Section 107 Religious Persons

The tone had been set for the officers and enlisted prisoners, but there were different controversies over the disposition of these men's staff.

Generally speaking, the people who control this group despise and even hostile all intellectuals in this time and space from the root, believing that they are not only useless, but also dangerous, and that they are the bane of fighting for the right to speak and sedition. Although out of practical considerations, the "Jasmine Xuan Work" was implemented in Lingao, which attracted some local intellectuals, and was also initially recognized by the mainstream scholars of Lingao, including Liu Dalin.

But this group of people is different, they are following the crusading army to win the enemy, and many of them are soldiers who originally wanted to make a fortune in the coming high or implement their plan of "stabilizing the country". The patriarchs, regardless of their position, have instinctively regarded them as enemies.

Some people demanded that they all be executed directly, while others thought that it was useless to keep them and that it was too cruel to kill them, so it was better to release them all.

But most of the patriarchs felt that this was too cheap for them, and demanded that they be humiliated, and that the leaders of them be tortured and killed. Some people have proposed that they be tortured in an all-out manner, and some people have even proposed that they be publicly tortured and then tortured to death one by one at the Lingao Grand Stadium, and then the photos will be sent to the whole province of Guangdong.

In particular, Lu Yizhong fell into their hands, which made many "revenge theorists" go crazy, although Lu Yizhong has always been afraid of his fate, but if he knew how the "thieves" were going to deal with him, I am afraid that he would be scared to death immediately.

After the discussion of torture and torture reached ** on the BBS, Zhou Dongtian, who is best at torture and interrogation, made a different statement about it.

He was not in favor of torture or torture of all kinds.

He believes that torture and killing cannot effectively destroy the psychological defense of the ** imperial society. Because in this kind of society, torture and torture are daily things, and they do not arouse much fear among all strata.

The experiences of countless martyrs and traitors tell us that torture, no matter how strange it is, is not a one-size-fits-all path. Dialectical materialism tells us that matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts on matter. The history of wars throughout the dynasties tells us that a strong fortress is the easiest to attack from within.

Scholars are not all soft bones, even in the Nanming regime when the red water flowed all over the ground when he met Dolgon, there were many scholars who were determined and willing to kill themselves.

The massacre will only scare some people, but not all. Especially when the other person thinks he has the truth. Scholars are also people who have always been considered to have the truth in Chinese society.

Therefore, Zhou Dongtian believes that attacking the spiritual defense line of the "scholars" of the Ming Dynasty, rather than boosting the morale of the "scholars" of the Ming Dynasty, is still the most realistic for the current crossing public.

Obama slaughtered him, but he never dared to return his body to bin Laden's relatives. I had to mysteriously make a sea burial. At that time, the Allies hanged the war criminals of the Third Reich, and after the bodies were burned to ashes, they had to be secretly thrown into the river to be destroyed. The purpose is not to allow anyone to preach the spirit through their bones and relics.

The enemy dies as a warrior or is killed*. It is an example for both the enemy and his own people. It is not difficult for any ruler to torture and kill a representative enemy, but it must be absolutely avoided. Torture and killing will arouse the hatred of the enemy and the enemy, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"The best way to do this is to 'stink,'" Zhou pointed out, adding that there is nothing more desirable than stinking the reputation of an opponent.

"Everyone knows that the loser has no power, only to be disposed of. Weishenme Every time the victorious side has to set up a court to interrogate war criminals? Zhou Dongtian said at the meeting, "It is to stink the opponent so that the opponent cannot become a hero on the loser's side - if not all of them work, at least the suspicious part of them do." Our thinking is the same. ”

"I understand what Lao Zhou means." Ding Ding hurriedly jumped out, lest the limelight be taken away by Zhou Dongtian, "We also have to organize a war criminals tribunal and distribute the trial records of the tribunal everywhere......"

Ma Jia agreed, the concept of interrogating war criminals is very good, he likes it, and it can fully demonstrate the role and significance of the Law Society.

"It doesn't matter what kind of war criminal trial you want to do, but I object to interrogating Lu Yizhong." Zhou Dongtian said, "What about Weishenme? Because he is going to be a pawn for us......"

"Wouldn't it? Is this bastard going to be put back? ”

"Do you expect him to serve us? It's incredible. ”

"No, that's what I mean." Zhou Dongtian's idea was to immediately start the interrogation of Lu Yizhong and dig out all the scandals in Guangdong officialdom that he knew.

Some of these materials were selectively compiled, mainly focusing on Wang Zunde's decision to go to war, so that all the internal aspects of the "unauthorized border provocation" could be exposed, and these materials were distributed by the comrades who still insisted on their activities in Guangzhou and displayed to the Guangdong officialdom.

Once this part of the material is revealed, Wang Zunde's originally precarious popularity will be dealt a fatal blow. He will lose his position as governor of Canton faster than normal. No matter who takes over his position, after the arrival of the new governor of Yue, he will inevitably change his position to Fu.

"This is still secondary, the key is that the original conquest of the dignified array has become a 'provocation' for the sake of some people's own interests'. According to the information collected by the comrades of the Guangzhou Station on the "Intelligence Compilation", the Guangdong officialdom did not support the war very much, but now there is a confession from Lu Yizhong. There will be many people who have a negative attitude towards Guangdong launching this battle. In modern parlance, it is to confuse each other's minds. ”

Zhou Dongtian's remarks won the approval of the majority, and as for the other aides, everyone thought that they could be allowed to fully visit and study in Lingao, and then release them after a certain stage, so that they could go back to be volunteer propagandists through the public.

"In the state of the late Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that after a few months of visiting and studying, there will be people who are unwilling to leave and are willing to stay as our dog-headed military advisors." Yu Eshui jokingly said, "You can use it for me when the time comes." ”

Lu Yizhong's fate was thus decided. A few days later, he was brought out alone and sent to the General Administration of Political Security for a separate interrogation. Jiang Shan was also very interested in this source of information -- among all the captured civil and military officials, Lü was the closest to the core and knew the most about the affairs of Guangdong officialdom. Moreover, he has been close to the confidential core of a province for a long time, and his understanding of the operation of officialdom far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Zhou Dongtian took care of his apprentices: "Scrub and clean up our guys." Anyone who comes into contact with the skin and flesh should be disinfected with alcohol to prevent infection. Also, you go to the general hospital and book me a nurse with first aid equipment. ”

He also instructed a few "temporary workers" to clean and ventilate the torture and detention rooms.

"It's going to be a car ** battle these days." Zhou Dongtian said, "You can go to rest first after you pack up." ”

"Yes, Chief." A few people replied respectfully, these are all the servants of the soap class in the yamen, and the people in the soap class are known for their ruthlessness, not only with powerful means, but also without any psychological obstacles in doing things. Zhou Dongtian selected a few people who did not have too much blood debt as retained personnel.

At this time, He Ying opened a report in his office.

The sender of the report was Zhang Yingchen, who made a report last week saying that he would be returning to Lingao from Sanya for a few days. He Ying thought that he had something to do before he hurried back to Lingao—according to his weekly reports, his missionary activities in Sanya were going well. Not only did it smoothly enter the Lebanese district, but it also developed hundreds of Lebanese believers in the local area. A number of young men and women were also recruited to be trained as "Taoist students".

To the Religious Office:

In order to contribute to the external propaganda work of the group, our unit will hold the Qiongshan Battle Martyrs and the Five Gentlemen of the Martyrs after the war to recommend the Blessing of the Dead.

Attachments: 1. The martyrs who died in the Battle of Qiongshan and the five gentlemen who died posthumously recommended the Jihua book of the Underworld Blessing Festival

2. Temporarily request the declaration form for the list of Lingao Taoist teachers of the Propaganda Department

Zhang Yingchen, head of the Qiongnan District of the Religious Affairs Office

He Ying didn't understand for a while who these five gentlemen were—where did they get the five gentlemen? His first reaction was the five gentlemen in the original tombstone of the five people, but these five gentlemen have nothing to do with the crossing group, and they are far away in Suzhou, what are they doing here in Lingao for no reason?

When he saw the annex, he realized that the five hawkers who had been beheaded by officers and soldiers in Qiongshan to sacrifice the flag. Although everyone knew about this when they watched the film filmed by the special investigation team, and they talked about how brutal the officers and soldiers were, no one contacted the concept of the Five Gentlemen based on this.

"The Rotten Dao Chief really thinks about it. It's a good idea. He Ying laughed, he didn't think it was a bad idea. It can not only highlight the brutality and ruthlessness of the officials and soldiers, but also coat oneself with a layer of "benevolence and righteousness". He remembered that a few days ago, Dean Wu of Lingao Church also gave him a report, asking to go to Chengmai to conduct a requiem dispersal for the dead and pray for their souls.

This can be done together. He Ying thought to himself, and as Wu Shimang said in the report, since it is a sacrifice to the dead, you might as well be generous and include all the dead in this war in the scope of sacrifice. In order to fully demonstrate the benevolence and fraternity of the Lingao regime.

The plan was approved after the revisions. As the head of the Propaganda Department, Ding Ding praised the Jihua of the Religious Affairs Office very much and said that he would fully cooperate. This includes personnel support and necessary financial support. He Ying thought about it, since there are two families, the Catholic Church and the New Taoism, it stands to reason that the monks should also go out. After all, Buddhism still has a great influence in China. But the religious office has no qualified monks at all. There are very few temples in Lingao, and almost all of them are in a state of abandonment, and a few monks can only be regarded as amateur religious personnel, except for "Amitabha" and chanting a few words of Xuanjuan, they hardly understand any ** and Buddhist rituals.

Fortunately, according to the information of the intelligence department, there are several monasteries in Chengmai. Monks can be recruited on the spot to participate in this large-scale ceremony, which is nothing more than to give some reward afterwards. He Ying thought that in fact, the Buddhist world should not be ignored. It's time to find a suitable surrogate.

When He Ying was pondering which patriarch was willing to be a monk, in an office in the big library, Yu Eshui opened a letter that also came from Zhang Yingchen

Friends

See the letter like a meeting

Recently, Li Min of Qiongshan County reported that officers and soldiers had arrested five Ming people who had come to high trade and beheaded them on the charge of "banditry."

The government is willing to be evildoers, so why not be merciful. In order to publicize the benevolence of our crossing group, I suggest that these five Ming people be buried and buried in a monument to commemorate the treatment of martyrs. I have excerpted the fifth part of the content of the Qing Dynasty's Quanzu Wang's "Fish Pavilion Collection" to complete a draft of the inscription, and I hope that you, an expert in literature and history, will revise and polish it.

And again: The brocade of the Li district is indeed not bad, and I have the good fortune to get one from a certain Oya, and I enclose it herewith.

Your friend Zhang Yingchen

Attached to the back is a draft of the inscription rewritten by Zhang Yingchen:

The five gentlemen of Qiongshan, the governor of Gaiyue, Wang Zunde, raised swords and soldiers in vain, advocated public opinion and died in death. Lan destroys the jade, which can be mourned, but its righteousness is also enough to be immortal

In the fifth month of Gengwu, the troops in eastern Guangdong rose, and their disturbance was like locusts crossing the border, and the people were very miserable. Or Yun "The military disaster is more fierce than the bandits", when the governor of Yue heard about it, he got these five gentlemen, and he actually sat on the "bandits" and died.

……

Woohoo, there are many people who have been loyal and righteous in ancient and modern times. Since Erjiazi, the party disaster is blazing, Xia, Shen, Yang, and Zhang Zhongzheng are in the front, and Yang, Zuo, Huang, and Zhou Zhugong are in prison

Then the misfortune of the five gentlemen of Qiongshan, is it accidental?

Break through the darkness of this raspberry and clear the world, and the benevolent should deserve it

After reading it, Yu Eshui felt that Jihua, the "artificial hero" of the head of the rotten spring road, was a very haode idea. However, the specific handling of this needs to be carefully considered. It is true that two of the five peddlers were their men, and the officers and men did not kill the wrong people - although the officers and men did not know that the two peddlers were intelligence officers sent by the Intelligence Bureau.

I really have to follow the idea of the corrupt chief, I wonder how the intelligence bureau will feel about this? Will they not appreciate it, but see it as a sarcasm? Or maybe they think that such fanfare will undermine the concealed identities of the two men......

After careful consideration, Yu Eshui decided to postpone this jihua, or to communicate with the intelligence bureau before making a decision.

Sunlight shines through the mist on the Mayuan Peninsula.

In a newly completed chapel outside the Ma Yuan commune site, Dean Wu and Priest Bai were looking at their images in front of the large mirror in the lounge.

The image is impeccable, they are all dressed in simple black religious uniforms and hung with simple wooden crosses. The image of a serious and compassionate religious professional.

"Let's go, Priest White, let's go." Wu Shimang looked at himself with satisfaction.

"Yes, Dean." Bai Duolu said respectfully, he regretted a little that Weishenme was not the Bishop of Lingao in the first place. Now I have to make a look of respect for Wu Shimang.

The two walked slowly out of the lounge, where several recently baptized captives knelt in the chapel and prayed to the stained-glass crucifixion. When they saw the dean and priest come out, they came and begged him to bless him.

Dean Wu pretended to draw a cross, and this appearance made Bai Duolu very impressed. Don't say it, he can't be so quiet.

Soon after the captives arrived at Mayuan, the church made a great breakthrough, and immediately dozens of hesitant prisoners of war were baptized, which brought tears of joy to the Jesuits who were here to help, and the evening prayers were twice as long as expected, and they almost broke the leg of Dean Wu, who was accompanying him.

However, it was precisely because of the effect that the missionary simply stayed on his horse. The religious "Great Comfort" ceremony organized by He Ying had to be attended by Wu Shimang and Bai Duolu.

In addition to the two of them, several indigenous believers from the church followed.

The jihua submitted by the Lingao Church and the Neo-Taoist Church became the "Great Comfort Spirit" after being re-organized by the Religious Affairs Office and the Propaganda Department. Religious ceremonies will be held in the local area to mourn the victims of the two sides in order to win people's hearts and express their "benevolence and righteousness".

Zhang Yingchen was standing by the ox cart preparing to go to Chengmai at this time, waiting for the personnel of Lingao Church, his face had become darker in the past few months, his skin was very rough, and his hair had completely grown and turned into a bun. Wearing a new navy blue collared road robe, with a cloth around the waist. Wear locally made shoes on your feet. He wears a hat on his head and carries a basket that seems to be full of things.

He still had the usual smile on his face.

There was also a newcomer beside him, who was described as an obscene uncle, and was also wearing a standard Taoist robe of the New Daoist Sect that did not fit well. He also carried a basket on his back.

"This is the assistant of the poor road: Dai Yi." Zhang Yingchen introduced, "Dai Tongdao also intends to dedicate himself to the cause of new Taoism. This time we went to Chengmai together. ”

The group climbed into the ox cart and slowly walked towards Chengmai.

"Daochang Zhang." Bai Duolu said politely, "Won't you bring a few more people with you?" Religious ceremonies can't be carried out if there are fewer people. ”

"There are already a few Taoists in Sanya, but they are too short to follow. Musical instruments are not well learned. Zhang Yingchen said slowly, "I brought a tape recorder and a loudspeaker, let's play the CD first." ”

"I remember that the Taoist priest practice of Jiao requires a lot of people and a lot of procedures...... "No matter how you look at the new Taoism, there are only two people."

"The Poor Dao is a new Taoism. Advocate simplicity and modernization. It's like the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism. Zhang Yingchen seemed to say casually.

In fact, he didn't want to put on a grand Jiao ceremony, but a few Taoist students from Li Min were not even good at speaking Chinese, and it was even more difficult to learn Taoist rituals. And it is not easy to prepare clothing and ritual tools in a hurry. So he finally decided to take "simplicity" and "solemnity" as the guiding direction.

"Actually, I originally just wanted to do a consolation ceremony for the martyrs' tomb and the five people who were innocently beheaded in Qiongshan." Zhang Yingchen waved his sleeves, "Since Director He said that he would do a Dharma meeting for all the dead, this is also a very meritorious thing. ”
