Zu Yuji said to Xie Qin: "In the Tang Dynasty, some people in the imperial court proposed the method of 'governing the rivers and lakes with the rivers and lakes' -- that is, to cooperate with the Jianghu sect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xie Qin was stunned when he heard this.

Zu Yuji said: "The imperial court cooperates with the Jianghu sects, and those sects are the agents of the imperial court, so as to achieve the effect of the imperial court indirectly controlling the rivers and lakes - and the three major sects are the most suitable proxy candidates." ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Sechin.

Zu Yuji replied: "Because the three religions have interests in collusion with the secular court. The sects of Buddhism and Taoism wanted the support of the imperial court, which would be of great help to their mission. And those Confucian clans also hope to win the favor of the imperial court through cooperation, so that they can return to the world as soon as possible, worship the official and marquis, and live a good life in the past. In this way, the imperial court and the three religions can be said to have their own needs, and of course they hit it off. So, under the instigation of the imperial court and the three religions, the Wulin League was born. ”

Xie Qin was taken aback, the Martial Arts League was actually established like this?

Zu Yuji nodded and said: "That's right, the original intention of the establishment of the Wulin League was that the three major sects would control the rivers and lakes as partners of the imperial court. ”

Xie Qinwan didn't expect the Wulin League to be such an organization, he didn't know what to say, thought about it, and asked Zu Yuji: "That...... Won't those gangs be dissatisfied?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied. Zu Yuji nodded, "However, it's useless for them to be dissatisfied." The three major sects are strong, and they have few opponents in the rivers and lakes, but now they are not only colluding, but also have the support of the imperial court. Although there are many nine-stream gangs, they are a rabble after all, how can they be able to defeat those famous sects of the three religions?

"Of course," Zu Yuji said again, "there will still be resistance, and some of the Great Salt Gang and the Great Cao Gang have risen up against the Three Sects, and they are worried that the Three Sects will hinder their interests if they cooperate with the imperial court." ”

"Cao Gang?" Xie Qin asked curiously.

Zu Yuji said: "It's the gang that monopolizes the river transport, originally the transport was governmental, but they did it in private, which is a gray profession." ”

"Oh......" Sechin nodded.

Zu Yuji said again: "However, these gangs have no connection with each other, and they have not even formed an alliance, so you say a word to me, and each protests against each other, which is also a normal situation - the nine-stream gangs are not aligned." ”

"I see. Xie Qin said in his heart, he was still wondering just now, it stands to reason that the Nine-Stream Gang should be much bigger than the Three Sects, why was it eaten to death by the Three Sects? Now that we know the reason, they are not in alignment, and each has its own small abacus, so that even if there is really a gang that rises up against the Three Sects, it will only end up being defeated by each of them. The results of the struggles of the Great Salt Gang and the Great Cao Gang can be imagined.

I heard Zu Yuji say again: "Because the Nine Streams Gang is not aligned, and no one comes out to respond to them, those Salt Gang Cao Gang are quickly suppressed by the Three Sects. ”

Sure enough, Xie Qin nodded secretly.

Zu Yuji said: "Since then, the three religions have established their dominant position in the rivers and lakes, and the Wulin League, as an organization that the imperial court indirectly controls the rivers and lakes through the three religions, has also continued for a long time. ”

“...... Until modern times?" Sechin asked in surprise.

Zu Yuji nodded and said, "Until modern times." ”

"From the Tang Dynasty...... Until now?" said Sechin, still in disbelief.

"yes. Zu Yuji nodded, "The Wulin League is a powerful tool for controlling the rivers and lakes, and there is no reason for the imperial courts of all dynasties to abandon it, so even if the secular dynasty changes, they can continue." ”

"Oh......" Xie Qin nodded, Xiao Yu did have a point.

"However," Zu Yuji suddenly changed her words, "the Wulin League has not always been a tool of the imperial court. ”

"What do you say?" asked Xie Qin hurriedly.

Zu Yuji said: "The reason is very simple, the nine streams are not willing to be controlled by the status quo, although they are not aligned, they can join the martial arts alliance and change from the inside, and after the three sects gradually stabilize, they are not willing to be restrained, and they are suspicious of the imperial court. Under the impetus of these various forces, the Wulin League gradually changed from a simple management tool to an organization that balances the imperial court and the rivers and lakes. ”

"Balance ......?" asked Sechin suspiciously.

Zu Yuji said: "Although the Jianghu sect wants to turn the Wulin League into an autonomous organization of the Jianghu people, or simply dissolve it, but these two results have touched the bottom line of the imperial court, and it is impossible for the imperial court to agree, in order to prevent the imperial court from taking measures, the people in the rivers and lakes have to take a step back, and the imperial court also knows that it will not be able to go back to the past after all, so it has also taken a step back, so that the Wulin League has reached a balance- It is not only an autonomous organization of the people in the rivers and lakes, but also controls the order of the rivers and lakes on its behalf, and does not let any sect cause a big mess, such a result can also be accepted by the imperial court, after all, the rivers and lakes are the source of chaos, since there will be no more chaos, then turn a blind eye, and some things will go with him. ”

"That's ......" Xie Qin bowed slightly, and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that there would be so many power games involved in a martial arts alliance." ”

"Yes, power game," Zu Yuji nodded and smiled slightly, "You use this word well." ”

Xie Qin looked at her smile and felt as if he had seen his own Chinese teacher.

"Hmm. ”

At this time, Tang Zhong coughed dryly.

Xie Qin and Zu Yuji looked at him together, and the latter said softly, "We're far away. ”

"Oh yes, yes, yes!" Xie Qin then remembered, they were explaining the secret whistle, how did they suddenly get to the beginning and end of the establishment of the Martial Arts League!

He thought about it for a while, and said to Tang Zhong: "You just said that in ancient times, around the village of bandits...... What's going on. ”

"Oh. Tang Zhong said, "It's nothing, what I want to say is that in ancient times, the bandits' stockade was set up on a hill that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the outside of the walled city was full of woods, and if the secret sentinel in the woods found an enemy, they would notify their companions with the sound of birds. ”

"Bird calls?" Xie Qin was stunned.

Tang Zhong said: "Or insects, such as the crickets, anyway, it's not a direct warning." ”

"Oh. Sechin nodded.

Tang Zhong said: "In addition to the sentry point in the woods, there are traps and pits, and the people who attack the cottage walk in them, even if they stumble to avoid the pits, they also escape the traps very tenderly - because these traps are triggered by those secret whistles. ”

"Can the Dark Sentinel trigger a trap?" Sechin asked in surprise.

Tang Zhong nodded and said, "It's not surprising, unlike the trap that is passively triggered by trapping, many mechanisms can be triggered actively. ”

"Oh......" Xie Qin nodded, his heart was secretly cold, walking in this kind of woods with heavy organs, I am afraid that it is extremely dangerous, and it will take nine deaths to get to the cottage, right? I don't know how many people will be left to attack at that time? They have suffered heavy losses, but the bandits are waiting for work, this trick is really powerful.

"But that's old times. Tang Zhong shook his head, "Now there are neither bandits nor people in the rivers and lakes who would do that." ”

"That's right. Xie Qin nodded, these trap traps were reasonable in ancient times, but if they appeared in modern times, it would be too discordant.

Tang Zhong said: "Although these things are gone, there are too many ways to keep an eye in the woods, if it is not too troublesome, it is really possible for the secret sentinel of the Nine Poison Hall to play pits in the woods to disguise." ”

"But you just said that the sentinels in the woods will be less vigilant. Sechin said to him.

"Vigilance and numbness are two different things," Tang Zhong shook his head, "Even if those secret sentinels really dig a pit in the woods, there is a good chance that they will sleep in it." ”

"That's true," Xie Qin nodded, "but it shouldn't be too comfortable to lie in that kind of place, right?"

Tang Zhong glanced at him and said, "It's not comfortable to lie on a branch." ”

Xie Qin was speechless.

Tang Zhong said again: "When digging a pit, you can still put a layer of mattress underneath, and you can't get a hammock on the tree, right?"

Sechin was speechless again.

Tang Zhong said: "In short, it takes a lot of time to walk in the woods, and it is also time-consuming to clean up the dark posts in the woods, not to mention, coming out of the woods, you have to walk a section of the avenue, and it is likely to be seen by the dark whistles on the nearby residents' buildings, which is really thankless, so it is better not to go." ”

Xie Qin nodded secretly, what Brother Zhong said was so reasonable, he was speechless.

Zu Yuji said: "It seems that we can only clean up the dark posts in the residential buildings." ”

"Yes. Tang Zhong nodded, "Although it takes a lot of time, it is better than walking in the woods." ”

Xie Qin thought about it, and his heart moved, and another question came up.

"Wait a minute, guys. He raised his hand.

"What's wrong, Xie Qin?" Zu Yuji looked at him suspiciously.

And all the people looked at him.

"We all overlooked a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Tang Zhong asked.

Xie Qin's lips moved, and he spat out two words.

"Monitoring. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Monitoring?" As soon as Zu Yuji said it, he immediately understood, and clapped his hands and said, "By the way, monitoring!"

"I actually forgot about it," Tang Zhong also reacted, and nodded again and again, "I always think about it from the thinking of people in the rivers and lakes, but I forgot what era it is!"

"Brother Lingsheng, you are so smart!" Zu Yuji glanced at Xie Qin approvingly, and praised with a smile.

Xie Qin shook his head secretly, this was originally a common sense thing, but he just remembered that he could already say that he had a bad brain, and he could still get a compliment, which really made people laugh and cry. said to Zu Yuji: "It's nothing, after all, I'm a commoner in the world." ”

Zu Yuji said with a smile: "Thanks to you, a commoner in the world, otherwise a few of us in the rivers and lakes would not have thought of it!"

Xie Qin's heart moved, and he said to everyone: "Since you can't think of it, then Tang Jiaqi, will he not be able to think of it?"

"It's hard to say," Tang Zhong shook his head, "Don't forget what Tang Jiahua has done." ”
