Chapter 290: Landing and Rooting in the New Ming Sect

Zhao Yu's words were not high-pitched, but in the ears of everyone, they were deafening and awe-inspiring.

The Chuzhou army is said to have grown stronger, and has long developed from the initial remnants of several thousand Wuxing Banners to a large army of more than 100,000 people now. Among them, there are old subordinates who followed all the way at the beginning, there are new troops recruited later, some are from Mingjiao, and some are from non-Mingjiao, Chuzhou or northern Anhui, western Zhejiang, and so on.

The instinct of man is to form alliances, and with so many people gathered in one place, many factions naturally arise. Even Xu Da, as the commander-in-chief, will inevitably take care of the veterans of the Mingjiao sect when he dispatches the generals, and it is difficult to be impartial. The Chuzhou Army is now in a period of vigorous development, and these micro-frictions and contradictions can naturally be covered up to the fullest, but if they accumulate on this, once the development enters a bottleneck period, it will become an important problem restricting the development of the Chuzhou Army.

Zhao Yu took precautions and used the incident in Yangzhou to knock on everyone, although there was no lack of exaggeration, but it was not a precautionary measure, and it was a warning bell for everyone. Although it may not be possible to eradicate this hidden danger, it is better to make people vigilant than to ignore it. Especially in the face of overcoming the great achievement of Jiqing, if there is a slight bias, I am afraid that it will brew into an irreconcilable contradiction.

Although the generals may not be able to fully understand Zhao Yu's painstaking efforts, they all sweat on their foreheads and bowed: "Remember the teachings of the chief manager!"

Skipping this section, Zhao Yu discussed with the generals the plan to launch a general attack on Jiqing. The more you reach the last moment, the more cautious you must beware of the enemy's frantic counterattack before dying. Moreover, the pacification of the army after conquering Jiqing should also be prepared in advance.

Zhao Yu just discussed military measures with Xu Da and others, and spent most of his time listening. After all, he has not been on the front line for a long time, and his understanding of the situation around Jiqing is far less profound than that of Xu Da and other generals.

This discussion lasted until late at night, and the general direction was finally finalized, and as for the specific details, it was up to the generals from all walks of life to respond to the situation, but it was not possible to plan in too much detail and become rigid.

After the meeting, Rao is Zhao Yu was profound, but he still felt exhausted, so he rested in the camp for a night.

On the second day, Zhao Yu left the camp and rushed back to Chuzhou with Wei Yixiao. Although this battle is crucial, Zhao Yu believes in the ability of Xu Da and other generals, and staying here will affect the performance of the generals. Moreover, at such a critical juncture, the rear of Chuzhou must also have its own town.

The city of Chuzhou is still thriving, and countless Mingjiao believers come here from all over the world every day. They were thrilled with the excitement of a pilgrimage, and although they were tired from the long journey, and even more dangerous because of the chaos of the army, all this was not enough to quench the excitement that surged in their hearts.

In order to accommodate these Ming Christians who came to defect with sincerity, Chuzhou City spent a lot of money, and even reached a situation where it was beyond its means. When Zhao Yu left Chuzhou, although he decided on the intention plan to help the people with work, he hurried to Yangzhou before he could implement it. If this matter is to be implemented, it must be related to the cooperation of all parties, and Liu Bowen and other officials of the governor's office can only make sufficient preparations in advance, but they have not yet been officially implemented.

After several years of painstaking operation, Chuzhou has ushered in the opportunity to take off, and its disadvantages as a regional center have gradually been revealed, the potential for development is about to be exhausted, and it is imperative to transfer to Jiqing. However, all this will have to wait until the actual Jiqing is won before it can be put on the agenda.

At this time, the Ming King Dharma held outside Chuzhou City has come to an end, and the Ming Christians who filled the streets and alleys of Chuzhou City have been edified by nearly a month of preaching, and the violent atmosphere in the original chest has faded a lot, and has turned into a lot more peaceful atmosphere. Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao walked on the street, and along the road, many Ming believers could be seen sitting on the ground in the teahouse, in front of the gatehouse, and even on the side of the street, talking eloquently, and naturally talking about the new doctrine compiled by Zhao Yu and Yang Xiao and others.

The new doctrine of Mingjiao is different from the previous teachings of the missionary religion, which is no longer a complete negation of everything at present, but only arouses the dissatisfaction and unwillingness of the present world in the hearts of the people, throws away many remarks that were originally full of violence and demagoguery, and then fills in many Confucian, Buddhist, and even Taoist concepts of righteousness and peace.

In the past, although the teachings of Mingjiao were extremely demagogic among the toiling masses and could easily incite people, in fact, most of these teachings were too extreme and overkill. For example, Zhang Zhong, Liu Bowen and other people of insight who have extraordinary opinions themselves can naturally take the essence of it and discard its dross. But for most Mingjiaos, they can't tell the difference between good and bad arguments, and they just accept them all. The impact of this is that the surname has become irritable and irritable, and the Ming Sect of all dynasties has been in turmoil, and they have been denounced as the likes of the Demon Sect.

In fact, not only ordinary sect members, but even Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao and other real leaders of the Ming Sect were more or less influenced by that radical doctrine, and their surnames were all extreme, and then they were not accepted by the orthodox martial arts.

Zhao Yu wants to change the public's perception of Mingjiao, but he does not start from the so-called benevolence and righteousness that cannot touch the fundamentals, but to truly completely reverse the current atmosphere of Mingjiao from the inside out. The fundamental canonical doctrine of Mingjiao is the most important link in this change.

Although such a change may not have immediate results, it can minimize the consequences. It is true that deliberately befriending famous and decent families, and even currying favor regardless of the cost, may temporarily allow Mingjiao to be temporarily accepted by the mainstream of Middle-earth and ease the originally grim relationship. But in fact, this is not a reversal of the essence of Mingjiao, and some of the characteristics of mutual dislike between the two sides have not been diluted because of this. Even if we can tolerate each other for a while, if the bond that holds them together is broken, the relationship between them will become more and more tense.

What's more, Zhao Yu is not a spleen surname who is willing to compromise and do things on his own face at all. Either you don't do it, or you do it thoroughly, and instead of doing anything wrong, it will do great harm.

He squatted on the corner of the street regardless of his image, watching a gray-haired old man foaming at the mouth and talking about the new scriptures he had heard at the Ming King Festival. Seeing this, Wei Yixiao had no choice but to squat beside Zhao Yu and be his companion.

The old man spoke with great interest, and many people around him listened to it with relish, but occasionally some people put forward different opinions, but they were old concepts that everyone knew and deeply ingrained. Even Wei smiled and frowned for a moment to listen, and then raised his hand to point out several contradictions in the old man's words that were contrary to the previous teachings.

The old man was not annoyed when he heard the questioning, but said with a smile: "The king of the present world is immaculate and flawless, he is merciful and compassionate, broad-minded, and can tolerate mistakes, but he points them out and makes people correct them. Such as selfishness, narrow-mindedness, extreme violence, are all evil and poisonous thoughts in the old world. We are fortunate to be bathed in the light of the glory of the Ming King, and we must spread this glory to more people. If anyone else does not believe, we will persuade him. If he doesn't believe him anymore, we still have to persuade him, and at the same time, we must show him what is right, so that he can understand the benefits that can be obtained by bathing in the glory of the Ming King. This is the true and righteous doctrine, and the king of Ming brought down from the top of the light of the Western Regions and ordered his messenger to spread it to us, so that we may understand our own shallowness and mistakes, and let us correct them. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyebrows showed a deep look of thought. How could there be a mistake in the scriptures that the Ming King brought down from the light? Then it seems that the teachings that they knew in the past must have been wrong.

At this time, these people did not know that the incomparably noble King Ming in their minds was sitting on the street like them, unconcerned about the dust raised in the street.

Zhao Yu nodded as he listened, this set of manager teachings did not go as he feared, or did not touch the fundamental changes, or overkill and lost the essence of Mingjiao. Instead, they found a very good entry point in it, taking care of each other, which can be regarded as neutral and peaceful, but there is no lack of positivity. Although it takes a long time to completely reverse those deep-rooted thoughts in the hearts of Ming believers, it will take a long time to spread and guide, but this is not an overnight thing, and Zhao Yu has enough patience to wait.

It seems that the Exegesis Bureau headed by Yang Xiao and Zhu Sheng must have spent hard work during their absence, to achieve such fruitful results. Zhao Yu can predict that if this set of theoretical teachings of Mingjiao is fully mature and popularized, it will not only have a reborn change in the Ming Church, but will even have a great impact on Shilin. Even if it does not become mainstream in the future, it will certainly have a profound impact on the most tolerant and accepting Confucian ideas, and will no longer be excluded from the mainstream as it has been for hundreds of years.

Such a gratifying result really made Zhao Yu inexplicably excited, even happier than forcing Miao Jun to surrender. After all, Miao Jun's external force is admittedly gratifying, and even if it can't be subdued, it is not an unbearable loss. On the contrary, Mingjiao is the foundation of his own plot for the world, and if he can truly be accepted by mainstream scholars and doctors, the help to him will be immeasurable. Moreover, Zhao Yu no longer has to face the difficult trade-off between the Ming sect and the Confucian scholars, but can really be inclusive and fully acceptable.

Seeing Wei Yixiao glaring and arguing with the old man, Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and pulled him, then got up and patted the dust on his body and went to the Chuzhou Mansion.

He was in a very brisk mood, and even suddenly wondered if he would also let those outstanding people of the three religions and nine streams join the Exegesis Bureau, so that the teachings of the Deming Sect can truly become a knowledge that integrates hundreds of schools of thought and the strengths of hundreds of schools, not only has advanced scripture theories, but also covers the fulfillments that can really be used in practice!

Although this idea is **, Zhao Yu is also afraid that this will change the teachings of Mingjiao into something completely nondescript. Whether it is feasible or not, we have to ask Yang Xiao and Zhu Sheng, the two heads of the Interpretation Bureau, what they mean.

In short, although Mingjiao originated in Persia, Zhao Yu wanted to completely change it into a theory that was rooted in Middle-earth and feasible, instead of wandering outside the mainstream and being denounced as a fallacy! Even, if the time is ripe, he can try to feed back the theory of Mingjiao in Middle-earth to the Persian Sect, and spread the influence of Middle-earth to more distant lands through the way of the Persian Sect!
