My Daming New Empire

Page 377

Hearing Ha San's words, he said softly: "In the third year of Yongle, I went to the Western Regions for the first time. In Banggeci and other countries, I saw the difficult survival of those small countries. Because of the competition for territory and faith, people are always fighting. In the southern continent, hundreds of small countries are constantly being destroyed and reborn.

In the eighth year of Yongle, I went to Khormos for the first time, which was a vassal state of the Timur Kingdom. I also followed the envoys to Baghdad, but Baghdad at that time was already broken under the barbaric rule of the Timur Kingdom.

In the 12th year of Yongle, I went to Tianfang, the holy city in the far west, and met more people of the same belief as me.But they disappointed me because they were completely enslaved.Enslaved by aliens, enslaved by their beliefs. "

Ha San looked at Zheng He in a daze. On the one hand, his body hadn't recovered, and on the other hand, he didn't understand what Zheng He wanted to say at all.

Zheng He didn't care about his attitude at all, and continued as if confiding his heart, "I grew up in the Palace of King Yan, and His Majesty was still King Yan at that time. He told us that everything depends on ourselves. Fight with both hands.

We plant seeds and we can harvest more food in the fall.If you are a lazy man, if you don't plant the land, you will have no harvest, and if you don't weed, the grain will not be produced.

King Yan wanted to get the throne by grabbing it with a knife and a gun. If we want to live a good life, we have to fight for it with our own hands.

I got to know Master Daoyan, and I only worshiped him as my teacher at first because he was an important minister of King Yan.But when I came into contact with the Buddhist scriptures, I realized that the reason why human beings are not animals is because we all have different thoughts, etiquette and morality, and the pursuit of a better life.

Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Greenism, the teachings of these religions all have the same thing, that is, the hope that can give people inner comfort.All religions create their own unique atmosphere through religious images, religious rituals, religious music, etc.

Through this induction method, people can form the feeling of supremacy, purification, holiness, mystery, conversion, repentance, and new life in their hearts.This feeling of crossing and permeating together is also the self-feeling that distinguishes human beings from animals.

Moreover, through religious belief and religious constraints, people can always remember to abandon evil and promote good in their hearts, and they can also learn to care for the weak.So I chose to believe in religion, because this belief makes me more satisfied in my heart.

However, what I believe in is truth, not God! "

A pious light appeared on Zheng He's face, but his words did not match his expression at all.

Ha San looked at his face and felt that he was more like a lunatic than himself!

Of course there are gods in this world, but without gods, where do people come from?

Zheng He continued: "There is no god in this world. If there really is a god, the emperor has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and he has registered ghosts and gods, which also shows that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is greater than gods. But I know that the emperor is just a person, and he also has happiness. Anger, sorrow and joy, but also eat, drink and sleep.

There are no gods in this world. The so-called gods are created by people according to their own imagination and needs.I am familiar with the Quran, Buddhist scriptures, and Taoist scriptures. Although I cannot be said to be a peerless talent, I think that there are not many people who know more about the major religions than I do.

All religions emerged to satisfy people's dissatisfaction with real life.My belief in religion is to believe in its principles, not its gods. Rather than believing in gods, it is better to believe in ourselves.

If there are gods, why are there still all kinds of wars? If there are gods, why do gods never satisfy any hope of the world?Why can everything be on my own?

Ha San, if there is a god, why doesn't your god come to save you? "

"God is in my heart, I can feel him, I can feel him..."

"Everything is just your illusion...Look at your shitty appearance. If this is the agent of God, even if there is a God, then God is nothing more than a waste. No matter what religion, there is no power that I, the Emperor Ming, can bestow. Bigger, higher status, isn't it?"

"This is because of the role of power, gods control inner thoughts, and emperors control secular power."

Although he was in a trance, Ha San could still argue with Zheng He instinctively.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zheng He sighed and said, "I have searched for an answer all my life, but in the end, no one can give me an answer. So I can only believe in myself. I believe, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty With Taisun, you can give the world a better life than God.”

Ha San laughed wildly, because he had no strength and his throat was injured, he could only lie on the ground and let out a hoarse laugh.

Laughing, he burst into tears and trembled all over.

"It turns out that you have always been a heretic, and it is in vain for me to regard you as a member of the same family." He stared at Zheng He with hatred and said, "Heretics are more damnable than heretics..."

Zheng He felt a little sad, but quickly adjusted himself.He said softly: "Since Yunnan was destroyed, I have entered the Yan Palace since I was young. Although the Ming Dynasty made me crippled, His Royal Highness Yan Wang has treated me with great kindness. He raised me up, trained me in martial arts, and taught me to be a man. reason.

Although the clan allowed me to come to this world and gave me life, I have been doing my best to support the clan all these years.As for ethnic groups... Ming Dynasty did not divide different people into different classes like the Mongols and Yuans. No matter if they were Han, Mongols or Tibetans, they were all members of the Ming Dynasty.In my heart, I am also a Daming person.

As for you saying that you recognized me wrongly, but I have a clear conscience when I associate with you. Only you are sorry for me, and I am sorry for you without me.In these years, you have made every effort to associate with me, isn't it because you value my identity?

Seeing you today, I just want to ask you a question.Why do you have to contradict?You are a Semitic, and now the Western Semites are still slaves under the iron heels of the Turkic and Mongolian people, but the Semites in Ming Dynasty can live like human beings.What's your dissatisfaction?Is it just to make people believe in a God who doesn't exist? "

"If you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it. Have you been studying Qulen, is it to find evidence that there is no God?"

Zheng He shook his head and said, "No, I just want the world to live a better life!"

His personal eunuch Jia Shiwen entered the cabin and reminded softly: "My lord, the fleet is about to depart."

"Understood..." Zheng He waved his hand, and the official of the Ministry of Punishment immediately exited the cabin again.

Zheng He picked up a plate from the table in front of him, placed it in front of Ha San, brought another jug ​​of wine, and filled the two silver cups with wine.

"You and I have a friendship, and use this glass of wine to end it today. If you can see Allah in the future, ask him for me, why can't people live in peace?"

"Is this a guillotine?"

"No, farewell wine. You will be escorted to Xingcheng for a public trial, and I will also go to Bengkulu for a conquest. We will bid farewell today, and we will never see each other again."

Ha San no longer cared about his own life and death, and laughed wildly when he heard Zheng He's words. "Is this the peace you want? For peace, are you going to conquer the Bengkulu tribe now?"

"Da Ming needs such shock and awe to make the Nanyang countries submit. This kind of war is to avoid a larger-scale war."

"But it's all war after all... hypocrisy, really hypocrisy..."

Ha San picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down, then threw the glass away, looked at Zheng He and said firmly: "Allah will never be defeated..."

Zheng He also drank the wine in his glass and waved his hand, and two small officials from the punishment department entered the cabin and wanted to tie him up again.

"Let's go with it like this, it's considered a friend after all."

At this time, Ha San, who regained a little sanity, realized that he was on the river, and at a glance, there were endless sail shadows.

This Daming is really too powerful!

Zheng He led the fleet and left. The Chinese people in the old port experienced the initial panic. Now they know that there are people who want to rebel against Ming Dynasty, and they all want to tear those who want to rebel into pieces.

And the street calmed down again, even more lively because of the arrival of a large number of soldiers.

But this excitement will eventually come to an end, because Zhu Zhanji is leaving too.

The competition will be held in Star City, and before the competition, there will be a public trial of thousands of people who participated in the rebellion.

All countries in Southeast Asia will send representatives to participate in this competition, and many rich households with good family assets havetened to take their families and sail to Star City to watch the fun.

Such a lively event is rare in a lifetime.

Such limelight covered up the impact of Zheng He's dispatch of troops.

Only the leaders of the Nanyang countries are worried now, and they already feel that Zhu Zhanji is stronger than Zhu Di.

Although he seemed to have given Wan Mao a choice, he sent an army without waiting for Wan Mao's response, which showed that he didn't want to give Wan Mao any chance at all.

To go to war just to kill a soldier, this overturned everyone's feelings towards Daming.

Now it depends on whether Da Ming's war against the Bengkulu tribe goes smoothly. If the Bengkulu tribe can't be solved, it means that Da Ming is only strong on the outside.

But if Da Ming solves the Bengkulu tribe cleanly, then in the future, they will be obedient.
