Section 39: The Holy Religion of Taiping

"I have discussed with the division commander. If the timid guy can feel that the turbulent army is about to attack, in this case, he can only ask us or the Lulong Mansion in the north. The Lulong Mansion is far and difficult to travel, which is not realistic, and the situation in Lulong Mansion is not very stable, so it is impossible. The only choice is us. As long as there is a formal request from the other party, I think we have a reason to intervene. I am just afraid that the Central Committee of the Empire will not accept our explanation." Yue Shan continued, but he smiled bitterly when he said the last sentence. Obviously, this is the biggest difficulty of this plan. If he cannot get a reasonable and convincing reason, the Empire will definitely suspect that this is another copy of the Jinzhou incident.

Wufeng nodded. It was difficult to gain the understanding of the Central Committee of the Empire. With the lessons of the past, no one would be wary of himself. Even the Seventeenth Princess was willing to send him to her side. You can imagine his guard against him. However, as it was already so I couldn't care about so much.

"No need to say more, just arrange according to your plan. I hope it can be arranged as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer. The Taiping Sect's people will not give us too much time. Once they breathe, they will immediately think of coming to deal with us. Since we can't get the authorization of the empire after all, we have to come by ourselves."

Wufeng seemed particularly decisive at this time and did not hesitate any more.

Hanzhong Prefecture, the capital of Guanxi County, is located in the center of the Hanzhong Basin. The Taiping River flows from the northwest and slowly goes eastward. This is an ancient city with a history of 1,500 years. It is even necessary to trace the history to several dynasties. Among them, two dynasties once established their capital here. The fertile Hanzhong Basin raised this area of ​​children. Today, the ancient Hanzhong City has changed its owner.

Armed soldiers patrolling with guns and live ammunition can be seen everywhere on the towering city walls. Their clothes are different from those of the Imperial Army. Their blue cloth coats are covered with leather armor. Whether they have or not, they are surrounded by a striking red scarf on their foreheads. A large flag with white background and gold edges on the city tower is flying in the wind, and a three-legged blue bird is embroidered in the middle. It is like it is about to rise into the air.

There are much less pedestrians on the streets in the city than before, and most of them close their doors, but many businesses still have the courage to open their doors halfway. From time to time, people who are looking around quietly to see what is different from the Hanzhong City today.

The majestic Guanxi County Magistrate's Office is located near the Damiao Square in the heart of Hanzhong City. The Damiao refers to the largest temple in the western part of the Empire left behind by the previous dynasty - Daleiyin Temple. It covers an area of ​​100 acres. The temple has magnificent buildings and unique scenery. Dozens of ancient pines that are said to have been for thousands of years old, covering the sky and the sun. It also serves as the largest pagoda forest in the mainland for storage of relics and Buddha bones left by the monks after the ascension of the eminent monks - Baohe Tallinn. Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, the famous monk Pudu, who ascended here, ascended in the sun. Since then, it has become a holy place for the Shannan believers who believe in Buddhism in the empire. Every year, a large number of believers come from the empire and even from all over the mainland to rejoice.

The capital of Kansai County is only 500 meters away from Daleiyin Temple. This courtyard is built in the traditional Tang style. It has three-in-one courtyards, with a wide depth and a deep courtyard.

The soldiers on duty in the imperial gate who were once proud of their aura have now been replaced by four red scarf soldiers with high chests and high belly and energetic spirits. They looked ahead without looking sideways, adding a bit of momentum.

The second courtyard has ancient trees and a pleasant environment. It was originally a place for the county magistrate to work and meet with important guests. Now it has occupied a lot of people and has become the headquarters of the Taiping Cult in the Kansai area.

The large conference hall was filled with people, gathering the heads of various Taiping Cult departments in the Kansai region. It was difficult for these people to gather together. Even You Daofang, the great master of Taiping Cult, had no chance to gather with so many backbone members of the church to discuss major events at the same time.

However, with the unexpected success of the Taiping Cult's military operations in Kansai County, it had captured the other five governments in the six governments in just over ten days, except for Lujiang Prefecture, and even Jincheng Prefecture, which had the Second Division of the Imperial Army's Fourth Army, was captured by internal and external forces the day before yesterday. The Second Division of the Fourth Army was forced to retreat to the neighboring Wuhu County. Now only the Lujiang Prefecture, which is located in a corner, is still surviving. I believe that it will not take long to fall into the control of the Holy Cult.

As You Daofang, wearing a green robe, sat on the top seat, the originally noisy sound in the hall suddenly became quiet, and the few people following You Daofang also sat on the seats on both sides not far from the top seat. Now, except for a few important figures in the sect, who had not arrived for some reason, almost all the important figures of the Taiping Sect in the Kansai area have arrived.

The first person sitting on the left of the Grand Master was a young man under 30 years old. He was the second disciple of the Grand Master. Lan Bailin, respected as the Second Young Master, was mainly responsible for the academic affairs of the eastern and southern parts of the empire. Next to him was a man in brocade clothes, with a fat face, a blue beard, and a rich man. He was Miao Mingkun, the sect in charge of economic and financial affairs of the Taiping Cult. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a black veil, with his eyes covered by thick black scarves, and everyone was only

He knew that he was the envoy responsible for intelligence affairs in the sect, but no one knew who was the surname and name. He was dressed in black all year round, and over time, the disciples in the sect were honored as the envoy of the black envoy; the next thin man was pale and had no face and a cold face. He was Tao Bang, the envoy responsible for the internal discipline and punishment of the Taiping Cult. The middle-aged man next to him was Feng Qi, the former chief leader of the Guanxi region of the Taiping Cult. He had been appointed as the envoy of the Taiping Cult in Hanzhong Prefecture, which was very close to the Imperial City, and was responsible for the management of the entire Hanzhong Prefecture.

The first chair on the right is empty. Everyone knows that it belongs to the position of the eldest young master Xu Wenzhe. He was unable to escape from the upcoming matters in the Beiyuan and Yanyun areas, so he has not arrived. His lower head is an old man in green, with a thin face, goatee, triangular eyes, and his appearance is really unsightly, but no one dares to underestimate him. He is Bo Jinchen, the envoy of the Taiping Cult in charge of military affairs. He has been close friends with the great master You Daofang for decades. The reason why the Kansai region was able to succeed so smoothly has the most direct relationship with his planning and arrangement.

His lower head was a man with a square face, with a righteous face, bright eyes and extraordinary spirit. He was Feng Yunkai, the envoy in charge of organization and personnel within the Taiping Cult, and was also the right-hand assistant of the great master You Daofang; beside him was Tang Guotai, the envoy in his thirties who was responsible for external contact and publicity, and a smart man in his thirties.

There were still six or seven people in these people, but they were all dressed in military uniforms. They were now the chief officers of the five governments in Kansai County, and there was also a special guest who looked like a white man. But seeing that he had a fluent conversation with several Taiping Cult officers around him, he was Ed, the special envoy stationed in the Taiping Cult in the Kaman Empire, responsible for liaison and coordination.

"Everyone, please be quiet. This meeting is the most important meeting of the Holy Church since the public raised the flag. I hope everyone can cherish this opportunity and lay a solid foundation for our next plan. Now I ask the Black Education Envoy to introduce the situation to you." The person who chaired the meeting was Feng Yunkai, the tutor in charge of publicity.

"As of now, the Holy Cult Army has controlled the five prefectures in the six prefectures in Guanxi except Lujiang, especially the entire Hanzhong Prefecture and Xikang Prefecture, which have gradually returned to normal, the people have been relatively calm, and many people have even welcomed them; Jincheng Prefecture and Bashan Prefecture are also controlled by our Holy Cult, and only some remote areas are left without energy to take care of them; Longdong Prefecture is also under the control of our Holy Cult, and the overall situation is very good. The resistance forces have been basically eliminated within the control of the Holy Cult. According to the instructions of the master, in addition to the execution of a few officials and nobles who have long been hostile to and endangered the development of our Holy Cult, we all try not to touch their interests in other classes."

"Of course, many nobles and merchants have already started to flee before the control of the Holy Church, leaving behind a large amount of unowned property and land. According to the Grandmaster's opinion, unowned property is taken over to the Holy Church, and the unowned land is registered and distributed to the people who support the development of my Holy Church according to the situation. In addition, according to the Grandmaster's opinion, various places have also begun to require land owners in various places to reduce land rents according to our regulations, especially the land rented by the people of the Holy Church must be reduced to a considerable reduction, otherwise we have the right to confiscate their land. This has already had a good effect. Many people have already requested to join our Holy Church in various places, and the momentum is very strong, which is very helpful for us to expand the development of the Holy Church."

"Of course, there are still many people waiting and watching now. As long as we can persist in withstand the attack of the imperial army and strive to ensure the stability of the Kansai territory, I believe that as time goes by, more and more people will join our Holy Church, and our foundation will become stronger and stronger."

After a pause, the masked man said again: "Now I will introduce the situation we are in, especially the surrounding situation. The Third, Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Imperial Fourth Legion have completed the assembly and set out from Tianshui Prefecture City into two routes toward the area controlled by our Holy Cult, but there is no information about its follow-up troops. Their troops are moving very slowly, probably waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to converge. The general direction is to point all the way to Jinchengfu in the south. It is estimated that the Fourth and Fifth Divisions of the Fourth Legion and the Remaining Second Divisions that retreated to Wuhu territory; the other is mainly composed of the Third Division, and there are two regiments of the Tianshui Security Division, and now they move along the main road towards Longdong Prefecture. It is estimated that the target is Longdong Prefecture City."

"In addition, according to information, the Northwest Military and Political Governor Li Wufeng has not seen him for many days. He is suspected that he has left the capital Qingyang and his whereabouts are unknown."
