Chapter 777: The Manichaean Uprising (I)
The ancient Persian Manichaeism is also called Zoroastrianism, because they preach light and advocate the fire that breaks the darkness, and the name of Zoroastrianism also comes from this.
Since the five dynasties before the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Manichaeism began to specialize in "rebellion", in order to sort out the relationship between Manichaeism and the development of Chinese history, it is necessary to popularize a small science.
Five generations later, in the sixth year of Liang Zhenming, Wu Yi and Dong Yi rebelled in Chenzhou (Huaiyang, Henan Province in later generations) under the banner of Mani's Chinese translation name "Mo Ni". Putting aside the Fang La in front of him for the time being, there will be the Zhongxiang Rebellion in the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, the birth of King Ming of the Yuan Dynasty, and the uprising of Han Shantong and Liu Futong, all of which were committed by Manichaeism.
Although it had been defeated repeatedly, Manichaeism was not discouraged, and finally succeeded in gaining political power twice in China, the first was the Red Turban Army uprising with the Ming sect as the backbone, and finally overthrew the rule of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties in China and established the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader of this righteous army, and the final victory depended not only on the right time, place and people, but also on Mingjiao, but although the Mingjiao uprising was successful, as the real victor, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the key to his success, and he knew the threat of the sect, so under the advice of Prime Minister Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang aimed the spearhead at the foundation of his own fortune - Mingjiao.
It can be said that this time Mingjiao made a wedding dress and folded a large capital, not only folded the capital into it, but almost even folded the foundation into it, and Mingjiao was implicated at the same time as the "White Lotus Sect" that had been integrated with Mingjiao.
Under the suppression of Zhu Yuanzhang, Mingjiao can no longer exist in a grand manner, let alone exist among the people, but such a sect with a history of several hundred years cannot die out immediately, so Mingjiao is all integrated into the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect started in the five dynasties, the structure was loose and chaotic, due to the integration of the Ming Sect, and the rapid change, and even due to the integration of the Ming Sect, the White Lotus Sect became synonymous with "rebellion", not only the rebellion of Zhu Ming but also the rebellion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is a history to check, the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 260 years, the uprising instigated by the White Lotus Sect is no less than 100 uprisings, and many branches have been born under its influence: Tiandihui (Hongmen), Tianli Sect, Bagua Sect...... There are hundreds of tribes.
Zheng Chenggong, who is known as the surname of the Kingdom of Yanping County, is even more respected by Hongmen as Wuzong.
Among all the branches of the White Lotus Sect that were integrated into the Ming Sect, Hongmen was the most powerful, and Hongmen and Hongmen's subordinates jointly promoted the "Xinhaige" that overthrew the Manchu rule.
Therefore, to sum up, the history of Manichaeism's entry into China is the history of the development of Chinese history for more than 1,000 years.
With such good results in China, the development of Manichaeism in Europe was also extraordinary, but when Manichaeism entered Europe, European society was already affected by the "basic teaching". It is precisely because the power of the open-faced religion in European society is too strong that the people of Manichaeism have been secretly proceeding.
In the fourteenth century, the Manichaean branch of Manichaeism in Europe was formally established, and like China, this branch of Manichaeism was also determined to "reform", but unlike the Chinese Mingjiao, the reform of the Illuminati was in the scientific community, Galileo, Copernicus, Bruno, and a group of Illuminati scientists were determined to use science to defeat the foolish rule of the Christians.
The Illuminati attack proved to be effective, and with the advent of the European Renaissance and the Rational Movement, the Illuminati were more suited to the tastes of the elite of the class, and even the Dutch nobleman Adolf Koenig, a member of the "Freemasons", joined the Illuminati.
Later, Adolf Koenig boldly introduced the organizational system of the Illuminati into Freemasonry, which was very similar to the original integration of Mingjiao into the White Lotus, and under Koenig's facilitation, the "Brotherhood of Light" that was integrated into Freemasonry was officially established.
It is also for this reason that the Illuminati, which retains a large number of scientific elites, began to move from Freemasonry to politics, but the Illuminati were soon collectively blocked by various government groups that were aware of it, and of course it was indispensable to the promotion of Freemasonry, so the transformation of the Illuminati successfully established itself on the opposite side of Freemasonry. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Illuminati welcomed one of its own important members - Hitler.
We have heard too many stories about this person, but behind the many scientific research technologies in Germany in World War II, is there a shadow that has always occupied the "commanding heights of science" Illuminati......
……
Trapped in the disturbance of Zhu Mian Huashi for a long time, the people in the southeast became more and more resentful, and people were confused.
Fang La's family has a lacquer garden, the previous court set up a bureau to repeatedly take money, although there is resentment, Fang La did not dare to speak out, and now by the court issued the "tribute paint" matter, the government once again exploited the lacquer households, Fang La's anger in his heart again could not bear it.
There are many people in Qingxi who make a living from lacquer, not only Fang La, after getting the official government to convey the tribute paint, the anger that has been squeezed and bullied the hearts of the people can no longer be suppressed.
Seeing that the crowd was uncontrollable, Fang La, who felt that he had a vision and was quite a part of the people, gathered more than 100 loyal Manichaean believers who were strong and well-behaved to come to the gathering and feast.
His son Fang Bo and his confidant friend Fang Fei are also there.
After pouring the wine several times in turn, seeing that everyone was a little dazed, Fang La got up and said: "The country is a good family, if the son and younger brother of a family plough the fields and weave cloth, they are tired and hard all year round, and there is a little bit of food and cloth, and the father and brother all take it and waste it; If the juniors do not do what they want, they will be whipped with whips and bamboo boards, brutally abused, and tortured to death without mercy, can you be willing to endure it?"
When Fang La's words fell, Fang Fei and Fang Bo were the first to shout: "I can't bear it!" ”
At this moment, I heard someone shouting, and a group of people also shouted: "I can't stand it!" ”
The interaction effect was very good, and Fang La continued: "These fathers, brothers and elders are not wasteful, and they use their family belongings to curry favor with the enemy, do you think it should be?"
has been oppressed by the government for a long time, and many people are more and more angry: "How can there be such a reason in the world!" ”
can become a generation of heroes, Fang Lazi is an extraordinary person, and at this moment there are tears in his eyes: "There are so many taxes and labors in the government today, these officials and men still have to extort and extort, I and other people have worked hard to produce some lacquer paper, and they have to be scavenged by them.
Today, Zi Zong, love and horses, big construction, annual festivals, military expeditions and procurement of flowers and stones are extravagant, in addition to asking for peace with money, bribing Liaoxia and the two countries of silver and silk millions of dollars, all of which are the anointing blood of the people in our southeast. However, Liaoxia Eryu got this silver silk, and he despised me more and more for the Great Song Dynasty, and he was even more harassed over the years. However, the imperial court did not dare to abolish the New Year's coin, and the prime minister regarded bribing Liao and Xia as the policy of Anbian. ”
Although Lotte led the army to capture the Western Xia, but in ancient times, the news was blocked, and it took several months for the news to reach the two Zhejiang, but because the imperial court had been oppressed by the people of the two Zhejiang for a long time, the people had no prestige, so the people of the two Zhejiang did not believe the words of the government at all, so Lotte captured the Western Xia and captured Li Qianshun, and almost no one believed it.
Speaking of this, Fang La glanced at the more than 100 people who were eating and drinking, and said sharply: "I want us to work hard for a year, and in the end, the family still has to endure hunger and cold, and can't even eat a full meal, is there any reason in this world?" ”
"Does this world still make sense?"
"The king is faint and traitorous, there are few good officials in the Great Song Dynasty!"
……
The people who had been oppressed by the government for a long time immediately shouted and scolded angrily.
Fang Fei added another fire, and sighed long: "I had to pay taxes the day before yesterday, I had to serve yesterday, I wanted us to pay tribute today, and tomorrow I don't know what I want to do, what else is too much to do on this day......
"If this continues, sooner or later our blood will be drunk by these officials."
"Outside of Fang Yuan, what do you say we should do?"
"Yes, Elder Fang, what do you say?"
……
Seeing the turbulence of the crowd, the time had come, and Fang Fei took the opportunity to shout: "Old Fang, we listen to you, what do you say, what should we do with you?" ”
"Yes, Lao Fang, we all listen to you, you give orders, what do you say, what do we do, let's go against him!"
Hearing Fang Fei say this, a group of people shouted.
The Bureau of Supply and Fabrication has been squeezing the people for a long time, and the government has added fuel to the fire, and the people have long been thinking about change.
Seeing the anger of the crowd, Fang La began to gather a group of people to rise up: "In the past 30 years of this dynasty, the old ministers of the dynasty have either been degraded or died, and the rulers of the current dynasty are all filthy and evil people. The supervisors and magistrates of all states and counties in all walks of life also acted as greedy and despicable, and did not care about the lives of the local people. The people in the southeast of me, who have been exploited for several years, have been worried about the years of tribute flowers and stones, but now they have added tribute paint, and we are really more and more unbearable. ”
After a pause, Fang La's face changed, and he looked at the group and said: "If you can rise up in righteousness, the people who have been oppressed for a long time will respond to the sullen wind, and there is no need for ten months, more than 10,000 people can gather, and the two Zhejiang Road will make it clear that we are in trouble, and will gather subordinates to discuss, and then play to Shen, Fang calculated, the result of this discussion, and then play in the imperial court, it will be delayed for at least one or two months, and in this two months, we will be able to take down the counties in the south of the Yangtze River in one go."
If the court gets a report, it will not decide whether to send troops or not, and it will take more than a month to gather the courtiers to discuss; It will take half a year to discuss the proper deployment of troops and grain and grass, because it has been nearly a year since we started the army, and we have decided the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, so we don't need to worry too much. ”
"Fang Gong is strategic!" Fang Fei hurriedly echoed on the side.
Being able to say this, with such a strategy, it can be seen that Fang La has been deliberately causing trouble for a long time, just quietly waiting for the opportunity. Now that the imperial court is squeezing the southeast day by day, it is a good time to raise troops.
Everything has its own accidents, and there is also its inevitability, and the oppression of the people by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is more and more accidental; Mani's love for creation is inevitable.
When chance and necessity are combined, the momentum is unstoppable.
Thinking for a while, listening to what Fang La said made sense, the eyes of more than 100 people who ate and drank gradually dilated, if as Fang La said, if the matter was successful, these people were the founding heroes, and everyone became a phoenix in one fell swoop, and everyone gradually became excited.
Obviously, these are not enough to mobilize all the man-made anti-accumulation, and Fang La has to reassure the others.
