From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 96 The Emei faction leaves

Today, there are dozens of rebels in the army, and more than [-]% of them are Mingjiao, whether it is the White Lotus, or the Maitreya, and some people are flying the banner of the Manichaeism. Those who worship the Jade Emperor, or those who worship Guan Gong, whether they worship Amitabha or the old mother, the root of the organization can be traced to Mingjiao.

To the north of the Yangtze River, to the south of the Yellow River, from Gansu to Shantung, rebel armies came and went, all dominated by the Mingjiao Department.

At this time, Cheng Kun gave King Ruyang an idea: "To get rid of these thieves, you must first eradicate the devil's religion. When the devil's religion is destroyed and the holy fire is extinguished, the gods that these thieves believe in will disintegrate. Dare to confront the imperial court again. These bandit armies have their own minds, and now there is a leader of the Demon Cult to work together. Once the Demon Cult is destroyed, there is no need for the imperial court to send troops. They will attack each other, and within a few years they will surely commit suicide."

King Ruyang thought it was very polite, and according to Cheng Kun's plan, he invited the emperor, Xuancheng Esoteric Zen, all of which are authentic Buddhism, and named Zen Master Kongwen, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, "Master Yuanjue Zhenru Miaoying" as the president of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty.

It is a tradition for the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to enshrine Buddhism. In the past, Kublai Khan convened a debate between Buddhism and Taoism in the world. He led a group of officials to judge. In the end, it was judged that Buddhism won and Taoism lost. The Taoists of Quanzhen Sect were all forced to shave Hair became a monk, many Taoist temples were converted into temples, and the collection of Taoist scriptures were burned. At that time, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was the main force.

Cheng Kun obtained the imperial decree from the imperial court, and ran back to persuade the monks of Shaolin Temple.

He is the apprentice of Master Kongjian, and he has a high status in Shaolin Temple. Although he is a generation younger than the monks of the Kongzi generation, he still speaks very well.He used the reason of wanting to avenge his master Kong Jian, and asked Shaolin Temple to follow the example of Vajra Anger and invite righteous heroes from all over the world to besiege Guangmingding and destroy the demon sect, so as to eliminate harm for the world.

After discussing with several juniors, Master Kongwen decided to adopt Cheng Kun's suggestion, spread out hero posts, and invite all sects to clean up the demon sect's lair and kill all the demon heads.

Wudang and Shaolin are both the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the martial arts world. Although the Emei faction is a little weaker, they can still stand on top of each other, so naturally they will not be left behind.

After receiving the letter of invitation, the Wudang Seven Heroes took it to Hangzhou Zhenwu Temple to meet Zhang Sanfeng. The eight masters and apprentices discussed and made a decision: not to participate in this action!

One, Yu Daiyan, has been cured, two, Zhang Cuishan is still alive, and Zhang Wuji, Wudang faction and Mingjiao have no deep grievances, and Yu Daiyan hates the people from Ruyang Palace even more.In addition, today's rebels are mostly members of the Ming religion, and the Wudang faction still has a sense of sympathy for Peng Yingyu and Zhuang Zheng.

Only Yin Liting had a feud with Yang Xiao, and his fiancée Ji Xiaofu was spoiled by Yang Xiao, but Ji Xiaofu was willing to give birth to Yang Xiao's child, and named him "Yang Buhui", and died at the hands of Miejue Shitai. Yin Liting was very sad when she found out Desperate, but have no face to seek revenge on Yang Xiao.

The Wudang faction believes that the biggest enemy now is the Mongolian and Yuan courts, and the enemy they want to leave the most is the Ruyang Palace, and the Mingjiao is the help of the same front, so Song Yuanqiao wrote a letter to reject Abbot Kongwen.

Contrary to the Wudang faction, the Emei faction responded very enthusiastically, Miejue Shitai immediately wrote back to Shaolin Temple, saying that when the day comes, the Emei faction will definitely come!And put all the strength of the faction, and the devil will not die endlessly!
Over the past two years, Wei Xiao has already understood Miejue Shitai's temper quite well, knowing that he can't stop persuading him, but he still persuaded him. Sure enough, Miejue Shitai told him very rudely: "Your Majesty, just lead the army to rebel against the Yuan, kill demons and eliminate demons." , is what I must do in this life!" After a pause, she continued, "Mingjiao is an evil heretic, together with Bailian, Miller and other cults, they are best at deceiving people's hearts. Be sure, the poor nun is about to grow old, and I would like to use my remaining courage to wipe out the demons with the sword of the sky, clean up the universe, and create the foundation for the future to open up the world!"

After she finished speaking, she did not stop, and recruited the disciples of the Emei Sect, except Bei Jinyi, secretary of the Dianjun, and male disciples who had already served as officers in the army. , leaving Hangzhou to go west, they have to go back to Emei for some preparations, and then carry them on their backs, cross the Qinling Mountains, and meet the Shaolin Temple in Chang'an.

Wei Xiao personally went to the river to see him off, watching the Emei faction's boat gradually disappear into the sky, and sighed slightly.

In fact, he kind of wants to stop this struggle, but he has little willpower.

Among the orthodox sects, he only had good relations with Wudang and Emei. He didn't go to Wudang, and only the safety of the Emei sect made him worry. As for Kunlun, Kongtong, and Huashan, he didn't have much contact.

On Mingjiao's side, he only made good friends with Wusanren and Ruijin Banner Commander Zhuang Zheng.

He has no position, no reason, and no motivation to get involved in this muddy water.

He is more interested in Mingjiao's unique knowledge of suppressing the teachings of heaven and earth.

Peng Yingyu and Zhou Dian got the news, came to say goodbye, and hurried back to Guangmingding to prepare for defense.

Wei Xiao also sent them to the riverside to board a boat. They were going to cross the river to the Central Plains, join the other three of the five scattered people, and return to Kunlun Mountain together with the Five Elements Flag. Wei Xiao had no way to persuade them, but could only say take care.

With these people gone, Wei Xiao had to continue to reform government affairs, train troops and prepare for war.

He is going west to take Hunan. If he doesn't take it, Xu Shouhui will take it.After taking Hunan, you can go to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. If Xu Shouhui takes it, he will be trapped in the southeast corner instead.

To take Hunan, in addition to land battles, there are also water battles. He has two navy divisions, one is the giant whale gate, and they are all big ships. They shuttle in the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea. Different actions were taken according to the target. For example, all ships of the Mongolian and Yuan courts were robbed, and the ships had to be sunk if they could not be robbed.If the barbarians from the sea come to do business, the Giant Whale Gate will protect them.

Wei Xiao wants the Giant Whale Gate to wipe out the pirates on the islands, and establish bases in Ryukyu, Sanyu, Champa, Siam, Java and other countries. Porcelain, tea, silk and other handicrafts were sold here, and then local rice, sugar cane, fish catches, timber, silver, precious stones, etc. were transported back to the mainland.

Different from the Giant Whale Gate, the Sanjiang Gate is a naval force that only travels in rivers and lakes. There are also gunboats, but they are relatively small, and the training methods are different. In addition to using cannons, there are also bed crossbows, rockets, etc. The sailors are more Pay attention to fighting against each other.

On this day, Wei Xiao went to Quanzhou Mansion to redistribute the warships and personnel of the two navy divisions.

This Quanzhou prefecture is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. The goods produced by Weiguo are shipped from here to all parts of the world, and the materials from overseas countries are also landed from here and shipped to various provinces.

As early as the Song Dynasty, it was very prosperous here, and you could see all kinds of foreigners. Now Wei Xiao strongly supports it, and the freight is developing rapidly. Go to the wholesale market to trade.

The tax officer set up by Wei Xiao was inspecting the box, and then assessed the value and issued a document to collect customs duties. Now, this item alone is more than the commercial taxes raised by several provinces every year.

Wei Xiao led a group of navy generals and was dispatching them. Suddenly, a few cannon shots were heard from a distance, and everyone was startled: Where did the pirates dare to attack Quanzhou after eating ambitions and swallowing leopards?Or Meng Yuan's navy?

Wei Xiao hurriedly sent someone to check, and quickly reported back: "A group of Persians refused to pay taxes when they wanted to enter Hong Kong. They killed our tax officer and dozens of defenders, and even opened fire on our city defense turrets!"
