It will only further accumulate contradictions.
The hatred of the grassland people has accumulated from generation to generation, and sooner or later there will be an outbreak.
The Central Plains can't guarantee that it will be in an impeccable and strong state all the time.
Conquer by force.
Domesticated by civilization.
This is the expansion line of a great and civilized empire.
This is also the core reason why Cao Ang supported Zhang Lu's teaching.
In fact, everyone can know from modern history that in the process of the great geographical discoveries of the world and the division of colonies by the Western powers, apart from the army, navigators, and colonists, there is actually a crucial force.
That is missionary.
Never underestimate the power of missionaries.
In the 21st century of another time and space, the reason why the world has formed a world pattern dominated by European and American culture is of course because of the hard power of modern seafaring powers.
But the credit of these missionaries can be said to be indispensable.
Cao Ang took Cao Cao with him.
The two came to Xudu Taoist Temple.
Today is the opening time of the church.
The first teacher Zhang Lu and several disciples and grandchildren are giving lectures to believers who come to the church to worship, learn Taoism, and gain wisdom.
Cao Ang and his son are very low-key.
They didn't bring a whole bunch of escorts.
So that even the people on the scene were not alarmed.
After the two entered the church, they sat down in the last row of the cathedral.
Cao Cao was full of curiosity.
Look around at everything.
Zhang Lu was a national teacher.
The preaching is quite profound.
Therefore, a person with a high cultural level must be able to listen.
Most of the people at the scene were rich businessmen and gentry with a certain cultural foundation, and even some courtiers and officials could be seen. Everyone's face was full of piety, full of strong thirst for knowledge and firm belief.
"It is mentioned in the "Tao Jing". All things originate from Pan Gu's creation."
"In fact, thousands of life on earth have the same root and origin in ancient times. Flowers, grasses, insects, beasts, and humans are originally one, and everything has a spirit!"
"What is Tao? The so-called Tao is the law of all things, the principle of all things, and the law of the operation of all things is natural!"
"Many people often ask themselves, is it meaningful for us humans to live in this world? In the eyes of Taoist ancestors and sages, human beings are like electricity from the wind and rain. They just exist and have no meaning."
"The way of heaven changes, eras are destroyed, dynasties change, birth, old age, sickness and death, our world has been running for hundreds of millions of years under the cover of Tao, and countless species once dominated the world, but eventually disappeared and ceased to exist."
"How humble and insignificant man is in front of nature and time."
at this time.
In the front row, a brawny man with five or three thicknesses stood up.
Ma Teng asked with sincerity and humility: "Master, we are so small in the universe, we are so humble in time, so what should we pursue?"
Zhang Lu nodded in satisfaction.
The former warlord.
Now a devout believer.
This is the charm and power of faith.
Zhang Lu replied with a smile: "Your question is very good. This is exactly the purpose of my teaching establishment and dissemination. We must first pursue personal awareness. Only with true awareness can we let go of our troubles and recognize our own position and harmony with nature. , connection with the universe.”
"Secondly, we need to practice. Only through continuous practice can we gradually get rid of the worldly womb: we will no longer experience the pain of reincarnation, and we will jump out of the Three Realms and enter the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss without being in the five elements."
Almost all of Zhang Lu's sermons are based on the "Tao Jing".
The scientific concepts in Taoism are very advanced.
...
Chapter 265 It's Not Far From That Day
Cao Ang merged the evolution of the universe and the more objective sciences such as biological evolution with the thoughts of various schools of thought into one.
Therefore, the very intuitive feeling is that those who come here to listen to the sermons do not seem to be instilling knowledge, but rather, they are listening to lectures similar to popular science, or lectures on humanistic philosophy.
So, this is also the difference between Protestantism and those partial sects.
After this set, even Cao Cao felt a little different.
After Cao Cao heard it, he felt that the Protestantism taught by Cao Ang could be said to be suitable for all kinds of people.
For some illiterate and illiterate people, this Protestantism can easily make them believe in the reincarnation of heaven and believe that good and evil are rewarded.So they are more willing to actively believe.
Like Cao Cao, those who do not believe in God and those who have knowledge, the church will educate them ideologically and attract their attention.
Only now did Cao Cao realize that his son had done a very great thing!
Although Cao Cao is not as smart as his military adviser Guo Jia, and Zhang Liao is not as capable of leading troops to fight, but Cao Cao is good at controlling the overall situation, which is very outstanding for future development.
He believes that the significance of establishing faith is not inferior to the Confucianism founded by Confucius and Mencius, so the religion founded by Cao Ang will definitely become a big hit, and then he will start to spread the teachings to the outside world crazily.
Cao Ang now holds the church in his hands, so that will be a big power in the future.
With such support, I will become my mainstay no matter what I do in the future.
For this ideological matter, as well as future development, Cao Cao is a little powerless.
He really didn't understand, although Cao Ang was his own son, how could he think of such a method?
After Zhang Lu finished teaching the course, he discovered Cao Ang and Cao Cao, so he stepped forward with some panic and said, "I have neglected my duty. I haven't seen the prime minister and the general. Please punish me!"
