Chapter 1158 Today is more longevity than Liuhou (Part 2)
Just like the Shaolin Temple Benshan, which owns dozens of lower courts and branch temples, specializes in lending and operating goods, and constantly regularly transfusions, it also occupies a large area of high-quality land in Dengfeng County, Zhengzhou; the temple group with Dafang Lingjiu Temple Xiantong Temple as the core also directly or indirectly entrusts the best land and properties located near Wutai Mountain, spanning several counties.
Therefore, the Taiping Army's mature countermeasures for similar monasteries were to take measures to deal with the different types of temples. After the number of people and industries in the corresponding temples was successively registered and completed, the hidden ones were naturally confiscated directly from the uninhabited land, and the excessive number of tenants in the declaration would also be transferred to civilian management on the grounds of affecting the practice and the purity of monks.
For small temples with less than ten people, the current status is temporarily maintained; the middle and upper-class figures of the large temples will be moved away from other places, first go to Taiyuan to attend study classes and then assigned to other places, and the monks below will force half or more than two-thirds of them to return to secular life according to the proportion allowed to offer at the right time. In the remaining temples, a certain number of monks who are literate will be recruited to join the popularization of basic education.
Then, monks from various sects who have been trained in the Taiping Governor's Office will be sent to take over the corresponding temples to preside over and operate affairs; in this way, these religious groups that do not work in disguise are divided and controlled in disguise, so that they will minimize the impact on the social productivity of the New Dynasty, and even harmless and public welfare; because all registered monks must be enrolled in the world for a period of time.
Then, under the arrangement and formulation of the Taiping Governor's Office, social service projects are provided for a period of time, such as regularly teaching children in Tunzhuang to learn literacy and counting, joining mobility propaganda teams to sing the Taiping Army's policies and guidelines, the latest laws, taxes and other contents. Although they may not be so willing at the beginning, they will easily get used to it after a long time in the environment.
Because the Taiping Army system is not used free of charge, they will also have basic treatment and supply that they want to use, and even corresponding symbolic salary. Therefore, in this process, it is easy to transform and transform these monks in the middle and lower classes. If they cannot withstand the bizarre test of the world, they will naturally be happy to see their success by requiring them to return to secular life; at least the base of production and taxation will be increased.
However, true practitioners who have become more and more monastic, also have a way out within the system. For example, in the Buddhist academies set up in the two capitals and ten prefectures, further learning includes diligent Buddhist teachings. At least, after leaving the relatively closed environment under the original temple system, few people can still adhere to the original set of values and cognitions.
After all, in addition to the Tantric Buddhism, which was popular among the later generations in the Ming and Qing dynasties because of the royal pursuit, and later generations on Mount Wutai, the local temples included many factions including the Tenglan Sect, Vinaya Sect, Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, Pure Land Sect, Tantric Sect, Zen Sect, and there were also many factions including the Tenglan Sect, which inherited the Dharma lineage of the two eminent monks, Kashemoteng and Zhu Falan; they were not so united and always harmonious with each other.
Of course, at the beginning, most people in the vested interest class would not be so willing to accept new changes, or even try to do something to resist. However, the troops stationed at the foot of the mountain and the firearms and equipment brought by it were prepared for this. As the saying goes, all beings are equal in front of cannons, and the party with steel and gunpowder is obviously much more equal.
Usually, as long as the cannon fires a shot, most people have seen the golden body of Buddha and Bodhisattva and the high walls to prevent bandits and thefts. Under the power of cannons, grenades and muskets, they naturally become a model of the good people who accept reality. After all, monks do not lie, and their bodies are very honest.
Of course, as an existence that dares to resist stubbornly without knowing the number of days, it is just ready to be used as a ready-made example to warn one of one to warn one hundred. Not to mention maintaining the final inheritance and being decent, in the end, there is basically no need for the temple itself. What the courts of the Three Martial Arts and One Sect have done in the past dynasties, can't our Taiping Army do? Do you think the knife is unhappy or the gunpowder is not very powerful?
Therefore, although Mount Wutai is known as a mountain, it is not actually steep and does not have many strong strongholds to defend. Although there are many monks in the temples on the mountain, they are not so stubborn that they can be treated with weapons without being damaged. In fact, foreign troops do not need to attack, as long as they surround each peak, those temples without any extra land will be hungry and cry.
Therefore, the so-called jokes about Yang Wulang fighting against the enemy based on Mount Wutai were just legends. So, not long after, the temple headed by Dafang Lingjiu Temple, Xiantong Temple, still bowed and accepted the reality and handed over many famous deeds and monk books, and then accepted the distinction from the Taiping Army in the most spacious vestibule of the temple.
From young and strong monks to witness each other in the roster, to middle-aged monks. Finally, even the elderly monks and those who were ill in bed were carried out for verification. Of course, some special examples were selected during this process, such as those who were large or vicious, or those who looked too young or looked new.
Then these monks who were selected will perform secondary testing in the requisition room; and some senior middle-aged monks who were particularly selected to identify and confirm the faces. At this time, some problems with daily behaviors and performance will be exposed in this process; for example, those who are rich families, officials who are harboring their orphans in Buddhism, and even some new criminals who are involved in it.
Then, it was even found in some temples that the woman who was hiding in the monk's robes was a normal operation. Despite this, it was finally found that one of the three great masters of Tang Mi that Suzong was in charge of the national master Bukong Sanzang and summoned his disciple Hanguang to build a Tantric temple, Jinge Temple, and another accident occurred. The Taiping soldiers who went to the site for inspection were accidentally attacked and resisted.
Of course, this kind of mantis arm-like resistance is destined to be futile. The resisters gathered were quickly broken by cannons pushed up the mountain and drove people out of the hidden building with explosive bombs. They easily suppressed them under the fire of several rounds of guns. In the end, only dozens of bloody corpses, as well as hidden knives, guns, bows, crossbows and other objects were taken out, which was considered to be a bloody end for the search and pickup event.
However, what is surprising is that the subsequent search and cleaning of Kinkaku Temple again dug out many long-standing corpses from the remains of the monk's house, Buddhist temple and flower garden. Judging from the unscathed monk's clothes, it is the remains of Jingkong, the former head of Kinkaku Temple and other monks. However, I don't know when this group of unknown strong men destroyed the family and occupied the dove nest for some time.
Then, when he was picking up the property hidden in the Buddhist temples and pavilions, he made another amazing discovery; and Zhao Jianfan, the general in charge of leading the team to clear the Wutai Mountain Temple, quickly sent an emergency messenger to Taiyuan, the northern capital. A few days later, news from Taiyuan, from the northern capital also flew over the mountains and steep mountains through carrier pigeons and arrived at the communications location of one of the confidential departments in Luoyang.
Therefore, when Zhou Huaian received the news, it was on the "Shangsi Festival" on March 3. The Luoshui River, which runs through the north and south of Luodu, was also filled with traditional "sweeping and bathing" activities, or various families who held and wore wedding ceremony for their daughters who had just passed the fifteenth and sixteenth year of the year, and set up curtains and screens for their families;
In the famous scenic spots of Baofu Temple, Yanxing Garden, Furong Tower, Jingu Garden, Tongtuli and other traditional city attractions along the river bank, there are also a happy scene of traveling and having fun in spring. Many temples hired many advocacy and musicians from Mingyifang, and they played and sang continuously throughout the day to make a name for themselves and entertaining.
Of course, standing between the Zuoye Gate of Da Nei Imperial City (Ziwei City), the highest terrain, and Chengfu Gate of Dongjiacheng, is located on the top of the triple round tower-shaped que Tower, known as the southeast corner of the city wall of Wufeng Tower; Zhou Huaian can easily see most of the scenery. Among them, the various BMW carts and spruce-shaped silhouettes are as if time has just flowed back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
What's more, those families who hold "removal baths" or gossips, although curtains and cloth barriers cover and protect the privacy of each other, Zhou Huaian, who is in the condescending momentum of the city walls and high buildings, and especially the functions of enlarging the field of vision and focusing, is basically unprepared for Zhou Huaian.
Therefore, he could see more beautiful things like snow-white pink, or beautiful as peach blossoms, or as rich as the moon, and the moving situations that were faintly visible between the loose belt and the washing of the bath. Then he felt that Luodu was indeed the place where the scenery of the Tang Dynasty was the most retained and preserved; so that women who were born and raised were generally richer and more fair than elsewhere.
At this time, it will inevitably lead to the accompanying Douduo, Zhuer and Xiaowen, who are accompanying each other, and will inevitably be coquettish, complaining and complaining; then Zhou Huaian is picked up without hesitation and plays a new music of "eraging the railings, rain and snow"; then in the midst of multiple frights and excitement such as fear of heights, exposure, and radiation, he can't help but become a ball of mud that can only whimper.
An urgent message from Hedong was sent to Zhou Huaian under this situation; but he still felt unsatisfied and touched Han Jiyue, who was struggling hard like a live fish, but couldn't help but be surprised:
"So, when they accidentally investigated the temple in Mount Wutai, they found the trace of Li Keyong who fled after the war?"
Subsequently, based on the oral statement of Yiying and Ye Zhiqing, who was temporarily acting as a clerk, Zhou Huaian slowly understood the series of things that were followed. However, before Li Keyong was completely defeated, he had already arranged a retreat and a hiding place. Therefore, the only remote middle and south terrain on Mount Wutai was steep and steep, while the Jinge Temple, which had little external contacts, became the target.
Therefore, without disturbing most of the people in the temple, this Tantric temple was changed silently. After all, there were many families who fled up the mountain to take refuge and avoid wars one after another. Even the Kinkaku Temple also accepted several groups of believers who defected to the country, which was not particularly rare.
In addition, including the front owner of the Kinkaku Temple, a group of great monks and representatives of the upper class on the mountain were once asked by Beidu to pray for the new king, and then they were stranded in the local area and never returned. Therefore, no one has discovered any abnormalities so far, so a lot of food, grass, weapons and weapons were collected in it.
In addition to some monks who negotiated with foreign affairs, the others were also replaced by Zhu Xie, the head of the Shatuo tribe, and even the most loyal personal soldiers who were of the same clan. However, surprisingly, until now they were seized, they did not welcome Li Keyong and his party who were expected to go up the mountain to join and hide. After the other party sent people to inform them in advance, there was no news again.
It should have ended here, but as the deputy general Zhao Jingfan, who was responsible for the clearance of Wutai Mountain, there was a small school transformed from the former Jin army, Liu Feng, who was also a guide. However, he suggested that while sending troops to search the mountains, he would also thoroughly investigate the towns and towns located in the foothills of the mountain between the peaks of Wutai Mountain, which were developed for life by relying on temples.
This search inevitably found many filthy and dirty existences that were as dark as under the lamp; of course, most of them were related to the temples on the mountain, such as monks holding women privately and having children privately, and then hiding bells at home like the world, or special courtyards dedicated to serving monks, providing special services in the name of a temple that hosts orphans, and so on;
In the future, the department of his own was not mentioned in the emergency transmission. However, another clue was accidentally involved; it was an accidental seizure of personal belongings related to Li Keyong who had escaped. Then it involved a group of land groups formed by several towns at the foot of the mountain. Some of them fled into nearby forests after being dismissed and turned into small groups of bandits.
It is said that they have robbed many rich families and officials on Mount Wutai; and these objects were leaked out and then secretly sold stolen goods by these rogues. Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh and was incredible when he heard this. Could it be that Li Ya'er, who claimed to be a powerful hero and had a son of a considerable number of times, was easily destroyed in the nameless land in the mountains?
Then, under Ye Zhiqing's reading, Zhou Huaian also felt and restored the last moment of the end of the five generations of heroes who had once called Zhu Laosan for one lifetime. Perhaps Li Keyong, who was on the way to escape, had already made up his mind to disguise himself as a monk and hide in Mount Wutai, but was subjected to rebellion and resistance from his subordinates;
Perhaps even after a fight, although the rebels were killed, there were only a few followers left by Li Keyong; then, who changed into monks, they collided with the mountain bandit traps transformed by these earth groups; then, when they were injured and at the end of their strength, they still couldn't protect themselves, and in the end they could only die in a frustration at the hands of these bandits.
Therefore, from the cliff near the settlement of the bandits who were suppressed, only some fragments of monk's robes and clothes, as well as the remaining leg bones and pelvic bones that could not be eaten by wild animals in the mountains; however, among the golden beetle bags and sacs and other personal items found in the settlement, many golden buttons and jade talismans that can indirectly prove their identity were found.
This also means that the Li Tang banner was once the leader of the foreign tribe who was unknown and the unknown, and the legendary figure of the Later Tang Dynasty on another time and space line. In this way, the last curtain of life was brought to a halt.
Hearing this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help laughing out loud with mixed emotions, but it made Han Jiyue, who was panting in his arms, surprised:
"Why is the Lord laughing? Is it because Yuenu is not serving him well enough?"
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian turned her side without hesitation, and then said:
Chapter completed!
