The Qingzhou White Lotus Sect's confrontation with the imperial court shocked the Ming Dynasty. Although it ended in failure, the prestige of the Buddha Mother was thus established. This is also the reason why Mother Buddha summoned the leaders of the White Lotus Sect from all over the country, and everyone took the risk.
Lu Cheng looked at the Buddha Mother. She looked like a field woman. She had no beauty or figure, but she had great skills, superb swordsmanship and extraordinary wisdom. She first showed her talents during the meeting in Kaifeng many years ago. In less than ten years, she had become the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong and Henan, and had done such great things as Qingzhou.
As for Wang Jingang, he defended the Buddha Mother both inside and outside his words. Although this person succeeded Wang Jingang Nu and controlled the Shaanxi Bailian sect, but if you think about it carefully, he is just a servant of the Buddha Mother.
A woman is in charge of the White Lotus Congregation in three provinces. What a terrifying person she is.
If you can't afford to offend me, just listen to it.
Lu Cheng asked people to sweep away the mess on the ground and arranged the food and wine for the Buddha Mother again: "I heard that the secret soldiers of the capital were discovered. I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself. What else can he do at this time?"
The Mother Buddha poured a glass of wine and drank it like a man: "Behind us are the poor people, and behind the ancient and modern are the gentry and nobles. Only by joining forces with him can we become stronger. Now ancient and modern need us to make some moves to provide him with action. cover."
Yu Chou's mother took a sip of wine and found it tasted bad again, so she spat it out: "Don't underestimate the power of the Security Bureau. These people are like wolves. Once they find a flaw, they will bite to the end. Although the identities of ancient and modern people are secret, we also We don’t know, but the passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names. He is always moving, and sooner or later he will be discovered. Once we are completely tied to the past and present, when he fails, it will be the moment of our destruction."
The Buddha Mother nodded calmly and said easily: "I know, so we need to borrow the hands of ancient and modern people to truly open up a land of bliss that belongs to our White Lotus Sect."
"Using ancient and modern times? Aren't you afraid of being backlashed by him?"
Han Tianfu was surprised and asked.
The Buddha's Mother disagreed and said: "The reason why King Zhu Shu of Qi rebelled was related to the information provided by Gu and Jin. If he hadn't said that Zhu Yunwen was seriously ill and was in danger of death and was unable to save his life, and he had to do great things, how could Zhu Shu have been in such a hurry? He sent troops and ended up being hated beyond the Yangtze River. Zhu Shu told us with his life that people like this in ancient and modern times are not completely reliable. We are people of the White Lotus Sect. The basis of everything is naturally to consider the future of the White Lotus Sect, not his future in the past and present!"
Father Han took a deep breath, but he didn't expect Mother Buddha to be so bold.
But having said that, the White Lotus Sect and Gujin are really just using each other. The White Lotus Sect needs the information, relationships and resources provided by Gujin, and Gujin needs the power of the White Lotus Sect.
"how do you want to do it?"
Lu Cheng asked.
The Buddha Mother said confidently: "Simple, take away the money from ancient and modern times, and we will build a White Lotus Buddha Kingdom ourselves."
"White Lotus Buddha Country?"
Qi Cheng, Han Tianfu, Yu Chou's mother and others were extremely shocked.
Although everyone claims to believe in the White Lotus Sect and respect Maitreya, in the final analysis, few of them really want Maitreya Buddha to fall from the sky, take his place, and rule countless believers.
The so-called White Lotus Faith and Maitreya Salvation are just a sign. Only if you show your tricks and make a loud noise will these stupid people follow you.
If someone really appears suddenly and stands in front of them and says, I am Maitreya Buddha from Simeon and I am here to save you. Give all the believers to me and you can become a believer.
The Maitreya Buddha probably came from the west and returned to the west without even taking half an hour's rest in between.
Now the Buddha Mother actually wants to found a country, which is a bit scary.
At present, the Ming Dynasty's national power is booming. A year ago, Annan was defeated and the army was lost. Not long ago, the Tatars were forced to move. Duoyanwei signed the surrender document again, and Wala did not dare to look around.
And all of this was done without the use of any Beijing troops. One was a war led by Guangxi Dusi, and the other was a war led by Beiping Dusi and Daning Dusi.
But everyone knows that the current Beijing army has set up two and three major battalions with extraordinary combat power. Foreign enemies have been suppressed and dare not come. Are you, Buddha Mother, too arrogant? Wanting to establish a country is just a daydream. .
There are so many believers in Qingzhou, how long have they been guarding, and they are still facing the soldiers and horses of the Shandong capital. Once the imperial soldiers and horses intervene, how many believers will not be crushed?
Yu Chou's mother chuckled twice, shook her head and said: "Buddha Mother, it's not that I look down on you, but the White Lotus Buddha Kingdom is simply not realistic. When Han Shantong and Liu Futong revolted, our White Lotus Sect had hope of establishing a country, but it's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang The captured people eventually betrayed the White Lotus Sect. At present, the Ming Dynasty has decided, the people live in peace, there are no major disasters internally, and there are no major enemies externally. The opportunity to build a country has been lost. The only plan now is to wait for the opportunity. "
Han Tianfu agreed with Yu Chou's mother's point of view and said: "The White Lotus Buddha Kingdom is just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, which cannot be fished for. Even if we force an uprising, the people may not be willing to follow us."
Wang Jingang looked at Han Tianfu. His White Lotus sect was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was the richest area, but it was also the weakest force among the White Lotus sect. According to Mother Buddha's guess, Han Tianfu only had the most followers. Thousands, but those who can really influence and are willing to follow him to death are probably very few.
The reason is very simple. As long as the people of Jiangnan don't mess with taxes and the government doesn't mess with them, they can live a better life than other people. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to raise their heads and rebel.
As long as they have some chance of survival, they will not engage in rebellion and seek death.
Mother Buddha smiled and said: "Yes, it is impossible to found a country in the Ming Dynasty, but who said we must be in the Ming Dynasty?"
"If it's not Daming, where is it?"
Qi Cheng was even more surprised.
The Buddha Mother looked at everyone with sharp eyes and uttered two words: "Ryukyu."
For a moment, no one spoke.
People who can sit here, although they have never been abroad, still know where Ryukyu is. It is an island on the opposite coast of Fujian. Although there is a sea in the middle, it seems, I heard, that it is not very wide.
It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, people used small wooden rafts to cross the river, and during the Song Dynasty, many small sailboats also passed by.
It's just that Ryukyu is on the other side of the sea, and the White Lotus cultists are on this side of the sea.
The Mother Buddha looked at the silent crowd and said seriously: "I have received news that Ryukyu Island has lush plants and rich aquatic products, making it suitable for living. The most important thing is that the three Ryukyu Kingdoms have less than 100,000 people and only a few thousand troops. As long as we cross the sea in one fell swoop, Ryukyu will become our country.”
Lu Cheng shook his head solemnly: "This plan is not feasible. Although the Three Ryukyu Kingdoms are weak, they are vassals of the Ming Dynasty. Once the news leaks out and the Ming Dynasty sends troops, we will be completely trapped on the island. With the combat power of the Ming Dynasty Navy, We have no physiology."
Han Tianfu was even more contemptuous. Mother Buddha's idea was too whimsical. Going to Ryukyu? It's better to play ball and go home to farm. As for that strait, although people said that you could float across it by grabbing a piece of wood, they didn't say that a hundred people went there, and ninety-nine died.
Even if you have a boat, if you go to someone else's territory and want to be the king of the mountain, how can you get along without any mass base? Are you going to plant the land yourself, pick the fruits yourself, and live like a savage?
Don't do it, definitely don't do it.
Seeing the opposition from everyone, the Buddha Mother said: "Now the security bureau is pressing harder and extending its hands to the countryside. How long do you think we can maintain our power?"
Han Tianfu was not frightened by Buddha Mother, but said bluntly: "Even if we change our name and move to another place, we will not go to Ryukyu to establish a country. Buddha Mother, this idea is too risky."
Yu Chou's mother nodded repeatedly, and Lu Cheng and others also expressed their attitude with silence. Even Wang Jingang didn't say anything at this moment.
Mother Buddha looked at the crowd. They were not people who wanted to achieve great things. They only wanted to be rich and content, which was enough, and they would live on. But the White Lotus Sect cannot do this. Only when this fire is completely ignited can this land and mountains be changed!
However, the Ming court's oppression on the White Lotus Sect is getting stronger and stronger. If you continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty, your foundation will be dug out sooner or later. Now, schools are being established in Beizhili, Shandong, Henan and other places. This is not good news for the White Lotus Sect.
Once the children of the common people are assimilated by the imperial court and become members of the imperial court, in ten or twenty years, the White Lotus Sect will no longer have a foundation. Those smart people and those with some ability will be trapped by the court and become its minions!
Moving location, waiting dormantly, recuperating and recuperating, this is the only way for the White Lotus Sect to become stronger and the only way for the White Lotus Buddha Kingdom to prosper!
Ryukyu is an opportunity for the White Lotus Sect.
Mother Buddha believes in her own abilities and the abilities of her followers. As long as there is a ship out to sea, no one will be able to stop her!
As for the boat, it's not a problem.
The coastal shipping industry is booming, the city's shipping department is about to reopen, and people will go to sea not far away. Under such circumstances, plotting Ryukyu is not a fantasy! Of course, in order to put down roots there, one needs a fortune. And this wealth needs to be taken away from the hands of ancient and modern people.
The meeting lasted until midnight, but there was no result.
The Buddha Mother was tired and signaled everyone to rest and discuss it tomorrow. But at this moment, there was a knock on the door and everyone stood up in shock.
A faint voice came from outside the door: "Buddha Mother, the security bureau went to Wang Yuanwai's home."
Mother Buddha walked to the door and replied in a low voice: "We will give the Security Bureau two locations tomorrow. It will take some time for us to hold meetings. Don't let them disturb us. If there is nothing important, don't come to the west wing."
"good."
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
Han Tianfu swallowed, a little scared: "The Security Bureau is really powerful, but I just gave them a flaw, and they took advantage of it."
The Buddha's mother smiled at the corner of her mouth: "The person here is Liu Changge, the former commander of the Security Bureau. This person may seem rude, but in fact he is very attentive. Prince Ning was so watched by him in Daning that he did not dare to move at all. If it weren't for his eagle eyes Keep an eye on it, King Ning may not stand on the side of ancient and modern times, but it’s a pity that if King Ning rises up, the destructive power will be far greater than that of King Qi, and we, the White Lotus Sect, still have a chance.”
