The anti-Qing movement began with the looting of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

"Sixth, abolish those barbaric and terrifying customs. All those things that use human sacrifices or are made of human tissue must be destroyed."

"These are the six points for now! Those who support us are legitimate monks, and the imperial court will reissue your ordination certificates and will not interfere with your missionary work."

"Impossible! We absolutely refuse!" The tall, strong lama suddenly stood up and roared. Several other people beside him also stood up, glaring at Zhang Yuting.

"Hmm! Very good! Men, arrest them! These men are accomplices of the traitors!" Zhang Yuting roared, and the soldiers rushed forward and arrested the lamas.

"Devils! You devils, Buddha will not forgive you. You will all go to hell..." the lama roared as he was dragged away.

"I don't know if I'll go to hell, but you guys are going down there soon!" Zhang Yuting stroked his beard.

"You ungrateful wretch! The Emperor has been very lenient with you Buddhists. You should know that Islam and Catholicism have been banned from preaching on the grasslands. All churches will be shut down, and priests will be expelled!"

"Masters! Do you have any other objections?" Zhang Yuting asked with a sinister smile.

Several senior lamas closed their eyes and silently chanted scriptures.

“Very good! Director Zhou, the rest is up to you!” Zhang Yuting turned to the middle-aged man in a light gray Chinese-style stand-up collar and said.

After Shen Lian abolished the Manchu-style zombie-like clothing, this new style of Chinese stand-up collar became the everyday attire for officials. Of course, officials also had formal court robes, those extremely luxurious robes with wide sleeves were only worn when attending court.

"Thank you, Commander Zhang!" Zhou Keqin nodded with a smile. As the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau for the entire Tibetan region, his official position was not low.

However, the commander of the 26th Division fell ill after entering Tibet. Zhang Yuting is now temporarily acting as the division commander and in charge of command.

Their religious affairs bureau's work relies heavily on the military's cooperation, so he dared not be anything less than polite to this brigade commander.

"Haha, we're all serving the court and His Majesty. It's only right! If you need anything, Director Zhou, just come find me!" Zhang Yuting laughed heartily, nodded, and turned to leave with his men.

Three days later, several eminent monks jointly issued a proclamation. They firmly supported the rule of the imperial court and denounced the treasonous acts of Bogdok Gyaltsen and others. They also admonished monks throughout the land to obey the control of the imperial court.

The imperial court dispatched troops to escort officials to take over local government affairs, and the Bureau of Religious Affairs, with the cooperation of the army, simultaneously began to clean up major temples. A steady stream of wealth began to be transported to Kulun.

"This Zhang Yuting is really quite good!" Shen Lian, who was in the capital, nodded with a smile after receiving the report.

Shen Lian, of course, knew the renowned Commander Zhang. Ever since learning that Zhang had joined his army, Shen Lian had been secretly observing him. So far, his performance had been excellent.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, Shen Lian wouldn't mind giving him a high-ranking official position and generous salary. After all, in the original timeline, Shen Lian quite admired his actions.

Summer had arrived, but the distant mountains were still capped with snow, while the grasslands below were lush and green. Tents dotted the shore of a vast lake. Wisps of smoke drifted in the air, carrying with them the aroma of roasting lamb.

Shen Zimeng scooped up some water from the lake and splashed it on his face, instantly feeling a refreshing coolness. Although it was already summer, the lake water was still unusually cold.

"What a wonderful place!" Shen Zimeng exclaimed. When they set off, everything was covered in snow, but now the magnificent scenery of the melting snow and ice was finally revealed.
