When the Song Dynasty perished, some people wanted to make a fortune while the country was in trouble and needed a name, so many people really joined in under the banner of White Lotus Sect. When the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty saw that they were going to rebel, they wiped out the White Lotus Sect with a piece of imperial edict. I heard that they were going to destroy us, and the White Lotus Sect began to resist. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers suppressed the people with cruel punishments and taxes. Seeing that they have worked hard to support themselves all the year round, farmers put down their hoes and began to rebel.
Zhu Yuanzhang also joined the insurgents. It is worth mentioning that his former boss was the son of the leader of the Ambry Sect. However, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he ignored the old leader and directly ordered the extermination of the White Lotus Sect. Of course, the White Lotus Sect is not so easy to overthrow. They have absorbed the benefits of many religions for a long time and gradually formed a theory of learning from others. White Lotus Sect includes three religions and nine streams, and court officials down to pawns are all their people. At this time, the White Lotus Sect is already very difficult to deal with.
With the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the continuation of the Qing Dynasty, Bailian Sect played the slogan of anti-Qing and regaining sight. However, in the early Qing Dynasty, because of the wisdom of the rulers, the White Lotus Sect failed to make a fuss until Jiaqing. Jiaqing organized the imperial army to fight against Bailian religion. The war made the White Lotus Sect lose its vitality, the main leaders died, and the White Lotus Sect gradually disappeared.
