In the depths of the ancient Silk Road, a legendary bandit, a black lama who made China, Russia and Mongolia jealous, once ran rampant and domineering, triggering an earth-shattering struggle. However, what is even more bizarre is that his head is permanently kept in a museum by the Soviet Union. What kind of legend is this? Why did the USSR cherish his head so much? Let's do it.
In the twenties of the last century, the Soviet Union chose to keep the remains of two people in perpetuity, one is the founder Lenin, and the other is the head of the legendary bandit Black Lama. Lenin, as the founding father of the Soviet Union, and his body was revered by later generations, but who was the Black Lama? Why on earth did he make the Soviet Union so cherished?
The Black Lama, whose real name is Danbi Gyaltsen, was born on the banks of the Volga River. Since he was a child, he has shown a gangster personality and likes to fight with others. The years spent in the Tsar's prison tempered his will, and after his release, he came to Outer Mongolia, where he befriended a group of local nobles and became an influential figure in the region.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the Black Lama took the opportunity to attack the city of Kobdo and was treated with high courtesy by the nobles of Outer Mongolia. However, after the October Revolution, for his own selfish interests, the Black Lama chose to side with the White Army and became the sworn enemy of the Outer Mongolian revolutionaries. After escaping the city of Kobdo, he came to Balikun in Xinjiang, but was expelled by the provincial governor Yang Zengxin, and had to build a bunker mountain in the uninhabited area of Heigobi in western China, where he began his career as a bandit.
In the Black Gobi region, the Black Lama led his men to rob caravans, set up checkpoints, and run rampant. Not only did he control the water sources in the area, causing misery to the inhabitants, but he was also known as the "Devil's Black Lama". In just two years, he amassed a huge fortune by means of bandits, and became a bandit on the ancient Silk Road, which terrified China, Russia and Mongolia.
In 1924, Outer Mongolia and Soviet Russia gathered 600 people to form an expeditionary force and went deep into the Mamane Mountain in the Black Lama's bandits' lair. Faced with strong pillboxes and bunkers, the commander of the expeditionary force decided to send two ** deep into the enemy's lair. This decision has created an unbelievable trap.
Two ** skillfully went deep into the black lama's bandit lair as businessmen and successfully contacted the bandit leader. In an atmosphere of deference, they shot the black lama while he was not looking. When the Black Lama's retinue was about to charge, a ** claimed to have eaten the Black Lama's heart and inherited his mana. This statement shocked everyone present and laid the foundation for the victory of the expeditionary force.
After the death of the Black Lama, the expeditionary forces cut off his head, paraded it through the streets, and was eventually sent to a museum in St. Petersburg for permanent preservation. The Soviets did this to prove that the Black Lama was dead and to prevent the legend of his reincarnation from spreading. The Black Lama's claim to the immensity of mana gave him a large number of followers, and in order to stabilize society, the Soviets decided to keep his head permanently.
The life of the bandit Black Lama is full of legends and adventures, he was the overlord of the ancient Silk Road, and made China, Russia and Mongolia fearful. However, in the ingenious traps of the expeditionary force, his legendary career came to an end. In order to stabilize society, the Soviet Union permanently preserved his head, ending the legend of this bandit, but also leaving an incredible historical mystery.
