Chapter 813: Theocracy and Kingship (1)
In the Middle East, the Qing Kingdom.
In the past half a year, the Manchurians have not been idle, since the time Dolgon issued a decree of change of service, clearly in the name of the false god to let the Persians forcibly change their halal clothes, caused a monstrous wave in Persia.
The Persians rose up in revolt, but the Manchurians left no clothes and no heads, and brazenly began bloody killings.
Manchu has 80,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, 60,000 servants and cavalry, and Persian traitors such as King Sanshun as lackeys, commanding 100,000 Persian banners after rectification.
Almost all military power was in the hands of the Manchus, and the Persians had gone through the catastrophe of the fall of the Persian Empire, and they had little strength in the first place, and in a few months, dozens of rebellions were extinguished, and more than a million Persian men, women, and children who refused to change their clothes were bloodily slaughtered.
After all, relying on bloody killings, all the Persians who resisted most fiercely were killed, and on the other hand, the Persian flags that took refuge in the Manchurians rose from less than 100,000 to 150,000, and the resistance was slowly and completely suppressed.
After the bloody slaughter, countless heads fell to the ground, and the remaining Persians had to compromise and burn their original halal clothes and replace them with the clothes prescribed by the Manchurians.
The capital of the Qing Kingdom, Isfahan, is the largest mosque in the city.
"The last of the rebel forces was also extinguished by the Manchurians, it's over, it's completely over!" Hearing this, the Great Elder staggered back two steps, almost unsteady on his feet, and fell.
Not only the Great Elder, but everyone in the entire temple was full of despair.
All the rebel forces are gone, and it is difficult for them to resist the tyranny of the Manchus.
"Great Elder, it's not good, Devil Dolgon, with countless armies, has surrounded the temple!" A temple guard ran in with a panicked face.
Since the promulgation of the Decree of Change, countless Persians have fallen to the ground, and Dolgon has become a devil and a god of death in the eyes of many Persians, and the people in the mosque call Dolgon the Great Devil.
"Sure enough, we are the only temple in the end!" The Great Elder was already numb, perhaps he had already expected this scene.
Outside the temple.
Dolgon personally led 20,000 Manchu Eight Banners, and 30,000 Persian banners suddenly appeared and surrounded the temple.
At the entrance of the temple, a group of temple guards confronted Dolgon, compared to the number of Manbaqi and Persians, the dozens of temple guards were simply like insignificant grains of dust, powerless to resist.
"The will of the true God, irresistible, must be carried out! Anyone who resists is a heresy who rebels against the true God, and there is only one way, and there is no forgiveness! Dolgon, dressed in white armor, rode on his horse, and said loudly with cold eyes.
"No mercy! No mercy! ”
The Manchurian and Persian flags on the side were shouting loudly. Among them, the most cheerful and loudest shouted actually belonged to the Persian flag composed of 30,000 Persians, which is really a bit incredible.
But in fact, it is not difficult to understand, no matter whether the Manchu people say that the will of the true God is true or not, they are the first Persians to change their clothes, and one of them must be a heretic, so naturally it is someone else, after all, they have shaved their hair and are in the same boat as the Manchu and the king of Sanshun.
Although the siege of the mosque at this moment always makes them feel a sense of trepidation, it is this panic that makes them subconsciously shout louder, as if they want to use a loud voice to prove that they are right, and those who refuse to change their clothes are heretics.
The sound came into the temple.
No one needed to report it, the Great Elder and several other elders of the mosque could already imagine what the situation was like outside.
"Great Elder, that devil of Dolgon has only given a quarter of an hour, and in a quarter of an hour, he will order the army to enter the temple and slay down all heretics who disobey the will of the true god and refuse to change their clothes!"
In an instant, the faces of the Great Elder and several other Halal Elders turned dark, and they were extremely ugly.
"What heresy! Dolgon, that devil is a heretic! He is the one who disobeys the will of the true God! A halal elder yelled angrily.
Several other mosque elders also looked sad.
Originally, they were the spokesmen of the true God on high, but now, they are about to become heretics, no matter how much they say that they are not, no matter how much they want to rebel, but all the people who rebel outside have been killed, and the whole of Persia has become a hall of words, and Dolgon says that whoever is a heretic is a heretic.
The Great Elder looked at the statue of the True God, his eyes filled with tears, but he couldn't say anything.
So far, there are only two ways to go, one is to compromise, and the other is to resist to the end, and when the people will rush in, they will commit suicide in front of the people.
Many people in the mosque are full of hideousness and anger, they are the most determined believers, they are not afraid of death, and they are ready to fight to the death.
At this moment, the Great Elder spoke, and a word shocked everyone.
"For the sake of the millennial foundation of the temple, and for the sake of continuing to maintain the true God, let's compromise!" The Great Elder spoke extremely weakly.
For a moment, there was silence here, and everyone was stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"Great, Great Elder, did you just say that you want us to compromise?" A mosque attendant stammered and confirmed to the Grand Elder.
The Great Elder sighed and nodded in confirmation.
At this moment, shock enveloped all the Persians present.
"Compromise! How can we compromise, we are the spokesmen of the true God, the staunchest guardians of the true God, how can we compromise with the devil! One of the elders of the mosque was the first to roar with red eyes.
How can they compromise, Dolgon's obvious false will of the true God, but in the end they have to make them admit the will of the false true God, how to be worthy of the true God, the true God will definitely blame them.
Knowing that it is the will of the false true God, but asking them to change their halal clothes and accept the clothes prescribed by the devil, how can they accept it after believing for most of their lives!
"Great Elder, do you know what you were talking about?" The elder angrily questioned the Great Elder.
The Great Elder sighed again, and said helplessly: "Regardless of whether the will of the true God is false or not, the believers outside have already compromised and regarded it as true, our mosque is the first batch of mosques to be established, not only the largest mosque in Persia, but also the oldest mosque in Persia, it must not be destroyed like this, only compromise can keep it!" ”
In this way, we may have rebelled against the true God, but the true God still has countless believers in the world, and they still need our guidance, temporary compromises, just to lead the believers back from the wrong path in the future!" The Great Elder said. Compromise is described as temporary forbearance, forbearance in order to redirect believers who have been forced down the wrong path in the future.
I don't know if the Great Elder is sincere or not, but he is really good at saying this.
