Chapter 387: The God of Gods
Ge returned to the big tent, and the seven hundred monks immediately quarreled, there were worldly compromises that were unforgivable, some people thought that in order to save the temple, the interests of the Brahmins were not touched to express their support, and more people were relieved, these monks were not necessarily devout believers, but just born from Brahmins, Brahmins were priests and nobles, and were looked up to as gods, and in the eyes of Indians, the language of Brahmin prayer had the power of magic, and the increase in mana power could make the good good bless and the wicked punished. **// Brahmins enjoy many privileges due to their special duties and status. They were exempt from all kinds of taxes because it was believed that the Brahmins had paid off this debt by their pious deeds and that they could not be punished with the death penalty or any type of corporal punishment because the Brahmins were sacred and inviolable. Those who give gifts to Brahmins are assured that they will receive a certain amount of reward in this life and in the next. The most popular gift is land, which "removes all sins that are given." As a result, the Brahmins possessed a large amount of property, including entire villages.
Therefore, the high-ranking Brahmin monks present here were not so much monks as high-ranking nobles attached to the temple, each with at least hundreds of acres of land and a hundred and ten slaves who cultivated for themselves, and in addition, each village around the temple had to provide a certain number of maidens to enter the temple and become temple prostitutes, ostensibly these maidens married to the gods or became god's attendants, but as fate can be imagined, they will become the sexual partners of all the monks of the temple, and they will not be expelled until old age and decay. Therefore, if these Brahmin monks are believers, it is better to say that they are the most vicious and shameless nobles in the world.
The silent majority was secretly relieved, thankfully that they had retained their position, as well as their vast wealth and grange, and that was the main thing, and after heated arguments, the few monks who defended the tradition were soon accused of being outliers.
Singh stood up with the encouragement of the eyes of most of the monks, and pointed to a small group of aliens and announced his decision: "You have betrayed God, and I now declare that you are disqualified from being a Brahmin." ”
In order to keep the temple and their privileges, they had to eliminate these original 'companions', and most of the monks did not hesitate to make a choice.
"You are the one who rebelled against God." There were only about twenty monks in the Guardian tradition, and some people stood up and retorted angrily.
Dozens of Ming soldiers suddenly rushed in as if they had already been guided, at the door of the camp, there was already an interpreter eavesdropping here, until the contradiction was irreconcilable, the interpreter did not hesitate to make a gesture to a hundred households on the side, the hundred households sneered, waved their big hands, and the Ming soldiers who had already been on standby rushed in, rushed up to capture the more than 20 monks, and pushed out the large-scale barracks, and then there was a row of gunfire outside the door, in addition to a painful groan.
The monks in the tent were startled when they heard the gunshots, and their faces were pale to guess what was happening outside, and they were secretly glad that they were not on the wrong side. At this time, the interpreter outside the door had already lifted the curtain and came in, glanced at the monks around, and walked up to Singh with a stunned face: "High priest, I have already helped you solve the traitor." ”
Singh was stunned for a moment, High Priest? He immediately came to his senses, this is the reward given to him by the Ming Emperor, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a trace of joy, but when he heard that the traitor was solved, he couldn't help but tremble, and the Ming army did not hesitate to kill all the dissidents, so that he had a strong fear in his heart, he was glad that he was still alive now, if there was a little bit wrong in the conversation with the Ming Emperor, I am afraid that the person who was caught and executed like a dog was himself.
The Indian soil spoken by the interpreter just now was very loud, and the monks on the side couldn't help but shiver, and they vied with each other to show a flattering smile to the interpreter, and the interpreter said: "The emperor asked the lower officials to pass on a word, and some outlines that need to be improved have been listed, as for how to publicize it, it depends on you." ”
The Tongguan paused. He said in a high voice, "As for the infidels who were punished. Their temples and estates will be placed in the hands of the High Priest Singh. ”
Nodding busily. The monks in other places also followed the jaw resignedly. In short, everyone understood one thing. That is, to be able to preserve vested interests. If there is a slight disobedience. I'm afraid I'm going to have no bones left.
For the next few days. Singh and the monks never slept. Doctrinal improvements were finally studied. The Ming Emperor is the embodiment of the three main gods. The emperor was a Brahma doppelganger at a young age. In the middle and prime of life, he is a doppelganger of Lord Vishnu. The old age is a Shiva doppelganger.
"Thank you for your comments on the beer bottle and the classmates"
There are three main gods in India. First, the earth and heaven are the God of creation, Brahmanism, as the supreme essence of the universe, and Brahmanism personifies everything that is created by him. Including people and gods in general.
Vishnu is the god of protection, the god of punishing evil, rewarding good, and the god of great mercy when the world is to be demonized
He came out in the form of some kind of incarnation to save the world, and Indian ancient books or myths describe that he has four hands holding the wheel treasure conch, the fairy scepter, and the lotus flower, and he often lies on the body of the giant serpent, and the mount with a flower growing on the navel is the golden-winged bird-Garuda, which is ranked below Brahma.
Shiva is one of the most complex deities, combining the incompatible properties of fire and water; It is both destruction and resurrection, both a great austerity and a symbol of **; He has both the compassion of shepherding sentient beings and the fierce desire of revenge, and is the third god.
These monks were also frightened by Zhu Jun, and they suddenly put the incarnations of the three main gods on the body of the Ming Emperor, which must be described as well-intentioned.
The Han Chinese became the subjects of God, belonging to the same high race as the Kshatriyas, and in addition, both commoners and untouchables in India could join the colonial legions to serve His Majesty the Emperor, and if they died in battle or made meritorious contributions, the untouchables could be stripped of their untouchables, and the commoners could be cleared of their sins.
And the hierarchy of the temple has also begun to plan the prototype, the original Hinduism is just a relatively loose religion, not like Catholicism like the upper pope, there are cardinals below, Zhu Jun actually has long had the idea of strengthening Hinduism to serve the propagation of doctrine in the future, so the monks did not dare to slack off, and immediately divided the hierarchy, the highest level ~ high priest, in charge of all temples and believers. The second level is the priesthood, who divides all the parishes into several pieces and is governed by the priests, and then the elders of the temples. Monasteries can have land, they can preach teachings, Brahmins remain inviolable, all Brahmin privileges are retained, the only thing is that Brahmins are not allowed to interfere in worldly things, and if they violate this golden rule, they will immediately be stripped of their Brahmins and reduced to untouchables.
After the improved plan was decided, Singh finally breathed a sigh of relief and was busy meeting the emperor. Zhu Jun was a lot more polite to him this time, promising to make him a high priest, Singh nodded his gratitude and recounted the prepared plan.
Zhu Jun listened carefully, constantly, he still accepted this plan, even better than it expected, he coughed, and said, "You did a good job, but although the doctrine has been revised, how should you preach it?" And how can it be convincing? ”
On this point, Ge is very confident: "Your Majesty, Brahmins are the highest authority in India, and they will be convinced by any Brahmin." I also propose to build temples in various places for His Majesty, who is the god of gods, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, the highest deity in India, and should build beautiful temples for worshippers. ”
Zhu Jun was very speechless about the gods and gods designed by Singh, and the gods of the gods were too funny, but it was okay, he took over all the gods by himself, as long as this concept was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there would be no one to rebel under the banner of gods in the future, so he nodded: "I will immediately allocate silver taels for people to build." ”
For three thousand years, Indians have lived under the rule of foreign races, if you really want to count it, I am afraid that every Indian will not be able to get rid of the Indian traitor, and Singh naturally does not feel ashamed, but feels that this is a matter of course.
After retreating, Xu Dachang, who was standing outside the door and waiting, walked up slowly, saluted, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor, Weichen looks at the words and deeds of the Indian natives, as long as the doctrine is changed, the Ming Dynasty's rule over India will be over." The emperor acted vigorously and resolutely, and made the Indian natives surrender in three or two strokes, even if it was the Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors. ”
Freehand accepted this sycophant, this time the harvest of Ceylon Island is absolutely worth it, the whole India is firmly in their own hands from now on, even if there are some Indians who are resistant to the new doctrine, but a hundred years later, when everyone has embraced the improved Hinduism, the rule of the Han people in India is really stronger than the iron bucket, and there is no fear of any rebellion, even if there is a rise of foreign races, Zhu Jun also believes,' The heroic Indians will not hesitate to accept the call of the Ming Emperor, desperately defending the Ming Dynasty against foreign aggression, what is more terrible in this world than religious spiritual control?
Zhu Jun glanced at Xu Dachang appreciatively: "I remember the merits, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of this matter, as long as the monks go back to the temple to preach the teachings, I'm afraid that the recruits in the colonial legion will be alive and well." ”
Zhu Jun's tone of speech was like a homely touch, Xu Dachang listened to it with a warm heart, knowing that he had won the emperor's trust, he was in ecstasy, but his mouth was modest: "The emperor is ashamed of Weichen, Weichen is a body of guilt, he made a mistake in the past, the emperor can not blame the past is already the emperor's grace, Weichen only wants to do his best to make up for the fault, this merit is not daring."
