Among them, because of the special location of Boluo in Xunzhou, some thieves saw that this place had a basis for advancing and retreating, so they called on hundreds of people to do something, hoping to get some benefits.
Unfortunately, these people, without a long-term vision and layout, fled and evaded under the driving and hunting of the officials. Because I heard that Boluo had magical powers, he sent people to ask about the prospects of these people.
Because there were only a few hundred thieves at first, but because many of them were oppressed by the government and instigated by everyone, there were now more than a thousand people.
After asking the gods, they received a satisfactory answer.
Because the gods told them that this Zhang Yuxian was the reincarnation of Arhat and came down to the mortal world to save all sentient beings. Everyone could recommend Zhang Yuxian as the leader, so everyone believed it. It can only be said that the ghosts and gods of this era are too powerful, and Zhang Yuxian has since successfully become the leader of these thieves.
According to later historical records, it was only a few decades before Zhang Yuxian's uprising. These rumors and legends must be extremely credible. Moreover, the history books were written by the Song Dynasty, which occupied the Central Plains, and combined the history books of the Southern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it would not be fabricated.
At that time, under the recommendation of a caring person, Zhang Yuxian actually called himself the Eight Kings of Zhongtian. He changed his name to Yongle in Boluo, and also set up officials. In a short period of time, thousands of followers gathered around Zhang Yuxian.
Later, as he participated in the campaign of conquest and suppression, some people involved analyzed that Zhang Yuxian was able to become king that year mainly because he received the divine right. Because during the period of the Five Dynasties, there were too many people in various places who used the name of gods to cause trouble, not to mention that Buddhism and Taoism were prosperous at that time, and there were many people who believed in them.
! ! !
Two messengers, young men and women dressed in white and red lotuses. Because the envoy Zhang Yuxian claimed to be the red lotus envoy in front of the Immortal Seat.
Those who support the belief in Zhang Yuxian are proud to wear red robes. Zhang Yuxian himself was covered in red, and he was known as the Arhat in Red at the time. All Zhang Yuxian's troops were dressed in bright red, and Lingnan called this troops the Red Lotus Crossing the World Army.
People in this world, as long as they are motivated by profit, may be the same everywhere.
Thinking of the supplies and hoarding in the camp, many people looked at the fire and sighed.
It’s not that no one went to put out the fire, but many people wanted to put out the fire. First of all, the garrison responsible for each city gate, after receiving the orders from the defense envoy one after another, immediately led the patrol training team to go to support.
As for the watchmen on each street, they went from house to house shouting and beating gongs, calling on the young and middle-aged people to come forward to participate in firefighting and rescue supplies.
Except for those people from wealthy and high-profile families, they would not take the initiative to go there without receiving the order from the head of the family. On the other hand, the people who were relatively close to the Xicang Camp hurriedly gathered over almost immediately after the fire broke out.
Although we saw a fire burning in the camp, and it seemed that three large piles of supplies on the side were on fire, no one was allowed to enter. The answer was naturally that the guards in the camp were trying their best to put out the fire. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, even ordinary people who came close obeyed the order.
But what is surprising is that when everyone hurried all the way, there seemed to be a huge crowd of people, but they still couldn't get close. After someone asked, they found out that no one had come to take command, and the guards did not dare to let everyone into the camp.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and people could be heard shouting, but through the ten-foot-high wall, no one could see what was going on inside. However, someone also noticed something was wrong. Except for the dozen or so guards with weapons at the door, it seemed that all the other soldiers guarding here were missing.
When everyone's public sentiment was high, a group of nearly a hundred soldiers came. Although they entered the fire scene of Xicang Camp, more than ten soldiers were added to the door, but the public was not allowed to enter for the time being.
Some people speculated that there might be some important supplies involved in the camp. Although everyone was a little confused and wanted to put out the fire, there was nothing they could do if the soldiers refused to let them go. On the contrary, many people came over to watch. There seemed to be more and more people, but they were still blocked by the defenders.
In a compound not far from the Xicang Camp, in front of a window above an attic, two people were looking at the camp in front of them, which was in flames. Even from a distance of several hundred meters, the firepower still felt overwhelming.
The faces of the three people illuminated by the fire were red. The three people looked at the fire quietly, and there was no sound for a while.
"I don't know what Brother Yan Si thinks!" The man standing on the left is wearing a suit with floral embroidery as the pattern and a black robe as the background. His eyes seem to be dancing with the fire in the distance, with two balls of fiery red flames dancing. flower.
He looked at the man in green clothes in the middle beside him, and as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned to his right. It seems that although I asked the person in the middle, my original intention was to ask the person on the right. His tone was calm, and there didn't seem to be any big fluctuations in his expression.
The man in the middle has a slightly rich face, and his figure also gives off the impression of being extremely rich, typical of a wealthy family. He looked friendly and kind, giving the impression that he was a harmless person.
Hearing the words of the man on his left, he inadvertently showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but this look was immediately covered up by his smile. He still had a deep meaning. He glanced at the man in Xuanyi who was speaking, but he didn't immediately open his mouth to answer him.
The face of the man in black clothes on the left remained unchanged, and he seemed to be looking at the fire in the distance as if nothing had happened. But this rich man looked to his right, where he saw a man in black clothes who was almost half as thin as him, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think, Brother Xiaofu!"
Most of this thin man was almost blocked by this rich man. He was dressed in a simple black robe and it seemed that he would be hard to find in a crowd. Although his appearance is not impressive, it seems that there is no way to block his aura.
Although the two people here were also standing in front of the window and were even taller and richer than him, they bowed slightly in front of this thin man. Dressed in black clothes, he is not a big shot, but looking at his aura, it is obvious that he has always had a certain status. He must have deliberately concealed his appearance and identity.
"If a certain family is not mistaken, everyone has missed the best opportunity to cooperate with Red before. Each family takes itself too seriously, which makes Red feel a little helpless." The man sighed slightly.
The man in black clothes who spoke first had a hint of embarrassment on his face. He was the owner of this house, Cai Qingyun, and he was the boss of Kechang Trading Company, a famous trading firm in Liaocheng Prefecture. In order to gain a foothold in Liaocheng Prefecture, they had contacted the governor Reid many times before. Because they had some background and power, Reid had been trying to win their support.
