After the great prosperity of Pure Land Sect, Buddhism completely changed. Originally, Buddhism talked about reincarnation or cause and effect, and ultimately it was all about being uplifting, and the people served were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and emperors and generals. It can be said that there is not much difference from Taoism. However, when Pure Land Sect turns its attention to ordinary people, this thing is too annoying, especially the Pure Land they promote, which is essentially not much different from Christianity.

Moreover, this thing has a strong vitality, which can be said to be a wildfire that cannot be blown away by the spring breeze. In addition, it is often used by ambitious people to incite, which really makes the people in power in the past dynasties very troubled.

However, even such a Pure Land Sect is still useless, just like Christianity. Although it severely suppressed the past of various countries under the medieval period, it played a crucial role in the explosive colonial invasion of Western civilizations in the Age of Discovery.

To put it bluntly, if this thing is controllable, it will be very useful to cut the enemy's head.

Qin Hao continued: "I think that the court can strengthen the management of Buddhism. If you want to get the scriptures, you must go to a foreign land to preach the scriptures for a period of time. Those who educate the people in foreign lands can be called monks. Whether they can be enthroned by national teachers or living Buddhas, it depends on the Buddhist teachings they spread in foreign lands, but the root of Buddhism must remain in our Central Plains."

"The Turks are better. After all, most of them have returned to Xintian Khan, but the most urgent task is Tuyuhun. I heard that after the Hexi Corridor is opened, all larger caravans will have to prepare a toll for Tuyuhun, otherwise they will come to rob them from time to time. The terrain of the place is too high, and there are Gobi deserts everywhere. Our soldiers in the Central Plains will feel dizzy if they do nothing. I think that using troops in this place is a way of using Buddha. The effect of using troops is ten times more than using troops."

Li Shimin became even more interested after hearing this. He didn't think Qin Hao was talking about military affairs on paper. Not to mention the strategies and tactics involved in the Three Kingdoms, he just said that he suggested Chai Shao to Chen Jian and Xue Yantuo to make a plan. This shows that this kid's vision is so accurate that he is a soldier. How could he not know that the broken place in Tuyuhun was not attacked by humans at all? If it weren't for the advantage of the territory, the small broken place would have been grinning all day long, and Li Shimin would have killed him long ago.

In history, it took only a few years for Li Shimin to be dissatisfied with Tuyuhun's lip service. Although the Tang Dynasty did not have the term Silk Road, the Hexi Corridor was undoubtedly the lifeblood of the court. There was such a jumping clown who jumped around all day and could not stand it. So he sent Li Jing and Hou Junji, and after a lot of hardships, he finally destroyed the place.

What happened? Tuyuhun became honest and came out with a man named Tubo. He took advantage of Tuyuhun being destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and unified the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Tang Dynasty no longer had the ability to fight on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. From then on, a two hundred years of war was started. It was called the Hundred Years of War between the Tang and Tubo in world history.

"I think that all the sects and sects of Buddhism can be ordered to all the sects of Buddhism to Tuyuhun. Anyone who spreads Buddhism to more than three tribes will be enthroned as living Buddhas by the court, and the secret spies of my Fengyan sect disguised as Buddhists and infiltrated them. The religious soil of grassland civilization is far more fertile than the agricultural civilization. It is not difficult to make the living Buddhas above the tribe leaders. Now all the sects of Buddhism express their opinions and their doctrines and concepts are different. If there is no official uniform above them, there will be many conflicts between the living Buddhas. My secret spies will instigate again, and those brainless barbarians will not fight? When the Buddhist thoughts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I am afraid that no one will be able to attack the unified Qinghai-Tibet Plateau again. At that time, whoever is obedient will support who will ask for money and soldiers. It won't take long to go, Tuyuhun's surname will be Tang."

These are not nonsense, because his method was basically learned by Kangxi.

There was once a topic on the Internet to evaluate who is the greatest emperor in history, and one of the most important arguments among the Qing fans was that Kangxi ruled the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a hard bone that was unable to conquer the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years but instead kowtowed.

This is really a bit over Kangxi. Kangxi actually just picked up the fruits of Li Shimin's victory, because when Li Shimin married his daughter, he also married Buddhism. At that time, Songtsen Gampo had two wives, one was Princess Wencheng, who brought the Pure Land Sect and the Faxiang Sect, and the other was from Nepal, who brought the original Indian Buddhism. As soon as everyone combined, they had today's Tibetan Buddhism.

The Tubo warriors who once failed the world's largest empires, the Tang Dynasty and Dashi, were powerless, were not so defeated by Kangxi, but rather by Buddhism. It was through the enthronement of the Living Buddha and the Panchen Lama that the Qing Dynasty finally conquered that high land.

The method that Kangxi could use, did the Tang Dynasty not have the soil to use? Taking advantage of the fact that there are two completely different ethnic groups on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, taking advantage of the reputation of Tian Khan is enough to make foreign races admire and fear, and taking advantage of the fact that China is the strongest in five thousand years, this real confidant problem is to be beaten! Net! Fight!

Li Shimin is undoubtedly a master of spy warfare and is very interested in Qin Hao's proposal. After discussing many details, the two finally decided to do it and give it a try. Those monks really dare to die for the title of Living Buddha.

This strategy is not only applicable to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but also to the Turks. As long as it is a nomadic people, its resistance to religion is far lower than that of farming civilization, because their court is too far away from the people and they live in their own lives on weekdays. It is not like the Central Plains, where there are prefectures, county magistrates and civilians, and no matter how great the gods are, they are not as great as the emperor.

In fact, the Western Regions originally had Buddhist culture. Once upon a time, Buddhism spread faster than that of Tubo. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty was unable to achieve national strength and its ability to manage the Western Regions became lower and lower. Instead, the latecomers of the Great Food came from the top and eventually became the actual controller of that area. Therefore, all the people in the Western Regions became ***.

Now that the Turks are newly surrendered, they are just the time when they dare not resist with a whip. Is there any soil that is more suitable for experiments than this?

So Li Shimin asked, "I understand what you mean, but who should I enthrone this national master? Is Master Hongren who has made great contributions to offering saint flowers?"

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Master Hongren is just preaching in our Central Plains after all, which is not suitable. I know that a great master has a high status in Buddhism and is going to India to learn scriptures and promote Buddhism along the way, which is very representative. And at this time, others should be in the Western Regions. I think he is more suitable."

"Oh? Are you talking about Master Xuanzang, who is known as the first genius of Buddhism in a thousand years?"

“That’s right.”
