Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 146: Busy diplomacy turns things upside down

In 1640, the political signal sent by Talbahatai Qiurgan was extraordinary. A "Mongol-Oirat Code" was more powerful than thousands of troops. It not only aroused the fear of the Manchu emperor and the Oros tsar, but also made Other major factions opposed to Gru had trouble sleeping and eating.

Zangba Khan's national advisor and the great monk Quyin Dorje of the Kagyu sect wrote a letter to the great monk Tianjin of the Sakya sect. The letter contained only one sentence: "The matter is urgent and we need to find Sharpa."

When the messenger rode a fast horse to Sakya Monastery, the great monk in Tianjin was concentrating on practicing "Tao Fruit". Although the sect is now weak and not as powerful as the Gelug, Nyingma, and Kagyu, it was, after all, a major sect that served as the Mongolian and Yuan national teachers for generations. It has a solid foundation, many kinds of methods, spells, and magic weapons, and is widely distributed. Gongqin Temple in Dege, Sichuan, Jiegu Temple in Yushu, Qinghai, Shizang Temple in Chengduo, Nalanda Temple in Linzhou, Jiecai Temple in Sikkim, etc. all belong to this school.

In a time of great strife, each faction has its masters. But not only the Gelug sect has many smart great monks, but there are also many wise men from other sects. The great monk of Tianjin immediately understood the meaning of the letter.

"Emergency" refers to the alliance formed by Oirat and Khalkha, not only against the Manchus and Oros, but also against other factions. Once this alliance is solidified, I am afraid that other factions will have no way to survive!

As for the "quick search for Salba", Salba Khutuktu was a great contributor to the sect. He single-handedly persuaded Lin Dan Khan to convert to the religious faith, and later became the master of Khuteiji Sultan of the Huite tribe. He almost revived the great cause of the Fifth Patriarch Phagpa. Asking myself to "quickly search for Sherpa" is nothing more than trying to use Sherpa's influence to persuade the Huite people to convert, and then break up the Oirat and Khalkha alliance.

"Haha, it's unfounded to worry about Qu Yin Duo Ji!" The great monk from Tianjin said with a smile. The reason for this is that he received the news from Jiegu Temple that Hutaiji Sultan of the Nahuite tribe treated all factions equally and showed no favoritism. After capturing Qinghai, he never harassed Jiegu Temple; and he also paid homage to Salpa Hutuktu of this sect is the teacher. It can be seen that not all in Oirat are die-hard fans of Gru. There is a real question mark as to how useful the code can be.

However, the great monk decided to go there himself. If the monks of this sect can successfully destroy the alliance supporting Gru, they will be able to outdo other sects with great achievements, which will be of great benefit to expanding their influence. So, gotta go.

The great monk of Tianjin left the Tara Palace where he lived and went to the Perfect Palace to find another great monk Daqin. These two are the supreme beings of Sakya, and the status of Tianjin is slightly higher than that of Daqin.

The great monk Daqin liked to practice the Thirteen Golden Dharma. He was at a critical stage, but his practice was interrupted. He was quite dissatisfied and asked: "Rinpoche (the honorific title given to the great monk in Tibet), what do you want to see me for?"

"Rinpoche, I want to go to Oirat, so I will leave the teaching affairs to you," Tianjin said calmly.

"Don't worry, go and find Salpa. I am here, Amitabha Buddha." After saying this, the great monk Daqin became motionless and silent, as if he was entering nirvana without any residue.

Huh? How did he know that I was going to look for Salpa? Could it be that his golden power allowed him to sense things around him? The great monk of Tianjin was surprised.

The temple where Sharpa Hutuktu was stationed in Xi was located in the territory of the Hami Harahu tribe. This temple was built for him by Suletan. It was not big and only housed a hundred monks, but it was the heart of his disciples.

The temple is not big, so long as there are eminent monks. Aba Huo Taiji of the Hala Hui tribe knew about his relationship with Huitai Ji. Not only did he convert all of them to Sakya, but he also worshiped him devoutly and did not dare to neglect. People from the remaining tribe of Lin Dan Khan in the north of the Kongque River often came here to offer incense.

On this day, he was studying Buddhist scriptures, and his disciples reported that an old friend had come. At first glance, he turned out to be a great monk from Tianjin! "Master, why are you here?" he asked in surprise.

"Salpa Rinpoche, I want you to go to Yingsao River and persuade your disciple to convert to Sakya."

"Alas! What you don't know is that my disciple is a real person. Now that Gelug is powerful, he will never agree. But don't worry, he has been dissatisfied with Lhasa for a long time and will never do anything detrimental to our sect." Sharpa Hutuktu said. The Tianjin monk pondered for a moment and said: "Then introduce me to your disciple. No matter what, you must give it a try."

"The old monk obeys the order."

"I have the honor to meet Tara Rinpoche. This is a blessing given to me by the Immortal God." Suletan gave the great monk of Tianjin a lot of face and poured out all kinds of compliments.

"It is my blessing to meet the descendants of Yabu Ganmeiergan. Amitabha!" The great monk clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

Seeing him praising his legendary ancestor, Sultan felt his face light up. Ancestor worship is a tradition of all Chinese ethnic groups, especially in this era, how can people not be happy?
Huh? Isn’t that right? Why didn't he praise my father and grandfather, but kept praising my ancestors? Everyone knows that our ancestor was the leader of Oirat back then, and no one in East and West Mongolia dared to mess with him. Well, he is implying that he supports me as the leader of Oirat. Haha, these great monks seem to have all the four things in vain, but none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp! After thinking about this section, Suletan's demeanor became more and more attentive, and he chatted with the great monk about Buddhism, but not about politics.

"In the past, Lingzu Yabu Ganmeiergan conquered Mongolia. What a hero! Now Huitaiji is revitalizing Huite, which is really the style of his ancestors." He did not talk about politics, but the great monk wanted to focus on politics. The four words "the most powerful Mongolia" are not something that ordinary Noyan can use. It requires the sweat of all Mongolia.

"I am just a man of great ambition and talent. How dare I compare with my ancestors?" Suletan pretended not to understand and hurriedly gave in.

"You have conquered the north and south, expanded countless territories, and rescued Gelug from danger. Your reputation has spread all over the world. How can you not compare with your ancestors? It's just that I heard that the two divine monks in Lhasa actually refused to call you 'Sarurabbi'. "Lige Khan (Bright Wisdom Khan)' is really ungrateful." After saying this, the great monk stared at Huitai Ji with great energy.

"Oh, Oirat Khan has always been in charge of the Heshuote Ministry, and the two holy monks are also worried about the dissatisfaction of the Heshuote people."

"If you convert to my sect, I would like to unite all the sects to honor you as 'Sarula Bilig Khan', and be in charge of Oirat, no, the whip of all Mongolia."

The old monk raised the price, but Sultan refused, "Rinpoche, Gelug is so powerful now, and my Huite tribe is under heavy siege, so I really don't dare to do this!"

"Amitabha", the great monk from Tianjin shouted the Buddha's name, feeling disappointed for a while.

"To be honest with Rinpoche, I plan to attack the Yarkand Kingdom in the near future. I hope Zangpa Khan and Baili Chieftain will not rescue Yarkand."

"This may be a bit difficult," Tianjin said with a cold expression.

"Go and tell Zangba Khan and Baili Chieftain for me that if they support me in seizing Yarkand, I will support them in attacking Lhasa." Sultan's voice was not loud, but it was earth-shattering in the ears of the great monk. .
