Originally, there were no Buddhist activities in Myanmar, and there were a large number of monks wandering around, and the history is not very long.

If you really want to talk about it, it is because of the conflict of interests between the Sri Lankan Sangha community, which broke out into a fierce factional struggle, and after the killing of the corpses in a sea of blood, some monks came to the direct area of Lower Burma in order to flee for their lives.

After that, the Esoteric religion was introduced to the Bagan region through Bengal, and it merged with the local Buddhism of Myanmar to form the Ali religion, which was out of control.

Aliism is a kind of cult, and it belongs to the crooked and heretical ways that everyone gets and condemns.

This cult is a vicious place to hide filth and filth, they have no precepts, they do not restrict drinking, they encourage eating meat, and they are crazy about raising women (there are dozens or hundreds of women between the ages of twelve and twenty in every temple).

It is precisely because this kind of cult organization is able to carry the sign of the Buddha's master, has a supreme social status, and can do whatever it wants without any restrictions, so it has been welcomed by almost everyone.

In less than 100 years, more than 1,000 temples and more than 5,000 pagodas were built in Bagan, Ava, Sakang (now Yangon) and other places.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fertile and rich land of central and southern Myanmar has no other buildings except for dense temples, pagodas, and royal palaces, and has become the most inconceivably evil place in the world.

The tribal chiefs, the tribal princes, and the Sangha are the supreme beings of Burma, who are not only shameless, impoverished and extravagant, but also do all kinds of evil, and become the root cause of all the evils in Myanmar.

Because of their enormous power and the intertwined relationships between the various monastic communities and tribes in order to compete for interests, no one dared to shake the foundation of their pleasures.

Over time, the Sangha gradually overrode the tribes and became a powerful group of forces in a supreme position.

The Xiong family army came over, and the remnants of Tarong in the Donghu Kingdom were nowhere to be found, and there were no problems for the time being.

However, in order to solve the problem of eating for the common people, Prince Xiong ordered the Bulgud elephant military camp to forcibly expropriate the grain of the temples, which directly involved the core interests of the Sangha, and this kind of thing has not happened for hundreds of years.

Prince Xiong was discussing the future construction with Hou Mingde, the governor of Ava Province, when Fan Hu, the chief soldier of Ava Province, suddenly hurried over:

"My lord, Lord Hou: Just now, the Malay reported that the Sangha around Bagan had launched a riot. At present, more than 16,000 monks from more than 100 temples have been concentrated, 50,000 or 60,000 people have been coerced, and a total of more than 70,000 people have besieged the city of Bagan. My troops are currently on the defensive, what should I do?"

Hou Mingde had a smile on his face, looked at Xiong Chu quietly, but was silent.

Xiong Chu picked up the teacup and took a sip: "What do you see me doing? You are the governor of a province, there is a problem on your own territory, why are you looking at me?"

Hou Mingde was unmoved: "Isn't this the situation that the lord wants to see? Now that this situation has been formed, who can I look at if I don't look at this lord?

Xiong Chu was also amused: "The situation I want to see is that the fertile land should not be occupied by people, but should be handed over to the common people to cultivate, not that I want to see others rebel." ”

Hou Mingde rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If others don't rebel, how can the lord get fertile land in the name of righteousness, and how can he give it to the people to cultivate?"

"This is a matter of being willing to fight and be killed, of course I have to watch the lord. As the governor of a province, I am most concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood. As for whether there was a rebellion, that was a matter for the chief officer. ”

When Fan Hu saw that he was being left to dry, he immediately became anxious: "Lord, Lord Hou, what are you two playing dumb riddles? The situation in Bagan is already very dangerous. For the perennial war, the city of Bagan was completely destroyed. Sixty or seventy thousand people besieged day and night, and they would definitely not be able to hold it. ”

Xiong Chu's face finally turned cold: "What is the specific news you got, are there any dead people? What I am talking about are our people killed?"

Fan Hu shook his head: "I rushed over just after receiving the news, and there is no talk of killing people yet." ”

Hou Mingde finally began to exercise his duties as governor: "Order the defenders of Bagan City to shrink their defensive lines, take defensive measures with all their might, and not take the initiative to attack." ”

"Newspaper-" The scout's shrill voice suddenly came in: "Report to the lord: We have just transferred to Bagan City, and more than 30 people have been killed. At present, the number of people besieging the city of Bagan is increasing, and the number has exceeded 150,000. They actually began to set up bamboo platoons, apparently preparing to attack our naval fleet. ”

Xiong Chu's face became more and more ugly, but he still looked at Hou Mingde and did not make a sound.

"I didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly, it seems that the cult organization in this place is very capable of operating. There is no longer any need to wait. This is a huge bane, and if it is not eradicated in time, it will surely cause endless troubles. ”

Hou Mingde slapped the case: "Fan Hu, I order you to be the main general of the counterinsurgency, unify the command of the defenders of Ava City, Bagan City, and Magway City, and at the same time let Zhong Guozhu's sailors assist, kill all the rebels, and completely quell the riot!"

As soon as Fan Hu left, Prince Xiong had already spoken to the scouts who were waiting for orders: "Pass the order: the Bulgud Elephant Military Camp and the Agu Ri Zedang Camp will take immediate action and adopt a situation of east-west attack to completely sweep all the temples in the territory. ”

"All the people inside have been arrested, but the building cannot be destroyed, and it will be transformed into a school in the future, and now all of them will be sealed. If anyone resists, they will be killed!"

The scout battalion immediately dispatched fast horses to urgently inform the Wanlian army division in the east to make emergency preparations. If there is an abnormality in the Sangha in the territory, immediately preemptively strike and decisively attack to prevent future troubles. ”

The scout turned to go out, and Hou Mingde asked softly, "Lord, is this okay?"

"Of course it's not enough!" Prince Xiong shook his head, "However, the next thing is your Governor's business." Religious interference in government affairs will inevitably lead to calamity to society, and this has been proven by the history of the past 1,000 years. We are the presiding party, shouldering the heavy responsibility of educating the people of Lebanese, and we must not allow history to repeat itself. ”

Hou Mingde seemed to be a little hesitant: "If you want to do it once and for all, you must take this opportunity to uproot the cult organization." However, if such drastic measures are taken now before the overall situation is decided, will it have an adverse impact on the pacification of the whole of Myanmar in the future?"

Shaking his head, Prince Xiong's mood was a little heavy: "Actually, I didn't want to kill so many people, but since I entered Myanmar, I have traveled a lot." Namkan, Manmo, Ava, all the way, I didn't see anything except temples and pagodas. ”

Emperor Taizu has always emphasized acting according to the law, but the monks here are so high that no one can control them. The laws of the state are not binding on them in the slightest, not to mention that they are able to respond to every call, and they are not the state at all, but a group of bandits. ”

"These people are very rich, but the local people don't have enough to eat. Even so, the common people preferred to believe their nonsense, and did not have the slightest affection and reverence for the imperial court. This is not progress, but a barbarism, and definitely not the result I want to see. ”

"It is precisely because the overall situation is undecided now, so we can simply completely break the situation here and turn it into chaos in the world, so as to complete the historical task of breaking the country and rebuilding. The sudden outburst of the Sangha to incite a riot is definitely not an isolated incident, and there must be more forces behind it. ”

Hou Mingde closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "The lord is reasonable, a long pain is better than a short pain." Since it's a cancer, sooner or later it will have to be cut off, so let's do it! My only concern is that after this cleaning, the population density here will be much reduced. ”

Prince Xiong sighed: "If it is possible, try to immigrate from the mainland again." If it doesn't work, we'll stick to it for twenty years, and we'll be back to it. In short, I would like to make one point of view: Before the overall situation of the country is decided, no religion can be taken lightly. ”

"Religion is not indispensable, but it must be after various legal provisions have penetrated into the hearts of the people, and then selectively develop some religions, such as Taoism, which can be widely publicized at the appropriate time. Educate the people to cherish this life and not to pin their hopes on the illusory afterlife. ”

Mandeli had been standing beside the bear prince without speaking, and now she saw that the bear prince was depressed, so she stood up and said: "Childe, I have sent the guards, and they will observe the whole situation in secret, hoping that the guards can find the enemy's planner and capture it." ”

Hou Mingde hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't need to catch it back! If you find the enemy's presiding leader, you must execute it on the spot, and you must not set yourself on fire." Executed on the spot, the lord can be blamed on the rioters in the future. Once he is caught, the lord has no room to maneuver, which is not good. ”

Xiong Chu smiled bitterly: "Lord Hou, I am a killer and don't care about my image. More than ten years ago, many people called me a rebel and a demon. ”

"That's not good!" Hou Mingde shook his head: "In Myanmar, we can all be butchers, but you can't do it." In order to govern this place in the future, the lord needs to give a benevolent image. The people who participated in the riot will definitely be arrested in the end. ”

"After the vast majority of them are eliminated, the remaining part of the people will need to be pardoned by the lord before they are beheaded, so as to win the hearts of the people. If you want to govern this place well, it is an indispensable means to give grace and power. ”

This is the way of the monarch and the ministers, of course Prince Xiong understands, because Miao Sanguan once specifically talked about these truths.

Starting from the overall situation, Prince Xiong had no choice but to nod to Mandale: "Yiqiē will do as Lord Hou instructs, let the girls clean their hands and feet, and don't make the world know." Once all the bosses have been disposed of, the corpses are to be hidden, and rumors are spread that the leaders have fled. ”

"The people were coerced into rebellion, which is actually a momentum. You secretly spread that the leaders have fled, and those people are just being used by people with ulterior motives, and the government will not pursue them, which will discourage the rebels, and then it will be easy to do. Destroying the monks is the goal, saving the people is the result, so let's pass the order. ”

After Mandeli went out, Hou Mingde suddenly asked: "Lord, what are you going to do next?" I finally decided to break the boat, and it seems that it is a bit anticlimactic to end like this, and I don't feel like I've exhausted my strength. ”

Xiong Chu smiled: "I know that no matter what it is, I can't hide it from you scholars who specialize in crooked ways." Yes, things will definitely not end like this, the good show is always behind, take your time and see. ”
