Chapter 411: The Truth About Tianzhu
"Truth investigation, a Tianzhu state you don't know."
"Decades have passed, who still remembers that a great Tianzhu stood on our land, and under the record of a conscientious literati at that time, we saw such a truth, at that time, the Brahmins were all concerned about the poor, the Kshatriya lords were brave and fearless, the life of the untouchables was happy, the water of the Ganges was extremely clear, the monthly salary of a female textile worker in Calcutta was equivalent to the daily wage of ordinary workers in the imperial capital, the landlords and Kshatriya lords were benevolent and righteous, and they often donated their property to the poor, The whole Tianzhu Prefecture has become a big country with a strong voice......"
"Tianzhu Prefecture should not become an existence ignored by the empire, but should become the object of imperial policy support, the untouchables of Tianzhu Prefecture should receive quality education, and the Kshatriyas should get more opportunities to study in the empire itself! Enough, don't discriminate against your loyal Tianzhu Prefecture! ”
"The results of the Miss Tianzhu pageant in the 40th year of the republic were announced, and the ten finalists will go to the imperial capital to participate in the finals, these young ladies are all from noble Brahmin families, and have maintained white skin for generations, they have been enrolled in the standard school of the imperial capital since childhood, and their Mandarin is up to standard, they are Palyaka Chopra from Mumbai, Aishwarya, these beauties will compete with a thousand beauties of all ethnic groups from the border states of the world, and the final winner will have the opportunity to become the secretary of the noble elder, Let's be proud of these Indian daughters......"
In the new time and space, the wind of overturning the case began to blow in the affiliated colonies of the empire, and those who knew that they did not dare to do anything against the imperial government began to fabricate all kinds of information, and Luo Yonghammer's "truth text" was no longer used as a joke, but it was poisoned to future generations decades later, it can be seen that rumors are spread with one mouth, and rumors can be avoided by changing the world line.
Of course, for Luo Yonghammer, these truth texts are really not made up, at least for him, he believes what he believed at the time.
The most important thing is that as a group that has done all the bad things in their lives, although the Confucian scholars say that they respect ghosts and gods, they are in fact extremely superstitious, and in themselves, promoting superstitious thoughts will help them paralyze the peasants, and at the same time, after doing evil deeds, they will find a way to extricate themselves, which is also a routine.
No matter what kind of earthly paradise Luo Yongzhu and Hou Fangyu originally imagined as the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom, this kind of earthly paradise disappeared when they arrived near the periphery of Goa.
In Luo Yonghammer's imagination, this trip to India will be a new starting point for his personal career, and I want to succeed, and it is not a small success, but a big success, and as a commemoration of this starting point, he naturally gathered a few dog legs, scratched his ears and cheeks and asked them to write poems, and it had to be the kind that could be immortalized.
This is naturally impossible for a group of hammer fans, but it is impossible for any person with a little skill to be fooled by Luo Yonghammer like this, to the pseudonym Qiu Zhonghua Hou Fangyu was in a good mood at this time, and after making a few poems in a row that cursed the people of the Ming Dynasty who refused to be the main one, he began to write poems praising Tianzhu: "Tianzhu has good scenery, the scenery is good Tianzhu, the sun shines in the sky, and Mingjun smiles at me......"
If it is a primary school classroom poem like a footcloth in later generations, what is the so-called central idea to be written, then this poem will also be explained, what is the poet's love for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and what thoughts and thoughts are expressed.
The two of them were also very excited, how many days they had spent at sea, they were already tired, and now they were just a fame and fortune ambition supported by the fact that they went to India with their arms, and they were appointed all of a sudden, and they would be developed by then.
Of course, the two of them basically come from Journey to the West and a little hearsay.
After applauding Hou Fangyu's broken poem, Luo Yonghammer shook his head, although they didn't know what this Tianzhu was, the purpose of the two people actually belonged to the fact that after the failure of the Celestial Empire, they wanted to run overseas to survive, and there was a certain degree of competition, but the two of them had already broken through the sky with their blind arrogance, and they both felt that they could subdue each other with just a few words and become their own lackeys, so they were actually safe and sound.
At this time, there were many sea ships of various styles, and after the Portuguese occupied Goa during this period, because the population was not more than 1,000 troops, they could only choose the relatively gentle rule technique, and for the activities of merchants from other countries in Goa and India, they only wanted to pass through it harmlessly.
Although Portugal is considered to be the leader of the Age of Discovery, many years ago, the rivers and lakes were no longer theirs.
Sea power countries can often only be island countries, because if a country, sailing into its own business, will inevitably lead to the neglect of its army, and in the European continent of the sea power countries, Portugal is surrounded by relatives Spain, has been eroded a lot of times, the Netherlands was not left behind at sea, but alive was also dragged to death on land by the virtuous France.
Basically, the sea powers are island states, or like China and the United States, occupying a corner of the continent, with no enemies in close proximity around.
In fact, there are some unique places in this part of India.
First of all, the latitude and longitude are located in the region, under the blessing of rainfall and monsoon, in addition to being hotter, it is more suitable for farming than China, not to mention that its land is bordered by the sea on both sides of the east and west, and it does not suffer in the era of shipping.
But the luck of this place is extremely bad, the terrain is too closed, not to mention its bad luck, every time the beginning of the transition from religious sacrifice to nationalism, a group of foreign tribes invaded, and the last wave of Germanic tribes came in according to the caste system to turn India into a country that has not changed for hundreds of years.
How horrible is this? India, a city famous for textiles, was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the British cheap offensive at that time, and the most incredible thing is that the unemployed textile workers starved to death.
Of course, this is not because someone did it on purpose, but under the caste system, one caste does one thing, and if you cross the rules, and you don't even need the Brahmin lord to do it, naturally there are people from other castes who will teach you a lesson for not following the rules.
In this case, India has almost impossible to unify for hundreds of years, and the so-called lords of the princely states basically sit on their own territory and claim the king, for many reasons, but the main reasons are the difficulty in expanding the number of soldiers, as well as the blockage of roads, and the difficulty in the development of commerce.
In fact, India is by no means the birthplace of Buddhism, the real birthplace is Nepal, and after the fall of Ashoka's dynasty, the decline of Buddhism cannot be stopped at all.
The situation is very simple, for the Brahmins who have seized power, the British colonizers and the Buddhists who preach the great perverse concept of the equality of all beings are, of course, the introduction of the British master to fight the Buddhists.
Of course, where does Luo Yonghammer know this, he thought beautifully, although he took a lot of investors' money and ran away, but he has a hammer fan like a mad dog, but it is just a quibble, let's publish, you are neither willing to buy hammer coins nor die, which makes us very embarrassed, and I don't care about the poor people who collect debts at all.
At this time, he was full of spirits, but he didn't have any ink on his chest, but he couldn't say the words of celebrities for the ages, and he was just a person who couldn't fight back with rhythmic attacks from beginning to end.
At this time, I only hate the excitement of not having a lupine scarf, and the elders of the imperial capital are in ashes when talking and laughing, but for them, this is really nothing, Luo Yonghammer suddenly said: "This India is really a fairyland, it is said that the four seasons are like spring there, I really don't know how much of it is true in Journey to the West." ”
Hou Fangyu said: "The closer you get to the Buddha realm, the more everyone is naturally good, the more outstanding people are, where it seems to be Dongsheng Shenzhou, everyone is corrupt and does not respect Confucianism, this is ......"
He just wanted to continue to criticize the Celestial Empire, but suddenly remembered something, in the Journey to the West, although the Buddha called himself, the West Niu Hezhou, not greedy or killed, nourishing the spirit of the soul, although the supreme truth, everyone has a long life, but the closer the distance and from the Tianzhu Kingdom, the more powerful the monsters, the most monsters in the Tang Dynasty are two or three kittens, and the closer to the Buddha's territory, the more miserable the human beings will be, the closer the distance, and there are even countries like the Lion Camel Country that directly eat up the human beings and the monsters occupy.
Thinking of this, he shuddered even more, and then he remembered that Wu Chengen, who wrote Journey to the West, was also a literati, and he had been dead for less than a hundred years, and for literati, it was instinct to say the opposite, reverse the facts, could it be ......
Remember what his father said, literati do things, think about it without asking right or wrong, conscience and morality, only ask a winning word, you win, what high-ranking officials are generous, mansion beauties are yours, who fancy the beauty of the money can be directly snatched over, the most important thing is that as long as you ensure that all the people are yours in the end, then the people who record history naturally know how to help you use the Spring and Autumn penmanship, even if you are a traitor, you can come back, even if you are not a powerful person, but make a few more friends, let those friends write more notes, diary, The script or something, in it, portrays himself as a great hero and a good person, and everyone who opposes himself is written as a traitor, what do the common people know?
It is impossible for ordinary people to understand that in the peach blossom fan, the male protagonist in it is a proper traitor, but after writing it as a positive character, hundreds of years later, there will naturally be descendants of traitors who have been traitors for hundreds of years to avenge their grievances, martyrs and heroes always die more, and the so-called intellectuals who know how to "protect themselves with wisdom" and "be with light and dust" and pay attention to "the interests of our legal elite themselves" can naturally protect themselves very well, and only he is alive in the end.
In fact, Hou Fangyu has already befriended a brother of the Kong family through the money left by his father, and the brother has promised to write a script praising Hou Fangyu when the wind is calm in a few years.
But Hou Fangyu was scared for a moment.
He knows the face of the Da Ming literati, but there is no truth in the mouths of the big V level in later generations, is what the Da Ming literati say reliable.
Is this place of Tianzhu really a paradise on earth?
After a moment of hesitation, he was not discovered by Luo Yonghammer, he was still in excitement, although many of the past ships were barbarian flags, but they were all new ships, but in the eyes they were also tigers and tigers.
Cheer yourself up, you can grasp the power immediately in your imagination, and when the time comes, these ships will not directly extract heavy taxes, so that those cheap people will know that some of the Hammer God Sect is powerful!
was fantasizing about the future, but the ship was bumpy, almost knocking down another sage after Confucius and Mencius, and there were still shouts.
When you ask what happened, the source of the problem is also clear.
Corpse.
More than a dozen corpses, coming down the river from the mouth of the river in front of them, came from the mouth of the sea, but they were drifting on the channel, and a group of sea boats took refuge.
The seafarers were always superstitious, and when they saw such things, they took out the props of prayer from each family, and began to pray to the gods while saying bad luck.
In this era, those who make a fortune at sea are often won by strength, and the scum of all races is everywhere, and at this time, the superstitions of all ethnic groups on the sea ships rise and fall, and everyone is doing the business of gods, in fact, the routines are almost the same, nothing more than the intimidation of hell plus the temptation of heaven, and the endorsement that murder is not illegal and not condemned by conscience.
As the saying goes, believing in the way of Christ is natural, and loving Jesus and Buddha will cross sentient beings.
Although it is lively, it is not chaotic, the reason is, of course, that although those corpses are terrifying, they are commonplace for the old rivers and lakes, and this is India.
"The popular among these Indians is sea burial, water burial, that is, throwing the body into the water and letting it rot, well, by the way, this Indian water, you can't drink it casually, everyone has paid attention to me!"
The old captain drunkenly poured a sip of rum into his mouth, and at the same time issued countless orders with the Dutch-speaking curse, those sailors were originally unruly and disobedient, but the word Tianzhu seemed to make them honest.
I was thinking about how to show my strength after arriving at the place, but suddenly met some Indians who were buried in water, Luo Yonghammer scolded a few words, and immediately felt very defeated, but Hou Fangyu was excited: "This is the unity of heaven and man, and it is the principle of equality of all beings respected by the Buddha, and the reincarnation of the five elements, heaven and man are sensible, and it is indeed worthy of the Buddha country." ”
Although Hou Fangyu himself did not dare to stay outside, but returned to the crowded and damp cabin, but at this time it was the climax of the reversal, and he naturally praised India like a broken mouth, although it was a little difficult to swallow, but it was nothing to blow awkwardly, as a Confucian scholar, he naturally had this kind of ability to slap his swollen face but still persist.
But the two hid for a while, or relieved, these days on the ship, can not be dressed well, naturally embarrassed, now to the place, naturally to dress up, they know that this Goa is also occupied by Westerners, but they also know that it is similar to Macau, that is, so a thousand people, so they made up their minds to find the emperor of India.
