The name of the temple where Zhu Yuanzhang lived was: Huangjue Temple (later Zhu Yuanzhang gave it the name: Dalongxing Temple, now a national AAA tourist attraction). The address of the temple is located six kilometers south of Fengyang, Anhui. Before Zhu Yuanzhang entered the temple, it was a dilapidated temple.

It was a small temple, but when Zhu Yuanzhang became prosperous, Huangjue Temple became famous all over the world overnight.

In the fourth year of Emperor Shun's reign, that is, 1344 AD, our Bage entered Huangjue Temple at the age of seventeen and became the second errand in his life: a monk.

Dharma name: Yuanlong (some people also call him Rujing. The Dharma name Yuanlong is not necessarily accurate, because at that time, dragon could not be used casually, but later he became the emperor, so this was how it was written in the history books.

privilege, otherwise if you don’t agree with him, you will be killed. Anyway, the souls who died under Zhu Yuanzhang were not tens of thousands, but certainly thousands!).

Although he is a monk in name, in fact he is not even a monk.

According to the facts, Zhu Yuanzhang's level should be that of a novice monk, which is one level lower than a monk.

Because less than two months after Zhu Chongba entered the temple, he was kicked out and became a wandering monk. He began to beg for alms everywhere.

This kind of life is definitely not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants.

But facing the power of the abbot and the abbot, and facing the hegemony of the other party whose arms were thicker than his own thighs, he could only endure silently.

If you want food, you need food, and it’s not like you haven’t asked for it before!

Who is afraid of whom!

Well, there was nothing I could do. Who told him that his life was miserable? He wandered around and started doing his job again.

This can better illustrate his transformation from a monk to an emperor overnight. Either he drank the soup, or he became a Super Saiyan. Anyway, he is unusually tough.

During these two months, myna's job was not only ringing the bell, but also doing laundry and cooking.

As for Buddhism and chanting sutras, it has nothing to do with him. You can just stay and relax.

But I think this may be what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted, because he didn't have enough to eat in the past. In addition to herding cattle, he was beaten every day. Not to mention white-flour buns, even stick noodle nests may not have been seen a few times.

The fundamental purpose of his coming to Huangjue Temple was to find work and have enough to eat.

Let him cook now, which is exactly what he wants.

Because the food of the monks can be withheld, and the food of the monks can be stolen. If you hide in any nook and corner, you can eat part of it secretly. Even the dregs of the rice will be delicious.

In fact, this cannot be regarded as corruption on his part, because after experiencing the tragedy of being starved to death, any food will taste delicious to those who are surviving the disaster.

But the only difference is that Monk Zhu's mission has changed now. He has become a bald man. He frowns and looks at the yellow-faced man with no hair and severe malnutrition. He is furious and bends over.

He pinched his waist, stared, held back his anger, pointed at the little bastard in front of him and yelled angrily.

Go, go, eat, find work!

During my stay at Huangjue Temple, there was another small episode.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang came back late from work. The monks had closed the mountain gate early. No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang called, no one came to open the door. I think from this point, we can see that there are some problems with Zhu Yuanzhang's character. At least he is consistent with his character.

The relationship between these monks is not very harmonious, otherwise why would these stinky bald heads make things difficult for him?

In this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to sleep outside the mountain gate.

He was lying on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky, and blurted out, perhaps in passing:

The sky is a tent and the ground is a felt.

The sun, moon and stars accompany me to sleep.

You might as well stretch your legs at night,

Afraid of stepping on the mountains and rivers and destroying the country.

History books say that the escape of this poem also alarmed the Jialan God in the temple. We will not talk about this part because it is too mythical and is completely made up to deceive children. We will not talk about it here.

mentioned.

In this environment, Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear anything.

Listen to others' advice in order to have enough food, and bear with others' advice in order to sleep well.

In order to eat, I endure;

I do it to sleep.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang spent just two months in these days when he could not be said to have enough food and clothing, but he could barely fill his stomach.

[Carrying a bowl and begging for food]

Two months later, the abbot and elders of the temple saw that the food in the temple was dwindling day by day. For fear that they themselves would also be hungry, they began to ask the monks to travel around.

Of course, the monks don't say that. In their opinion, this is asking them to beg for food.

Euphemistically called: alms!

Because Huangjue Temple relies on rent collection and incense to make a living.

In that era of displacement, people were so scattered that no one was still farming or burning incense, let alone paying for incense.

It was under such circumstances that one day not long after, the glorious and arduous task of begging for alms finally fell on Myna.

What greeted him was a wooden fish with peeling paint on one side and a tattered cassock with several big holes in it.

Farewell to the master and host.

From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang was alone again, biting the bullet, knocking fish and chanting Buddha's name, and walked around the world!

No matter what era you are in, begging for food is difficult. Zhu Yuanzhang once asked for food when his parents died two months ago. He must have mastered some begging skills. Now that he has regained his job, it is better than those who

It is natural for children to be stronger than cats. Besides, after staying in the monastery for a long time, those monks who used to travel would also publicize their travel experiences from time to time. Zhu Yuanzhang kept these things in mind, and now he is just moving from theory to practice.

Didn't Mr. Marx say that all thoughts must proceed from practice, and thoughts that are divorced from practice are utopian.

As the same saying goes, in order to eat, I endure it,

I do it to sleep.

Isn’t it just asking for food? If others can ask for it, so can I.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that those old monks said that people begging for food should not wander around in remote areas. Although the people in those places are real, the people who can give alms are very limited.

So the myna chooses those wealthy families.

Most of these wealthy families have a vicious dog to guard the door. These beasts have sharper eyes than humans. When they see you wearing rags and disheveled clothes, they will grin and roar wildly.

The owner roared even louder when he was nearby. After all, there is a reason for a dog to compete with others.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew this, so when he approached the gate of the big family's courtyard, he banged on the wooden fish and shouted Buddhist slogans. Although he had never studied the scriptures, Amitabha would still come and say a few words.

It's okay to coax these wild people.

Moreover, most of the people who can become big households have dirty foundations. In that era when people eat people, ghosts eat ghosts, and animals live better than people, without any power, no matter how much wealth you have, they will be squeezed out of you.

The richer these wealthy households are, the more superstitious they become. They do a lot of bad things on a daily basis. Let’s not talk about the outrageous things for the time being. Just talk about the landlord squeezing the tenants’ hard-earned money, which makes them very upset.

They are also afraid that one day when they report to the Lord of Hell, they will be thrown into a mountain of swords and thrown into a frying pan, and will never be able to stand up again. Therefore, when they are alive, they all respect the Bodhisattva, which is why the temple can maintain its livelihood for a relatively long time.

Even under this loophole, most of the big landowners were polite to the monks when they saw them. They took out a few white and red things from their dogs' mouths and gave them to the monks who came to ask for alms.

The monk could be regarded as having done some good deeds for the Buddhists, and bribed the Buddha one-sidedly, so that the old man would write him off on the list of bad guys.

Therefore, although I can't say that I'm full of food and wine wherever I go, at least my corpse won't be exposed on the streets.

In this kind of stop-and-go, Zhu Chongba went all the way south, first to Hefei, then to Huaiyang, and finally to Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui). With his No. 11 bus, he just walked all the way down

, wherever I go, there is mostly abject poverty. The rich households are rich and poor, and the poor are begging for food.

Although I suffered a lot of glares and sarcasm from others, I also saw the world, expanded my horizons, and gained a lot of knowledge while exercising my body.

At this time, a major event that shocked the whole country quickly spread throughout large areas of Huaixi.

In 1351 AD, Han Shantong and Liu Futong rebelled in Yingzhou.

Rebellion's teaching: White Lotus;

Publicity: Maitreya Buddha is born;

Claims to be: King Ming is born.

He was also the first person to raise the anti-Yuan banner.

We should remember their names. Although their uprising was quickly suppressed by the Yuan army, it did not affect their historical status in the slightest.

If someone takes the initiative, it will be easier to handle.

Shortly after Han Shantong and Liu Futong rebelled, another figure also rose up. His name was: Peng Yingyu (because he had also been a monk, some people called him Monk Peng).

Maybe it’s not easy for us to remember him just by saying this name. Well, he also has another name that is well-known to us, that is: Wu Sanren (from Mr. Jin Yong’s "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", it is one of them, that is, the

I can’t say anything about the bag monk who has a bump on his forehead and a round face. He talks cheerfully to everyone and talks about ghosts and ghosts. He carries a sack every day when he goes out.)

Name: Peng Yingyu;

Sex: Male;

Nationality: Han;

Birthplace of Broke: Yuanzhou (now Yichun, Jiangxi);

Religious belief: White Lotus;

Peng Yingyu's missionary scope is Huaixi, and her missionary name is Maitreya. Because her missionary scope is in the south, she is called the Southern Sect.

And Han Shantong and Liu Futong are called the Northern School.

Because they all have the same political stance and have only one purpose, which is to overthrow the bastards of the Yuan Dynasty and get rid of these bastard rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. So they naturally merged into one, and both promoted the uprising of Maitreya Buddha and King Ming.

The believers of the Yuan Dynasty all wrapped their heads in red scarves to distinguish themselves from the Yuan army.

Because of this, they are also called the Red Scarf Army or the Fragrant Army.

They believed in the White Lotus Sect, also known as the Maitreya Sect, and promoted the birth of King Ming. Later, it gradually evolved into a name, which is the famous: Ming Sect!
