Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 768

In November, Fang La led his people to Palembang.Yes, the old port has been renamed Palembang at this moment.

According to the decree of Emperor Lu, King Tamasana of Srivijaya disrespected Tianchao and exterminated the country.The island of Sumatra was a feudal state of Ming Dynasty Gong Fangla, and the country was named Ming. It had independent political and military power, but no independent diplomatic power. It changed the old port to Palembang and regarded it as its capital.

It is said in history that this time became "the beginning of the great integration of ethnic groups going south"!That end was very insightful.

The "riots" of Tianfang believers have also been recorded vividly in history. They looted the noble area of ​​​​Old Port and set fire to the slums, causing thousands of casualties and killing thousands of monks and monks, destroying and destroying All the monasteries were destroyed, and the dozens of splendid monasteries in the southeastern area of ​​Old Port became unrecognizable in one day. The essence of Theravada Buddhism in the entire Old Port was wiped out.

A shameful betrayal, a carnival of robbery and massacre that has been recorded in detail, is also a stain that a certain religion cannot erase after a thousand years.Of course, for those people, a stain without a stain is useless.

In stark contrast to the Tianfang believers, the Fang La army who entered the old port a day later was benevolent and friendly.

Although the latter was an invading army, in the eyes of the natives of Old Port at this time, they were all holy monks and saints exuding the holy light of public morality behind their heads.

They relieved the people at the bottom in difficulty, and quickly stabilized the disaster-stricken people among the latter.A large number of low-level soldiers were dismissed, and although a large number of noble warriors were detained, the ratio of the upper class to the lower class was very different in any place.

The return of a large number of low-level soldiers of Srivijaya quickly stabilized the southeastern part of the city.

——After pacifying the lower-class aborigines, they pacified the kingdom's middle class.As for the artificial isolation of a large number of high-ranking people and their families, what does that have to do with the general public?

The latter have gone back to their old, accustomed, beloved order of life, haven't they?

Whether it was Deng Yuanjue who led troops to surround the gathering area of ​​Tianfang believers, or brought back a large number of Buddhist utensils and statues from it, this made the local aborigines have a better impression of the invaders.

As a result, soon the old aborigines abandoned their original beliefs and converted to His Majesty Maniguang Buddha.

After all, are they all Buddhists, and to be honest, what kind of Buddhism do these indigenous people with low social status understand?

The changes in the old port only took a day, but it took a lot of time to deal with the aftermath, to clear the site, to rebuild and repair the damaged palace, and to rebuild and tidy up the temple.

At least when Fang La arrived in Palembang by boat, Fang Tianding just finished the renovation of the palace.

At this time, the Manichaean army had seized Jambi and other places, and the eastern part of Sumatra Island had been swept away by the Manichean army. It can be said that the territory directly under King Sanfoqi had also been taken seven or eight times. eight.

Crown Prince Manaza Wuli fled to Central Sumatra, stopped at Pekanbaru on the right bank of the Pensiak River, and summoned his loyal vassals King Qin.The remnants of the Three Buddha Qi Navy, who fled westward in the battle at the mouth of the Musi River, were also loyal to him, allowing him to have some deterrent power against the large and small subjects.

Another generous gift from the Tianfang merchants, the submission of eleven Sanfoqi vassals from the Malay Peninsula, made the newly established Ming Kingdom flourish in the Nanyang region.

But they are also facing a big trouble at the same time - the tax system of Srivijaya.

As mentioned in the previous article, the Sanfoqi people do not pay taxes, but they must prepare their own dry food and weapons in wartime, and fight with the boss.But these people don't mean everyone.In other words, this tax still exists, but it is not paid to King Srivijaya.

There are many civilians in the southeast area. These people are the fundamental source of Srivijaya's force, but they are attached to a higher structure.And the people in the slums in the center of the city, these people are not even counted as human beings, how can they enjoy the treatment of human beings?As a feudal country with remnants of slavery, people in the slums not only have to pay taxes, but also teach a lot.It's just that their taxes are only taught to their masters.

The latter category includes all classes in the Southeast, including the royal family.The royal family also has its own royal fields!What's more, the common people who don't pay taxes still have the heavy burden of 'giving'.

Giving to whom?Donate to the monastery.Do you want honorable, benevolent, and wise eminent monks to go to the fields to cultivate the fields?

Now a multiple-choice question is placed in front of Manichaeism. Should it still maintain the original social system of Srivijaya, or open up another world?
Both options have their advantages, but they also have their own disadvantages.

Although the former can allow Manichaeism to gain a firm foothold in Sumatra, the ceiling height is limited, and it will be very difficult to truly become deeply rooted in Sumatra in the future.Moreover, this caste system runs counter to the scriptures of rebellion held high by Manichaeism...

And the latter.On the contrary, it is beneficial to the reduction of Manichaeism and enlightenment.But the troubles of internal affairs will also cause endless troubles to Manichaeism.

You know, there are still countless small feudal lords in Sumatra today.

"If the rules of Sanfoqi remain unchanged, my son thinks that as long as the news is released, those local leaders will bow their heads." Fang Tianding looked at Fang Layan and said: "But if the old social structure is completely smashed,... "The crown prince of the Three Buddhas, Manazhe Wuli, has now called himself the King of the Three Buddhas, surrounded by a group of three Buddhas.And the move of the Manichaeism is to push all the other Sanfoqi nobles to Manazha Wuli.

Fang La's brows were not serious at all. He had considered these issues over and over on the way to Nanyang, and he had made a decision in his mind.Now looking at his son, his eyes flashed for a moment of consideration, "What choice does Da Lang think we should make?"

"Son thinks..., change!" Fang Tianding didn't think too much about it.His status has long been unshakable, and he expressed his thoughts very straightforwardly.

"Why?" Fang La asked again.

"Father, although the former is a long-term policy for long-term peace and stability, the former%+... is too weak." Fang Tianding's eyes sparkled, "Just like the Zhao Song Dynasty that emphasized culture and suppressed military force, and used culture to control military force, it was a country that was forever stable internally. . The fault of this incident is not that the current saints are wise and mighty, but that they are actually unborn heroes. With the power of my teaching, even if we can be a hero in the southeast for a while, we will eventually fall into the sand and lose our lives. A different place.”

"However, he fought and lost repeatedly to the outside world, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and caused the dignity of our Han family to be lost at the hands of foreigners."

Back then, the Lulong Jiedu envoy was able to beat the Khitan people into dogs, and it was only a Jiedu in the northwest.But after Zhao Song established the country, it became a nightmare and a serious worry for the Central Plains.This actually made Li Tang's warriors laugh.

In Fang Tianding's eyes, these three Buddhas are similar to him.

If the common people are divided into three, six or nine categories, then the people's power will not be fully utilized, just like Srivijaya's battle with them.From the beginning to the end, Srivijaya mobilized only about [-] watermen and horses, which is ridiculous to say.

Secondly, the social class is solidified, and the background of officials is solidified. How similar is it to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties?Of course, Brother Asan's official selection system is not as good as the nine-rank Zhongzheng system today, and they are based on blood lineage.

This is something that China has thrown into the garbage dump hundreds of years ago. If the Manichaeism picks it up and uses it, not to mention how much this system will cause internal damage to the Manichaeism, which started the rebellion and held up the scriptures of rebellion. As far as the consequences of this system being implemented, Fang Tianding has no idea.

For a man may discipline his own offspring, but not his offspring's offspring.Fang Tian can guarantee that his sons and grandsons are above their due standards, but he can't guarantee that his grandchildren's children and grandchildren are also above their standards.Then Zhao Song is a good example.

Regardless of what the previous generations said, there are still merits.But when it comes to the prodigal couple Zhao Ji and his son, it is true that there are mountains of gold and silver that are not enough for them to squander.

Fang La laughed loudly after hearing this. He was indeed his good son and knowledgeable.

He took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Fang Tianding. It was a private letter from Emperor Lu.The above clearly defined Fang La's southward movement and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty as the beginning of the great national integration of the southward movement.

"Great integration of nationalities." Fang La laughed, his cheap son-in-law really can speak. "The meaning of this word is very clear." Do you want them to integrate with the aborigines, just like what Emperor Lu did in southern Hunan and western Jiangxi, pulling all the young people from the mountain nests out to form households of Qimin.Naturally, the social structure of the young people must be completely smashed first, so that they will obey obediently.

After such matters were settled, the second matter was immediately brought up, but it was not an issue of faith. On the latter issue, Manichaeism had already reached a consensus within itself.Even Bao Daoyi has earned enough benefits for his group in repeated confrontations.You must know that in Manichaeism, Renbao Dao Yike is also the spiritual master who protects the country, and his status is similar to Deng Yuanjue.Nowadays, the status of Monk Baoguang has increased, but it is because of Manichaeism that he has become Maniguang Buddha.

Bao Dao Yi's belief is difficult to spread in Sumatra, and Bao Dao Yi has no intention of becoming a true heavenly master.He cares more about actual power than religious belief.Fang La promised that his family would be the general manager of Bangka Island for generations to come.The latter is a treasure land. First of all, its area is no less than that of a state in the Central Plains. Although it is located on the seashore with swamps and a hot and humid climate, it produces upland rice, pepper, benzoin, etc., and there are tin, iron, copper, and lead in the territory. Mines and tin sand production are even more abundant.

It's easy to get a heresy!This may change in a few generations, but Bao Daoyi is already satisfied.Now he is really waiting for a small vassal state in Ruoming Kingdom.

The second thing Fang Tianding put on the table was the Tianfang Sect in Palembang.

The strength of the latter cannot be underestimated. His deeds in the Old Port have spread throughout Nanyang, and he has successfully completed the task of attracting hatred for the Manichaeism.

But no matter how perfect the task is, it doesn't mean that they are no longer threatened.Now it's time to think about how to solve this trouble!
"Tough measures are not advisable." To develop the Ming Dynasty, it must rely on these fan merchants from Tianfang.Fang La seemed to have thought of something, "But it's not difficult to solve this problem. I think there may be inexplicable surprises in this matter."

Fang Tianding waited for many people to be puzzled suddenly, but the eyes of others flashed.

In Fang La's eyes, Tianfang people are still very sensible. Today when he came to Palembang, those merchants from Tianfang presented golden gifts in front of him, and those who are well-behaved are not smart people.He loves to hang out with smart people!
While thinking like this, Qian Zhenpeng, who was in charge of guarding the pier, rushed to the palace to ask for an interview. Fang La subconsciously felt that something bad had happened.

"Hurry up!"

Qian Zhenpeng walked over with a treasured sword on his waist, his face flushed a little.When he arrived at the atrium, he knelt down and said, "I want to report to the Holy Father, the King of the Three Buddhas, Tan Ma Shana, died suddenly at the dock, and I am guilty!" Tan Ma Shana, his princess, and a group of captured children will all be sent back to the Central Plains in the near future.

Fang La, Fang Tianding and other high-level Manichaeists present stood up one after another. Fang Shenggong's pale yellow face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

No need to guess, he knows who the killer is!There is always a sentence in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not...
