Chapter 115: News from India
The second major event was that Zhao Wushuang's size had grown again, reaching an astonishing fifteen-meter length! And the bones become stronger, the muscles stronger, and the scales finer and harder.
At this time, he is afraid that he will be able to withstand the heavy artillery of five British battleships at the same time and not die several times in a row! In this era of alternating cold and hot weapons, such an existence is no longer something that can be described by horror.
Zhao Wushuang alone, I'm afraid he can top an elite army of 3,000 people!
In addition to this, there is a third big thing.
It was a somewhat strange and surprising news from a merchant ship in charge of the silk and porcelain trade in the Jardine line controlled by the Wu family in the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou, which was in charge of the silk and porcelain trade in India......
The Wu family, as the first of the thirteen lines in Guangzhou, was a big capitalist and a big businessman who fell to the Dragon God Sect. In addition, he was indeed financially strong and honest and obedient, and soon occupied a place in the Dragon God Sect. In addition to Wu Bingjian and Wu Shaorong, who have been promoted to "Venerable", as well as many descendants of the Wu family, have become middle-level believers of the Dragon God Sect.
Here is a general introduction to the organizational structure of the Dragon God Sect.
The entire Dragon God Sect adopts a centralized model. The top layer is naturally the dragon god Zhao Wushuang and the tiger god Hu Lie.
Under the two sect masters, they are the eight elders of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, and Huang, as well as their respective deputy elders (not yet full), who are mainly responsible for the management and appointment and dismissal of believers in the sect.
In addition, the original Guangzhou Navy Division was the First Army of the Dragon God Sect, and the original Humen garrison was the Second Army of the Dragon God Sect, plus the various water divisions and green battalions controlled later, there were ten legions for the time being. These corps commanders and elders are of equal rank and are responsible for military training, combat and other military matters.
Down, it is the level of Dharma protector; Under the Dharma Protector is the Divine Messenger...... Further down, from high to low, are the Venerable, the Deacon, and the Divine Favor. Finally, there are a large number of ordinary believers, the largest number, which has exceeded 300,000 in the whole territory of Guangdong!
In short, the Wu family has now become the most beautiful family in the thirteen lines. And he has also obtained a lot of political power in the Dragon God Sect, which is completely different from the businessmen who were slaughtered no matter how rich they were before.
The Wu family, who tasted the sweetness, naturally fully supported Zhao Wushuang, and worked very hard to accumulate wealth in business activities, without a trace of distraction. Even deep down, they hoped that the Dragon God Sect would be able to lift off the surface of the camouflage as soon as possible and completely erect the banner of rebellion against the Manchus. In this way, their Wu family can also be regarded as "ministers from the dragon"!
Yutai Town, Tianzi Elder's Mansion.
Yang Ye sat on a bookcase, concentrating on sorting out the letters in his hand. His brow furrowed slightly, clearly bothered by something.
After three years, Yang Ye has grown from a small warship pipe band (the captain of a warship) to a high-powered Dragon God Sect Tianzi Elder! Won the trust of the dragon god.,Responsible for intelligence、Espionage。 To put it bluntly, he has actually become a spy leader!
This also made Yang Ye's originally cheerful personality a little gloomy. Although Zhao Wushuang felt a little regretful, there was no way - after all, intelligence and espionage work must be undertaken by the most trusted person, except Yang Ye, he couldn't think of anyone else who was suitable.
"Do you want to hand over this piece of information? Lord Ryujin is busy with business, and he must not let useless news waste his time. Yang Ye looked at the letter in his hand and hesitated.
Every day, he had to get a huge amount of information from the intelligence network all over the place, and after sifting through it, he presented the most useful ones to Zao Wushuang for reading. The intelligence letter he was hesitating about now was from the shopkeeper of a merchant ship headed for India by Wu Jiayi and Xing.
According to the intelligence, they went to a place called Kerala on the southwest coast of India. The terrain is flat, and the rivers are criss-crossed, stretching from north to south. In the rivers and lakes, merchant ships, fishing boats and pleasure boats are endless, providing convenient waterway transportation for the local people, so the commercial atmosphere has been relatively strong since ancient times. At the same time, the long coastline provides easy access for Kerala to connect with the rest of the world.
When the Wu merchant ship reached Tiruvonontabram, the capital of Kerala, it began trading with the locals. The shopkeeper who took the lead in the merchant ship is called Lu Wenguang, who has been running the foreign routes of the Wu family for a long time, so he is proficient in the languages and cultures of many countries, and he also has friends in many places.
In the past, when business was done in Tiruvonon Tabulem, you would see a thriving local business and a warm reception from the locals. But this time he was a little surprised.
The trade market is deserted, and even pedestrians have become scarce, making it a bit depressed.
Lu Wenguang was very strange, and found a local partner to inquire about the reason.
It turns out that a very old Hindu temple called Padmanaba Swamy Temple has recently undergone a miracle and a large number of precious treasures have been discovered!
The partner also told Loh Boon Quang that the Padmanaba Swami Temple is one of the one hundred and eight important temples worshipped by the Vaishnu sect in India. As early as the early Middle Ages, Tamil literature was famous throughout India and even in South Asia, and other buildings were added in the following centuries. It is currently the private property of the Padmanaba Swami lord family.
According to local historical legends, this temple is also an unimaginable super treasure trove! It has hundreds of tons of solid gold walls, and a large number of offerings to the gods from the royal family, nobles and even commoners for thousands of years......
In fact, there are evil people who covet the treasures of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, but because of those terrifying legends about the gods, people dare not approach them. But recently, the temple has shown miracles!
One night, several of the most devout Hindu devotees were preparing to enter the interior of the temple. However, at the entrance, he found that the entire temple was emitting an incomparably bright golden light, almost illuminating the nearby night as if it were day. And the golden light was accompanied by violent tremors, as if a small earthquake had occurred near the temple.
A not-so-wide crack opened in the ground, and they looked inside to find a crate of tattered wood, filled with glittering gems, pearls, and gold!
These circumstances shocked the devout believers who had come to the defeat, believing that it was a miracle of the gods, and that the treasures were gifts from the gods to the devouts.
This incident immediately caused a sensation throughout Tiruvonontabram, and a large number of Hindu devotees went to the vicinity of the temple, eager to see the miracle. At the same time, I hope to receive the treasure gift of the gods!
