"Yes, we need to pay close attention to changes in the situation. I haven't received any letters from the two Zhong brothers recently. I don't know if they are in trouble."
Li Qingsheng nodded, suddenly remembering that the information had been interrupted for a few days, and raised his doubts.
"Hey, let's deal with the ever-changing situation by staying the same. If I make any mistakes later, please try your best to point them out, even in person."
Li Qingsheng's heartfelt words made Yuyi realize that Daoxiang Village had become centered on him under his subtle influence. To be honest, this kind of personal worship is undesirable, so the necessary reminder is correct.
Just like that, Li Qingsheng left.
The next day, Yu Yi was awakened by shouts outside the house. He rubbed his sleepy eyes. He looked out the window and found a group of people gathered outside. They shouted, "Let Yu Yi get out of Daoxiang Village!"
In Yu Yi's impression, his image in Daoxiang Village has always been majestic. How could any villager ask him to get out? He felt very strange and wanted to go out to find out, but he was blocked in the house by Tang Linjun brought by Huang Shumin.
At this time, Li Qingsheng also came, with an anxious look on his face. Yuyi quickly asked the reason, and then he realized that those villagers were refugees who later moved to Daoxiang Village. Zhang Minghua had always been in charge of the refugee relief work. This time , he actually used the panic of the refugees to attack Yu Yi. After he got the news about Zhang Jiao's strength, he also judged that Daoxiang Village could not compete with it, so he publicized among the refugees that Zhang Jiao and Yu Yi of Daoxiang Village were now mortal enemies and would fight to the death. , Zhang Jiao's Taiping Taoist followers numbered tens of thousands, and they wanted to destroy Daoxiang Village. The hatred is just for Yu Yi. As long as Yu Yi is handed over to Julu City, the crisis will be resolved.
After hearing this, Yu Yi felt that the situation was not good. Since the last time he proposed the plan to attack Julu City, Zhang Minghua had opposed it. Later, after it was changed to a five-year plan, this man has been silent again and has not expressed any opinions until now. , holding back a big move, it was really hard to guard against.
The refugees in Daoxiang Village were very powerful, and almost all of Tang Lin's army had to be dispatched to maintain order.
"Zhang Minghua, what are you going to do? Are you planning to rebel?"
Huang Shumin, who came to maintain stability, shouted to him.
"How could there be a rebellion? If Yu Yi hadn't deliberately provoked a war against Julu City, our villagers in Daoxiang Village would not have rioted, and there would be no trouble today."
Zhang Minghua brought the refugees and spoke righteously, but Huang Shumin was unable to refute.
Yu Yi heard all this and was annoyed in his heart. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the battle against Julu City. It was scientifically planned. Even the expansion of Taiping Road has history to prove it. The problem lies in realizing this The problem was already too late, and the spread was not stopped in time, which led to today's disaster.
"Li Qingsheng, Zhang Minghua is right. I am responsible for this matter. I can no longer be a coward and hide in the house. I want to get out."
Yuyi pointed outside, unable to sit still any longer.
In Julu City, another group of Taiping Dao believers arrived in Julu. There was a man named Ma Yuanyi. The people below tried their best to introduce him, saying that he was an official in a key department of the imperial court and worth making friends with. That night Zhang Jiao made a big gesture. The banquet was specially for Ma Yuanyi.
"Oh, it's our fate that Brother Ma can come to Julu. It's a gift from God. I think how about we become brothers?"
Zhang Jiao randomly pulled strings, and during the exchange of glasses of wine, he narrowed the distance between the two of them.
"Master Zhang is too polite."
Ma Yuanyi actually didn't know Zhang Jiao, but the other party was so enthusiastic that he couldn't offend him.
"I have friends coming from afar, so please forgive me for any lack of hospitality."
Zhang Jiao smiled.
During the banquet, Zhang Jiao found some beauties and danced for fun. He found that Ma Yuanyi had been staring at one of the pretty women. He immediately understood his intention. After the banquet dispersed, he arranged for a fine dining room. Ma Yuanyi was given a guest room to rest, and he called the woman to his side, giving him a lesson and promising him a lot of money. The woman was originally from an ordinary family, and with such a windfall, she was naturally excited, so she readily agreed and did her best to serve Ma Yuanyi that night.
The next day, Ma Yuanyi was busy with official duties and was about to leave. When he was about to die, Zhang Jiao repeatedly asked to stay, but the other party refused. However, he accepted other people's hospitality in vain, so he asked one more question, saying: "Brother Zhang is so welcoming. If there is any use, feel free to comment."
This was what Zhang Jiao was waiting for, but he looked embarrassed and remained speechless.
Now it was Ma Yuanyi's turn to be anxious. He patted his chest and said, "If you have any questions, just say so. Whatever brothers can do, we will definitely do it."
Zhang Jue then showed a smile, looking a little embarrassed, and said: "This matter of mine may not be easy to handle. I know that Brother Ma has some connections in the court and knows some dignitaries. I have been trying to obtain fame, but I can't bear to be born." At the right time, I have a strong desire to become an official, so I asked Brother Ma to help me connect some people. I want to make friends with some people, especially Feng Xu. I would like to thank you in advance."
"Haha, I see, it's a piece of cake."
Ma Yuanyi might show some embarrassment when talking about others, but he still has a good relationship with Feng Xu.
Zhang Jiao smiled secretly and watched Ma Yuanyi ride away.
In fact, Feng Xu was not Zhang Jiao's random talk. He heard it from others. Feng Xu was one of the Ten Constant Attendants. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was mediocre and immoral. The Ten Constant Attendants were the face of the imperial court, and they were the ten officials who held power. As for eunuchs, Zhang Jiao believes that the current Taiping Taoist congregation is not large enough to compete with the imperial court. It is necessary to find some internal agents, try their best to slander, delay the situation, and pass on some available intelligence.
I just happened to meet this Ma Yuanyi. He had a wide range of people, worked in the imperial court, and was familiar with Feng Xu, so he tried every means to make Ma Yuanyi submit, and then looked for opportunities to create bridges.
The second brother of the Zhong family, who was under house arrest, was anxiously stomping around the house. Several times Zhong Ming went out in the name of testing, but was blocked by the officers and soldiers guarding the door. Even if there was no food at home, he would have to leave. It is not allowed to go out to buy. There will be special people to help them purchase it and then send it to the escort agency.
After the number of Taiping Taoists in Julu City increased, the local order became a problem. If Zhang Jiao had not come up with a phalanx management method, Julu City might have been in chaos.
It is said that Fang Huafei had a grudge at the time because he did not understand the spread of the virus. After hearing that Taiping Dao followers appeared in various places and eliminated the virus, he felt relieved. For him, it did not matter who was in charge of Julu City. The important thing is to do it for the people. This is his standard of doing things.
