The weapon is a colorful ancient sword, which seems to be considered an antique in the Ming Dynasty.&*.
．
com fastest update** The guide and escort's eyes jumped - this sword is not an ordinary thing, this person is not some unknown person.
There are also three darts, a few bottles of elixirs and the like. Typical belongings of a charlatan.
The most suspicious thing is of course the portrait of Zhang Yingchen - no one would hide the portrait of a Taoist priest without any reason.
Min Zhanlian was naked, his hands were tied behind his back and he was forced to kneel on the ground. This feeling of humiliation and pain was really unbearable. After a slight struggle, all the joints were pinched tightly. No matter how powerful you are, you are a hero.
Even like an ox, it cannot exert its strength.
He panicked - this kind of kung fu seemed to belong to the public. Could it be that he had offended a factory guard or some powerful eunuch this time? Thinking of this, Min Zhanlian couldn't help but feel his hands and feet go cold.
"What do you do?" Ye Mengyan stared at him coldly.
Min Zhanlian was startled. This man was almost still a teenager, but his eyes were cold and ruthless. At first glance, he was a murderer without blinking an eye.
"I'm a jock. I took over a business here, but I can't do it anymore. I'm on my way to Jining to get back by boat." He forced himself to calm down, thinking about how to save himself.
"May I have your name?"
"I'm Min Zhanlian." Min Zhanlian knew that lying on this issue would not help, so he said honestly.
"Oh! Are you the so-called killer?" Ye Mengyan heard the escort whisper to him a few times and nodded.
"Yes, I always rely on people's money and people to eliminate disasters."
"Employed by whom?"
"There is a local sect called Nanwuliang Sect - I wonder if this gentleman knows about it?" He fully expressed his sincerity in cooperation and answered fluently: "Three months ago, they sent people to Henan to contact me and asked me to bring people to deal with him.
.”
"Who are you going to kill?"
"A Taoist priest named Zhang." Min Zhanlian decided not to hide this fact - who told him to accidentally put the portrait of Taoist Zhang on his body?
He just didn't expect that without this portrait, he would have been an unknown corpse in the ditch on the roadside.
"You want to kill someone?"
"I don't dare to kill you." Min Zhanlian immediately talked about Zhang Yingchen's "miracle". He was very cunning and only told hearsay, not that he had seen it with his own eyes - because he didn't know whether the other party was Zhang Yingchen's friend or foe.
It's better to keep some distance.\\First published on .com\\
"I really don't dare to care about such a half-human, half-demon figure." Min Zhanlian said, "I had no choice but to lead the people back. Unfortunately, I lost my horse on the road. I was blind and confused, and I offended everyone!"
His words were not only reasonable and reasonable, but also calm and aboveboard, tearing apart his relationship with Nan Wuliang Sect and Zhang Yingchen. Then he happily admitted that he was "ignorant", which was tantamount to "accepting defeat".
", admitting that the other person is better than yourself - this move can often satisfy the other person's vanity and let you go.
Although there were casualties on both sides in this conflict, and the possibility of the other party being too generous was extremely small, he would always work hard to gain one.
Zhou Ruolan was interrogated again, and the confessions were similar. However, after comparing the two sides, Ye Mengyan quickly understood the truth: this group of people did come to kill Taoist Zhang, because Zhang Yingchen's "magic power" was too strong and he escaped.
"This Taoist priest pretends to be a magician all day long, and it still has magic power?" Ye Mengyan found it incredible - he had almost forgotten his high school physics.
Confused, he met with Zhang Yingchen in the evening and the two parties exchanged views on the local situation.
Zhang Yingchen's request was simple: use force to defend his local missionary activities, attack the local forces of Nanwuliang Sect, and ensure the safety of himself and the local church.
"My current situation is quite delicate," Zhang Yingchen said, "almost at a precarious balance point - the problem is, I don't know when my actions will destroy the balance.
"So, I need force to ensure that the balance is not broken - as you can see, my opponents are not taboo about using violence, so without violence as a backing, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold here, let alone spread the new Taoism
Already."
When Zhang Yingchen said these words, he looked directly at Ye Mengyan and acted candidly - he knew that this boy was very difficult to deal with.
Ye Mengyan was disgusted with Zhang Yingchen's request: in his view, Taoist Zhang was obviously practicing a "cult" - as far as Ye Mengyan himself was concerned, he hated all religions and was an authentic atheist Crusader knight and the Grand Inquisitor of the Atheist Tribunal.
.Whether it is Dean Wu, Bai Siduo or Zhang and Dai, they have all received his contempt. If they were not "comrades" and the use of religion is an established policy at this stage, these few people would probably still suffer.
received even worse treatment.
"No problem. Who do you want to kill?" Ye Mengyan got straight to the point.
"I won't kill anyone for the time being——"
"How hypocritical."
"No, I don't even know who to kill." Zhang Yingchen told the truth - so far, he doesn't even know the specific situation of his opponent in the local area.
The believers who came over didn't know much more than he did.
"Then what do we do?"
"Protect my safety at all times and protect the safety of Dadianzhuang." Zhang Yingchen said seriously, "From now on, I will start pressure tactics."
Zhang Yingchen's pressure tactics are to actively carry out missionary activities from now on, shift from ambiguous low-key activities to high-profile activities, fiercely compete for believers, and force the other party to actively deal with him again.
The enemy is in the dark, but he is in the light. If the opponent is dormant and unable to come out, he will always be in a dangerous state of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. Only by exciting them and making a big move can he seize the opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the opponent in one fell swoop.
"My missionaries will arrive soon - I will train another group here by myself." Zhang Yingchen said lightly, "It will soon provoke a small-scale religious dispute in the entire Yizhou. I estimate
, it won’t be long before a religious war begins…”
"And I am your Templar, right?"
"Still my religious inquisitor." Zhang Yingchen said in a soft voice, "Xiaoye."
"No problem." Ye Mengyan nodded.
Zhang Yingchen asked: "What do you plan to do with those two killers?"
"Kill him and bury him in the middle of the night."
Zhang Yingchen's heart tightened, so Zhou Ruolan gave it up. When he thought of Min Zhanlian's graceful muscle lines and his leopard-like flexibility, he couldn't help but secretly regretted that it was rare to encounter such a fit and handsome man among the natives.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Ye Mengyan was secretly amused in his heart. He immediately turned over and said, "If there is a suitable place for detention, you might as well detain him first and then release him."
At that moment, he smiled slightly, their eyes met, and they understood each other. Zhang Yingchen secretly praised him. Unexpectedly, Xiaoye has become more considerate and considerate after a few years, and he has indeed become a mature man.
In the next few days, new teams continued to arrive from Jining. The first were missionaries dispatched from the New Taoist Headquarters. Considering that most of these old Qiongshan boys only spoke Qiongshan dialect that the locals could not understand at all.
, Zhang Yingchen only asked three missionaries who spoke Mandarin best and were relatively reliable to help with the teaching affairs. As for the specific missionary work, he had to leave it to the local believers who had come to take refuge - anyway, for the time being, he did not need the believers to be familiar with the New Taoism.
How much do you know about the teachings? Let’s first occupy the territory.
Followed by the other members of the first team, twenty team members and dozens of support personnel from Qiweizhan came separately from Jining carrying various equipment and supplies. These included a large amount of medicine and new Taoist texts printed by the Hangzhou Station Printing Office.
Religious propaganda materials.
In order to facilitate his command, Zhang Yingchen moved his office from the village house to a small temple outside the village - which he has officially renamed "Yunshengguan". During the day, he trains missionaries and directs missionary work here; at night, he
He still returned to the banker's house to spend the night in order to continue his work on the banker.
After he had a discussion with the banker, the two parties reached an agreement to cooperate in opening a pharmacy. The efficacy of various medicines in Zhang Taoist's hands was well known to everyone. Now Zhang Yingchen used the temptation of providing these proprietary Chinese medicines to attract the banker to reach a considerable agreement with him.
Among the favorable conditions, the most important one is that the banker joins his charity project.
Zhang Yingchen's charity projects are no different from what Guo Yi did in Guangzhou. In name, he handles various charities regardless of category, but in fact they are mainly to accommodate refugee shipments. In the final analysis, the reason why Zhang Yingchen had to overcome all difficulties and go to Lunan alone
We came here just to accommodate the flood victims here, and missionary work was just a side job.
The southern Shandong area, including Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu and other places, has been a place prone to frequent floods since the end of Tianqi. This spring's floods have caused disasters in several state capitals, and victims are everywhere - as long as there is food, there is no need to worry.
Not enough refugees can be recruited.
The Senate has prepared a sufficient amount of food, and a considerable part of the relief rations has been shipped to Hong Kong and is waiting to be shipped to Hangzhou Station and Qida Island. Yizhou is only 200 kilometers away from Jining, an important hub on the Grand Canal, and 200 kilometers away from Rizhao Port.
200 kilometers away, it is very convenient for both sea and water transportation. If you want to use the current sub-base on Qiqi Island, you can also take the Yishui River: start from Yizhou and go north along the Yishui River. You can reach it by taking a short land route along the Juyangshui River.
We are in Laizhou Bay, and it’s not far from Qida Island.
This route is obviously the most suitable - it can make full use of existing facilities, and the shipping volume is large enough. Currently, the Denglai team is conducting route exploration and ship warehouse preparation work on this route to ensure that transportation is dispatched from Hong Kong
The incoming relief rations can be successfully transported to Yizhou.
The Foreign Intelligence Service's report on Operation Engine pointed out: During the operation, various motorized transportation in Shandong Province should focus more on river transportation - the local water system is crisscrossed, and there are many large rivers that can navigate ships of hundreds of tons or more.
