Preaching at Zhangjiao

Author: Magic Prince

Preaching at Zhangjiao

Xiang Yu in his previous life was after Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State. Although the Chu State was destroyed by the Qin State, he was educated and trained by his uncle Xiang Liang when he was young. Later, when they rebelled against Qin, the aristocrats of the Chu State

Their status still provides them with a lot of prestige, allowing them to gain considerable convenience in their interactions with local gentry and in raising the banner of righteousness. It can be said that without these conditions of origin

, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu will definitely not be so easy to raise armies, their development will not be so rapid, and it will be even more difficult to gain support from other Chu forces.

In fact, in order to completely unite the remaining old forces of Chu State at that time, Xiang Liang also found the descendants of King Huai of Chu, supported him as the new King of Chu Huai, and used the reputation of King Huai of Chu to unite other princes to form an anti-Qin army.

Alliance, on the other hand, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were mainly farmers, although they developed rapidly in the early stage, dealt a heavy blow to the Qin Dynasty, and even once invaded Hangu Pass and approached Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty.

However, they were later defeated by the army of prisoners temporarily formed by Zhang Han, and the offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed. While Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's troops were retreating steadily, other princes and kings who had raised troops to rebel against Qin all stood aside and watched.

, unwilling to give Chen Sheng and Wu Guang substantial military support. Most of these princes and kings who raised armies were the remaining aristocratic forces of the Six Kingdoms. Qin Shihuang did not rule the world for a long time. When Qin Shihuang died, the world was in chaos. In a short period of time,

For decades, they have been secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity to rise again.

Although the Qin Dynasty is their common number one enemy, they have complicated interests among themselves. Compared with the peasant uprising army, they prefer to separate one side to strengthen their own power instead of uniting to attack the Qin Dynasty.

, if Zhang Han hadn't crushed the peasant uprising army later and gradually threatened their safety, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to unite to fight against the Qin Dynasty.

This has actually fully demonstrated that the political stance and demands of the peasant class and the aristocratic bureaucratic class are quite different. The primary purpose of the peasant uprising is to solve their own survival problems. They have nothing and are forced to have almost nothing but rebellion.

They have no way to survive, and the superior living conditions of those in the aristocracy and bureaucratic class are based on the brutal exploitation and rule of the peasant class. They are unwilling and impossible to change the past pattern of rule and exploitation.

For them, the war between them is just to compete for more and better opportunities to rule. No matter who in the world, these states and counties end up in the hands of, it is essentially a battle within the aristocratic bureaucratic class, and

As a class that is naturally in opposition to these exploiting classes, the peasant class' original goal of the uprising should be to overthrow this exploitative relationship, but often in the end their actual uprising goal will change.

If the peasant uprising army wins, they will not be able to build a better world as their leaders initially promised. Whether it is the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising, the Yellow Turban Uprising, or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations, when some farmers have

After they get the opportunity to become the new rulers and exploiting class, they will naturally become separated and opposed to the peasant class where they originally belonged. This is also the reason why the peasant uprising will definitely fail in the end, because their political demands are always

It is not clear that no matter how large the scale of their uprising is, it will naturally begin to collapse from within.

As a former nobleman, even after four hundred years of vicissitudes and changes, even though he is now reborn as a white man, he still retains that arrogance in his bones, and it is difficult for him to truly integrate into these peasants.

Go in.

During this period of time, Xiang Yu also tried to understand and integrate into these farmers, but their ignorance and backwardness made it difficult for Xiang Yu to establish the most basic trust and communication with them. Xiang Yu himself had a bad temper.

, I simply don’t have the patience to make friends with these farmers.

And Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Road, did not make Xiang Yu think that he was really a person. Little tricks like drawing talismans and chanting curses might be able to deceive the farmers, but they could not deceive Xiang Yu.

On this day, Zhang Jiao gathered a large number of believers in one place. Zhang Jiao preached to them. He said that Huang Tian was the greatest god. As long as they followed him and believed in Huang Tian, ​​it would be able to help believers relieve their pain, and the more religious they would be.

The more power a person can acquire.

Zhang Jiao personally drew the talisman paper, then burned it and mixed it with rootless water, and asked the sick believers to drink it while chanting the curse. Some believers' conditions were really relieved after drinking the talisman water. Zhang Jiao

He attributed it to the efficacy of the talisman paper he drew. If someone's condition did not improve or even worsened after drinking the talisman water, Zhang Jiao said it was because they were not pious enough in their hearts and did not believe in it wholeheartedly.

Huang Tian.

This kind of activity lasted from sunrise to sunset. Zhang Jiao danced on the stage and recited some incomprehensible mantras from time to time. The believers around him did not know that they really knew the meaning of the mantras they recited.

, or just imitate Zhang Jiao and recite these incantations.

Xiang Yu separated from the crowd and walked to a place very close to Zhang Jue. He looked at Zhang Jue quietly with a strange look in his eyes, unlike the believers around him who followed Zhang Jue and chanted incantations or prayed to Huang Tian for protection.

His words and his strange behavior soon attracted Zhang Jiao's attention.

Zhang Jiao temporarily put down the nine-section staff he was waving in his hand. He pointed at Xiang Yu and motioned for him to come to him. However, Xiang Yu did not react as if he had not seen him. At this time, the believers around Xiang Yu

They also stopped chanting and turned their gazes to Xiang Yu. They consciously made way for Xiang Yu.

"Little brother, I see that your forehead is darkened and your brows are cramped. I think you have some physical problems or you have encountered something unclean. Please come up and let me examine you carefully."

Zhang Jiao said with a smile on his face, as if he really was a heavenly master who came down from heaven and only wanted to save people in need.

Xiang Yu looked at the believers around him, snorted coldly, and walked towards Zhang Jiao. "So what kind of disease does the Heavenly Master think I have, and how do I need to be treated?"

Zhang Jiao was slightly startled after hearing this, not because of what Xiang Yu said, but because of the way Xiang Yu looked at him. Those seemingly ordinary eyes seemed to be burning with some kind of flame. He felt that he

It seems that I have seen this look somewhere before, but for a moment I can't remember where it was.

"Physical illnesses are secondary, and treating mental illnesses is the first priority. Once the mental illnesses are cured, other illnesses will naturally be solved. However, if you want to cure mental illnesses, you still need to let go of your obsessions and remember Huang Tian's kindness more in your heart." Zhang Jiaolu said.

He said while stroking his beard.

"I have been reciting Huang Tian's kindness so much, and I don't know what kind of kindness Huang Tian has given you and me. What should we do to live up to Huang Tian's kindness? Could it be that just drawing a spell and reciting the so-called spell can cure serious illness?

Disease?" Xiang Yu asked in a rather fierce tone.

"As the saying goes, sincerity leads to spiritual success. Only those who always have the virtue of Huang Tian in their hearts can obtain Huang Tian's protection. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people around you if they have any faith after devoutly believing in Huang Tian.

With Huang Tian's protection, will their illnesses be relieved, will their pain be alleviated, and will they be able to feel hope again in their hearts?" Zhang Jiao waved the nine-section staff in his hand and began to draw in mid-air.

There was some kind of symbol on it. When the believers around him saw Zhang Jiao like this, they all knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"The sky is about to fade, but the yellow sky is above, helping all living beings, and the world will be prosperous!" Some believers began to chant one after another, and their voices became louder and louder.

Zhang Jiao stopped waving the nine-section staff in his hand, signaled everyone to stop chanting temporarily, and looked closely at Xiang Yu. "Do you know Huang Tian? Huang Tian is everywhere, Huang Tian is omnipotent, as long as this world

Most of the people are willing to trust Huang Tian, ​​and I can lead you to build a peaceful world, an peaceful and prosperous age without disaster, illness, oppression, or hatred. I see that your appearance is not that of a mortal. If you are willing to follow me

Serve Huang Tian together, and you will become a great person in the future!"

"It's true that I want to become a great person, but I don't believe the Heavenly Master's so-called protection from Huang Tian. Thank you for your kindness. I have other important matters today. It won't be too late to discuss them in detail another day." Xiang Yu replied.

The corners of Zhang Jiao's mouth trembled slightly. Originally, Xiang Yu rejected him directly in front of so many believers, which made him a little embarrassed. However, after thinking about it for a while, a smile appeared on his face again. "Since little brother has something to do today.

, it is not convenient for this Heavenly Master to force you to stay, if we can talk about it someday, I will let my little brother see the power of Huang Tian."

Xiang Yu bowed his head, turned around and left under the gaze of many believers.

After a while, many believers once again started chanting incantations under the leadership of Zhang Jiao, and the momentum was even louder than before.
