Chapter 217: Tianlan Sect

"The population of Wuzhou is nearly 500,000, and the Han people are more than 100,000, only a minority, and the remaining Western Regions countries and Dashi account for half each, as far as the Han people are concerned, they have been separated from the Great Jin Dynasty for more than 60 years, which is the separation of several generations! The vast majority of people don't even know Chinese characters, except for a Han face, the rest have nothing in common with us. ”

Fan Zhongyun took a sip of tea and continued: "Speaking of politics, our Dajin is the supremacy of imperial power, Dashi is different, it is a **** empire, more than ninety percent of the people believe in Tianlan Sect, its Tianlan Sect Pope, in the country's status, than the emperor, the Dashi Empire has been turbulent in recent decades, it is because after the death of the thirteenth emperor of the empire, its legitimate heir was not able to succeed to the throne smoothly, but was forced to take power by the illegitimate son of the old emperor in the form of mutiny, This move caused strong dissatisfaction among many church leaders of the Tianlan Sect, coupled with the strong backlash of many big nobles, the two sides finally fought each other, this fight is more than 20 years, but now, this situation has changed, five years ago, the Pope of the Tianlan Sect died of illness, the new Pope and the emperor have a very good personal relationship, the rebel forces of the domestic sect have been calmed, and the remaining rebel forces composed of the big nobles, the contest with the central of the empire, has begun to be at a disadvantage. ”

Li Xun was surprised: "You've only been here for a few days, so you know so much?" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "These things are not a secret in the Dashi Empire, things that everyone knows, I can just pull a few Dashi people to ask, and you can know it clearly, it is not surprising." ”

"An extremely common and long-formed church, the impact on the people is extremely huge, its congregational worship and fascination with the church is also very fanatical, the leader of the church, generally speaking, has a very huge prestige and influence among the congregation, some time ago, the civil unrest that broke out in Wuzhou, I am afraid it has a lot to do with Tianlan Sect."

Li Xun nodded, speaking of the Tianlan Sect in this world, he couldn't help but think of the *** Sect in that world, but the two sides had some similarities in some aspects.

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun in surprise, he first came to Wuzhou for a few days, asked many people, and then clarified some information, and Li Xun should not have been in contact with Tianlan Sect before, but he knew very well about it, and he said the key point in one sentence, which had to surprise Fan Zhongyun.

Fan Zhongyun didn't ask much: "I said so much earlier, just to tell you that the situation in Wuzhou is very special, and the governance method should change customs and be the same as the actual situation." ”

"Does this civil unrest have anything to do with Wu Heng, the assassin of Wuzhou?"

Li Xun heard some extraneous meanings from Fan Zhongyun's words.

"You're getting smarter."

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun appreciatively, and then said in a serious tone: "It has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it, the reason is very simple, Wu Heng, the assassin of Wuzhou, obviously favored the Han people in handling litigation cases, and wantonly looted the finances of Dashi and the people of the Western Regions, I have inquired with Yuan He, the reason why civil unrest broke out in Wuzhou is because after Wu Heng took office, he forcibly recruited tens of thousands of people to repair the city wall, day and night, three meals were not allowed, and many people died, and then, Wu Heng ordered people to forcibly demolish Tianlan Temple, aroused the anger of the Tianlan sect, and finally broke out into civil unrest. ”

After listening to Fan Zhongyun's words, Li Xun was speechless for a while, leaning back, leaning back in the chair, his brows furrowed slightly.

If it is really like what Fan Zhongyun said, then the situation in Wuzhou is indeed very responsible, in the eyes of Li Xun and others, whether it is the people of Dashi or the Western Regions, they are all foreigners, but from another angle, in their eyes, how can the Great Jin not be like this?

The estrangement and disputes between ethnic groups are difficult to solve by external force or even force, there are hundreds of thousands of foreigners in Wuzhou, you can't kill them all, right?

Li Xun rubbed his brows and said, "I don't understand, Longyou was reoccupied by my Great Jin, why didn't they return to their own country?" ”

"It's harder to live back than here."

Li Xun was stunned, sat up straight, and wondered: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "Tianlan Sect also has factions, there are three in total, Dipu, Guiyi, Xianglan, the contemporary Tianlan Sect Pope is the Dipu faction, this faction, in the Tianlan Sect, belongs to the minority, and now that he is in power, he naturally wants to exclude dissidents, weaken the strength of the other two factions, and rule the area outside the Dashi Empire, and the other two factions of the sect members, their status, is not much higher than that of slaves, five years ago, the population of Wuzhou was less than 200,000. ”

Li Xun said: "Do you mean that in just five years, the people and the Pope who fled from the countries of the Western Regions to Wuzhou were persecuted as many as hundreds of thousands? ”

Fan Zhongyun nodded: "That's right." ”

Li Xun was puzzled: "What's so special about Wuzhou?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said: "The highest local governor of the Dashi Empire, called the governor, is similar to the position of the jiedu envoy of my Great Jin, before Wuzhou was recovered, its governor was the Xianglan faction, and he held military power in his hands, and the sects other than the Dipu faction fled to his territory and could be sheltered. ”

I see.

Li Xun glanced at Fan Zhongyun and said strangely: "Old Fan, you know a lot, you can find a few people to ask, you can get so much information, it's impossible, right?" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "Although I have not been here for a few days, I also met a friend by accident, many things, he told me, I have time, I will take you to meet, this person has a lot of knowledge." ”

Li Xun nodded: "People who can make you say that they are very knowledgeable seem to have real knowledge." ”

Between the two talking, before they knew it, two hours passed quickly.

"Boss, it's dusk, Yuanhe sent someone over to ask, are you still going to the camp for a banquet tonight?"

There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Daxiong said outside the door.

Li Xun stood up and chuckled, "Time flies so fast. ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "We'll talk when you come back." ”

Li Xun said strangely: "You don't want to go with me?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "It's boring to go, there are some situations, when you go to the camp, you will understand." ”

Li Xun nodded, didn't ask more, and turned to leave.

After arriving at the camp, Li Xun finally understood the meaning of Fan Zhongyun's last sentence.

At the beginning, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers in Wuzhou, and more than 15,000 people were transferred by Zhao Zhi to Hedong, and now there are more than 23,000 people left, led by four generals, and there are 5,000 people in Yuanhe's hands.

In addition to Yuan He, the other three generals are called Wang Chengxi, You Chong, and Gan Tuyuan, of which Wang Chengxi has the largest army in his hands, with 10,000 people, and You Chong and Gan Tuyuan have 4,000 people each.
