Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 696 How to govern
  Although the words of these three sects, except Islam, were quite polite, Zhu Su did not forget that each of them came with people. Although those people outside the city now claim to be just believers who came with them, Zhu Su believes that their original intention was probably to assist the Sultan. It was only the victory of the Ming army that came too quickly that forced them to change their attitude. .

  Even so, they must be thinking about it. If both he and the Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate were to suffer losses, these three factions would definitely take advantage of the situation and try to grab chestnuts from the fire.

  Most of the countries in Shendu unite politics and religion, and the religious priests of a place are often the de facto governors and ministers of the place. However, there are many religions mixed together, and they are constantly competing with each other, all trying to dominate this land. Now that I saw that the Ming army had been on guard for a long time and had achieved such shocking results in one battle, they did not dare to act rashly and instead chose to persuade them to join them...

  "Your Highness, the national conditions are no better than those of China. The people here are superstitious about gods and have gone crazy." After the three groups of people left, Huang Guan hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to speak.

  "If you want to gain a foothold here as soon as possible, you must rely on the power of the sect. Please think twice, Your Highness."

  Everyone's eyes are also looking at Zhu Su. Zhu Su actually knows that the poisonous class is corrupt and has experienced wars. Reasons such as righteousness cannot win the hearts of the people at all, and they can only rely on the power of religion.

  "Which sect do you think this king should choose?" Zhu Su asked.

  "Students think that Buddhism is elected." Huang Guan had already thought about this problem, so he talked without any hesitation. "For one thing, the eminent monk Zendaya has been to our land of China and is proficient in Chinese. He must be closer to our Central Plains culture than people from other sects."

  "Secondly, Buddhism and China are also related to each other. We have some understanding of Buddhism, but the Heavenly Sect and Brahmanism are..."

  Huang Guan said, with a look of unacceptable expression on his face. Also, the Islamic teachings of the Tianfang Sect are completely different from the culture of the Central Plains of China, and its extremely exclusive teachings also seem a little extreme to the Chinese literati who advocate the golden mean.

  As for Brahmanism, it is even more weird. It often uses weird and twisted images as its gods. In the eyes of people in the Central Plains, it looks like evil heretics, so it is naturally not liked by Huang Guan.

  Everyone also agreed with Huang Guan's statement. That day the envoy of Tianfang Sect uttered arrogant words. If His Highness hadn't seen that he didn't feel dissatisfied just now, he should have beheaded the envoy of Tianfang Sect and abandoned it. The other Brahmin, who was wearing a red robe and looked evil, did not look like a good person at first glance.

  It’s better to be the last monk. Although the monks from this poisonous place are dark and thin, no matter what, they are worshipers of Buddha just like the monks from the Central Plains. Buddha can be regarded as the god of the Central Plains. Since we have to choose a god, naturally it is safest to choose the gods of the Central Plains like us.

  Seeing that the choice of Buddhism was the general trend, everyone's eyes were eagerly waiting for Zhu Su to make the final decision.

  However, Zhu Su was still thinking, and after a while, he shook his head slightly.

  "Monk Nachantaya seems to be polite, but deep down in his heart, he may not have any good intentions."

  "Don't forget that he also brought people with him. Whose eminent monk can travel and travel with so many 'believers' following him? If we hadn't already defeated the Delhi Sultanate, I'm afraid this Master will not come to try to get close to me or talk about my relationship with China."

  Zhu Su stood up, paced, and looked at the blue sky outside the hall.

  "This place is indeed not comparable to my Ming Dynasty, but in fact, you still ignore the cruelty of wars between religions."

  "The former state religion of the Delhi Sultanate was the Tianfang Sect. Why do the envoys of the Tianfang Sect dare to be so domineering? It is because the Tianfang Sect is the most powerful and arrogant in this poisonous place. They think in their hearts that I, the Ming Dynasty, want to To gain a foothold here, we must borrow the power of their Tianfang Sect, so we dare to speak arrogant words here."

  "The reason why Buddhism is so close to us is precisely because their power here is too weak, and they urgently need to rely on our victory to spread Buddhism to them." "And the religious wars here have always been fierce. If we and others If we respect Buddhism, I believe that Tianfang Sect, Brahmanism, and even other sects will regard us as unbelievers and heretics."

  "Although we are in Delhi, if various sects attack us in groups, I am afraid that within a short period of time, we will also be in dire straits."

  "Let alone go north to support Thirst Rock City."

  Zhu Su said. What he said was not alarmist. Although the poisoned soldiers were not strong, those who were confused by religion were always the most fanatical.

  In Central Asia, Shendu, and Europe, religious wars have always been the most fanatical, and various "holy wars" emerge in endlessly. If Zhu Su insists on advocating Buddhism, those Muslims of Tianfang Sect may label Zhu Su as "the enemy of the True Ancestor" and then attack him in groups.

  "It's actually like this..." Huang Guanmu was surprised. He originally thought that he was familiar with the language of Shendu these days, and after asking many nobles and people in the city, he already had a certain understanding of the situation of Shendu. Unexpectedly, my knowledge is still shallow.

  Far inferior to the far-sighted His Highness the King of Zhou.

  "So, we should continue to worship Tianfang Sect like the Delhi Sultanate?"

  Cao Yuan's tone was quite unfair. The messenger from the Fang Sect that day had an unruly tone and spoke rudely. If it were normal, it would not be an exaggeration to kill them directly. Do they still treat them as guests?

  Not only Cao Yuan, but other generals also had angry expressions on their faces. That man is so arrogant. Most of these generals are arrogant and arrogant. Who would be willing to break the rules?

  "Tianfang Sect... is not appropriate either." Zhu Su shook his head again.

  "It would be better to say that the previous old system of poisoning various countries is not appropriate. According to the old system here, the king's power is lower than the power of the god, and one place is under the jurisdiction, so one has to convert to the local sect. Are we all supposed to convert to the Tianfang Sect?"

  "How can it be done?" A general shouted immediately.

  "Could it be that we, the Chinese men, have come all the way here to serve these Lao Shi Zi Fan Cult?"

  As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately supported by most people. The crowd was agitated for a while, and some people even proposed to kill all the envoys of these sects and use the Han system to rule the city.

  This is obviously an immature idea, but it is indeed not in the interests of Ming Dynasty to continue to use the old system of body poison.

  Zhu Su had already thought of a way. He smiled slightly and gave some advice.
