Chapter 31: The number of days changes
Although Qi Xuansu now only has more than a hundred Yellow Turban Army soldiers, he would rather be insignificant than to be abusive. These are the elites among the elites and are trained as officers and are the skeleton of the future Yellow Turban Army. When the time comes and the team expands, these more than a hundred people can become the backbone of the grassroots level. Each person's talent is enough to be a centurion, and a team of more than a hundred people will immediately have more than ten thousand elite soldiers.
There are several benefits to doing this.
First, it is easy to hide in normal times to avoid attracting the attention of the court. Second, it can save money. After all, full-time soldiers spend too much money, and the Taiping Cult's finances are very tight and cannot afford to support them. Therefore, they can only build an infrastructure first, and then fill in the framework with manpower and weapons before the battle, and achieve rapid expansion.
The Taoist priests of the Taiping Sect are essentially reserved for the civil service system. They preach in daily life, are responsible for logistics and staff during wartime, and govern local governments after the war.
Qi Xuansu established the preliminary hierarchy of Taoist priests. Those who entered Taoism were originally called "Daomin"; those who had been in Taoism for a long time and believed in their religion were called "Jijiu" and were appointed as the position of governing Taoism; those who led the Taoism were called "Zhitou Dajiu". The highest class was called "Shijun".
It is said that the fundamental reason for the struggle between Zhang and Li lies in the battle for the throne. The Zhang family and Li family both considered themselves to be the orthodox Taoist sect. Needless to say, the Li family has the same surname as the Taishang Taoist sect, and they will always be called the Great Saint Ancestor. Why did the Zhang family claim to be orthodox? It is because the earliest Taoist sects were all from the Zhang family.
According to the records of the Confucian Sect, the demons and thieves were great, and the three servants had Luo Yu. In the middle of Guanghe, there was Zhang Jiao in the east, and in the middle of Han. Luo Yu taught the people to conceal the Dharma. The Jiao was the Taiping Road, and the cultivation was the Five Doks of Rice Road.
In other words, while Zhang Jiao spreads the Taiping Road, Zhang Xiu is also spreading the Five Doks of Rice Road.
Some people may say that the Tao of Heavenly Master is the Tao of Five Dogs of Rice - because both of them are the founders of the Tao of Heavenly Master, of course it is the same thing.
In fact, the Zu Tianshi only created the Heavenly Master Dao, and Zhang Xiu created the Five Dogs of Rice Dao. In the end, Zhang Xiu was defeated and was captured by the Tianshi Master's Dao of Five Dogs of Rice Dao and incorporated into the Heavenly Master Dao.
People at that time said: I suspect that the laws of Lu are all followed by all practices, but I do not want to follow the path, so I entrusted my father and ancestors to me.
To put it bluntly, the Tianshi took away Zhang Xiu's Taoist tradition. He was afraid that the world would discuss it, so he pretended to be the name of his father and ancestor, saying that Si Tianshi and Zu Tianshi had opened up the Five Doks of Rice Path to erase Zhang Xiu's existence and confuse the public.
These three major Taoist dynasties are all surnamed Zhang, and they seem to have friendship. Among them, the Tianshidao and the Five Doks of Rice Dao finally returned to the Zhang family in Yunjinshan and evolved into the Zhengyi Dao. The Taiping Dao had ups and downs and finally returned to the Li family, but the Taiping Dao Zhang family did not perish. Now, the Zhang Zhenren of Taiping Dao is a descendant of a serious and virtuous teacher.
So the Zhang family is very confident. Two of the three paths come from our Zhang family. I opened up the Taoist situation. My Zhang family is not orthodox. Who is orthodox? Anyway, both sides have not given up on each other and there has been no conclusion for so many years. The only thing that is certain is that the Yao family is not qualified to fight. The Yao family belongs to the royal family of the previous dynasty. It is lucky enough to not be liquidated. Do you dare to fight for the throne?
The system used by Qi Xuansu did not come from Taiping Dao, but was created by the Tianshi Tao after the Tianshi Tao merged with the Five Doks of Rice Dao. At the same time, twenty-four missionary points were set up, called the Twenty-Four Governance, centered on "Yangping Zhi" which is the origin of the name of the Zhengyi Dao leader's token, "Yangping Zhi Du Gong Seal".
Those who watch chess are all senior officials of the Taoist sect, all of whom are familiar with Taoist classics and are familiar with the various secret allusions of the sect, and some people have already seen it.
"The little master takes Qiongming County as the center and is spread all over the surrounding twenty-three counties, just in the 24th count. This is the twenty-four governance, which is interesting."
"Although it is called Taiping Sect, it is the one made by the Tianshi Sect in its core. It is from Zhengyidao."
"The Taiping Tao is the surface, the righteous Tao is the bone, and both the inside and the inside are used, and the strengths of the Zhang and Li families are all obtained."
"I don't know what kind of mood will the Taiping Road feel when seeing this."
Qi Xuansu integrated and improved these two systems. The great wise and good teachers were the highest, and they divided them into two systems: the civil and military officials: the Shijun, the Zhitou Dashengjiu, the Taoist, and the military officials were: the Three Duke Generals, Generals, Ghost Commanders, and Ghost Soldiers.
In the early stage of entrepreneurship, avoid making the hierarchy system too complicated, the simpler the better.
The more than a hundred Yellow Turban Army soldiers are at the first level of the ghost commander, while the more than a dozen Taoist priests are at the first level of the wine priest.
This time, in order to deal with the White Lotus Sect, Qi Xuansu not only handed over the "Nine-Section Staff" to Lu Yunshan, but also specially allocated five priests and nineteen ghost coaches to boost his momentum.
Lu Yunshan lived up to his expectations and indeed suppressed the messenger of the White Lotus Sect.
First, because the Taiping Sect is not a mob at first glance, but a big thing. Second, because Lu Yunshan is really capable, and has its own deterrence between his words and deeds, and is very comparable to people. Third, the "Nine-section Scepter" in Lu Yunshan's hand, who can really cast magic, and in this world suppressed by dragon energy, he is already comparable to an immortal object.
The messenger of the White Lotus Sect was very flexible and directly changed his words to become an ally with the Taiping Sect.
Anyway, the territory of the two sides does not conflict. They develop and accumulate strength. When the uprising is uprising, they will respond from afar and work together to overthrow this corrupt Wei Dynasty.
Just like the Five Doks of Rice and Taiping Road back then.
As for what to do after the overthrow, we will naturally not mention it for now.
Lu Yunshan agreed immediately, and the Taiping Sect and the White Lotus Sect officially formed strategic partners.
Afterwards, Yin Zhengxin and Lu Yunshan secretly discussed, believing that most of the members of the White Lotus Sect are from poor people and are similar to those of the Taiping Sect. If you have the opportunity, you can annex the White Lotus Sect, which can bring the Taiping Sect to a great level.
After the White Lotus Sect incident passed, the opportunity that Qi Xuansu was waiting for came.
The army of golden tents invaded the border in a large number.
As the right senator in charge of military affairs, Yin Zhengxin should focus on major national affairs. The Taiping Cult was handed over to Lu Yunshan to organize the religious people to avoid wars and prevent bandits.
Xiao Yin claimed to be a long-time general on the battlefield and a military master. Qi Xuansu dared not speak as much as Xiao Yin, but he was also a man who knew about military affairs. At the end of the war in the Western Regions, he was just a small man; during the war in Fenglinzhou, he served as Zanhua under the tent of Zhenren Qingwei; during the war in the new continent, he and Huangfu Ji presided over the intelligence front and used a side division to lure the tiger away from the mountain; when the conflict between Dazun, he was already one of the three highest leaders, leading the army alone.
If there is a chance, Qi Xuansu may be able to take charge of the overall situation and become the commander of the first army.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu was very comfortable in handling these military affairs and was relied on by the governors. Even the governors of this state had heard of them.
In fact, over the years, the Great Wei Dynasty has been corrupt, and the golden tent has been repeatedly warned. For the position of the Khan, there have been constant disputes, and it is no longer the golden tent of the past. In the past, the past few days of going south were just white disasters on the grassland, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death. They had to go south to fight the grass valley. If you really want to say how strong the combat power is, it will not be. As long as you deal with it properly, there should be no big problem.
However, in response to the saying, the number of days changes, the artifacts are easier, and they return to those with virtue.
This world must not be handed over to people without virtue.
As for the current Emperor Yongli of the Great Wei Dynasty, whether it is virtuous or not, it is probably a matter of opinion for the bureaucrats of the Great Wei court.
Qi Xuansu didn't realize it at first, but just acted as usual. However, this time the golden tent went south, it was extremely fierce, far better than before. He broke into the pass from Longjing Pass, Hongshankou, and Da'ankou, and rushed directly into Zunhua Prefecture, and the capital was shocked.
Under such circumstances, the Wei court had to mobilize troops from all over the world to Beijing to serve the king. When the soldiers and horses rushed outside the city, they did not dare to open the city gate and stationed outside the city. In the end, the army of the kings and soldiers went to war with the Jinguan army without rest, and suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, the Liaodong cavalry entered the pass to rescue, successfully repelled the Jinguan army, and lifted the siege of the capital.
However, the relationship between the Emperor of the Great Wei and the King of the King of the Different Family in Liaodong has always been subtle. The Qin family in Liaodong was obedient to the tune and not the King of the Different Family. If it were not forbidden, the emperor would not seek help from the King of the Different Family. This time, the Qin family sent troops, and various rewards afterwards were naturally indispensable, which made the Qin family, which was already in a difficult situation, even bigger.
Li Zhixing was also involved. Now Li Zhixing is already a military officer in the Governor's Office. This time he followed the Liaodong cavalry to serve the king, and even killed several people in person, making great contributions.
