Chapter 105 Dead Without Evidence
Lu Wenjun returned to the Fenghun Valley with Li Chengyu, the head of Guluo Hall. In addition to Li Chengyu, there are also more than a dozen followers of Kaicheng Valley Luotang.
Lu Wenjun lied that Zhou Charter and others killed the commander Park Zhengxiong and hijacked Jin Shu in Kaesong. He escaped with the help of Guluotang. Lu Wenjun demanded to immediately kill the Qing soldiers imprisoned in the soul cave and avenge Park Zhengxiong.
When the Dongxue cult heard that Park Zhengxiong had been killed, they were furious and strongly demanded that the lord order the more than 100 Qing soldiers be executed.
However, Cui Shiheng disagreed. Cui Shiheng's reason is that North Korea is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and Dongxuejiao is also a legal church recognized by the imperial court. If Dongxuejiao kills Qing soldiers, it is bound to make the imperial court feud with the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Wenjun immediately showed the imperial edict of the Korean emperor.
In the past, as a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, the supreme ruler of North Korea was called the king. Now, North Korea declared independence and nominally became an independent country. Gaozong Lixi called himself emperor, and North Korea changed its name to the Korean Empire. The emperor's order is called an imperial edict.
The content of the edict is to declare North Korea's independence and change its name to the Korean Empire. Dongxuejiao was required to unite closely around Emperor Li Xi, fight side by side with the Japanese army and expel the Qing army.
This edict caused an uproar in Dongxue. Wave. Most of the congregation demanded to refuse the edict. They believed that it was acceptable to expel the Qing army to achieve North Korea's independence, but they refused to cooperate with the Japanese.
The strongest opposition is the commander Zheng Shixiong, and Han Lingzhun also expressed his opposition. Cui Shiheng, the head priest, did not make a clear statement, but everyone could see that he attached great importance to Zheng Shixiong's opinions. Lu Wenjun and Li Chengyu expressed their determination to the edict.
The two sides argued for a day and didn't get a result. Cui Shiheng announced that he would discuss it again the next day.
The next day, Feng Guozhang and Jin Shu returned to the Soul Valley with Jin Yujun's head.
The arrival of Jin Shu and Feng Guozhang has complicated the quarrel within Dongxuejiao.
Originally, the congregation had no objection to the expulsion of the Qing army, and everyone debated whether to cooperate with the Japanese army. However, Jin Shu proved that Zhou Charter helped her regain Jin Yujun's head, and she accused Lu Wenjun of being a Japanese spy, colluding with the Japanese in Kaicheng, killing Park Zhengxiong, and handing over Jin Shu to the Japanese.
In this way, many congregations believe that they can't break with the Qing army, at least not with Zhou Charter. The first of the teachings of Eastern Studies is "faith".
Everyone will be suspicious of Jin Shu's accusation that Lu Wenjun was a spy for the Japanese. Anyway, Lu Wenjun is a military teacher of Dongxue and a spy for the Japanese, which is really incredible. Moreover, Jin Shu couldn't provide any evidence, and she herself did not see Lu Wenjun colluding with the Japanese.
The Dongxue religious people could not compete for the results. Cui Shiheng was unable to make a decision for a moment, so he had to announce that he would temporarily stop the debate and bury the remains of Jin Yujun first.
Under the auspices of Cui Shiheng, Dongxuejiao held a solemn funeral for Jin Yujun in Fenghun Valley according to the specifications of the patriarch. The whole religion held filial piety and notified all directions. Moreover, according to Cui Shiheng's request, the notice issued by Dongxue Education detailed the whole process of Zhou Charter, a righteous man of the Qing Dynasty, helping Jin Shu seize the remains of Jin Yujun.
The burial of Kim Yujun by Dongxue soon spread throughout North Korea, which made the Korean court very embarrassed and annoyed the Japanese. The Japanese plan to bury Jin Yujun in Japan was completely bankrupt.
With the announcement of Dongxuejiao, the name of the righteous Zhou Charter also spread throughout North Korea.
In this case, Lu Wenjun can't kill the more than 100 Qing soldiers.
However, Lu Wenjun still insists that Zhou Charter killed Park Zhengxiong.
The congregation is also extremely contradictory. According to Lu Wenjun, Zhou Charter is the murderer of Park Zhengxiong, and according to Jin Shu, Zhou Charter is also a righteous man who robbed the remains. Lu Wenjun is a military teacher and Jin Shu is the daughter of Jin Yujun. No one should lie, but anyone may lie.
At a time when everyone was at a loss, Cui Shiheng, the leader, died suddenly and died suddenly, leaving a suicide note, passing on the position of the leader to the military master Lu Wenjun.
What's more strange is that on the night of the death of the master, the commander Zheng Shixiong and Jin Shu's mother and daughter disappeared.
Li Chengyu, the owner of Guluotang, and more than a dozen Guluotang congregation brought, surrounded Lu Wenjun and sat on the throne of the leader. Li Chengyu read Cui Shiheng's will on the spot and took the lead in kowtowing to Lu Wenjun.
Lu Wenjun has sat on the throne of the patriarch, and there is the will of the former patriarch. Li Chengyu is murderous. The congregation dare not disobey, so they have to kneel down one after another to show obedience.
Lu Wenjun immediately appointed Li Chengyu as the commander and was fully responsible for the daily affairs of Dongxue Education.
Under the auspices of Li Chengyu, the congregation hurriedly held a cremation for the former priest. In fact, no churchman saw Cui Shiheng's body, because at the cremation ceremony, Cui Shiheng's body was tightly wrapped in white cloth. Of course, this was also the rule of Dongxue's funeral, and everyone has no doubt about it.
Lu Wenjun became the leader and immediately announced that Dongxue was ordered by the Korean Emperor to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Li Chengyu immediately ordered the arrest of Feng Guozhang and put all the more than 100 Qing soldiers left by Zhou Charter to death row for immediate execution.
Left Guardian Han Lingjun objected to this. In the notice of the burial of Jin Yujun, Dongxuejiao has claimed that Zhou Charter is a righteous man. All North Koreans know that at this time, if the people of Zhou Charter are killed, Dongxuejiao will turn back on their back, how can they be trusted?
Lu Wenjun just became the leader, his heart was unstable, and it was inconvenient to fall out with Han Lingjun, and reluctantly agreed.
Soon, Ye Zhichao's Qing army retreated from Pyongyang and burned all the way. When the news came, Dongxuejiao was furious and demanded that the Qing army be robbed and avenged the North Korean people.
At the same time, Lu Wenjun was also instructed by Shenwei Shenguang to immediately send congregations to cooperate with the Japanese army's action in Pyongyang. Lu Wenjun immediately led the congregation out of the Soul Valley and marched to Pyongyang.
Originally, there were more than 2,000 religious people in Fenghun Valley, which was the backbone of Dongxue. Lu Wenjun issued an order along the way, asking local congregations to approach him, and local congregations responded one after another. Finally, Lu Wenjun gathered more than 5,000 people and held the banner of helping Han and destroy the Qing Dynasty, with great momentum.
Before the team arrived in Pyongyang, there was a report from the congregation from Yuanshan. A Qing army appeared near Yuanshan, led by the righteous Zhou Charter.
In fact, the Yuanshan congregation reported Zhou Charter's whereabouts to Lu Wenjun, and there was no malice. The name of the righteous Zhou Charter has now spread all over North Korea. The religious people in Yuanshan did not know that there was a route struggle in the Fenghun Valley. They thought that the Zhou Charter should be respected when the General Temple announced the righteousness of Zhou Charter to the world. Therefore, when they found that the Zhou Charter was in Yuanshan, they quickly reported to the master, hoping that the master could Treat each other politely.
Lu Wenjun was shocked to hear that Zhou Charter was in Yuanshan. He immediately led the congregation, turned around and went straight to Yuanshan.
Of course, Lu Wenjun does not want to treat Zhou Charter with courtesy. On the contrary, he wants to eliminate Zhou Charter - Zhou Charter is his great trouble.
Zhou Charter is not dead. Lu Wenjun's collusion with the Japanese to kill Park Zhengxiong will one day become public. More importantly, Zhou Charter has iron in his hands! That is a symbol of the status of the leader, a leader without iron, and the congregation is not convinced.
Lu Wenjun is determined to kill Zhou Charter and recapture Li Tie!
Lu Wenjun sent people to investigate the marching route of Zhou Charter's troops and knew that if Zhangzi Camp wanted to go to Pyongyang, it must pass through Hufeiling. Therefore, Lu Wenjun set up an ambush in Hufeiling and sent Li Chengyu to pretend to be a woodcutter and introduce Zhangzi Camp into the ambush circle.
Lu Wenjun also knew that with this group of rabbles under him, even if he occupies the right time, place and people, once he fights with Zhou Charter, he may not be able to take advantage of it. More importantly, he must kill Zhou Charter and take back Li Tie in one battle, and this goal seems difficult to achieve.
Zhou Charter may lose soldiers, but he is likely to slip away.
Therefore, Lu Wenjun secretly sent people to ask Shenwei Guangchen for help and asked Shenwei Guangchen to send a Japanese army to help Dongxueism eliminate Zhou Charter. In order to attract the attention of Shenwei Guangchen, Lu Wenjun lied that Jin Shu and Liu Ying were with Zhou Charter. He knew that Jin Shu and Liu Ying were the people to be arrested by Shenwei Guangchen.
Actually, what Lu Wenjun didn't know was that he didn't need to move Jin Shu and Liu Ying at all.
The name Zhou Charter is enough to encourage Shenwei Guangchen to send troops.
Now, the name Zhou Charter is not only well known to North Korea, but also thunderous in the ears of Yamagata, the commander of the Japanese army.
Shenwei Guangchen personally led a brigade of more than 1,000 Japanese troops from Kaesong and rushed to Yuanshan. However, there are more than 500 kilometers from Kaicheng to Yuanshan, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to reach for a while.
And Zhou Charter has progressed rapidly and has reached Hufei Mountain. Lu Wenjun has no choice but to take the congregation to act alone.
Fortunately, Lu Wenjun tied Feng Guozhang and more than 100 Qing soldiers as hostages. Zhou Charter took care of the safety of the hostages and did not dare to attack rashly.
Lu Wenjun originally wanted to catch Zhou Charter off guard, but his new master's prestige was insufficient. Zhou Charter was a righteous man in the minds of the religious community. Although the religious people guarding on the cliff prepared rolling wood and thunderstones, it seemed that they were passionate and hostile to the enemy, but if they really wanted to fight further, the congregation still couldn't do it.
As a result, Lu Wenjun spent a long time talking, which not only did not stimulate the fighting spirit of the congregation, but also woke up Zhou Charter - he held Li Tie in his hand and could compete for the position of leader.
In fact, if Lu Wenjun hadn't talked about Master Cui's ascension, Zhou Charter would have really forgotten the iron.
What's more troublesome is that Zhou Cha-ta said that Master Cui was "healthy" and clearly suspected that the cause of death was unknown, which was exactly a mental illness of Lu Wenjun.
The congregation also heard the voice of Zhou Charter, and saw that Zhou Charter held Li Tie and said that he wanted to be the leader. Many congregations immediately knelt down to Zhou Charter, and the congregation who did not kneel down were also full of suspicion.
Lu Wenjun shouted in his heart that he remembered something.
