He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the second dragon raised its head in early February, our Holy Sect has been in trouble for more than a month, like a fire burning the plain, a storm sweeping, sweeping across the entire Songhua River, and now it has more than a dozen counties, with millions of believers below and hundreds of thousands of troops!" Since the establishment of the puppet Ming Dynasty, there have been the uprising of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi during the Hongwu period, the Yongle period of my White Lotus Our Lady Tang Sai'er called the emperor in the unloading stone shed, and the White Lotus Sect in the early years of Zhengde has never been like this time, the momentum is so violent, and the progress is so rapid! ”

His voice suddenly rose up: "This shows that the rule of the Puppet Ming Dynasty has lost the hearts of the people, and my White Lotus Holy Sect started at the right time!" Our goal is to enter the Guannei, destroy the false Ming, and return a White Lotus Holy Land to thousands of my people, all brothers and sisters in the world are one family, no imperial grain and no taxes, everyone is happy and leisurely! ”

He stood up suddenly, raised his arms and shouted: "Kill into the pass, destroy the false Ming!" Don't pay the emperor's grain, don't pay taxes, everyone is happy and leisure! ”

Everyone in the hall stood up and shouted: "Kill inside the pass, destroy the false Ming!" If you don't pay the imperial grain, you don't pay taxes, and everyone divides the land and the field! ”

Among them, most of them were sincere and sincere, and they shouted from the bottom of their hearts, and people of the older generation like Zhao Yunshan and Feng Xichen were almost in tears. But Zao Wou-Ki's eyes flickered, but he shouted louder than anyone else, but Li Qingshan had clear eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Niu Dazhang, who was standing behind Zhao Wouji, looked excited, but his eyes were observing the expressions of everyone in the hall.

After a long while, the frenzied atmosphere in the hall dissipated, and Xu Hongru pressed down with both hands. After everyone was quiet, he said in a deep voice, "Call you over this time." Two things! First things first, it's time for us to get into the system! Now our territory is bigger. There are more soldiers under our hands, as the saying goes, there are no rules and no circle, and the soldiers and people under our hands have to be disciplined. No, it has to be changed! ”

Hearing him say this, everyone pricked up their ears, and before they came, they also heard some rumors, but they didn't know what position they were after this restructuring, and how much benefit and power they could get. I was a little apprehensive in my heart. From this aspect, Xu Hongru's control over the people in the sect is still very strong.

Xu Hongru waved his hand, and Feng Xichen on the side stood up, took out a roll of white silk from his sleeve and opened it. glanced at everyone and said, "Now it's up to me to announce the specific items of the restructuring." ”

"Abolish the distinction between the main altar and the incense below, and the master of each incense. All of them were dismissed. ”

"There are two ministries of government, one is called the Ministry of Culture, Culture, and Sports. In charge of government affairs, a prime minister is appointed. He smiled faintly: "This prime minister." I'm the one who takes the responsibility. ”

"The second is the military department, and the military department has set up a general of Fengtian to rebel, and Zhao Yunshan Zhao's envoy is responsible. The armies under the jurisdiction of our Sect are all called the Holy Sect Army, and the military headquarters is in charge of all the Holy Sect armies. Feng Xichen continued: "The general of Fengtian's rebellion has five armies, which are the front, rear, left, right, and center, and each has a general. Tunhewei and Wutunhewei were merged into the front army, with a total of 16,000 people, the former army commander would be Zhao Wouji, and the deputy would be Zhang Changgui. …… It was merged into the rear army, with a total of 19,000 people, the commander of the rear army would be Li Qingshan, and the deputy general of the rear army would be Wang Lai. …… It was merged into the Left Army, with a total of 12,000 people, Zhao Ji, the commander of the Left Army, and He Yi, the deputy general of the Left Army. …… It was merged into the Right Army, with a total of 13,000 people, the commander of the Right Army was Gu Dechang, and the deputy general of the Right Army was Yu Zhongxiu. …… The three guards and the original Holy Sect General Altar Black Armor Holy Army merged into the Chinese army, a total of 25,000 people, the main general of the Chinese army will be concurrently served by Zhao Yunshan, the general of Fengtian's rebellion, and four deputy generals under his jurisdiction, namely Xu Zheng, Ma Pei, Liu Bi, and Yu De. ”

Hearing this appointment, everyone was slightly relieved.

This restructuring, to say that the change is really not small, abolished the difference between the general altar and the incense, and integrated all the forces together, becoming an unbreakable whole. If you want to say that the change is big, it's not that big, but it's just that all the forces are kneaded together, the two incense are merged, one of the two incense masters is the main and the other is the deputy general, and the people under the hands are still those people. In general, the possibility of losing their authority that they feared most did not happen, and the worst one also got a lieutenant general.

In this way, the eleven incense sticks have become the front and rear left and right middle five armies, and the Chinese army is based on the most elite 10,000 black armor victories in the general altar, and three incense troops have been added, with a total strength of 25,000, firmly suppressing the other front and rear left and right four armies, and also eliminating any possibility of rebellion.

"Everyone, did you hear me?"

Xu Hongru asked with a smile.

"Hear me clearly!" The crowd responded in unison.

A question also arose in their hearts, we are all the main generals and deputy generals now, what is the official title of the sect lord?

As if he knew what they were thinking, Xu Hongru smiled on his face: "From today onwards, this seat will be the White Lotus Holy King!" The land where this seat is located is the White Lotus Holy Country, and the White Lotus Holy Religion is the national religion of our country! ”

He glanced at everyone: "Everyone, don't you want to see you?" ”

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "I've seen the Holy King (Your Majesty, Your Highness)"

Hearing such a chaotic response, Xu Hongru's face immediately turned a little cold, and he said coldly: "Now that they are all officials and generals, why are they still so ignorant of the rules?" ”

Feng Xichen on the side understood, knelt down on his knees, and said in a loud voice: "Xiaguan knocks to see the Holy King Chitose, I wish my Holy Sect, Ze is long, I wish my Holy King, long life and good health!" ”

All the generals suddenly fell to their knees one after another, calling the Holy King Chitose.

Listening to everyone's praise in unison, the smile on the corner of Xu Hongru's mouth couldn't be stopped any longer, slowly rippling, and finally turned into an undisguised laugh.

He was immersed in this feeling of seeming to be self-respecting in the heavens and the earth for a while before he woke up, and at this time, the knees of the generals below who were already kneeling were all sore and painful, and Xu Hongru said slowly: "Everyone, get up!" ”

The crowd stood up. When he looked at Xu Hongru again, he suddenly found it. Something seems to have quietly changed.

The sect leader is still the same sect honorable, and his body and appearance have not changed. It's just that he stood there, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't see it so really. And his figure seems to be tall and majestic, facing him, it is like facing a high mountain, which makes people can't help but feel fear and awe.

The sect leader who sat with his brothers and ate grilled fish and drank turbid wine has disappeared again, right?

Many people think about it in their hearts.

"That's the general situation of the establishment, of course. That's just a small part. If you want to read them all, I'm afraid it will take an hour or two to finish. Feng Xichen smiled and shook the thick silk silk in his hand: "But those details, let's talk about them later, now the second big thing is the next move." ”

This is also a matter that everyone is concerned about, and they have all thought about it in their hearts, and they have their own plans, but now it seems that the sect honor. Oh, no, it's the Holy King Chitose, I'm afraid I won't give everyone a chance to speak. It's time to be autocratic.

Feng Xichen said: "The Holy King Chitose has given us, and a few of us have carefully considered it, our next destination." It's Tashanwei! ”

"Tashanwei?"

There was an uproar among the crowd. It was one of the few cities in the hands of the Ming army, with more than 10,000 heavy troops guarding it. And it's not far from the vultures and the vultures, once surrounded. Immediately there will be reinforcements from the Ming army.

They fought too smoothly in the past, and they almost lost any troops, and they also knew that the Ming army was not very easy to provoke, and the reason why the Holy Sect rose so quickly was mostly because the Ming army was transferred to the north to fight with the Jurchens, because everyone didn't want to touch this hard bone.

Only Li Qingshan's eyes were shining, and he looked extremely excited.

"Quiet!" Xu Hongru knocked on the deputy of the chair and said with an unhappy face.

After everyone shut up, he said with a calm face: "Lone knows what you think, it's just that fighting Tashanwei is the only way to go, we have no choice!" ”

"Saint King Chitose is right!" Feng Xichen said: "Now we can only wander in the territory of the general of Liaobei, the general Songhuajiang to the west, and the general Jianzhou to the south, I am afraid that they already know the chaos on our side, but the puppet Ming court is inefficient and procrastinating, they think that they have not yet received the order to encircle and suppress us, so they dare not be arrogant, but if we run to them, how can people not fight?" And the estimated time is about the same! Don't think that time is still very free, our time is running out, and during this time, we must quickly improve our strength, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The crowd replied, apparently still disapproving.

Feng Xichen was not in a hurry, and continued: "Now we can only toss around in the territory under the jurisdiction of the general of Liaobei, if we don't fight the Ming army, will it be difficult to fight the Jurchen?" Moreover, it's not a problem for us to hide like this, after all, we have to fight with them, and see what kind of goods we will send these soldiers! Besides, there are many benefits to laying down Tashan Weilai! ”

As soon as they heard that there was a benefit, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they all asked, "What benefit?" ”

"Armor, weapons, food!" Zhao Yunshan said, his voice was calm, powerful, and dignified, with a kind of unmistakable majesty: "The letter from the inside line is enough to arm more than 30,000 troops!" If we can take down Tashanwei, our power will increase greatly. As for the grain. ”

He sneered: "I'm afraid you're all out of cooking, right?" ”

The crowd laughed.

They didn't have any long-term plans, and after conquering a place one by one, they connived at their subordinates to eat and drink, like a swarm of locusts, and now, everything they could eat was almost enough, and all that was left was to eat people.

Xu Hongru said with a final word: "That's it!" The order went down, there were three days to integrate, and after three days, the soldiers sent Tashan Wei! ”

On March 15, the 53rd year of Zhengde, the White Lotus Sect was reorganized in Tulunwei.

Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, announced the establishment of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom, temporarily set up the capital, proclaimed himself the White Lotus Holy King, designated the White Lotus Holy Sect as the state religion, and the army was officially named the White Lotus Holy Sect Army. The generals of Dafeng merged the forces of each incense into the five armies of the front and back, the left and right, and issued the 'Ten Rules of the White Lotus Heavenly Rules' and the military system of the White Lotus Holy State.

White Lotus Heavenly Rules: First, revere the childless mother; Second, it is not good to worship evil gods; Third, it is not good to pretend to be in the name of the Holy King; Fourth, three prostrations and nine prostrations at noon every day to praise the kindness of the holy king; fifth, filial piety to parents; Sixth. It's not good to kill people and harm people; Seventh, it is not good to commit adultery and fornication; Eighth. It's not good to steal and rob; Ninth, it is not good to tell lies; Tenth. It's not good to be greedy. The first four are in the realm of religious belief and personal worship, the last six are moral restraints on the faithful, the rules of life for the followers in the suri period, and the military discipline in wartime, with immediate execution in the worst cases and shackles in the lightest.

The White Lotus Holy Sect military system was jointly formulated by Feng Xichen and Zhao Yunshan, Feng Xichen was full of poetry and books, and Zhao Yunshan had been in the army for a long time, and the two worked together. It soon became a very tight and meticulous military system.

Five people are in a team, and Wu Chang is in charge; Five Wu is two, and two Sima are unified; Four taels are hundred, with centurion as the commander, to the level of Bai there are subordinate officials, one hundred and four people; Five hundred is a battalion, with a total of five hundred and twenty-five people; The five battalions are divisions, and there are division commanders. 2,630 men in one division; The armies in the front, rear, left, right, and center have as many division commanders as they have according to the number of troops under their respective commands. The whole army has a chief general and a deputy general.

The White Lotus Holy Army, whether in peacetime or in combat, has the army as the highest unit. The chief general is responsible for basic tasks such as training and marching and camping in peacetime, while in wartime he conducts operational command and dispatch command on the battlefield. The operational command system is composed of the chief general, the deputy general, the division commander, the centurion, and the two Simas, and the logistics supply system is formed by various officers with positions equal to the deputy general, as well as their subordinate officers and bureaucrats, and on top of these two systems, a general is set up as the supreme commander of the whole army. Prime Minister of the whole army affairs.

This kind of military system is, first, to entertain the army and the people. facilitate conscription; Second, it is modeled on the "Zhou Li" and adopts a six-level establishment of army, two, hundred, battalion, division, and army. With such a strict division of labor, rules and regulations can be formulated in a timely manner as soon as things are done. It is also extremely rare in the peasant uprisings of previous dynasties. And it can be seen from this that the White Lotus Sect has accumulated for a hundred years, and it is indeed full of talents in the sect, and Feng Xichen and others are all thoughtful and thoughtful figures.

This can even be reflected in the detail of military uniforms.

The Chinese army is the Royal Forest Army of the Holy King, and the military uniform is all white; Commanded by the former army, white clothes with green edges; Subordinate to the rear army, white clothes with yellow edges; The right army is under the command of: white clothes with black edges; Subordinate to the Left Army: white clothes with blue edges.

is so fine, this person's talent can be seen.

At the same time, a 'sacred treasury' system was established.

All believers are to dedicate all their possessions to the Holy Treasury, and all people's food and clothing are paid for by the Holy Treasury. Since then, this system has been practiced throughout the country. Gold, silver, silk, treasures, etc., captured in battle, must be handed over to the holy treasury, and individuals are not allowed to keep them privately, and violators are punished with heavy fines up to beheading. The living needs of the generals and soldiers are provided by the Holy Treasury. The types and standards of supply, grain, oil, and salt, regardless of age, are all supplied in equal quantities to show fairness; The supply of meat is equal to the daily share below the Holy King, and the lower-level soldiers are not supplied every day. The rest of the supply varies in quantity. However, the various supply quotas are not fixed and vary according to the source of materials.

The calendar is also changed.

The official promulgation of the White Lotus Holy Calendar, the abolition of the pseudo-Ming year, with the year of the White Lotus Sect's great uprising, that is, the fifty-third year of Zhengde, is the first year of the White Lotus Holy Country's Xin Kai. It also stipulates that a year is 366 days, the 31st day of a single month, the 30th day of a double month, the six solar terms of the beginning of spring, Qingming, mangzhong, the beginning of autumn, the cold dew, and the heavy snow are 16 days, and the remaining 18 solar terms are 15 days. It is still the year of the dry branch, but the "ugly" in the earth branch is changed to "good", "mao" is changed to "rong", and "hai" is changed to "open". He also promulgated the "White Lotus Ritual System", which was respectful and humble, and strict from top to bottom.

These rules and regulations enabled the White Lotus Sect to break away from the category of a simple peasant uprising and become a truly organizational organization with its own guiding ideology and combat goals, as well as extremely strong organizational ability and rising combat effectiveness.

Historically, it is known as the 'Delunwei Establishment'.

After three days of rest, a total of 85,000 people from the front and back of the reorganized White Lotus Sect and more than 400,000 organized Zhuangding mobs rushed towards Tashanwei, and the army was claimed to be 1.2 million, and the momentum was violent.

The White Lotus Holy Sect played the banner of 'killing into the pass and destroying the false Ming', which was used to command the world.

And the slogan they put forward, 'no imperial grain and no taxes, everyone divides the land and divides the land', like a plague virus, spread throughout the entire land outside the customs in just a few days, and it also spread to the customs at an alarming speed.

I don't know how many poor peasants who are living in dire straits and can barely support themselves have been provoked by this sentence to resist in their hearts.

—————————— dividing lines————————

The movements of the White Lotus Sect can be said to be the core of the attention of all forces outside the entire Guanwai. This big uprising, which occurred not far from the border of the Ming Dynasty, involved the three forces, and I don't know how many people want to get a piece of the pie.

For example, I can't say it. Another example is Lian Zining.

MI6 has planted at least fifty spies in the territory of the Liaobei generals, and many of them have already infiltrated the White Lotus Sect. It's not a high-level one, but it's still possible to get some less important information.

I didn't use the line of Niu Dazhang. After the White Lotus Sect gathering on March 15, on the evening of March 17, the news had already reached the General's Mansion in Zhenyuan Mansion.

At this time, all the officers of the Wuyi Army who had more than 1,000 households and all the civil officials in Langzhong, including Langzhong, gathered together.

Lian Zining is announcing the new establishment of the Nuer Gandu Division.

After several days of deliberation, this plan was finally released.

There were more than 100 people sitting in the large conference room, which was already a little crowded, the military general sat on Lian Zining's left hand, and the civil official sat on Lian Zining's right hand.

Male left, female right. Men and women are cheap, the left is martial, the right is martial, and the wen is noble and martial.

The status relationship between civil and military officials is often linked to the road of humanity and the heaven and earth, needless to say, it is naturally a good thing for those civil and military officials. Originally, there was no such statement, but since the year of Orthodoxy, the status of the military generals of the national dynasty has declined sharply, and they are driven and insulted by civilian officials like pigs and dogs. This pattern of nobility and martial arts can be regarded as settled.

And Lian Zining is now arranging like this, it is clear that he has changed this style, and he clearly told everyone in this gentle but clear way - in the territory of Wu Yijun, military generals are more important than civilian officials! Civil service. At least at this stage, it's just an appendage of the military attaché.

For a long time, the pattern within the jurisdiction of Wu Yijun. That's it, we all know that the one who is a soldier is the uncle. We all know that the military is the foundation. But these words, after all, no one put them on the table. But today, Lian Zining has unveiled this veil alive.

This inevitably means that there is no need to save face for others, and it also makes some civil officials very uncomfortable, and they can't help but feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

Their expressions, Lian Zining can see clearly, and Lian Zining knows the thoughts in their hearts. Few people know better than him from a few hundred years later, the thinking of these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, since the decline of the power of the military generals of the orthodox dynasty, the status has been declining, and it has been a hundred years, which is enough to make the civil officials look down on the military generals, and it has become a habit to bully and suppress them.

Lian Zining just wants to change this stinky problem!

They may still be thinking in their hearts that now is the time to fight, and it is natural for military generals to have a higher status, and when the world is peaceful in the future, it will naturally be the civilian officials who will have the upper hand. But what Lian Zining wants to do is not for a while, but for thousands of generations! From now on, what he wants is that no matter how many years later, the status of military generals will definitely not be lower than that of civil officials, even if they are not above civil officials!

Because soldiers are the backbone of a country and a nation!

When this backbone is broken, this country, this dynasty, will not be far from falling.

The Han and Tang dynasties were heavily armed, and the world was full of martial arts, especially the Tang Dynasty, which was the most brilliant and glorious dynasty of the soldiers, and it can be said that the emperor himself was a martial artist. It was precisely because of the Tang Dynasty's heavy military and heavy army that it was able to lay down such a huge and vast territory, and all the four provinces surrendered.

And those dynasties that emphasized literature over military force, there were a few that had a good end - the Northern Song Dynasty died in Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty died in Yuan, and the Ming Dynasty died in Later Jin, and the end was extremely miserable.

To put it mildly, Lian Zi would rather this country fall in the melee of his own warlords, and definitely don't want her to fall into the hands of foreign races and be wantonly ravaged and trampled on like the two Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty of her own time and space.

This is our territory!

Lian Zining knocked on the arm of the chair and smiled faintly: "I know what you guys think. Wen Zuo Wu right, Wen Gui Wu is cheap, the country has always been like this. But recently, I want to tell you very clearly, tell you, these civil and military officials under my command! Under my Lian Zining, where the banner of my Wuyi Army is flying, those with high status will always be military generals, you civilian officials, just help and assist, never delusional, ride on the head of a soldier to and pee! So it is now, it will be so in the future, and it will be so for thousands of years! Let me tell you, Lao Tzu is also a soldier! (To be continued.) )
