Qin Lin's trip to Jizhen was invited by Qi Jiguang, and on September 28, Jizhen will hold the last big performance before the winter snowfall.

On the other hand, the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi is responsible for espionage and counter-espionage work, and has arranged an intelligence network in the border area, and its tentacles even extend to North Korea, Annam, and Siam.

The governor of Jiliao opened his mansion in Miyun County, northeast of the Beijing Division, about 100 li away from the Beijing Division, and the Jizhen General Military Mansion was located in the Santun camp between Zunhua City and the Xifeng Pass of the Great Wall, 300 miles east of the Beijing Division.

The purpose of Jizhen is mainly to contain other border towns and Beijing camps on the nine borders, and to play a role in preventing rebellion. At the same time, considering that the rest of the border towns were stretched in a line, the defensive line was thousands of kilometers long, and the soldiers were scattered, so Jizhen was set up as a reserve defense line against the Mongol invasion, and played a role in taking care of each other with the Beijing camp.

The number of officers and soldiers in Jizhen was initially set at 85,000 during the Yongle period, and increased to more than 100,000 during the Wanli period.

The current commander of these 100,000 Pixiu is Qin Lin's old friend, Qi Jiguang, a handsome man who is famous for resisting the Japanese.

This handsome man is extremely long-sleeved and good at dancing, although he knows that Qin Lin doesn't like those vain things, he still sent his nephew Qi Jin to lead the elite border army as a guard of honor, and welcome him to two hundred miles away - the capital division is three hundred miles away from Jizhen, and Qi Jin is about to touch the root of the city wall of the Beijing division!

Qin Lin sat in a very large and spacious black carriage, the brocade guards in fresh clothes and angry horses rode forward and hugged, the banner was flying fiercely against the north wind, and the official title plate with gold paint on a black background was written "Jinyi Wei Commander", "General Zhaoyong", "Governor of the North Town Fusi Office School", "Ordered to Mention the Edict", Qi Jin led a team of border army musketeers to open the way, and a team of border army ironclad elite cavalry pressed the formation, which was really majestic.

But no, don't say that the people walking on the official road were stunned, and even the wild dogs on the side of the road whimpered with their tails between their tails when they saw this formation, and ran away.

"Waha~~" Qin Lin sat in the middle of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside, feeling that the current scene was really very grand with the grand appearance of the big devil of the factory guard!

Except, of course, for the girl in the carriage who doesn't know what to call at all...... Rhubarb obediently lay on the floor of the carriage, Asha also lay on the thick and warm velvet blanket, and put his head comfortably on Rhubarb's body, the poor dog was originally fierce and vicious, but now he is as well-behaved as a pug, let Asha pillow his body, dare not resist at all, and wagging his tail flatteringly.

Not only that, Asha also found the secret compartment of the carriage and turned out all the food hidden inside, cloud cakes, candied fruits, snow dates, mung bean cakes...... Stuffed into his mouth one after another, and ate his little belly round.

Qin Lin looked at this guy and got angry, he didn't know what to call at all, he couldn't help but slap a stack of documents on the low table: "Eat, you know how to eat, chew so many sweets, in the future, you will have a mouthful of tooth decay, and it hurts you to cry!" ”

Asha lay lazily, holding a snow jujube with his delicate fingers: "Hey, this snow jujube is well done, crispy and soft, but it's a pity that the white sugar is put in, if you use jujube nectar, it will be even more beautiful......"

Is it tolerable or unbearable, the snow jujube went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to say goodbye before leaving, and Zhang Zixuan personally made it for Qin Lin! Seeing that one after another was stuffed into his mouth by Asha, he pounced: "Don't eat it, leave me a few!" ”

Actually robbed my snow dates? Asha's hand was light, only to realize that the snow date had reached Qin Lin's hand, and she immediately bounced up from the ground like an enraged cat, and fought with Qin Lin with her teeth and claws.

"You've eaten eight, and the last one is mine!" Qin Lin grabbed Asha's hair and pressed her head against the car board.

Asha tried his best to resist, his strength was surprisingly strong, and he reflexively gave Qin Lin a back fall: "What is Uncle doing with so much sugar?" I'm killing all the sweets for your good! ”

"Holy!" Qin Lin was smashed, he really didn't expect the strength of the oil bottle to be so great, he stood up and rushed over, but it was still a step too late, Asha had already thrown the snow date into the air, and it fell into her mouth in Qin Lin's desperate gaze.

I'm! Maybe it was because he was used to Asha's super anti-blow ability, or maybe he was repeatedly bullied by the oil bottle, Qin Lin, who was angry, didn't treat her as a girl at all, reached out and grabbed her chin, and put his fingers into her mouth to dig.

Asha didn't think about it, and took a bite directly.

Ah~~~ Qin Lin screamed and retracted his fingers: "You belong to a dog?" ”

Seeing that Qin Lin had blood on his fingers, Asha was also startled, and began to pretend to be cute again, his big eyes flickering: "Ah, uncle, who were you injured by?" Does it hurt? I'll blow it for you, and my mother said it won't hurt if you blow it......"

"Hmph, still pretending, still pretending, I see you are still pretending!" Qin Lin sneered and grabbed the trembling Asha, kicked out like kicking a ball, kicked the oil bottle to the wall like a piece of plasticine, and then slowly slid down under the effect of gravity.

The big yellow dog lay on the ground, covering his eyes with one of his front paws, and his round dog eyes were full of horror: Human, it's terrible...... See blood! Qin Lin looked at the deep tooth mark on the index finger of his right hand, and some blood flowed out, so he stretched out his head and walked out of the carriage: "Is there white gauze?" Bleeding! ”

Lu Fatzi and Niu Dali were both in the back car, and it was Qi Jin who was responsible for guiding the way, he heard an abnormal noise in the carriage just now, so he hid far away, although the little girl in the carriage was very young, but who knew if Chief Qin would ...... I really didn't expect that Qin Lin would actually say that he would ask for white gauze, Qi Jin was stunned, his expression immediately became extremely strange, and he hurriedly found a piece and handed it in.

Qin Lin got the gauze and looked back at Asha, and he also regretted that he was too exaggerated just now, afraid of hurting the little girl, but what he saw was that Asha, who had just been kicked and pasted to the wall of the carriage, was lazily pillowing on the rhubarb, grabbing the sweet chestnuts and starting to fight.

"Look at what," Asha peeled sweet chestnuts and rolled his eyes at Qin Lin.

Damn, is the oil bottle a person, this anti-blow ability is too strong, Qin Lin touched his head and didn't know why, but think about the fact that he might be beaten and bitten by a dog all day long, probably his body is more solid than ordinary people, and he doesn't know how much he has been beaten with the oil bottle, it seems that she doesn't even have a little scar on her body, but she is scarred...... Enduring the pain and wiping off the little blood that flowed out, and bandaging it with a clean cloth, Qin Lin casually threw the blood-stained gauze out of the car window.

A ball of white gauze, with red blood in the middle, Qi Jin and the brothers all looked at the carriage in a daze when they saw this scene, and everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Beast!

Of course, they didn't know that Qin Lin was inferior to a beast at all, this poor guy endured a headache in his fingers, flipped through the documents and made a loud noise, and looked at Asha, who was peeling sugar and fried chestnuts, and wanted to kick her out.

"Hey, uncle is still angry with others?" Asha smiled obediently and rubbed to Qin Lin's side.

Qin Lin gave her a blank look, "Drag the oil bottle and get out!" ”

"It's a big deal, please eat fried chestnuts with sugar, I just peeled them," Asha put a stack of peeled chestnuts in Qin Lin's hand, and after seeing that he didn't react for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you eat it?" Cut, uncles can't be angry with children. ”

Qin Lin angrily threw out two words: "My hand hurts." ”

Suddenly, a chestnut was stuffed into his mouth, and Asha's fingers touched Qin Lin's lips, which was cold.

"Okay, stingy uncle, I'll feed you!"

Qin Lin ignored her and looked through the documents by himself.

Ah Sha giggled, and while feeding Qin Lin chestnuts, he lowered his head to look at his document, which turned out to be a document about the White Lotus Sect, which immediately attracted Ah Sha's attention.

Seeing Qin Lin commenting on the document again, Asha couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Qin, your factory guards deal with the White Lotus Sect, but I heard that in some places, the reputation of the White Lotus Sect is even better than that of your Imperial Court Eagle Dog!" ”

"What's that, it's just a matter of deceiving the people," Qin Lin said casually, without even raising his head.

Asha's smart and wise eyes rolled, and he said, "Lying to the people? I don't think so, the Red Turban Army that overthrew the Mengyuan Tartars and recovered China was all launched by the White Lotus Sect back then, and the Iron Crown Daoist Zhang Zhong, Peng Yingyu and Peng Monks, by the way, I heard that even Taizu Hong Wuye participated in the White Lotus Sect! ”

Qin Lin is also analyzing the reasons why the White Lotus Sect has always fought against the imperial court in the thousand-year-long history, but it has always been impossible to extinguish, you must know that in the original history, not only did the Ming Dynasty not exterminate them, but even in the Qianlong period a hundred years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Cong'er, the female leader of the White Lotus Sect, also launched a large-scale uprising that dealt a heavy blow to the Qing Dynasty!

The White Lotus Sect is eternal, forever suppressed but cannot be eliminated, the White Lotus Flame will never be extinguished, what is its secret?

Qin Lin never believed that this was just the power of religion, he looked through the dossier these days, and also had some of his own experience, but he didn't have time to sort it out systematically, since he was asked by Asha, he was very bored anyway, so he talked to this little girl, which can be regarded as an alternative fishing wood question and answer.

"Destruction is always easier than construction," Qin Lin gave his answer, "If some fundamental changes do not occur, the White Lotus Sect will always have an advantage in competing with the imperial court for the hearts and minds of the people, which is its strength, but when it is its turn to establish the imperial court on its own, the advantages and disadvantages of the past will change!" ”

Asha blinked his eyes: "I, I don't quite understand what Uncle means." ”

Qin Lin smiled and slowly explained to Asha.

For example, for the poor people, the government is to levy grain and manage them, and when they encounter corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will wantonly loot and even oppress the people, while the imperial court will reorganize its armament to resist foreign aggression, renovate water conservancy and dredge the Yellow River to prevent floods, and set up yamen to maintain basic law and order, etc., are relatively far away from the people at the bottom, and ordinary people cannot recognize them.

On the contrary, the White Lotus Sect was bent on rebellion, so it naturally applied medicine to the people and drew talismans to recite scriptures to cure diseases - from the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao at the end of the Han Dynasty to the Tieguandao people and Peng Yingyu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it is an old routine that has been tried and tested to rebel first in the people to treat the disease in order to win over the people's hearts.

For a poor common man, the government will only levy food and levy food, and the White Lotus Sect will draw talismans to treat the sick, the lord of the official government is high, and the missionary brother of the White Lotus Sect is amiable, and he doesn't understand that the imperial court still has to do such important things as military training and river control, and he doesn't know that behind the smiling face of the White Lotus Sect, there is also a bad intention to make him rebel and bleed his head in the future...... Do you think in his mind, which is more amiable and lovely, the White Lotus Sect or the official mansion? Which has a better reputation?

Therefore, this is the fundamental reason why the White Lotus Sect has been desperately attacked by all dynasties for thousands of years, but the White Lotus Sect has never been able to stop it!

But this set of things, when it is the turn of the White Lotus Sect to establish its own imperial court, it will be useless, is it really as it advertises that it will never pay taxes? So what kind of training does the imperial court use, and what does it use to govern the river?

Qin Lin looked through the history and found that Han Shantong and Liu Futong rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and established the Longfeng Imperial Court, but they did not descend Maitreya and the Ming Dynasty to live, and they did not do it as the doctrine said, no taxes, no taxation, no taxation, so that it has no essential difference from ordinary separatist forces, except for counterattacking the Mengyuan Tatars, it will not enjoy a special advantage in the hearts of the people and morality.

That is to say, when the White Lotus Sect was an uprising force, it could put forward all kinds of high-standard slogans and teachings to win the hearts of the people, so it could not be banned by successive dynasties; However, once it succeeded in establishing its own political power, it could not really implement it, and it became an ordinary rebel with no special power.

Qin Lin said that every word knocked on Asha's heart like a nail, although she was young and her surname was naughty, she was extremely smart, and her understanding of the doctrine was even better than that of the elders in the sect, so she was deeply loved by the sect leader and passed on the position of a saint.

But after listening to Qin Lin's analysis, the slogan of the White Lotus Sect can only stay in words, and it can be used to rebel to hit the imperial court, but when it is his turn to build a government, it cannot be implemented at all, it is completely illusory!

"Will there really be a day when King Ming will come and Maitreya will be born...... Asha muttered silently in his heart, but he soon denied himself, maybe the middle and low levels of the White Lotus Sect believed in these things, but the top level naturally knew what was going on.

The name of the White Lotus Society, which was formed by Du Wanyi of Duyi County, Jiangnan Province, was formed and assembled in the eighteenth year of Yuan Shizu to the Yuan Dynasty.

There is also the White Lotus Sect monk of Lushan Donglin Temple in Jiangxi Province, You Tan Pudu, who wrote ten volumes of "Lushan Lotus Sect Treasure", clarifying the true meaning of the White Lotus Sect advocated by Ziyuan, and using it to refute the heresy and evil deeds of the White Lotus Society at that time. In the first year of Wuzong, due to the non-behavior of the White Lotus Dao people in the White Lotus Hall in the back mountain of Jianning Road, Fujian Province, they were banned again.

When Shunzong, Luancheng Han Shantong father and son, claimed that the White Lotus bloomed, Maitreya came into the world, officially founded the White Lotus Society, relying on Buddhism, made scriptures and talismans, spread the people, and revolted in the eleventh year of Zhizheng, called the Red Turban Army, which played a leading role in the anti-Yuan uprising.

During the time of Ming Taizu, it was banned...... With such a long history, is this religion simply a false thing? There was a hint of confusion in Asha's eyes...... "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Qin Lin saw that Ah Sofa was stunned, and reached out and touched her forehead, which was as smooth as jade, "I don't have a fever, could it be that I was beaten stupid just now?" ”

"You've just been beaten stupid!" Asha grabbed a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts and stuffed Qin Lin's mouth to the brim.
