Since Suiyuan was liberated, Houhehot has not changed its name. At this time, the arrogant and domineering figure of the Japanese army in the city of Houhehot is missing, and there are more people laughing in and out. An old man is riding on a horse from
As we prepare to enter the city outside the city, the inspection of the city gates is still going on. Although there are no longer large groups of Japanese troops in Suiyuan, there are still a lot of remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops and bandits and robbers. For the sake of safety, all those entering the city are
Except for troops, no one was allowed to carry guns and ammunition, but they could carry knives. When he knew he had to hand over his gun, the old man looked reluctantly at the strong man following him.
The strong man stepped forward quickly and said, "Boss, this is Elder Menggen who is here to attend the conference. Do you think it is convenient for us to let him go?"
The guard shook his head and said, "There are orders from above, no matter who it is. Please rest assured, this elder, that we will keep the credit. We will store the guns and pick them up when we leave Houhehot. In addition, I am not the boss."
, just call me comrade."
Menggen thought for a while and said, "Okay, here you go."
The Mongolian man next to him saw Meng Gen talking and took off his rifle from his back and handed it to the guard. The guard immediately recorded the models, characteristics and number of bullets of the two guns, took two iron plates and handed them to the two of them and said, "This is
For proof, just come to our city gate to pick up the gun when you leave the city."
Meng Gen nodded and continued walking inside. The Mongolian man next to him asked in Mongolian, "Elder, why do you want to give a gun? What if these Red Party members have bad intentions?"
Menggen touched his beard and said, "The Japanese can't stop them. How can you stop them with just one rifle? In addition, King De's messenger hopes that we will support him. I'm afraid King De will do something at this meeting."
What a trick."
The Mongolian man hummed, "Elder, didn't you say that King De is just a puppet of the Japanese? Now that the Japanese are gone, why are we afraid of King De?"
Meng Gen smiled and said, "Then let's see what the Red Party's plan is. According to Ulanhu's propaganda, it is good, but we will know what it is in a few days. And don't forget, except for the White Party on this grassland,
, the Red Party, King De, but there is still a force. Let’s see who that force will support.”
In the government building, He Long, Wu Lanfu and Teng Haiqing were talking to a person opposite.
The man was young, less than thirty years old, and was wearing a gorgeous cassock. The man stood up and said, "If your party can really do what you just said to the poor monk, the poor monk is willing to go to lobby Seleng Wangpo."
Living Buddha and Maidali Living Buddha.”
He Long then stood up and said, "The things I said are not to you alone, the Living Buddha, nor are they said to me, but are the promises made by our Red Party Central Committee to all the Mongolian people. Kalazang Living Buddha can rest assured.
Although we Red Party members do not believe in ghosts and gods, we respect religious beliefs. We are always the most trustworthy when we speak. If one day you find that what I said is different, you can go to the newspaper and point your finger at me, He Long, and scold me.
He’s a liar and a villain!”
This person is the Living Buddha of Kalazang. He was originally from Tongliao. He was born in the first year of the Republic of China. He was recognized as a Living Buddha when he was 10 years old and went to Tibet to study Buddhism.
In fact, there are not many living Buddhas in Buddhism. To be precise, there is no such term as living Buddha in Buddhism. "Living Buddha" is the name that people in Han areas use for their customs. This is mainly the title of some titles in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Due to the continuation of the title, in Tibetan Buddhism, there are mainly four living Buddhas, the ******** Lama who is in charge of political and religious affairs in former Tibet, the ******** Erdeni who is in charge of political and religious affairs in Later Tibet, and the ******** Lama who is in charge of political and religious affairs in Later Tibet, and the
Jebtsundampa, who preaches Buddhism, and Zhangjia Hutuktu, who is in charge of Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia. Among them, **** and **** are higher than Jebtsundampa and Zhangjia Hutuktu in terms of religious status.
.
Among them, Zhangjia Hutuktu Living Buddha, who is in charge of Inner Mongolia, is the seventh living Buddha at this time and is recuperating in Sichuan. In addition to these four major living Buddhas, there are thousands of small and medium-sized living Buddhas, some of which are living Buddhas with historical origins, such as Karma
Lazang Living Buddha and others, these living Buddhas have high prestige among the herdsmen, and some are living Buddhas who passed the examination, and some even bought them with heavy donations. At this time, there were nearly 100 living Buddhas like this in Qinghai Youning Temple.
There are 100 people, and there are 60 or 70 people in Kumbum Monastery. They are not included in the register, and they can be added or removed at any time, and they can reincarnate or stop reincarnation.
Watching the Kalazang Living Buddha leave, Ulanfu said, "With the support of these Living Buddhas, we would be much more relaxed."
He Long nodded and said, "Suiyuan has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years since the late Qing Dynasty. The people want peace, and the monks and living Buddhas also want peace. Didn't Mr. Jiang Nanxiang once say that North China is so big that there is no room for a peaceful desk?"
This sentence can also be used here. Although Mongolia is large, it cannot accommodate a temple where people can recite sutras in peace. Are representatives from all over the country here?"
Ulanfu nodded and said, "A total of 382 representatives came from all over the country, and the total number of participants will be more than 430. It is a conference."
He Long smiled and said, "Then we have to have a good time. This time you will be the speaker, so you have to be prepared. In addition, Comrade Ren Chi will also come to speak."
Ulanhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely complete the task."
He Long nodded and asked, "What is that King De doing recently?"
Ulanhu laughed and said, "They have established a party called the Mongolian People's Party and are preparing to use the power of the party to fight against us. It is also interesting."
He Long said oh, smiled and stopped talking.
——
In a room, King De asked anxiously, "How is it going? How many people are willing to support us?"
Wu Heling sighed, "I went to the Han people, and they are hiding when they see me now. It turns out that these guys are not reliable. Each one is better at Tai Chi than the other. They actually said that the National People's Congress election meeting is about to be held and it is not appropriate to communicate, haha.
, back then they had to queue up even if they wanted to see us. This was really Hedong in the 18th year and Hexi in the 18th year."
Uguyan said, "Our side is better, but most of the tribal leaders are pretending to be deaf and dumb. Not many people respond to our Mongolian people's efforts to govern Mongolia."
Li Shouxin laughed and said, "None of us have guns in our hands now. Of course they don't believe we can succeed."
King De tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "It seems that we can only persuade those living Buddhas to support us. In addition, when the meeting is held, people must be organized to go to the entrance of the meeting to create momentum and create an environment in which the oppressive people control the oppressive people."

——December 18, 1939
The first People's Representative Election Conference of the Suiyuan Anti-Japanese Coalition Government was held.
He Long, Wu Lanfu and others sat in the car, looked at the protesting crowd outside the venue and said with a smile, "Mongolians govern Mongolians, Han people get out, haha, this is provoking ********."
Teng Haiqing narrowed his eyes slightly and said with murderous intent, "These are all people who were instigated and bribed. The real mastermind hasn't come out yet. I think it will take blood to scare Xiao Xiao!"
Ulanfu disagreed and said, "Most of the people and herdsmen support us. We cannot go to war just because of a small group of bad elements. We have not really established a foothold in Suiyuan. Boss, I think we still need to find these people."
Who is behind the scenes?"
He Long hummed, pointed at the venue with his pipe and said, "They must all be inside, waiting to see the show. By the way, let's ask a troop to lurk near the venue secretly. I'm worried that they won't be able to fight with force if they can't fight with each other."
After a simple opening ceremony, He Long walked up to the stage and said, "Comrades and representatives, today, our first People's Representative Election in Suiyuan was officially held. Since it is wartime, we kept everything simple and went directly to the topic. Today's topic is very simple.
, select 100 temporary representatives of our Suiyuan People's Congress from more than 400 representatives selected from various places to participate in our upcoming People's Congress. In the People's Congress, we will determine our development direction, personnel structure and other important agendas. It can be said that Suiyuan
The real power will be in the hands of these 100 temporary representatives. At the same time, we have to select our National People's Congress Director and Standing Committee members today. If representatives need to speak, please raise their hands after the person in front of them has finished speaking, and pay attention to the discipline of the venue."
With that, He Long walked away, and Dong Qiwu walked up and said, "Dear representatives and comrades, since Chairman Fu is on the front line and cannot come back to attend the meeting for a while, I will speak on behalf of Suiyuan. We have experienced many years of war and are in urgent need of a strong force."
We need strength to stabilize our hard-won peace. We urgently need a force to develop and revitalize our Suiyuan. I hope everyone can find our right direction in today's meeting. Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the Republic of China!"
After finishing speaking, the host said, "Now please invite those who are interested in running for director of the National People's Congress to come to the stage to give your final speech."
King De stood up with a whoosh, smiled and waved to the people behind him, and King De's supporters immediately cheered. King De looked at He Long and others with a smile, walked up to the stage and said, "Everyone should know me,
I won’t introduce myself anymore. I, King De, first want to apologize to everyone. In the past few years, due to the persecution of the Japanese invaders, I did a lot of things I shouldn’t have done. But today I have changed my ways and am loyal to the Chongqing government.
! Loyal to Chairman Chiang! Loyal to our Republic of China! Whoever opposes the Chongqing government! Opposes Chairman Chiang! Opposes our Republic of China! They are our enemies! Whether they are Japanese invaders or others, I will fight them to the end.
!Until death!!”
Meng Gen chuckled in the audience and said, "Okay, this is a big flag."
A man dressed as a lama next to him looked at Meng Gen and said, "Clan Chief Meng thinks it's inappropriate?"
Menggen shook his head and said, "Very good, continue listening."
King De continued to say angrily, "I think our Suiyuan will be a Suiyuan governed by Mongolians in the future! Why? Everyone knows that Mongolia is divided into internal and external areas. Why does Outer Mongolia want to be independent? It's because they think that the Han people are oppressing
Mongolians, so we have to show them that although there are more Han people in Inner Mongolia, we are also Mongolian-led. As long as I am elected as the director of our National People's Congress, as long as our Mongolian People's Party becomes the master of Suiyuan.
I will require that more than 70% of our officials in Suiyuan must be Mongolians!
I would propose that all our living Buddhas have greater privileges and that we monks be given more conveniences!
I would advocate that all clan chiefs have judicial power and be allowed to have their own small groups of armed forces!
I will request that all troops are not allowed to enter the Mongolian tribes to prevent military disasters!
I will communicate with Chairman Chiang and let our officials rotate with the mainland. If you want, you can even go to Chongqing to serve as an official!
I will ask the Chongqing government to subsidize us in Suiyuan, and all the taxes we pay will return to our hands!"
"Privileges! They are all privileges. This King De still has the remnants of feudalism in his mind!" He Long said with disdain as he looked at King De performing on the stage.
Ulanfu next to him laughed and said, "There are indeed quite a few Mongolian representatives this time, accounting for almost half. He probably wants to win over the Han people in the name of the Chongqing government and use his privileges to win over the Mongolians."
He Long shook his head and said, "He has finished farting, we can start."
Ulanhu nodded and walked up. King De glanced at Ulanhu provocatively. Ulanhu smiled, walked up to the stage and said, "Dear representatives, what I want to talk about today is the development direction of our Suiyuan.
As we all know, our Suiyuan is a poor province. We only have cattle and sheep, and we cannot even be completely self-sufficient in food. Many tribes are even in danger of dying when they encounter the black and white disasters. The children are born and cannot be fed. The adults have worked hard.
There is not enough to eat, and there are also attacks by horse bandits. Except for a few big cities such as Houhehot and so on, there is no place to see a doctor, let alone a place for children to study."
King De smiled below and said, "Everyone knows these things, and they cannot be solved in thousands of years. Who does he think he is?"
Ulanfu continued, "Our Red Party came to Suiyuan with the purpose of changing our Suiyuan. Many people have been in contact with our Red Party and know some of our policies. Let me talk about it again here.
We promise all children in Suiyuan to build 300 new primary and secondary schools within three years to ensure that more than 90% of children go to school. All tuition fees will be paid by the government and a lunch will be provided. We will build more than three junior colleges and undergraduate schools, so that
Outstanding children have more opportunities to receive education.
We promise all families that within three years, we will build 800 new hospitals and clinics to ensure that more than 80% of towns and villages have hospitals so that sick people can be treated. The hospitals will implement a reimbursement system based on everyone's illness.
As long as you join the medical insurance, you can enjoy medical treatment exemptions and medical loans.
We promise to all the people that within three years we will build more than 10,000 kilometers of roads and more than 3,000 kilometers of railways.
We promise to build new factories and mines and provide 50,000 industrial jobs to the people of Suiyuan within three years.
We promise to reduce rents and interest rates, provide loans, production tools, and veterinary medicines to the people, take less and give more. We will provide account numbers for all people to ensure that all subsidies are directly distributed from the provincial government to people, eliminating corruption in the middle.
If we have the opportunity, we will set up a procuratorate and an inspection team to ensure the integrity and efficiency of officials. We will plan the development direction of each county and banner. We will implement religious policies and respect religious beliefs!"
"Lie! You lie!!" King De stood up and shouted loudly, "Everyone knows that you Red Party members do not respect heaven and earth and do not believe in gods and Buddhas. I am afraid that in the end, you will kill all the Buddhist disciples and all the Buddhists.
Loot the pure land! I know that you have always promoted atheism in the army. Dear living Buddhas, the Red Party cannot be trusted!"
"Tashi Delek, please ask Donor Wulanfu to explain what King De just said." A living Buddha stood up and said.
Ulanhu smiled and said, "I first want to ask, what is freedom of belief? Our Red Party believes that the so-called freedom is definitely not only the freedom to believe in religion, we believe that it also guarantees the freedom not to believe in religion. Our Red Party believes that any state agency, society
Neither groups nor individuals may force people to believe in a religion or not believe in a religion, and no one may discriminate against people who believe in a religion or do not believe in a religion.
We will protect normal religious activities. At the same time, we also prohibit anyone from using religion to undermine social order and national interests. For example, Christians will never allow them to obey the orders of the Pope. We will not take sides.
We will not suppress any party. Atheism is the belief of our Red Party. The only thing we fear is the people, and the only thing we fear is the people's hearts. This is our position. Living Buddha, do you have any advice?"
The Living Buddha pondered for a long time and said, "Sakyamuni once predicted that those who destroy our teachings will be those who wear my clothes. Now that I think about it, how true it is. I don't know how many practitioners are as sincere and fearful as holy monks when they make vows, but in the process of practice, they are like Shuras.
Desires and desires, a heart that can never be a pure land, and they still pretend to enlighten the world. Such people are the most common at the moment. They have already ruined the atmosphere. Damn it! Damn it! It doesn't matter whether you believe in religion or not, as long as you have a kind heart.
He will surely ascend to the ultimate bliss. The King of Virtue and the poor monk believe that this will not only not suppress my Buddhism, but will actually increase the number of true practitioners. I predict that in a hundred years, Buddhism will flourish! China will flourish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sanskrit sound suddenly rose loudly, and all the monks and clan leaders in the venue chanted sutras together. They only saw the living Buddha sitting cross-legged, with a smile on his face, and made no sound anymore.
Seeing that He Long and others looked confused, Kalazang Living Buddha stood up and explained, "This Living Buddha has the ability to predict in his lineage. The bigger the prediction, the greater the backlash. If it is big this time,
Even if you have great ambitions, you can only go to the ultimate bliss and wait for reincarnation."
Ulanhu swallowed his saliva and didn't know what to do. Finally, He Long stood up and said, "The living Buddha has passed away. The meeting is suspended and will continue in the afternoon!!"
