Chapter 1528: The Doomsday of Wu Jun, Kunshan White Lotus Society
Chapter 1528: The end of Wu Jun, Kunshan Bailian Society
After becoming the privy envoy, Liu Gong directly took over Wu Jun's affairs and started the first fire! After sorting out Wu Jun's crimes, he personally wrote to Zhao Shen!
Zhao Shen was furious and ordered strict action! Liu Gong immediately sent people to the Jiangyin army station to conduct a detailed investigation again, and reported to Zhao Shen after returning.
There is no need to elaborate on the rest of the details. In short, the final result of Wu Jun was that the Privy Council sent an order to Jiangyin Army. Wu Jun had committed many evil deeds and his crimes were unforgivable. He was sentenced to death!
Liu Gong sent his cronies to supervise the execution, so Wu Jun lost his head directly in front of a group of Jiangyin Army soldiers! Then, Yue Lin reported to the Privy Council, and the other accomplices allowed him to continue serving in the army, and they were guilty of meritorious service! Liu Gong agreed! At this point, Jiangyin All the giants in the army were wiped out, and the remaining ones were all grateful for Yue Lin's kindness. Everyone in the army worked hard to the death!
After taking complete control of the Jiangyin Army, Yue Lin did not rush to start a war. Instead, he continued to report to the court, recruiting strong men from surrounding prefectures to supplement the missing troops, and confiscated all the grain, rice, and money obtained by Wu Jun and others. Everything was made public and military law was reestablished! The generals in the army were delighted and awed. Coupled with Yue Lin's clear distinction between rewards and punishments, the atmosphere of the Jiangyin army changed drastically for a while, and all soldiers were killed!
Immediately, Yue Lin divided the generals and many soldiers of the Beiwei Army into various armies, stepped up the training of troops and horses, and officially sent out troops on the ninth day of December!
Although the Bailian Society has a large number of followers and is much stronger than the original Jiangyin Army, it is far from the current Jiangyin Army! In addition, not to mention, there is also the existence of the Beiwei Army.
Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, the members of the White Lotus Society were completely defeated!
In just ten days, all the counties and counties near Kunshan were captured by Jiangyin's army. Thousands of members of the Bailian Society were killed and tens of thousands were captured.
The reason for this is that Yue Lin did it deliberately after being instructed by Shen Tang! In fact, most of the members of the White Lotus Society are ordinary people. Some of them can't survive, some of them listen to other people's beliefs, and some of them are simply influenced by Bailian. They were all carried by the community! If they were all killed, these people would be somewhat unjust.
However, this does not mean that they are merciful! Among the members of the White Lotus Society, all the generals and officials were killed, and there was no mercy for those who were deeply rooted in the White Lotus Society's teachings! Those ordinary people were directly dispersed and found out. Sent to other state capitals.
As a result, in the end, only Kunshan, the last base of Bailian Society, remained.
However, it is not easy to completely win over Kunshan! In particular, the White Lotus Society has a broad base of common people in Kunshan. It is even difficult to tell which are the common people and which are the followers of the White Lotus Society. If the White Lotus Society carries hundreds of thousands of people, They will fight to the death, and no matter whether they win or lose, Yue Lin will not be able to gain anything.
In addition, there is another biggest problem, that is, there is still no trace of Mao Ziyuan, the leader of the White Lotus Society!
If Mao Ziyuan was missed, his efforts would definitely fall short, so Yue Lin has been waiting for more precise news...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, compared to the lively Lianli City, Kunshan County seemed much quieter! As other counties and counties were pacified by the imperial court, Yue Lin's army was stationed ten miles away from Kunshan. Even the White Lotus Society Everyone is also a little anxious!
Outside a Maitreya temple in the west of the county town, a group of believers were stepping up inspections, but it was particularly peaceful inside the temple!
The main hall in the middle is the Maitreya Hall. There are beams and pillars in the hall, but it is extremely empty!
The top lotus throne is empty, four smaller lotus thrones are lined up below, and below there are eight yellow futons divided into two rows.
On each of these eight futons, there is a man in gray robe sitting.
I don’t know how long I waited, but four old monks came out from behind the Buddha statue! These four old monks held Buddha beads in their hands, chanted words in their mouths, and sat on the four lotus thrones.
"I've met the elders!"
The eight people below, salute quickly!
The leader of the old monk nodded slightly, and then asked the person on the left, "The hawks and dogs in the imperial court are rampant today, and many believers are suffering. Is there any movement among the imperial soldiers and horses in the past few days?"
"The imperial troops are stationed near Taicang, there is no movement for the time being!"
After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "Our religion has tens of thousands of followers in the city. Even the imperial eagles and dogs do not dare to attack easily. Moreover, the imperial eagles and dogs will disperse sooner or later. Then our religion will be able to flourish."
"Report to the elder!"
At this time, the man in the last seat on the right suddenly spoke.
The third elder in line slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man with a look of satisfaction, "Dragon Protector Wu, what do you have to say?"
"Elder, I think that the imperial court is determined to destroy our religion! Now, it is just not sure, so it does not dare to start a war, but this war is inevitable.
What's more, although our sect has a large number of followers, we only have this city, so being trapped is not a good idea! If you elders allow it, I am willing to lead thousands of monk soldiers to fight a bloody path and fight for a way for our sect to survive! At that time, I will
Although the protector died in battle, the lotus flowers bloomed, and how could the imperial court be destroyed?"
This protector was promoted just a few months ago, but he is one of the third elders.
This man was not only proficient in teachings, but also extremely loyal to the three elders. After the war with the imperial court, he trained a thousand monk soldiers and made great contributions to the three elders. It was precisely because of the support of Protector Wu that the three elders became more important in the religion.
It also greatly increases the strength.
"It is our religion's good fortune that Protector Wu has the heart to sacrifice himself! However, there is no rush in this matter! In two days, we will meet with the leader, who will teach him how to use skills.
The leader is the reincarnation of Maitreya, a mere imperial eagle dog, although it is rampant for a while, it is not worth mentioning!"
"Respect the elder's order!"
Protector Wu fell to the ground and knelt down!
To the west of Kunshan, this place was originally a swamp, but due to the changes in the sea, it turned into a small lake in the early Song Dynasty.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu built a city here as a coastal defense post, and this small town was named Yangcheng.
Nowadays, although Yangcheng is no longer there, the locals named this small lake Yangcheng Lake (Here Come the Hairy Crabs).
Although it is winter, we are still in the south of the Yangtze River, so the lake is still rippling!
The boat rose and fell randomly, and inside the cabin was Yue Lin, who was supposed to be stationed in Taicang!
"General, although we are in the south of the Yangtze River, we are really not used to visiting the lake in the winter!"
The person who spoke was none other than Qian Hao, the commander of the Jiangyin Army's Third Army.
As he spoke, he quickly picked up the warm wine and drank it all in one gulp. He really couldn't figure out where his general's interest came from.
"Hey, when I was chatting with the commander, he once mentioned that the lake crabs here are the fattest. Unfortunately, it came too late this year. I will definitely get some for the commander during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year!"
