"In the Tianwan regime, Xu Shouhui even placed the Marshal's Mansion, Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Six Ministries," Zhang Zhaohua asked: "The system is complete, just like the imperial court." ”

In the eleventh year of Zheng, Xu Shouhui and Zou Pusheng, Peng Yingyu and others rose up in Qizhou, and the people took the red scarf as the name, called the Red Turban Army, and mobilized the masses with slogans such as "Maitreya Buddha was born". In October, the conquered Qishui was founded according to this, the day was over, and the year was peaceful. This regime survived for a short time, but the system was complete, because the Marshal's Office, the Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Six Ministries were placed.

"And another branch of the White Lotus Sect," Zhang Zhaohua said: "In the eleventh year of Zheng, Han Shantong and Liu Futong launched an uprising in Yingshang, Han Shantong was arrested and sacrificed, and in the spring of the fifteenth year, Liu Futong and others welcomed Han Lin'er to Bozhou to claim the emperor, called King Xiaoming. With Bozhou as the capital, there are Zhongshu Province, Privy Council, Yushitai and six departments, and local provinces. ”

The two White Lotus Sects in the north and south rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and finally it became a duel between Chen Youliang and Emperor Taizu. So what about the White Lotus Sect, even if it was counterattacked by Chen Youliang and attacked by Emperor Taizu, the White Lotus Sect should not have fallen to the point it is today, and the current White Lotus Sect is simply lowered by an unknown number of grades compared to the beginning.

"When it was ****," Yang Shiqi explained: "The secular government and religion are closely separated, and now where can the government be organized, it is just relying on religion to unify the people." ”

"No," Zhang Zhaohua said, "At the beginning, it was an anti-Yuan uprising, but now it is also an uprising?

"Maybe Dong Yangao had this plan, but he didn't have time. Yang Shiqi said.

"He can set up a military post, why not set up an administrative organ?" Zhang Zhaohua shook his head and said, "The two are not contradictory. He has already rebelled and called himself a marshal, and he has long been afraid of angering the emperor and has not dared to set up officials. ”

"Because the central organization already existed in the sect," a person pushed the door in, and said, "Following the example of the three provinces and six departments of the Tang Dynasty, the decision is called Liantai Province." ”

Hearing what the Buddha's mother said, Zhang Zhaohua said: "Where is Liantai Province, isn't it in Qingzhou?"

"That's right," the Buddha Mother said with a smile, "Liantai Province is the biggest secret in the sect, only the elders know about it, and the elders are just pawns driven by Liantai Province." ”

"Wait," Yang Shiqi said suddenly: "I've been wondering, what is Dong Yangao for, choosing to unite with Bin Hong, is it because Bin Hong knows more-"

"That's right," the Buddha mother said, "Bin Hong was sent by Liantai Province to lead the Shandong Diocese, so he created a system and appointed countless incense masters. Dong Yangao only knew that there was Liantai Province in the sect, but it was like seeing flowers in the fog, and Binhong should have mentioned Liantai Province before asking Dong Yangao to cooperate with him instead. ”

Regarding the origin of Liantai Province, the Buddha's mother did not hesitate to tell them.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the initiator of the peasant uprising was the White Lotus Sect, and the Red Turban Army Uprising was its masterpiece, and the White Lotus Sect gradually integrated the beliefs of Maitreya and Manichaeism at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, spreading the saying that "Maitreya was reincarnated and the Ming King was born" to the lower classes. And the image of Maitreya Buddha that all the White Lotus Sect believes in is actually depicted in the appearance of a person, and he is Peng Yingyu, the giant of the White Lotus Sect.

He was born in a peasant family, and as soon as he was born, he was given to a monk surnamed Peng in Cihua Temple as an apprentice and entered Cihua Temple as a monk. Later, Peng Yingyu secretly carried out anti-Yuan activities. He was proficient in medical skills, and often treated the masses near the temple and admired the people, so he preached under the cover of practicing medicine, preaching the teachings of the White Lotus Sect of Maitreya Buddha in the next world and changing the world, and the masses responded one after another, and the number of believers gradually increased to thousands, and Peng Yingyu was respected as the patriarch.

This Patriarch Peng of the White Lotus Sect is the founder of the Red Turban Army of the Southern Sect, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, almost all of them have been educated by him, not only Xu Shouhui, the founder of the Tianwan regime, worships him as a teacher, but even Han Lin'er and Liu Futong are also his apprentices. He founded "Liantai Province", as the central organ of the White Lotus Sect, this organ in his hands, can command the Red Turban Army in the north and south, but later after his death, Liantai Province was taken by Chen Youliang, and later Chen Youliang was defeated when he fought for the world with Taizu, and Liantai Province disappeared.

"But in fact, Liantai Province has always been there, but it's hidden," Zhang Zhaohua said: "You still have to listen to their remote control, right, but what ability do they have to control you remotely?"

"There are also disobedient elders," the Buddha Mother said, "but no matter how you defend yourself, the final outcome will be miserable." ”

The Buddha's mother has also seen people from Liantai Province, and she is still confident in her skills, but she finds that her skills are vulnerable in front of those people.

"My role as a Buddha mother is also the result of their support. The Mother of the Buddha laughed miserably: "They have created many miracles for me to help me win the hearts of the majority of the sect, but in fact, only I know that I am just a puppet manipulated by them." But this time I killed Bin Hong, they didn't blame it, firstly, Bin Hong killed Wang Xuan against their will, and secondly, Bin Hong had a bad idea of me, they wanted me to never marry, maintain the image of a saint, and facilitate the control of the congregation. ”

"But that's not the main thing," Mother Buddha said, "Actually, after the uprising in Shandong, they had a strange attitude. ”

Shandong, Henan, Hunan provinces uprising, the momentum is huge, many preparations in the early stage, preaching, calling, planning, Liantai Province has intervened, it seems to have great expectations for this uprising - but I don't know what's going on, the more later, the more perfunctory the attitude of Liantai Province, like a snake tail, no longer remote control of the rebel army in various places.

According to her, the shells and cannons she held were also transferred from Liantai Province before, some of them came from Hunan, they were privately cast by King Gu, and some of them were seized in the former Yuan Dynasty, and they have always kept them, and no one knows how many firearms from the former Yuan Dynasty were preserved in Liantai Province, which is simply a great threat to the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the Buddha's ammunition is about to run out, but there is no ammunition sent from Liantai Province, and there is no news of the letters sent out, as if they have been abandoned by Liantai Province.

"Without the support of Liantai Province, the uprisings in Hunan and Henan are about to be exterminated, and you are isolated, and-" Zhang Zhaohua said: "I finally tasted the power of the Han King, so you also know that the uprising in Shandong is about to end." ”

Mother Buddha nodded with difficulty.

"Let's make a deal. Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile: "I can protect the 50,000 people under your command from dying, and you must also obey my command and do one thing." ”

The emperor will not let go of these leaders of the White Lotus Sect, as well as the captured ordinary people who participated in the uprising, the Buddha Mother has foreseen the bloody slaughter in the future, she knows very well that it is useless to catch the crown princess, the emperor will not admit it, no one will admit it, then this crown princess has no value. If she threatens King Han with the crown princess, she will even make King Han dance happily.

Zhang Zhaohua told the Buddha's mother before that sooner or later she would find her head, and she had a way.
