Chapter 542: Indian Scholar

Seeing Zhao Heyu and Chen Zilong frowning at the same time, the Chief Heavenly Daoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Mo Yingniang, said lightly: "If there is a Heavenly Dao earlier, why would Pu Shougeng and Ma Shoushan come?" ”

After all, Confucianism is an academic discipline and a school. No matter how special it is, it is not a sect. Scholarship and religion, after all, are two different fields – and they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Most of the great scientists in history were not atheists, they could study science and believe in a certain religion at the same time. And Confucianism itself is also facing the same problem, Confucian believers can believe in religion, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or Tianfang!

Therefore, Bai Fan like Pu Shougeng and Ma Shoushan could integrate into the mainstream society of the Southern Song Dynasty through Confucianism, while retaining the belief in Tianfangjiao, so that it was possible to launch a sacred war in Quanzhou. If Tiandaoism had become China's state religion hundreds of years earlier, with its monotheistic "xenophobic effect," it would not have allowed Tiandaoism to develop and grow in Quanzhou. Pu Shougeng, who has been rooted in China for six generations, either does not believe in religion, or enters Tiandaoism. Even if he can secretly keep his Tianfang Sect beliefs, he can only hide his head and live his life carefully. It is impossible for the entire Quanzhou to have as many as tens of thousands of Tianfang Sect Baifan, so there will be no such a big turmoil......

Thinking of this, Zhao Heyu's body shook, as if it was an epiphany, nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, if there is a way of heaven earlier, how can there be two thieves in Pu and Ma!" ”

Chen Dexing's eyes were blazing, staring at Zhao and Yu, and he said word by word: "The Heavenly Dao established by the Lone King is actually to make up for the lack of my Huaxia Dao system...... Since the Zhou Dynasty, I have emphasized ritual and pleasure over religion. Regenerate the people and leave the ghosts and gods. However, religious ghosts and gods are powerful in foreign countries, and the method of resisting religion with rituals and music is actually no longer possible in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Buddhism came from the Western Regions, and there were countless followers in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Although Taoism rose to resist, it could not stop Buddhism from flourishing in China after all. But this Dharma is a great defeat and a loss to the Heavenly Sect, and it is losing and retreating! Not only has the Western Regions been lost, but even Tianzhu itself has been captured by the Heavenly Fang Sect! ”

Zhao and Yu nodded repeatedly. He was a Confucian student, but he also worshiped Buddhism, and Quanzhou was an international metropolis. News of the Western Regions and Tianzhu will spread with the merchant ships. He naturally knew that the Tianzhu Tianfang Sect was flourishing and Buddhism was in decline. The patron protector of Tianzhu Buddhism, King Polo (Polo Dynasty), was destroyed by the sacred battle of the Tianfang Sect a few decades ago after hundreds of years of transmission. The Nalanda Temple and the Chaojie Temple, the strongholds of Tianzhu Buddhism, were also completely destroyed by the Jihad warriors of the Tianfang Sect!

The strength of the Heavenly Sect as a religion has been undoubtedly revealed in their struggle against Buddhism!

Although Confucianism may not be invincible. But in this kind of major event related to the Chinese nation for thousands of generations. Why give the Celestial Sect a chance to win? The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and there is tolerance, but it is not used in this kind of place......

Therefore, the best way to stop the eastward advance of the Heavenly Fang Sect is a shield of the Heavenly Dao - not allowed to spread on our territory! Violators will be dealt with in the Inquisition for barbecue!

It's a simple and crude solution, but it's very effective.

Zhao Youyu nodded and said, "Yes, you have to have the protection of a sect like the Heavenly Taoist Sect, but you can't let Luzon become the second Quanzhou!" ”

Chen Dexing laughed: "Not to mention Luzon." The whole Nanfan, the whole Mingzhou. The whole of Oceania must be under the protection of the Heavenly Daoist Sect! The Heavenly Dao Sect will be my Huaxia shield, and at the same time, it will also be my Huaxia sword! ”

……

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, habits are far away, no teaching, sex is ......"

The sound of Lang Lang's reading sounded, not in a private school in the land of China, but in Jinshan City on the Mingzhou continent thousands of miles away.

Built on the Kanayama Peninsula, Jinshan Castle is, of course, a small wooden fortress next to Jinshan Bay and Jinshan Port. It is the first base of the Ming Dynasty in the New World. The wooden fort was built last autumn with a predominantly Indian labor force from the vicinity of the Jinshan Peninsula. Because of the language barrier and the lack of corresponding tools, Zhou Xiaoqi and Mengqi did not dare to give "advanced" tools such as axes and saws to the Indians. Not so much that they would rebel with axes and saws, but that they would destroy these precious tools. Due to the language barrier, these Chinese colonists had no way to pass on their labor skills to these Indians who had converted to Tiandaoism.

Yes, in Northern Mingzhou, the Heavenly Daoist Sect continued to play the role of fooling the barbarians. Under the deterrence of H medicine weapons and hot air balloons, the Indians on the Jinshan Peninsula believed in Zhou Xiaoqi and blinded them as messengers of God!

So, things get easy! The words of the gods must be heard. If you are bullied by the gods, you deserve to be unlucky, and you can't resent and retaliate, otherwise you will be damned. The gods asked them to order food and drink, so they could afford to look at them, and they didn't hurry up to hunt and catch fish! If the gods want that kind of yellow-colored shiny stone, then hurry up and find it. If the gods want a house, then hurry up and help build it - although their skills in building houses are really poor, it is always good to have more people to help.

Therefore, in the past nearly a year, Zhou Xiaoqi, Meng Qi, Yang Aguo, Wen Tianxiang and others have gained a lot.

Zhou Xiaoqi had Jinshan Castle and Jinshan Port -- the base of the expedition in the Mingzhou mainland. His four wooden ships had also been repaired, and he was now training Indian sailors so that he could keep some of them in Jinshan City as guards.

There were about 3,200 Indian soldiers! The Japanese rib swords, which were supposed to be exchanged for gold and food, were now used as weapons for the Indian soldiers—1,600 spears tied to the head of a giant cedar stick. In addition, Meng Qi also had the accompanying craftsmen teach the Indians to make truly lethal longbows, and each of the other 1,600 Indian soldiers was given one each. Of course, it was the bone arrows that were shot. In Mengqi's opinion, with these three thousand two hundred Indian soldiers, how much gold and food could not be grabbed? Why "give away" the precious Japanese ribs?

Yang Aguo got a Heavenly Taoist Temple and tens of thousands of pious Indian Heavenly Daoists! He is now the altar master of the Heavenly Dao Sect Mingzhou Branch. However, there are not a few Taoists under him, who are all brought from China, and the local Indians in Mingzhou have not been cultivated for the time being.

Responsible for cultivating the local elites of Beimingzhou is Wen Tianxiang. Wen Da Zhuangyuan now has a private school...... Oh, it's supposed to be an official school! It is the place where someone is reciting the three-character scripture.

Of course, the people who studied here were all Indian scholars. Although these scholars were still wearing animal skins, their animal skin clothes had been sewn into the style of Confucian clothing, and the bird feathers on their heads were no longer scattered, and they were no longer clothed in Han hair buns—no longer wearing left hair.

These Indian scholars ranged in age and age, the eldest being the well-informed and knowledgeable Elder Shark. By the way, Elder Shark now has a surname, surnamed Shark, and his name is Tonghai. After Wen Tianxiang knew that he was named after a shark, he gave him a shark surname. As for the name of Tonghai, it is because of his superb water nature.

In addition, the first lobster who was educated by Wen Tianxiang and his brother Daiyu are now scholars. The two also have their own surnames, among which the lobster takes the shrimp as the surname and is named Xuedao. Because he was the first Indian to be educated by Wen Tianxiang, Wen Tianxiang hoped that he could learn the Tao and become a generation of Indian Confucians.

Lobster's elder brother Daiyu took Yu as his surname (the brothers had different surnames, because they were not born to the same father), and named Zi Jiang, Wen Tianxiang hoped that he could learn martial arts and become an Indian Confucian general, so he was called Yu Ro General...... Well, it sounds a little strange, but Wen Tianxiang has never heard of caviar, it's a pure coincidence.

In addition to Shark Tonghai, Shrimp Xuedao and Fish Roe, there are sixty-nine other students in this Jinshan Academy. plus these three of seventy-two people, together they are the famous seventy-two sages of Jinshan!

The seventy-two sages of Jinshan are now studying the famous Mongolian textbook "Three Character Classic". This is not an ordinary "Three Character Classic", but a limited edition of the "Three Character Classic" hand-carved by the Great Song Dynasty champion Kumon Tianxiang wooden tablets - because the paper is too precious in Mingzhou, so it can only be used wooden tablets.

In addition to the "Three Character Classic", the teaching materials of Jinshan Academy also include the wooden tablets of the "Taiyi Light Sutra", which are also handmade. In addition, Wen Tianxiang has recently been hand-carving the Analects, and he hopes to complete the production of the 72 wooden tablets of the Analects before Meng Qi launches the Southern Expedition. To this end, he also mobilized the great monk Yongxing and the monk of Jiudeng to help together.

At this time, Wen Tianxiang was in a spacious and bright room with his hands behind his back, looking at the seventy-two Indians wearing animal skin Confucian clothes, holding wooden tablets, shaking their heads and reading with satisfaction. Don't look at the slow progress, just the seventy-two people here, I'm afraid it will take a few years to slowly educate, and it can't compare to the Heavenly Dao Sect that pretends to be a god and a ghost, which can fool tens of thousands of savages at a time.

However, this is the right way, not the evil way, and what is cultivated is the Chinese people who have really entered China, and the Heavenly Taoism can only deceive people to eat, drink, cheat money, and take out to deceive people to fight as soldiers, and it is impossible to truly educate the people who have become Chinese. And that set of things is a small fight. If it is going to be bigger, there will be no life on this Mingzhou continent?

Thinking of this, Wen Tianxiang's brows furrowed slightly, and when he was sighing, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then the door was pushed open, and in came a young warrior dressed in clothes, who was a member of the Mingzhou land expedition. When he saw Wen Tianxiang, he arched his hand, and said in a respectful tone: "Wen Zhuangyuan, the officer of the Meng team asks you to come over and speak, and bring a few natives who are proficient in Chinese." ”

"This is ......" Wen Tianxiang frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

The young man said, "It's about establishing the Eight Banners of India." (To be continued......)
