Chapter 64: The King of Rebellion

A letter came from the station, it was a private message. This is what Xiao Feng specially explained.

He now has the official status of a scholar in the middle school, and it stands to reason that he can be sent to the cabinet for free through the post station, and then the cabinet will be responsible for running errands and handing it over to him. But the letter sent through the cabinet will definitely not escape Yan Song's eyes. There is no personal privacy in the cabinet, Yan Song will definitely tear it apart and have a sneak peek.

So he would rather let Hu Zongxian spend some money and use the post station to send private messages, rather than take advantage of this. The post station of the Ming Dynasty can be piggybacked on and sent private messages, but it costs a fee, which can be regarded as an income of the imperial court.

The letter was simple, with only two pages and a silver ticket of one hundred taels sandwiched in the middle. The first page is some kind words, expressing that he has admired Xiao Feng for a long time, but it is a pity that he is on the side, listening to Yu Dayou talk about Xiao Feng's demeanor at the Taoist Conference, and his heart yearns for it.

Next, the pen turned: "The things that Brother Xiao ordered are known, and the next official is appointed as the Xuanfu and Datong Inspector according to the imperial history, so they naturally also care about the defense of the two places." Today, I have asked General Qiu Luan to explain his intentions. General Qiu Luan once had a relationship with Brother Xiao, and he was also convinced of Brother Xiao's Taoism, so he waved it on the spot, wrote down the words and the things requested, and asked Brother Xiao to look at it. If you have any income, please notify it in time. In addition, General Qiu Luan thought deeply about the reinforcement of the city defense mentioned by Brother Xiao and was ready to start construction. ”

This letter can be said to be written very politely, Hu Zongxian is an extremely smart person, he can judge Xiao Feng's status and role, and he obviously intends to have a deep friendship.

The second piece of paper is Qiu Luan's, it's not nonsense, it's a big word, it occupies most of the paper - "attack"!

The following line of small words: "Please Xiao Zhenren for advice, the enemy outside the gate can attack and harass, what should we prepare?" ”

This is what Xiao Feng asked in the letter to Hu Zongxian. Xiao Feng can't measure his own words, and besides, the Datong War has nothing to do with him, he must find the person closest to him to ask about it. Hu Zongxian, as the Xuanfu and Datong Inspector, can of course also be measured, but after all, Qiu Luan is the chief soldier of Datong, and it is most appropriate for him to ask about this matter.

The word "attack" is probably written subconsciously by Qiu Luan, he is such a guy who is afraid of death, he must have slept with one eye open when he arrives in Datong, for fear that Altan Khan will carry out a surprise attack. Datong is a good place to make a fortune, but it is also a place to make money in a frying pan, and the necessary vigilance cannot be less.

When Qiu Luan left Beijing, he had heard of Xiao Feng's power, and he wanted to ask Xiao Feng to test his words at that time. It's just that he has no friendship, and secondly, he heard that Xiao Feng is against the Yan Party, so he still has to ask for the Yan Party, and he doesn't dare to mess with it easily.

Now Hu Zongxian came to the door and said that Xiao Feng was his friend, and for the sake of his face, he could help him measure his words, so he was happy at that time. After writing the letter, despite Hu Zongxian's dissuasion, he insisted on sandwiching a silver ticket inside.

Xiao Feng was secretly amused, handed the silver ticket to Qiao Niang, and sat down to look at the word "attack" carefully. He had the impression that in the two years of the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan would attack Datong and also made the "Gengxu Change". But he didn't know the details of how it happened, so he came up with the idea just to be on the safe side.

Although there was no one in front of him, Xiao Feng still habitually said out loud: "Attack the dragon lower robe, there is a dragon robe." Where is the real dragon outside the gate? Even Altan Khan did not dare to call himself a dragon. And the dragon robe itself has the intention of rebellion, whether Altan Khan sent troops to attack and harass, or rob, it was just a temporary act of the nomads, and they did not want to change the dynasty, let alone rebel. The Manchus who really want to rebel against the Ming Dynasty are still Jurchens at this time, and now they have no ability to rebel at all, so who will it be? ”

"The Cangjie Divine Book is a word to God, whether I am a traverser or not, it should not be affected. In other words, even if I don't know the history after that, I should be able to guess who this rebel was. So who rebelled during the period before the Ming Dynasty? ”

Rebellion, rebellion, Xiao Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, in the current Ming Dynasty, the only one who can really be called a rebel all the time can be that organization - the White Lotus Sect!

The White Lotus Sect is a very strange organization in history. They arose in the Song Dynasty and are considered a branch of indigenous Buddhism. However, the Song Dynasty did not like the White Lotus Sect, and designated it as a cult and suppressed it all by one. The White Lotus Sect then rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty.

On the contrary, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, probably the enemy of the enemy was a friend, and he was very tolerant of the White Lotus Sect, and even had some respect. As a result, the White Lotus Sect flourished and grew the most during the Yuan Dynasty.

But in the later part of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols and the White Lotus Sect were exhausted, and they began to suppress the White Lotus Sect again, and the White Lotus Sect revolted against the Yuan Dynasty again. At that time, many of the leaders of the rebel army at the same level as Zhu Chongba were all members of the White Lotus Sect.

Among them, several people who are more Niu Cha are Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, and Zou Pusheng, who call the Amitabha Buddha they believe in the King of Ming, and they also shouted that they would call the country "Ming" after the victory of the uprising. Of course, Lao Zhu doesn't recognize this statement, he has his own set of statements about his Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with King Ming anyway.

This time, the White Lotus Sect is gone, everyone has contributed to the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty, and the fruits of your Zhu Chongba's victory are still taken from Han Shantong's hands, and you use "Ming" as the country name, but you don't admit that you have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect? Isn't this beating the monk after reciting the scriptures, and scolding the cook when he is full?

Considering that the White Lotus Sect originated from Buddhism, this sutra is particularly appropriate to hit the monks!

So the White Lotus Sect tried to negotiate with Zhu Chongba, you can't do this kind of thing as soon as you become the emperor, this is not good, you can at least give the White Lotus Sect a state religion status or something, and then give our backbone members a few princes, everyone and harmoniously share the fruits of victory, how good.

It's a pity that the White Lotus Sect miscalculated Comrade Zhu Chongba's character, and when Zhu Chongba didn't allow others to call him Zhu Chongba anymore, but had to be Zhu Yuanzhang, he had already made up his mind that he would not bargain with anyone again in this life.

Therefore, the deal did not succeed, Zhu Yuanzhang did not make a counteroffer at all, and directly flipped the table very unobtrusively, and once again declared the White Lotus Sect a cult. The White Lotus Sect also became popular, and once again rose up against the Zhu family.

The rebellion of the White Lotus Sect also became the most important rebellion in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. And what's funny is that these rebellious branches of the White Lotus Sect have called themselves emperors, and they are all called "Da Ming" to show that they are orthodox.

This method is not very harmful, and it is extremely insulting, so that the generals who led the troops to exterminate the White Lotus Sect could not even write a song. In the past, according to the rules of exterminating the rebels, the name of the country established by the rebels was usually written on the fold, and the word "pseudo" was added.

For example, if the rebel is called the emperor and the name of the country is "Feng", then the general who led the troops to exterminate will write when he writes the fold: "The minister leads the army, exterminates the pseudo-Feng, destroys the enemy by 5,000, and captures the bandit leader alive." ”

But when the White Lotus Sect uprising was suppressed, this sentence could not be used. Which general dares to write: "The minister leads the army and exterminates the puppet Ming ......" It is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang does not need to look down, and directly kills this general first.

Relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute strength, he finally extinguished the extremely insulting rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. But the White Lotus Sect did not go extinct, but went underground, growing everywhere like weeds, ready to make a comeback at any time.

Although Xiao Feng's history is not good, he probably knows that as the most favorite rebel organization, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect has been carried out from the Song Dynasty, to the Yuan Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty, to the Qing Dynasty, to the Republic of China, and even in 1949, it is said that there were sporadic small-scale White Lotus rebellions! It's a pity that they provoked the wrong opponent this time, and the thousand-year-old organization was finally destroyed!

If you want to choose an organization to be the leader of the rebel world, it must be the White Lotus Sect with the highest vote. Because this organization was simply born for rebellion. From life to death, from beginning to end, either in rebellion or in preparation for rebellion!

Therefore, when Xiao Feng thought of the White Lotus Sect at this time, it was definitely not a blind guess, but something that a blind person could guess.

After figuring out this section, Xiao Feng looked at the word "attack" again, he must dig out more information on this word.

"The dragon follows the clouds, the tiger follows the wind, and the attack on Datong should be related to a person with "cloud" in his name. The dragon is a masturbator, could it be that this is a pervert? Or an adulteress? However, in this era, there are many male pets, but it cannot be determined that it is a man or a woman. I heard that Yan Shifan is a guy who likes to do both. ”

Xiao Feng was engrossed in the word test, and muttered to himself, forgetting that Qiao Niang was still standing beside him with the silver ticket, waiting for him to put down the empty cup in his hand to refill the tea for him.

Xiao Feng was thirsty, raised his cup to drink tea, only to find that it was empty, and then found that Qiao Niang was standing beside him, and was suddenly startled.

Qiao Niang saw that Xiao Feng came back to her senses, and was frightened by herself, so she couldn't help but smile apologetically, and raised the pot to refill Xiao Feng's tea.

"The master is really knowledgeable, and his speech is different from ours, and his exports are chapters, what 'dragon from the cloud, tiger from the wind', and what 'two-pronged'. I've heard the first sentence before, but I haven't heard the latter sentence. ”

PS: Traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters are different in word measurement, and it doesn't really matter which one is used when measuring characters, but it must have been written down at that time. This is the background of the Ming Dynasty, and it must have been traditional Chinese characters at that time, so the word measurement was also measured according to traditional Chinese characters. However, for the sake of the fluency of the novel, it is too laborious to switch back and forth between simplified and traditional Chinese characters when typing, so unless it is extremely necessary, I will not translate them into traditional Chinese characters one by one and write them for everyone to see.
