Section 228 Response, Final

Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and even the entire temple is obviously a monk, but in fact it is a spy of the enemy country, which is the result of the inadvertent anger discovered when the Western Army encircled and suppressed the Buddhism in the jurisdiction.

The Western Army dealt with the Yunzhou Prefecture of Western Xia and Liao.

The Liao country is huge. Western Xia was strong. Both horseback peoples are robbers and difficult to deal with. And these two countries also believe in Buddhism, or at least Buddhism is also revered.

The ruling class of the Liao State, especially the upper-class nobles believe in Buddhism, and as a result, the Liao State has been softened, and the powerful Khitan who was brave and warlike in the past is too small in population, so little that the poor little Jurchen clan only has one or two thousand lack of iron armor and lack of decent weapons and war horses, but they dare to fight for their lives and rebel to kill the heads of the people, lose the house and lose the land, defeated again and again, the generals and nobles do not know how many died in the panic and hasty escape, if the arrogant and powerful country was beaten to the point of losing temper, now it has actually broken the backbone of the entire nation, and is steadily moving towards more decay, just waiting for the explosion to perish, As a result, the rulers of the Liao State envied the Han Confucian civilization, took Confucianism as the fashion, and were deeply poisoned by the pedantic combination of Confucianism and Buddhism, and unconsciously lost their blood.

This was not the case in the Western Xia Kingdom.

The religious beliefs of the Dangxiang people are as complex as those of the Liao people, but they believe in Buddhism and envy the prosperity and wealth of the Han people, but they despise Confucian culture, believing that the reason why the Han people have such a large population and such a large nationality but are so easy to bully is because they believe in Confucianism.

What benevolence, righteousness and generosity, what repays grievances with virtue, what is elegant and generous and honest, does not bully the small with the big, does not punish without teaching, does not kill innocents indiscriminately, and so on, it is all bullshit, it is ridiculous. The good place suitable for survival is so big, and there are so many good things in the world, if you don't grab it, can you use your mouth to talk about the big truth and influence it to make people happy and convinced, and bow down to you? You have many advantages such as population and economic civilization, but you don't conquer and don't rob others, isn't that stupid B?

The Western Xia was originally a rebel who split from the Song Dynasty.

They were also Song people, so they were well aware of the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty and the Achilles heel of the Han people, and highly rejected the spiritual tumor of Confucianism.

If it weren't for the Han people's Confucianism, generosity, weakness, and ridiculousness, it would be impossible for a minority like them to successfully rebel against the independent Xixia State and stand tall.

As a result, the ideology of the Dangxiang clan was not foolish, crippled, and softened by Confucianism.

There is no spiritual foundation corroded by Confucianism, although Buddhism is also worshiped in the Dangxiang clan, Buddhism is also more prosperous in the Western Xia, and the royal descendants have spent a lot of money to build royal temples, but the purpose of Buddhism's compassion has not been reflected in the Dangxiang people, and holding the Koran in one hand and holding a butcher's knife in the other, chanting Amitabha Buddha on the mouth, and the knife in the crotch and horse has never stopped slaughtering and looting. It is truly the perfect embodiment of the Buddhist spirit of compassion in safeguarding the interests and dignity of one's own people, enriching and strengthening one's own country, and cracking down on the 'evil and crooked paths' of foreign countries. This is too similar to the country of the little devils in later generations.

Faced with an opponent who believed in Buddhism but was not compassionate, the soldiers of the Western Army suffered.

As a Han person, even if he is illiterate, has not read the Four Books and Five Classics, does not know what Confucius and Mencius chanted, and unknowingly deeply influenced by Confucianism, Confucianism has been the main spirit of the Han nation and an inseparable part of civilization, the soldiers in the counterattack war to the innocent women, children, old and weak of the invaders or something can not wave the butcher's knife, forgive and even treat them kindly, and then be secretly calculated by the Lengzi, just like the self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam, the heroic did not die on the battlefield but died in the hands of the humanitarian, merciful and benevolent people, and died too unjustly.

If you suffer a lot, you will wake up.

Killing people is a profession, and you don't expect them to be really kind and benevolent, and then kill the old and weak in foreign countries.

But above them there were so-called decent Confucian generals who were educated and more influenced by Confucianism, and forbade them to wield butcher knives wantonly.

Even if the generals on the front line know that the war must not be soft, and must not have unnecessary mercy and so-called humanity, if they want to win, if they want to ensure that the lives of the soldiers are not unjustly lost, they must be killed and allowed to be killed if they are lost in the hands of the enemy, but the consequence of this is that they are criticized and scolded by the "scholars of my generation" who adhere to Confucianism and justice in the rear. In order to restrain and subdue the Western Army, the scholars and doctors used the excuse to find trouble in this regard, and bitterly criticized the indiscriminate killing of innocents, which humiliated the demeanor and image of the great power of our Celestial Empire.

Bravely killed the enemy for the country, shed blood and sacrificed, but he was not a human being inside and out.

In addition to Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, after the rise of Confucianism and Buddhism, soldiers in Chinese history lived too aggrieved and died too aggrieved.

Straight to the point.

In other words, when the Western army entered Western Xia, it would have scruples and would not dare to wave a knife and loot at the Buddha Gate at will. But the Western Xia army didn't care about all this.

It doesn't matter if you are a contemporary Confucian who is famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness, or an auspicious holy place dedicated to the Buddha, as long as it is profitable, you can still kill and rob.

It is the real benefit of the slaves of wealth to grab them, so that they can have military merits and a good life as a big official.

Otherwise, why don't you tie your head to your trousers and belt and go to war? I'm not stupid, and I'm not going to the battlefield when I'm full and have nothing to do, just looking for excitement.

As for the old and weak encountered in the war, it is useless, in order to strike at the courage of the opponent, to raise my might, and to show my fierce and terrible determination to fight, I naturally have to kill him.

War has to have a long-term perspective.

If you are afraid of the opponent, it will naturally be much easier to grab it in the future. This is especially true for Han Chinese who believe in Confucianism. Therefore, there must be mass slaughter, and all must be looted.

In this way, the Buddhism that parasitizes the territory of the Western Army is more dangerous than that of the Buddhism in the mainland.

These monks are consciously detached from the world, and they have no family and country in their hearts, and they are corrupt and deceitful, while the party and the Khitan people are difficult to provoke, in order to save the temple property and their own lives, in order to be able to live a comfortable and comfortable fairy life here, they naturally secretly flattered the invaders.

Although the poor monk is a Song person, although he lives in the Song country, my heart is towards the Buddha with boundless power, and I also respect (to) the strong you. Don't come to kill me, don't come to loot and destroy my temple. I'll be careful for you. The temple is willing to serve you religiously, spy on you and provide you with all the information you need, including the Western Army.

You can rest assured, the temple will certainly do what it says.

We have this natural convenience, come to the temple to visit the incense to wander the heart of the civil and military officials and family nobles can be many, there is always a heart to find out a lot of useful information, and as a monk to travel the world out of the customs card is very convenient, can send the news to you in a timely manner.

And wow, the world Buddhism is one, the temple communicates with the mainland counterparts of the Great Song Dynasty, and can also find out the mainland, Tokyo, and even the latest and most confidential ...... in the Imperial Palace.

This is not the poor monk's blow.

You must know that many of these peers in this temple are high monks, and high monks have a lot of dignitaries and noble friends, well, the emperor's relatives, princes, and even the emperor himself, well, you can think about it, as long as you hear a little bit of wind from these friends in the chat, the poor monk and the monk have a little letter to chat and communicate......

The court hall of the Song Kingdom is like a sieve, full of holes, scholars and scholars love to talk about state affairs with big mouths, the more people and beauties, the more they love to talk highly, and their words are not shocking and endless, showing their erudition, knowledge, patriotism, and noble feelings for the people, or proving the superiority of the profound family with secrets that others can't inquire about, how can they hide any secrets.

Finding out the confidential news of the Song Kingdom, for Buddhism, for this temple, and for poor monks, it is really not very difficult. It's a piece of cake.

Moreover, this temple (poor monk) is definitely sincere. Never dare to deceive you with false news, or even help the Western Army clean you up.

It's true.

If you don't believe me, you can call and kill me. This temple (poor monk) is afraid, how dare you play with a fierce and strong person like you with a small life.

Therefore, in the vast territory of the Western Army, there are almost no spies in temples with a little power and scale, and some simply take in Western Xia monks or spies and directly mix with Song monks to directly steal information to protect the Western Xia Kingdom, and believe that this temple is also more convenient and accurate to listen to the most needed information, and some are even senior monks who have a deep friendship with the Western Army.

Anyway, the Western Xia has robbed and plundered a lot of Han people for decades, and many of them are willing to serve the Western Xia as traitors, in order to get mixed from foreign countries and different races to the glory and wealth that cannot be mixed in the Great Song Dynasty.

It is easy to get away with sending these traitors and even Han Chinese, who are also monks or even high-ranking monks, to break into the temples of the Western Army's territory and wait for an opportunity to steal information.

At this time, although the western army generals have been corrupted after decades of border battles, many of them are generals but first politicians and then soldiers, and the western army generals as a whole have the mind of raising their own respect, and there is more and more obvious meaning of listening to the tone and not listening to the announcement, but the loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, or the loyalty to the nation, is still sincere, and the will of the emperor, at least the commander of the unified army is still willing to actively obey. The emperor's request to destroy the Buddha is not to ask them to die, it does not touch the fundamental interests of Jiangmen, but can get a lot of benefits from it. The temple is very rich. Some are even richer. No one knows this goal, so what else is not willing to actively do?

The soldiers who rely on the knife in their hands to survive are not superstitious about the Buddha, they are not afraid of the Buddha's blame, they are used to killing people, who they kill is not killing, and there is nothing that cannot be done to kill monks. Isn't it just that a bald person has less hair than a normal person? Isn't it the same chop? was already full of blood, and under the military order, he was not afraid of killing monks, and he was punished for his crimes, and he died and went to hell.

The western army encircled and suppressed the temple, but it was different from the inland army.

They also followed a careful plan, cleaned up the temple as a robber cottage, and took a surprise attack to surround and strive not to let a single person slip through the net, but they disdained the mainland army to hit the door like that and used coaxing methods to take tricks, and had the confidence to be brave and good at fighting and strengthening the army.

Unexpectedly, they were so neat and neat, but they happened to be on the spot.

The monks in the temple who had an ulterior secret suddenly heard that the army had come to the door, and they were shocked to realize that something was wrong and wanted to flee quickly, but they were directly killed by the Western army and blocked in time. At this time, some spies still wanted to continue to pretend to pass the test, but the vast majority of them realized that the army was coming here because the people were not good, and the good people were not coming.

At this point, the Western Army was shocked to discover that the Guangming Temple in the original jurisdiction was originally a murderous place for hiding filth and dirt.

A fierce battle. The Buddhist monks in the entire western region directly killed one-third of the strong to complete the encirclement, suppression, and arrest.

Moreover, there were many monks who had been trusted in advance, especially high-ranking monks, who fled.

This is undoubtedly the news that the local prefect revealed in advance, and it is not a collaboration with the enemy and treason. After a check, I learned that the local prefect had abandoned his home and absconded two, and now he is missing, but probably he will not flee to the mainland but the Western Xia Liao Kingdom, which further confirms the speculation.

The generals of the Western Army did not regard the destruction of Buddha as a serious political matter related to foreign countries, but at this time they suddenly became suspicious.

The dignified governor of the prefecture, the local tycoon, and the high authority should not have disregarded his official future for the sake of friendship with monks and temples, and even if the news was revealed out of sympathy for the compassionate monks, friendship or something, he would not have abandoned his family so neatly and fled. There must be a significant reason for this.

All the intruders who had not been able to die in battle were immediately interrogated by torture, and this question immediately shocked the Western Army generals like thunder......

It is no wonder that the strategic plan that was so carefully planned and prepared before was always implemented in vain, and even calculated by the enemy, it turned out that the root was in Buddhism, and the monks were spies.

It is a pity that so many heroic soldiers have been unjustly killed for so many years. Pity yourself for the credit that you didn't get for all your hard work.

Jiangmen was furious, and the traitorous monks and confessions were relieved of the capital's merits, and the rest of the monks, regardless of your high monks and low monks, were all included in the military camp to pay off the debts for the soldiers and the merits that were gone.

The other end.

Emperor Zhao Ji decided to destroy the Buddha and conspired to put the negative effect of this matter on Zhao Gonglian's head, which was set in the palace on the front foot, and there was a telegram on the back foot to inform Zhao Gonglian.

After Zhao Gonglian read the telegram, his face became gloomy, and he thought deeply for a long, long time.

He knew that because his younger brother was angry with Buddhism and arrogant and evil, the Tokyo spy network actively planned and successfully launched the Daxiangguoji incident.

The insidious purpose of Zhao Ji and other monarchs and ministers to escort all the monks and criminals to Cangbei is also clear with his current political wisdom and experience.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he asked Liu Wen, the chief of the spy beside him, to immediately telegraph the matter to his younger brother, who was working in the north, to hear what his younger brother thought about this matter.

Zhao Yue replied in a blink of an eye after receiving the letter.

A group of conceited and wise but greedy and lazy monks, how many of them are really willing to defend their faith to the death? How many are not afraid of death and dare to go against the army? Cangbei is in short supply of labor, and the empire is even more lacking in this kind of pure labor that only needs the lowest food and clothing. It's not a trouble, it's not a disaster, it's a good thing. After receiving it, use it according to the delusions of the imperial court first.

Zhao Laoer's reply was so short and relaxed.
