Section 200 The Bet of New Taoism
The so-called "special antidiarrheal drug" is a packet of opium medicine, which is either raw opium or cooked tobacco bubbles. It is a powder that has been concocted by Runshitang Chinese Medicine Factory, and its effectiveness has been greatly discounted. Zhang Yingchen knew that this thing was extremely powerful, and it could be used as a poison while curing diseases, and opium also had the effect of narcotic hallucinations, and he didn't want to be mistaken for "the demon road of poisoning and servitude" when he was traveling around, and he was beaten to death on the spot.
But at this moment, he was even more worried about the three suspicious beggars who suddenly appeared outside. Someone is eyeing him, what is the purpose? Is it to clear this "obstacle" of him, or is there something else?
Zhang Yingchen couldn't help but feel a little weak, of course it was safe to leave the local area now, but Jihua, who was collecting people here, was in the soup Although he had a pistol on his body, others were not American, and he could use firearms as artifacts. When the time comes, it will be too late to mobilize the masses to rush forward and practice their own escape, to tell the truth, Zhang Yingchen does not believe in the wisdom of the masses in this time and space. No matter how many people he treated, how many people he saved, once the masses were instigated, he still couldn't escape the charge of being a demon. Those who have received his favor may be more upbeat against him.
"The masses are easily instigated, easily míhuò, a collection of people who are unwilling to take responsibility for their words and deeds." Because of such remarks, he was constantly criticized by the Spartak Regiment's social journal "Red Flag". Of course, Zhang Zhangjiao didn't care about this.
Looking at the meaning of the other party, it seems that there is no intention to "eliminate" for the time being. It's just coveting his actions. I'm safe for the time being.
It seems that the next step is to hug the local gentry as soon as possible, as long as there is the support of the local gentry, it will be much safer. Zhang Yingchen is very sure of this, and as soon as the epidemic breaks out, there will naturally be an endless stream of gentlemen who will come to ask him for medical skills.
In an office in Yunjiguan, the headquarters of the new Taoism, Daoist Dai Chang, dressed in a neat military uniform, opened the telegram he had just delivered, and after reading the telegram, his face showed an expression of "sure enough".
Zhang Zhangjiao is a man full of whimsy and thoughts, and has a fanatical love for complex layouts. Dai knew it from the time he started working with him on this system. Now he really had to play a huge game of chess again.
This is a good deck, of course, but they have too few pieces to master. Compared with the Lingao Order, which is strong and rich, the New Taoism is simply a stunted child, constantly fighting for every bit of resources. Dai sometimes felt that if he hadn't looked at Yahism unpleasantly, it seemed that from the perspective of the workplace, Lin Gao Xiu would have a better future. Just from the point of view of winning believers, the church in Dongmen City is much more magnificent than the Yunjiguan Temple, which is full of bricks and tiles and wood, and is in a state of suspension.
Dai Daochang glanced at the hand-painted renderings hanging on the wall, which were drawn by the elders of a design major. From the outside, the temple has little to do with traditional Chinese architecture. Unfortunately, due to financial relations, the renovation of Yunjiguan was only carried out in the first phase and then stopped.
"I don't know when it's going to be built." Dai Daochang sighed with emotion and locked the secret file with his hand. He coughed and paced out of the office.
In the courtyard, there are several ancient trees left over from the Song Dynasty. Under the thick shade and the sun, under the trees, Chen Sigen is instructing more than a dozen Taoist students to practice Tai Chi, and the old children are generally not in good health, in addition to enhancing nutrition, semi-compulsory physical exercise is also an effective means.
Dai Ye was afraid of disturbing his contact, so he went around without saying hello to him. He was going to the Ministry of Health to see Liu Sanzhang, and his actions on the mainland depended on an adequate supply of medicines. In particular, the drugs that gave him the reputation of "miracle doctors" depended almost entirely on the supply of pharmaceutical factories.
"Liu San has helped a lot, but it's a pity that we have nothing to reciprocate." Dai Daochang thought as he walked, "I have to wait for the engine operation to end." ”
Now the whole bargaining chip of the new Taoism is betting on the engine action. Of the various departments under the Executive Committee, with the exception of industry, agriculture, and civil affairs, the Neo-Daoists were the most enthusiastic about the action.
"It's not enough to just put chips on Sun Yuanhua and that group of missionary sticks."
These are the words that Zhang Yingchen, who participated in the engine operation, has been talking about.
Although Dai Ye felt that this was purely a sense of competition between Zhang Yingchen and his colleagues in the church, as a deputy, he did not intend to comment on it.
Since Zhang Yingchen took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the mainland in order to "open up a field without weeds", all the teaching affairs in Hainan have been represented by Dai Yi. According to the jihua previously agreed upon by the two men, their activities in Hainan were still in the name of assisting Li Miao in ethnic work, expanding the influence of Neo-Taoism in the Li area, limiting the activities of the Jesuits to the northern part of Hainan Island as much as possible, and slowing down the expansion of Catholicism.
"This is also for the sake of Lao Wu, the diocese is controlled in the Three-Self Convent and controlled in the hands of the Jesuits, after all, there is a difference. Don't forget, the Jesuits' nickname of the 'Pope's Army,' is no less than the Dominican's nickname of the 'Bulldog of God,' which is no less than that. ”
Zhang Yingchen, who said this with righteousness and awe, didn't need to confirm how sincere he was. Consciously or unconsciously, Zhang Zhangjiao often constantly "reminded" the patriarchs of the "root problem" of "non-my race" existing in the High Seminary. It made Dean Wu very angry and inconvenient, after all, Zhang Yingchen did not openly attack the Lingao Cultivator.
Of course, it is not enough for the new Taoism to preach only in the Li district, and although Zhang Yingchen has opened up the situation in the Li district by relying on his own medical skills, the special medicine approved by the senate, and the cooperation of the Li Miao Office, the lack of teaching personnel is still a problem that plagues the new Taoism. Zhang Yingchen went to the education department several times to fight for it, but only switched back to the half-day weekly doctrinal course, and I don't know if the veterans of the Ministry of Education have instilled too much advanced ideology in the Taoist students.
To train himself, he has neither teachers nor space, and Yun Jiguan's current material conditions are not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the school. So Zhang Yingchen had to pinch his nose before leaving for Hangzhou, and started from the hall opened by the first child in the Qiongzhou area.
Taking advantage of the expansion of the public security war in the Qiongzhou area, the two instigated Liu Xiang and other county office directors to seal down more than a dozen halls in Qiongshan, Chengmai, and other places under the pretext of "creating a spiritual civilization." The dozen or so old boys who presided over the halls and their families were also thrown into the labor camp in Maxiao.
There are quite a few Taoist temples in Qiongbei and Qiongnan instead of raiding the Taoist temples, and some of them are quite considerable in scale and Taoist properties, and Zhang Daochang originally had a plan for this. But this time he let them go, which was the result of his consultation with Dai Yi. First, it is inevitable that the act of directly attacking religious sites will leave a bad name, and this kind of annexation will not be too good-looking in the history books in the future. On the other hand, there is no pressure to ban it, and even the harshest indigenous Confucian scholars have to admit that this is a good thing for "righteous religion and pure customs", if these Confucian scholars still want to make a living under the rule of Australians.
The Jesuits who remained at the church showed great interest in the new "lambs", and the Jesuit experience on the mainland showed that the intellectual class converted to Christianity could easily achieve the diffusion effect of missionary work from point to point. Although these lambs that have not yet returned to the arms of the Lord are only the last children, they are also considered a rare species in a wild place like Hainan Island, which is the standard of the Ming Kingdom.
However, Dai Yi, who had expected this layer, did not give his European counterparts a chance to get his hands on it, and followed the escort troops into the prisoner of war camp. While the leaders of the new Taoism have no inclination to provoke a head-on conflict between the base camp and the church, they also do not like to be reached out indiscriminately into their own territory.
"What about going astray? Back then, Xue Daoguang mistakenly participated in the Hu Sect, and when he met Zhang Ziyang's real person, didn't he also re-prove the avenue? A solemn face said as he handed out New Taoist pamphlets to the shaved children in the prisoner of war camp.
It turns out that the speed at which people convert to religion in desperate situations is always astonishing, and the old boys who trembled and fell into the Australian prisoner of war camp were all converted in less than a week, and there was a half-baked revelation in the archives of the religious office under Dai Jiemen.
Although it was not long before Dai Yi, who held a compulsory science literacy class every day in Yunjiguan, and a few idlers from the Feiyun Club felt a headache about the incomparably low academic ability of these thirty or forty-year-old children, at least the old children who could read and hyphenate were better than the Li teenagers who could not speak Chinese clearly, at least at this stage, the old children could be sent out to preach after participating in the high-intensity training in the last few months.
The only drawback is that their fanatical spirit is insufficient, and the children lack a spirit of "dedication" that is essential in the places where they go to preach. For the time being, I can only make do with it.
"Exactly where to send them, you wait for my telegram. Before my telegram arrives, you need to hurry up and brainwash them, and by the way, add some nutrition. Zhang Yingchen told him so in a secret conversation with Dai Ye before leaving. At this stage, the focus of your work at Lingao is not to expand the mission. ”
The Senate will not waste resources on the construction of religious civilization, and in the final analysis, this kind of thing will have to be "mastered" to find a way for itself, but to contribute to the engine action of the Senate. At the very least, it is necessary to prove that the Taoist Council has no less questionable value to the Senate in addition to its unquestionable loyalty.
