Wang Dingliu's cousin's surname is Zhong Mingzhen, and this name is much taller than Wang Dingliu. Because the Zhong family was still a wealthy family in the countryside in the early years, Father Zhong wanted his son to study and go to school, so this name naturally couldn't be too down-to-earth. It's just that the day is not off, and Daddy Zhong is only thirty years old and he is sick. The Zhong family fell from this family, and Zhong Zhen was fifteen years old when he mixed up at the Jinling City wharf.

After Wang Dingliu went up the mountain, he was promised a heavy responsibility, so he naturally wanted to 'promote' his own family. And thinking about it, among the relatives, only Zhong Zhen is the most suitable. After the latter was recruited to Jeju by Wang Dingliu, he understood the cause and effect, and was really willing to go up the mountain to join the gang. Now Wang Dingliu is a small leader who listens to the news.

Now he brought two Wang Dingliu relatives with him, returned to Jinling, and invited An Daoquan to go up the mountain again for a consultation, which is naturally familiar to him.

As for An Daoquan's name, Zhong Zhen has long been like thunder. Although when An Daoquan's wife died of illness, he also mocked An Daoquan with the slander that poured out overnight in Jinling City: his mother-in-law died of illness, and he had the face to say that he was a miracle doctor.

But Zhong Zhen knew very well that at that time, he was like an ant at the feet of an elephant, a hundred of them together, and it was not enough for others to step on them.

Even before receiving such a task, Zhong Zhen did not associate himself with An Daoquan at all.

That is, after receiving this mission, he suddenly realized that he and An Daoquan, who were high-ranking characters in the past, had unconsciously shortened the distance between each other so much.

Yes. As the small leader of Liangshanbo, his status is indeed inferior to An Daoquan, the "guest" of Liangshanbo.

If An Dao can go up the mountain, in Zhong Zhen's eyes, even his big backer, Wang Dingliu's status will inevitably be inferior to him. But now An Daoquan hasn't gone up the mountain, so their status is almost the same, and as the small leader of the spy department, he is inferior to Wang Dingliu, doesn't this mean that he is inferior to An Daoquan?

From being out of reach, to being able to look at it now, such a discovery made Zhong Zhen feel so unhappy.

So when he was happy, he heard the news that An Daoquan and others were "disemboweled", and he successfully called the mother and son safe, and at that moment, An Daoquan's image was completely different. Naturally, his status and An Daoquan have also distanced themselves again.

The story of the Three Kingdoms is very popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhong Zhen is no stranger to the character of Hua Tuo. But he knew that a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo had not been in the world for hundreds of years, and Hua Tuo's medical skills had been lost.

So what's going on with Antao now? Isn't this Hua Tuo alive? Such a character is second to none even if he goes to Liangshan. The gap between Wang Dingliu and him is in the rapid Rada.

It was only when Zhong Zhen crossed the Yangtze River and just entered Jinling City that he suddenly heard another news, Dr. An Shen was arrested by the government, and the others ran away.

Chinese culture is broad and profound. A few words can expound a wealth of philosophies, such as happiness and sorrow, such as this An Daoquan.

After he successfully completed his first 'operation', he became famous, like riding on a rocket that went straight to the clouds, and quickly walked all the people in Jinling City, whether it was a famous doctor in Xinglin or a fledgling hairy boy, all of them couldn't see their tails. Truly embarked on the pinnacle of life. Then he was thrown to the valley.

It turned out that someone accused An Daoquan of stealing the corpse and blaspheming the undead. To put it simply, someone accused An Daoquan of stealing the corpse of his blood relatives who had just been buried, playing with dissection, and engaging in research. Such rumors have not been confirmed, so Zhong Zhen's respect for An Daoquan has been greatly reduced for the first time, and you can imagine how bad the impact is.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that An Tao ran away, so how could he invite him to Liangshan?

I'm going to die, bad luck.

Zhong Zhen wanted to crash to death under Jinling City. This errand was supposed to be a hand-to-hand affair, but now it's all right, it's over.

But he did not return to Yangsan, but only asked one of his retinue to return to Jeju City as quickly as possible to repay Wang Dingliu. He and another retinue stayed in the Jiankang Mansion, hoping for a miracle.

That night, Zhong Zhen stayed in a safe inn in Jiankang Mansion. Originally, according to his plan, he was going to take the opportunity to go to the most famous Ruyi Building in Jinling City to have a good time. Before, he had empty pockets, and naturally he had no blessings to consume; But now it's different, in the days when Yu Liangshanbo was in office, he didn't save much money, but there were dozens of dollars. Ruyi Building, a place that did not dare to peep in the past, can finally go in and play happily.

But now, Zhong Zhen has no interest in playing.

As Wang Dingliu's cousin, he still knows some things that ordinary little bosses don't know. For example, who is the one who came to invite Antao this time? Although the man was a captured general, he was extremely favored by the big boss. As long as Zhong Zhen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel depressed in his chest. This time, it's a small thing to do by yourself, I'm afraid I'm really going to miss the big boss's big thing. is also going to delay his brother's future.

Just when Zhong Zhen was lying on the bed bored, tossing and turning, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River hundreds of miles away.

An inconspicuous landlord's courtyard, but there are many good people lurking in the front and back, just because this is a secret stronghold of Manichaeism. Today, all the great men of Manichaeism gather here.

In recent times, Manichaeism has been suppressed by the government in Jiangnan even more vigorously. But all Manichaeans, once verified, must wear a flail and stand in a cage. And the exile of the backbone personnel for 1,800 miles is light; Those who dare to be arrested are a dead end.

It was some local landlords and gentry in Jiangnan who began to vigorously cooperate with the imperial court to deal with Manichaeism.

You know, many of them were potential allies and even supporters of Manichaeism in the past.

But what can be done about it?

Who said that Manichaeism has recently changed its old banner and its political ideas have become so fierce and so hot? Look at those colloquial slogans, "Where the world is in the field, the people in the world plough together; No one is uneven, no one is not full. "The landlords and gentry were frightened when they heard it, and they were terrified when they thought about it.

As a result, these gentry and landlords, who were originally potential supporters of Manichaeism, turned around and merged with the imperial government. It is indeed the fulfillment of a famous saying of later generations: there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Although the court is still oppressing them, the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan, they are miserable, but the lesser of the two powers, Manichaeism wants to dig up their foundation.

Let's put it this way. Prior to this, the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan were too oppressed by the Ying Feng Bureau, and the rabbit could bite people even if they were in a hurry. Naturally, these gentry landlords were not willing to be tied to death. Their strategy of resistance is very simple, that is, what the government wants to deal with, we will support it.

The enemy of our enemies is our friends.

It's just that in this era, the gentry and landlords in the entire Jiangnan have not yet converged as in the late Ming Dynasty, but the latter has the Donglin Party as a link, and the Fushe as its Youth League. It is completely a game of chess for the entire Jiangnan, and the comparison between Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty is far behind. Although there is also a Donglin Academy in Jiangnan now.

Therefore, no one is in charge of the design, and they want to create a big turmoil for the government that is enough to make Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau become yesterday's yellow flowers.

In the Song Dynasty, the pattern of the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan was not so big, and they were more like the small whirlwind of the past, unwilling and resentful, but they would not really rebel. It's just a little trouble for the imperial court. But it can't be denied that there are indeed some discerning people who think that someone can set off a monstrous chaos. They are not afraid to leave a trace, because a riot can cover up too much.

And their chosen target was Manichaeism.

Whoever makes the propagation route of this sect, the fundamental idea of this sect, essentially determines their ultimate path.

Many gentry and landlords in Jiangnan have not seen this clearly, and even many officials in the imperial court over the years have not seen it clearly, but there are always clear-sighted people. Therefore, it has always been difficult for Manichaeism to come to the fore in recent years, and recently it has been forced by the government to turn into a secret sect.

In the 'eyes' of those clever landlords and gentry, the suppression of rebellion by the imperial court was naturally the first, and the second was to eliminate the impact of this great upheaval. If we want to eliminate the negative impact of public resentment and the world, we must first find a scapegoat. Ying Fengju and Zhu Mian are ready-made substitutes for the dead. In this way, the doom they will endure will be solved.

Even this big turmoil can make Jiangnan more quiet. Jiangnan is too populated and the land is too fertile. A mess is not a good thing. There is always a big chaos before the Great Rule. As for whether this great turmoil will greatly hurt Zhao Song's vitality, and whether there will even be the possibility of overthrowing Zhao Song, they will only scoff at it and laugh at it as nonsense.

These people don't know the power of the lower classes at all, but they can feel that the foundation of the Zhao and Song dynasties is not defeated, and how can the harm of only one place in the south of the Yangtze River affect the whole world? The left and right are just an enlarged version of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun's uprising.

Even if it will cause the court to suffer a lot of losses, it will be harmless on the whole.

After Zhu Mian and Ying Fengju were shaved off, they were still good citizens of the old Zhao family. The strategy of the Zhao and Song court's kindness to scholars and not restricting the annexation of private land was too much to their liking. How could such a court really be overthrown?

Such an intention is not unwise.

But such a smart gentry landlord is always the few, and more gentry landlords don't see so far and don't think so far. The gentry and landlord class in Jiangnan cannot be connected in series, so the former is just a small 'private abacus' of a few people. The majority of the gentry landlords, their connivance with Manichaeism, in short, was revenge on the government.

As for their support for Manichaeism, they don't even have to show up, they don't show up too much, they only need to be a little 'negligent' to discipline their tenants, and that's it. Or when facing the government's "strict investigation", do more to cover up. Many, many of these people did not dare to think of a Manichaean rebellion.

But now, whether it is a smart landlord gentry or an ordinary landlord gentry, they have begun to have the same heart with the official officials of the old Zhao family.

This had a great influence on the development of Manichaeism.

Fang La, who was sitting at the top, had a calm face, looking at the important people below, either complaining or shouting.

In fact, when he decided to replace his political slogan with the 'True Scripture of Rebellion' retrieved from Liangshanbo, he thought of the scene in front of him. Fang La is not a real ordinary person. He still has a certain political acumen.

Even the princes of the sect have spoken about this possibility. However, they still suffered a lot. At least on the bright side.

In a short period of time, no less than 1,000 people in Hangzhou alone quit Manichaeism. When the backbone of various places held small private gatherings, the number of believers under them also generally decreased.

But on the other hand, the cohesion of the Manichaean backbone has also been much stronger than before. The power of political slogans is being revealed.

This is good and bad, one gain and one loss, and there is a mystery in it, so that some of the Manichaean leaders are just happy.

In the eyes of many high-ranking Manichaeans, this is a process of removing the false and retaining the true. Now that this little pressure can't be beared, how can these people still shoulder the heavy responsibility when they raise troops to rebel in the coming days? How could you really follow the Holy Father's rebellion?

Although this greatly reduced the number of Manichaean believers, it also made them aware of the number of trustworthy and respectable people.

It's like a big fat man who suddenly transforms into a muscular man. Who would dare to say that the latter is weaker than the former?

However, this benefit also had a huge side effect, that is, it greatly pushed the Manichaean revolt forward from behind. Weight loss must have a certain limit, otherwise it is not a loss of weight that is fake and true, but a chronic suicide.

Originally, in the eyes of the Manichaean leadership, it was a silent uprising for three or five years. But not anymore. The rate at which the Manichaeans are declining makes them feel worried, they feel afraid. For the sake of the 'insurance' they recognize, they had to embark on an uprising. Because none of them wanted to see Manichaeism completely become a secret sect.

"The assassination of Zhu Mian is urgent. This move will be of great help in boosting the morale of our teachings and rallying the hearts of our people. "Although this assassination must fail. Fang La's eyes turned a light in his eyes. "Another is to send Junjie to Liangshanbo. I have made up my mind, so I will be headed by Dingtian, supplemented by Wan Chun and Jie'er, and then find five or seven cadres. I don't need too many people, but I have to teach them all for me. ”

Now that you are preparing for the army, you must learn to fight. In terms of martial arts, Manichaeism is much better than Liangshan, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, they have to call Liangshan master.
