Emperor Sui Yang

The fundamental purpose of Buddhism is to save all living beings, that is, to help all living beings to be liberated.

It is divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. The difference is that the motivation of Mahayana is to practice for the liberation of all sentient beings.

One is fraternity, the other self-love.

In Greater China, Mahayana Buddhism has always been the mainstream.

In Journey to the West, Tang monks and apprentices went to the west to seek Mahayana Buddhism, which is actually wrong. Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to China by Zhilou Jiachen, a monk of the Dayue clan, in the first year of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In [-], Theravada Buddhism was introduced to China by An Shigao, an eminent monk from the Anxi Kingdom.

The introduction of Buddhism has greatly suppressed the orthodox Taoism in China, because Buddhism can make wishes, accumulate merits without going to hell, and enter the next life of reincarnation and have a good pregnancy.

But Taoism is about cultivating immortality and immortality, so after the introduction of Buddhism, it was greatly impacted because it extinguished people's hope.

Therefore, Taoism kept up with current events and began to reform. From the original theory of non-reincarnation that exists in the form, the spirit will survive, and the spirit will disappear when the form fades. Qi Jing, for the first time put forward the doctrine of the five reincarnations, that is, the five realms of heaven, man, beast, hungry ghost, and hell, which can be regarded as a temporary recovery.

In short, both Buddhism and Taoism give hope to people and tell people that it doesn’t matter if you suffer in this life. Go to hell.

The constraints of religion undoubtedly have the same power as the law, and the two-pronged approach can make the world peaceful. If only relying on the law, the cost of maintaining stability is too high.

But it is difficult to promote it in a place like Tuguhun.

How can you make people believe in Buddhism?There is no ethics there.

But having said that, even western Tibet can do it, why can’t Tuyuhun?

So Yang Ming wrote a letter to his father, probably suggesting that after the defeat of Tuyuhun, some eminent monks should be recruited to preach Buddhism in the local area, and it would be better to build more temples.

Relying on religion as the vanguard of naturalization, spiritual baptism was performed on the people of Tuyuhun.

Yang Xuanting brought [-] soldiers and horses and would leave Beijing first, but Yang Ming only allocated [-] horses for him. Yang Xuanting felt that it was too shabby, so he recruited [-] horses from the family's racecourse in Guanzhong.

If he hadn't been too anxious, he could have prepared all the horses, but the military order was like a mountain, so he didn't dare to neglect, and led the troops away in a hurry, after all, Zhangye County was too far away.

Among his soldiers and horses, there are guides, and among Yang Su's former aides, there are naturalized Tuguhun people, so Xuan Ting already has a general understanding of the unfamiliar environment he will face.

After Yang Su's death, this was Hongnong Yang's first general to fight on the battlefield, so the family had great hopes for him, and provided Xuan Ting with a very luxurious team, so in name, he was a ten thousand soldier The main general of the horse has actually expanded to 400 people, of which [-] are cavalry.

The entire cavalry led by Changsun Sheng marched to Lintao County. The task of him and Mai Tiezhang was to go deep into the enemy's hinterland for [-] miles and capture Mantou City in the south of Tuguhun, so as to prevent Murong Fuyun from fleeing south.

Truckloads of supplies, military equipment, food, and grass have already been sent to the west, to Jincheng County, where Yang Ming and the others initially set up a strategic command center.

He, Chief of Staff Gao Jiong, and a group of palace staff will command operations in Jincheng County in the future. Jincheng County and Tuyuhun are separated by Xiping County and Waterhe County, which can be regarded as a very safe place.

That night, in the inner courtyard of the palace, Yang Ming and Gao Jiong Shi Wansui ate and chatted,

"Your Highness should not take risks. You have no experience in fighting most of the cavalry. You have never seen what it is like to be surrounded by a cloud of cavalry. The first time I fought the Turks, I was really frightened, so you stay in Jincheng , is the most suitable," Shi Wansui said after taking a sip of wine.

Of course I wouldn't take risks, that place is too easy to be surrounded, and if I don't run in time, my life will be explained. Yang Ming's wife and children are hot on the kiln, so they won't just enter Tuyuhun casually.

The cities there were scattered and there was not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain. When facing the cavalry, it was difficult to form a defense. This and the suppression of Yang Liang's rebellion were completely different concepts.

Yang Ming nodded: "I'll go again when it's finished."

At his age, Gao Jiong would definitely not charge forward. He is a think tank and is responsible for the overall strategic planning.

Yuan Wendu said from the side: "There are already [-] shi of grain shipped from Guangtong warehouse. I asked about it in Luoyang, and some of them are already on the way, but Weiwei Temple's ordnance is not enough. After all, many of them were shipped to Luoyang, Duke Wei has urgently collected armaments from the official kilns in various places, so it should be in time."

"It doesn't matter if it's too late," Shi Wansui said: "At present, all the guards' weapons are fully prepared, and they can be replenished later if they are worn out. There is no rush."

The loss of ordnance is very large. Sometimes it depends on luck. For example, if a knife is smashed on the armor, the knife will be broken. If you are lucky, there will be a gap and it can be used again, but the gun and spear are broken. It has been used, and the consumption of arrows by infantry against cavalry is very huge. The current guards of the military mansion have [-] bows, [-] crossbows, and [-] each in reserve, which is indeed not enough.

Shi Wansui was not in a hurry because he had never fought a battle of wealth, and because of his own personality problems, when he asked for armaments, he would never get the full amount.

When the army goes out to fight, there are all kinds of intrigues, so Yang Ming will learn from Yang Su's rule of the army, and anyone who dares to play tricks will be beheaded.

"Urge Wei Xuan once, if you can't build it, you will be recruited urgently from all over the world. If you miss a major event, you will inevitably find trouble with him," Yang Ming ordered lightly, then looked at Fang Xuanling and the others, and said:

"It's your first time to go to battle, so be prepared. With Dugu Gong Gaoshan in front, you have to learn a lot."

"Naturally," Fang Xuanling and the others nodded.

To them, Gao Jiong is an idol, a monument, and a lifelong goal. May I ask which of them would not want to be a minister and be famous through the ages?
Of course, they won't learn Gao Jiong's temper, and he is prone to die before he leaves the school, but then again, meeting Ming Jun is another matter.

After the dinner, Yang Ming first went to see Pei Shuying, but the other party had already fallen asleep. After all, she was too tired from training in the racecourse during the day, so she could take a bath after returning, and couldn't hold on anymore.

Now everyone in the capital knows that Pei Gong's daughter is going to go to war, so that every morning, Wuhou Wei will run to Zhuque Street, waiting for the cavalry team of the Queen's side concubine to pass by, encouraging the people to cheer.

So Yang Ming next went to find Dugu Feng'er, who was sharpening his knife under the moonlight, and those who didn't know thought she was ill again.

"Four knives, two daggers, crossbow arrows, and a spear, that's all I have in my outfit," Dugu Feng'er said to Yang Ming without stopping her hands.

Yang Ming sat down beside him and asked curiously, "Can you still use a spear?"

"I know how to use a gun. Aren't spears, guns, and lances the same thing?" Dugu Feng'er said.

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Is it different?"

"It's all the same, do you want to learn?" Dugu Feng'er raised his head and asked.

Even though I am a layman, you still teach me?Yang Ming smiled and shook his head: "I learned it when I was very young, and I probably won't need it."

At this moment, Dugu Feng'er stopped what she was doing and said:
"The woman playing the piano that day is called Gao Yue, right? I heard that she is good at composing music, and doesn't Jiu Qi have an entry song? You might as well ask her to change it for you. When you return from victory in the future, you will use it. on."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You probably don't understand these things, who told you?"

"Ayun (Pei Shuying) said that the song is finished, and it can give you momentum," Dugu Feng'er laughed.

Yang Ming smiled and nodded.

In the old Qi Dynasty, there was a very famous army martial music called "The Song of Lanling King Entering the Battle". Being so famous in history, this dance music played a big role. This person was finally killed by Gao Yue's father, Gao Wei.

This repertoire has now been recorded by Taichang Temple Taiyue Department of the Sui Dynasty and changed to "Entry Song". The famous "Qin King Entrance Song" in history was adapted from this basis.

Unexpectedly, Pei Shuying still has such a vision. The whole song of entering the battle is a court repertoire, and it needs at least a large song and dance troupe of about 12 people to perform it. People, 24 dance music.

In Yang Su's mansion, including Jinyang Tower, there are dance troupes who understand this piece.

If Yang Ming came back from a big victory, there would be a piece of King Qin's entry song to build momentum for him, then it would undoubtedly be a great boost to the fight for the 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.

The night is now deep, the palace is not asleep yet, probably there are not many people there, after Yang Ming knocked on the courtyard door, Su Lie stayed outside, and he followed Gao Yue's maid into the bedroom alone.

After lighting the lamp, the maid withdrew, and Gao Yue, who was on the bed, was looking at Yang Ming in a daze.

She was already in a deep sleep, but 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 Guolu shoulders had slipped out of the quilt, revealing the deep groove.

Yang Ming came to the edge of the bed with a lamp and sat down, glanced at the place instinctively, and then said:
"Do you understand the Lanling King's Entrance Song?"

Gao Yue subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt up, but then stopped his movements, looked straight at Yang Ming with his eyes, and opened his lips lightly:

"Understood, if His Highness wants to hear, I need to prepare for a few days."

Yang Ming stretched out his hand and pulled down the quilt. The scenery was unobstructed, and Gao Yue's breath suddenly became short of breath.

"You know the song, change it, don't copy the original one," Yang Ming said with his arms back.

Gao Yue took a deep breath: "What does your Highness hope to change?"

"Change it to King Qin's Entrance Song." Yang Ming got up and said, "I have to change it before I return to Beijing, and then you give it to Shuyi and send her to Jinyang Tower. All dance troupes must learn it."

Gao Yue nodded: "Understood, don't worry, Your Highness, the style of the new chapter will definitely be completely new, and it will definitely not remind people of King Lanling."

"Okay, go to sleep," Yang Ming said, then turned and left.

On the bed, the corners of Gao Yue's mouth turned up, her face was smiling like a flower, and she felt that the short time with Yang Ming tonight was so delicious that it made her heart beat like a deer.
