Chapter 585: The Secret of Manichaeism
As soon as he started his hand, he went straight to the granary, and it was really ruthless enough!
Wei Renpu couldn't help but be anxious, now that there is another plague in the city, there are still so many displaced people who have not been completely dismissed, if there is no food, people's hearts are fluctuating, maybe they will really let the traitors succeed.
"Champion Hou! You see? Lao Wei couldn't help but ask.
Ye Hua remained silent and smiled indifferently, "Wei Xianggong, just a few thieves, how much wind and waves can be set off, and relax." ”
Lao Wei snorted, "Master Hou, the sage handed over Jinling to you and me, now Jinling's safety is not only a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but also related to His Majesty's personal conquest, if the back road is cut off, the 300,000 army will be dangerous!" ”
Ye Hua smiled and nodded, "Wei Xianggong is worried about Your Majesty, of course I know, please rest assured that Wei Xianggong is more worried than anyone else." However, at the moment, we can't dance with our opponents, how they make moves, how we can deal with them passively, that will only fall into the disadvantage, be calculated by the enemy, and we must take the initiative in a war. ”
"Can the old man not understand this truth?" Wei Renpu said in a deep voice: "The question now is who is instigating the riot? Sun Sheng said that it was the Xie family, but the old man didn't believe it. ”
"I don't believe it either." Ye Hua said with a smile: "In a hurry, it is very difficult to find the black hand. But why don't we think differently. ”
"What's the way of thinking?" Wei Renpu asked curiously.
"Wei Xianggong, excluding these bells and whistles, what is the most important thing if you want to shake Jinling?"
"Of course, it's military power!" Wei Renpu simply said: "Jinling has a million people, how can you take the city if you don't get enough military power?" Lao Wei blurted out, and he slapped his head suddenly!
"Oh, the old man is really confused!" Wei Renpu immediately understood what Ye Hua meant, what attack on the granary was simply a bluff to distract them.
Chai Rong drove the expedition in person, and took away most of the troops and generals, although there are not many people in Jinling at the moment, but the forbidden army of the Great Zhou still has a numerical advantage, not to mention the combat effectiveness.
In this case, the rebellion could not succeed in any case.
So if you want to be successful, you have to find enough people.
Are there soldiers and horses around Jinling?
There really is!
That is the original Yangtze River Water Division!
After Li Hongji desperately expanded, the Yangtze River Sailor once approached 100,000.
There were a lot of losses in the battle, and many were absorbed by the Great Zhou, but there were still thirty or fifty thousand.
After entering Jinling, the Great Zhou Navy Division was upgraded to the Royal Navy, and Ren Tianxing selected a group of sturdy ships, giant ships that could withstand the wind and waves, and went on an expedition to Annam.
As for some small fortune boats, sand boats, and sampans were left in Jinling, there were almost more than 30,000 sailors, stationed in the Qinhuai River area.
Originally, the sailors should have been dismissed, granted land, and allowed to return home to live and work in peace.
It's just that the Great Zhou lacks an excellent navy, not only does it have no generals, but also no sailors, so the Yangtze River Naval Division is temporarily retained, waiting to draw available talents from it in the future.
The time was too short to be resolved, and the rebellion broke out.
"In any case, we must stabilize the water master first!"
Wei Renpu finally found out what the problem was, "Master Hou, hurry up and send someone!" ”
Ye Hua smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Wei Xianggong, a few days ago, I asked Chen Shi to monitor the Yangtze River Sailors, and I had already sent the order down just now." ”
Lao Wei took a deep breath, and once mentioned that his throat and eyes fell back a lot.
Although Ye Hua is shrewdly annoying at the moment, at the critical moment, he is still powerful, he can think of things that others can't think of, lay out in advance, and start early.
Standing with him, at least this old life will not be in danger......
Now for Ye Hua and Lao Wei, the most important thing is to stabilize their position, deal with it calmly, and then find out the black hand who instigated the rebellion as soon as possible and cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
However, they have too little information in their hands, and this is also a matter of no choice, who let Da Zhou just occupy Jiangnan for a few months, even if he has great magical powers, he can't do everything in such a short time.
"I still have to interrogate Sun Sheng!"
The two of them came to the prison together, and at this time, Sun Sheng, as well as his family, were all imprisoned.
Sun Xianggong, who has always been pampered, was put in a dark, damp, cold, foul-smelling, cramped, and dirty prison, and the whole person was not good.
He was disheveled, like crazy, and kept reaching out and scratching, as if every inch of skin was itching badly, and he scratched hard, and in a few clicks, he scratched out the blood, but it became more uncomfortable.
No wonder it is said that if you go to prison, you will die nine times and live a life, which is true!
"Sun Xianggong, don't you have anything to say?"
Sun Sheng paused, his scratching hands stopped, and he looked up blankly, "I, what else can I say?" ”
"Whatever!" Ye Hua said lightly: "Now someone is attacking the granary and wants to create chaos. It looks like I have captured you, the other party has already acted in advance, the rebellion is imminent, and the outcome is unpredictable. I'd love to hear your opinion, who will win and who will lose, you can talk casually. ”
Sun Sheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled sadly, "Master Hou, the old man took the liberty to ask, how did you know that I cheated to death?" ”
"Two o'clock!" Ye Hua said simply: "I am familiar with the characteristics of the spread of the plague, usually sick for a few days, ten days, and the possibility of sudden death is not high!" There is another ......" Ye Hua took a deep breath, "I just cooked the day before, and the ginger juice on Ling Lang's sleeve was too strong!" ”
"Ahh
Sun Sheng's old face was distorted, the color changed, he didn't know how to describe it, he was shrewd all his life, and finally lost on ginger ale!
Can't you really cry about those damn little brutes?
Why did the old man give birth to a few useless wastes?
Sun Sheng sighed for a while, as if he had accepted his fate.
He pondered: "Master Hou is like a god with soldiers, and he is alert, but he can not be arrogant or impatient, and he is observant, so he naturally has a great chance of winning." However, it is best for Hou Ye not to despise his opponent, because as far as the old man knows, the power of the Xie family is really not small. ”
Wei Renpu said in a sullen voice: "Sun Sheng, the Xie family has gone downhill since the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are no famous officials in the Sui and Tang dynasties. On the contrary, the Langya Wang clan and the Xiao clan have several famous ministers, how dare you say that the Xie family still has power? ”
"Hahaha, Wei Xianggong, if you have strength, do you want to be an official? Or is it only in the career that there is power? ”
"What do you mean?"
"In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a famous rebellion of Sun En, Sun En was born in a family, worshiped the Five Dou Mi Sect, he originally planned to raise an army against the Jin, the opportunity was not secret, and it was known. He led the crowd and fled to the sea, and used the island as a stronghold to frequently attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”
Sun Sheng told the story, perhaps many people don't know, Sun En is known as the "ancestor of pirates", the Sun family lives in the southeast, has a deep foundation, but the clothes are in the south, Wang Xie and other big families moved to the south of the Yangtze River, redefined the family level, and the Sun family became a second-class scholar.
This incident shocked Sun En very much, after he led his subordinates to rise up, he frequently attacked from the sea, and whenever he captured a place, he would wantonly kill Wang Xie and other family members, among which the Xie family suffered the most heavy losses, which indirectly caused the decline of the Xie family.
The Xie family suffered this loss, they learned from the pain, and began to pay attention to those deserted islands on the sea, they sent some children to the sea, occupied the islands, engaged in trade, and the children of the Xie family in the inland gradually disappeared from the officialdom and put their efforts on business. Sui and Tang dynasties, the capital of Chang'an, five surnames and seven sects of the geographical advantage, strong, the southeast of the Xiao Wang family declined, but the Xie family walked out of a different road, in the Kaiyuan years, the Xie children had been to Tianzhu and other places, trafficking goods. Later, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty relied on the financial support of the southeast, and a canal kept Li Tang's country for one hundred and fifty years, and the Xie family controlled seventy percent of the canal's volume! ”
"Nonsense!"
Wei Renpu said angrily: "You said that the Xie clan controls Cao Yun, why hasn't there been much news coming out, are the Xie clans all ghosts?" Can people turn a blind eye? ”
"It's not that you turn a blind eye, but you see it but don't know it." Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Wei Xianggong, do you know who the biggest force on the canal is?" ”
"Naturally, it's the Caokou Gang."
"And who's behind the Caokou Gang?"
Wei Renpu frowned, "Could it be the Xie family?" ”
Sun Sheng shook his head, "It's the Five Bucket Rice Sect!" ”
"What?" The more Lao Wei listened, the more he didn't like it, "You just said that the Sun family is a member of the Five Dou Rice Sect, how did it become the Xie family?" ”
"What's so hard to explain about that." Sun Sheng said with a smile: "Sun En's army was defeated and died in the river, and there were hundreds of people who committed suicide with him, all of whom were disciples of the Five Doumi Sect. It's just that after Sun En's death, the Five Doumi Sect is gone? ”
Ye Hua finally spoke, "According to what you said, the Xie family controls the Five Dou Rice Sect?" ”
"That's right, it's still the champion Hou Minrui." Sun Sheng said with a smile: "The Xie family has prospered for hundreds of years, but it has been planted in the hands of Sun En, can they not reflect on themselves?" ”
"So they found a way to replace the Sun family and control the Five Doumi Sect?"
"Hmm!"
"And how do you know?"
"Me?" Sun Sheng suddenly smiled, "Master Hou, what's the old man's surname?" ”
Yes!
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hua and Wei Renpu finally came to their senses.
It turned out that Sun Sheng was a member of the Sun family, and it was not surprising that they had grievances with the Xie family, and they knew each other.
"Champion Hou, Wei Xianggong, the old decay won't live for a few days." Sun Sheng coughed as he spoke, "Let me tell you one more thing, Manichaeism was actually created by the people of the Five Doumi Sect. ”
Ye Hua said: "How did I hear that Manichaeism is from the Persian side? ”
"That's right, it's just that the champion Hou forgot, the people of the Xie family also went to Tianzhu by sea, they introduced the classics of Manichaeism, merged with the Wudoumi Sect, and brought forth the new, so that there is today's Manichaeism in Jiangnan! Master Hou, you know now, who is doing it right with you, right? ”
Sun Sheng's cough became more and more severe, with blood in his sputum, and his throat was buzzing like a bellows.
At this time, Li Yan broke in, and when he saw him, he said eagerly: "Senior brother, the hundreds of people who attacked the granary have all been wiped out by General Gao Huaide, and General Gao has discovered this on them!" ”
As he spoke, Li Xi took out an oiled paper bag, and after unfolding it, there was a piece of human skin with a tattoo in the shape of the sun and moon......
