"Have you heard? The northern court has sent troops to suppress the rebellion, a total of two hundred thousand troops!
It's better now, those muddy legs will finally be unable to jump! "
"Hiss! The Huns have only retreated for a few days, but they can already bring out 200,000 troops from the north?"
"Haha, we have all underestimated this little emperor. When he was in Yunzhou County, his family was very rich.
I heard that they directly spent 200 million stones of grain and 20 million silver to fill the national treasury and official warehouses! "
Immediately there was another gasp of air.
"So much? How can you accumulate so much wealth in such a remote place like Yunzhou County? Is it true?"
"How can it be false? I heard! The little emperor discovered several big gold mines there!
All the victims he had recruited before were sent to mine by him!
Think about how many victims he has taken away. After digging gold mines for so many years, he must be extremely rich! "
"Hey, it's great to be rich!
After those mud-legged people are calmed down, if we cause some trouble again, the court will not be able to provide disaster relief? As soon as the money comes out of this disaster relief, doesn’t it just fall into your and my pockets? "
"Hahaha, it makes sense! It makes sense! Just do it!"
News that the imperial court's 200,000 troops were marching south quickly spread throughout the south, and various parties had different attitudes towards this.
Those wealthy families were naturally happy. They naively thought that this time, as usual, the court would come to suppress the rebellious refugees. It had nothing to do with them, and they would be safer.
Not only that, some are already thinking about how to make money after the rebellion is put down.
The local yamen breathed a huge sigh of relief.
During this period, those high-ranking families had their own people, so they were not afraid of thieves. But they were afraid, because they only had government officials, and the garrison couldn't do anything.
Once a large-scale bandit attacks, officials like them will die the fastest!
Now that the imperial court has sent troops, they feel much more at ease.
As for the bandits who were not well informed, they did not know the news yet.
He continued to attack cities and forts everywhere, robbing wealthy families to fill his stomach.
Li Zicheng, who was in the Xiamen Army Fortress, had a long-lost smile on his face after hearing the news.
No wonder he was happy. The imperial court sent people here, which meant that his mission was almost back and he could leave here. How could he be unhappy?
In this way, with different thoughts from all parties, the 200,000 troops led by Ding Hongguang took the lead in entering Sunan County after traveling for eight days.
At this time, Sunan County was far more chaotic than the other seven counties. This was because the Dragon Guards did not protect Governor Yuan well after they settled in. Although he was indeed not a thing, all the senior officials in the entire county were rebelled. The people were all killed, and later Ji Wenchong and the others left in a hurry because of the incident in Bianjing, which resulted in the entire Sunan County being leaderless.
After waiting for half a month to make sure that the imperial troops would not fight back, various local careerists emerged.
Rebels formed by ordinary people who couldn't survive, gangsters raised by wealthy families, and lower-level officials who crazily made money while no one was on top.
And the rebels who flowed in from other places directly turned the entire Sunan County into a pot of porridge!
All parties are fighting in a melee, each fighting for territory, making those honest people who just want to live a good life miserable!
However, Sunan Fucheng is now occupied by a group of Red Lotus believers who claim to be a Buddhist country on earth.
This group of Red Lotus cultists appeared suddenly, or to the imperial court, they appeared suddenly.
Originally, they were spread among the people. After convincing the people to believe in it, Honglian Old Mother continued to grow and develop. However, it was always suppressed by the court, so it was never exposed to the public before. It has been developing secretly underground, with the sewers. Like a stinky rat.
However, since Sunan County lost the management of senior officials and the control of the imperial court, the Red Lotus Sect has grown rapidly at a rapid rate.
Now, there are 300,000 believers in the entire Sunan County, Zhao Jun, Sunan City, the capital of Sunan, and the surrounding three prefectures.
They are now the largest force in the entire Sunan County. At the same time, relying on the foundation they have established among the people for many years, they are still growing rapidly and are constantly encroaching on other places.
As soon as Ding Hongguang and others entered the realm of Sunan Mansion, they were informed by the senior officials of the Red Lotus Sect.
Sunan Fucheng.
"Holy girl, what should I do? The imperial court has sent people! A total of 200,000 troops!
Should we run?
It's too late to run now! "
Due to years of timidity, most of the senior officials of the Red Lotus Sect were still very afraid of the imperial court when faced with the regular army. When they heard that the imperial court actually sent a large army, their first reaction was to run away.
Sitting on the official chair where the Sunan County Sheriff used to sit, the Red Lotus Saint Su Yu, wearing a red gauze covering her face, frowned when she heard the timid voice below.
A voice like a silver bell rang:
"Protector Zhang, don't try to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. The imperial court only has an army of 200,000 people, but we have 300,000 followers. How can we escape without a fight?"
The Holy Religion has been accumulating for many years, and it is only now that it finally has the opportunity to rise. How can we let go of the foundation of the Holy Religion so easily?
Thinking that the Song Dynasty in the north had just experienced the Xiongnu invasion, and with the lessons learned from the past, the truly elite army would definitely stay in Bianjing. I heard that these 200,000 troops were all pieced together, and among them were There are a large number of new troops from the imperial court who have only been trained recently, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not very good.
And the 300,000 members of our Holy Religion are all loyal believers who can sacrifice their lives for the Holy Religion. Facing this 200,000-strong army, 300,000 versus 200,000, the advantage lies with our Holy Religion! "
The Hair Guard who had just spoken out actually felt that the Saint's words were reasonable. He and others had a total of 300,000 people here!
The bandits and thieves encountered during the expansion during this period were easily seized by the Holy Cult and driven out.
The chances of winning against the 200,000 troops assembled by the imperial court are still very high, so there is no need to be afraid!
Immediately his face looked much better, and he hurriedly asked: "Then Saint, what do you mean?"
Su Yu's silver bell-like voice said with determination: "Gather the congregation, and let's work together to defeat the imperial court's 200,000-strong army. Before the battle, our Saintess Association will offer sacrifices to Our Lady of the Red Lotus, and ask her to send blessings to protect us all from invulnerability!
If we win this battle, not only will we not have to worry about the court sending troops again in a short period of time, but we will also be able to develop our power into Bian'an County!
Once successful, our Red Lotus Holy Sect's great cause will have the strongest foundation! Years of long-cherished wishes will have the possibility of success! "
The words of the Red Lotus Saint immediately made everyone present excited, and everyone shouted in unison:
"Our Lady of the Red Lotus! Hometown of Vacuum! When the White Sun is destroyed, the Red Sun will be reborn! The Saint has arrived, and the Red Lotus is reborn!"
"Our Lady of the Red Lotus! Hometown of Vacuum! When the White Sun is destroyed, the Red Sun will be reborn! The Saint has arrived, and the Red Lotus is reborn!"
