Forty years ago, during the period of Emperor Shengming (Emperor Dao), when the leader of Tianhuo Sect, Zhang, was on his deathbed, he passed the position of leader to his eldest disciple Yang Cheng. Leader Zhang believed that Yang Cheng was strong-willed and resolute, suitable for the more difficult task of leading Tianhuo.
The important task of teaching rebellion. Leader Zhang believed that Lin Feng was smart but good at managing money, so he handed over the financial power of Tianhuo Sect to his second disciple Lin Feng and served as the deputy leader of Tianhuo Sect.
The Sky Fire Sect has always been unable to make ends meet, and as a last resort, its followers often need to rob the rich and give to the poor - of course, the most important thing is to rob the rich to benefit themselves. After Lin Feng became the deputy leader of the Sky Fire Sect, he immediately used the ability of the Sky Fire Sect to conduct maritime trade, and he brought the Central Plains to China
Luxury goods such as ceramics and silk were shipped to overseas countries, and gold, silver and jewelry earned from other countries were shipped back to the Holy Han Dynasty.
Within ten years, Lin Feng had unknowingly become the richest man in the Lingnan region. After founding Wanheng Bank, relying on its strong accumulation of gold and silver wealth, Wanheng Bank's reputation was recognized by the government and the people, and it soon became
The Holy Han Empire established a silver casting village in Lingnan.
Lin Feng's wealth was greater than the court knew. Facing the huge wealth, Lin Feng's mentality began to change, and the conflict between him and his leader Yang Cheng became more and more profound.
Although Lin Feng secretly supported the Sky Fire Sect with a large amount of funds, Leader Yang believed that Lin Feng should lead the Sky Fire Sect members in the Lingnan area to directly launch a rebellion. Lin Feng believed that the Holy Han Empire was not complete to the point where the building was about to collapse, and launching a rebellion at this time would definitely be an egg against a stone.
, destroying the great situation of the Sky Fire Sect in one fell swoop.
The rebellion launched by Yang Cheng in the south of the Yangtze River was quickly quelled by the imperial court, and a large number of Skyfire Cultists were killed. Yang Cheng's plan to assassinate Emperor Taigan also failed. Yang Cheng had to take the Tianhuo Cult and the remaining party members to flee to Lingnan. Although Lin Feng
They had conflicts with him, but still helped them escape overseas.
Just before leaving, Yang Cheng looked at the surging sponge and immediately regretted in his heart. He felt that he should not be so embarrassed and give up the ideals of the Sky Fire Sect, so he plunged into the sea. Everyone thought he committed suicide, but they saw a few of him
Mengzi
He emerged from the sea, laughed and said that he had calmed down, and then resolutely returned to the Central Plains with his men. Although Yang Cheng was facing double strangulation by the court and Jianghu, he still tenaciously cultivated followers in various parts of the Central Plains and resisted the corrupt officials of the court.
of dirty officials.
Because of the mutual shielding between the nobles and officials, the people became more and more dissatisfied with the imperial rule, and the Sky Fire Sect became more and more influential, gradually developing from a small sect into a demonic sect that caused headaches for the imperial court.
But Lin Feng, who was in Lingnan, knew that the people in Lingnan were not as dissatisfied with the imperial court as the people in other places. This was because, firstly, the gentry had little influence in Lingnan, and secondly, the land in Lingnan was vast and the people could cut trees and cultivate fields.
The main conflict in the region was the conflict between Han and barbarians. Fourthly, the people in Lingnan were grateful to the imperial court for their support. Fifthly, the people in Lingnan had always been self-sufficient in life. This resulted in the people in Lingnan being more loyal to the Holy Han Empire than people in other places.
Therefore, Lin Feng never launched the Tianhuo Rebellion in the Lingnan area, and the conflict between him and the leader became more and more serious. Ten years ago, leader Yang died in battle. The deputy leader of the Tianhuo Sect should have succeeded as leader, but as Lin Feng of Wanheng Silver Village, he was
After being summoned by the imperial court, Wanheng Yinzhuang was invited to serve as the imperial guard.
Prepare food and fodder. Lin Feng believed that the reason why the Sky Fire Sect was killed by the imperial court and fled in embarrassment was because they could not arrange an informant within the imperial court, so he decided to hide himself in the government as the largest informant of the Sky Fire Sect, so he gave up the opportunity to be the leader and let
It was given to my nephew Wang Deyue.
After Wang Deyue became the new leader of the Tianhuo Sect, he re-established the political line of the Tianhuo Sect, with the propaganda slogan that everyone is equal and wealth is balanced, and there is no hierarchy. This made the Tianhuo Sect more and more powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, and developed to the entire Shenghan Empire.
, the imperial court had to work hard to put down the rebellion of the Sky Fire Sect, and even encouraged the development of Jianghu sects.
Lin Feng, who is ostensibly the owner of Wanheng Bank, took advantage of the chaos in the country to quietly make a fortune. His business grew bigger and bigger, and his trading path became wider and wider, from the initial maritime trade of luxury goods to
Silver taels were minted and silver notes were issued, so that in the later period, slaves began to be plundered on the southeastern islands and the southern continent. Almost all the Kunlun slaves of the Holy Han Empire were plundered by Lin Feng's merchant fleet.
Lin Feng infiltrated his power into the core area of the Central Plains, the capital of Longdu City, and used wealth to open up various relationships. Through Lin Feng's connections and funds, the Sky Fire Sect gradually penetrated into the Forbidden Army, especially within the Suzaku Legion, almost everyone
There are members of the Sky Fire Cult in the formation. The Suzaku Legion's extermination operations in Jiangnan have been repeatedly frustrated because of Lin Feng's influence.
Deputy Hierarch Lin has always cooperated well with Hierarch Wang, and Hierarch Wang also regards Deputy Hierarch Lin as his most trusted person.
However, during the Rebellion in the 29th year of Taiqian, Wang Deyue believed that the members of the Tianhuo Sect were lewd and took the opportunity to enter the palace and overthrow the Holy Han Empire, but Lin Feng opposed and stopped them.
Lin Feng still believed that the Tianhuo Sect did have a chance to launch a rebellion and overthrow the royal family due to the chaos in Longdu, but it would never be able to overthrow the Holy Han Dynasty. Especially the Holy Han Forbidden Army was still very powerful. They were just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and waiting for the princelings.
Who is the winner with Zhang Dang?
But once the Sky Fire Sect takes the opportunity to cause chaos, the imperial army will definitely take action immediately. The Sky Fire Sect members should launch a rebellion in the weak areas of the court, rather than the Dragon Capital City, which has the strongest military power of the court. But Wang Deyue believes that the opportunity is rare, and the Sky Fire Sect must seize this opportunity.
A once-in-a-century opportunity.
Lin Feng immediately refused and did not allow his followers of the Sky Fire Sect in Longdu City to launch a riot, otherwise they would be killed without mercy. Because of Lin Feng's strong obstruction, the Sky Fire Sect was extremely quiet in Longdu. Everyone only focused on making money and living, as if they had forgotten
own mission.
Wang Deyue, the leader of the Sky Fire Sect, believed that Vice Leader Lin and his henchmen had lived a wealthy life for too long and had forgotten the original mission of the Sky Fire Sect, so he sent four of his eighteen guardians to Lin Feng to flatter him.
It's called helping him, but in reality it's monitoring him.
Lin Feng was extremely angry, but he had to accept the fact that these four Heavenly Fire Cult protectors were by his side and reported his every move to the Heavenly Fire Cult leader at all times.
Lin Feng didn't like the leader Wang Deyue, but he had to admit that this leader gave the Sky Fire Sect a new lease of life, and transformed the Sect from a demonic sect that everyone wanted to fight to become the Great Wu Empire today. But he also deeply understood
I am deeply worried that once the Wu Empire is established, whether the leader will hide his extremely wealthy deputy leader.
"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Lin Feng said to himself, "Maybe Zhang Xiaowu is the one who breaks the situation, but he is too foolish and loyal to the Great Virtue Emperor, so I have to make some powerful revelations."
