In addition, Yan Xiang was also awarded the official position of Huangmen Shilang, under Jia Xu. Because Xu Wen handled the affairs of the Ministry of War effectively, he removed the previous title of "temporary generation" and became the Minister of the Ministry of War. In many cases,
In people's minds, this is a signal, marking the decline of the "Liangzhou Clan" and the rise of the "Yuancong Clan".
Although the army is still full of heroes from Xiliang, the two generals who founded the government are not from Liangzhou. Zhao Yun is appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and Xu Rong is appointed as the governor of Sanhe (Hedong, Hanoi, and Henan), both of whom have the ability to conquer their own territory.
Regarding the rights of officials and staff, these two are not from Xiliang.
There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. Although Chen Cheng sneered at these things, he couldn't resist those who liked to form cliques. This is probably human nature, and it can never be changed no matter how long it takes.
Yang Xiu became the governor of Nanyang, and he was warmly welcomed by Liu Biao. In Liu Jingsheng's view, this should be a gesture of goodwill from the court. Who is Yang Xiu? He is the son of the late Taiwei Yang Biao, how could he succumb to Xiaoxiao?
In the position of prefect? He came to Nanyang just to get gold plating.
Liu Xian now has Yang Xiu under his command and Huang Zu under his command, so he feels that he can be high-spirited and worry-free.
Then, the autumn harvest season came, and the crops in the fields turned golden, and Guanzhong and Liangzhou were full of joy and laughter. The weather was good this year, and under the guidance of the government, new composting methods were used in various places, and the output increased.
Quite a bit, everyone can finally have a good year.
The people in Bingzhou and Sili breathed a sigh of relief. After a long period of war, they finally settled down this year. Although there were often rumors of bandits escaping in the countryside, they were no longer active under the attack of the government.
Under the temptation of "dividing fields and tax exemption", many thieves put down their weapons, ran down the mountain, and became common people again.
There are also many people who have fled from Yanzhou, Hanoi, and even Yuzhou, just to be able to redistribute the land. This is partly due to the spontaneous propaganda of the people, but also due to the secret activities of people from the "Military Horse Statistics Section". The Wang Yue faction
Many spies went to these places to seduce the people there and run away.
Although not many people have fled to Sili for various reasons, this is just the beginning. As long as the system in various places remains the same, more and more people will flee. Regarding the increasing number of people fleeing, Chen Gong and others wrote a letter
The court hopes that the court can use severe punishments to stop it and send those who escaped.
In response to this, the imperial court issued an edict: "Abolish the enslavement of Han people and allow them to move freely. Violators will be severely punished." As soon as the edict was issued, there was an uproar in various places, but this was a virtuous policy and stood for
The moral high ground. Although many people oppose this law, there are also many people who sing its praises.
As a result, the scholars split into two groups and quarreled with each other. When the scholars all over the world were involved in debates and quarrels, the National Academy of Sciences was established in Chang'an, and Fa Zheng became the first president. Later, the Academy of Sciences was recruiting
After recruiting some people, he founded "Pravda" and awarded the title of "Scientist" to ten people who had made outstanding contributions in mathematics, physics, chemistry and geographical research.
Over the years, Chen Cheng has tinkered with too many new things. Although the newly established Academy of Sciences once attracted everyone's attention, it was quickly overshadowed by other things. However, some court ministers saw opportunities in it.
While urging his children to study "Chen Studies", they jointly funded a "Halal News".
When Chen Cheng heard this name, he felt confused. When will the unbelievers be burned? He thought to himself: Buddhism has been thrown to the Western Regions, why should other sects be thrown away as well?
Isn’t it the past? But didn’t these sects come from the west?
Later, when I sent someone to inquire, I found out that this was the meaning of Qingliu Zhenli, which had nothing to do with anything else. After Chen Cheng figured it out, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt relieved. Religion under the current imperial rule is
It is completely prohibited. He told people in public more than once: If you want to preach openly, it is not impossible. Just call their god out and let the government prove that it is really a god.
Some people ask, how to prove it?
Chen Cheng replied: "At the very least, it must be indestructible with a knife, indestructible in fire, and indestructible in water..."
After that, few people dared to promote false gods and evil gods. When the government caught those who claimed to be immortals and gods, they would cut them with a knife first. If they could be cut with a steel knife and they could act as if nothing had happened, then let's talk about other things. In fact, Chen Cheng also
He was looking forward to it, hoping to meet a real immortal, but it was a pity that none of those who were beheaded survived without death, so he was very disappointed.
The attack on all kinds of demons and evil spirits swept away the chaos under the imperial court, but it also brought about a consequence that Chen Cheng did not expect. A sect called "Truth Sect" quietly flourished in Liangzhou and Guanzhong.
, this sect claims that General Chen Cheng is the only god in the world, and lists various miracles of the general, attracting many ignorant people to join.
It’s enough for ignorant people to join in. The problem is that many local soldiers, current soldiers, and some officials have also joined in. This phenomenon is not very serious in Guanzhong, but it is already widespread in Xiliang.
This sect has arisen in various places before, and it was only recently that it was named "Truth Sect".
Even if some officials did not believe this, they did not dare to interfere with the affairs of the Truth Religion. Later, the matter became serious because the Truth Religion began to collect tithes. Some believers used this as an excuse to refuse to pay grain to the government. Xu Chao heard that
After learning about this incident, he immediately stabbed Chen Cheng in front of him.
Xu Chao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, is a man who is not afraid of anything. No matter who he is, as long as he doesn't pay taxes, he dares to chase others. It was only then that Chen Cheng was shocked to find that he had become a god in the world. He looked carefully.
After checking, I discovered that the Truth Sect already has hundreds of thousands of believers, and its influence spreads all over the government and the public. There are also many people in the army who believe in this religion.
Soldiers, especially those who need to charge into battle and face life and death, often wander on the edge of life and death, and easily fall into the embrace of religion. Chen Cheng is very dissatisfied with this situation and believes that these people are completely contrary to what he wants.
The idea of building an enlightened secular society.
He originally wanted to uproot the Truth Religion, but some information came from Wang Yue, which made him temporarily stop his actions.
"Are you saying that there are many people in Hanzhong and Zang Ba who also believe in the Truth?"
Chen Cheng asked very strangely: "You said there are people in Liangzhou and Guanzhong who believe this. I can also understand how people in Hanzhong and Taishan believe this?"
Wang Yue said respectfully: "Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Zang Ba in Qingzhou believe in ghosts and gods. My lord is famous and famous, so he is considered a god by them."
"That's it," Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "In the future, we will send people to supervise this Truth Religion, and all those who collect money will be sent to the Western Regions to grow cotton! How dare you collect tithes? Will we still establish a religion in the future?
Tribunal?"
After the general spoke, the people below immediately took action. Hundreds of patriarchs and missionaries were sent to the Western Regions. The imperial court also officially issued an edict, ordering that no more gatherings and tax resistance incidents should occur, even if they were together.
Not even walking in the street.
The matter was settled in this way, and the Truth Religion, which had the power of starting a prairie fire in Liangzhou and Guanzhong, fell silent. For a long time, it could only operate underground, and no longer dared to build temples, compile and publish
Exaggerations such as scriptures are no longer visible at least on the surface.
But after those patriarchs and missionaries arrived in the Western Regions, they quickly turned the Western Regions red. They hugged each other and preached the theory that "the general is the only true god in the world" all day long. After putting on steel armor, they held nails in one hand.
With a head hammer and science as a weapon in one hand, he quickly defeated all the cults in the Western Region.
The most important thing is that there are many officials and soldiers in the Western Regions Changshi Mansion who believe in this. Many of them have fought under Chen Cheng and have personally experienced the miracles the patriarchs talked about. With just a little contact, they are devoted to the truth.
The truth religion not only asks people to exercise and fight against Di Yi, but also asks people to work hard to learn various scientific knowledge. It is said that books such as "Mathematics", "Physics", and "Chemistry" are the fundamental scriptures of the truth religion.
.
The power of cults that have mastered scientific knowledge is not that great. Buddhism, Nestorianism, Tianfang Sect, Taoism, etc. are all scum in front of the Truth Sect. Later, Zhang Lu even sent people to the Western Regions to invite
The Patriarch went to Hanzhong to preach. Those Patriarchs were all muscular men, wearing steel armor, with a hammer in one hand and science in the other.
They often fought with the barbarians in the Western Regions. Even if they did not study military affairs specifically, they knew how to organize small-scale armies to fight. After arriving in Hanzhong, these patriarchs guided the followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect.
Learning how to fight and farm made Liu Zhang's head huge.
Seeing that the invited people from the Truth Sect were indeed effective, Zhang Lu took advantage of the situation and revised the doctrine, claiming that the general was the incarnation of Tao, so he could be invincible, and that was why he could perform various miracles. The believers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect actually also
Believing him to be true, he built a temple for Chen Cheng in Hanzhong and gave him the title "Emperor Gouchen".
Gou Chen is a great god in ancient legends. Zhang Lu didn't care whether he had the right name or not, he just used it anyway. Of course, he did this not because he truly believed that Chen Cheng was the incarnation of a god, but because after doing so,
You can make good friends with Xiliang. The Truth Cult has only gone underground in Xiliang, but it has not been completely cut off, and its power is still very large.
Inspired by the patriarchs, many retired soldiers brought their own rations to Hanzhong to help Zhang Lu fight the war. The powerful people in Xiliang also took the opportunity to sell a lot of military supplies. After the disarmament and change of equipment, Xiliang had many
The armors and weapons were piled in the warehouse. Not only did they take up space, but they also had to be maintained regularly. Being able to sell them to Hanzhong was a happy event for everyone.
