Chapter 475: Heavenly Gods and Buddhas (2nd Watch)
On July 21, the sixth year of the reign of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, in view of the fact that the Russian governor of East Siberia, Karsakov, ignored the note of the North Manchurian government to withdraw from the occupied territory, the Qing Tuogu minister, the king of Yongyi County, the imperial name of Yong Yong, the title of the secretary of the military department, the governor of Heiji Military Affairs, the general Fuyuan, and the supreme head of North Manchuria, Guo Xing'a, officially declared war on Russia.
The British had now become Russia's eyeliner in North Manchuria, and it was impossible for Goxinga to carry out a large-scale military movement involving the entire Manchurian region in absolute secrecy, so Goxinga gave up carrying out surprise attacks. This time it was Lao Maozi who invaded the land of China, and also tortured and killed the Chinese people. Therefore, Guo Xing'a was in Aihui, Pi Runmin was in Changchun, Zou Degui was in Vladivostok, Zheng Qifeng was in Dalian, and Bo Ritu was in Kulun, and they held a grand swearing-in meeting. It is necessary not only to boost the morale of the army, but also to mobilize the common people. Not only military, government, and civilian representatives, but also people from religious circles joined in, and they were more energetic than the military.
Guoxinga has always advocated the promotion of traditional culture, so North Manchurian has always been actively developing Chinese culture. In addition to Confucianism and folk customs, religion is also indispensable in Chinese culture, and it is not good for the gods and Buddhas to leave anyone behind. China's cultural and religious ancestors are all in Guannei, but Guoxing'a is always wary of Guannai giving him yin, so when Manchuria develops itself, he pays great attention to reducing the influence of Guannai on them.
In order to reduce the influence of the Guannai, everything in Manchuria inherited the Guannai and at the same time set up a new stove of its own. The orthodoxy of Taoism is in Zhang Tianshi, Guo Xing'a can't go to Longhu Mountain to rob people, and even if he robs it, his ancestral land is in Longhu Mountain, and he can't break free from this framework. So Guo Xing'a made a little Zhang Tianshi by himself, and the miscellaneous affairs department used various means to hook up with a son of the Zhang family, and invited this young master to Manchuria. Before the Qing Dynasty and the Longhushan system objected, Guo Xing'a preemptively canonized this young master Zhang Renming as the real person in charge of the Taoist Court of North Manchuria, and called Xiao Zhang Tianshi to the outside world. The imperial court didn't take it seriously, but Zhang Tianshi, the authentic of Longhu Mountain, was not very happy, this was a naked act of digging corners. However, after Xiao Zhang Tianshi returned to his father with a heavy salute and admitted that he was a branch of the Longhushan system, Zhang Tianshi was not so opposed. Anyway, he is also his own son, and he has made his territory bigger all of a sudden, and the Zhang family will not suffer.
There are two great families in China that have been inherited for thousands of years, and Zhang Tianshi's family is not the oldest, and the most fierce is the descendants of the Confucian saints. Confucianism can be regarded as a religion if it is dug deeper, and there are the most disciples, Zeng Guofan said that everyone who reads and writes is a disciple of others. If Guo Xing'a goes to Shandong to rob the Holy Prince, it is estimated that the imperial court will have to fight with him, and it is not possible to play tricks and abduction, so he can only respectfully invite. The first few times the Confucian family disagreed, they firmly followed the imperial court, but later saw that the Zhang family went to Manchuria to develop well, and they also had the idea of activities. The Zhang family is an immortal, and the Kong family is just a descendant of a saint, and this ideological realm is still not comparable to the Zhang family, so the Kong family's family of Kong Xiangyu, the branch of the Kong family, all moved to North Manchuria. Guoxinga not only sealed the Yan Shenggong, but also built a grand Confucian temple, which is more magnificent than the Confucian temple in Qufu, of course, the background is a little worse.
On the Huangjiao side, Guoxing'a has two living Buddhas, one is the little Buddha of Zhangjia in Honganji Temple, and the other is the little Buddha of Jebu Zundamba in Hailar Kurong Temple, which can almost compete with the imperial court, but Zen Buddhism is weaker. Therefore, Zou De returned to Wutai Mountain and invited the great Zen master Qingyi to go down the mountain to North Manchuria. Qingyi Zen Master agreed very happily, as long as he could promote Buddhism, he could go anywhere, and then he took 300 disciples to live in the Beishan Zen Temple, which was not inferior to the Hongan Temple of Zhangjia Little Buddha.
The three major sects can be said to have flourished in Manchuria in recent years; they have inherited the fine tradition of the Chinese of seeking common ground while reserving differences; no one fights with anyone, and they are happily busy with their own affairs every day. This time, Guoxing's oath to send troops, they also want to participate, firstly, to prove that Guoxing'a did not invite them over in vain, and secondly, to develop more believers. The three families of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism don't have to compete, but they have to compare with their counterparts in the Guannai, otherwise how can the meaning of leaving their hometown be reflected.
Except for the little Buddha of Jebtsundamba, who had to go to Kulun to play, several other sect leaders all came to Aihui. They had to show themselves in a grand ceremony for the soldiers of the three armed forces to see, and for the people of the whole country to see through photographs and newspapers. For the three major sects, the pledge meeting is Guoxinga's business, and the advertising conference is their business.
"What's that?" Xiao Zhang Tianshi is only in his twenties, it is the time of high spirits, the two living Buddhas among the major sect leaders are still young, and Grandpa Kong and Zen Master Qingyi are both close to the age and are not confused, so I watched him perform. When Guo Xing'a led several sect leaders to visit the venue in advance, the little heavenly master suddenly pointed to something shining with golden light and asked curiously.
"I'll go, what's that?" Guo Xing'a was also startled, and at some point there was a large golden cross with a height of ten meters suddenly appeared in the venue, and Guo Xing'a almost thought that he had crossed it again.
"General, according to your instructions, a prayer area has been set up for all religions in the venue, and it is a magic weapon brought by Father Peter." Chengtai knew that this big cross must be eye-catching.
"Little Peter made such a big cross?" Goxinga's jaw is about to fall, and little Peter, who has been forgotten by him for many years, is really generous!
"Friends from the outer sect are so courageous! Guangji, you immediately send a telegram back to Jilin, and ask the temple to invite the Dharma Body of the Immovable Vajra Ming King over. "The expression of the Qingyi Zen Temple, which has been participating in meditation all the year round, is very indifferent, but the order is ruthless enough, and the twelve-meter-high King Kong Ming is the largest statue of the Beishan Temple.
"It's huge! Isn't it real gold? Xiao Zhang Tianshi didn't say anything, he was just very curious about whether this cross was pure gold.
"Hehe...... "Zhang Jia Little Buddha just kept laughing, as if he didn't care much about these things. But Guo Xing'a seems to have seen the universe in the eyes of this little Buddha again, and this time he can even see the Milky Way clearly, and the stars are shining!
"Foreigner, hum! Beyond the gold! Come on, go back to Changchun to invite the god of Dacheng's Most Holy Wenxuan Ancestor, and strengthen the courage of the soldiers who will go out on the expedition in the coming day! Grandpa Kong was very disdainful, but he really worked hard and directly invited his ancestors to the ranking. The ranking of Confucius in Changchun is not ordinary, in order to strengthen the façade, regardless of whether there is radiation or not, Guo Xing'a directly carved the ranking of Confucius Sage with a piece of meteoric iron. This rank is not only big and heavy, but also inlaid with more than 300 catties of gold and jade, which is not only beautiful but also spectacular.
Guo Xing'a didn't speak or persuade, he didn't want to cause religious disputes, as for whether the little Peter who suddenly appeared would be surrounded and suppressed by the three major religions, Guo Xing'a Ke didn't care.
