Chapter 36: The Yellow Heavenly Sect

The entire territory of Weiguo is not big in the southern countries, strictly speaking, in fact, it is only a total of two states, namely Wei and Cang, among which because the founding ancestor of Weiguo was born in Weizhou, so the country is called Wei.

There are five types of administrative regions within a country, but the size of each level is not measured by a unified standard, and most of them are distinguished according to the ancient system, which leads to great differences in the size of each state.

Just like Haizhou, the largest territory of the Liang State, in terms of size alone, it is at least twice as large as Yongzhou in the west, and the reason why the Wei State dares to go against the powerful Liang State is that the territory of the two states under it is not small, after the merger with the two states of the Jin State, it can almost compete with the Liang State with six states, although it is still a lot weaker on the surface, but fortunately, it occupies a favorable geographical position, and it can still be resisted, and it is not difficult to resist.

Among them, the position of Cangzhou is close to the south side, starting from the east, surrounding to the south, drawing a wonderful arc, as if it was an swaddling baby, isolating the peep of the Liang and Jin Erguo, and Weizhou, which was wrapped in its arms, is the weakest inner belly of the defense of the country, of which the capital of the defense of the country is located in Weizhou.

Defending the country has always relied on the terrain, there is the natural danger of Qilian Mountain, although the attack is slightly insufficient, but the defense is more than enough, even the unstoppable Liang country has not attacked the Qilian Mountain, hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen face this unattainable, cloud-shrouded mountains, but also to stop the horse, this is also the pride of the patriots.

It is precisely because of this unique geographical advantage that the disputes of the countries in the south over the years have been tilting against each other, and the country is obviously in the center of the whirlpool, but it has not been affected at all, and the internal peace has been long and very rich, the imperial court has sufficient savings, grain and grass are complete, and the soldiers and horses have been fighting for decades, which is one of the biggest support points for Duanmu Shuofeng's ambitions.

Only after having enough background can you dare to say such a thing as counterattacking Liangguo, otherwise if you can't even afford to eat, who would think of these problems?

Cangzhou was actually not as big as it is now, because in order to let the Jin State send troops to defend the country, galloped to Yanran Lake to resist the Liang State, and during the negotiation, he generously ceded the entire three counties in the past, which made Cangzhou suddenly expand to the point where it is today.

In the face of the insatiable patriots, they had no choice but to cede the entire three counties, and then twenty years, they were ashamed of the country by the people of insight of the Jin State, and it was reported that among the people who went to negotiate that year, they could not bear the abuse of the people at the door of the people, and there were a full thirteen people who died by hanging, which is really a history of blood and tears.

Since then, these three counties have become the territory of the country, I don't know how many people in the middle can not bear this blow, and commit suicide in anger, for 20 years, the people of these three counties have been deliberately suppressed by the local people of the country, and they do not have a sense of identity with the country, but the Jin State will not accept them, and the people of the three counties in the middle are naturally miserable, and even the gathering of people to make trouble, and even rebellion, it happens from time to time.

It is in this place where the situation is complicated that a new force has suddenly emerged recently.

One of the three counties, in the county seat of Lingnan County, a brand-new house is being built, and the location of the site is impartial, and it is next to the yamen of the city lord's mansion, which looks like the official yamen.

In fact, the whole house can now see the prototype, but it is not the same as the architectural style of the southern countries, there is no kind of big courtyard that shows the wealth of the owner's family, and deliberately makes a few in and out of the big courtyard, there is no wall around, it is directly a conspicuous big house, with a high roof and a large ridge, from top to bottom, it is like a tridiamond-shaped cover, directly buckled on the four walls below, the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the city is excellent, according to the drawings, add bricks and tiles, the speed is extremely fast, it looks like it can be completely completed in less than a week.

At the entrance of the house, serious patriotic officials put their hands behind their backs, looking at the busy construction site in front of them, and at the same time chatting with their colleagues or wealthy businessmen in the city.

Among them, the man standing at the head of the procession, about thirty years old, with a handsome face, between his eyebrows, was a compassionate look, wearing a white shirt without any variegation, but the style of the clothes was different from the long shirt of an ordinary scribe, nor the kind of short shirt worn by a farmer, but from top to bottom, it was a completely whole wide-sleeved robe, which was simply tied with hemp rope in the middle, even if it was a belt, and there was no other color on the clothes, and the whole person looked extremely holy.

The official who is headed by the back is the master of the local yamen, and he can be regarded as the confidant of the county guard, and he is also one of the supervisors here.

Seeing that things were going well, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand to the man in white, "Hey, this adult。。。。。。 ”

When the man heard the movement, he slowly turned his head and interrupted him with a smile, "I'm not an adult, you should call me a 'holy envoy'." ”

As soon as he said this, there were several other men in coarse linen clothes standing behind him, all of whom cast unkind glances at this yamen master, as if they didn't agree with each other and were about to make a move.

This master is also interested in this, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it was my slip of the tongue, it was the Holy Envoy, please forgive the Holy Envoy." ”

The man turned around, looked at the more and more well-shaped room in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are all bathed in the glory of the Father, we are all brothers to each other, just a little slip of the tongue, nothing." ”

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart, then you still struggled with a title, if it weren't for the county guard lord who saw that you had done a good job in appeasing the people, how could my master of a county guard mansion be so polite to you, a common man? And I am polite to you, you really take yourself seriously? Ridiculous!

After the man finished speaking, he turned his head and admonished the believers dressed as crop men next to him: "Do not be quick to anger, forgive their sins, it is your own glory, may God the Father bless you!"

When the believers next to them heard this, they immediately showed guilt, put their left hand on their right chest, knelt down on one knee in front of the man, and shouted in unison: "May God the Father bless you." ”

When the court officials on the other side saw this, they all showed disdain, if it weren't for the fact that this holy envoy was quite appreciated by the county guard, they would not have been so polite, I am afraid that they would directly let the officers and soldiers arrest these cultists.

How many people in the human race in the Western Continent will take myths and legends as the truth? Not to mention this kind of unheard-of heresy, that is, these ordinary fools will choose to believe it, but anyone like them who has read the books of sages for several years will not be able to believe this kind of nonsense.

The sage said, Worship ghosts and gods and stay away.

The human race in the Western Continent, from the atrium to the south, has always adhered to a principle, that is, not to slander the Divine Mansion, but they have never said that they want to believe in it, advocating that they can become immortals by themselves and enjoy immortality alone Huang Laozhi has been prevalent for a while, but that is also in the past, not to mention this so-called belief in the only true god, and even use their own things to support each other, these officials will only think it is bullshit.

This so-called Father God Palace was actually built for him according to the will of the county guard, in order to restrain the people of the Jin Kingdom.

After these three counties were divided from the Jin State, the people who originally belonged to the Jin State complained because of this, and often committed riots, and there were dozens of patriotic officials who died here, behind this, there may also be the sneaky push of the Jin State, in short, after a bloody suppression ten years ago, although the resistance force on the surface was temporarily gone, but secretly, there were more, specifically for the assassination of the Patriotic People, and the Patriotic Court was also anxious about the three counties, and did not know how to deal with it.

You can't kill all the people, let's not talk about the question of killing the wrong person or not, the people are gone, and you want an empty space to have a fart? Is it possible to fill in all the people from other places?

But just a few days ago, I don't know where the man in front of him came from, he claimed to be the messenger of the Father, came here to preach, and soon gathered a large group of people at the bottom and established a thing called "Huangtianjiao", originally the court wanted to get rid of it directly, after all, the people, if it is a mess of scattered sand, it is very easy to deal with, because everyone has selfish intentions, and if they give a little benefit, they can divide them, but once they are really together, it will be very troublesome.

In the past, most of the riots were such group behaviors, and those people rebelled against the patriotic officers and soldiers under the banner of working for the well-being of the people of the three counties, and even when they searched from house to house, the local people would hide them, even at the expense of themselves, which made it very difficult to carry out the encirclement and suppression.

It is precisely because of this experience that after the court arranged it, it suddenly led troops to break into the assembly of this group of people and arrested this person, but I didn't expect it to cause great turmoil, and the original court was even more murderous about it, after all, the majesty and law of the court are the most important, you let the people believe in you, and even resist the court, this is a capital crime!

The higher the prestige of such a person among the people, the more damned it is!

Unexpectedly, this person sat and talked with the local county keeper in prison for a whole night, and the final result was that not only was he released by the imperial court, but in the end, the imperial court took the initiative to fund the construction of this so-called Father God Palace for him.

Although outsiders don't understand why, they still think that even the county keeper has joined the church, but the master, as the confidant of the county guard, naturally knows why.

Because the means that the imperial court can use against these three counties, whether it is to appease or violently suppress, for the people in this land, the effect is counterproductive, and the result is half the effort, but this person can appease the people for the imperial court, the most important thing is that after talking with him, the county keeper found that this person did not have the slightest idea of rioting, and the teachings were all advocating truth, goodness, and beauty, which happened to be in line with the interests of the county guard!

He wants to make political achievements here, so as to seek a way to rise in the official position, and this task really has to fall on this person, so he attaches great importance to him.

In this regard, the imperial court also sent back the news, saying that after investigating the identity of this person, it was found that it was an ordinary patriot, and it was not from Lingnan County, but an ordinary farmer in a small village in Weizhou, who suddenly fell seriously ill one day and was in a coma for three days and three nights.

Since there is no big problem with his identity, and there is no problem with the doctrine, the final attitude of the imperial court is to let him go, neither openly support him, nor secretly stumble on him, anyway, as long as you can help the imperial court pacify the people here and stop making trouble, then it doesn't matter what he is.

In any case, as long as the imperial court has military power, even if things deteriorate in the end, troops can be sent to directly eradicate it at any time, and even the imperial court has already sent people to infiltrate this "Yellow Heaven Sect" to secretly learn their teachings, and finally when the time is ripe, they will directly kill this person, and then replace him, completely becoming a puppet of the imperial court to manipulate the people.
