Chapter 11: Silver saddle shines on the white horse, crazy like a meteor

The "Grandpa Bai" mentioned by Ga Doumei lives in a small village on the south bank. After Ye Zhao sent Hua Ji and Wei Yue Yiori back to Baoan City, Ga Doumei led the way to this small village.

In fact, the wooden bridge is only a few miles away from Baoan City, otherwise the previous dynasty would not have built a city here. It was just that Ye Zhao first traveled north and turned south, so he seemed far away.

The village where "Grandpa Bai" is located is obviously a Huiren tribe. The dome mosque with a strong Arabic style in the village can be seen from a distance.

Many of the villages in Xunhua today do not have formal names, and the villages where "Grandpa Bai" is located are usually called Henan.

Ga Doumei said that the Hui Hui people in Henan Village did not participate in the revenge killing of the Hui Han Dynasty. After "Ha Shuai" entered Shaanxi, some Han armed forces wanted to cross the river to slaughter Hui people in Henan, but were dissuaded by the infantry battalion stationed in Bao'an City.

In fact, most of the people involved in the revenge of the Hui Han Dynasty were Hui people who were called "Han Hui" by Sarah Hui. In today's world, the distinction between nations is really weak, far from being clearly different from later generations. It is said that when Mr. Zhongshan was founding his country, he wanted to distinguish between Manchu and Han, but Zhongzheng said that he was asking for trouble and believed that there was only one Chinese nation in the world, which was the fusion of various clans, which was also explained in his "Growth and Development of the Chinese Nation".

Of course, ethnic differences cannot be summarized in a general way by a Chinese nation. Ye Zhao is always thinking about the ethnic policies of the new dynasty, but he will never insist on adding it to the identity file proof documents such as household registration and ID cards in the future. This is beyond doubt.

Harichi and Shenbao entered Shaanxi and Gansu. One was revered as "Harmaster" by the local Han people, and the other was respected as "Guangzhou". However, there was obviously a gap with Zuo Zongtang's "Zuo Ye" at that time. It was probably because the Royal Army highlighted the power of the royal family. Therefore, among the Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu, "Shengde Ye" was simply a god and Buddha again, and was the savior and benefactor of all Han people. The prestige was rare in ancient and modern times.

Ye Zhao didn't care about the reputation of the royal family. Ye Zhao cared about how to make China a China of all ethnic groups. Among them, means of wining over, conspiracy, blood and other means are essential. Even if they are despicable, they are for the long-term stability of the future. However, where is the entry point?

In front of the mosque, Ye Zhao silently lit a cigarette.

Today is Friday's Day of the Day of the Muslims listen to the Imam's lecture after the ceremony. The door of the mosque is open and you can see the ocean made of small white round hats inside.

"Grandpa Bai" is also the imam of this mosque. When the Muslim white hat ocean walked out of the mosque quietly and calmly, Ye Zhao slowly snatched out the cigarette butts. Looking at the satisfied expression on the Muslims' faces, it seemed as if he had just been bathed in the glory of Allah. Ye Zhao was inexplicably shocked. Sometimes the impact of religion on people's hearts is far beyond anything.

This mosque is very large, and it can be seen that many Muslims are not from the village, but from all directions, with white round hats, transforming into tributaries and dispersing in all directions.

"Grandpa Bai" received the news from Ga Doumei and invited Ye Zhao to his house with a kind face.

The house with a Muslim style, rectangular shape, straight edges and right angles, mud walls and square tops, and gray colors make Ye Zhao feel like he has entered the medieval Arab world in the game.

"Grandpa Bai" is an old man, but it is difficult to tell his age from his appearance. He wore a white dome hat and a wide white robe, his face was covered with fine frowns, his eyes were full of kindness, or, as a skeptic, Ye Zhao never thought people too friendly.

After the family brought the cup of tea, Grandpa Bai sighed and said, "Master Lu, are you here for my granddaughter? May Allah forgive this reckless and pitiful girl. When the lost girl returns to her hometown, I will personally tie her up to the adult's tent to atone for her sins."

Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at Ga Doumei in surprise. I wonder which granddaughter of Imam Bai was?

Ga Doumei had a slightly uncomfortable face. Unexpectedly, Grandpa Bai had a wrong idea and took the initiative to mention "the snow lotus of Bayan Rongge", which is Grandpa Bai's granddaughter Afafu. Afafu means "chastity", so Afafu's Chinese name is Bai Yuzhen.

Afafu and his father had long moved to the Rongge area of ​​Bayan. The 12th Battalion Hui riots were in trouble. Afafu followed his father and led his tribe to respond. However, his troops were Hui, and all Han, and the banner they put forward was to fight against the Qing Dynasty, attack prefectures and counties, establish their own national names, and had conflicts with other Hui riots many times.

At that time, there were countless tyrants and miscellaneous taxes in Shaanxi and Gansu, which was completely rated as a ***. The people were living in poverty and the situation was extremely chaotic. The conflicts between the Hui and Han dynasties, the conflicts between officials and the people, the conflicts between religions, the revenge between tribes, and various sharp oppositions were everywhere. The chaotic situation was hard to summarize.

But the Harichi tribe will not treat each other's chaos differently. As long as the sword is used to carry a sword, it will definitely be a massacre and cleaning. Many villages are everywhere, and as for militia and Han armed forces, there are even more countless people.

Afafu's father's armed forces were also surrounded by an infantry regiment and were almost massacred. Although Afafu's father escaped, he saw his brothers and brothers flowing into a river of blood and he has since become sick. He heard that he was paralyzed half of his body and was sent to Henan Village to recuperate.

Of course, these Gadou girls only heard about it and did not know whether Uncle Bai was really hidden in Henan Village. But now it is true that Afafu's father's remnants were led by Afafu. Under Afafu's leadership, the remnants fought with Han armed forces from all over the country. Although only more than a hundred people in his troops escaped, they were all knights, coming and going like the wind, which made the Han armed forces a headache. They were one of the only remaining Hui armed forces in the Bayan Rongge area. Because they had a high reputation in the minds of the Han people in the Bayan Rongge area, when they encountered officers, soldiers and militia groups coming to suppress them, someone informed them. Therefore, Afafu and his remnants could hide and survive in the Bayan Rongge area.

Nowadays, the Huifeng storm has gradually subsided. The remaining Hui people were either ordered to migrate to the mainland or shivered under the intimidation of butcher knives. The 12th Battalion Hui Ni and various places responded to Hui Ni, and hundreds of thousands of people were almost killed. In addition, those who were retaliated and massacred were afraid that no less than one million people would die. The population structure of the entire Shaanxi and Gansu has undergone earth-shaking changes since then. In the most organized 12th Battalion Hui Ni, only more than 10,000 people fled to the ***, and Harichi stationed troops in Suzhou, ready to go.

Seeing that Ye Zhao was not sure about Afafu and her father, Grandpa Bai did not hide it. He told it from beginning to end, and sighed: "Afafu was blinded by the dark clouds. Poor child, I hope she can return to the future."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and refused to comment, saying that he was resisting the previous dynasty. But in the current environment of revenge in the Han Dynasty, who can guarantee that there were no unjustly dead under his sword? What's more, the new dynasty was established, and the rebellious armed forces would inevitably be wiped out.

I sighed in my heart, not knowing how this bloody killing destined to be recorded in history will be judged by later generations. Merits and demerits will be explained from different perspectives and different historical stages.

Harric may be called a "butcher" in later generations. His actions are indeed a butcher now, but Ye Zhao completely acknowledged his approach. There is no perfect solution to many things in this world.

Imam Bai smiled gently and said, "Last night, Allah presented me a wonderful message, prophesy that the believers of Allah will usher in a warm spring. Since the Lord did not come for Afaf, he must be the messenger of Allah, who pointed out the path to spring for us."

Ye Zhao wanted to pacify the northwest and naturally had an in-depth understanding of Islam, but he did not expect that Mr. Bai's words and deeds were actually deviating from Sunni doctrines. For example, the prophet, even if it was a private name that was convinced by Muslims in this area, he himself should not allow this statement to spread.

The messenger is even more exaggerated. You should know that the messenger of Allah has a higher status than the prophet in Islamic teachings. Legend has it that Allah sent more than 10,000 prophets, but all of them have scripture records.

It is even more strange to say that he, as a pagan, has become the messenger of Allah. This is not a casual praise. When it comes to Allah, Muslims cannot ignore every word when speaking.

But then again, to trace the origin, Confucius, Sakyamuni, and Socrates are all considered to be prophets sent by Allah in Muslim doctrines, bringing the Word of Allah, but their message has been changed, and there is a difference between them and Islamic beliefs.

So it is understandable to call a pagan a messenger, but this old man put the glory of the "messenger" on the head of a Han brigade commander? Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at the Bai Imam again. Could it be that this old man is really good at it? Or did Mr. Bai see countless people and see some clues about himself?

Ye Zhaopin's tea ceremony: "Aren't the old man worried about the safety of his son and granddaughter?"

Imam Bai put his hands on his chest: "Everything is guided by Allah."

Ye Zhao said: "Is it true that the blood that Muslims in Shaanxi and Gansu that were killed in the Shaanxi-Gansu area was also Allah's instructions?" Although he could not guess his true intentions, he could see that the old man was not a paranoid Muslim, nor a crazy believer, so Ye Zhao didn't care about stabbing his wound with a needle.

The white imam looked solemn and said, "They are Muslims sinners."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, which was exactly the same as the imams of later generations accused them of *** and others.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao said, "Old sir, to you, I am a pagan. If I say something, please forgive me if I don't."

Imam Bai said quietly: "You are our friend."

Ye Zhao said: "Maybe, I also hope to make friends with the old man. According to the laws of the new dynasty empire, everyone is equal in the territory and religion is equal. Moreover, I will no longer force Muslim men to keep their braids. I wonder what the old man thinks?"

Under the rule of the previous dynasty, all ethnic groups with deeper sinicization had to keep braids. For example, Hui men in Shaanxi and Gansu would have to be braids, while Tibetans and Uyghurs only needed nobles to keep braids. The rest regarded them as monks and ignored them.

It is extremely ironic to say that it is forcing the Han people to keep braids because they attach importance to the Han people. Of course, this kind of emphasis is fear, to break the backbone of the Han people. If the monks want to keep braids, they have to become nobles first.

Imam Bai said: "It's extremely enlightened, so I don't agree with Afafu and her father continuing to fight against the Emperor's team."

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "They will definitely be wiped out by the officers and soldiers."

Imam Bai remained silent.

Ye Zhao also said: "It is rumored that Emperor Shengde of the Empire was the messenger of the gods, the incarnation of God Haotian on earth, the messenger of Western Buddhas, and the saint appointed by Allah in this world. His Majesty the Emperor will benefit all believers of the religion. What do you think?"

Imam Bai was silent for a while and said, "I hope all this is true, it is the revelation of Allah."

Ye Zhao said: "I am afraid that under the rule of the Great Emperor, the believers of all religions will usher in spring, but the believers of Allah will enter the cold winter."

"Oh? I don't understand what sir." Imam Bai looked at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao said: "I think the Halal Church has misinterpreted the teachings since Muhammad. It is too exclusive and aggressive. In this world, except for Muslims, we pagans, are you called Kaffier? In your teachings, Muslims are noble and holy, and Kaffier is all about to be educated. Muslims cannot fall in love with Kaffier. Kaffier is cursed, right?"

Drinking a tea, Ye Zhao said again: "I can assert that your paranoid and narrow-mindedness of the Halal Church will be difficult to gain a foothold in the empire. In my opinion, whether it is Halalism, Jesus, Taoism, Lamaism, or the average status, no distinction between high and low, we should encourage people to do good and do the right way. If we blindly hold the doctrine that is different from our race, in the future empire territory, there will be no soil for survival."

If it were a fanatical Muslim, he would have changed his qualities at this time, but the white imam just kept silent.

Ye Zhao said again: "Does the old man really think that Saint Confucius and Shakyamuni are all prophets of the noble religion?"

Finally, Imam Bai sighed deeply and said, "So, when I explain the doctrine, I persuade believers to be good. Kaffile, who lives in the fire forever, according to the Qur'an, is the original intention of the coverer. The farmer sows the seeds and covers the soil, and is called Kaffile. In the Qur'an, it originally refers to the ignorant who is unwilling to explain the doctrine to those who are not believers. It is misinterpreted by later generations as unbelievers, causing various disputes and losing the true meaning of Allah. I have been correcting this when I interpret the doctrine to those who believers."

Ye Zhao said: "The old man has done a lot of painstaking efforts, but this is just one of the many fallacies of the misinterpretation of the Quran by the religion. For example, the intermarriage between believers and non-believers, Allah will definitely not impose interference. It is just a custom that later people misinterpret the doctrine and slowly formed."

Ye Zhao never thought of abolishing a certain religion within the country, but the Muslim group is really paranoid. Even if they live with Han people, they only intermarry internally or marry non-Muslim girls into the house. This non-Muslim girl will gradually become Muslim. Muslim women rarely marry outside. If they intermarry with non-Muslim men, they often intermarry in the house, which will also influence them to become Muslim.

Ye Zhao hopes that through free intermarriage, this group can truly integrate into society with enlightenedness, so that it will not be misunderstood, and will not make people feel inexplicably fearful, and can also smooth out the edge of this group.

Religion should encourage people to be good and cleanses of their souls. It is a quiet harbor deep in the souls, and should not be the fuse of bloody war between believers and pagans.

It is just that how can Muslims and non-Muslims intermarry freely and gradually become accustomed to it? This is extremely difficult.

Imam Bai listened quietly, most of the time, with silence.

At dusk, Ye Zhao stood up and said goodbye. Imam Bai kept sending him out of the village entrance.

After returning to Baoan City, Ye Zhao was in a daze for several days. He always felt that he had found some tricks in the northwest, but he calmed down and had no clue.

In the past few days, Ye Zhao frowned more and more.

In the dormitory, Wei Yueyi played checkers with Hua Ji, and Ye Zhao asked them: "Are you still afraid? If you are not afraid, you will take you on a horse in two days." Thinking of the bloody scene that day, Ye Zhao really regretted taking them out.

"Hey, let me take one step, let me take one step." Ye Zhao saw Aiyue Yiori's chess piece jumping into his home, and hurriedly played tricks.

Weiyue Yiori naturally let him go, so he took the little boy back and helped Ye Zhao set up the chess.

Ye Zhao smiled helplessly. He was really worried about playing chess with these two little beauties, and he didn't have the slightest sense of competing.

"Master", there was a crisp sound of the female guard outside, slightly low. If the emperor had no reply, he would naturally retreat.

Ye Zhao asked, "What's wrong?"

"A man came to ask for help, saying that the imam from Henan Village was arrested."

Ye Zhaoqi said, "Who arrested me, what's going on?" Isn't the imam of Henan Village the same old Mr. Bai?

As he spoke, Ye Zhao put on his shoes and walked out.

The guard reported: "It seems that it was Wen Boli's fault. He heard from Huizi that dozens of horses came, saying that the old imam persuaded Huizi to put down his sword and gun, and offended the Huizi."

Ye Zhao frowned slightly. In fact, the defiance in Qinghai is actually not known how to define this armed force. It has the color of a revolutionary party and the bad habit of a bandit. Now I am afraid that the wildness and family and tribal colors of a border are added. It is difficult for such an armed force to define its nature.

Imam Bai must have fled to the south bank of the Yellow River to put down his swords and guns, but he didn't expect that there was a limb from the Li family army on the south bank of the Yellow River, which caused trouble from him. But he didn't know what would happen to him if the Li family army tied him up, and he would probably use it. After all, Imam Bai was regarded as a prophet by Islamists in this area. Although his influence was about a hundred miles in radius, Lu Yueting and Li Xiucheng naturally knew that the advantages that would give him to tie the civilians to his chariots.

If Imam Bai was regarded as a prophet in the entire Shaanxi and Gansu, I am afraid that Lu Yueting and others would have started to win over it.

Ye Zhao was suddenly stunned. Shaanxi and Gansu Prophet. Yes, how can I become a prophet in Xunhua? How can I not become a prophet in a state or even Shaanxi and Gansu Islam? Then extend it, what can I become a prophet of the entire Muslim?

Among Muslims, there are many sects, including Sunnis, Shiites, and the Sufis that have gradually emerged.

You can fully support a new sect, which will be the most moderate Muslim and will agree that Muslims and non-Muslims intermarriages. Just as you consider, religion is just a belief, and gradually eliminates those sharp and sharp edges.

Of course, if this sect wants to rise, without the support of the empire, including the support of force, it would be unimaginable that Imam Bai could recognize himself as a prophet in Xunhua, but outside Xunhua, let alone Lanzhou Prefecture. Most Muslims will not agree with him, let alone further regions.

But with the support of the empire, the situation will be very different. Religious sects often rely on force to rise. However, today is not the information age of later generations. The entire Muslim world is in chaos. It is absolutely not difficult to support a new sect.

If the New Desect is successful, then it is afraid that it will not only affect China. West Asia and even the entire Muslim world will change. Taking a step back ten thousand steps, even if the New Desect doctrine is not exported, it will only affect the Hui people and Uyghurs on the land of China. After all, when we come to the East, Islam is inevitably influenced by local culture. In addition, in this era, it is not impossible to completely localize it.

If the new sects arise, at the right time, Impression White will be named, and Islamic believers will definitely return to their hearts. How did the name of mosque come from? In fact, it was the enthronement of the Chinese emperor. During the Hongwu period, when the Hui people ordered the construction of the Jinling Lishu Temple, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the "Hundred Character Praise" in the imperial book: "Reduce evil and return to unity, the church name is Halal, Muhammad, and the most noble saint..." After that, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave the plaque "Mosque". Since then, the word "Halal" has gradually been widely accepted by the Islamic community. Therefore, the emperor in the dynasty era had an incomparable advantage on the influence of religion.

Of course, the rise of a new sect is indispensable for the right time, place and people. Especially for such a sect that is purposeful and artificially supported, it will encounter many difficulties when promoting its development. Even if it lacks luck, it will not be successful. This can only take one step at a time.
To be continued...
