Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

A few days later, the first meeting of Mingjiao since Fang La took over as leader was held on a sunny winter day.

Deng Yuanjue and others keenly discovered that the originally prepared location, that is, people who shouldn't be there often appeared near Fang La's residence. After Fang La learned about it, he decisively notified the helmsmen and changed the location temporarily.

The new location is a farm on the outskirts of Shezhou. This is the property of the wealthy businessman Lu Shinang. He is also a member of the Ming religion. He often distributes money to help the people.

Fang La, Deng Yuanjue and others arrived in secret one step earlier, and ordered all the rudder masters to come here pretending to be beggars. Lu Shinang's family cooks porridge every day for relief, and mixes with the crowd of beggars without anyone noticing.

It's just that the rudder masters had some complaints, especially Raozhou rudder master Wang Zongshi, who was so angry that he saw Fang La talking to some strangers in the backyard of the farm, and wanted to point Fang La's nose and curse.

"Now that I have to discuss important matters related to my teaching, I have to do this secret way. Master Wang Tuo has suffered."

Seeing Wang Zongshi's resentment, Fang La got up with a smile, and greeted him personally as the leader.

Even if Wang Zongshi doesn't know good or bad, he also understands superiority and inferiority, and most of his anger has disappeared. Coupled with Fang La's smiling face, Wang Zongshi is not easy to get angry. He is the oldest in teaching."

"I dare not be greeted by the Master of Labor."

Wang Zongshi hesitated for a moment, but still bowed his hands to Fang La.

"Wang Tuozhu, please sit next to me for a while." Fang La nodded and said, "We will discuss the matter after all the Tuozhun are here."

Wang Zongshi saw that a lot of stools had been prepared by the side, and there were a few helmsmen sitting here and there, but there were three or five people he knew well, so he chose the front seat, said hello, and looked up and down Deng Yuanjue and the others.

Wang Zongshi had never seen these five people before, and he was suspicious: "There are these few outsiders here at the Mingjiao Conference, what is Fang La's intention?"

Just as he was thinking, there was loud footsteps outside the courtyard, but other rudder masters had arrived, filing in and taking their seats one by one; the last ones to come in were Quzhou rudder master Yu Wupo and Yanzhou rudder master Wang Cang, and they actually walked side by side. Entering, with an intimate manner, first saluted Fang La, and the two chose a place farthest from Wang Zongshi to sit down.

Seeing it, Wang Zongshi couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that Wang Cang and Yu Wupo are already married?"

Seeing this, Fang La smiled slightly, turned around and walked in front of the crowd, pressing down with both hands, and the helmsmen fell silent for a moment.

"Everyone!" Fang La glanced at all the rudder masters: "This time, we are called to discuss a top priority issue of our religion for hundreds of years! This matter must not be known by the government, so let everyone pretend to be beggars!"

All the rudder masters were shocked when they heard that, since the establishment of Mingjiao, Zhongtu Mingjiao has been preaching in secret. Although there are hundreds of thousands of believers, they still act in secret on weekdays. The attitude of the government towards Mingjiao is also turning a blind eye. , as long as you don't mess with the government, naturally you have nothing to worry about.

But when Fang La said this, he implied that he wanted to fight against the government, and the helmsmen were full of doubts.

Fang La saw everyone's expressions, smiled slightly, and let the others go, but ordered Deng Yuanjue and the other five people to come forward: "Before the discussion, there are five brothers who want to be introduced to everyone!"

Deng Yuanjue, Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Fang Jie, Pang Wanchun and other five people stood in front of the crowd. Fang La mentioned his name and teaching position one by one. It's nothing, but the other four people are unfamiliar. What's even more puzzling is that Deng Yuanjue is still wearing a scorching scarlet straight gown, with nine scars on his forehead. He is obviously a monk!

"Master Fang!" Wang Zongshi stood up and said, "These five people have just joined the religion, and they have no merit, so they are in high positions. , he is a monk, can he do it?"

Fang La smiled and said nothing, but Deng Yuanjue took a step forward and said the Buddha's name: "The clothes and appearance are nothing more than skins. A certain family is indeed a Buddhist, but they also believe in Mingjiao. Why not?"

After Deng Yuanjue said these few words, he quietly retreated into the team and stood with his hands down.

Wang Zongshi was speechless for a while. After thinking about it carefully, Mingjiao teachings only believed in the light, but it really didn't prohibit other sects from joining the religion. After thinking about it, he shouted: "Even so, what credit do you have for being an envoy of light?"

As soon as this remark came out, several rudder masters responded immediately, all of them were veterans who had been in Mingjiao for many years.

Fang La suddenly said: "Master Wang Tuo, let me ask you, what is my teaching?"

"As the leader of the sect, you come to ask me?" Wang Zongshi shouted: "Clean! Bright! Powerful! Wisdom! This is the teaching of my Mingjiao!"

Wang Zongshi's eight words really summed up the teachings of Mingjiao, and when he said them word by word, he immediately attracted the applause of many helmsmen.

Wang Zongshi was triumphant, but saw Fang La smiling and nodding his head, saying: "Okay! Master Wang Tuo said well! Then the manufacturing bureau set up by the current imperial court goes to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to collect scraped carnations and rare treasures. The corrupt official Zhu Xi and others took the opportunity Blackmailing the people and making a fortune. The people are complaining, what should my Mingjiao do?"

Seeing Fang La's sudden change of subject, Wang Zongshi murmured to himself, but the topic was so heavy that Wang Zongshi had no choice but to sternly say: "My followers of the Ming Cult will definitely overcome the darkness with supreme strength and wisdom, and return a clean light to all the people in the south of the Yangtze River. world!"

Fang La clapped and said, "What Wang Tuozhu said is very true. This is why Fang called everyone here today!"

Hearing these words, all the rudder masters understood three or four points, some nodded silently, and some were filled with righteous indignation, Wang Cang and Yu Wupo looked at each other, Yu Wupo quietly stretched out her hand to touch the back of Wang Cang's hand, Wang Cang turned his hands over and held hands with Yu Wupo tightly.

"Fifth wife, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to announce our marriage in front of everyone, and the leader can also be a witness, but the leader's uprising is imminent..."

Before Wang Cang finished speaking, Yu Wupo took over the conversation and said, "Children love each other, but heroes are short-tempered. Don't worry about it before marriage."

Wang Cang sighed, "Let's wait until the master's event is completed."

The two whispered to each other, no one else heard them, and nodded to each other, Wang Cang let go of his hands, clenched his fists tightly, stood up and shouted: "The leader started an incident, although Yanzhou only has three thousand five hundred and sixty-six Famous disciples must also go all out!"

Yu Wupo also clenched her fists and stood up: "The 120 and eight congregants in Quzhou are waiting for the order of the leader!"

The other rudder masters were in an uproar, and Raozhou rudder master Wang Zongshi saw Wang Cang and Yu Wupo robbed the conversation, snorted coldly, clasped his fists and said, "Master! There are more than [-] believers in Raozhou, including a certain family. Willing to be the vanguard of the Ming Cult!"

With Wang Zongshi's statement, the other helmsmen couldn't help standing up to show their attitude, and none of them sat down for a while.

Seeing this, Fang La sighed secretly: "Although there are gaps among the helmsmen in my Ming Cult, they can still form a bond in the face of major events. I am too worried!"

"Everyone, please sit down." Fang La's expression was serious, and he said slowly after all the rudder masters sat down again: "This is not a trivial matter, and it needs to be carefully planned. Showing off your courage for a while will actually ruin a major event! Now I teach The strength is not enough to fight against the imperial court, even if we can occupy the prefectures and counties for a while, we will not be able to resist the imperial court's army."

Wang Zongshi raised his head and said: "What is the strategy of the leader, just say it! I will follow it one by one."

As soon as Wang Zongshi finished speaking, there were voices of agreement.

"One year!" Fang La stretched out a finger: "My Mingjiao will endure for a year. During this year, we must vigorously develop the congregation, especially those who have military power and ability in the government. Everyone, those who are not willing to join my Ming Cult should also be recruited to prepare for the future uprising! Only in this way can we take down all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River at the fastest speed when the uprising occurs in the next year. Even if the court is vigilant, there is no time to rescue them !"

"this..."

Fang La's words caused a lot of discussion among the audience.

When it comes to fighting and risking their lives, these helmsmen are not afraid, but when it comes to recruiting and developing officials from the government to join the religion, it is embarrassing.

"Actually, you don't need to force it." Fang La explained: "It is indeed difficult to win over directly, but as long as you are a person, you will have parents and relatives, and there will be three disasters and five disasters. As long as you work hard, you can gradually approach these people in the government from the outside. If you show up in time when it is difficult, you will get good results. You must remember not to rush for success."

After speaking, Fang La smiled slightly: "Envoy of Light, come and tell everyone about your previous experience."

Only then did the rudder masters understand that the strategy proposed by the new leader is not just an idea, but has already partially become a reality, and Deng Yuanjue, the new light envoy, is the forerunner!

Deng Yuanjue stepped forward and coughed: "According to the leader's wishes, a certain family will tell everyone about Dongchang Mansion and Dongping Mansion!"

Dongchang Mansion!Dongping Mansion!

Some rudder owners immediately thought of two well-known figures.

The soldiers and horses of Dongchang Mansion are in prison without Yu Jian Zhang Qing!

Dongping Mansion Brigade and Horse Commander Dong Ping!

Could it be that Deng Yuanjue has already drawn these two people into Mingjiao?

"That's right, the soldiers and horses in these two places have been recruited. Although they haven't joined the church yet, it's just a sentence from a certain family." Deng Yuanjue answered the puzzled eyes of the rudder masters. , and then began to introduce the experience: "Zhang Qing got a strange disease some time ago..."

Deng Yuanjue's words made the helmsmen nod their heads again and again, as if they saw a glimmer of possibility from the impossible.

Wang Zongshi finally understood why Deng Yuanjue was able to get the position of the Bright Envoy!

Before Fang La became the leader, she had already acted secretly to prepare for all this!

Wang Zongshi was finally convinced, and like other rudder masters, he gave all his strength, even his life, for the upcoming bright cause without hesitation.

So far, the meeting was considered a complete success, and all the rudder masters also left one after another, each planning how to win over the people in the government such as supervisors and controls from all over the country.

"When the spring of the next year comes, it will be time to raise the flag!" Fang La silently prayed: "Master Ming! Give me strength!"
