Chapter 1480: The incident at White Lotus Society and the arrival of Yue Lin
That day, Shen Tang and Shi Haoyan talked late at night, and then the two had a drink before Shen Tang returned home.
As for Wang Quan who came to convey the message, Shen Tang naturally responded!
Shen Tang was not too worried about the annihilation of the White Lotus Society! Speaking of the reason why the Jiangyin army still failed to make any achievements after months of strangulation, there were only a few reasons.
First, the White Lotus Society brings a large number of people and is quite powerful in the Kunshan area. Although the Jiangyin Army has 10,000 or 20,000 people, it is not easy to clear out the White Lotus Society hidden among the people! Especially if you want to eradicate the roots, it is even more difficult. Difficult! Shen Tang even suspected that the Jiangyin army and the local government might not know the true identity of the leader of the White Lotus Society, Mao Ziyuan!
As a result, the so-called suppression naturally becomes out of the question.
Second, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangyin Army has been ruined! Although the Jiangyin Army has been reorganized by Yu Yunwen, improving its combat effectiveness does not happen overnight.
Although the Jiangyin Army was established to protect the north of Lin'an, it can be called a northern barrier.
However, after many years of no war, the training of these soldiers is naturally extremely loose!
It is said to be a regular army, but even if it fights with strong men, it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose.
Even if such an army faced the White Lotus Society head-on, it would not be easy to win with the enemy outnumbered.
Third, there is only Changshu between Jiangyin and Kunshan, and the two places are not far away! With the penetration of Bailian Society, there will definitely be followers of Bailian Society in Changshu. Even if there are followers of Bailian Society in Jiangyin Army, It's not surprising to everyone.
Under such circumstances, even if the Jiangyin Army takes action, it has already been known to the Bailian Society. Coupled with the protection of some local people and believers, it would be strange if the Jiangyin Army can successfully clear out the enemy.
And if you want to deal with the White Lotus Society, even if you really send a large army to crush them, it is unrealistic! Many people are ignorant and are influenced by the White Lotus Society. Is it possible to really wipe out all these people?
Even if someone wants to do this, the leader of the army will never dare! Otherwise, even if it succeeds, the criticism from the court will not be able to withstand it.
In fact, the simplest and least influential method is to behead directly.
Just like in Tanzhou, Shen Tang directly killed Li Jin, and the people who blindly followed him naturally dispersed!
Although Zhao Shen had not mentioned asking Shen Tang to suppress the White Lotus Society before, Shen Tang was secretly prepared for it! As early as when Shen Tang in the North learned about the situation of the White Lotus Society for the first time, Shen Tang had already Something arranged!
According to the secret report from the Dark Night Pavilion two days ago, members of the Dark Night Pavilion have been infiltrated into the White Lotus Society for a long time, and the most outstanding one among them has even become its protector! Of course, with Mao Ziyuan's mystery, few in the sect know his true identity. It's rare, even the guardians don't have the opportunity to meet face to face.
However, the secret report mentioned that the guardians and elders of the White Lotus Society have gathered secretly recently, and it is very likely that Mao Ziyuan will show up.
In addition, Shen Tang has sent a message to Bian Xi, asking him to send Yue Lin to Lin'an!
Since the previous incident, Yue Lin has been training in Bian Xi's army! In more than a year, Yue Lin has grown very fast, and he is already very different from before!
However, the only flaw is the Shao Jing War! This time, Shen Tang is planning to let Yue Lin lead the troops to suppress the White Lotus Society!
Once he succeeds, not to mention his achievements, first of all, he will be tempered, and secondly, it will also prove from the side that Zhao Shen was not wrong in rehabilitating Yue Fei.
There are secret agents of the Dark Night Pavilion inside, and Yue Lin leads the troops outside! Even the worst result can destroy the foundation of the White Lotus Society! If all goes well, Mao Ziyuan can even be captured or killed directly! In this way, the reputation of the White Lotus Society Bo naturally calmed down.
As for Zhao Shen's other question, Shen Tang certainly understood what it meant! At the same time, Shen Tang was also somewhat moved by his concern for Zhao Shen!
I asked Zhao Shen before, and I won’t say anything else, but there is something Shen Tang said that is not false.
Throughout the ages, there have been very few emperors who could treat their ministers like this.
Especially such trust is rare!
Whether it's because of Zhao Ling or because he needs to realize his ambitions by himself, Shen Tang deserves to be grateful...
After entering the palace from Shen Tang, except for visiting Shi Hao once, he returned to the mansion and stayed locked up.
He even refused to see some people who came to visit him.
What made Shen Tang happy was that after just two more days of waiting, Yue Lin had already arrived in Lin'an!
Listening to the disciple's report, Shen Tang's face was full of surprise! He sent the message to Bian Xi when he was in Tanzhou! Because Shen Tang had already expected that after he returned to Lin'an, the matter of the Bailian Society that had not been resolved for a long time was very likely to happen. He would ask Zhao Shen to throw it to him, so he arranged it in advance.
Calculating the time, Yue Lin should have rushed over immediately after receiving the news?
"Go and bring him in."
Not long after, there was a sound of rapid footsteps! Then, a young general with a dark face and high energy appeared in Shen Tang's sight.
"The last general, Yue Lin, pays homage to the commander-in-chief!"
Yue Lin fell to the ground with admiration and joy.
He had been in the army for more than a year, and he had gained a lot of skills and learned a lot of things, especially knowing that his father's redress was actually planned by Shen Tang, and his gratitude and admiration for Shen Tang deepened in his heart.
"Hahaha!"
When Shen Tang saw Yue Lin, he was also very happy. He stepped forward to help him up and looked him up and down. "Yes, he is much more stable than before! Bian Xijin wrote to me about your affairs in the army!"
Yue Lin grinned and scratched his head, "Compared with generals and marshals, they are still far behind!"
"After you got the news, you rushed here directly?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
"The general said that the marshal wanted to let the general lead the army, so the general handed over the errand to the general that day, and then brought hundreds of followers, one man and three horses, and came directly!"
The retinue Yue Lin mentioned was not someone from Bian Xi's army. After all, he should be said to be a general of the Yue family!
I think back then, Yue Fei died unjustly in Feng Bo Ting, which made many people in the Yue Family Army feel discouraged.
Most of the soldiers could only drift with the tide, or be divided up by other legions, but some military generals left the army directly.
Among them, some people were grateful for Yue Fei's kindness back then, so they went to Yue Fei's home to protect Yue Fei's orphans and widowed mother.
With Yue Fei being rehabilitated and Yue Lin serving as an official again and joining the army, these people also came out.
Although these people are not as good as the Beiwei Army, they are even better than the other elites in the army! With such a retinue following Yue Lin, it will naturally be much easier for Yue Lin to make contributions.
"good!"
Shen Tang nodded, "Have you ever heard of the White Lotus Society in Kunshan, Wu County?"
