Early in the morning, countless guards in black rushed to the streets and searched every house. Anyone who had no hair on his head and could not prove that he was not a monk was taken back for investigation.
Just when the city of Chang'an was in turmoil and people were panicking, the officials of the Chang'an Mansion posted the official announcement in a conspicuous place with a lot of personal traffic.
Someone read according to the announcement: "By God, the emperor issued an edict that there are Buddhist thieves who took advantage of my lack of defense on the occasion of my wedding and sent martial arts masters to sneak into Xianyang Palace in an attempt to assassinate me.
Fortunately, thanks to my good fortune, I was not captured by the Buddhist thieves and was only slightly injured.
However, the dignity of the Qin State cannot be insulted, and I am outraged by it. The Buddhist thieves must be punished. I specially appointed the champion Hou Linze as the commander to lead an army, march through Buddhist temples all over the world, kill the thieves, and set an example to others. I admire this."
Later, the news that His Majesty was assassinated by Buddhist thieves and was seriously injured spread throughout Chang'an City.
When the scene of 30,000 Imperial Guard troops marching out from Chang'an was inadvertently seen, the people of Chang'an City realized how serious the matter was.
Even the Royal Guards were dispatched, which shows how angry Your Majesty is.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Hu Hai, they are all orders from Lin Ze.
For Lin Ze, since Buddhism dares to join forces with Hu Hai to scheme against him, he should be aware of being retaliated against.
This time, Lin Ze would never give up without letting Buddhism suffer a lot.
In addition to mobilizing 30,000 imperial guards, Lin Ze also mobilized a total of 400,000 troops in the name of Hu Hai.
With Han Xin as the main force, Zhang Han, Li Xin and Yu Ziqi as the assistants, they attacked Nanyue and Nanzhao in a mighty manner.
Since Buddhism came into contact with King Nanzhao and Zhao Tuo, a large number of Buddhist temples were built in Nanzhao and Nanyue in recent years.
These are all bright targets, waiting for Lin Ze to hit them.
In addition to the 400,000-strong army, Lin Ze also recruited millions of civilians in the name of Hu Hai to transport grain, grass, ordnance and ensure the army's logistics.
In general, Lin Ze plans to use the whole country to conquer Buddhism.
…
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Ping was writing furiously and reviewing memorials.
Since what happened on Hu Hai's wedding day, the entire Xianyang Palace has been under lockdown.
From then on, there would be no more court meetings in the Qin State. Only Chen Ping or Lin Ze would occasionally convene ministers to discuss something together.
Memorials sent from various places will be sent directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not Xianyang Palace.
Wu Fan led a group of royal guards and took control of the black guards to maintain law and order.
There were rumors in the city, and the black-clad guards came directly to arrest people, get to the bottom of things, and uproot those who spread the "rumours."
The imperial guards guarded Xianyang Palace and Chang'an City as usual, but all the officers above the hundred-household level were changed.
Although officers who did not resist lost their real power, their official positions and salaries remained unchanged.
The officers who tried to resist and secretly make trouble were all organized into the vanguard battalion to kill the monks.
It was so violent that Lin Ze showed no mercy and ordered it to be chopped down to scare the monkeys.
Lin Ze spent a total of five days before and after to successfully control the situation, and Qin State was able to operate normally.
…
"Ascension Pill, taken by sixth-level martial arts warriors, there is a certain chance of being promoted to the Grandmaster realm."
Lin Ze took out a porcelain vase from his arms and placed it in front of Chen Ping.
This was the first batch of Ascension Pills that Lin Ze got from Shouzheng a few days ago.
Lin Ze did not intend to send this batch of Ascension Pills overseas to fulfill the agreement, but intended to use them to strengthen his subordinates' power.
Seeing that the world is about to change drastically, Lin Ze only has two masters, Han Xin and Wu Fan, which are completely insufficient.
Lin Ze can't do everything by himself.
Just looking at the materials Lin Ze provided and Shouzheng's level of alchemy, the number of pills that Lin Ze could finally obtain was definitely not a handful.
Lin Ze will never be stingy when it comes to investing.
Even if he uses pills, Lin Ze will make Chen Ping a master.
In addition to Chen Ping, Yu Ziqi, Zhang Han and Li Xin can all receive this treatment as long as they pass Lin Ze's inspection.
With Chen Ping and Wu Fan inside, and Han Xin, Zhang Han, Li Xin and Yu Ziqi outside, it should be more than enough to establish a Western Region Kingdom and a Northern Kingdom.
Hearing Lin Ze's words, Chen Pingping showed excitement and bowed and saluted: "There is such a miraculous elixir in the world. Uncle Master is really extraordinary. My nephew, thank you, Uncle Master."
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "Okay, don't be too polite. The top priority is to seize the time to advance to the Grandmaster realm."
Chen Ping carefully put the elixir into his arms, took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement and said: "Master Nephew will seize the time to finish the matters at hand, and then he will go into seclusion and become a Grandmaster. Please rest assured, Master Nephew.
"
…
Ten days later, Chen Ping lived up to Lin Ze's expectations and was successfully promoted to Grandmaster.
A month later, Lin Ze went south, joined the army, and officially embarked on a journey to conquer Buddhism.
…
Kangcheng, Nanyue, is a new city built by Zhao Tuo who claimed to be the Queen of Nanyue.
At this moment, hundreds of corpses were scattered at the gate of Nankang City.
On the city wall, hundreds of Qin soldiers wearing black armor were on alert to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.
The black gold-edged dragon flag flutters in the wind, declaring that the sovereignty of this new city belongs to the State of Qin.
In the city, the Qin army was divided into teams. Under the leadership of military generals, they went deep into the streets and alleys and searched from house to house.
Whenever I meet Buddhist disciples, I won’t spare any of them.
Those who did not resist were arrested first and sent to the former Confederate Army camp, now the champion Hou Xing camp, where they were registered and imprisoned in exchange for military merit.
Those who dared to resist were directly shot and had their heads cut off, and were also sent to the champion Hou Xing camp to be piled up in the capital in exchange for military merit.
After all the Buddhist temples in the city were looted, they were set on fire and burned to the ground.
Just because Lin Ze ordered that when calculating military merit this time, the number of prisoners captured by Buddhist disciples would be counted as 20% more than the heads of Buddhist disciples.
If there is no danger, the Qin army will naturally be happy to capture the Buddhist disciples. If there is danger, the extra 20% military merit will not be particularly attractive to them.
On the first day when Lin Ze personally led his army into South Vietnam, thousands of Buddhist disciples suffered disaster.
As the Qin army captured the new cities built by Zhao Tuo one by one, this number increased geometrically.
On the third day, 20,000 Buddhist disciples were captured by the Qin army.
At the same time, there is a complete Beijing Temple in front of the champion Hou's camp.
One Beijing temple, ten thousand heads, no more, no less.
The news that Qin wanted to destroy Buddhism spread throughout the world.
In the new city that had not yet been conquered, the monks in the Buddhist temple learned the news and secretly ran into the mountains and forests to avoid the sharp attack.
Faced with this situation, Lin Ze did not order a chase into the mountains and forests, but instead issued two orders.
1. Block off all intersections, but if a monk shows up, shoot him without mercy.
Second, salt, grain and rice supplies are not allowed to be transported to South Vietnam, but anyone found there will be punished with treason.
Then Lin Ze had people post a notice saying that if Buddhism did not hand over the murderer of Emperor Qin, the Qin State would make Buddhism restless.
