Chapter 102, the red scarf on Wudang Mountain

"Also, I'll tell you a great joy. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Zhang Wuji's kid is really unlucky, and he got the "Lenga Sutra" written by Bodhidharma in an unknown valley in Kunlun and discovered the "Jiuyang Divine Skill". By the time we left, he had already finished practicing two volumes, and the cold poison in his body was gone. ”

"Wuji, he really got the Jiuyang Divine Skill?" Zhang Sanfeng asked happily when he heard this, "The cold poison has also been cured?"

"Of course!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "This kid's luck is very good." He not only got "Jiuyang Divine Skill", but also got Hu Qingniu's medical experience in Butterfly Valley, and now his medical skills are very smart, and he has surpassed me two. ”

"That's good! That's good!" Zhang Sanfeng said again and again. Zhang Cuishan was his favorite disciple, and in the end, both the couple committed suicide, but they had no way to save themselves. left a child, Zhang Wuji, but the cold poison in his body could not be cured. Now the child is not only better, but also able to cultivate the supreme divine skill, which is really good!

"Golden Eagle Hero, haven't you been to the rivers and lakes recently?" Li Shucheng and Zhang Sanfeng had just spoken for a while, and Mo Shenggu came, Li Shucheng said with a smile.

"What kind of Golden Eagle Hero, now there are more than a dozen Golden Eagles on Wudang Mountain, how can there be the name of Golden Eagle Hero?" Mo Shenggu sighed and said, "Besides, it's very chaotic outside now, and Master doesn't allow us to go down the mountain easily." ”

"Your master is right, now is indeed not a good time to go down the mountain. Li Shucheng nodded and said, "Now that the southeast is erosive, there are wars everywhere, and the north is not peaceful, where can you go?"

Now that the Red Turban Army outside is making a lot of trouble, Han Shantong and Liu Futong buried stone figures in the Yellow River flood in advance, and they were dug up by the peasants who were requisitioned to repair the Yellow River, so they finally responded to the test of the nursery rhyme.

In May last year, Han Shantong and Liu Futong gathered more than 3,000 followers in Yingzhou to revolt. Although Han Shantong was arrested and killed because of the leakage, his sons Han Lin'er and Liu Futong escaped. After Liu Futong escaped, he reorganized the believers and captured Yingzhou in one fell swoop. Led the peasant army to capture Yingzhou. Then he captured Zhu Gao and opened a warehouse in Zhu Gao to help the poor, which was supported by hundreds of thousands of people. With the strength in his hands, he successively occupied Nasan, Jinyang, Chosan, Runing, Xizhou, Gwangju and other places, and the momentum was like the sun for a while.

In August, Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu revolted in Qizhou, Jianyuan Zhiping, and the country name was Tianwan. Soon they occupied Wuchang, Anlu, Chuyang, Jiangzhou, and Raozhou, echoing the rebel army led by Liu Futong. These two peasant armies are wrapped in red scarves, called the Red Turban Army, although one of them is the White Lotus Sect, the other is the Ming Sect, but they all believe in Maitreya Buddha, burn incense and gather people, also known as the "incense army".

In addition, there are also Xiaoxian Sesame Li, Nanyang Buwangsan, Jingfan Meng Haima, Haozhou Guo Zixing and other uprising teams, all of whom also call themselves the Red Turban Army. The peasants of Lianghuai, Feng, Pei, Xu, Ru, Jing, Han and other places all responded one after another, and the followers were like home, and the southeast half of the wall was eroded for a while.

"The Yuan court has no way to wantonly oppress the people, and now that the Red Turban Army is gaining momentum, isn't it just the right time to make a move to overthrow the Yuan court?" Mo Shenggu said. He didn't dare to say anything in front of Master Zhang Sanfeng, but he had something to say in front of Li Shucheng.

"The Red Turban Army, or the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Sect behind them, have no friendship with Wudang. Although their slogan is for the people of the world, is this really the case? This is still a question. Otherwise, why did Xu Shouhui rush to build the Yuan Dynasty and build the country? Li Shucheng said, "The Wudang faction is here, and the monks can't run away from the temple, if they participate in this matter, it will be easy for the Yuan court to retaliate, and the Wudang faction may be finished." ”

"Also, don't be impatient when doing things, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Think about the end of the imperial dynasty in history, the end of the first to revolt. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first to revolt, and they failed, and the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang was the cheapest thing; at the end of the Han Dynasty, didn't the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Army sweep the world? Who was the cheapest? Wei Wu and Cao Cao; those anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, where did they come after? Anyway, Li Yuan became the emperor; at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao even captured Chang'an, so what? In short, the rafters that came out rotted first. ”

"So, the Red Turban Army will fail?" Mo Shenggu asked.

"I do. Li Shucheng nodded, "Do you want to know the reason?"

"Yes. Mo Shenggu said.

"Think for yourself. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Or you can ask a few of your senior brothers." ”

The next morning, Mo Shenggu came again, along with his senior brothers, who also wanted to hear what Li Shucheng had to say.

"Hey, you're all here, don't you have anything to do?" asked Li Shucheng.

"Yesterday's question of the seventh brother, we senior brothers thought about it all night, but we gained something, so I came to listen to Li Daxia's opinion. Song Yuanqiao clenched his fists and said.

"Tell me first. Li Shucheng said.

Zhang Xisong said: "We believe that the first is that the previous dynasty ruled the world after all, although it declined, but it was a hundred feet, dead but not stiff, and still controlled a large number of troops. The second is that the incident was hasty and underprepared, although at first it was due to the dispersion of the opponent's forces to take the lead, but after all, it was weak, and once the opponent gathered the scattered troops and horses, there was only defeat. ”

"That's the way it is, just analyze it from both sides of the story. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "But if you analyze it carefully, even if the dynasty comes to an end, it is only the common people who suffer." From emperors, nobles, officials to landlords below, they can also live their rich and peaceful life. Although the combat strength of the army has weakened with the passage of time, since they were able to maintain the stability of the dynasty before, they still have a lot of strength. Since they are all the ones who benefit, they are definitely not willing to give up the benefits they have gained, and of course they want to continue to live their own good life. Once someone rises up, even if the army can't catch up for a while, there are still local landlords who will resist. Most of the people fighting with the Red Turban Army now are the private armies of the landlords, and the most powerful one is Chakhan Timur. "Chakhan Timur, that is, Zhao Min's father, is not the king of Ruyang, and there is no king of Ruyang in the Yuan court, although he is a Mongolian, but he lives in Yingzhou, has studied since childhood, and has been admitted to the Jinshi, at this time he is at most just an idle petty official because of the identity of the Mongol. This must have been a mistake by Jin Yong, who wrote the chronicle of the rivers and lakes.

"From the analysis of the rebels, they started in a hurry and were almost unprepared. Li Shucheng continued, "Even if a large number of poor peasants can be recruited because of heavy taxes and natural and man-made disasters, these peasants have never held knives and guns and have never been on the battlefield, and their combat power is very weak. Even if a large number of sacrifices can be exchanged for combat strength, what about the generals who command the war? Without sufficiently qualified generals, the sacrifice in the war is very large. This requires capable talents, leading talents, and internal affairs talents. If there is no talent, it will be smooth in the early stage, but it will be weak in the future, and it will fail in the end. In addition, the uprising required a lot of money and weapons, and where did these come from? When more people die, morale becomes a problem. Therefore, the first person to start the incident can only be a gravedigger. "Not only Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Huang Chao, but even the alliance behind them is like this, if it weren't for Yuan Shikai and their own death, there would be nothing to do with Lao Jiang.

"The Red Turban Army is making such a fuss, looking at the current momentum, even if the Yuan Court finally suppresses the Red Turban Army, it will be a big loss of vitality, and there is only a flower frame left. Li Shucheng said, "Yuan Ting, it's already a grasshopper after the autumn." Later, it will depend on which force recruits a large number of outstanding talents, and that force is the party that finally determines the world. If Wudang really wants to contribute to the people of the world, he can send some disciples to join the rebel army incognito, but it is best not to show Wudang's futility, so as not to be noticed by the Yuan court. In addition, the goal of your second-generation disciples is too obvious, but don't go, otherwise Wudang will really be destroyed. "The Yuan court has pardoned Wudang Taoist Temple many times over the years, although it is not Zhang Sanfeng's branch, but there is a palace envoy in Wudang Mountain. Although the Wudang faction has no anti-Yuan moves, as a martial arts sect, it will of course be monitored. The phrase "chivalry is forbidden by force" is not to say, and it is taboo in any court. Guo Jing led the Wulin people to resist the Mongol army in Xiangyang, although Huang Rong adopted Li Shucheng's suggestion to give Guo Jing a certain military position, but for decades, Guo Jing's position has not moved at all, and the official army directly under his command is still only the original 1,000 people.

This is still to help resist the powerful Mongol army, which is more equivalent to taking refuge, and they are all under suspicion, not to mention the people in the rivers and lakes who are outside the imperial court? And the Mongols are even more wary of the people in the rivers and lakes when they enter the Central Plains.

is not only vigilant, but also suppressed and even assassinated openly and secretly, so the overall weakening of martial arts over the years, many people have disappeared inexplicably, and there are many secrets lost. Therefore, Huashan, known as the six major schools, only has two tall and short elders to support the façade, and Kongtong only has five elders in Kongtong. The six major sects are like this, not to mention the other small sects and scattered people.

After saying this, Li Shucheng asked Yu Daiyan: "Yu Laosan, how is your body recovering now?"

"Thanks to Li Daxia, I feel completely healed. Yu Daiyan said happily, "However, Li Daxia, you said that you can't go all out, I have always remembered it all these years." So I don't know if it's really healed. ”

"I'll show you. Li Shucheng said and grabbed Yu Daiyan's outstretched hand, poked out his true qi and examined it carefully, and said, "Well, you can basically shoot with all your might." But after all, it has been broken, and it is best not to go all out. ”

After inspecting Yu Daiyan, the others left, telling Mo Shenggu to concentrate on martial arts. Yin Liting has a qualitative nature, he has worked hard all these years, and his martial arts are about to catch up with the fourth senior brother Zhang Xisong, and several senior brothers are very relieved. Only Mo Shenggu has nothing to say, although his martial arts have made great progress over the years, but he still has to be advised.

came to watch Mo Shenggu practice twice, and praised: "Not bad, Lao Qi, you are also a master in the rivers and lakes, and there are few who can beat you." ”

"Of course, I've been working hard all these years. Mo Shenggu said happily.
