Zhu Youcong, the general of Zhenguo, ran away! He had to run. Now, except for the two taels of fat, all he could afford was emptied by Chongzhen. The emperor, who got the advantage, was acting like a good boy in the palace with those ministers.
!In order to prevent everyone from seeing through the nature of his idiot, the little fat man, after learning that Sun Chengzong’s large army had arrived in Baoding Prefecture, used the excuse that the war on the Western Front was urgent and wanted to make arrangements for Liaodong affairs, and panicked and led an army of 20,000 overnight.
Out of the capital.
In order to express his dissatisfaction with this escaped general, Emperor Chongzhen withheld an extra battalion of troops as a punishment. Gao Doushu, who had originally agreed to accompany him to Shanxi to take up his post, obviously did not disdain to associate with such a shameless and shameless person.
, decided to wait for two days before going back, and stayed in the capital to chat with the emperor. While discussing the implementation of land reform, he also participated in the formulation of conspiracies and plans to levy commercial taxes in the near future.
Before Zhu Youcong could order the whole army to collectively raise their middle fingers to express their indignation, the reconnaissance battalion that went out to contact them brought back even bigger bad news.
"What? You mean..." Zhu Youcong was angry. Could it be that old man Sun was itchy because I hadn't dealt with him for a few months? Isn't it because I didn't let you follow him to Liaodong, and then he accepted you for training?
Second Army for several months? But I also figured out a remedy. Those tens of thousands of Guan Ning cavalry are all your old subordinates, and their physical condition is better than that of the new army in Luoyang. Not only do you not thank me for such a good thing,
, you actually came up with such a way to torment me?
"Yes, General, the two ladies are in the army now!" As an old subordinate of Sun Chengzong and the current commander of the Third Division, Lu Shanji has probably colluded with the bad old man. After receiving the report from his subordinates,
, actually came to attack Zhu Youcong himself.
"What do you think this is?" I am leading the army to fight, not just wandering around. Why did this stinky old man bring my wife? There are only two of them, and they are still using six horses.
Horse drawn luxury motor home.
In fact, we really can’t blame Sun Chengzong for being unprincipled. After all, Prince Fu is Zhu Youcong’s father. Who can disobey his little request? And Prince Fu only thinks about his precious son.
It seemed to him that his youngest son had grown up. Although the coming-of-age ceremony could not be held for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the planned grand wedding had to be postponed, this did not prevent the two daughters-in-law who missed their husbands all day long from stopping by to visit.
one time.
What's even more irritating is that the old man Sun Chengzong is so unreasonable. After he received the information that Zhu Youcong was less than half a day away from Beijing, he actually left the army to his subordinates and took a small road to rush there.
Reporting to the emperor. This left Zhu Youcong with nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to take out a notebook to write down the old guy's misdeeds, and look for opportunities to settle accounts later.
"Brother Cong, are you angry?" As one of the perpetrators, the little fairy obviously didn't realize how much trouble she had caused, and still maintained her unique innocence.
"No, how could I be angry with you?" Because his wife was here, Zhu Youcong simply got into the car. He had to deceive these two troubles back while he was still in Shanxi.
"My husband must be afraid that we will affect the army's schedule?" After all, Zhang Yan is a little older. If her sister hadn't had something important to come to, no matter how painfully she misses her, she would just bury it quietly in her heart, silently.
Pray for Zhu Youcong.
"No way, Sister Zu'e, please don't make random guesses!" Although I did resent them for their nonsense in my heart, I couldn't say that. "I missed you very much during these days of the expedition. If it wasn't an emergency military situation, I wouldn't have said anything.
I will go back to Luoyang when I have time."
"I just said that my sister is overly concerned!" Kind people are always easy to deceive. The little fairy raised her little head and said with a proud face: "Brother Cong, this time we are not only here to see you, maybe we can also help you."
Do you a favor!”….
"Oh?" Forget it, as long as you two troublemakers stay at home and don't run around, you will be doing me the greatest favor.
"You don't believe it?" Looking at Zhu Youcong's face, the little fairy was unhappy. She came all the way with good intentions, why couldn't she make him happy?
"Believe it. Of course I believe the two ladies." It would be a lie to say that Zhu Youcong was not excited at all. He hugged the two ladies dotingly and said: "But don't worry anymore. It's better to wait until the army enters Shanxi.
Can you go home before now?" War has always been cruel and bloody, and Zhu Youcong really had no reason to bring them to such a bloody scene.
"Yes!" This time the little fairy unexpectedly did not object, but nodded obediently and said: "Master, she is really waiting for us. When she has finished what she wants to tell you, my sister and I will go back.
!”
"Master?" What is this little witch doing? Not just wandering around by herself, but she actually tricked an old nun? Is it possible that that person is also a martial arts master? If that's the case, it's not bad to stay with you. Nothing will happen in the future.
Just follow the gestures and lose weight at the same time!
The little fairy said proudly: "That's right! Master, she is the Holy Mother of White Lotus! If you hadn't gone to Luoyang to visit me this time and saw the people living such a happy life, I wouldn't have agreed to help you appease the people.
Here!" That look was simply reminding Zhu Youcong, "Don't bully me, I also have a backing!"
"Mother of the White Lotus?" Look at the name, it's not loud at all! I thought she was a jellyfish, it seems like she is not an expert! Wait, there seems to be something wrong? Think again, White Lotus? Holy Mother? Me
My mother, wasn’t that the most proficient rebel leader from the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty?
"Meng'er, are you talking about the old mother of the White Lotus Sect?" I hope not, otherwise it would be really not fun! Before we even started to suppress the bandits, we got a bandit leader with the strongest will to rebel.
Come here, if I let this old nun get assassinated when I was cleaning up those people in Shaanxi, would that be unfair?
"Of course not!" It seems that the little fairy is still very kind and did not let Zhu Youcong's nightmare come true. But what happens next... "Old Mother Wu Sheng is the highest god worshiped by our sect. Master, she is just the leader of the sect.
, you can’t say that yet.”
"I teach?" Zhu Youcong was confused. Didn't the little fairy stay in the nunnery and be a vegetarian? Why did she join the White Lotus Sect again?
"Yes!" the little fairy said with an aggrieved look on her face: "If Brother Ji hadn't asked me to marry you, the position of the saint in the sect would not be in my hands now!"
Oh my god! What kind of wives have I married! A former queen is enough to cause a headache, and now here comes a little fairy who almost became the White Lotus Saint? Did God think that I am too kind and came here specially?
Tossing me?
In later generations, Zhu Youcong could not afford books because his family was poor, so when he was a child, he mostly read waste papers that his parents had picked up and thrown away by others. He thought that this gave him a wide range of knowledge, and of course he also had knowledge of the White Lotus Sect.
Partially understood.
The White Lotus Sect evolved from the White Lotus Society founded by Shi Huiyuan, the founder of the Pure Land Sect in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Liu Yimin and others at Lushanlin Temple. Because they advocated reciting the Buddha's name and observing the precepts, they stipulated that believers should not kill, steal, engage in sexual misconduct, lie, or drink alcohol.
It calls on believers to worship their ancestors. The doctrine is simple and the scriptures are relatively easy to understand. As a half-monastic and half-secular secret group, it is very accepted by the lower class people. But because of this, it usually plays the role of Buddha and Taoism in the lower class society.
The White Lotus Sect, which cannot play a role that the other two religions play, often becomes the battle flag for people with ulterior motives to organize peasant riots or peasant uprisings whenever natural and man-made disasters occur one after another or when social unrest occurs.
Their last large-scale outbreak should have been the uprising in the border areas of Sichuan, Hubei, and Shaanxi during the Tatar period. In addition to withstanding the troops recruited by the Qing government from sixteen provinces across the country, they also allowed the Qing Dynasty to only
The first and second grade senior generals lost more than twenty people and spent twenty million taels of silver. Of course, the White Lotus Sect did not fare well in the end. The Tatars, who were good at framing the blame, simply plunged the "deaf shit" into the abyss of decline.
Water was poured on their heads….
Some people say that the White Lotus Sect is a cult that is inherently opposed to the imperial court, but Zhu Youcong does not think so. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they caused quite a stir, and some people even referred to them as the Ming Sect, which they gradually evolved into.
They deceive future generations and say that this is the origin of the name of the Ming Dynasty. But again, if the people can really have enough to eat and live a stable life, who the hell can hold on and have nothing to do to rebel? They established the name in the early Ming Dynasty
He proclaimed himself emperor only because he had just driven away Meng Yuan, and everyone had a chance to aspire to the throne of the world! Otherwise, when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to expel his disciples and destroy his palace, why would Yu Xin, the Minister of Hubu, and Yang Long, the Minister of Rites, write a letter to object?
"What do you think they are here for?" Forget it, no matter how they are not following those people from Shaanxi to fool around. From this point of view, the White Lotus Sect is not an enemy at least for the time being.
"I'm here to help you appease the people!" The little fairy was very worried about her future husband. He must have been very busy recently. His memory is so bad at a young age. It seems that he did the right thing by asking the master for help this time.
In the future, he will have to ask the master to take care of his food and daily life.
"Husband, this Holy Mother of White Lotus is not like Xu Hongru or Wang Sen. Her intentions are the same as yours, which is for the people of Ming Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment." Zhang Yan also knew that the reputation of the White Lotus Sect was not very good, and she was worried that Zhu Youcong would take them away.
Comparable to the Wenxiang Sect back then. The reason why she agreed to accompany her sister this time was precisely because she learned their true thoughts after talking to Our Lady of White Lotus for many days. Moreover, these people are in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces
He also has a large number of believers. If he is willing to help, it can really save Zhu Youcong a lot of trouble.
"Help me appease the people?" This sounds good, but Zhu Youcong still can't believe it. After all, the other party only made trouble a few years ago. How could there be such a huge change in such a short period of time?
