217 Another kind of rebellion
When I watched "Water Margin" back then, I once ridiculed the gang on Shuibo Liangshan for their low level of rebellion, and there was basically no plan for their actions, that is, they did whatever they wanted, and the war was even more dependent on luck, and only three points were based on planning. But he has been staring at the Maitreya Sect for several years, and judging from the information that Zheng En has found out from within the Maitreya Sect, the level of this Maitreya Sect is not as good as that of Liangshan heroes.
Such an organization is of course a threat to the Great Song Dynasty like a crooked building, but it is really nothing to a time-traveler like Li Buqi who has seen the world. The current situation is that Li Buqi has a way to make the sect leader and his subordinates die, but Li Buqi is now thinking about how to squeeze out the value of the Maitreya Sect, for example, Zheng En heard that the Maitreya Sect has a way to get the army's standard weapons and armor a few years ago, and Li Buqi is ready to intervene.
Li Buqi asked: "Has the matter of the Maitreya Sect getting weapons been clarified?" ”
"It's all clear. It was Gao Tansheng who saw that there was more money and food in the sect and wanted to buy armor and weapons. And there were Maitreya sectists among the small officials and guards in the arsenal of Bianliang and the Daimyo's Mansion, so Gao Tansheng arranged this matter. It's just that if you steal weapons from the arsenal, you need to bribe the officials in charge of the arsenal to be unaware. ”
"The official said that this matter was very important, and since I was asked to discipline the money and food, I recommended myself to take care of the matter. The leaders of the Maitreya Sect were so frightened that they didn't want to come to Bianliang, so Gao Tansheng readily agreed with me to take care of the matter. I also used the excuse that the government's precautions must be lax during the New Year, so I came back to get money during the New Year. There are others in the Daimyo's Mansion who are in charge. ”
Li Buqi said: "How is this thing done now? ”
"It's not that hard. The officials of the arsenal were already looking at the other warehouses pouring things out, but no one dared to ask for weapons and armor, so there was no way to exchange money. It was just agreed yesterday that after the yamen opened the seal, a batch of weapons would be eliminated on the grounds that the weapons were rotting due to rain leakage in the warehouse, and as for where the eliminated things went, few people asked. In a few days, the warehouse will be insufficient, and some unusable old goods will have to be eliminated, and another batch will be made. ”
Li Buqi sighed: This Great Song Dynasty has raised such a bold group of rats in less than a hundred years. The ancients said that "the country is unfortunate and the poet is lucky", but in fact, there is also "the country is unfortunate and the rat is lucky".
He said: "In that case, you should tell the people of the arsenal that the people of the Maitreya sect will pick up the goods at the agreed place outside the city, and to the people of the Maitreya sect that the people of the arsenal will deliver the goods to the agreed place." Our people will take over. ”
Zheng En nodded: "This method is good." It's just that the Daimyo's Mansion doesn't know how many weapons will flow into the hands of the Maitreya Sect, will there be chaos? ”
Li Buqi said: "You can find a way to eat black over there, you can just try to get the information over there." ”
After talking about the weapon, Li Buqi took advantage of this rare opportunity to meet directly and asked Zheng En to tell him in detail about the character of the main leader of the Maitreya Sect and the secrets of the sect. When I heard Zheng En say that the life of the leader of the sect has become more and more extravagant recently, and many people often go to Zheng En's place to fight the autumn breeze, Li Bu gave up.
As expected, this kind of reckless hero is the most easily corrupted by money, and it seems that Maitreya may not be able to escape the curse of corruption. Corrupt organizations don't have to worry, and when most of them are corrupted, they will purge themselves of the bosses who still maintain their ideals.
In order for Maitreya to corrupt a little faster, it is necessary to give them more wealth. Li Buqi gave Zheng En another idea, asking the Maitreya Sect to open a sea route to trade in the land of Yanyun in the Liao State.
People who grow up on land always have a heartfelt fear of the sea, but the believers are more able to put life and death out of the way, and they don't see that the monks from the Central Plains who went to Japan to preach the Dharma and the Japanese monks who went to the Central Plains to seek the Dharma were not afraid of the angry sea. Moreover, although the organizational ability of the Maitreya Sect is really unsightly for Li Buqi, it is also organized, so it is actually more advantageous for the Maitreya Sect to open up sea routes than for Li Buqi to operate.
As for the fact that Maitreya has no talent for navigation, what is this? Li Buqi can find it for them.
After talking for more than an hour, Li Buqi arranged Zheng En's future work in detail, and Li Buqi and Zhang Yingniang quietly slipped out of the courtyard and into the alley. Seeing that there was no one before and after, Zhang Yingniang whispered: "The officials are really calculating, I'm afraid they can compare to Zhuge and Zhou Yu in the story of the Three Kingdoms." But what's the point of watching so many people and officials fight against them, and the officials deal with them cautiously all day long? ”
Li Buqi knew that Zhang Yingniang had never been able to let go of the idea of rebellion, so he also lowered his voice and said, "What? You want to persuade me to rebel again? If the rebellion really worked, then I would definitely rebel, but again, the rebellion is really useless now. What if he became an emperor himself? The emperor is not really alone, and if he loses the support of others, he will die immediately without a place to be buried. ”
"Be a good emperor and a good official, and the people will support you."
Li Buqi laughed: "The people support a fart!" Yingniang, let Zhao Min teach you to read some history books. Then you will understand that though the people are many and the power is great, it is difficult to wield them. And once it is used, it is often like a flood bursting the embankment, a volcano erupting, thousands of miles of red land, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and it will be finished together regardless of whether we are enemies or enemies. Therefore, most emperors will only rely on a single person with great strength, and cannot rely on the people with great overall strength, and there is no way to rely on it. Now it's like this, whoever is the emperor is the same, what do you say I'm tossing around? ”
Zhang Yingniang sighed and said, "It turns out that the officials really don't want to rebel. ”
Li Buqi said: "Actually, in addition to the kind of rebellion you have seen, there is another method, which is more suitable for officials and me." Because I'm not an ordinary person anymore. ”
Zhang Yingniang said "oh" to express curiosity, and Li Buqi said: "Do you know that some insects will lay eggs in other insects, and when the eggs hatch, the larvae will feed on the insects." When the larvae grow, the original parasitic worm is eaten until only a layer of skin remains. There are also plants that plant seeds in the body of the bug, allowing the bug to provide nutrients for the growth of the offspring, and eventually turning the bug into a part of the plant. This is also a rebellion, but the good thing is that nothing is wasted. ”
"Officials want to use this method to rebel?"
"yes. If you don't believe me, we'll see. If things go well, it will work in a few decades, and as long as it takes one or two hundred years, the people will not be what they are now at the mercy of others, and the kind of peaceful world that your father wanted when he rebelled will definitely be realized. ”
Zhang Yingniang couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment when she heard Li Buqi mention his father, and said after a while: "Then shouldn't my father have rebelled at that time?" ”
Li Buqi shook his head like a rattle: "If it is uneven, it will sound!" You don't resist the officials, you still think you're comfortable, and you still don't intensify the oppression and looting? So there's nothing wrong with your father's rebellion, it's just that I'm not in the same position as him. ”
Speaking of this, Li Buqi glanced at Zhang Yingniang: "Have you taken it?" ”
Zhang Yingniang's heart suddenly beat fast, her face was slightly red, she nodded, and immediately lowered her head. But I heard Li Buqi say: "Luo Xiucai and they have also been going to Tanluo for a long time, if you want them to go and see their current situation, you can save worry." ”
When Zhang Yingniang heard that it was not what she thought, she suddenly felt a nameless fire in her heart, and snorted heavily: "Hmph! Naturally, I should go to my brother's place, and it would be unjustifiable to stay in your house anyway. ”
After saying that, she shook her face and walked to the front with her head held high. Li Buqi touched his chin: Well, it seems that the heat is almost over.
