Xu Hongru's master is Wang Sen, this Wang Sen is really a legend-

He is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and it stands to reason that with this status, he should go to a place where the government is weak, and the weaker the place, the better, but this person doesn't know what to think, so he went to Beijing to preach. What kind of place is that in Beijing? The brocade clothes are all over the inside and outside of the Beijing Division, and if there is a disturbance in the capital, they will never be able to hide it.

As expected, not long after going to the capital, Wang Sen was arrested.

As the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he was arrested, so naturally he had no good end and was sentenced to death. But not to mention, he is really well-connected, and he actually bribed officials to open up the joints and release people.

As a result, he did not learn his lesson, went to Beijing to preach again, and then was arrested again.

This time he was not so lucky, and died in prison.

Xu Hongru inherited the master's legacy, carefully preached, he is also a capable person, the White Lotus Sect in him and Wang Sen's son of the four shrugged Zhu Zhu Na Na  grin grin

It's good to say in the early stage, after all, when the Hongwu Dynasty and the Jianwen Dynasty were built, the capital was Nanjing. But since the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, Cao Yun has become extremely important. There are millions of people in Beijing, and there are countless dignitaries and nobles in the city, and the daily food consumption of these people is a huge number. It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the output around Beijing, and these grains must come from Caoyun.

It is the grain.

The annual grain transported from Jiangnan to Beijing reached its peak in the Xuande period, reaching 6,740,000 stone in the highest year, and then decreased slightly, but it generally remained around 4 million stone. Of course, through the Grand Canal, it was not only grain that was transported to Beijing, but also silver from Jiangnan to the capital, as well as various specialties of Jiangnan: silk, lacquerware, porcelain, cloth and so on. A Grand Canal, connecting the north and the south, is the transportation lifeline and economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty! It has also created countless prosperous cities along the way - the prosperity of Suzhou and Yangzhou is not unrelated to the canal, and Linqing in Shandong has benefited from a lot of canals, if there is no Grand Canal, how can it become one of the few big cities in the Ming Dynasty with a population of more than one million?

Once the Grand Canal is cut off, the transportation cannot be carried out, and the whole city of Beijing will be hungry!

It's going to be a big mess.

The court was not in a hurry, so it was natural to send a large army to encircle and suppress it.

Although the rebel army was prosperous and anxious, it swept hundreds of miles with the momentum of a prairie fire, but its strength was insufficient after all. They made good progress in the early days, because the imperial court did not take them to heart, and it was impossible for the imperial court to place heavy troops in every place, because there must be places where the defense was weak. But once the imperial court attaches importance to it and mobilizes a large army to prepare for extermination, the strength of the rebel army, compared with the imperial court, is really like an egg hitting a stone.

Whether it is the size, the total number of troops, the individual combat effectiveness, the weapons and equipment, the rebel army is far inferior to the officers and men, and even the command level and tactical tactics of the officers and generals are far inferior.

Not to mention them, even if Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others after them set off such a big momentum and almost swept the world, but for many years after the incident, they still appeared in the form of rogues, and they did not dare to fight tough battles with officers and soldiers. Although they were numerous, as long as they fought a tough battle with the officers and soldiers, they were almost a fiasco, and they were beaten by the officers and soldiers. Although there are a large number of people, most of them are homeless people who are coerced, and their combat effectiveness is really negligible, but it is easy to add to the chaos. It was not until many years later, after years of fighting with the Ming army, that the rebel army finally forged a group of elite soldiers with considerable combat effectiveness, and the Ming Dynasty exhausted its last strength in internal and external difficulties, and the rebel army launched a counterattack.

Therefore, Xu Hongru's defeat is doomed.

In July, the armies of the various routes were defeated successively, and Yuncheng and Juye were lost. Under the unfavorable conditions of the situation, Xu Hongru and others still stuck to Zou County and Teng County to contend with the officials and troops. The Ming army mobilized a large number of officers and troops from Shandong, Beizhili and other places, and surrounded Xu Hongru's army in Teng County. In September, Xu Hongru ran out of food, failed to break through and was captured, and was killed in Beijing in December.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were endless uprisings, but there were not many large-scale ones, and the two White Lotus Sect were both emperors, at least at that time, they could be regarded as shaking the government and the opposition, and they were also famous figures in history.

In the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was a word that made people feel very complicated.

When the poor people in the lower classes heard this, most of them were confused, and a small part were excited, and the powerful officials and eunuchs listened to it, and most of them hated it, but there were exceptions - many officials and wealthy businessmen were actually hidden White Lotus cultists, but no one knew about it.

With such a name of Xuan He, how could Dong Ce be indifferent when he heard it?

It's just that what he didn't expect was Huang Ji's reaction.

Huang Ji didn't look panicked and shocked, he was just in a hurry, it seemed that the three words of the White Lotus Sect did not have a great impact on him. Some surprised, some shocked, but not so intense.

Dong Ce suddenly came back to his senses and suddenly realized that this was in the north of Jin, in the nine-sided land close to the outside of the plug, and where he was was also an out-and-out border stopper!

This is not a prosperous place in the capital.

I'm afraid that the people here are not so unfamiliar with the White Lotus Sect, right? Northern Jin was once a large stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, and the power of the White Lotus Sect was even more influential here.

"Uncle Ji, have you been in contact with White Lotus before?" "I haven't been in contact with it, but I've heard about it from time to time." Huang Ji said in a deep voice: "I know when I was a child, many people believe this, not to mention anything else, there are quite a lot of believers in my mother's village, and it seems that there is still a fragrant master living in their village." Later, after a year and a half, I could hear some news that there was a riot of people, where someone was making trouble, and where there were many White Lotus cultists...... In fact, this thing is quite common, and it's not strange to see a lot, and I don't believe it if I don't have any waves. It's just that I didn't expect to meet them this time. Listening to what he said, Dong Ce couldn't help but be silent.
