Chapter 319 Suddenly

Songshan has always been an important place for Buddhism, but monks from the Yuanming branch are the leaders. For example, what Mount Longhu is to Taoism is what Mount Song is to Buddhism.

As Monk Yuanming said, for those who practice Buddhism, both Dharma and wealth are indispensable. The Dharma is the foundation. Without a Dharma door, there is no way to practice it. Wealth is also important. Without wealth, where would resources come from?

Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, practitioners all need financial support. However, Taoist monks mostly take the upper-class route, and most of their wealth comes from the families of high-ranking officials. Buddhism, on the other hand, mostly follows the path of common people. For example, Songshan Buddhism has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and more than 100,000 tenants!

The home of high-ranking officials and nobles was used to worship Taoist monks and each took what they needed. Ying Yi can't care about this. However, Buddhism embraces land and restrains the people, which is something that those in power cannot tolerate.

If the previous Ming Dynasty could tolerate it, it was because there was nothing they could do. But here in Ying Yi, there is no scruple at all.

Years ago, when he conquered Henan, Ying Yi ordered the bandits to be suppressed and the population of the land to be counted. Songshan Buddhist School was among them. Li Zhenren and Ying Yi talked about the Songshan Buddhist monks, and Ying Yi ordered the officials who measured the land and counted the population to give Songshan Buddhist monks a choice.

There was no disturbance at that time, and Ying Yi thought that the monks from Songshan Buddhism had really come out of the world. Unexpectedly, it should be at this time.

"King Xia's persecution was too severe, and the poor monk could not get rid of his anger. After thinking about it, I realized that only when King Xia's power is over, can I, the Buddha, be safe."

Ying Yi laughed: "You, a Buddhist monk from Songshan Mountain, never voted for Li Chuang or helped the Ming Dynasty, but in the end you voted for the Tatars. It is really ridiculous. I once shared a road to heaven with you, but you don't want it. You want to go against me." Now that it falls into the hands of this king, all he can do is die."

Monk Yuanming looked calm: "If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person, Amitabha."

"You are self-aware." After Ying Yi finished speaking, he turned to look at a group of lamas: "You lamas have never been peaceful since the establishment of political power in Tibet. When the Tatars were in power, they helped Temujin, and now they are helping to build slaves. , his behavior is extremely hateful."

"Only for the purpose of preaching." Dharma King Yuanri struggled to sit cross-legged and said: "The Central Plains is exclusive, and it is difficult for our Tantric Buddhism to spread. The only way is to find other ways."

Ying Yi nodded to express his understanding and said: "Your Tantric philosophy is inconsistent with the people of China, and this is the fundamental reason. Look at China's Buddhism, which is the same as Sakyamuni, and has been going smoothly for more than a thousand years? It has even suppressed Taoism many times? In fact? Naer and other wolves are so ambitious that they want to overthrow the Xia Dynasty. They actually use it in the name of preaching."

Having said this, Ying Yi smiled and said, "You are against me today. The king of Japan invades Tibet, cuts down your mountain gate, and destroys your temple. What do you think?"

Dharma King Yuanri trembled all over and lowered his head without saying a word.

Ying Yi looked at Dorgon, who was obviously already decrepit. Then he looked at the other ones, who were covered in feces and urine, and felt bored for a moment.

No more words were said at the moment, the sword flashed, the heads rolled, and they all went to hell.

Thinking about Dorgon, he was so majestic all his life, but in the end he was just like an old dog. Think of the Jurchen banner leader who once ruled the world and killed so many Han people. In the end, he ended up with nothing but urine and feces, and was no different from a rogue in the market?

Whether a capable man or a foreigner, what difference does it make between a pig and a sheep if he falls into Ying Yi's hands?

Ying Yi didn't realize that his mood had waned. There was probably no time in the world for him to get excited about fighting again. Even that Heavenly Master Zhang couldn't stand two sword blows when he was in front of him now.

In the distance, there were still sounds of fighting, and nearby, the personal guards were finishing their work. Thirty percent of the ten thousand Jiannu elite cavalry were killed by Ying Yi with one strike. The rest were as frightened as dogs and had no horses to ride on them. How could they escape? With the efficient killing by the personal guards, the dust has settled by now.

Ying Yi stood on the spot, inserted the knife on the ground, and sighed slightly. There is no interest in going to the west or north mountain passes anymore.

After Wang Yisheng handed over the order, Ying Yi got on his horse and said, "I am returning to Shanhaiguan. You can handle the rest in your own area."

Wang Yisheng didn't know why his Majesty was in such a mood, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He said "hey" and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Ying Yi rode alone back to Shanhaiguan.

At dawn, Zhu Bingkun and others led their troops back to report the results of the battle to Ying Yi.

After a night of fighting, the troops and horses led by Zhu Bingkun and Wang Siwu were all injured. Zhu Bingkun's 6,000 troops suffered 300 casualties, including more than 270 lightly or seriously injured, and less than 30 casualties. Wang Siwu was the captain who led another army. His 6,000 men led more than 400 casualties, 380 were injured, and more than 50 were killed in battle.

As for the results, they are naturally brilliant. Zhu Bingkun's troops beheaded 12,000 people and captured 1,000 people. Less than 7,000 people were able to break through. Wang's troops from the fourth and fifth divisions beheaded 13,000 people and captured 500, including those who escaped.

As a result, after a night of fierce fighting, Jiannu's 70,000 elite troops were reduced to 56,000, and 1,600 were captured. Only less than 13,000 were able to break through.

"In the heyday of Jiannu, there were 100,000 elite soldiers. Now, except for the more than 10,000 panic dogs who have escaped, there are probably only soldiers guarding Liaoyang. Their strength is no longer significant." After hearing the battle report, Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Everyone All the officers and men have distinguished themselves in battle and will be rewarded when they return to the capital. Zhu Bingkun quickly prepared a battle report and reported it to the capital. With my king's order, he ordered the Pastoral Council to announce it to all directions, so as to save the people's worries."

"Here!"

Ying Yi said again: "I will return to the capital soon. As the commander of the war zone, you can make your own decisions about what is going on here. Jinzhou has its own way of intercepting the escapees of Jiannu. On the contrary, the army of Jiannu attached to the front line behind the barrier is now composed of soldiers." Got the big head."

Zhu Bingkun lowered his head and said, "Please tell me."

Ying Yi said: "There are probably tens of thousands of people on the front line behind the Yin Barrier, all traitor soldiers and Korean soldiers. On the other side of the Ningyuan line, there are also more or less troops stationed in the forts. Together, they should be no less than the Tatars themselves. The number is seventy thousand."

Dorgon sent hundreds of thousands of troops, including 200,000 regular soldiers. In addition to the 70,000 Jurchen elite cavalry of its headquarters, there are also 140,000, all of which are Han Eight Banners and Korean soldiers. Since the troops were stationed on the front line, fighting every day, they suffered many injuries, not to mention too many, there were still tens of thousands.

The total number of the rest should be more than the number of soldiers and horses in the Tatar headquarters, at least about the same.

"There are also 300,000 robes from the Tatars, all of which are in the forts behind Sanshan Camp." 300,000 robes are not a handful. As the Tatars' logistics and cannon fodder, the role of coating is actually very important. But their combat effectiveness is questionable. You can't fight a tough battle.

The battle for national destiny is so important that Dorgon dare not put Bao Yi on the front line. Afraid that Baoyi would not be able to fight a tough battle, he was placed in the rear as support, guard, and to look after the grain road.

This is also the specific reason why Sanshan Yingbao is not coated.

Although there were many doubts about Abate's fall, it also sounded a warning to Dorgon, forcing him to act with caution.

He was afraid that if he put the coating in front, once the coating collapsed at the first touch, it would come back and cause a huge chain reaction of 300,000 people.

But anyway, these are not important now.

Then I heard Ying Yi say: "The founding of Daxia is about to begin, and we need a lot of manpower. However, we have to make a decision whether to take prisoners or not."

A stern look flashed in his eyes: "Now that the Tatars have been defeated, it is expected that the traitors and subordinates will surrender. But I don't want such prisoners. Remember, the traitors and Korean soldiers behind the barrier are not allowed to surrender. !”

Zhu Bingkun and other generals present were all shocked and understood what Ying Yi meant.
