Chapter 713 : The sun and the moon are bright
At this time, Deng Yu ran over with a big knife and sweating profusely. He looked at the corpses covered with all over the river. He laughed excitedly and said, "It's good to be happy, I didn't expect that I could fight with the soldiers of Tianwan Kingdom today and kill such an enemy. Haha, Brother Xiao didn't expect that your mandarin duck formation would be so powerful..." When he said this, he suddenly saw Xiao Yun staring at him with a strange expression, and he was slightly stunned, and said, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you...?"
Xiao Yun said: "Does Brother Deng really think this is Xu Shouhui's army?"
Deng Yu was stunned and said, "Isn't it...?"
Xiao Yun said: "Of course not...?"
"No!" Deng Yu was surprised and stared at Xiao Yun with disbelief. When the enemy came, he clearly saw Xu Shouhui's "Xu" in the enemy's flag. If it weren't for Xu Shouhui's soldiers, whose soldiers would it be?
Xiao Yun seemed to know that Deng Yu didn't believe it, and did not explain. He walked straight to the man in black, pointed his hand and said, "Brother Deng, please see?"
The night was hazy at this time, and fortunately, the guards lit the torch, which made the boat shine brightly. Deng Yu followed Xiao Yun's fingers and looked at it. Under the fire, he saw the two big words "Sun and Moon" written on the armor deep in the chest of the man in black, which was very eye-catching under the fire.
The Red Turban Army in the Great Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was mostly White Lotus Sect. The leader Han Liner was also known as "Xiao Ming Wang". This "Ming" means sun and moon. All soldiers who supported Xiao Ming Wang were mostly wearing bright armor of "Sun and Moon". At this time, when they saw these two words under the light, Deng Yu's face remained unchanged.
"Is it Xiao Ming King...?" Deng Yu looked at the river in confusion, frowned and murmured to himself.
Xiao Yun didn't know who Xiao Ming King was, so he couldn't help but say, "Who is Xiao Ming King?"
Deng Yu looked a little solemn. After listening to Xiao Yun's inquiry, he pondered for a moment, and said, "The King of Xiao Ming, whose surname is Han and his name is Lin'er, is the leader of the Red Turban Army of the Song Dynasty. His father, Han Shantong, once organized a mass uprising with the White Lotus Sect. After Han Shantong died, Han Lin'er fled to Wu'an with his mother. In the spring of the 15th year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong and others welcomed Han Lin'er to Bozhou (now Bozhou, Anhui), and made him the emperor, and called Xiao Ming Wang. The country was called Da Song."
"Oh, it's him?" Before Deng Yu finished speaking, Xiao Yun laughed and screamed.
Deng Yu was stunned and then said, "Why, Brother Xiao knows King Ming?"
Seeing Deng Yu’s eyes confused, Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, “I, like a cattle man, have no fate to know this person, I just heard this name on the way?”
Deng Yu did not doubt that in recent years, Han Liner fought "three thousand tigers, and went straight to the land of Youyan; dragons flew nine five, and reopened the sky of the Song Dynasty" and led the rebel army to fight south and north. In Bozhou (now Anhui), he established him as the emperor, named Xiaoming King, founded the Song Dynasty, changed the reign of the reign of the Longfeng family, and gave Lin'er's mother Yang as the empress dowager. Lin'er was known as the ninth generation grandson of Song Huizong, and his hometown was known as Song, and his reputation resounded throughout the world for a while. It was not surprising that Xiao Yun could hear his good fortune.
"Why, Brother Deng thinks it was done by King Ming?" Xiao Yun glanced at Deng Yu and hesitated.
Deng Yu's face was gloomy and he stared at the headless man in black on the ground for a long time before saying, "What do Brother Xiao think about this?"
"Damn, you really know how to play Tai Chi?" Xiao Yun cursed inwardly and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, these are not done by Xiao Mingwang?"

Annotation: Regarding the Ming Cult: Many people have recently read Mr. Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In order to avoid the revenge of Zhang Wuji's dragon slaying sword and his unforgettable roots for the Ming Cult brothers, they used the Ming Cult to be the national name of the Ming Cult. For this "Ming Cult" Xiao Jing, it is necessary to say a few words here!
Ming Cult: also known as Muni or Manichi, originated from the ancient Persian Sassanid dynasty. It was founded by the Persian Mani in the mid-3rd century AD. It was influenced by the doctrine of Christianity and the Iranian Zoroastrian Mazda. Mani claimed that he was the prophet of God and the last prophet. Manichi had a great influence on Sogdian and was introduced to China.
In ancient China, the development of Manichaeism was mixed with Taoism, Buddhism, White Lotus, Islam and other components. Peasant uprisings in the Five Dynasties, the Ten Kingdoms, the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties were often used as tools for organization. Zhang Jiao was often respected as the ancestor of the religion, respected Mani (or translated as "Muni") as the god of light, and worshiped the sun and the moon. The believers were white in color, advocated vegetarianism, quit drinking, and burial nakedly; they paid attention to unity and mutual assistance, and were called a family, and believed that the light power in the world would eventually defeat the dark power. In the sixth year of Zhenming of Liang Dynasty (920), Mu Yi launched an uprising. During the Song Dynasty, the two Song Dynasties were popular in Huainan, Liangzhe, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, etc., and peasant uprisings were constantly organized. The most famous ones were the Fang La Uprising and the Wang Nianjing Uprising.
The Manichaeism in history is the Ming Cult, also known as the Wei-Ki, and the Ming-Zun Cult was founded in the 3rd century AD. At that time, it was approximately equivalent to the Wei-Jin period in China. Manichaeism was introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty and gradually developed later. The core of Manichaeism is that at the beginning of the world, there were two kingdoms of light and darkness coexisting, with light occupying the north, east and west, and darkness occupying the south. In the Kingdom of Light, light, goodness, peace, order, and cleanliness. The Manichaeism classic "The Lower Praise" says:
Light is pure in all directions, and it is always happy and silent.
He is happy and has no worries, and if he says there is suffering but no use.
Always be happy and bright, if you say you are sick, you are useless.
If anyone can live in that country, there will be no worries.
The place is solemn and pure, and all evils are impure and there is nothing;
Happiness is full of happiness and always broad-mindedness, and it is useless to say that there is a good reputation.
The ruler of the Kingdom of Light was called Chawan (meaning eternity), and the East Land was called Mingfu and Daming Zun. The Kingdom of Daming was filled with fireworks, suffocation, hurricanes, sludge, and poisonous water. It was ruled by the Dark Demon King. There were five types of demons living in lust and quarrels all day long. During the wars between Light and Dark, the Dark Demon King gave birth to the ancestors of humans. Because humans were descendants of the Dark Demon, Daming Zun sent the envoys of light to save the souls of humans with light molecules.
In the Song Dynasty, Manichaeism was translated as "Ming Cult", and its doctrine was concisely summarized into the eight words "purity, light, great strength, and wisdom". Among the church members, there were peasants, scholars, officials, soldiers, heroes of green forests, thieves from the Yangtze River, and military martial arts. The believers formed white clothes and black hats, secretly respected the Ming envoys as the gods in the church. At that time, because they were in a secret association, in order to avoid being banned by the government, the church name also had many other names - in addition to being called Manichaeism in Zhejiang and Ming Cult in Fujian, according to the "Part 5" of "Wilan Collection" Volume 5, "Two Huizi" in Huainan, "Four Fruits" in Jiangdong, "Vajra Zen" in Jiangxi, and "Jie Dizhai" in Fujian.
During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Ming Cult further combined with Chinese local culture and became a form of struggle between the lower class people and the people in the martial arts world against the court. Because the Ming Cult was suppressed by the court for a long time, its actions were extremely mysterious, and sometimes misunderstood by the "white path" in the martial arts world. Compared with ordinary martial arts world people, the Ming Cults faced greater pressure, so they resisted the court more resolutely, causing great uprisings several times in history. The first was in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when Fang La used the Manicheism to organize the masses and held a massive uprising, shaking the southeast half of the rivers and mountains. The second was after the Southern Song Dynasty, the Ming Cult and the White Lotus Sect were connected and played an important role in the peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The Red Turban Army in the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was mostly White Lotus Sect, and the leader Han Liner was also known as the "Little Ming King". This "Ming" was also
It was related to the Ming Cult. Later, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was also a member of the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Cult at that time. However, after he gained great power, he gradually became unharmonious with the two religions because he knew the power of the secret sects. When he became emperor, he adopted Li Shanchang's suggestion and issued an edict to strictly prohibit the White Lotus Society and the Ming Cult, and wrote the ban on the "Left Tao Evil Art" into the "Ming Law" eleven "Li Rules" and fixed it in the form of legality. Later, the White Lotus Sect continued to develop in the form of various tribes, such as the Tang Saier Uprising during the Yongle period and the White Lotus Sect Uprising in the middle and late Qing Dynasty; but the Ming Cult gradually declined. In martial arts novels, because Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" wrote about the Ming Cult, the Ming Cult became famous for a while and became a typical example of the secret sect in the cultural form of chivalrous.
The formation of the Ming Cultivate General (Chaichuanjian Scenic Area) in western Zhejiang has been a history of 1,000 years. It first appeared in the form of a secret religion. The Chen Shuozhen Uprising, the first woman in history, took place in western Zhejiang, leaving behind the mysterious ruins "Emperor's Foundation" (Nine of Ten Doors and Nine Unlocks) and "Wannian Building" (Bannian Building). Later, it was used by the leader of the Ming Cultivate Fang La, and launched a larger peasant uprising in the same place. "Water Margin" records that Fang La set up a complete "five prefectures and six ministries" Ming Cultivate society in Lingshan, Liujia. When the Ming Cultivate Zhu Yuanzhang stationed troops in a thousand acres of land under the Chuaizhu, he also used the Ming Cultivate organization here to carry out activities, so the folk legend here is: Zhu Yuanzhang's treasure hiding place. In 2009, TV-4, he made a program in Daming Mountain.
In December 2008, Xiapu County, Fujian Province discovered a large number of Ming Cult cultural relics and materials in the third cultural relics survey. In the process of switching from Manichaeism to Ming Cult, the most important thing was to mix yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. The figure of Lin Tian played a great role in the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang started his business as a commoner in Huaiyou, and finally the land of China was full of legends. In Chinese history, no emperor was born.
He was so humble that few people finally unified the north and the whole country with the Yangtze River Basin in the south. When Chahan Timur and his adopted son Kuo Timur (Wang Baobao) conquered Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Red Turban Army in 1359 and gradually cleared the northern peasant army, the Mongolian court was inevitably proud. According to historical experience, no one has been able to successfully launch an invasion from the south but can successfully fight the northern expedition. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did this, which was an unprecedented great achievement.
Zhu Jianguo's name was "Ming", which was a topic that could arouse people's interest. Wu Han said: "Only the Ming Taizu was called the first year of Wu in the 27th year of Zhizheng (1367 AD). The following year he ascended the throne and then decided to be the name of Daming and Hongwu in the era. Wu was not the name of the country, nor the year. As for Daming, it was not the name of the first place, nor the title of the title of the title, nor the title of the Later Tang and Later Han dynasties began to trace it back."
