You must know that this scope can affect six provinces. And all of them are the junction of Long, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Guizhou and Hunan provinces. In terms of area, it is equivalent to the total number of Hubei and Henan provinces combined.

Although the main towns in the local area were still in the hands of the Qing soldiers. But the contact with the outside world was cut off by the White Lotus Sect. If there are no reinforcements to relieve the siege, the city will be breached sooner or later.

Now the governors of the six provinces are all mobilizing troops and sending generals to quell the rebellion.

However, the state capital occupied by the White Lotus Sect is basically a place with high mountains and dangerous obstacles. Except for plains like Jingzhou, which are easier to attack. Elsewhere, it's easy to defend and hard to attack. If you don't spend time and energy, and you don't need to fill it with flesh and blood, it's hard to conquer.

In addition, the army of the White Lotus Sect was assisted by a well-equipped musket team secretly trained by the Ming Dynasty. Don't look at the small number of them, but when they start fighting, they are one against a hundred. In their hands, the Qing army basically touched a nose of ashes.

This is like a tiger adding wings, increasing the military strength of the White Lotus Sect in vain.

And the Qing army itself also has a big problem. For example, the weapons are crude, made, indiscriminate, and manufactured, and the quality of the soldiers is extremely low, so that all the old, weak, sick and disabled can get them into the army. There is also the general's concept of operation, which is extremely outdated.

Therefore, under all kinds of unfavorable factors, the Qing army suffered defeats in the hands of the White Lotus Sect. It also attracted the momentum of the White Lotus Sect, and it rose sharply.

In addition, the White Lotus Sect used some tricks to win people's hearts in later generations. Just take into account the grounding reasons. Combined with the most concentrated human-land contradictions and class contradictions in the Qing Dynasty, it has changed one or two slightly.

But in essence, it is still copied from later generations.

For example, in the propaganda of the people, they shouted the slogan of 'fighting the land and tyranny, dividing the land and land, and making the rich and expensive'. Literally, it's very simple and easy to understand. After all, they are all illiterate homeless people, and they still can't understand the words with them.

It also saves the endless official nonsense and goes straight to the point.

You must know that the mountainous areas at the junction of the six provinces are all refugees and people who fled from all over the Qing Dynasty. Their greatest hope is to have a field to cultivate, to eat, and to have clothes to wear. Live a paradise life where everyone is happy and never closes their doors at night.

Therefore, such a slogan is very deceptive. Many civilians who did not know about the White Lotus Sect or were hostile to the White Lotus Sect heard this propaganda slogan. Unconsciously, he has changed a lot of views on the White Lotus Sect.

In terms of class contradictions, it is 'everyone is equal, and heaven gives people power'. It's just that for ordinary people, it's enough to have enough to eat. Therefore, the pursuit of status and human rights is not so strong.

It's also that thinking, thinking, and realizing are not enough!

If you are a civilian who has lived in Daming for a few years, you will definitely feel that this place, position, people, and power are more important than eating and dressing. In the popular saying of the Ming Dynasty, 'The reason why a person is a human being is because he has thoughts.' ’。 If you only know the simple material pursuits of eating and dressing, then you are no different from animals.

In order to show that he is a thoughtful person, the Ming Dynasty has set off a 'philosophy and learning fever'. Whether it is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, or a cleaner who sweeps the streets. Whenever people speak, they will first recite a few words of philosophy and learning that they can't understand. When others listen, no matter how obscure they are, they will pretend to nod their heads. So that he can highlight himself and be a thoughtful and civilized person.

Some of the landlords and squires who were lucky enough to escape told the Qing army about the strange policies promoted by the White Lotus Sect in the occupied areas.

In their eyes, these policies and policies of the White Lotus Sect are all rebellious and shocking moves. And because many landlords and gentry who have done a lot of evil deeds have been beaten, killed, and smashed to death by fanatical sectarians and people. Many county officials, state officials, and government officials who were greedy, corrupt, corrupt, and corrupt, and who searched for and scraped the people, fat people, and ointment, were hanged, burned, and burned alive. All the family property was seized and deposited in the White Lotus Sect's holy treasury.

When it attracted the landlord and gentry, it added fuel and vinegar, and completely portrayed the White Lotus Sect as a cult where evil people gathered.

But no matter how much they splashed dirty water and slandered, they couldn't stop the development momentum of the White Lotus Sect. Hubei Province, where the situation is the most rotten, has reached the boundary of Hanyang Province. The governor of Hubei was so worried that he suddenly died.

Don't blame him for worrying! Because wherever there is a White Lotus Sect transit, whether it is food, use, or even people, it is swept away. All that was left was desolation.

Such a serious matter not only does not protect the official position, but it is also very likely to lose his head. After all, the sudden death in the line of duty was better than the court's dismissal investigation. In that case, there is a high risk that you will end up in ruin.

It was under the influence of the White Lotus Sect that the Hui people, who had already rebelled against the Qing Dynasty several times, also began to secretly form associations, attack and kill local Qing soldiers and court officials in Ningxia Prefecture, Pingliang Prefecture, Qingyang Mansion and other places where Hui people gathered.

The coastal provinces to the east are also not peaceful. Like Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, they have also continued to receive reports of pirates coming ashore to attack and harass.

Even the two provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan, which border the Qing Dynasty and Vietnam, also frequently appeared, and the people of the Qing Dynasty were taken captive to Dayue.

As soon as this beacon fire burned, it took on the trend of burning the prairies. From the coast to the inland, from the plains to the plateaus, there is an all-round emergency.

At present, even if the Qing State interferes in the situation in the South Seas, it is also powerless.

Although He Shen, who is in charge of counterinsurgency, is also worried about the current situation. But the nature of greed and money, the rebel generals he assigned are all useless fools. Not only did he not think about how to quell the rebellion, but he also used this as an excuse to set up a name and loot money and food on a large scale. Forced more good people to kill officials and surrender to the enemy.

As a result, in the area controlled by the White Lotus Sect, thousands of poor people rushed to join the Supreme Ancestor every day.

In this regard, the White Lotus Sect is not picky, and accepts it all.

Attract more poor people, and they will come one after another. This also caused the power of the White Lotus Sect to swell more and more like a snowball.

At that time, Emperor Jiaqing received a message from the magistrates of the provinces to the White Lotus Sect. Only then was he worried, and told the truth to the emperor. After all, it's the first year of Jiaqing! As soon as he succeeded to the throne, there was a rebellion. The ordinary people, if they want to say it, they will only say that the emperor is immoral. This is extremely detrimental to Emperor Jiaqing's reputation.

didn't think about it, didn't please it, didn't say it, and was reprimanded. (To be continued.) )
