By the Khalkha River.

A pagoda had been built, and Galdan was taking a group of monks around the pagoda. This was a ceremony. Manchu and Mongolian nobles and herdsmen were watching. When the ceremony ended, from Galdan, a group of monks began to recite scriptures loudly. Then, the nobles who were familiar with the scriptures also sang. Although the herdsmen could not recite scriptures, they recited the Buddha's name together at this moment, and the sound shocked the eight wildernesses, which shone with the sorrow and solemn meaning of this battlefield.

Sony rode his horse to the mound next to the Buddha. A young general appeared beside him. Fei Yanggu, who was currently at the peak of his life in the Qing court. During the battle between the imperial cavalry crossing the Xing'an Mountains and raiding Hulunbuir, Fei Yanggu's performance was remarkable. He first stabilized the situation, and then left the city alone to face the enemy. He had achieved great success. If it weren't for him, the Qing Dynasty would have lost all its might.

"What is the situation around? If the Eastern cavalry attacks at this moment, it will be bad." Sony frowned and looked at the group of people who were addicted to the Dharma Assembly, and felt quite resentful. He knew very well that no matter how pious he was to the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, he could not stop the army from the south. What's more, they gathered here to gather together to deal with him, but even so, he had to protect their safety.

Fei Yanggu had a smile on his face, reached out to catch a falling snowflake, and said, "It's this time, the Eastern Band soldiers have retreated to Lingdong. Those who stayed in Hulunbuir are just horse teams and spies, not worth mentioning."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll be at ease to welcome the emperor here." Sony said angrily.

The two returned to the military camp together and entered the tent. Sony shook the snowflakes on his body, his eyes were dull, and he was thinking about something in his heart. Soon, a soldier came in and gave Fei Yanggu a roll of parchment. Fei Yanggu took a look and handed it to Sony. It said that all the remarks of Galdan during the ceremony and construction of the Buddha were said in front of the believers of all people, and among the nobles. To Sony's expectations, Galdan's remarks were extremely beneficial to the rule of the Qing Dynasty. He described the invasion of the empire as evil deeds, and advocated that the herdsmen and the people respected the Qing emperor to resist foreign humiliation. Even if it was to save the dead, he said that he was following the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and so on.

"What do you think?" Sony asked Fei Yanggu.

"Invite people's hearts."

Sony smiled: "I invite people to buy hearts for the Emperor of Qing?"

"That is, if we cannot win the favor of the emperor and the empress dowager, how can we become the leader of the monks in Mobei?" Fei Yang Ancient Dao.

Sony nodded slightly. He had always had many doubts about the envoy of Galdan, especially wondering whether he represented Tibet or Junggar. Now it seems that he has also targeted the position of religious leader in Mobei. After all, the original leader Tsepundanba had already surrendered to the enemy country. In Mobei, religion has always been less powerful than secular regimes and has to rely on secular regimes. Galdan obviously has this plan.

"Then what you mean is to do as he wants?" Sony asked.

Fei Yanggu said: "At least what he is doing is conducive to the Qing Dynasty's rule in the northern desert, and it is also what the Empress Dowager is willing to see. Lord Sony, I know you don't like monks, but at this moment, you really need them to govern China with Confucianism and Taoism and puzzling Mongolia with monks, right?"

Sony sighed: "I am always worried that this is boiling frogs in warm water and destroying themselves."

The Qing Dynasty fled from the capital to the north of the Mobei region. Known people, including Sony, Fei Yanggu and others, all hoped to "save the nation and survive". One thing was a consensus among the top leaders of the Qing court, that is, "learning the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians." In fact, this was a strategy during the Shunzhi Dynasty, from learning the flintlock rifles and field artillery of the empire to learning the military formation tactics of the ** country. In the Qing Dynasty, there was no moral obstacle to learning the enemy. Isn't it just learning the Ming Dynasty in the Nurhaci era?

Compared to Fei Yanggu who was staring at the military of the empire, Sony valued politics more. After years of studying the empire, he gradually recognized the various ideas of the empire. Regarding religion, Sony also believed that religion was a good means to rule the people and control people's hearts, but it also restricted the development of society. Sony's contradiction is here. If the Qing Dynasty wants to revive and rise, it cannot be burdened by religion. But the reality is that ruling Mongolia is inseparable from monks.

Fei Yanggu couldn't think of that, but he understood the thoughts of Sony, the old man. When he first arrived in Mobei, Sony also greeted monks with a smile and favored them. However, when he survived, he regarded monks as conservative forces that hindered change.

The two were talking, but the chanting of scriptures outside stopped. Soon after, the guards came to send a message saying that Galdan wanted to meet the two, and Sony should allow him to come in.

Galdan entered the tent and was neither humble nor arrogant. He started chatting with Sony and Fei Yanggu. When he talked about the Qing emperor who had arrived at the Krulun River and was going to spend this winter in Hulunbuir. Galdan expressed his intention. Galdan said: "A few days ago in Kulun, I have negotiated with the Empress Dowager for cooperation. Whether it is the matter entrusted by the master or the tribe, I have already stated that the envoy's responsibilities have been fulfilled, and it is useless to go to see the car again. Therefore, I don't want to go to Hulunbuir City to spend the winter, but want to travel to the place. I don't know if the two adults are allowed."

"Traveling in the place?" Fei Yanggu and Sony looked at each other, and Fei Yanggu laughed: "Master, don't joke. As a master, you are a guest of the Qing Dynasty. How can you not entertain in the center? Besides, the winter is coming soon. The winter is bitter and cold, even worse than Tibet. If a basin of boiling water is poured out, it will melt in a moment. In this kind of season, you can't travel. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it."

However, Galdan insisted that he could hand over the position of the messenger to the deputy envoy in the mission, and said that he would not lead the brigade to travel, but only brought two or three servants, just to visit the poor and ask about the suffering and promote Buddhism. He also said that he often did this, had rich experience, and so on, as if he was determined to travel.

Sony listened on the side, feeling something was wrong with this matter. He smiled: "Master, it's not that I don't let go, I really can't take responsibility. Let's do this. The Holy Lord will arrive in a few days. You and I will go to Hulunbuir City and asked the Empress Dowager in person. If the Empress Dowager allows me, we will naturally not stop you."

"Okay, okay." Galdan knew it was not easy to force it, so he had to do it.

Taking Galdan out, Fei Yanggu shook his sleeves and cursed: "This bald donkey is traveling so well, it really causes me trouble."

Sony knew that the Hulunbuir area was Fei Yanggu's jurisdiction. Galdan had a good time, and the first person in charge was Fei Yanggu, so he would not agree. However, Sony guessed that he threw out the milk tea in the pot and only put the tea leaves in it. After brewing, he poured Fei Yanggu a cup and said, "Fei Yanggu, be at ease, be at ease..."

"Sir, he must have had some other thoughts. Otherwise, the forces behind him gave him other tasks, otherwise, who would have been drilled into the snow at this time of the season?" Fei Yanggu said angrily.

Sony said: "I guessed one or two."

"You said." Fei Yanggu sat down quickly and asked for advice.

Sony said: "Since the beginning of this year, Galdan has been to the north of Mobei, the north of Mobei, Tibet and the Western Regions. What's the difference? Why do he have to travel? I see, the place he is talking about is not traveling in this Khalkha place."

Fei Yanggu's eyes widened: "You mean he is going to Lingdong, or going south to the south of the desert!"

Sony nodded, Fei Yanggu was furious and slapped the table: "This bald donkey, I treat him so well with the Empress Dowager of the Supreme Court, he actually wants to surrender to the East Fan. Damn, I have to make him look good."

Sony said: "Galdan was born in the north of Tianshan Mountains, but studied in Tibet for a long time. He was a remote place and never set foot in the Central Plains. He was born when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. It can be said that his first ten years of life were enlightened by the story of my ancestors sweeping the world. Then in the next ten years, he heard the Dongfan jumping and the Dongfan troubled the world. Such people were curious about the Qing Dynasty and even more curious about the Dongfan, but hearing it was false and seeing it was true. He naturally wanted to see it. Moreover, he shouldered the heavy responsibility. Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Li Thief of the Dongfan, he wanted to win over the Huang Sect, cut off the relationship with the other party, and forced them to choose one. Not to mention such a big thing, even if you buy a horse, you have to look at each other. After comparing it, you will pay for it? He has watched the Qing Dynasty this summer and autumn, so he naturally wanted to go and see the Dongfan."

"Then I can't allow him to go." Fei Yanggu said.

Fei Yanggu was also very young and even served in the army early. When he was young, he was used to seeing the generals of the Eight Banners going south and returning triumphantly. However, as the name of the Eastern Banners became more and more prosperous, the Eight Banners became less and less triumphant. After every battle with the Eastern Banners, the Eight Banners in the capital were the ending of every family filial piety and everyone cried bitterly. Even if he did not admit it, he could not deny the prosperity of the Eastern Banners, let alone this powerful country had ruled inside and outside the Great Wall. Its momentum was far beyond the Song and Ming dynasties, and it was approaching the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. The Qing dynasty was completely incomparable to it. Will Galdan choose the Qing dynasty? If Tibet and the Western Regions echo the Qing dynasty, early and late, the Qing dynasty would not be able to survive in the north of the Mo. Zhu Ming, who was not as good as the Han and Tang dynasties, all had the great cause of attacking Mongolia for five times and soldiers to capture the fish sea.

Sony shook his head and said, "I think the Queen Mother will allow him to go."

"Why?" Fei Yanggu was puzzled.

Sony sighed: "It is hard to say whether the Qing Dynasty or the Eastern Fan is strong or weak, but if we talk about the relatives of Huang Cult, our Qing Dynasty is far superior to the Eastern Fan. No matter what, Galdan is still a monk. Who can not think about it for himself?"
