Chapter 35: The Incident

As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers.

In this life, Nie Feng was born as an orphan and only had two sworn brothers.

One is Fang Shiyu and the other is Hu Fei.

Fang Shiyu is pure by nature, clever and intelligent, and is valued by Chen Jialuo, and has been adopted as a righteous son a year ago.

Now Fang Shiyu is working at the helm of the Red Flower Society, and he is just an ordinary little 'Sijiu'.

And Nie Feng's other brother, Hu Fei, is in the north at the moment, being his own hero, not long ago he just swore to the three masters of the Red Flower Society, Zhao Banshan, it is the young man who is proud, and he doesn't want to come to the south at all.

Without the help of the two sworn brothers, Nie Feng had no choice but to come to the Supreme Zen Master, thinking that Hong Xiguan and the others could quickly form a team as long as they pulled these brothers under his hands.

After being in the plane of "Crazy Boy", Nie Feng has a deep understanding of brotherhood.

One man, two brothers.

This sentence is definitely not just a casual talk, it is a real fateful friendship.

The Supreme Zen Master listened to Nie Feng's appeal, and sighed slightly in his heart, he was one of the founders of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he and Chen Jinnan were also good brothers who had been friends for eight worships.

If the situation is weak today, the rise of the Red Flower Society is imminent, and after Nie Feng joins the Red Flower Society, there is a lot of chaos.

As the master's supreme Zen master, he was really embarrassed to refuse the apprentice's request.

It's just that he cultivated these disciples, and they were all going to be sent to the Heaven and Earth Society, if he was pulled to the Red Flower Society by Nie Feng, and met with Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, in the future, I'm afraid it would not be easy to explain.

Think for a moment.

The supreme Zen master recited the Buddha's name, and then he made up his mind.

Heaven and Earth will not be as good as before, but the safflower will be thriving, if his apprentice Nie Feng can really drive out the Tartars, he will not be able to control so many portals.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Zen Master called the little novice who was serving outside the door and asked him to call in a few of his former apprentices.

Unlike previous years, everyone has changed a lot.

The monk Sande looked extraordinarily strong, his muscles bulged, and he held up the monk's robes.

Hong Xiguan put away his brave appearance in the past, his breath became more and more calm, and he looked like a general.

Lu Acai and Tong Qianjin still have no brains, and they look simple.

Only Ma Ning'er has gloomy eyebrows and a pair of triangular eyes, just like a poisonous snake.

Hu Huiqian, Wu Xiaoliu and other little followers also mixed up at this moment and followed in.

Not long after, more than 30 brothers and sisters from the past walked in.

The Red Flower Society is a well-known organization in Guangdong, and although it is wanted by the imperial court, its reputation is much better than that of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Among the more than 30 people present, most of them were Cantonese, and they naturally congratulated Nie Feng for joining the Red Flower Society.

Then the Zhishan Zen Master said that Nie Feng was going to set up the Honghua Hall in Fujian, and said that he was looking for help from his brothers and sisters, and he would voluntarily participate if he was willing to participate, and he would never force it.

After the Supreme Zen Master finished speaking, Nie Feng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Senior brothers, junior brothers, the Tartar court has persecuted my Han people for a long time, and the officials in the court and China are becoming more and more corrupt, causing the people of Li to suffer unbearably......"

If Nie Feng can stay for a few days and run in with a few more brothers, the effect may be better.

But as one of the founders of the Heaven and Earth Society, the Supreme Zen Master must not allow Nie Feng to dig into his corners.

Now that the best Zen master has given Nie Feng a chance to win over, it can be regarded as an open net.

Nie Feng had no choice but to seize the opportunity to talk about class feelings with everyone.

In this way, the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

In the past, he had a good relationship with Nie Feng, and he might be willing to follow, for example, Wu Xiaoliu.

There are also those who feel that they have nothing to do as a monk and are willing to go out for a while, such as Tong Qianjin, Lu Acai, etc.

There are also some disciples who know Nie Feng's skills, are optimistic about Nie Feng's prospects, and place bets in advance, such as Hu Huiqian and others.

Most of the disciples are still unwilling to follow Nie Fenggan, like Hong Xiguan, he belongs to the fans of the hardcore Heaven and Earth Society, his father is a hall master of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he worships under the door of the Supreme Zen Master, which is his father's arrangement.

There is also Ma Ning'er, who feels that he is talented, and he is blushing at Nie Feng now, but he thinks that as long as he becomes a teacher, he will definitely not be worse than him. How could it be driven by Nie Feng.

This time, among the more than thirty disciples, there were only sixteen disciples who were willing to follow Nie Feng and leave.

Among these people, led by Lu Acai and Tong Qianjin, as well as the four hardcore junior brothers of the two of them, as well as Wu Xiaoliu, Hu Huiqian, etc., the disciples who were originally good friends with Nie Feng.

Nie Feng stayed in Xichan Temple for one night, and the next day, he hurried down the mountain with sixteen people.

To be honest, like he is now in the Tartar court, he is already a top wanted criminal, and Chen Jialuo is at the same level, and a reward of 10,000 gold is offered.

Nie Feng couldn't believe that there would be a traitor under the Supreme Zen Master, he could only try to be cautious.

Nie Feng set off with sixteen senior brothers and picked up the two wives of Yuan Ziyi and Cheng Lingsu, as well as the four daughters of Shen Mingji, Aiyun, Huiqian, and Zhao.

A group of more than 20 people directly found a passenger boat and went down the river to Zhejiang.

Nie Feng's caution still played a role.

When he left Fuzhou on the front foot, there was news of Fuzhou Mansion and the whole city of Dasuo on the back foot, arresting him.

When Nie Feng heard about this later, he felt afraid.

After finding sixteen junior brothers, Nie Feng took out the plan he had arranged earlier and began to negotiate with several junior brothers.

When it is said that it is a consultation, it is a bit of a high opinion of these senior brothers.

Whether it is Lu Acai or Tong Qianjin, they are all reckless people, let them fight, they may be a fierce general, let them talk about the battle plan, it will be a mess.

On the way out by boat, it was basically Nie Feng who said, and all the senior brothers listened carefully.

Nie Feng's plan is to use the past events of the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' to induce everyone.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the largest peasant war in Chinese history.

If Hong Xiuquan had not indulged in a luxurious life in the later period, it was likely that the Manchu Qing would have been overthrown.

Of course, there is no if.

Nie Feng's plan to take the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is mainly because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's methods are too down-to-earth and in line with the mainstream thinking of the current Han people.

Hong Xiuquan spent six years preaching, and after the incident, in two years, a general trend was formed, sweeping half of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The plan formulated by Nie Feng has not even changed its name, it is called Taiping Sect, which is easy to understand.

After just one month of training, Nie Feng brainwashed these sixteen junior brothers, although it was impossible to let himself command arbitrarily, but he could also reach the point of life and death together.

After brainwashing these brothers and sisters, he taught them some methods, means, and tips for preaching.

First of all, the mission area must be surrounded by the countryside and the city.

After all, rural people lack food and clothing, and it is easier for them to accept the teachings of the Taiping Sect.

Second, establish a strict and strict hierarchy, which is basically transmitted in a straight line, so as to avoid one person being arrested by the government and implicating others.

Thirdly, in terms of geography, after dividing the region in detail, including Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Guangxi, the information was disseminated by using the well-known method of peace (harmony) in later generations.

The last point, and the main thing, is money!

It takes money to recruit troops.

To spread the teachings, especially to convince the poor people, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy food, buy other materials, and so on.

Nie Feng considered himself the only godfather of the Taiping Sect, Yuan Ziyi, Cheng Lingsu, and Ma Chunhua, who was still in Guangzhou, as his godmother, and even the four daughters of Shen Mingji, Aiyun, Huiqian, and Zhao all got the title of 'goddess'.

When I first started disseminating information, it was naturally a little inconvenient.

However, Nie Feng used Cheng Lingsu's extraordinary medical skills to make more than a dozen kinds of convenient and effective medicinal powders, and even spent a lot of money to get a large number of ginseng and grind it into ginseng powder.

With these medicinal powders, the disciples searched for goodness and spread the teachings as a monk.

In the beginning, it was really slow.

Later, Nie Feng killed many local gentry who were rich and unkind through force, and bought a large amount of grain, which can be regarded as spending money and gaining a firm foothold.

Zhejiang is rich in production, and the people should not be poor, but the imperial court issued a large number of taxes, layer by layer, resulting in the people of Zhejiang, living miserably, not much better than the people in the north.

In addition, there are typhoons and floods every year, and basically every county has to suffer a lot of disasters.

Nie Feng's strategy of surrounding the city with the countryside can be said to have taken a big advantage.

In less than a year, it attracted 100,000 believers in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces, and the teachings of the Taiping Sect were also widely spread among the people.

If it weren't for Nie Feng's decree that the sect members would not be allowed to enter the city for two years, I'm afraid that the Taiping Sect would have surpassed the name of the Red Flower Society.

Nie Feng took the women to wander around, constantly exerting their magical powers, and the number of believers naturally continued to increase.

In the blink of an eye, in the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, the Taiping Sect had been established for two years.

The Taiping Sect has more than one million members, and the spread is strictly restricted by Nie Feng, and it is not allowed to spread to the north.

Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces have all spread the virus.

"It's too expensive!"

In the past two years, Nie Feng has intercepted and killed the rich and unkind squires and tyrants, at least more than 100, and the gold and silver goods robbed at least more than 5 million taels of silver.

Thirty percent of this silver was used to buy food to help spread the teachings, and the other two percent was used to recruit soldiers and horses, and the Taiping army in various places had 50,000 people, and now they are hiding soldiers among the people.

The other half of the gold and silver is used to pay the officials of the county and state capitals.

Successive imperial courts have adopted a policy of cracking down on the spread of the congregation.

The teachings of the Taiping Sect are obviously against the imperial court, and if Nie Feng had not spent a lot of gold and silver, I am afraid that the name of the Taiping Sect would have been hung on Qianlong's pillow long ago.

Now that the Taiping Sect can still develop well, it can be said that Nie Feng spent millions of taels of silver to buy a peaceful situation.

"Brother Feng, why don't we revolt!"

Over the years, Cheng Lingsu has followed Nie Feng to go all over the world, and has seen countless tragic stories of bureaucrats who are corrupt, corrupt and bend the law, collude with local tyrants, and frame the people.

At this moment, her heart was full of anger towards the Manchu Tartars.
