Since the Ming Dynasty banned the export of any iron tools to the grassland except for iron pots and agricultural tools, the most scarce thing on the grassland was iron weapons. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Dingliao was extremely excited when he heard that there was an iron mine nearby, and at the same time felt incredible.

"Didn't the prince of Tumut send heavy troops to take care of the iron mines?"

A dragon smiled: "The prince of Tumut doesn't know that there is an iron mine in the wicker ditch. ”

"How is it possible for such a big thing as an iron mine?"

"Chief of Staff, do you know about the White Lotus Sect?"

Sun Dingliao stood up suddenly, the White Lotus Sect was a taboo topic.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army gathered people to rise up with the White Lotus Sect, and the slogan was "Maitreya was born" and "King Ming was born", so Zhu Yuanzhang took "Ming" as the country name.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the world, he set the White Lotus Sect as the technique of "left-handed chaos", "the leader is hanged, the servant has a hundred rods, and the flow is three thousand miles".

But the White Lotus Sect is a wildfire that cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

The White Lotus Sect is known as Luojiao, Wenxiangjiao, Wuwei Sect, Nirvana Sect, Hongfengjiao, Laozi Sect, Nanwujiao, Jingkong Sect, Wuming Sect, Mahayana Sect, etc., etc., feints to cultivate good deeds, incite the people, rise up to form a party, gather at night, fly bamboo to spread the message, and travel thousands of miles a day.

During the Wanli period, the White Lotus Sect reached its highest peak, and its followers spread to Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Sichuan.

During the Chongzhen period, there were no less than 100 sects under the pseudonym of the White Lotus Sect. Even in remote Liaodong, there were White Lotus cultists among the people and the army.

The court is not soft on white-collar religion.

"Chief of Staff, look at what scares you. Sit down and say, this is not the Ming Dynasty! ”

Sun Dingliao smiled dumbly, and he overreacted involuntarily.

Yilong said that during the Jiaqing and Wanli periods, some White Lotus disciples were exiled to the grassland. These followers are headed by Zhao Quan and others, and it is said that there are no more than 10,000 people.

They encouraged Altan Khan to claim the emperor against the Ming Dynasty and build a royal palace for Altan Khan, which is today's Dabansheng City.

They persuaded Altan Khan to convert to the White Lotus Sect, perhaps not eloquently, without mentioning the Tibetan lamas, Altan Khan finally converted to the Yellow Sect. After Longqing negotiated peace and I Da paid tribute, Altan Khan handed over Zhao Quan and other leaders of the White Lotus Sect to the Ming Dynasty.

The village of two and a half miles was the White Lotus cultists who built a big plate to ascend the city for Altan Khan.

Their ancestors went up to the city to burn kilns in the ravine for the big slab. Altan Khan betrayed Zhao Quan, and they did not publicize the discovery of iron ore in the ravine. Because mining and iron-making are all in the ditch, and outsiders don't know about it.

Sun Dingliao nodded, this makes sense, "But, Chief Long, how did you know about such a secret thing?" ”

Yilong said: "It's not because I always go to this village to rest these days. ”

"...... cooperate with the side door left", Sun Dingliao hesitated.

"Does the Chief of Staff know the teachings of the White Lotus Sect?"

A dragon read lightly: "

"No biological mother, vacuum hometown."

"Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born."

"Mo Dao stone people and stone people have one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world."

Sun Dingliao interrupted a dragon's words with a straight face: "Chief Long Bing, do you want to preach to your subordinates?" ”

Sun Dingliao's hatred for Manchukuo is true, and it is also true that he is disappointed in the Ming Dynasty, but he can't accept it if he wants him to join heresy and oppose Ming.

Sun Dingliao's current idea is to finish this battle wholeheartedly, return to Jinzhou, eastern Liaodong, take out his family from Zu Dashou, and find a place to live without asking about the world.

The scene of the mothers-in-law and aunts in Machi Village talking and rubbing hemp under the tree resurfaced in Sun Dingliao's heart.

A dragon glanced at him, "I'm not that idle." ”

"That's good", Sun Dingliao breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Long, please speak." ”

A dragon said: "The White Lotus Sect is the name of the Ming Imperial Court. The imperial court said that all the sects of seventy-seven and eighty-eight were pseudonyms of the White Lotus Sect, and they were all suppressed. But in fact, these sects worship different gods, their doctrines are different, there is no interaction between the various sects, and people themselves never think of themselves as the White Lotus Sect. Do you think this is strange? ”

Sun Dingliao never thought about it. The imperial court decreed that the Mahayana religion in Liaodong was the White Lotus Sect, and Sun Dingliao led his troops to suppress it. Now that Yilong asked such a question coldly, Sun Dingliao didn't know how to answer.

A dragon said: "Actually, the White Lotus Sect is a cage, you can put anything into it. The White Lotus Sect was anti-Song in the Song Dynasty, anti-Yuan in the Yuan Dynasty, and anti-Ming in the Ming Dynasty. The meaning of the imperial court is that all the sects that are anti-imperial or invisible to the imperial court are the White Lotus Sect. According to this statement, there are also many good men and women in our wolf mountains and rivers who are White Lotus disciples. ”

Sun Dingliao was silent.

Yilong said: "In the past, when I was suppressing bandits in Changsheng Township, I and Lide'er often went out in the middle of the night. We talked about this topic when we were bored. ”

Sun Dingliao raised his eyes and asked, "What did Li De'er say?" ”

"Master said, the White Lotus Sect is actually the teaching of the poor. The poor could not understand the complex scriptures and could not afford to pay tribute for many years, so they were willing to believe in teachings that were easy to understand. Ye said that all White Lotus Sects have a characteristic, that is, they can believe in religion at home. During the day, you should farm the land, do the work, and come back at night to worship the Buddha and recite a few verses, and you will not delay in working and giving birth to a baby. ”

Sun Dingliao thought about it, the poor and ignorant people who believed in the White Lotus Sect.

One dragon went on to say:

"The doctrine of the poor is also simple and clear, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than this life and the next life, gods and demons. The reason why the poor of this world are sad is because of demons; In the next life, the gods will be able to live a good life if they save the suffering. ”

"Some of the immortals worshiped by the White Lotus Sect are called the God of Light, some are called Maitreya Buddha, as well as Taishang Laojun, Shakya Buddha, Burning Lamp Buddha, Yama, and Guanyin. No matter what the name is, in a word, he is a good immortal in the afterlife. ”

"So, as long as someone claims to be a good immortal, there will be believers who will follow. As long as the gods say that the court is a demon, there will be believers who will rebel. ”

"This is the truth that in the eyes of the emperor, the White Lotus Sect is all left-handed and upright. According to the master, this is the simplest logic. ”

Sun Dingliao nodded, "That's the truth." I've heard this logic mentioned more than once, and I really want to learn it. ”

A dragon waved his hand with a big grin: "You don't need to learn logic!" Ye said that if you think about everything carefully, it is logic. ”

Sun Dingliao smiled, not wanting to argue with the dragon, "What is Lide'er's claim to the White Lotus Sect?" ”

"Simple! In a word, six words: do not advocate and do not oppose. I have to go back to the logic of the lord when I say this. ”

"Master said, he is not an immortal, and I am not an immortal. We ordinary people are just an immortal standing in front of us, and we may not be able to know. The gods are ever-changing, and it is not the same thing to say that the God of Light, Maitreya Buddha, Yama, and Guanyin are all the same thing. Further, it is impossible to say that the dark gods and demons are another change of the immortals. In other words, there are no immortals in this world, and the immortals live in the fairy land and don't ask about the world at all. ”

"Since we are mortals with the naked eye, we may not be able to distinguish between gods and demons! Chief of Staff, you say that cats eat mice, wolves eat sheep, which is good and which is bad? Demons can be called demons, just because demons are more capable than mortals, and it's not easy for demons to fool mortals? If the reincarnation of a demon is regarded as a god, can mortals tell the difference? ”

"If you are a mortal, you don't have the heart of an immortal, so Master Lide does not allow Wolf Mountain Hall to take the banner of Tianxingdao, so as not to go astray. Since he is a mortal, he will honestly do things and do humane. ”

"Chief of Staff, do you know what humanity is? Humanity is our human rights, everyone has the right to live, and everyone has the right to escape. We mortals can only see so far with the naked eye, and it would be great to be able to do these two things well! ”

"Let's be humane with all our hearts and minds, if there are gods, the gods will naturally bless them. If we still have the strength to go up, we will do it for the sidewalk, promote humanity, and make the lives of others a little better. If others want to believe in the White Lotus Sect, we don't have to interfere, and we don't have to be afraid. ”

"In the end, the White Lotus Sect rebelled, and they all declared that the court was a demon. If the people's lives were good, how many would believe? ”

"Take the village of Erli and a half as an example, at that time, there were more than 2,000 Mongolian Yi talents near Dabansheng, 50,000 Han people, and about 10,000 White Lotus disciples."

"Everyone in Erli and a half village worships Maitreya Buddha, and they can't follow Zhao Quan to overthrow the demonic Ming Court. Altan Khan betrayed their leader, Zhao Quan, but Altan Khan's taxes on them were no more than a bag of grain and a few bales of grass a year. Life is stable, but now that time has passed, not many of the descendants in the village believe in the White Lotus Sect. ”

"What they care about now is the mine in the wicker ditch, which is the livelihood of the whole village. When the herders have moved, the cattle and sheep can also be taken with them; The peasants moved away, and they were able to grow crops when they reopened the land; But when the people of their village left the mines, they were cut off. ”

Sun Dingliao said: "This is not easy to do. As soon as Manchukuo came, craftsmen like them were either taken to Shenyang or killed on the spot. Unless ......"

Sun Dingliao pondered for a moment, "Unless the whole village hides in the ravine and escapes this catastrophe!" ”

"Move!" , a dragon slapped his thigh.

"That's what I said. You know what? They then confided in me about the iron mines, thinking of building weapons and digging ravines to deal with Manchukuo. They asked us to send someone to teach them how to fight, and they offered to provide us with iron tools. ”

"What about me", Yilong seemed a little embarrassed, "and set up a robe brother incense hall for them, called Qingshan Hall." ”

"Aoyamado? What does it have to do with Wolf Mountain Hall? ”

"It's okay! Qingshan Hall has its own big brother and big brother of the torture hall, and each family is in charge of its own affairs. I...... I...... I couldn't refuse, and became the leading uncle of Qingshan Hall. It's just a name, and it doesn't matter. ”

"However, ......, the rules of the two incense halls are the same, they are all sidewalks. So if there is something wrong with Qingshan Hall, I, the eldest brother of Wolf Mountain Hall, should help. ”

Sun Dingliao smiled and asked, "So you came to me and asked me to send someone to teach them to fight, and they supported us in ironware?" ”

A dragon replied resolutely: "Yes! If it is possible, it is better for the two families to hold two and a half miles together and stop the Manchurian soldiers! ”

Sun Dingliao thought for a moment and said: "Guarding two and a half miles is different from guarding the stone gate, and if you don't get it, you will be able to put all of us in credit." ”

"You and I can't decide this matter, we can only decide the general headquarters. Now let them make up their minds to drill ravines, want to learn to fight, and pull people over to learn while fighting. ”

"Done!" , a dragon made the master for Qingshan Hall, "After the matter is over, I'm leaving." ”

Sun Dingliao said: "If the black light is blind, rest here for one night and leave tomorrow morning!" ”

A dragon had already gotten up and gone outside, "No, everyone's busy." I squinted on the raft, and the people of Qingshantang will be able to reach Shimen tomorrow. ”

Sun Dingliao couldn't help but feel strange in his heart:

Didn't you say that a dragon didn't care about Aoyamado's affairs?

How can a dragon take care of the affairs of Qingshan Hall, and still be the master of Qingshan Tang?

Teaching Qingshantang to fight by himself, is he helping Qingshantang, or is Qingshantang helping himself?

According to Bo Yinhu, "Compilation of Mongolian and Han Historical Materials of the Ming Dynasty: Volume 4":

When I answered the tribute, Zhao Quan was extradited to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Quan confessed at that time: "There are more than 50,000 Han people in the big and small plates, during which there are 10,000 people in the White Lotus Sect and more than 2,000 people in Yi." Among them, there are 12 large boards and 32 small boards.

After Zhao Quan was executed, the relationship between me and the Ming Dynasty improved, and the light taxes on the grassland were in stark contrast to the heavy taxes of the Ming court, and more poor people moved to the grassland because of "the grassland is better than being at ease", and it is estimated that the total number of Han people gathered in the Dabansheng area was not less than 100,000.

Historical records record the mentality of immigrants at that time:

"Today, I heard that the captives built a board to live in me, pushed food and clothing to support me, and farmed the land all year round, but there was only a bag of millet and a few bundles of grass, and there was no other errand to worry about me. And in the old days, I had relatives and friends to take care of me. Rather than die of hunger, I will be a puffer; Die by the blade, be a severed ghost, and have no choice but to go with the captive, you can still get a life! ”

These Han people have lived in the Dabansheng area for several generations, and their descendants have taken Mongolian names.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Chahar West conquered Tumut, and in the fifth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji West conquered Chahar, and these people disappeared along with the twelve Tumuts.

For this period of history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the conqueror, forbade mentioning it, the Mongols, as the conquered people, did not dare to mention it, and the Ming Dynasty, as a bystander, disdained to mention it.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Mongol and Han populations were forbidden to communicate with each other across the Great Wall, and the Hetao area became uninhabited for thousands of miles again. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Han Chinese re-entered the Hetao.

From this point of view, the peaceful development of the Hetao area by the Mongol and Han ethnic groups was delayed by the Manchu Qing dynasty for a whole dynasty.
