Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

For example, the White Lotus Sect.

At present, it seems that the White Lotus Sect has been divided due to the differences between the leader and the saint. At the same time, there are more than a dozen different factions within the sect. There is considerable conflict between them, and it feels like a split may occur at any time.

But in fact, all factions and conflicts were deliberately created by Zhang Hua and Ximen Changhen.

After all, even if the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism develop to a certain extent, they will arouse the jealousy of the court, and even destroy Buddhism or Taoism, not to mention a newly born sect. To put it bluntly, if there are not so many people in Buddhism, If the factions were not divided into Zen sect and Vinaya sect, if they could be twisted into a rope, they would have been destroyed by the imperial court countless times.

After all, it is a unified and united religious force.

The threat to the imperial court was too great.

They really dare to try to build some kind of Taoist kingdom on earth, or a Buddhist kingdom on earth, to crown emperors.

Fortunately, Zhang Hua and the others started an internal split early on, so that although some knowledgeable people are wary of them and even impeach them occasionally, they are generally safe and have not been attacked or even attacked. Send troops to exterminate and abolish legal rights.

In addition, they also transported some believers who had no land and could not survive overseas, and while pioneering the land, they also attacked the local savages overseas.

Today's White Lotus Sect not only has tens of millions of believers in the Qian Kingdom, but has also allowed the Buddhist and Taoist sects to join forces to compete for incense. It has also established several small countries with hundreds of thousands of believers overseas. The actual area it controls has reached the Qian Kingdom. It’s about one-tenth of the country, and it’s just a little scattered, but it’s definitely extremely powerful.

At least they definitely had the advantage in numbers.

Corresponding to the White Lotus Sect, naturally are the brothers Zhang Ze and Zhang Hui. Their business empire has involved most industries in Daqian except land, and the power of the bodyguards is spread all over the country. There are even more inns than the imperial court.

Also out of fear of making others jealous.

They also split their business into more than a dozen parts, each run by different big bosses, such as the Escort Agency. On the surface, they only have one Shennong Escort Agency, but after the Shennong Escort Agency, escort bureaus with different names were born one after another. Most of them were founded by themselves, and it seemed that each of them only controlled a certain area, and there was even friction at the boundaries.

But it is actually their industry.

They even worshiped different terminals, found different backers, bribed different officials, etc. Although it cost a lot of money, the profit was also a lot less, but compared with the speed of intelligence and logistics, and the hundreds of thousands of well-trained people, For the young and middle-aged escorts, if the profits are less, then they will be less. Even if they have been losing money in the early stage, they have to persist in the business.

Other industries are similar.

In addition, the two of them have also established several bases overseas, including educational bases, industrial bases, military bases, agricultural bases, etc.

Different bases undertake different tasks.

The educational base is responsible for cultivating talents, and the industrial base is responsible for heavy industry. Light industry can be done locally, but heavy industry is not safe to do locally, so of course it has to be moved out. After all, it includes the production and 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. If they continue to develop further, there is really a shortage of talents, and the data in their hands is not enough to support it, 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.

……

After having such a huge force, they were not in a hurry to do anything, but remained stubborn.

It was not until the 58th year of Zhenzong that he survived two serious illnesses with the help of penicillin and sulfonate, and was still alive, and also suppressed two more rebellions by the princes. Emperor Zhenzong, who was over eighty years old, suddenly passed the throne to the sixteenth prince.

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

At the same time, a plague broke out in three counties after the flood, and swept through seventeen counties in the world in a short period of time. There were a total of 36 counties in Daqian, and there were only a few counties that were still peaceful.

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

Local wealthy families are busy acquiring land.

After all, since the emergence of the four major new grains, fewer and fewer people have had to sell their fields due to insufficient grain production, making it much more difficult for them to merge.

Now I finally encountered a great opportunity.

How can I let it go?

Zhang Hua, who understood these situations, knew that even if the White Lotus Sect did not take action, many peasant uprisings would inevitably occur in the world. At that time, not only would people be devastated, but the plague would also be swept across the world with them.

So he quickly made a decisive decision and raised troops.

And from the beginning, a total of 24 counties responded, and wealthy families and the like were uprooted in a very short period of time by the White Lotus Sect that had already stepped on them.

We also use those grains to provide disaster relief, use work to provide relief, take the opportunity to repair water conservancy, seize the time to plant another season, and so on.

Zhang Hui also cooperated in the mass production of streptomycin.

Used to control and treat outbreaks of plague.

In the end, it only took half a year for the White Lotus Sect to completely occupy 24 counties and basically stabilize the overall situation. However, the remaining twelve counties were not so easy to deal with because many aristocratic families fled and moved to those ten counties. In the two counties, many Buddhist and Taoist forces have also moved there, and now they can be regarded as fully boycotting the White Lotus Sect.

It's rare to see everyone working together.

Originally, Zhang Hua and the others were a little worried, worried that it would be difficult to deal with these twelve counties, or that even if they could be dealt with, it would cause a lot of casualties. For a moment, they hesitated, and they could only form a temporary stalemate.

Until more than a month later.

Plague broke out in twelve counties.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhang Hua and the others did not do this secretly. The plague was simply brought into those twelve counties by the wealthy families who escaped from the disaster area.

After discovering this situation, the White Lotus Sect began to publicize that they could cure the plague, and they would treat anyone who surrendered. During the process, they even used hot air balloons to drop a large amount of streptomycin into military camps, civilian areas, and plague outbreak areas. I hope I can save some people and make them more aware that they are not lying.

Waiting for someone to recover by taking streptomycin.

The blockade of public opinion by the imperial court and the aristocratic families, which was to prevent ordinary people from knowing that the White Lotus Sect had the ability to cure the plague, was completely ineffective. Many cities were directly exploded, and barracks where many infected people had already appeared were directly bombed. , led the whole city to surrender.

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

Besides, they also have family members. Who doesn’t know that the plague can easily kill the whole family? They need to get medical treatment not only for themselves but also for their family members.

And those aristocratic families are also human beings.

They can also get infected.

For example, the Han family in Huaiyin has lost [-]% of their population due to the plague. This is no worse than having part of their family property confiscated by the White Lotus Sect, trying criminal clan members, and collecting taxes normally. They have already regretted it.

If they had known this, they shouldn't have run.

Maybe there will be more people alive.

This situation directly led to the rapid collapse of the remaining twelve counties. While making steady progress, the White Lotus Sect promoted plague prevention and control knowledge, controlled the spread of plague, and treated plague infected people. In the end, it was very unexpected. It only took another Within half a year, the remaining twelve counties were successfully captured and all the royal family were captured.

A public trial followed.

The royal privileges are removed, and then trials are conducted according to the law. Those who are guilty are tried and those who are not guilty are acquitted. This includes concubines, concubines, and palace maids in the harem. The same is true. Those who carry human lives on their bodies, or who have tortured palace maids and eunuchs, must die.

The main one is in the true sense.

The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.

Later, he still did not rush to proclaim himself emperor, but first brought Shennonghou's family into the palace, and announced his identity, relationship with Shennonghou, etc. Finally, he no longer had to hide and could publicly recognize his parents. .
