246 Religious Revolt
It is said that Chen Jue's father and son successfully helped Liu Bei seize Xuzhou, and the tide rose for a while, and they became the big celebrities around Liu Bei, and their status can be described as a thousand miles in a day.
After being in a high position, the first thing they did was to use their power to take revenge on the Chen family's old enemies in Xuzhou, the Mi clan.
For several years, the Mi family has been dominating Xuzhou's glaze, fairy brewing and other trades, earning a lot of money. In this regard, Chen Qi and his son were very jealous, and sent people to Jinan many times to discuss trade matters. But how can Luan Yi not give face, saying that he will give the Chen family a chance, but he came up with a Raushzi exclusive agency model, claiming to let the Mi family and the Chen family compete fairly for the trade rights in Xuzhou, but in fact, they secretly sold the agency rights to the Mi family at a low price early.
Chen Jue's father and son were originally kept in the dark, but later Mi Fang ate too much wine and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth to get a glimpse of it.
After hearing the reason, Chen Qi's father and son were furious, scolding Luan Yi for having no integrity at all, and also scolding the Mi family for being insatiable, eating meat by themselves but not even giving them a share of broth.
Since then, the Chen family has been at odds with the Mi family. Thinking about bringing down the Mi family all day long, but Tao Qian attaches great importance to Mi Zhu Mi Fang, and with the power of Chen Qi's father and son, he can't fight the Mi family at all.
So, they thought of doing nothing and helping Liu Bei take Xuzhou. Xuzhou changed hands, and the Mi family naturally lost power, and Chen Jue knew that it was time to give the Mi family some color.
Thinking that the hatred in his heart could be solved, Chen Qi couldn't wait. On the second day after Liu Bei occupied Xiapi, he came to the door and first told Liu Bei that in recent years, the Church of Our Lady of God has made a lot of trouble in Xuzhou, and Luan Yi has bought many people's hearts through the Religion of Our Lady, which is the biggest threat that Liu Bei is about to face now. He suggested that Liu Bei arrest and punish the Religious Lady on a large scale to prevent future troubles. In particular, it is necessary to rectify the family that eats inside and outside like the Mi family, and is in a high position in Xuzhou but is loyal to the Holy Mother Sect.
Regarding Chen Qi's words, Liu Bei deeply agreed. I think that back then, he had read through the "Holy Mother Sutra" given to him by Luan Yi more than once, and knew that although the Holy Mother Religion could persuade people to be good, it essentially fanned the people to follow Luan Yi. This undoubtedly imperceptibly threatened Liu Bei's dominance in Xuzhou.
Liu Bei then followed Chen Qi's advice and searched around for the Church of Our Lady and its believers. However, to his surprise, before the purge began, he learned that all the churches in Xuzhou had changed their doors overnight, and the Virgin who used to wear the cross badge was also gone, and the believers who were well-known in the state like the Mi family unanimously said that they had broken away from the Church of Our Lady of Jinan and no longer had anything to do with the Church of Our Lady of Jinan.
Liu Bei originally wanted to arrest these people, but there were too many people, and the so-called law does not hold the people accountable, and now they have declared that they have separated from the church organization, and there is no reason to punish them. In addition, there are not a few gentry and wealthy businessmen like the Mi family, who bear the vast majority of Xuzhou's taxes on weekdays, and to use an inappropriate metaphor, they can be called the nurses of the Xuzhou regime.
Liu Bei did not dare to offend these squires and wealthy businessmen easily, and was afraid of causing resentment among the common people, so he no longer took action against the original Holy Mother. I can only quietly change the officials who have a history of the Church of Our Lady in various official offices in Xuzhou in private, so as not to leak secrets.
If Liu Bei's attitude towards the Disciples of Our Lady is biased towards gentleness, then Yuan Shao's actions should be classified as tyrannical.
After Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, at the suggestion of the strategist Feng Ji, he also launched a large-scale purge of the Notre Dame Cultists in his jurisdiction.
In line with Liu Bei, when he was about to start the operation, he learned that the entire church in Jizhou had disappeared unconsciously, and all of them had been converted into various shops or tea houses.
Unlike Liu Bei, Yuan Shao did not believe that the Catholics of Our Lady could so easily break away from religion and become good citizens under his rule. So, under the fanning of the flames, Yuan Shao decided to carry out a large-scale purge of the Notre Dame cultists in Jizhou. But the Catholics of Our Lady take off the cross is no different from ordinary people, and it is really difficult to tell the difference. If you can't tell who is a believer, how can you cleanse it?
In order to solve this problem, he issued notices in various counties of Jizhou, declaring that anyone who reported the identity of the Catholic of Mary would be rewarded with a thousand yuan.
People die for money, birds die for food, and sure enough, a whistleblower came to report the case. More than 3,000 people were arrested in one day and brutally murdered by Yuan Shao.
It's just that Yuan Shao didn't know that among the more than 3,000 people who were beheaded, the Church of Our Lady accounted for less than two-thirds, and all of them were the most ordinary grassroots believers. The other third are "good citizens" who have never been in a church.
The reason why they were arrested was entirely because they were falsely accused by their enemies, stabbed in the back, unjustly imprisoned, and died with a bell.
Soon, the people found out that the original Virgin Christians would also be slaughtered by Yuan Shao. For a time, the more than 2 million people in Jizhou were all in fear, for fear that one day they would be falsely accused and lose their heads for no reason.
Yuan Shao's strategist Tian Feng found out about this situation and hurriedly dissuaded Yuan Shao from stopping the purge operation.
However, out of fear of Luan Yi and the Church of Our Lady, Yuan Shao did not listen to persuasion and still insisted on going his own way.
What he didn't expect was that the purge operation only lasted 7 days, and after harvesting the lives of nearly 10,000 believers. Under Luan Yi's instructions, Li Xin, the archbishop of Jizhou Diocese, launched an orderly counterattack.
Overnight, the vast majority of literate people in all counties and streets of Jizhou had a piece of white Shencai paper pasted in front of their houses, and the Shencai paper was also printed with movable type and dense characters. From the point of view, the content of the text is actually to denounce Yuan Shao's atrocities after he entered Jizhou, and the text says: The Church of the Holy Mother, the Protector of the First Emperor's Imperial Seal, and even the Religion of Holy Purity. After Yuan Benchu proclaimed the history of Jizhou Thorn, he did not respect the gods and destroyed holy relics, which was really immoral; It is disloyal to disrespect the will of the first emperor; As a parent, it is unjust to slaughter the loyal and good people instead of loving the people; How can such a person who is immoral and unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial be worthy of being a feudal official? Yuan Benchu was perverse, no different from Dong Zhuo...... If the people of Jizhou want to save their lives under the butcher's knife of the Yuan thief, they can only fight to the end...... Yunyun. sprinkled more than 1,000 words, and finally signed - the Great Han Protector God Cult, the leader of the Holy Mother, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Luan Ziqi.
After reading this letter, which is called a leaflet, the people of Jizhou are all filled with righteous indignation. Yuan Shao was so angry that he shouted, "Luan Ziqi, insult me too much." I don't share the sky with you! ”
Yuan Shao didn't know that this leaflet was just the beginning of trouble, and the good show was still to come.
The day after the leaflet was published, shops in Jizhou, instigated by local church clergy, began a large-scale boycott of the market, mainly with the merchants and believers who had fallen into a dormant state. Over the next five days, more than ninety percent of Jizhou's shops closed their doors.
Subsequently, driven by some gentry and small landowners, a large number of gentry refused to pay taxes and grain to Yuan Shao. Some extremists directly burned the golden grain in their fields on the eve of the autumn harvest, so as to make a decision not to pay tribute.
Only now, Yuan Shao realized that the situation had far exceeded expectations. What is it that fights the war? The army is only one aspect, the key is money and food.
The bazaars were all closed and there was no income; The squires have collectively struck taxes, and there is no grain and grass, how can they still fight? You must know that Yan Liangwen is still facing Gongsun Zhan with a sword on the border of Jiyou at this time!
Forced by the situation, Yuan Shao had to temporarily follow Tian Feng's advice, learn Liu Bei's model, and also adopt a soft policy towards the people in his jurisdiction. After some pacification, the grievances of non-Virgin believers in various places gradually subsided, and they began to pay taxes and business as usual. Without the support of a large number of non-believers, the believers could not afford to turn over the wind and waves, and under the influence of the sect master, they began to live a normal life one after another, only occasionally organizing core believers to secretly engage in some sabotage activities in Jizhou, creating some trouble for Yuan Shao's rear, so as to delay the process of his northern attack on Youzhou.
Compared with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's method of dealing with the native Church of Our Lady was the most clever and effective.
After he entered Xuchang, Chenliu, Nanyang and other counties, the local Notre Dame Church also fell into a latent state and disappeared according to Luan Yi's intentions.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was not in a hurry, neither sent someone to clear it, nor was he wronged Huairou, but chose to replace it very much, confusing the truth with the false, and governing the religion with teaching.
According to Cao Cao's point of view, didn't you Luan Yi remove all the churches? Instead of going back to the roots, I found another location and built all the churches.
The appearance of these newly built churches has not changed to the Church of Our Lady, and the worship of Our Lady of Nuwa is also enshrined, and the church program and code are also the "Virgin Sutra", which is exactly the same as the Church of Our Lady founded by Luan Yi from the inside to the outside, except that the patriarchs of the United Diocese of Xuchang, Chenliu, Nanyang, Nanxiang and Yingchuan are led by Cao Cao, and the clergy in the church are also Cao Cao's people.
For a long time in the past, Cheng Yu has conducted in-depth research on the missionary model of Our Lady's Church. Under his guidance, the clergy everywhere under Cao Cao completely copied the Jinan model. They preach as they preach in Nuwa Cathedral. The clergy of Jinan organized their activities as they did. It's just that when he was preaching, his clergy never mentioned the affairs of the church, and never recognized Luan Yi as the person who was most pleased with the Virgin.
I have to admit that Cao Cao's other way can be described as exquisite. For a time, a large number of Orthodox Christians of Our Lady were deceived and ran to his temple to worship and pray, and became followers of the Church of Our Lady of the Cao Family.
The local Orthodox clergy of Our Lady of Mary tried to bring back to the Orthodox Church by reason by setting the record straight, but as soon as they appeared, they were arrested by Cao Cao's people, causing the church to lose many old servants who were loyal to the church in a short period of time.
Seeing that this method did not work, Luan Yi hurriedly stopped the actions of the moths of the gods and servants to put out the fire, and ordered them to stop all actions to avoid unnecessary losses, and only needed to ensure that the core believers, especially the believers of the great family industry, remained loyal in their faith. As for the ordinary people, they were temporarily left to Cao Cao's toss.
At the same time, Luan Yi also publicly announced in public opinion that the so-called Notre Dame Religion in Xuchang, Chenliu, Nanyang, Nanxiang, and Yingchuan is not the authentic Virgin Mary, but a religious heresy. The clergy who worked in the heretical church were not to be killed once they were captured by the Jinan General Altar of the Church of Our Lady.
As soon as the news came out, the agents of the Inquisition of S.H.I.E.L.D. under Guo Jia immediately took action, and within seven days, five heretics affiliated with Cao Cao died unexpectedly, and they died in the same condition, and they were crucified on the outskirts.
A religious struggle accompanied by a thick bloody atmosphere was staged in Xuchang, Chenliu, Nanyang, Nanxiang, and Yingchuan.
