Everyone in Li Zicheng is familiar with this. In order to win the support of the people, it is put forward that "equal level, free of food". The policy of "all fields are free of food" and so on. There is a saying that when the King Chuang came, there was no food, so the people followed. Even many counties and counties were looking forward to the night and were looking forward to the King Chuang's early liberation. Li Zicheng's personality, more or less has the meaning of doing justice for heaven and pleading for the people. Zhang, another great anti-thief with the same fame as him, is a murderous demon.
Both Zhang and Li Zicheng were born in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be a great fate. And both of them had business trips before the uprising. Li Zicheng is Daming's post station, and Zhang is Aauto Quicker. Even more surprising, these two places were both called assault fields under the leadership of Gao Yingxiang after the uprising.
On the other hand, their regime responded in the north of Shinabi. For various reasons, after they split up, Zhang led the troops to attack the Yangtze River valley and Li Zicheng led the troops to attack the Yellow River valley.
Both Zhang and Li Zicheng are very good fighters, but they both failed in the end because they were "too brave". Unable to defeat the Eight Banners of the Qing army, we had to give up Chengdu and retreat, but on the way back, I didn't believe the scouts reported that the Qing army had caught up. Later, I personally took a few followers out of the camp to observe. In an unprepared battle, I met the Qing army on a narrow path, got an arrow in my left chest, fell off my horse and died. It is written in the history book: "The arrow goes right under the shoulder, enters from the left, goes straight through its heart, suddenly falls to the ground, and blood flows forever. Dedication is extremely painful to die. "
In order to establish his prestige, he never leaves a chicken or a dog wherever he goes. The book "Shunan" wrote: "After killing the city for three days, you are exhausted, except those who hide in the camp." Because of this evil deed, Sichuan people are full of resentment against Zhang and his army, but there is nothing they can do.
Zhang happened to pass by this temple when he was preparing for the massacre. As we all know, a monk can't eat meat if he wants to become a Buddha. You can't eat meat because the rules and regulations are clear. And Zhang must enjoy it. Monks don't eat meat, so they use the lives of the people in the city as a threat.
After arriving at Zhangsi Temple, I prepared a rich table of wine and meat for the soldiers, and then I went to the monks and said, "Everyone says that family members are merciful, and saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. In that case, if you eat this table of wine and meat, I won't kill the city. If you don't eat, no one will stay. "
For monks, rules and regulations can never be broken, but the reality is in front of us. If you don't eat meat, you can't save the whole city. It's really hard to make a contradictory choice. Zhang just wants to see what monks should do.
So the monks ate meat and drank wine. Don't forget to say ten words calmly: "wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention." I have to admire the courage and wisdom of monks. There is also this famous saying in Biography of the Duke of Ji, but it is just a fabricated novel. The author also applies the touching part of this story to Ji Gong.
