Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 58: Preparing for Attack Wherever there are people, there will be oppression, and there will be levels.

The reason why these villagers formed villages to protect themselves was because they could not stand the oppression and exploitation of the Dudu Mansion.

More than half a year has passed, and the Taiping Sect has developed rapidly, expanding from several counties to a single government. The believers are no longer limited to the lower class people. Some nobles have also been affected and began to join the Taiping Sect.

There are many speculators among them. They don’t believe in any peaceful world, nor do they believe that the Great Master and the Grand Duke General are the envoys sent by Shangda to save Dad’s life. They don’t even believe in the existence of Taishang Daozu and “Huang Da”. They just He took a fancy to the future of the Taiping Religion.

In other words, this is the wisdom of some "middling people" who start betting in advance.

It is dangerous to be a top-level family. Once the rule is shaken, the family will be killed immediately, and there is no room for improvement.

However, "middle-class families" are relatively safe and have room to swing left and right, and can be changed.

These nobles secretly joined the Taiping Religion. If the Taiping Religion defeated the Dudu Mansion and became the masters of this world, then they would be regarded as following the dragon's merits, and not only could they save their family, but they could even go further.

After all, aristocrats have family backgrounds, which actually means better educational resources and family heritage, that is, bringing capital to invest in shares. Naturally, they are stronger than believers from commoner backgrounds, and are more likely to be at the top of the Taiping Religion.

But the nobles' motives are not pure, they are more to protect their own interests, which makes the team impure and the situation becomes complicated.

As a result, the Taiping Sect would be at risk of falling into disarray in advance. Being separated from the common people would make it difficult to lead the team.

Zhou Mengyao didn't care about this, as long as she could provide incense and wish, it was enough. She didn't plan to live here for a long time. Whether the Taiping Sect had fallen or not, what did it have to do with her? As long as the mission is completed, the demise of the Taiping Religion will not matter.

And Zhou Mengyao didn't think that aristocrats were so harmful. After all, she was from a noble family, and she was also a Taoist aristocrat in a sense. Qi Xuansu was opposed, thinking that it was better to start well and end well.

We have borrowed the power of the common people, and naturally we should give the common people here a relatively perfect ending.

The Yellow Turban Army controlled by Qi Xuansu is still dominated by believers from civilian backgrounds.

This actually reflects the different concepts between Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao due to their origins.

Some senior leaders of the Taiping Sect were keenly aware of the differences between the two core figures, and the senior leaders of the sect with aristocratic backgrounds all sided with Zhou Mengyao, the great sage and mentor.

They fully expected Zhou Mengyao to launch a thunderous strike and eliminate the civilian faction headed by Qi Xuansu, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in the Yellow Coin Army and gain control of the military power they lacked most.

For this reason, they repeatedly insinuated themselves in front of Zhou Mengyao and even outspoken him.

Someone came up with a plan and set up a banquet. Qi Xuansu was invited to attend, and Fu Liyao's hands were thrown around, and a cup was thrown as a sign.

Some people also suggested that there is a river named Anshui outside the city. Great sages and good teachers can refer to Anshui.

Zhou Mengyao saw this and looked quite disapproving.

Many people are saddened by this and think that the virtuous teachers and women are benevolent, indecisive, and uncertain about their plans.

But they didn't know that the Taiping Sect was just a tool for Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu to leave the "deep well". How could Zhou Mengyao fall out with Qi Xuansu over the Taiping Sect? If you really want to fight for power, it will only happen after you leave Shenbin.

Even if she defeats Qi Xuansu now, the price is to stay here for the rest of her life. That is, she has not straightened up, and everything becomes meaningless.

What's more, during the recent period, she was still very pleased with Qi Xuansu, as if she had returned to the old master-disciple relationship.

In the final analysis, the frog in the well can only see a small patch of sky above his head, but has no idea of ​​the vastness outside. Naturally, he cannot understand Zhou Mengyao's disapproval.

Zhou Mengyao has never been kind to a woman, let alone indecisive.

It's just not necessary.

Many people from Qi Xuansu's side also advised him to be careful of the great virtuous masters, but they were wary of the "divine power" of the great virtuous masters. No one had yet proposed to directly use small-scale palace changes to solve the problem once and for all. It was more for prevention. At most, he could persuade Qi Xuansu to set up his own household.

Dazhang Guansheng lives in the land of Guan, how can Yudu live under the people for a long time? This reminded Qi Xuansu of a rather arbitrary and unreasonable statement. In fact, the top talents in a county can govern Guanxia, ​​because the principles in the world are all the same, and there is nothing new under the sun.

The teams of emperors who merged with the country in the past dynasties, that is, one or two counties, as long as they are given enough experience and room for growth, these nobles will be no worse than the aristocratic families they transferred, or even be stronger.

Now it seems that the Taiping Sect has only reached its end, but the richness these people have played is no less than that of the imperial ministers in the history books. The core is the same, no matter how many tactics, no matter how many maneuvers, , No matter how many vertical and horizontal alliances are made, they are essentially paving the way for the final killing, and physical destruction is the most thorough way.

Many neutrals saw it and were anxious in their hearts. Some people shouted the slogan "If Heavenly Mother kills Brother Guan, the country will be blocked."

However, Zhou Mengyao only looks young, but is actually an old man who has experienced many things. Although she has no official position, she is the well-deserved number one figure in the Qingping Society, and she still has a very deep understanding of organizational structure and power operation. .

After this incident, she saw the harm of the aristocratic faction, so she changed her original idea, agreed with Qi Xuansu's point of view, and determined to launch an internal purge to deal with some people with evil intentions.

At this time, there were only two people in the Taiping Sect's main altar, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao.

Countless candles were lit in the hall. Zhou Mengyao was sitting high on the leader's chair, illuminated by the candlelight. Behind him was the statue of "Huang Da". Tiangai looked like an old man wearing yellow clothes, and he looked a bit like wearing apricot yellow. The supreme Taoist ancestor in cassock.

Don't be afraid if you really want to attract the "Yellow Pass", just in time for the two extraterrestrial pass demons to fight and lose both sides.

Qi Xuansu stood below, with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Mengyao leaned on the back of the chair, and only her chin could be seen: "The periodic law is inevitable. Doing this will only make the periodic law come later, but what should come will still come in the end.

There is no immortal person in the world, and there is no dynasty that will last forever. "

Qi Xuansu responded: "I'm just doing my best, but I hope I have a clear conscience.

Moreover, to eliminate speculators is to remove impurities. The issue of division within the Taiping Religion has become unavoidable. A decision must be made to unite people's hearts, unify the line, and integrate the internal affairs, which will instead lead to a more powerful force.

After all, we will soon attack the Governor's Mansion. At this time, we must not cause chaos, and we must beware of spies and others. "

Zhou Mengyao said indifferently: "Then it's up to you and let's get started."

Qi Xuansu raised his voice: "Here comes someone."

Two generals in military uniforms pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and walked in quickly, saluting them respectfully.

Qi Xuansu said: "In the name of the good master, in my name, and in accordance with the established plan, arrests will begin. Anyone who resists arrest will be shot without mercy."

The two men accepted the order in a deep voice, saluted them again, then turned and left.

This kind of petty quarrel is really nothing to Qi and Zhou. After the two of them left, Zhou Mengyao stood up and said: "Tianyuan, this is just a Taiping sect. Of course it's nothing, but If one day you become the Heavenly Master of the Tao, will you also clean up those who are not conducive to the stability of the Tao sect in this way?"

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Maybe, maybe not.

The situation in Taoism is too complex to be generalized.

Zhou Mengyao became interested: "Why can't we generalize?"

Qi Xuansu said: "We dare to clean up the Taiping Sect because we are certain that no one within the Taiping Sect can resist us. This is based on absolute confidence in our own force. But in the Tao Sect, do you dare to have such confidence? Do you want to Clean up others, and others still want to clean up you. It’s hard to say who will win in the end, so we can’t generalize.”

Zhou Mengyao sighed: "What you said makes sense. If you want to have absolute force, I'm afraid it's not enough to be a one-movement immortal. You need a two-robbery immortal. Just like you and I, we have gathered the power of incense and will to form a powerful force on other people in the sect." Absolute advantage, in Western terms, is a dimensionality reduction attack.”

Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "Have you broken through the boundaries of being a human being?"

Zhou Mengyao did not deny it: "You don't dare to be so presumptuous outside. Let alone the faith of a county, the local government should come to visit."

Three days later, Qi Xuansu completed this small-scale purge limited to high-level officials.

Zhou Mengyao summoned high-level members of the cult and mobilized his teachers to show that the Taiping Sect was by no means settled in a corner and intended to overthrow the brutal rule of the Dudu Mansion and establish a peaceful world.

The top leaders of the Taiping Religion quickly reached a consensus.

After all, those swaying speculators have been cleared out.

The blood has not yet dried, who dares to object at this time? Some people even suspected that this was simply a show conspired by the Great Master and General Tiangong! The purpose was "fishing". Those people couldn't stand the temptation and jumped out on their own initiative, and were immediately caught in a net.

This was also expected by Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao. They were in high positions and were used to control a small Taiping Sect.

After half a year, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao have a certain understanding of the Governor's Mansion. The key is not the officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers have been degraded and their combat power is quite limited. Instead, the Yellow Coin Army has experienced tremendous oppression and oppression. Suffering, now fighting for himself, he has more fighting spirit and courage. After experiencing the small-scale battles between Qi Xuansu and Kong Ci, and Zhou Mengyao taught some incense and wishing skills for entering the factory, the overall situation has been formed Combat power, so on the ordinary battlefield level, although the Taiping Religion only has one place, it will never be at a disadvantage, but will have an advantage.

If it weren't for the blessing of Yin Qi in those officers and soldiers, the Taiping Army would even be able to pass it on.

Another point is that the Yellow Coin Army has now expanded to more than 2,000 people.

This is not a small number, because unlike the Xiangyong of the past, these are two thousand professional soldiers who are completely off-duty and focused on training. There are two thousand less strong laborers and two thousand more big eaters. With a difference of four thousand, the productivity here is quite backward. The burden of supporting so many soldiers in one place is still a bit too heavy, and it may even be suspected of being a military force, so we can't delay it any longer.

From this point of view, quelling the fire of those noble believers can alleviate the pressure on car demand. This time, not only the Yellow Coin Army was dispatched in full force, but Zhou Mengyao, a great virtuous teacher, also had to march in person.
