At the dinner table, the three of them were eating and carrying out the topic just now.

"That's right," Lin Fengxiang followed Huang Zaixing's example, picked up a small chili, and as soon as he took a bite, the dry and spicy chili pepper made him gasp again and again, and his hand kept fanning his mouth, "My mother, the chili pepper here is really spicy." ”

"Hurry up and eat two bites of food, just press it." Huang Zaixing laughed hahaha, proudly raising the fried chili pepper on his chopsticks, "All the way from Yunnan and Sichuan, Mr. Lin still can't eat chili peppers, I'm not afraid that I will be ridiculed when I see His Highness in the future?" ”

Lin Fengxiang took two mouthfuls of rice, chewed it, and looked at most of the chili peppers on the plate in front of him without giving up, the chopsticks stretched tentatively, and finally shrank back, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Alas, you really have to take your time for everything, it seems that I have to hurry up and practice this eating chili pepper, but there are many people outside saying that a person who can't eat chili pepper is not worthy of being the master of the Great Northwest." ”

"I said Brother Qin, come, don't patronize and laugh at me, you have to eat too." He looked at Qin Rigang, who was staring at Huang Zaixing enviously and eating chili peppers with rice, and grinned with his chopsticks.

"This thing...... Hehe...... It's no worse than losing your head. Qin Rigang happily picked up a spicy pepper, raised it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, smacked it in his mouth for a while, and gently put the chili pepper into his bowl. Then, he looked at Lin Fengxiang and smiled, "Don't worry, I promise to destroy it in the end." I said, brother, you go on to say, why does Brother Huang seem to be a little worried about the uprising of the Hui brothers in Shaanxi and Gansu? ”

"Okay," Lin Fengxiang took a bite to eat, and then began his topic, "Of course, it's a good thing that the Hui brothers can revolt and cooperate with us. However, when Brother Huang and Brother Jinfa were inspecting those who had returned to their hometowns and began to prepare for the uprising, they began to faintly feel a bad sign from what they learned. Linked to some of the information we have just received, the problem is even more complicated. I'll say something roughly, you listen to it first, and the rest will be supplemented by Brother Huang. ”

Lin Fengxiang stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Qin Rigang, "The actual situation of the Hui people here in the northwest is not exactly the same as that of the Du Wenxiu brothers in Yunnan. Although the Wenxiu brothers are also Hui brothers, he was born in Xiucai, studied diligently since childhood, and is not only familiar with Arabic language, but also proficient in Chinese scriptures and history. Therefore, the Weishan Uprising he launched was not only the Hui brothers themselves, but a great alliance of the Han, Bai, and Yi brothers. As the generalissimo of the president at that time, the Wenxiu brothers not only called for 'respecting the Celestial Empire, cutting off corrupt officials and corrupt officials, sending out water and fire for the people, abolishing harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, restoring production, reducing the burden of the people, and returning to Anhan', but also clearly pointed out that 'the Qing Dynasty provoked the Hui Han Dynasty to fight each other, and it was the corrupt officials who brutalized the people; Only by returning to the Han dynasty can the Qing court's purpose be overthrown. ”

"Everyone knows that in the Hui-Han fighting incident that happened in Baoshan that year, which was instigated by the Manchu government, the Han people, who were deceived by the Manchu government, once wantonly killed the Hui brothers, and the family of five of the Wenxiu brothers, old and young, was brutally killed in that incident, and he was the only one who survived. The Wenxiu brothers can be called a great hero who knows everything and knows righteousness. The vice-president of the Governor's Office was born a hero to restore the Central Plains world; The heroes of the land and the Qing Dynasty have been pierced by the couplets made by the Wenxiu brothers, and everyone has seen that he really regards the brothers of all nationalities who grew up in our land as a family, and regards the rivers and mountains of China as his own home.

That's why as soon as Yunnan was restored, he immediately devoted himself to Yunnan's economic recovery and development. He organized, planned, and implemented the land law of the Celestial Empire, provided the people with cattle and seeds, planned the construction of water conservancy, organized land reclamation, mining, salt boiling, encouraged the active exchange of caravans combining the government and the people, and planned to build post roads and bridges in various places. It was also proposed to hire technicians from the interior to develop Yunnan's textile industry, and strive to achieve complete self-production of cloth at an early date. In particular, the plan to build the 'Flying Dragon Bridge' over the Lancang River coincided with His Royal Highness King An's expectations for Yunnan, so that trade between western Yunnan and Burma could be communicated, and the economy of the remote western Yunnan region could also prosper. ”

Lin Fengxiang took a bite of the dish that Qin Rigang gave him and sighed, "Compared with the open-minded and sensible Wenxiu brothers, the upper class of the Hui people in the northwest are more enthusiastic about establishing a system that completely belongs to their own nation and integrates politics and religion. In particular, there are some people who still have great hatred for us Han people, and they have all recorded on the heads of the Han people that they have suffered from the suppression of the Manchu regime and the contradictions between ethnic groups provoked by the Manchu government. ”

"Damn, I didn't expect there to be so many strange things in here." Qin Rigang spat on the ground hatefully, and suddenly, he thought of another question, "I've always been worried, since we have put forward the intention of democratic regional autonomy in Tibet, will there be others who want to imitate it in the future?" Xinjiang, Mongolia, and the Hui people in Shaanxi and Gansu? Thinking of this, I am almost dizzy, if this is the case, then Yunnan should also be autonomous, our hometown Liangguang, as well as Sichuan and Guizhou...... If you add the Manchu ghosts to the fuck, they are all autonomous, so what else do you want our Celestial Empire government to do? ”

Lin Fengxiang didn't speak, but looked at Huang Zaixing. Qin Rigang casually asked this question, he really hasn't thought about it more, Liangguang, Yunnan, Sichuan, why are they autonomous? The Manchus will eventually be overthrown, and wouldn't it be even more of a joke for the Manchus to govern themselves?

"The Celestial Empire instructed us to make contact with Tibet and raise the issue of Tibet's autonomy, the purpose of which is, of course, to strive for an early peace in Tibet. However, this autonomy is based on the need to recognize the Celestial Government as the sole legitimate regime and that Tibet is part of the Celestial Empire's territory. In the past, when I was in my spare time during the Eastern Crusade, I had heard His Royal Highness King An talk about the future policies of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Mongolia, but in fact, I didn't understand these things very well at first, and even felt that it was not necessary. Huang Zaixing looked at Qin Rigang with a smile, "However, today let's talk about the issue of the Hui people in the northwest, which is a top priority." ”

Then, with his extraordinary memory, Huang Zaixing told Lin Fengxiang and Qin Rigang about the history of the development of Islam in Northwest China that he had learned from Lin Haifeng, from some books, and later from the investigation and understanding of some people:

Islam is very different from Buddhism, as well as Catholicism and Christianity in the West, because it is not only a spiritual belief, but also a form of lifestyle and society. Since it is a social form, it naturally has its own social power, and this power is the "clerical power". Their leaders are not only spiritual leaders, but also political leaders of a country. According to His Highness, there is a place called the Middle East overseas, where many monarchs of Muslim countries invite the most famous "religious masters" to crown them when they ascend the throne. The enormous influence of the "clergy" of Islam can be seen from this.

The development of Islam in the northwest of our country is not the same as it is outside. The emergence of Islam in the Northwest was not the result of the military conquest by the Arab Empire, nor was it the result of the systematic proselytization of Muslim missionaries, as was the case with the Western Churches that had tried so hard to proselytize in our country. It is just the result of the Muslim people of the Western Regions living and multiplying here for generations.

His Highness, when talking about this place before, once said with a smile that Islam was not "introduced" to us, but "brought in". Therefore, the process of the emergence of Northwest Islam also determined that it only existed as a personal spiritual belief for a long time in the beginning, like our current Buddhism. In this case, the so-called "clerical power" can only be limited to the influence on the lifestyle of individuals, but will not have an impact on society as a whole.

However, with the arrival and rapid development of Islamic mysticism in the early Qing Dynasty, oh, a descendant of Sufi teachings, this situation changed radically. The transmission of Sufi teachings has enabled China's Islam to gradually form four major Sufi sects with local characteristics in the northwest, namely Gade Ninya, Hufuye, and Jehe Ninya and Kubu Ninya. His Highness said that this Sufi doctrine was no longer just a way of emphasizing individual practice, but also advocated the establishment of a theocratic Muslim social organization, which came to be known as the Islamic system of "eunuchs".

In the northwest, the Islamic eunuchs were quite tightly organized and hierarchical, and almost all of them had their own deified leaders. Their sect leaders will all have supreme power and status within the eunuchs without exception, and have the power to kill and kill ordinary people. At the same time, the eunuchs also exercised strict control over the low-level parishioners to which they belonged, and some even organized them into military organizations. It can be said that under the organizational form of the eunuchs, Islam in the northwest has also appeared in the so-called "clerical power" with a real social significance.

This kind of "clerical power" has developed like this, like what?

At this time, Qin Rigang muttered in a low voice, "This is a bit similar to our original God Worship Sect." ”
