The reason why Daomen can claim to be civilized is not largely because of how civilized Daomen is. It is mainly due to the foil of other people. Under the foil of robbers and villains, even an ordinary person will be as brilliant as a sage and gentleman.
tall.
It is precisely where there is black that there is white, and where there is evil there is good.
The reason why the Taoist sect did not engage in slave trade was because after overthrowing the Confucian sect and the Great Wei Dynasty, the Taoist sect began to comprehensively advocate the concept of equality in order to eliminate the influence of the Confucian sect and oppose the Confucian order of superiority and inferiority. As a result, the Daxuan court also
The abolition of the lowly status system that had lasted for thousands of years directly led to the existence of the Jiaofangsi in name only, and had to turn to the employment system. Today, servants still exist in the Central Plains, but these servants do not belong to the lowly status. They can also participate in the imperial examinations and marry normally.
If you want to marry someone, the host family cannot kill you at will, otherwise you will have to pay with your life. This is actually the nature of employment.
There was a female Taoist priest surnamed Yu in the Taoist sect. She was very famous because of her good looks and good at greeting people. However, she was eventually executed by the Taoist sect for killing her maid.
If Daomen engages in slave trade, it will violate its own concept of equality. Double standards will cause huge backlash, which is directly reflected in ideological confusion and division. And it will open a hole. At first, it will look for slaves from outside, and in the "source of goods"
"With insufficient resources and huge profits, the slave trade will eventually develop to our own people, which will cause endless harm. ??
Furthermore, Daomen has to transport a large number of immigrants to Borneo every year to strengthen its control over Borneo, so Daomen is still very short of people.
Therefore, Daomen firmly resists such acts.
Because slaves cannot be kept, some people keep slaves in the name of "adopted sons" or "adopted daughters." They are children in name, but in fact they are slaves.
However, the Taoist sect is also strictly prohibited. As for the Li family, no one dares to say that the Li family's adoption of an adopted son is an act of slavery. After all, it has happened that the adopted son is the head of the family. In this regard, it is the Li family's
Implement the concept of equality most thoroughly.
It can only be said that people with different fates have different fates. For example, Qi Xuansu is actually the adopted son adopted by Qiniang, but he was adopted halfway, but his treatment is similar to that of his own son, which makes Zhang Yuelu feel helpless and makes Li Qingnu envious and jealous. Some adopted sons and daughters,
In fact, it sounds nice, but in fact, he is a slave who wants to work for his adoptive father.
After Maginot left, Li Tiangang reported the matter to Master Qingwei.
After listening to this, Master Qingwei pushed forward an official letter, "It is expected that Westerners will be restless. Take a look at this."
Li Tiangang picked up the official letter and scanned it quickly, his expression slightly changed, "Is this from Deputy Hall Master Qi?"
Master Qingwei nodded and said, "I used Qi Tianyuan correctly this time. He sent me three copies in total."
The first one was the secret letter that successfully recruited Suzuka Gozen, the second one was a detailed explanation of how the Tsuchimikado-ryu Onmyoji made a mistake, and the third one was this one, which he accidentally discovered on the way to Suzuka Mountain
A metropolitan of the Holy See secretly participated in the gathering of the Taoists and promised all kinds of support to the Taoists."
Li Tiangang said solemnly, "Although this has been expected for a long time, I didn't expect that Westerners would be so bold and dare to go to the Ise area. I wonder what your opinion is?"
Master Qingwei said calmly, "Let them help, but let's see how much gold and silver they have to fill the bottomless pit of Fenglinzhou. We are only separated from Fenglinzhou by a small half of the East China Sea, but they are not separated from Fenglinzhou."
Is it because we are separated by more than half of Southeast Asia? I wonder who can afford it more? Moreover, refueling tactics have always been a taboo among military strategists. They think that using Japanese lives to consume us is to bleed us, but in the end, who is giving it to whom?
Bloodletting is still unknown."
Li Tiangang immediately understood what Master Qingwei meant.
If the Taoist faction fights against the Taoist sect in a group, it will probably be five people fighting ten people, which can indeed cause losses to the Taoist sect. In this case, it is of practical significance for Westerners to support the Taoist sect, as they can continue to bleed the Taoist sect. But
If the Fighting Dao Sect is completely defeated, and the remaining stragglers turn into ten people who come up to the Dao Sect one by one, they will not be able to cause any damage to the Dao Sect. Instead, they will become the Dao Sect and bleed blood for the Holy Court.
Furthermore, the Taoist sect will not blindly pay attention to civilization. After the forces of the Taoist sect are reduced to pieces, it will indeed be difficult for the Taoist sect to eliminate them, and it will cause a lot of waste. But after reaching this point, there is no need for the Taoist sect to do it personally.
Because Daomen also supported Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office. In the past, Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office has ruled Fenglinzhou for nearly two hundred years. It can be said that it is deeply rooted and has rich experience in suppressing rebellions. Even before the defeat of Ise
, Prime Minister Toyotomi was still on the offensive for a while, so it was up to Prime Minister Toyotomi to take charge of how to clear out the stragglers, and the Taoist sect could withdraw and declare the end of the war.
The game involved is naturally quite complicated, but the distance determines that the role that the Holy Court can play is quite limited and will not be changed by any strategy.
…
Toyotomi Chiyo was walking on the streets of Yoshida Castle, wearing the clothes of a female Taoist priest. She was followed by two spiritual officers responsible for guarding her. Behind her were two samurai from the Prime Minister's Office and two Onmyoji from Onmyoliao.
Pedestrians gave way and looked at her with awe.
for
Toyotomi Chiyo has long been accustomed to this kind of awe. After all, she has another identity - the sister of the previous regent Guan Bai, and the princess of Toyotomi Prime Minister's Palace.
At this time, Toyotomi Chiyo was more sentimental. Her brother Toyotomi Hidetsugi died in Ise. She had prayed to the Taoist ancestors countless times, hoping that the heavenly soldiers of the Taoist sect would descend from the sky and avenge her brother. And the Taoist ancestors and the Taoist sect also finally
She was not disappointed, Taoist heavenly soldiers really appeared, so she requested to follow the Taoist army to Ise, and Fenglinzhou Taoist Mansion agreed to her request.
It was only when Toyotomi Chiyo came to the devastated Ise that she realized how deeply the war had traumatized the world.
The men in black are responsible for garrisoning important locations, while the servants of the Prime Minister patrol back and forth on the streets. After seeing Toyotomi Chiyo, the leader Hatamoto always bows humbly and respectfully, because Toyotomi Chiyo possesses both Prime Minister and Hoolin.
Zhou Daofu's dual identity makes him an undisputed big shot in the eyes of ordinary people.
At the end of the street is a shrine.
At this time, it had been taken over by the spiritual officials.
The main hall of the shrine was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
"Xu Kou, the head of the Yaoguang Department of Dao Sect Tiangang Hall, a fifth-grade Taoist priest, has been ordered to ask you questions. Please cooperate."
Xu Kou stood with his hands behind his back, his back to everyone, and looked at the shrine where he was enshrined.
He spoke the Mandarin of the Central Plains, and an interpreter from the Prime Minister's Office translated his words into the Mandarin of Fenglinzhou.
Surrounding Xu Kou were uniform black-armored spiritual officials, like black statues. A temporary desk was placed not far away, and an ordinary Taoist priest sat behind the desk and was responsible for recording.
Xu Kou turned around, looked at the people at the shrine who were surrounded by spiritual officials, and said, "I want to know the hiding place of the Taoist sect in Taji County. Don't say that you don't know. As a subordinate shrine of Ise Shrine,
, Aren’t you already in the same nest with the wandering warriors?”
There was silence.
No one answered Xu Kou.
Xu Kou was not surprised by this result. He just said, "I knew you would not be punished with a toast. Let me warn you one last time. The Taoist sect does not advocate the use of torture to extract confessions, but it is an exception during war. During war, all rules must be for victory."
It is better for you to make way and suffer a little than for us to suffer."
The spirit officials did not move, and several ninjas from the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly walked out.
They are the Hattori clan, the royal ninjas of the Prime Minister, and torture is one of their many specialties.
Xu Kou did not intend to let people from the Taoist sect dirty his hands. He still left these dirty jobs to the professionals in Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office.
The two ninjas lifted up the palace minister who had lost the ability to resist and fixed it to a pillar in the hall with an iron chain. Then they took out various torture instruments and placed them on the ground one by one, mainly knives, needles, stabbings, and drugs.
After all, Xu Kou was from the Qingluan Guard, and he was already used to this. He didn't take a second look, but turned his attention to the rest of the people. He did have a record of beating people to death, but he didn't do it for fun.
The fundamental purpose is to pry open the mouths of these people and get what they want.
Soon, Xu Kou's eyes fell on a little witch.
A barely warm smile appeared on Xu Kou's face and he asked, "What's your name?"
The little witch raised her head, met Xu Kou's gaze, her face turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Qian, Qianjing Dang."
Xu Kou said, "Qianjing Dang, my intuition tells me that you are a kind girl. You definitely don't want to see your friends and elders suffer misfortune, right?"
Asai nodded hesitantly.
Xu Kou pointed at the palace minister and continued, "As long as you tell me where the Taoists are hiding, I will let them go."
Asai Dang's lips moved slightly and he was about to speak. Gongji suddenly shouted loudly, which frightened Asai Dang and he swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.
Xu Kou said calmly, "Shut his mouth."
A ninja immediately stuffed something like a hemp core into Gongji's mouth.
Xu Kou leaned forward slightly, smiled and said, "Okay, go on."
Asai Dang turned his head to look at the struggling Gong Si, speechless.
"Then I won't say it anymore. My patience is limited." Xu Kou straightened up and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the door.
Xu Kou turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
A spiritual officer walked in quickly and whispered softly beside Xu Kou.
Xu Kou frowned slightly and said, "Let her come in."
After a while, Toyotomi Chiyo walked into the main hall.
Xu Kou was impatient. A hint of displeasure flashed across his face at first, but he immediately squeezed out a polite smile, "Miss Toyotomi, what are you doing here?"
To the Taoist sect, Toyotomi Chiyo is a symbol of great significance, so his status is special, and Xu Kou should not be disrespected.
Toyotomi Chiyo looked around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Kouyan replied concisely and concisely, "Ask a question."
