Chapter 180 Fighting for the Puppet Leader

"What do you mean?" Zhang Junbao was very surprised by Zhao Yilian's words. He actually understood it in his heart, but he still asked.

"When I found the treasure place, there were only 200 taels of gold, more than 3000 taels of silver, and some jewelry and jade, which added up to only tens of thousands of taels of silver. In addition to these, there were some moldy grains and silk, satin and silk." Zhao Yilian said.

Zhang Junbao was silent for a while, and then said: "So, all the treasures of the Song Dynasty should be used for the great cause of fighting against the Yuan Dynasty?"

The Great Song court in Lin'an had surrendered a long time ago, and later there was still power to resist the Yuan Dynasty, which should have consumed the treasures of the Great Song Dynasty.

"I don't know." Zhao Yilian shook his head and said, "I really don't know what happened at that time. It was more like a warehouse for storing food and salaries during the Yashan sea battle. Maybe, as you said, the treasures of the Song Dynasty It was excavated, and it was used in the later anti-Yuan cause."

It is impossible for the so-called Great Song Treasure to only have tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if it is a few hundred thousand taels, it may not be more than that.

After all, these treasures have been handed down for so long, so I dare not say that they are worth tens of millions of taels, but there should be millions of taels.

So when Zhao Yilian found it, he couldn't believe it.

But this map is not fake, he searched carefully there, and found no other secret room or anything like that, indeed there is no other property.

Da Song Treasure became a joke in the end.

"Then what's the matter with the Great Song Treasure that is spreading so much?" Zhang Junbao stopped thinking about the Great Song Treasure. Gone.

So now that the Great Song Treasure is spread out, it is Zhao Yilian or Mingjiao who set up a game secretly, and I don't know who to deal with.

"To deal with the Yuan court?" Zhang Junbao added.

The Ming religion rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and revived the Song Dynasty. In Zhang Junbao's view, their ultimate goal must be the imperial court.

"In order to clean up the Pu clan." Zhao Yilian's face darkened, and his voice became a bit cold, "Pu Shougeng led the Pu clan to bloodbath Quanzhou City, and the Zhao clan in the city was almost slaughtered. This enmity is irreconcilable. Therefore, I came up with this method to lead the matter of the Great Song treasure to the Pu family, making them the target of public criticism."

Zhang Junbao didn't expect it to be Mrs. Pu, the compassionate teacher rescued Song Yixi in Quanzhou back then, the two of them were sisters and could not escape.

"Revenge?" Zhang Junbao frowned slightly, "Based on this reason alone, Mingjiao might not attack with all its strength?"

Zhang Junbao now has a lot of understanding of Mingjiao, because Zhao Yilian is not Fang Tianheng's biological daughter, so there are actually not many people who are loyal to her in Mingjiao.

One is her female status, and the other is that she is not Fang Tianheng's biological daughter. These two points put Zhao Yilian at a disadvantage compared to Fang Zhaofu, a bastard.

How could the Mingjiao do its best to help Zhao Yilian?

Fang Tianheng has several other sons, but the others don't seem to care too much about the position of leader, and are basically immersed in martial arts.

On the contrary, Fang Zhaofu, who is not highly qualified, has been peeping at the position of leader for a long time.

The leader of Mingjiao, logically speaking, should be the number one master of Mingjiao.

But since the Fang family has controlled the Ming Cult for hundreds of years, the choice of the master of the sect may not necessarily be the strongest person.

According to rumors, even Fang Tianheng is not the strongest person in the Ming Cult, the real powerful ones are some elders of the Fang family, that is, some elders of Fang Tianheng.

Many of these guys are still alive, but they basically won't show up, even the retreat places are top secret, and it's hard for outsiders to know.

Therefore, the leader of the Mingjiao seems to be the No. 1 of the Mingjiao, but in fact, he is secretly restrained by many people, especially those old guys. It is actually easy for them to abolish the leader.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Zhaofu has the opportunity to become the leader, and his other brothers are not so interested in the position of leader.

Because even the leader has to be controlled by others, so it is better to be obsessed with martial arts, and one's own strength is the foundation.

"For money." Zhao Yilian replied, "Do you know how much wealth the Pu family has?"

How could Zhang Junbao know.

"It's said that the Pu family is as rich as a country, it's astonishing to think about it." Zhang Junbao thought for a while and said, "I don't know the exact amount."

"Two million times." Zhao Yilian said coldly, "The Pu family has occupied Quanzhou for many years. After several generations of management, their wealth has expanded to an incomparably astonishing level. The Song Dynasty treasure is gone, but their Pu family treasure can make up for it." Above. The Mingjiao side will agree to my plan only for Pu’s property. One is to avenge my Zhao clan, the second is to bring a large amount of property to Mingjiao as food, and the third is to attack Yuanting in the south His power can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Zhang Junbao thinks about it too, if the news gets out, most people in the world will believe it.

Because since the Ming Cult dared to release this news, they must have tampered with the place where the treasure was hidden. They should have left some hidden traces, and the point of the finger was that Mrs. Pu had found the treasure of the Song Dynasty.

So when they rushed into the place where the treasure was hidden, they got nothing, and finally found traces of Pu's moving the treasure, wouldn't it make them go crazy?
The wealth of the Pu family is well known, and they were already jealous.

Now that there is the treasure of the Song Dynasty, it will push them to the forefront.

Once these people in the rivers and lakes are jealous, they can do anything, especially when it is profitable.

Mingjiao obviously wanted to use the whole, at least half of the Jianghu, to target the Pu family, and then they secretly attacked the Pu family and seized their property in one fell swoop.

"I was thinking that Pu's family is so rich, and your Mingjiao can do it long ago, why wait until now?" Zhang Junbao asked, "Even if Pu's secretly raised a lot of masters, and even has the support of the court, as long as your Mingjiao makes up his mind , the Pu family will definitely not be able to resist. Compared with the price you paid, the benefits brought to you after the Pu family's destruction should be greater, how can this deal be a good deal?"

"It wasn't so urgent before." Zhao Yilian said, "The current situation of Mingjiao is not optimistic."

"how do I say this?"

"The power of the Yuan Court is getting stronger and stronger. The anti-Yuan forces have been losing year after year. Now the power is not as good as before. Many of them have already wavered. If this continues, I am afraid that only the Mingjiao family will be left in the end. Those who die die, those who scatter, those who surrender. Therefore, a major event must be done to gather all forces. What is more exciting than wealth?" Zhao Yilian explained.

Zhang Junbao understood it, indeed.

In fact, since the Yashan naval battle, the remaining anti-Yuan forces have actually become somewhat fragmented.

Even if Mingjiao is secretly taking the lead, it is still not as powerful as before.

In the past few years, many forces have been destroyed, and more of them may have surrendered to the Yuan Court, which has brought the anti-Yuan forces into a trough.

If we don't take some action at this time, it will really be like what Zhao Yilian said, and in the end only Mingjiao, the anti-Yuan force, will be left.

"If it is successful, it can attack the Yuan court and strengthen the anti-Yuan forces, which is very good." Zhang Junbao nodded, "Then how dare Fang Zhaofu lay hands on you, Fang Tianheng acquiesced? The high-level Mingjiao will not be ignorant of it, right? "

Zhang Junbao was clear about the Great Song Treasure, but he still couldn't figure out how to let Fang Zhaofu do whatever he wanted on the Mingjiao side.

"The adoptive father is in seclusion, and he doesn't know about these things at all." Zhao Yilian sighed, "I believe in the adoptive father. This matter is very complicated to talk about, and it has to do with some disputes within the Mingjiao."

"Secret?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Even if it's a secret, what's the point of telling you?" Zhao Yilian said lightly.

"If it's really a secret, it's hard for an outsider like me to inquire about it."

"I can tell you, since you are curious, then listen." Zhao Yilian said unhappily, "Actually, there are quite a few people in the sect, well, some old guys in the Fang family support Fang Zhaofu to take over as the leader. position."

"Let's not talk about Fang Zhaofu, Fang Tianheng is fine, he is not injured, and his time limit is approaching. How can he sit in the position of leader for a long time, is it so urgent to choose the next leader?" Zhang Junbao wondered .

Fang Tianheng's age is about sixty or seventy. Among the masters, this age is actually not that old. What's the problem with being the leader for another 20 years?
"It's not what you think." Zhao Yilian shook his head and said, "In recent years, foster father often retreats, concentrating on martial arts, and entrusting the affairs of the teaching to the people below."

"The leader who doesn't care about things?" Zhang Junbao was a little surprised, "I heard that Fang Tianheng is a powerful person, how could he not care about things?"

"That happened a few years ago." Zhao Yilian said, "So, the upper echelons of the Fang family are considering Fang Tianheng's abdication and re-electing a leader. After all, there is not much difference between whether the adoptive father is now the leader or not. As for the leader It doesn't matter how old you are or how powerful you are, as long as you can handle the normal affairs of the sect in this position. Although the adoptive father has given the matter to the people below, they are not the masters of the sect after all, and they can't decide many things at all. Father often retreats, making Mingjiao somewhat chaotic these years. Fang Zhaofu has been very active in recent years, especially after receiving the support of several old Fang family members, he is even more arrogant, and feels that the position of leader must belong to him."

"Is there no one to compete with him?" Zhang Junbao frowned.

He probably understands the thoughts of those guys in the upper echelons of the Fang family. They just want to support a puppet, otherwise how can someone like Fang Zhaofu become the leader.

"My other older brothers don't care much about the affairs of the church, let alone the position of the leader. After all, Fang Zhaofu, a bastard, is more suitable." Zhao Yilian sighed.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Zhao Yilian pondered for a while and said, "There are indeed people who support me in the sect, but it's a pity that the Fang family is in power in the Ming sect."

Zhang Junbao nodded. Zhao Yilian's status as a clan member of the Zhao family could indeed gain the support of some people, but most of these people were not from the Fang family's line.

So, compared to Fang Zhaofu, Zhao Yilian doesn't have an advantage here, even if she is very good herself.

"So Fang Zhaofu got the tacit approval of some old members of the Fang family when he shot you?" Zhang Junbao said with a serious face.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to lend him a hundred guts."

In fact, Zhang Junbao could have thought of this before, after all, Zheng Hudong said it.

If Fang Zhaofu really wanted to marry Zhao Yilian, then he would be able to better integrate the forces loyal to the Song Dynasty, and in this way, the power of Mingjiao could be further improved.

I believe that many old guys in the Fang family were concerned about these forces, so they acquiesced to Fang Zhaofu's behavior.

"Since that's the case, then you might as well leave Mingjiao." Zhang Junbao thought for a while.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that even Fang Tianheng can hardly protect Zhao Yilian.

Leaving is the best way to get out of this dangerous place.

The current Mingjiao is not friendly to Zhao Yilian, so it is not good to stay any longer.

"Why should I leave?" Zhao Yilian glanced at Zhang Junbao and said resolutely, "If I can still live, even if the leader is a puppet, he will have to fight, how can I lose to that trash Fang Zhaofu. "
