Chapter 583 Nanyang Buddhism

Geng Yanxi finally made an appearance again.

Since Zhao Huan bowed and stepped down, the Geng family and his son have also said goodbye to the political arena together.

The Jingkang Incident brought unhealthy pain to the Geng family.

But this is just because they don’t know what kind of shame and humiliation the original Jingkang shame in history brought to the Central Plains and Zhao Song!

On the contrary, historical changes have allowed Geng Nanzhong to live a few more years.

Compared with history, Geng Nanzhong lived for five more years. On the eve of Zhao Huan's entry into the country, the talent was ill!

Then Geng Yanxi successfully inherited his father's mantle and became a caring person beside Zhao Huan.

Secretary of the State of Wu!

This is a position that seems not very obvious, but is actually extremely important.

Because the current Wu Kingdom is still a grass-roots team and the political structure has not been completely established, the position of Secretary-General has become a Hanlin Bachelor + Assistant Political Affairs. The reason why he is a political affairs is because Wu Kingdom was still the old political system of Zhao Song.

Geng Yanxi was almost the second most important official of the Wu State. He personally went to Hongji Port to communicate with Xu Huiyan, which shows how much Wu State attaches importance to mercenaries.

That afternoon, in the conference hall, Xu Huiyan summoned all the generals to discuss the following matters.

At this moment, the people who obeyed the orders were all local officials in Jiaozhou, Lingnan and a few local people erected by the Song court. These people had few local soldiers and their status was not very valuable. They thought they had lived their lives in obscurity. Although they had preserved their families and had a background in the new dynasty, they were already well-behaved and could not be better than that. But it was hard to say that they had no regrets in their hearts!

It was Zhao Song's overseas fining strategy that gave them a new way out.

Although their merits were not recorded in their resumes in the battles of vassal states, this was at least an experience. More importantly, they could use this opportunity to prove their loyalty to the Song Dynasty.

They are not afraid of difficulties in war, and it is better in the rainy season.

Because, the difficulty is not great, how can the court let them see their loyalty?

Although they don’t know whether this path can be done or how many people can be done, it is always a path.

The future is bright and there is a great way to achieve!

When they heard Xu Huiyan talk about mercenaries and wars, the local officials had not yet expressed their opinions, but a few typical examples had already stood up first. They wanted to start fighting immediately and make more contributions.

"Everyone, please be calm! Be calm!" Xu Huiyan first looked at the several models in the hall, all of whom were excited for a long time, and did not prohibit their discussion. It was not until the local officials in Jiaozhou, Lingnan, were also swearing and expressing their determination by the models, and then he started to drink.

As Xu Huiyan raised his hand slightly, the conference hall gradually became quiet.

This is the reputation he has won for many years in Jiaozhou, Lingnan.

Xu Huiyan is orthodox, with a rigorous personality and a natural majesty. However, he can treat his military soldiers equally and give all kindness and power, and can subdue local officials and soldiers who are rough and unwilling to discipline.

It turns out that Zhao Gou has a good vision.

Although the local soldiers in Lingnan were rough and narrow-minded, they were quite obedient under Xu Huiyan's tent.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the situation in the south. Whether it is Chameng or Bagan, they are all scared. However, Bagan is vast and there are many tribes west of the King of Wu's territory. There will be no less merits under the King of Wu's command, but there is a trivial job there."

"While the city is rich, and the system has been established for hundreds of years, the army and soldiers above and below are mostly organized. Fighting there can be great achievements, but the danger is also quite large."

To this day, Xu Huiyan still doesn't reveal any news about the use of troops in Chameng. Among the people here today, no one would have thought that the Song army would also send troops to Chameng.

"If you raise troops for a thousand days, use troops for a while, our ranks should serve the country. How could you be afraid of fighting?" A model saw Xu Huiyan stopping his words, stood up and bowed to Xu Huiyan first, and then said.

Asked Xu Huiyan to listen to it, he was very happy.

"This is a great word. You choose the two places yourself. I only tell you that everything is still the same rule. The clerks you have captured one by one, and the natives who dare to resist. You take 30% of the wealth and choose eleven people."

"The King of Wu and King Xu have already gained a foothold in the local area. It has not been long since the opportunity to be a mercenary. The court has already spoken. After the fight this time, your wish will not be in vain."

"There are you guys, you just now, and when you arrive in the south, don't be loud and the rain is small, so you will be embarrassed. If you become a coward, I won't forgive you."

Xu Huiyan teased several examples and then said with some emotion: "I can see the moon bright when I wait until the clouds clear. I have been worshipping all these thirty-six times, and I will be trembling in the end. If I don't see you, wouldn't that be a pity?"

"You are all people with families and families. It has been difficult for the past few years. After fighting this battle, I will ask for me for you!"

Several examples were about to shed tears, and they felt sad.

The few people named by Xu Huiyan were red and their blood was inflated. Under the gaze of a group of local officials, they shouted: "Dare you please rest assured by the commander! The villains dare not do their best!"

"Please rest assured, the commander-in-chief will fight to kill the enemy!"

Everyone in the chamber stood up and shouted.

"Haha! OK! OK! With such energy, I am worthy of being my good man under my tent!" Xu Huiyan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

At the same time, on the dock of Hongji Port, several bald monks were disembarking from the ship.

The monk Tongxin on the shore took the novice monks to wait on the pier early.

The Buddhism in Jiaozhou is different from Buddhism in Sanbuqi, Bagan and other places, and is pure Chinese Buddhism.

Moreover, the atmosphere of worshiping Buddha there is very strong.

Although it cannot be said to be a Buddhist kingdom, it can welcome the Tripitaka scriptures, imitate the Song system, and try the people to be monks, and set up precepts to teach the precepts. Li Shengzong (reigned from 1054 to 1072), the third lord of the Li Dynasty, was even referred to as the Ashoka of India by local Buddhism. The fourth lord Li Renzong was all the kings who believed in Buddhism and vigorously protected Buddhism. In the 120 years of history of the Li Dynasty, many famous temples were built, including Xingtianyu Temple, Wufengxing Tower, Shengyan Temple, Tianwang Temple, Chongdubaotian Temple, Yonglong Shengfu Temple, Zhenjiao Temple, etc.

When the Song army swept Jiaozhou, all the monks from many Buddhist temples were moved to the Central Plains. Instead, Zhao Song chose monks to enrich Jiaozhou from Daxiangguo Temple, Baima Temple and many temples in Lingnan.

This is how monk Tongxin came to Jiaozhou.

However, with the development of Hongji Coal Mine and Port, a new Buddhist temple was established in this place, and then the monk Lusi from Jiaozhou selected Tongxin to serve as the abbot.

But no one expected that Hongji Port would develop so rapidly. With the increase of local population and the prosperity of commerce and markets, Monk Tongxin had already found that there was not enough manpower.

Then, I will report to ask for more personnel from above, or allow them to receive the novice monks on their own.

The latter is naturally not allowed. All temples of all sizes in Jiaozhou are now free, and no one is allowed to receive rituals and monks. It is naturally impossible for the monk Tongxin to make an exception.

The superior immediately transferred a few monks from Xinzang Temple in Guangzhou. Xinzang Temple is the hometown of Monk Tongxin.

The monk who led the team to give up the people was Tongxin's senior brother Tongzhen.
