Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During the march to Xingyang, Chen Xiang also used the three hundred light messengers to promote Mingjiao to the entire army.  A small number of magical skills integrated based on the Yi Jin Jing were initially taught to the Sui Army soldiers and the thousands of Wagang Army prisoners who were relatively close to each other, and a Mingjiao missionary group was established, especially to the Wagang Army prisoners.  The Holy Scriptures of Divine Power teach that Mingjiao is a religion that is particularly close to the poor people. Some of its purposes and slogans are based on their psychology and particularly meet their needs. Almost every scripture touches their hearts, and it is naturally easy to follow them.  It spread among the prisoners of the Wagang Army, and they were soon taught to become Mingjiao believers. Some of them were even particularly fanatical, as if they had found a close friend and a guiding light at once, and they became fanatical believers of Mingjiao.  .  Even the captured Wagang Army¡¯s military advisor Shen Luoyan¡¯s beautiful eyes flashed after listening to the scriptures and magical arts of the Ming Cult. It seemed that some thoughts in her heart were touched. Even if she is a cunning fox with a deep mind,  After hearing the purpose of Mingjiao, I was very inclined to Mingjiao, but because I was still a prisoner, I was embarrassed to give in.  Chen Xiang also sent Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling as special envoys to escort Su Su back to Dalongtou Mansion in Xingyang, and at the same time tried to persuade them to surrender.  Such a task was naturally difficult, but Chen Xiang knew that the fortunes of these two boys had improved. Even if they failed, they could still survive, so he sent them boldly.  The officers of the Sui Army at all levels were somewhat disgusted with Mingjiao, because the propaganda and dissemination of Mingjiao would destroy their ability to control ordinary soldiers. However, fortunately, Mingjiao emphasized military discipline while promoting Mingjiao.  Especially the discipline of obeying orders, so in a short period of time, the superior officers' ability to control the lower-level soldiers became stronger, and naturally there was no special resistance.  Within ten days, the Mingjiao General Discipline and the Mingjiao Holy Scripture were each reduced to ten short sentences.  He asked everyone to recite it, and used the bright sacred fire to treat the injuries of the officers and soldiers. He also gained a lot of goodwill and completely took root in this team. Military discipline has been formed, and Chen Xiang was drawn from the Sui army.  The moral character is very good.  A thousand people who had become Mingjiao believers served as the military law team, and he released the prisoners of the Wagang Army who had been brainwashed into Mingjiao believers, especially Shen Luoyan, the Wagang Army's military advisor who had actually been brainwashed.  Chen Xiangli put them back against all objections, and expressed his willingness to pardon the Wagang Army for their rebellion and recruit them.  And they continued to promote Mingjiao within the Wagang Army.  Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Chen Xiang left behind a hundred people of light messengers. Under the leadership of Yang Zizai, he continued to maintain the normal high-pressure operation of the military law team and further improved military discipline. He took the remaining two hundred people with him.  Lightbringer, as well as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.  Bypassing Xingyang where the Wagang Army was located, they sneaked towards Luokoucang at the other end of the Grand Canal, preparing to contact the affairs there.  Xingyang is near Luokou Cang. If the food in Luokou Cang is released, it will probably be enough for the world to eat for half a year. It will certainly be able to meet the needs of the hungry people nearby. If the hungry people are satisfied, they will naturally not invest anymore.  Entering the Wagang Army, it became a plan to drain the fuel from the rebels like the Wagang Army, as long as the Wagang Army could not capture the Luokou Cang.  The situation in the Sui Dynasty will not change badly. As long as the current situation can be stabilized and Chen Xiang and Pei Ju are given enough time, they will be able to refresh politics and wipe out the rebels everywhere.  To re-establish the rule of the Sui Dynasty.  I just don¡¯t know if the officials of Luokou warehouse can really carry out the order to open the warehouse for disaster relief. One of the main purposes why Chen Xiang brought 200 light messengers there is to supervise the implementation of disaster relief matters.  If necessary, you can even get rid of the local ruling forces and pull out a team yourself.  And if the Wagang Army rushes forward and captures Luokou Cang, not only can they obtain a large amount of food, but they can also cut off the Sui court's route back north, which will topple the last domino and make the world more vulnerable to betrayal.  The road to the imperial court is far away.  At least Chen Xiang knew that Li Yuan, the governor of Taiyuan, really made up his mind to betray the Sui Dynasty after Luokou Cang was captured. From then on, he truly laid the foundation for the demise of the Sui Dynasty.  Chen Xiang would never let this scene happen again.  There are three thousand troops stationed in Luokou Granary. From Chen Xiang's perspective, these three thousand troops have loose military discipline and their chief officials are corrupt and incompetent. Almost all of them are secretly selling the grain in the granary and then selling it with silt.  Fill the granary and cover it with three or four feet of grain to get by.  After Chen Xiang sneered, he knew that it would be difficult to urge the officials here to release grain, because they had regarded the empire's grain as their own property.  ? ?Now the world is full of famine, and there are hungry people everywhere. Especially near Luokou Granary, tens of thousands of hungry people have gathered, eager to get a mouthful of food and survive if the empire releases food for disaster relief.  Go down.  And after receiving the news that the empire was providing disaster relief, more hungry people came from all directions, hoping to get a chance to survive in Luokoucang.  Looking at this land, Chen Xiang could see strong resentment and resentment hovering above the sky. It can be seen that such a large amount of negative emotions is the source and food of the apocalyptic dragon energy, which makes the apocalyptic dragon energy continue to increase, and finally  Swallow the entire dynasty.  It seems that in order to alleviate such strong negative emotions, we must use thunderbolt means. However, in this process, we must properly protect the food controlled by these defenders, and do not make those defenders jump over the wall in a hurry and destroy the granary.  It would be really bad if they were all burned or scattered.  After being mentally prepared to have both worlds, Chen Xiang did not hesitate. With the two hundred light messengers led by Ren Woxing, he first recruited a thousand relatively strong young men from the hungry people around him, and pulled them together.  Under his own hands, I conducted preliminary training and memorized all ten lines of military discipline and ten lines of Mingjiao scriptures. I finally had a small team. With this team, I had the ability to quickly control the situation.  Chen Xiang now owns the world of Swordsman Jianghu and the world of Lianchengjue.  Even the world of Diablo is producing food, so there is no problem in feeding such a small team of a thousand people.  Led by the same two hundred people of Light Messenger, basically one person leading five people, Chen Xiang took control of this team in just one day.  The rest is just in the process of daily work, and you can train while doing it.  Early the next morning, Chen Xiang took his edict and Qin Qiong's customs defense letter, and took ten light messengers with superb martial arts skills to the Yamen of Taicang Ling in Luokou Cang.  After handing in the greeting card, I waited quietly.  The other Lightbringers continued to train the thousand newly recruited elites outside.  Before you break up with the imperial defenders, you don¡¯t have to do things too ugly. You still need to have the proper etiquette, otherwise you will become an enemy of the entire system.  This aroused suspicion in the hearts of the defenders and frightened the enemy.  There is inheritance and innovation, this is the safe way, otherwise Chen Xiang would not have the confidence to go against the entire Sui Dynasty bureaucracy.  Not long after, the Taicang Ling opened the middle door and welcomed him very warmly from inside. After seeing Chen Xiang.  After paying homage with great ceremony, he seemed very enthusiastic: "Liu Dexi, a humble official, please see the Imperial Master!" Chen Xiang stood up and looked at the Taicang Ling Liu Dexi. This Liu Dexi was very fat and tall. It was obvious that he  He was originally a powerful military commander, and was once the bodyguard of the faint emperor Yang Guang. He also made several achievements and was a trusted confidant of Yang Guang.  It's just that during this long period of comfort and corruption, he has become so fat. He has obviously become corrupted.  But Chen Xiang didn¡¯t want to hit the smiling man, and he didn¡¯t want to kill them all as soon as he came up, so he still had to pull and hit him.  After all, the warehousemen here are more familiar with the local situation. If you can use them, you can make your plan execute more smoothly.  Moreover, we must prevent them from jumping over the wall and setting fire to the food, which is the worst possible outcome.  After Chen Xiang waited for Liu Dexi to finish his salute, he helped him up and said with a smile: "Master Liu, you are so polite. I came here this time according to your Majesty's order to open a warehouse to release grain, provide relief to the victims, and at the same time promote the state religion.  , I hope Mr. Liu can cooperate well, and together we can implement His Majesty's will!" Liu Dexi did not expect that Chen Xiang would explain his intention straight to the point when he came up. He was also stunned at the moment, and raised his head in surprise, looking at Chen Xiang.  I saw that Chen Xiang had a face like a crown jade, eyes like cold stars, and two heroic eyebrows like sharp blades. He looked very heroic, and he also had an irresistible charm on his body, which made Liu Dexi's heart  After a moment of trance, he seemed to think that it would be a good idea to just follow the advice of this so-called national master.  After being stunned for a moment, Liu Dexi stretched out his hand and said, "The Imperial Preceptor is absolutely right! Since it is His Majesty's order, we, as ministers, must certainly complete it. We also invite the Imperial Preceptor to come inside and speak." Chen Xiang didn't do anything either.  Hypocritical, he followed Liu Dexi and led his ten light messengers forward and entered the yamen.  After the two of them sat down, Liu Dexi also presented some of his gifts. Chen Xiang looked at them and found that they were not valuable, so he simply accepted them.  When Liu Dexi saw that Chen Xiang accepted the gift, he relaxed his guard even more and began to discuss with Chen Xiang. During this period, he was even more upset. When talking about various difficulties, Chen Xiang also responded one by one, as if he understood very well.  , but His Majesty¡¯s order had to be carried out, so the two parties reached an agreement, which was nominally carried out in full compliance with His Majesty¡¯s will, but in fact??Discounts are implemented, and grain is released, but it is not completely liberalized.  With this attitude, it¡¯s enough. The wounds are opened bit by bit. If you want to fully master the form of Luokou Cang, you have to do it bit by bit.  After Chen Xiang fully grasped the situation, it was not Liu Dexi who had the final say.  The two parties had a great time as the guests of honor, and held a banquet in the evening. Camps were allocated for the thousand people led by Chen Xiang, and grain and grass supplies were provided, so that Chen Xiang successfully planted nails in Luokou warehouse.  That night, Liu Dexi also provided two beautiful and coquettish dancers, but they were coldly rejected by Fu Junma who was next to Chen Xiang.  The next day, Chen Xiang, under the leadership of Liu Dexi, inspected the Luokou warehouse and roughly understood the situation of the Luokou warehouse. Then, with the cooperation of Liu Dexi, he ordered his men to open the warehouse and inspect a few tons of grain.  The warehouse was full of good food. Regarding this, Chen Xiang also comforted Liu Dexi and said that he would naturally praise His Majesty again when he saw him again.  Liu Dexi was very happy to ask the emperor to increase his official position.  In the afternoon, under the leadership of Chen Xiang, ten porridge sheds were set up and began to open for disaster relief.  And when every disaster victim receives porridge and rice.  People who give porridge will be asked to recite the ten-line version of Mingjiao scriptures once. Whoever recites it quickly and smoothly can get the porridge and rice first, making these ten-line Mingjiao scriptures quickly spread among the refugees.  .  What can ten porridge shacks do?  It's just that the thunder is loud but the rain is small, in the face of hundreds of thousands of hungry people.  It can't solve any problem at all, but Chen Xiang doesn't care so much, as long as he starts, no one can stop him.  These ten porridge sheds are not just for giving out porridge and rice, but also for picking out strong and capable people and bringing them into the military camp.  Every time three hundred people are collected, they will be led by a light messenger, with fifteen strong men collected previously as deputies, to receive and train these three hundred refugees, and ask Liu Dexi to provide enough food and grass to support the military camp.  And those ten porridge sheds only provide the old, weak, sick and disabled with enough food to keep them from starving to death.  In one day, Chen Xiang gathered 3,000 people into the camp.  Although Liu Dexi found this a bit surprising, he could accept it. Luokou Granary was a huge granary that could supply the entire empire. The supplies for these three thousand people could only be regarded as drizzle.  During this process, Chen Xiang also berated a dozen local defenders and asked Liu Dexi to take charge of the discipline to avoid any unpleasantness between the two parties.  Liu Dexi also hoped that the Imperial Master would put in a good word for him and transfer him from this warehouse that the thieves wanted to seize. Naturally, he was willing to listen to Chen Xiang's advice and strictly control his subordinates.  No trouble is allowed.  On the third day, Chen Xiang suggested that his own people help the defenders work to repay their kindness and make up for the rift caused by belittling the soldiers yesterday.  Liu Dexi thought that it was indeed very difficult to control those three thousand refugees.  Helping with some work wouldn't be considered a waste of food, so I agreed.  At the same time, Chen Xiang recruited another 3,000 refugees, also with Light Messenger as the captain. They trained in the morning and helped the local defenders in the afternoon.  By the tenth day, all the defenders had more than five refugee soldiers to help them work, and the situation in Luokou Cang was completely in Chen Xiang's hands.  On the morning of the eleventh day, Chen Xiang suddenly took action, ordered all the troops to take action, and arrested all the defenders. At this time, Chen Xiang already had 15,000 refugee soldiers under his command.  , although he lacks training, he has the core of the Lightbringer, and he can barely command it.  Liu Dexi was shocked by this shocking news early in the morning. He hurried to the campus where the defenders were tied up, wanting to see what the so-called Imperial Master Chen Xiang wanted to do!  You must know that Liu Dexi has been colluding with these defenders over the years, guarding and stealing from others, and has committed many dirty tricks. If these defenders betray him again, his future will be over!  Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the school grounds, he was arrested by Chen Xiang and said, "Mr. Liu, you are already late. All your crimes have been exposed." After saying that, Chen Xiang set up a high platform.  Originally, all the public officials in Luokoucang were tied up and held on a high platform. Then, in front of all the refugees, a public trial was started. The facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive. Soon, the defenders of 3,000 people  More than 500 people were sentenced to death, including Liu Dexi.  Others were all tortured one by one according to the Sui Dynasty laws.  After the trial, in front of the refugees, the heads of those sentenced to death were cut off. The bright red blood and rolling heads immediately vented all the resentment and dissatisfaction in the hearts of the refugees. Countless people  Screaming crazily and wailing loudly, it seemed that he was begging his deceased relatives to come and witness the fate of these corrupt officials.  At this time, Chen Xiang looked at the many refugees again.It was discovered that most of the negative energy and destiny they had formed had been evacuated under these more than 500 heads, and the people's hearts and minds were temporarily restored almost instantly.  It seems that killing corrupt officials is the best way to gain public support.  After completely taking control of Luokou Cang, Chen Xiang gathered all the wealth collected by the defenders and prepared it as start-up funds for other subsequent plans.  What he didn't expect was that these defenders actually hoarded a very large amount of wealth. A rough estimate was that there were five thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver!  !  That¡¯s almost a year¡¯s worth of taxes for a state!  After completely clearing out these defenders, Chen Xiang commanded 15,000 people to maintain order, opened 300 porridge sheds, and recruited a large number of young people to reorganize the warehouses, strengthen fire prevention measures, and restore the warehouses that were originally much slack.  Management has been strengthened again.  The current Mingjiao has formed a very strict organizational structure, and is strictly managed with military discipline. It appears to be very orderly, and there is no case of self-defense and self-stealing. The management of Luokou warehouse is much better than that of the original regular army.  Every morning and evening, Chen Xiang would sit on the high tower and lead everyone to recite Mingjiao scriptures. Under the influence of his powerful Peach Blossom Succubus Art and the innate mass guidance of Mingjiao, the special spread of Mingjiao  Come on, in just a few days, the area around Luokou Cang is already full of Mingjiao believers.  They also recruited refugees to reclaim some nearby land, and built many water conservancy facilities without any trouble. The purpose was to find something for the refugees to do, and to reward them with food as payment.  Most of these refugees are from the north.  The imperial court's three expeditions to Goryeo were defeated and returned. Later, the Turkic troops marched southward. The persecuted Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had to look southward in a hurry. This is why the Sui Dynasty's court continues to decline and even perish today, which also makes those who were originally  People who had lived in the north for a long time fled in large numbers, causing this refugee wave.  Later, the Turks established two or three puppet Han regimes in the north, and indeed some climate was formed.  At this time, Chen Xiang faced these refugees who had left their homes and left their northern homeland.  However, there was not much free land near Luokou, and it was impossible to accommodate so many refugees. Chen Xiang had to recruit a large number of soldiers again, and began to train troops near Luokou warehouse, regardless of the lack of weapons and equipment.  Using wooden sticks and other things to train, he directly recruited an army of 250,000 people. There were still 600,000 to 700,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left. Chen Xiang also organized them and began to study the classics of Mingjiao.  Military discipline made them all believers of Mingjiao, and most of them were trained in common sense such as blacksmiths, craftsmen, and commerce. They began to thrive here in Luokou, using the property of the defenders confiscated by Chen Xiang as their capital, and manufacturing and commerce as their own.  A way to make a living.  In this way, with the support of Chen Xiang's thunderous methods and the abundant food and grass in Luokou warehouse, nearly one million refugees in the north were completely absorbed by him, and he even gathered an army of 250,000 people.  , thus solving the hidden danger and gaining strength. However, in this way, the northern provinces that originally relied on Luokou warehouse for food supply began to see a substantial increase in food prices.  Chen Xiang sent the newly formed caravans around to sell the grain in Luokou warehouse, and then exchanged the money for some local specialties. This not only strengthened the caravans, formed trade routes, but also stabilized the price of grains.  This allows the North to maintain a stable situation.  If the opportunity is right, we will seize every opportunity to spread Mingjiao, develop believers, increase influence, and form a new public base and information sources.  A month later, Chen Xiang was still training troops in Luokoucang. At the same time, he also received news that Qin Qiong's troops were in place. He mixed Qin Qiong's 10,000 troops with his own 250,000 troops and resumed training together.  , and strengthen the influence of Mingjiao and strengthen ideological control.  At the same time, in Jiangdu City, Pei Ju has taken over the position of prime minister, fully won over the support of the Dugu Clan, Yuwen Clan and other powerful people, and also attracted some people from the Demon Sect to join the court, gaining support, and because he will urge  The emperor returned to the court and won the support of the officers and soldiers in Guanzhong. He relied on the support of Du Fuwei, Li Jing, Yue Buqun and other civil and military generals to stabilize the government, properly arranged the officers and soldiers who were nostalgic for Jiangnan, and fully absorbed the people of Jiangnan.  Powerful men from all over the country commanded an army of 500,000 people and began to march north slowly, preparing to return to the court.  Almost everyone in the world is paying attention to this matter. If Yang Guang can successfully return to Chang'an City, then the hearts of the powerful people in the world will be a little more stable and they will not rebel and rebel. But if Yang Guang is actually killed by Wagang  If the army is blocked and cannot return to the north, then the world's powerful powers will take advantage of the situation and completely overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty!
