Chapter 32 Deep meaning
The Jinzhang felt that there was little chance of invading the capital. So after plundering the suburbs of Beijing, he led his army eastward to attack Luanping, Yongning and other places with weak defense, and conquered several cities. In February, the Jinzhang left some troops to guard Yongning, Zunhua and other places, and led a large army to withdraw from the pass, bringing the robbed wealth, population and materials back to the grassland.
The same thing is a common result for both sides.
In Liaodong, if you have made contributions to the king, everyone will be rewarded. There is no need to say much. If you are not good at defending the border in Yanzhou, you will be punished.
Yin Zhengxin received news that Governor Youyan had been taken down by Qingluan Guards from the capital and taken to the capital.
The governor, governor, supervisor, commander, general under the governor, were in panic, fearing that the next one would be himself.
Yin Zhengxin had to make corresponding preparations in advance. If Qingluan Guard came to take him, he would have to abandon his official position and turn to the ground.
In fact, Yin Zhengxin asked himself, and did his duty. With the help of the official army at hand and the Taiping Cult, he blocked more than a thousand golden cavalry and guarded the pass of his responsibility. There was no dereliction of duty. It was just that the so-called heart of heaven was unpredictable. Who knew what the emperor thought? Chess players like Qi Xuansu didn't know. After all, the emperor had a real fortune, and Qi Xuansu couldn't see through it.
Moreover, the backlash of heaven always comes inadvertently, and this variable is also difficult to grasp.
Fortunately, this change finally developed in a favorable direction in Qi Xuansu.
About half a month later, the results came.
The governor was beheaded and his house was confiscated. The governor was dismissed from office and imprisoned and handed over to the three judicial departments for crimes. The governor was dismissed, and the commander was demoted three levels in a row. The other senior officials were also punished, either demoted or fined their salary, which was the worst.
However, Yin Zhengxin was only a fourth-rank right senator. He did not pass the threshold of the third-rank and could not be considered a high-ranking official. In the end, Yin Zhengxin was not punished this time, but was promoted to the left senator from the third-rank for his loyalty to his duties and his contribution to defense. He was still responsible for military affairs, but his power was greater than that of the senator, and he was also above the prefect, and he could even lead troops to fight in person.
The original Left Consortium served as the Censor, and the former Censor temporarily served as the governor. This is naturally a great thing in normal times, but in this situation, it is unpredictable. Maybe one day we will follow the footsteps of our predecessor. So what if we say a governor, what if we end up with a tragic defeat of one sword or two.
The new governor was inevitably thinking in his heart. Not only did he not have the spirit of being promoted, but he even saved the three troubles of the new official's appointment. He even had some unintentional government affairs, and many of the matters were done by Yin Zhengxin.
Qi Xuansu is the real person in charge of the Yididao Mansion, and he is also the Dao Mansion, so he naturally takes it at will, and at the same time he also takes this opportunity to expand the Taiping Sect.
The Jin Tent went south this time, causing great damage, and siege was the second to attack the cities and villages. The key was burning, killing, looting, causing a large number of people to be killed and injured, and refugees everywhere. There were also many scattered soldiers and even deserters who were scattered by the Jin Tent army, who simply became bandits and became bandits.
However, the imperial court's military and political systems at all levels in Yanzhou were beaten to pieces and could not take care of themselves, so naturally they could not care about these things.
There is no vacuum in power, and the court does not fill it, but it has its own clan members or association sects to fill it.
What Qi Xuansu had to do was to gather refugees and make them a Taoist citizen, and at the same time recruit those scattered soldiers and make them a ghost soldier.
To be fair, the people are good people, and these soldiers are good at fighting, but the imperial court exploited too much, and they were owed money and treated them like grass, and were divided into trouble, which made the gold tent look bad.
As for the corruption of the court, the laws of history, the helplessness of human nature, the rigidity of the system, etc., it is all cliché and there is no need to talk about it.
Yin Zhengxin, as the left-ranking political officer, performed the duties of the governor, stabilized the situation, calmed the people's hearts, and also concealed the expansion of the Taiping Church.
Even if some people notice it, they are easily suppressed by Yin Zhengxin. This is the benefit of the official body.
This is also a coincidence.
If Yin Zhengxin is really put in Jiangnan, no matter whether it is to form associations or local governors, he will not be able to avoid the White Lotus Sect. It is the essence of the Confucian school, and it is not easy to occupy Jiangnan.
Originally, Yanzhou was under the nose of the capital, so he was naturally restrained everywhere, but who would have thought that the golden tent could be defeated all the way to the capital, thus opening up the situation.
After this incident, the Taiping Cult directly expanded to more than 100,000 Taoist citizens, more than 50 people, nearly 1,000 ghost soldiers, more than 300 ghost commanders, and four people in the head of the head.
At this time, Qi Xuansu deeply felt that talent was rare. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get one general.
Although Lu Yunshan has cultivated a lot of backbone forces, it is still too few and too slow compared to the rapidly expanding Taiping Sect.
However, when the power develops to a certain extent, it can also condense luck.
When Yin Zhengxin left the capital, his luck was nothing more than a mixed-caffold loach. Now it is a big python, not far from Huaqiu.
According to the laws of this world, if the fortune grows stronger, it will naturally attract some strange people who can look at the qi.
Soon, many people from all walks of life came to join us.
After all, the Taiping Sect is considered half a force in the martial arts world, but it is considered by the righteous Buddhists and Taoism to be the Demon Sect and the extremely mysterious master is like the leader of the Demon Sect who is disgusted by everyone in the martial arts world. Because the Taiping Sect and the White Lotus Sect form an alliance, echoing from one south to another, the Great Sect and the leader of the White Lotus Sect are called the two major demons in the martial arts world.
But who would have thought that the great wise and good teachers were appointed by the court. They went to Yanzhou Cheng to announce that the Minister of Political Affairs would participate in politics. They would not go to seclusion and practice martial arts all day long, but buried their heads in the documents. After working for more than ten years, it would be possible to be a governor and governor. It was really a big vague thing in the court.
Among these people in the martial arts world, there is a down-and-out and frustrated man named Song Guanying. He practiced martial arts so hard. Judging from his aptitude, he clearly took the literary path, but he was slightly inferior to Lu Yunshan. As a result, he accidentally entered the martial arts path and was depressed and unsuccessful.
Qi Xuansu appointed Song Guanying as a priest and asked him to follow Lu Yunshan for some time.
Qin Lingge was in Liaodong and naturally noticed the Taiping Sect, which was close to him, but he didn't take it too much. In his opinion, it was full of mobs, and the citron that stood out was rotten first. This kind of association was used to disrupt the world and others who were dealing with the world were just to open the way for the True King.
Liaodong is not afraid that Taiping Sect can affect itself. After all, there is a Yu Pass between them, which is the first pass in the world.
In Qin Lingge's view, there is only one real enemy, that is Qi Xuansu.
Previously, he believed that Zhao Yan was Qi Xuansu's chess piece, and Zhao Yan first became an official in the capital, and then placed him in Qiantang Prefecture as the prefect, which was the territory of the White Lotus Sect. Qin Lingge suspected that the White Lotus Sect was Qi Xuansu's work.
In this way, the White Lotus Sect is a major concern, and the Taiping Sect is not a disease of tinea scabies.
Qin Lingge learned about the movements in the world. After careful consideration, he used the connections between Qin and Li families to secretly promote a major event in the world, that is, the eight major sects besiege the White Lotus Sect and are about to eliminate the cancer of the Demon Sect.
The eight major sects are not ordinary people. They are local tyrants and powerful force. If they are united, they will be a great force. Although the White Lotus Sect has hundreds of thousands of believers, if the core senior leaders are beheaded, they will collapse in an instant.
This is a bad move. The idea is right, but the goal is wrong.
If you get the wrong direction, the more correct the method, the more wrong the result.
Many people watching chess smiled.
"Qin Lingge's cleverness was mistaken for being smart."
"The little master finally got the situation back."
"But the Qin family in the book has been integrating their troops and martial arts over the years, and it is obvious that they are competing for the Central Plains. The Liaodong iron cavalry occupies the tiger and watch the world, just like the old story of Changsheng Dazhen people back then. Once the Liaodong iron cavalry knocks on the pass and goes south, they rely on tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and not even a few horses. I am afraid they are not an enemy of one unit. In my opinion, they still have to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and rely on the natural dangers of the river..."
"If you can't defend the river, you must guard the Huai River. If you can't defend the Jianghuai River, you will not be able to raise everything. The river is thousands of miles long, like a snake in Changshan. If you prepare for the front, there will be fewer behind, and if you prepare for the back, there will be fewer in front. If you prepare for the back, there will be fewer in front. If you prepare for the back, there will be fewer in front. How can you defend it? Furthermore, it is more peaceful to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River."
"Brother Dao said this very well. The Han and the thieves are not in harmony and the king's life is not biased. How can we retreat?"
There are also many powerful masters in the hall who do not speak rashly, but observe the expressions of the Grand Master and Zi Ji Da Zhenren, thinking about something.
Is this chessboard deduction an assumption of three wars?
It’s a pity that neither the Grand Master nor the Zi Ji Da Real Person would show any thoughts on his face, just watched the chess game quietly.
At this moment, another person came to the Huizhen Palace, wearing a purple lotus crown, which was dressed by Pingzhang Dazhen.
When many real people watching the battle saw this person, they saluted and called "Qi Da Zhenren".
The person who came was Wu Niang. She was delayed for a while because of something, so she came late.
Xiao Yin was bored. When he saw Wu Niang coming, he immediately jumped into Wu Niang's arms.
Wu Niang picked up Xiao Yin casually, but her eyes looked at the chess game, with a serious expression.
Obviously, Wu Niang was not here to join in the fun or watch the fun. She attached great importance to this chess game.
However, Wu Niang is not worried about the country and the people, she is not afraid of going to war three times, and she has not experienced internal strife in Taoist sects, so it is obvious that she cares about Qi Xuansu.
As for why you pay attention to it, only Wu Niang herself knows it.
Don’t forget that if you have the qualifications, Wu Niang is older than anyone else. She has seen Xuan Sheng and Xu Zu, and has fought with the two of them. Before that, she has lived in Kunlun Cave Heaven for many years, dealing with Lu Wushen, and also met the Kaiming Six Witches. The secrets Wu Niang knows are beyond comparison - even Yao Zu can’t compare. When Wu Niang followed Lu Wushen to fight Kaiming Six Witches, Wu Xian was still sleeping in the Netherworld Valley.
