Chapter 303: Suppressing Buddhism and Imposing the Rule of Law

Just when the three-way army of the East China Army was smoothly advancing to the hinterland of the West Strong, those ranchers of the West Strength were surprised to find it. The serfs, who used to be well-behaved, began to work for them as they used to. According to the information obtained from the liberated areas, any rancher who dared to kill serfs would be severely punished by the East China Army.

The generations of serfs who learned of the arrival of the heavenly army and the serfs to welcome the liberation also began to look forward to the arrival of those armies every day, and those ranchers naturally knew better. After the East China Army entered the country, it began to send local herdsmen and some intelligence departments that had entered Xiqiang in advance to publicize some emancipation policies against Xiqiang ranchers and serfs.

With the example of this region, those ranchers who do not take the words of the East China military seriously have either lost their precious lives. The family property was also distributed by the East China Army to serfs who were considered poor by these ranchers. Either accept the conditions of the East China Army and take the initiative to burn the deeds of sale of the herdsmen who have been slaves to them for generations.

Neither of these points is acceptable to the ranchers who have not yet been liberated. Just when they felt that they wanted to unite and resist the army of the East China Army entering the western strong. The ranchers, whose serfs had been freed, began to sell them with amazing goods that were still under the control of the independent government.

The pressure cookers that ranchers bought one by one were demonstrated by these rancher businessmen who had already regarded the East China Army as benefactors, or their god of wealth. These ranchers, who have not yet been liberated, all lamented that this is worthy of being a fairy pot.

Especially when I saw that the beef and mutton that used to be cooked for half a day and not necessarily crispy would become rotten meat that even the elderly could bite after being boiled in this pot for a short time, these ranchers, who were also not bad at money, were also willing to pay for such an expensive pressure cooker. Enjoy the so-called only the Heavenly Army can enjoy the taste of fairy pot cooking.

Naturally, these liberated ranchers and businessmen made a lot of money. At this moment, they really realized what it was to make money in these years. The money earned by exploiting serfs through grazing is basically the same as doing this kind of unique business.

The ranchers and merchants who have tasted the sweetness, after selling what they have, think of taking the wealth they have earned. and then to the Logistics Department of the East China Army, which is currently the only one they can wholesale goods, to increase the purchase of these things. Everyone knows that once there are more ranchers who are engaged in business in the future, there will be things where they are making money like now?

Take the wealth that these ranchers have brought in. The officers of the logistics department suddenly found out that they had brought logistics supplies to the strong area. Only a part of it needs to be exchanged, and it can basically guarantee the cost of military expenses for this march.

In particular, they also found that beef and mutton, which is relatively expensive in the interior, are cheaper than cabbage here. The troops who entered the strong army this time felt that they had never eaten so much beef and mutton in their lives. So much so that the people in the logistics department. Plans have also begun to raise an unusually abundant number of livestock. They are made into preserved cattle and goats and sold back to inland cities.

After all, at present, the logistics department of the East China Army can do some business by the way when it is on the march. As long as they are legal, the military will not blame them too much. And the more money the officers of the logistics department make for the troops. The greater the credit they can make.

Therefore, the logistics department of the East China Army, which is still headed by Xu Bin's second uncle as the logistics minister, is almost all good at doing business. It is also these officers and soldiers who are good at doing business that make every time the East China Army goes to war. There will be a significant surplus of military expenditures allocated by the General Headquarters. Therefore, the officers and men of the logistics department who cooperate with each other in the operation seem to have no less chance of making meritorious contributions than the troops on the front line.

With the completion of the construction of the first military airfield in the liberated areas, the air force plateau unit located in Shuhan Road drove an aircraft factory to specially transform aircraft suitable for plateau operations for them. After the smooth transfer to Xiqiang, many of the materials urgently needed by the troops were piled up in the warehouse of the logistics department through those transport planes converted from bombers.

Some subordinate units that could not adapt to the march on the plateau also took these military planes one after another to the pastures in the liberated areas. In view of the current strong western regions, there are still highly influential Buddhism to suppress both politics and people's livelihood. The first thing to do is that the medical system that currently exists in Xiqiang is almost all about the so-called high monks and living Buddhas of Buddhism who understand the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine plateau.

The reason why Buddhism has such a high status in Xiqiang is that Xiqiang is an area where Buddhism flourishes, and secondly, the senior monks of their monasteries will have some Huangqi medical skills. Relying on the so-called Buddhist compassion, enjoying the offerings of the poor serfs themselves, and giving alms to the insignificant benevolence in the eyes of the East China Army.

Taking advantage of their unique prestige, they occupy farms larger than some ranchers and raise many so-called apologetic monks. In addition to the ranchers of the West Strong, the second force that the East China Army must suppress. Only by dismantling their sanctity among the herdsmen will they know that the herdsmen can live well without them.

With the East China Army dispatching a large number of experienced military doctors and military nurses behind, they arrived in Xiqiang by transport planes one after another. One by one, medical detachments that propagated policies in East China and provided free medical treatment for herdsmen also began to be stationed in the pastures where the herdsmen gathered, escorted by the troops, to carry out the work of treating the sick and saving people.

After seeing these military doctors who were sent by the Heavenly Army and dressed in white, even those diseases that the living Buddhas and monks could not treat. Some herders, who had suffered severe injuries to their hands and feet, recovered their health after being helped by military doctors. This is a case that was pronounced death by the living Buddha and the monks, and was reborn with the help of these angels in white.

After this kind of news was publicized by these grateful herdsmen, these military medical units dressed in white became the most popular objects of the herdsmen in the liberated areas. After these military doctors entered the pastoral area, they began to publicize the policies of the East China Army, and they also understood that the living Buddhas and monks they believed in were often in a stage of exploitation similar to that of serf owners.

Over time, some monasteries in the liberated areas suddenly discovered that in the past, their monasteries were full of people kneeling in front of them seeking medical treatment. At this moment, they all seem to have disappeared without a trace, missing these herdsmen who provide them with money and supplies. Many monasteries are slowly discovering that they have to feed so many monks and soldiers who are counting on these herdsmen for food, and they are starting to have to find themselves unable to get in and out.

When they learned that the greatest magic weapon they had used to rule over these herdsmen, the medical skills they mastered, had been replaced by a series of white-clothed celestial envoys. The herdsmen also understood that the offerings they had received to the Buddha were to some extent oppressive to them, and they gradually became less selfless in providing supplies to these Buddhist monasteries as they had before.

Moreover, according to Zhou Dingbian's instructions, some herdsmen still believe in Buddhism, and the East China Army does not oppose it, but they must be understood. If you want to pray for peace with the blessing of the Buddha, it is better to really understand that the Buddha does not exist at all. The offerings they used to give to the Buddha were more embezzled by the living Buddha monks who played the Buddha's signboard.

If those monks and living Buddhas in monasteries are really as boundless as they claim to be Dharma, why would they ignore these serfs and be oppressed and ruled by serf owners for so many years? Why do they sometimes have to sell their sons and daughters to obtain the gifts of the so-called Buddha in the name of collecting offerings when they treat their diseases and save people?

And Buddhism really pays attention to the equality of all beings, why are those high-ranking monks and living Buddhas and monks and soldiers in the monastery, all with long fat heads and big ears, and mouths full of oil. And these serfs and herdsmen who sincerely worship the Buddha are so poor and so low? As for those living Buddhas, they said that they had committed sins in previous lives, and they would only get this kind of fate in this life.

So why can the herdsmen, who have been liberated at this moment, be able to enjoy the good life of free people again? This is obviously a monastery that blinds the serfs and herdsmen, and survives by oppressing them, just like the serf owners. Again, it's not a good thing. In the words of the propaganda troops of the East China Army, that is, the Buddha may be good, but these eminent monks are not necessarily benevolent.

With this propaganda, the East China Army, which was becoming more and more popular with the herdsmen and serfs, gave these herdsmen respect in all aspects, telling them what freedom was, what equality was, and what was the sanctity of personal property. The believers who had been anesthetized by Buddhism in the past gradually recovered from this anesthesia and embarked on the life they had really been looking forward to for a long time under the leadership of the East China Army.

Seeing that there was new hope in life, with the help of the East China Army, they had pastures that belonged to them, poor herdsmen, and private property that belonged to them. With the first tent that the military gave them at a low price or half sold and half given to them, and a large number of cheap household utensils.

These liberated serfs and herdsmen have also become only aware of the East China Army, and other serf owners and living Buddha monks are no longer as fearful and respectful as before. These herdsmen felt that after the liberation of the heavenly army and the new life of the serfs.

In the past, they could not have imagined that their children could read and write, but after the tent primary school was built. Their children can enjoy the supreme treatment of reading and literacy only if they were ranchers' children in the past. Isn't this the kind of life change they have hoped for for a better life?

The herdsmen who had lost their dignity for a long time also began to understand who was their savior, and they were also very cooperative with some of the policies that the East China Army had begun to implement in the pastoral areas. With the support of these herdsmen and poor serfs, the rule of the East China Army in the western strongness gradually became solid.

As for some monasteries who are unwilling to fall like this, they dare to go against the East China Army and promote the East China Army as demonic greedy. The East China Army will use the barrel of a gun to tell them that they will pay the price for saying the wrong thing. This kind of policy, which is either slow to cut the flesh with a knife, or that cannot be provoked, has begun to make many monasteries and monks in the liberated areas understand how serious the consequences of going against those in power are!
