Zhending Prefecture, the great ancestor Liu Bang led the army to conquer and pacify the rebel general Zhao Li of Dongyuan, and renamed Dongyuan County to mean real stability. By the Ming Dynasty, it was already the provincial capital of Beizhili, with five states and twenty-seven states under its jurisdiction.
County. Today, Nangong County within its territory suddenly became lively, not because the people were holding some celebrations, nor because the group of soldiers from the Shenwu Right Guards came out to stroll the streets again, but because the Zhenguo General who had just returned from Liaodong led the army to quell the rebellion.
Before the hour passed, I decided to stay and stay here for a day.
Now Nangong County is in a state of disarray. The county government office is in a state of panic. The county magistrate ordered that even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must find a rare object in order to please the most favored general at the moment and separate himself from the generals.
, the relationship between the two parties of Qin. The wealthy gentry worriedly called their families to hide all their valuables quickly, so as not to let this passing army rob them all. The local people were slightly better, although this army
The last time I passed by, I didn't do any harm to them, but I closed the door tightly and smeared my daughter's face with a thick layer of pot ash.
"I said, you two should be smarter while you stay!" Unable to stand his wife's nagging, Zhu Youcong had no choice but to agree to go to the city to sit down and chat with Our Lady of the White Lotus. But because his own bodyguards hadn't had time yet
When the group was formed, they had no choice but to wring out Lu Shanji and Yuan Chonghuan, who seemed to be the most intimidating, to act as temporary bodyguards.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that you won't lose a hair!" Lu Shanji has been in the New Army for a long time. He knows that when the general of Zhenguo is fine, he is no different from a street gangster.
No need to be polite to him.
"The general would rather die to protect the general's safety!" Yuan Chonghuan was not one of those old fools. He made a promise while patting his chest respectfully.
"Okay, let's see what you are talking about! This general wants you to be smart when you check out. I forgot to bring money when I went out!" Zhu Youcong carried four revolvers when he entered the city this time.
Yes, he doesn't believe that someone can move faster than a bullet. These two guys are bodyguards in name, but in fact they are the ones responsible for giving money and acting as human shields!
"General, are these many dishes enough?" Lu Shanji looked at several large tables of dishes at Linxian Tower, the most luxurious building in Nangong County, and had to speak out to stop the shameless fat man from continuing to use other people's money to show off his extravagance.
"What's enough? There are dozens of people here, how can it be enough to just order food?" This guy has received my salary for several years, how can he not take the opportunity to eat something? Zhu Youcong is very interested in coming here.
The waiter who greeted him said: "Go and have five more tables just like this!"
Why don’t you come to five tables? You little fat guy, don’t you feel bad about spending other people’s money, or are you the same as you when everyone in the world is a loser? Lu Shanji leaned into Yuan Chonghuan’s ear and whispered: “Brother Ziru, do you have enough money in your pocket?
?”
"That should be enough!" Yuan Chonghuan now finally knows what shamelessness means! A dignified general who governs the country actually provokes the autumn wind of his subordinates, and he is so unjust and unreasonable, but his fat face is full of "of course"
.
"General Qi, they've arrived!" Who said Fatty was broad-minded? He just muttered that? This little general actually kicked a senior master of mine and became a doorman, and he also welcomed those with unknown intentions.
Guy.
"The poor nun Jingci has met the Lord! The poor nun cannot deserve such a generous gift from the Lord!" A middle-aged nun led the crowd and clasped her hands together to perform a Buddhist salute first. Although they made up their minds to help, they were here to help.
The Holy Mother of White Lotus did not expect that the general of the imperial court would give her a good look; but she did not expect that they would actually come to the stairs to greet her in person.
"Wherever, fairy aunt and all the masters are here, and the younger generation should be greeted with courtesy!" Although I don't have much knowledge, it's okay to say a few polite words occasionally, but not too much. Zhu Youcong was wearing casual clothes when we met this time.
He did not notify the local officials. Of course, this title cannot be too clear when there are outsiders around. Besides, whether the negotiation can be finalized depends on two things. It is necessary for people to know that he invited rebels in the place where Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty suppressed the rebellion.
I was deceived after eating, how embarrassing would it be to spread the word?…
Our Lady of the White Lotus knows the rules better than Zhu Youcong. This time she not only brought a large group of church leaders from all over the country, but there were also burly professional guards in the team. After getting permission, these people drove away the waiter and stood directly at the stairs to take charge.
The alert is gone.
"I wonder if the Holy Mother has invited this general here to give you any advice?" It seems that he was too negligent and forgot that the other party was a monk. Seeing that no one was using his chopsticks, Zhu Youcong was too embarrassed to enjoy the food alone.
"The poor nun has been puzzled by something before. This time I went to Luoyang and finally knew the answer. So I ask the general to take some time out of his busy schedule to talk about it in detail." Our Lady of White Lotus did not answer Zhu Youcong's question, but talked about a past event.
Come. "Since the 20th year of Wanli, our White Lotus Sect can be said to have had followers all over the world. By the time of Tianqi, there were nearly 60,000 followers in Luoyang alone..."
"Sixty thousand?" Zhu Youcong was stunned by this number. He didn't know how many people there were in Luoyang back then, but before he started accepting refugees from various places, the local population must not have exceeded 100,000. But the White Lotus Sect can have 60,000
Believers, doesn’t that mean that at most two ordinary people there can be one of them?
"Sixty thousand, just a lot more!" Our Lady of the White Lotus pointed to a man who looked like a magic stick next to her and said: "This is the leader of Henan Province, Liu Tianshi! If the general doesn't believe it, I can ask him to explain it in detail."
"Then please ask the Heavenly Master to give me some guidance!" Zhu Youcong must figure this out. If the White Lotus Sect is really that powerful in Luoyang, then what he is doing is paving the way for them? Who knows this?
If a person is in a bad mood one day and raises his arms, how many soldiers of the New Army will go to him?
"General, there is no need to be polite!" Liu Tianshi first performed a Taoist etiquette before saying: "As early as the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, there was a severe drought and starvation in Luoyang. The then prefect of Luoyang did not know how to show consideration for the people. Instead, he went against nature to increase land tax and colluded with the local people.
The wealthy gentry occupied a large number of people's fields. Therefore, in that year alone, our religion developed tens of thousands of followers in Luoyang. Since then, the government has increased taxes every year. By the first year of Tianqi, it can be said that nine out of ten poor people in Luoyang were me.
Teach believers!”
Damn, this is too exaggerated. It seems that the Holy Mother of White Lotus has saved some face for me, not as arrogant as this magic stick! But what do they mean by saying it now? Do they want to threaten me to cooperate with them? Tell me.
You, this is never possible. I will not betray my parents and brothers, let alone hand over this country to you people who only know how to fool the people! Don’t look at the Ming Dynasty that was messing around in the past few years, but now two generations
The emperor and those knowledgeable people are planning for the future of the Ming Dynasty, and everything is changing for the better.
"General, does he know how many of our White Lotus followers there are in Henan?" Liu Shengun obviously did not expect Zhu Youcong to answer this question, so he showed off to himself: "Only the four prefectures of Huaiqing, Kaifeng, Ruzhou and Nanyang are
With millions of followers of our religion, it can be said that the imperial court controls the government, but our holy religion controls the hearts and minds of the people! As long as the Holy Mother ascends and shouts, countless people in the world will follow!"
"Then what you mean..." If this White Lotus Virgin dares to say those two words, Zhu Youcong can guarantee that none of the people present can escape. Even though there are only two people around him, according to the pre-arrangement
At least one company of troops has already sneaked into the city and is scattered around. They can rush here in just a few minutes with an order.
"General, don't be anxious! I don't have any ill intentions in coming here. I also ask the general to listen to what Leader Liu has to say!" Seeing Zhu Youcong's face changing constantly, the Holy Mother of White Lotus remained solemn and solemn, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Okay, tell me!" Listen, if these people really want to come out at this time and threaten the Ming Dynasty, even if I make the little fairy sad, I won't make it easy for you. As long as I deal with you people,
I don’t believe what big trouble those die-hard elements can cause when they are leaderless! The only trouble is how to reunite the people in the future so that they will willingly regard the Ming Dynasty as their paradise and regard the Ming Dynasty officials as their trustworthy leaders.
housekeeper!….
Liu Shengun suddenly put on a sad look and said: "However, since the third year of Tianqi, the number of believers of our religion in Luoyang has been decreasing day by day. At the beginning, we thought that the new prefect Gu Xichou and Lord Gu were cracking down hard, so that the people no longer dared to worship without worship.
I was born into an old mother, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it. But I never thought that as time went by, the prestige of my religion would decline. In the sixth year of Tianqi, the local people even drove my missionary away. Only then did we realize
The seriousness of the problem..."
"Okay, let me talk about the next thing!" Our Lady of White Lotus took over the topic and said: "When I first received the report from Leader Liu, the poor nun was also very puzzled. Over the years, although the court has been strict with my religion,
To be on guard, missionaries who go to various places have not been reported to the government, but such strange things have never happened. After discussing with the leaders of various places, we decided to send the guardians of the church to investigate.
I never thought that even the most sincere people in Yangjiazhuang would refuse them entry..."
Huh? How come I don’t know about this, and I haven’t heard it mentioned by Old Man Gu or Wang Zhizhen! It seems that this should be a spontaneous action by the people. I was just too preoccupied. With the support of the people, Luoyang will definitely not be lost.
"This time, I took the opportunity to visit my apprentice, and the poor nun also went to Luoyang. After many twists and turns, I finally found out the whole story." Our Lady of White Lotus said with envy: "I didn't expect that all this happened because of you, young general.
The existence of Luoyang has caused decades of hard work of my professor to go to waste in just a few years. Now the whole of Luoyang can be described as being unable to be splashed with water and impenetrable to acupuncture. My professor actually has no place to stand! So I am poor.
