From the headmaster of Quanzhen, he began to traverse the heavens

Chapter 301 Chapter [-]

The thoughts of Tiandihui, Dong Haichuan and others were naturally hidden from Lin Qingxuan, but Lin Qingxuan was not going to help the Aixinjueluo family to extend the country, so he was happy to see the little actions of the disciples in the teaching.

After Lin Qingxuan had a conversation with the three disciples, the Quanzhen Sect led the Taoists in the provinces and began to select young disciples to teach boxing techniques after the imperial decree was issued, and prepare for the Daoist guards to sit down.

In the twelfth lunar month of the 23rd year of Xianfeng, before the imperial court sealed the new year, the last imperial decree of this year was spread throughout the world through the mansion newspaper. The imperial court designated the newly built Qingniu Palace in the Old Summer Palace as the main hall of Taoist officials, and began to include Confucianism and Taoism as officials in the imperial examination. However, due to the strong opposition of officials from various places, the Taoist officials selected after the first Taoist examinations next year will not be able to enter the Imperial Academy, nor can they be taught in real shortages. They can only serve as education officials in Qingniu Palace and other places.

The so-called edification officer is an official position specially set up by the imperial court for Taoists. The rank is not high and the power is not large. It is only responsible for commanding the believers of various Taoist temples, as well as educating the people, and holding blessings, fasting, and consecration ceremonies.

Speaking of which, because the authority of the Taoist officials did not conflict much with the original officials, Lin Qingxuan and Xianfeng did not attract much backlash when they implemented new systems such as Qingniu Palace and Taoist officials.

In the spring of the second year, the Daoist Examination began. After several months of hard work by Song Meilun, Dong Haichuan, and Yang Luchan from Qingniu Palace and the chief examiner, Prince Gong, the Daoist Examination ended, and more than 80 people with superb Taoism and martial arts were selected for the court. , a master of Taoism who has learned the three teachings.

Lin Qingxuan and Xianfeng personally entertained the Taoist officials. After Lin Qingxuan secretly gave secrets, the elderly of this group of Taoists stayed in Qingniu Palace and provincial Taoist palaces to serve as officials, while the rest followed the training code written by Lin Qingxuan every day. Practice and learn Western art of war.

In order to peacefully evolve and control the Qing Dynasty, Lin Qingxuan also began to continuously build momentum for himself through the Qingniu Palace and his disciples and grandchildren.

Since the Qing court now adopts the Quanzhen religion as the state religion, Lin Qingxuan is the national teacher, and the Qingniu Palace of the Quanzhen religion does have elixir and exercises that can cure diseases, save people, and prolong life, this movement of creating gods did not cause any waves. .

Although the Opium War still ended with the signing of an unequal treaty, as an invincible British Empire, the Qing Dynasty signed an unequal treaty for him, which did not affect China as the dragon of the East and the status of a great power recognized by all countries in the world. status.

Because the gap between the industrial country and the agricultural country has not yet developed to an insurmountable level, coupled with the huge population, land area and international influence of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that before the Sino-Japanese War, China was still the largest country in Asia, ranking among the great powers. Internally, the reason for the continuous decline is that the rulers did not know how to imitate the West to develop bourgeois revolution and industry, and at the same time did not know how to use international rules and diplomatic means. They were finally defeated by Japan after the Sino-Japanese War, making Japan a The new hegemon of East Asia competes with Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Germany and other countries on the same stage.

Lin Qingxuan knew very well that China's opportunity was in the decades before the First World War and more than [-] years before the Sino-Japanese naval battle. It can be said that the priority between China and Japan must be separated. The Westernization Movement is to develop industry, Political reform is also a general trend.

Lin Qingxuan single-mindedly seeks detachment and does not seek power, but now in order to change China's future destiny, he is still preparing to carry out reforms at the upper levels of the Qing Dynasty.

Time passed bit by bit as the Quanzhen Sect continued to infiltrate the center of the Qing Dynasty, and another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, it is already 1883 AD, which is also the 33rd year of Xianfeng.

Under the general trend of the confluence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Lama Yellow Sect, Black Sect and Red Sect are all in cooperation with Quanzhen Sect, and Duke Yansheng and Confucianism Qingliu are competing to become Quanzhen Sect disciples. He also naturally became the drummer of the Great Celestial Master Dong Miaoqing Xuan.

After all, there were not many people with backbone in the Qing Dynasty. In the face of the emperor, they all respected and believed in the immortals who had real magical powers.

In the beginning, there were still many literati Qingliu who claimed to be noble and clean, and even occasionally attacked Taoists for mistaking the country and confuses the monarch. Lightweight and healthy, rejuvenated and rejuvenated, and the illness of the parents or wife at home was treated with the help of elixir, and many noises disappeared.

Emperor Xianfeng had not been to the court for two years at this time, and regardless of military and political affairs, he lived in the Qingniu Palace every day with the empress, concubine, and prince to practice the art of immortality. All the state affairs have been handed over to the national teacher for disposal.

Therefore, since the 28th year of Xianfeng, the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty is Lin Qingxuan, and all the powers of the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet are also under the Qingniu Palace.

From the imperial relatives, the eight banners, to the officials of the capital and local officials, almost everyone believed in the Quanzhen sect and became a disciple of Quanzhen. The prestige and status beyond ordinary emperors.

In the eyes of the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and other countries such as Britain and France, the Qing Dynasty is the two true monarchs who are building a kingdom of gods on earth, one is the national teacher, the true monarch Datianshi, and the other is the Taoist emperor Xianfeng.

The Dao Protector Army was established five years ago by the Qingniu Palace after the approval of Lin Qingxuan and Xianfeng. This is the first new army in the Qing Dynasty. It hired German army instructors and trained [-] in a few years. Yuren's Five Route New Army.

Three years ago, after the Daoist Kun Army was trained, Lin Qingxuan asked Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Yang Luchan to lead a group abroad to visit the West. He spent a lot of money to reach an agreement with the United Kingdom to purchase eight iron-clad warships and hired British naval instructors at the same time. Train guardsmen.

According to Lin Qingxuan's plan, the Taqing regime will evolve into a Dao monarchy of the Greater China, and then restructure it in the form of a kingdom of gods on earth, and eventually develop into a powerful country and change the destiny of the country.

This kind of peaceful evolution also requires the support of a strong army, so the eight armies named after gossip are the new guards that are planned to be established.

Now the Kun Army with less than 3 people and the Kan Army with more than 8000 people have been successfully established. This is the Army and Navy. The intelligence and espionage department, the artillery army named Zhenjun, and the cavalry named Duijun...

According to Lin Qingxuan's prediction, after the establishment of the eight Taoist guards, the Taoist Kingdom will have a new-style army of more than 20. Coupled with the regiment training in various provinces, China will have enough strength to protect itself by then.

In order to achieve this goal, Lin Qingxuan exhausted all means available to ordinary people, not only medical skills, but also secret techniques and tactics of manipulating people's hearts. After more than 20 years of hard planning, the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty finally made a big impact. Success, in the 33rd year of the Hungry Ghost Festival in Xianfeng, Lin Qingxuan met the governors and governors of various provinces and Daogong Dajiaohua, and knew that the time was ripe, so he decided to take the last step to overthrow the Qing regime.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxuan smiled and instructed the little Taoist boy who was serving in the hall: "Qingfengmingyue, go and invite Yifeizi, the deity has something to explain."

Normally, changing a dynasty requires a bloody and rebellion revolution, and at worst it would have to force the palace, but Lin Qingxuan had already made up his mind and was confident that Xianfeng would happily agree to the change.
