Yun Xi took a deep breath, and it took a while before he and Shang Bing began to speak.

"How is Buddhism spreading in Igo now? Are there many Mongolians and other ethnic groups in the area who believe in our Buddhists? Yun Hee asked in a relaxed tone, trying not to make Shang Byung think they were talking about serious things.

"Brother Huang, now all the people in the local area who used to believe in Lamaism have converted to our Buddhism. I bought off most of the lamas and got them into our arms, and the local Lamaist monasteries were converted into Central Plains-style monasteries. Shang Bing said lightly.

In fact, the process is not easy. Shang Bing could not use force against these lamas, and could only use 'civilized' methods against them. He also didn't know how many brain cells he had killed, how many lamas he had discredited, and how many other lamas he could not buy with money had converted to Chinese Buddhism.

"However, the local people seem to hate our Buddhism, and I didn't pay attention to it when I came to petition several times; They may think that I am not ignorant and push, and go to the temple gate to make trouble. ”

"Since I have established Buddhism as the state religion of the Qin Domain, how can I tolerate such a thing? Immediately sent troops to suppress it, killed a thousand who hung their heads outside their gathering place, and punished hundreds of men as coolies for five years. Shang Bing said.

"Brother Huang remembers this place of Yiwu, and when you took over, there were no more than 5,000 people in the Wu'er, right?" Yun Xi said.

"Less than five thousand."

"Doesn't that mean that you killed twenty percent of the local vultures at once?"

"Actually, it's more than two percent. Later, when the army entered their gathering place to quell the rebellion, some of the women and children were actually killed, and I am not in a position to hold the soldiers accountable for their indiscipline, but I will not hang up the bodies of these women and children. ”

Shang Bing said: "I can understand why the imperial grandfather was willing to let people who believed in the Heavenly Sect go to Samarkand and leave the Ming Dynasty. ”

"These Tianfang believers have to recite the sutra five times a day, and there are other things like Ramadan, and they don't eat every day after the sun rises until sunrise."

"I had to have the overseer whip them and tell them that it was okay for you to skip meals and recite scriptures, but you had to do the work, and those who didn't work were hanged on the gallows. They still end up having to eat during the day. ”

"And eating beef. Even if Iwu had a lot of cattle, it would be worth a lot of money to send them to the west of the river, and they had to eat beef. ”

"I told them that they could not eat pork, but not beef, and that those who committed suicide would be killed. After killing a few people, they were also honest. ”

"According to your method of killing, how many Vultures are there in Yiwu now?" Yun Xi smiled.

"There weren't many, and there were only about 2,000 left before I left. Many people have died, and many others have fled to Yili. It's actually strange to me that despite all the restrictions I have regarding customs, their lives in Igo are much better than in Yili. The Mongols in Yili also don't like the Vultures, and often bully them, but they usually don't care about their affairs. But they still fled to Yili, and there was really nothing to say. Shang Bing said.

Yun Xi smiled. Of course, the thinking of believers in monotheistic cults is not something that secular Han Chinese can understand.

"Except for those who had previously believed in Lamaism, it was not easy for the other Mongols to proselytize at first, after all, since these people did not believe in Lamaism, they were certainly not very easy to convert. However, in the past two years, there have been many more believers. ”

"After I discussed with Master Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple, in order to attract the Mongols to believe, the rule that alcohol and meat are not allowed in the doctrine was abolished, but marriage and children are still not allowed." Shang Bing said.

"Let you drink wine and eat meat, drink wine and eat meat, anyway, isn't Shaolin Temple allowed to drink wine and eat meat? However, wine should still be controlled, and it can cost a lot of food to make wine. Yun Xi said.

After that, Yun Xi suddenly noticed another point: "Now the head of Buddhism in Yiwu is a person from Shaolin Temple?" ”

"Yes, Shaolin Temple is very keen on missionary work in the Western Regions, and Master Fangzheng, the host of Shaolin Temple, has personally come to Yiwu, and the customs clearance document is still issued by the Ministry of Rites."

"I plan to wait for a few more years, after the influence of Lamaism has diminished in Yiwu, and let Master Fang Sheng be the presiding officer of the temple." Shang Bingdao.

Yun Xi felt a little funny. 'In this life, I have never heard of a Shaolin in the Western Regions at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. Could it be that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Master Fang Sheng wanted to create a Shaolin line in the Western Regions? But the name is wrong, it should be called Kuhui. ’

"Spread my will and give Master Fangsheng the Dharma name Bitter Wisdom." Yun Xi said suddenly.

Wang Xi didn't have any surprise at all about Yun Xi's inexplicable holy decree, and bowed down to let the people draw up the decree.

Shang Bing opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything about it, but continued: "Before I left, there were about 7,000 Mongolian believers, and more than 2,000 Tibetan Xifan believers. ”

"It's very good, it's already more than one percent of the Mongols, Xifan, Tibetans, and it's only been two years." Yun Xi said.

"Has it been effective for Yili to spread our Buddhism?" He asked again.

"Brother Huang, most of the monks have been left in Igo by me, and there are very few missionaries sent to their place. And whether it is the black fire person or Mahamu, they are very wary of our monks, and their movement is quite restricted. A few others died in their place, and it is not known whether they died of disease or were killed by them. ”

However, these Mongols were very interested in dealing with Timur, after all, they were the first to suffer when Timur came to fight. The Black Sons sent their brothers and sons to the West, to find the descendants of Jochi, so that they could fight Samarkand with us at that time. Shang Bing said.

Yun Xi listened and did not say anything. In recent years, there have also been some recent reports from the Western Regions about the Golden Horde. Timur led his troops to occupy the capital of the Golden Horde for a time, and the Golden Horde was also divided, which is estimated to have little effect.

However, the caravans sent out were very popular, and countless Mongols came to buy things. One of the most popular is the iron pot, and many Mongolians are willing to exchange a good horse for an iron pot. The blacksmiths who followed to Yiwu have all made a lot of money, and no matter how bad the blacksmith is, as long as the iron pot made does not leak on the spot, he can sell it. Of course, the Mongols can also recognize that such an iron pot is not durable, and only agree to use a pony in exchange, or an adult horse in exchange for three iron pots. Shang Bing said with a smile.

Yun Xi also smiled: "Why, the Mongolian headquarters on the desert is just that, and no one in Yili can play an iron pot?" ”
