Longmen Temple was destroyed by bandits. When Huang went out to inspect his land, he was robbed and killed by tigers in the mountains and exposed his corpse in the wilderness. Two terrible tragedies quickly shocked Baokang's gentry.

Of course they all know who did it.

Speaking of which, Zhenshanhu and Huang are brothers. In recent years, Huangshanhu sold stolen goods and did dirty work for him. Both of them were so good that they almost wore a pair of pants. Zhenshanhu kicked the donkey in his head? Killing his most important business partner? As for Longmen Temple, it was even more nonsense. The bald men and Zhenshanhu had been in peace for many years, and both families had cooperated with each other. He went to destroy any of the families without any trouble! The only one who could do this was worship God's religion. The bald men from Longmen Temple had just gone to the county magistrate to sue them for rebellion. Huangshanhu had just suspected their motives, and then one family was destroyed and the other was killed by a knife. These guys were indeed cruel and ruthless.

I'm afraid this is really going to rebel!

After understanding this, Baokang's gentleman shut up instead.

If they continue to inform, the result will be that the government will send troops to fight, and then their hometown will become a battlefield. They all understand the principle that the thieves are like combing soldiers, like combing bandits, and shaves. The brutality of these officials is second only to bandits, and the rebels are still slightly stronger than them, not to mention that they are the first to retaliate by worshiping God Cult. It can be said that no matter what the result of the rebellion of worshiping God Cult in the end, they will definitely be the most unlucky. Since this is the case, then continue to pretend not to know anything. Anyway, these people rebel to steal the territory outside the mountain and will definitely not stay in a poor mountain valley like Baokang. People are just doing preparations here for the time being, not to say that they are going to take possession of Baokang. It is best for everyone to be safe, and they can also take the opportunity to make a fortune by selling food and meat. It is precisely because of this mentality that the gentleman Baokang completely turned a blind eye to the various activities of worshiping God Cult.

Then Yang Feng continued to train his first army in Huanglongguan, and at the same time continued to create new flintlock rifles to arm more new recruits recruits absorbed through the complaint conference.

By early summer of this year, his Holy Cult Army had expanded to 500 people.

As for the believers of the Holy Church...

It is hard to say how many of this is, but at least one-quarter of the population of Xiangyang Prefecture has converted to God Haotian. Baokang and Fang County in Yunyang Prefecture will not be lower than this ratio. There are even many believers in Nanyang, Suizhou and other places. It can be said that they are like a great sect, but they still did not arouse the vigilance of the Qing government. First, Qi Lin gave away silver in these governments in a timely manner, and second, the Qing officials were so efficient. The Gossip Cult was spread in Shandong for nearly a hundred years before it aroused the alertness of the Qing Dynasty. It is conceivable that the local officials had a simple place to eat. The worship of the God Church, who had just started a family for more than a year, would not allow these wastes to take action, let alone they could gain benefits.

I have to say that these Qing officials also have their lovely side.

That's...

Apart from flattering their boss, they generally don’t care about other things. Apart from making money for themselves, they generally don’t think of their responsibilities.

Even if someone treasons under their rule.

As long as they have money to make, they will also turn a blind eye to it.

By the way, Yang Feng didn't believe that Xiangyang Prefecture and An Yunxiang Jingbing General Yunyang could not guess his intention. Last time, An Yunxiang Jingbing deliberately released the news that Baokang County Magistrate was missing, probably to test his purpose. After all, if it were not for other intentions, a Taoist priest would not have given 10,000 taels of silver to buy a poor county magistrate, but even so, the officials in Xiangyang continued to ignore him.

Anyway, if they leave when they are in office and make enough money during their term, even if he rebels, he will be in trouble for the next generation.

This is the same as the Wang family entrenched in Shifokou.

It is said that the Wang family of the Yinxiang Sect is still happy and happy at Shifokou, but it has been renamed Qingchamen.

Even if there were records of rebellion in the previous dynasty and the court clearly defined the I-Cult, he was ignored, not to mention that his definition was somewhat vague to worship the God Church.

"This is the official!"

Yang Feng said contemptuously.

At this time, he was on the boat on the Han River, on the dock of Fancheng in front of him, the Xiangyang prefect was bowing farewell to the officials who were seeing him off. The prefect collected nearly 10,000 taels of silver last year, and now he has used this money to go to the Hezhongtang route and was promoted to Shanxi governor. This is to go to the post.

Anu beside him also looked at this scene hatefully.

It is estimated that Princess Gulun also deeply felt that she had no officials and no corruption in the Qing Dynasty, and no officials and no corpse and no place to eat. At this time, she was inevitably a little angry. After all, she saw how Yang Feng grew up. Ten thousand taels of silver made a prefect ignore the other sects rising under her own rule. Where did you go to serve the country with your loyalty?

Just such a corrupt official, this is the pill for the Qing Dynasty sooner or later!

"Immortal Lord, is it a ship?"

The ship boss asked Yang Feng respectfully.

A silver chain fell on his chest, and a dazzling five-colored star was adorned under the chain.

"Let's go!"

Yang Feng nodded and said.

"The ship is starting!"

The ship boss shouted immediately.

Immediately afterwards, this large inland sand boat, nearly ten feet long, slowly sailed away from the dock, dragged down the river from the skyrocketing Han River, and went downstream to Hankou.

Yang Feng wants to find a partner.

Zhu Bin.

This name that few people know in modern times is the Yunxiao people in Fujian. At this time, the largest smuggler on the southeast coast, or pirates. In fact, in the definition of the Qing Dynasty, he was indeed a pirate, a pirate leader, and a pirate leader who hindered the coastal coastal situation and made the officials and people not have peace.

This was the time when the Qing Dynasty was the most restrictive sea ban. Only one port in Guangzhou in China allowed foreign trade. In order to make a living, the coastal people along Fujian and Zhejiang had to join the smuggling ranks. They drove small boats to rush to the sea with the ban of the Qing Dynasty. They traded merchant ships with Europe on those islands, and formed large and small ship gangs. They can be said to be both merchants and thieves. This situation has actually been accompanied by the Qing Dynasty's sea ban period, which has continued for more than a hundred years, one fell down and the other rose. Zhu Bin was the leader of the largest ship gang here. He had even developed to the point where he could engage in naval battles with the Qing navy. He was not dead until the Jiaqing period. When his brother led his subordinates to surrender, there were still thousands of people, dozens of warships and hundreds of artillery big and small artillery.

And Yang Feng is now trying to support Zhenhaiwang, which has even occupied a large territory in Taiwan, and then develop trade with Europe through him.

Build your own navy by the way.

His best choice for the Northern Expedition was to follow the route of the British and French allied forces, land at Dagukou from the sea and then take Beijing directly. Now he is deep inland. Even if he develops at most in Xiangyang, he can only develop an inland waters. If he wants to have the ability to land at sea, he must at least have a useful sea fleet. The pirates led by Zhu Bin are his best choice. He can even use Lin Shuangwen's identity to help them first acquire Taiwan's development strength. Originally, Zhu Bin had occupied the Taipei area in history. As for how to conquer Zhu Bin, this is not worth mentioning, at most he could show his identity as a god. These outlaws at the sea are usually extremely superstitious about gods. Turning back and letting them go to Mazu, and then saying that Mazu is also an old friend in his heaven.

Fujianese believe this.

Zhu Bin did not believe his subordinates would definitely believe it.

It was only six or seven hundred miles from Xiangyang to Hankou. A line of Han River was inserted diagonally. Yang Feng's boat went downstream and arrived in Wuchang on the third day. He turned to the Yangtze River here and continued downstream. He soon passed Jiujiang and Wuhu and arrived in Nanjing unobstructedly.

There are also believers in worshipping God here.

"Who is this portrait?"

In front of the Dinghuai Gate in Nanjing, Yang Feng looked at the portrait of Lin Shuangwen on the wall in front and asked knowingly.

"Go back to the Immortal Lord, that's Lin Shuangwen who captured Princess Qing Yao."

Congregationist Lin Sheng whispered.

He didn't know that the fairy child beside him was the Qing Demon Princess. He knew that Yang Feng used Lin Shuangwen's body to make a big fuss in Beijing. He didn't know that middle and low-level believers like him didn't know that this portrait was actually available in Xiangyang. Although Yang Feng used his original appearance in Tianjin, he didn't know why, in the capture of the Qing Dynasty, he continued to use Lin Shuangwen's portrait.

After all, Beijing's bannermen have a deep impression of this face.

Lin Sheng is a businessman in the Finance Department under the jurisdiction of Xian Gu. He is specialized in selling luxury goods provided by Yang Feng, accumulating wealth for the Holy Church, and then using it to assist the church members. On the surface, he is a tea merchant in Nanjing, and has his own shop. He secretly develops church members in Nanjing while selling goods. However, this place is too far from Xiangyang, and the most important means of Yang Feng's missionary medical skills cannot radiate here, so he has not made much achievements in missionary work, but his achievements in making money are huge. In less than half a year alone, he has earned 200,000 taels of silver for Yang Feng. This is only what he handed over, and he must have earned more.

Yang Feng is not the only one in this area, but several believers are doing the same thing.

The wealthy businessmen in Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are setting off a wave of such luxury goods.

Whether it is silver-plated mirrors, plastic products, stainless steel tableware, or even modern fabrics, they are flocking to these guys who have no other hobbies except showing off their wealth. A salt merchant in Yangzhou even bought the largest silver-plated mirror for 5,000 taels of silver for his beloved prostitute. Jiangning Weaving spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy three colorful cloths as gorgeous as clouds, or modern artificial fiber printed cloths. Xiaoqian blacked into the monitoring system, and then swept the jewelry in the jewelry store, especially those natural or artificial gemstone jewelry that were sweeping the wealth circle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even merchants from the Thirteenth Francs in Guangzhou came to buy them. They must have sold them to Europeans when they bought them.

The money earned by these things continued to pour into Yang Feng's hands, and then used to buy officials to help the believers to create arms and train the army, waiting to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop.

"Hmph, sooner or later, the blood of Qing Yao will stain this Ming Imperial City with red color!"

Yang Feng sneered.

He didn't notice that at this moment, a man in an official uniform on the city wall was looking at his Anu.
Chapter completed!
