Chapter 37 The pearl that has been destroyed by the sky

After some corpses with gray eyes, deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and variegated hair were buried in the loess, the valley quickly fell silent.

As the army trampled through the soft ground, the landscape was as hard as the rest of the valley, and there was no sign of it turning around.

At that time, the Mongol Yuan occupied the northwest land, and the high-ranking Semu people became the rulers of this land, so Muslimism was born.

The priests in the temples everywhere are still some Semu people, even if Meng Yuan has long since perished, they still live a relaxed life in this area, the government is gone, and they still have the right to teach.

Even a rebel hero like Lao Huihui is difficult to kill in the face of these people, and even succumb to these people, which shows the strength of these people.

Yun Zhao encountered the White Lotus Sect when he was in Qingshui County, and in his opinion, these evil people were even more difficult to deal with than the murderous Jiannu, and it seemed that they could never be killed like wild grass.

In order to eradicate the problem of religion, Qingshui County is one of the very few counties in Lantian County that does not take the development of people's livelihood as a priority.

Obviously, the same is true for Ningxia Wei.

Wherever Li Dingguo's army went, all kinds of local bandits suddenly disappeared, and all the people became obedient people.

It's just that Li Dingguo didn't show enough kindness to this scene, and everywhere he went, driving out the priests became the first priority.

He hoped that these people, who were obviously different from the Ming people in appearance, could return to their homeland, and for this reason, he even sent soldiers and horses to escort these people away and return to their distant homeland, the Yili Khanate.

The process of expelling these people was not difficult, the priests who looked different from the Ming people were expelled, and immediately there were imams wearing small hats and holding scriptures and Ming people who looked like they were stationed in the temple here.

Unlike the hard-working priests, these Ming imams not only led all the followers to chant and preach the scriptures, but some of the learned imams even acted as scripture teachers, teaching some children in need some knowledge of the scriptures.

Some imams began to tell some new and interesting stories of the Han family to the people here - for example, in the distant Guanzhong, there is a place full of gold - Lantian County.

There, no one is hungry, no one is cold, and anyone who does good will be sheltered by the Lord.

They even went to great lengths to collect a copper coin from each believer, believing that with enough copper coins, they would be able to build a magnificent temple on the Jade Mountain, the mountain of light, where every believer could hear the thunderous voice of the Lord.

Judging from the current progress of the work, it is not bad, at least, Li Dingguo's army has reached his destination, Zhenyu Fort.

There are many fortresses similar to Zhenyu Fort here, and the names are all similar, such as Pingyu Fort, Killing Fort and Jingyuan Fort and so on.

Less than three hundred miles away from Zhenyu Fort is Ningxia Town, where Ningxia Mansion is located!

It is also a pity that since the rise of Jiannu, the imperial court has focused on Jizhou, Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong, and has to be almost abandoned for the land of the Western Regions, especially after Li Hongji and other giants are all related to here, plus Ningxia Town has been losing troops in the bandit suppression war over the years, and in the end, this has become a forgotten land.

Not to mention the prosperous Hamiwei of the past.

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, it fought with Hami many times in Hamiwei, from the Chenghua period to the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, but because the Hetao Plain was occupied by Wara, the Ming Dynasty was not smooth, and it was impossible to detour from the Wara occupation area, resulting in the loss of the Ming Dynasty again in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has taken Jiayuguan as the boundary, and no soldier has gone out of the customs.

Duan Guoren sat by the fire, holding a Xun in both hands and playing a bleak, tactful tune, the sound of this instrument was ethereal and distant, and when listening to this thing, his soul was easily carried into the sky by the ethereal music.

After the song was played, Duan Guoren put down the Xun in his hand and arched his hand towards Li Dingguo: "The general came from afar, Duan Guoren had no wine to welcome, so he could only play a song "Yangguan Three Stacks" to wash the general's dust. ”

Li Dingguo took his wine bag and threw it to Duan Guoren and said: "Have a drink, today, with me and Guofeng keeping vigil for you, you can get drunk happily." ”

Duan Guoren took the wine bag, took a deep breath of wine, reveled for a moment, and after exhaling this mouthful of wine, he returned the wine bag to Li Dingguo, pointed to one of his missing ears and said, "I was born with bad hearing, so I don't dare to blunt the rest of my spiritual sense." ”

Zhang Guofeng took a large piece of mutton skewers worn with red willow branches from the sand, and said to Duan Guoren: "I heard rumors about you in the academy, you are not good hearing, but you are the best one to play musical instruments in the academy, I also heard that your flute is the best, a song "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" was once famous in Yushan Academy, even Mr. Xu praised you for having Dong Da and Li Guinian's talent, but you were born at the wrong time!" ”

Duan Guoren listened to Zhang Guofeng's words and shook his head and said: "I don't like music, and I don't like musical instruments, I just want to prove to others that even if I am born with half of my hearing, I can still do things that others can't do."

Rather than being a musician, I would rather be the chief of Ningxia Wei, which can make my blood more exciting. ”

Zhang Guofeng covered his mouth and whispered to Li Dingguo: "Be careful when you speak in the future, this guy is not good hearing, but he has a pair of thief eyes, and he can recognize the voice by looking at people's mouths." ”

Li Dingguo nodded and said to Duan Guoren: "Old Duan, we have killed all the people who can find it, and the rest of the people should be killed by Lao Hui and them within ten days."

The people are dead, and you have found a new group of imams to replace them, is this your expedient measure, or is it your desperate plan? ”

Duan Guoren said with a smile: "Eliminating the people of color is only the first step, the next step is to support the minority faction for people of different sects. ”

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "You said they weren't in the same group?" ”

Duan Guoren smiled, pointed to the dark and dark distance, and said: "Ambiguity can be transmitted from person to mouth, and 10,000 people can read 10,000 meanings of the "Heavy Classics", and the most important thing is that every interpretation comes from the great monks, and these great monks often have miracles when interpreting the "Heavy Classics" in his understanding, indicating that the only god approves of this interpretation.

The only god approves of it, but the rest of the eminent monks do not approve of it, so when there is no way to argue for a good result, the knife becomes the only authoritative explanation. ”

Zhang Guofeng spit out a piece of fat mutton and said, "If we deal with them, will they unite against us?" ”

Duan Guoren said: "Their only god has said that all the sects in the world are brothers, no matter what ideas they believe, if we flood this land like a great flood, they will naturally put aside their internal contradictions and join forces to deal with us."

Therefore, I am going to support the weaker ones, help them to oppress the rest of the sects, and then develop new doctrines, overthrow the old ones, and gradually indigenize their teachings in the process, and completely erase the shadow of the Seishians, to this extent, what they believe has nothing to do with us, it is purely a matter for the people themselves. ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about this. ”

Duan Guoren said: "I have been reading their classics hard for three years, and I have memorized the "Heavy Classics" like a stream, and I have also dabbled in their vast classics, and if I give me a few more years, I will become the wise man of their sect." ”

Zhang Guofeng said: "Since you are so sure, and when we came, the county asked us to cooperate with your actions, so all the actions are based on you, however, in front of you, Lantian County is now in crisis, and a whole army is placed in Ningxiawei, if it can't play its role, we will recommend leaving, and there is still a large area of land in the Central Plains for us to gallop." ”

Duan Guoren looked at the dark night sky and said, "The longer I stay here, the more I like it here, and just listening to the wind in the distance can make me excited every day."

If I can visit the hometown of the wind in my lifetime, I will be satisfied. ”

Li Dingguo took a bite of mutton and said, "Give me a deadline!" ”

Duan Guoren seemed to hear the wind again, and muttered in an intoxicated voice: "One year! ”

"A year?" Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng stopped eating meat in unison.

"One year, if Ningxia Wei can't be pacified within a year, it means that my strategy has completely failed, and we have to use a knife to reason with everyone here."

Duan Guoren stood up as he spoke, gathered his hands into a trumpet shape and put them on one of his intact ears, and said to Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng: "I heard Zhang Qian's camel bell, Ban Chao's horse's hooves, Xuanzang's chanting, and I even heard Kumarosh's footsteps...... Listen to it, too, very clearly. ”

Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng didn't hear what he said, and the two of them didn't hear any of the voices made by Zhang Qian, Xuanzang, and Ban Chao many, many years ago.

"It's a pure lunatic, isn't it?"

Li Dingguo said to Zhang Guofeng.

"Even if he is a madman, he is a madman who can be in the top ten in a group of perverts, oh yes, there is one thing I didn't tell you, I heard that this guy is not good at hearing and can't practice swordsmanship, so he chose a good bird gun, and also passed the improvement of the secret method, spent countless gunpowder and lead bullets, and spent several years to practice a good gun.

As far as I know, Yun Fu was willing to bow down after competing with him.

And his secret method of improving the bird gun is only known to a few people in the county and the Martial Arts Research Institute, for this reason, Lantian County owes this guy five hundred taels of gold, as long as he wants, he can go to the Finance Department at any time to withdraw it.

Therefore, among so many students in Yushan Academy, this guy is the richest one.

Even if this guy is a pervert, you can put up with him. ”
