The big room named Temple is very different from the "Temple" in the intuitive sense. The statue of the god directly above is made of clay. Of course, it is not as golden as some large temples. The poor light at night makes the statue look a bit scary. The wooden crown on its head seems to be
The King of Hell on the underworld coin, the god of heaven has made an image of the King of Hell in the underworld, but it is really because the materials are too poor.
The walls and roof of the hall were stained gray and black by the burning incense candles and paper money, but the place was very large. Because there were so many people at this time, there were both torches and lanterns for better lighting. The smoke from the fire made the air a bit smoky.
There were more than a dozen altar leaders and their entourage, and there were not enough chairs or stools for dozens of people inside. Some were standing and some were sitting. The host was Monk Yao, and no one said anything when he sat above him.
The altar leader, but Monk Yao is the elder brother of the leader, and everyone is on his territory. There is also a person sitting next to Monk Yao, Zheng Qia.
Song Hu, whom Zhang Ning had just brought, pretended to be a believer in the Dasheng Village sub-chamber, and told everyone about the brutality of the officers and soldiers. In short, he tortured and killed many people, and the altar leader Hou and others who were captured would probably not have an easy time.
, torture is inevitable, and it is even more difficult to survive.
This story made everyone feel depressed and sigh. The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and their lips and teeth felt cold. The unlucky one now is Altar Master Hou, and maybe one day it will happen to him in the future.
At this time, Zheng Qia stood up, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, someone must have known the news. The puppet court has found out our details, and the situation is worrying. What I mean above is that important people in the church
If you need to leave the local area and find a place to stay, the higher-ups will provide you with help in terms of money, food, and identity..."
"Do you have any territory? Where should we go? What should we do with the brothers down there?" A middle-aged man interrupted Zheng Qia rudely and shouted loudly. Everyone immediately started uproaring.
The Jianwen Yu Party was originally just a loose organization. After years of evolution, it is no different from a mob. Emperor Jianwen's so-called imperial edict is not mandatory. Under normal circumstances, if everyone agrees with the order from above, they can unite. If
There will be no serious consequences if you don't agree with it and ignore it. Not to mention the remote control of Jianwen, even the leader of the anti-evil cult cannot completely control this group of people. He can only rely on some checks and balances to maintain the organizational structure. In addition, there are some in various branches
People with closer relationships serve as the central axis, such as monk Yao, and some old ministers who are more loyal and have good relationships.
Not to mention that the following group of altar leaders were extremely dissatisfied with the "order" brought by Zheng Qia this time, even Monk Yao was very reluctant. If Monk Yao obeyed the order and ran away, hundreds of people in the villages of Fengxia Mountain would be left behind.
What should I do with the family? He has lived in seclusion here for many years, and he still has a lot of affection for the fellow villagers who fled and migrated here. He really can't bear to abandon these people and wait for persecution by the government.
Zheng Qia looked a little embarrassed. After a pause, he had to raise his voice because the surroundings were already noisy. He said loudly: "If you don't prepare in advance, you will be in trouble. Lord Hou has been arrested, and the matter is in front of you.
.Those people in the Dashengzhai branch fell into the hands of the government. Someone must be telling the secrets of the sect. This is not an alarmist statement!"
The man who took the lead in shouting just now said again: "You can let us go, and arrange the brothers below together. Otherwise, Lao Liu, I would rather stay with the brothers and fight with the officers and soldiers for the fun of it!"
Zheng Qiadao: "Do you think we can only deal with a few officials from the Changde Prefecture? If it weren't for the vassal princes who are plotting rebellion, it would be possible for the court to send a governor down to mobilize troops from several provinces to encircle and suppress us. I advise you to think carefully about this.
Above, the leader of the church also agreed to the arrangement from above before this, Master Yao Tan can testify."
Yao Ji was nominally the concubine of Emperor Jianwen, so of course she would not openly oppose Jianwen's will. Everyone did not doubt the leader, even though she was not here.
At this moment, a voice suddenly said: "Everyone is thinking about their own future. They are all scattered. Doesn't anyone want to take care of Master Hou? Today, Master Hou was arrested. There are dozens of branches in the sect and tens of thousands of people."
People sit back and do nothing; if the sun falls on them tomorrow, who will help them?"
This sentence was not loud, but it was like enlightenment. Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man standing under Monk Yao speaking. A well-informed person below whispered: "That is the leader's
Son, the third prince of Emperor Jianwen. I heard that he went into hiding after the fall of Nanjing, and only came back in the past two years." Another person next to him was not to be outdone: "Jianwen Jun has three princes in total, the prince is by his side, and the second prince is still in confinement.
He has been imprisoned in Fengyang for more than twenty years, and this is the third prince."
When everyone looked around, they saw that the young third prince was tall and handsome, and she was indeed worthy of being the queen of the former emperor.
Seeing that everyone was looking over and noticing him, Zhang Ning said slowly: "I have been listening in the temple for a long time. Everyone is arguing endlessly. I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach an agreement on the dissolution of the divine religion. However, the rescue of Altar Master Hou has not come to an end.
Do people object to it?”
Zheng Qia was very puzzled after hearing this. He didn't know what trouble Zhang Ning was stirring up. He asked with a confused look: "The altar master Hou has been taken away by the government. The local prisons are all in the government office. The copper walls and iron walls are heavily guarded.
How can I be rescued?"
Zhang Ning pretended to be relaxed and said: "It is reported that the main people who dealt with Hou Tan Master this time were officials from Shimen County and some Duo soldiers. Changde Mansion sent a few people to supervise. The county government took the people back to prevent them from being robbed.
He should be detained in the county jail for the time being. If we take down Shimen County, won’t we save him?"
Zheng Qia was stunned and speechless after hearing this. Zhang Ning talked about conquering the city lightly, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling. The altar owners also looked like they didn't believe it.
Zhang Ning shook his head and sighed: "Everyone's courage has been frightened. Although my father's subordinates did not win in the end, it was common for them to capture cities and territories. Now a county town has become an iron wall? Anyway, the puppet court wants to
What's the big deal in attacking a county town if we are all to be driven out quickly? Now that the inland defenses are collapsing, military households like Huguang cannot fight at all. The defense of Shimen County is like paper. I don't want everyone here to send troops. I only need my uncle's men.
With more than a hundred soldiers from Wei Baihu, we can take Shimen County and rescue Lord Hou Tan."
Someone asked: "Is more than a hundred people too few? When a county magistrate encounters an emergency, he contacts the local guard station and recruits village warriors. It is easy to gather five or six hundred people in a short time."
"
"As long as it's not a mob, it's enough to cover a county with more than a hundred people. Any more would be a waste." Zhang Ning said calmly, "Would uncle be willing to lend me a hundred households?"
Monk Yao said: "The firearms were made by Ping An, the money was provided by the leader, and the people under Wei Bin used the firearms were also trained by you. As long as the leader agrees, you can just give the order to Wei Bin. Master Hou is from Fengxia Mountain.
As fellow disciples of the altar, it is our duty to save people."
"I have already reported it to my mother," Zhang Ning said, "so I would like to thank my uncle."
Monk Yao said worriedly: "Do you really want to use more than a hundred people to attack Shimen County?"
Zhang Ning couldn't explain it for a moment, so he casually said: "Uncle, do you believe in the theory of luck?" Monk Yao said: "I haven't thought about it, I don't know what it is." Zhang Ning said with a smile: "Wait until I take Shimen County, and then I will fight with him.
Uncle, tell me in detail."
Monk Yao fell into deep thought. Over the years, because he couldn't figure out what happened in reality, he had been meditating on ideas such as fate and karma. The current events made him seem to be getting closer to the theology in his heart during meditation.
At this time, Zheng Qia sighed and said: "It's getting late tonight, so you all should go back and have a rest first. After I discuss it with the leader, we will discuss it another day. Is there anything else that Master Yao wants to say?"
Monk Yao waved his hand gently: "Let's go."
Zhang Ning and Monk Yao were on the same road, and as soon as they walked out of the temple, they said, "If we take Shimen County, uncle, can I let Erlang come with me?" Monk Yao said without thinking much, "It's okay to let him practice."
"That's right." Zhang Ning nodded. Although raising troops to develop his power was not a success, Zhang Ning habitually used the methods of controlling personnel that he had experienced in officialdom. The Fengxia Mountain Armed Forces should be the same now and in the future.
This elite group is an important force in the composition of the military, and their direct leader is actually Wei Bin. This Wei Bin may be someone whom Monk Yao trusts, but there is another layer between Zhang Ning, reliable and controllable.
have been reduced; so Zhang Ning is consciously training Yao Monk's son. No matter what, his uncle and cousin are always much more reliable.
So Zhang Ning called for Yao Erlang again and said to him: "Tomorrow morning, my second brother will find Wei Baihu, the general banner, and the heads of the weapons bureau, and ask them to discuss matters in the weapons bureau."
Yao Erlang responded. Zhang Ning looked at the roads to the left and right. On the left was the residential yard leading to the back of the temple, and on the right was the main road in the village. He asked again: "Where does my little sister live?"
He had been here for half a day, but he hadn't seen his little sister yet. He went to see Yao Ji first in the afternoon. After dinner, he and Zheng Qia went to the temple to watch the noisy gang all night long. There were many altar leaders here, a group of them.
It is impossible for my little sister to come to the temple to see Zhang Ning if she doesn't know a man.
Yao Erlang said: "Not far over there, Zhang Xiaomei and Miss Fang live together, and there are two women sent by my aunt (Yao Ji) to take care of them; the owner of that house is surnamed Chen, and he is famous as a good neighbor in Zhuangzi.
Cousin, there is no need to worry about the family. My father has also asked me to take more care of them these days. I have sent some things there, so there should be no shortage of money... Cousin is going to visit them tonight? Then I will bring them right away.
you go."
The two then walked north along the broad road in the middle for a while, and stopped at the door of a house. A yellow dog ran out from the pile of firewood under the eaves and yelled "woof, woof, woof" at Zhang Ning.
It startled him. Yao Erlang shouted, but it didn't work. The dog didn't dare to come over, but it kept barking.
