Yunzhao returned to Lantian City and went to Meidaizhao Temple, which was rebuilt by the Great Lama Morgan. The Chinese name of Meidaizhao is Lingjue Temple.
This temple city was built on the Tumo River by Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tumote Tribe, who was granted the title of King of Shunyi.
The first city temple built in the third year of Wanli was named Fuhua City by the imperial court.
Uzang Maidali Hutuktu came here to preach in the 34th year of Wanli, so it is also called Maidali Temple, Maidali Temple or Meidai Zhao.
The entire temple is magnificent and protected by tall city walls that are impregnable. The main hall is even more magnificent, which makes people feel revered.
The main hall is dedicated to Sakyamuni. The murals around the main hall range from the waistline to the ceiling. The scene is grand and the composition is rich. You need to look up to see it all.
There is a giant statue of Sakyamuni in the middle of the north wall, and in the background there are paintings of Sakyamuni's Buddhist stories, such as the prince traveling through four gates, getting shaved and becoming a monk, subduing the witch, attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha, etc. The shape is accurate and vivid, full of human interest.
On the lower wall are the Four Heavenly Kings, the Crouching Tiger Arhat, and the Budai monk. The east mural depicts the story of the enlightenment of Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect. The lower wall depicts many Lamaist protector gods such as Mahakala, Qolji Vajra, and Ba** Hamun.
Over the years, the murals on the walls have become somewhat outdated. This time, the Great Lama of Morgan rebuilt Meidai Zhao, using only three hundred kilograms of gold.
Yunzhao devoted a lot of effort to this place, and many of the master craftsmen who built Buddhist temples came from Guanzhong.
At this point, there is this magnificent building that is half hidden and half Han.
On the night when Qian Shaoshao bloodbathed Guihua City, the entire Guihua City was covered in blood, but Meidai Zhao remained unscathed.
Not only that, on that night, Qian Shaoshao even sent an envoy to express his apology to the living Buddha in the temple, and also sent troops to protect the temple from secular events.
When Yun Zhao came to worship the Buddha this time, he got off his horse at the gate of the mountain and even personally presented the white hada to all the gods in Mei Daizhao.
After kneeling down and worshiping the statue of Sakyamuni, Yunzhao donated 500 taels of gold, a tin staff with nine gold rings, 500 jins of butter, 500 monk robes, and 500 pairs of cloth shoes to the temple.
Then I also listened to the "Dabao Sutra" taught by Living Buddha Daragon in the Main Hall.
After worshiping the Buddha again, Dalagon Living Buddha invited Yunzhao to drink butter tea together.
"The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of God, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Daragon Living Buddha dipped his fingers into butter tea in Yunzhao and offered it to the gods. After heaven and earth, he couldn't wait The way.
Yun Zhao said in a deep voice: "The place where the Buddha's light shines is naturally a kingdom of gods. It is the proper meaning for the common people in the world to respect gods and chant Buddha. However, since they have not yet become Buddhas, then this stinky skin bag is also It will be under the control of the secular world.
In other words, the gods and Buddhas will return to the gods and Buddhas, and the secular world will return to the secular world. The two must not be confused.Do you think so? "
Daragon smiled and said: "The kingdom of God is not contaminated by any dust, does your venerable think so?
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Everything inside the temple is the pure land, and outside the temple should be the secular world." ”
Dalagon said again: “Preaching sutras and preaching is my original vow as a Buddhist, and your venerable master should open the door for convenience.” "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Snowy plateaus, grasslands and deserts should be full of Buddhist sounds.
Dalagon frowned and said: "So, I should stop at the north of the Great Wall?"
Yun Zhao clasped his hands together and said: "There is a fairy mountain in Yushan City, and there are countless believers who have been waiting for the Living Buddha to preach and preach."
Daragon nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Today, there is endless blood flowing on the snowy plateau, and all kinds of lies make believers at a loss. Can your venerable protector of our Gelug sect?" "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "If the Gelug Sect Venerable only restricts the Buddha's power to the temple, Yun Zhao dares not to obey?
Daragon frowned and said, "Buddha, immortal for all eternity, eternal life."
Yunzhao cupped his hands and said: "Ksitigarbha Buddha said that hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha. The Buddha sympathized with the suffering and ignorance of the world, and made a great wish to save the common people. If he does not succeed in one life or even in all the worlds, Yun Zhao praises him. Congratulations, how can the Buddha lose his destination just because of worldly disputes? "
Dalagon leaned forward and looked at Yun Zhao: "Do you have great aspirations, Your Majesty? "
Yun Zhao sat up straight and said: "After I have unified the world, I will make a final decision with the Living Buddha.
Dallagon also sat up straight and closed his eyes and said: "It's indeed too early. Mergen didn't know what he saw in the void, but he actually put his mantle here." A Lantian city.
This is a great dharma, and the venerable should respect it and cherish it.
Yun Zhao clasped his hands together and smiled: "This is natural." ”
The Dalagon Living Buddha laughed and invited Yunzhao to drink butter tea.
Yunzhao stayed in Meidaizhao for a whole day and night, talking with the Dalagon Living Buddha Very happily, he left at dawn the next day.
After leaving Meidaizhao, Yun Zhao looked back at this magnificent temple with mountains and water on its back and said to Chang Guoyu who was accompanying him: "Guihua City Three." The lady's merits are immeasurable and should be experienced by the world, and she should become a Buddha. ”
Chang Guoyu bowed and said: “Shape a golden body in memory of those who come after you.” "
Yun Zhao nodded, mounted his horse, looked at the tall temple city and said to Chang Guoyu: "As I said, divine power can only be displayed in temples. "
Chang Guoyu said puzzledly: "Sooner or later the divine authority will conflict with our laws. Why didn't the county chief eliminate it from the beginning? "
Yun Zhao sang them and said in one breath: "If we still want to have ambitions towards Uzang, Mongolia, and Liaodong tribes, we can only respect them as gods.
This land is too big... We cannot control it with the existing manpower. Even if we can barely control it, it will be full of wars. There is no way.
Guoyu, since we consider ourselves the successors of the Ming Dynasty, then we mustA complete territory that even goes beyond the borders of the Ming Dynasty.
Since ancient times, land has always been a pain in the hearts of Han people. For the sake of the land, we conquer each other. For the sake of the land, the people do not hesitate to rebel. For the sake of the land, countless people would rather shout about poison and fight against tigers. The companion must also keep his own land.
Since their fundamental demand is land, we will give the people a large piece of land so that they can live and produce freely.
The Buddha in the hearts of the Tibetans, Mongols, and Liaodong people has left the temple and become the Buddha in the hearts of these people. Since the general trend cannot be resisted, we can only follow the trend.
Limit the area under the Buddha's rule and limit what the Buddha can and cannot do. We will rule the areas beyond the reach of our power by managing these living Buddhas and lamas.
Leave these problems to our descendants to deal with. I think that when the communication between the extreme north and the extreme south becomes a matter of breathing, then there will be no real control. Late.
Now, we need these lamas, and these lamas also know that we need him, so the Great Lama of Morgan came to Lantian City to preach the Dharma.
They don’t care who the ruler is, they just support whoever can support them in spreading their Dharma.
Of course, on the premise of ensuring the interests of their group of vested interests.
What was the outcome of the Battle of Zhangjiakou? ”
Chang Guoyu quickly reported: “The fighting is still fierce. Judging from the current situation, we have not been able to take advantage of it. However, Lu Xiangsheng desperately rescued the captive people and is recuperating.” After returning slowly to the south, Li Dingguo burned most of the food stored in Yue Tuo's army. The headquarters suffered heavy losses of more than 800 people, and only less than 200 people returned. "
"Is Battle still alive? "
"Alive, but about to die. Qian Shaoshao made Xu Wu want to keep an eye on Battle. Maybe tomorrow, there will be bad news. "
"Has Gao Jie's headquarters arrived at the preset position? "
"It has been two days since they arrived. They are waiting at Bailongdui for the 20,000 horses of Gurushab, Ombuhuchuer, and Genggar.
Yun Zhao took a long breath and said: "I hope Gao Jie, Yunjuan's three thousand people, and Yun Yang's three thousand people can keep all these damn Mongolian princes in Bailongdui." "
Chang Guoyu smiled and said: "We don't think there will be any problems.
Yun Zhao glanced at Chang Guoyu and said, "Don't be proud. You can say such things after a fight." "
Chang Guoyu pointed to Lantian City not far away and said: "Our place is empty.
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "There are 120,000 Han people, how can this place be regarded as an empty city?" After clearing out those Mongolian princes, we will have more people coming out of the west entrance to farm and graze here. If the Han family here has a population of more than five million, I will dare to push the front to the North Sea. If the Han family here If the population exceeds ten million, I can push the front line to the horizon..."
The fighting in Zhangjiakou is still fierce.
The battle between the two armies was very structured. A structured battle showed that the two sides were evenly matched. However, as generals such as Yue Tuo and Du Du became more and more familiar with hot weapon combat, the balance of victory began to shift. Pour into the Qing Dynasty.
The artillery fired bombs one after another into the walled city, and countless rockets also flew into the walled city. The continuous explosions in the walled city fully demonstrated the intensity of the war.
Li Dingguo is lying on one hospital bed, and Zhang Guofeng is lying on another bed. Looking behind him, you will find that there are hundreds of hospital beds...
"This time What a loss..."
Li Dingguo wanted to sit up, but the blunt force injury on his waist made him lie down again with a scream.
Zhang Guofeng's head was wrapped with gauze, and only his mouth and eyes could be exposed. He groaned feebly: "I almost couldn't get out. I saw you hitting the south wall with your big guy. I thought you were going crazy. Can you tell me in advance next time and see if there is someone there to help you?"
Li Dingguo chuckled and said, "It is the duty of a general to lead his subordinates to survive. At this time, you, the lieutenant, should speak less and worship more."
Zhang Guofeng whispered: "Six hundred and eleven people were killed in the battle."
Li Dingguo vomited in the sky. He spat and said: "I told you a long time ago, follow me to fight and enjoy the glory and wealth while you are alive. If you die, you will have your back.
Hey, more people have died in the past, but you never seem to take it for granted. Why can't you bear the death of one of your own people now?" Zhang Guofeng looked at his subordinates who were also lying on the hospital bed and sighed: "Today is different from the past."
Li Dingguo nodded, listened to the sound of artillery for a while, and said to Zhang Guozhu: "Young master Qian has a dark heart. This is purely exchanging the lives of Mongolians for the lives of the slaves."
Zhang Guofeng looked around and saw that other wounded soldiers were far away from them, so he whispered: "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Dingguo said: "Why are you talking nonsense? When we were greeted, sixty The four cannons opened fire at the same time, bombarding us with explosive shells, chain shells, and shotgun shells as if they were free of charge. The explosions made Jiannu dare not chase us as he watched us run away. That scene still scares me.
You. Listen to the sound of the artillery supporting the Mongols, it's like war horse dung, one by one.
Not only did Qian Shaoshao want to consume the lives of the Mongols and the slaves, he was reluctant to spend more money. My heart is dark.
Does this mean that Zhang Guozhu and his gang have prepared the new army in Lantian City? ”
Zhang Guofeng covered his ears and pretended not to hear.
Li Dingguo pulled away Zhang Guofeng's hands covering his ears and said, "Tell me, where did Gao Jie, Yun Juan, and Yun Yang who came with Yun Zhao go?"
Zhang Guofeng said dullly: "My status is not qualified to know such high-level military secrets."
Li Dingguo took out a branchHe lit the rolled cigarette in his mouth, exhaled a mouthful of light blue smoke and said, "Idiot, people are gathering around for help. What a really good plan."
Zhang Guofeng sat up suddenly and said : "The county magistrate is plotting against Dorgon?"
Li Dingguo chuckled and said: "Plotting against Dorgon? The defense of Lantian City was prepared for Dorgon. Those stupid Meng Eight Banners are eager to make contributions. I thought that with Yue Tuo here and their 20,000 people, they came to Lantian City just to gain credit.
This time, hey, I'm afraid they will all be lost here.
Yun Zhao’s really good plan is to cut off Jian Nu’s wings first, and then leave the hard bones of Lantian City to Jian Nu to gnaw on. When the time comes, if one Jian Nu dies, there will be one less. With their small population, Yun Zhao will forget it. If you change one for another, you will make a lot of money.
When Lantian City completely establishes its foothold, Hahaha, Xuanfu and Datong will become the fruit in Yun Zhao's hands, and he can eat it as he wants.
Guofeng, it’s easy to make a career with someone like Yun Zhao. It’s not too difficult to leave a name in history.
It’s just too dangerous. >
Do you still remember how we two brothers were tricked into Chang'an City? We were so fucking manipulated.
Just think of that fat woman all over me. The bath water makes me feel sick now!"
Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "Is it okay for us brothers to abide by the law? Only those who think too much will be unlucky and follow Yun Zhao with their heads covered. Yes, everything will end well."
"How can you be so sure?"
Zhang Guofeng put his hands on the back of his head and said leisurely: "Yushan Academy!"
< p>Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said: "Indeed, Yushan Academy is our final safety guarantee."Zhang Guofeng smiled and said: "It is the safety guarantee for all of us."
Li Dingguo , Zhang Guofeng had a safety guarantee, but Battelle did not have such a safety guarantee. When he led the Mongolian cavalry to fight to the death with Jiannu in the walled city, no place was safe.
Fortunately, there were more than a dozen Han family members fighting alongside him, especially the scholar with a pockmarked face, who seemed to be gentle and gentle. Only after he went to the battlefield, Battelle It was discovered that this person was an expert in killing.
Looking at his long knife wiping across the neck of a white-armored soldier, it seemed that the damage was not great, but the white-armored soldier’s hammer was clearly less than a foot away from Xu Wuxiang’s waist and ribs. , but there was nothing he could do to swing the hammer to inflict more damage to this guy.
When fighting within ten steps, handguns are almost always successful. These Han people especially like to bombard people's heads and faces with iron sand. Whenever the handguns sound, there will always be one or more Jianzhou people covering their faces. He fell to the ground and struggled, and when he got up again, the facial features on his head were in a mess.
This made Battelle strongly believe that Xu Wu Xianglian might have been bombarded by a handgun.
Xu Wu thought before continuingAs he advanced, Battle could only continue to keep up, and the slaves always thought that the taller Xu Wuxiang seemed to be more of a threat than the short Xu Wuxiang, and the most powerful warriors always chose to get rid of him first.
I just received the battle report. Li Dingguo’s small group of cavalry has destroyed most of the food and grass in Yue Tuo Camp. Lu Xiangsheng’s army has also completed the military task of rescuing slaves. Only the Mongolian army under his command is still there. The outskirts of Yue Tuo's camp were fought hard.
This gave him a strong sense of shame. The military orders sent by Qian Shaoshao became more severe and the wording became more unpleasant each time.
Seeing the Mongolian warriors die in battle one by one, Battelle was heartbroken. He bit the neck of a Jiannu who was hugging him hard and tore off a large piece of flesh. Without chewing, he swallowed it in one gulp, threw away the half-dead Jiannu, opened his bloody mouth and shouted: "Do it again!"
Xu Wu wanted to see Battelle as mighty as a god in the rebel army, and suddenly left. The one who killed him on the right was like a god coming, and he shouted: "The general is mighty!"
Soon more people were shouting "The general is mighty!" His personal bravery for a moment was unexpectedly... It greatly improved the Mongolians' fighting courage.
Yue Tuo stood on a high platform and witnessed Battle's bravery, and said to the scarred Du Du: "This Mongolian is fighting for Yun Zhao with his own life, get rid of him." "
Du Du glanced at the veteran Wogu, who smiled and said, "I'll be back soon."
After that, he picked up a mace. Left the high platform.
A cannonball exploded near the high platform. Yue Tuo waved his sleeves to wave away the smoke. Immediately, another cannonball exploded at the base of the high platform. The wooden high platform shook. Du Du said to Yue Tuo. Said: "Let's go, it's not stable here."
Yue Tuo smiled and said to Du Du: "What, your soul was blown away by the cannon?"
Du Du His face was slightly red, he shook his head and said: "The power of artillery cannot be resisted by flesh and blood, especially the explosive shells, which are very powerful in the rebel army.
We don't have cannons, too It's a shame. After I go back, I must explain the importance of cannons to His Majesty.
Our Qing Dynasty has a sparse population. Even if we capture savages from the Black Forest, we will not be able to make ends meet with this method of fighting. ”
Yue Tuo nodded slowly, thinking that what Du Du said made sense. It was not that he had never seen the power of cannons before, but for artillery that was easy to operate and extremely powerful like Lantian County, he still First time seeing it.
As Du Du said, when the two armies began to confront each other and could only begin to compete for population, the Qing Dynasty was at an absolute disadvantage.
Fan Wencheng, who had not spoken for a long time, had his eyelids twitching violently, and he always felt a chill on his back.
Can't help but say: "Two Baylors, can Yunzhao take advantage by continuing to fight with us?"
Du Du sneered: "The best we can do is exchange. , it’s a matter of killing one thousand enemies and losing three thousand.”
Fan Wencheng sighed and said: "It would be fine if we exchanged sons with those black-clad troops in Lantian, but now we are exchanging sons with the Mongols.
When we were in the Central Plains, We drove the Mongols to exchange sons with Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others, and eventually our army of servants was exhausted.
Now, the situation has turned, and Yun Zhao began to exchange the lives of the Mongols. The lives of our Qing soldiers are at stake.
Yun Zhao’s intentions are so vicious. Even if all these Mongols are killed, as long as he achieves his goal of consuming our military strength, he will win no matter what. < /p>
Two Baylors, it’s time to think about how to end the war.”
Yue Tuo smiled bitterly and said: “We are being targeted by evil dogs. We can’t get rid of them. Let’s leave the camp. We will suffer even more losses.
We can only wait here for Dorgon to arrive before doing anything else."
Fan Wencheng's face suddenly turned pale and he stammered: " Could it be that the reason why Yun Zhao bit us like a mad dog was to ambush Prince Shuorui?"
As soon as Fan Wencheng said this, Yue Tuo and Du Du both laughed, seemingly in no mood? I explained to him the joints involved, and when I saw that the artillery fire of the Blue Sky Army seemed to be getting more intense and had a tendency to extend, I hurriedly got off the high platform.
Bartelle's long sword slashed down like a thunderbolt, but was blocked by a mace. A veteran wearing heavy armor appeared in front of him. This veteran had just appeared, and the surrounding buildings The people of the state gave way to an open space one after another.
When Battle looked back, he found that Xu Wu wanted to wait for a group of Han people to imitate the example of building slaves and dispersed, leaving him with the man opposite him who looked lean, but his whole body was as if cast from steel. A place for veterans to compete.
Veteran Wogu sneered, dragging the huge mace step by step closer to Battle. Unwilling to retreat, Battle slowly approached Wogu with a long knife.
Xu Wu wanted to see that the people outside this small circle seemed to be stopping, so he rushed towards the nearest Jiannu with a knife, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to chop the knife on the guy's shoulder.
The injured Jiannu roared and fell to the ground. Xu Wuxiang, the angry finger, wanted to fight back but was unable to do anything. The other Jiannu were furious and rushed towards Xu Wuxiang.
"Boom!"
The two handguns fired in unison, knocking away the rushing Jiannu. Then, more Jiannu rushed over, and the battlefield began again. normal operation.
Lao Wogu's mace was so powerful and heavy that every blow was unavoidable for Battelle, so he could only swing the sword hard. After a few blows, Battelle's hand was filled with the hundred-refined essence produced in Lantian County. The steel knife finally broke under the load.
Battle’s forehead had been cracked, and blood was dripping from his fingers. He glanced around, wanting someone to help him, but found that everyone was trapped. During the hard battle, no one was idle.
Old Wogu said with a ferocious smile: "Go to hell!"
Speaking of the huge maceAnother hit on the head, Battle dodged, trying to take advantage of the emptiness in Wogu's arms to entangle him, but unexpectedly Old Wogu raised a foot and stomped heavily on his face.
Battle screamed, and two teeth flew out with blood. Before his body could stand still, his neck was tightly strangled by an arm, and then Lao Wogu took him with him. The rusty breath appeared in his ears. Battle tried to break free from this arm, but no matter how hard he kicked, it was to no avail.
Just when he was about to lose his senses, a voice seemed to come from a distant place: "Oh no, the general died in battle, take revenge on the general!"
A large bright flame appeared in front of him, and then there was severe pain on his face. Not only his face, but also his eyes, nose, mouth... His whole head was hurting, like His head seemed to be in pieces.
The arm around his neck also lost its strength. Battle staggered away from the restraints and opened his mouth to speak, but he could only make a "hissing" sound like a poisonous snake. He tried to open his eyes. , but everything was dark in front of him...
It was Xu Wuxiang who shot him. Battelle was very sure. At this moment, he was so angry at Xu Wuxiang that he opened his arms and shot at Xu Wuxiang. He rushed towards him, but was hugged by a pair of familiar arms around his waist. Old Wogu, who also lost his facial features, hugged his life-and-death enemy tightly, opened his broken mouth and bit down on Battle's neck skillfully.
Battle’s hands tightly hugged Old Wogu’s head, and his two thick thumbs forcefully inserted into Old Wogu’s eyes.
Lao Wogu bit out Battle's blood vessel and swallowed his blood. Battle inserted his thumb deeply into Lao Wogu's eye socket, squeezed out the remaining rotten eyeball and penetrated deep into his brain. ...
The two hugged each other so tightly that they were no longer breathing. They still stood in the middle of the battlefield hugging each other, with more corpses lying around them.
"General——"
Xu Wu wanted to rush forward and snatch back Battle's body. At this time, some Jiannu soldiers also rushed forward and wanted to Get back Lao Wogu's body.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not separate the two.
The fire gun in Xu Wuxiang's hand sounded again, and the Jiannu who were fighting for the bodies with him screamed and fell to the ground. The other Mongolian soldiers took the opportunity to lift the bodies of Bater and Lao Wogu and retreat.
Another burst of fierce artillery fire hit the battlefield, cutting off the support path of the Jiannu army. Xu Wuxiang banged the gong hard and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat..."
