Due to the large number of factions in the White Lotus Sect, the gods it worships are extremely complex. Some of them believe in the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Palace, the King of Hades in Hell, the sages in the world, and even those who believe in their sworn enemy Zhu Chongba, all of them are the same, but according to statistics, the most revered among them is still the old man Maitreya Buddha.

Since the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a worship of the childless mother, and the folk began to spread the eight-character mantra of "vacuum hometown, childless mother".

However, the policy of fooling the people is only for fooling the people, those Ming Dynasty scholars who became big officials, they are really bad, and they also say that there is no immortal mother in the subset of the scriptures, even in the romance of the gods, there is no record;

After arguing at this time, everyone decided to take a step back, which claimed to the outside world that this freshly baked lifeless old mother was actually the ancient Buddha of Heaven who had no birth and no death, and she wanted to return her earthly children to the heavenly realm to avoid calamity, and this heavenly realm is the vacuum home.

In order to make a name for themselves, the various sects began to write their own scriptures. However, on the issue of titles, there is a rare unanimity among all of them, and they all refer to them as treasure scrolls, and some preachers often preach them to believers. Although the content of Qingli and vulgarity is huge, from the root point of view, it is still inseparable from the influence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism on these sects. In fact, in terms of its impact, these empires that rose from the past to the future on this eastern continent at that time had a great impact on the entire earth.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were many followers of the White Lotus Sect, and they were mainly ordinary people from the lower classes. Before each sect ascended to the throne as emperor, it began to implement paternalistic rule internally, making the sect respectful and inferior, orderly and hierarchical.

The leaders of these sects are actually very complex, and some of them are still declining gentry and aristocrats, bankrupt landlords and wealthy households, which also leads to their inconsistent attitudes towards the Ming court. Some deceived their followers and amassed money by revitalizing religion; some climbed to the upper echelons by writing scriptures to please the imperial court; some recruited followers among the court eunuchs and wealthy bureaucrats; and some joined the common people at the bottom to oppose the exploitation of the imperial court and the government and raised an uprising.

For example, in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Sai'er was in Yidu unloading stone sheds, leading the people to raise righteousness, and then commanding Wei Qing for Shandong to defeat him, Tang Sai'er was besieged to the Jedi, and when the official army climbed the cliff, he found that Tang Sai'er and other White Lotus Sect members were missing;

The collapse of the Ming Dynasty did not just affect a Tang Sai'er. For example, in the second year of the Apocalypse, Xu Hongru, a giant savage, rebelled in Yuncheng, and the local peasants "mostly brought women and children, morning glory carts, and wrapped grain and rice, and rushed to it, competing to think that the Tianyun uprising in the upper west was all there." However, this was forced by your peers who did not dare to succumb to their subordinates, so they had to convulsive and call themselves Emperor Zhongxing Fulie, and issued the era name Dacheng Xingsheng.

Zhanshan is the king's family can pretend not to see, but you are the emperor, and you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, this completely angered the Emperor of the Apocalypse, since everyone has no face, then start to be hard.

At the same time, the other leaders of the White Lotus Sect, Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Khan Bai, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan, etc., couldn't sit still, Xu Hongru, who was on an equal footing in their hearts, dared to be the emperor, if he didn't even dare to fight for a grass king, how could the team behind him?

So they also captured Teng County, Zou County, Yi County and other county towns and Cao Yun Dao Xia Town, and attacked Yanzhou, Qufu, Tancheng and other places, and soon took advantage of the official army to deal with Xu Hongru with all their might, controlled the vast area on both sides of the canal in Shandong, and intercepted Cao Yun.

Since the situation is very good, these difficult brothers and sisters who were born from the same root should mark up their arms and work together; if they can have this height of understanding, they will not be the White Lotus Sect but the Republican Party of Eagle Sauce, and when they see the officials and troops going all out to force Xu Hongru, it is too late for everyone to be happy, how can they be willing to unite with the outside world for the sake of their own people?

The White Lotus sect members of all walks of life who regarded the Ming court as fools began to make their own small calculations after sharing some floating wealth and robbing some wealthy women, and they were not prepared enough to raise their own righteousness in order not to let others take the lead;

At this time, although the people's livelihood was withering and the wolf smoke was everywhere, it was still a star-studded Celestial Dynasty; if it were not for the internal friction of the party struggle, there were still several emperors who were generally out of tune, and Li Chengliang alone would have killed the wild boar skin.

In July, Xu Hongru's so-called allies failed one after another. First of all, Yuncheng did not occupy the chaos, when everyone fought for tens of thousands of taels of silver for a few plays, the official army broke the city, and the White Lotus Sect who were engrossed in grabbing large households, almost no one defended the city, and once let the officials and soldiers who were besieging the city not know what to do in the face of the empty city defense, and finally the officials and soldiers found out that this was not an empty city plan, and the people inside fought to the death in order to grab a woman, regardless of the close proximity of the officers and soldiers......

Then everything collapsed, and the offensive of the official army turned out to be overwhelming...... Even at this time, the official army thought that Xu Hongru was luring them to go deeper, and then they could break through; however, the development of the battle made the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, and the Imperial Party, which began to reflect and begin to pay attention to the fact that this was a traitor, were stunned at the same time, and at the same time laid the foreshadowing for Li Zicheng's attack on Beijing, because the ruling party no longer believed in the thieves, and did not believe that they would change their lives against the sky to replace the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Hongru and others were defeated by the officials and soldiers under the conditions of a good situation; Xu Hongru, who was extremely confident, did not believe that his friends would ignore the righteousness, in his eyes, these friends were quite brave when they fought among themselves, how could they break it like an egg?

No matter what the report he received, he was determined to stick to Zou County and Teng County, and vowed to fight the officials and soldiers to the end. The Ming army mobilized a large number of officers and troops from Shandong, Beizhili and other places, and surrounded Xu Hongru's army in Teng County...... In September, Xu Hongru ran out of food, failed to break through and was captured, and in December he was cut into Yusheng in Beijing.
