Fan retreated into the store.
All the bald people in the store looked at him strangely.
The shopkeeper looked unhappy when he saw that his gown was shabby and there was a pig tail hanging on the back of his head.
"I'm talking about Fan Tui, the Ming Dynasty flag has been hung on the city wall for several days, and everyone has shaved their hair. Why, you still can't forget the Qing Dynasty?"
Fan Tui was not afraid and did not answer. He only placed a few copper coins on the counter.
A jug of wine and a dish of fennel beans.
Yes, for Tong Zi'er's sake, the shopkeeper scooped out a pot of wine for him, set up a small bowl, and grabbed a handful of fennel beans.
Others sitting at the table, either having a bowl of boiled salt bamboo shoots or a bowl of Kuding tea, all looked at him with a smile.
Someone said: "I'm talking about Fan Tui. Fan Jin won the imperial examination hundreds of years ago. Why are you still a poor scholar?"
Some people exposed his shortcomings, saying that he was originally from a small wealthy family, but his father smoked cigarettes and drained the family.
Others were shouting loudly, saying that Fan Tui broke into the sealed Lou family compound two days ago and stole a bunch of copper coins.
Fan Tui's eyes widened and he said, "Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"
Later, when the Lou family mouse crossed the street, everyone yelled and beat it, and everyone came to get money, which was taken from the people and used for the people.
The guys laughed at him.
"Oh, I saw you climb in with my own eyes that day. If the Lou family were still here, your legs would be broken..."
Fan Tui's face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he argued: "Can a scholar's affairs be called stealing? This is called borrowing."
What followed were words that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, and the store was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Fan Tui covered the small bowl with his hand, swatted away the small hands of the two children, and looked at the few fennel beans left in the bowl, with distress on his face.
At this time, a man rushed in from outside the door. He shouted to the store: "We have arrived in Hexi Village today. Hexi Village, go home quickly, the fields will be divided in the Ming Dynasty!"
Divide the fields?
Several customers from Hexi Village immediately stood up and rushed back, not drinking the unfinished tea in their bowls.
Fan Tui put a few beans into his arms, drank the wine in one gulp, and hurried home.
The shopkeeper grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, you can't divide the land without shaving your hair."
"Shave your hair, I'll shave my head!"
…
Aboard the Dingyuan.
Zhu Zaiming met Zhao Tiezhu on the deck, along with an unexpected person.
Nie Renjie, the man who sat at the same table with Zhao Tiezhu at the time, was looking at the main gun of the Dingyuan in a daze.
He was originally a small leader of the White Lotus Sect. After the uprising in the south was wiped out by the Qing army, he joined the big leader Wang Conger.
As various Qing troops advanced, Wang Conger was defeated and died, and the rest of the troops began to retreat into Sichuan.
Nie Renjie was ordered to go north to prepare for the uprising of refugees in Zhejiang and force some Qing troops to return.
Unexpectedly, Daming came back at this time.
The Qing troops everywhere seemed to have their tails stepped on, and they no longer cared about the White Lotus Sect, and went north to rescue Jiangnan.
At this time, the White Lotus Sect gained a precious respite, and various ministries gathered in Sichuan to discuss alliance matters with the Ming Dynasty.
When Nie Renjie expressed this idea, Zhu Zaiming smiled and asked something that he couldn't figure out.
"Have you, the White Lotus Sect, ever registered in the Ming Dynasty?"
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the only officially recognized religion was traditional Taoism.
It is said that in troubled times Buddhism does not come out and Taoist priests go down the mountain.
Compared with Buddhist temples, except for a few ascetic temples, Zhu Zaiming has a better perception of Taoism.
And what is the White Lotus Sect?
The White Lotus Sect originated in the Southern Song Dynasty and was relatively normal at first.
Don't kill, don't steal, don't engage in sexual misconduct, don't lie, don't drink alcohol, and be a little halal.
But after hundreds of years of development, what is it now?
In peaceful times, believers are developed and believers are allowed to donate gold and silver.
As soon as the war years came, they took up the banner of uprising and began to violently make money.
Now, it can be said that there is nothing to disturb.
Holding the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, what they are satisfied with is the decadent life of the upper class.
It is undeniable that there are some good leaders among them, but there are too few of them.
Moreover, religion supports the army. Zhu Zaiming didn't even think about it and just killed him with one shot.
Therefore, after Nie Renjie proposed his intention, Zhu Zaiming directly gave him a difficult problem.
Nie Renjie laughed "haha", slightly embarrassed.
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the regulations are for this registration?"
"Submit the teachings to the Ministry of Rites for review, and they must be supervised by the Ministry of Rites from top to bottom."
As soon as Nie Renjie heard this, he knew there was no chance.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
What is the slogan of the White Lotus Sect now?
What about "The Holy Mother came to the world to save the world", "The sky has no eyes, but the Buddha has eyes"...
Damn it if the imperial court can tolerate this.
The White Lotus Sect has long since transformed from strict rules and regulations to a personal worship of the "Holy Mother".
After Wang Conger was defeated and jumped off a cliff, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect refused to obey anyone and were currently engaged in internal fighting in Sichuan.
Nie Renjie sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Now the White Lotus Sect is fighting openly and secretly. They will never take the overall situation into consideration. They will never accept the control of the Ming Dynasty."
Then he talked about himself again.
He originally joined Christianity to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
After dealing with the Qing army for several years, I gradually saw the faces of those leaders clearly.
I want to use this mission to make a big fuss in Suzhou and Hangzhou and die in battle with great vigor.
He had his muskets ready and was waiting to kill Lou Yushu and start an uprising against the Qing Dynasty.
Then, we witnessed the Ming Dynasty's vigorous attack on local tyrants to divide their land.
Zhu Zaiming looked him up and down and saw that he was strong and had a martial spirit.
Absolutely no enjoyment of the big belly.
I was satisfied with him and started to recruit him, so I said.
"You are fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and I am fighting against the Qing Dynasty. You and I both have the same ambition.
Why not come to Daming? "
When Nie Renjie heard this, he immediately showed what speed was.
He kneeled down and immediately expressed his attitude.
"Broken to pieces, no matter how hard you die!"
…
Far away in Sichuan, among the mountains.
Yao Zhifu, Zhang Zhengmo, Xu Tiande and others gathered together to discuss matters.
There is a table and three chairs on the top of the hill.
The three of them sat on chairs separately, keeping a distance from each other and being very vigilant.
At the foot of the mountain are their own people.
Yao Zhifu looked around and said: "Feng Deshi was surrounded by the Qing army in Huguang. There is no chair for him in this alliance. Let's discuss things first.
Let’s talk about it, what’s this attitude towards Ming Dynasty? "
Zhang Zhengmo's careless voice sounded, with an irritated look on his face.
"As I see it, there is no difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty really conquers the world, we, the White Lotus Sect, will still revolt!"
Xu Tiande smiled and said: "That's right. Zhu Yuanzhang was suppressing us back then. I still remember this hatred. But you, Lao Yao, your ancestor is Yao Guangxiao, right?"
Yao Zhifu frowned and said calmly: "My family is just a side branch, I'm not sure whether it's related or not.
However, no matter what, this uprising must continue.
The White Lotus Sect must also be passed on.
This is the position of the leader..."
At this point, everyone stopped talking and looked at each other with squinted eyes.
Back then Qi Lin led everyone to rebel, and later his wife Wang Conger.
The situation was originally very good, but when they moved to various places to fight, the Qing army was defeated and fled.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After several people secretly betrayed Qi Lin and his wife, the situation took a turn for the worse.
Now we can only survive.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty fought back, and everyone felt that they could use the Ming Dynasty to give the White Lotus Sect a chance to recover.
