Chapter 1236 Monk
Tang Fonu was in his thirties and had been in control of the entire Wenmo tribe for almost twenty years.
At the beginning, the Wen Dynasty tribe had only a few hundred tents, and the mixture of Tubo and Han people belonged to a medium-sized tribe, and survived with difficulty.
The environment of the plateau is even worse than that of the grassland. Although the area is vast, it is also more barren. In addition, after the collapse of the Tubo Empire, the plateau was in a mess.
It is also in such a difficult environment that Tang Fonu has the characteristics of falling with the wind and will depend on the situation.
For example, the joint with the Tang people, relying on a large amount of salt and iron tools, the Wenmo tribe continued to become powerful and evolved into a large tribe.
In order to melt the boycotts of other tribes, he could speak Tubo dialect, believe in Buddhism, and even take the name of a Tubo person.
Everything is to strengthen the Wen Mo tribe, so as to control its strength and no longer allow mermaid meat.
Now, almost twenty years have passed, the Wen Hou tribe has already had several large tribes in the entire East Plateau region and even the Qinghai region, and even the Liugu tribe in Liangzhou, who have to send people to greet him.
How many wars and tempers have made the entire Wen Du tribe have strong confidence, and gradually, they have ignored the Tang people.
Others can be so arrogant, but he cannot. As the leader of the Wen Mo tribe, he must remain calm.
Until now, he still can't forget the Tang people's army that had more than a flock of sheep, the city walls that could not be clear even if they were tilted, and the armor that was covered with all his body.
In comparison, the Wen Mo part of the ten thousand tents is not worth mentioning at all.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Tang Fonu raised his head and looked calm, but he scolded him so gently that all the heads and monks present dared not speak anymore, lowered their heads and were extremely respectful.
"The Liugu tribes in Liangzhou, together, are more than ten thousand tents, so what's wrong here? They are forced by only two or three thousand people and are given out of the city!"
"You guys say, why is this?"
"They are timid!" a big man laughed.
"Rukutani is not good anymore, we have to swallow them!"
For a moment, burst into laughter.
Tang Fonu didn't care, but instead said respectfully to a young monk next to him: "Did the master know the reason?"
"Just know one or two!" The monk was wearing clothes similar to those of the monks in the Western Regions. When facing the inquiry, he smiled and said, "The little monk has heard that the eastern land is vast and there are many people. Now the former Tang royal family has been working hard again, and the country is in full swing. Although the Wen Mo tribe is strong, it is still hard to match."
"The Liugu tribe in Liangzhou saw this. Even if they eliminated these thousands of people, in a short time, tens of thousands of soldiers in Lingzhou will be at the city. In addition, Yanzhou and even the Tang army in Chang'an are endless, hundreds of thousands or millions."
"Yes, and only stupid people will offend the Tang people."
As soon as these words were said, the many heads in the audience turned red, but they did not dare to offend the slightest, so they could only hold back and sit down and bow their heads to be scolded.
Nothing else, this young monk was a disciple of Andodandou Temple, a disciple of Zen Master Zheng Yixi Jianzan, who was ordered to preach and build a temple.
By the way, since the Tubo ZanPrandama launched the campaign to destroy Buddhism, the huge empire collapsed itself, and the huge plateau was occupied by warlords. The royal family could only hide in the Shigatse area and establish the Guge dynasty.
Later, when Langdama destroyed the Buddha, the monks Zang Raose, Yogejiu, Mashakyamuni and three others lived in Dandou Temple in Hualong, Qinghai. In 894, they accepted a local disciple, Raqin Gongba Raose. When they gave him the precepts, they even invited two Han monks to participate because of the insufficient number of monks.
However, after the difficult period, a Buddhist center was formed in the Hehuang area.
Therefore, around 936, the local leaders of Samye Monastery sent ten people here to study the Dharma, and then went to the plateau to preach the Dharma. Buddhism was revived again, and the temples were restored and newly built, forming many monastic groups, known in history as "the lower road to spread the Dharma."
Dandou Temple naturally became the Buddhist center of the entire plateau. The plateau tribes with frequent wars truly accepted Buddhism.
Of course, due to the destruction of Buddha, plateau Buddhism gradually changed from worshiping Sakyamuni and Buddha to worshiping his own ancestors.
Therefore, the tribe heads had to respect the monks in Dandou Temple.
"Dear monk, what you are talking about!"
Tang Fonu exclaimed: "They have short-sighted eyes and think that the grassland in front of them is everything in the world, but they don't know that this is just a weed under the Buddha's feet."
The young monk didn't care about Tang Fonu's respect and nodded with a smile.
"Since the collapse of Tubo, the most powerful person in the world is the Tang Kingdom. The Wen Mo tribe cannot offend them no matter what. Some flattery is enough to reassure them."
Tang Fonu said earnestly: "With the mountains, the Tang people cannot order us at all, and there is no grudge or grudge. Why do you provoke them?"
"Zen Master--" At this time, the Tang Buddha Nu turned his head and said to him: "I wonder if I would like to go to Lingzhou with me to see the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course!" The young monk nodded and responded decisively.
Tang Fonu smiled, his voice vibrated the tent, and the nobles also laughed with him, and the atmosphere became much happier.
The monk also smiled, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
On the plateau, the increasing compliance with Buddhism is reflected in the leaders of the noble tribes. In order to stabilize their position, they constantly contributed land, led the people and monks, and were keen on building temples.
As soon as the monk came to Wenmo, he obtained two hundred slaves and his own land of one thousand.
Tu, when Chisong Zanpu was a quarrel, two oxen stolen the area for a day, each Tu was about ten acres.
In other words, the monk became a slave owner of 10,000 acres of arable land and 200 slaves.
You know, he had just arrived for half a month and captured most of the people's hearts. How could he not let Tang Fonu be afraid?
Two days later, Tang Fonu led two thousand cavalry and traveled nearly a thousand miles a long distance. Near Huizhou, he met the majestic Guo Shouwen.
"Tang Buddha Slave meets the Jiedushi!"
"I have met Guo Jiedu!"
The two had different names, one was flattering and the other was neither humble nor arrogant. Guo Shouwen just nodded slightly, then enthusiastically grabbed Tang Fonu's arm and welcomed him in.
This made him confused.
The monk smiled and didn't care.
Guo Shouwen chatted with him, and suddenly became interested in the monk and couldn't help but ask: "The monk comes from the Wenmo tribe to preach? Which temple did he come from?"
The young monk smiled and said politely: "I came from Dandou Temple and went to Wenmo to establish a branch temple. After all, Wenmo is on the east side and is very close to you."
"Dando Temple?"
