Chapter 246: Mountain Rain is Coming Fourth Update

A donkey cart is running fast on the road leading to the east of Lin'an City.

At this time, Lin'an City was about the most prosperous city in the world, not only densely populated within the city walls, but also surrounded by pavilions, but also gathered countless people living outside the walls. Roughly speaking, the entire Lin'an, including the outside of the city, is a pattern of western Guizhou and eastern poverty, and southern palace and northern city. The nobles of Lin'an mostly live in the west of the city near the West Lake, out of the city wall around the West Lake, and most of them are the other industries of the nobles.

The east of Lin'an City and beyond the city wall are places where ordinary people live, especially outside the wall, where slums are located. Large swaths are dirty, dilapidated, crowded shantytowns. There are also a large number of handicraft workshops such as weaving, lacquerware, printing, papermaking, etc. These handicrafts provided a large number of employment opportunities for the residents here, and the cheap labor of the Lin'an slums also contributed to the prosperity of the handicraft industry here.

However, no matter how developed the handicraft industry is, after all, it is still a handicraft industry, and it cannot be compared with the large industries of later generations, and its ability to absorb and accommodate labor is still very limited. Not enough to absorb the steady stream of poor people who have fled from Lianghuai, Jinghu and even Sichuan - most of the people in Lin'an City have settled here for many years, and most of them have the means to make a living. In the slums in the east of Lin'an, most of them are refugees who fled after the Mongol-Song war, and most of them have no food and clothing, and they are the lowest level of Lin'an society. Many of them lost their homes and relatives because of the burning of the Mongols and became refugees. Therefore, the hatred of Mongolia is also a little stronger than that of the people in Lin'an City. Wen Tianxiang's "Recovery" newspaper sales here are more than those in Lin'an City, and the Goolan tiles in this area. All kinds of anti-Mongolian and anti-Mongolian storytelling and southern opera are also the most popular programs.

In addition to the fact that the newspaper "Liberation" is very popular here. Mingjiao, which was rooted in the lower class of Lin'an, also made this place its base camp. Because of the large number of believers, the Ming Christians here are not as secretive as they are in the city. Meikyo Temple. It was almost openly opened in the slums, and the government officials not only turned a blind eye, but even joined in to become believers. As for those scholars who broke their families and destroyed their families, those who converted to Mingjiao and looked forward to the birth of the Ming King, they don't know how many.

The donkey cart stopped outside a large Mingzun temple, the door of which was open, and a dozen white lanterns were hung high, illuminating the surroundings in a dim light. Inside and outside the door were crowded with poor people in tattered clothes and vegetables, mostly some young and strong men, sitting cross-legged with a pious face, listening to the sermons of a few young Mingjiao envoys in white clothes and black hats.

The content of the preaching is not complicated, that is, King Ming will come to the world, and he will lead the Han people in the world to rise up and expel Hu Lu and establish a bright heavenly kingdom where everyone can enjoy peace.

The curtain of the donkey cart was lifted by the coachman and came out of it. It is the ink shadow girl in white clothes and white skirts.

"The Lightbringer has arrived!"

"Welcome to the Lightbringer!"

A loud roll call sounded, and the believers who were listening to the sermon rose one after another, and the crowd made way for a passage. At the end of the passage is a makeshift wooden platform. A few little envoys in white clothes and black hats stood on it, and they all bowed to the ink shadow girl.

Mo Ying Niang walked forward with her head held high, and her already solemn face already showed a holy look. As she walked towards the wooden platform, the believers on both sides of the passage. They all bowed down reverently.

Shadow Niang arrived in front of the wooden platform, but just jumped lightly. He landed on the stage like a flying immortal, turned around, looked at the crowd of people bowing below, and said solemnly: "Father Ming has issued a decree, King Ming has descended into the world, light will defeat darkness, you will follow King Ming to crusade against demons, and you will enjoy eternal bliss in the world of light!" ”

She suddenly raised her arm, pointed to Lin'an City in the west, and shouted in an almost sacred tone: "The demon is entrenched there, and the prince of Mongolia is the demon!" The Mongolian robbers who destroyed my homeland and killed my relatives are all demons! The faint monarch and traitor who ushered them into Lin'an are the demons' disciples! ”

"King Ming came to the world, slay demons and eliminate demons, brighten the world, and enjoy eternal bliss!"

The believers chanted the slogan of the rebellion of Mingjiao, and the sound was like thunder, and in an instant it spread throughout the slums in the east of Lin'an City......

……

"Tomorrow is the opportunity...... The official family announced that a certain person entered the city to go to the banquet, and a certain family took 300 sons and daughters to go, entered through Yuhangmen, and took the banquet to the end, and took Yuhangmen when he went out of the city and returned to the camp! You raise troops at the same time in Lincao Town, and then drive the soldiers into Yuhangmen to carry out military advice! Kill Zhenjin and Hao Jing, and rob the princess of the ascending country! ”

Although it was late at night, Chen Dexing didn't feel sleepy at all, put out a map of Lin'an, and called the four henchmen who came to Lin'an with him.

Land Rover's eyes were red, and he obviously didn't feel the slightest sleep, how he didn't know that now was the key to survival. If it succeeds, it will be easy to develop if you take a plunder in Jiangnan and then go to Goryeo. If it fails, I'm afraid it will be the fate of being a pirate.

"I'm afraid that tomorrow will be a Hongmen feast!" Lu Hu said the hidden worry in his heart, "It's better to do things overnight, I see that the palace army in Lincao Town is useless, if we suddenly exert force, we can restrain them." Then go straight to Lin'an City, where there are many poor men who have no food and clothing, and they can be coerced to strengthen their momentum and then storm Lin'an City. ”

Land Rover is also talking about the chaos plan formulated by the General Staff Office. Of course, it is impossible to make a big deal with 3,000 people, so it is very necessary to coerce the people. And to coerce the people, the best target is, of course, the poor. It is unlikely that the people in Lin'an will support the rebels, but there must be people in the slums to the east of Lin'an who are willing to follow - the poor have been hoping to rebel since ancient times!

Gao Da echoed: "There is rice grain here in Lincao Town, which can be used to tempt bitter men. There are also a lot of armor weapons in reserve, all of which are inside the yamen of the Left Army Command Division in front of the palace outside the stockade. Moreover, the generals in front of the palace also have swords, guns, bows, arrows, and shields in their homes, and they can be copied out to arm the rebels. ”

Taoist Ren said: "In this way, I am afraid that we will not be able to open Lin'an City, Lin'an City is high and deep, and we have no siege equipment, the only reliable thing is 6 cannons, but this cannon may not be able to blast through the city wall." I think it's better to win the door. As long as we raid the city gate before dark, our soldiers enter the city overnight, and before the three yajun react, maybe we can control the official family, and then the big thing can be decided! ”

It is also an option to take Lin'an, control the emperor, and then command the world in the name of the emperor. However, it is unlikely that this will succeed, because Chen Dexing only brought 3,000 people. Even if it coercs a part of the people, it can't compare to the Zhao family's strength in Lin'an. Although the soldiers and horses of the palace front division, the guard infantry division, and the guard horse army division are somewhat decayed, the number of at least seventy or eighty thousand is still very considerable.

In addition, the official family also has direct access to the front of the palace, don't look at the only more than 1,000 people, but they are one in a million elite. If you pull it into the wilderness and fight with 3,000 Chen family troops, it is not enough, but it is more than enough to defend the imperial city.

Huang Zhishen shook his head: "I'm afraid the imperial city won't be able to enter it...... If you can enter Lin'an City and then surround the imperial city, it will be a success, coerce some people and craftsmen, plunder some goods, and then force the Mongol mission to leave. ”

Chen Dexing smiled coldly, and the words squeezed out from between his teeth seemed to be chewing on steel: "Million is right, after all, we have few people, and the strong men who are coerced can't fight a tough battle...... What if the official family is killed? Zhao Kui will definitely set up another official family in Yangzhou, and then he will be cheaper for others. ”

If you can control the Son of Heaven and the imperial court at once, it will be easy to do, otherwise 3,000 people will stop at the foot of the imperial city, and it will definitely change over time. And at this time, it is Zhao Kui, the great god, who has fought all his life, and he will definitely calmly deploy troops to quell the chaos. If the Son of Heaven dies in the chaos, Zhao Kui will easily set up another emperor, and the Great Song Dynasty will have to fight a civil war like Mongolia!

"Our foundation is weak, even if we win Lin'an and the official family, it will be difficult to control the overall situation......"

Chen Dexing thought about it and said: "It's better to grab a handful and leave, and at the same time make some arrangements in the capital, so that people who can cooperate with us can come to the stage."

As for tomorrow's banquet, don't worry. Our court has long been decayed, and there are a bunch of people who sell fame and reputation inside and outside, how can it be so refreshing to do things? Without going through the Yushitai and Dali Temple, the official family will cry and make a fuss, and I will not be able to go to the Fengbo Pavilion as a hero! If you want to take precautions, you can let the Taoist priest take people into the city with me, 300 people will stay in Yuhangmen, if there is a change in the north, immediately seize the door, and then raise the fire as a number, Lincao here in advance! Kill a fish and die the net! ”

……

It's the same night, and there are so many people who are busy planning big things.

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know when, he had already sneaked into the protocol courtyard in Lin'an City, and at this time he was discussing secretly with Hao Jing and Dou Mo, two great Confucians.

“…… Tomorrow, when His Royal Highness leaves North Neydeokshou Palace, there will be assassinations, and it is the disciples of the Ming Sect, with a whole carriage of heavenly thunder! ”

"Amazing? Will His Highness be in danger? Dou Mo, the teacher of the True Golden Prince, took a cool breath.

Hao Jing smiled: "How can it be dangerous? Those Mingjiao traitors don't recognize His Highness, let's take a carriage to Beinei, and when we come out, it's also a carriage...... As for whether there is anyone inside, who knows? ”

Dou Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Then after the explosion, Chen Dexing will be arrested?" ”

"He can't get out of it!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, "The Nanban officials have long wanted to take him, so they just need an excuse, if there is a big case of assassinating the envoy, can he still have a good end?" ”

Dou Mo said: "But he still has 20,000 soldiers!" ”

Liu Xiaoyuan sneered: "There are only 3,000 in Lin'an City, and they are all outside the city, when the time comes, he can still go?" ”

"But if His Highness is safe, will Nanban be suspicious?" Dou Mo was still a little uneasy.

Hao Jing shook his head: "Why are you suspicious?" His Royal Highness is so noble, and he is in a foreign capital, and there are several stand-ins, so it is right to act carefully. This one...... As long as it makes sense! The key now is to give the Nanban officials an excuse, and there is no need to worry about other things. (To be continued......) R1292
