Chapter 23: New Taipingism, the second heavy pupil

No matter how powerful any dynasty is, there will always be rebel forces in the shadows, which is not about the strength of the country, but because people's ambitions are endless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If the country is strong, those rebel forces will naturally continue to lurk in the shadows, and they will not dare to act rashly;

But if the country's strength declines, under the impetus of careerists, rebel forces will continue to emerge like mushrooms after a rain, stirring up inexhaustible.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, the killing caused by the Han Dynasty has not only been more than a million, but also many of its own people who died under the iron hooves of the Han Dynasty.

In the early Han Dynasty, the three heroes were all executed except for Zhang Liang, and all the major princes and kings canonized by Liu Bang were all killed, and none of them were spared, and during the period of the Second Emperor Wenjing, nearly 100 princes were either executed or deprived of their fiefs.

These people are all heroes of the Han Empire, and they have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, but the result is so miserable, "the bird hides the rabbit and the dead dog cooks", which is simply taken to the extreme in the Liu family.

Killing can keep you safe for a while, but it leaves trouble for future generations, and hatred will not go away, but will only accumulate and eventually explode.

Although there are many anti-Han forces in the world, but the strength is too scattered, and the quality is uneven, although it brings great trouble to the Han Dynasty, but it cannot shake its foundation, but if someone can condense it into a rope, it will definitely give the Han this dead tree a fatal blow, and now that this person has appeared, he is the Tianping Sect Advocate Horn.

What Qin Hao didn't know was that while he was following Guiguzi to learn and enrich himself, while traveling to increase his knowledge and make friends with the heroes of the world, Zhang Jiao was under the arrangement of "fate", and one by one he came into contact with the heroes scattered outside, and history was quietly changing. However, this kind of change is not big at present, but one day it will gather into a sea and change history beyond recognition.

Since coming to this era, Qin Hao has made a total of two summons, summoning his teacher Guiguzi and sister Qin Liangyu respectively, but the damn balance system automatically summons 15 people including Huang Chao Hong Xiuquan.

Since Qin Hao currently belongs to the Han camp, the summoned characters will automatically join the anti-Han camp, there are not many anti-Han forces in the world, it stands to reason that the summoned characters will be under the banner of one person, but it is such a coincidence, except for Hong Xiuquan's implanted identity at the beginning is the Yellow Turban Sect, except for Song Jiang, the others were actually "accidentally" touched by Zhang Jiao, which makes people have to sigh, it is really a coincidence.

In March 181, when Zhang Jiao was preaching and spreading the teachings in Yanzhou, he accidentally found that his disciple Hong Xiuquan was quite talented, so he started to promote Hong Xiuquan and kept Hong Xiuquan by his side.

Naturally, there are endless topics to talk about, and Hong Xiuquan is a delicate person and is deeply loved by Zhang Jiao, so he was accepted as an apprentice by Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao got a great inspiration from Hong Xiuquan and thoroughly improved the teachings of the Taiping Sect and the incomplete theocratic system, which was of epoch-making significance to the Taoists of this era, and also had a great help to the future uprising.

In June, when Zhang Jiao passed through Runan County, Yuzhou, he heard that the local scholar Huang Chao was forced to be famous, but he was suppressed by the family because of his civilian background, and as a result, he failed to show filial piety, so he had a heart of love for talent, and found that Huang Chao was indeed talented, so he hired him as a staff member.

Zhang Jiao's sincerity also made the depressed Huang Chao feel unprecedented attention, and regarded Zhang Jiao as a confidant in his life, died for his confidant, and finally was invited by Zhang Jiao to become Zhang Jiao's personal staff.

The addition of Huang Chao, who has 95 points of intelligence, is also of great significance to the future development of the Taiping Sect, and the development of the Taiping Sect has never taken a detour since then.

In October, after a long period of inquiry, Zhang Jiao finally learned that the Xiang family, who had been wanted by the government for a long time, lived in seclusion in the East China Sea of Xuzhou, so he immediately set off to invite him to discuss important matters.

This clan is not the overlord, the overlord has no children in his life is well known, but his brother Xiang Zhuang has children who survived, but he was wanted by the Han family because he was in the same vein as the overlord, and has been in exile for more than 400 years.

Although the Xiang clan has few people, it has the inheritance of soldiers and overlords, each patriarch has a deep understanding of the way of using soldiers, and the clansmen are even braver, coupled with more than 400 years of grievances and entanglements with the Han family, its hatred can be described as monstrous.

Xiang Yan also knew that their clan and the Han family had long been unable to coexist, and there was no second way except to oppose the Han, so after receiving Zhang Jiao's invitation, he didn't think too much about it, and decisively led his descendants and clansmen to join the Taiping Sect.

In November, Zhang Jiao found another good apprentice Fang La in Yangzhou, and since then, in addition to Song Jiang, who is still working as a small official in Qingzhou, a total of 12 heroes who have been summoned by the balance system and carry characters, have all entered Zhang Jiao's command.

With the addition of these twelve top talents, the scale of talents in Taiping Dao, which was originally uneven, has swelled unprecedentedly, which has also made the already stormy man even more crumbling.

Under the leadership of Zhang Jiao and the joint efforts of everyone, the Taiping Sect has developed into the largest Taoist sect in the Han Dynasty in four years, with countless believers in the thirteen states, and has an excellent reputation among the people, which has been able to influence the normal operation and rule of the Han Dynasty.

Most of the anti-Han forces were unified by the Taiping Dao, and now Zhang Jiao's status in the rivers and lakes is almost the "leader of the martial arts alliance".

However, Zhang Jiao did not act for a long time, he was waiting for an excellent opportunity, Jiazi year, in this sixty-year Jiazi year, he Zhang Jiao will overthrow the Han Dynasty, a country that has decayed to the foundation.

…………

In January of the first year of Zhongping (184), Jizhou Julu, Taiping Dao General Altar Hall.

Today's Taiping Dao is the first sect of the Han Dynasty, but the headquarters is still simple, but everyone present has no objection to this, raising the banner of righteousness is a matter that costs a lot of money, and now that the great cause has not been accomplished, it is true that funds should not be wasted in these aspects.

Zhang Jiaoduan, who is nearly fifty years old, sits on the main seat, and on the left and right are his two younger brothers Zhang Zhangliang and Zhang Bao, and the first people standing on the left and right below are Xiang Yan and Huang Chao.

After looking around and reading all the expressions of everyone, Zhang Jiao nodded and asked lightly, "Are all the people due?" ”

When Huang Chao heard this, he stood up and replied respectfully: "Lord Qi, all the thirty-six square commanders have been present. ”

The followers of the Taiping Sect are all over the world, and because the number of believers is too large to manage, there are 36 square canals to manage the affairs of various places.

The thirty-six Fang Qushuai are all disciples of Zhang Jiao, namely Hong Xiuquan, Fang La, Zhang Niujiao, Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Mancheng, Bocai, Bu Ji, and Cheng Zhiyuan...... and others, each Qu Shuai's small scale also has seven or eight thousand people, the largest such as Yangzhou Hong Xiuquan, there are nearly 50,000 people.

And because Huang Chao and Xiang Yan are both Zhang Jiao's think tanks, their status is more respectful, and their status in the Taiping Sect is still above Qu Shuai, second only to Zhang Jiao.

"Gathering you and others together today is a major event that concerns the life and death of my Taiping Sect to announce!" Zhang Jiao stroked his long beard and said lightly.

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy, and everyone present knew what Zhang Jiao meant, they had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it had finally arrived.

"But before that, we have to cut off the traitors inside, and if we don't sweep the house, how can we sweep the world!"

Zhang Jiao's cold words were like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears, traitor? There was actually a traitor among the brothers, and all the Qu Shuai shouted angrily.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan stood up and said, "The traitor is not present, I have already sent someone to arrest him, and I think that the traitor will not be able to escape." ”

As soon as they heard that the traitor was not among them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Hong Xiuquan took the lead and stood up and asked respectfully, "Master, who is that traitor?" ”

Other schools such as Confucianism generally call "teacher" or "master", while Taoism calls it "Shizun", which is different from other schools to show respect for teachers!

A trace of sadness flashed in Zhang Jiao's eyes when he heard this, Zhang Jiao had no children in his life, and there was no continuation after the death of his wife, only a daughter and a righteous daughter, so each of these disciples he treated as his own son, and now he was betrayed, he was naturally very sad.

However, it is Zhang Jiao's sincerity, so he can gain the loyalty of his apprentices, even if it is a major event like rebellion, the apprentices are still obliged to follow him!

"Tang Zhou." Zhang Jiao said lightly, his tone full of disappointment.

"Tang Zhou !!"

Everyone exclaimed when they heard this, they all knew that Tang Zhou had always been loyal and honest, but he didn't expect to do such a disloyal thing, he really knew people and faces, but he didn't know his heart!

And Zhang Mancheng, who had a good relationship with Tang Zhou, was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up to defend his friend: "Master, will there be any misunderstanding here?" Maybe Tang Zhou has some troubles? ”

As soon as Zhang Mancheng's voice fell, he heard a crisp girl outside the door coming slowly.

"No matter what Tang Zhou's hardships are, but betrayal is betrayal!"

I saw a stunning girl holding a long sword, slowly walking in, the girl was dressed in red, heroic, and exuding cold arrogance.

And the two servants behind the girl pressed a man with a cloak and followed unhurriedly, that person was the traitor Tang Zhou.

"Sheng'er, you're back, you didn't get hurt on this trip!" When Zhang Jiao saw the arrival of the girl, a trace of love flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked with concern, without even looking at Tang Zhou below.

The girl in red is Zhang Jiao's righteous daughter Dongfang Sheng, who is only sixteen years old after Dongfang Shuo, has the appearance of a fallen city, and has unparalleled swordsmanship, and at the age of twelve, she can resist the sword saint Wang Yue Shijian, she is a real swordsmanship genius!

"Father Xie cares, Sheng'er is fine, but although this trip successfully captured the traitor Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou had already sent the secret letter before he was arrested, and the other party had nearly 100 horsemen, and the child's side was weak, so he could only press this traitor back first and wait for his father-in-law to fall." Dongfang Sheng said with great self-reproach.

Seeing this, Zhang Mancheng's face suddenly turned blue, and he had nothing to say under the ironclad evidence, so he sighed and retreated lonely.

"It's okay, Sheng'er, you're fine." Zhang Jiao smiled lightly and comforted, still not looking at Tang Zhou below, as if this person was transparent and did not exist at all.

Huang Chao, who was the first wise man of the Yellow Turban, heard this, and immediately stood up and said: "Lord, since the news has been leaked, I think it is better to act in advance, otherwise when the Han family reacts, we will be very passive!" ”

Zhang Jiao sighed, and just as he wanted to respond, he heard another loud voice coming from outside the door.

"No need to advance!"

Everyone couldn't help but look out the door, only to see a handsome young man with a height of nine feet, a burly figure, and an extraordinary appearance, slowly walking in.

The young man held his head high, looking down at everyone, his eyes were full of arrogance, and everyone frowned secretly when they saw this, and said in their hearts Where did this come from, but when they saw the young man's eyes, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Heavy pupils, why do you have heavy pupils too!"
