Chapter 658: See the High Monk Again

The young monk fell to the ground with a scream, unable to get up again, his mouth and nose were covered with blood, and he lay on the ground wailing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He screamed miserably: "The master has been humiliated, as a disciple, what face does he have to live in this world." ”

After saying that, the young monk used all his strength to desperately bang his head on a boulder on the side, and died instantly.

His actions soon led to the follow-up of other monks, and several more committed suicide.

Everyone present, including the box army Dubo, was shocked, and even lost the power to speak.

The corpses of the monks lying on the ground made Du Bo feel the terrible power of Buddhism for the first time.

After a long while, Du Bo adjusted, he looked coldly at the Buddhist believer in front of him, and asked, "If anyone else wants to commit suicide, just come out, Lao Tzu can provide you with a weapon for suicide." But from now on, whoever dares to stop us will no longer be able to kill them! ”

Blood and death sobered up some of the people in the Western Regions, and the soldiers of the Xiang Army raised their swords and guns in their hands and walked forward step by step, and the people of the Western Regions who were originally surrounded began to unconsciously give way to the road.

They watched as the prisoner vans moved farther and farther away from them, farther and farther away, until they disappeared from everyone's sight and could no longer be seen......

An hour after the Xiang army left, those people from the Western Regions still gathered outside the temple in the city and refused to disperse for a long time.

Although the monks are gone, there are still Buddhist classics and Buddha statues in the temple. However, before the devotees could rejoice, they soon discovered that the temples were in flames. The sky-high flames are gradually engulfing the temples in the city, and after the departure of the eminent monks, a greater blow has once again invaded the people of the Western Regions.

Many people from the Western Regions wanted to rush into the temple like crazy, but soon a large group of soldiers from the temple drove out. In front of the mighty soldiers of the Xiang Army, the people of the Western Regions stopped their steps and did not dare to take another step forward.

The soldiers of the Xiang Army looked coldly at the people from the Western Regions who were surrounding the temple in front of them, and then at the temple that was burning beside them, and everyone knew that it was over!

With this fire ignited, the history of Buddhism in the Western Regions should also come to an end!

In a few years, there will be no more Buddhism in the Western Regions, this will be the territory of the Yan Kingdom, and it will also be the territory of the Teachings, and the 36 countries of the Western Regions will become history completely.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of each soldier's mouth.

Everything that happened in the temple was quickly sent to Wei Shuo's desk, and it was finally time to completely solve the Western Regions. The Western Regions is basically a knot in the hearts of the Central Plains dynasties in the past dynasties, and the people of the Western Regions always surrender and rebel, rebel and surrender. In order to conquer the Western Regions, the Chinese people fought for thousands of years.

The Western Regions were first conquered by the Chinese during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao had operated the Western Regions for 40 years, and basically conquered the Western Regions.

Since then, until the time of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, China has never conquered this place again.

Even if it is as strong as Tang Taizong, it is only the conquest of Gaochang State, as for the western region controlled by the Western Turks, it was pacified by Su Dingfang when Tang Gaozong was in power.

In addition, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Talas were defeated, and the Western Regions first became the territory of the Tibetans, and later the territory of the Uighurs.

After that, until the time of the Song Dynasty, China never conquered the Western Regions.

By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, the Western Regions had become the territory of the Mongol Han Kingdom. After that, the Qing Dynasty took 70 years before and after, and it was not until the Qianlong period that China pacified Dzungaria and the size and Zhuo. Later, in the Tongguang period, the Western Regions were occupied by Agubai, and finally Xinjiang and Ili recovered by Zuo Zongtang, so that the Western Regions could be regarded as an inseparable territory of China.

Originally, the Western Regions were not very calm because of the Yan army's westward expedition, but this time because of the Buddha extermination incident became agitated, many Buddhist children were unwilling to withdraw from the Western Regions, and fled to the west, and even some radical monks planned to go to the Indian continent to ask the Buddhist power Gupta Empire to send troops to crusade against the Yan State.

……

When the Taoist monks saw the famous King Yan, they couldn't help but be shocked by the demeanor of King Yan. Originally, he thought that King Yan, who ordered the strong extermination of the Buddha, should be a middle-aged man with a rebellious face and an imposing attitude, but who knew that King Yan was personable, always smiling, and his body was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, without a trace of tyranny.

"The Master has suffered!"

Wei Shuo looked at the embarrassed Taoist monk, whether it was for himself or for Buddhism, which was suffering, this apologetic word was necessary.

"Alas, the poor monk is wrong! Originally, the poor monk thought that the king destroyed the Buddha because he did not understand the Dharma, and the poor monk planned to show the king the charm of Buddhism in order to persuade the king to change his mind. Now it seems that the king destroyed the Buddha for the sake of the great cause of the ages. ”

"The master is wise, and he has been invincible since the outnumbered army started, why not? Without him, Guy is united as one! Speaking the same language, writing the same language, learning the same culture, and practicing the same faith, 21 million people from all ethnic groups in the Yan Kingdom united as one and defeated one strong enemy after another. ”

However, who knew that the countries of the Western Regions did not accept the king's transformation and were entrenched on the Silk Road, which seriously hindered the development of the Yan Kingdom, so the widows had to raise troops to eradicate them. In order to prevent the rebellion of the Western Regions in the future, the widows had to implement forced assimilation education, break down the barriers between the countries in the Western Regions, and turn them into the same race, that is, the Chinese. ”

"In this way, it is imperative to destroy the Buddha in the Western Regions?!" Dao Xing's face was very ugly.

"The general trend is like this, and it is irretrievable!" Wei Shuo sighed.

After a long while, Dao Xing suddenly said: "The poor monk heard that the king has never destroyed the Buddha in Yan Kingdom, I wonder if the poor monk can go to Yan Kingdom to preach?" ”

"There is naturally no problem with this, the destruction of Buddha is only limited to one place in the Western Regions, and it will never affect the country of Yan."

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Dao Xing's face when he heard this, but he was happy too early. If Daoxing thinks that Buddhism goes to Yan Kingdom, it will usher in a development opportunity, and I am afraid that it will be full of money. He didn't know that at present, the teaching family in Yan Kingdom is dominant, and the senior monks led by Buddha Tucheng have worked hard for many years, but the results are still not great.

……

Not long after the Taoist monk left, another monk came to visit Wei Shuo. It's just that this high monk came from the west with a special mission, and carried in his arms letters written to Wei Shuo by the kings of the Western Regions such as the king of Qiuzi, the king of Wusun, and the king of Khotan.

"The poor monk pays a visit to King Yan!" The monk's fluent Chinese surprised Wei Shuo, Wen Qiao, Guo Yu, Lu Chang and others.

"You are a high monk of the Guizi Kingdom, I don't know why you came here this time?"

Although the Buddha was being destroyed in the area occupied by the Yan army, Wei Shuo was still very polite to the monks, first giving up his seat and then serving tea, without letting the monks see that he had any bad feelings towards Buddhism, but he didn't know why he would suddenly destroy the Buddha.

"Although the poor monks are in the Western Regions, they also know that Huaxia broadcasts the world with benevolence, and this is also the reason why the countries of the Western Regions admire the Central Plains. The king saved all the people from fire and water, and his benevolence, righteousness and kindness, even the poor monks were like thunder in thousands of miles. ”

"This time, the poor monk was sent by the kings of Qiuzi, Wusun, Khotan, Yanqi and other countries to beg the king to surrender to him! Ask the king for kindness like nectar and give alms to hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Regions! ”

I don't know how long it took for Wei Shuo to say categorically: "The benevolence of the widow is only given to the subjects of Yan State, and if the countries of the Western Regions want to enjoy a certain kindness, please surrender to Yan State immediately!" ”

"The countries of the Western Regions are willing to submit to the Yan Kingdom forever, and they are willing to defend the western region for the Yan Kingdom......"

Wei Shuo waved his hand to stop the high monk who still wanted to show his loyalty, and said without doubt: "I planned before the Western Expedition, preparing to turn the Western Regions into the inherent territory of the Yan Kingdom, and implement state and county rule here. If the kings of the Western Regions are willing to settle in Luoyang, the king will welcome him. ”

The monk suddenly raised his head and stared at Wei Shuo, who was sitting on it for a long time, and was silent for a long time, and finally said: "After the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Yuan Zhen was in the middle of the territory for a long time, and then he crossed the Green Ridge, and for twenty-two years, all the countries were obedient!" But in the end, he was still old and homesick, and he begged to return. ”

"The defeat of the Marquis of Dingyuan is the defeat of one person, it does not mean that our Yan Kingdom will fail. Master, please go back, if the countries of the Western Regions are unwilling to submit, then rely on the swords and guns in their hands to decide the ownership of this land. ”

Looking at the back of the monk in the distance, Wen Qiao suddenly said: "King, this may be the last temptation of Buddhism, and I am afraid that the storm will come in a blink of an eye." ”

"Come on, come on, who has Yan Guo been afraid of!" (To be continued.) )
