Chapter 528 0525 [Manichaeism]

Guo Sheng looked respectful and said: "For the record, I have captured more than a hundred people this time."

After Fang La improved Manichaeism, he specially studied a set of brainwashing procedures.

It has miraculous effects on poor people with little education.

This Guo Sheng was originally a rebellious person. After being beaten down by Fang Qi Buddha with fists and kicks, and after two years of brainwashing, he had already given up on Manichaeism and firmly believed that Fang Qi Buddha was the reincarnation of the Buddha and would lead them. Create a holy kingdom of light.

In the future, when universal education and information dissemination are extremely developed, there are still a large number of cults around the world, and even high-ranking officials, university professors, wealthy businessmen and other political and business elites are trapped in them, let alone ancient times.

After all, it still comes down to human nature.

Xunzi's theory of evil nature has long stated that people are born to enjoy leisure and hate work, so they need to be restricted by morality and etiquette.

Cults, on the other hand, target the hidden evil in human nature and induce them step by step.

Fang Qifu slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The number of people in the village has reached 5,000. There is no need to rob the official roads anymore, so as not to attract the attention of the Qi army. The people who have been captured in the past few days have committed serious crimes. , Gather them together, and later I will preach and preach in person to eliminate their evil obstacles.”

The so-called preaching and preaching is actually a process of screening believers.

Those people who are weak-minded and easily deceived will be selected and developed into believers.

These believers will be further subdivided.

The young and strong men were recruited into the army, while the pretty women were enlisted as camp prostitutes for their subordinates to vent their sexual desires.

Children will not be spared, because children are the easiest to be brainwashed and are the best candidates to train dead soldiers.

The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled served as civilian husbands, plowing fields and growing vegetables, chopping trees and wood in their spare time, and transporting baggage during wartime.

Never underestimate the power of religious beliefs. Once these unarmed people are brainwashed, they can unleash astonishing combat power in battle.

And those whose minds are firm and unable to develop into believers will not be wasted.

Staying in the stronghold as a slave, and in wartime as cannon fodder, being the first to attack and die, it can be said that everything is put to good use.

"I obey my orders."

Guo Sheng responded loudly, but did not leave.

Seeing this, Fang Qifu asked: "What else is there?"

Guo Sheng's eyes were longing: "Buddha, I have been unable to sleep these days and nights. Maybe I have another inner demon and want to get a bliss pill."

"You have done a good job during this period, and you really deserve a reward to help you eliminate your inner demons."

Fang Qifu reached into his arms and took out a small porcelain vase.

The moment he saw the porcelain bottle, Guo Sheng's eyes were filled with fanaticism.

Taking out a black pill, Fang Qifu flicked it with his finger.

Guo Sheng pounced on the food like a vicious dog, caught the elixir, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Buddha, for the reward!"

"Go!"

Fang Qifu waved his hand.

Putting the elixir in his arms, Guo Sheng left with satisfaction.

After he left, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked out of the shadow behind the statue. He slowly said: "I wanted to take advantage of the pseudo-Song dog emperor to settle in Xi'an County, but I didn't expect that he would be killed." Qi Jun took the lead."

This person's name is General Lu, and he was originally a student of the Imperial Academy.

Because he could not be promoted to the inner residence for several consecutive years, he was eventually dismissed from the Imperial College.

Feeling resentful, General Lu simply surrendered to Fang La and made suggestions for him.

After Fangla captured Hangzhou, General Lu once offered advice and said: "If we really take Jinling, we will spread the message to all the southeastern capitals and counties to collect their taxes. We must first establish the foundation. Xu will propose a plan to capture it, which can be a cause for a hundred generations."

I have to say that this person is indeed quite talented.

If the Western Army had not been so capable, Fang La would have been able to gain a firm foothold if it had been delayed for a few more years. Without the taxes from Jiangnan and Zhejiang, Zhao Song would have been really dragged down.

Fang Qifu said calmly: "That's fine. Zhao Kai was captured alive, Zhao Ji's whereabouts are unknown, and the chaos in the south is our opportunity."

Xi'an County has been run by Fang Qifu for a long time. There are many believers and many spies are stationed. Every move can be immediately known. General Lu looked worried and said: "Han Zhen is not the foolish king of Zhao Ji, but a heroic leader. The Qi army under his command is even more powerful. I am afraid that after Zhao and Song are destroyed, it will be our turn next."

Fang Qifu, however, was not afraid at all: "Man's plan is up to man and God is up to him. I only need to seize Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi first. What can Han Zhen do to me?"

The climate in Fujian and Guangdong is completely different from that in the north. It is hot, humid and rainy. Most of the Qi army are from the north and cannot adapt to the environment in the south.

Even if Qi State recruits southerners to join the army for training, it will not take more than a year or two to form a fighting force.

Two or three years later, he had already established a firm foothold and was not afraid of the Qi army at all.

Thinking of this, Fang Qifu asked: "What's going on over there, Fifth Brother?"

The fifth brother in his mouth was Fang Wuxiangong, and like him, he was a clan brother of Fang La.

This person is resourceful and good at playing with people's hearts.

Most of Fang La's brainwashing techniques were perfected with the help of Mr. Fang Wu.

General Lu replied: "Fifth Prime Minister sent a letter yesterday, saying that a large number of believers have been developed in Jianzhou, Nanjianzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and dozens of officials have been controlled by the Paradise Pill."

"I can rest assured that Fifth Brother is doing things."

A smile appeared on Fang Qifu's face, and he immediately continued to ask: "Where is the Buddha's mother?"

General Lu said in a deep voice: "Buddha's missionary work in Guangdong and Guangxi did not go well. People in Lingnan have believed in Madam Xian since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is deeply rooted and they are extremely resistant to foreign religions."

Hearing this, Fang Qifu looked helpless.

This is not because the Buddha Mother is not doing things well, but because Mrs. Xian's prestige in Lingnan is too high.

There is an old saying in Lingnan that when entering Gaozhou Prefecture, one should first pay respect to Mrs. Xian.

When she was alive, Mrs. Xian was a heroine in the hearts of Lingnan people, with unparalleled prestige. After her death, she was regarded as a god by people of all ethnic groups in Lingnan and worshiped her for two to three hundred years.

Fujian is better. Although there is also a local deity Mazu, the influence of Mazu is not great at the moment and is only spread in a few coastal counties and towns.

In the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty granted Mazu a temple quota in Shunji.

In other words, it was only two years ago that Mazu was recognized by the Zhao Song court and qualified to build a temple and erect a statue.

However, it is just a break away from the folk temple of obscenity.

In fact, Mazu really became famous and gradually replaced Buddhism, Taoism and many other religions and became the goddess worshiped by Fujian people. It was in the 25th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty that Jiu Mei Wan Yangou named Lin Mo Mrs. Chongfu. Since then, The emperors of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties successively granted the title thirty-six times, and only then did Mazu, the concubine of heaven, come into being.

Fang Qifu ordered: "If it doesn't work, let the Buddha's mother use the bliss pill to control the officials of the counties and counties in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Soft ones are not enough, so hard ones are the only option.

General Lu said with a troubled expression: "Master Buddha, there are many officials in Guangdong and Guangxi. The Fifth Prime Minister went to Fujian before and took away 70% of the Paradise Pills. Now there are not many Paradise Pills in stock."

Fang Qifu ordered: "Give the remaining Bliss Pills to the Buddha's mother and ask her to control the Guangdong and Guangxi transfer envoys, prefects and other officials as soon as possible. We don't have much time. We must occupy Fujian and Zhejiang before the Qi army seizes the two Zhejiang roads. Guangdong and Guangxi.”

The Bliss Pill is a magical medicine he discovered two years ago.

Paradise Pill is taken from Paradise Grass. Taking it for a long time can make people feel as if they are in a fairyland and forget all worries and pains.

Objects such as Five Stone Powder are not worth mentioning in front of the Paradise Pill.

Moreover, if one suddenly fasts, it only takes a few days for the person to feel itchy and unbearable, like a hundred claws scratching his heart. Even a person with the strongest willpower cannot resist it.

Relying on the Paradise Pill, Fang Qifu has controlled many wealthy businessmen and officials on the Liangzhe Road in the past two years.

With the money of wealthy businessmen and the cover of officials, a lot of arms and food were purchased.

The power grew rapidly.

"it is good."

General Lu nodded in response.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fang Qifu stood up and said: "It's almost time. It's time for me to eliminate the evil obstacles for the new believers!"
