Chapter 73 The Dimension Reduction Strike from Grid
At this time, there were no longer known how many believers of the White Lotus Society existed in the Jianghuai area, and most of them were peripheral believers, mostly preaching. They still stayed within the scope of Buddhism pretended by Dai Dekun, and still advocated observing the precepts and rules, and practicing at home.
, and at the same time spread the blessed water, and the money received from the blessed water will be donated to the society.
Obviously, after being bewitched by him, these people believed in the White Lotus teachings and became his money-making tool. It was with the help of this money that he could make trouble, develop more believers, and increase his core believers. These core believers
Many of the believers have interests tied to it.
Zhou Xiangshen, whom Ye An once disguised as one of them.
Although he has no official position, he has considerable ability and can provide necessary support to Dai Dekun through water transportation, and he must have received enough benefits from Dai Dekun.
The two even had a cooperative relationship to a certain extent, so Dai Dekun was willing to sacrifice Fang Linyue to further strengthen his control over him.
When Ye An saw all this in full, he felt his scalp numb. This Dai Dekun was not a very smart person, but he was extremely good at manipulating human nature. He was good at pretending to be gods and creating panic.
The most terrible thing is that the White Lotus Society already has its own armed forces, including arrows and armor, which have begun to be secretly manufactured. This is the reason why Ye An does not dare to take action easily.
The current White Lotus Society has not raised the banner of rebellion. If Dai Dekun ascends the throne and calls out at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. If he wants people, he should listen to his orders. If he wants things, arrows and armor are comparable to those of the Xiang army.
How powerful!
At this time, the two sides had entered a stage of secret wrestling. From the day when Ye An's strategic envoy Si Yamen was established in Tongzhou, Dai Dekun knew what Ye An's purpose was.
The White Lotus Society failed to attack, and Ye An had no usable troops, so the commander could only sit there and not move.
What's pitiful is that Dai Dekun still doesn't understand why Squire Zhou disappeared suddenly, and Fang Linyue also ran away from the White Lotus Society. Could it be that she, Fang Linyue, had somewhere else to go besides the White Lotus Society?
Like Ye An, Dai Dekun was confused about Fang Linyue's leaving without saying goodbye. In his opinion, it was natural for him to dedicate Fang Linyue to Zhou Xiangshen. She had no room for resistance at all and should be accepted by him honestly.
It's all about arrogance.
Because only he in this world can satisfy her thoughts, only he can help her fight against officials, and even attack Ye An.
But now Fang Linyue seems to have disappeared. She can't be found up and down Panlong Mountain. At first, Dai Dekun thought she was dissatisfied with his behavior and just hid out. But now that she has not been seen for dozens of days, it is even more frustrating.
What surprised me was that when his men went to look for Mr. Zhou, the people they sent out actually came back and said that Mr. Zhou's entire family, including his clan members, had disappeared.
This news immediately made Dai Dekun suspicious. Although he had been making active preparations, he never thought of starting an incident in a short period of time.
On the contrary, he has great ambitions and will not covet temporary victory. At present, the Song Dynasty is facing internal troubles. He only needs to wait a few more years. After the White Lotus Society develops and grows, God will come back to such disasters again. The more the Song Dynasty will be, the more likely it will be.
If the people are in dire straits, your chances of winning will be greater.
At that time, all you have to do is stand high and shout out, and you will get hundreds of responses from the world!
Originally, Dai Dekun was just plotting secretly, but he didn't expect that Ye An's appearance would destroy everything for him. From Fang Linyue's mouth, he learned that this Yunzhong Junhou could actually refute the teachings of the White Lotus Society in just a few words, and
He could also "convince the people" to trust the government again, but Dai Dekun was more worried that he would see through his plan.
At this moment, a manager's office suddenly appeared in Tongzhou, which had to be said to make Dai Dekun's heart pick up in his throat. Before he even planned to kill officials and rebel, the suppressive army was already in front of him? It couldn't come so fast, right?
!
But Dai Dekun soon relaxed, and his subordinates found out that the so-called Jianghuai Economic and Strategy Envoy Si Yamen did not even have a single forbidden army, and the most important force was actually the Xiang Army from Suzhou!
What use could a mere two hundred-strong Xiang army have? To put it bluntly, it was not even enough to put a gap in the teeth of his own men. But after all, it was also a commander established by the imperial court, so Dai Dekun did not dare to provoke him easily.
Similarly, Ye An knows how many available soldiers he has in his hands, but he doesn't know how many armed forces the White Lotus Society has, so naturally he will not easily encircle and suppress them.
The only thing that can be done now is to cooperate with Fan Zhongyan to completely relieve the disaster in Jianghuai, but just surviving the disaster is not enough. The most important thing is to make the Bailian Society lose its mass base.
Ye An did not expect that he would actually carry out science popularization and "anti-superstition" activities in the Song Dynasty. In Fan Zhongyan's words: It is better to say 10,000 words of kindness to the people than to give them a stone of grain. In the same way, to say 10,000 words of white lotus to the people
The society is fake, so why not expose their deception once?
Yes, Fan Zhongyan saw the problem. He was keen and discovered that Ye An could always expose the so-called magic tricks of the White Lotus Society. This was naturally the role of the study of things, so it would be better to let Ye An find his "proud disciples"
, but wouldn’t it be a great kindness to expose the White Lotus Society’s tricks in front of the common people?!
Ye An had the same idea as Lao Fan, but he was worried that others would use the guise of pretending to be a god and a ghost. After all, science is not something that everyone can accept, especially since there is a group of people in the court who are eyeing the study.
But what Ye An didn't expect was that both Fan Zhongyan and Wu Zunlu had a very tolerant attitude towards the study of Buddhism. As long as its content was not anti-Confucian, they could promote it without any scruples.
This might be an opportunity for Ye An, so the bachelors from the Tokyo Castle Monument Academy were invited over by Ye An.
Yes, Ye An has already opened the Gewu Academy in Tokyo. However, compared to other academies, there are very few people who come to study at the Gewu Academy, but the talents it cultivates are all great talents.
Almost all of them are internally digested by Puhui Company. Occasionally, one or two people who are transferred to the Li family or the Cao family will shine in Tokyo within a period of time and become leaders in the industry.
Ye An has never doubted the abilities of these people. After systematic study, these scholars have mastered the most powerful learning method in the world.
After these scholars were transferred to Tongzhou, the effect of anti-superstition was astonishing. The White Lotus Sect's method of selling blessing water was so-called magic and miracles. But unfortunately, the tricks of those three-legged cats were too real in front of these scholars.
Not showy enough.
This group of people has their own pride and rigor. Some are worthy of their hands-on experiments for cracking and proving, while others are simply exposed in public. Fan Zhongyan and Wu Zunlu simply don’t understand what dimensionality reduction strikes are...
