Is the White Lotus Sect about to make a comeback?
The original dynasty has always believed in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and fundamentally speaking, the three religions are unified in terms of values and form.
The White Lotus Sect originated in the Tang Dynasty and was classified as a heretic in the Song Dynasty. Because it is different from the three traditional religions, its sutras and meanings are too confusing. It advocates that one should live in front of the Buddha in this life and go to the Paradise of Paradise after death to benefit future generations. It is simple, clear and
Different from traditional scriptures, the practice of practicing monkhood at home to cultivate merits in the next life is extremely concealed.
Moreover, the most intolerable thing for the imperial court was the association among White Lotus sect members. All believers treated themselves as brothers and sisters, and the number could easily reach hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, hostile officials will gather people to cause trouble and fight against the imperial court. Once their leaders have different aspirations, the consequences will be disastrous.
It was regarded as a heresy in the Song Dynasty, but in the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolians from the grassland believed in Buddhism and at the same time had the most pious respect for other gods. Therefore, in the Yuan Dynasty, gods and goddesses from all walks of life were flying all over the sky.
The White Lotus Sect developed rapidly in the Yuan Dynasty, and due to the difficult people's livelihood in the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers' extortionate expropriations aroused public anger, and the White Lotus Sect became the spiritual sustenance of many poor people.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the White Lotus Sect absorbed the teachings of the Ming Sect, which flourished in the Song Dynasty, and reached its peak.
Strictly speaking, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was partly due to the White Lotus Sect.
At the end of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, war broke out all over the world, and the White Lotus Sect took the lead in the uprising. Liu Futong and Du Zunxian were in the north, and one eye of the Yellow River stirred up rebellion in the world. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and craftsmen revolted by the Yellow River, and it quickly swept through Henan.
Moreover, this armed force repeatedly defeated the Yuan army that came to encircle and suppress it. It even defeated Timur, the brother of Tuotuo, the prime minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty at that time, with 300,000 elite soldiers fleeing, and its power was unprecedentedly strong and spread across several states.
He even welcomed Han Lin'er, the son of White Lotus leader Han Shantong, as the emperor, established his capital in Bozhou, and named his country the Song Dynasty.
This army was called the Northern Red Scarf Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Guan killed Li Xixi and others by detouring around Mount Taishang, burned down the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and invaded Goryeo. On the other hand, Li Wu Cui
The Germans captured Tongguan and stationed troops in Shaanxi.
At the same time, Mao Gui, who also belonged to the Red Turban Army camp in the north, started his Northern Expedition from Shandong. The closest distance to Yuan Dadu was only a few hundred miles away.
What kind of momentum is this? It can be said that the Northern Red Scarf Army disrupted half of the Yuan Dynasty with its own strength.
At that time, the old man was also affiliated with the Northern Red Turbans. Not only was he affiliated with Miaohong, he was also a member of Miaohong. Because he was Guo Zixing, the leader of the Huaixi Red Turban Army, and he was directly led by Liu Futong and others after the army started.
There is Liu Futong in the north and Monk Peng in the south.
Peng Yingyu encouraged her disciple Zou Pusheng from Macheng, Hubei to raise troops in Qizhou, echoing the Red Scarf Army in the north. Supporting Xu Huizu to proclaim himself emperor, he quickly swept across the south, conquered Huguang, Jiangxi, and even once invaded Hangzhou.
The old man’s old enemy, Chen Youliang, was born in the Southern Red Turban.
At that time, it was precisely because of the two battlefields, one in the south and one in the north, that the Yuan Dynasty mobilized many elite troops from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to fight. Therefore, when the fighting there was dark and the sky was dark, the old man's men had the opportunity to grow.
It can be said that the old man was born in the Red Scarf Army founded by the White Lotus Sect, and he was well aware of the dangers of the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, after the team grew, he began to eliminate the influence of the White Lotus Sect. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he went on a killing spree.
No believers will be left alive!
Thirty years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I thought that the White Lotus Sect was dead long ago, but I didn't expect that it would still revive.

The atmosphere in Lezhizhai is a bit solemn.
Xia Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Bao Zhao, the Minister of Justice, and others had earth-colored faces. Next to them, Xu Huizu and a group of generals from the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, as well as Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, also had horrified faces.
"I am guilty!" Xia Shu saw sweat on his forehead and leaned over and said, "The Ministry of Punishment failed to find out that the strongman who robbed Yangzhou Post is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect!"
Zhu Yunxi turned his back to them and looked out the window, his face as cold as ice and he said nothing.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter should not be taken lightly. The top priority is to immediately issue an arrest warrant and inform the local authorities that any wrongdoers will be killed!" Bao Zhao is a man with a ferocious face, and now his face is filled with murderous intent.
"We must capture Tian Jiucheng and others and bring them to Beijing!"
"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhenzhi, the imperial censor of the Imperial Palace, also said, "I have invited you to go to Shaanxi to supervise the handling of this case!"
Everyone knows the dangers of the White Lotus Sect. Under the brainwashing of those demagogic teachings, even if there is trouble in just one county, it will be a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of people. What's more, the White Lotus Sect's consistent trick is to count places
If activated at the same time, it is impossible to prevent them.
"There is another aspect that I am worried about!" Zhu Yunxi slowly turned around and glanced over. People from the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War all knelt down, "How could the White Lotus Sect spread in the army?" As he spoke, his tone changed.
Extremely harsh, "The desertion case in Hongwu in the 25th year has only come to light now. What do you do for food?"
"I am waiting for death!" Xu Huizu said hurriedly.
In fact, this was an unforeseen disaster for him. In the 25th year of Hongwu, he had not yet taken control of the Governor's Mansion. Besides, the frontier army lived in a poor and harsh environment and was precarious. There were also many soldiers who believed in various gods. Everyone understood this.
Not announced.
For soldiers, they cannot live without spiritual sustenance.
(An interesting story comes to mind when I write this. The Qing Dynasty flag army built the Yuewang Temple and Guandi Temple all the way from Heilongjiang to Yahasak, as well as to the Western Regions and other places)
"If I pursue you for what happened in the past, you will be dissatisfied!" Zhu Yunxi said, "But from now on, I order the commanders of all the guards and border armies, and even the provincial commanders, to investigate strictly!"
"According to the order!"
"You, the Ministry of Punishment!" Zhu Yunxi turned to the Ministry of Punishment and continued, "Everywhere, we must also strictly investigate the members of the White Lotus Sect!"
"According to the order!"
At this time, Hou Yong, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was listening by the side, said, "Just now, several of the lords of the capital said that they would immediately send out arrest warrants and arrest people immediately. Do you think this is a bit of a shock?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an official from the Ministry of Punishment looked at him angrily.
"Please tell me carefully!" Zhu Yunxi said as he sat down and drank tea.
Hou Yong suddenly stopped looking at the others and said, "At this time, Tian Jiucheng and other demons probably don't know that the imperial court knows that he is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, let alone that the imperial court knows his lair and secret code."
"From the hub to the local area, there will be a lot of excitement. The White Lotus Sect has great magical powers. If there are people in the government, they will know the government's actions in advance!"
"It would be better if they escape again by then. I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and start trouble in advance." As he said, he sighed, "I was the Chief Secretary in Henan, so I know some local things!"
"A cult like the White Lotus sect not only has outlaws, but also monks, local tycoons, and even famous scholars. The imperial court has always executed the White Lotus sect bandits on the spot and has never been lenient. Therefore, these people faced harsh punishments.
Extraordinarily united!”
"If these people unite and suddenly launch an attack, it will be difficult to resist them given the local armed forces. And because they start the attack hastily, the greater the disaster they will cause!"
Zhu Yunxi listened silently and kept thinking.
What Hou Yong said does make sense. Arresting people with great fanfare can sometimes be counterproductive.
"So what I mean is!" Hou Yong continued, "Since we know his hometown, we should first send troops to surround him. Then we will send secret agents to contact him. Chen Qi won't be prepared to capture him in one fell swoop!" After saying that, he cupped his hands and said, "Wait a minute.
In my opinion, it would be best to kill him with the power of thunder without causing uproar in the city!"
"You also said that the White Lotus Sect bandits have great magical powers. Presumably, Tian Jiuzheng's home base has long been the White Lotus Sect's lair. Where can we mobilize troops? What if there are also his people in the surrounding guards?" Xia Shu asked.
He was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, while Hou Yong was the official of the Ministry of Personnel. Hou Yong's words were tantamount to overstepping his bounds.
On the side, Yang Jing, the censor of the Imperial Guard, sneered and said, "Xia Shangshu, what if the news is leaked? Can you afford it?"
"You..." Xia Shu was furious.
"That's enough!" Zhu Yunxi slapped his tea cup on the table with a bang, and said angrily, "When has it been? Are you still saying this in front of me?"
"I have been waiting for ten thousand deaths. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Zhu Yunxi calmed down his anger and said, "Xu Huizu!"
"I'm here!"
"I will give you a written order later. You can send it to the King of Qin to mobilize the King of Qin's elite personal guards." Hou Yong's words make sense. It is best not to use the local garrison for such things.
"If you write to Shandong again, He Guangyi will rush to Shaanxi!"
Currently, He Guangyi, the commander of Jinyiwei, is in Shandong and is responsible for handling the transportation of firearms to Japan.
A case like this would really be impossible without Jin Yiwei.
"I obey the decree!" Xu Huizu kowtowed.
Zhu Yunxi thought again and said, "I am going to give the edict to the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province. He is responsible for such a big thing, and he has no knowledge at all. How can he be an official? I will not hold him accountable for his ignorance, but now we are about to exterminate the demon bandits. This matter
Ask him to take charge locally. Tell him that if something goes wrong in such a big matter and causes even the slightest civil commotion, I will personally arrange a place for him in Yingtian Mansion's Pi Temple!"
After the words fell, all the ministers broke out in cold sweat.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the skin temple. It was a nightmare for officials in the Ming Dynasty.
"Everyone get down!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, "Li Jinglong is waiting outside!"
When everyone in the palace went down, Zhu Yunxi waved his hands silently.
Wang Shai stepped forward and said, "Long live my Lord, my servant is here!"
"Go, call Qingyan over!" Zhu Yunxi said, rubbing his temples.

I am really shameless, but I really have a shameless reason today.
I'm going on a blind date, hehe! It's a lifelong event, and I can't let my iron egg and silver gun rust.
