After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 268 All the way to the west

Use your strength to fight.

The male student said this, and the medical students present all seemed to understand.

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but take a high look at the man, but saw that the man was only twenty years old, with a thin face, handsome features, and a pair of extremely clear eyes.

Xu Zhenying looked at the youthful faces below and was very satisfied. "As for the others, anyone who is interested can tell me. What is the situation at General Zhao's military camp? Have you found out any other news?"

Qiu Juniang said "Ah", as if she didn't expect that she had another level of mission.

She is a technical person, and her whole mind is on the cowpox vaccine. How can she expect to spy on the military situation by the way?

However, the male student who spoke first was encouraged by Xu Zhenying and became more bold, "Although we are doctors, they want to use us, but they also guard against us. We are definitely prohibited from entering the military aircraft area, but we and the soldiers below We have a very good relationship, so we hear a lot about some things.”

Xu Zhenying immediately became interested, and at the same time couldn't help but look at this person a few more times.

"According to my observation, the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor don't seem to have much trust in General Zhao Yi. Several of Zhao Yi's subordinates are from the capital's faction. They usually do not obey General Zhao Yi's discipline, and there are serious internal conflicts among the subordinates. This goes up and down, As a result, there were frequent fights among the soldiers down there. We were only there for a month, and they had three or four large-scale fights.”

Qiu Juniang nodded repeatedly and agreed: "That's right. We went to receive medical treatment several times."

"Also, the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty is more empty than we expected. I often hear the soldiers below complaining that the problem of military pay arrears is serious. The most serious problem is that the military pay is in arrears for more than one year. It is common for soldiers to go to war hungry. Soldiers Although he is still loyal to General Zhao Yi, he is somewhat resentful towards the imperial court. "

Xu Zhenying was thoughtful, this was consistent with the information Feng'er had sent back before.

"General Zhao Yi also seems to be very curious about the situation in our Jinzhou Prefecture. He always asks quietly about our military strength. When treating the soldiers, I also talk about our life here intentionally or unintentionally. I can see that Many people are still very excited. If the city lord wants to attack the north in the future, he can consider a two-pronged approach of public opinion warfare and internal attack. "

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but look at the male student who was speaking, "What's your name?"

"Back to City Lord, my name is Jiang Chaoping, and I am a student who just entered the medical school last year."

"Very good. You have a good sense of the overall situation and are sharp enough."

Qiu Juniang also immediately praised: "City Lord, I am a student with good grades and an even more diligent person."

Xu Zhenying suddenly stared at Qiu Juniang and smiled.

Qiu Juniang's scalp was numb, and she didn't know what she said wrongly. But the next second, Xu Zhenying said to Jiang Chaoping: "I still lack two secretaries by my side. Are you interested?"

What he said made everyone in the room feel excited.

It was Qiu Juniang who was the first to react. She almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and was filled with indignation: "City Lord, there is no such thing as poaching! As you said, it is not easy to train a medical student! Jiang Chaoping is only in the first grade now. How can you neglect your studies like this when you have only finished one-third of your studies?”

But Xu Zhenying lied: "Did I say this? Why don't I remember? Oh, Dean Qiu, such a talent will be robbed wherever he goes. Besides, being a secretary here is not bad, and there will be more opportunities in the future. ”

Everyone had never seen this side of Xu Zhenying, so they were a little surprised.

Xu Zhenying looked at Jiang Chaoping with a smile: "Jiang Chaoping, think about it and give me the answer tomorrow morning."

Jiang Chaoping was still a little confused, as if he didn't understand what happened at all.

Qiu Juniang wanted to argue, but she didn't know what she thought of, but she didn't say anything.

A group of people walked out of the government office gate in a daze.

The dozen or so people in this group looked at Jiang Chaoping differently.

The city lord's secretary, the emperor's close minister, are now the only way to enter the official career without taking examinations, not to mention that if you catch the city lord's eye, you will definitely have a bright future!

Of course, some people think that Jiang Chaoping is just relying on his face.

He is said to be a secretary, but he may be a male favorite or a face-sitter!

Of course, I only dare to say this in my heart. In front of the teacher and other students, I don't dare to say the right and wrong of the city lord.

As soon as they walked out of the gate of the government office, more than a dozen students began to chirp and make suggestions for Jiang Chaoping.

"Chaohei, go ahead, this opportunity is so rare! How many people dream of wanting to work for the city lord!"

"Yes, becoming the city lord's secretary is basically equivalent to entering the officialdom. Look at the previous secretaries, Xu Yinxi, Qian Zhenniang, and Feng'er. Which one is not a big shot now?"

"Yes, yes, after you go to the city lord's side, you can better promote the medical construction of our Jinzhou Mansion. You have a medical background and are diligent in your work. We are the only one in the court who can do things easily! "

"Freeze said!"

"What are you afraid of? We have people doing official business!"

"Yes, yes, we in the medical industry must have someone enter the officialdom, otherwise we will not be able to speak out! Like the research institute, money is spent very quickly to buy anything!"

"But after studying for a year, I just gave up halfway. It feels like a pity! As a doctor, you have a skill at your disposal. No matter what happens in the future, you will not be short of food! Let's talk about officialdom. We have such a head-turning attitude. Do you understand?"

"That's true."

Facing the booing from his classmates, Jiang Chaoping seemed surprisingly calm. He seemed to have just come back to his senses at this moment, and looked at Qiu Juniang with some uncertainty: "Teacher, what do you think?"

Qiu Juniang said with a smile: "I am just a doctor and I don't understand anything in the officialdom. I see that you have quite a lot of ideas in doing things, so it depends on what you think about this matter."

"Being an official?" Jiang Chaoping said to himself, with a little confusion in his eyes, "I have never thought about this path."

Qiu Juniang said: "Then think about it now."

"Dean, do you know what the secretary does? Does he work for the city lord to serve soup or do he handle government affairs?"

Qiu Juniang recalled carefully, "I didn't meet the city lords often, but I vaguely remember that they seemed to have to do everything. Welcoming guests, serving tea and water, handling government affairs, and drafting notices. I feel that they have a lot of power. By the way, you Did you see Instructor Gu just now? She is now the temporary secretary to the City Lord."

After hearing this, Jiang Chaoping understood a little.

Of course he remembered Gu Guihua.

Even though he has been working until now, he still has a calm smile on his face and is well-rounded in the face of countless people who come to see the city lord.

With that being said, he really does everything.

Qiu Juniang said: "You should think about it carefully. The city lord's side does have a brighter future. In fact, I think your character is quite suitable for an official career. As your classmates said, if you go to the city lord's side, we will be considered as court officials in the future." There are people out there who can do things easily, but it’s all up to you to choose, both paths are good.”

Jiang Chaoping couldn't make up his mind at this moment, so he had to say: "Teacher, let me think about it."

------------------

The King of Zhoushan has seven prefectures, and the one close to Jinzhou Prefecture is Gongzhou.

The followers of the King of Zhoushan believe in the White Lotus Mother, but in fact the deities are extremely complex, including the Jade Emperor in heaven, the King of Hell in hell, and the sages in the world. But the most common one is the old mother without birth, and the so-called eight-character mantra "Hometown in a vacuum, old mother without birth".

According to the King of Zhoushan, the Inanimate Mother is an ancient Buddha who has no birth or death in heaven. She wants to save her children from the earth and return to heaven to avoid disaster. This heaven is the hometown of Vacuum. He wrote his own scriptures, called Baojuan, which he often preached to believers.

Most of their followers are the common people at the bottom, and there are many followers. The King of Zhoushan claims to be the White Lotus Taoist, and often teaches his followers both the light and dark sects. At the same time, he preaches that "a great disaster is coming, the sky and the earth are dark, the sun and the moon have no light", "The yellow sky is about to die, "The sky will be born" and so on, organized the peasant uprising, so they raised the flag of rebellion early.

Farmers near Gongzhou, even though they are in poverty, still worship the "Unborn Mother" tablet in their homes, yearning for another bright and prosperous next life. The ruler of Gongzhou was Wang Lun, the leader of the Baiyang Sect, a branch of the King of Zhoushan. He had about 50,000 to 60,000 followers and was extremely popular at the time.

An Peilin and a dozen brothers were lurking in the camp in Gongzhou.

They can sneak in easily because the King of Zhoushan calls on believers to consider the world as their home, regards the relationship between church members as brothers and sisters with the same parents, calls on fellow believers to exchange property, help each other, and make men and women equal.

When An Peilin and others heard his teachings for the first time, they even felt that the Zhoushan King's propaganda ideas were very similar to those of Jinzhou Prefecture!
But then he saw hungry people all over the place. People sold their children and daughters to worship memorial tablets. The so-called equality between men and women, but Wang Lun still selected so-called "fairy boys" from the people to practice dual cultivation together. An Peilin and others immediately woke up!
What kind of Buddhist avatar is here to educate everyone? This is clearly a bandit act under the guise of religion!

This White Lotus Sect must be eradicated!

An Peilin couldn't help but think of Xu Zhenying's remarks about religion.

Religion is nothing more than people's incomplete understanding of nature, fear of unknown forces, and psychological sustenance.

Just like the people of the White Lotus Sect, because they are unable to resist this life and believe that this life's fate can only be like this, they either seek the next life or raise an army to rebel.

This gave people like the King of Zhoushan an opportunity to make money while rebelling and becoming kings.

How despicable.

An Peilin felt that this kind of territory with religious influence was really not easy to conquer. These ideas were like cancer, penetrating into the bones of the people. They would rather sell their children to raise money for incense, hoping to have a good pregnancy in the next life and reconnect with their children.

An Peilin felt very powerless.

Only then did he truly understand the weight of this sentence: Jinzhou Mansion is a good place.

It's like walking out of Jinzhou Mansion, the outside is like purgatory on earth.

Jinzhou Prefecture has used cement, eaten pork, and even the children have begun to read and read. However, the people outside Jinzhou Prefecture live like ants. A large number of fertile fields have been abandoned, and a large number of hungry people have been displaced. They pull leaves when they are hungry. Come to eat, sleep on the ground when tired, and be dragged away by wild dogs on the roadside when dead.

Everyone looked numb and disapproving. In the end, they even said enviously: "The sins in this life have been atoned for, and he will definitely be a rich man in the next life! He will live a good life -"

An Peilin and others tried to tell the believers about the days in Jinzhou Mansion.

"It's true! The people in their Jinzhou Prefecture have been eating meat for a long time! You know, there is a new king over there, named Xu Zhenying, who knows how to change money! Not only did he divide the fields and distribute food, he also gave his children Let’s go to school!”

"How could such a good thing happen? I'm afraid you were deceived."

"It's you who have been active in Gongzhou and don't know the changes outside! Just say that last year, Jinzhou Prefecture was severely affected by the disaster. There were probably more than ten or two hundred thousand refugees. Their days were similar to yours. They all ate leaves. , in the cold winter, they didn’t even have clothes, just wandering outside like wild dogs! But since Xu Zhenying left, her Lan County has taken in tens of thousands of refugees! "

Perhaps similar experiences aroused everyone's curiosity, and finally someone listened to what An Peilin muttered at the top of his lungs.

The eyes of the believers gradually became a little angry.

"Tens of thousands of people? What about food? We know that Jinzhou Prefecture was hit by a disaster last year. The Wujiang River flooded and flooded many villages and towns. We also have many people who escaped from Jinzhou Prefecture."

An Peilin waved his arms and said as exaggeratedly as possible, "Don't you know, Xu Zhenying and the others don't know where they got the seeds, called sweet potatoes! That guy can grow if you throw it into the soil. This year, it will grow in one acre." They collected more than 2,000 kilograms of grain! Just eating sweet potatoes will make you full! By the way, there are also Lan County pigs. They don’t know the method they read in any book. If they feed the pigs according to their method, they will grow in half a year. Two hundred kilograms! Nowadays, every household in Lan County raises pigs. It’s almost the end of the year, but the people in Lan County have already smoked bacon. The oil from the bacon is dripping on the ground and can be seen from ten miles away. Smell the aroma!"

The people around them couldn't help their throats rolling, and they all swallowed hard, "Then...is the sweet potato delicious?"

"It's delicious! It's soft and fragrant, and it's very filling! Eat one and you won't feel hungry for hours!"

"real or fake?!"

"of course it's true!"

"Then how did you know?"

An Peilin was stunned for a moment, then said: "My hometown is right next to Jinzhou Mansion. I heard what people there said! And the smell of meat is really real!"

"Since life is so good over there, why don't you run there?"

An Peilin slapped his thigh: "Oh, didn't I lose my mother and father when the leader called? Someone said they came along the west, so I had to look for them all the way! I didn't know it had been so long. , I couldn’t find them!”

"Hey, tell me what your parents look like?"

"My father..." An Peilin's mind was racing, "He is thin and dry, his skin is a little dark, and he is a little short. My mother is also short, and she speaks with a Jinzhou accent!"

"Oh, that's not easy to find. It feels like we all look similar to your parents!"

"Oh, what can I do? I can only find it! As a child, how can I still ignore my parents?" An Peilin kept sighing. He only felt that he started lying as soon as he arrived in Gongzhou. He was still comfortable following the city lord before. , there is no need to think about things in your mind every day, just focus on the personal safety of the city lord.

An Peilin felt that he had really taken on a big and hot task!

This spy is not something ordinary people can handle!

"Goudan, tell us again, is life really so good in Jinzhou Mansion?"

An Peilin suddenly heard the word "goudan" and was a little confused.

It's all because he forgot to pick a majestic name when he joined their team. When others asked, he blurted out the word "goudan".

A dozen of his subordinates were holding back laughter.

"Hum, I just saw other people's experiences. They are all hearsay. I don't know whether they are true or not! Anyway, my home is very close to Jinzhou Prefecture, just over a mountain. There is also a girl who married in our village. In the past. Life is similar on both sides, and Jinzhou Prefecture is a little poorer than us. Only the older ones or those whose families are poor would consider going to Jinzhou Prefecture to get married. But this year is different. The girls there go back to their parents’ families. Everyone's back is straight, and they never come back empty-handed. There's a basket full of pork, cotton cloth, and copper plates!"

An Peilin was secretly grateful that he had followed the city lord for so long. The city lord often met with the village chiefs of the villages below, so he was able to compile so much material now.

An Peilin saw that the lifeless crowd finally had some reaction, and the people sitting around him gradually gathered around, so he decided to take another powerful shot.

These are all parents. Anyone who doesn’t have a son or daughter naturally has to plan for the next generation.

"I also heard what my mother said, saying that a school has been opened there, and every village is assigned a teacher to teach reading and literacy for free! We don't charge a single copper! Many children in our mountains can read! It’s just a pity that those are the people of Jinzhou Prefecture. We are not from Jinzhou Prefecture, so we don’t have that blessing!”

The believers stared at them with doubts on their faces.

Sun Ping, a soldier under An Peilin, immediately said: "It's true! I have a cousin who married to Xiangshui Village. That place is far away from Jinzhou Prefecture, but we still got food during the winter last year! Bai Bai Huahua’s rice is enough to feed a family of three for a month! My nephew is already in school and can write letters! If nothing happened at home, we would have planned to go there as a family!”

A group of people were talking around, and Leng Buding saw people wearing the uniforms of the Zhoushan King coming over. There were about a dozen of them, and they searched all the way, and then they came to An Peilin.

One of the soldiers pointed at him and said, "That's him! General Wu, this guy has been spreading news about Jinzhou Prefecture these days. Maybe he is a spy sent by Jinzhou Prefecture!"

An Peilin and others were stunned.

Before he could react, the leader and several people held him down, "Capture him and hand him over to the leader for interrogation!"

An Peilin was taken away just like that.

The remaining dozen or so people all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

They are now alone with no news. Even if something happens, Jinzhou Mansion will be too late to rescue them.

Several people looked at each other as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
