Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The Ming Emperor's lament was quite straightforward.

Zhu Biao was dumbfounded, but soon became curious:

"Dad, is there really nothing special about that one-eyed stone man?"

Hearing the elder brother's question, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen also raised their heads and looked at their father curiously. Even Zhu Zhen put down his book and looked like he was listening.

The one-eyed stone man stirred up the Yellow River in the eleventh year of Zhizheng, and the oldest Zhu Biao was born in the fifteenth year of Zhizheng. Moreover, the stone man was dug out in Yinghe River, far away from Yingtian Mansion. , naturally there is no chance to see it.

And it was only when the light curtain was mentioned today that the brothers suddenly remembered:

There seems to be no record of the stone man who stirred up the Yellow River.

"What do you think is so strange about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said this with some disdain:

"Everyone who has seen the stone man said that he has all the features and body, but one eye is missing. This is just a rumor. After the incident, the whereabouts of the stone man are unknown, and he was probably abandoned. If he could have such a light, The curtain is so magical, how could it be lost?”

"But since this light curtain can favor us, doesn't it mean that we are the ones who are destined to be destined?"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang inevitably became a little complacent, but he was soon ruthlessly exposed by Zhu Biao:

"But dad, you also said that this screen has magical powers only when it lives in my mother's Kunning Palace. It has no difference no matter how long it has been placed in the Huagai Palace before."

"It can be seen that the curtain of light is that it is my mother who favors me. It cannot be said that future generations cannot bear to see my mother suffer misfortune."

Zhu Yuanzhang's beard suddenly began to tremble:

"Then...husband and wife are one body. What's the difference between favoring the queen and favoring me and Ming Dynasty?"

In the end, Empress Ma felt a little amused and came over to calm down the minor verbal dispute between father and son. Then Son of Heaven picked up what he had said before and continued to talk about the stone man:

"And in the early years, there were many rumors about the stone man. Some people claimed that the stone man was engraved with the stone man's sight, which turned the world upside down."

"But these are not as clear as this younger generation. What kind of magic can a stone man who pretends to be a god do? It is not rumors and prophecies that have turned the world upside down, but the resentment of the people."

"Then Tuotuo is willing to find a solution, but Yuan Li... ha."

The disdain on Zhu Yuanzhang's face was very obvious:

"The food money given by the Yuan Dynasty was deducted by the provincial officials, and the common people's income was less than one-tenth, so how can they not complain?"

"Before these civilians were forced to build the river, they were all trapped in heavy taxes long ago. How could they not be resentful and angry?"

"Biao'er needs to take this as a warning."

At this point, Zhu Biao also handed over his hands solemnly:

"Er save it."

[There were many ethnic groups under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and the beliefs of the Mongolian elites were relatively mixed. Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty basically ignored religion. This resulted in a wide variety of folk religions, and ordinary people believed in all kinds of religions. However, these religions are based on our current laws and regulations. If so, it’s basically a cult that hasn’t escaped.

But in the late Yuan Dynasty, when all things were flourishing and flourishing, these chaotic sects began to roll up, the most typical of which was Han Shantong.

Han Shantong's family has believed in the White Lotus Sect for generations, which is a branch of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism in the Southern Song Dynasty. Its purpose is quite simple: as long as you don't drink alcohol, eat onions, ginger, and garlic, and can recite the Buddha's name, you can be reborn in the bliss of the Western Heaven.

In addition, the White Lotus Religion has no restrictions on marrying, having children, eating meat, fighting, etc. This down-to-earth religion is very popular among the people. After all, the threshold for religious belief is not high. What if you can really be reborn in bliss in the future?

However, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Han Shantong, who was determined to make trouble, felt that the somewhat lying teachings of the White Lotus Sect were not enough, so he synthesized various sects on the market at that time and came up with a new trick:

Han Shantong began to eat only vegetables instead of meat. At the same time, he preached to the people who followed that Maitreya was about to come to earth to save the world, and that he himself was the reincarnation of Peacock King Ming.

Strict control over diet was learned from Manichaeism.

The theory that Maitreya descended to earth was based on the doctrine of Maitreya belief among the people at that time. Some modern scholars speculate that the origin of this belief may be the fusion of Maitreya's reincarnation and the birth of Jego, which is a new type of belief that combines Chinese and Western beliefs.

The theory of the reincarnation of King Maurya was adopted from the Lamaism believed by the Mongolian dignitaries at that time. King Maurya was one of the five great kings in Lamaism.

Needless to say, Han Shantong’s purpose of creating this suture monster was just to cause trouble.

After all, although there were many chaotic sects in the late Yuan Dynasty, in the final analysis, the ones with well-organized structures and those who loved rebellion were the White Lotus Sect, Manichaeism, and Maitreya Faith.

Manichaeism in particular can be said to be famous. Its history of rebellion can be traced back to the Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Shuozhen, the first woman to proclaim herself emperor, used early Manichaeism to gather people during her uprising. After its failure, Emperor Ji and Wan were left behind. In the 1960s, these two things were used by Fang La, who was also a Manichae, to rebel. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, another name of Manichaeism was more widely known, namely Ming Zun Jiao, or Ming Zun Jiao.

Because the tendency of Han Shantong's teachings was too obvious, he was soon convicted and banished to Yongnian Bailuzhuang, where he met Liu Futong, who also believed in Dayuan Pills and had money.

Later, Han Shantong and Liu Futong were both recruited into the ranks of civilians, so the rebellion was almost a matter of course.

After the stone man was born, a scholar named Sheng Wenyu in the rebel team told Han Shantong that your identity as the reincarnated Peacock King of Maitreya should be temporarily postponed. Your identity as the eighth grandson of Song Huizong is more suitable for you.

Han Shantong himself never thought that after living for most of his life, he would only know that my surname is Zhao today.

Whether it is true or not, from here on, the rebel army officially launched the slogan "Three thousand tiger soldiers, straight to the land of Youyan; the dragon flies to the ninth heaven, reopening the sky of the Song Dynasty", and put on a layer of legal cloak to revive the Song Dynasty.

It is not difficult to guess that Sheng Wenyu's intention to find Han Shantong the eighth-generation grandson of Song Huizong is not difficult to guess. Song Huizong died in the north nine years after being captured by the Jin Kingdom, which highlights the fact that there is no evidence.

But the name of Song Huizong obviously has no deterrent power. When the local county magistrate heard about the rebellion, he mobilized troops on the spot and sent Han Shantong to see Song Huizong.

Liu Futong and Han Shantong's son Han Lin'er fought desperately and ran to Fuyang, Anhui. After arriving here, their rebellion began to turn around, and recruiting soldiers and horses was quite smooth. Of course, the more important reason was that there were too many people in the world who rebelled in the name of Han Shantong's "Red Turban Army".

Sesame Li and Peng Da in Xuzhou, Guo Zixing in Fengyang, Anhui, Wang Quan in Nanyang, and Meng Haima in Xiangyang all fought under the banner of the Red Turban Army.

However, the most arrogant among them was Xu Shouhui in Hubei, who directly proclaimed himself emperor with the support of Maitreya belief.

If the rebellion of Mingjiao was to build a structure first and then go public, then the rebellion of Maitreya belief has always been intended to be done in one step. The most typical example is Peng Yingyu who rebelled with Xu Shouhui.

Fifteen years before the uprising of the Red Turban Army, Peng Yingyu rebelled with a man named Zhou Ziwang in Yuanzhou. Zhou Ziwang, under the persuasion of Peng Yingyu, also directly called the empire Zhou, but this rebellion was quickly put down. Zhou Ziwang died but Peng Yingyu ran fast. Fifteen years later, he dragged Xu Shouhui to repeat the plot again. Maybe Peng Yingyu's hobby is to watch others become emperors.

But we all remember that before repairing the river, Tuotuo patted his chest and promised that no one would rebel.

Now the Red Turban rebels are all over the country, and Tuotuo, the last prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, is also beginning to walk on his own road to death. 】
