After the news about Taiping Dao spread wildly, Zhang Jiao didn't seem to care much about Yu Yi's whereabouts anymore. He spent the whole day thinking about how to expand the congregation, how to bribe the powerful officials in the court, Wan Hua from the city gate, and Ye Xun's heads. It was also unloaded early.
Wei Gang also kept quiet in Julu City because of Wanhua's incident.
On this day, Zhang Jiao summoned his two younger brothers to the county government, held a family meeting, and said to the other two brothers: "Now that our congregation has reached a certain scale, thanks to the care of the immortal, I have been taught The Book of Heaven has given me a foothold in this Julu. The most difficult thing to get now is the people's support. With the widespread spread of Taiping Road, I believe people's voices will become louder and louder. Nowadays, there are natural disasters and the dictatorship of the imperial eunuchs. , Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was fatuous and ignorant, and the people of the world have been suffering from the imperial court for a long time."
"You have also seen my hard work in Julu City. People from all over the world have joined me because of the prestige of Taiping Dao. If we don't take the opportunity to launch an uprising and seize power in the world, we will regret it."
Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao usually don't have any opinions. After learning that Zhang Jiao was planning to plan the world, they were very surprised. However, since brothers had such ambitions, they would not object, so they agreed on the spot.
Zhang Jiao aspires to the world, but his two brothers have no foresight. They just want to be a local king in Julu City with peace of mind, enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and seas, beauties in the world, and live happily.
With the support of his relatives, Zhang Jiao was full of information. That night he contacted the leader of Julu's Taipingdao Phalanx to discuss various details before the uprising and demonstrate the various processes before the uprising. At the same time, they called Julu City. All the tailors asked to make some yellow flags overnight, and then secretly released the information to the backbone of Taipingdao in various places, asking them to make corresponding preparations quickly. After doing so, he and a few trusted senior advisers, together The discussion lasted until midnight, and everything was about preparing for the uprising. They agreed on a good day and prepared to call on Taiping Dao across the country to launch an uprising on that day. Because Taiping Dao believers had the habit of wearing yellow headbands, they called this uprising The uprising was a golden uprising.
In Luoyang, Ma Yuanyi lived up to Zhang Jue's trust and gave him all his money. He also brought the two of them closer. He also discussed Zhang Jue's matters with him. Feng Xu became Zhang Jue's eyes in the court. .
As Taiping Road developed towards Zhongshen, Zhang Jiao felt more and more that Wei Gang and Fang Huafei around him were not easy to use, so he took advantage of his usual preaching time to focus on it and promote some useful talents.
One day, I heard a young man talking. When someone asked him what the Taiping Road was, he replied, "The Taiping Road is the road that will help the world. It will lead the people to happiness, let the tillers have their own land, and make the society good. The society built by Taipingdao is determined by fairness.”
This conversation deeply impressed Zhang Jiao. He went to inquire about the young man afterwards and found out that his name was Tang Zhou. He was not a native of Julu, but a native of Luoyang. He had also recently come here with the Taiping Taoists.
Zhang Jiao thought that Tang Zhou's insights on Taiping Dao were very profound and could be put to use, so he summoned him at the Julu County Yamen. After a conversation, he found that Tang Zhou did have some insights into politics, so he directly sent him to the government. He was accepted as a closed disciple and asked to help him take care of some internal affairs.
In the early days, he was only given some peripheral work. As Tang Zhou's abilities showed, Zhang Jiao became more and more fond of him. Until one time, Zhang Bao went out to hunt in the city and encountered a group of bandits. They were ambushed by them. It was Tang Zhou who worked hard to After killing the enemy and protecting Zhang Baozhou, he broke out of the siege and achieved great success. He truly gained Zhang Jiao's faith and allowed him to handle some confidential work.
In Daoxiang Village, Zhang Minghua led some refugees to surround Yuyi's residence, while Huang Shumin led Tang Lin's army to stand in the middle. The two sides refused to give in, and the situation became more intense, with the potential to take action. Li Qingsheng was caught in the middle, and it was difficult to do anything.
"Yu Yi, you must not go out. These are unruly people. I will lead Tang Lin's army to destroy them."
Huang Shumin heard Yu Yi's request to go out outside the door, and quickly persuaded him, saying that he would immediately start conquering by force.
"You can't help it. Once the fight starts, it's hard to stop."
Li Qingsheng stopped it and could not let the confrontation escalate.
"I have a solution. It doesn't matter. These refugees can't eat me yet. Huang Shumin, please send a louder person from Tang Lin's army to send a message to me, saying that I want to talk to them."
Yuyi shouted something outside.
"Huang Shumin, just listen to Yu Yi. If you really want to take action, it will not be good for everyone."
Li Qingsheng also followed Yu Yi's words and gave advice.
Huang Shumin thought for a moment, calmed down, nodded, and Ye Huantong went to execute it. Ye Fei called out and shouted outside: "Yu Yi will come out and explain in person. Please keep quiet. If anyone takes this opportunity to have other thoughts, don't blame them." Tang Linjun is ruthless."
Ye Fei followed the request and said the last sentence very seriously. After Zhang Minghua heard the shouting, he thought that the civil war in Daoxiang Village was not his wish. He just wanted to drive Yu Yi away, so he agreed to the other party's decision.
So Yu Yi and Zhang Minghua both walked to the front of the team, and they started talking.
"Yu Yi, long time no see. How are you?"
Zhang Minghua looked at the slightly embarrassed Yu Yi and smiled slightly.
"Both, each other, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang still seems to have some prejudice against me. We haven't seen each other for so long. It turns out that what happened today is the reason."
Yu Yi pointed at the refugees behind Zhang Minghua and said something sarcastic.
"You can't blame me for this. If you don't have the leverage in my hands, I won't be able to instigate you."
At this time, Zhang Minghua didn't want to hide it, so he simply said what was in his heart.
"Sure enough, you are hiding a knife behind your smile. You are uneasy and kind-hearted. What do you want?"
Yuyi nodded and directly asked the other party's intention.
Li Qingsheng and Huang Shumin looked at Yu Yi and Zhang Minghua not far away, feeling a little anxious.
"It's okay. We have to trust Yu Yi. He can definitely resolve it. You see they are talking and laughing, right?"
At this time, Lei Chunze also rushed over. After asking about the situation, he comforted everyone.
"It's refreshing. What happened to Zhang Daniu was all caused by you. You will never understand the pain of losing my son. If you hadn't done so much for Daoxiang Village, I would have sought revenge on you."
Zhang Minghua's emotions finally came out.
When Yu Yi caught a glimpse of him, he noticed that there were traces of white hair on his temples, and then he realized that he was actually old. As the saying goes, people with white hair give gifts to people with black hair. As a father, he was indeed very pitiful.
