The vigorous peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty made the world aware of the existence of the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect. There are countless rebel armies holding the banners of the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect www.biquge.info the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion Pavilion. Pull someone over casually, he may be a Mingjiao disciple, and any casual question may be "Have you been in the White Lotus Sect today?"

The early White Lotus Sect came from Manichaeism, worshipping Amitabha Buddha, advocating the recitation of Buddha and keeping precepts, and stipulating that believers should not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie or drink alcohol. It calls on believers to worship their ancestors and is a secret society that is half-monk and half-layman. Its teachings were simple, and the scriptures were relatively easy to understand, and were accepted by the lower classes. As a folk religion, it has two personalities, that is, the character of rebellion and goodness, and it is alternately expressed, so it also plays two social functions.

In the quiet years, the White Lotus Sect "lurked" among the common people, as a supplement to the orthodox religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and played a role that Buddhism and Taoism could not play in the lower classes. Whenever natural and man-made disasters come one after another or when social turmoil occurs, the White Lotus Sect "surfaces" to contradict Buddhism and Taoism, and fights against the government, and it often becomes a fighting banner for peasant uprisings or peasant uprisings.

I don't know if the leader who created the White Lotus Sect originally wanted the working masses to stand up and realize Internachonel, or whether he was used as a tool to organize the people to resist oppression. In short, even if the White Lotus Sect is high-sounding in the eyes of the people, it has always been called a "cult" in the eyes of the feudal rulers, and the followers of the White Lotus Sect in the eyes of the imperial court are disobedient traitors.

The White Lotus scriptures contain the doctrine of opposing darkness and pursuing light, and that light will eventually triumph over darkness, from which Mingjiao is derived.

Since the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect are of the same origin, their teachings are of course broadly similar, and their functions are also the same, and they are both used as the basis for the peasant uprising to win people's hearts.

Just like the TV and refrigerator produced by an electrical company, if they are the same but different, if they are different but belong to the same company's electrical products, when the company wants to develop and expand, its electrical products must be sold. Therefore, at the time of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect had already merged with the Ming Sect, and there were Ming Sectists in the peasant army, and there were also White Lotus Sects. Believers are committed to promoting doctrine regardless of one another. Unless it is those believers who have entered the religion and memorized the doctrine and canons, they can clearly distinguish the subtle differences between them, and others can only look at each other.

In the peasant rebel armies organized by the White Lotus and Mingjiao, the nimble leaders had realized that it was not only necessary to propagate the teachings, but also to let the believers see the "great supernatural powers" in order to convince them completely.

As a result, all kinds of "great powers" appeared on the stage, and they emerged in endlessly. The techniques of "turning day into night, sprinkling beans into soldiers, waving swords into rivers, and calling for wind and rain" are a bit difficult, but small tricks such as "King Kong body protection, oil pot to make money, stone to gold, bamboo basket to draw water" and other tricks are all commonplace, and they can be easily used.

It has to be said that the peasants, who are believers, have too little entertainment, too little knowledge, and do not know how to know the mysteries of these magic juggling. One by one, they were dumbfounded, and they immediately took it as a celestial being, excited to be protected by God, and excited to choose a bright way out for themselves.

Guo Zixing is righteous and squandering money, making friends all over the world, black and white are prestigious, and naturally the three religions and nine streams are recognized. Among them, there are not many followers of the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect boasting in front of him about how dark and corrupt the current court is, how turbulent the general trend of the world is, how great the lifeless old mother and the Buddha who burn the lamp, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha served by the church, and how powerful the Dharma protectors, elders, and Vajra sent by the church are......

Guo Zixing, who had just come into contact with the White Lotus Sect, had not yet decided to completely devote himself to the vigorous peasant uprising, but he had already shown a strong interest in this organizational activity, and began to form gangs half-pushed and half-on-the-spot. Partners will find people they trust when they do business, and Guo Zixing is naturally indispensable to contact his brother-in-law Liu Dashan if he wants to make such a big move.

The thin letter paper was as heavy as a thousand pounds in Liu Dashan's hands, and although the content of the letter was vague and unclear, he still saw the core content at a glance - his righteous brother Guo Zixing was ready to raise the flag to rebel, and sincerely invited himself to join.

To go or not to go? Liu Dashan hesitated, this is a road of no return, once you step on the wrong step, there will be no return. If he had been alone, he might have joined the rebels long ago. It's just that today is different from the past, he is a family man, and he has to think about his wife and daughter. But whenever he thinks of his daughter being bullied, he can only secretly retaliate, and he can't be honest and happy, and he feels that he has a bad life, which is not the life that a bloody man wants.

"Daddy, what are you worried about?" Liu Xiuying climbed onto Liu Dashanren's knees, grinning and smoothing out the wrinkles on his forehead.

"Girl, your Uncle Guo wrote to say that I miss him very much after not seeing him for a long time, and I hope I can go to see him from a distance. ”

"Uncle Guo, is that the sworn brother who fell into the grass with you?"

Recalling the past, Liu Dashan sighed for a while, "Yes, he also washed his hands in a golden basin, and now he has a home in Dingyuan." ”

"Is Dingyuan fun?" Liu Xiuying heard that her father might go far away, and immediately became interested, jumping up and down and asking non-stop. Since she was kidnapped by beggars, Liu Dashan was afraid that she would have accidents in the future, and she was rarely allowed to go out these years, and the little girl was about to sprout at home.

Liu Dashanren's brows that had just stretched frowned again, and he sighed, "Silly girl, you know how to play, your Uncle Guo has something important to do with me, and I haven't decided whether to go or not." ”

Go, you must go, if you don't go, how can I have a chance to go with you. Liu Xiuying decided to persuade her father to go out no matter what. She jumped down, crossed her waist and said, "Since Uncle Guo is looking for you for something important, how can you not go? Aren't you good brothers?"

"You don't understand the things of adults...... Liu Dashan wanted to speak and stopped, he really wanted to find someone to talk about the contradictions in his heart, but unfortunately his daughter was too young.

"If you don't say it, how do you know if I understand?" Liu Xiuying wrinkled her nose and pouted unconvinced. Dad always treats himself as a child, if he knows that he is a human in two lives, I don't know what his feelings will be.

Seeing that the girl was angry, Liu Dashan hurriedly coaxed: "Yes, yes, our Xiuying is the smartest......"

"It's not allowed to change the topic, let's talk about Uncle Guo's important things first. ”

How can it be easy to say about the rebellion? Liu Dashan handed over Guo Zixing's letter and said perfunctorily: "Everything is written in the letter, can you understand it?" It was not that he underestimated Liu Xiuying, but that Guo Zixing's letter was originally written in an obscure manner, and it was mixed with many terms from the rivers and lakes, and in addition, Liu Xiuying rarely went out and did not know the major events in the world, so how could he distinguish the doorway.

Liu Xiuying snatched the letter paper, widened her eyes and took a closer look, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Dad, what does this Uncle Guo mean? He actually wants to call you to rebel together?"

Liu Dashan hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth, looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Girl, you speak softly." ”

Liu Xiuying broke her father's hand vigorously and warned: "Don't get involved in this matter." "Rebellion is a technical job, not everyone can play it, Liu Xiuying only hopes to live happily and peacefully with her family, whether it is the wealth of the sky or the destruction of the family, it is not what she wants.

The person's personality is very strange, the more he is not allowed to do things, the more he wants to do it, Liu Dashan, who was still a little hesitant, was dissuaded by his daughter, but he was more eager to try, so he did not agree to his daughter's request as readily as before.

"Dad, you don't want to go, do you?"

"This, this ......" Liu Dashan thought that his daughter even knew about her falling into the grass back then, and what else could not be told to her, so she simply said: "I was indeed a little excited after reading your Uncle Guo's letter, I promised you to live in peace, but in this world, Tartars bully people, corrupt officials bully people, and even my own family bullies you, I can only endure it, I feel that I have a ...... You don't blame me for going back on my word. ”

Looking at the nervousness and expectation on Liu Dashan's face, how did Liu Xiuying not know that his heart knot had not been untied, and he had been feeling guilty for failing to protect himself, and such a plan was also due to the mentality of a father who wanted to protect his daughter. Based on this, Liu Xiuying couldn't say anything negative, and subconsciously reassured: "How could it be? Xiuying said that her father will always be a big hero and a big hero in Xiuying's heart." Men have ambitions in all directions, and if dad really wants to go out, his daughter supports you. ”

Liu Xiuying's words are not perfunctory Liu Dashan, she has seen too much of the ugly faces of the powerful Yuan people and corrupt officials, Liu Xiuying is not only angry but also angry. Whoever made them low-class Han Chinese, in the eyes of foreign rulers, pigs and dogs were inferior. In such a world, don't say that bloody men will resist, even Liu Xiuying can't help but curse the Yuan Dynasty for dying early. She can understand the hardships of her father when he was cornered, just like the rebel army that is resisting the Yuan court everywhere now, if the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing, who will revolt and rebel.

Seeing that the girl did not despise her, Liu Dashan put her mind at ease, "Then how do you think I should reply to you Uncle Guo?"

Liu Xiuying understood that her father's heart had flown out of the house, so she couldn't help pouting, "What's so difficult about this?

"What kind of prince will Xiangning?"

Liu Dashan savored this sentence, and the plan in his heart became more and more firm. Seeing that there are more and more rebel armies that overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, maybe there are really Han people who can recapture the country, and then their daughter will not marry the Tartars in the future but will be the mother of the Han people.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Dashan's blood boiled, the mother of the Han people can be thousands of times better than the queen of the Tartars, and when will he stay if he doesn't make any effort at this time?

Such a major event is unusual, Liu Dashan discussed with the Ma family and decided to take refuge in Guo Zixing. He went to Dingyuan to settle down first, and then came back to pick up the two of them when the arrangements were made.

Ma Shi was so frightened that he finally mustered up the courage to persuade: "Master, this is a matter that is going to lose your head, let's not get involved, even if you want to be with Brother Guo, you should wait for the situation to be clear......"

Liu Dashan is full of pride, "The icing on the cake is of great significance, Brother Guo is in need of manpower, since he didn't treat me as an outsider, how could I brush off his kindness." Besides, I'm not developing in this county, so be careful that no one will know. If you are afraid that you will be implicated in the future, we can be separated and give you all your wealth. ”

As soon as these words came out, all of Ma's persuasion was swallowed back into his stomach, and tears were held in his eyes and he did not dare to flow out.

Seeing this, Liu Dashanren softened his heart and comforted: "My daughter said it well, the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, am I worse than others? I will go to Brother Guo now, maybe I can still mix with an officer or something, if the situation is clear, Brother Guo doesn't need anyone on his side, what's the point of me going to defect again." I wish that the imperial court would decline as soon as possible, and when the Han people re-dominate the country, the girl will not have to be wronged to marry the Tartar. Don't worry, the Taoist chief has said that the girl is a rich and noble life, how can we have something?"

Ma's mouth trembled and finally didn't say anything, if you don't want to be separated, you must obey Liu Dashanren's decision, as a woman without a mother's family, she will not choose to be separated, she simply has a heart, silently packs her luggage, and expresses her support for Liu Dashan with actions.
