Section 236 reaction
Zhao Gonglian's speech broke the ridiculous beliefs and shameful ideas held by the disciples of Buddhism, such as the indistinguishable national character inside and outside, the country and the nation hiding in the mountains and leisurely watching when the country and the nation are in trouble, and weakened the monks' hatred and resistance to the Cangbei government, and also stimulated the monks' sense of crisis, urgency and mission in the national crisis.
His kindness also won the trust and followers of these monks.
The reality also forced the monks to follow the dependence, otherwise they would have to starve to death and freeze to death or be killed at will by the Liao Kou who committed the border if they lost the protection of the Cangbei government.
The content of Zhao Gonglian's speech also quickly spread to the imperial court and to the outside.
The Cangbei army, from the officials and generals to the soldiers, and the people of Cangbei and the world, pondered and felt: Yes, they are all human beings, why do we work hard and fight against foreign enemies, and those who shave bald heads, chant scriptures, shout and shout mercy, don't do anything, just wait to enjoy and escape? The monks were not more noble than us, and they were originally poor and lowly......
The hundreds of thousands of monks who could only recite scriptures in the early autumn harvest felt Zhao Gonglian's deep contempt for Buddhist disciples like them from their speeches, and for the first time clearly felt that the people around them were more or less sympathetic, and they became tangible and invisible antipathy and hostility towards them, and even the rotten army of Hejian Mansion who was guarding them laughed at them.
One of you rotten soldiers is not a good thing, it is a criminal social scourge, and you actually have the face to laugh at my holy children of Buddhism?
The monks, especially the senior monks, were very indignant.
However, in fact, Buddhism has been practicing for thousands of years, ignoring the dark and dirty nature and shameless sins of the country, the nation, and the suffering of the people, and the glamorous coat has been torn even more, and the arrogance of the worldly masters who have watched all beings sink into the world and struggle in all kinds of ways has also been vented, and they can only be more honest and work harder in a worse survival situation.
Moreover, objectively, whether they want to or not, they have to admit that the meager manpower of the Great Song Dynasty today is indeed unable to bear the huge burden of feeding so many idlers who consume money and food for a long time.
Even if the imperial court did not brazenly destroy the Buddha, the huge population of Buddhism would have to be spurned and even hated and attacked by the people who could not bear the heavy burden sooner or later, and suffered heavy losses. At that time, hundreds of thousands of monks who refuse to support themselves will have to starve to death, and if they don't want to starve to death, they will have to be deceived or even robbed by scattered societies, and go to live a life of unearned earnings, which is more obviously evil, and create even greater sins. Buddhism still has to decay, and at the same time, it is also further dragging down the Great Song Dynasty. If there are any aliens who take advantage of the false killing, I am afraid that the Buddhism will also perish.
It was not unaware of this before the destruction of Buddhism, but the monks, including the senior monks, refused to face the reality and continued to live a life of free immortals.
They all firmly believe that there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. The parasitic society will be talked about on the day when it really can't be mixed up.
Buddhism has great wisdom and thousands of years of historical experience in disaster avoidance (people in the world are ignorant and do not know that a large amount of money and food is accumulated in advance before the crisis of the troubled times comes, and then they will hide in the mountains with money and food, and still be free). There will always be a way to get through tough times. Buddhism can be passed down for thousands of years, which has long proved the wisdom of the calamity.
This kind of mentality, this kind of practice, Buddhism does not feel ashamed, but only conceited and self-satisfied.
Because the Buddha will also close his eyes in troubled times, according to Buddhism, he can't bear to see the bloody suffering in the world, saying that it is the cycle of heaven, and the war and disaster are the will of heaven that people in the world have done too much evil and should be punished. That is to say, the Buddha is helpless under the will of heaven, and does not care about the life and death of the people in the calamity. After the calamity, open your eyes and come out with 'compassion'.
If the Buddha is like this, what is there to be ashamed of a mortal monk who shirks his responsibilities, competes with the world for food, and ignores the suffering of the world?
The suffering of the world is deserved.
Who told you not to be a monk and to be ungodly and to give money and food to the Buddha? If there is a great calamity, the Buddha will naturally not protect you.
In short, it is also a Buddhist reason, and everything should be done.
Only this time, Buddhism can no longer escape......
Under the sudden immigration frenzy, the population and social wealth of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly plummeted, and Buddhism lost the foundation and time to quietly deprive and accumulate the huge amount of money and food needed to survive the troubled times from the huge population and social wealth base. When Buddhism recovered from the killing and plundering panic caused by the crazy immigration wave, it was not good, and it was afraid that the troubled times were coming, and it began to work hard to turn the fate and foolish people to fool money and food......
At this point, what can the hundreds of thousands of men in Buddhism do not help to share the burden of the people and the responsibility of saving the nation from peril?
If you don't do it, they will starve to death first and be killed by the alien bandits.
Zhao Gonglian shocked and calmed all the monks. The vast crops that were abandoned in Cangbei did not have to worry about no one harvesting, and they were quickly returned to the warehouse. Immediately, the Tuntian monk harvesting group marched south, and under the watchful eye of the army, they helped harvest the fields that Cangzhou and Hejian Fu also lacked people to harvest. The warrior monks who joined the army were transferred to training and guarding the northern border pass.
In this way, the military monks who eat and live well and do not have to work hard in the field support the Cangbei government and further retract their hearts.
The Tuntian monks and military monks were separated from each other, and the senior monks could not influence the military monks stationed at the border passes, and the overall power of Buddhism was further cut and divided, and it was easier to be divided and conquered.
Harvest a large amount of ownerless grain, distribute some to Su Taiwei, and the rest do not need to be handed over to the imperial court. This was promised by the imperial court in advance to Zhao Gonglian. The life of the Cangbei Army has been more sufficiently guaranteed, and there is no need to be stuck looking at the faces of the thieves in the DPRK and China. The monks and prisoners also had food settled, and the monks' hearts were stable. Zhao Gonglian controlled Cangbei and had more initiative.
By absorbing warrior monks and strong, powerful and vicious monks who can fight twice, the backbone of the armed forces of monks and criminals who make trouble and even rebel has been evacuated, the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, and Cangbei has also replenished more than 40,000 troops. The border guards in the four military states are in short supply, and the individual armed forces as a whole have been greatly improved compared with the border armies before the defection, and the defense is no longer empty.
When the defected Cangbei Army arrived overseas, it was not incorporated into the regular army, but was included in the "National Guard" in various localities, and was actually a civilian paramilitary organization to defend the security of the interior...... What is suitable for what to do.
After the immigration frenzy, the defector troops in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, whether they were officers or soldiers, were completely dismantled and dealt with in this way.
Whether it is a fugitive or a deserter, only a small number of vicious, lazy, accustomed to disobeying the arrangement, working in a down-to-earth manner, wanting to mix in society in the new environment, relying on all kinds of illegal means to make a living, and posing a threat to social stability, or brave and willing to fight in the army, are incorporated into the army, and this is also to enhance the grassroots strength of the Yugoslav Army.
In fact, the common people of the pirate empire, whether in the city or in the country, whether workers or peasants, whether bosses, wealthy businessmen, officials, and landlords, all had to be included in the National Guard, unless there were no adult men in the family or special talents who could not be used in the war and risk losing due to the law.
You say that I am the only adult man in my family, I don't know martial arts, I am cowardly and afraid of death, I dare not kill people, and I am not suitable for war, I can't see blood, so I won't join the guards, or I am rich and powerful, I can hire someone or transfer someone to participate on my behalf. That's all impossible.
When the citizens of the empire enjoy the infinitely beautiful life and fair and just treatment of the empire, they still want to let others die to prevent disasters when there are battles and disasters like when they were Song people, and they shrink back and enjoy the security and social wealth that others sacrifice in exchange. This kind of selfish and cowardly mentality and behavior is expressly not allowed by law.
It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country.
That's one thing.
The more selfish, cowardly, and afraid of death, the more fearful, conservative and cowardly, the more you have to join the guards.
It is necessary to exercise courage by participating in combat and military training, and to force out bravery, strength, pioneering spirit, a sense of social responsibility, and national honor.
What the empire wants is a brave and responsible pioneering nation, not a nation with 10,000 virtues that is cowardly and cowering, or even indistinguishable from inside and outside. Whoever refuses to change is not worthy to be a citizen of this country. Whoever only wants to shirk the responsibility of defending the homeland and the country will be forced by the state to join the war. You deserve to die.
This is the national policy and will of the Empire.
The kings of the empire have to go to war, the noble princes have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the lives of others are so precious that they can escape responsibility?
The pirate empire has two elite armies in the north and south, and also has to set up an unlimited number of national guards throughout the country, which is the need of the national situation that is not optimistic.
The two regular armies had to deter the country, and they had to be responsible for foreign expeditions, and the task in the next few years was arduous, and there were many hard battles waiting for them, and they could not take care of the small disasters and difficulties at home.
In China, there are many islands, primeval forests are widely spread, and the barbaric and ignorant aborigines living on a large number of islands that have not been swept and cleared or the natives who have escaped the net in the primeval forests are the hidden dangers of pirates and robbers, threatening the production and life of people everywhere at all times.
As a foreigner from afar, he has seized the living space of the natives, how can he seize the occupation and enjoy it with peace of mind.
If you rob someone, you must always be prepared to resist their retaliation.
This simple truth is universal and applicable to all times and periods.
Cleaning up the barbarian natives and fighting against the invasion and scourge of the natives is a long-term task that requires patience and time, and can only be done little by little by the National Guard in daily life.
The army that fled from the Great Song Dynasty was not only a person who had taken a knife and a gun but had the most basic military literacy, and when he became a citizen of the empire, he was naturally a member of the National Guard and even a backbone.
I didn't say this.
In peacetime, he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body and will, participated in collective military training in his spare time, and went into battle when he had something. The school is also equipped with martial arts classes as part of sports.
If we persist in this way from generation to generation, the physical quality and spiritual will of the entire nation will inevitably change slowly.
This is the national policy that Zhao Yue insists on.
He didn't want to see the world he came from again, China is obviously the source of martial arts civilization, but the essence is extinct, the tradition of martial arts has disappeared, and the Chinese people are ridiculed as sick men and weak chickens who are easy to bully, but it is the stick country of the country of what fist sword flow martial arts samurai spirit has become a glory and is a sad trend of being worshiped and learned by the Chinese.
If a nation wants to be strong in the world, it must be strong both mentally and physically. Physical strength is more conducive to mental strength.
Even in the era of thermal weapons, an army that knows martial arts is not as brave and good at fighting as it can't. At least in terms of physical strength and mental exhaustion, it is stronger than ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhao Yue attached great importance to the martial arts literacy of citizens, asked the empire to compile the essence of martial arts, and set the promotion and maintenance of martial arts traditions as one of the basic national policies forever.
Looking back, there are also hundreds of monks and apprentices in Cangbei who are separated from each army, and there are also important military doctors in various military states.
With a few thousand nuns, there are finally people who can do the work of women who must have such as sewing and mending in the four military states.
As for the cook, that's even more abundant.
The food for the army is ready. There are too many monks and cooks to use.
It is a waste for monks with high cooking skills to make big pot rice in the army, and it will ruin their skills after a long time, so they secretly get them overseas to become teachers in cooking schools and cooks in high-end restaurants, and force these monks to carry forward their exquisite cooking skills and experience. Like any other technology, it can no longer be lost when people die.
The most hateful thing about Chinese civilization is that there are people who cherish their brooms and brooms, and they would rather die and bring them into coffins than pass them on to outsiders, let alone teach them extensively.
In order to encourage the transmission of arts, the empire not only established a patent protection law, but also formed a company to protect the vital interests of the artists with the position of a major shareholder.
You can pass it on to you with confidence. The more people who will do it, the bigger it is, the greater your income and long-term benefits, and you will also have a good reputation all over the world, and you will really gain fame and fortune.
On the other hand, the smooth and stable reception of monks and prisoners in Cangbei made the imperial court, including Emperor Zhao Ji, a mixed blessing, and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The big/troubles and even dangerous disasters thrown into Cangbei were solved so easily by Zhao Gonglian, which once again proved Zhao Gonglian's extraordinary ability and courage to govern the world.
In order to quickly restore the strength and safety of the Cangbei border pass, there is no need to worry about Liao Kou entering the interior of the Great Song Dynasty and endangering the country, I am very relieved to let out a breath that I have been holding for a long time, and the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK really can't figure it out, how can Zhao Gonglian play this matter so easily? How can a monk who is full of resentment, anger and murderous spirit be so honest and easy to appease and deal with?
Is Zhao Gonglian too powerful and we are too incompetent? Or are the monks too weak and timid, far from being as pious and fanatical as the court fears, and have wisdom and means to deal with them?
Seeing that Cangbei is orderly and steady, the DPRK and China should laugh happily, but in fact, there is always a very unwilling mood in the hearts of too many officials.
Emperor Zhao Ji's mood was even more complicated and contradictory.
He had to admit once again that Zhao Gonglian was indeed different, and the Great Song Dynasty did need Zhao Gonglian's support, but he was also more jealous and even hostile.
For Zhao Gonglian, he has a strong sense of frustration and shame that he is incurable and helpless.
What made Zhao Ji miserable and unhappy in his heart was that Tao Daxian and Xiaodao Tong, whom he trusted most and had been highly relied on psychologically, magically disappeared from the heavily guarded palace. None of the people in the palace found out when, how, and when Tao Daxian and his apprentice left. No one can tell.
Since Zhao Ji firmly ordered to destroy the Buddha, Tao Daxian disappeared, leaving only a letter to Zhao Ji, which said that he had leaked the heavenly secrets, offended the gods of the Buddha, and would be punished for fear that his life would be short, and staying in the palace would bring disaster to the palace, and he had to leave for the safety of the emperor. The reason why he is willing to leak the heavenly opportunity to the emperor and not hesitate to offend the gods and Buddhas, on the one hand, is to thank the emperor for his kindness and loyalty to Taoism, and is willing to dedicate himself, on the other hand, it is also because of his limited qualifications for cultivating immortals. Just don't go into the suffering of samsara.
Zhao Ji was so moved.
But it's just a passing emotion. If he really becomes an immortal, whether he is willing to reach out to help Tao Daxian get out of the sea of suffering is two words.
The emperor is the most selfish and domineering of this species. No matter how good others are to the emperor, it should be. The emperor does not need to have to reciprocate.
Kindness must be repaid, and righteousness must be repaid, which does not belong to the emperor's style.
