108, Buddhism is the main sect of Zhenrong
After Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed, they divided the 5,000 new soldiers recruited to Pang Yan and Tai Shici. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this way, the strength of Pang Yan's subordinates is calculated, the original Liyang soldiers are nearly 3,000, Sun Ce is more than 1,000, nearly 1,000 Wang's private soldiers, more than 2,000 Liyang new soldiers and more than 800 Wujun people brought by Ling Cao, plus the 2,000 Danyang new soldiers this time, almost make up nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
As for Mu Lan, who was temporarily in charge of the remaining 3,000 auxiliaries in Liyang Jingzhuang, Zhu Wei allowed her to select another 5,000 auxiliaries from the tens of thousands of Danyang households that were coerced.
In this way, Mu Lan can lead 8,000 auxiliaries as a reserve army, on the one hand, when Pang Yan and Tai Shici are in battle, these auxiliaries can help them do logistical support, and on the other hand, they can also supplement these same auxiliaries as regular pawns at any time.
At the same time, Zhu Wei also asked Mu Lan to serve as the commander of his own personal guards, and now asked Mu Lan to select about 1,000 personal guards and train them specially.
Zhu Wei doesn't plan to select the personal guards around him from the elites of various armies, now that his family is thin, these elites are still used on the battlefield, anyway, from now on, Zhu Wei rarely fights, if it really comes to this time, it means that he has been defeated.
And to protect a general like Zhu Wei, the personal guards actually don't care about their fighting ability, the first thing they need is loyalty, and the second training is how to defend and how to escort Zhu Wei from the dangerous battlefield.
In this way, Mu Lan was directly selected from the young and strong in Lingyang County, and with their families under the control of Zhu Wei, the loyalty of these guards naturally did not have to worry, as for training or something, take your time.
Zhu Wei felt that such an arrangement could be justified in front of Liu Xuan, and it was also necessary for the more than 10,000 troops to recruit some auxiliaries, not to mention the pro-guards.
Although Pang Yan was a little greedy for the 3,000 Danyang recruits that Tai Shi Ci had taken away, he could think that he now had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he was satisfied for the time being.
As for Tai Shici's identity as a guest general, but now Zhu Wei can actually give him 3,000 Danyang soldiers, and will give him enough armor, so he is naturally satisfied.
In such a situation, Tai Shici can be regarded as the only one on Liu Xuan's side, and he knows that his identity is a little embarrassing, so he naturally does not have too high requirements.
Only Mu Lan was a little unhappy, although she could also lead Zhu Wei's personal guards, but this was tantamount to placing her in the second line, and there was no chance to directly lead the troops.
But this is the decision of Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, and Mu Lan has no way to oppose it.
In this way, Zhu Wei's side has determined the issue of troops, and then he is thinking about the next arrangement.
According to Wang Yuyan's plan, Zhu Wei also needs to stay in Lingyang County for at least three to six months to train his troops, and during this period, he can also see the effect of Tuntian.
Then, after harvesting the grain and grass in the tuntian, he moved everyone to Yuzhang and officially launched an attack on Yuzhang.
And the spies sent by Wang Yuyan to Yuzhang to spy on intelligence also sent back some news, and now Zhenrong is building temples, Buddha statues, and stupas in Yuzhang County with great fanfare, and is also collecting money in various counties and townships in Yuzhang County to meet his various expenses.
It is said that Zhenrong has used some trumped-up charges in Yuzhang County, raided more than a dozen houses of local Haoqiang families in Yuzhang County, not only collected their family property money and grain, but also reduced their clansmen to slave labor.
Obviously, this Zhenrong has made some unpopular in the Yuzhang area, and has been regarded as a vicious enemy by the large and small families in the Yuzhang area.
This really made Zhu Wei wonder whether this Zhenrong was really a fanatical Buddhist or a hypocritical cult leader.
Think about it, this Zhenrong originally spent many years packaging himself as a celebrity, and then took hundreds of people to Xuzhou to seek refuge in Tao Qian, and deceived Tao Qian's trust and went to Xiapi to take up the post of state minister, specifically responsible for Tao Qian's collection of grain and local tribute for Guangling County, Xiapi County and Pengcheng County.
As a result, after Zhenrong obtained the grain and tribute handed over by the three counties, he did not send them to Tao Qian in Xuzhou, but filled his own pockets and took them for his own use.
Well, if you want to say that you are really filling your pocket, you really can't be sure.
In fact, Zhenrong did not embezzle these grains and belongings, but used them to build temples, Buddha statues, and stupas on a large scale in Xiapi County.
Then Zhenrong decreed that all Buddhists in Xiapi could be exempted from the levy tax, and all Buddhists from nearby counties and counties could be exempted from the levy tax.
At the same time, Zhenrong held a "Buddha bathing meeting" in Xiapi many times.
Every time there is a grand meeting, a lot of wine and rice are placed on the roadside, and the feast stretches for dozens of miles, and the poor people of many nearby counties and counties, and Buddhist believers have come to Xiapi, worshipping Buddha, rubbing rice, each time there are about 10,000 people, and each time there are hundreds of millions of dollars.
It can be said that Zhen Rong basically used all this money and food for Buddhist affairs, and by the way, he also expanded his power for himself, trained fanatical Buddhist soldiers, and had nearly 10,000 troops and tens of thousands of people who believed in Buddhism and supported him.
This is also the reliance of Zhenrong all the way from Xiapi to Guangling, and then to Moling, Yuzhang, Huo, Zhao Yu, Xue Li, and Zhu Hao, swallowing their territory.
So now after Zhenrong gained a foothold in Yuzhang, he began to engage in a set of Xiapi, wanting to use the religious system to achieve his rule over Yuzhang, but it would cost a lot of money to buy people's hearts.
He coerced so many people all the way from Xiapi to Yuzhang, and he had already spent a lot of money and food.
Although he plundered Guangling halfway, annexed Moling, and controlled Yuzhang, he still could not meet his expenses on Buddhist affairs.
When he was in Xiapi before, Zhen Rong could be said to be generous to others, using the money and food of the three counties of Xuzhou to meet his Buddhist needs, and helping him buy people's hearts.
But now it doesn't work, Yuzhang is not rich, plus Zhenrong has just won Yuzhang, the local people in Yuzhang, mainly those who have money, food and land, and the powerful families may not believe in Buddhism.
Naturally, the local people in Yuzhang refused to take out money to support Dirong to build temples, Buddha statues, stupas and other inexplicable things, nor would they take money out to support Dirong to promote Buddhism.
But Di Rong had no money in his hands, but he still wanted to forcibly let the people of Yuzhang County believe in Buddhism and become Buddhists.
How can this faith be forced?
As a result, the situation in Yuzhang County became a tyranny in religious politics, and if you don't believe it, you will die.
Maybe it was because Zhen Rong came all the way from Xiapi to Yuzhang to loot, so if the local rich and wealthy clans and powerful clans did not support him, he would directly list the charges of robbing his family and money, and arresting people as slaves.
It can really be regarded as the prosperity of those who follow me, and the death of those who oppose me.
The effect of this is still good, compared to Zhu Wei's move of pretending to be a thief and robbing the local powerful clan in Lingyang County, Zhen Rong did it more straightforwardly and without scruples, so he quickly got a lot of money and food, and he could continue to promote his Buddhist affairs......
