Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 311 Chapter 310, Zhu Cihong issued an order to chase and kill, and saw the eminent monk laying down the pattern
Zhu Cixiang looked at the city of Lhasa with a smile.

Fang Gonggan stood beside Zhu Cilang happily, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, from now on, this Qinghai-Tibet will be the real territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

For hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty had only nominal suzerainty over the Qinghai-Tibet region, and the so-called Xuanweisi was just a false title obtained by the local leaders after they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

But now, everything is different.

Ming's army penetrated all the way from Qinghai to Tibet, and finally conquered Lhasa, a city that is very important to Tibet.

Where the army goes, it means where the Ming Dynasty can reach!
Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded: "Of course our Ming Dynasty's territory is more than this!"

For Zhu Cihong, the two maps of Ming Dynasty in the textbook are really - too small!
The layout is small, the territory is even smaller!

But what is very painful is that even the territory in the two textbooks was not completely controlled by the government like modern China.

What Zhu Cihong is doing now is actually patching Daming, first fixing the territories in the textbook.

The outside must be safe first!

Fang Gong said happily: "Your Highness, Qingzang is now settled, and it's the turn of Liaodong's Jiannu next?"

Zhu Cihong laughed, and said seriously: "It's natural."

Why we attacked Qinghai-Tibet first was actually to eliminate an ally of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The entire war actually served the purpose of annihilating the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Fang Gongqian was obviously in a good mood. He smiled at Zhu Cixiang and said, "Your Highness, when will we return to the imperial court? To be honest, I really miss the capital these few months since I have been away."

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Who isn't? But, you have to kill Gushi Khan first."

Although Gushi Khan has been passively beaten when facing Zhu Cixiang, like a fool, but in fact, if you think about it, you will know that under the pressure of the powerful Junggar tribe, he can still create a vast and powerful city from scratch. How could the founder of the Te Khanate be a mediocre person?
It can only be said that Gushi Khan's luck was really too bad, to meet such a monster as Zhu Cihong!
Zhu Cilang raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun was approaching the western skyline at this moment, and it seemed that it would be setting in an hour or two.

Looking down at the city of Lhasa, the smoke from the most majestic city on the plateau has gradually subsided, and even the shouts of killing coming from inside are extremely weak.

Zhu Cihong said: "Let's go into the city."

Under the escort of thousands of heavily armed Musketeers, Zhu Cihong began to enter the city.

After entering the city, Zhu Cixiang met the British Duke.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" The British official was obviously surprised.

Zhu Cixiang looked at the British Duke and found that the Ming Dynasty's Duke was covered in blood, but he was full of energy and walked vigorously.

Obviously the blood was not his.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Prince Yingying, have you found Gushi Khan?"

The British Duke shook his head, and said: "I heard that Li Dingguo took people to the palace as soon as he entered the city."

For the Duke of England, after all, he is a hereditary noble, an old general, and he can't do that kind of shameless thing.

Zhu Cihong snorted, and said to Fang Gong beside him, "Go, find Li Dingguo."

When Li Dingguo came, he was not in a good spirit: "The general has seen His Highness."

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something: "Where's Gushi Khan's head?"

Li Dingguo was obviously a little ashamed: "Your Highness, it is the last general who is incompetent..."

After listening to Li Dingguo's description, Zhu Cihong's frown deepened.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, Zhu Cihong spoke: "Gushi Khan cannot be allowed to live. If he is alive, he will be a huge trouble for the Ming Dynasty in ruling Qinghai-Tibet."

The British Duke immediately said: "Your Highness, the old minister is willing to lead the cavalry to chase him down!"

Zhu Cihong nodded, and glanced at the ashamed Li Dingguo: "Li Dingguo, you also take a troop to set off. Then order all the Ming cavalry to set off immediately, whoever can send the head of Gushhan Khan to the front of the palace, Ben Gong rewards him with 20 taels of silver!"

20 taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money in this era!
All the Ming troops who had just occupied Lhasa city were in a commotion. It was already late at night, but there were still a large number of cavalry leaving Lhasa city in groups, chasing along the direction where Gush Khan escaped according to the information.

Zhu Cihong spent this night in Gushi Khan's palace.

"The poor monk has seen His Highness." The eminent monk who had just been released saluted Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong looked at the eminent monk in front of him, and said gently: "I heard that Gush Khan imprisoned the eminent monk. I was worried about what would happen to the eminent monk. Now that the eminent monk is fine, I feel relieved."

Although this eminent monk has been imprisoned in Lhasa, he actually contributed a lot to this war.

The monk class represented by eminent monks mobilized a lot of power to help and support the Ming army, including but not limited to persuading many Heshuote tribe leaders to surrender, persuading believers to provide food, grass and military supplies for the Ming army, and providing a large number of troops from the Heshuote Khanate. Military intelligence and more.

The eminent monk also said in a gentle tone: "In fact, this still depends on His Highness's military exploits. If His Highness hadn't broken through Lhasa, the poor monk and other monks might not be able to escape Gushhan's murderous hands this time."

Zhu Cihong laughed and said: "The eminent monk is blessed by the Buddha, how could the gushi sweat possibly hurt the eminent monk?"

The eminent monk sighed and said, "Although the Buddha has blessed us, no one can say what will happen in the future."

Zhu Cihong said solemnly: "In the future, everyone in this land will still be able to freely believe in whatever they want to believe in, and the Ming court will not interfere in any way."

The eminent monk showed a rare smile, and said: "The poor monk and other monks have communicated and agreed that this land used to be the territory of Ming Dynasty, and it will be more so in the future. If it is possible, the poor monk hopes that the imperial court can send officials to enter In Lhasa, poor monks and others must fully cooperate."

Zhu Cixi laughed loudly and said: "I heard that Gushi Khan imposed heavy taxes on the temples, so from now on, the taxes will be half of what they were during the Gushi Khan period. However, before the Qinghai-Tibet region has a sufficient population, It is better not to increase the number of practitioners in the temple for the time being."

The eminent monk pondered for a moment and said, "If the Buddha notices this, I'm afraid he won't be happy."

Zhu Cilang sighed, and said: "If my father, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, knows that this palace has not done what he ordered, I'm afraid it will be even more displeased."

The eminent monk took a deep look at Zhu Cihong: "I never thought His Highness would be so wise at such a young age."

Zhu Cihong spread his hands and said with a smile: "The current situation is forcing, eminent monk!"

The eminent monk thought for a while, and took off the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.

Zhu Cihong gestured to Fang Gonggan, and the string of Buddhist beads soon arrived in Zhu Cihong's hands.

Seeing Zhu Cilang put the Buddha beads on his hands, the eminent monk smiled again: "From today on, Your Highness, you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva of the Western Paradise, and also the Dharma King of my Yellow Sect."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Just like Gushi Khan?"

The eminent monk said solemnly: "How can Gushi Khan He De be compared with His Highness?"

Zhu Cixiang said: "It seems good to be a Dharma King, but the previous conditions cannot be changed."

The eminent monk froze for a moment when he heard the words, and sighed after a long time: "Your Highness...you are really wise. Then, just as His Highness said."
