Chapter 403 Time bomb on Mount Putuo

The additional one may be until early tomorrow morning. Rolls and Ronaldo will work harder and strive to get a good breakfast. Thank you for your support!

Before the debate on Putuo Mountain began, the three Confucian, Buddhism and Taoism started to have internal conflicts! Yang Miaozhen, the destruction master of the Tang Dynasty, became the empress dowager of the Tang Dynasty, was very aggressive. As soon as he came up, he made Jia Sidao, Jiang Wanli, Wen Tianxiang and other experts in the Southern Dynasty could not come to Taiwan.

In fact, it is not that the superiors of the Southern Dynasty were not high enough. The main problem was that the Song Dynasty was too unreasonable! After three hundred years of being a weak country, he never thought of self-improvement from beginning to end! He kept working alone and focused on literature and suppressed martial arts. As long as the emperor and Zhu Zi of the dynasty could have wealth and happiness in front of him, he had to live by himself, and basically did not consider strengthening the army and restoring the Central Plains.

But now the Central Plains is called Chen Dexing and Li Yu, two traitors, are almost recovering. How can the orthodox mask of the Han family in the Song Dynasty be worn? Even if Yang Miaozhen is not angry in Putuo Mountain, the question of who is orthodox in the Eastern Tang and Southern Song Dynasty will sooner or later be revealed and said.

Moreover, unlike the two regimes with strong military powers, the Eastern Tang and Northern Ming, which had strong military power as their pillars, the military power of the Southern Song Dynasty had long been weakened. Although the Lin'an court had newly trained the Three Ya Army directly controlled by the literati and officials, no one would regard this new army as a powerful soldier. Therefore, what truly maintained the Southern Song Dynasty was a legitimate orthodox status passed down for three hundred years.

With this status, the Lin'an court could barely suppress all vassal states, gain the support of Jiangnan literati and officials, and with their assistance, plunder the wealth of Jiangnan to maintain the expenses of the court and bribe the leaders of the vassal states.

Once the status is lost, the Lin'an court, which lacks military support, may immediately face collapse.

From this perspective, the Southern Song Dynasty is now competing for the orthodox ruling with the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty to conquer the orthodox ruling! The former will not die for a while if he loses. And if the latter is defeated... then destruction will be in front of him!

Jia Sidao was so smart that when he saw Yang Miaozhen regard himself as the empress dowager of the Tang Dynasty, he already knew the links. But he didn't know how to fight for the orthodox for the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know how to compete for the orthodox for the Song Dynasty. It was not the reason but the sword!

When the scene was awkward, Liu Bingzhong, who was coming off a blessed boat with the great lama Basiba, suddenly stepped forward a few steps, blocking the two groups of people from the Southern Song Dynasty and Eastern Tang Dynasty, and said with a smile: "Today, we are going to Putuo Mountain. We have nothing to do with the dispute between the four families of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. It is better for everyone to take a step back. Let's not talk about who is the orthodox Chinese."

Yang Miaozhen shouted, "You are a barbarian. Is it worthy of discussing the truth?"

Liu Bingzhong said: "The Buddha worshipped by the Master is passed down from India. Are these people from India barbarians and China?"

"Nonsense! The Maitreya Buddha worshipped by Ai's family was not from India, but from China!" The old nun angrily scolded, and then asked the great monk Yongxin in a low voice, "Monkey Yongxin, you are the abbot of Shaolin and a monk who has attained enlightenment. You must be more sensible than this sour Confucianism. Which country do you think Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha?"

The monk put his hands together and said with a solemn look on his face: "The white lotus blooms, Maitreya is born... This life that Maitreya Bodhisattva will descend in the future will be the Central Plains, and naturally the Buddha of the Central Plains!"

Liu Bingzhong opened his mouth and looked at Monk Yongxin blankly, not knowing whether he was a great monk in Zen Buddhism or a great monk in the White Lotus Buddhism.

"Zen Master Yongxin, don't say anything nonsense!" Master Jiudeng, who was with Jia Sidao, roared angrily, "The word Maitreya is a Sanskrit transliteration. It means love, and is the surname of the Brahmin in India. He was a contemporary person with Sakyamuni. Later, he became a monk with Sakyamuni and became a Buddhist disciple, how did he become a person from the Central Plains..."

Having said that, the monk Jiudeng suddenly stopped, then folded his hands together and returned to his unfathomable appearance. Without saying a word, the monk was indeed unfathomable.

The great monk Yongxin waved his hand gently, and the thirty-six-stick monks behind him also put away the iron sticks that were raised to knock on the sticks. They all held sticks in one hand and Buddha's rituals in the other, which was also solemn in the treasure.

The great monk said with great sarcasm: "The Buddha and Maitreya are not from the Indians. The Lotus Sutra says: I have actually become a Buddha for countless hundred thousand and millions of Nayuta kalpas. It can be seen that the Buddha had become a Buddha countless years ago, and he was born in the Indians Sakyamuni clan just to save all living beings. Maitreya Bodhisattva was a disciple of the Buddha. He followed the Buddha and was not a person from the beginning. And Maitreya Bodhisattva came to the world again and must be in the Central Plains. He must also become a Buddha, and naturally he is the Buddha in the Central Plains!"

When the monk was speaking, the old nun sitting on the chariot nodded frequently, as if quite agreeing. The old nun agreed, and the Confucian scholars also agreed with the little nuns carrying spears and Taoist priests carrying swords. In addition to the thirty-six iron stick monks... they immediately refuted the great scholars and monks of the Southern Dynasty speechless.

Of course, Jia Sidao also brought the thugs to the island, and the five hundred squads in front of the hall were directly guarding the dock. In Changguo County, which was across the sea, there were 5,000 elite soldiers and dozens of warships. With the order, he could go to the island to get people.

But there is a Tang Dynasty behind the old nun! If she wants to move her, Li Feng will immediately have to rush his troops to the Huaihe River! What’s even more troublesome is that there are twenty or thirty Beiming gunboats on the sea around Changguo, which are strong and powerful.

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao coughed: "Master Yongxin is indeed a master of Buddhism, and I admire it very much..."

It seems that it makes sense to bring a stick monk when debating the Dharma! It is estimated that for this reason that Quanzhen Sect lost to Basiba in the Buddhist and Taoist debate held in Shaolin Temple.

Jia Sidao smiled and said to the old nun in the family: "Mr. Li..., I will take my bones immediately and return them to the master..."

"I am the queen mother!" said the nun coldly.

"Okay, okay, you are the Queen Mother, you are the Queen Mother, please return it to the Queen Mother..."

Jia Sidao was too lazy to argue with the old nuns. This time, the debate between Putuo Mountain was that Taoism was not orthodox. In any case, we should not let the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism be squashed first, otherwise Chen Dexing would have to be laughed at.

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao suddenly found that there was no Chen Dexing among the people who had disembarked. Didn’t he come with the old nun in the family? Why didn’t he go to Putuo Mountain?

...

Chen Dexing did not go to Putuo Mountain, but went to Taohua Island, which is the Taohua Island of Dongxie Huang Yaoshi written by Jin Daxia. It is 60 miles away from Putuo Mountain. After sending the Master of the Immortal and others to Putuo Mountain, Chen Dexing took the Pili battleship to Taohua Island.

This island is three times larger than Putuo Mountain. Because it has a bay suitable for building a port, it has become the key point for blocking Changguo County and Putuo Mountain. There is a water village built on it, and a navy army is often stationed. It was supposed to block Chen Dexing's invasion of Changguo County, but it was already settled by the spies from the Nanyang Fleet and Jinyitang, and secretly surrendered to Beiming.

So, Chen Dexing turned this place into his base camp of twenty warships outside Zhejiang. Thousands of land divisions could not come to Putuo Mountain in vain, right? Putuo Mountain is too small and does not have a good port, so let's take this Peach Blossom Island. Unfortunately, there are only peach blossoms on this Peach Blossom Island, but Huang Rong...

That night, he listened to Liu Yang's report on the "farce" that happened on Putuo Mountain during the day in the water village of Taohua Island.

Liu Yang, the spy leader, went to Putuo Mountain a month ago, and moved several temples to the abbot of the abbot, set up an intelligence station on the island, allowing more than a dozen spies from the Jinyiwei to dress up as monks and lurk on the island. Today, the old nun's cause and effect of causing trouble on the island were also taken seriously by these spies.

"What do you want to do if the old nun in the family?" Chen Dexing asked lightly while eating the fish stew cooked by Yang Po'er. Naturally, the person who was asked was Yang Po'er.

"Empress Yang's behavior has always been a bit strange and elusive... Nunu probably said that she was making a show for the king to watch when she told Jia Sidao to stop coming to Taiwan on Putuo Mountain."

"Show it to the Lone King?" Chen Dexing thought, "Why?"

"It's not to replace the Song Dynasty as the orthodox Chinese."

Chen Dexing was silent for a moment, "She wanted to use my power to suppress the Southern Song Dynasty on Putuo Mountain!"

"There must be virtuous people on Mount Putuo," said Yang Po'er. "If they see the king, you are in charge of the Song Dynasty and support the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely abandon the Song Dynasty one by one. In this way, the Tang Dynasty can use official positions to earn them one by one."

"The Master of the Imperial Sect wants to speak for us at the Dharma debate meeting?" Chen Dexing was stunned. "Are she afraid that the Tiandaoism will be detrimental to Li Tang after it rises?"

"I don't know about this Nunu... The old empress has always been in a profound manner and it is difficult for others to understand. Even Nunu can't figure out her thoughts."

Yang Po'er said this, but in fact, it means that Yang Miaozhen is more casual in doing things. When she thinks about it, she is originally a heroic woman in the martial arts world. Because she is very skilled in martial arts (the founder of the Lihua Gun, known as a long spear across the two sides of the Huai River for 20 years), she also knows some military strategies, and is also the fourth sister of Yang Aner, the leader of the Red Coat Army. After Yang Aner's death, she became the eldest sister of the Red Coat Army. Later, she came to see Li Quan, another leader of the Red Coat Army, and got married and fought together to fight the country.

However, both of them had no political rules and acted casually. They surrendered to Song and then rebelled against Song and later surrendered to Mongolia, but they secretly prepared to rebel against Mongolia. You are so rude, it is really a bit capricious.

But without rules does not mean that this old nun is easy to deal with. When he was in Chuzhou, he was quite difficult to mess with!

Including Jia Sidao's father Jia She, and later the Huaidong commander Liu Ju, and Yao Chong suffered in her hands. Among them, Liu Ju wanted to make a small trick except for this woman (Li Quan was not in Chuzhou at that time), who knew that she used a beauty trick to seduce another rebel general Xia Quan who surrendered to the Song Dynasty. He launched a rebellion in Chuzhou, the garrison of Huaidong commander, and seized the Li Quan rebellion in Chuzhou, the history of Chuzhou City.

Regarding Yang Miaozhen's past "non-intentional behavior", Chen Dexing, who was born in the Lianghuai generals, certainly knew that this woman had no rules and regulations in doing things, and it was quite destructive! The whole thing was the time bomb at the Putuo Mountain Dharma Defense Conference... It made her angry, maybe she was really going to use force on Putuo Mountain and burning this Pure Land with fire! (To be continued...)
