Chapter 116 cover up
Suzhou City, the capital of Suzhou, southeastern Daxia, is also an important city in the southeastern Daxia. It has always been a must-fight place for military strategists.
It was already late at night, and the gates of Suzhou City were closed, and many torches were lit on the walls. The garrison of Suzhou was on duty at the top of the city. Some military generals were patrolling back and forth. Such a scene of strict defense was not seen in Suzhou for many years. If it weren't for the Zoroastrian rebellion, Suzhou would have been calm. However, the soldiers and generals at the top of the city did not dare to be careless at this time. The Zoroastrians are now powerful and claiming to have millions of troops. They have already captured many prefectures and counties. The Zoroastrians are fierce, killing officials and killing big families, rape and plunder. Many of the wealthy families in Suzhou took their families to take refuge in Suzhou City. Although there were garrisons in Suzhou City, they had not passed the battle formation and were unable to fight against the Zoroastrians. They could only rely on the city to hold on and wait for the court to send large troops to rescue.
In the dense forest not far from the gate of Suzhou City, Niu Jinzheng led a cadre to lurk. They came to seize Suzhou City tonight, just waiting for the Zoroastrians in Suzhou City to open the gate.
Niu Jin stared at the torch on the city gate, his eyes full of enthusiasm. As long as he seized the city gate of Suzhou City, he would make great contributions, and his status in Zoroastrianism would be improved again and he would enter the upper level of Zoroastrianism.
After counting the time, Niu Jin left Lingzhou and brought a few brothers out for several years. He thought that he could make a fortune by his own ability, but he encountered a lot of trouble, and almost died several times. However, more than a year ago, he came to work hard, and by chance he became a member of the Zoroastrianism and quickly gained the appreciation of some leaders. Over the past year, Niu Jin's status has been constantly improving. Of course, this is related to his many contributions to the Zoroastrianism. Speaking of which, some of the things Niu Jin did for the Zoroastrianism were often used by some methods of action learned from the brotherhood. At the beginning, Niu Jin looked down on these despicable means, but after personally trying the effectiveness of these means, it has to be said that these means are not on the surface, whether it is the organization of Zoroastrians or against those big and big officials.
Speaking of Brotherhood, Niu Jin often heard rumors about Brotherhood in recent years. He was really surprised by what the Brotherhood did. He originally thought that the boys who had no ambitions rebelled and not only occupied Lingzhou, but also defeated the imperial army several times. He was famous all over the world. When he remembered what he said when he left the Brotherhood, Niu Jin was really unable to see his face. However, whenever he thought of this, he felt a sense of heroism in his heart. He was no worse than the boys of the Brotherhood. He is now the leader of Zoroastrianism. The Brotherhood only occupied Lingzhou, but Zoroastrianism had swept several states. Moreover, Zoroastrianism was ambitious and wanted to establish a new world where everyone had land and everyone had a full meal, so that everyone could bathe in the glory of the Holy Fire.
Niu Jin firmly believed that Zoroastrianism could overthrow the Great Xia, capture the world, and establish a new dynasty. He would also become famous all over the world and keep it in history. One day, he would return to Lingzhou in a grand manner and let the boys of the Brotherhood see their majesty!
"The city is broken!"
Accompanied by a burst of weapons and a shout of killing, the gate of Suzhou City was opened, and some people shouted, and the soldiers on the gate tower and the city wall were panicked.
"Brothers, Ming Zun protects you! Kill!"
Niu Jin shouted, jumped out, led his subordinates to the gate of the city, and then cheered, and Zoroastrians rushed to the gate of Suzhou City like a tide, and rushed into the city. Soon, some houses in Suzhou City ignited a fire, and countless people ran and cried, and shouted and killed. Until dawn, after a night of chaos and fighting, Suzhou City fell into the hands of the Zoroastrianism.
After conquering the important town of Suzhou City, Zoroastrianism completely occupied the territory of Suzhou. The Zoroastrianism rose sharply. At the same time, it obtained a large amount of silver, food, equipment, and weapons. After that, Zoroastrianism captured some cities one after another. The resistance of the imperial garrison was weaker than expected. The successive victory made the senior officials of Zoroastrianism overjoyed, let go of their attacks, and actually captured two state cities in a row. At this point, Zoroastrianism occupied the three states, and after that, Zoroastrianism encountered obstacles.
Although some soldiers and horses mobilized by the court arrived, they were elite soldiers. Besides, some powerful generals led them. The general Zoroastrian team was no match for them at all. After being killed, Zoroastrians would scatter. At the same time, the Zoroastrian soldiers were also attacked by some unknown troops. Later, they learned that it was an army organized by some wealthy families.
After all, Daxia has been in power for so long, and there is still a foundation. Many people are loyal to Daxia. In other words, the interests of these people are bound to Daxia, especially some aristocratic families, who are local emperors, and have been managed for many years and have family heritage. In any family, there are not many martial artists with high martial arts skills. They wear armor and ride war horses and are a general. There are also servants in the family who protect the hospital. They basically know some martial arts skills, and they are soldiers with weapons.
One of the major factors that Zoroastrianism could have swept several states before, causing such a great momentum was that local officials and wealthy families were completely unprepared and caught off guard. Now, they are slowly reacting. Moreover, Zoroastrianism has killed the big families in a large number of ways, which has touched their nerves, united with each other, and gathered strength to fight Zoroastrianism.
Therefore, the soldiers and generals gathered by these wealthy families competed with the Zoroastrian soldiers on the land southeast of the Great Xia, and some outstanding figures made a debut. If it was in peacetime, a person wanted to stand out mainly depends on his family background and various relationships. Many talented people found it difficult to stand out. However, in this situation, these people have the opportunity to show their talents. Just as the senior officials of the Zoroastrian religion were originally some unknown figures, but now the Zoroastrian uprising has shown their talents and is famous all over the world.
Logically speaking, the children of wealthy families seem to have more advantages. They have no worries about food and clothing since childhood and are studying and practicing martial arts. They are naturally stronger than small families or grassroots. However, grassroots are not without advantages. They are early in the world, come into contact with worldly affairs, have a flexible mind, and are not bound by some conventional thinking. As for whom they sue, they will only know after Zhenzhen competes on the battlefield.
Just as the Zoroastrian rebelled, some other states in Daxia also had small-scale uprisings. The Zoroastrian rebellion was like a fuse, and some contradictions accumulated in Daxia broke out one by one, and chaos arose.
At the same time, Lingzhou, located in the southwest of Daxia, is peaceful. The people in Lingzhou have basically adapted to life under the rule of the Brotherhood. They are busy making a living every day. Few people noticed that recently, Lingzhou has come to people from other states one after another. Most of these people are relatives of some captured people. Naturally, they will not receive special treatment. They are treated as ordinary people. Those who abide by the rules are left behind, and those who do not abide by the rules are driven out.
As the territory grows bigger, the Brotherhood's personnel are becoming more and more short of people and soldiers. Most of the captured personnel are young and strong, so they are naturally an excellent source of soldiers. In addition, after being captured, they eat a lot of food every day and engage in physical labor, and some of them will even stimulate the Gangqi. Of course, it is not that the Gangqi is stimulated, the Brotherhood will recruit these people, the premise is that through ideological education, training, selection, assessment, and elimination of some bad elements such as soldiers can become soldiers under the Brotherhood. Xiao Tianlei set the principle that he would rather have nothing than be too much. He did not want a mouse to ruin a pot of soup. He did not see the chaos in Daxia, but he had no idea. He would not mix it up and develop steadily according to the original plan and accumulate strength silently.
Recently, Zhushan Academy has reported some criticisms about the Brotherhood. It is said that the person who speaks is famous. The Brotherhood is short-sighted and difficult to become a great man if you are money-loving, and will sooner or later be ruined. Xiao Tianlei thought they fart and ignored it.
Originally, those who have opinions about brothers would generally be kicked out of Lingzhou. However, firstly, these people are just engaged in academics, and it is not considered a malice to brothers. Secondly, the remarks of these literati are not harmful to the brothers. They can be regarded as a cover for the brothers. They can be regarded as a cover to make others lower their vigilance against the brothers. After all, the Brothers had a lot of limelight a while ago, so they should be low-key. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei just thought about it and talked nonsense. A group of literati argued together all day long, and even if they talked, they could not create a dime value.
Because of the chaos in Daxia recently, what they talked about most is the various disadvantages of Daxia, which are basically all hindsights. Now they pretend to be like prophets. Where did they go before? As for the concept of governing the country they promote, my god! They all think that their own theory of governing the country is the best, but other people's theories are useless, and they are inclusive and do not understand? Do you understand your strengths and weaknesses? Do you really think that your family is the only truth in the world. Only when your mind is stuck in the door will you make trouble for them.
However, the remarks of these famous scholars have been spread to other states through some channels, which has had a significant impact on the entire Daxia capital. As for Lingzhou, there are not many scholars in Lingzhou now, and they are circulated in certain circles, or as a topic of discussion for some people, it has basically no impact on Lingzhou.
As for ordinary people in Lingzhou, what they care most about now is how to do things well and make more money. Lingzhou now has many new things. When they see others have new things, who doesn’t want to have them? But everything has to be spent. Fortunately, there are many opportunities for working in Lingzhou now. As long as you work well, the wages are still good. Therefore, ordinary people do not care about the remarks of famous scholars, and they care more about the new orders of the leader of the Brotherhood. If someone in their family can join the Brotherhood, it would be best.
Nowadays, people in Lingzhou gradually understand the functions of some facilities and institutions established by the Brotherhood. For example, hospitals were originally thought to be pharmacies, but later they learned that they were all miraculous doctors. Some diseases that were originally dead can be cured by the Brotherhood hospitals. However, miraculous doctors of the Brotherhood usually only treat the members of the Brotherhood and their immediate relatives, and others have to look at their luck. Similar to hospitals, the Brotherhood schools only recruit children from Shanyue people and children from fraternity members. The same is true for other institutions, giving priority to the needs of the Brotherhood.
Although the Brotherhood did not say that the members of the Brotherhood were higher than ordinary people, this series of welfare measures made the members of the Brotherhood become the privileged class in Lingzhou in disguise. For these privileges, the people in Lingzhou naturally wanted to join the Brotherhood. It was really difficult to join the Brotherhood. They could only envy, jealousy, and say some bad things in secret, and hope that anyone in their own family could join the Brotherhood, even the most ordinary member.
It is hard for ordinary people in Lingzhou to know that the Brotherhood has already been in the west and has captured a larger territory than Lingzhou, which is exactly when manpower is needed.
For almost all people in Daxia, the areas in the west are barbaric and uncivilized areas have never been well regarded. Those countries have always respected Daxia very much, and are proud to be a vassal state of Daxia, and have been sending people to learn some of the cultures of Daxia. They are basically copying them all. As long as it is from Daxia, it must be a good thing!
Therefore, Daxia advocated Buddhism, and these countries followed suit, established temples of all sizes and provided for many monks. The spread of Buddhism in these countries has indeed played a significant role in the rule of these countries. Many countries have been in a relatively stable state for many years, and the royal family can sit on the throne without having to worry about accepting rebellion at all times.
Originally, as rulers, they borrowed some ideas spread by Buddhism to make the people accept their fate, obey and consolidate their rule. As a result, they believed in it themselves, took those nonsense words to fool people and spent a lot of money on Buddhist affairs, and would be stupid.
There are many Buddhist temples in some countries, and many people go to work, do not farm or work, recite scriptures every day, and wait for others to offer. Therefore, when Zheng Biao and others brought people to fight, some princes and nobles were still holding grand prayer ceremonies to pray for the Buddha's blessing. What did these guys think?
Those temples were plundered and all of them were escorted to slave labor. They were disobedient and punished them hard. As a result, the act of destroying Buddha caused a backlash. The monks called on loyal believers to resist, and those believers also responded to the call and besieged the Brotherhood's army. These people were also fooled by the minds of the Brotherhood. They were so weak that they could force themselves to fight with the Brotherhood's regular army after taking a stick. They just relied on the large number of people that they thought the Brotherhood army would not dare to do anything to them. They threw a few bombs and killed the people in the head, and some of the Friendship, and were immediately scared to death and scattered.
In addition, this time, the Golden Ape Wukong and Thunder, who were given a hero template, were sent here to fight and get game gold coins. Thunder has not grown up yet and is still a little cute. Not to mention, many people were shocked when they saw Wukong's body shape and huge stick, thinking that some monster in the mountains showed their spirits and knelt down to beg for mercy.
The conquest was really unexpected. In many cities, the brotherly army rushed outside the city and surrendered directly, symbolically resisting and not resisting at all.
However, the conquest of the Brotherhood Army slowed down, mainly because they swallowed large areas of land at once, some indigestion, unable to extract enough people to manage and maintain the existing controlled areas, but they did not stop attacking. They just stopped occupying land, but instead attacked some big cities, mainly plundering, plundering food, craftsmen, strange gold, gold, silver and jewelry, etc. These areas are really too rich, and I am sorry for not robbing them.
Xiao Tianlei has been busy with government affairs all day recently, and is a little dizzy and feels a little depressed. He also wants to go to the west to relax. Unfortunately, this time, he cannot participate. The reason why he stayed to stay in Lingzhou is that he personally handles various government affairs, and the other is that he has made a big splash when he takes action many times. He is more concerned now. When he moves, he knows that the Brotherhood must have made some big moves.
Fortunately, when Zheng Biao and others attacked, Xiao Tianlei's system gold coins rose rapidly, which was a bit of psychological comfort, allowing him to finally buy some hero templates that he had always wanted to try. After trying these new hero templates, Xiao Tianlei had some new methods in his hands. To be continued.
