Chapter 942: Jianzhou White Lotus
As the land of the Jurchens, Jianzhou City can be called a model that does not live up to its name.
The low city walls, cramped layout, and mixed environment of people and animals make it difficult to match its status as the capital of a country, no matter how you look at it.
Especially in the middle of winter and the New Year is approaching, most of the Jurchen people in the city are at home, and most of the people who are running back and forth on the street to make a living are the sons of the Han family and the Goryeo.
This guy in a linen shirt and a bundle of hair on the right side, at first glance, is no different from the county seat of Guannei.
However, every time they meet, they look at each other's embarrassment that their clothes do not cover their bodies, their boots do not avoid the cold, and their faces are tattooed.
Of course, not all of the Han people running around the city are so embarrassed, and there are some people who are well-dressed and full of spirit.
It's just that everyone avoids this kind of goods, and after bypassing it far away, most of them will shamelessly scold a few words.
Yao Anmin is receiving this kind of treatment now.
But unlike those who have long been accustomed to being clothed minions, Yao Anmin is very angry about this.
If you don't rush back to discuss important matters, you will have to grab a few 'slaves' and raise the casserole-sized fist theory.
This way back to the bottom with a sullen breath, Yao Anmin inevitably had some light and no weight on his hands, and smashed the door panel with a bang.
I could hear the long clanging sound inside, and I don't know how many swords were unsheathed, and then someone stuck behind the door and said: "The sky is changed to the Jade Emperor, and the underground is changed to the King of Hades." β
"I have a white lotus in my heart, protect my good home!"
Yao Anmin responded rudely and viciously, and said, "It's me, Yao Anmin." β
There was silence in the room for a long time before the door was slowly opened.
Without waiting for the door to open, Yao Anmin couldn't wait to squeeze in, looked around, and saw an old man in the middle bowing down and reporting: "Deputy Sect Leader Xue, something is wrong!" I just sent those two muskets over today, and before I could say anything, the Jurchens first took a breath, saying that the Dog Emperor had sent an envoy to Jianzhou, probably to reconcile with the Jurchens! β
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I also heard that the envoy sent by the Dog Emperor is none other than the dog thief surnamed Sun!" β
As soon as he heard this, all the 'heroes' around him changed color in an uproar.
As the alliance envoys sent by the White Lotus Sect, they have been in this Jianzhou city for more than a month, but they have not been able to get a definite answer from the Jurchens.
Originally, I thought that the Jurchens were suspicious of the strength of the White Lotus Sect, so Deputy Sect Leader Xue also tried every possible way to get two new-style muskets from Shanhaiguan back, wanting to use them as a clear proof of the White Lotus Sect's soft power.
Who would have thought that the two muskets would be exchanged for such news!
Although Deputy Sect Leader Xue didn't speak, he couldn't help but be angry, and after a long silence, he turned his gaze to the rich scribe beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.
The scribe looked around for a week, and waited until the curses of the crowd subsided slightly, and then said: "In my opinion, this is an opportunity for us, if we can take the opportunity to get rid of the envoy of the Dog Emperor, then the court and the Jurchens will never turn ......around."
"It's easy to say!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "That's Sun Shaozong, the master of seven in and seven out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain!" Just a dozen of us, I'm afraid it's not enough for him to stuff his teeth! β
Although no one around responded, there was no lack of fear on their faces.
Ever since the deputy sect leader Ge Chen led the elite men and horses to the capital to look for the reincarnated saintess, but was touched by Sun Shaozong and cleaned up the nest, the White Lotus Sect has listed him as the focus of attention.
Therefore, the middle and upper backbone of the White Lotus Sect knew even more carefully about Sun Shaozong's deeds of killing in Wuxi Prefecture than the imperial court.
And no matter how rebellious a person is, in the face of such a killing god who has thousands of troops, it is inevitable that he will have the idea of being invincible.
The rich scholar looked around again, and originally wanted to demean Sun Shaozong a few words to boost everyone's morale, but looking at the uneasy ones, I am afraid that it may not have any effect.
So he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Brothers, although the one surnamed Sun is difficult, he will not be the only messenger sent by the Dog Emperor - we only need to design and kill a few famous and surnamed, and it is enough!" β
At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and said: As long as you don't have to face Sun Shaozong, you can go to the water and fire.
However, some people raised objections: "Zhang Xiucai, killing a few irrelevant people will also make it, but at that time, if the Jurchen Tartars turn their faces and deny people, and hand us over to the person surnamed Sun to confess, what should we do?" β
The echoing voices around him suddenly vanished, and they cast questioning glances at the rich scribes again.
That Zhang Xiucai was confident, and said complacently: "I have already planned this matter, we just need to try to lead the water to the east, and we can sit back and relax." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the west.
Everyone was a little baffled, but Yao Anmin, who had been running outside, suddenly realized and blurted out: "You mean those Mongolians?!" β
"Not bad! Exactly those Mongols! β
Zhang Xiucai's posture of pointing out the country, almost played with a lupine scarf: "The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the current power of the Mongols is still above the Jurchens, and they have always been cold and watchful to help each other, if they kill the envoy of the Dog Emperor, will the Jurchens still dare to turn their faces?" β
When everyone heard this, they once again discussed it enthusiastically, and they all felt that this plan was sellableβthe Mongols would certainly not be happy to see the Jurchens make peace with the Great Zhou, and they would try to stop it at that time.
So Deputy Sect Leader Xue immediately decided: "Don't miss the opportunity!" Lord Yao Xiang, you go to the Mongols now, and ...... idea."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a noise outside, as if countless people were shouting in unison.
Deputy Sect Leader Xue frowned and made a look, and immediately someone pushed the door out, looked out a few times through the courtyard wall, and turned back to report: "It seems that there is water on the street." β
Deputy Sect Leader Xue listened for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Let's go and inquire carefully." β
The man received the order, then closed the door with his backhand, and the ghost also touched out of the small courtyard.
Deputy Sect Leader Xue continued the topic just now, and solemnly admonished: "The Mongols have always been rebellious, you must take away your temperament, don't make it backfire." β
After a pause, he regretted again: "It's a pity that the two muskets were given to the Jurchens, otherwise they could have been used as a stepping stone." β
Yao Anmin hurriedly said: "Sect Master, please rest assured, your subordinates must be careless and attentive in front of those Mongols......
"Master!"
As he was talking, the person who had just gone out to inquire about the news suddenly pushed the door in with a pale face, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he said in a deep voice: "It's Wu Qizhi's thirteen-year-old daughter, who is breaking around outside with no clothes - I heard that last night, she was brought to the 'banquet' by the Jurchen nobles together with her mother, and she suffered from dementia because she was humiliated. β
There was silence in the room.
After a long time, someone said astringently: "This ...... How could this be? Isn't Wu Qizhi quite favored by the Jurchen lord and known as the number one mastermind?! β
After the people of the White Lotus Sect arrived in Jianzhou City, they relied on this Wu Qizhi to make contact with the upper echelons of the Jurchens.
There are many people in this room, who are used to seeing him wandering and wandering in front of the Jurchens, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, his wife and daughter would end up like this?
Listening to the news, the man sneered and sneered: "I heard that the Jurchen lord learned about this, and 'heavily' fined that person five hundred taels of silver as a punishment - that is, Wu Qizhi, if he was replaced by an ordinary Han, he would not be treated like this." β
There was silence in the room again, and most of them had thoughts of the death of rabbits and foxes and the sadness of their sorrows.
Among them, Zhang Xiucai is especially important.
Because he was also a scholar, he got along with Wu Qizhi the most, and admired his intelligence the most, and even had the idea of serving the Jurchens and being his second-in-command, who would have thought of ......
Bang~
At this moment, Deputy Sect Leader Xue suddenly scolded angrily: "It is the incompetence of the imperial court and the dog emperor's appeasement and cultivation of adultery that make Hulu Tartar so rampant!" One day, my White Lotus Sect will establish an earthly Buddha kingdom, and I will slaughter these Hulu! β
As he spoke, he secretly made a color to his henchmen on the left and right, and one of them hurriedly raised his arms and whispered in Shaanxi-Gantu dialect: "Establish a Buddha country and kill all the Tartars!" β
"Yes, establish a Buddha kingdom and kill all the Tartars!"
Everyone greeted each other in groups, but they had long forgotten that this Xue Sect Master had just told Yao Anmin that he must grovel in front of the Mongols; I hated not being able to sell the country's sharp weapons to two companies.
