Chapter 325: One of the four major religions in the world - Yanhuang

According to Zhang Liao, the Qiang people who were entrenched in the Liangzhou area who were once in alliance with Ma Teng and were dispersed due to Ma Teng's defeat and withdrew from the Liangzhou area; however, they gathered the remnants of the army in the western part of Yizhou, which was growing stronger, posing a great potential threat to the security of the Yizhou area. Chen Jiao, the governor of Yizhou, wrote a letter to the Senate on this matter, but Zhang Liao took it upon himself and reported to Cao Chong at this time.

During the reform, there were special provisions on military information memorials: it was not necessary to pass the House of Representatives to review, but it was directly handed over to the Senate, or even the emperor. Since the Qiang people have not taken any action at the moment, they only posed a potential threat to Yizhou, Chen Jiao, the governor of Yizhou, did not submit the military information directly to Cao Chong, but submitted it to the Senate.

However, Wu Fan reflected on one of the drawbacks of the military information report during the reform through Zhang Liao's actions, that is, it is not transparent enough. Just imagine that if this military information was suppressed by a veteran with ulterior motives, but others were not aware of it, the consequences would be very serious.

Although under the strict supervision system and there are restrictions on the House of Representatives, the veterans passed are basically honest and self-disciplined. However, I am afraid that there will be one. Therefore, the procedure for military information needs to be further adjusted to make it open and transparent, so that all veterans will know everything at the first time. Instead of having one veteran takes over, others will no longer know.

This is the case with reform. It is impossible to be in place in one step while breaking the old system. It often requires a little bit of exploration. The same is true for Wu Fan's fifteen reforms, which is also the fundamental reason why he wants to win the support of most of his ministers.

After Zhang Liao's military information was reported, the debate between the elders began, and the focus of the debate was mainly and the main battle with the main, which was divided into two major factions.

The elders of the Lord believed that our country had just experienced more than twenty years of war, and was unemployed and had national strength malfunctions. At this time, we should try to avoid fighting with foreign races, especially the areas where the Qiang people live in are bitter, cold and remote, and the Middle-earth people are extremely unsuitable. If the expedition that works hard and hurts the people ends in failure, it will not only boost the morale of the Qiang people and eliminate their fear of Central China, but will also take the initiative to attack us in the future. It is better to adopt a gentle strategy, give them some gold, pearls, and silk items, and then grant them a nameless title in the court, so that we regard them as one and have no intention of attacking. Then the border can protect Taiping and the country can develop with all its strength.

The elders of the main battle believed that now we have just ended the war, and the number and quality of the troops across the country were incomparable to peacetime. In particular, many generals rushed over from large and small battle formations. Everyone was real, not as experienced as generals in peacetime. They were all fancy. This is why the territory of each dynasty was often expanded when the country was founded, and the territory of the country was often reduced when the country was defended. At this time when the troops were strong and the generals were brave, how could the Qiang people ignore it? They should concentrate their troops, completely defeat them, and expand their territory.

The personnel of both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly. Cao Chong sat on it and frowned slightly as he watched the elders argue, but he had no idea for a moment. In the end, he had to look at Wu Fan.

Compared with the elders who were blushing and spitting with stars, Wu Fan was extremely quiet and did not express any views from beginning to end. Wu Fan's military command and strategic vision were simply incomparable to the elders in these debates. So before the final decision, Cao Chong must take Wu Fan's views as the main reference point.

"Uncle Ba, what do you think about the military situation of the Qiang people threatening the security of Yizhou?"

Cao Chong asked Wu Fandao.

The elders who were arguing endlessly, when they heard Cao Chong ask about Wu Fan's opinion, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The whole hall was quiet, and everyone was listening attentively to what Wu Fan would say.

Wu Fan took back his mind and bowed to Cao Chong:

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of me, our position towards the Qiang people should be... war."

Hearing this, the elders who were in charge of the war seemed to have found their backbone, and looked at the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord were all covered in dust. Of course, there were also some of them who were dissatisfied with their hearts and thought that their claims were not wrong.

After saying this, Wu Fan stood up from his seat, turned around and looked at the elders in the hall, and said:

"A very simple example, for example, the upper beam of the gate of the Zhaoming Hall has a long and sluggish texture and may collapse at any time due to the long-term texture. Now, there are two ways to prevent it from suddenly collapse and hurting people: one is to use a wooden square to hold the door beam, and the other is to replace the door beam directly. The second method is time-consuming and has a larger project than the first method, but it can be solved once and for all. The first method can only be regarded as a stopgap method. The danger of the upper beam is still there, and it may still hurt people at any time."

Hearing this, many of the original lords and sects also got their clues. Wu Fan continued:

"Now, let's talk about the Qiang people. They live in a bitter and cold place and must covet Middle Earth; in this way, we will give it rare things such as gold, pearls, jade and silk, not only will it not block their predicament against Middle Earth, but it will also make them more greedy for Middle Earth. At present, although we are in a mess and our national strength is declining, our army and generals are incomparable to it during peacetime. Now, although we have paid a lot when expeditions to the Qiang people, we have been lazy in the future. If the Qiang people rebelled at that time, we would have to pay five or even ten times more casualties and prices compared to this time. I believe everyone here can understand the so-called long pain is worse than short pain."

Wu Fan's reform not only allowed the people to have different views on the official, but also had different views on the same thing. For officials, the same is true, and the one-man rule was eliminated. Whether it is the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supervision Department, or the local prefectures, when holding different views on the same thing, you don't have to care about the level of each other's official positions. As long as you think your point of view is correct, then describe your point of view as clearly as possible and tell everyone.

It is because truth is never afraid of debate, and debate will only make the truth more dazzling. Only lies always suppress different opinions and try their best to eliminate dissidents.

However, Wu Fan's view made all the elders unable to argue. In the end, Cao Chong decided to start a war against the Qiang people according to Wu Fan's opinion.

However, Cao Chong had no idea what to do, so he had to seek help from his eighth uncle Wu Fan. Wu Fan proposed to temporarily transfer Li Zhan, the governor of Jingbei, and Chen Jiao, the governor of Yizhou, and promoted Li Zhan's official position to the governor of Yizhou, and took charge of both military and political powers in Yizhou. The former military generals under Wenpin, Zang Ba, Zhang Ren and other Li Zhan also went to Yizhou with him.

Wu Fan knows the abilities of his apprentice Li Zhan very well. Since Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, it will take at least one month for the Expeditionary Force to reach Yizhou. In order to ensure that Yizhou's defense is not missed during this period, Wu Fan replaced Li Zhan, who is good at commanding troops, a pure governor, Chen Jiao.

In addition, Yuan Shao, the governor of Southern Central and Zhuge Jin, the governor of Yongzhou, were also promoted to the governor of the state, taking charge of both military and political power, and fully assisting Yizhou in preventing the Qiang people.

As for the expeditionary force sent, the number was set at 300,000. Adding to the military strength of the three states of Yi, Yong and Nanzhong, the total force of the Qiang people to fight to reach about 500,000.

In terms of commanding the generals, General Zhang Liao of the Cavalry volunteered to Ying and Cao Chong approved the report. In addition, he sent six powerful generals to go to the war with Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu.

Finally, Wu Fan proposed to let Zhou Yu and Lu Xun participate in the expedition, assisting Zhang Liao in providing advice. It was approved.

After some sorting, these proposals are sent to the House of Representatives by civil servants to vote. Reform regulations stipulate that the emperor must put the interests of the state and the people first and be passed by the House of Representatives before they can be implemented.

After the proposal was handed over to the House of Representatives, the vote will be given tomorrow morning court. Seeing that all the elders had nothing else, Cao Chong announced his retreat. The elders stood up and bowed to Cao Chong, turned around and left the hall.

When I walked out of Zhaoming Palace, I saw Xun Yu walking towards this side.

Since taking over the creation of the faith project, Xun Yu and nine capable ministers including Xun Yu have really been meticulous and devoted themselves to their efforts. Although all nine of them were designated as veterans by Cao Chong and all voted by the House of Representatives, because the work of creating faith was very urgent, these nine people have never shown their faces in Zhaoming Palace in the past three months, but have been busy with the work at hand.

When Xun Yu saw Wu Fan, he walked a few more steps under his feet. This time he was here for Wu Fan.

When we came to Wu Fan, Xun or said:

"Wu Dasima, the work of creating faith has been basically completed, and there are still some specific events that need to be solicited for your opinions."

Wu Fan did not respond immediately to Xun Yu, but looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked with Xun Yu and said:

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me."

Xun Yu told Wu Fan one by one, including how to promote faith to the people, how to appoint people to promote faith, where to obtain salary, and how to clearly define a relationship with the government?

Wu Fan thought about it and told Xun Yu: In terms of locality, it is expected that a belief promotion department will be set up in each county, collectively called the Longguan Temple - the word "大天" means: the place that is paid attention to by the dragon Note: In the later period, in order to avoid taboos and highlight the uniqueness of the Heroes' Martyrs' Temple and highlight the uniqueness of the Heroes' Temple, "Longguan Temple" was simplified to "Longguan Temple", and the four tones of the Guanyin. Since then, there has been no more buildings named after the temple except the Heroes' Temple. After all, in the newly created beliefs, the Han people are the descendants of the dragon, and therefore, the dragon must be deliberately expressed.

As for the people who promote faith, they are composed of respected people selected from all over the country. The number is not large, but everyone must pass. After some subtle training, the most important thing is to make them believe in the description of the myths in the faith. Only in this way can they infect the people in the process of spreading faith. The positions of these people are collectively called "God Envoys", which are equivalent to pastors, and are grassroots missionaries. The upper level is "God Envoys", and the upper level is "God Envoys". In the early stage of spreading faith, Wu Fan, Xun Yu and others were in charge of the overall situation, and the appointment of relevant personnel will naturally be gradually improved in the future.

Although it is expected that a Longguan Temple will be built for each county, the Longguan Temple must have a divine envoy to play its role. Therefore, in the early stage of the spread of faith, the construction of the Longguan Temple could not be spread all over the country at once, but the construction of the Longguan Temple will be built as many as the qualified divine envoys.

The salaries of those who spread faith such as God’s envoys were initially transferred from the treasury. It is expected that a few years later, with the popularity of faith and the people’s recognition of faith, a donation mechanism can be established, and the people voluntarily donated to the Longguan Temple, using this money as the salary of clergy such as God’s envoys, as well as the funds for building a new Longguan Temple. This will get rid of the influence of the government on faith and make the two clear. The money donated by the people must be absolutely open and transparent, and there will be no embezzlement or unclear accounts.

In fact, every religion needs to strive to maintain its supreme image in the eyes of the priests. It is extremely cautious and careful about the appointment of clergy, so as not to cause its own religion to have a negative impact in the hearts of the priests. Because it is different from the powerful nature of government institutions, once it is abandoned by the priests, it is difficult to achieve the highest level of success.

Wu Fan's answer relieved the questions that Xun Yu had accumulated in his heart one by one. Finally, Xun Yu asked Wu Fan: There should always be a name for this belief, but I don't know how to name it?

Wu Fan pondered for a while. The two noble and unquestionable themes of this belief itself are the "successor of the dragon" and the "descendants of the dragon". The Longguan Temple scattered all over the place have portrayed the theme of the dragon, so in terms of naming it, it is called - Yanhuang Note: Later generations evolved into "Yanhuang Cult", which is known as the four major religions in the world together with Christianity, Islam and Buddhism.

...

Half a year later, in early spring of 201 AD.

With Luoyang as the center, eleven cities in Chang'an, Han'an, Hanzhong, Wan, Xinye, Xiangyang, Chenliu, Xuchang, Puyang and Ye have formed a preliminary communication network of the Yanhuang Cult. There are a total of 54 clergy engaged in missionary preaching, and a total of 54 Longguan Temples were built accordingly, distributed within these networks.

Because of the doctrine of the Yanhuang Cult, the teachings of the ten major schools have been absorbed, such as love, integrity, benevolence, filial piety, loyalty, righteousness, tolerance, etc., and the mythological complexes that it has always existed in the hearts of the people have been entrusted with. As a result, the Yanhuang Cult spread very quickly. However, the people who have not yet built the Longguan Temple in other areas traveled hundreds of miles and went to these cities to listen to a lecture notes for the divine messenger.

In view of this, in order to expand the influence of the Yanhuang Cult and the people's devotion to the Yanhuang Cult, Wu Fan secretly instructed to set the "tenth" of each month, namely the tenth, twenty, and thirty days of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first
