Chapter 114: Preaching and Receiving Karma, Teaching Rebellion (1)
Time flies. On the 27th of the first month, Wu Song sent another message that his department was about to be opened. At the same time, Wang Dingliu of the state capital also sent a message that Dang Shixiong was already rectifying the soldiers, horses, and grains, and it was obvious that he would soon be about to start pulling. It's just that Lu Qian asked him to find the pigeon breeder, but there is no news for a long time.
In this era of Water Margin, manpower is too slow to deliver news, although it is safe, but the too slow speed makes Lu Qian very uncomfortable. In particular, the small shop at the entrance of Zhugui and Lijia's road is in contact with the cottage, and it is always necessary to come and go by ship. This made Lu Qian think of carrier pigeons.
In his previous life, there were people who kept pigeons and carrier pigeons next to his house. His house is on the third floor, and the uncle who keeps pigeons lives on the fifth floor. I didn't raise a few pigeons, but "pigeon droppings smell bad, pigeon feathers fly around", that's not false at all. Lu Qian's temper is not bad, and he scolded several times in his heart. Naturally, I won't come to the door to ask for the craft of raising carrier pigeons. Now he can only come up with this method and ask Wang Dingliu, Zhu Gui and others to find it. It's just that Wang Ding's six people are in the state capital, a big place, and it is easier to find.
Pigeons are not a rarity in this plane. When the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty competed, the Western Xia army used carrier pigeons as a means of communication, so that carrier pigeons also had another name - "flying slave".
Dang Shixiong's recruitment of troops is expected to be in mid-February at the latest, which is almost possible. There are still 20 days left for Liangshan.
Lu Qian was not panicked at all. The huge Liangshan, six or seven thousand men and horses, and the battalion head of the formation are a full ten, even if there is no battalion head of the broken formation of the personal guard battalion, at least 4,500 soldiers after several months of formal and strict training [Eight Continents and One Water], does he still need to be afraid of Dang Shixiong?
Speaking of this Dang Shixiong and his short-lived brother Dang Shiying, Lu Qian is very familiar with each other. In Tokyo that day, he still salivated and stammered the two brothers, but they were not looked at.
The two brothers of Dang Shixiong in their memories gave Lu Qian the impression that they were like Xiao Li Guang, standard Northern Song Dynasty martial artists. It's just that Xiao Li Guangxin has a bottom, love and hate clearly, and it can be said that he is an upright person who does not coexist with the mud, and the Dang brothers are filthy characters who coexist with the mud.
Hua Rong is the petal of the lotus, Yang Zhi is the rhizome in the mud, the villain Lu Qian in the original book is the necrotic rotten lotus, and these two brothers are the half-bad lotus root.
The Dang brothers have an identity and a certain ability, that is, they are better than Lu Qian in the original book.
But in comparison, Dang Shiying and Gao Yu are closer, and Dang Shixiong still has that uprightness. And there is also some estrangement between these two brothers, but after all, they are blood brothers, and Lu Qian never thought of convincing Dang Shixiong. In this battle, he still asks for all the biggest. It's best to eat a full bite again!
In that case, the scale of the Liangshan people will be able to advance towards 10,000 people.
On this day, Lu Qian gave Deng Yuanjue another banquet in the Golden Pavilion. The latter has also been on the mountain for some days, so he naturally knows Liangshan's strength. But the bald head didn't care about Liangshan's armor and medicine, and he didn't take a second look at Liangshan's minions' food. In his free time, he competed with Lu Zhishen.
Monk Hua can walk and ride, but Deng Yuanjue can ride a horse, but as for riding and fighting, he is just laughing, and he only fights on foot. I don't know how hot Lu Qian is when I look at Lu Qian on the side, his current strength is still a second-rate, much worse than a first-rate master.
In Lu Qian's eyes, the pinnacle of the second-rate masters in this Water Margin, or quasi-first-class masters, is Zhu Tong, Sun Li and others, and the strength of these two is even better than Liu Tang and Lei Heng. That Zhu Tong is one of the eight horses, and he is by no means a parallel import; And Sun Li's martial arts are definitely not inferior to Zhu Tong, don't care about his ranking. Only people of this level are more or less qualified to fight against Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong. Now his own strength is not successful!
Fighting with Zhu Tong is a dozen or so down, and thirty or forty is bound to be defeated. If you encounter a fierce man like Lu Zhishen, you may be knocked over in three or five rounds. Therefore, in the competition of martial arts, he would rather choose a person like Lin Chong than touch a flower monk. That Deng Yuanjue is the master of the tough confrontation with Lu Zhishen, and Lu Qian is also far away in the martial arts arena.
In the past few days, Lu Qian's archery skills have gained a lot. Although he felt that his archery skills must be much worse than the force value, but fifty paces away, he could at least land his arrows on the target. Lu Qian had a feeling in his heart that he felt that his archery skills were poor, which might be related to the C rank of archers in his class attributes. Although he didn't have the slightest evidence, that's what he thought in his heart.
Deng Yuanjue likes the location of the Golden Pavilion very much, which can not only overlook the Golden Beach camp, but also overlook the mighty Liangshan Water, which makes people's hearts suddenly broadened. It's the distant naval drill, he can see it in his eyes.
"Master, please."
Lu Qian first toasted Deng Yuanjue with a bowl of wine, and the two of them took the wine bowl and drank it all. They are already familiar with each other, talking and laughing, so they have passed three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Lu Qian stopped his chopsticks, and Deng Yuanjue also knew that the main drama was coming.
"In recent days, I have had a very fast relationship with the master, and I have heard that many heroes in the south of the Yangtze River have asked Lu to respect the leader of your sect."
Today's Fang La's masters are no more than three or five big cats and kittens on Liangshan, but there are many basic plates in Fang La's original work. Lu Qian's deep memory of the Water Margin in his mind is the Liangshan people, and the characters in Fang La's side remember Pang Wanchun and Deng Yuanjue, which can be described as very few. But now with Deng Yuanjue's dictation, he has a lot of impressions. For example, Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Si Xingfang, Lu Shinang, Pang Wanchun, and a perverted character of the Fang family, Fang Jie, Fang Tianding, etc., are all masters. Fang La's background is really not ordinarily thick, with strong flesh and bones, but there are no high-grade regular officers for the muscles, and there is no real resourceful person to do the mind.
Lu Qian greatly praised Fang La's group, and then said: "It's just that Manichaeism is a small way to spread after all, and the name of eating vegetables and demons is very dirty, and it is rejected by the gentry, even the people of the northern land don't like it." If Sect Leader Fang raised troops in the name of Manichaeism, I am afraid that there would be a big problem, and the future would be worrying, and the future would be worrying. In the past few days, Lu Qian has already learned about some matters in Manichaeism. Just like the great monk Baoguang in front of him, the reason why he is the apologetic king of Manichaeism is not because of his strong martial arts, nor because he has made meritorious contributions to Manichaeism, let alone because he wears monk's clothes and dresses as a monk. And because he is the head of the Buddhist branch of Manichaeism.
As mentioned above, in the process of changing the name of darkness, Manichaeism absorbed Buddhism, Taoism and witches and merged into one. The lineage of Buddhism mostly belongs to the White Lotus Society. At least for the time being.
Manichaeism first absorbed the Buddhist meaning of equality of all beings, the so-called "equality of law, no superiority". However, after the collision and fusion of each other, Manichaeism changed its policy again, and instead criticized the hypocrisy of Buddhism, pointing out that its essence is "that the law is equal and there is no superiority", and advocated the realization of true equality. Shilin Confucianism, which is reinforced by Manichaeism and class concepts, cannot pee in a pot.
In the current time and space, the Pure Land Buddha Association was popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was mostly called the White Lotus Society or the Lotus Society. This White Lotus Society worships Amitabha Buddha, advocates chanting Buddha and keeping precepts, and stipulates that believers do not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie or drink alcohol. It calls on believers to worship their ancestors and is a secret society that is half-monk and half-layman. Its doctrine is simple, and the Scriptures are relatively easy to understand. It was accepted by the lower classes, so it was absorbed by Manichaeism. Or rather, confluence with each other.
In order to conceal their identities and to facilitate their missionary work, many people are still dressed as Buddhists. This Deng Yuanjue is the leader of them, and therefore he is the untouchable apologetic king in Manichaeism.
Lu Qian's words made Deng Yuanjue feel harsh, but he also knew that this was the truth. Manichaeism was only spread in the south of the Yangtze River, and they also spread it to Fujian, but the local people were very xenophobic, and it has evolved into a self-contained entity for decades. This Manichaeism is still Manichaeism that can only revolve in the south of the Yangtze River.
"The people of my generation erected flags and raised troops, first, to report the pollution and injustice of the official government; The second is to resent the emperor for being mediocre and the court dark. But at the end of the day, our generation still has to think about what is behind us. "The Fangla Uprising in history is under such a banner.
"It may be absurd to overthrow Zhao and Song to dominate the world, but it can be divided into one side and called a lonely ......"
