The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, which the Han people had longed for for two hundred years, were all recovered.
The entire city turned out to welcome the King of Liang back in triumph.
When Zhao Yuan terrified Yelü Yanxi, he fled in panic.
Wanyan Aguda also led the Jin dynasty's barbarians in a brutal suppression of the rebellious tribes in Zhongjing Road.
Xiao Gan was captured alive by Wanyan Zhamu.
He was nailed to a wooden donkey and died from the constant jolting.
After Yelü Yanxi arrived at the Northwest Route Pacification Headquarters,
Taking advantage of the remaining power of the Liao Dynasty,
They began conquering the various regions of Shangjing Road.
He wanted to truly bring all the tribes under his rule.
The Three Kingdoms period entered a brief period of peace.
...
In December, people in Lulianzhou, Guangdong Province, contracted smallpox.
The imperial court ordered the epidemic prevention bureaus of all prefectures and counties in Guangdong to support Lianzhou.
Vaccinate all the people of Lianzhou with smallpox.
To prevent smallpox from spreading in Lianzhou.
After Zhao Yuan's invention of smallpox vaccination proved effective,
Zhao Yuan then ordered the establishment of epidemic prevention bureaus in each prefecture.
Artificially spreading cowpox and cultivating smallpox vaccine.
At the same time, smallpox vaccination was performed on the people.
However, due to limitations in doctors and smallpox vaccines,
Not everyone gets infected with acne.
There are more water buffaloes in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Everyone originally thought that after Guangdong Road transferred doctors from nearby prefectures,
It can quickly inoculate all the people of Lianzhou with smallpox to prevent smallpox.
However, people in several villages refused to be vaccinated.
This resulted in more than 5,000 people contracting smallpox.
Not long after,
More than two thousand people died.
Zhao Yuan ordered local censors to launch an investigation.
It was eventually discovered that a monk had been bewitching the people.
After being vaccinated with cowpox,
I will be reborn as a cow in my next life.
This led many people to choose death over vaccination.
Wen Huanzhang learned that it was actually the monk who had committed the sins.
They immediately went to the palace.
Zhao Yuan had just received the news, and his face was ashen.
Upon seeing Wen Huanzhang enter the palace, he couldn't help but say,
“That’s absolutely ridiculous,”
"If getting a smallpox vaccination meant you'd be reborn as a cow,"
"The person who ate the beef,"
"What do I want to be in my next life, cow dung?"
Wen Huanzhang nodded and said, "Those religious heresies are misleading the public."
"They often use talismans to cure diseases,"
"The number of civilians killed is countless."
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that all religions be banned."
"To prevent a repeat of today's calamity."
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"We discussed this matter before,"
"It's just that the time wasn't right then."
"Now the world is unified,"
"The imperial court's rule is now secure,"
"It's time to put this into practice."
Chapter 1567 Keep the commotion going!
Zhao Yuan then spoke to the eunuch serving beside him,
"Go and invite the other five ministers."
"yes.".
The eunuch left not long ago,
The five ministers arrived one after another.
After some discussion,
Therefore, a law was established to prohibit all religions.
Destroy all religious buildings and scriptures; confiscate all religious property;
Ordering religious figures to leave their religion;
Those who spread the doctrines shall be killed without mercy.
Anyone who harbors or gives alms to religious figures will be punished with one hundred strokes of the cane and exiled three thousand li away.
The 17th day of the first month of the third year of the Tianqi reign (1623)
The imperial court issued regulations prohibiting all religions.
Soldiers and officers from all prefectures were mobilized simultaneously.
Destroyed religious buildings such as temples and Taoist monasteries within the territory.
They ordered religious figures to return to serving the people.
At the same time, religious property was confiscated.
Many temples and Taoist monasteries in Tokyo were not spared either.
The imperial decree had just been issued,
The soldiers in the city then surrounded these religious buildings.
Everyone was expelled and ordered to return to their hometowns.
The imperial court gave each person one string of cash for travel expenses.
The money wasn't much.
But they won't starve to death.
Nursing homes and charitable institutions have expanded from the prefectural capital to all counties.
The practice of awarding titles and ranks through bribery and the establishment of the mirror-making industry enriched the imperial treasury.
In addition, the country had a bumper harvest in the second year of the Tianqi reign.
The expansion of nursing homes and charitable institutions by the imperial court did not put too much pressure on the treasury.
Some monks and Taoist priests, who claimed to be living bodhisattvas or deities, went to the palace to request an audience with the emperor.
They were all dispersed by the Imperial Guards.
They were ordered to return to secular life; those who refused were to be executed without mercy.
Most of the monks and Taoists dispersed when they saw that Zhao Yuan was determined.
Only some deluded monks and Taoist priests are prepared to sacrifice themselves for gods and Buddhas.
They were all captured by the Imperial Guards.
They were taken to Caishikou and executed.
After killing more than a dozen monks and Taoist priests,
No one dared to protest in front of the palace anymore.
Apart from a few ordinary citizens who spoke out for the monks and Taoists in Bianjing,
Most people felt that the imperial court was doing a good job.
Since the imperial court established the national policy of eradicating all religious sects,
The official gazette continuously published articles about religious deception and magic tricks.
Many people have been deceived by religious swindlers.
After the imperial court exposed those deceptive tricks...
Most people then stopped believing in those gods and Buddhas.
If there really is a god in Daliang.
That could only be the King of Liang.
They were invincible and invented the smallpox vaccine.
So that people no longer have to fear acne.
It can even make people fly.
Although those gods and Buddhas are said to be omnipotent,
But then the pimples appeared.
His followers, too, could not escape the disease.
Even the most devout
No gods or Buddhas have appeared.
The situation is largely the same in different places.
After the imperial gazette exposed the deceptive tricks of religion for a long time,
The number of religious believers has decreased.
The remaining few believers, under the military intimidation of the imperial court,
No one dared to harbor any disloyal thoughts.
Some single-minded monks and Taoists believed that there was no place for religion in Daliang.
He then went to another country.
They went off to start their own businesses.
A month later, the imperial court compiled a summary of the results of the suppression of Christianity in various prefectures and counties.
Nearly one million households have been registered across various regions.
More than ten million hectares of farmland were confiscated.
