For example, the White Lotus Sect.

At present, on the surface, the White Lotus Sect has split due to the disagreement between the sect leader and the Holy Maiden, and at the same time, there are more than a dozen different factions within it, and there are many contradictions between them, and it feels like there is a possibility of splitting at any time.

But in fact, all the factions and contradictions were deliberately created by Zhang Hua and Ximen Chang hated two people.

After all, even if the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism develop to a certain extent, they will arouse the jealousy of the imperial court, and even destroy the Buddha or the Tao, not to mention a new sect that has not been born for a long time, to put it mildly, if there are not so many factions within Buddhism, there is no difference between sects such as Zen Buddhism and Vinaya, if it can be twisted into a rope, it would have been destroyed by the imperial court many times.

After all, a united and united religious force.

The threat to the imperial court is too great.

They really dare to vainly try to build some earthly Taoist country, or earthly Buddha country, to crown the emperor.

Fortunately, Zhang Hua and the others started an internal split early, which made it possible that although some people of insight are afraid of them, and even occasionally impeached, they are generally safe, and they have not been wantonly attacked, and even sent troops to exterminate and ban legal rights.

In addition, they also transported some of their sectarians who had no land and really couldn't survive overseas, and at the same time pioneered, they also attacked the native savages overseas. Look at the book

Today's White Lotus Sect not only has tens of millions of followers in the Qianguo region, and has allowed the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism to unite to grab incense, but also established several small countries with 100,000 followers overseas, and the actual ruling area has reached about one-tenth of the territory of the Great Qian, but they are somewhat scattered with each other, but their strength is extremely terrifying

At least they definitely have the advantage of being outnumbered.

Corresponding to the White Lotus Sect, it is naturally Zhang Ze and Zhang Hui, brothers and sisters, the business empire of the two of them has involved most of the industries of the Great Cadres except for land, and the power of the dart bureau is all over the country, and the total gathering points add up to more than the post stations of the imperial court.

Also out of fear of provoking jealousy.

They also split their industry into more than a dozen parts, respectively by different big shopkeepers, such as the dart board, on the surface of their family only one Shennong dart board, but after the Shennong dart board was born after the different names of the dart board, most of them were founded by themselves with a vest, it seems that each other only cares about an area, and there is even friction in the border part.

But it's actually their industry.

Even worship different docks, find different backers, bribe different officials, etc., although a lot of money is spent, and the profits are a lot less, but compared with the speed of intelligence and logistics, as well as hundreds of thousands of well-trained young and middle-aged dart masters, the profits are less, even if they have been losing money in the early stage, they have to stick to it.

The rest of the industry is similar.

In addition, the two of them have also built several bases overseas, including education bases, industrial bases, military bases, agricultural bases, and so on.

Different bases take on different tasks.

The education base is responsible for cultivating talents, the industrial base is responsible for heavy industry, and light industry can be carried out locally, and it is not safe for heavy industry to be carried out locally, so of course it has to be moved out, after all, it includes the production of various firearms, and the agricultural base is of course farming.

At present, they have climbed the technology tree to the level of the second industrial revolution, and further down, the talent is too insufficient, and the information in their hands is not enough to support, so they can only enter the slow lane.

At most, the overall direction of development is fairly clear.

There will be no detours in the short term.

With such a huge force, they did not rush to do something, but still held on.

Until the fifty-eighth year of Zhenzong, he relied on penicillin and sulfur to bear two serious illnesses, still alive, and also suppressed two more princely rebellions, Emperor Zhenzong, who was over 80 years old, suddenly passed the throne to the sixteenth prince.

In September of that year, there was a severe drought in the six counties, and there was no harvest.

At the same time, there was a plague outbreak after the flood in three counties, which swept through 17 counties in the world in a short period of time, and there were 36 counties in the entire Daqian, and there were no more than a few counties, which was quite peaceful.

The foundation accumulated by the imperial court in the past few years was basically squandered by Emperor Zhenzong, and he was unable to provide disaster relief at all.

Local wealthy families are busy annexing land.

After all, since the birth of the four new grains, there have been fewer and fewer people who have to sell their fields because of insufficient grain production, and it is much more difficult for them to merge.

Now I finally have a great opportunity.

How can you let it go?

Zhang Hua, who learned about these situations, knew very well that even if their White Lotus Sect did not make a move, there would inevitably be many peasant uprisings in the world, and at that time, I am afraid that not only the lives would be ruined, but the plague would also be swept across the world by them.

So he quickly made a decision and raised troops.

And at the beginning, there were a full twenty-four counties responding, and the wealthy families and the like were uprooted by the White Lotus Sect, which had already stepped on the point, in a very short period of time.

And those grain relief, work for relief, take the opportunity to repair water conservancy, seize the time to plant another season, and so on.

Zhang Hui also cooperated with the mass production of streptomycin.

to control and treat outbreaks of plague.

In the end, it only took half a year, and the White Lotus Sect completely occupied the twenty-four counties, and the overall situation was basically stable, but the remaining twelve counties were not so easy to do, because many families fled and moved to those twelve counties, and many Buddhist and Taoist forces also moved over, and now it can be regarded as a comprehensive boycott of the White Lotus Sect.

It's rare to work together.

Originally, Zhang Hua and the others were still a little worried, worried that these twelve counties would be difficult to handle, or even if they could do it, it would cause a large number of casualties, but they were a little hesitant for a while, and they could only temporarily stalemate with each other.

Until more than a month later.

Plague broke out in twelve counties.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is not what Zhang Hua and them did secretly, those plagues were purely brought into those twelve counties by those big families who fled from the disaster area.

After discovering this situation, the White Lotus Sect began to hype that they could cure the plague, and as long as they surrendered, they would be cured, and in the process, they even used hot air balloons to put a large amount of streptomycin into the barracks, civilian areas, and plague outbreak areas, not only hoping to save some people, but also to make them more aware that they were not lying.

Wait for someone to recover by taking streptomycin.

The blockade of public opinion by the imperial court and the clans of the family did not let ordinary civilians know that the blockade of the White Lotus Sect with the ability to treat the plague was completely ineffective, and many cities directly exploded, and the barracks where many infected people had already appeared directly bombed the camp and surrendered with the whole city.

After all, no one wants to die if they can live.

Besides, they also have family members, who doesn't know that this plague is very easy to die***, not for themselves, for their families, they also have to get medical treatment.

And those big families are also people.

They can also get infected.

For example, the Huaiyin Han family, their family has already died of ninety percent of the population because of the plague, which is not much worse than being confiscated by the White Lotus Sect, judging the criminal clansmen, and collecting taxes normally, they have already regretted it.

They shouldn't have run if they knew so.

Maybe there will be more people alive.

This situation directly led to the rapid collapse of the remaining twelve counties, and the White Lotus Sect was steadily advancing while disseminating the knowledge of plague prevention and control, controlling the spread of plague and treating those infected with plague.

This was followed by a public trial.

The royal privileges were removed, and then the judgment according to the law, the trial of guilt, the acquittal, including the harem concubines and palace maids, etc., the same, those who carried human lives on their bodies, or tortured and killed palace maids and eunuchs, must die.

The main one is in the true sense of the word.

The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.

Then he still did not rush to become the emperor, but first took the whole family of Shennonghou into the palace, and announced his identity, the relationship with Shennonghou, etc., finally no longer need to hide, and can publicly recognize his father and mother.
