Chapter 116: Cover-up

Suzhou City, the capital of Suzhou in the southeast of Great Xia, is also an important town in the southeast of Great Xia, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's late at night, the gate of Suzhou City is closed, there are many torches burning on the city wall, the garrison of Suzhou is on duty at the head of the city, some military officers will patrol back and forth, such a closely guarded scene, in Suzhou has not been seen for many years, if it is not for the Zoroastrian rebellion, presumably Suzhou will always be calm, but, at this time, the soldiers at the head of the city will not dare to be careless, Zoroastrianism is now powerful, claiming to have a million troops, has broken through a number of prefectures, county towns, Zoroastrians are fierce, kill officials and kill big households, rape and plunder, Although there are also garrisons in the city of Suzhou, they have not gone through the battle formation, and they are unable to fight against Zoroastrianism, so they can only rely on the city to hold on and wait for the imperial court to send an army to rescue.

In the dense forest not far from the gate of Suzhou City, Niu Jinzheng led a group of cadres to lurk, they came to seize Suzhou City tonight, just waiting for the Zoroastrian disciples in Suzhou City to open the city gate.

Niu Jin stared at the torches on the tower of the city gate, his eyes were eager, as long as he took the gate of Suzhou City, he would make a great achievement, and his status in Zoroastrianism would be promoted again and enter the upper echelons of Zoroastrianism.

Calculate the time, Niu Jin left Lingzhou, brought a few brothers out to break through for several years, thought that with his own ability to break out of the world, but the result was everywhere hit the wall, mixed very unsatisfactory, several times almost died, however, more than a year ago, he came to run, by chance became a member of Zoroastrianism, and quickly won the appreciation of some leaders, more than a year, Niu Jin's status has been continuously improved, of course, this is not unrelated to his many contributions to Zoroastrianism. Speaking of which, some of the things Niu Jin did for Zoroastrianism, many times, used some of the methods he learned from the brotherhood, at the beginning, Niu Jin looked down on these indiscriminate methods, but after personally trying the effectiveness of these methods, I have to say that these methods are not on the table, whether it is for the organization of Zoroastrians, or against those big families and officials, they often have miraculous effects.

Speaking of the Brotherhood, Niu Jin has often heard rumors of the Brotherhood in recent years, for what the Brotherhood did, he was really very surprised, originally he was not very affordable, thought that those boys who had no ambition actually rebelled, not only occupied Lingzhou, but also defeated the imperial army several times, the world is famous, remembering what he said when he left the Brotherhood, Niu Jin really couldn't wipe his face, but, every time he thought of this, a pride rose in his heart, he was confident that he was no worse than those boys of the Brotherhood, and he was now also the leader of Zoroastrianism, The Brotherhood only occupies one part of Lingzhou, but Zoroastrianism has swept through several states, and besides, Zoroastrianism has great ambitions to build a new world where everyone has land and everyone has enough to eat, so that everyone can bathe in the light of the holy fire.

Niu Jin firmly believes that Zoroastrianism will definitely be able to overthrow Great Xia, win the world, and establish a new dynasty, and he will also be famous all over the world and leave his name in history. One day, he wants to return to Lingzhou in style, so that those boys of the Brotherhood can see his majesty!

"The city is broken!"

With a burst of weapons striking and shouting to kill, the gate of Suzhou City was opened, some people shouted, and the soldiers on the city gate tower and the city wall panicked,

"Brothers, Mingzun bless! Kill! ”

Niu Jin shouted, jumped out, and led his men to rush to the city gate, followed by a burst of cheers, and the Zoroastrians rushed to the gate of Suzhou City like a tide, and rushed into the city at once. Not long after, some houses in Suzhou City burst into flames, and countless people ran and cried, shouting and killing shook the sky. By dawn, after a night of chaos and fighting, the city of Suzhou fell into the hands of Zoroastrianism.

Captured the important town of Suzhou City, Zoroastrianism completely occupied the land of Suzhou, Zoroastrianism rose sharply, and at the same time, obtained a large amount of silver, grain and grass, equipment, weapons, and after that, Zoroastrianism captured some cities one after another. The resistance of the imperial garrison was weaker than expected, and the successive victories made the Zoroastrian high-level overjoyed, and they let go of their hands and feet to attack, and even took two state cities in a row, so far, Zoroastrianism occupied the land of three states, and after that, Zoroastrianism encountered obstacles.

Some of the soldiers and horses mobilized by the imperial court arrived, although there were not many, but they were elite soldiers, and there were some fierce generals who led, the general Zoroastrian team was not an opponent at all, after being killed by the generals, the Zoroastrian people would scatter, and at the same time, the Zoroastrian soldiers and horses were also attacked by some armies of unknown origin, and later learned that it was an army organized by some wealthy families.

After all, Daxia has been established for so long, and there is still a heritage, many people are loyal to Daxia, or in other words, the interests of these people are tied to Daxia, especially some wealthy families, who are local emperors, have been operating for many years, and have inherited the family.

Zoroastrianism was able to sweep several states before, causing such a big momentum, a big factor was that the local officials and wealthy families were completely unprepared and were caught off guard, and now, they slowly reacted, besides, Zoroastrianism wantonly killed big families, touched their nerves, united with each other, and gathered strength to fight Zoroastrianism.

So, these wealthy families gathered up the generals, and the Zoroastrian soldiers will compete in the southeast of Great Xia, some outstanding characters appeared, if it is in the peace period, a person wants to get ahead, mainly relying on family background and various relationships, many talented people are difficult to get ahead, but, to this situation, these people have the opportunity to show their talents, just as the high-level Zoroastrian leaders were originally some little-known figures, and now Zoroastrianism has risen, showing their talents, and is famous all over the world.

It stands to reason that the children of wealthy families seem to have more advantages, since they were young, they have no worries about food and clothing, study and practice martial arts, and they are naturally stronger than small families or reckless backgrounds, however, reckless backgrounds are not without advantages, they are mixed up in the rivers and lakes early, contact with the world, have flexible brains, and are not bound by some conventional thinking.

At the same time as the Zoroastrian rebellion, there were also some small-scale uprisings in some other states of Great Xia, and the Zoroastrian rebellion was like a fuse, and some of the contradictions that had accumulated in Great Xia broke out one by one, and chaos was everywhere.

At the same time, Lingzhou, located in the southwest of Great Xia, is a piece of peace, the people of Lingzhou have basically adapted to the life under the rule of the brotherhood, running around every day for a living, few people have noticed that recently Lingzhou has come to some people from other states, most of these people are relatives of some captured people, naturally there will be no special treatment, just treat them as ordinary people, those who abide by the rules stay, and those who do not abide by the rules will be driven out.

As the territory grows larger, the Brotherhood's manpower becomes more and more overstretched, and more manpower and soldiers are needed, and most of those who are captured are young and strong, which is naturally an excellent source of soldiers. In addition, after being captured, they were fed every day and engaged in a lot of manual labor, some of which even aroused their anger. Of course, it doesn't mean that if the Gang Qi is stimulated, the Brotherhood will recruit these people, the premise is that it must go through ideological education and training, selection, assessment, and eliminate some undesirable elements such as soldiers and ruffians, so that they can become soldiers under the banner of the Brotherhood, Xiao Tianlei's principle is that he would rather lack than abuse, he doesn't want a mouse to be a bad pot of soup, the chaotic situation in Great Xia, he doesn't see it, but he doesn't have any ideas, he won't mix, according to the original plan, steady development, and silently accumulate strength.

Recently, there have been some criticisms of the Brotherhood in Zhushan Academy, and it is said that the people who speak are some celebrities, saying that the Brotherhood is short-sighted, and it is difficult to become a big weapon in the eyes of ******** money, and sooner or later it will be finished, Xiao Tianlei ignored them when they farted.

Originally, those guys who had opinions about the Brotherhood would generally be driven out of Lingzhou, but, firstly, these people were just engaged in academics, and it was not possible to say how malicious they were to the Brotherhood, and secondly, these remarks of this group of scribes were not harmful to the Brotherhood, and could be seen as a cover for others to lower their vigilance against the Brotherhood, after all, the Brotherhood had a lot of limelight a while ago, and it should be low-key. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei just let them think nonsense and talk nonsense, a group of literati argue together all day long, saying that the sky can't create a dime of value.

Because of the recent chaos in Great Xia, what they talk about the most is the various shortcomings of Great Xia, which are basically an afterthought, and now they are pretending to be like prophets, where did they go before? As for the idea of self-government that they preach, my God! Everyone thinks that their own theory of governance is the best, and other people's theories are useless, inclusive and understandable? Do you understand how to learn from each other's strengths? If you really think that your own family is the only truth in the world, only if your brain is caught by the door, will you toss the country to them.

However, the remarks of these celebrities have been transmitted to other states through some channels, and have caused a lot of impact in the entire Great Xia, as for Lingzhou, there are not many scribes in Lingzhou now, and they are circulated in a certain circle, or as a talking point for some people, it basically has no impact on Lingzhou.

As for the ordinary people in Lingzhou, what they are most concerned about now is how to do things well and make more money, there are many new things in Lingzhou now, and seeing others have new things, who doesn't want to have them at home? It's just that everything costs money, fortunately, there are many opportunities to work in Lingzhou now, as long as you work well, the salary is still good, yes, the average person doesn't care about the remarks of the celebrities, and more cares about the new orders of the leader of the brotherhood, if someone in his family can join the brotherhood, it would be the best.

Nowadays, the people of Lingzhou gradually know the function of some facilities and institutions established by the Brotherhood, such as hospitals, which were originally thought to be pharmacies, but later learned that they are full of miracle doctors, and some diseases that were originally only a dead end can be cured by the Brotherhood's hospitals, but the Brotherhood's miracle doctors generally only treat members of the Brotherhood and their immediate family members, and others have to depend on luck. Similar to hospitals, Brotherhood schools only admit the children of Sangoe and Brotherhood members, as do other institutions that prioritize needs within the Brotherhood.

Although the Brotherhood did not say that the members of the Brotherhood were one level higher than the average person, this series of welfare measures made the members of the Brotherhood a privileged class in Lingzhou in disguise. For these privileges, the people of Lingzhou naturally want to, but it is really difficult to join the brotherhood, only envy, jealousy and hatred, secretly say some bad things, and expect anyone in their own family to join the brotherhood, even the most ordinary members.

These ordinary people in Lingzhou can't know that the Brotherhood has already laid down a territory larger than Lingzhou in the west, and it is the time when people are needed.

For almost all the people of Great Xia, the western region was a barbarian and uncivilized region, and it had never been very affordable. Those countries have always revered Great Xia very much, and are proud to be a vassal country of Great Xia, and continue to send people to learn some of the culture of Great Xia, which is basically a copy of the brain, as long as it is something of Great Xia, it must be a good thing!

Therefore, Bactria advocated Buddhism, and these countries also followed suit, established large and small temples, and supported many monks, and the spread of Buddhism in these countries did play a significant role in the rule of these countries, and many countries were able to be in a relatively stable state for many years, and the royal family could sit on the throne without worrying about accepting rebellion all the time.

Originally, as a ruler, they borrowed some ideas spread by Buddhism to make the common people accept their fate and be obedient to stabilize their rule, but as a result, they themselves believed in it, took the nonsense of those monks fooling people seriously, and spent a lot of money on Buddhist affairs, then they would be stupid.

In some countries, there are many Buddhist temples, and many people have gone to become monks, do not farm or work, chant scriptures every day, and wait for others to make offerings. Therefore, when Zheng Biao and others led people over, some princes and nobles were still holding a grand blessing ceremony to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, what did these guys think?

Those temples were looted, for these guys and those monks, all escorted to be slave labor, disobedient to clean up, as a result, the act of destroying the Buddha caused a backlash, those monks called on faithful believers to resist, those believers also responded to the call, besieged the army of the Brotherhood, these people also let the monks fool the foolish, the combat effectiveness was so weak that they took a stick and dared to fight with the regular army of the Brotherhood, nothing more than relying on the large number of people, thinking that the Brotherhood army did not dare to do anything to them, a few bombs were dropped, and the people led by were hacked to death, as well as some monks, were immediately frightened and scattered.

In addition, this time, the golden ape Wukong and Thunder, who was given the hero template, were sent here to fight and get game coins, Thunder has not grown up yet, and he is still a little naïve and not to mention, many people saw Wukong's size and huge stick, and they were directly frightened silly, thinking that some kind of god and monster in the mountain appeared, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The expedition went unexpectedly well, and in many cities, the Brotherhood's troops drove outside the city and surrendered directly, symbolically without resisting.

However, the conquest of the Brotherhood army was still slowed down, mainly because they swallowed a large area of land at once, some indigestion, and could not spare enough manpower to manage it, and kept the existing control area, but they did not stop attacking, but no longer occupied the land, but specifically attacked some big cities, mainly plundering, plundering grain, artisans, strange gold, gold, silver and jewelry, etc., these areas are too rich, and I am sorry not to rob myself.

Xiao Tianlei has been busy with government affairs all day recently, he is a little dizzy, his mood is a little depressed, but he also wants to go to the west to relax, but unfortunately, this time, he can't participate, the reason why he stayed in Lingzhou, first, is to personally deal with various government affairs, and secondly, many actions, he is in the limelight, he is now more attention-grabbing, he moves, all know that the brotherhood must have some big moves.

Fortunately, when Zheng Biao and others were attacking, Xiao Tianlei's system gold coins rose gradually, which was a little psychological comfort, so that he could finally buy some hero templates that he had always wanted to try, and after trying out these new hero templates, Xiao Tianlei had some new means in his hands.
