Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 754 Holy War
Shaotian five years, late autumn October.

In Xishan, Beijing, the maple leaves in Yong'an Temple in Xiangshan are as red as burning flames, especially when they are exposed, they are deep purple.

Zhu Yihai had been to Xiangshan to see the red leaves before, he also went to Badaling to see the red leaves, and even saw the red leaves in Qinling.But it was all in another time and space. At that time, he came to Beijing several times. He had meetings and tours. When he came to Beijing in autumn, he must go to Xiangshan. The nearly [-] red maples are really beautiful.

However, there are too many tourists and the experience is not good.

At this time, Zhu Yihai looked at Xiangshan, but found that there were not many red maples, only the Da Yong'an Temple built by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had a large area of ​​red maples, which looked very beautiful, but it lacked the kind of red maple that bloomed all over the mountain. The majestic atmosphere of sunrise.

Some people say that Yong'an Temple was actually built in the Tang Dynasty. It was also called Xiangshan Temple or Ganlu Temple. It suffered little damage.

"The red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain can be said to be the most intense autumn colors in Beijing. Today's weather is beautiful, clear and refreshing, and the red leaves in Xiangshan Temple are also red. It's just the right time."

Zhu Yihai strolled in Xiangshan Temple.

The Great Yong'an Temple has also just undergone rectification and elimination, retaining [-] monks, which are considered to be of a higher level, and leaving [-] acres of land.

However, the bronze statue of the Golden Buddha has been sold.

Not many people come to the temple to offer incense.

When Zhu Yihai came to the temple, he didn't let the abbot and monks greet him and accompany him. He took the prince and King of Han, accompanied by Wen Anzhi, Wang Zhiren, Zhang Mingzhen and other civil and military officials for a leisurely walk.

The scenery of Xiangshan Mountain is really good. Even though there are not many red maple trees at this time, but without the crowded tourists, the impression is very good.

There is an emperor's palace in Xiangshan, which was built during the Jin Dynasty, and it was repaired in the later dynasties. Although most of the property, decorations, etc. in the palace were evacuated at this time, the foundation is still there. After a simple repair, it is still quite good. .

"Mi Layin and Ding Guodong rebelled in Gansu, refused to enter the imperial camp, called Gansu the Gansu of Gansu people, guarded Lanzhou, and sent people to collude with the Yarkand Khanate.

Abrun, governor of Turpan in Yarkand, was dissatisfied with the imperial court's previous mediation of the Western Regions, and even refused to recognize the Oirat's occupation of Turpan and Hami.

Babai sent his eldest son, Toulontai, to lead 2000 people to Lanzhou, claiming to repel our Daming army into Gansu together. "

Zhu Yihai was not surprised by the news of the rebellion, and was not even panicked at all.

Even the emperor could have expected this step a long time ago. In other words, Mi Layin and the others have been able to fight against the Qing rebels and now they are against the Ming Dynasty. The emperor is also deliberately fueling the flames.

As for why, the reason is simple. In the eyes of the emperor, there has long been a pustule there, and it is better to pick it up early if conditions permit.

"Our dynasty originally set up a volunteer vanguard battalion in Ganzhou, Hexi, all of which were native returning soldiers. At the end of Chongzhen, it was led by the native official returning to the governor Mi Layin, and the soldiers and horses were self-provided. Therefore, the governor and the general soldiers have always been handed over. The title of a general in the relative committee. He is the champion of the three armies, and he is a native official of Huihui.

Mi Layin and Ding Guodong are both native officials, Mi Layin is Huihui and Ding Guodong is Semu.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the generals and guerrillas appointed by the imperial court were all attached to the Chuangjun Dashun, and they were still given military posts to lead the headquarters.Later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Mi Layin and others were also ignorant immediately, and took advantage of the opportunity to return to the Qing Dynasty, and they all dropped their original posts.

Speaking of which, people like Mila Yinding Guodong are actually similar to those of Qin Liangyu and Ma Wannian, the southwestern chieftains, but compared to the loyalty, righteousness and courage of Qin Liangyu's generation of heroines, Mi Ding and others are just grassroots and local warlords in troubled times. Vote for whoever is strong, there is no position at all.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gansu Governor Lin Rirui was originally the superior of Mi Layin and Ding Guodong. Later, when the Shun army attacked Ganzhou, Mi Layin Ding Guodong secretly turned against him, and Lin Rirui was defeated and died.Later, Lin Rirui's nephew was appointed by the Qing Committee as a branch patrol in Gansu.

After he arrived in Ganzhou, Yan Zhi broke into the remnants of the party, especially the second general Mi Ding, and wanted to punish him, which led to a mutiny.The second general of Mi Ding raised the flag to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, claiming to belong to Lu Jianguo, and suddenly became a famous general.Later, Yuan Shun defeated He Hongqi and others from Guanzhong to Long. Zhu Pengfei divided his troops with them after he was ordered to reorganize.

In the following few years, the imperial court gave them titles, assigned them to Longshan to contain the Qing army in Guanzhong, and even asked Mi Layin to go out of Jiayuguan to collect the empty Hexi Four Guards when Oirat captured Turpan Hami. old ground.

If you want to say credit, then of course there is credit.

But still to this point, the most important thing is that Mi Layin and Ding Guodong are just local officials in Gansu. In the Central Plains, especially with the containment and cooperation of the imperial camp, they easily controlled half of Gansu, especially the Hexi area.

This made them a little swollen. In the past few years, they have also disobeyed the order, recruiting soldiers and buying horses privately, and they have a not weak army in their hands.

The emperor wanted to reorganize the supernumerary troops in Guiyi Town and Hexi several times, and even wanted to take back local taxes, governance rights, etc., but they did not cooperate.

The emperor wanted to switch the generals of Guiyi Town, but they didn't do it either.

In fact, the relationship between the two parties has long been tense. Mi Layin and Ding Guodong have already regarded Gansu as their private territory, and even reached a secret agreement with Wu Sangui before, asking the Northwest Union to guarantee autonomy.

They also secretly lobbied Jia Hongqi and others to carve up Longyou.

In the end, he colluded with the people of the Yarkand Khanate.

As for the fact that it is finally reversed now, the reason for raising the flag is the Buddhist and Taoist reforms that the imperial court is carrying out.There are many Huihui in Guanlong, and these people are quite special.

During the Tang Dynasty, with the eastward expansion of the Great Food, many people from Central Asia and the Western Regions began to convert to the Crescent Sect. Later, during the Mongolian Expedition, a large number of Central Asian, Persian, and Arab soldiers and craftsmen believed in the Crescent Sect. , merchants, etc. moved to Northwest China and the coastal provinces, and gradually merged with the local Han and Mongolian people.

The earliest Huihui actually belonged to the Semu people in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that Huihui officially existed, mainly in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.

The most unique feature of Huihui is that they are an ethnic group formed by believing in the New Moon Sect, and they are actually composed of many ethnic groups such as Central Asia, Mongolia, and Central Plains.

Later in the period of the Republic of China, some people once said that Huihui were Han people who believed in the New Moon Sect. In fact, although it was not accurate, it was not completely wrong, because in the northwest, there were indeed many Han and Mongolian people who eventually became members of Huihui because they believed in the New Moon Sect. .

By this time, there were already a large number of Huihui from Shaanxi and Gansu. Like the Yarkand, they believed in the Crescent Sect, which was different from the Mongols who believed in Tibetan Buddhism, and also different from the Han people.

Huihui is scattered and small.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Huihui, like the Mongols, also had a gradual process of internalization.In Shanxi-Gansu, Huihui continued to reclaim wasteland and farm land, and Huihui who belonged to them continued to migrate, and the population continued to increase.

Counties from Guanzhong in Shaanxi, Hezhou in Gansu, and Lingzhou in Ningxia to Guyuan in Pingliang have a large number of Hui people, forming a large number of settlements.

In the Ming Dynasty, Hui Hui also merged with Han and Mongolian and other multi-ethnic groups to gradually form a new ethnic group of Hui Hui.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang prohibited Mongolian Semu people from changing their surnames, restricted intermarriage among Muslims, and adopted a policy of forced assimilation. However, Zhu Yuanzhang had a decree to recognize and protect the Crescent Temple and the Crescent Sect, which also left hidden dangers.

After nearly 300 years, the soldiers and civilians who cultivated fields in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia in the early Ming Dynasty have multiplied and established stable gathering areas. The difference between the Han people is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Ma Shouying, the Hui people in northern Shaanxi and Gansu became one of the main force of the peasant army. Through the formation of regiment training, village bravery, and attachment to the new dynasty, they began to have their own powerful armed forces, and even gradually controlled many places in Shaanxi and Gansu.

Zhu Yihai also saw early on that there was a huge difference between the cultural customs of the Huihui in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and the cultural customs of the Han people, and they were very xenophobic. The **** meaning of returning home.

Of course Zhu Yihai couldn't tolerate this kind of separatist forces, so he didn't compromise blindly, but decisively decided to take the initiative to break the pustules.

The reform of Buddhism and Taoism in various places has also issued an order to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, demanding that it be implemented in depth.

This is the most direct strike against Protestantism.

In particular, Zhu Yihai directly designated the Crescent Sect as a cult and obscene temple, banned it, demolished the Protestant temples, confiscated and burned the scriptures of the Crescent Sect, and moved all the elders of the Crescent Sect to Gyeonggi.

Such a drastic policy is obviously intended to intensify the contradiction.

And the emperor did this because he knew that if he followed the advice of many ministers and adopted a tolerant and easing policy towards them, especially following the common customs and keeping things safe, the consequences have already been demonstrated in history, and the consequences would be very tragic. s consequence.

Tongzhi Huichao is the most painful lesson. The most important thing is that if you completely follow the custom, then if this continues, the tragedy will repeat itself, and you may even really have to separate.

If you want to open a window, you should first propose to knock down the house.

Going back to the interior, especially the eunuchs have become a powerful family, integrating the roles of patriarchs, landlords, and gentlemen, and becoming the de facto masters of the local discourse power. These people have a stronger control over the local area than those gentry in the Han area. Much, similar to the authority of the gentry patriarch of a big family.

The unity of religion and clan is the most critical point.

It is impossible to simply change customs and customs. It must be done like what Dashi did when he went east to preach. Only then can it be possible to change.

Zhu Yihai deliberately banned religion, moved imams to Beijing, reorganized and abolished the Longyou Hui Army, etc. The essence is that it has reached the point where nothing can be broken and nothing can be established, and simple appeasement and so on are no longer feasible.

When Nikan fell, Wu Sangui was forced to hand over his military power and go to Beijing, and after the imperial battalion moved into Guanzhong, Zhu Yihai had already started to act. The plan had been carefully considered for several years, and now it was only time to act.

The emperor was not only targeting Mila Yinding Guodong for not obeying his will and refusing to accept the reorganization, but to truly regain the ruling power of Guanlong. The greening of the integration of clan and religion would mean that a Huihui country would be established in the northwest. not allowed.
