Jin Liang knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to practice cavalry tactics as strong as the Mongolian cavalry in Jizhou and Bingzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info had to go to the Saiwai Prairie, so he decided to send troops frequently to harass the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai. This does not contradict his original truce, as long as he puts the battlefield on the enemy's territory and does not cause damage to the grain production of his own territory.

Jin Liang left 40,000 cavalry to defend important city passes. The remaining 160,000 cavalry, eighty percent of which are cavalry, first trained in the Hetao grassland in the Seine, while training and fighting, sweeping away those unruly Qianghu tribes, although the 160,000 cavalry are all soldiers, but after all, they are 160,000, under the command of Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun and other excellent cavalry generals. Sweeping the western part of the Hetao grassland, the little Qiang kings of the Qiang tribes who dared to resist were exterminated, and those ordinary Qiang people were forcibly sinicized, and some Qiang tribes who saw the situation were not good had to flee to Wuwei County to ask Ma Teng, a mixed-race Qiang and Han child, to take them in, Jin Liang had no intention of seizing the desolate Liangzhou for the time being, and only asked Liu Wei to send a sternly worded edict to Ma Teng to finish the matter. Tens of thousands of cavalry were repeatedly dispatched to raid the Hu tribes there in the name of military training exercises, and revenge for the Wuhu rebellion in advance.

Jin Liang's shortcomings are very obvious, and he has no forgiveness for the people and nations who have hurt himself and the nation he came from. He was only full of revenge.

Although he is a brother to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, there are only a few elements that admire them as heroes, and most of them are used to fight against Liu Dai in Yanzhou, Liu Biao in Yuzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao in Jingzhou.

Before sending troops this time, he combed through the relevant historical materials of Wuhu Chaohua in his memory, and wanted to know from them the Hu tribe that he wanted to eliminate in the late Eastern Han Dynasty that had a fatal hidden danger to the Han Dynasty.

The five Hu chaos, for the Han nation, can be regarded as a dark period in history, even more than the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs, the barbaric Hu people caused great damage to the Chinese civilization, the Chinese civilization and China are at a historical juncture of life and death, fortunately there is a national hero Ran Min Tuhu saved China.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Qin, Yong, and the three states of the land has been inhabited by the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, the Qiang and Zahu live in the north of Jingshui and the lower reaches of Weishui, the Di people live on both sides of the upper reaches of Weishui and the south bank of the downstream, the Xiongnu people live in the upper reaches of Fenshui, and the Xiongnu people live in the upper reaches of the Shuzhang River. After the rebellion of the eight kings during the period of Emperor Hui of Jin, the Jin family was divided, the national strength was empty, the people's livelihood withered, the military strength of the Jin Dynasty declined rapidly, coupled with the weakness of the rulers of the Jin Dynasty for the Hu people in the ruling area at that time, the Hu people took the opportunity to raise troops and invade the Central Plains, so the Central Plains was in chaos, and in more than a hundred years, dozens of regimes of different sizes were established by the Hu people and the Chinese, known in history as "Five Hu Chaohua", and because Cui Hong, a historian in the last years of Xianbei Wei, wrote the book "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms", which recorded the representative sixteen regimes, Therefore, this period is called the "Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms", that is, the Cheng and Han established in the Yongxing year of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the former Zhao, Later Zhao, Qianliang, Qianyan, Qianqin, Houqin, Houyan, Xiqin, Houliang, Beiliang, Nanliang, Nanyan, Xiliang, Xia, and Beiyan, and the five main tribes in the Central Plains, namely Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Di, and Qiang, are known as Wuhu in history.

The Huns, the Southern Xiongnu who moved to the Central Plains established the former Zhao, Beiliang and Xia countries in the Central Plains during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the Huns who would continue to be the disaster of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years for the Qin and Han dynasties finally ended in the hands of Jin Liang, more than one million Huns were forcibly confiscated weapons, war horses, and from then on they could only graze cattle and sheep, and could only be converted to Han farming, they were forcibly eliminated all Xiongnu customs, and all customs were taken from the Han style, taking Han names, speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, wearing Han clothes, and following all the habits of the Han people, decades later, The Xiongnu will be completely eliminated from the stage of history, because the close descendants of the Huns are Mongols, and all the Mongols who endangered the Song and Ming dynasties will also disappear from the stage of history.

The Qianren, this race is a great threat to the Han people, the Qianren Shile first took refuge in the former Zhao established by the Huns, and then the dove occupied the magpie's nest and established the Later Zhao, he implemented the "Hu and Han divisions", forbade the word "Hu", called the Chinese people, called the Han people Han, and connived at the oppression of foreign races by the Qianren people, and the Han people, especially his nephew Shihu, carried out a systematic massacre of the Han people, so that the population of the Han people in the Central Plains dropped from about 12 million to about 4 million.

Shi Hufa men and women 160,000, transported soil to build Hualin Garden and the long wall in Xiangyang, when the rainstorm occurred, the water rose, and tens of thousands of people died; He already has many palaces, and he is not satisfied, and he drove more than 400,000 camps of Han Ding to Luoyang and Chang'an Second Palace, causing corpses to accumulate in the field; 500,000 people built armor, 170,000 people built ships, and more than two-thirds of them died; snatched 50,000 Han women into the harem to wantonly pervert and kill and humiliate, during which due to the resistance of the wife and husband, countless people died; From Chang'an to Luoyang and then to Xiangyang, the envoys of the Cheng Han Dynasty saw that the trees along the way were full of people who had hanged themselves, the city walls were full of Han heads, and the bones were made into "corpse views" to intimidate the world, and the corpses of tens of thousands of rebellious soldiers were abandoned in the wilderness to feed the beasts; The population has been greatly reduced, the land has been largely barren, and wild beasts such as tigers and wolves have appeared in groups to breed. Shi Hu designated tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in the Central Plains south of Handan as his hunting enclosure, stipulating that the Han people were not allowed to throw a stone at the beast, otherwise they would be "guilty of beasts" and would be punished with death, and countless people would be killed or eaten by wild beasts, and the status of the Han people was even inferior to that of wild beasts.

On the eve of Ran Min's accession to the throne, Ran Min issued an order to kill Hu, which basically eliminated the main force of the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu and saved the Han people. After Ran Min launched the massacre of Hu, Han people in various parts of the north responded and wiped out a large number of Hu people, forcing other Hu people to leave the Central Plains. During the civil strife in the Zhao Dynasty, the Ran family army beheaded 30,000 soldiers of the Qiang nationality and killed 40,000 soldiers, and the Qiang people in the south of Shanxi were also killed by the Han people who took revenge.

Only a tribe of less than 10,000 people went north to the Xianbei people. Later, the Xianbei people helped them take revenge and kill Ran Min and destroy Ran Wei. After Xianbei entered the Central Plains, this branch of the Xianbei people has been fighting wars as a profession under the rule of Xianbei. However, the honeymoon relationship didn't last long, and during the Xianbei Civil War, he perverted and killed the Xianbei people, almost exterminating the entire Xianbei clan. Later, under the vengeful blows of the Xianbei people, the remnants of this tribe ran to the southern Liang Dynasty under the leadership of Hou Jing, and were accepted by the kind-hearted Liang Dynasty and provided them with food. Under the leadership of Hou Jing, the Hu tribe of less than 10,000 people carried out a bloody genocidal policy against the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River, turning the Jiangnan with a large population of thousands of miles into a barren land with thousands of miles of red land, white bones everywhere and wild beasts, and only Tu Jiankang City killed about 200,000 people in 40,000 households in the city, which is the famous Hou Jing Rebellion in Chinese history! It wasn't until Chen Ba, the general of the Southern Liang, led the Liangguang army in the Pearl River Valley to the north to attack the south of the Yangtze River, and spent a lot of money to destroy this demon clan of less than 10,000 people, and this race really disappeared from the earth.

Murong Xianbei is far away in Liaodong, with Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du, and Liu Yu in between, and Murong Xianbei cannot eliminate Murong Xianbei for the time being, and the Xiongnu people were originally attached to the Xiongnu and lived in Shangdang County and Hexi County.

Although Jin Liang hated it, he did not immediately order that all the Liang people be killed, but passed the order, only the beautiful Qian women are eligible to be sinicized, and all the Liang men and all the ugly Qi women are not eligible to be Sinicized, they must build cities and build roads for the Han people, there is no little wages, and the daily food supply is only half full, if there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot, and these Liang people can not marry, Jin Liang is ready to completely exterminate these fierce and evil people who eat human flesh within 20 years, and will not let them be killed painfully, It's about dying of exhaustion.

The Xiongnu people were originally an unruly and murderous race, they were originally attached to the Xiongnu, but they were the tribes of the Huns who were easy to kill, enough to fight against the powerful Xianbei people outside, but they are now few people, so they have not yet shown their ability, but once they can not stand the oppression of the Jinliang Central Army on them, and begin to resist, they will break out of their destructiveness, more than 100,000 Xiongnu riots, more than 200,000 Huns respond, and the Hetao area is suddenly unstable.

More than 40,000 Xiongnu men could not bear the heavy labor day after day, and instigated the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu men who built roads and cities with them to riot together, but because their sabers, bows and arrows, and war horses were confiscated by the central army before this, they were unarmed except for the tools for building roads and cities, and they could only rise from the poles.

These people originally thought very well, kill the Han people, seize their weapons, and restore the rule of the Hu people in Hetao, but how could such a simple-minded and not yet appear a demon like Shi Le could have imagined that this riot was already under the supervision of Jin Liang.

Jin Liang has always been wary of these unruly and anti-rebellious Hu people, in addition to those heavily armed and horseback officers who supervised the work next to them, there are also some pro-Han Huns who were absorbed by the Military Intelligence Bureau and infiltrated inside.

On this day, it is the day of the Qi people to worship Hu Tian, and this day coincides with the full moon of Jin Liang's eldest son Jin Qi, all the central army has a day off to congratulate the lord, those who were originally fully armed, carrying guns and prancing horses and staring at these Hu people's central cavalry returned to the camp to celebrate, and those who stayed on the construction site of the city and road to continue to supervise the work were those Sinicized Xiongnu county soldiers.

After silently worshipping Hu Tian, under the shouting of Shi Xu, the head of a Qiang tribe dressed as a commoner of the Qiang people, more than 40,000 Xiongnu men and more than 100,000 Xiongnu men lifted their shovels, hammers, and wooden sticks to kill the Xiongnu county soldiers who were desperately following the Han people.

The killing had just begun, and the soldiers of the Sinicized Xiongnu counties were still resisting stubbornly. A large force of cavalry poured out from behind the jungle near the five cities and the straight road, and Shi Huang, the leader of the Qiang people, shouted bitterly: "It's not good, I've fallen for the tricks of the Han people!" ”

160,000 central cavalry swept in. They either held a crossbow of a divine horse, or a bow of a divine arm, and their arrows rained down. Shooting at those Qianren and Huns who were holding shovels, hammers, and wooden sticks, one by one the feathered arrows were like meteors, and they quickly fell on those unclothed Hu people.

Compared with these people and Huns who were poorly clothed and hungry and had no decent weapons in their hands, the cavalry of the Central Army all rode on Xianbei horses, with spears on their saddles, sabers straddling their waists, and strong bows and crossbows in their hands. The attack was unprepared to surround the Hu people who were sitting and restoring the dream of restoring the ranch of the Hetao, and fired arrows in unison.

A small number of Qiang and Xiongnu were unfortunately shot in the vital point and died on the spot, and most of the Qiang and Xiongnu were stuck with arrows and fainted on the ground, because the arrows of the 160,000 cavalry of the Central Army were soaked in anesthetic, and these Qiang and Xiongnu were hit by arrows. Soon feeling paralyzed and unable to move, the central sergeant rushed forward, subdued them, and then tied strong cowhide ropes around their ankles. The seditious Qiang and Xiongnu nobles were all shackled with iron. The hundreds of initiators were stripped of their skins and hearts, and it was rumored among these Xiongnu and Huns that these Hu people who were afraid of power but not virtue were suddenly frightened.

In the days that followed, the most unruly one out of every 1,000 Hu people was selected and killed every day to set an example, and the 100 people who performed very poorly out of this 1,000 people had no food to eat, while the 100 people who were the most docile and hardworking among the 1,000 Hu people could have enough to eat.

At this moment, there is a monk in a robe, bareheaded, and in every thousand Hu people, they give them lectures in nonsense, and preach Buddhist ideas such as "karma and the cycle of life and death" to them, so that they can believe that the things they are facing now are the result of evil in their previous lives, and as long as they are content with the status quo and are willing to bear it, they will be able to come to the extreme.

These Xiongnu and Xiongnu people were forced to work all day long by the supervisors of the Central Army and the Sinicized Xiongnu supervisors every day, and they were tired, and in the only rest time, those monks preached and discussed the scriptures day after day, brainwashed them, and finally succeeded in domesticating them into believers of the Buddha.

Of course, this is Jin Liang's instructions, he knows that people's mental strength is also the most fragile in the most tired stage of the body, and they are the most easily brainwashed, so he sent those monks who are good at brainwashing to brainwash these Hu people, so that they can build roads and build cities for the Han people with all their hearts, instead of killing them cheaply, which is the great mercy of the Buddha.

Jin Liang used Buddhism to tame these unruly Hu people, and it was inspired by the historical leader of the Karma people, Shi Leli Buddha.

The Wuhu Rebellion period was the darkest and bloodiest period of disaster in the history of Chinese civilization. The large-scale internal migration of Zahu, accompanied by the butcher's knife and iron horse wielding at the Han people, the establishment and change of dozens of foreign regimes, each time accompanied by racial vendettas, and the large-scale bloodbath of the Han people, so that the clothes crossed to the south, and the Han people in the Central Plains were on the verge of extinction. Wars, heavy conscription, military service, and rare famine disasters have left countless Han people struggling on the death line, sleeping at night without knowing if they will be able to eat tomorrow's breakfast. At this time, Buddhism, which advocates the reincarnation of karma, came in handy, and the doctrine of the cycle of cause and effect was in line with the fact that people were suffering in this life and looking forward to the life experience of the next life, and the purification of sentient beings and compassion provided a harbor of sustenance for the suffering people.

Zahu entered the Central Plains and quickly achieved political dominance, establishing political power one after another, but in the vast northern areas they occupied, the Han people still accounted for the majority, and these Zahu emperors suffered from the strong sense of resistance of the Han people, so they urgently needed an ideological tool of their own to rule the Han people. As a Hu sect from the west, then Buddhism is obviously the most suitable, it can fully cater to the mentality of the Hu people entering the Central Plains, and preaching Buddhism can make the Han people stupidly feel that they can discuss the Dharma in the next life, and no longer be entangled in the gains and losses in this life, which is conducive to their rule, so Buddhism has become a tool for the foreign Hu people to enslave and suppress the Han people's thoughts.

Although Buddhism entered China in the Han Dynasty, the conflict with China's native culture was too serious, and it was completely different from the view of Confucianism and Taoism, so until the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han regime had a ban on Han people not to become monks, and only allowed "people from the Western Regions to build temples and capitals to worship them", that is, it was only popular among the Hu people in the Western Regions of China, and the Han people were not allowed to believe in Buddhism, so there was no market in the Han people, and the influence was minimal. In order to eliminate the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and break their confidence in resisting brutal rule, the Wuhu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty promoted Buddhism, such as the Later Zhao established by the Qiang people, the Later Qin established by the Qiang people, the Houliang established by the Di people, the Northern Liang established by the Huns, and most of the Xianbei emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty vigorously promoted Buddhism, which is precisely for this reason.

In particular, after Zhao Shi, which was established by Shi Le, the leader of the Qiang people, broke the taboo of the Han people to become monks, and the Han people served the Buddha and worshiped the Buddha. Buddhism preaches karma, the cycle of life and death, and turning evil into good. There is the past, the present, and the future, and there are three lifetimes, and the knowledge of God is always immortal. All good and evil must be rewarded, "make the Han people believe that the various things they face are reasonable, normal, and the result of cultivating blessings or doing evil in previous lives, and they can only be content with the status quo and be willing to bear it, especially the northern Buddhism focuses on preaching self-discipline and abstinence, which greatly paralyzes the will of the Han people to fight and weakens the bloody nature of the Han people.

It was only under the vigorous support of the Wuhu regime that Buddhism began to gain a foothold in China and quickly spread among the Han people, resulting in a large number of Han Chinese converting to Buddhism, so that many Han rulers in later generations gradually accepted Buddhism, thus becoming a spiritual shackle to enslave the Chinese nation.

Jin Liang asked people to invite Pujing, a monk from the Zhenguo Temple in Hugaoguan, and asked Pujing to invite all the monks from the Central Plains and all the temples north of the Yellow River to come to Shuozhou to preach and recite the Dharma for those who were punished with hard labor.

That Pujing is in the process of Guan Yu passing five levels and killing six generals, the monk who reminded him to be careful of Bian Xi met in Bishui Pass, this Pujing later traveled the world, came to Ganquan Mountain, where the grass was a nunnery, and witnessed the manifestation of Guan Yu.

Of course, Guan Yu passed five passes and cut six generals, and Ganquan Mountain was the irrigation of Luo Guanzhong, which is nonsense, but that Pujing really exists, and that Zhenguo Temple does exist, but Luo Guanshui, who does not understand geography, wrote the same pass as the Tiger Prison Pass and the Bishui Pass with different names in different history, and there was only the Tiger Prison Pass in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Pujing was the Pujing of the Tiger Prison Pass Zhenguo Temple.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a ban that Han people were not allowed to become monks, obviously Pujing was not a Han person, but a Sinicized Yueshi person, and Pujing invited monks from other places, and there were no Han people, all of whom were Tianzhu and other countries in the Western Regions who came to Middle-earth to spread Buddhism hard, and they were the predecessors of Bodhidharma.

Jin Liang didn't bother to meet these bald donkeys, but in order to encourage them to fool those Hu people, Jin Liang still resisted the disgust in his heart, received them with great courtesy, gave them a lot of gold and silver, and pointed out that the reason why their Buddhism has been resisted by the Han people is because they are a religion from Tianzhu, which is the religion of the Hu people, and if they can't let the Hu people believe in it, they can't convince the Han people.

Pujing these bald donkeys suddenly realized that they decided to work hard to preach and chant Buddha to those Qian, Xianbei, and Xiongnu who were forcibly enslaved by the Central Army.

The core concept of Buddhism is abstinence, and it is a religion that seriously lacks the spirit of resistance and enterprising, and the Hu people who are brainwashed by such religious ideas will lose their ambition to covet the world of Han flowers in their roots, like the reason why the Tubo people, who repeatedly fought the Tang Dynasty and ran rampant on the plateau, could not pose a threat to the Han people after the Tang Dynasty, was because Princess Wencheng brought them Buddha, and the reason why the Mongolian golden family that was rampant in Eurasia withered and even became a vassal of the Manchus. It is because they began to believe in Buddhism, and in the future, any country and region where the whole people believe in Buddhism will have no hope for development, because those people have lost their enterprising spirit, and some men in Thailand who believe in Buddhism have even lost the minimum enterprising spirit of men for women, which is not surprising at all, anyway, for monks, that thing is useless for a long time.

Jin Liang looked at the glittering heads of these bald donkeys in the distance, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "Those Hu people who refuse to be sinicized, the moment the bald donkey opens its mouth, you are starting to finish." ”

Jin Liang sent Pujing and some other monks to those who were not qualified to be sinicized and could only build roads and cities for the Han people, the Xiongnu, and the Xianbei people to preach Buddhism, half a year later, the more than 400,000 Hu people who were originally unruly and always thought of rebellion all believed in Buddhism, and they all felt that the suffering they were suffering now was the punishment they should receive for the evil they had done in their previous lives, and they were willing to build roads and cities, doing all the heavy labor that the Han people were unwilling to do.

Those Hu people who believed in Buddhism were very peaceful, and their submissive temperament made Jin Liang very happy, and at the same time, he was extremely vigilant, warning Pujing and other monks not to preach Buddhism to the Han people.

Jin Liang issued a secret order, all monks who recited Buddhism to the Han people were to be executed, and all Han people who believed in Buddhism were denounced as Hu people, Jin Liang believed that those Han people who believed in the Tianzhu Hu sect had betrayed the fundamental ancestor worship beliefs of the Han people, belonged to the number of classics and forgot their ancestors, and should be canceled from the Han nationality.

In the days that followed, Pujing and other monks not only continued to preach Buddhism to the Hu people, but also developed monks among the Hu people, and continued to preach Buddhism to those Hu people who refused to be sinicized or were not qualified to be sinicized. Let them break through the shackles of Buddhism that has been unable to develop in the East.

Although Pujing and other monks helped Jin Liang to make great contributions in fooling the Hu people, Jin Liang only gave them some gold and silver rewards. Only set up small monk temples for them in those Hu gathering areas, never allocate them monk fields, and never build famous temples for them in those famous mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery. He would never let them raise monks and soldiers, because Jin Liang knew the harm caused by the uncontrolled development of Buddhism during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history.

During the period of great turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Zahu regime lifted the ban on the Han regime. Forcing the Han people to believe in Buddhism, using Buddhism to ideologically capture Chinese people as Buddha slaves, life, etiquette, and thinking are completely assimilated with the Tianzhu Buddhas, and they even call themselves Buddhas, do not recognize themselves as Chinese, and the monasteries expand unbridledly, not only with their own armed monks, but also with their own vast monk fields. There are their own rulers and the ruled, not bound by the laws of the state, a temple is equal to a ** or a half** Buddha country or Buddhist temple, many of the people who originally belonged to the country, in order to avoid harsh labor and heavy taxes, have been put into the empty door, in addition to the intensification of social and political turmoil. As a result, there are as many as 30,000 Buddhist monasteries and 2 million monks and nuns, accounting for about one-tenth of the country's population. A large amount of social wealth was wasted, and land was wantonly annexed and plundered, occupying a large amount of fertile land.

Jin Liang knew that after the failure of the Zhangjiao Taiping Dao riot, Taoism was strongly suppressed by the government, which was also a major motivation for the prosperity of Buddhism.

Before that, Jin Liang had done many pioneering things that transcended the times, such as army establishment, military rank system, and strict military discipline, and asked people at all levels to join the army every day to give lectures to officers and soldiers at all levels, and to give frequent ideological guidance, but Jin Liang was still uneasy in his heart, because he found that compared with the army that was not afraid of difficulties and sacrifices and had the world's first will to fight, the Central Army under his command was still far behind.

What is the gap between the Central Army, an army in the era of cold weapons, and the modern army?

The difference in weapons and equipment is only an external performance, and discipline is actually only an external performance, relying on Jin Liang's own words and deeds, and leading by example, can only be managed for a while, and when recruiting more troops in the future, when fighting farther away, what can discipline rely on to guarantee? It is far from enough to rely on external propaganda and punishment, and the source of military discipline should be mainly internal, supplemented by external. What's inside? It's faith.

An army without faith, without a goal for which it can die desperately, the discipline that is maintained for a moment and a half will not last long. The revolutionary martyrs of later generations defeated the Japanese invaders, the White Army, the American Army, the Vietnamese Army, and the Indian Army, and were almost undefeated, relying on the belief in building a perfect society.

The Tianping Heavenly Kingdom has been in a slump since the Tianjing Rebellion, not because some generals died, but because Hong Xiuquan himself took the lead in destroying the religious beliefs he established, according to what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did back then, their religion was a cult, but cult beliefs were also beliefs, so the early Taiping army was able to trample on the Eight Banners and the Green Camp under the same civilization, the same equipment, and the same training conditions, and even defeated the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan under the leadership of the military genius Shi Dakai. But the Tianjing Rebellion proved that this religious belief was made up by a group of careerists to fool the people below to work for them, the believers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not believe it, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army also did not believe in it.

Jin Liang has especially studied why modern Western democracies are so arrogant and powerful, and what magic weapons do they have besides strong ships and sharp guns and muskets? The obvious answer is their religious beliefs.

The reason why democracies have become the craziest aggressors in the world in modern times, and the executioners of almost all the massacres in the world, lies in the democratic system of Western countries, which is not a people's democracy based on mass politics, but an elite democracy based on group politics. It is guaranteed that the Caucasians will become colonizers and not colonies in the world colonial wars of the jungle.

The model of meritocracy based on bloc politics is particularly suitable for the Christian Caucasian society, which, to borrow the fashionable phrase, is the political development path of a Christian country with Caucasian characteristics. The unified values of Christianity have formed a unified national code of conduct, which has a binding effect on the rich and the poor equally, eliminating the root cause of civil strife in multiple sets of codes of conduct in a centralized state, making the country a strong unified whole, and ensuring that the butcher's knife is always external. This is why Nazi Germany killed Jews but not Germans, and Nazi America killed Indians but not Caucasians. Therefore, what kind of political model Western countries adopt within themselves will only affect and change the state of their domestic political struggles, and will never change the conquest and massacre of other countries.

It is precisely the democratic system of modern Christian countries that has always attracted more and more countries, especially backward countries, to embark on the road of Westernization, with the result that there are many losers and few successes. The reason lies in the fact that the premise of Western democracy must be to have a unified national faith, and in order to consolidate their world dominance, Western countries that are well versed in this way always take the lead in destroying the unified belief of the other country under the banner of freedom of belief and turning the other country into a plate of scattered sand. As a result, the westernization path of the vast majority of backward countries has fallen into a paradoxical trap from the very beginning: the more complete the Westernization is, the more they deviate from the historical development path of the Western countries, the more they become vulnerable to scattered sand, the more they fall into endless turmoil and strife, and in the end they have no choice but to be colonies and vassals of Western countries.

The polar opposite Westernization fate of China and Japan in the modern history of the world is typical. As a result of the Westernization of China's Westernization Movement and the Reform of the Law, a century of war and chaos were almost wiped out. Japan, on the other hand, has produced an emperor according to the God model of Western Christianity, and has a unified belief in the country, thus becoming one of the very few non-Christian countries that has truly embarked on the path of development in Europe and the United States.

After thinking about these problems, Jin Liang decided to establish a sect, a Chinese-style Christianity, and of course it was certainly not to engage in Hong Xiuquan's belief in God. However, Hong Xiuquan's set can still attract so many believers, and the religious effect that Jin Liang is about to engage in will be even better. In order to build a denomination that attracts people to participate, it must be unique and have Chinese characteristics.

Look at what religions were in the Song Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are the three major sects.

Confucianism generally pays attention to the gods and spirits, so they basically do not believe in that kind of godhead religion. And the fundamental reason why they believe in Confucius is that this can bring them political benefits, many Confucian scholars read Confucian classics every day, but deep down they don't believe in it. They only preach benevolence and courtesy to the fierce forces of the foreign race and the upper echelons. Engaging in this kind of religion, which the believers do not believe in at all, is China's sorrow, a very fundamental sorrow.

Buddhism, the connotation of this religion, is still very deep, has its significance, but most people in the lay do not have this understanding, they can not understand the true essence of Buddhism, can only be infringed by the negative thoughts of Buddhism, and most Chinese believe in Buddhism is to talk about "temporary Buddha's feet", no one really believes in Buddhism. Not only China, but other countries that are very Buddhist-minded are now backward and not good, look at those small countries in Southeast Asia.

Buddhism has more bad influence on China than good, not only in the ideological anesthesia and restraint of the ordinary people, but also its organization has a very bad impact on the socio-economic and political affairs of the whole country, such as the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the monasteries are malignantly expanded, the monasteries occupy all the famous mountains and fertile fields, do not produce, neither output nor circulation, the possession and waste of social production resources are very prominent, especially in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, the monks who should have worked hard and done nothing sat on a large amount of real estate, became large landlords, and became rich and rich. Ten of the world's wealth, and the Buddha has seven or eight.

At that time, the common people were faced with heavy taxes, had no land to cultivate and had nowhere to make a living, and many chose to become monks, so the idle and redundant situation of the monastic personnel was also quite serious, and even to the point that there was no labor when they wanted to plough the fields, and there was no source of soldiers when they had to fight, and the prosperity of Buddhism and the depression and chaos of the social order produced a fundamental conflict of interests. In the sixth century, after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, the policy of exterminating Buddhism was immediately implemented, limiting the number of monasteries, and three million monks and nuns returned to the laity, which was one-tenth of the total population at that time. During the Tang Dynasty, 260,000 monks and nuns were forcibly returned to the laity, tens of millions of hectares of fertile land were confiscated, and 4,600 temples were demolished, so that the labor force and production wealth in the society were multiplied out of thin air.

Not only that, but Buddhism is also a place where privileges are concentrated. When the Northern Wei Dynasty suppressed the Gaiwu Uprising, a large number of weapons were found in a Buddhist temple, and a large number of private belongings hidden by local officials and wealthy people were found, which gave Emperor Taiwu of Wei an excuse to violently destroy the Buddha. Let "within one realm, there is no recovering Shamen". When the Tang Dynasty founded the country, there was a rule that those who entered the Buddhist gate "could be spared death". As a result, many rebels took refuge in temples after being defeated. During the "Anshi Rebellion", Guo Yi reached an agreement with the Zen Buddhist Association at that time, acquiescing to the latter's exchange of money through private sales. As a result, the number of Buddhists is out of control. All kinds of internal strife and external troubles have caused a religious organization that is supposed to be indisputable and benign in the world to continue to alienate and become a social tumor, which not only conflicts with the interests of the political power, but also conflicts with the interests of the secular society.

As a religion, Buddhism has spiraled out of control because it has expanded too quickly. It has escaped the sphere of power and functions of itself as a born religious organization, competing with secular society for resources and wealth, and even with the regime for control of society.

Therefore, Jin Liang naturally has no good feelings for Buddhism, but he has a different view of Taoism.

Taoism is a native religion of China, which arose among the people during the Eastern Han Dynasty and was founded by Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Zhang Lu, the current leader of Wumi Dao, the idea of Taoism. Originating from the Taoist ideas of Lao Li Dan and Zhuang Zhuang Zhou during the Warring States Period and the immortal magic of the pre-Qin Dynasty, it advocates self-cultivation and refining pills in order to become immortals. Taoism pretends to be in the name of the Tao Te Ching, and there are few academic components. In addition to coaxing the emperor to cultivate the elixir of immortality for temporary development, the impact on the culture of later generations is actually much weaker than that of Buddhism and Confucianism.
