Of course, the disciples of the Qing Gang guarding the alley knew who the fourth "big gentleman" in their gang was?How dare they neglect?All gathered together and knelt down to salute the carriage.
The sky was getting dark, Zhang Tingyu opened the curtain of the car, and a young man in a green cloth gown walked out of it, of course it was Yinfeng, Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty.He was wearing a wishful eight-petal melon skin hat, and he glanced around. He really had the demeanor of a king without anger.
When Yinreng got off the carriage, some disciples of the Qing Gang had already reported the news of his arrival as the leader of the Qing Gang into the main hall of the Qing Gang, and then saw a middle-aged burly man with a pockmarked face and a skinny little man with protruding ears They came out together.
Yinfeng looked at them, and before they clasped their fists to salute, he asked with a smile: "Boss Huang, Mr. Du, why haven't you seen Brother Zhang?"
The big man with pockmarked face laughed out loud, speaking softly in Wu language—this is a big man from Suzhou. The big man from Suzhou smiled and said, "Jin Longtou, Brother Zhang has gone to Suiye Mansion to do business... There are distinguished guests coming to the Western Regions."
"Guest? Is it convenient to tell me something?" Yinfeng asked with interest.
"What can't be said?" The little man also spoke with Wu Yin, "It's the head of the Western Freemasonry, named Philip de Polo... and he's an archmage, with great skills!"
This "Philippe de Poro" is of course St. Philip! A living saint, of course!
"Freemasonry?" Yinfeng asked, "What is this for?"
The pockmarked face said: "What kind of alchemist's guild is it... I can't tell for a while, and this is not a place to talk, Jin Longtou, let's talk inside."
The thin man also said: "Jin Longtou, please come inside!" Then he said to the disciples beside him: "Hurry up and prepare the banquet, Jin Longtou is a distinguished guest!"
Under the kind invitation of Boss Huang and Mr. Du, the two leaders of the Qing Gang, Yinfeng was invited into a small and secluded hall inside the Qing Gang Zongtang.Before the banquet was served, a few stunning orchids served tea to Yinfeng, Zhang Tingyu, Boss Huang, and Mr. Du. While drinking tea, the four talked about Freemasonry.
Of course, the stories about the Freemasonry that Boss Huang and Mr. Du narrated were all created by Pu Songling according to Zhu Heqi's request.The story begins with Marco Polo's eastward journey, and later because of some "magic events", a group of alchemists serving the Holy See were led to establish Freemasonry under the leadership of Marco Polo, and began to explore while trading Magic... all the way to how Freemasonry grew secretly in the East and West, and finally became a mysterious organization with huge wealth and a large number of members with backgrounds!
Although Huang and Du were just talking about it briefly, the story of the Freemasonry has aroused Yinreng's great interest—although he has no interest in cultivating immortals, if Freemasonry can prolong life He still wants to get some pills to take.
So Yinfeng asked: "I don't know why the leader of the Freemasonry came all the way to the Qing Dynasty?"
"He was passing through Qing Dynasty," said the skinny man, "he wanted Rakshasa to meet Tsar Peter."
"Oh..." Yinrong said heartily; "That Peter liked magic and cultivating immortals when he was a child. He fantasized about going to some magic school in the East all day long, but he was caught by his elder sister every day to learn arithmetic and Latin... no Now that I think of it, there are really gods going to enlighten him!"
Seeing that Yinfeng seemed a little interested, the pockmarked man smiled and said, "Jin Longtou, when Lao Zhang picks up Mr. Polo from the Freemasonry, how about we meet together?"
"Okay," Yinfeng nodded, and didn't say anything about cultivating immortals, but changed the subject and got straight to the point, "The two leaders heard that I, Ama, will be the leader of the banner and the fourth one and be the left-behind one. Is something wrong?"
The pockmarked man nodded, and said with a smile: "I heard... and the Supreme Emperor not only sealed the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother, but also sent someone to contact the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother. If there is no accident, the two of them Soon to be the flag owner!"
The thin man also said: "In addition, Queen Sofia is going to the Raksha Kingdom with a large amount of gold and silver. In name, it is said that she wants to do business on the coast of the Black Sea, but in fact, hehe..."
Yinfeng's face was a bit ugly, he didn't expect that the Ama Kangxi would stretch out his claws to him, and even win over his two brothers, it's really unfilial!
Although the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother are relatively reliable, they are also the sons of that unfilial Ama after all. Who knows if the father and son will suddenly get better again?
"The third and fifth will never betray me!" Yinfeng couldn't say that he didn't trust his brothers, he said, "You don't need to be appointed by the emperor, I will make them the banner master Baylor!" He suddenly After a pause, he continued, "Of course I'm not afraid that the Supreme Emperor will poach my corner... After all, I'm the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! Righteousness and fame are on my side!
But I am worried that the Supreme Emperor will rely on his own money to win over the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Horqin Mongolian, Kazakh, Bukhara, Khiva and other ministries to deal with me together!
In addition, if there is a war, it will cost money like water.My savings on hand are limited, and I'm afraid it won't last long.I don't know if Emperor Ming can lend me a sum of money..."
Chapter 916 Yinfeng, you still have a country to sell!
Hearing Yinfeng's request, the pockmarked man, the leader of the Qing Gang known as Boss Huang, exchanged glances with the scrawny leader of the Qing Gang known as Mr. Du.Then the two faces sank at the same time, revealing a troubled expression.
"Golden Dragon Head, this matter is a bit difficult!"
"It's really difficult. You are the Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty! The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty borrowed money from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to fight the war. You say this..."
Yinfeng sighed when he heard this, it sounds a bit ridiculous!
The Ming and Qing Dynasties are not at odds!
Today's Emperor Dagong of Ming Dynasty did not send troops to the Western Regions to take the head of Yinreng, the emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. It is kind enough, and he is expected to lend money to Yinreng to fight?How can this be?
Just when Yinreng felt that things were going to be dirty, Zhang Tingyu suddenly interjected: "Isn't this for the purpose of rebelling against the Yuan? Is it reasonable for the Qing emperor to borrow money from the Ming emperor to retaliate against the Yuan? Enemy of the Qing and Qing dynasties!"
Boss Huang nodded, laughed and said, "Heng Chen is indeed a great talent! The Great Yuan Dynasty really wants to oppose it."
Yinfeng quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Dayuan is the deadly enemy of my Qing Dynasty and your Ming Dynasty. If Dayuan is allowed to destroy my Daqing, then there will be no peace in the northwest of Daming!"
Boss Du also smiled and said: "There is a reason for borrowing money, but can Daqing pay back the money? How much is Daqing's income in a year now? If you want to fight Dayuan, you can't pay back the money The sea of flowers is gone? Jin Longtou, how do you plan to replace this silver?"
"That's right, it's not difficult to borrow and repay!" Boss Huang said, "Although the money doesn't need to be repaid right away, you should have a way to repay the money, Jinlongtou, right? That's good for me and Lao Du." Report it to the higher authorities! Otherwise, the higher authorities will not approve the loan if it has not been repaid!"
Why do you want to pay it back?
As soon as Yinreng heard that he had to pay back the money he borrowed from Zhu's father, his face immediately twisted, and he was about to squeeze out a poor word.
Before he could open his mouth to cry, Zhang Tingyu next to him spoke for him: "Boss Huang, Boss Du, how much do you two think the stability of Northwest Daming is worth? If Kangxi really swallowed up the Qing Dynasty, the Northwest would be worthless." There is no such a good situation where there are only caravans and no swords and horses! Although the Ming army is strong and strong, but if it is really going to be fought for years in the barren northwest, the money will be spent... This account, presumably the Grand Duke and the Emperor will also understand it. Calculated!"
These days, there are no railways, no trains rumbling to transport troops and food to the northwest, and even the Silk Road is gone. The Northwest and Central Asia are left with poverty.If the Great Ming and Great Mongols really wanted to make a big move in Northwest and Central Asia, it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and they would have to go bankrupt.
Therefore, for Ming Dynasty, maintaining a Western Qing that is hostile to Great Mongolia is indeed the most beneficial option... It can not only split Great Mongolia, avoid the emergence of a Great India in the future, but also allow the culture and religion of Central Asia to appear "diversified" ", and allow Ming to realize the "soft colonization" of Western Qing through economy and culture!
In fact, the Western Qing Dynasty itself was a colonial country, and if Daming was turned into a "soft colony", it would be a colonized country.
But to achieve the goal of "soft colonization", it is not enough to rely on the "military loan" that has been borrowed but not repaid, and Yinfeng has to sell the sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty!
In fact, long before Huang, Du, and Zhang, the three leaders of the Green Gang left Nanjing to go to the "mixed society" of the Western Qing Dynasty, Emperor Zhu gave them face-to-face tips in the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and sent them each a book that he wrote himself. The colonial pamphlet of "Reviving the Silk Road, Coexistence and Common Prosperity".
In this pamphlet, Emperor Zhu clearly listed the terms of the sovereignty of the Western Qing Dynasty that Yinfeng needed to sell.
"Heng Chen makes sense," Mr. Du nodded his head pretentiously, and then pretended to discuss with Boss Huang, "Huang Longtou, do you think it's possible for Jin Longtou to arrange a loan without repayment?"
Hearing the words "borrow without repayment", Yinreng's ears perked up... This is the loan model that all borrowers dream of!
"This, this...isn't that easy?" Mr. Du seemed very embarrassed, "I can't explain if I borrowed or not!"
"It's true," Boss Huang snapped open the paper fan, shook it, and said, "How about a long-term loan that will be repaid in three or fifty years... when everyone is gone, doesn't it mean that there is no need to repay it?" ?”
Mr. Du squinted his triangular eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded: "Just a little longer, let's get a 100-year loan! How about paying it back after [-] years?"
What else could it be?
It's cheating grandchildren, cheating great-grandchildren!
Yinfeng pondered again: "If I agree, then my grandson and great-grandson will probably become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who hides debts everywhere... I will probably also be given the temple name of 'Loan Sect' or 'Debt Sect'. But if I don’t agree, then I won’t have any grandchildren or great-grandchildren!”
"Okay!" Yinfeng nodded, "Then let my grandson and great-grandson pay off the debt for a lifetime!"
This is really a good grandfather, a good grandfather!
"This can be repaid after 100 years, but the interest must be repaid every year, right?" Mr. Du suddenly raised the question of interest, "And the interest should not be too low!"
When Yinreng heard this, he became anxious again, and he still couldn't pay the interest!
"Du Longtou," Zhang Tingyu shook his head and said, "You are embarrassing the Qing Dynasty... It's not like you don't understand the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, it is really poor! If Kangxi Khan cut off the annual tribute, we will be in the Qing Dynasty for a year If you want to lose 100 million, if you want to fight against Mongolia again, you will lose even more, and you won't even pay any interest!" He paused, and said in a serious tone, "You two leaders, I don't believe that the emperor will do it for a few A small amount of money forced our Qing Dynasty to perish!"
Boss Huang just sneered: "Hengchen, don't even try to blackmail the Ming dynasty with this matter... The cost of sending troops to the Northwest is a bit higher, but Daming is not completely useless. Even if we flatten the Northwest in one fell swoop, we can still maintain the situation."
Zhang Tingyu's face turned blue, and he wanted to continue reasoning with Boss Huang, but Mr. Du spoke up first: "Hengchen, you are a scholar, and you have never done money lending and collection. Time is the master! If the emperor is satisfied now, can the money be in your hands? If the money is not in your hands, everything is empty.
Besides, it was the account department's fault that the loaned money could not be recovered even the interest.It is the contribution of the Ministry of Households to raise military salaries for thousands of miles to send troops to the northwest... You Zhang Hengchen can't do business, can't you be an official? "
Yinfeng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what Mr. Du said is... In Mr. Du's opinion, how much interest should we give?"
Mr. Du shook his paper fan, and pretended to think about it for a while: "You may repay the debt as much as you want... The Secretary of the Household Department and the left and right prime ministers probably won't lend you money from the imperial budget. How about this? , this interest... why not use some special trade rights in Xiqing to pay for it!"
"What is special trade right?" Zhang Tingyu felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.
Mr. Du shook his paper fan and said: "There are just a few rules. One is that the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty can freely trade in Xiqing, explore ore everywhere, and buy properties at will. In Xiqing, you must enjoy bannerman treatment. If you violate the king's law, you have to be ruled by the consul of Daming and the Xiqing government together; the third is for our Qing Gang to come forward and establish contact with Daming in the territory of Xiqing - Luocha and Daming - Persian trade routes, occupying land at suitable places along the way, and establishing commercial markets, all established commercial markets will be managed by our Qing Gang; Fourth, our military attache of Ming Dynasty will help Xiqing to train troops, and at the same time, our Ming Dynasty will exclusively give Xiqing Provide imported armaments; Fifth, disciples of our Qing Gang want to enter Confucianism and serve as big bosses. Two of the five big bosses of Confucianism must be appointed by the Qing Gang! Sixth, disciples of our Qing Gang must participate in the management of import and export checkpoints in the Western Qing Dynasty. For imported goods, you can collect an import tax of up to 5.00% of the value of the goods."
Mr. Du proposed six privileges in one go!
If Xiqing agrees, then the sovereignty and independence of Xiqing as a country will be gone. Even though it is still an independent country in name, it is actually colonized by Ming Dynasty!
However, Yinreng and Zhang Tingyu felt that the conditions proposed by the two leaders, Huang and Du, were still acceptable.
After all, Daqing can only survive if it can borrow money, otherwise it will have nothing.
So Yinfeng and Zhang Tingyu discussed it, and said to Boss Huang and Mr. Du: "We can accept this...but we need a lot of loans, at least 500 million silver dollars!"
Zhang Tingyu added: "Golden dragon head means silk, cloth, sugar, garlic medicine, perfume and guns worth 500 million silver dollars!"
He is still smarter than Yinfeng, and it is difficult to spend 500 million silver dollars in the Western Regions... There are no special products in the Western Regions except cattle and sheep, and 500 million cattle and sheep cannot be eaten!And the more you buy, the more expensive it will be.
So instead of asking for money, it is better to hide something. It is best to sell "hard goods" from the Raksha and Ottoman countries in the west, such as silk, sugar, garlic medicine, perfume, etc... If you collect 300 million in Suiye Mansion Silk, sugar, garlic medicine, perfume, and then trafficked to the Ottoman Empire, at least 1000 million worth of gold and silver, commodities and female slaves in the Ming Dynasty can be exchanged!
"Okay! Then we'll report it like this!" Boss Huang laughed, "However, Beijing's Kaitian Mansion is thousands of miles away from Ming Dynasty's Nanjing, and within two years you can't get what you want... So it's not with Kangxi Khan now. When you turn your face."
Yinfeng gritted his teeth, and said with hatred on his face: "Forget it, I will endure him for another two years!"
In fact, Yinfeng didn't know how to defeat Kangxi Khan at all?
Although he can mobilize an army of more than 10, Kangxi Khan can mobilize an army of 20 in Afghanistan and the Hezhong area!
Moreover, Kangxi's level of military use is not comparable to that of Yinreng. If there is a fight now, Yinreng has little chance of winning.For Yinfeng, the best policy is to try his best to delay the time, as long as it is delayed until Kangxi Khan is dead.Then he wins!
But how to delay this time?
Mr. Du suddenly thought of something at this time, so he smiled and said to Yinfeng: "Jin Longtou, I heard that Queen Sofia is going to the Raksha Kingdom, is she going to Xiqing?"
"It's true," Yinfeng said, "it's just that there are few adults in our Western Qing Dynasty, and many places are barren and inhabited, and people come and go at will. Moreover, Queen Sofia is also protected by Cossack cavalry and Turghut cavalry. It is not a big deal to take her down." easy."
Of course Yinreng didn't want to kill the "demon queen" Sofia...wouldn't Kang Mazi be overjoyed if he killed her?And Yinjinni is not favored because of Sofia, with or without this fat mother, Yinjinni is Kangxi's favorite!In addition, Sofia has a dearest brother Peter, if she is really going to kill her, Luo Shake will definitely send troops to help Kangxi.
So killing Sofia will only make Yinreng's situation worse!
"It's not to take her down," Mr. Du said, "We just want to ask Jin Longtou to help us, and ask Jin Longtou to send Philip de Polo and his party to Queen Sofia!"
Yinfeng thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is on my body!" He paused, "I also trouble the two leaders to contact the Ming court as soon as possible... Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire! It's too late. That's too late!"
In fact, Yinreng still had time, he took the crisis too urgently. In fact, his unfilial father Kangxi Khan had no intention of taking down his disobedient son with thunder. It may be taken with a thunderbolt.
Kangxi's intention was actually to clean up Yinreng slowly, first entrusting the princes, then using economic sanctions, and then buying Yinreng's subordinates, and when the time was right, he would make a push for grace, so that the Kong family and a group of people around Yinreng who loved Xin Jueluo divided Xiqing up...
So after sending the two brothers Yinti and Yinzhen to serve as banner owners and left-behind ministers, Kangxi put Yinreng aside for the time being, and began to set up rules for Daming!
To establish rules for Ming Dynasty, first of all, of course, discuss with French Foreign Minister Leona and Holy See Foreign Minister De La Magala to come up with a "Great Mongol-Frank Secret Agreement".
Although Kangxi is also wary of the Frankish Empire, he also needs the European market and European naval technology, so he has to cooperate with the Europeans... and while cooperating with the Europeans, Kangxi has to find a way to collude with Ming!
Because he also wanted a copy of the "Great Mongolia-Daming Secret Agreement"!
Now that Emperor Zhu could support the Qing Dynasty against the Yuan Dynasty, why couldn't Kang Mazi's Great Mongolia (Dayuan) sign a secret agreement with the Ming Dynasty to carve up the eastern world?Now the probability of Ming and Westerners fighting across the Great Mongolia is not high. The real danger is that Da Ming and Great Mongolia start fighting in the Indian Ocean!
Fortunately, there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent benefits!
In order to facilitate this "Great Mongolia-Daming Secret Agreement", Kangxi also recruited two good brothers of his own, Galdan who went into exile in India and Sangji Gyatso who is still in power on the snowy plateau...
Chapter 917 My Buddha is merciful, peace is the most important thing!
After losing his wife, children, army, land, tribes, and wealth, Choros Galdan, who had experienced ups and downs, finally realized the Tao.
So after fleeing to Suiye City with a small number of people, he enlightened to the Dao in a small Buddhist temple in Suiye City.Afterwards, the former Deputy Khan of Great Mongolia announced to Yinfeng, Kong Shenggong, and thousands of subordinates who followed him that he really wanted to give up everything in the secular world this time, once again shaved his head and became a monk to become an eminent monk. up.
Since he is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, of course Galdan can't stay in Suiye all the time. It is an important place for Confucianism, and there are Confucian halls and academies everywhere, so there is no Buddhist atmosphere at all.Moreover, Kong Shenggong and his group of Confucian scholars with axes stuck in their belts and sticks in their hands don't look like "good Confucians" who are gentlemen who talk but don't do anything.And the Mongolian monks who became monks with Galdan were all Dharma protectors.If the two groups fight in Suiyefu City, it will hurt the peace.
So Galdan decided to follow the example of the Tang monk Tang Sanzang who went to the West to learn scriptures, and also went to India to seek the scriptures.But instead of monkeys, pig heads and Monk Sha, he only rode a big white horse and led [-] wandering monks (all original Junggar warriors) on his journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Of course, he can’t live forever if he eats the meat, and his second junior brother is Sangji Gyatso, the monk king in the snow region, and his third junior brother is Kang Mazi, the holy master of Mongolia. The son is King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, and the daughter is Queen Yeerqiang of the Ming Dynasty and the concubine of the King of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yiyin... With this background, even demons and ghosts have to detour when they see him!
And he also has [-] cavalry wandering monks wearing chain armor, with knives and grenades on their waists, and flintlock guns on their shoulders... They look like a good monk at first glance, everyone is convinced!
Therefore, the great monk spent several years traveling around India and Afghanistan, visiting Buddhist holy places everywhere, and pursuing Buddhist truths that had long been lost in the long river of history.Moreover, he didn't care whether the people he visited believed in Buddhism or not, and whether they could understand his Sanskrit and Mongolian. Every time he went to a holy place, he would open an altar to preach and spread the principles of Buddhism.It's a little bit like an eminent monk.
This Galdan first preached in the Great Buddha Grotto in the Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan, and then asked a large group of bearded Afghans who did not understand Sanskrit and Mongolian to listen to his brother Kang Mazi's reasoning—— You have to listen honestly, and go home after listening to each person for a silver rupee, or...then you are the enemy of Buddha, a demon, and you will be shot!
After being inspired by Bamiyan, the Great Monk Galdan went to the Lumbini Garden in Nepal and preached at the place where the Buddha was born. The Mala Dynasty in Nepal believed in Hinduism, but they did not dare to offend the snow in the north. The Monk King of the Territory and Kangxi Khan in the west, otherwise the two sides would fight together, and God Shiva would not be able to save them.So the people of the Mala dynasty also treated Galdan as a holy monk and coaxed them to play...
After "playing" in Nepal, Galdan took his iron riding wandering monk to Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha became enlightened, and preached under a bodhi tree.
Bodh Gaya is in the southeast of Nepal and is considered the territory of the Hindustan Empire.However, the rule of the Hindustan Empire is very loose. Only Bengal is under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, and other places are ruled by maharajas or governors who are almost kings.Of course, these Tubang princes and governors did not want to offend Kang Mazi... So they let Galdan pretend to be a holy monk, and sent a group of dark Sudras to listen to the lecture.But these princes and governors will not give money to Sudras, they will only let their subordinates and Sudras say that the big and white bald head is a Brahmin from Mongolia!This is a friendly visit from foreign Brahmins to India. As Sudras, they must treat them well. This is a good thing with immeasurable merit!
After preaching in the place where the Buddha was born, Galdan went to Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges, and preached in Sarnath, where the Buddha often visited before his death.
After that, Galdan traveled to Sravasti City and Rajagha City, where the Buddha often lived, and preached the Dharma beside the ruins of Zhiyuan Jingshe and Zhulin Jingshe.
Later, I went to Kusinara, where the Buddha passed away... and finally went to the ruins of the Nalanda Temple.
The Indian princes and governors who ruled those places were also greeted by Kang Mazi, asking them to play with Galdan... I have to say that Kang Mazi still has a lot of love for Galdan who wants to become a Buddha It's righteous, and he always thinks that Galdan's "becoming a Buddha" is a great thing!
When Kang Mazi's emissary found him, the great monk was visiting the Kingdom of Japur on the Deccan Plateau, and at the same time he was leading [-] monks on iron horses to ask for alms from the ruler of the Tianfang Sect there—not for himself. , but to rebuild the Nalanda Temple for alms!
Look, what a merit this is!But the Japur Sultan Sikandar Adil Shah was moved and decisively donated 300 million silver rupees to Galdan to repair the Nalanda Temple.
After being summoned by Kangxi Khan, Galdan, who has become a "holy monk", did not dare to delay, and hurried to Nanjing Pingtian Mansion without stopping, and finally went back and forth with the snowy monk king Sangji Gyatso who came quietly. Step into the bastion of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Mongolia.
"Second Senior Brother, I heard that you have preached the Dharma in various parts of India, and won countless believers for my Buddha. You have a great momentum to revive the Dharma. It is really a great merit. I also heard that there are many believers in Nepal and Bihar. I have already called you a holy monk... It seems that the second senior brother is expected to become a Buddha, congratulations!"
"I didn't expect that in this Dharma-ending period, in India where heretics are rampant and evil masters teach like the sands of the Ganges River, my younger brother can still promote my Dharma by myself... It seems that my younger brother has obtained the true inheritance of the master, and I will definitely be able to do it in the future." Prove and become a Buddha!"
"Eldest brother, third junior brother, you are so ridiculous. How can the poor monk prosper Buddhism in India by himself? If there is no third junior brother's illustrious martial arts, those Hindu and Tianfang princes would have smashed the poor monk to pieces. In addition, the elder brother has sent monks to India to spread the Dharma in the past two years, right? The poor monk came from the summer resort and saw no less than ten newly built sanghalan (temples) along the way. It is all the merit of the elder brother? Senior brother and third junior brother will also become Buddhas in the future."
