Chapter 557: Beacon Flames Spread
In the naval battle that took place in the South China Sea, the navies of the old continent powers, which were originally violent, were completely torn off the mask of sincere unity by Lu Bin's unscientific electromagnetic cannon.
If the gunboats are too densely concentrated, the navies of the countries will be attacked at an extremely long distance at the first time. With the flagship of the treasure ship of the "aircraft carrier" class as the core, there is no exception to the nirvana field with a radius of two hundred miles.
The sea wolves from the powers of the Old World chose to fight separately in panic, and as a result, they were attacked by pirates ten times their own, not only the South China Sea pirates led by Ximen Fuyu, the whip of the South China Sea, but also the East China Sea pirates who surrendered to Lu Bin.
Losing the co-lord of both prestige and strength, the East China Sea pirates finally decided on ten leaders with similar forces after a battle within the East China Sea before the blood of the sons and daughters completely stained the East China Sea seas red.
Among them, there is the personal maid of the widow of the former East China Sea pirate king Cheng who inherited the artifact of the ruins by virtue of the token, and the nine pirate leaders, because they disobeyed each other, no one was able to ascend to the throne of the pirate king.
At the same time, in the face of the aggressive offensive of the pirates of the South China Sea, no one is an opponent alone, so the ten pirate leaders who were beaten and feared chose to surrender very wisely.
Lu Bin poured the immortal art of controlling the sea breeze into the ring, forged ten pieces for this purpose, and gave these ten East China Sea pirate leaders to reformulate the East China Sea Pirate Convention.
As a result, the commercial alliance led by Qiongya-Guangfu developed by leaps and bounds, not only mastering the trade routes between the Middle-earth Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, but also entering the Yellow Sea.
"When necessary, I can send a fleet of ironclad gunboats to attack Tianjin from Dagukou, and the marines accompanying the ship, with the loyal and locked Prayer Organizer Armor Regiment as sharp knives, will be fiercely inserted into Yanjing, which is occupied by the barbarians, and completely eradicate the wild boar skins and hardcore crops. Fulfill my vow to drive out the Tartars and restore China, cleanse this fishy land, and restore my Chinese clothes!"
The allied forces of the Old World powers were sniped by the commercial alliance, and the raging flames of war were thus kept out of the country. At the same time, the fire sown by Lu Bin to all parts of the country has also taken root and begun to sprout.
In particular, the two lakes, which are known as the granaries of the world, have been exploited by the barbarian Tatar chieftains for many years to exploit the land, and even the sweet potatoes can not bear it, and the unbearable poor people have risen up one after another, thus forming the source of the world.
The black wood cliff of Niubei Mountain at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, because of the seaside mountain, belongs to the three regardless of the zone, not only gathers the unemployed ronin of the Japanese country, the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes, and the retreating knights, but the biggest force in this area is still the village of the indigenous She people and the mature seedlings.
When the seeds sown by Lu Bin came here, with the flintlock pistol in his left hand and the thunder in the palm of his right hand, he quickly overwhelmed the voice of disobedience, ending the chaotic situation in the three areas for many years.
This outer disciple named Dongfang Sheng, with Lu Bin's innovative concept: all animism is created by Haotian God, this inclusive system subdued the Miao and She people, successfully established a new religion, the Sun and Moon God Cult, and personally served as the leader.
With the abundant coal, stone and iron ore in the local area, and the abundant flow of mountain streams, the Sun Moon Divine Cult quickly armed an army with a total of more than 10,000 people, not only with 2,000 flintlock musketeers, but also with the sword hands cultivated in a short period of time with the Eight Styles of Breaking Blade.
Dongfang Sheng took this military momentum and announced to all parties that the land under the land would be exempted, claiming that the world's acres of land would be included in the Divine Religion, and that according to the number of 30 acres per sect, he would share the wealth with the people of the world.
This groundbreaking proposition made the landlords and gentry in the surrounding area panic, and before they could join forces to carry out their actions, the army of the Sun and Moon God Cult began to sweep through all directions.
The nearby mountain people, who originally lived a poor and hard life, endured the exploitation of the government and the gentry, and were carried into it by the military forces of the Sun and Moon God Cult, in order to live a good life and to exempt Juntian, most of them chose to join the country.
The power of the Sun Moon Divine Cult swelled dramatically, gathering an army of 50,000 in a short period of time, causing some fluctuations in people's hearts. Sect leader Dongfang Sheng used the survival of the fittest, eliminated the speculators who mixed into the team, and left about 30,000 elites, and listed five legions according to military law, led by the same sect that followed him on Qiongya Island, and played the banner of the five-element flag to the outside world.
Ruijin Banner is mainly composed of local mountain people, most of whom are hunters with good foot strength and strength, each person is equipped with a set of bows and arrows, long and short javelins and four short-handled throwing axes, and when the war starts, they are all good at shooting and hitting a hundred times.
The Jumu Banner is dominated by Miao people mixed with She ethnic groups, and each person has a shield made of logs, ranging from 50 catties to 100 catties in heaviness, which is specifically responsible for defense and logistics support. There is also the duty of opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water.
The flood flag is divided into several parts, there are Miao people who are good at poisoning, there are master craftsmen who are good at damming and blocking water, who are responsible for flooding the city, and there are also heroes from Qiongya Island, who use the principle of mechanism to make high-pressure acid spray guns.
The Flame Banner is the flintlock pistol team, as well as strange people who are good at arson and come from the rivers and lakes, including many masters of hidden weapons in the Tang Sect and firearms maniacs in the Thunder Fire Hall, all of whom have been collected by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to carry out assassination and destruction.
As for the thick soil flag, the personnel are very complicated, all of them are people who are not used by the other four banners, there are people who are proficient in digging tunnels, and there are also unloading ridge wrestlers who open roads in the mountains, swordsmen, chivalrous warriors, insects and birds, animal trainers, and all the works of the rivers and lakes belong to it.
In addition to the marching method, the Sun and Moon Divine Cult also established a sacred treasury of grain reserves to reassure the people in the sphere of influence, and sent special personnel to manage the congregation, organize daily production, issue various tasks, and establish a system of continuous self-improvement.
As a result, the spark gradually became a prairie fire and expanded strongly to the surrounding area. Not only was the basic market of Fujian merchants strongly impacted, but even another nearby merchant gang, the Longyou merchant gang from the Jinqu Basin in central and southwestern Zhejiang, was also under unprecedented pressure.
The Sun and Moon Divine Sect originating from the Black Wood Cliff was just a spark seed that Lu Bin inadvertently sprinkled, and the flames that were born when he encountered the right soil. Its leader, Dongfang Sheng, creatively proposed the policy of exempting all fields from taxation, as well as the policy of public ownership of rough acres of land and sharing by all the congregants, which unexpectedly won the support of the poor people at the bottom of the society, and successfully established a political regime with strong vitality, taking an important step on the chessboard of the Central Plains.
The government was originally indifferent to this, but under the pressure of the Fujian merchants and the instigation of the gentry whose interests had been damaged, the neighboring Cangnan County dispatched the green camp into the mountains to encircle and suppress it. Unexpectedly, the armament was deserted, and the green battalion with slack combat strength had already rotted out, and was charged by the swordsmen of the Houtu Banner in a cluster, and they lost their armor and won the first victory against encirclement and suppression.
The Sun Moon Divine Cult reacted extremely quickly, and Dongfang Sheng decided to immediately move his army north, attack Cangnan County, kill officials and rebel, and surround the barbarian garrison city and kill them cleanly. At the same time, missionaries were sent to the surrounding villages and towns to announce the policy of exempting the land from taxation, but at first it was resisted by the common people who did not know the truth.
However, now that the land annexation was serious, the local gentry were all large landowners, so the backbone of the missionary work with swords began to fight the local tyrants to divide the land, burn account books and IOUs, and immediately won the support of the people.
The power of the Sun Moon God Sect grew like a snowball, and in a short period of time, it quickly expanded from a group dominated by mountain people to a large sect with hundreds of thousands of sect members. Due to Dongfang Sheng's caution and vigilance against the gentry, the middle and high levels of the sect did not mix with speculators, and the middle level also put an end to this phenomenon.
This is an unavoidable phenomenon, after all, the only way out for the children of the poor family is to read, the so-called everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and those who have read books and can write, the hand that holds the pen can no longer carry the hoe to the field.
The fact of the "fall" of Cangnan County has turned the Sun Moon Divine Cult from an inconspicuous disease of ringworm to a confidant of the barbarian dynasty. After all, the canal grain that maintained the lifeblood of the dynasty started in Yuhang, and the storm set off in Cangnan County had a tendency to flood.
For the rulers, any threat must be nipped in the bud, especially the Sun and Moon God Cult's policy of exempting the land from taxation is too destructive, and it is simply digging the foundation of the empire. It's a pity that the green battalion military system in various places has collapsed and has long been unusable, not to mention the Eight Banners Army that is rotten to the roots.
At the same time, stimulated by the Sun and Moon God Cult's siege of the city, the seeds scattered all over the place were also ready to move. In particular, when they heard the name of "Dongfang Sheng", due to the up-and-coming antiquity, they received strong support from Qiongya Island, and they became even more eager and accelerated the pace of the uprising.
Zhang Bingzhong, the "Yellow Tiger" awakened by Lu Bin in Dingbian City, Shaanxi, brought 7,000 loyal Yin soldiers back to the world by recasting the Seven Killings Monument, and once again raised the banner of righteousness against the barbarians.
This king of the underworld, with the Sun and Moon Five Star Zhuzhu Refining Divine Array given by Lu Bin, used the gods in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions to refine the golden pill, laid the foundation of the ghosts and immortals, fused the Yin soldiers with the living, and finally restored the royal industry on the earth.
"All things are born to support people, and people have nothing to repay the sky. Sons, you will fight with me to make a good fortune and make the world peaceful!"
Thousands of possessed Yin soldiers roared and roared in response, venting the anger they had accumulated for more than a hundred years, and once again followed their king to conquer the Quartet, this time not to fight for the world, but to drive out the Tartars and restore our China.
In just ten months, the Shaanxi and Gansu regions were full of beacon fires, not only the Mengyuan princes of the grassland were shocked three times a day, but even the desert remnants of the Western Regions could not sleep at night.
The Miao people of Hunan and Guizhou, who had just been pacified, revolted again, Luo Buyi, the Yi people of Yunnan, led the people to revolt, the Marquis of Jinghai in Yizhou was killed by the flying hammer of the righteous soldiers, and the Jilong Harbor was broken by pirates.
