Chapter 1355 The threat emerges

A raging fire swept through thousands of tents. Tens of thousands of people hid in corners. Many women covered their mouths and shed tears. The men were silent and watched helplessly as their homes were burned down.

More than a dozen elders surrounded Chief Imoh and asked him why his home was burned. Imoh lowered his head and refused.

But the burning of the home was just the beginning. At this moment, dozens of arrows shot in from the outside and exploded when they hit the ground.

The Tang army began to use exploding arrows, which were old-style exploding arrows that exploded when they landed. The arrows fell high and exploded when they landed. The people in Shiwei were frightened. Everyone prostrated on the ground and kowtowed to the sky desperately.

Imohe almost collapsed. He knelt on the ground, covered his head and looked at the exploding arrows falling from the sky, shouting in despair.

An elder grabbed his chest and shouted, "You idiot, who did you provoke? Do you want the entire clan to be buried with you?"

Imohe couldn't hold it anymore. He stood up suddenly and strode towards Yelu Salade who was standing in the corner. He said in a hoarse voice: "We can't afford to offend the Tang Dynasty. I'm sorry, I can only hand you over."

go out?"

Yelu Salade said calmly: "Prepare a few small boats and let us enter the river, and we will leave on our own!"

"no!"

Imohhe shook his head decisively, "If you run away, the Tang army will definitely vent their anger on us."

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Yelu Salade suddenly pulled out his sword, and pierced Imoh's chest with the sword. Imoh screamed, covered his chest, took two steps back, and fell to the ground dead.

Yelu Salad yelled, "Kill me!"

Yelu Salad's soldiers drew their knives and hacked at the people around them. Screams and cries broke out all over the place. Men, women, and children stumbled around in fright, screamed, and ran away in all directions.

Yelu Salad and his soldiers killed more than a thousand people in one go, and then opened the gate of the village behind. Outside was the river, with dozens of rafts stopped.

More than a hundred people got on more than 20 rafts and rowed into the river. There was a large river more than 20 miles away, which was the Nen River. As long as the fleet entered the Nen River, they would be safe.

But not long after they came out, they were discovered by Tang army scouts who were ambushing around them, and a bright rocket shot into the sky.

Zhang Dian led five hundred men in pursuit and soon blocked Yelu Salade and his soldiers in a river more than ten feet wide.

More than a hundred soldiers rowed desperately in an attempt to get rid of the Tang army. Yelu Salade even held a spear in his hand, preparing to fight to the death with the Tang army.

"Fire the arrow!"

Zhang Dian gave an order, and five hundred cavalrymen fired arrows together. The soldiers were hit by arrows and fell into the water one after another. Yelu Salade was hit by dozens of arrows and fell into the water with a scream. After several rounds of arrows, there was no one on the twenty-odd rafts.

The Tang army immediately launched a rifle fire, killing all the wounded and surviving soldiers.

Then the salvage started, and not long after, Yelu Salade's body was fished out.

Zhang Dian breathed a long sigh of relief, cut off his head and put it into a milk wine bag. Then everyone got on their horses, replenished food at the Shiwei Department, and rode towards the south.

Chang'an is already full of autumn in September, the leaves are beginning to fall quietly, and the weather is getting colder in the morning and evening, making it a bit more bleak.

In Chang'an, in the Political Affairs Hall of the Daming Palace, at Li Ye's request, Li Chenghua specifically told the Political Affairs Hall about the preliminary investigation report of the Internal Guard on the Holy Women's Society.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, the internal guards have conducted a detailed investigation for more than a month and have roughly grasped the infiltration of the Saintess Society in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chenghua asked someone to hang up a map. Taking advantage of the opportunity to hang up the map, Li Chenghua added: "Let me briefly introduce the Holy Women's Society to you first. The Holy Women's Society is part of Zoroastrianism. It is in charge of missionary work to women. The headquarters

In the Great Guangming Temple in Samarkand, half of the Great Guangming Temple belongs to the Order of Saints.

The top level of the Saints' Association is the Presbyterian Council, with ten elders, followed by the Gold Saints and two Silver Saints, who are princesses from various small countries. Below that are dozens of Saints from various countries, who command thousands of women.

Priests and female warriors, their previous main occupation was preaching, and there was not a single man in the Order of Saints.

But ten years ago, a major change occurred in the Saintess Society. The cause was that Saint Geluolu Jinshanling became the Golden Saint. She launched a coup and killed all the female elders. The two Silver Saints were also her confidants.

She has firm control over the Order of Saints.

Then the Holy Women's Society began to expand. Not only did they preach, but they also monopolized trade and gold and silver mines. They also owned a large number of wheat fields and half of the water sources. Soon, Jinshanling controlled the Daming Temple and was called the Saint of Light. A large number of male priests also became

of her men.

Under her leadership, the Holy Sisters began to have an army. According to our inference, there were about 50,000 people, and they were involved in politics. The kings of the Shi Kingdom, the Bakhna Kingdom, and the Xiaoshi Kingdom were all served by the Princess Saint. The other Sogdians

All countries are basically controlled by the Illuminati."

At this time, the map was hung up. Li Chenghua picked up the wooden pole and said: "Now let me talk about the Saintess Society's infiltration into the Tang Dynasty. The Saintess Society has been in contact with the Tang Dynasty as early as the Wu Zetian era. Emperor Zetian's influence on

The Saintess Society was quite appreciative, but appreciation was appreciation. Emperor Zetian was very principled and did not approve them to preach in the Tang Dynasty.

It was not until the early years of Tianbao that as the Geluolu people began to believe in Zoroastrianism and they sent the princess to Daguangming Temple, the Holy Girl Society began to expand to the east, but it was all on the periphery of the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Holy Girl Society helped Anlu Mountain become a

After becoming the Eastern leader of Zoroastrianism, An Lushan began to allow the Holy Sisters to preach in Youzhou in return.

During this period, one of An Lushan's daughters, An Jia, became a saint. Now she is the confidant of Jinshan Ling and serves as the silver saint. Five years ago, she took over the female slave trade. Tens of thousands of girls in the Tang Dynasty were sold out, and she was finally

In their hands, they established the Dongfang Camp to specialize in training girls of the Tang Dynasty. There are now more than 300 female missionaries in the Dongfang Camp. They are all girls who were sold during the early Kaiyuan period. Now they have grown up and have become accomplices of the Saint Sisters.

Starting from the year before last, Anga led more than 300 female priests to preach in the Tang Dynasty. Starting from the Sogdians in Helong, a large number of Sogdian women have joined the Order of Saints. So far, the number is close to 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand!" everyone exclaimed.

Wei Jiansu asked hurriedly: "Li Dutong, are all the 200,000 members of the Saint Women's Society Sogdians?"

Li Chenghua shook his head, "Han women account for half of the 200,000, and this is just an estimate. There may be more. Take a look at this distribution map!"

Wei Jiansu looked ugly, waved his hands and said, "Li Dutong, please continue!"

Li Chenghua pointed at the wall map with a wooden pole and said: "This is the distribution of the Saints' Society in various Dao. It is currently in Helong Dao, Guannai Dao, Jiannan Dao, Shannan West Dao, Hebei Dao, Guanzhong Dao, and Chang'an and Luoyang.

Appeared."

Liu Yan asked: "How did they preach?"

Li Chenghua nodded, "The Holy Women's Association has strong financial resources. They bought City God's Temples in many remote small counties and slightly modified them. They covered the Gods in the City God's Temple with yellow cloth and replaced them with their flame and iron ring Three Holy Swords logos.

, and then mobilized women to listen to sermons, and paid three hundred coins for one sermon, and a large number of women flocked to it. It is said that after listening to ten sermons, they will join the Order of Saints."

“Don’t the county governments care?”

"It should be profitable! The county government got a lot of money from selling the Chenghuang Temple, and the missionaries are all women. Even the more than 300 female missionaries, they preach abstinence, love, atonement for their families, etc., but there is nothing

They wantonly amassed money, so many county officials thought they were harmless and not a cult, so they turned a blind eye to their preaching and did not report it to the government and the public. In just two years, female believers have developed very rapidly."

There was a lot of discussion in the round hall. At this time, Li Ye waved his hand and said: "Everyone, be quiet!"

The round hall immediately fell silent, and Li Ye slowly said to everyone: "The Saints' Association started out as a harmless appearance, neither making money nor disturbing order, and it looked harmless.

But this is just a superficial phenomenon. With the financial support of the Saint Sisters, these female believers will carry out various operations and accumulate wealth for the Saint Sisters. At the same time, they will control their husbands and children through these female believers, just like a snowball rolling.

Growing bigger and bigger, controlling wealthy gentry, states, counties and even the army, their ultimate goal must be to control the Tang Dynasty.

But this is only part of the harm. At the same time, the saints will also significantly reduce the population of the Tang Dynasty. According to surveys, after many women become saints, their daughters will soon become believers, and then choose abstinence and will not get married again.

If things go on like this, the population of the Tang Dynasty will plummet like a cliff. This is something I cannot tolerate, even if the Holy Maiden does not threaten the court, I cannot tolerate it.

So in the next step, I will start to severely crack down on the Holy Maiden Society, and completely eradicate them from the Tang Dynasty before they become powerful."
