Chapter 147: The Beginning of the Tianzhu War
What to do, the lord of the exhausted country, Anoga, is anxious like an ant on a pot, going out of the city to fight, and he can't fight at all; If it was to defend the city, it would not work, the capital of Shari'a, the city of Sagor, was much stronger than his own royal city, and it took only one day for those fierce Jiankun people to take it down; That surrender is not okay, it is not okay, surrendering to himself and calling himself a lonely son is coming to an end, and this exhausted country no longer belongs to himself.
Anoga thought about it, and finally came up with an idea, that is, to abandon the city and flee, go to the city of Qunu, and ask the great king of the ring to make his own decisions, how could Anoga make such a plan This is because Anoga calculated that the king of the ring will not ignore himself, although the king of the ring is very strong, but this empire is not a centralized country, but only a loose alliance formed by force. The kingdoms of Sata, Shvara, Kanauj, Magadha, and Kajusa were under its direct control. The remaining thirty or so kingdoms each had its own monarch, army, bureaucracy and legal system. They simply succumbed to the might of the Ring King, recognized the Ring King's supremacy, and paid tribute to him.
In other words, the king of the ring is just the alliance leader and overlord of the countries of Northern Tianzhu, if Anoga goes to ask for it, the king of the ring cannot help but save it, otherwise the legitimacy and foundation of the alliance leader will be loosened. Knowing this, Anoga quickly appointed one of his cronies as the chief of the city, and he left the royal city overnight with the members of the royal family, because he was afraid that the Jiankun people would find out, he only took away some gold and silver, and other treasures, and he just ordered people to hide them, and he didn't care about anything else.
Anoga fled overnight, and did not escape the eyes and ears of the Jinyi guard, they were quickly sent to Ye Muyi, Ye Muyi immediately gave the news to Li Ran, the vanguard officer of the Southern Expedition, "This Anuoga, hehehe, is still smart, so it's okay, that Holisha is the king of the ring will definitely send troops to rescue, as long as they dare to send troops, then the matter will be easy to do" Li Ran said, "Pass my military order and march into Liluo City"
The small Liluo City is naturally not the opponent of the Jiankun people, no matter how hard the stone wall is, it can't resist the bombardment of black powder, Li Ran is very successful in entering the Liluo City, before coming to the southern expedition, Li Lu has an explanation, be sure to find the Buddha's parietal bone relics and several other Buddha treasures, and bring them back to the broken leaves. After Li Ran entered the city, he began to dig three feet into the ground, and after torturing the monks of the N Futu Temple, Li Ran finally knew the treasure land, what if there was a seal, in front of gunpowder, all seals were scum.
"You, you devils, the Buddha will punish you" Seeing that the invaders took away the Buddha treasure, the monks of Futu Temple were like their dead fathers and mothers, grieving, but in the face of these robbers, the monks could also curse, and if they wanted to resist, the corpses of those warrior monks were not far away, and the blood had not dried up.
Li Ran didn't think much of the curse of the monks, he stepped forward to take a look, and found that it was just a skull, not as effective as the legend at all, "Sure enough, what the king said is right, these legends are made up by these monks As for being able to see illusions, it means that they have been poisoned."
Li Ran's words reached the ears of a Tianzhu monk who could understand Chinese, and he shook his head and said, "You are talking nonsense, you are not a believer in Buddhism, of course the Buddha Treasure ignores you, the demon king who is destined to go to hell."
"Oh, you say I'm the Demon King, okay, then I'll show you the Demon King" Li Ran looked at the monk, "From today on, Liluo City will be managed by our Jiankun, from now on, all those who believe in Buddhism will be entered into the Jiàn) register, and at the same time pay ten times the poll tax, you monks are all put into the slave labor camp to give you a stick of incense, it's not too late to repent."
When the monks heard Li Ran's words, they were stunned, this is the root of the Buddha that has exhausted the country, "Amitabha, Amitabha" All the monks can do is to keep chanting the Buddha's name, praying for their Buddha to come out of the sea of suffering, but no matter how they prayed, the Buddha did not respond, and when the sergeants took off their monk's robes with swords and guns, and went to the slave camp to report, finally someone couldn't stand it, "General, General, I am willing to repent."
Li Ran looked at the monk who was willing to repent, "Are you willing to leave the Buddha Gate?"
"Willing, willing, as long as you don't put me in another book, Lord General" The Tianzhu monk nodded again and again, although Li Ran looked down on this product from the bottom of his heart, but the enemy's traitor was his own lackey, and now was the time to use it, he smiled and said, "Okay, you are free"
Soon after this monk came out, many monks who were not so firm in their beliefs shouted that they did not believe in Buddhism, which made the old monks of Futu Temple very angry, "You rebels and betray the Buddha, you are not afraid of going to hell in the future"
"In the future, if you go to hell, it will be better than becoming a slave now, and life is better than death," said the first guy.
"Where is there any A-nose Hell, besides, they will not be people of Buddhism in the future, and A-nose Hell can't control them" Li Ran said unhappily, he looked at a few old monks, "You intimidate others to hell all day long, I will send you to hell today" Originally, Li Ran wanted to send them to a slave labor camp, but now he wanted to stand up and change his mind.
An old monk said, "General, if you want us to die, it's okay, we ask to sit down if there are relics left, it's good to leave a trace of blood for Buddhism."
"Where is there so much nonsense" Li Ran said, "We don't recognize this thing of relics, give you one last chance, do you want to die or live"
"Demon King Wow, Demon King, you can't die well" Several old monks were desperate when they heard this, and as soon as one of them said that it was not good to die, they saw Li Ran wave his hand, and several old monks were taken aside, and with a few clicks, several monks fell to the ground and went to see their Buddha
When Li Ran killed people and established power, Anuojia, who fled for his life, learned that his Liluo City had fallen into the hands of the Jiankun people, and after those few Buddha treasures were found and snatched away, he cried nonstop, and under the persuasion of his courtiers, he cheered up and continued to rush to Qunu City, he wanted to ring the king to avenge him, as long as he could drive away these Shura devils and recapture the Buddha treasure, he was willing to pay a big price.
At this time, the Ring King had just taken over the prosperous seaport kingdom of Gongyutuo, and his empire had reached the height of his rule. By now he had all of the Ganges Valley, with his sphere of influence stretching from the Brahmaputra River in the east, the Indus River in the west, the Himalayas in the north, and the Nabada River in the south. Reach the whole of North India except Gujarat and West Punjab, and be the proper king of Northern Tianzhu.
The establishment of the hegemony of the king of the ring, officially marked that Tianzhu entered the era of feudal society, hehe, a thousand years later than our Huaxia, under the rule of the king of the ring, the king is the highest owner of the land in the country, not only directly occupies most of the land, but also gives the temples, officials, princes and nobles a lot of land as a miner. The feudal land was divided into two categories: one was the tax-exempt Jiaotian or "Futian", which was the fiefdom land permanently given by the king of the ring to high-ranking Brahmins, Buddhist monks, Brahmanical temples, and Buddhist monasteries. The other type is the office or land that is given to the secular high-ranking bureaucrats and nobles as remuneration for their services or land. The enfranchised village communities became the private domains of the new feudal lords, and the free peasants, which were originally under the direct jurisdiction and control of the state, were reduced to dependent peasants who paid rents and taxes to the feudal lords.
The king's large number of feudal and re-feudal lands weakened the royal power, making the feudal lords under his rule very centrifugal force, so even if the king was very strong, he did not establish a centralized system until his death. In order to be able to rule, his empire established a hierarchical bureaucracy that was "very criminal". The central government is ruled by the Council of Ministers with the assistance of the King of Rings, and the local governments are administered by feudal lords, which are still under the direct jurisdiction of the King of the Rings, and for those vassal states like Anoga, the orders of the King of the Rings are not necessarily easy to enforce.
Although the king was known for his "civil rule and benevolent government", the criminal law was much harsher than that of the previous Gupta dynasty, and during his reign, Tianzhu's cruel punishments for prisoners remained, including the punishment of amputating limbs and starving people to death.
In order to better strengthen his rule, he embraced Brahmin and also supported Mahayana Buddhism, and supported the religious activities of monk Xuanzang in Tianzhu. He has held five five-year Buddhist "Uncovered Assemblies." He adopted a religious policy of Buddhism and Brahmanism. It should be pointed out that the dominant religion in Tianzhu is Brahmanism, which is later Hinduism, and the power of Buddhism has long been much less than before, or it still needs the support of the king of the precepts
At this time, the Ring Empire was in its heyday, so when Anoga came to Qunu City to cry to the King of Ring about the atrocities of the Jiankun people, as the co-owner of the Tianzhu people, the King of the Ring was furious, "The Jiankun people are really too much" The King of Ring once sent envoys to Chang'an, but they were all intercepted by Li Lu, and his envoys also brought him back, Li Lu Bi) The news of the monk Xuanzang was crazy, which made the King of Ring very dissatisfied, you must know that although he believed in Brahmin, but his sister Princess Raji Shuli was a devout Buddhist believer, influenced by his sister, the king of the precepts is very preferential to Buddhism.
The king of the ring has long been dissatisfied with this Jiankun in the north, and now that the Jiankun people have taken the initiative to invade the south, as the co-owner of the Northern Tianzhu, he naturally can't sit idly by.
"Don't let the horseshoe of the Jiankun people cross the Xindu River, if then their cavalry will rush directly to the city of Qunu" As a king who can conquer and fight, he quickly came up with an idea, that is, to take the initiative to send troops to drive the Jiankun people back to the north of the Kaibol Pass to stop their southern invasion.
