Tide Six

The torrential rain whipped the ground ragingly.

In this era of many disasters and tribulations, the situation in the sky is also unpredictable. Strong winds mixed with a large amount of rain rushed over the sea, and they swept wildly. On the Min River, the yellow waves are as high as mountains, and under the dual action of wind and tide, they will crash into the sky and the embankment for the other.

The wind and rain lost their way. What is more confused than the wind and rain is the people who look at the wind and rain.

Lightning fell from mid-air, illuminating the faces of a god in the main hall of Xiangyun Temple. All the puppets and stalks lowered their eyes, turning a blind eye to the conspirators in the side halls.

In such weather, there are usually no pilgrims and good people who come to give alms. Standing under the hall was a group of Taoist priests who had been beaten by the rain like chickens in soup, surrounding the gods in the Taoist temple and whispering.

"Huoyun Dao Chief, the Heavenly Master has passed down the message, and when he sees Da Chun's order, it is as if the Heavenly Master is here in person!" A pock-faced man near the window spoke a little louder, startling everyone and taking a few steps back. Stretching his neck, he looked around several times before an old man with thinning hair scolded in a low voice: "Duofu, what are you talking nonsense, since everyone is here, you naturally know what to do!" ”

"Of course Mr. Tagawa is not in a hurry, you are a layman who cultivates at home, and you have a house and a land. And we are waiting, of course, we have to weigh the situation! Mazi was unhappy and pushed back the old words, and at the same time exposed the reason for his anxiety. The rules of Longhu Mountain are not strict, and the disciples are divided into gentlemen who practice at home and Taoist masters who live in temples. Usually those who have an industry at home are not in the view. Those who do not have permanent property are attached to the Taoist temple, relying on the donations of the people on weekdays and the real estate of the Taoist temple. Occasionally, there are some pretending to be gods and oppressing good business.

At present, Tianxiang encourages industry and commerce in the three prefectures of Fujian Lubei, and the land is exempted, and the rent is reduced and the interest is reduced. Most of the displaced people who did not have land were given a share of the land, and some tenants who had been renting the monastic land for a long time began to negotiate with the monastery to reduce their rent. This made the loss of some Taoist temples huge, and the rent of the field alone was less than 100 stones every year, so from the Taoist temple presiding over the fire cloud to the Taoist priest who sprinkled the sweep, they were all so anxious that they jumped to their feet.

"It's just that Liu Zijun has a lot of eyeliner in Fuzhou City, once Master Wu fails, everyone can't afford it!" The presiding officer of the Taoist Temple, Huoyun Daoist, hesitated, and was a little undecided about what he was about to do.

It stands to reason that the descendants of the Five Doumi Sect should indeed be the only ones who are Mongols. Long before the Mongols went south, Kublai Khan had already sent a special envoy to secretly select the 35th Heavenly Master Zhang Keda, and the two sides talked "very speculatively". Since then, the members of the Wudoumi Sect have acted as lobbyists and eyeliners when the Yuan army moved south. In return, Kublai Khan ordered Zhang Tianshi to preside over Jiangnan Taoism, and all believers in the Wudoumi Sect were not allowed to pay their land and property, and businessmen were also exempt from taxes.

This preferential policy has allowed the Wudoumi Sect to rapidly expand into the largest sect in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has faintly gained momentum to surpass the Quanzhen Sect in the north. Different from the pure and inactive emphasis of the Quanzhen Sect, the Wudoumi Sect advocates entering the WTO to practice, and the disciples of the Taoist sect have extremely frequent contacts with the government, and their interests are very large.

After Wen Tianxiang conquered the three and a half states in northern Fujian, he vigorously promoted his new wartime policy. The privileges that Xiangyunguan had enjoyed in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were gone, the tenants demanded rent reductions, and the small traders who had devoted themselves to the Wudou Rice Sect and asked for refuge also left one after another because the area controlled by the Breaker Army began to implement a tax system.

After the loss of interests, some believers have secretly colluded with the powerful in the city to exert pressure on the captive army. At this time, they received an order from Dachun, asking them to cooperate with the Mongolian warrior Wu Yunqi, the wandering Taoist Liu Qingyang and others to assassinate Wen Tianxiang, and their enthusiasm was greatly encouraged, regardless of the bad weather outside, they gathered in the auspicious cloud temple to discuss countermeasures.

Although his own property suffered some losses under Wen Tianxiang's rule, on the one hand, he was forced by Wen Tianxiang's military strength, and on the other hand, he was forced by his inner pressure, and he was reluctant to let several Taoist priests with strong martial arts under him take action.

"Huoyun Daoyou, I see, time is running out. When the emperor met the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master predicted that twenty years later, the world would be unified. Now that most of the twenty years have passed, the literary madman refuses to obey the mandate of heaven and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world. And all the unheard-of evil ways are crooked, I am afraid that it is the reincarnation of demons, and it is coming to the world. For the livelihood of the world, my generation should also fight with a sword to eliminate demons! The well-dressed Qingyang Daoist with a sword on his back separated everyone and walked straight to Huoyun and said.

His common surname is Liu, and he is a thug born in a brothel in Yangzhou. Later, he joined the Heavenly Master Sect and performed many miraculous feats when the Tartars went south. This time, Da Chun specially sent him from Guangzhou to contact Fuzhou Daoyou, which made his bones a little lighter, and he spoke with a faint sense of superiority with Shang Fang's sword in his hand. The voice dragged on a long tail note and sounded particularly command-like. It's just that the mouth is a little crooked, and the corners of the eyes and mouth twitch at the same time when he speaks, giving people a weird feeling of yin and yang.

The weight of this sentence was very heavy, not only presiding over the fire cloud, but everyone in the hall was moved. The 35th Zhang Tianshi once predicted in front of Kublai Khan that the world would be unified in 20 years. This sentence added to Kublai Khan's determination to go south, and also achieved the reputation of the Five Doumi Sect. Seeing that Wen Tianxiang's power is getting bigger and bigger, if it comes to the twenty-year period predicted by the Heavenly Master, the Dayuan soldiers are still busy "fighting fires" everywhere as they are now, the myth of the Five Doumi Sect will go bankrupt, not only will a large number of believers be lost, but the support of the Mongols will no longer be there.

Seeing that everyone was moved by the words of Qingyang Taoist, the thin-haired Dachuan monk coughed lightly and said, "But I often hear people say that the people are precious, and the community is secondary. A few days ago, Wen Tianxiang's anthology Fu Zi, Poor Dao bought a copy on the market, and there were words in it, and I thought it was true. He believes that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the dispute between schools and Taoism is under the state. From this point of view, the rise and fall of my sect and faction is really more important than the life and death of the people and the rise and fall of the country? ”

Among the crowd, he was resolutely opposed to accepting the assignment sent by Dachun. The land where the Mongols passed was littered with corpses, which was incompatible with Taoist compassion. The cooperation of the thirty-fifth generation of Heavenly Masters with it is already a superior move. However, there is an example of the Quanzhen Sect in the north, and it can also be inferred that it was to persuade Kublai Khan to reduce the killing in the Jiangnan region and use lies to prevaricate the mouth of the world. If the Wudou Mi Sect really became a thug in the hands of the Mongols and walked from the shadows to the table, I am afraid that the day the conspiracy against Wen Tianxiang was exposed would also be the time when the name of the religion was discredited.

The interests of the people are higher than the interests of the state, and the interests of the country are higher than the interests of the parties, which is already a criterion recognized by many scholars in the era of Wenzhong, when the country was divided and foreign invaders took the opportunity to invade. Otherwise, there would not be so many sons of rich people who joined the Eighth Route Army and joined the front line of resistance to the enemy. But in the Song Dynasty, it was tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground, which woke many people up.

The three religions of the Song Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, have all taken refuge in Dayuan. Under their influence, many people thought that the Mongols ruled the world because of their destiny. Compared to the Mandate of Heaven, those massacres can be ignored. Moreover, the upper echelons of the Mongols had already accepted the idea of governing the country with science and gave sufficient preferential policies to monasteries and Taoist temples, which was equivalent to accepting the entire school of Confucianism and the entire ideas of the Han people. Therefore, from the perspective of school interests, the Northern Yuan should be placed in the ranks of orthodoxy and those barbaric thieves should be ignored.

In response to these statements, Wen Tianxiang and Chen Longfu adopted the method of newspapers to engrave the discussions on the fate of the country and the nation in Wen Zhong's memory and disseminate them among the people. These arguments, written by famous politicians hundreds of years later, are not only novel, but also indestructible.

"Evil words confuse the people, and evil words confuse the people! With this word, it can be said in his heart! Qingyang Daoist shook his head again and again, and his whole body twisted with his neck, as if he was a scarecrow on a wheat field, looking very incongruous. The words of the thief have violated the essence of Confucianism. However, this person relied on the soldiers in his hands and the material resources of Fujian Road to print his fallacies on a large scale! If my generation doesn't make a move, I don't know how many people in the world will be deceived by it."

But several local Confucians nodded yes to this. Moreover, printing this text does not require too much consumption, and the movable type printing press set up by the army by the river can print hundreds of books a day! Dachuan Jushi's voice of retort then rose, and his eyes shone brightly, like a knife, stabbing Qingyang Taoist in the face, "It's Qingyang Daoyou, so tirelessly running for the Mongols, I don't know why?" ”

"For the sake of my teaching!" Qingyang Dao Chang took two steps forward, his shoulders straightened, and his sleeves revealed a bit of murderous aura. Probably felt that this reason was not sufficient, and added through gritted teeth, "It is my generation's duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao!" Whether we can kill this thief or not, we can become famous in one fell swoop! ”

This is a true saying. Regardless of whether the assassination operation is successful or not, above the history, with Wen Tianxiang's name, there will always be these clowns who jump off the beam.

Whether this figure is good or evil.

"I'm afraid it's for the Dao Chief's inner demon!" Mr. Tatsukawa took two steps back, his hand lightly pressed to the hilt of his sword. He had an urge to draw his sword out of the sheath, although he knew that with his own skills, he might not be able to defeat the Qingyang Taoist priest in front of him and the minions he brought.

The most taboo thing to do in the shadows is the appearance of incongruous voices inside. Seeing this, Huoyun Daoist hurriedly came out to play a round, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's think about it in the long run, think about it in the long run!" ”

"How can you think about it in the long run, Lord Wu Liqi has been waiting all day, are you willing to obey the orders of the Heavenly Master!" Qingyang Dao Commander took advantage of the situation to exert his authority and asked loudly. With the support of the Mongols behind him, he didn't pay attention to the local Taoist priests at all, if it weren't for the cooperation of these local guys, choose a suitable assassination route, and be a substitute for the dead ghosts when evacuating, he would have acted with the Mongolian warriors a long time ago.

"Click", a thunderclap sounded in the audience, and the lightning illuminated the uncertain faces of everyone.

"If you don't obey the order, everyone knows what the consequences are, even if the Heavenly Master doesn't blame it, Lord Dachun, it may not be...", a Taoist priest hinted gloomily.

"Poor Dao is willing, Poor Dao is willing!" The pockmarked face was the first to jump out and respond. "If you offend the madman Wen, let's just run away. If you offend the Mongols, it will be the end of the slaughter of the city, and when the time comes, everyone will fall to the ground, what kind of road will they cultivate? ”

"It's a poor one!" There was a dodgy response from a ragged talisman seller. His eyes didn't dare to meet everyone, and he slipped behind Qingyang Dao Chief.

"I'll go, the poor Dao is willing to listen to the dispatch of Qingyang Daoyou!" A gentleman who practiced at home sighed and responded, the pock-faced Taoist was right just now, once it is revealed, Wen Tianxiang is a Sven person, and he will not kill the whole family. didn't agree to this, looking at the face of the Qingyang Daoist just now, Da Chun really hit back to Fuzhou, and the family could not escape for their lives.

Rather offend the gentleman than the villain, most people have this mentality, like Qingyang Taoist priest to express obedience. Huoyun, the host of Xiangyun Temple, looked at everyone, nodded helplessly, and accepted the leadership of Qingyang Taoist on behalf of everyone in the view.

"The heroes don't suffer the immediate losses, if they shouldn't inherit it, I'm afraid they will have to sacrifice the flag to this group of people today. Lao Tzu gave him a job without contribution! Darshan hesitated, judged, and finally gave in.

"That poor Dao can pass on the life of the Heavenly Master. From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave this view without permission. Act according to General Wu Liqi's order" Qingyang Daoist Shi Shiran walked in front of all the Taoist priests and ordered in a low voice, "Those who disobey the order will be punished; Those who carry out tasks will be punished; If you don't fight the former, you will be punished ......."

Leng Sensen's voice echoed in the side hall. The rain outside the curtain became heavier and heavier, and the sky seemed to be angry, and it kept slashing and slashing lightning one after another.

"Your task is to spend this money as soon as possible after arriving in the Northern Yuan in exchange for the supplies we urgently need. Remember, everyone doesn't know each other, they are all Suxi people! In the darkness, a voice whispered.

Thunder sounded, lightning illuminated the faces of everyone in front of him, Liu Zijun waved his hand, and more than a dozen people dressed as vendors got up to say goodbye and disappeared into the endless rain curtain.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Zijun, dressed as a Confucian, looked at the wind and rain outside the curtain, and his heart was churning like a storm on the Min River.

He presided over an invisible front, and the confrontation on this front was thrilling and better than the front of the two armies. After Shao Wu completely annihilated the page in the first battle, the prestige of the Broken Capture Army reached a new height, and the appeal had gradually replaced the imperial court. At the same time, a large number of people with lofty ideals came to defect, and spies from the separatist forces of the Northern Yuan and local clans also came one after another, spying on military intelligence, bribing generals, stealing weapon drawings, and all kinds of tricks emerged one after another.

The Enemy Intelligence Division of the Broken Army, led by him, has engaged in many confrontations with various forces. Some wealthy families who colluded with the Northern Yuan were uprooted, but the losses of the enemy intelligence department were also huge, and dozens of veterans died in the dark.

never thought that he would one day be a special host, and Liu Zijun himself didn't understand why he changed so quickly. But he knows that everyone is changing, adapting to this era, and also adapting to the pace of Prime Minister Wen Tianxiang. Some people sacrificed more than themselves, when did they become Taoist priests for a long time, wandering among the heroes in various places, winning over and persuading the wavering generals in the newly annexed army, and contacting the heroes of the anti-Yuan in various places. Chen Zijing became a monk and led a group of brothers to move around the enemy troops such as Guangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road to provide the most accurate information for the Broken Army. The one who took the most risk was Prime Minister Wen's classmate and friend Xie Fangde, who infiltrated Dadu and specialized in stirring up trouble within the Northern Yuan, bribing officials, and disintegrating the enemy army from within.

The brothers dressed as businessmen just now took away a batch of the latest forged Dayuan banknotes of the Science and Technology Division hidden in the mountains of Shaowu, this kind of "Zhongtong Yuanbao Jiao Banknotes" that have no skills at all in the eyes of the craftsmen of the Science and Technology Department, can be easily copied through the water conservancy printing press and movable type technology, which is more like the real one than the original banknotes, and even the rectangular imprint marking the authenticity of the oblique side in the upper left corner of the banknote is imitated vividly.

There was no collateral for the issuance of the banknotes issued by Ahma, and the amount needed by the imperial court, regardless of whether there was actually so much property in the market. From the day it was born, it was a plundering of the wealth of the people. However, the "help" of the Broken Captives Army to issue this batch was only to take a piece of the pie in the Northern Yuan court, and after it was transported to the Northern Yuan Dynasty through underground channels, it was quickly sold at a low price, exchanged for necessities in the Fuzhou area and brought back, to meet the needs of local construction and army equipment, and at the same time to provide sufficient funds for the Enemy Intelligence Department.

Liu Zijun knows very well the consequences of this shady method. If this continues, within five years, Dayuan's banknotes will be less valuable than hand paper. But he no longer has a trace of guilt in his heart, and the witty Xie Fang has a good saying, in order to drive the beasts out of their homes, we have to become beasts! This is not only himself, but also a true portrayal of all the personnel of the Enemy Intelligence Division.

He was now worried about Wen Tianxiang's safety, and the intelligence sent from all over the country unanimously indicated that the Northern Yuan had shifted the focus of their offensive to Fujian. And there was no movement from the surrounding new annexes. Liu Shen, the marshal of the Han army, was on the outskirts of Nanjianzhou, dealing with Mrs. Xu's Xing Song army. Suodu's men and horses were exhausted by the pirates under Du Hu's command and the rebel army in the Zhangzhou area. Even the people of Dachun's headquarters wandered between Guangnan East Road and Jiangxi South Road, and caught and sought with Chen Hangyan.

This is not the custom of the Yuan Empire. It is understandable that the new annexes did not dare to attack, and after the killing of Pagemish, they had been frightened by the Breakers. However, the Mongol army and the Tanma Red army may not be so easy to deal with, they have a clear combat goal and like to go straight to the point. It is easy not to be shackled by the gains and losses of one city and one place.

It can only be said that in addition to completing the strategic deployment of encirclement of the area controlled by the Broken Army, Dachun also adopted other tricks. This trick was a habit of the Mongols, and it was also used by the Enemy Intelligence Division of the Capture Army. Simple, efficient, and last time through the hands of the generals of the new annexed army on the Liangzhejiang East Road, the men of the Military Intelligence Department easily eliminated Chen Gu and broke up an organized attack. This time, Liu Zijun had every reason to believe that Da Chun would use the same means to deal with the Broken Army.

Wen Tianxiang is the core of the First Army, and if he can be eliminated, the Broken Army may collapse. From Dachun's point of view, Liu Zijun believes that this is the easiest way to defeat the Broken Army. And some clues in the hand also show that this danger is getting closer and closer.

"What should I do?" Liu Zijun banged on the window edge and asked himself over and over again. If there is no conclusive evidence, and rashly launch a city-wide search and arrest operation, disturbing the people, Prime Minister Wen will also reprimand himself. But if you don't take action in time, you are not responsible for Wen Tianxiang's life and death. Everyone knows that the prime minister is a good official close to the people, and in his busy schedule, he likes to take time to go out of the house and go to the local area.

"My lord, a guest asked to see him, and he said that he had a confidential matter for you!" The soldier hurriedly walked to Liu Zijun's window and whispered.

"Who?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a monk, but he has a murderous face!" The pro-soldier reported in a low voice. More than a dozen guards on duty had already escaped the house and hid in the darkness of the courtyard.

"Please let him in, I'll wait for him in the study!" Liu Zijun nodded, and commanded with confidence. The performance of the guards encouraged him, and if the storm was destined to come, then he could only greet it calmly. Those evil methods are good for dealing with the new annexed army that has no intention of fighting, but it may not be easy to deal with the broken army that is hugging up and down. With the skills of those guards just now, it is no longer something that ordinary Jianghu assassins can achieve. Liu Zijun didn't believe it, those roosters and dog thieves were more capable than veterans of a hundred battles.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has no result, see the adult!" Accompanied by a Buddha horn, a solid figure appeared in the rain curtain.

Alcoholic's note: 1. Regarding the interaction between the Wudou Mijiao and Kublai Khan, it can be found on Baidu, and it is not apocryphal.

2. The problem of counterfeit banknotes and currency depreciation is very serious in the Yuan Dynasty in the official history. On the one hand, it is due to the poor banknote making technology, and on the other hand, because the imperial court has no capital to issue banknotes. In some areas, a chain of specialized interests in counterfeit banknotes has even been formed, and the government and the people have worked together to produce counterfeit banknotes.
