In the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, in 1426 AD, the Miao people of Qionglong in southern Hunan were dissatisfied with the oppression of local officials, and captured the county seat of Qionglong under the leadership of the leaders Zhao Feng and Zhang Yuxiang and held an uprising. The Ming court sent the governor Gao Hanchun, the deputy commander-in-chief Xing Minsheng, and the commander Ren Lian to lead the officers and soldiers to suppress it, and set up the Qingyuan Garrison Division to command the garrison.

Soon after Gao Hanchun and others arrived, they sent officers and soldiers to the battle, with 1,000 soldiers as the vanguard, intending to test the reality of the righteous army.

That night, Gao Hanchun was sitting in the garrison division reading the letter with a candle. The letter was written by Shangshu of the Ministry of War as soon as possible, and the content was to put down the rebellion of the Miao people as soon as possible, establish the prestige of heaven, make the hundred tribes surrender, and return to the dynasty in victory.

Gao Hanchun looked at the letter and thought about it for a long time. The Miao people have been dissatisfied with the indoctrination of the Celestial Empire for a long time, and riots and uprisings have appeared repeatedly since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. He had sent someone to secretly investigate, knowing that the uprising was well-organized, well-planned, and powerful, and it was by no means achieved overnight, so it is conceivable that Zhao Feng and Zhang Yuxiang had been conspiring for a long time and came prepared. But he was ordered to come in a hurry. But at present, the imperial court is constantly urging itself to engage in war and win, and it has only been a few days since it arrived here, and it has already received three letters in a row, which shows that the imperial court is eager to establish prestige among ethnic minorities. However, this Miao uprising is different from the past, not only is the momentum huge, but since the beginning of the uprising, the Miao people from all over the country have responded, and the attack is overwhelming all the way, I am afraid it is not so easy to win.

Just when Gao Hanchun was secretly pondering, Deputy Chief Soldier Xing Minsheng walked in with a gloomy face. As soon as Gao Hanchun saw that it was him, he asked, "Mr. Wu, how did I ask you to inquire about the news a few days ago?" ”

Xing Minsheng said: "I have sent people to investigate according to what the governor said, and the whole incident has been roughly clarified. ”

"Tell me about it!" Alpine spring road.

"The Miao people of Qionglong and Guangxi have always believed in Miao Wu, but five years ago, an organization called itself 'Shang Wu Sect' suddenly appeared in the area. They preached an oracle to the Miao people, saying that only by believing in the god of witches could they enter the divine realm after death, where there was no oppression, hunger, pain, and sorrow, but only joy and happiness. Therefore, in a very short period of time, a large number of Miao people joined it and believed in the witch religion. After these five years of absorption, the Shangwu Sect has become a sect with tens of thousands of people, which can be said to be a universal response, no, a universal ......response," Xing Minsheng said.

Gao Hanchun frowned and said, "Could it be that Zhao Feng and Zhang Yuxiang are the leaders of the Witch Sect?" ”

Xing Minsheng shook his head and said, "This is also what makes me feel strange. Most of the main forces in this rebel army are Shangwu cultists, but Zhao Feng and Zhang Yuxiang are not from the Shangwu Sect, but the two of them can incite countless Shangwu cultists to participate in the uprising, which is really puzzling...... One thing is certain, however, that the witchcraft must be the force behind this uprising. Hmph, what is it to resist the corrupt imperial court? Although the emperor is young, with the assistance of the empress dowager, he is also a saint and virtuous, where can he find such a virtuous and prosperous world? It is obviously a cult to incite rebellion, and he also put his hat on the head of the imperial court, and this clear-eyed person can distinguish right from wrong at a glance! ”

"It's a pity that there are not a few people in this world who are blinded!" Then Gao Hanchun asked Xing Minsheng again: "Since this Zhao Feng and Zhang Yuxiang are not the leaders of the Upper Witch Sect, and they are not even members of the Upper Witch Sect, then who is this Upper Witch Sect Leader?" ”

Xing Minsheng said: "I don't know about this. I only know that the sect leader claims to be a true witch, has a thousand years of cultivation, and has already cultivated into an immortal body, but he can't bear to see the suffering of the world, and wants to purify all sentient beings, so he stays in the world. It is said that this person has great powers, can turn water into oil, turn stones into gold, call for wind and rain, and turn rivers and seas, but there are very few people who really see him, and only those who are in high positions in the church can be fortunate to see him. Even when he participated in some grand events in the church, he covered his head and did not show his true face. ”

Gao Hanchun snorted coldly: "Hmph, so it's mysterious! That's just a trick by the gods and gods who walk the streets and alleys of the towns and put up flags and bells to deceive the ignorant people......"

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the soldiers outside discussing: "How can this be? "The celestial phenomena have become so strange!" "The sky was full of stars just now, where did so many clouds suddenly come?" "Look at the color of the cloud!"

Gao Hanchun and Xing Minsheng walked out of the hall quickly, came to the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the bright moon and stars. Among the many dark clouds, there was a cloud that constantly released thunder and lightning, and each time it was released, the color of the cloud became red, and soon it became red.

"It's like sunset!"

"It's been three watches, and it's not evening, where does the sunset come from?" Someone retorted.

The crimson cloud kept changing its form in the air, and finally turned into the shape of a human face, and the cloud layer was very low, almost a dozen feet away from the ground. The face turned into the clouds is both form and spirit, vivid, and people can't help but sigh at the wonder of heaven and earth.

"This cloud is really interesting, it has become a human face. Don't even say it, it's getting a lot of like. ”

"Shh~ Be quiet, this is a vision from heaven."

"What happened to the vision?"

"Anyone born with such a vision must have evil spirits and troubles, which is not a good sign!"

Gao Hanchun frowned when he heard the discussion of the soldiers, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when suddenly a voice came from the sky: "Gao Hanchun, are you guilty?" ”

Gao Hanchun was startled, hurriedly looked into the sky, and found that the sound was from the strange cloud.

"Demon Cloud! Demon clouds! ”

"Run, there's a monster!"

Where had the soldiers seen such a strange scene, they immediately became a mess.

"All calm!" Xing Minsheng shouted violently, and suddenly suppressed the panicked soldiers, "What are you panicking about? What are you messing with? Don't you see that the Governor and I are both suppressing here? What are you afraid of? Left and right, if anyone dares to shout loudly and run quickly, they will be punished as a troubled army, and they will be beheaded on the spot to show the public, and they will not be tolerated! ”

"Yes!" The ten guards on the left and right stood in response, and pulled out the waist knife with a "cang" sound, although it was ten people who pulled out ten knives, but only made one sound, which shows that they are well-trained on weekdays. When the soldiers saw the long knives in the hands of the guards, as if they were about to fall down on them at any moment, they all became silent, and no one dared to make noise or move around at will.

At this time, Gao Hanchun said loudly to the sky: "Who are you a demon who dares to pretend to be a ghost here?" ”
