Chapter 894: It's time to start preparing public opinion for the next big war
After discussing the matter, they said something else, and Yun Xi gave him some important personal feelings, and let Zhu Zanyi retreat.
Later, Yunxi summoned Li Jian again, and asked about the situation these days, especially the slaughter of the Semu people a few days ago, and when he heard Ma Xing ask before he died, "Why don't you give them a way to live", he sneered: "When the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, they were second-class people, third-class Han people in the north, and fourth-class Han people in the south. ”
"To tell the truth, although the Mongols were first-class people, they did not suffer much from them. How many Mongols are there? Most of them are near Beiping, and they can't be seen in the south. On the contrary, it is these lustful people, pretending to be officials, oppressing the people, who doesn't hate them and gritting their teeth? I looked at the files left by the Mongols, and found that there must have been hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese killed by them, and I could only compensate for them by slaughtering them all. It's not enough to kill that now. ”
Li Jian never understood why Yun Xi was so unkind to the Semu people. It stands to reason that when you become an emperor, everyone in the world is a subject, and the people of Semu are not untaxed, so why target them like this. But of course, he didn't ask the question, and bowed to listen.
Yun Xi took the initiative to say: "If you want to say that I am not an intolerant emperor, but the people of Semu absolutely cannot tolerate it. As long as they don't let go of the religion they originally believed. ”
"You don't know the difference between Cruciform and Tianfang and Buddhism and Taoism, right? I tell you that the Cross Religion and the Heavenly Sect are monotheistic religions, and what is monotheism means that there is only one immortal in the entire religion, and all those who believe in this religion believe in this one immortal. ”
He saw that Li Jian still didn't understand, so he could only continue: "This means that in the hearts of those who believe in these immortals, immortals are supreme, and even the emperor can't compare." And the people who believe in this god are very united with each other, and exclude those who do not believe in this god. ”
Li Jian understood at this time. This is equivalent to having two days in the sky, and the country has two masters, not the kind of two masters when the world is in turmoil, but the two masters in your country, which is unacceptable to anyone who is the emperor.
"I have heard that in the West, when the number of people in a country who follow these two religions reaches three or four percent of the country, they will force the king to also believe in religion, or they will rebel and elect a religious person as the king. Now they are just few people in the Ming Dynasty, because at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Han volunteers from all walks of life had slaughtered them several times, so they were honest, but if they were allowed to continue, it would be difficult to say. You say, I can tolerate them? ”
Moreover, these two religions not only discriminate against non-believers, but are bound to kill or force conversions. You also know about the public trial in Guangzhou a few days ago, and I specially compiled the entire content into a booklet and sent it to you. This is the case with the people of Samarkand. ”
"Also, many of the inhumane practices of these two religions are in Fulak ,......, in heaven,......。 You say, how can I tolerate them. ”
"Your Majesty." Li Jian said immediately.
Yun Xi took out a pamphlet from his side, handed it to him, and said, "This is a pamphlet that I have people compile, after you retire, send someone to the ship to collect it, three copies for each guard, one for each thousand households, distribute it, and read it to the soldiers every day by someone who knows how to read the words such as a military doctor or a governor." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jian took the booklet, and when he saw that Yun Xi had nothing to say, he bowed down and retreated.
Yun Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Of course, he was not idle and had nothing to say these things to Li Jian. Basically, it is already certain that next year Samarkand will invade the Ming Dynasty as it has done in history, and of course he will send a large army from the Central Plains to meet it, and now, it is time to build momentum for this battle.
It is the norm to smear the opponent before the war, so that the soldiers, officials and civilians under his command are very resentful of the enemy, and it will be done in both ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. And it turns out that this still has some effect. Many peasant rebels or rebels were resisted by ordinary people, even those who had no overnight food, when they first went to other places, thanks to the propaganda of the government and the gentry.
Besides, Yun Xi can say with a clear conscience that what he said is the truth, and these two sects have really done those things.
In the dark Middle Ages, the Furak people were much darker than in the East; The church under the system is far more corrupt and dark than the government under the feudal dictatorship.
Under the system, the church not only controls the body of the common people, but also controls the hearts of the common people, and tries to fool them, making them think that all the sufferings of life will be changed after death; No matter how foolish the people are, the government in the East cannot reach this level. The life of the Furak people in the Middle Ages has been miserable to the extreme, and no one has revolted, but there are still revolts in the Roman Empire; And every time the dynasty decays in the East, some people shout 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning', so as to rise up, overthrow the tyranny, and let the common people have a peaceful life of one or two hundred years.
When I returned to Beijing, I ordered that all the guards in the world should have several copies of these pamphlets, and that they should be propagated among the officials, so that everyone would be united in their hatred of Timur. It is also necessary to step up propaganda among the people, so that they can write more operas aimed at the Semu people. Yes, you can do it. ’
Yun Xi immediately took out a piece of rice paper and wrote a few words, and said to Wang Xi: "You send this piece of paper to Hu Yan and let him draw up the will." At the same time, I sent an edict back to Beijing to the celebrant eunuch, so that the Jingchang of the inner palace would immediately start printing the "History of the Yuan", at least 10,000 copies; Since this year, the study of the "History of the Yuan" has become a compulsory course in Guozijian and Jiangwutang, and it is the most important course, which I will check when I return to Beijing. ”
"Yes, official. But official, in the end, it's better for you to draw up a will. Wang Xi said.
"Then I will make a will." Yun Xi immediately wrote another piece of paper and handed it to him, still instructing: "Let Hu Yan draw up the will." ”
Wang Xi took the rice paper and was ordered to retreat.
Yun Xi thought of something again, and said to himself: "This year's exam, it seems that you can also make a fuss." Anyway, I haven't decided on a topic for this year's policy. ”
Yun Xi muttered for a while, thought of two topics, and wrote them on paper for personal collection; I was afraid that I would forget, so I copied another copy and asked the little eunuch to seal it, and ordered him to send it to the ship, and send it back to the capital in an expedited manner for six hundred miles, and hand it over to the queen. Xiyao has always been cautious, and she shouldn't open it to see it when she doesn't know what's inside.
After ordering all this, Yun Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There is only so much I can do. ”
