Chapter 317 The Song of King Qin Entering the Battle
The fundamental purpose of Buddhism is to save all sentient beings, that is, to help all sentient beings achieve liberation.
It is further divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. The difference is that Mahayana's motivation is to practice for the liberation of all sentient beings, and motivation is to generate bodhicitta, which can be understood as making a wish. Hinayana's motivation is to practice for one's own liberation.
One is fraternity and the other is self-love.
In Greater China, Mahayana Buddhism has always been the mainstream.
In Journey to the West, Monk Tang and his disciples went to the West for the purpose of seeking the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. This is actually wrong. Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to China in the first year of Emperor Huan's founding in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Zhilou Jiacheng, a monk from the Dayue clan.
In 1998, Hinayana Buddhism was introduced to China by the Parthian monk An Shigao.
The introduction of Buddhism greatly suppressed the orthodox Taoism of China, because Buddhism allows you to make wishes, accumulate merits, and avoid going to hell, and you can enter reincarnation and have a good pregnancy in the next life.
But Taoism is about cultivating immortality and immortality, so after the introduction of Buddhism, it was greatly impacted because it extinguished people's hopes.
Therefore, Taoism closely followed current events and began to reform. From the original saying that if the form exists, the spirit exists, and if the form disappears, the spirit will be destroyed, there was no reincarnation.
In the Qi Sutra, the doctrine of reincarnation in the five realms of heaven, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell was first proposed, which temporarily brought back the victory.
In short, both Buddhism and Taoism give people hope and tell people that it doesn’t matter if you suffer in this life. As long as you do good deeds, you will be reborn as a good child and don’t have to suffer in the next life. But if you do bad things, hehe, then...
Go to hell.
Religious restraints undoubtedly have the same power as laws. Only by working together can we make the world peaceful. If we only rely on laws, the cost of maintaining stability will be too high.
But it’s difficult to promote it in places like Tuguhun.
You have eaten one meal but not the next. After today, you don’t know how you will live tomorrow. How can you let people believe in Buddhism? There is no ethics in that place.
But having said that, even Tibet can do it, why can’t Tuguhun do it?
So Yang Ming wrote a letter to his father. The general meaning was that he suggested that after conquering Tuguhun, he should recruit some eminent monks to go to the local area to preach Buddhism, and it would be best to build more temples.
Relying on religion as a pioneer of naturalization, the people of Tuguhun were spiritually baptized.
Yang Xuanting would be the first to leave Beijing with 10,000 troops and horses, but Yang Ming only allocated 2,000 horses to him. Yang Xuanting felt that it was too shabby, so he recruited 4,000 horses from the family's horse farm in Guanzhong.
If he wasn't too anxious, he could have all the horses ready, but the military orders were overwhelming and he didn't dare to neglect them. He led the troops away in a hurry. After all, Zhangye County was too far away.
There were guides among his soldiers and horses, and among Yang Su's former staff were naturalized Tuguhun people, so Xuanting already had a general understanding of the unfamiliar environment he was about to face.
After Yang Su's death, he was the first general of the Hongnong Yang family to fight on the battlefield, so the family had great hopes for him, and equipped Xuanting with a very luxurious team, so in name, he had 10,000 soldiers.
The number of horse generals has actually expanded to 13,400, of which 6,000 are cavalry.
The entire cavalry led by Chang Suncheng headed for Lintao County. His and Mai Tiezhang's mission was to go 800 miles deep into the enemy's hinterland and capture Mantou City in the south of Tuguhun, thereby preventing Murong Fuyun from escaping south.
The baggage, weapons, food and fodder have already been sent to the west one by one, and sent to Jincheng County, which is also where Yang Ming and the others initially set up a strategic command center.
He, Chief of General Staff Gao Jun, and a group of royal staff will command operations in Jincheng County in the future. Between Jincheng County and Tuguhun, there are Xiping County and Chuihe County, which is considered a very safe place.
That night, in the inner courtyard of the palace, Yang Ming and Gao Junshi were eating and chatting.
"Your Highness, it is not advisable to take risks. You have no experience in fighting with large numbers of cavalry. You have never seen what it is like to be surrounded by a mass of cavalry. When I first fought against the Turks, I was really frightened. So you stay in Jincheng."
, is the most suitable," Shi Wansui said, taking a sip of wine.
Of course I won't be involved in danger. It's too easy to be surrounded in that place. If you don't run away in time, your life will be revealed. Yang Ming's wife and children will not enter Tuguhun casually.
The cities there were scattered and scattered, and there was no shelter from the wind and rain. When facing the cavalry, it was difficult to form a defense. This and quelling Yang Liang's rebellion were completely different concepts.
Yang Ming nodded: "I'll go again when it's time to finish."
Even at his age, Gao Jiong would definitely not be able to charge into battle. He is a think tank and is responsible for overall strategic planning.
Yuan Wendu said at the side: "There are already 100,000 shi of grain, which has been shipped from Guangtong warehouse. I have asked Luoyang and some are already on the way. It is just that the ordnance of Weiwei Temple is somewhat insufficient. After all, a lot of it was shipped to Luoyang in the first place.
In Luoyang, Duke Wei has urgently collected military weapons from official kilns in various places, so he should be able to do so in time."
"It doesn't matter if it's too late," Shi Wansui said: "Right now, all the guards' weapons are fully prepared. We can make up for any losses later, so there's no rush."
The wear and tear of ordnance is very large, and sometimes it depends on luck. For example, if a knife hits the armor and the knife breaks, if you are lucky, there will be a gap and you can still use it, but if the gun or spear breaks, it cannot
Used, and the consumption of arrows by infantry and cavalry is very huge. The current military guards are equipped with thirty bows, twenty crossbows, and have 40,000 each in reserve, which is indeed not enough.
Shi Wansui was not in a hurry because he had never fought in the war of wealth. Due to his own personality problems, when he asked for ordnance, he never got the full amount.
When the army goes on an expedition, there are also all kinds of intrigues, so Yang Ming will learn from Yang Su's army management, and all those who dare to play tricks will be beheaded.
"Urge Wei Xuan. If he can't build it, he will be recruited from all over the country urgently. If he misses something important, he will be in trouble," Yang Ming ordered calmly, then looked at Fang Xuanling and others and said:
"You are all going into battle for the first time, so be prepared. With Dugu Gong Gaoshan in front of you, you have to learn a lot,"
"This is natural," Fang Xuanling and others nodded.
For them, Gao Jun is an idol, a monument, and a lifelong goal. Who among them doesn't want to become a minister and be famous throughout the ages?
Of course, they would not be able to imitate Gao Jiong's temper, and it would be easy for him to die before he leaves the battlefield. But having said that, meeting Mingjun is another matter.
After the dinner, Yang Ming first went to see Pei Shuying, but the other party had already gone to bed. After all, he was too tired from practicing at the racecourse during the day. After he came back, he took a shower and couldn't hold on any longer.
Now everyone in the capital knew that Pei Gong's daughter was going to war, so every morning, Wu Houwei would run to Zhuque Street, waiting for the king's concubine's cavalry to pass by, and encourage the people to cheer.
So Yang Ming next went to find Dugu Feng'er, who was sharpening a knife under the moonlight. Those who didn't know it thought she was ill again.
"Four knives, two daggers, a powerful crossbow, and a spear, that's all I have," Dugu Feng'er kept holding her hands, but raised her head and said to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming sat down on the side and asked curiously: "Can you still use a spear?"
"Isn't it the same thing that I can use a gun, a spear, a lance, and a spear?" Dugu Feng'er said.
Yang Ming was stunned and said: "Isn't it different?"
"It's all the same, do you want to learn?" Dugu Feng'er raised his head and asked.
I'm obviously a layman, but you still teach me? Yang Ming smiled and shook his head: "I learned it when I was very young, and I shouldn't need it."
At this time, Dugu Feng'er stopped what he was doing and said:
"The woman who played the piano that day was named Gao Yue, right? I heard that she is good at composing music, and didn't Jiu Qi have a song for entering the battle? You might as well ask her to revise it for you, so that you can use it when you return in triumph.
With."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You shouldn't understand this. Who told you?"
"What Ayun Pei Shuying said is that once the song is finished, it can help boost your momentum," Dugu Feng'er said with a smile.
Yang Ming smiled and nodded.
There is a very famous military martial arts song in the Old Qi Dynasty called "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle." This dance music praises the glorious achievements of King Lanling Gao Changgong in relieving the siege of Luoyang at the Battle of Mangshan. King Lanling has a great role in history.
Gao Yue became so famous, this dance music played a big role, and this person was eventually killed by Gao Yue's biological father, Gao Wei.
This piece has now been collected by the Taiyue Department of Taichang Temple in the Sui Dynasty and changed to "Entering the Battle Song". The famous "Qin King Entering the Battle Song" in history was adapted from this basis.
I didn't expect Pei Shuying to have such a vision. The entire entry song is a palace piece and requires at least a large song and dance group of about a hundred people to perform it. However, this piece is widely circulated among the people and has been adapted for twelve people.
Twenty-four people, sixty-eight people danced.
There are dance troupes in Yang Su's house, including Jinyang Tower, who know this piece.
If Yang Ming returns from a great victory and can write a song about King Qin entering the battle to build momentum for him, it will undoubtedly be a great help in the fight for the position of crown prince.
Especially once it is widely spread among the people, Yang Ming's prestige will reach a new height.
So Yang Ming got up directly and went to find Gao Yue.
It was already dark now, and there were probably not many people in the palace who were still asleep. After Yang Ming knocked on the courtyard door, Su Lie stood outside and followed Gao Yue's maid alone into the bedroom.
After turning on the lamp, the maid left, and Gao Yue on the bed was looking at Yang Ming with a confused look on her face.
She was already asleep, and when she suddenly saw Yang Ming, she thought it was a dream, her expression was dazed, and she didn't respond for a long time, but her naked shoulders had slipped out of the quilt, revealing the deep groove.
Yang Ming took the lamp and came to the edge of the bed to sit down. He instinctively glanced at the place and then said:
"Do you understand the song about King Lanling entering the battle?"
Gao Yue subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt up, but then he stopped what he was doing, looked straight at Yang Ming, and said softly:
"I understand. What Your Highness wants to hear, I need to prepare for a few days."
Yang Ming reached over and pulled down the quilt, taking in a panoramic view of the scenery. Gao Yue's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"You know the music, change it, don't copy the original one," Yang Ming retracted his arm and said.
Gao Yue took a deep breath: "What does Your Highness wish to change it to?"
"Change it to the song for King Qin entering the battle," Yang Ming stood up and said, "Before I return to the capital, I have to change it. Then you give it to Shuyi and ask her to send it to Jinyang Tower. All dance groups must learn it."
Gao Yue nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, Your Highness, the style of the new chapter will be completely new and will never remind anyone of King Lanling."
"Okay, go to sleep," Yang Ming said and turned around and left.
On the bed, the corners of Gao Yue's mouth were raised, and her face was as bright as a smile. She felt that the brief time spent with Yang Ming tonight was so wonderful that it made her heart pound like a deer.
