies.

On April 9, Ming troops under Chen Bao and Hu Guozhu captured Bili Gong, annihilating three thousand enemies and only suffering over a hundred casualties.

After a few tentative battles, Hu Zhigong was sure that although Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso claimed to have an army of 100,000, he had little combat power and it was not difficult to obtain it.

However, it is easy to capture Lhasa, but it is difficult to govern Lhasa.

For long-term peace and stability, it is best to surrender without fighting.

On April 11, Hu Zhigong launched a fierce attack on the powerful enemy, defeated Chen Gyatso and Lobsang Tudao, and wiped out more than ten thousand enemies. This battle made Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso frightened.

Then, Hu Zhigong stopped fighting and stationed his troops at Damxiong and Biligong, sharpening his sword against Lhasa.

From time to time, small groups of troops were sent out to harass Lhasa.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso knew that he could not be defeated, and force was not enough, so he kept talking.

He sent Dipa Li Gyatso as an envoy to condemn the unprovoked invasion of the country by the Qing army. Yes, he strongly condemned it!

"Hu Duxian, Snow Land has offered the head of Dalantai and declared itself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty. Why do you still want to march into Lhasa?" Chen Gyatso asked righteously.

"Humph, I heard that Lhasa is harboring Peng Suk, the son of the rebel chief Dayan Eqil, and I have brought troops to retrieve him. Go back and tell Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso that as long as he hands over Peng Suk, the governor will withdraw his troops immediately."

Hu Zhigong said with a smile.

"That's unfair, Governor Xian. We have never met Peng Suke. He has never been to Lhasa."

"Haha, there is no basis for what you say. Whether Peng Suke is in Lhasa or not, I will know after a search. Tell Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso that if he has no evil intentions in his heart, he will open the city and let our troops enter. If Peng Suke is not here

If we are not in Lhasa, we will withdraw our troops."

Hu Zhigong stroked his beard and said with a slight smile, "There are plenty of reasons why a wolf wants to eat a sheep.

Chen Gyatso smiled bitterly and asked, "If you are allowed to enter the city, can Lhasa still be the master's Lhasa? I had no choice but to return and report to Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso received the reward of Chen Gyatso, and he knew that the Ming army came with bad intentions. If they fought, they would definitely not be able to defeat them; if they didn’t fight, they would not be willing to lose the power they had finally wrested from the Heshuote people.

"Master, Norbu of Shigatse surrendered to the Ming army, led the army to capture Gyantse and Renbu, and approached Lhasa." In the midst of worries, his close confidant Rosang Tudao brought another bad news.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso felt dizzy for a while, and a rush of old blood surged into his throat.

Norbu of Shigatse is his old rival. This man is the younger brother of Suonan Raodan. After Suonan Raodan passed away, he prepared to attack the country with the strong support of the Gekasa family in Dorji and Duilong areas.

Ba's job.

At that time, Norbu was so confident that he even prepared a policy agenda. Unfortunately, he met the wily Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso secretly planned and negotiated with Dayan Oqil Khan, and suddenly launched an attack and canceled his post as Diba. The two sides forged a deep hatred and fought against each other several times.

If Norbu were to kill him, how could he survive?

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso felt his scalp numb and he was seriously worried about his life. He thought about it and decided that he would rather be a slave to the Celestial Empire than a domestic slave. If he surrendered to the Ming army, the Celestial Empire would not embarrass him, at least.

Life can be saved. If you stay dormant for a while, you may be able to regain power.

It must be brought to light as soon as possible, otherwise it will fall into the hands of Norbu and it will definitely die.

After making up his mind, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso did not hesitate and immediately sent his confidant Zhen Gyatso to meet with Hu Zhigong again. His attitude was very respectful: If you want to enter Lhasa to search for Peng Suk, please do as you wish. The monk is sincere and will confiscate it clearly.

Keep this person.

In the name of agreeing to the Ming army's search for Peng Suke, he surrendered to the Celestial Empire, which not only preserved his own face, but also laid the groundwork for the future. He could also use the power of the Ming army to deal with Norbu.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso was secretly proud, thinking that he had killed three birds with one stone.

Little did they know that Norbu was brought here by Emperor Guangwu’s secret order Hu Zhigong in order to use Norbu’s power to force Lhasa to surrender.

When it comes to intrigues, ten great monks are no match for a great emperor.
