Tianshui County, Fufeng Province.

Among the twenty-four rules divided by the Five Bucket Rice Road, Fufufu was divided into three rules. And Ma Zihui, who is nominally a wealthy household in Fufeng Prefecture, is the sacrificial wine of one of them, that is, the nominal supreme leader, who oversees the affairs of Yiqiē reads();.

As some areas that have been infiltrated by the Wudou Rice Road, Fufeng Mansion has a large number of believers who have joined the Wudou Rice Road as early as 16 or 7 years ago. In the past few years, it has almost become the core sphere of influence of Wudou Midao. In the Seventeenth Reign where Ma Zihui is located alone, there are more than 10,000 believers, and the number of Taoists who secretly develop in the name of health preservation and martial arts on weekdays also exceeds 600.

Because the power of the government has been invisibly resisted here, many young people only know the five buckets of rice and have no understanding and fear of the empire. On weekdays, even if something is committed, they will find the sacrificial wine ruling of the five buckets of rice road, and they rarely think of going to the government - then again, even if someone goes to the government, it is often difficult to make a big difference.

This is undoubtedly a very terrible thing.

However, for more than a decade, this kind of thing has become commonplace in Fufufu. The local government has been infiltrated so badly that it has turned a blind eye. Ordinary people even faintly took this as a matter of course, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. After a long time, even Wudou Midao himself felt that these affairs should be taken care of by them.

January 18, 672 in the continental calendar.

In the last history of the Qianyuan Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a day worthy of special mention.

The secret agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau had already secretly infiltrated the Fufeng Liyang Second Mansion five days ago. The information about Ma Zihui that I found out was completely different from the "good weather" and "no strange thing in the place" reported by the local government on weekdays. The deep-rooted power of the five buckets of rice behind Ma Zihui made them deeply shocked.

Even if there are already records about the Five Bucket Rice Road in the Military Intelligence Bureau, the assessment during this period is a hundred times worse than what they have seen with their own eyes.

When surveying a few years ago, Wudou Midao had not yet completed its layout, and it was still very low-key. Recently, preparations for the rebellion of Wudou Midao have been nearly completed. Coupled with the uprising of the Taiping Army, Shijun Zhang Fa was determined to speed up the process. For two reasons, the actions of the local government suddenly became much more public, which made the secret agents of the military intelligence bureaus of the two places shudder.

Even if what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg, even if it was enough for them to realize that this was a force that was still above the Taiping bandit army!

Urgent performance of the newspaper through the guò station, one after another began to deliver to Zhongzhou.

However, the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau still underestimated the xenophobia in Liyang Prefecture in Fufeng Prefecture after all.

As people from Zhongzhou, even if they have been disguised, it still arouses the suspicion of some local Wudou Midao believers. If that's the case, then it's not that big of a problem, after all, on the surface, these spies are similar to other foreign businessmen, except for the fact that they like to walk around every day and buy something from time to time, there is nothing particularly suspicious. What really attracted the attention of the Fufeng Mansion's Wudou Midao forces was the overly hasty actions of the military intelligence agents.

After realizing that they had already grasped part of the situation, they came to visit the castle guard of Fufufu Castle at night!

This is understandable, after all, even if the center has taken precautions and is mobilizing troops here, if it wants to completely put down the rebellion, it still needs the assistance of the local government.

It's a pity that this visit was discovered by the people who were installed in the castle guard mansion by Wudou Midao.

"Rebellion...... Pacify...... Ma Zihui ......"

After taking the opportunity to eavesdrop for a moment, the people in the castle guard mansion were taken aback and sent the news out almost without a single qiē. Ma Zihui, who received the alarm, was shocked, and while immediately summoning the people of Zhizhi, he sent a messenger to urgently transmit the bad news back to Longquan Mansion in Baling County.

Due to the importance of the matter, this information was transmitted day and night, and was transmitted back to Longquan Mansion at a speed no less than the Empire's six hundred miles of urgency.

At this time, it was already the early morning of January 20th!

After replacing three messengers in a row and six good horses at any cost, this earth-shattering emergency was sent to the Jingxu Palace. Shijun Zhang Fa, who had just rested for a short time, was woken up together with Zuotian Fan Changsheng and Right Heavenly Master Du Shouxiong, and several big sacrificial wines.

"The matter of the Wudou Midao conspiracy has leaked, and the empire is ready to make a move?"

The short news made it difficult for Shijun Zhang Fa to maintain his dusty image of Daozun, and he was furious.

Wudou Midao is indeed basically ready, but it does not mean that he can start a rebellion at any time. Not only do you need to coordinate in advance, but you also have to wait for a suitable external opportunity. Who would have thought that before the Five Dou Rice Dao was launched, the empire didn't know where to get the news and took the lead.

"Who the hell is it that is bad for me!"

Putting an emergency report, Zhang Fa couldn't help but curse in his heart, and he couldn't wait to peel off the bad people and light the sky lantern.

"It shouldn't be!"

Fan Changsheng is also strange, the rebellion in Taiping County has just been quelled, and there is a battle in the northwest, so the empire should recuperate at this time. Even if you really hear the rumors, there is no real change in Wudou Midao, and it should be mainly to delay appeasement, how can you immediately mobilize troops at any cost?

If Wudou Midao didn't have the determination to rebel immediately, he was afraid that he would have to rebel if he was forced like this!

However, they couldn't imagine that the reason why the empire was in such a hurry was all because of a letter from someone thousands of miles away, and a time limit was marked on it - Shangyuan Festival. Seeing that it is less than a month before the remnants of the party "launch", the empire must of course be in a hurry to take the lead.

"How to leak it can be discussed later. Master, what should we do? ”

Du Shouxiong seemed to be a little overwhelmed and asked, but his eyes were full of ambition and eagerness.

Wudou Midao has been dormant for too long, and the turmoil of the Taiping army has also made them see the "weakness" of the empire. A group of rebels with no foundation can break through the county city at will, forcing the empire to send out the city guards in Zhongzhou to exterminate it, so what about their five buckets of rice Dao?

Who can resist the temptation to win the championship?

The thoughts of the right heavenly master, Zhang Fa's heart was bright.

He knew very well that if the empire didn't notice the movement in the southwest, Wudou Midao could continue to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity. But once the empire sets its sights here, there is no suspense about whether to launch it immediately, and the empire has made a choice for him with practical actions.

It's just that it's hard to decide, and Zhang Fa still hesitates.

In his judgment, now is not the best time to do something!

The Empire's defeat of the cavalry of the Tile Thorns in the Battle of the Northwest is the best proof of this. Although the battle was not actually profitable, the fighting power of the Empire's powerful army was fully revealed. In his plan, if he waited for the Lena Dynasty of the Kingdom of Oman, any foreign enemy would defeat the empire in a frontal battle, even if it was only a small setback, causing political turmoil, it would be the time for Wudou Midao to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, if Qianyuanji can die early and several princes fight for power, it will naturally be better!

If you do it now, you may be able to win for a while, but if you invite the empire to encircle and suppress it at any cost, can you really win?

Zhang Fa's intuition, faintly told him a pessimistic answer reads();.

However, at the moment when the news leaked, Zhang Fa actually had no choice. Fan Changsheng's analysis strengthened his belief in doing it immediately.

"Master Shijun, I'll do it now, although it's a little hasty, there are still three major benefits!"

"First, my five buckets of rice are sitting on the right time, place and people!"

"Harmony, twenty-four governing the people, all trust Shijun; Five buckets of rice road infiltrated Tianshui Baling for many years, can be a battle, according to the city or attack or defend, this is called the geographical advantage; As long as we wait for a few months, at the latest in early summer, foreign states and vassal states will seize the opportunity to attack from the north and south from the east of the empire. At that time, the empire will have to be distracted and divided into three parts. ”

"Second, the empire had just finished the Northwest War, and experienced the Taiping rebellion, and the military and finances were exhausted. In a short period of time, it is difficult to start a new big war. ”

"Third, Wudou Midao immediately attacked, which could seize the opportunity and catch the officers and soldiers off guard. If you hesitate, every day that passes, the opportunity will be lost, and eventually the imperial army will come to the door, inviting the disaster of extermination. ”

"With these three, Wudou Midao should immediately raise troops, and I am afraid of change!"

Fan Changsheng's large analysis was strongly resonated by the Right Heavenly Master Du Shouxiong and several great sacrificial wines, and everyone turned their attention to Shijun Zhang Fa.

The leader who single-handedly founded the Five Bucket Rice Dao silently got up from behind the incense pavilion and the crane sculpture, and came to the wooden table with a huge map spread out, and thought for a long time. The huge Jingxu Palace was quiet for a while, and only the three pillars of incense were burning slowly, exuding a fragrant fragrance that could calm the mind and clear the heart.

"I've made up my mind."

Finally, Shijun Zhang Fa slowly spoke.

The ambition that had been deeply hidden suddenly surged out at this moment.

………

Twenty-four teams of cavalry rushed out of the Jingxu Palace overnight and went straight to the twenty-four areas of Baling Tianshui.

Five days later, the largest rebellion in the empire's history broke out.

In Liyang Hanchang, Shiping Wudu in Tianshui County, Fufeng in Baling County, Fenyu Shiyan and other prefectures, tens of thousands of Taoist people gathered under the order of each to treat sacrificial wine, distributed weapons and food in a unified manner, and launched attacks on the prefectures and counties with the spontaneous support of many Wudoumi Taoist believers. Due to the suddenness of the incident, coupled with the many internal responses, almost overnight, the six mansions fell one after another, and the banner of the Five Dou Mi Dao was hung.

The only Hanchang Mansion that lasted for a long time only lasted for three days.

At the same time, as the foundation of the Wudou Rice Dao, that is, Longquan, the county seat of Baling County, one-third of the soldiers of the two major garrison brigades directly turned against each other and joined the large number of Wudou Midao Daoists who rushed out of the Jingxu Palace. Suddenly suffering from this great change, there were no soldiers left, and there were many choices not to help each other, allowing the less than 2,000 resisting officers and soldiers to be surrounded by the army of Wudou Midao.

In one day, the shape of Longquan took a sharp turn, and the governor of Baling County fled without a fight under the protection of the guards, but unfortunately he was finally chased by the cavalry of Wudou Midao, and one was tied back without pulling.

Due to its strong roots, the blatant rebellion of Godou Midao was hardly resisted by the population. In just a week, more than eighty percent of the territory of Baling County in Tianshui fell into the hands of Wudou Midao. The Daoists scattered in various provinces immediately began to assemble into an army, preparing to deal with the Danyang Division transferred by the empire "in preparation for a rainy day".

When the news came out, the sky was shaking!
