In the season of growth, the earth is covered with turquoise, the grass stretches out, and the trees by the pond pull out their green branches and leaves. In this season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, it is really a pleasure for Liu Song to sit by the river and blow a light breeze.
Enjoying this kind of comfort, the comfort made him, the capital of the Mixed Yuan Sect, want to be intoxicated.
Of course, Liu Song will not indulge in this comfort that makes him intoxicated, and he still has lofty ideals and ambitions to realize. Together with Yang Ji, Fan Mingde and others, he founded the White Lotus Branch, the Mixed Yuan Sect, and recruited disciples in the northwest of Anhui and the eastern part of Henan for the sake of simple comfort. If it was for comfort, Liu Song could go away with the silver, and the silver obtained from the incense burning rally over the years was enough for Liu Song to spend the rest of his life beautifully.
Why bother to work hard between eastern Henan and northern Anhui, why worry about sleepless nights? He was going to rebel.
The White Lotus Sect has been a small rebellion in 30 years, and a major rebellion in 50 years. Liu Song himself could not tell when he made up his mind to rebel, because the idea of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" of the secret sect of the Qing Dynasty was deeply rooted, and many scriptures and doctrines were infused with the ideas of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" and "changing the heavens and the earth", with a strong Han nationality centrism and the mystery of religious prophecy. This is an ideological weapon, Liu Song unconsciously rooted the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty, and it can only be said that the White Lotus Sect, a rebel professional that has been inherited for thousands of years, has its own set.
For the leaders of the rebellion, the purpose of the rebellion was not to "hang the big red robe to the sky" (Ling Chi execution), nor to "revive the great cause" for the descendants of the previous emperors, but to overthrow the current ruler and make a piece of his own.
However, in this case, Liu Song will not export easily. Otherwise, what else would he want to cooperate with the Fuhan General's Mansion?
Liu Song brought his distant nephew Liu Zhixie to the general's mansion ten days ago, and along the way they were led by people from the secret camp, and Liu Song thought that he had benefited a lot. The Lushan Chen family, it is really not a blow to be able to lay such a large foundation. Really tightly organized. And this kind of routine is actually more suitable for their mixed yuan sect.
This time, the General's Mansion invited them to come to Lushan, and the matter was very straightforward, that is, to fund the Mixed Yuan Sect to start an incident.
Liu Song's scope of activity was in eastern Henan and northern Anhui, and once they raised troops here, it would be too beneficial for the general's mansion.
And the Mixed Yuan Sect represented by Liu Song certainly knows that if he starts troops now, he is likely to be cannon fodder. However, if the principals of the General's Mansion are willing to give them some guarantees, they will be happy to be the cannon fodder. They can't die anyway.
The army led by Chen Ming is now extremely prosperous. After breaking Jingzhou, Wuchang and Jiujiang, it attacked Anqing in the first half of February, and the dignified Anhui provincial city was defeated by it. Although the Fu Han army soon lost Wuchang City, the Qing army's offensive against Jiujiang was repelled cleanly by the Fu Han army's remaining army. Chen Ming himself led his troops directly into southern Anhui, Chizhou and Tongling were all swept away, and the Jingkou banner soldiers led by Jiangning General Rong Bao and the naval divisions in Susong and other places were rotten compared to tofu and were vulnerable. Now the soldiers of the Fu Han army are inserted into Wuhu and pointed directly at Jiangning. Arrogance is really not ordinary arrogance!
Such news is like Chen Ming's capture of Jingzhou City, which caused a sensation throughout the country. Moreover, the dark camp made waves in the middle of the period, spreading countless rumors, which caused the people's hearts to fluctuate in many places. More importantly, it is now the end of February, and it will soon be the green and yellow in March and April, whether it is Henan, Anhui, Hubei and other places that were seriously affected by the war, or Shandong, Zhili, northern Jiangsu and other places far away from the war, March and April of the lunar calendar are the most difficult times of the year, which are more difficult than the cold winter wax moon. Liu Song can't say for sure what the grain is in other places, but the grain in northern Anhui must not be enough.
The price of grain in Yingzhou has doubled, and the price of grain in Hefei has also risen by five or six percent compared with previous years, and this is the end of February.
At this time in previous years, the grain and rice of Shashi would go down the river into Wuchang, and then enter Anqing from there, and there was no problem with the grain in Anhui. But now there is no need to think about the grain of the two lakes, and even the grain and rice in southern Anhui and Jiangnan have become unsafe. Who else can be counted on in northern Anhui?
And this is an opportunity for the Mixed Yuan Sect.
Liu Song, Yang Ji and Fan Mingde were already blushing when they watched the Fu Han army flourish, but now that the time has come in northern Anhui, several leaders in the sect are unwilling to give up. So Liu Song came here, and the negotiation with the Fuhan General's Mansion was very smooth, and the Fuhan General's Mansion was willing to support 100,000 taels of silver. But with weapons and guns or something, the General's Mansion is really powerless. Chen Hui made a suggestion to Liu Song: the Mixed Yuan Sect could take the opportunity to form a militia group, so as to cover up its own intentions in advance, and also to achieve the effect of hoodwinking the government.
Liu Song thought about it, this thing can be done. He is a native of Luyi County, Chenzhou Prefecture, the latter is on the mouth of the General's Mansion, and there are already several large and small militia groups in the county. Relying on the trust of the villagers, he can completely pull up the team, and he can also train in an open and honest manner.
After receiving the reply letter from Yang Ji and Fan Mingde, Liu Song, who was ready to officially reach a deal with the Fu Han Army, got up and went back to Chenzhou, and now seized the time to enjoy the comfort that made him relax. The breeze blew the pond, the ripples rose, and a few strands of hair touched Liu Song's nostrils, Liu Song stretched out his hand to pull his hair away, and in the general's mansion, Liu Song spread his braids.
But soon a rush of footsteps let him know that his leisure and comfort were about to disappear.
Liu Zhixie returned from the outside in a hurry, and the fast steps made Liu Zhixie not look like a twenty-eight-year-old person, but like an eighteen-year-old young man. Liu Song closed his eyes, and he didn't look at his nephew. When he came to Lushan, what he regretted and annoyed the most was not that there was anything else, but that he brought Liu Zhixie over.
Liu Song also couldn't understand how Liu Zhixie, who was loyal to him before coming to Lushan, had such a good impression of the General's Mansion in just a few days? Why did you believe the deceptive nonsense in the newspaper of the General's Palace?
Liu Song didn't understand.
Isn't it just shouting a few words of 'people's preciousness'? What private property is sacrosanct, the emperor can't kill people indiscriminately, rob people of money, and take out the folk legend of Zhu Hongwu killing Shen Wanshan to tell the play, that is not a historical fact, and the Han army is not ashamed.
What else: the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one family and one surname, the use of the royal family, and the treasury income is one out of a hundred. Advocate the human rights of the people at the bottom, and the prince should also be guilty of the same crime as the common people, and everyone is equal before the law. Criminals must also have the most basic human rights, and the lawyer has become a lawyer, and the criminal has the right to have a lawyer to help him defend himself.
Erfeng Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment; The money of the officials is the money and food of the common people to pay taxes, and it is logical that they should be supervised by the people. Under the rule of the general's palace, the people sued the officials and the people sued the people, and the court summons was handed over, and the latter had to go to court obediently.
Then the general's palace abolished the kneeling ceremony, and the people saw the officials, and the people saw the superiors, and they could bow their hands. Even the great generals of the General's Mansion only accepted the congratulations of the bureaucrats on New Year's Day.
The laws of the General's Mansion also abolished the crimes of joint sitting, punishment of clans, and extermination of the door.
……
Liu Song felt that this was all fart, flickering, flickering. Don't say anything else, the emperor only takes one of the hundred middle schools of the country every year, and if the Chen family really sits in the world, the ghost is willing to take only one of the hundred middle of the national treasury. When the Chen royal family becomes as huge as the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty, one of the hundred, let the emperor drink the northwest wind? It's all a flicker, a big flicker.
It has only been a few days since he arrived in Lushan, and Liu Song naturally used the new words he had just learned to complain. But Liu Zhixie's view is completely different from that of his uncle. He felt that the Chen family's sincerity was commendable, compared with the emperors and royal families of all Chinese dynasties. If there is really such an emperor in the world, it will be the happiness of the people all over the world.
Liu Zhixie didn't plan to follow the Fu Han army and no longer go back to the Yuan Sect. It's distracted, already affected. He is Liu Song's nephew and Liu Song's personal disciple, and if such a person spreads the Han Army among his followers, his influence will be huge. Liu Zhixie hadn't realized this problem yet, but Liu Song had already thought of it.
The reason why Liu Zhixie, who was so excited, was so happy was that he went to Dali Temple, the highest court of the Fu Han General's Mansion, to observe a trial. Officials who embezzled ink during the construction of two projects were sentenced to death.
Liu Zhixie was very excited, because the reason for the fall of the corrupt officials was a group of laborers under them, and they complained to the court's subordinate agency Yushitai, who sent people to visit secretly for a few days, and then quickly seized the general ledger of the construction site, and controlled the middle and upper layers of the construction site separately, interrogated one by one, and quickly figured out the evidence of the two corrupt officials.
For Liu Zhixie, this is much more exciting, exciting, and impactful than watching a play.
"This idiot. Absolutely not to take it back. What Liu Song thought in his heart was completely different from the smile he showed on the surface. Liu Zhixie's status in the Mixed Yuan Sect has been directly sentenced to death by him. Poor Liu Zhixie doesn't know yet.
"As long as the reply from the sect arrives, and the two sect leaders Yang Fan have no objections, our contact with the General's Mansion will be completed. Uncle is going to rush back to Chenzhou immediately, and I can't wait. Liu Song's words were as if he was full of ambition, "Our relationship with the General's Mansion cannot be broken, and I want to leave one person here to maintain the connection between my sect and the General's Mansion." ”
"Zhixie, uncle thinks about it, among the people in Lushan, you are the only one who can take on this important responsibility. Would you like to? ”
Liu Zhixie was as happy as a monkey who ate fresh peaches, how could he know that the clan uncle and master he respected had already given up in his heart. He is only happy that he is staying in Lushan now. (To be continued.) )
