Seeing Xiong Wu raise his hands high, with his hands in the lotus-like handprint, Su Ze directly raised the blunderbuss and pointed it at him.
Looking at the black muzzle of the bird's gun, cold sweat broke out on Xiong Wu's back.
He, who had always been laughing and joking, regretted his adventure for the first time.
Even though Su Ze didn't want the [Religious Knowledge] skill, he knew that this handprint was that of the White Lotus Sect, the largest villain organization in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
I mentioned before that the rebellion against Luo Jiao in Jiangxi was actually a branch of the White Lotus Sect.
The slogan that Xiong Wukou shouted was the slogan of the Hongyang Sect, another branch of the White Lotus Sect.
Now Su Ze finally understood why Xiong Wu stayed in Changning Guard and refused to leave. This guy was planning to develop followers in Changning Guard!
For such a person, Su Ze killed him directly, and the government even commended him.
Xiong Wu raised his hands above his head and immediately said: "Xiangong Su, please spare my life!"
Su Ze looked at him coldly and said: "You monster, what are your intentions for sneaking into Changning Guard? I will escort you to the county government today!"
Xiong Wu immediately said: "Ms. Su, spare your life! This world is about to suffer a great calamity! I am sent by heaven to assist you! You cannot kill me!"
Su Ze lit the match directly. Now Xiong Wu knew that Su Ze would pull the trigger if he continued to talk nonsense. He said tremblingly:
"Xiangong Su! I stayed in Changningwei because I felt that Changningwei was a dangerous place and a good place for rebellion."
Su Ze pointed his gun at Xiong Wu. Xiong Wu swallowed his saliva and said:
"Xiangong Su, I have traveled around too many places. Where is Jiangxi and Fujian now where thieves and Japanese pirates are not everywhere? Last year, Songjiang Prefecture was captured by Japanese pirates. Now the Ming Dynasty is exhausted. This time the Luo Jiao uprising in Jiangxi is just like that
Like Chen Sheng or Wu Guang, it will soon be a time of great competition among heroes and heroes!"
"Xiangong Su is backed by Changning Guards and is a capable scholar. As long as the world is in chaos, he will immediately capture the county seat and then seek Fuzhou Prefecture. Then he can separate one side. When the time comes, he can choose a wise master and follow him, and he can compete for the wealth of a founding hero.
!”
Su Ze looked at Xiong Wu. Xiong Wu thought he had persuaded Su Ze and continued to say:
"Fujian is based on Zhejiang to the north, Guangdong to the south, and Jiangxi to the west. Fujian has eight mountains, one water, and one farmland. This is a country that uses force! And Fujian has Yan Maoqing's Qing army. The soldiers and guards are in panic. This is the time to make a contribution!
Does Mr. Su have any intention?"
When Su Ze saw Xiong Wu's serious look, he went up and kicked him away.
"Do you think I haven't watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Do you think I don't know about "Longzhong Dui"?"
Xiong Wu covered his stomach and curled up on the ground, secretly cursing that Su Ze was too hard to fool!
Xiong Wu originally had a small family background and had read some books, but when he was young, his family suffered a natural disaster, and his father was unable to pay off his debts after selling his business.
It was so easy for farmers in the Ming Dynasty to go bankrupt. A natural disaster, a disease, or even a small change in official policy caused countless families to go bankrupt.
Xiong Wu's mother contracted a serious illness again. Within half a year, the family was completely destitute, and her mother passed away without being cured.
Xiong Wu's father encountered an accident, so he used his last savings to buy arsenic and some meat to eat with Xiong Wu.
However, the bear was lucky enough to eat arsenic but did not die and was saved by a neighbor.
Xiong Wu's father was not so lucky, and he also died with his mother.
What was originally a happy family suddenly left Xiong Wu alone. At this time, the squire who lent money to Xiong Wu's father came to the door and took out the deed from Xiong Wu's father, saying that he had sold Xiong Wu to
His family is a slave.
Xiong Wu injured the squire's slave and escaped. He traveled to many places and finally joined the Hongyang Sect.
However, Xiong Wu joined the Hongyang Sect and saw more of his fellow believers in miserable conditions. After accepting the doomsday theory of the Hongyang Sect, Xiong Wu firmly believed in rebellion.
Xiong Wu became the leader of Luohanjiao in Nanping County with the purpose of rebelling.
However, Xiong Wu is not a fool. Of course, he knows that Luo Hanjiao, a gang of lazy street gangsters, cannot resolutely follow him in rebellion, so Xiong Wu is lurking in Nanping County, waiting for the opportunity of "the world is in chaos".
He is observing and looking for his future "Mighty Master".
After Su Ze defeated the Arhats, Xiong Wu was imprisoned in Changning Guard. After such observation, Xiong Wu determined that Su Ze was his future "lord".
It's just that Xiong Wu didn't expect that the words he had been thinking about for a long time would be kicked away by Su Ze.
This is wrong!
According to the plot in the storybook, Su Ze should have held his hand at this time and humbly sought a "stabilization strategy" from him!
Why didn’t Su Ze follow the plot in the script?
Xiong Wu only read some books when he was young. Later, when he was wandering around, he watched some southern operas and legendary operas, and then read a novel "Three Kingdoms Acting".
Su Ze only felt that there was something wrong with this guy from Hongyang Cult, and he actually encouraged himself to rebel at this time.
It was true that Su Ze wanted to rebel, but he didn't want to rebel at this time.
What did the rebellion rely on at this time? The Changning Guards had less than 200 soldiers?
Not to mention that he was raising the banner of rebellion, would Lin Mojun arrest him and send him to the county government? Rebellion at this time would be like hanging himself for a long time.
There is no record of the Luo Jiao rebellion in Jiangxi in the history books, and it is estimated that it will be put down soon.
The Ming Dynasty is just about to collapse, and there will still be some time before it really collapses.
Besides, Su Ze was not stupid enough to rebel in Fujian. It is true that Fujian is a mountainous place, but the elites of the Ming Dynasty are now concentrated in Zhejiang, and there are also quite a lot of troops in Guangdong.
The rebellion plan formulated by Su Ze was to map Penghu, occupy Qiongzhou in Guangfu, and then wait for the chaos in the Central Plains before counterattacking and landing from the sea.
As long as the shipbuilding industry and firearms are improved by one or two epochs, you can land directly from Zhigu and take the capital directly!
This Xiong Wu even created a Longzhong pair, thinking that Fujian is the foundation of Wangba, there is something wrong with this guy's brain!
Su Ze was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a person, but Xiong Wu cried and said: "Lord! I am really planning for you!"
Su Ze originally wanted to kidnap this guy to Nanping County, but when he thought of his identity as a Hongyang sect, he asked:
"You said you are from the Hongyang Sect. How many believers do you have in Yanping Mansion? How much does it cost for food, troops and horses?"
Xiong Wuyi was so happy that he thought Su Ze had been persuaded by him to rebel, so he immediately said:
"Lord! Our Hongyang Sect has 3,000, oh no, 30,000 dead soldiers hidden in Yanping Mansion!"
Su Ze went up and kicked him again, and said loudly: "You think I haven't seen Sima Yi's part? Are you the only one who is willing to raise 30,000 dead men? How come you can't even raise Arhat's feet if you have this ability?"
Xiong Wu was kicked so hard that he didn't dare to lie anymore and said honestly: "There are not many believers in Yanping Mansion. The whole Yanping Mansion is very strict about demons. I don't even dare to preach to those Arhats."
Su Ze instantly understood that the Hongyang Sect has its roots in North China and has spread rapidly in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in recent years. However, various local beliefs have always been rampant in Fujian and Guangzhou, and the Red Sun Sect has no roots here at all.
Xiong Wu was sent south by the Hongyang Sect to preach, but this guy just wanted to rebel and did not develop followers in Yanping Prefecture at all.
Su Ze was also speechless. This guy just watched too much "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and his brain was damaged.
You might say this guy is a demon, but he doesn't seem to be spreading demons.
It can’t be said that he incited himself to rebel, right? An Arhat incited a well-known scholar in the county to rebel?
Su Ze felt a little stomachache. He looked at Xiong Wu and directed the two gunmen to say, "Take this guy back to the ancestral hall and lock him up first."
Although Su Ze wanted to rebel, it was too low to rebel in the name of religion. Moreover, throughout ancient and modern times, there were very few successful rebels in the name of religion, let alone demons like the Hongyang Sect.
Moreover, the Hongyang Sect also has its own power. The leaders and senior leaders of other sects are all involved. Rebellion under their banner does not mean starting a business in the name of another branch. If you fail to start a business, you will die and your family will be destroyed. If you succeed, you will be picked off by others.
?
It's really too low.
However, Xiong Wu is a well-informed guy who travels all over the country and is determined to rebel. It would be a pity to send him to the government.
Now that he knew his identity, Su Ze felt at ease. As long as he was under guard and not allowed to preach in Changningwei, he would not be in danger.
After returning to Changning Guard, Su Ze made it clear to his grandfather who was Xiong Wu, and built a cell behind the family temple to lock him up. The ancestral hall would also send people to watch him. Su Ze planned to lock him up for a while longer, waiting for him
Deal with him after returning from the county seat.
The hydrological data of Jianxi had been collected, and Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang to inform Beishan Chen that June 3rd would be an auspicious day, and construction of the river would begin when he returned from the county seat.
Lin Cainiang was told to take good care of her several acres of fields. The first batch of sweet potato seedlings brought by Su Ze during the crossing had not encountered insect damage or disease, but Lin Cainiang was doing the daily weeding work.
Counting the days, it has been almost two months since the potatoes were planted, and it is almost time for harvest.
We'll have to wait and see when we get back from the county seat, but we have to speed up the preparations for potato detoxification and seedling selection. This batch of harvested potatoes Su Ze is going to spread to Changningwei, and also to the wasteland cultivated by Zhu Qi and Luohan Jiao.
Plant on.
The first few batches of seedlings are very precious. These are varieties carefully cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. However, the seedlings will deteriorate after being planted for several generations.
Moreover, sweet potatoes have just begun to be planted, and there are relatively few diseases in nature. The newly planted crops have several seasons of high yields.
When pests and diseases appear, it will not be easy to achieve such a high yield.
Su Ze's agriculture is only at Level 5, and he does not have specialized breeding equipment. Currently, he can only find ways to slow down the degradation of seedlings and promote sweet potatoes and potatoes as quickly as possible.
I believe that after this potato harvest, we can promote this crop in Changningwei.
However, long-term consumption of potatoes contains nightshade toxin, and the roots of potatoes are not practical.
Sweet potatoes are not only edible by themselves, but the leaves and roots can also satisfy hunger. It is a crop that Su Ze values more.
It's a pity that there is no corn, but the land fertility in Changningwei is limited. Without modern pesticides and fertilizers, it is not easy to achieve high corn yields.
He also told Lin Liangjun to study hard. Su Ze went to the guard station again and watched Lin Mojun practice his gunshot. Su Ze also wrote some content about formation training and gave it to Lin Mojun, and also told Lin Mojun
Take a good look at the gunpowder workshop in the health center, and be sure to pay attention to the fire safety of the gunpowder.
After finishing all this, Su Ze rode a horse, carrying some purified sugar crystals, and headed for Nanping County.
The route was much more lively than it was half a month ago. In this era, merchants and farmers were all in silence. If Japanese pirates appeared, they might be killed or robbed. But if you didn't farm or do business, your whole family would starve to death.
Moreover, since the Xu Shisheng incident, there has been no news of Japanese pirate plunder in Nanping County, and the daily life of the people has gradually returned to normal.
It's just that the landowners of the farms and the squires who fled into the city are still in the city. They don't have to work in the fields anyway, and the city wall makes them feel safer.
[Riding County, Riding Skill Experience +10, Lv1, 56/100]
The tax collector at the gate of the county town began to exploit the people again, but Su Ze activated that skill, and since he had a road guide from the county school and wore the scholar's robe, the tax collector did not check carefully and let Su Ze enter the city.
Because he came on horseback, it was still early for the noon report. Su Ze led the horse and walked to the Huimin Pharmacy in the county seat again.
Su Ze plans to set up a medicine shop in Changning Wei to make some anti-diarrheal and heat-clearing medicines and sell them to ordinary people in Changning Wei at low prices.
Today, Changningwei's medical level mainly relies on the talisman water and medicinal herbs from the Ninth Aunt.
As for whether the talisman water has an effect or whether it is the herbs that Su Ze cannot identify even with his L1 medical skills, only Empress Sanxiao knows.
In addition to commonly used internal medicine, Jinchuang medicine is also needed for the training of health officials.
Lin Mojun had been very careful in training the gunners, letting them first use the fake guns made by Su Ze to become proficient in operating them before using the real guns.
However, the safety of muskets these days is really poor, and a musket still exploded.
Fortunately, the front part of the barrel exploded, and the barrel fragments cut the gunman's calf.
If the position of the explosion was closer to the rear, the gunman's eyes would be unprotected.
There is no way, this is not just a problem with the soldiers' loading operation specifications. The material of the barrel is not up to standard, the powder is unevenly mixed, and the lead bullets are not uniform, which may cause the chamber to explode.
Even a century or two later, there were a large number of cyclops among Western musketeers, all of which were injuries caused by the explosion of firearms.
Su Ze also kept this blunderbuss, and he was going to try to make a blunderbuss himself, but he needed qualified iron material first.
In fact, Fujian still had qualified iron these days. In military books of the late Ming Dynasty, Fujian iron was the first choice for making blunderbuss, which was the iron produced by the Fujian Iron Factory.
But high-end iron is not easy to buy, so you can only try your luck in the county.
I came to Huimin Pharmacy again after half a month. The weather in Fujian in June was already a bit hot. When I walked to the square in front of Huimin Pharmacy, Su Ze was startled by the crowd queuing in front of the pharmacy.
Is this still the deserted pharmacy from last time? Is today the day when the pharmacy is dispensing medicine?
No, these people are holding bamboo tubes in their hands. They are men, women, old and young. Are they here to buy drinks?
