Volume 2: Turbulence, Thousands of Miles South of the Yangtze River Chapter 330: Battle of Jinling (1)
In the main hall, the lights were bright. Two middle-aged men stood under the stage, looking at the gold-plated chairs on the nine-step platform, which was enough to accommodate two people. Two coiled dragons stretched out toward the front along the handles, and a golden dragon hovered under their feet. And on the back, six golden dragons bared their teeth and claws, but it was the dragon chair they brought together.
One of the two men had a bald head, a diamond shovel in his hand, a red cassock on his body, and thirty-six Buddhist beads in his neck. They were none other than Deng Yuanjue, the Tathagata of Precious Light.
The man standing next to him was a little thin. He stood with his hands behind his back and his hands were empty. He was obviously not as tall as Deng Yuanjue beside him. He had faint white hair on his head. This man was none other than Military Advisor Lu Qinghou.
There were twelve people standing on both sides, the six on the right were Wen, headed by Bao Daoyi, Gao Yu, and Lou Minzhong, and the six on the left were Wu, headed by Li Tianding and Shen Zhuo, all of whom were following the Shenggong this time. When people walking out of the southwest saw Ning Buhui and Liu Yun appearing in the main hall, they all bowed their hands towards the two of them, and the two of them walked straight to the front.
Deng Yuanjue and Lu Qinghou looked at each other, smiled slightly, turned around and saw the two of them.
Deng Yuanjue said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is here. Haha, please sit down." He stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. There are eighteen mahogany chairs on each side.
Everyone took their seats. Ning Buhui sat first on the right side. In front of Bao Dao B, Liu Yun sat first on the left side. In front of Li Tianding, Deng Yuanjue and Lu Qinghou had no seats and were just standing.
"Military advisor, you should speak first..." Deng Yuanjue said with a chuckle.
Lu Qinghou walked forward slowly, suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "After Marshal Deng and I entered the city, I taught the disciples not to make any mistakes, and the city of Jinling was in order. In this regard, Marshal Deng and I have the ability to respect everyone here. I trust you very much. I don’t want anything else to go wrong in the future, and neither does Shenggong. Especially in three days, Shenggong will arrive in Jinling and make Jinling his capital. It is this time that Marshal Deng and I came to Jinling. This is the first major event since the rise of our religion, and it is also the first prosperous event since the rise of our religion. You are all outstanding members of the church, and you are also capable people with lofty ideals in leading troops and governing the country. You were not reused in the Xia Dynasty because they looked down upon others. Now that you are in our sect, you can show your talents and accomplish great things."
Every word of Lu Qinghou contains extremely important information. The city is in order and there is no crime in Qiu? Who are you talking about? Which family of the twelve people here has not burned, killed, and looted? Which family is old? Honestly? This is a wake-up call. Don’t betray the trust that the Holy Duke has placed in you. Let’s take the big city of Jinling and see what it has become now.
Three days later, the Holy Duke came to Jinling City. What did he come to do? He came to establish the capital. What is needed to establish the capital? The name of the country? Proclaiming the emperor? In the past, there were wandering generals, but after the founding of the country, what will it be? That is political power. There is no such thing. People like Ning Buhui know better than Ning Buhui that the imperial court has different attitudes towards independent political power and peasant uprisings. Proclaiming the emperor is a clear confrontation, but the uprising is not. If the emperor is proclaimed, will the city of Jinling be taken down so easily? Really? The escape of the defender is at best a flight without a fight. However, if the city was attacked after the founding of the country and the defender fled, it would be treason. Once it rises to a political level, it will have a different result.
We are going to accomplish something shocking and great. What is this great undertaking? What happens after the capital is established and the dynasty is established? The Great Xia Dynasty now has no time to look inward and is empty internally. The Tiance Army, the Huben Army and the Fuguo Army are all at their command.
In addition to the troops defending the capital, the only remaining troops are the 150,000 troops of Ningshan Prefecture and the Ministry of War. Manichaeism is now
It has developed rapidly and has now affected millions of believers. It seems like a lot, but only 20% of them have real combat effectiveness. And even the power of the Ministry of War far exceeds the 20% of the combat effectiveness. After a comparison, once
If the imperial court frees up its hands, will there be another imperial court inside? The answer is ready to come out.
Naturally, these are just Ning Buhui's thoughts. Those who can sit in this palace and listen to Lu Qinghou speak are already senior leaders of Manichaeism. They don't have Ning Buhui's experience, so they don't know the methods of the imperial court.
Except for Bao Daoyi and Lou Minzhong, they all showed excitement, which was what worried her the most.
After Lu Qinghou finished speaking, Deng Yuanjue also called out the Dharma title and said with a smile: "Shenggong proclaims himself emperor, overthrows Daxia, and establishes a dynasty where men and women are equal. It will surely surpass the prosperous Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, the world will return to its heart and regain the land of Hexi.
It’s not difficult.”
Immediately, he saw Bao Daoyi frowning again and asked: "Bao Daoyi, what do you think?"
Bao Dao Yi had a skinny face and a Xuantian sword at his waist. Although he was a civil servant, his skills were not low. He liked the art of organization the most. When he heard Deng Yuanjue calling him, he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "The Holy Duke cares about the world, Dao Yi."
As a minister, I don’t have any opinions, but there is something I don’t know whether to say or not.”
Deng Yuanjue glanced at Lu Qinghou and said: "But it doesn't matter, the military advisor is here too. Five days ago, the military advisor and I were in the Shenggong's room to discuss the big plan. The military advisor can answer the questions by himself."
Lu Qinghou nodded slightly: "Is Dao Yi worried about the founding of the country?"
Bao Dao Yi hurriedly raised his hands and said, "The military advisor has a clever plan. He already knows what Dao Yi is thinking. I wonder if the military advisor has any good ideas?"
However, Lu Qinghou's expression became serious: "I have discussed this matter with Shenggong. Now we need to have a good name as a disciple. Only if the name is correct and the words are correct can we achieve success. We can't go far with just a bit of brute force."
of."
"All institutions must be set up, and appropriate people must be selected to take charge, from the recruitment of soldiers to logistical supplies, from decision-making in the court to the handling of corruption, from rewards for military merit to daily dispatch, all of which are complex and closely linked to the Holy Spirit.
The Duke and the rest of us can't do it, and the Holy Father doesn't have that much energy. What should we do?
To build a country, only by building a country can we legitimately set up yamen and assign official positions. Only then can the follow-up matters be connected in an orderly manner. Everyone should perform their duties. The court will come sooner or later. We must get as much as possible.
Only then can we compete with him." Lu Qinghou told his plan.
Hearing this, Bao Daoyi nodded slightly: "Each has its pros and cons. If the Holy Duke has decided, we should follow it and prepare for relevant matters."
Lu Qinghou nodded slightly, turned to look at Ning Buhui and said, "Master Ning, do you have any opinions?"
Ning Buhui didn't know what Lu Qinghou was asking her for her opinion at this moment, and replied: "I don't have any opinion. Since the Holy Duke and the military advisor have decided, I will take the lead in making swordsmanship, and there will be no hesitation at all."
"Okay, Master Ning is indeed loyal to the Holy Duke, but there is one thing at the moment. I wonder what Master Ning considers?" Deng Yuanjue smiled slightly and walked up with a staff in hand.
Ning Buhui's heart skipped a beat, and he had already thought of what Deng Yuanjue was referring to. Zhang Jian and Shen Zhuo both held official positions as divine generals, and the two had a good personal relationship. Now that Deng Yuanjue knew about this, it meant that the Holy Duke was also It's very possible that he knows about this, but he can't say it openly. He just said: "What's the matter?"
Deng Yuanjue chuckled: "I know that Master Ning and Zhujian Villa are the right-hand men of the Holy Duke, and the old Master is our sworn brother, but the matter is serious, Master Ning should think twice before taking action."
Ning Buhui said: "Whatever it is, Deng Shuai said it. I will naturally do whatever Ning Buhui can do. If I can't do it, I won't be able to do it even if you kill me."
"Don't be so secretive." It was Lu Qinghou who spoke first: "This is about Princess Changping..."
