From reverence and trust in Buddhism, to suspicion and hesitation, to anger and contempt at this time......

In just half a day, Sun Ning made the hundreds of thousands of Jinling people's attitudes towards Buddhist monks change 180 degrees.

Feeling the anger of the people below, he knew the time was ripe.

At that moment, he spoke loudly again: "I really can't believe that in my great transcendence of the world, Lang Lang Qiankun, in this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, there is still such a group of lawless, hypocritical and extremely evil people.

"Under the guise of Buddhism, you are doing things that endanger countless innocent people, and you are really in vain!

"Now that I have arrived in Jiangnan today, and I know all the evil deeds of you and other Buddhism, I must no longer let you go, and let you continue to harm Jiangnan and the people. You will have to pay the worst price for your wickedness.

"If I don't kill you, how can I calm the anger of the people, if I don't kill you, what face do I have to stand in Jiangnan, so that the people of the world will respect me as the emperor!"

Feeling the strong killing intent in his words, the monks were really frightened at this time, and immediately someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor spares your life, we are just doing things according to the will of the deacon monks, we ......."

"Even if you are not the mastermind, the sins you have committed are enough to make you die dozens of times. Now as long as you live, it's already cheaper for you."

Sun Ning quickly interrupted their plea for mercy, quickly raised his hand, and slashed down again: "Behead these monks and others on the spot to comfort the suffering people in Jiangnan!"

"Your Majesty spares your life...... and the monks were struggling to get up and say anything.

But the officers and soldiers behind them no longer gave them such a chance, and immediately someone stepped forward, kicked them out, kicked them down and stepped on them, and then one by one the steel knives were unsheathed, and with a loud shout, "Cut!" The word, the knife has fallen.

Blood splattered, and the body and head separated.

The shiny heads rolled out with blood like this, and dozens of monks who had just been brought in were beheaded in public. Only corpses were left behind, and pools of blood.

This bloody and cruel scene shocked all the people, and after a while, the screams were already loud, and many people who were close to the place of torture retreated in shock, causing the huge crowd to move a long distance for the future.

This was indeed too terrifying, even though the people were already angry at these monks who had deceived them, and they hated to kill them with their own hands. However, the scene of dozens of monks being killed and beheaded in the blink of an eye still had a great impact on them, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

Sun Ning was not satisfied, and when he saw this, he shouted loudly: "The people of Jinling City, the people of Jiangnan - over the years, because many officials of the imperial court have not done their work effectively, because of the turmoil in the world, the imperial court is beyond its strength, so that you have suffered too much suffering and blinding.

"But after today, everything will be different. These murderers who have oppressed you and forced you will be severely punished by the imperial court.

"Especially these guys who are swaggering and deceiving under the banner of Buddhism, and they are not counting on harm, and they are what the imperial court will do its best to eliminate next.

"Spread my decree that from now on, all Buddhist temples will be banned, and all the monks must be returned to the laity within half a month, and those who have served as deacons in the temples will be wanted by the government and severely punished according to their crimes.

"As for the temple property of each temple and so on, all the temples will be demolished, the Buddha statues will be toppled and refined, and the land and land will be carefully inspected by the government and distributed to the people who were once oppressed by the temple, so that everyone can live a stable and good life again!"

Sun Ning's decision shocked everyone again, but in an instant, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Whether or not they have been oppressed by Buddhism, for every person, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to turn over.

Before, because of the existence of the Hao clan and the Buddhist sect, too many people in Jiangnan had no future, and now, the two forces that suppressed them are gone, and they will be the masters again.

As for whether the destruction of the temple and the complete defeat of Buddhism will have a bad impact on itself, it will be blamed by the Buddha

The family quickly left it behind just thinking about it.

If the true Buddha had a spirit, it would be impossible for the monks of the monasteries to do so many angry deeds. If the Buddha really had a spirit, those monks would not have been easily captured by the officers and soldiers, and now they were easily cut off in front of everyone.

At this moment, the chains of the Buddhist Gate that had been binding their minds and allowing them to choose to obey were finally split by Sun Ning, and then, it was time to counterattack the Buddhist Gate.

Jiangnan's act of exterminating Buddha finally started in Jinling.

The imperial court's attack on Buddhism has long been ready to start, and after it is fully supported by the people on this day, the next action is naturally extremely rapid.

In just three days, dozens of monasteries, large and small, in Jinling were all surrounded, and the monks in the monasteries had no time to react at all, and they were forcibly taken away by the official army.

Then, it is to tear down the outer walls and doors of all Buddhist temples, and then collect all the property books and books in the temple, and tear down all the clay Buddha statues.

In the rumbling sound of the collapse of the Buddha statue, the reverence of the people of Jinling for the Buddha is rapidly dissipating.

Originally, the Buddha was a lofty being, and no one dared to blaspheme the noble existence.

The body of the Buddha is several feet high, and whenever people come to it, they can't help but want to bow down and kowtow, as if they will be blamed by the gods and Buddhas if they don't do so, let alone touch such Buddha statues with their hands.

But now the facts tell everyone that the Buddha statues are just some clay sculptures and wood carvings, and their sublime greatness is just a means used by monks to deceive the people. Destroying them will not bring any calamity, but will swear a new life!

As a result, more people joined in this action to destroy the Buddha, and hundreds of ordinary people also followed the officers and soldiers to rush into the monasteries, using all their strength to overturn and smash the Buddha statues, watching them turn into a pile of rubble.

During this period, many people also took the opportunity to obtain a large amount of money collected in the temple. When the news was revealed, more people joined in......

As for the bronze or even gold Buddha statues that cost more money to cast, the government directly pulled them away, and set up a steel furnace in the original Jiming Temple in the city, and refined all these gold and bronze Buddha statues into water, and then recast them into weapons and property, and sent them to the treasury belonging to the imperial court.

Only this first round of extermination of Buddha in Jinling allowed the imperial court to obtain an income of more than 10 million taels of silver. For Sun Ning, this is just the beginning, and the large-scale extermination of Buddha in Jiangnan is the next thing to do!
