Chapter 4 The bright moon shines on Junshan
Yuezhou, also called Baling County, governed the counties along Dongting Lake, which became Yueyang in later generations.
Junshan is located in Qingcao Lake, 30 miles west of Baling County. It is a small island in the 800-mile Dongting Lake. It is far away from Yueyang Tower. It is composed of 72 peaks. The island has towering ancient trees, bamboo forests, and beautiful scenery.
, is one of the seventy-two blessed places of Taoism.
The date of the Beggar Clan Conference is approaching, and the Five Pockets of the Beggar Clan come in an endless stream from all over the country and gather around Baling County. The Five Pockets usually hold the position of incense master in various places, and can be regarded as the little boss of the Beggar Clan.
, has the right to participate in the resolution of major affairs within the gang, and is also the executor of the Beggar Gang responsible for specific affairs in various parts of the Central Plains.
His Majesty the Emperor is among these beggar gangs. He is not inquiring about information, but spreading information.
"Brother, have you heard?" Yang Kang mysteriously said to a beggar gang leader, "Our Captain Lu has made great achievements in Mongolia. The Mongolian Emperor has rewarded Captain Lu with many gold and silver treasures, as well as
There are dozens of women, and it is said that Elder Lu has had more than a dozen children in Mongolia in recent years, and none of those children look like us Central Plains people."
"Brother, I heard that Captain Lu peeped at women taking baths when he was six years old, went to a brothel to have fun when he was eight years old, and had a bunch of children at the age of twelve..."
"Do you know why Leader Lu was driven to Mobei by Gang Leader Hong in the first place? It wasn't because he wanted to assassinate Gang Leader Hong..."
"Master Lu accepted the benefits from the Mongolian emperor, and then he tried his best to encourage the Song Dynasty to raise troops. But now it's bad, the Mongols are unfaithful and withdrew their troops. In the end, it is not our Song country that is unlucky, but Master Lu's wife and children."
A lot of them, but our beggar gang didn’t die in vain..."
Similar rumors slowly spread around Baling County. This was not due to His Majesty the Emperor alone, but also to other members of the Iron Palm Gang who had mixed up with the Beggar Gang. These rumors first spread among the Jingyi Sect, and then spread.
When it came to the Dirty Clothes Sect, in order to maintain Lu Youjiao's reputation, the leaders of the Dirty Clothes Sect started to argue with the leaders of the Pure Clothes Sect, which led to the increasingly intensified conflicts between the leaders of the two factions.
As the saying goes, as long as Lu Youjiao's reputation is destroyed, Mu Nianci's chances of being elected as gang leader will greatly increase.
His Majesty the Emperor must be polite before fighting. If Nian Ci becomes the leader of the Beggar Gang, everything will be easy. If Lu Youjiao becomes the leader of the Beggar Gang, then we will have to eradicate the Beggar Gang. Yang Kang comes from a ** society. In a ** society, before every election,
There will be all kinds of real-name reports and anonymous letters, and they will go to any lengths to suppress and frame opponents.
For example, before choosing a monitor in middle school, some students will report to the teacher that someone cheated on an exam...
This not only vilified Lu Youjiao, but also deepened the conflict between the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect. The leader of the Pure Clothes Sect also did not believe these rumors, but the Beggar Clan's branch in Mobei was established by Lu Youjiao.
Those who got up, there are all dirty clothes gangs, no one knows if there is something fishy inside, the beggar gang helps the Mongols fight the war, I think the Mongolian emperor should be rewarded, but where are those rewards?
In fact, Lu Youjiao did not accept Temujin's reward, but who would believe this? In addition, the Mongols withdrew their troops without permission, which led to the Song and Jin Dynasties signing the humiliating "Baoying Collaborative Agreement", which allowed the Beggar Clan to take over, especially
It was the Jingyi Sect who were extremely dissatisfied with the Mongols. His Majesty the Emperor undoubtedly grasped the crux of the problem. These rumors wiped out Lu Youjiao's achievements in Mobei in recent years.
Therefore, under the leadership and fueling of Yang Kang, the voices of the Pure Clothes Sect leaders against Lu Youjiao became louder and louder, and some Dirty Clothes Sect leaders were also a little shaken. Lu Youjiao had been in Mobei and the Central Plains area in recent years.
There wasn't much communication between the incense owners. These incense owners from the dirty clothes sect only supported Lu Youjiao because of Li Sheng's face.
Under this strange situation, the Beggar Clan Junshan Conference was held as scheduled.
On the top of Junshan Mountain, on the Xuanyuan Platform, a bright moon hangs high.
Under the Xuanyuan Stage, hundreds of beggars were sitting on the ground. Several elders of the Beggar Clan stood on the stage. Elder Liang of the Jingyi Sect presided over the meeting. When he said that Hong Gang leader was killed by the Annihilation and unfortunately passed away, hundreds of beggars below
They cried loudly, the situation was tragic, and some even grabbed the ground with their heads.
His Majesty the Emperor mingled among them, pretending to cry a few times. He observed carefully and couldn't help feeling that the Beggar Gang was indeed the largest gang in the world. There were three to four hundred of them with just five bags of gunpowder. Suppose an incense master had a thousand men.
The number of beggars is 300,000 or 400,000. This number is a bit exaggerated. However, it is roughly estimated that the number of beggars is over 150,000. This is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Fortunately, these beggar gangs are usually scattered throughout the Central Plains and have no intention of gathering on a large scale. Otherwise, neither the Song Kingdom nor the Jin Kingdom would tolerate it.
These incense masters sit separately according to the Pure Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect. It can be seen at a glance that the Pure Clothes Sect is a minority sect in the Beggar Clan, with only more than a hundred incense masters. The main body of the Beggar Clan is still the Dirty Clothes Sect**.
This is also easy to understand. The Beggars Gang is a beggar organization after all, and the Jingyi Sect is not beggars in the strict sense. This makes His Majesty the Emperor a little worried about the subsequent election.
Yang Kang was able to come to Xuanyuan Terrace because he borrowed the identity of a Beggar Clan five-bag woman. He had been hanging around among the Beggar Clan women these days. He found a Beggar Clan incense master who was similar in stature to him, so he asked Peng Lianhu
After knocking him unconscious, he extracted this person's identity information. These incense owners are usually scattered in various places. Except for this kind of beggars' gathering, they rarely have the opportunity to meet each other. They are not familiar with each other. Even if they know their names, they can't recognize their faces.
Like His Majesty the Emperor, there are also several Iron Palm Gang masters who have sneaked in. This is to prepare for causing chaos later. This is undoubtedly very dangerous. Once discovered by the Beggar Gang, they will definitely be beaten to death with sticks. Okay.
In Yangkang, these Iron Palm Gang masters were given surprise training to let them understand the rules of the Beggar Gang.
After hundreds of beggar gangsters finished expressing their nostalgia for Hong Qigong, Elder Liang continued to preside over the meeting.
"We, the Beggar Clan, will never let go of the Western Poison Ouyang Feng who killed Gang Leader Hong, but our first priority is to elect a new Gang Leader so that we can lead the gang and avenge the old Gang Leader." Elder Liang comforted him.
He said, "According to the gang rules, if the old gang leader has a will, it must be decided according to the old gang leader's will. If there is no testament, it will be jointly recommended by the four elders of the gang. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the gang.
Brothers, yes or no?"
The beggars below claimed that they were, holding their breath and waiting for Elder Liang to announce the choice of the new gang leader.
"However, news came from the senior monks of Tianlong Temple in Dali that the old gang leader had not died, and Elder Li and Elder Peng had also passed away. The four elders could not gather together. As a result, we had to invite brothers from all walks of life to come here to discuss together and choose a leader.
Here comes a new gang leader who can lead this gang." Elder Liang said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, hundreds of beggars under the Xuanyuan stage started talking about the candidate they had in mind.
"I agree with Leader Lu being the new gang leader."
"I choose Elder Liang."
"I'm optimistic about Captain Mu."
"..."
"Master Lu, I heard that our branch in Mobei was rewarded by the Mongolian emperor. Where did those rewards go? I also heard that the Mongols gave Master Lu benefits, which made Master Lu willingly work for the Mongols.
