Chapter 4 The bright moon shines on Jun Mountain
Yuezhou is also called Baling County, under the jurisdiction of the counties along the Dongting Lake, is the Yueyang of later generations.
Junshan is located in the Qingcao Lake in the west of Baling County, is a small island in the Dongting Lake of 800 miles, and Yueyang Tower is far away, composed of 72 peaks of the size of the mountain, the ancient trees on the island are towering to the sky, the bamboo forest is covered, the scenery is beautiful, it is one of the 72 blessed lands of Taoism.
The date of the beggar gang conference is approaching, and the five bags of beggar gang disciples come from all over the country in an endless stream, gathering around Baling County, and the five bags of disciples generally serve as the head of incense in various places, and can be regarded as the small leader of the beggar gang, and have the right to participate in the resolution of important affairs within the gang, and are also the executors of the beggar gang in charge of specific affairs in various parts of the Central Plains.
His Majesty the Emperor was mixed in with this group of beggars' five bags of disciples, and he was not inquiring about the news, but spreading the news.
"Brother, have you heard?" Yang Kang said mysteriously to a beggar disciple, "Our Lord Lu Duo has made great contributions in Mongolia, and the Mongolian Emperor has rewarded Lord Lu with a lot of gold and silver treasures, as well as dozens of women, it is said that Elder Lu has had more than a dozen children in Mongolia in recent years, and those children do not look like our Central Plains people." β
"Brother, I heard that Lord Lu Helm peeked at a woman taking a bath at the age of six, went to the Qinglou to have fun at the age of eight, and had a bunch of children at the age of twelve......"
"Do you know why Lord Lu was driven to Mobei by the Hong Gang Leader in the first place? It's not that he wants to assassinate the Hong Gang Leader......
"Lord Lu Helm received the benefits of the Mongolian Emperor, which led to the Song State to raise troops, but now it's good, the Mongols don't pay attention to faithfulness, and they withdrew their troops, and in the end it was not our Song State that was unlucky, but Lord Lu Helm had a lot of wives and children, but our beggar disciples didn't die in vain......"
Similar rumors slowly spread around Baling County, which was not the credit of His Majesty the Emperor alone, and there were other members of the Iron Palm Gang who had mixed in with the beggar gang, and these rumors were first spread among the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect. Then it was extended to the Dirty Clothes Sect, and in order to maintain Lu Youjiao's reputation, the disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect argued with the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect, and the contradictions between the disciples of the two factions became increasingly intensified.
The so-called public mouth, as long as Lu Youjiao's reputation is destroyed, the possibility of Mu Nianci being elected as the gang leader will be greatly increased.
His Majesty the Emperor wants to salute first and then soldier. If Nian Ci became the leader of the beggar gang, if Lu Youjiao became the leader of the beggar gang, then he had to eradicate the beggar gang, Yang Kang came from a democratic society, in a democratic society, before every election, there will be a variety of real-name reports and anonymous letters, and everything will be done to suppress and frame the opponent.
For example, before choosing a class president in middle school, some students will report to the teacher that so-and-so had cheated on exams......
This not only scandalizes Lu Youjiao, but also deepens the contradiction between the clean clothes faction and the dirty clothing faction. The disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect also don't believe these rumors, but the rudder of the Beggar Gang in Mobei was established by Lu Youjiao, and there are all disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect, no one knows if there is a cat in it, the Beggar Gang helps the Mongols fight, I think the Mongolian Emperor should have rewards, but where are those rewards?
In fact, Lu Youjiao did not accept Temujin's reward. But who would believe this, plus the Mongols withdrew their troops without authorization, and the Song and Jin states signed the humiliating "Baoying Collegiate". Let the disciples of the Beggar Gang, especially the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect, be extremely dissatisfied with the Mongols, and His Majesty the Emperor undoubtedly grasped the crux of the problem, and these rumors have wiped out the credit of Lu Youjiao in Mobei in recent years.
As a result, under Yang Kang's leadership and encouragement, the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect opposed Lu Youjiao's voices became louder and louder. Some disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect are also a little shaken, Lu Youjiao has been in Mobei all these years, and he has not communicated much with the incense masters in the Central Plains, and these Dirty Clothes Sect's incense masters only support Lu Youjiao for the sake of Li Sheng's face.
In this strange situation, the Beggar Gang Junshan Conference was held as scheduled.
The top of Jun Mountain. On the Xuanyuan platform, a bright moon hangs high.
Under the Xuanyuan stage, hundreds of beggars sat on the ground, several beggar elders stood on the stage, and Elder Liang of the Pure Clothes faction presided over the meeting.
His Majesty the Emperor was mixed in, pretending to cry a few times, he observed carefully, and couldn't help but feel that the beggar gang deserved to be the largest gang in the world, and there were three or four hundred disciples in five bags alone, if there were a thousand beggar disciples under the hand of a incense master, then there would be as many as three or four hundred thousand beggar disciples in total, this number was a bit exaggerated, but it was roughly estimated that the beggar gang disciples should exceed 150,000, which was a force to be reckoned with, fortunately, these beggar disciples were usually scattered all over the Central Plains, and there was no intention of large-scale gathering, otherwise neither the Song State nor the Jin State could tolerate itγ
These incense masters sit separately according to the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect, and it can be seen at a glance that the Pure Clothes Sect is a minority faction in the beggar gang, with only more than a hundred incense masters, and the main body of the beggar gang is still a disciple of the Dirty Clothes Sect, which is also very understandable, after all, the Beggar Gang is a beggar organization, and the Pure Clothes Sect is not a beggar in the strict sense, which makes the emperor a little worried about the subsequent election.
Yang Kang was able to come to Xuanyuan Terrace because he borrowed the identity of a beggar gang five-bag disciple, he has been messing around among the beggar gang disciples these days, and found a beggar gang incense master who was about the same size as him, so Peng Lianhu was stunned to find out the identity information of this person, these incense masters are usually scattered all over the place, except for this kind of beggar gang conference, they rarely have the opportunity to meet, they are not familiar with each other, even if they know their names, they can't recognize their faces.
There are also a few Iron Palm Gang masters who are mixed in like His Majesty the Emperor, this is to wait for the next commotion to prepare, this is undoubtedly very dangerous, once they are found by the beggar gang, they will definitely be beaten to death with sticks, fortunately, Yang Kang has conducted surprise training for these Iron Palm Gang masters, so that they can understand the rules of the beggar gang.
After the hundreds of beggars and disciples had finished venting their nostalgia for Hong Qigong, Elder Liang continued to preside over the meeting.
"We will never let go of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison who killed the leader of the Hong Gang, but the first thing we need to do is to elect a new gang leader first, so that we can lead the gang and avenge the old gang leader. Elder Liang soothed, "According to the gang rules, if the old gang leader has a will, it must be determined according to the old gang leader's will. If there is no fate, it will be jointly elected by the four elders of the gang, this is the rule passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the gang, brothers, yes or no?"
The beggars below even claimed that it was, holding their breath and waiting for Elder Liang to announce the new gang leader.
However, the senior monks of Dali Tianlong Temple came to the news that the old gang leader did not leave any fate, and Elder Li and Elder Peng had also passed away, and the four elders could not gather, so they had to invite all the brothers to come here to discuss and elect a new gang leader who could lead the gang. Elder Liang said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of beggars under the Xuanyuan stage discussed the candidates in their minds.
"I approve of Lord Lu as the new gang leader. β
"I choose Elder Liang. β
"I'm bullish on Lord Mu. β
β......β
"Lord Lu Helm, I heard that the rudder of this gang in Mobei was rewarded by the Mongolian emperor, where did those rewards go? I also heard that the Mongols gave the Lu Duo Lord benefits, which made the Lu Duo Lord willingly work for the Mongols, yes or no?" In the midst of the commotion, a discordant voice appeared.
