Chapter 58 Preparing for Attack
Chapter 58 Prepare for Attack Where there are people, there will be oppression, and there will be hierarchy.
The reason why these villagers built a village to protect themselves is because they can't stand the oppression and exploitation of the governor's office.
More than half a year has passed, and the Taiping Sect has developed rapidly, expanding from several counties to a prefecture. The believers are no longer limited to the lower-class people. Some nobles are also affected and begin to join the Taiping Sect.
There are many speculators among them. They don't believe in the Taiping world, nor do they believe that the Great Sage and the Grand Duke General are the messengers sent by the Supreme Lord to save their father's life. They don't even believe in the existence of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and "Huang Da". They just fancy the future of the Taiping Sect.
Or, this is the wisdom of some "middle-class families" who start to bet in advance.
It is dangerous to be a top family. Once the rule is shaken, it will be a family fire, and there is no room for maneuver.
However, the "middle-class families" are relatively safe and have room to swing left and right. They can change the court.
These nobles secretly joined the Taiping Religion. If the Taiping Religion defeated the Governor's Office and became the master of this world, then they would be considered as the dragon's successors, not only could they preserve their families, but they could even go a step further.
After all, the nobles have a family background, which is actually a better educational resource. They also have a family background, which means they have capital investment, so they are naturally stronger than believers from common people, and it is easier for them to be in the upper echelons of the Taiping Religion.
But the nobles' motives are not pure. They are more for the sake of maintaining their own interests, which makes the team impure and the situation complicated.
In this way, the Taiping Religion is at risk of falling early, and it will be difficult to lead the team if it is separated from the people.
Zhou Mengyao doesn't care about this. As long as she can provide incense and vows, it is enough. She doesn't plan to live here for a long time. What does it have to do with her whether the Taiping Religion falls or not? As long as the mission is completed, the demise of the Taiping Religion is not a big deal.
Moreover, Zhou Mengyao did not think that the nobles were so harmful. After all, she was born in an aristocratic family, and she was also a Daoyi noble in a sense. Qi Xuansu was opposed to this and believed that it was better to start and end well.
We borrowed the power of the common people, so naturally we should give the common people here a relatively perfect ending.
In the Yellow Turban Army controlled by Qi Xuansu, the believers were still mainly from civilians.
This actually also reflects the different concepts between Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao due to their origins.
Some high-level officials of the Taiping Sect were keenly aware of the differences between the two core figures, and the high-level officials of the sect from nobles all stood on the side of the great virtuous teacher Zhou Mengyao.
They were looking forward to Zhou Mengyao launching a thunderbolt and destroying the civilian faction headed by Qi Xuansu, so that they could take advantage of the situation to get involved in the Yellow Coin Army and gain control of the military power they lacked the most.
For this reason, they repeatedly made indirect attacks in front of Zhou Mengyao, and even spoke directly against their superiors.
Someone suggested setting up a grand banquet, inviting Qi Xuansu to come, and arranging Fu Liyao's hands left and right, and breaking the cup as a signal.
Someone also suggested that there was a river outside the city called Anshui, and the Great Sage and Good Teacher could refer to Anshui.
Zhou Mengyao saw this and was quite disapproving.
Many people were heartbroken for this, thinking that the Great Sage and Good Teacher was too soft-hearted, indecisive, and undecided to join the conspiracy.
But they didn't know that the Taiping Sect was just a tool for Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu to leave the "Shenjing". Why would Zhou Mengyao turn against Qi Xuansu for the Taiping Sect? If they really wanted to turn against each other and fight for power, it would be after leaving Shenjing.
Even if she defeated Qi Xuansu now, the price would be to stay here for the rest of her life, which would mean that the original was not straight, and everything became meaningless.
What's more, she still liked Qi Xuansu very much recently, as if they had returned to the past relationship between master and apprentice.
In the final analysis, the frog at the bottom of the well could only see a small piece of sky above his head, and didn't know the vastness outside, so naturally he couldn't understand Zhou Mengyao's disapproval.
Zhou Mengyao never showed soft-heartedness, let alone indecision.
It's just unnecessary.
There are also many people on Qi Xuansu's side who advise him to be careful of the Great Sage and Good Teacher, but they are afraid of the "divine power" of the Great Sage and Good Teacher. No one has proposed to solve the problem once and for all with a small-scale palace coup. Most of them are mainly for prevention, and at most they persuade Qi Xuansu to set up his own household.
Dazhangguan was born and lived in Guandi, how could he live under someone in Yudu for a long time? This reminds Qi Xuansu of a rather arbitrary and unreasonable statement. In fact, the top talents of a county can govern Guanxia, because the principles under the sky are all the same, and there is nothing new under the sun.
The team of the emperors of the past dynasties is just one or two counties. As long as they are given enough experience and growth space, these nobles are not worse than the transferred families, and may even be stronger.
Now it seems that the Taiping Sect is only a place to go, but the level of these people's play is no less than that of the emperors and ministers in history books. The core is the same. No matter how many tricks, how many alliances, and how many vertical and horizontal alliances, they are essentially paving the way for the final killing. The most thorough way is to destroy the body.
Many neutral parties saw this and were anxious in their hearts. Some people shouted the slogan "If Tianmu kills Brother Guan, the country will not be able to break through."
However, Zhou Mengyao only looks young, but in fact she is also an old man who has experienced many things in the world. Although she has no official position, she is a well-deserved number one figure in the Qingping Society, and she still has a very deep understanding of the 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 decided to launch a purge internally to deal with some people who were plotting against the law.
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 in 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 internally, so that more powerful force can be unleashed.
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, walked in quickly, and saluted respectfully.
Qi Xuansu said: "In the name of the good teacher, 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 want to clean you up. 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.
