People in Yangzhou were still panic-stricken. Song Wen met several of Wang Zhiwei's confidants and after receiving some supplies, Song Wen and his party took advantage of the darkness and left the city of Yangzhou directly and arrived at a riverside dock.
The fleet arranged by Wang Zhiwei is waiting here. According to the plan, Song Wen will take people to board the ship here and go to sea, and then change everyone's sea ship to return directly to Sanxian Island.
Gongsun Sheng stood on the dock with a pale face and looked at the land of Jiangnan under the night, a kind of powerless despair filling his heart.
Unable to change, Fang La lost his mind and continued to coerce the people to attack Xiuzhou... Capturing Xiuzhou can contain the army and delay the army's attack on Hangzhou... Manichaeism can incite the people to rise up in Xiuzhou generation
They killed the officials and then coerced more people into joining the gang.
Yongle Dynasty!
What a ridiculous and childish era name? Emperor Yongle of the Dai Ming Dynasty who unified the world with stable imperial power was criticized by later generations for being arrogant when he used this era name... Who gave Fang La, who occupied dozens of cities in six states, the courage to shout out this title?
?
More than one million...
Song Wen remembered that historical records recorded that after the La Rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, more than one million Manichaeans and unruly people who rebelled against the enemy were killed in total...
Later, Bianliang was besieged twice by the Jin people. In addition to the defenders who were quickly defeated by the Jin people, all the armies in the north, and even the Western Army only had tens of thousands of people who really rushed to the capital. Zhang Shuye in the Central Plains, the Western Army's Zhongshi
Dao brothers, plus a few passionate Li Gang and others... Song Wen didn't remember that there were any troops of King Qin in Jiangnan and Bashu to fight against King Qin in Bianliang!
Did Jiangnan really have no army to go north to fight against the Jin people? Later, Zhao Gou went south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty court. Why was Jiangnan able to accumulate strength for several Northern Expeditions and fight with the Jin people in the Central Plains in a lively manner?
Zhao Ji felt sorry for Jiangnan, and Jiangnan reciprocated by sitting back and watching Bianliang, the capital of the Central Plains, be destroyed twice by the Jin people, and watching Song Huizong and his son being captured and died in the North in embarrassment.
Song Wen spat... These political intrigues and internal struggles are the real disaster for China's country. The country, the country, the world... the country, the country, the world... have harmed China for thousands of years. They have been fighting for their own selfish interests, so for generations to come.
The generations were oppressed and slaughtered by foreign races, but they could never be united...
Gongsun Sheng got on the boat and looked back at Song Wen who was still arranging his men... Then he saw that Song Wen had left behind fifty of the most skilled Qingshan Camp soldiers, as well as Mingyue!
Gongsun Sheng seemed to realize something. He stood up and was about to jump back to the shore... He was so excited that he almost cheered!
Song Wen cupped his hands and said: "Taoist Master is too involved in Jiangnan, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate to show up again! I, Song Wen, don't think I'm a righteous and benevolent gentleman... but I really want to do something in my heart to see if I can
Saved a few people in the south of the Yangtze River! My confidante, the green slave, was controlled by the Li family to be sacrificed to the foolish king... Originally, I wanted to go back to Bianliang to rescue him in person, but firstly, I wanted to do something in the south of the Yangtze River, and secondly, I wanted to have a good reputation in Bianliang.
It's also eye-catching outside... Why don't we ask the Taoist priest to take this young lady of the Li family to Bianliang and cooperate with Wang Zhiwei to help me rescue my woman, while I stay in Jiangnan to see if I can assassinate Fang La and end the court's war on Mo in advance.
Encirclement and massacre by the Buddhist people!"
Gongsun Sheng was stunned for a moment, then bowed with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Song is so benevolent and righteous... so benevolent and righteous!"
Song Wen smiled and cupped his hands: "My green slave asked the Taoist priest. If there is something that cannot be dealt with in Bianliang, let my people go to the Daqingshan military camp to move reinforcements! The Taoist priest can also go to Daqingshan to take a look.
Let’s see what the hometown where I, Song Wen, started out looks like... In the future, when we join forces to run Dengzhou Mizhou Generation, we can have an idea and a model!”
Gongsun Sheng raised his head and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, Gongsun Sheng will also save the green slave girl and reunite with Mr. Song!"
Song Wen nodded: "Please!"
The remaining people left the best equipment and horses to Song Wen, and then reluctantly boarded the boat. Song Wen and An Chunmingyue stood on the dock and watched a dozen boats carrying Gongsun Sheng and the rest.
The cavalry slowly disappeared on the water.
Song Wen exhaled a breath and looked at the rising sun...
"Brothers, how can we do loss-making business once we come to Jiangnan? Let's see if we can get some benefits from Manichaeism... It would be good to kill Fang La. We have no personal enmity with him, but if he can die a few days earlier,
, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan will die less...so, it is better for him to die!"
Dozens of Qingshan Battalion's special forces and elite cavalry shouted: "Kill Fang La and reap the benefits!"
"Hahahaha... let's go!"
Song Wen turned his horse and roared away with a group of extremely capable cavalry and special forces, disappearing into the early morning mist in the south of the Yangtze River.
~~~~~~
The New Year is coming soon, and now Hangzhou, the place where Manichaean Saint Fangla stayed, is deserted.
Many of the Jiangnan gentry and aristocratic families who had secretly supported Fang La's uprising have quietly disappeared, leaving only a few side branches and private soldiers watching in Hangzhou with their own agendas.
Fang La also knew that the only people he could really rely on were Fang Qifu and other old followers and confidants of the old cult who had been following him since he started his army in Qingxi, conquering cities and killing officials.
The remaining gentry families such as the Jinling Li family are all forgetful eggs with evil intentions!
The imperial army was resting, and Fang La had already seen the scene of the next attack by the Western Army, where the corpses of his teaching soldiers were scattered everywhere... He was not a fool. He knew that he could not resist the imperial court's strangulation with these soldiers alone. He hoped to do his best to
Coercing some Jiangnan noble families, but this idea is so unrealistic.
The Li family of Jinling secretly abducted the descendant of the An family from their own hands, and then secretly excavated the treasures of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Xu Hu had reported it to him...
Fang La was so angry that he kicked over the table and cursed Li as a bunch of white-eyed wolves. However, Fang La still resisted the idea of killing Jinling... The battle of Xiuzhou was imminent, but the soldiers under his command still wanted to have fun.
Happy New Year!
They are rebelling, robbing food, money, and women... If we can't have a good rest and play during the Chinese New Year, what's the point of rebelling?
All the instructors were lazy, secretly going out to drink and warm themselves up by the fire, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, digging wells and demolishing houses in the official residences that had been rummaged hundreds of times, to see if they could still find some hidden gold and silver property.
Fang La and Fang Qifu knew that if they didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of the imperial court's bandit-suppressing army to take the initiative to continue the melee, when the imperial court gradually surrounded them, people like them would really have no way to go to heaven or earth!
Fang La ignored the Li family. When the Xiuzhou war was over, Fang Qifu would immediately turn around and go south to uproot the Li family... These turbulent dog tycoons are all white-eyed wolves who are unfamiliar with them!
A Manichaean temple was built on a low hill south of Hangzhou. It was actually a remodel of an original large temple. The teachings of Manichaeism are now somewhat ambiguous. This step of localization and secularization of Chinese missionary work is indispensable.
...I just moved some of the original Buddhist scripture vessels and replaced them with newly created statues of gods and offerings from Manichaeism. I beat the original monks and drove them away and replaced them with some old Manichae members who continued to collect incense money.
.
Some people are really willing to kneel down and worship. It seems that Chinese people are used to making deals with the gods... No matter who sits on it, people in need can spend money to burn incense and make wishes. It seems that the gods will bless them if they spend money! You will make a profit without losing money...
Until a few young priests wearing colorful headscarves came to the temple, and a few old priests came over to greet them... My family, of course, must be more enthusiastic!
A few majestic-looking religious soldiers worshiped the statue of Mani, and then generously gave away ten taels of silver, making the old monks guarding the temple beam with joy.
Then a few religious soldiers said that they would pay homage behind closed doors, and then sit quietly for a long time to realize their enlightenment... The old parishioners also agreed, waving sticks and driving out a few ordinary people who could not spend much money for incense out of the main hall, and then left a few religious soldiers behind.
Worship inside.
After spreading to the East, Mani has already been tainted with some Buddhist colors. Its main teachings are the two sects and three realms, and it has its own precepts and temple system. The masters of Taishang Benshi include Mani Guang Buddha, Lightning King Buddha, and Yi Shu.
Tathagata, the pure wind, the Tathagata with the prior intention, the incarnation of heaven and earth, Lusena Buddha...
Nowadays, the Manichae Temple in Hangzhou can be regarded as the most respectable monastery that appeared after the Tang Dynasty eliminated Manichaeism. However, the complicated system of idols and gods really makes the common people confused, but just burn incense and worship Buddha... just worship.
No matter who he worships?
Fang La calls himself Holy Duke, and is said to be the reincarnation of Mani Guang Buddha!
Therefore, the main Buddha in the Mani Temple, Mani Light Buddha, is naturally huge and majestic. Although the construction is a little rough, it is indeed much larger.
Several majestic teaching soldiers worshiped devoutly, then sat around the seats of several gods and Buddhas, meditating and practicing meditation. Finally, they gave the old monks a few taels of silver, and then galloped away on horseback.
Several old cultivators were whispering to each other, praising the might and arrogance of their own cultivators. In this battle with the demon soldiers who were the minions of the imperial dog emperor, the sergeants under the Holy Duke would definitely win a complete victory!
Who would have known that everything was fine that night, but early the next morning... the old parishioners who came in to sweep incense and worship were so frightened that they almost peed their pants!
A row of sparkling and transparent glass instruments and tribute vessels appeared in front of the Buddha's seat. The eyes of the Buddha also shone and turned into gem-like eyes! Under the morning light, it seemed to come alive...
Three golden sandalwood sticks appeared in the huge incense burner, and a piece of white silk was placed underneath... It read: Mani, the destined one, offers incense and salutes. Mani's Bright Buddha, shines on the earth!
Several old parishioners stared blankly at the gem eyes that the Buddha had transformed overnight, as well as a row of precious artifacts and offerings that were suspected to be divine weapons, and stumbled out of the Mani Temple...
"The Buddha of Light has appeared, the Holy Duke has appeared for ten thousand years... the Great Buddha Mani has appeared..."
