Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1953, Buddha Emperor

"Master Hou, I'm afraid something big is going to happen to the state of Chu."

After Master Huiming left, Liu Da also hurriedly expressed his inner worries to Du Mingen.

"Something happened?"

"What could happen?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately asked in doubt.

"The relationship between the state of Chu and its neighboring countries is not bad. There is no need for large-scale use of troops at all, but now it is buying large-scale arms and weapons. What is it used for?"

Liu Da raised his own doubts.

"Yes, I used to talk about competing with Egypt for the land in the upper reaches of the Nile River, but since Egypt was severely repaired by the Ottoman Empire, its strength has been greatly weakened, so it took the initiative to reach a border line agreement with Chu. Give up a large piece of land to Chu, and there will be no more wars between the two sides."

"As for the other borders of Chu State, they are all vassal states and colonies, and the two sides have already reached a border agreement."

"It is reasonable to say that military households should not buy weapons in large quantities. After all, this is not a small amount of money, and it is enough for their current army."

When Du Mingen heard it, he thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable. It is unreasonable for Chu to purchase large-scale arms and weapons.

"Why do you judge that something big is going to happen to Chu?"

Du Mingen looked at Liu Da and asked.

"Master Hou, I passed through Chu State when I came here, and stopped in Izumo City, the capital of Chu State."

"The king of Chu in the Chu Kingdom believed in Buddhism, established Buddhism as the state religion, and demanded that all people believe in Buddhism. He built temples on a large scale. In Izumo City alone, there are hundreds of temples, large and small, with more than 10 monks."

"These monks are fake monks. They eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble. They are rampant and lawless. They embezzle other people's property, bully men and women, don't give money for meals, and force everyone to pay for sesame oil."

"Even monks like this Huiming monk are officials above the court. This Huiming monk is also the prime minister of Chu State. There are a lot of monks among the officials, big and small."

"According to what I know, this sect of Buddhism in Chu State is a new sect founded by Master Huiming, the only sect!"

"People of this unique school pay attention to and imitate the religious models of Europe and the Middle East, and reject all other religions and sects."

"I guess they have developed to the present, and it is very likely that they want to establish a country with political~~religious~~unity~~, and it is very likely that they want to overthrow the rule of the King of Chu."

After Liu Da pondered for a while, he made his own judgment very boldly.

"what?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately frowned.

This is a big deal.

Although it has nothing to do with the South African colony, once the rule of the King Chu of Chu is overthrown, something will happen to the King of Chu. The South African colony is also inseparable.

But this is not the main point. There are now hundreds of large and small vassal states and colonies overseas, but so far there has been no incident of being overthrown.

Whether it is a vassal state or a colony, it has been ruled and managed by the founders so far, and there has been no overthrow.

Once the state of Chu starts, there may be a large number of ambitious people in the future, just like the Hu family of Hu Xian of the Western United Commercial Bank, who wanted to monopolize this huge industry, but in the end, he died, and even brought a large number of people. The Hu family was uprooted.

"Your concerns are not impossible."

After thinking about it carefully, Du Mingen also felt that this kind of thing was very likely to be discovered.

This master Huiming doesn't look like a Buddhist at all, but more like a generation of ambitious heroes, he may very likely do such a thing.

The situation in Chu State also made it possible for him to do such a thing.

There are many monks, many temples, a lot of money and manpower, and at the same time control a lot of power and position above the court, which completely possesses the strength and possibility to overthrow the rule of the king of Chu.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

Du Mingen thought for a while and asked again.

After all, he is a businessman, so he is very good at doing business, but he is very slow in the sense of smell and response in the political field.

This master Huiming bought weapons in a big way without carefully thinking about what he was buying weapons for.

It is also fortunate that the children of major families in the South African colony have always been doing things, so Du Mingen can secure the position of governor. If Du Mingen is really to say that Du Mingen is going to rule a country, it is probably a bit precarious. This feeling is really not good .

"The matter of Chu State has nothing to do with our South African colony."

"But after all, it is still related to the system of our entire Ming dynasty and colonies. Now that we know about it, we can't just stand by."

"I have to report this matter to the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven can prepare for it. If something happens to the Chu State, immediately send a large army into the Chu State to suppress the rebellion."

"What we can do is to make some tricks on the weapons, so that they can only use muskets as fire sticks at that time."

Liu Da thought for a while and said.

"Don't you want to inform King Chu?"

Du Mingen thought for a while and said.

"The king of Chu is estimated to have been monitored by Master Huiming now, and it may be difficult to say that he is under house arrest. Otherwise, how could this master Huiming buy arms and weapons with the seal of the king of Chu and the state of Chu?"

"Once we notify King Chu, Master Huiming will know immediately."

"In addition, the king of Chu believed in Buddhism, which eventually led to the current situation. The people of Chu State suffered and suffered. This king of Chu cannot escape the blame."

"But he is obsessed with obsession, so let him see clearly the true face of this Huiming, the true face of this unique sect."

"After passing this matter, we can also take the opportunity to eliminate these smoky monks and temples, and return Chu to a bright future."

Liu Da shook his head and said.

He now doubts whether the king of Chu has become a puppet. How can there be such a king of a country? If he is so confused, he should have a degree of faith in Buddhism.

"Your analysis is very reasonable. This master Huiming doesn't look like a monk at all. He sent people to our South African colony to preach."

"It is ambitious and has a big plan, and it spreads the only sect he created everywhere."

After hearing this, Du Mingen nodded in agreement.

"Liu Da, immediately send a telegram to the Ming court in the name of the South African colony, and report this matter to the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven to make a decision."

"In addition, I will send another telegram to Mr. Liu, the Chief Assistant of the Ming Cabinet."

"Notify the arsenal that all the arms and weapons sent to the state of Chu will undergo special treatment."

Then Du Mingen didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Liu Da hurriedly replied, and quickly handled these matters.

"Tiger father has no dog son!"

Seeing the back of Liu Da leaving, Du Mingen couldn't help sighing.

It's okay for Liu Jin to be extremely evil, but even this Liu Da has such a sense of smell and insight at a young age, which really has to be admired.

Thinking about my own grandsons, they are much older than Liu Da, but they are lazy all day long, idle and doing nothing, they are really more popular than others, there is no way to compare, and I don’t know how this Liu Jin educates his children of.

This Liu Dacai is already so evil at the age of 18. Just from the purchase of arms and weapons, it can be inferred that something big is going to happen to Chu.

What a monster.

No wonder Liu Jin felt relieved to let him come to the South African colony.

In a palace of Izumo Temple in Chu State, Master Huiming was gathering his subordinates to discuss some matters.

"This Du Mingen really doesn't take the hard way. The South African colony has always refused to allow us to preach."

Thinking of Du Mingen, Master Huiming was very angry. This unique sect has spread in many places, but it is still unable to enter the South African colony.

"Buddha, the issue of preaching in South Africa can be discussed in the future. The most important thing right now is your enthronement as Buddha Emperor."

"Millions of Buddhists in Chu Kingdom are waiting for this day, waiting for you to establish a real Buddhist country, waiting for the day when you will ascend the throne and become the Buddha Emperor."

Beside Master Huiming, his disciple Yuan Kong said.

"Yes, Lord Buddha, the most important thing right now is to establish the Buddha Kingdom, which you call the Buddha Emperor."

Another disciple, Yuan Ye, also followed suit.

"Proclaiming the emperor is a very simple matter, and overthrowing the king of Chu's rule is not difficult. The real difficulty is that once the news spreads, the Emperor of Heaven will be furious. This is the most terrifying thing."

"Once the Son of Heaven is furious, it will not only be the army of Daming, but also the troops of the surrounding vassal states and colonies will come to attack us with an order."

"That's why I haven't dared to proclaim myself emperor."

Huiming fell silent, Chu State was already under his control.

King Chu, a mindless person, has already been brainwashed. He pays homage to the Buddha every day, and entrusts himself to deal with major national affairs. Wanting to become emperor is only a matter of minutes, but he thinks farther and farther.

"But now the arrow is on the string, and I have to send it."

"Now the officials headed by Xiong Tingtao are vigorously advising the king of Chu to strictly eliminate, prohibit the spread of our sect, demand that temples be burned down, and the head monk be dismissed. We have reached the point where fire and water are incompatible. The key is that Chu Wang Shizi is also standing on their side now, and he has already shown his intention to destroy Buddha in the future, and the king of Chu is now old and frail, and his health is getting worse day by day. For the king, it will be difficult at that time."

Yuankong said anxiously, it's time to burn his eyebrows, why is this Huiming worried about this and that.

"I know, that's why I went to the South African colony. When enough arms and weapons arrive, we will act!"

Huiming nodded and said.
