Chapter 901: Believe in One Religion and Gain Eternal Life
"Militaristic affairs. The simple four words scared Li's legs weakly, and he fell down vigorously, but fortunately, Zhang Nan's eyes were quick and he helped Li with one hand.
After being held by Zhang Nan, Li looked at Zhang Nan with a look of expectation and nervousness, and then asked, "Master Zhang, what my father said is true?" Is there really a major military matter to be explained to me? ”
Lee now feels like he was an ordinary person, and suddenly one day he was pulled on the road and told him that the safety of this country is in your hands.
"That's right, it's really a military matter, if you want to do it well, it will help Datang destroy a country." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Li was ready to pull it over.
Seeing that he was about to roll his eyes, Zhang Nan immediately pinched Li and asked Li not to faint.
"Huh!" Li Chang took a breath, and this was barely relieved.
"Sit down, what does this look like? I also pointed to you to go to Tubo to help me destroy Tubo, just like you, can I point to you? Li Er also frowned when he saw Li's appearance and said.
"Yes!" Seeing that Li Er was about to leave, Li hurriedly straightened up.
"Okay, Qingquan, tell him what's going on." After Li Er finished speaking, he walked to the stands of the box and began to watch the horse racing in progress below.
And Zhang Nan also explained to Li what he should do when he went to Tubo this time.
After talking for a long time, Zhang Nan finally made it clear to Li what he was going to do in Tubo this time.
"Master Zhang, you mean, I'm going to take a team of men and horses to a place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop? Like a monk? Li looked at Zhang Nan and asked with a serious face.
"That's what you mean, but what you have to do is not just to preach, you have to recruit believers, but you have to make sure that everyone who enters your religion believes in that religion unconditionally." Zhang Nan said.
"Master Zhang, it's easy for you to let me deceive people, but how can I know if they will find out that this teaching is fake after a while." Li also said with a difficult face.
"Who told you this religion is fake?" Zhang Nan glanced at Li angrily.
"Do you think the monks in those temples don't believe in the idea that people are reincarnated?"
"That's nature, huh?" Li Dao.
"Do you believe that people will be reincarnated after death, and then become a new person?" Zhang Nan continued to ask.
"Naturally, I don't believe it, after this person dies, he becomes a ghost, and then goes to the underworld, so naturally he can no longer be a human being." Lee replied.
The Buddhist concept of reincarnation is formed by borrowing from the reincarnation idea of ancient Indian Brahmanism, and before the introduction of Buddhism, China did not have the concept of reincarnation, so the original Taoism did not talk about reincarnation.
The concept of ghosts began to appear very early in China, and it is generally believed that people will become ghosts after death, go to the underworld, and some will also be left in the world.
Around the time of the Wei and Jin dynasties, some Taoists absorbed the Buddhist concept of reincarnation, believing that when a person becomes a ghost after death, he can choose to be reincarnated, or he can choose to continue his practice and become a ghost and immortal. Later, Taoism had the saying of five reincarnations.
Therefore, in Datang, most people still don't believe in the theory of reincarnation.
"That's not it, you don't believe it, but those who believe in Buddhism believe, now I tell you, believe in a religion, get eternal life, all you have to do is to make the people of Tibet believe that you can do it." Zhang Nan said.
After hearing this, Li shook his head blankly.
"Huh, let's just say that, you will lie to people, when will they be deceived into believing that there is really a god that we have made up in this world, and the more beliefs, the more true the faith, the more feedback you will get, it's as simple as that." Zhang Nan said.
"I don't understand."
“.…… Your Majesty, let's change someone. Zhang Nan saw that he had been talking for a long time as if he was playing the piano to a cow, and he also said to Comrade Li Er, who was standing by the stands.
"Don't, Master Zhang, there's something to discuss, although I'm a little stupid, but I'm willing to learn." Li hurriedly grabbed Zhang Nan's arm with a smiling face.
For Lee, this is the most important thing he has ever encountered, and this is a good opportunity to prove himself, and Li doesn't want to let it go.
"I'll give you a simple example, do Chen Sheng and Wu Guang know?"
"I know this, although I don't read many books, but I know them." Li saw that he finally knew something, and he hurriedly said.
As the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng's popularity was still very high.
Before the two of them acted, they used cinnabar to write the three big characters "Chen Shengwang" on a piece of silk and stuffed it into the belly of the fish caught by the fishermen. The soldiers bought fish and came back to eat it, and found the "Dan Book" in the belly of the fish. At the same time, the two of them let others lurk in a deserted temple near the camp, and in the middle of the night, they lit a bonfire next to the temple and pretended to be a ghost fire, imitating the voice of a fox, and shouted loudly, "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng"! You get the idea. ”
Zhang Nan is also helpless, if Li still doesn't know what to do, then Zhang Nan really has to seriously consider letting Comrade Li Er change someone.
"I understand, I understand, Master Zhang, what you mean is for me to use the words of ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods to confuse those Tubo people and make them believe me, and when the time comes, I will come up with some small favors, and they will naturally agree with me." Lee finally got the gist of this.
"That's what it means, but how to do it is still up for debate, but you have to remember that we are not calling deception, this is called brainwashing."
"Brainwashing?!"
As soon as Zhang Nan's words came out, even Comrade Li Er, who was sitting in the stands watching Marseille, had his ears stiffened.
"Brainwashing refers to the use of external pressure to instill special ideas into others. Just like the example we gave just now, the Danshu in the belly of the fish and the ghost fire next to the temple were all used external pressure to instill the idea that Chen Sheng was the leader of the rebellion into other soldiers. Zhang Nan said.
"The essence of brainwashing is to use all means to instill in others the knowledge and ideas that are in line with one's own interests. The key to distinguishing whether brainwashing is not the process of indoctrination, but whether this viewpoint and theory conform to science and regularity. To put it simply, everyone else thinks that this thing is obviously impossible to achieve, but those people just believe that this thing can be realized, which is called brainwashing. Zhang Nan continued.
"I see, then it's simple, Master Zhang, you just need to tell me, which step we want to take, I definitely don't have any problem."
