Chapter 82: Yingzhou City's Reaction
Xu Chengcheng, in the study of Xu Ming, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Ming looked at the news that his subordinates had sent back from Taihe Xian City, and the expression on his face had an indescribable wonderfulness.
To be honest, when Xu Ming received the news of Yingzhou's victory, he also had the idea of attacking the county seat at the first time. For this reason, he also mobilized a lot of White Lotus believers in the county, let them spread rumors in the county, and united the ruffians in the county, so that he could successfully defeat Taihe Xian.
But as soon as his plan began, Zhang Shihua was appointed as the chief city defense officer of the county. For Zhang Shihua and Zhang Shihua's inspection department archers, Xu Mingke knew very well that with the dozens of people under his command, they would never have any chance in the face of Zhang Shihua.
So Xu Ming could only give up the plan to attack the county seat. Then Xu Ming thought that since he couldn't defeat the county seat, he would simply retreat and seek the second, and wait until Liu Hufa's army came, and he would be the vanguard of the army, and leave his own people in Taihe Xian City as the back hand to attack Taihe Xian, so how could he make a contribution.
But what Xu Ming never expected was that grandma's, she hadn't rebelled yet, and you Zhang Shihua actually rebelled first. If you rebel, you will rebel, you still claim to be a hall master of the White Lotus Holy Sect, you are a stinky and shameless person, labor and management have been planning for seven or eight days, let you Zhang Shihua do this, Taihe Xian has nothing to do with him at all.
As for this news, will Liu Protector in Yingzhou City know. Isn't that nonsense, he Xu Ming knew that he was going to bury spies in Taihe Xian, could it be that Liu Protector couldn't think of it, it is estimated that now this news has been sent to Yingzhou City by Liu Protector's spies.
As for Protector Liu's reaction after seeing this news? Fools will know that Protector Liu will be very happy when he sees this news. After all, the Zhang family, who is too strong and strong, has to rebel and defect to the White Lotus Sect, which can prove that the White Lotus Sect's uprising is the destiny of heaven, so Liu Protector will definitely push the boat along the river and appoint Zhang Shihua as the real master of the White Lotus Hall.
Even in order to gain a good reputation, Liu Protector definitely doesn't mind playing a thousand gold to buy bones, and takes the opportunity to canonize the entire Taihe Xian to Zhang Shihua, anyway, Taihe Xian was beaten down by Zhang Shihua, and such a canonization of Liu Protector will not lose anything.
But in this way, he will be embarrassed, after all, if he Zhang Shihua becomes the master of the White Lotus Hall of Taihe Xian, then what is he, his subordinate?
Thinking of this, Xu Ming always felt that he was not so comfortable in his heart. But then again, if Protector Liu really decides to do this, can he stop it? The answer is obvious, I really can't get involved in this matter, and it seems that there is really no second way to go except to accept my fate.
Case. Xu Ming's face was ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Then the labor and management will hug Zhang Shihua's thigh, what else, can you fight with him?" With the Zhang family controlling a county in one day, they can't fight it themselves. In this case, it is better to correct your position as soon as possible, after all, 'those who know the times are handsome'. ”
And just as Xu Ming was thinking in the study, how to hug Zhang Shihua's thigh so that he could be reused by Zhang Shihua.
A secret report that was far more detailed than that written by Xu Ming's spies was also urgently delivered to Yingzhou City by a spy placed by Liu Futong in Taihe Xian City.
In the government office of Yingzhou City, when Liu Futong received this secret report and read the contents of the secret report, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face. Then he saw Liu Futong waving his hand and shouting, and the White Lotus Sect soldier who was guarding outside the door said to the soldier: "Go and invite all the hall masters to come and say that this Dharma Protector has to be announced." ”
When the soldier heard Liu Futong's words, he bent down and said "obey", then walked out of the mansion quickly and invited the hall masters to go.
And many hall masters in Yingzhou City, although they felt a little strange about Liu Protector's announcement of important matters at this time, they did not dare to slack off, but as soon as they received the order, they rushed to the mansion with their personal guards and horses.
Because Du Zundao was the farthest away from the government, he was the last to receive the news, and he was also the last to arrive at the government.
And several other hall masters in the front hall of the government also got up to greet Du Zundao when they saw Du Zundao coming. After all, in the current White Lotus Sect, Du Zundao's status is second only to Liu Futong, and he also has 500 elite soldiers under him, and he is the real second-in-command.
And Du Zundao naturally will not be held up because of this, seeing this, he also returned the salute with a smile. And after everyone arrived, Liu Futong also stepped out of the back hall in a moment.
When everyone in the hall saw Liu Futong come out, they naturally hugged their fists and bent down to salute Liu Futong and said, "The last general (lower official) will meet the marshal." ”
The reason why everyone is known as a marshal is that after Liu Futong captured Yingzhou City, he fought against the Yuanmeng court in order to establish the legitimacy of the White Lotus regime. He declared to the outside world that the White Lotus Sect was the order of Huode, and changed the White Lotus Sect army to the Red Turban Army, and the whole army fought with red scarves tied to their heads.
Then he promulgated the payment document, which was written "Poor in the south of the Yangtze River, rich in the north" to arouse the dissatisfaction and resistance of the people at the bottom of the Yuan and Mongolian courts, and set up the political goal of "reaching Youyan and reopening the Emperor and Song Dynasty", and therefore he also officially posthumously crowned the former White Lotus sect leader Han Shantong as the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and called himself Runing Wanhu Mansion Wanhu, the marshal of the HN Red Turban Army.
Then Liu Futong took this as the foundation, and successively canonized various official positions in the Red Turban Army, such as Du Zundao was canonized as the prefect of Runing Mansion, Sheng Wenyu was canonized as the prefect of Yingzhou, Luo Wensu became the deputy Wanhu of Wanhu Mansion, and Han Yan'er and others were canonized as Qianhu, in short, the whole army of Bailian Red Turban became a general overnight.
And at this time, when Liu Futong sat on the high hall, after receiving a salute from everyone in the hall, he also asked everyone to be exempted with a smile, and after everyone in the hall sat down, Liu Futong said to everyone with a smile: "When my army promulgated the document and took the lead in rebelling against the army, I expected that there would be heroes in the world, and I was willing to raise the banner of righteousness with our army and seek a great cause." But I never thought that when our army was just rising, there would be heroes to vote. ”
When everyone in the hall heard Liu Futong's words, they also guessed in their hearts: "The heroes are like-minded, where are the heroes, why don't we know." However, before everyone could ask questions, Liu Futong asked one of the soldiers in the hall to take a few pieces of paper and hand them to the generals in the hall in turn.
When everyone in the hall read what was written on the paper, their faces showed different expressions, some happy and some surprised. Looking at Liu Futong again, he didn't say anything at this time, but looked at everyone in the hall with a smile, looking a little unfathomable.
But the silence in the hall did not last too long, that is, for a moment, Du Zundao got up first and said to Liu Futong and everyone in the hall: "Marshal, this matter is really a great joy!" The occurrence of this incident shows that the luck of the Yuanmeng Tartars has been exhausted, and the hearts of the people in the world are in my Wang Shi and in my Emperor Song! ”
And there are people in the hall who are quick to react, and when they heard Du Zundao's words, they immediately patted their assers and said: "The people of the world think of the emperor and the Song Dynasty, and the officials congratulate the marshal, and the great cause of our emperor and the Song Dynasty will be able to succeed immediately." When the generals heard this, they naturally congratulated one after another.
When Liu Futong in the hall heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, but it was not because of the sycophancy of the people in the hall, but because of Du Zundao's popular opinion.
In fact, if it is just a Taihe Xian, it is nothing to Liu Futong, because even if there is no Zhang Shihua, he can still defeat Taihe Xian in two days. But with the initiative of the Zhang family, the meaning is different, you must know that the Zhang family is a powerful landlord, since they can take the initiative to join, doesn't it mean that the White Lotus Sect has been recognized by the landlord class.
Besides, with the Zhang family taking the lead, as long as Liu Futong can put on a posture of buying bones, are you afraid that there will not be a second or third one similar to the Zhang family? And this is the reason why Liu Futong is really happy.
But there is still one thing to do now, that is, how to come up with this gesture of buying bones, as for whether the Zhang family really joined the Red Turban Army, since they have already boarded the boat, can they still regret it?
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Futong said to everyone with a smile: "Brothers, let's talk about this Zhang family, what should we do with Zhaofu?" Although Liu Futong had a plan in his heart, he still asked, after all, Liu Futong, as the marshal of the Red Turban Army, naturally had to listen to the opinions of the people below, and Liu Futong could also take this opportunity to see who would agree with his own ideas.
