The Chu Kingdom in East Africa is one of the largest, most powerful, and most populous vassal states among many vassal states and colonies. Only a few colonies such as Ning Kingdom, South African Colony, and Western United Trading Company can compete with the Chu Kingdom.
Compare.
The northern part of Chu State borders Egypt, and there was a long-term land struggle in the upper reaches of the Nile River. In the end, Egypt was weak and took the initiative to give up large areas of land, ending the conflict between the two sides.
To the northeast is the west coast of the Red Sea, across the sea from the Arabian Peninsula; to the west is the vast inland African prairie, and the Chu State has been actively expanding its land inland.
To the south, it is bordered by the East African part of Ningguo; to the east, part of the area is on the coastline of the West Indian Ocean, with a pretty good coastline.
Its total land area is estimated to be more than 6 million square kilometers, including roughly all of Ethiopia, parts of Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan.
The 20,000-strong army led by Chu State General Yang Qing was mainly stationed in the north and west. The north was to compete for land with Egypt, and the west was to open up new territories.
The capital of Chu State, Izumo Castle, is located on the seaside, which is considered the southernmost area.
At this moment, the army led by Yang Qing is marching towards Izumo City.
"Report!"
"General!"
"I just received a telegram from Jiang Qi, the commander of the Red Navy of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty learned of the drastic changes in Chu State. Long Yan was furious and ordered the Red Navy and the surrounding vassals and colonies to send troops to capture the demon monk Huiming alive!"
The messenger on horseback hurriedly rode to Yang Qing's side to report.
"good!"
"Very good!"
"I know that the evil monk Huiming is unpopular and will be punished by everyone in the world. The Son of Heaven and the Holy Ming, with the help of the Great Tomorrow Army, will surely be able to easily wipe out these evil monks who are causing harm to the country and the people."
"The most important thing now is to know the news about King Chu and the princes of Chu as soon as possible to ensure their safety."
When Yang Qing heard this, he immediately laughed happily.
It would only take a matter of minutes for multiple parties to send troops together to destroy the demon monk. What he was most worried about now was the safety of King Chu and his son.
"Send my order and the whole army will speed up and advance!"
"yes!"
The 20,000-strong army marched forward in a mighty manner, but soon encountered the obstruction of 20,000 Chu imperial guards sent by Huiming.
"Bold Yang Qing!"
"Are you going to rebel?"
"Now the King of Chu has issued an edict to meditate on the Great Buddha Emperor. The Buddha Emperor will establish the true Great Freedom Buddha Kingdom in the Chu State. From now on, it will become a true pure land on earth, and the people of Chu State will be able to enjoy bliss in this world."
"You are still so stubborn. You are going against the millions of Buddhists in Chu State, and you will definitely die without a burial place."
"If it's not too late to repent now, I will ask the Buddha Emperor to confer you the title of Buddha of the Buddhist Kingdom, and you will enjoy bliss from now on. Isn't this good?"
When the two armies met, Yuan Kong shouted to Yang Qing from a distance.
"Bah, you stinky monk, you evil monk, you are still talking shamelessly here. You don't know that your death is coming."
"All officers of the Forbidden Army, listen, I am Yang Qing, and now I am going to take you to the capital to save the King of Chu and his son. Anyone who dares to stop him will be punished for treason and the nine tribes will be killed."
"If you are willing to follow me to annihilate the demonic monks, clear up the source, and protect the family of King Qin, all the blame will be forgotten. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded in the future."
"The one who kills the demon monk Yuan Kong is a third-level official. The one who kills other demon monks has done a great job!"
Yang Qing looked at this Yuankong with a look of anger. He was wearing one armor and another cassock. He was neither fish nor fowl. He spoke like a monk in front of others, speaking compassionately and doing good deeds. But behind his back, he was no different from a demon or monster. He burned, killed, looted, and bullied men.
A domineering woman does all kinds of evil.
As Yang Qing shouted, many of his soldiers also picked up the tin trumpets and shouted loudly.
All of a sudden, every one of the soldiers of the Imperial Army of Chu on Yuankong's side became shaken.
Naturally, no one had any good impressions of these monks. They were forced to embark on this path. There was nothing they could do about it, because the generals in command were all Huiming people, and a large number of monks were replaced as governors and leaders.
.
But no one wanted to rebel at all. They lived quite comfortably in Chu State. Everyone had their own large amounts of land, pastures and a large number of slaves. Their lives were very comfortable. Who wanted to rebel?
"Commanders of the Forbidden Army, listen~"
"This general has just received the order from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty knows the affairs of the Chu State. Long Yan is so angry that he has sent a telegram to the Ming Red Navy, Ning State, Huai State, Li Family Colony and other surrounding vassal states and colonies to jointly send troops.
The demon monk Huiming was purged."
"Don't be stubborn anymore. The demon monk's wisdom and demonic words deceived the people. He brought cholera to Chao Gang and forced the King of Chu to die with a thousand swords. Now follow me to kill the enemy together and wipe out the demon monk!"
Yang Qing roared angrily, then waved his hand, and the army immediately began to attack.
"Kill me!"
When Yuankong looked at it, he immediately knew that he could no longer shout. If he continued shouting, his side might really be doomed.
However, no one listened to Yuankong's words now. Except for the monks, many of the Forbidden Army soldiers stood still.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you going to rebel?"
When Yuankong and others saw it, they immediately roared angrily, and then directly hacked and killed several soldiers.
However, it was better not to take action. As soon as he did, the surrounding soldiers of the Imperial Army of Chu suddenly roared: "Kill this demon monk!"
Someone took the lead, and immediately a large number of people responded. Everyone picked up their muskets and pointed them at the monks in the army and the generals who had taken refuge with Huiming.
"Peng! Peng!"
With the sound of gunfire sounding like fried beans, Yuan Kong was directly pushed into the sieve.
"You~ you!"
Until his death, Yuan Kong's eyes were wide open and he would not rest in peace.
He still has many ambitions that have not been realized. He is still waiting to inherit the position of the Great Buddha Emperor in the future. However, everything has become a dream. The so-called Buddhist kingdom and the pure land on earth are nothing but illusions.
Scenes like this kept happening, and the military governor monks and leading monks sent by Huiming were all killed in the first place.
"Ha ha!"
"Kill well, kill well!"
When Yang Qing saw this scene, he burst out laughing with joy, and then shouted to everyone: "Soldiers of Chu State, follow me to kill!"
"Kill all the monster monks!"
Wherever Yang Qing's army passed, it was overwhelming and invincible. There was almost no resistance. Wherever it went, everyone responded actively.
At the same time, as the army advanced, all the temples along the way were destroyed. The Buddha statues and the like that were built at a large price in the temples were directly smashed and burned. Monks, nuns, etc. were killed. At the same time, a large number of monks were killed.
, after the nun heard the news, she ran away overnight, took off her cassock, threw away her scriptures, and never dared to look back.
In just a few days, tens of thousands of troops arrived at Izumo Castle.
When we arrived at Izumo Castle, we learned that the Red Navy had already arrived and surrounded Izumo Castle. There were also warships of the Ming Dynasty's Red Sea Fleet at sea, blocking the port area. It was really impossible to get out even a mosquito.
Yang Qing's army and Jiang Qi's army successfully met in Izumo City, and soon another news came out.
The King of Chu felt speechless in front of his father and fellow countrymen of Chu State. He had hanged himself in a place of confinement and left a posthumous edict to pass the throne to the crown prince of Chu State, Zhu Rong?.
Zhu Rongyu, the crown prince of the Chu Kingdom, was originally under house arrest, but the guards who had Zhu Rongyu under house arrest finally chose to return after getting lost and quietly sent Zhu Rongyu out of Izuyun City under Zhu Rongyu's persuasion.
When Yang Qing led the army to arrive, he quickly found Yang Qing to discuss the matter of attacking Yun City.
After some deliberation, the army directly began to attack the city. The 100,000 monk soldiers organized by Huiming were basically a mob. They could bully the common people in normal times, and maybe eat, drink, whore and gamble. As for the warriors, they were just a bunch of loose sand.
Facing the elite army of the Chu State and the Red Navy from the Ming Empire, the army successfully broke through Izumo City with almost no effort and fought its way in.
The demon monk Huiming committed suicide in the palace of the King of Chu. Zhu Rong ordered his body to be dragged out and crushed. At the same time, through investigations from all parties, he learned that the demon monk Huiming actually had a wife and children. It was really shocking. The so-called victory
The eminent Taoist monk, the so-called Great Buddha Emperor, is simply a lie.
Zhu Rong ascended the throne of Chu King that day under the witness of everyone, and ordered people to report it to the Emperor of Heaven, asking him to canonize him. This is the process.
With the support of general Yang Qing, Zhu Rongqi quickly took control of both the government and the public of Chu.
Only the next day, Zhu Rong issued an order to destroy the Buddha.
Suddenly, throughout the Chu State, the people of Chu State who had long been extremely dissatisfied with these monks began to completely liquidate these monks and the Only Sect.
Overnight, all the Buddha statues in hundreds of temples in Izumo City were demolished, smashed, and burned to ashes. More than 100,000 monks were killed, and tens of thousands of them were killed. The rest were all ordered to return to secular life. Among the collected scriptures
The ones like this are also powdered and burned cleanly.
At the same time, in various parts of the Chu State, the mighty campaign to exterminate Buddhism was constantly being staged.
In the court, in addition to the demonic monks who were liquidated, the ministers who had taken refuge in Huiming and secretly joined the Only Sect were also liquidated one after another. Their heads were being killed so many that even the ministers in the court and the public of the Chu State were in disbelief.
Save one.
What happened in the Chu State also quickly spread to the surrounding colonies and vassal states. People in each vassal state and colony also took warning and began to vigorously cleanse various sects, especially the only sect that came from the Chu State.
Extensive cleaning.
Everyone is afraid that something like Chu will happen in their own territory.
Because of this incident in the Chu Kingdom, the King of Chu committed suicide. Tens of thousands of people died. The losses were heavy and the vitality was severely damaged. Everyone did not want to make the same mistake again.
