Whether it is Xikang or Kham, the place is still the same place, with high mountains and steep mountains, dangerous twists and turns, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Since Li Zijing took a step back, demoted himself to Prince Kang, and no longer used the banner of Dashun, it meant that he had given up his determination to open up new territories.
Even if Sichuan sent troops and captured Kham after all the hardships, it would only be a wedding dress for Gushi Khan.
Before unifying the country, the main contradiction between the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty was the orthodoxy and the struggle for the world, which required speed and speed.
But now, the main contradiction is how to consolidate rule, and the secondary contradiction is to regain Liaodong and never bring about another Northern Yuan.
This autumn, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties attacked the Chahar tribe, which means that their strength is gradually recovering!
Thinking like this, Zhu Yixi said: "The Academy of Lifan sent people to Ganzi to ask Li Zijing, the so-called King of Kang, to present the edition of the book, and he was granted the position of King Kang."
"In addition, if Li Zijing agrees, then the Lifan Yuan will go to Uzang to mediate the contradiction between the two."
Du Yinxi thought about the emperor's meaning, raised his head, and his face tightened: "Your Majesty, Li Zijing connects Qinghai to Kham. The two are combined into one, and they are huge!"
"Then let him give up Qinghai."
Zhu Yixi said decisively: "Qinghai is close to Gansu and controls this place. What is its intention?"
"Wei Chen understands."
The Qinghai area is the gateway to Uzang. Once the imperial court occupied this area, it would completely block Li Zijing and Gushi Khan and take the initiative.
Moreover, Qinghai was also a stepping stone, allowing the Ming army to adapt to the plateau climate and prepare for the future journey.
"By the way, if the Lifanyuan is going to regulate Li Zijing and Gushi Khan this time, then it will also invite the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama to Beijing. I want to listen to them to promote Buddhism."
The Dalai Lama originated in 1578, when the leader of the Tumote tribe, Ada Khan, named Sonam Gyatso the "Holy Consciousness All Wazir Dalai Lama" (referring to the highest attainment in both Sutra and Tantra).
Achievements, a master whose knowledge is as profound as the ocean), and from then on he began to have the title of Dalai Lama.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen's reign, due to the introduction of Gushi Khan into Tibet, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen was named "Panchen Bogdo".
From then on, he had the title of Panchen Lama.
The status of the two is not the same. The Dalai Lama rules the former Tibet area, and its political and religious center is in Lhasa, which is very powerful. The Panchen Lama rules the back Tibet area, and its political and religious center is in Shigatse, which is sparsely populated.
Faced with the current situation in which the Gelug sect dominates the Uzbek area, the imperial court has the obligation to recruit these two people and win the hearts and minds of the people.
"Wei Chen understands." Du Yinxi was well-read during these periods, had some impressions of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, and knew their status in Buddhism, so he nodded immediately.
In a sense, due to the existence of border areas, the Lifan Yuan also had a lot to do with religion.
Suddenly, the autumn wind blew, bringing with it a hint of coolness. The palace maids thoughtfully put on clothes for the emperor, and Wu Bangfu, the commander of the royal guards, came to see him.
Wu Bangfu was the commander-in-chief of Fusi in the North Town of Chongzhen Dynasty. He fled to Nanjing after breaking the city. He continued to be in power during the reign of King Fu, and was later appointed by Zhu Yixi.
This is the convenience of being from a clan.
Zhu Yixi could appoint ministers from the previous dynasty without any grudges, while the civil servants and military generals were just outsiders and surrendered directly without any psychological burden.
He went down the river and after conquering Nanjing, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi recognized the Shaowu court with almost no resistance and actively paid taxes.
It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that Zhu Yixi can safely appoint Wu Bangfu to be in charge of Jin Yiwei.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Chahanhot."
Wu Bangfu knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Sun Changzhou, the governor of Xuanda, sat guarding Hanhot for several days. The Manchus were defeated by the Qing Dynasty. After some looting, they were forced to evacuate."
"As a result, the Chahar tribe lost tens of thousands of people, its strength was greatly reduced, and it lost its former prestige."
"Where's Abu Nai!"
The emperor was in high spirits, and the gentle tapping of his leather boots on the ground shook people's heartstrings.
"I'm afraid our time is running out."
"That's good."
Zhu Yixi turned around and said bluntly: "Order Sun Changzhou to recruit 10,000 Chahar troops and form a Mongolian cavalry."
"In addition, let the Ministry of Industry send craftsmen to rebuild Chahanhot, rename it Chifeng, and place it under the jurisdiction of Governor Xuanda."
After some operations, the emperor looked at Wu Bangfu and asked: "Is there any news from the Liaodong area?"
After the Manchus were returned outside the customs, the violent repercussions it caused are difficult to measure.
For example, the civil and military officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty who were kidnapped outside the Pass, naturally saw the general trend clearly, and they were already anxious, wavering, and had no confidence in the Manchus.
Even the generals who had previously joined him felt sad.
Before entering the customs, the greatest wish of the Manchus and Qing Dynasties was to take over the Central Plains and establish a new dynasty.
But after being beaten back, there was a decline and a decline, and the future of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was visible at a glance, which was a bit discouraging.
Not to mention the heavy losses, the return of a large number of people also caused a shortage of food in the entire Liaodong.
Because of this, there are countless people in Liaodong who are enlightened.
In particular, the entire Bohai area was controlled by the Ming Dynasty Navy, leaving the Manchu and Qing Dynasties with nowhere to block it.
"Your Majesty, there has been news recently that Dorgon will marry the Queen Mother, and there are rumors one after another that his health is already very bad."
"Really?" Zhu Yixi stood up with a bang, her face extremely excited.
Although he didn't know when Dorgon died, at this time when the Ming Dynasty was gaining strength, Liaodong, a serious problem in his heart, could also find a good opportunity to solve it.
It is undeniable that without Dorgon, the divisions between the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty would have been difficult to smooth out.
The contradictions between the Manchus and Mongols, the contradictions between the Eight Banners and the Han people, the contradictions between the Eight Banners aristocrats, and the newly formed semi-feudal and semi-slave society were enough to split the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
In history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty greatly eased domestic conflicts after devouring the interests of the entire Central Plains.
"The Jinyi Guards must not waste time, continue to investigate the enemy's situation, and must not miss any news."
"yes!"
Wu Bangfu quickly retreated.
Thinking of Shunzhi, who was only thirteen years old, and Dorgon who was in declining health, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but feel excited.
Finally the opportunity came.
At this time, he summoned the head of the General Staff Department.
The Fifth Army Governor's Office is responsible for controlling local troops and horses, while the Staff Department has continued to evolve in recent years and gradually began to be responsible for the troops and horses of the Beijing camp.
In other words, this is also the emperor's insecurity.
Relying on the informal, humble and obedient staff officer, he commanded the troops in the capital camp.
"Your Majesty, there are still 20,000 troops stationed in Pyongyang in North Korea. In addition, the size of the Beijing Camp near the capital has reached one hundred thousand."
Wei Shen, the chief of staff, quickly reported on the situation in the Beijing camp, carefully and meticulously.
