Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 231: Chaos in Sichuan and Sichuan

It has been a month since the White Lotus Sect started the uprising on July 7th, and the place is still in chaos!

In fact, except for Mianyang and Guangyuan, the power of the White Lotus Sect in other places is also very limited, and the scale of their uprising was also very limited! But with the help of the imperial court, the scale of the uprising turned out to be getting bigger and bigger!

However, different from the previous peasant uprisings, this time the rebels from various places rarely attacked the cities and government, and this time they did not even form a large-scale rebel army! The Bailian disciples from all over the place rushed to the homes of local officials and gentry, and looted wantonly in the homes of the officials and gentry! Of course, the homes of some officials and gentry who supported the imperial court hardly encountered any danger, only those officials and gentry who violated the orders of the imperial court were in danger! The homes of many leaders of the White Lotus Sect were also robbed. Many leaders of the White Lotus Sect learned that it was "one of their own" who robbed their homes, and they wanted to cry without tears!

Although there were some people who were looted in the homes of the real people who did not participate in the White Lotus Sect uprising, they were relatively few! Most of the victims were the homes of the White Lotus followers!

It's already August in the lunar calendar, and the weather has turned cooler!

In a teahouse in Chengdu, Sichuan, more than a dozen guests are sitting at several tables, and several tables are discussing a lot!

"I heard that Sichuan and Sichuan are in chaos now! Those White Lotus believers have committed all kinds of crimes, and countless rich people's homes have been burned!"

"Hey, it's not just rich people's homes, many ordinary people's homes were also burned! Moreover, many of them are members of the White Lotus Sect!"

"They are self-inflicted and self-imposed!"

"Who said it wasn't?"

"Didn't the White Lotus Sect say to establish a prosperous age of white lotus? Is this the prosperous age of white lotus?"

"Their white lotus prosperity is burning, killing and looting, everyone does not work, everyone robs others!"

"Ah! What if everyone's home is robbed?"

"What should I do? Of course they are all starving to death!"

"This White Lotus Prosperity is really a joke! Fortunately, we didn't join the White Lotus Sect!"

"That's right! Fortunately, not many people in Chengdu have joined the White Lotus Cult, and now Chengdu is still quiet!"

"Do you think the imperial court can eliminate this cult's uprising?"

"There must be no problem! The cult has no ability other than burning, killing and looting! And now they have their own civil strife, so there is nothing to fear!"

"I hope that the imperial court will eliminate the cult as soon as possible, and restore peace to Sichuan and Sichuan!"

There were five people sitting at a table next to it, and a young man was among them! This young man is not very old, but he has all kinds of indescribable temperaments such as calmness and perseverance!

He was listening to those tea drinkers!

After a while, he stood up, and the rest of the people at the same table hurriedly stood up!

"Let's go, go see Wu Jie!" the young man said lightly.

At the same time that the young man left the teahouse, "tourists" came out from several nearby shops. These people protected the young man from front to back and headed towards the government office of Chengdu Mansion!

After a quarter of an hour, the young man came to the mansion, and Wu Jie was waiting here!

"The last general, Wu Jie, sees His Majesty!" Wu Jie saluted the young man!

"You don't need to be too polite, let me tell you about the current situation in Sichuan and Sichuan! How many officials and gentry on the list who opposed us have been eliminated!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 56,000 families of officials and gentry with names and surnames in Sichuan! More than 40,000 of these 56,000 families are obedient to the orders of the imperial court! This time we use the name of the White Lotus Sect, Sneaking 40,000 troops into various places, most of them have been wiped out now! At least all their houses were burned by us, and all their properties and land deeds were destroyed in the fire! The imperial court wants to implement the rent reduction order, but now it will not happen How many questions!" Wu Jie said.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"However, Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has been operating in Mianyang and Guangyuan for many years, and our army cannot enter there at all! Now these two places have been completely occupied by the White Lotus Sect!" Wu Jie said.

"It's just two places! If you can exchange these two places for the destruction of the entire Sichuan and Shu officials and gentry class, that's worth it!" Zhao Chen said.

"The brother of the last general, Wu Lin, is now leading 20,000 soldiers to guard the exit of Jinniu Road! It is enough to ensure the safety of Chengdu!" Wu Jie said.

"Very good! Let the chaos continue for a while! We will use the name of the White Lotus Sect to wipe out all those who oppose the court in one fell swoop! Not only officials and gentry, but also some so-called well-known scholars in the local area. Dao Si, also destroy it in the name of the White Lotus Sect!" Zhao Chen said.

"This..." Wu Jie stayed there.

"The Propaganda Department of the imperial court entered Sichuan and Sichuan, and many great Confucian scholars are also resisting forces! I want to completely unify the forces of the whole country, and there is no room for any resisting forces!" Zhao Chen said.

"The general understands!" Wu Jie hesitated for a long time, then nodded.

*** ***

It's already the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, and Mianyang and Guangyuan in northern Sichuan are completely under the control of the White Lotus Sect!

However, the Queen's mood is not very good. Just this morning, the elders of the White Lotus Sect who went to Chengdu, Jiading and other places have returned to report the situation in various places!

At night, the queen called the elders of the White Lotus Sect together again to discuss important matters!

"I let you rise up in various places in Sichuan and Sichuan. Why is there chaos everywhere except Mianyang and Guangyuan? We want to rise up and occupy Sichuan and Sichuan, not to cause chaos everywhere!" More than ten elders came here , the queen stared at the elders below, and said coldly.

"Sovereign, this matter is very strange! I am in Chengdu, mobilizing the White Lotus Sect disciples from all over Chengdu, and I am about to start an incident, but there is chaos in all parts of Chengdu! Our White Lotus Sect has encountered disasters in the homes of the leaders and disciples in various places. Even the few of us can't control the rest of the disciples!" Elder Zhong who participated in the discussion that day said.

"Why did such a thing happen? Why did their families encounter disasters?" the Queen asked.

"I heard that disciples from our sect broke into their homes, burned, killed, and looted!" Elder Zhong said.

"How is this possible? It's impossible for the disciples in our teaching to break into their house?" The queen said in disbelief.

"Sovereign, I also discovered a very strange thing!" Elder Zhong said again.

"What's the matter?" the queen said.

"In some places in Sichuan and Shu, there is no branch of our White Lotus Sect, and there are no disciples of our White Lotus Sect, but these places are also in chaos! There are also many disciples of the sect, and those disciples of the sect even put many officials and gentry The house burned to a white ground! It's really weird!" Elder Zhong said.

"This..." The Queen stayed there!

"Sovereign, we have also discovered such a thing! We also found that some disciples in the sect did not obey our orders at all, and they were dressed like members of the Song army!" Another elder said.

"What!" The Queen was stunned again!

"Sovereign, I think it is the Great Song Dynasty who tripped us from behind! The Great Song Dynasty is full of tricks, and they also use the name of our White Lotus Sect to create chaos in various places! Our White Lotus Sect can cause trouble mainly because of the will of the people. Xiang! People in Sichuan and Sichuan have always hated the imperial court, so they will take refuge in us! But now, after this incident, except for Mianyang and Guangyuan, people everywhere hate our White Lotus Sect. Possibly! We must stop this matter!" Elder Zhong said.

"This...how could this be? What should we do now?" The Demon Queen was at a loss!

She was able to become the suzerain of the White Lotus Sect, relying on her invincible martial arts! In addition, her master was the suzerain of the White Lotus Sect back then, and passed this position on to her! She also has the ambition to establish a prosperous age of white lotus, but she has been wandering in the rivers and lakes since she was a child, and has no political experience at all! Now that there is an emergency situation, she doesn't know how to deal with it!

"Sect Master, I have an idea in my heart!" Elder Zhong said.

"What idea? Tell me quickly!" the Queen said.

"The reason for the chaos everywhere must be that the imperial court is fueling the flames! The imperial court is using the name of our White Lotus Sect to eliminate dissidents, and then frame us! It is impossible for us to explain now! Ordinary people will never listen to us Yes! However, if the imperial court wants to do such a thing, they must rely on the army in Yuzhou, that is, the army under Wu Jie and Wu Lin! There are only more than 60,000 people, and if they want to cause chaos in the entire Sichuan and Shu, most of their troops may be invested in various places! That is to say, there are no soldiers in Sichuan and Shu now!" Elder Zhong said.

"That...you're right!" The Queen nodded immediately.

"Our White Lotus Sect has occupied Mianyang and Guangyuan, and already has countless people! We can organize the people into an army, conquer Chengdu and Yuzhou, and use the army to occupy Sichuan and Sichuan! What does the suzerain think?" Elder Zhong said.

"Okay! That's great! Senior Brother Zhong, you are indeed the elite of the sect. Our White Lotus Cult has a talent like Senior Brother Zhong, so why not worry about things failing?" The queen's face revealed an expression of excitement.

"The suzerain is overwhelmed!" Elder Zhong said flatly, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes!

Although his martial arts is not as good as the Queen, but he actually looks down on the Queen in his heart! In his opinion, it is impossible for a woman, the Empress, to lead the White Lotus Sect to glory! Women have long hair but short knowledge, he looks down on women like the Empress! Moreover, he doesn't think that the so-called "White Lotus Prosperity" can really be established, what he wants to establish is a court like the Song Dynasty! He also has his own great ambitions. If this incident is really successful, he will use the White Lotus Sect to realize his dream of becoming an emperor!

"It's not too late! Then we have to form an army immediately and attack Chengdu and other places?" The Queen looked at Elder Zhong and said.

"Not bad!" Elder Zhong nodded.

"In that case, I will leave this matter to Elder Zhong!" said the Demon Queen.

"Sovereign, if I want to form an army, I must have a name!" Elder Zhong said.

"That's it... let me think about it! From today onwards, Elder Zhong, you are the Grand Marshal of the White Lotus Sect!" said the Queen.

"Sovereign, I don't think it's better to make my master the King of Shu! Only in this way can we lead the rebel army in a legitimate way!" The young man who participated in the meeting that day was also the "Senior Brother Yang" who was talking to Song Qingyao, stood up and said.

"Shu King? How is this possible?" the Queen asked in disbelief.

"Sovereign, he's a kid talking nonsense! Don't listen to his nonsense! I'm going to organize an army right now!" Elder Zhong said.

"Okay! Elder Lao Zhong is here!" The queen nodded and said.
