Chapter 5 A wolf from the north
When Yang Kang was making arrangements to establish a new martial arts order in Jiaxing City, Guo Jing led the Beggar Gang leaders across the Yangtze River to the Beggar Gang branch in Baoying City, where they met with the leader of the Beggar Gang, Lu Youjiao. At the same time, Zhou Botong and Yin
Zhiping also came here, and the leader of the Beggar Clan and the leader of the Quanzhen Sect had an in-depth exchange of views on the current situation in the martial arts world. The focus was on the uproarous Heroes Conference.
They already know that this heroes conference has a background in the imperial court. The Beggar Clan and Quanzhen Sect have connections with important officials in the Song Dynasty court. However, the current situation is a bit delicate. Song Dynasty and Mongolia have completely broken apart. The Beggar Clan and Mongolia
The relationship between them was so close that thousands of members of the Beggar Gang were brutally murdered in the Song army camp. The war ministers of the Song Dynasty also gradually distanced themselves from the Beggar Gang and drew a clear line.
The Quanzhen Sect is facing the same problem. The Changchun Temple outside Lin'an Imperial City is quietly encroaching on the surrounding Taoist temples, absorbing the influence of other Taoist sects, and expanding in a low-key and rapid way. Behind this is the same
He had a background in the imperial court, but the ministers of the Song Dynasty often avoided seeing the agents sent by the Chongyang Palace.
All this only illustrates one problem, that is, the direction of the wind has changed.
The attitude of the Song Dynasty court towards the Beggar Gang and the Quanzhen Sect changed. This change was silent, but it can make people feel a biting chill. This is a feeling of being isolated, alienated, and exiled. A society
Once an organization cannot be accepted by mainstream society, it will eventually gradually decline until it dies.
As the attitude of the imperial court changed, the officials below began a series of investigations. Most of the Jingyi sect of the Beggar Clan were composed of martial arts tycoons and businessmen. These people could not withstand the exploitation of officials. At first, they thought it was accidental, but they
As the scale of the investigation expanded, they knew that this was a prelude to the court's plan to deal with the Beggar Gang.
The Taoist temples of the Quanzhen Religion are also included in the inventory, but they are much gentler. After all, Quanzhen Religion has followers all over the world, so it is not suitable to take too drastic measures. However, if official officials go looking for trouble when nothing happens, the Taoist temple will not be able to sustain it over time.
, the Quanzhen Sect's income mainly comes from rewards from the imperial court and the worship of believers. The Song Dynasty is rich and accounts for a huge proportion of its income. Without the support of the Song State, the Quanzhen Sect will lose at least half of its worship.
The Quanzhen Sect was in an equally difficult situation in the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Dynasty court adopted similar measures to the Song Dynasty. However, Shaanxi was the birthplace of the Quanzhen Sect. Officials in the Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to make big moves in Zhongnan Mountain for fear of provoking
The resistance of believers, unless it involves sending troops to encircle and suppress, is the last resort.
In short, the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Clan have fallen into an unprecedented crisis. They thought about it and found that it all started slowly after the Emperor of the Song Dynasty came to the throne. It is said that the current Emperor is a foolish king. Perhaps he listened to some annihilation laws.
The minister's slander led him to make such an unwise move, and the most likely candidate to annihilate the minister was Xie Yili, the political advisor.
Folk rumors say that Queen Xie listens to politics behind the curtain and Prime Minister Xie discusses politics in front of the court. The Xie family is the head of the Song Dynasty. The person who spreads such remarks must have ulterior motives, but it also shows that the Xie family has a pivotal position in the Song Dynasty. A generation of powerful officials
Shi Miyuan left sadly, and the destroyer Xie Yili made his appearance.
Faced with such rumors among the people, Xie Dacai felt aggrieved. The queen girl repeatedly warned him not to do anything illegal and disciplined. He was just collecting some money. As a great talent, he wanted to make friends.
Socializing and hanging out all require money. Compared with other officials, he is already very honest.
The reason why Yin Zhiping, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, made a special trip to Baoying was because he wanted to join the Cheng family. The Cheng family is a big businessman in Baoying and has always been a believer in the Quanzhen sect. The important point is that the daughter of the Cheng family was once Sun Buer, a Qingjingsan.
The woman of the Song Dynasty, and now she has become the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. If Concubine Cheng De can say a few nice words in front of the emperor, maybe the Song Dynasty court will change its attitude towards the Quanzhen Sect.
How to improve the relationship with the Song Dynasty court is a difficult problem faced by the Beggar Gang and the Quanzhen Sect. However, they would not have thought that as long as nothing happened to the Emperor of Song, this relationship could not be improved. Under the pressure of the imperial court, the Jingyi Sect of the Beggar Gang would sooner or later
will break away from the Beggar Clan, and the Quanzhen Sect will inevitably decline. The upcoming Heroes Conference is the prelude to dealing with the Beggar Clan and the Quanzhen Sect.
His Majesty the Emperor has used various means from top to bottom to suppress the Beggar Clan and the Quanzhen Sect in all directions. Under such high pressure, there will be two results, one is complete obedience, and the other is violent resistance. This is
It is a process of constant gaming, and Yang Kang currently occupies a dominant position.
The topic returns to the Heroes Conference. As the largest gang and the largest religion in the world, the Beggar Clan and the Quanzhen Sect play a decisive role in the martial arts world. If these two gangs do not participate, the Heroes Conference will have no weight.
A small gang is fighting for the leader of the martial arts league. It is not a meeting of heroes, but a farce.
However, the duel between Guo Jing and Mei Chaofeng caused martial arts people to gather in Jiaxing City. The Beggars Gang and Taohua Island had enough influence, and there was also a ranking list of masters that disrupted the entire world.
Those who are dueling, or those who are going to the Heroes Convention, they are all in the same place anyway, why not join in the fun?
Take advantage of the situation!
This was Yang Kang's plan. He took advantage of the storm caused by the duel between the two masters to launch the Heroes Conference, intending to control the martial arts and force the Beggars Gang and the Quanzhen Sect to participate. If the two gangs refused to participate, they would be suspected of being out of touch with the entire martial arts world.
, if you don’t play this time, I won’t take you to play next time. This will weaken the influence of the two gangs to the greatest extent.
After Lu Youjiao and Yin Zhiping discussed it, they felt that instead of letting those with evil intentions disrupt the martial arts world, it would be better for them to come forward to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. This would not only improve the relationship with the court, but also calm the chaos in the martial arts world. The two gangs joined forces.
Presumably other gangs won't have any objections.
While they were discussing, Guo Jing listened quietly.
He didn't know much about the situation in the martial arts world in the Central Plains. This was the third time he came to the Song Dynasty. The first time was to save Huazheng. It was that time that six of his masters died in Kaifeng Mansion, and he met Bei
Begging Hong Qigong, he became Hong Qigong's direct descendant and learned the peerless martial arts Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. He and Hong Qigong didn't spend a long time together, mainly because Lu Youjiao was the one who passed the message.
He didn't have a deep impression of this master, but he admired Bei Bei very much as a person.
The second time was when he accompanied Tuo Lei to the Song Dynasty to form an alliance, but was hunted down by the Iron Palm Gang and the Song soldiers. Now the Song Dynasty and Mongolia have broken apart. He has lived in Mongolia since he was a child, but he is a Song nationality, which puts him in a trap.
Due to his mental difficulties, he came to the Song Kingdom for the third time. On the one hand, to avenge his master, he also wanted to find an answer and experience everything about the Song Kingdom for himself.
The young man walked all the way from Mobei with such confusion. He was a warrior on the grassland and a general of the Mongolian army in the Western Expedition. During the Western Expedition, he experienced the hardships of iron and blood. Killing and death accompanied him. He remained calm.
