After the fall of Yingtian Mansion, Hai Dongqing escaped from death and fled to Shanzhou with the remnants of 8,000 Skitarii, preparing for the final resistance. But in fact, Hai Dongqing himself felt that destruction was imminent, and he had little chance of winning. Because
Even Yingtian Mansion, which has a strong city wall, cannot defend it, let alone Shanzhou's weak city defense and terrain. Once the officers and soldiers pursue it, they may not be able to escape and be destroyed in the end.
However, what makes Hai Dongqing find it incredible is that the officers and soldiers did not pursue them. They were fully capable of pursuing them. They had thousands of cavalry and could easily catch up with their own troops. With the current morale and troops,
The quantity could completely intercept him on the way. However, the other party not only did not pursue him fiercely, but allowed him to escape to Shanzhou, and even allowed him to stay in Shanzhou easily for several days. Not only did he and his brothers allow him to
They were able to take a breather and have time to carefully weigh their plans. It was during these few days in Shanzhou that Hai Dongqing took a breather, saw the current situation clearly, and made the decision to break out to the west.
Breaking out to the west was actually the strategy that was planned from the beginning, but Meng Xiang's defeat caused the plan to be shelved. Otherwise, he would not have been forced to fight with the 50,000 forbidden troops in Yingtian Mansion for several days. However, Yingtian Mansion finally ended up
After being broken, there was actually no place to hide on the East and West Roads of Beijing. Except for Yingtian Mansion, no other prefecture or county could resist the defense. The imperial army swept through and was irresistible. Therefore, breaking out became the only option.
There is no need to think too much about the direction of the breakout. It can only be to the west. There is no doubt about this. But the problem does not lie in these aspects. The key to the problem is that if you want to break out west, you must recruit more soldiers and horses to coerce the enemy.
More believers broke through the west passage in one fell swoop. And all this takes time. Will Guo Xu give himself this time?
Facts are the answer. For several days in Shanzhou, Guo Xu stood still and stayed in Yingtian Mansion without any sign of sending troops to strangle. Hai Dongqing saw a glimmer of light. The other party may have thought that he was already in the bag, so he did not
They were anxious. They wanted to rest and increase their troops, and the next step would be to eat them with a thunderous force. How could they miss such an opportunity? So Hai Dongqing immediately issued a conscription order for the Holy Duke, summoning all the skitarii and teachers from all branches on the east and west roads of Beijing.
The crowd gathered in Chengwu County. At the same time, the skitarii were dispatched to escort the arrival of materials and weapons shipped from Snake Island.
This was originally a fight between trapped beasts, the last act of desperation. Hai Dongqing himself was not very sure how many followers he would be able to gather. Because after the defeat of Yingtian Mansion, he was worried that his holy power was no longer there, and he was worried that the followers would no longer be there.
Will be deceived by himself again. Facts have proved that even if many people wake up and no longer participate in Qingjiao activities, there are still loyal followers who exceed Haidongqing’s expectations and come from all directions. Within seven or eight days
Here, Chengwu County was overcrowded, and the number of loyal believers from various states and counties was as high as 50,000 or 60,000. This was completely beyond Hai Dongqing's expectation.
Faced with such a situation, Hai Dongqing was extremely excited. It turned out that he was still favored by God. It turned out that he was still the aloof and unquestionable Holy Duke in the minds of the believers. The in-depth missionary actions of each branch on the East and West Roads of Beijing obviously
It has been very effective. Compared with the five counties north of Beijing, the believers on the east and west roads of Beijing are more loyal.
Hai Dongqing arranged an interview. He stood on the city tower in Chengwu County. Congregants gathered below. Everyone was vying to see the majestic appearance of the Holy Duke. Many of them wanted to see the heroic appearance of the Holy Duke.
They have come. They are already familiar with the miracles of the Holy Father. They pray and recite the Holy Father five times a day. They have long been brainwashed into idiots. Their Holy God needs them now, so they naturally come without hesitation. They come here without any hesitation.
I believe that the Holy Duke will not fall. He is protected by the gods of Yunxiao Temple. If the Holy Duke does not fall, neither will the followers who follow him. The attack of the evil heretics will eventually be thwarted.
The scene of that interview was unprecedented. Even Guo Chong, the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, had never enjoyed such treatment and fanatical worship. Tens of thousands of believers prostrated under the tower and chanted the slogan "The Holy Gong is Great"
, tears of excitement filled his eyes. Every word of the Holy Duke was drowned out by the cheers, and every move of the Holy Duke made the believers noisy and crazy. After the Holy Duke left the tower, there were still countless believers lying on their knees.
He couldn't kneel down to the place where the Holy Duke once stood.
The control power of religion, the effect of brainwashing, the ignorance and simplicity of the people, and the good deeds of the Qingjiao to relieve the people at the beginning. The Qingjiao has established a warm atmosphere within the Qingjiao that makes outsiders look like a family.
They tried their best to exaggerate the theory of threat and salvation. These methods were like ropes, tightly binding the bodies and minds of the believers. In the fanatical and pious atmosphere, everyone competed to be better than the other.
of piety, thus losing one's self, and no one at all.
The entire Chengwu County has become a gathering place for fanatical believers. Here, you can see believers in black robes praying everywhere anytime and anywhere. What they talk about is the majesty of the Holy God, and
How to follow the Holy Duke and defeat the evil heretics in the court.
Hai Dongqing was satisfied with this atmosphere, and what he needed was this kind of irrational fanaticism. In order to strengthen this, he made the decision to increase the number of prayers. The original five prayers a day were now increased to twelve. Every day
When an hour comes, the drums are rumbling on the streets, and there are dedicated people singing carols. In the streets and alleys, no matter what you are doing at the moment, you must kneel down and prostrate, shouting "The Holy Lord is Great".
In addition to these, Hai Dongqing also posted an announcement called: Letter to All Brothers and Sisters of the Holy Religion. This announcement contained this paragraph: "...the Holy Religion came to the world at a time when demons were rampant, and for all people
In the time of water and fire, I have been ordered by the Heavenly Lord to save the world, and to lead all the people into the Yunxiao Temple when the world collapses and the doomsday comes. I have come for the destiny of Heaven. However, the demons in the secular world are so powerful that even the power of the Holy Religion cannot be affected.
It is forced by every crisis. Just like at this moment, when the Holy Religion is facing life and death, the critical moment is actually when the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and monsters are rampant. At this time, those who are not strong-willed will regret it and treat the Holy Religion
Those who are unfaithful will hesitate and regret. The fire of the Holy Religion will never be extinguished, and those who are unfaithful and unsteady can leave on their own. They will eventually understand that the Holy Religion is immortal and will never be destroyed. It is blessed by heaven and will never be destroyed.
Reason. This is a baptism. The yellow sand is washed away and the gold and stone are revealed. Don't come here for fame and gain when the Holy Religion is at its peak; nor abandon it when the Holy Religion is low and shaky. This is the real thing.
Loyalty and loyalty. Only such people can be blessed by the gods and gain salvation..."
It has to be said that Hai Dongqing has learned many methods, including using written propaganda to deceive the minds of the people. He used to disdain scholars, but after Yingtian's defeat, he summoned many scholars in the sect and ordered them to
Drafting a proclamation to paralyze the minds of the people. This proclamation can be seen. Its inflammatory and deceptive nature, how can the people resist it.
There were so many congregants who came to gather that Hai Dongqing had to sort them out. All the young and strong men between the ages of 15 and 50 joined the Skitarii, and the number of the Skitarii increased from 8,000 to 25,000. But this
It doesn't mean that others don't need to be driven to fight. Hai Dongqing knows that one more person means more hope of breaking through, so he organized the remaining people one after another and established the so-called "Sage Group"
Groups such as "Holy Spirit Group" and "Saint Girl Group".
The so-called Holy Spirit Group is composed of old men over fifty. Although the old men and women are powerless, they serve as cannon fodder and are definitely a secret weapon. The Holy Spirit Group is composed of children.
It goes without saying that the Holy Maiden Group is composed of female believers. Naturally, these groups do not have the combat power, but from a human perspective, they are the most suitable cannon fodder, possessing the capabilities of the Skitarii.
There is no advantage. The most vicious people will not attack the old, weak, women and children. This is the weakness of human nature, and this can be exploited.
In addition to these, based on Ying Tianfu's combat experience, Hai Dongqing formed a death-defying army. The members of the death-defying army are all the most loyal and fanatical believers, and they do not hesitate to fight against each other at the cost of their lives. These people are
The most terrifying thing is that he will light the bottle of fire oil hidden on his body and rush into the crowd to die with the opponent. He will attack any opponent desperately without considering his own safety.
After more than ten days of rectification and adaptation, as well as various levels of brainwashing and deception, Chengwu County has become a devil's nest where cult members gather, full of fanatical religious wars, and eager to die for the Holy Gong and the Holy Religion.
.Haitungqing's goal was achieved. At the same time, the war situation began to change, and it was time for Kaitungqing to take action.
