Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 115 The Buddha, the Dog, and the Japanese
The Royal Navy is sharpening its sword and rushing towards the South Seas, but the Yongzhou Navy is in the waters between the three Hans and Dongying, besieging Japanese pirates all day long.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers on the route, Mi Fang, Jian Yong, and Qiu Liju took a three-pronged approach.

Qiu Liju set up military depots at key points along the coast of Sanhan, Jian Yong accelerated his attack on Yamatai, and Mi Fang continued to patrol and blockade Honshu Island.

Mi Fang judged that this group of Japanese pirates will have smaller and smaller areas of activity, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

Since Luoyang Zhaixing Tower was stimulated by Gongsun Du, Qiu Liju also began to purge the army, selecting some elite military stations to attack the Japanese pirates who came ashore at any time.

And Jian Yong is responsible for conquering Yamatai as soon as possible and completely quelling the war in Japan.

Of course, Zhang He took Liu Fu, Sun Guo, Momotaro, Abe and others in the siege field battle, so there was basically no need to worry.

After the battle is over, the key to resuming production in the surrendered areas is to educate and reassure the people.

In order to bring the three islands of Dongying under the rule of the Han Dynasty, Jian Yong followed Liu Bei's idea step by step.

Deport all local dignitaries and their families to Yongzhou, recruit enlightened gentry to take up non-key positions, and actively implement measures to reduce taxes and benefit the people and facilitate the people, suppressing the Japanese to a certain extent.

However, the entry of the Han army into Japan will inevitably lead to war, and the war will kill people.

The death of relatives and the same clan will undoubtedly plant the seeds of hatred in the hearts of many Japanese.

Jian Yong doesn't have the skills to screen people's hearts, so he can't intuitively judge who is the unstable factor.

Being in uncertainty all the time is the most tiring.

Until, he received the "gift" Liu Bei asked Mi Fang to bring, two monks.

One is Anxuan, a monk from the Anxi Kingdom who came to Luoyang to promote Buddhism, and the captain of cavalry who was personally appointed by Emperor Ling before his death.

The second is Yan Futiao, a monk of the Han family with a high level of comprehension, who is obsessed with Buddhism and is the No. 1 monk of the Han family.

Yan Fudiao and An Xuan collaborated in the translation of many Buddhist scriptures, such as the "Dharma Mirror Sutra" which promotes the "self-nature and emptiness" of Mahayana Buddhism.

The two monks had met with Liu Bei, and after the exchange, both of them had a better understanding of Buddhism.

The Hinayana Buddhism in the early years talked about self-sacrifice and self-salvation, which is similar to Taoist practice.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as Zhilou Jiachen (also known as Zhizhen) entered the Central Plains and translated many Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, the concept of "pursuing all living beings" gradually emerged, and the concepts of "six degrees" and "four photography" became known to the world .

Theravada Buddhism was initially regarded as a secret of "pray for longevity" by the royal family and dignitaries, and it was offered on a small scale.

When it came to Anxuan and Yan Futiao, they had a strong desire to pursue Dzogchen, but the progress in preaching and absorbing monks was very slow, and they still couldn't get the point

Because, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Taoism had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the foreign and later Buddhism was still in its infancy.

Liu Bei only had superficial perceptual knowledge of Buddhism, but he had a forward-looking vision on how to promote Buddhism.

Therefore, only two concepts were used to persuade the two monks, Anyan, to go to Dongying to save sentient beings.

Firstly, compared with the great Han Luoyang, Dongying has no Confucianism and Taoism. The so-called white paper is easy to draw. As long as you dare to cross the sea, millions of Japanese are believers.

The second is to enrich and perfect the cause and effect of the three generations and the six paths of reincarnation to make it logically self-consistent, so that Buddhism can be invincible, and the promotion of Buddhism will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

An Xuan and Yan Fudiao seemed to be enlightened, their blood surged immediately, and they turned into internationalist Buddhist saints, scoffing at the danger of crossing the sea.

For the sake of millions of believers, let the storm come harder!

I have to say that the "Kamikaze" is very cheap. The two monks, Anyan and Yan, boarded the merchant ship from Seoul with a mortal heart. During the two-day voyage, the weather was surprisingly calm.

Arriving in Fu County, Jian Yong met An Xuan and Yan Fu Tiao, and learned that Liu Bei planned to use Buddhism to conquer the hearts of the Japanese, but he didn't take it seriously.

The Japanese are still in a semi-slavery society, and the folk customs are tough. Strangers will fight in the street if they disagree with each other, and tribal villages will fight each other for any trivial matter, resulting in heavy casualties.

These two can't even understand the Japanese language, if they were hacked to death, who would they blame?
Unexpectedly, An Xuan and Yan Fu Diao were overjoyed when they heard the words, alas, what Zhi Jinwu said is true!

Barbarism is good, no culture is good, poor mountains and rivers are frequent earthquakes, good can't be better!
Looking forward to millions of believers, the two monks categorically rejected Jian Yong's kindness of sending troops to protect him.

"In order to promote the Dharma, and to purify the Japanese people, death is the destination of our Dzogchen, why should we refuse?"

"A monk with soldiers is not a pure monk. The Buddha cut flesh and ate eagles, and I will die to prove the Tao!"

Moreover, both of them refused the interpreter, which puzzled Jian Yong: "The two of you don't know Japanese, and the Japanese don't know Chinese, how can you preach?"

An Xuan smiled and said: "Buddha is not transmitted through language, or the one that is transmitted through language is not the real Buddha."

Jian Yong could only politely send the two of them out of the Governor's Mansion. Of course, he quietly sent Jin Yiwei to follow them in plain clothes.

Anyway, the gift Zhi Jinwu sent really went wrong, and he lost all face.

Didn't Ma Chao get transferred back after staying for less than three months?

Zhang Xi also tried not to choose too risky occasions when using Sun Guo.

As a result, within half an hour of leaving, plainclothes came back with news.

"Second Monk Anyan exchanged all his belongings for food, and while preaching the Dharma, distributed food from door to door, even stray dogs."

Jian Yong nodded, expressing his understanding.

Purdue sentient beings, dogs are no exception, admiration admiration!
Later, the plainclothes sent back a message again.

"There is a female prostitute who can speak Chinese and refuses to accept food, and reprimands Anxuan: the Japanese have their own gods to protect them, and they don't need the Buddha to ward off disasters and take refuge."

Hey, even though there is no Confucianism or Taoism, the Japanese believe in animism. Facing Sakyamuni Buddha, who has never heard of it, they will definitely complain crazily.

Buddhism entered Dongying, and the beginning was very tragic. An Xuan and Yan Fu spent all their money and failed to achieve a good result.

The only thing that is gratifying is that a stray dog ​​who had eaten alms converted to my Buddha, so he followed two monks and named him Hachiko.

It is obvious that everything is difficult at the beginning.

Compared with the more peaceful fighting methods in Fukukun, the war between the Honshu Han-Japanese coalition forces and Yamatai has entered a critical moment.

Momotaro has more than [-] infantry, Abe has more than [-] troops, and the Sanhan Battalion led by Zhang Yun himself has [-] cavalry.

As the largest kingdom in Honshu, Yamatai has nearly [-] soldiers and horses who are good at fighting, equipped with a lot of second-hand armor of the Han army, which is the most difficult bone to crack.

But Momotaro and Abe have no fear, and their desire to fight is extremely strong.

Abei became the big landlord of the Japanese people in Kyushu, and his eldest son was sent to Luoyang Taixue. He will be able to serve the emperor of Han in the future. This is a special gift from the governor.

Therefore, Abe and his subordinates, in the process of conquering the slave country and Shikoku Island, had a tough style and cruel means.

Momotaro, who is at odds with Yamatai, is not far behind.

Since taking over the western part of Honshu and reuniting the remnants of the Peach Tribe, he vowed to cut off the head of King Yamatai with his own hands.

As the commander in chief, Zhang He led [-] cavalry, personally supervised the battle, and finally pushed the battle line to the Kanto Plain, the core residential area of ​​the Yamatai Kingdom.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the ground is encircled by three sides, the sea is blocked by the Yongzhou navy, and Yamatai has nowhere to escape, and it is doomed to be wiped out.

In addition, the Yamatai army who did not understand the art of war was a mob. If it hadn't been for the fact that his side suffered too much damage, Zhang He would have attacked in waves.

In the military tent, Zhang He pointed to the map and said, "There are thousands of dwellings on the outskirts of the Yamatai palace. Once our army goes deep, it is very easy to be ambushed. Therefore, it is best to call them out and annihilate them."

After fighting for three months, Momotaro and Abe were considered half-soldier generals, and they all nodded.

The vengeful Momotaro was the first to say: "Commander, the puppet king of Yamatai has suffered a few times and has become more cunning. The last time he tried to seduce him, he couldn't succeed. How about fire attack!"

Zhang He shook his head, the Japanese people now live in thatched huts, once the fire attack, the army of Yamatai will be finished, but the tens of thousands of Japanese people will also suffer heavy casualties.

This is not in line with Zhi Jinwu's Japan development strategy, and it is better to have more ingenious tactics.

Abe stood up and added: "The Tone River has plenty of water, and if the embankment is dug, there will be no bloodshed."

As the largest river in Japan, the Tone River is the life river of the Kanto Plain.

Of course, once the embankment is breached and the water is released, Yamatai will suffer catastrophe.

This is also not in line with the combat thinking of preserving the Japanese people, Zhang He shook his head.

At this time, in the corner of the military tent, a young Japanese general half-understood Zhang Yun's intentions.

He stood up and said in Chinese not so proficiently: "Master, mine, go, win."
