Chapter 231: The Great Chaos in Sichuan and Shu

It has been a month since the White Lotus Sect uprising on July 7, and there is still chaos everywhere!

In fact, except for Mianyang and Guangyuan, the strength of the White Lotus Sect in the rest of the places was also very limited, and the scale of the uprising they broke out was also very limited! But with the impetus of the imperial court, the scale of the uprising turned out to be getting bigger and bigger!

However, unlike the previous peasant uprisings, this time the rebel armies in various places rarely attacked the cities and government offices, and this time there was not even a large-scale rebel army! The White Lotus disciples from all over the country rushed to the homes of the local gentry and looted them in the homes of the gentry! Of course, the homes of some of the official gentry who supported the imperial court were hardly in danger, and only those who disobeyed the orders of the imperial court were in danger! There are also many White Lotus Sect leaders who have also suffered looting in their homes, and many White Lotus Sect leaders want to cry without tears after learning that it was "their own people" who robbed their homes!

The families of the people who did not participate in the White Lotus Sect uprising, although some people were robbed, but relatively few! Most of the people who suffered were from the families of the White Lotus cultists!

It's August of the lunar calendar, and the weather has turned cooler!

In a teahouse in Chengdu, Sichuan, more than a dozen guests are sitting at several tables, and several tables are talking!

"I heard that the whole Sichuan and Shu are in chaos now! Those White Lotus disciples did all kinds of evil, and countless rich people's homes were burned! ”

"Hey, it's not just the homes of the rich, but many ordinary people's homes have also been burned! Moreover, many of them are White Lotus cultists! ”

"They are self-inflicted, cocooned and self-bound!"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"Didn't the White Lotus Sect say that it was going to establish the White Lotus Prosperous Era? Is this the White Lotus Prosperous Age? ”

"Their White Lotus is burning, killing and looting, everyone doesn't work, everyone robs others!"

"Ahh What if everyone's homes were robbed? ”

"What to do? All starved to death, of course! ”

"This White Lotus Prosperous Era is really a joke! It's a good thing we didn't join the White Lotus Sect! ”

"Yes! Fortunately, not many people in Chengdu Mansion have joined the White Lotus Cult, and now Chengdu Mansion is still quiet! ”

"Do you think the imperial court can eliminate this cult uprising?"

"No problem! Cults have no ability other than burning, killing, and looting! And now they themselves have civil strife, so there is nothing to fear! ”

"I hope that the imperial court will eliminate the cult as soon as possible and restore peace in Sichuan and Shu!"

There were five people sitting at a table next to it, and among them was a young man! This young man is not very old, but he has an indescribable temperament such as calmness and perseverance!

He's listening to the tea drinkers!

After a while, he stood up, and the rest of the table hurriedly followed!

"Let's go, go see Wu Jue!" The young man said lightly.

At the same time as the young man left the teahouse, there were "tourists" from several shops around, and these people were protecting the young man and heading towards the mansion of Chengdu Prefecture!

After a quarter of an hour, the young man came to the mansion, where Wu Jue was waiting!

"The last general, Wu Jue, see Your Majesty!" Wu Jue saluted the youth!

"No need to be polite, let's talk about the current situation in Sichuan and Shu! How many of the gentry on the list who opposed us have been eliminated now! Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 56,000 official gentry in Sichuan! Of the more than 56,000 families, more than 40,000 of them disobey the orders of the imperial court! This time, in the name of the White Lotus Sect, we infiltrated 40,000 troops everywhere, and now most of them have been wiped out! At least all their houses were burned down by us, and all their property and title deeds were destroyed in the fire! If the imperial court wants to implement the rent reduction order, it will not encounter many problems now! Wu Jue said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"However, Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has been operating in Mianyang and Guangyuan for many years, and our army can't enter there at all! Now these two places have been completely occupied by the White Lotus Sect! Wu Jiedao.

"It's just two places! To be able to exchange these two places for the destruction of the entire Sichuan and Shu gentry class, it is worth it! Zhao Chen said.

"The last general's brother Wu Lan is now leading 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the exit of the Golden Bull Road! Enough to ensure the safety of Chengdu Mansion! Wu Jue said.

"Excellent! Let the chaos go on for a while! In the name of the White Lotus Sect, we will wipe out all those who oppose the imperial court in one fell swoop! Not only the gentry, but also some so-called well-known Confucians in the local area, if they make irresponsible remarks to the imperial court, they will also be eliminated in the name of the White Lotus Sect! Zhao Chen said.

"This ......" Wu Jue stayed there.

"The propaganda department of the imperial court has entered Sichuan and Shu, and many Confucians are also resistance forces! I want to completely unite the forces of the whole country, and there will be no resistance to the slightest! Zhao Chen said.

"The last general understands!" Wu Jie hesitated for a long time and nodded.

******

It has arrived at the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and Mianyang and Guangyuan in northern Sichuan are completely under the control of the White Lotus Sect!

However, the mood of the demon queen is not very good, just this morning, the elders of the White Lotus Sect who went to Chengdu, Jiading and other places have already returned to report the situation in various places!

In the evening, the Demon Queen gathered the elders of the White Lotus Sect together again to discuss important matters!

"I asked you to make trouble in various parts of Sichuan and Shu, why is there chaos in all parts of the rest except for Mianyang and Guangyuan? We are going to start an incident, we want to occupy Sichuan and Shu, not to make chaos everywhere! More than ten elders came here, and the demon queen stared at the elders below and said coldly.

"Sect Master, this matter is very strange! I was in Chengdu, and I was going to mobilize the White Lotus Sect in all parts of Chengdu, and I was going to do something, but there was chaos in all parts of Chengdu! Our White Lotus Sect has suffered disasters in the homes of its chief disciples in various places, these leading disciples have no intention of causing trouble, and a few of us can't control the rest of the sect's disciples! Elder Zhong, who participated in the discussion that day, said.

"Why is this happening? Why did disaster befall their homes? "The Demon Queen said.

"I heard that the disciples of our sect broke into their homes, burned, killed and looted!" Elder Zhong said.

"How is this possible? It's impossible for a disciple in our sect to break into their house? The Queen of Demons said in disbelief.

"Sect Master, I also discovered something unusually strange!" Elder Zhong said again.

"What's the matter?" The Demon Queen.

"There are some places in Sichuan and Shu where there is no branch of our White Lotus Sect at all, and there are no disciples of our White Lotus Sect, but these places are also a big mess! There were also many disciples in the sect, and those disciples in the sect actually burned the homes of many officials and gentry to the ground! It's really weird! Elder Zhong said.

"This ......" The Demon Queen stayed there!

"Sect Master, we have also discovered such a thing! We also found that some of the disciples in the sect didn't obey our orders at all, and they looked like they were dressed like people from the Great Song Army! Another elder said.

"What!" The Demon Queen is stunned again!

"Sect Master, I think I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty is making us stumbling in the back! The Great Song Dynasty is full of tricks, and they also use the name of our White Lotus Sect to create chaos everywhere! Our White Lotus Sect can cause trouble, mainly because of the people's desires! All parts of Sichuan and Shu have always been disgusted with the imperial court, so they will take refuge in us! But now, after this incident, except for Mianyang and Guangyuan, the people everywhere hate our White Lotus Sect, and it is impossible for our White Lotus Sect to make trouble again! We have to stop this! Elder Zhong said.

"This ...... How so? Now what? "The Demon Queen is a little at a loss!

She was able to become the Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect by relying on her invincible martial arts! In addition, her master was the Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect back then, and he passed this position to her! She also has the ambition to establish the prosperous era of the White Lotus, but she has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and she has no political experience at all! Now that she's in an emergency, she doesn't know what to do!

"Sect Master, I have an idea in mind!" Elder Zhong said.

"What's the idea? Come on! "The Demon Queen said.

"The reason why there is chaos in various places must be that the imperial court is behind it! The imperial court is using the name of our White Lotus Sect to eliminate dissidents, and then frame us for blame! It's impossible for us to explain it now! Ordinary people won't listen to us at all! However, if the imperial court wants to do such a thing, they want to pretend to be our White Lotus Sect members, and they must rely on the army in Yuzhou, that is, the army under Wu Yu and Wu Xuan! That army only has more than 60,000 people in total, and if they want to make trouble in the entire Sichuan and Shu, I am afraid that most of the troops have been invested in various places! In other words, now Sichuan and Shu have no soldiers! Elder Zhong said.

"This ...... You're right! The Demon Queen nodded immediately.

"Our White Lotus Sect has occupied Mianyang and Guangyuan, and already has hundreds of people! We can organize the people, become an army, conquer Chengdu and Chongqing, and occupy all parts of Sichuan and Shu with the army! What does the Sect Master think? Elder Zhong said.

"Good! That's great! Senior Brother Zhong, you deserve to be the elite of the sect, our White Lotus Sect has a talent like Senior Brother Zhong, why worry about big things? The Demon Queen's face showed an expression of excitement.

"The Sect Master has won the prize!" Elder Zhong said lightly, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes!

Although his martial arts are not as good as the Demon Queen, he actually looks down on the Demon Queen in his heart! In his opinion, it was impossible for a woman from the Demon Queen to lead the White Lotus Sect to glory! The woman has long hair and short knowledge, and he looks down on a woman like the Demon Queen! Moreover, he doesn't think that the so-called "White Lotus Prosperous Era" can really be established, what he wants to establish is a court like the Great Song Dynasty! He also has his own ambitions, if this move can really succeed, he will use the White Lotus Sect to realize his dream of becoming an emperor!

"Without further ado! Then we should immediately form an army and attack Chengdu and other places? The Demon Queen looked at Elder Zhong and said.

"Not bad!" Elder Zhong nodded.

"In that case, this matter will be handed over to Elder Zhong!" The Demon Queen.

"Sect Master, if I want to form an army, I must have a name!" Elder Zhong said.

"That's right...... Let me think about it! From today on, Elder Zhong, you are my White Lotus Sect Generalissimo of the thief! "The Demon Queen said.

"Sect Master, I don't think it's as good as this, and I will be named the King of Shu! In this way, you can lead the rebel army justifiably! The young man who participated in the meeting that day, and it was the "Senior Brother Yang" who talked to Song Qingyao who stood up and said.

"King Shu? How can this be? The Queen of Demons said in disbelief.

"Sect Master, he's talking nonsense as a little kid! Don't listen to his nonsense! I'm going to organize the army! Elder Zhong said.

"Good! There's Elder Lao Zhong! The Demon Queen nodded and said.
