754 The Living Buddha
Either the mentality of giving up, or the situation in the capital was too unexpected.
As Eziertu walked, it didn’t matter whether it was a shame or not.
It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe the train station as crowded!
Even Eziertu himself had never seen so many people gathered in such a place.
People are coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, some are queuing out of the station with their luggage, and some are queuing on the train with their luggage.
Some are with family members, and some are a group of young men and women.
In short, there are all kinds of people.
Fortunately, they took a special channel, otherwise it would probably take half a day to leave the station.
"How come there are so many people?" Eziertu couldn't help it, so he asked the official of the Honglu Temple who was leading the way.
Hearing the question, the official of the Honglu Temple said proudly: "The Beijing Railway Station is the largest station in the world, traveling from south to north, either to Mongolia, Liaodong or Korea, or to Central Plains and Jiangnan, etc. Many people will transfer to the capital."
As he spoke, he pointed his hand at those who were with his family and continued, "Look, these people with his family and family usually go to Liaodong or North Korea. They go there to settle down. Although they are not as prosperous as the Central Plains, they live a comfortable life."
"There are those, they obviously go to Mongolia and do business."
“…”
While walking and introducing, I finally passed the special passage and left the train station, and it was still crowded.
However, Eziertu and others were a little numb.
However, after leaving the station, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"May I ask, what is that?" Eziertu asked in surprise, pointing at the group of people passing by in front of them.
Sengge was also surprised and asked, "Isn't this a coal burning?"
When the officials of Honglu Temple heard this, they glanced at what they were referring to, and immediately laughed and said, "Of course this is not a coal burning. This is called a bicycle. It is a human step on the wheels and then drives the two big wheels to rotate through the chain."
While talking, his subordinates pushed a bicycle over. So he continued to smile and said, "It's very simple, you guys see."
To be honest, the principle of bicycles is also very simple. Adults can understand after listening to the explanation.
After understanding this, Sengge couldn't help but sigh: "It's a wonderful idea. In this way, the road is very convenient. You don't have to feed the grass to take care of it, and you don't have to be born, old, sick and die! It seems that there are really many talented people in the Ming Dynasty!"
"To be honest, we were really shocked when we entered the pass. Many things were never seen!" Eziertu looked at all this and admitted.
When the official from Honglu Temple heard this, he immediately looked proud and more respectful. He clasped his fists and bowed to the top and said, "This is all brought by Duke Xingguo. All these changes are because Duke Xingguo alone!"
"What?" Sengge was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "The coal-burning train was also made by Duke Xingguo?"
The officials of Honglu Temple nodded immediately after hearing this.
"What about that electric light? It can be brighter with just pulling it, much brighter than the fire candle?" Eziertu asked curiously immediately.
The officials of Honglu Temple nodded again after hearing this.
"Then is there someone who can transmit voices for thousands of miles, no, it is something that can communicate with each other thousands of miles?"
After hearing this, the official from Honglu Temple nodded and said, "That is called a telephone, and it was also invented by Duke Xingguo!"
“…”
“…”
A group of Mongolians asked, and then the officials of the Honglu Temple kept nodding or answering a little.
At the end, Sengge's expression became serious and asked seriously: "This Duke Xingguo is so powerful, but is the reincarnation of a living Buddha?"
"It must be the reincarnation of a living Buddha!" Eziertu said after hearing this, "Otherwise, why would he be so capable?"
In their opinion, it was incredible that all these things were.
It is already amazing for everyone to invent one. However, so many inventions are actually done by Xingguo Gong. What is that not a living Buddha?
The officials of the Honglu Temple were also puzzled by this. Their guesses were actually similar to those of these Mongols. Although they were not guessing the living Buddhas, they also guessed the mysterious origin of Duke Xingguo, who might be the stars in the sky and descended to earth!
Then, these Mongolians rode horses and Honglu Temple officials rode bicycles, and a group of people rushed to the inn.
At this time, the production of light bicycles, especially bicycles with tires or rubber tires, was very small. In the Ming Dynasty, or in the capital, only people with status could get bicycles.
In a simple sentence, bicycles are a symbol of identity!
Look, the officials of the Honglu Temple were riding bicycles in a casual manner, and a group of Mongolians riding horses looked at them enviously, feeling really handsome!
……………………
The news that the Mongol envoy of Weilat arrived in the capital naturally reported it immediately.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen was talking to Zhang Mingwei. When he knew about this, he asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, the people from Wei Lat Mongolia have arrived. The leader is Eqiertu, who is the nephew of Gushikhan. How can we deal with their arrival?"
I have said before that if the Western Regions can be peacefully incorporated into the territory, of course it is the best.
Therefore, Zhang Mingwei understood what Emperor Chongzhen asked, and his intention was actually how he negotiated with these emissaries of Weilat Mongolia so that they could act according to the Ming Dynasty and truly become part of the Ming Dynasty, not just in name.
"Your Majesty, if it was the past, I really need to think about it!" Zhang Mingwei smiled and said, "But now our strength is here, so we don't need to think so much. Just put it on and say it, don't worry that they won't agree!"
During the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it not only had a great influence on the Central Plains dynasty, but also on all nomadic peoples.
It can even be said that nomadic people rely on the weather for their own income. The cold of the Little Ice Age was very harmful to the animal husbandry. The harm of the Baichao must be severe any time.
In fact, in the original history, only Jianlu had survived this Little Ice Age by plundering the Ming Dynasty. Other nomadic peoples were very weak in this period of history at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the Little Ice Age also weakened their strength.
On this plane, the nomadic peoples were affected by the Little Glacier, but the situation of the Ming Dynasty was greatly changed due to Zhang Mingwei's time travel. It can even be said that it is stronger than any dynasty.
Just imagine, under such a gap in strength, why do you need to worry about negotiations with Virat Mongolia?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen smiled happily when he heard this, and immediately said to Zhang Mingwei: "Then I will leave this matter to the sir, so I will worry more about moving the capital."
The territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded greatly, from the Arctic Ocean to the north, from the South Ocean to the south, from the Ryukyu in the Pacific Ocean and the original Kyushu Island in Japan, etc. The next focus was to continue to expand territory through the ocean. If the capital was continued to be the capital, it would not be very convenient.
Moving the capital back to Nanjing is very necessary for the imperial court to control Nanyang and for the subsequent strategic focus to be transferred overseas.
As for the north, especially the Mongolian grasslands, Siberia, etc., the Ming Dynasty did not mean to focus on development at this time. Let’s divide the world first and occupy those rich places.
However, the moving of the capital involves many aspects, and Zhang Mingwei is obviously not as familiar with people from this era. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said this.
If it were changed before, it would be very difficult to move the capital and would encounter many obstacles. However, now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is booming, and Emperor Chongzhen's prestige is at its peak, not to mention Zhang Mingwei. The court is full of people recommended and promoted. As long as both of them insist on moving the capital, others dare not object, let alone the reason for moving the capital is full.
Just like that, the work was divided. Three days later, the Mongols of Weilat were taken to the Jinyiwei Yamen for negotiations. The negotiations were completed here, and the final result was reported to Emperor Chongzhen.
What surprised Zhang Mingwei was that as soon as he turned out from the rear yamen, all of these Weilat Mongols knelt on the ground, muttering to themselves, paying homage!
Zhang Mingwei didn't understand, but the lieutenant of the Mongolian Jinyiwei who was accompanying him immediately reported in a low voice: "They think that the lord is the reincarnation of the living Buddha, so they worshiped the great gift!"
"..." Zhang Mingwei was a little speechless when he heard this.
However, when he thought about it a little, he could think of the reason. It was probably because these Mongolians came to the pass, including the capital, were shocked by what they saw and heard. They thought it was a miracle, so they turned him into a living Buddha.
He was helpless about this, but he didn't think about explaining it, but said to them: "Everyone gets up and talks!"
When Eziertu, Sengge and others heard the translator's message, they all stood up respectfully.
In the past three days, they have heard more things about Duke Xingguo, even rumors, including the mysterious origin of Duke Xingguo. All these things make them think that Duke Xingguo is definitely a living Buddha's rebirth, and an ordinary mortal has absolutely no such ability!
When I saw Duke Xingguo come out of the Houya just now, his age was beyond their imagination, and he further strengthened their speculation.
At this time, Zhang Mingwei said to them: "The former land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I, the Ming Dynasty, must be restored. There is no room for bargaining. The Ming Dynasty will establish a Western Region province in the Western Regions and a Tibet province. If you can see the situation clearly, it will be the best for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will naturally not treat you badly. It is also the best for the people of the Western Regions."
