Chapter 232 Thunder Disposal
Small hidden, hidden in the wild, big hidden, hidden in the city.
No one expected that with the energy of Zhifengtang, he did not find out the old way of Tiansong in those years. Now he has changed and become a well-known Zhao Dashan. Now he lives in Jiankang City and runs silk as his business.
At this time, in the secret room of Zhao Dashan's inner house, Hui Neng, who had taken off the monk's robe, was talking with Yuan Zhengtong. If the two monk's apprentices see the master wearing a nondescript costume, I'm afraid their eyes will fall off.
Things are grouped together, and people are grouped. This sentence is the best interpretation for Tiansong, Huineng and others. As early as when Tiansong called for wind and rain, several people already knew each other. If Tiansong's rebellion was successful, it is estimated that the two ambitious monks would have jumped out.
Tiansong looked coldly at the two like-minded partners and was full of disdain. If he had more than half of the followers of Buddhism, I guess the world would have been his own.
"Why didn't you tell me about Yangzhou in advance? Besides, you just want to test Mr. Hun's reaction to this matter, and other places should be prepared, right? Now it's good. How can the faint king hold Yangzhou with a thunderous momentum and make your power look like other places?
Huineng swept his arrogant appearance in front of the sky and was as obedient as a good grandson. In fact, he didn't want to do this, but the government had listed him as the second Liu Yu's evil wanted, and he also pointed to Tiansong to help him escape from Jiankang!
"Yes... The lesson of Taoist brother is that the faint king has begun to take action now. What should I do next? Please give more tips."
Fate understands Huineng's mind, and also echoes it.
Tian Song said indifferently, "Don't worry. I will arrange a boat for you to leave as soon as possible, but I suggest you go south and north to Qin."
Yao Xing worships Buddhism, and Buddhism also develops best there, so Hui Neng and Yuan want to escape to the State of Qin, but one of them goes south, which makes them a little confused.
Huineng said humbly, "Brother, please tell me in detail"
"If you go north, you don't need me to explain, but the meaning of going south is that you don't lose the foundation of the south of the Yangtze River. There are many mountains in the Yangtze River, and you can slowly accumulate strength in the mountains and go out of the mountains when the time is ripe."
The two understood that although the government has taken some action, there are more than thousands of Buddhist believers in the world. Even if the emperor is iron-blooded, he does not dare to kill them. It can be said that their seeds are still there. As long as those missing confidants are organized, they will not become an army in time.
The two monks understood and bowed together to thank Tiansong. Then they couldn't help asking, "Master Tianshi, what time do you mean when the time is ripe?"
"What the fuck do I know?"
Tian Song smiled unprehensably and said, "The secrets cannot be leaked. You just need to be prepared."
"Oh! Right... Heaven can't be leaked"
Just when the three conspirators discussed the opportunity, Lu Zongzhi held Lu Qiang's sword and also arrived in Yangzhou.
As Lu Qiang expected, although Han Yanzhi sent troops to surround Yangzhou, he did not dare to act rashly because the situation was too big. The arrival of Lu Zongzhi made him breathe.
Lu Zongzhi did not delay. After learning more about the situation of the troubler, he gave Han Yanzhi the emperor's characterization of this matter.
After the failure of persuasion, all of them were eliminated, and afterwards declared that this incident was the remnants of Erliu.
Yangzhou Taishou is still the Zhu family, which is Lu Qiang's special care for the Zhu family, but he is only a civilian now and can't transfer a soldier at all.
After listening to the emperor's will conveyed by Lu Zongzhi, Zhu Taishou couldn't help frowning and said, "Those who make trouble are not too bad, and the damage to the government office is not serious. Moreover, there are more than a thousand people. If they are killed all, isn't it a little..."
Lu Zong coldly interrupted Zhu Taishou's words and said, "Lord Zhu can send someone to tell these people that I will only give them half an hour. If they gather in front of the government office and refuse to disperse, don't blame me."
"Half an hour?"
Although Han Yanzhi felt that the killing was too heavy, he would never hesitate to carry out the order issued by Lu Qiang.
"Lord Zhu, if we compromise with the troublers here, other places will become bigger and bigger. You should understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."
Zhu Taishou still has Buddha statues in his family, but together with this matter, Zhu Chaoshi, the owner of Jiankang, sent people to strictly order him not to participate in it and must be consistent with the pace of the emperor.
Thinking that most of them are local people, they can't help sighing slightly and saying, "Let's go there in person!" However, please, can you give me a little more time?"
Han Yanzhi looked at Lu Zongzhi and nodded, "I'll give you another half an hour. Go quickly!" I will now start to transfer troops"
Han Yanzhi is the minister of the Ministry of War, but because he has been stationed in Jiankang, the Ministry of War is actually managed by Lu Zongzhi, a servant, but anyway, he is also a superior of Lu Zongzhi, so he opened his mouth, and Lu Zongzhi can't refute it.
It took a lot of effort to give half an hour more, and the back and forth add up to only one hour.
After Zhu Taishou held his fist helplessly and saluted, he quickly stepped out.
Those troublers have gathered in front of the government office for many days. If they were willing to leave obediently, they would have left long ago. Now I only have one hour. Can you persuade them to leave?
We can only do our best.
After Han Yanzhi waited for Zhu Taishou to leave, he immediately ordered the whole city to be under martial law. No one was allowed to stay on the street. When the people went home, all shops must also be closed. Violators must be locked on the spot.
In fact, Zhu Taishou is still taking it for granted. These Buddhist believers may not have many ideas at the beginning, but once others take the lead in attacking the government office, their ideas and the nature of the whole event will change.
The law is unscrupulous and blindly obeying, which is the best portrayal of these people.
Under the impact of these people, the government government has become a mess at this time. If it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the army, the situation might have developed to what extent.
However, I heard that after the army surrounded the whole city, some smart people have quietly slipped away, but even so, there are still 500 or 600 people gathered in the government office, among which, in addition to real Buddhist believers and monks, there are also some ruffians who fish with muddy water.
Zhu Taishou was escorted to the government office by soldiers, and he was also afraid of being detained.
When I saw an official coming, the person who made trouble suddenly shouted again.
"Return the temple property and don't bully the Buddhist temple anymore..." Wait for the sound to shout in the crowd from time to time.
Zhu Taishou stood on a stone under the protection of the soldiers, pressed the noisy crowd with both hands, and shouted loudly, "My folks, listen to my words and go back!" I will truthfully report your appeal to Your Majesty. Please go back! They are all fellow villagers in Yangzhou, and I will not harm you..."
Although Zhu Taishou shouted hoarsely, those who stayed behind were all middlemen who made trouble, so he would leave like this?
"No, the court will not return the temple property, and if the emperor does not issue an order not to interfere in the temple affairs from now on, we will not leave..."
After listening to Zhu Taishou's words, the crowd roared again, and some of them even openly insulted the emperor as a faint king.
Zhu Taishou knew it was over as soon as he heard it. He made other mistakes. Maybe he can forgive and insult the emperor. Isn't this just looking for death?
The captain who protected Zhu Taishou couldn't help saying, "Your Excellency, let's go! You have tried your best"
Zhu Taishou couldn't help laughing bitterly. Before he could speak, there was a neat sound of footsteps running around.
"Oh, Oh..."
The footsteps were accompanied by the sound of the collision of armor, which soon covered the noisy voices. Just as the noisy crowd looked around, Zhu Taishou was also quickly taken away by the soldiers.
In a little time, the 3,000 armored army surrounded the noisy crowd. Behind the giant shield, there was a pair of cold faces, and a shining spear protrude through the cracks of the shield.
It can be imagine that even if there is no need to rush, as long as the soldiers step forward together, they can string these troublers into sugar-coated haws.
Seeing this scene, the noisy crowd suddenly calmed down. While looking at the officers and soldiers in horror, they couldn't help retreating.
"Tss!"
With a broken cry, it suddenly came out of the soldiers. With this order, countless spears flew out of the soldiers' hands and raindrops on the crowd.
"Ah..."
As the spear fell, screams sounded one after another in the crowd.
After the first round of spears, there are not many people who can stand. After all, there are only hundreds of them alive. Some of them run to the government office one after another, and some even kneel down and beg for mercy.
"In!"
Another break, and the soldiers slowly pressed towards the remaining crowd with spears.
This is a massacre without any suspense. With the advance of the soldiers, no life can survive, and even those who fall to the ground will be replaced with a spear.
The killing lasted for a short time, after all, this group is just a group of people.
After killing all the troubles who hid in the government office, the soldiers retreated like a tide under the leadership of the generals, and then waited for the soldiers on the periphery to come and put all the bodies into sealed carriages, one by one to drive out of the city. As for pulling there, no one knows.
After the bodies were cleaned up, another group of soldiers drove carts full of water to the scene of the massacre and began to clean up carefully.
Soon, the street was washed clean, and even the damaged government gate was reinstalled, and everything was restored to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
With Lu Qiang's thunderous handling of this matter, there has been no disturbance by Buddhist believers everywhere.
In fact, it's not that no one wants to make trouble, but the garrisons everywhere have learned from Xu Wei and sent troops to put the monks under house arrest under the pretext of protecting the monks.
Subsequently, the government took the opportunity to inspect the temple property, and the land was returned to the public, and then redistributed it to the people. In addition to the real monks, those who ate and drank in the temple were directly cleaned up. The grain the monks hoarded, leaving part of it for them to live, and the rest was also put into storage.
This alone has added millions of grains to the imperial court, which can only be seen.
There is no resistance, but under the division and rule of the imperial court, there is no storm at all. However, Lu Qiang's move also made him completely offend Buddhism.
