What does Tiandao have in it?

It's a very simple and complex question.

To put it simply, Tiandao is the belief that "everything is omnipotent, only Taiyi". It is believed that the One God is omnipotent, the one, and the supreme. As long as you believe in these, you can be regarded as a believer in the Heavenly Dao Sect.

And to go a little deeper, Tiandao Sect has an ideal heaven, that is, the kingdom of the One God - the Kingdom of Bright Heaven. The main purpose of the "Taiyi Illuminati Sutra" is to depict the Kingdom of Light and tell people how to let their souls ascend into this Kingdom of Heaven after braiding.

And the characteristics of the Bright Heaven are that science is incomparably prosperous, material abundance is incomparably noble, people's ideological consciousness is incomparably noble, there are no robbers, no thieves, no exploitation, no oppression, everyone does what he can, and material materials are distributed according to his needs - needless to say, this Bright Heaven is a GC paradise! This Chen Dexing was a GCD member in his previous life, and he didn't know what other heavens were like, so he could only depict a GC-based Elysium for future generations.

I know how happy I am to live in the Kingdom of Light, and I know how to get there—to believe in the One God, to fight for the One God, to fight for the whole truth of the universe, and to fight for the progress of mankind...... As long as you do all of the above, your soul will be able to go to the Kingdom of Light and enjoy bliss forever!

That's what the first classic of Heavenly Taoism, "Taiyi Illumination Sutra", says, and the number of words is not much, that is, only twenty or thirty thousand. And it's not said in a mystical language, anyone who has read some books can understand it.

But that's just the beginning.

Tiandaoism also has a second classic, "Scientific Method and Positivism". This scripture is about how to explore the way of heaven. It is to use science and empirical evidence to explore the truth of the universe, and then use the truth to benefit all mankind. Building a copycat version of the Bright Heaven in the mortal world - this is to move heaven to earth, and the method is science!

It is the reason why the One God is omnipotent. It is because they have mastered all the truths of the universe, and human beings can grasp the truths of the universe through scientific research, and the more truths they grasp, the closer they are to the One God, and the closer they are to the realm of omnipotence - to sum it simply, it is the omnipotence of science!

The second level of Celestial Taoism is Scientology. The reason is very simple, but it is very difficult to study science, and it must be worked hard by generations of outstanding believers of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Anyone who puts in the effort and achieves a certain amount of achievement. You can go to heaven after you die. At the same time, the more scientific truths that humanity has in its grasp, the closer it is to the One God and His heavenly kingdom.

At the same time, it should also be explained that the scientific truths put forward in the Scientific Method and Positivism are mainly the truths of the natural sciences. This is to encourage the followers of the Heavenly Taoist Sect to study the natural sciences and use the results of scientific research to develop the productive forces.

A "Taiyi Light Sutra" plus a "Scientific Method and Positivism" is the soul of the current Heavenly Taoism. It's just now, because the Heavenly Daoist Sect still has a third classic "Chen Li" being drafted!

The Scientific Method and Positivism expounds on the natural sciences, while Chen Li is the social science of Tiandaoism.

The introduction of the Taiyi Illumination Sutra, the scientific omnipotence of the scientific method and positivism. Coupled with a "Chen Li" that regulates today's Chinese society and points out the direction for the future Chinese world, the unity of the three is the real Heavenly Taoism!

And what Baoyin brought to the sea was only the two classics "Taiyi Illumination Sutra" and "Scientific Method and Positivism", and "Chen Li" did not have them. Moreover, "Scientific Method and Positivism" is only in Chinese. There are no translations in Mongolian or Turkic. Because many of the words used in it are so strange that they cannot be found in Mongolian and Turkic. Therefore, this classic is also ignored for the time being. It was still covered in dust in the library of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Haidu Khan closed the "Taiyi Bright Sutra" on the case, and he had read it carefully several times. As a 13th-century Mongol king. He certainly couldn't be an atheist. Haidu believes in God, and Chen Dexing has miraculously risen over the years. and all kinds of weapons and inventions like spells, all of which vaguely prove the existence of the Taiyi God and the Ming King.

Chen Dexing was probably a demigod or a prophet......

Haidu set his eyes on the busy brother Timur, "Busy brother Timur's virtuous nephew, have you read this "Taiyi Bright Sutra"? ”

"I've read it, and I'm going to bring it back to Sarai." Timur, a busy brother, replied with a smile, "If the Heavenly Daoist wants to preach in the territory of the Golden Horde, as long as the beliefs of the Heavenly Sect and the Orthodox Christians and other religions are respected, the Golden Horde will not object." ”

Although he believes in the Heavenly Sect, he only believes in it, far from the point of obsession. He was tolerant and protective of paganism, which was the policy of the Golden Horde during this period.

Historically, the Golden Horde was not completely greened until the accession to the throne of the Uzbek Khan Yuejibe (the grandson of Timur, a busy brother), and the Golden Horde before Yuejibei was not even a Celestial Sect. During the reign of Timur, the Orthodox Church, which ruled the Golden Horde, was also given preferential treatment, and the Orthodox Church was not allowed to pay a poll tax, check the household registration, and no one was allowed to slander the Orthodox Church. Even the Uzbek Khan, who believed in the Celestial Sect, did not adopt more religious oppressive policies after ascending to the throne, except for requiring non-Celestial believers to pay a poll tax.

Of course, allowing the Heavenly Taoism, the enemy of the Great Mongol State, to spread in the Golden Horde was not just a gesture of tolerance, but a gesture of goodwill to the nascent Tran Ming Empire.

Moreover, the Golden Horde lived very well in the Kipchak steppe and the Rus, and did not want to embarrass the Eastern Expedition and Chen Dexing at all. In their opinion, Chen Dexing, who already had the Central Plains, should not be interested in going west to fight all the way to the Kipchak grassland.

Therefore, Timur was not hostile to Chen, and for him and the Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate, Kublai Khan, and Ahuru (Chagatai Khanate) were the real threatening enemies.

Bao Yin smiled and said: "Then thank you to the virtuous nephew, when Cousin Haidu takes Helin and opens up the road of east-west exchanges, the Taoist of the Heavenly Daoist Sect and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty will arrive in Sarai together." ”

Timur, the busy brother, clapped his hands and said, "I hope I can wait in Sarai at that time...... And I also hope that what Daming will send to Sarai is not only the Heavenly Dao Sect, but also H medicine and steel. ”

"Perhaps a trade route could be opened through Horin, at Juhai (Lake Baikal), and then turn west, passing through the forest tribes all the way to the Kipchak steppe," Bao Yin said. ”

Speaking of the "tribe in the forest", Baoyin glanced at Haidu Khan intentionally or unintentionally. Forest tribes refer to the people who lived in Siberia - the ancients of the 13th century, of course, who were similar in race and language to the Mongols, some of whom were conquered and assimilated by the Mongols, but most of whom still lived in the mountains and forests.

"Yes, yes! It's a good thing to open up a trade route! Haidu nodded in agreement. If he becomes the master of Horin, this trade route through Mongolia headquarters will naturally be beneficial to him. Not only can you get H medicine and steel from the Central Plains, but you can also take taxes.

"It's just that the people of the tribe in the forest are so ignorant and wild that they are untamable." Haidu looked at Baoyin, "The Mongolians all feel a headache. ”

Bao Yin smiled: "It's just a matter of slowly edifying, isn't this what the Heavenly Dao Sect does?" ”

"Missionary to the tribes of the woods?"

Bao Yin nodded, "Why not?" Wherever there are people who live, the Heavenly Daoist Sect should guide them. ”

At this time, Baoyin didn't know that he had only said half of what he said, and the other half was: The way of heaven is coming, will "Chen Li" be far away? And where "Chen Li" goes, it is Huaxia!

……

A large number of boxes of steel armor and horizontal knives were carried onto two dhows, hundreds of coolies pushed second-in-command carts to carry things, and boxes of weapons waiting to be loaded were now stacked on a newly completed dock in Tanggu Harbor.

Several men with short hair dressed as Heavenly Taoist Daoists were sweating profusely at the scene, and they also used gestures to communicate with the foremen and coolies on the dock from time to time. These Taoists turned out to be not Han Chinese, but Japanese. They were dressed in robes, but the hair on their heads hadn't grown well -- not so long ago, they were all monks at Otani Temple in Kyoto.

Chen Dexing stood in a corner of the dock, wearing a red robe, and Mo Yingniang, who was also wearing a red robe, and Xiao Ai, who was wearing a blue robe, were whispering. Today he came in casual clothes, and did not reveal the identity of King Ming. He came to Tanggu to see off the Second Mingzhou Expedition.

The route of the second Mingzhou expedition was basically the same as that of the first Mingzhou expedition. It's just that the starting point has become Tanggu, which also has to pass through Japan, but the Japanese port of call has one more Namba.

Now boxes of weapons are being shipped to Japan, and the next family to accept these weapons is not the Kamakura shogunate, but Hokuroku-boro to explore Hojo Toshigeru and the head of the Japanese Great Sect of the Tendo Sect, Otani Kakushin, who is the original Kakushin nun.

These weapons will be used to equip Hojo Toshimo's retainers and the armed order of the Tendo Sect of Japan, where violent monks are commonplace, and all famous temples are armed with sangha orders.

The Tendo Sect, which is now supported by the Hojo family's Kerakkuji stream, has naturally formed its own armed forces! The members were samurai who wandered in Heiankyo and Namba. It has been nearly 100 years since the establishment of the samurai system in the Hara Yoritomo dynasty, and there was also a samurai era dominated by the Taira clan. Samurai families flourished, and there was no major chaos to consume the samurai population, and their number naturally increased many times compared to when the Kamakura period had just arrived. However, Japan's land and opportunities for the Japanese government did not increase, and as a result, a large number of unemployed samurai appeared, the ronin! Historically, this class has been the source of social unrest in Japan.

Because any daimyo or temple, as long as they have enough wealth, can recruit a large number of ronin with a certain amount of military training to form an army in a short period of time! (To be continued......)
