Chapter 1422 1098. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha

Liu Zhuwen and others led the army straight to Dali Imperial City.

Dali Imperial City is the same.

Yellow palace walls.

The palace gate with vermilion lacquered.

Although this palace does not have the majesty of the Song Dynasty Palace or the ancient fragrance of the Lin'an old palace, it also has a kind of peaceful atmosphere.

This may be related to the belief in Buddhism across Dali.

At the gate of the palace, I can never see the Dali imperial guards again.

Some of them followed Duan Qilin to Xinsong, and those who had not left had all returned home.

From the outside, you can expect that the Dali Palace must be empty at this time.

Liu Zhuwen and others seemed not to want to destroy the peace here, so they ordered the army to stop in the palace. They just walked into the palace with dozens of worshippers and hundreds of guards.

The palace was really empty.

And many decorations have been removed, which seems a bit destructive.

This was obviously done by those who stayed in the palace or the people outside the palace after Duan Qilin and others left the palace.

They probably moved away everything that could be moved in the palace.

However, those things are not very practical. In this era, it is difficult to exchange for money.

Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng and others walked through the entire empty Dali Palace like a quick glance under the guidance of Wang Ziqian.

Wang Ziqian sighed softly in his heart.

In the past, the Dali Palace was actually quite lively. No one expected that it would become so dilapidated in the blink of an eye.

It turns out that the tea is cold when people leave.

Today's Dali Imperial City has only left a broken empty shell.

After seeing it in the palace, Liu Zhuwen and others left the palace again.

As the three commanders who had the idea, Liu Zhuwen directly asked Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei to order the soldiers under his command to go to the military camp in the city.

Then, he brought his Tianxian army directly into the palace.

Go to a palace.

Zhang Hongwei couldn't help but ask him again, "Captain Liu, what are you planning to do?"

Liu Zhuwen said: "First send soldiers to Zhucheng Dali to send letters, so that they can come and be loyal to our Song Dynasty."

This is something that must be done.

Because if you don’t send a letter, there are many tribes and the city can continue to pretend to be stupid.

When the letter was sent to those tribes, officials and leaders in the city did not come to serve their loyalty, it would be like resisting stubbornly. At that time, Liu Zhuwen had every reason to send troops to suppress it.

Not long after, more than a thousand days from the Dali Palace, the idle army and imperial guards came out of the city one after another.

They joined ten people and rushed to each city to deliver letters. Some were far away and some were close. I think this was not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

Later, Liu Zhuwen wrote a letter in person, asking Fei Ge to send a message to Changsha, and passed the good news to Emperor Zhao Dongting of the Song Dynasty.

After doing these things, Ye Se has become the general.

Zhang Hongwei was a little restless next to him.

This is not entirely because he is a militant, but what Liu Zhuwen said before is indeed good.

Now that they are going deep into Dali, they can no longer get food from the Song Dynasty. In a while, there will be a risk of food being cut off in the army.

This is something Zhang Hongwei is worried about.

Because he couldn't think of any way to get food in Dali City now. And Liu Zhuwen never made any idea about this matter.

Seeing the soldiers in the army leaving with Liu Zhuwen's secret letter, Zhang Hongwei couldn't help it again and asked: "Captain Liu, should we plan for food and grass?"

Liu Zhuwen smiled, but it was a little unfathomable, "Captain Zhang, don't worry. Tomorrow, you should lead the Tianji Army to the Er River outside the city to train troops, using grenade launchers and other objects. Commander Miao and I led some people to Chongsheng Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."

Zhang Hongwei looked puzzled, "What are you going to burn incense?"

He is not a Buddhist believer.

Miao Cheng reacted, saying, "Chief Liu is going to show the people of the Buddhists and Buddhist believers in Dali. We have the strength but will not poison the people of Dali. Should we maintain friendship or communicate with each other and let those who see it themselves."

Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly and smiled at Zhang Hongwei and said, "What Commander Miao said is not bad."

He was almost saying that Zhang Hongwei's brain was not as good as the elderly Miaocheng.

Zhang Hongwei was a little embarrassed, "I'm in a hurry to lead the army to show off again!"

Since they arrived in Dali, they have rarely encountered resistance and the army is majestic. This feeling is still very comfortable, and Zhang Hongwei is undoubtedly a little eccentric.

Liu Zhuwen just asked him to exercise on the Ershui River, which undoubtedly made him feel a little unsatisfied.

What's the point of just practicing by yourself, without an audience?

It would be fine if there were people watching from all departments and cities in Dali. Now there is not, then tomorrow, maybe it would be a charming look for the blind man, and it would be useless to do anything.

Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng heard Zhang Hongwei muttering like this, but they just laughed.

That night, Tianxian, Tianyong and Tianwei three armies camped in Dali City.

Until the next day.

It was just when the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Hongwei led the Tianji Army out of the city and headed to the Er River.

The Tianji Army had nearly 10,000 people, each of them had guns and live ammunition. This kind of formation made the scene of a vast street in Dali City.

The people in the city hid.

Even though they had always heard that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty never hurt the people, they were naturally a little worried when the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty really came to the city.

Especially when they saw the thick armor of the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, they were even more palpitations.

Just after Zhang Hongwei led the Tianji Army out of the city, Miao Cheng, Liu Zhuwen and others led hundreds of soldiers, and the enthronement also left the palace and headed to Chongsheng Temple.

Until now, Chongsheng Temple has not sent monks to find them. Perhaps there is no intention to send anyone to find them.

Chongsheng Temple has a high status in Dali. If you had such an idea, you would not have been able to wait until now.

Not long after, Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng arrived outside Chongsheng Temple.

As soon as you enter the temple gate, you can see one of the three pagodas.

A monk was already waiting in the temple gate.

Seeing that Liu Zhuwen and others arrived, they just bowed to the Buddha's ritual and said, "Amitabha, you donors are polite."

Liu Zhuwen did not show off his airs as a commander. Although he was just a novice monk in front of him, he also bowed and said, "I'm polite."

But the shaman suddenly said, "Please come back to the Buddhist pure land, donors!"

His eyes swept over the soldiers and worshippers with weapons and weapons behind Liu Zhuwen and others.

Even Liu Zhuwen was slightly stunned at this time. Because he didn't expect that the novice monk would be so rude and directly issued an order to expel guests.

Aren’t they afraid of directly slaughtering Chongsheng Temple?

Then, Liu Zhuwen's eyes became a little playful again.

He probably figured out the idea of ​​Chongsheng Temple.

The monks in this temple are afraid that they are unwilling to be involved in the world. Since they say that they have accepted Dali by the Song Dynasty, they are unwilling to bow to the Song Dynasty in public.

In this way, they can continue to maintain their extraordinary status in the future.

After coming back to his senses, Liu Zhuwen looked at the novice monk with a smile and said, "We are just here to burn incense. Isn't this not possible? Is it because your temple has the custom of keeping pilgrims out?"

The little novice was slightly stunned and couldn't answer the words.

He was just a little novice monk. He was ordered to block these Song people outside the temple, but he didn't know how to reply to Liu Zhuwen's words.

Liu Zhuwen looked at his appearance and said, "Why don't you go and ask your master first?"

The little Shami ran inside.

He didn't know why he followed Liu Zhuwen's words.

With his current grade, he probably doesn't know the saying of temperament.

As the commander of the army, Liu Zhuwen was in power. His words and deeds were easily convincing.

This is always invisible.

The little novice monk gradually ran away.

Miao Cheng smiled beside Liu Zhuwen and said, "Captain Liu, do you think the monks in the temple will let us enter the temple?"

Liu Zhuwen asked back, "What do you think, Commander Miao?"

Miao Cheng's eyes were a little playful, "No matter whether they put them or not, we have to find a way to get in."

Liu Zhuwen laughed loudly, "That's exactly that."

As the leaders of Dali Buddhism, Chongsheng Temple's attitude can be said to represent the attitude of most Dali Buddhism.

And the Dali Buddhism can often determine the attitude of the people in Dali.

Whether you can enter the temple seems to be a trivial matter, but the effects that can be produced will be very different.

When you enter the temple, it will be much easier for the Song Dynasty to truly assimilate the Dali Society.

If you cannot enter the temple, the people of Dali will be afraid that they will hold the attitude of Chongsheng Temple in the future. They will neither reject the Song Dynasty nor be close to them.

At that time, officials who come to Dali will face a rather embarrassing situation.

"Boom!"

Just as the two were talking, a cannon sound came from the banks of Er River.
