Chapter 598: The Magnet Effect (3)

Meizhou, a small Zhili Prefecture not far south of Chengdu.

The state city is only one hundred and eighty miles away from Chengdu, and it can be reached in half a day by horse. There are only three counties, Pengshan to the north of the state city, Qingshen to the west of the state city, and Danling to the northwest of the state city.

To the east of Meizhou City, across a Minjiang River, is the territory of Renshou County.

Pengshan and Renshou counties were captured by Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, in the war to exterminate the thief Zhang Guangzu, and they were also the counties that took the lead in Shu to carry out the construction of new-style Wangzhuang and the resettlement of land.

More than a year has passed, these two counties have flourished in industrial and agricultural production, and have changed with each passing day in social and people's livelihood, and have become the experimental sites and leaders of the new policy in Shudi. A large number of cadres went out from these two counties and brought out advanced experience, so there was gradually a saying in the officialdom of Shudi, called "the officials of Renpeng, the merchants of Yazhou, and the grass mark of Bifengxia went to war!" ”

Meizhou, such a place close to the core forces of the Shu Palace; Now it is the only place in Sichuan that openly raises the flag against Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu; A place where the city is not strong, the army is not strong, there is no food inside, and there is no aid outside, but miraculously held out from the beginning of April to the beginning of July in the siege of iron barrels.

The war was sluggish, and the Sichuan government, which completely succumbed to Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, was of course intolerable.

As a result, a piece of troop transfer documents were stamped with the blood-red seal of the governor of Sichuan and sent to various places like snowflakes, and the various economic troops of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan were transferred to Meizhou.

The battalion soldiers in the town of northern Sichuan came to a large area, tens of thousands and nearly thousands; The soldiers in eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, and western Sichuan are dwarfed, and most of them are thousands, and few are only dozens.

Meizhou, like a super magnet that exudes infinite magic, attracts the iron powder scattered on the land of Sichuan to itself, thus cleaning the earth. In the end, Meizhou finally attracted **oss Zhu Pingjian.

……

A wide Minjiang River splits Meizhou City and Renshou County.

A small tributary of the Minjiang River, the Liquan River, flows from the southwest of Meizhou City, with the fragrance of soil and flowers, in the mist and rain, slowly poured into the mirror-like Minjiang River. As a result, this section of the Minjiang River, which is tens of miles long, is called "Mirror River" by the locals.

Not far from the upper reaches of the Jingjiang River, that is, northeast of Meizhou City, on a hill on the east bank of the Minjiang River, there is a small temple called Lingyan Temple (Note 1). Because there is a natural stone with a height of three feet and a circumference of six feet in the temple, it is shaped like a stone drum, so it is named "Lingyan".

The area of Lingyan Temple is not large, and the temple wall is not thick, but because it is located in a high place, it is very eye-catching, and the merchants of the boat on the river are all known, and no one knows.

Lingyan Temple is separated from the state city by a large river, and the security is excellent. In addition, the terrain is high, and there is a nine-story brick tower. Standing on the top floor of the brick tower, you can see the Sansu Temple in the southwest corner of Meizhou City when the sky is clear. Therefore, Zhu Pingjin rejected Wu Jishan's kindness to use Wujiazhuang as a practice, and took his staff team to this temple with an excellent view, clean and elegant.

Lingyan Temple thus became the command center of Zhu Pingjin in the Battle of Meizhou. But Zhu Pingjin chose Lingyan Temple for his trip, and there were more considerations. Because the focus of his work is by no means limited to a small Meizhou City, and it is by no means limited to the thousands of rabble in Meizhou City.

The size of power is always positively correlated with the amount of work, and it must take hard work to grasp power.

Zhu Pingjin knew that as long as he was in the information center and decision-making center of the Shu Palace, all things would rush to him, let him make decisions, let him bear them, and let him think endlessly.

Without a mobile phone to play, his wife, who had to toss blindly, did not let him rest comfortably for a while.

Agricultural products are related to life and death, military products are related to survival, and science and technology are related to the future. While developing the capital market and laying out the real estate market, she also focused on the increasingly prosperous consumer market. In order to kickstart this market, she set her eyes on her peers and on the beauty-loving nature of women.

Nanchuan Wang second Zhu Ping? 艿南倇居仁疑牖す?緀九?? Which brother is on the cape? Ridicule? Fresh and fresh? Borrowing Xi? He) teamed up to hold a secret fashion show for upper-class women in a low-key manner with the help of the platform of the main hall of the Deyang Palace, which had been idle for a long time. Zhu Dashizi of the Shu Prince's Mansion, Zhu Da reporter of Fuxing Daily, Zhu Dajian Jun who reported on his work in Hui Rong, and Chairman Zhu Da, who specializes in women's work, were the only four real men invited to participate. Yi? Dreams? Pot barren wolf health?/p>

Although his wife hid in the audience, Zhu Pingjin quickly discovered traces of his wife's interference.

For example, the autumn and winter women's regular clothes, You Shi stared at the high heels and swayed them in a variety of styles, which is simply the Ming version of the GMD female spy;

And another set of very innovative torn palace costumes, so that the Taiping County Lord who is smeared with zombie makeup is draped, which is purely the Ming version of the village killing Matt.

Mystery inspires**, innovation leads fashion. The clothes on the fashion show were snatched up by the high-class women who rushed up, as if they were completely free. The wife was scheming, and her little face was smiling.

But there are gains and losses, and Zhu Pingjin is always that unfortunate victim. Soon there were rumors on the street that Zhu Pingjin, the son of Shu, was finally tired of his fiancΓ©e's strong and jealous, and instructed the clan wife to hold a draft meeting.

Zhu Pingjian, who entered the arena with his wife's hand and was monitored throughout the whole process, scoffed at such unbounded rumors, but he still performed a show of affection in front of hundreds of officials and nobles before leaving for Meizhou, which made people who were fortunate enough to witness it sigh: When it comes to the mastery of taming, Wu Zetian deserves to rank first, Queen Dugu follows closely and ranks second, and Miss Luo will definitely be among the top three and be ranked as Tanhua!

According to the general pattern of Han temple architecture, the central axis of Lingyan Temple is mostly the hall of gods and Buddhas. In a meditation room west of the central axis, there is a small independent courtyard on the edge of the steep rock. This was originally the meditation room of the abbot of Lingyan Temple, and the scenery is very good.

After Zhu Pingjin arrived, the abbot of Lingyan Temple naturally let it go and became Zhu Pingjin's temporary residence in Meizhou.

After living in the meditation room, Zhu Pingjin, who finally got rid of his wife's noise and toss, completely emptied his body and mind.

Early in the morning, he woke up early and ran three laps around the small temple in a short-sleeved suit. Then he came to the foot of a pagoda standing on the high ground by the river. One hundred and ten steps, his young body was completed in one go.

Standing at the top of the cramped tower, which could barely be turned around, Zhu Pingjin did not rush to close his eyes to the large telescope tube.

With the naked eye, the river surface is filled with morning mist full of water vapor, like a veil that seems to be there and nothing, making all long-distance observations become flowers in the fog.

It's okay, Zhu Pingjin thought, since the bald head is not open, it is better to take the time to do the business today.

The generals who participated in the battle of Meizhou will see each other sooner or later, even if they can't win back the hearts of the people, they can also exert grace.

Because the real power is not in the mountains of twists and turns, but in the soldiers and horses in the hands of these generals, and they must not be neglected.

……

On the morning of July 13, the third day after Zhu Pingjin, the son of Shu, arrived in Meizhou, a group of Ming generals who had been waiting for a long time in the barracks of the guard regiment outside Lingyan Temple finally received the will of a collective audience.

They took off their battle armor, put on official robes, put on the newly issued ** helmet-style red beads with a wide brim black gauze hat, and after the eunuch explained the audience etiquette in detail, Yuguan entered the temple gate.

After entering the palace of the heavenly king, they handed over the hot and cold weapons they wore to the guard regiment of the prince set up in the palace of the heavenly king, registered their identity information, and once again formed the whole team, in the highest-level general, the brigade-level treatment of the Shu Wangfu, the commander of the Baoning Military Region and the head of the 11th regiment, and the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the rear army, under the leadership of Liu Zhenfan, the general soldier of northern Sichuan, with the rank of deputy general, followed the chief eunuch Zhang Wei to the small courtyard of the prince.

Along the way, I met several guards on duty, checking and checking the passes. Passing through a deep and dark alley in the side room, he finally came to the door of a small courtyard, and the eunuch Zhang Wei, who led the way, stopped and didn't leave.

"Wait a minute, generals! Please allow our family to report to the prince first! ”

Zhang Wei bowed slightly to Liu Zhenfan as he spoke, reminding him and the generals behind him again:

"The pure place of Buddhism meditation must not be noisy! When the prince speaks, you will come to worship before you. The prince has not spoken, so you must not speak out without permission! ”

Since it is the realm of gods and Buddhas, the gods and Buddhas may sneak down to the mortal world to inspect it, and by the way, it is good to bring one or two offerings to enjoy. If the generals thought so, they did not dare to be frivolous and presumptuous.

In the morning mist-filled courtyard, there was not even the singing of birds; Faintly visible in the thick shade is a quiet air.

There are many rough people who are not informal, and at this time, they may be infected by the sacred and solemn atmosphere, and a feeling of reverence and worship wells up in their hearts; Or be bound by the solemn and silent air, and the soles of the hands and feet give birth to a tightening and softening force. They bowed their heads and waited honestly for the summons to be made.

Only a few people are naturally unwilling to settle down. Their eyes were firmly on the little eunuch who was pouting and walking towards the courtyard gate.

I saw the eunuch walk to the gate of the courtyard, and lightly peeked his head into the crack in the door. In a short time, a shiny sphere appeared on the edge of the hat of the three mountains. It turned out that half of the monk's head poked out of the door.

"It turned out that the monk was preaching the scriptures with the prince, and even Grandpa Zhang didn't dare to break in! It's just that...... Who is virtuous and powerful, and can give the Son of the Scriptures and the Dharma? "One thought.

"It is said that the son of the world is the reincarnation of a boy who scatters wealth, and he is a true god. If the prince still needs a monk to preach the scriptures and teachings for him, then the true god is also very ordinary! The other thought to himself.

"Amitabha!" There was a man who was silently reciting the Buddha in his mouth, but in his heart he couldn't help but guess what it looked like inside. Teenagers talk about Buddhism, this is a big rarity!

There is also a ruthless heart: "Grandma is a mother!" Everyone knows that we have killed countless people, and when we die, we can only turn into ghosts and go down to the eighteenth layer of hell. The monk talks about compassion for the son, which is not clear to embarrass us! ”

Not speaking does not mean that the mind is stagnant; No culture does not mean that emotional intelligence is low. Please see you, and it will take a few days to get the will; Entering the mountain gate, it is a layer of security checks. Finally arrived at the gate of this courtyard, and stood in a military posture again. Although the generals did not dare to complain, they had already begun to beat the drum in their hearts:

What is the meaning of the son of the world on the Buddha?

Fortunately, the days of apprehension were short.

Soon, Gonggong Zhang came over in small steps and said that the generals could go in.

Liu Zhenfan's face was straight, and with a wave of his hand, the generals rushed in.

Crossing the threshold, an ordinary courtyard house appeared in their field of vision.

As far as the eye could see, the door of the main hall was wide open, and a two-foot-high jade Buddha sat in the middle of the shrine. And the master here, the prince and a middle-aged monk, sat cross-legged face to face under the kind gaze of the Jade Buddha, one person and one futon.

The sharp-eyed general almost screamed:

It turned out that the person who preached the scriptures with the son of the world turned out to be a young monk Dazhu, a young man who studied in Zhejiang, a middle-aged return to his hometown, a great propagation of Buddhism, and a mountain-breaking monk who is also the two lineages of Caodong and Linji!

Note 1: The ruins of Lingyan Ancient Temple do not exist. There is speculation that it should be near the East Bank Vocational and Technical College of Minjiang Second Bridge in Meishan City.
