On October 11th of the first year of Longxing, Feng Zhou led the Northern Expedition to capture Yanjing and massacred 200,000 Jurchen officials and civilians in one go. He then massacred 500,000 landowners and gentry who had deep ties to the Jurchens.
He immediately visited the bottom and promoted the outstanding talents who had been buried. In just one month, order was restored north of the Yellow River.
By this time, the entire north, except for Hedong with rivers and mountains inside and outside, most of the areas north of Guanzhong on the Loess Plateau and south of the Great Wall, had been owned by the Han family.
"Taiwei, why don't we take advantage of the victory and defeat Linlu Pass, capture Liaoyang Prefecture, and capture the so-called Jin Kingdom. By then, Taiwei's martial arts will be as great as ever, and it's not a bad idea to face south and face north!
"A new subordinate persuaded.
Feng Zhou chuckled: "It's freezing cold in the Northeast at this time. If we attack rashly, we will suffer serious losses! It's better to repair it for a few years and wait until I'm equipped with winter clothes before crossing Linlv Pass."
He clearly rejected his subordinate's request.
At this time, most of the Central Plains had returned to the hands of the Han family, but the small court in Lin'an was surprisingly quiet. Except for coming to inform Shaoxi that the Yuan Dynasty would be changed next year, there was nothing.
There were no rewards, no political affairs, no important military matters, and not even a copy of the newspaper.
It seems that the small court in La'an has made it clear that it is an ostrich and does not care about the Northern Expedition.
According to the information Feng Zhou received, Li Gongfu was still working steadily in the Ministry of Punishment, and the Eight Quanzhen disciples were also quietly preaching in Jiangnan. The imperial court did not impose any restrictions on them.
However, the imperial court was willing to be an ostrich, but Feng Zhou was not prepared to let them go.
There is a group of civil servants who do all kinds of despicable things for the sake of power. We really need to deal with them. If we don’t hang lanterns from the sky one by one, they are not clear-minded!
Besides, Feng Zhou has promoted a large number of outstanding talents in the past few months. These people are not willing to stay in low positions and will support him in going south to eliminate traitors.
So in March of the first year of Shaoxi, Feng Zhou launched the banner of "clearing the emperor and eradicating traitors", led an army of 100,000, and marched southward in a mighty manner.
He wanted to wipe out the Lin'an court and establish a civil and military balance where everyone had integrity and ambition.
At this time, in addition to enough civil servants and generals under Feng Zhou's command, there were also many magicians. Not only were Taoist priests from Taiyi and Taoism sects, but also several monks from Wutai Mountain who had great Buddhist and supernatural powers.
, also came to seek refuge.
The army is vast, the flags cover the sky, and the smoke is billowing. All the wise people in the world have focused their attention here. Everyone realizes that if the Lin'an court continues to act like an ostrich, it is afraid that the dynasty will change, just in front of them.
.
Because no one can stop Feng Zhou's army, and no one can stop Feng Zhou's magical powers.
But the monarchs and ministers of Lin'an may not think so.
…
Lin'an, Daoming Temple.
Since several Confucian masters gathered here that day, the imperial court commandeered this temple.
At this moment, there were no monks or Taoist priests inside, only more than a hundred maids and servants serving an old wizard.
On this day, Chen Kangbo, the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Shi Hao, the right prime minister, Zhang Jun, the privy envoy, and Wan Qi, the political advisor, all came to Daoming Temple to pay homage to the old wizard.
"I will pay my respects to the Imperial Master!"
In a luxurious room, the princes of the Political Affairs Hall of the Song Dynasty bowed together and saluted the old wizard.
The old wizard slowly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "My lords, you came to see me, but because the boat is about to go south?"
"Exactly." Privy Councilor Zhang Jun said: "National Master, the sealing power is powerful, and the army under his command is powerful. These rough warriors came to the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid they can do anything. For the sake of all the people in the world, we sincerely request you.
National Preceptor, sacrifice the true god and kill Feng Zhou and his troops to bring peace to the world."
"I know, I will worship the true god, and the true god will bless you, but I have something to say first. The true god has been in hell for a long time. Once he is born, he will eat at least one hundred thousand ladies and one hundred thousand boys." The old wizard said calmly.
.
He had said this before, but now he was just emphasizing it to make the actual rulers of these courts sober and clear.
Wan Qi took a step forward and said with a smile: "As long as Feng Zhou can be killed, the world will be at peace. Even if some people are killed or injured, it doesn't matter! Sir, don't disturb me."
"Since all of you have no objections, my disciple Shan Honglie will immediately bathe in incense, worship the true god, and ask him to show up and kill Feng Zhou!"
Many ministers were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and saluted, sending words of thanks at the drop of a hat.
…
"Master Qiankun Cave asked me to fight at Longhu Mountain?"
In Lingyin Temple, Jigong shook his cattail leaf fan and looked at the person opposite.
Behind him stood two monks, one fat and one thin. They were the fat and thin fairy boy who had descended to earth with the Dragon-Subduing Arhat and guarded the Vulture Cave in the West. The monks who now have a bright and famous dharma name must be cleared.
The person in front of Jigong was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe. This man had a proud face and looked at other people like ants, but when he looked at Jigong, he was full of fear.
"Dapeng, I am merciful. As long as you repent with humility, put down the butcher knife, and turn around, why do you need to follow the Master of Qiankun Cave and do all kinds of evil? Look, your female disciples have all changed their ways, so why are you so persistent?"
Jigong looked at the person in front of him and said seriously.
"Hahaha... Jianglong, please stop pretending here. Just as you have seen through life and death, and are not limited to drinking and eating meat, I, the Dapeng King, have also seen through the ways of Buddhas and Demons, and have long transcended knowledge. I and the Qiankun Cave
Lord, if we join forces, we will be invincible in the world! If you don’t dare to go, just kneel down and kowtow three times!”
"Amitabha!" Jigong sighed, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me, monk, for being rude. Ten days later, when we go to Longhu Mountain, monk, I and my fellow Taoists will definitely kill you and the Master of Qiankun Cave!"
"Okay! That's when I and the Lord of Qiankun Cave will welcome you in the future at Longhu Mountain!" The Dapeng laughed loudly, suddenly stretched out its arms, flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the Dapeng bird's retreating figure, Jigong's face showed a solemn expression!
"It's normal for the Master of Qiankun Cave and Dapeng to join forces, but when the Black Rakshasa was born, they wanted to make an appointment with me to fight against Longhu Mountain. Such a coincidence is not good! If the world is in chaos, Monk, in my heart
How can I let it go? Do I have to tell that little Taoist priest?"
Jigong thought in his mind.
"Junior brother, this time we join forces, we will definitely kill these monsters!" The fat monk Guang Liang approached Jigong and said with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Daoji, Biqing is willing to join hands with the two uncles to conquer demons and eliminate them, no matter what!" said the thin monk Biqing.
"Very good, very good! Since we are going to fight, you must follow my arrangements for the next step!" Jigong smiled.
"No problem, as long as you slay demons, you can go up mountains of swords and seas of fire! Tell me, what do you want us to do?" Guang Liang and Bi Qing said together.
"Of course I'm going to bed!" Jigong laughed, waving the cattail leaf fan and walked to his meditation room. No one could see it, his face was expressionless at this time!
…
At this time, Fengzhou's army traveled unimpeded. After crossing the Huaihe River, no one in Yantu City dared to resist, and they all obediently offered food and grass.
On the day when Jigong and his friends set foot on the longhusha of Longhu Mountain, the army arrived at Jiangpu on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Feng Zhou led a group of confidants to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Looking at the vast river water, his heart was filled with endless passion.
"Sir Taiwei, the Yangtze River is at our feet right now. Once we cross the Yangtze River, those traitors in Lin'an City will definitely be severely punished!" a warlock said excitedly.
"That's right. After clearing the court and reunifying China, the achievements of the Taiwei, even though they are famous in ancient times, cannot be compared!"
"The troops under Taiwei's command are unparalleled in battle, and the magic in their hands reaches the sky. No one in the world can compete with Taiwei. He will surely ascend to the throne of immortality, just before his eyes."
Just when many of his subordinates were full of enthusiasm, suddenly, a cold voice with a touch of age came from the Yangtze River:
"Shameless talk!"
This voice was very dull, but it only reached everyone's ears. From the voice alone, it was known that his cultivation level was not strong, and it was far inferior to the magicians and others present here. But Feng Zhou's figure suddenly stiffened.
"who?"
Wang Chongyang looked over.
I saw a huge, domineering man dressed in pitch black, with the head of a wolf and the body of a bear, slowly coming up from the Yangtze River, surrounded by a group of demons and monsters.
"What monster?"
Many people asked in surprise.
Including Taiyiyi, Taoism, and several monks from Mount Wutai, all looked puzzled.
"It seems that the magic power is not very strong, and the momentum is not very high. How dare a small monster dare to challenge Zhenren Feng? It's really impatient!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Feng Zhou's expression was extremely solemn, and he uttered three words:
