After Zhen Rong got money and food from those scholars and powerful clans, he used the means of buying people's hearts for ordinary people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just like what Zhen Rong did in Xiapi before, as long as the common people of Yuzhang became Buddhists, they could also be exempted from forced labor and taxes.

On the surface, it seems that Zhenrong really looks like a Buddhist master who spares no effort and means to promote Buddhism.

However, Zhu Wei felt that Zhenrong was a bit like a cult leader who was actually seeking personal gain in the name of Buddhism.

Because Buddhists can be exempted from official forced labor, Buddhists also have the responsibility to make offerings to the temple, and since you are a believer in Buddhism, you naturally have to contribute to Buddhism, otherwise how can you prove your piety?

But there is no limit to the amount of money you offer to the temple, so it can be said that the more you worship, the more pious it becomes.

Therefore, this is tantamount to turning the taxes that should have been paid to the government into the private wealth of Buddhism that he can use at will in the name of worshiping the temple.

In this way, Zhenrong can naturally use the money and food from these offerings to cultivate his Buddhist soldiers, in fact, there is still a taste of self-reliance.

Just like Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, it was as the Heavenly Master of Wudou Midao, and finally became a warlord in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, but Wudou Midao has a deep foundation in Han, and this Zhenrong still has some heritage in Xuzhou, but now Yuzhang is an outsider after all.

In this way, he forcibly promoted Buddhism, and naturally met with local resistance.

Anyway, now the spies sent by Wang Yuyan to Yuzhang came back to report that Zhenrong was building temples, Buddha statues and pagodas on the side of Yuzhang County, and many of the children of the gate lords who were raided by Zhenrong were demoted to slave labor, and were doing various fortifications under the custody of Buddhist soldiers.

According to Zhenrong, this is atonement, which can be accumulated for the next life.

However, such a move by Di Rong will naturally attract the resistance of those large and small gate valve families in Yuzhang, and from the current situation in Yuzhang, it seems that Di Rong only controls the county town of Yuzhang and several surrounding counties for the time being, and there are many other counties and villages in a semi-independent state.

In this way, it can be understood why Liu Miao was able to re-raise troops and horses from Yuzhang counties in a short period of time after being defeated by Zhenrong at the beginning, and finally defeated Zhenrong.

Obviously, the soldiers and horses that Liu Miao got were the private soldiers provided by those gate valve families in Yuzhang County, and Liu Miao should have relied on his identity as a clan member of the Han family to get the support of the gate lord clans in these places.

However, in the area actually controlled by Zhenrong, Zhenrong's power is still relatively strong.

The common people in this place were brainwashed by Zhenrong with Buddhist scriptures, and gradually became fanatical believers under the control of Zhenrong, so that they would dare to fight with any invader if they were loyal to the Buddha in this life and atone for their sins in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Liu Miao crusaded against Zhen Rong and was defeated by Zhen Rong at the beginning.

Zhu Wei can still remember the madness and horror of the fighting of the Buddhist soldiers under Zhu Rong, which is still Zhu Wei's inner demon.

However, according to the information sent back by the spies, the area actually controlled by Zhenrong really had the taste of a paradise on the surface, at least Zhenrong would not let the Buddhists under his control go hungry.

Even if he ran out of food, he would be able to go elsewhere and grab food to meet the food needs of the Buddhists under his rule.

At the same time, the Buddhist faith also allows Buddhists to be obedient and humble in ordinary times, so there is really a kind of meaning of leaving no stone unturned in the actual control area of Zhenrong.

Outsiders who enter the area under the control of Zhenrong will also be well received by those Buddhist believers, as if everyone is a kind and good person, but they will always promote Buddhism to you and encourage you to become a Buddhist as well.

Zhu Wei felt that Zhenrong was like creating a strange realm in Yuzhang, which looked like a paradise on the surface, but in fact it was a terrifying place under the cover of light.

Once you touch the scales of these Buddhists, you will find that they are all going to turn into terrifying demonic madmen.

According to the information sent back by the spies, Wang Yuyan came to a conclusion that if you want to deal with Zhenrong, you must train an elite army, so that you can rely on the command of Ruoding's military formation to fight against Zhenrong's crazy Buddhist soldiers who are not afraid of death.

If an ordinary army encounters these Buddhist soldiers, it is very likely that they will be frightened by their madness that they are not afraid of death.

Only trained elite soldiers can fight against crazy Buddhist soldiers, just like the methods used by the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty to deal with those Taoist fanatics known as Yellow Turban Lux when they surrounded and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army before.

That is, with a neat military formation, these Yellow Turban wrestlers who also have a bit of crazy belief cannot get close, and can only be slaughtered by the well-armed Han army.

Although Zhu Wei now has these soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses are basically recruits and soldiers, lacking the spirit of battle, once they encounter the crazy Buddhist soldiers under the tent, they will definitely collapse.

So it's also a must to spend a few months training.

At the same time, this period of military training, in addition to looking at the effect of Tuntian, can also make Zhenrong make more noise in Yuzhang, and it is best to let Zhenrong clean up the local scholars and powerful clans in Yuzhang County, so that it will be easy to govern when Zhu Wei lays Yuzhang.

Wang Yuyan has already considered these long-term things.

Of course, during this period, Wang Yuyan will also think of some strategies to provoke the contradictions between Zhenrong and those local gate valve clans in Yuzhang, so that Zhenrong cannot develop steadily in Yuzhang.

In short, Wang Yuyan roughly talked about her arrangements, and also assigned Pang Yan, Ling Cao, and Tai Shici the task of training the troops, and assigned Mu Lan the task of organizing and training auxiliary troops, and she herself will be responsible for Tuntian and planning Yuzhang.

As for Zhu Wei, he doesn't have to do anything specifically, as the main father, he is to look east and west, and take care of it.

After listening to Wang Yuyan's arrangement, Zhu Wei also nodded in agreement, but it is a pity that he is still a wandering monarch now, otherwise he can experiment with training instructions in the game system, maybe it will not take a few months, only a month to train all these recruits under him into elite soldiers.

After the matter was decided in this way, Pang Yan, Ling Cao, and Tai Shici went to select new recruits and officially launched their training plan.

And Mu Lan first received the more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers of Liyang, and then recruited a new 5,000 auxiliary soldiers from the people of Lingyang, and at the same time, Zhu Wei's 1,000 personal guards will be selected from these 8,000 people.

In fact, these auxiliaries did not need to be recruited so quickly, according to the military conscription law of the Han Dynasty, most of the auxiliaries would only be called up before the war, and they could still stay at home to do farm work in peacetime.

Anyway, these auxiliaries were originally only used to do strength work, and they didn't need more training, but now these Lingyang people are households under Zhu Wei's control, and there is nothing they need to do for the time being, so it is better to recruit them into auxiliary soldiers.

Zhu Wei made these auxiliaries originally to prepare a source of reserve soldiers for himself, so it was naturally necessary to recruit and train them......
