Chapter 842: The Preferential Treatment Given to the Eighth Generation Tatsuse

When the first soldier of the guerrillas who sneaked onto the dock climbed up to the top of the city wall, the Russian resistance finally came late. The unfortunate guerrilla soldier was hit in the chest and abdomen by a lead bullet and fell into the sea screaming. But the Russian officer who took out a pistol and shot him dead was also shot dead by the sniper behind him. Even though the latter was still "floating" on the water at this moment.

The Russian resistance lasted less than ten minutes. As more and more boats arrived at the dock and the shore, and as more and more guerrillas boarded the dock, the Russians in charge of guarding the dock shouted and dispersed.

The dock of Astrakhan fell so easily.

That night, the flames in Astrakhan reflected half of the sky red.

The only shipyard on the west coast of the Caspian Sea was completely reduced to ashes in the fire.

This battle has been determined in Chen Ming's mind.

Chen Ming no longer needs to pay more attention to the war against Russia.

Because the war in China is over.

With Chen Han's current national strength and preparation, the war has approached the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, which has achieved perfect results and the greatest results. If it wants to extend westward, it is no longer capable.

Then, Chen Han will stop while he is ahead. Drag the war to the east of the Ural River and the Ural Mountains.

Just when the Russian army was worrying about how to organize a new eastern defense line, they did not know that Chen Ming's energy had already turned to the development of Chen Han's domestic affairs.

For example, the development and utilization of Heilongjiang, the construction of North American vassal states and greater immigration...

Of course, Chen Ming also needs to face the problem of Tibet.

For China and Chen Ming, their importance has surpassed the Sino-Russian war.

The power of Tibet, for now, is the most vigilant force in the southwest of Chen Han.

The special plateau environment and harsh climate of Tibet have created a perfect natural protective layer for the local indigenous people.

For thousands of years, Tibet has never been touched by "outsiders". Even the invincible Mongolian cavalry back then was deterred by the ‘roof of the world’.

As for Gushri Khan, who later conquered Tibet, and Tsewang Arabtan, who attempted to rule Tibet, their lives were in the Great West – Qinghai-Tibet Frontier, and they believed in Tantric Buddhism. These people were really not outsiders.

Chen Ming initially took into account the altitude sickness of Tibet, and the nobles and Dasai Bandan of Tibet were all very sensible, so the National Defense Army under Chen Ming stopped at the western border of Sichuan. Later, they used the Jinchuan River to sacrifice the flag, then nibbled Qinghai and Mongolia, marched into the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and finally completely suppressed the strength of Tibet back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Now it is time for Chen Han to solve the Tibetan problem. Two years ago, according to Chen Ming’s order, some people had crossed the Hengduan Mountains and entered the Tibetan control area, and established a series of new immigrant towns on the dividing line.

What this means is already obvious.

The emperor in Nanjing can no longer tolerate the semi-independent situation that Tibet has maintained for a long time.

Because India will become a new growth point of interests that China will focus on in the next few decades.

The influence of Tibet on the southern foot of the Himalayas is the biggest reason why China must control Tibet. Therefore, if the princes and nobles of Tibet and the high-level Buddhist Tantric leaders are smart, it will be fine. Otherwise, they will be in trouble.

The series of immigrant towns of different sizes on the border are the main cornerstones of Chen Han's strategy for Tibet. Because many of the people in these immigrant towns are of mixed Han and Tibetan descent or mixed Han and Tibetan families, they are the Tibetans that Chen Han previously managed to "educate" in western Sichuan and Qinghai.

Now these people speak a migrant Chinese, wear Han clothes, eat the same food as Han people, and even do the same work as Han people.

Even among the reorganized fifth division specially formed by the National Defense Army, a considerable number of soldiers come from western Sichuan and Qinghai.

In the past dozen years, Nanjing generally maintained restraint on Tibet, and these towns were a model, showing the new life to all walks of life in Tibet.

What Chen Ming wants to do in the end is to completely sinicize Tibet, rather than copying the rabbits to build an autonomous region. Even if it is nominal, it has certain negative significance. To sinicize Tibet and establish a solid rule there, it is inseparable from the support and cooperation of the Tibetans who have lived here for generations, so it is important to let them see the "beauty".

More importantly, Chen Ming feels that Chen Han has the ability and strength to solve the Tibetan problem, and it is time to completely take back the ruling power held by the monks.

Just as the eyes of the Nanjing monarchs and ministers were scanning the "strategic areas" like radars, in the early morning, on the sea surface 20 to 30 nautical miles northwest of Singapore in the Strait of Malacca, a large hard sailing ship with the Big Dipper flag was sailing towards Singapore at a uniform speed. On the bow deck, two well-dressed passengers were looking at the distant sea level with great interest, looking forward to the appearance of the destination.

Under the instructions of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Wo, the general manager of Tiannan Shipbuilding Company, is now riding the latest product of Tiannan Shipbuilding Company, which is also China's first ultra-large hard sailing ship with a full load displacement of more than 3,500 tons, cutting through the waves. . This merchant ship, with a maximum cargo capacity of more than 1,500 tons, is currently the largest ship in the country. Its full load displacement exceeds 3,500 tons, which is one-quarter higher than the navy's flagship. It can completely catch up with the level of European sailing boats.

Of course, the speed is even worse.

Eastern-style hard sailing ships have advantages that Western soft sailing ships do not have, and they also have defects that Western soft sailing ships do not have. Comfortable sailing environment, simple and safe control and crew, and high speed when facing the wind are all things that Western soft sailing boats cannot have.

But the speed of hard sailing boats is a big flaw.

In the increasingly mundane business exchanges between the East and the West, Western-style soft sailing ships overwhelmed the Eastern hard sailing ships with absolute advantages. But this does not mean that the latter has no market demand at all.

Focusing on regional maritime trade, for example, there is still a large market for traditional oriental sailing ships along the coast of China, including Southeast Asia.

Tiannan Shipbuilding Company is a manufacturer that specializes in oriental-style hard sailing ships. This new large-scale shipyard controlled by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce is also a newly established shipbuilding company.

On the basis of the six-masted ship in the past, we continued our efforts and finally built a seven-masted ship.

Compared with the Taihu fishing boat, which is also a "seven-masted ship", the Yueyang No. 1 produced by Tiannan Shipyard is much larger in tonnage.

This time, the 'Yueyang No. 1' departed from Qiongzhou Island, sailed directly to Singapore, and then to Jinghai. Its final destination was Mumbai on the west coast of India. In addition to more than a hundred passengers on board, there was also a security team of a hundred people. The cargo carried by Yueyang No. 1 is mainly fruit candies, silk, porcelain, tea, and equipment produced in Lingnan, with a total volume of more than 1,000 tons.

"The ships passed down by the elders of our country are not inferior to Westerners. Jiangnan Trading Company's decision to purchase such large-tonnage Eastern-style hard sailing ships is very wise. They are just like Western-style sailing ships engaged in ocean transportation, waiting pitifully for time. It’s a huge waste in the monsoon!”

Zhu Wo said this to the captain of Yueyang No. 1 next to him, full of confidence. The latter also believed in Zhu Wo's words, because everyone knew that although Zhu Wo's father, Zhu Zhiwei, had resigned from Jiangnan Trading Company, the influence of the old Zhu family in Jiangnan Trading Company was deep-rooted.

…

In Nanjing City, Chen Hui avoided Zhang Jia III's request for an audience.

After his emperor's son cleaned up Mongolia, he finally targeted Tibet. Although Zhangjia III had never lived in Tibet for a few days in his life, as a representative of Tantric Buddhism in the central government, he never lived in Tibet during these days. The 'help' letter that flew from hiding almost completely annihilated her like snowflakes.

Zhangjia III's status in the Chen-Han Dynasty was very noble, because the Chen family wanted to accept his affection, and correspondingly, the interests of the Tantric believers in Mongolia and Tibet were "protected", and they also accepted his affection.

When danger did not come, one can imagine how nourishing Zhangjia III's life was.

But when danger comes, he has to shoulder the trust of his past supporters and drag his tired body around Nanjing again and again.

The emperor wants to abolish serfdom.

The "heaven" of Tibet is about to be broken.

Everyone in Tibet is terrified, the aristocratic monks are terrified, and the Tibetans at the bottom who are being exploited are also terrified.

This is a kind of shock when the long-term "stable" social structure is broken.

In addition to the upper-class people who were turbulent in their hearts, the serfs whose fate had been changed were also at a loss. They account for more than 95% of the Tibetan population. Serfs and slaves are divided into three classes: Chaba, Duichung and Langsheng. Chaba and Duiqiong were serfs and did not have personal freedom, and they could not leave their lords at will. Lanson was a slave, working for the serf owner completely free of charge, and was the private property of the serf owner.

No matter how secretive Buddhist Tantric Buddhism is, they are still Buddhism.

In the traditional understanding of the Chinese people, Buddhism is compassionate, but looking at the rule of these monks in Tibet is really chilling.

Serfs were lifelong dependent on officials, nobles, and upper-level monks in monasteries. They had no personal freedom, and serf owners could beat, punish, sell, give away, imprison, or execute serfs and slaves at will.

There is a saying among the serfs in Tibet: "All you can take away is your own figure, and all you can leave behind are your own footprints."

Isn’t it scary?

The old Tibetan law stipulates: "Anyone who rebels against the people will commit a serious crime." Not only will he be put to death, but his family property will be confiscated and his wife will be made a slave. The fifth Dalai Lama even issued an edict: "The people of Laziba obey my orders... If you try to find freedom and comfort again, I have authorized Laziba to chop off your hands and feet." , gouge out eyes, beat and kill.” This edict was reiterated many times by subsequent authorities.

During this turmoil, this edict written by the Fifth Tatsuze was also sacrificed by many upper-class Tibetan people as a form of protection. But Emperor Chen simply scoffed at this edict.

Apart from refreshing his horizons, such an edict had no effect on Mao.

Chen Ming has many things to care about now, and he doesn't intend to waste too much energy on this matter. Emperor Chen's plan often meant that the court would use rough and simple methods when dealing with Tibetan affairs.

Although Chen Ming was prepared to relocate the Tibetan natives, the land was still not found. Besides, he really didn't believe that the Tibetans didn't know what was good and what was good.

What kind of life did these serfs live before? What kind of suffering are you eating?

But now?

Now that they have freedom in life, fields, and livestock, Chen Ming doesn't believe that there are really idiots who still hope to live the original hard life.

It's like the hiding place in the previous life.

Although Taizu has been dead for many years, most Tibetan people still have statues of Taizu hanging in their homes. The proportion of Taizu statues in Tibetan homes is the highest in the country.

Taizu never regarded himself as a god, and he opposed the myth of himself, but Tibetans respected him like a Buddha. There has never been a Han in history who could make Tibetan people worship like gods. All of this is voluntary and a simple emotion.

In the homes of Tibetans in the 21st century, you can always see a portrait of Mao Zedong hanging in a prominent place, covered with a white hada. Most of the portraits were made in the 1960s and 1970s, and there are also new prints.

What's the reason for this?

So many Tibetans choose the position of their butts based on their actual performance. Even if there are a few Tibetans, they cannot represent the whole population, right?

And Taizu’s status in the hearts of Tibetans is so high, what does this mean? Just as obvious.

The seventy-four-year-old Zhang Jia III finally met Chen Hui, and Chen Hui directly pulled Chen Ming over.

"Your Majesty is a hero with great wisdom, great perseverance, and great courage. All the people bow to your decision." Zhangjia III was a mature man, and he showed his obedient attitude at the beginning of the meeting.

The Chen Han court is no longer the Chen Han it was more than ten years ago.

That one fully organized reorganizer can slaughter the entire Tibetan area. As far as Tibet's armed forces are concerned, they are completely unstoppable in the face of the powerful Nanjing.

Zhangjia III himself had no intention of resisting.

He just hoped to get some benefit from the emperor's words, and at least sought a guarantee from the emperor's golden words: forgetting the past.

Zhangjia III still doesn’t know that he who is still alive today is very alive.

Zhang Jia III of the original time and space died five years ago. But now Zhangjia III is not only still alive, but also in good health. Judging from his posture, it is not a big problem to live to the age of eighty.

The eighth generation Tatsuse, who is in charge of the Yellow Sect, is now thirty-four years old and has been in charge for twelve years. The eighth Tatsuse was very resistant to Nanjing's decision. Zhangjia III hoped to see the emperor's preferential treatment for the eighth Tatsuse.

"Preferential treatment? Of course there is preferential treatment."

Chen Ming smiled easily, "Next year, I plan to implement the consultative bureau system nationwide and establish a national consultative bureau. Five participating seats can be allocated to Tibet."
