Manichaeism's revenge came quickly.
As one of the three major cults in the world, they have sufficient experience in things like rebellion and riots.
So soon, they locked on a goal, and at the same time began to make plans and act.
A turmoil will also start again, and this continent will also start to be turbulent again.
The land of Sanfu has jurisdiction over 56 counties around the capital, divided by Jingzhao, Zuofengyi, and Youfufeng.Due to the backing of the capital, the center of the power of the Great Zhou, not only is the official in charge of it a few grades higher than the officials of the comrades' office, but the prosperity of the place under its rule is even among the thirteen states of the Great Zhou. They can also be regarded as prosperous and outstanding.
And such a prosperous place naturally attracts countless people to come here with their families to seek a living.As a result, this place, which is only the size of three counties, has a population comparable to that of a state, and it is still a state with a population that is medium in size.And with the arrival of these people, under a virtuous circle, the land of Sansuke became more and more prosperous.
Of course, more people are not without disadvantages.
As an important area of Gyeonggi in the past dynasties, due to over-development, the production has been reduced year after year, and the land is barren.To be honest, the food dug out of this land is barely enough to support a county.
But now it is such a land of no more than three counties, and it has a population of almost one state, and this is not counting the capital with a population of several million.Therefore, in fact, the food produced in the Sansuke land has been in a state of insufficient food.
Fortunately, the ancestors also discovered this, so they rejected all opinions and spent a lot of money and manpower to dig a Grand Canal across Yongzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and seven states.
Transporting food from the south to the north, entering the three assistants and reaching the capital, finally, the people under the emperor's feet were not starved and there was no famine.
And just today, on this Grand Canal that spans the land of seven states, another batch of grain was shipped from Jingzhou.And the destination is Sansuke's land.
After the fleet is loaded, it starts to sail directly.
At the same time, in a private room above a restaurant near the Grand Canal.A man in a light blue robe, while sipping fine wine in a glass, looked out the window at the boats on the Grand Canal that were carrying grain going northward along the Grand Canal.
And it was at this time that there was a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, after receiving the consent of the man in blue robe, a man in green shirt pushed the door and walked in, closed the door, and came to his side .
"How is it? Have everyone been arranged?" When the man in blue robe came to the man in blue robe, the man in blue robe spoke first and asked without looking back.
"Going back to the altar master, everything has been properly arranged," the green-clothed man quickly responded in a low voice: "As soon as we get to Shangqiu, we can cooperate with the people of Mingli altar to take down the grain ship directly!"
"Very good," the blue-robed man nodded slightly, responded and said lightly: "The matter was ordered by the subduing demon victorious envoy himself, and you should be aware of the relationship if something goes wrong. Don't say it's you, I'm afraid it's you The altar master... I am afraid that he will also suffer the punishment of nectar."
"Please don't worry, the altar master," the man in the green shirt clearly knew exactly how terrible the punishment of the fly and honey was.So while trembling subconsciously, he quickly replied: "The manpower arranged by the subordinates are all the elites in the altar, each of them is the best in their own way, and I will definitely not let you, the altar master, and Jiang Mosheng disappoint the lord !"
"Very good, Huang Tian and Bai Lian have caused quite a storm before, and now... it's time for me, Holy Mani, to make a move!"
Not to mention the Jingzhou Department, how the blue-robed man quietly waited for the report from the Shangqiu Department.
On the other side, the fleet transporting grain passed through Xuzhou and finally arrived in Yuzhou and Shangqiu.This place close to the Sanfu of Gyeonggi Province is known as the gateway to the east of Henan and the source of the three merchants.
And as the grain transport fleet arrived at Shangqiu, the Manichaeans who had been ambushing there for a long time directly passed the relevant news to the altar master of Mingli Altar.
So soon, under the arrangement of the altar owner.The elites of the Manichaeism Minglitan who had secretly been ordered to gather here long ago, armed with knives and crossbows, hid in the predetermined ambush site by the canal.
As soon as the grain transport ship arrived in this area, the people on board signaled, and they were ready to board the ship directly and kill the grain transport ship.
At midnight, at midnight, the grain ship was fully loaded.The various night watchmen are patrolling the various ships, firstly to prevent fire, and secondly to guard against theft, killing danger in the cradle.
And it was at this time that those who were arranged to board the boat saw that they were about to arrive at the designated area.So they started to act according to the previous agreement, or took the opportunity of saying hello, or sneaked in directly from behind.
Daggers were stained with blood one after another, and corpses with disbelief in their eyes were also hidden in corners by them using themselves as a cover.
Then after the person who might hinder the Manichaeism's actions was dealt with, the Manichaeists on these ships directly used fire as a sign.The flames flashed five times in a row, three times long and two short times, which made the Manichaean congregation of the Minglitan who were ambushing on the bank understand that they had succeeded here, and they and others could act.
"Give it to me." Because this matter is related to their big plan after the Manichaeism, before making the move, the altar master of Mingli finally emphasized: "Remember, if you can keep the food, keep it, if you can't keep it, burn it all , in short, our task is not to let a grain of food into Sansuke, understand?"
"Yes!" Several high-level subordinates naturally understood that the relationship was important, and after a reply, they all directed their subordinates to leave.Take a fast boat with a strong crossbow, and gallop towards the morning grain transport fleet on the canal.
The speed of the small boat was very fast, so in a short while, the journey was more than halfway through. Seeing that it was about to reach the front of the grain transportation fleet, it was about to reach the ship according to the plan.
However, no matter how perfect the plan is, deviations may also occur. It was at this time that a master escort in the fleet happened to leave the warehouse and prepare for some activities.On the spot, he noticed a faint smell of blood around him, and those menacing boats galloping towards the fleet.
Those who can be arranged to guard food are indeed many masters who mix their qualifications and credits.But also, there is no shortage of elites.
And this person who happened to come out happened to be an elite.So he shot decisively on the spot and crushed the boat he was on to death. He clearly saw all of this, but he didn't warn the Manicheans in the slightest.Then, accompanied by a deafening roar, a battle that was supposed to be a surprise attack directly turned into an encounter at night.
The people on the food escort ships were awakened one after another, and they went out of the cabin directly. First, some people were sent to deal with the Manicheans on each ship, and then they adjusted the crossbow arrows and moved the paddle sticks.
Crossbow bolts and fuel tanks smashed towards the direction of the small boats speeding towards this side.
Seeing that the sneak attack had turned into a sabotage attack, the altar master of Mingli Altar thought unluckily and at the same time couldn't help but let out a grinning sound.
It doesn't matter, it's already this distance, no matter how hard the court side struggles, it's just doing useless work!
With the sound of kill, the long knife in his hand was already raised, and a bright light of the knife directly slashed towards the nearest grain ship, which officially blew the general attack of the Manichaeism side.
All of a sudden, those in the Manichaeism Minglitan who were able to let go of their internal qi took action one after another. At the same time, those without this ability also set up crossbow arrows one after another and fired rockets at the direction of the grain transportation fleet.
Chapter 206 The Manichean Plan
The grain transport fleet was robbed, and none of the sergeants with the ship survived.
This can be regarded as a major event that has not happened in decades. I remember that the last time it was 40 years ago, when the first emperor was in power, the White Lotus Sect did this.
Therefore, after the local officials in charge of Shangqiu knew about this time, and sent a fast horse to the capital to report, it immediately caused an uproar in Beijing and made the emperor furious.
After the incident occurred in court, a team of Shenwuwei rode out of the capital on the same day and rushed straight to Shangqiu.
I plan to follow the traces and arrest the group of daring people who dared to attack the official ships and kill the court officers and soldiers, and bring them to justice.
But obviously, this is not easy to do.
After all, as one of the three major cults in the world and an expert in rebellion, Manichaeism has sufficient experience in dealing with the imperial court.
If the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division's network all over the world are still there, the court may be able to win the game in a short time.However, it is a pity that because of Bai Li's attack before, the big net has already been torn to pieces.
In addition, due to the shortage of manpower in the yamen of the Gongwei Division and the Imperial City Division, the emperor is located at the foot of the emperor in line with the three assistants. With him in charge, outsiders must not mess around.Among the three assistants, those who survived the last attack, the guards and Huangchengsi, were sent out.
Those places outside are so high that the emperor is far away, so they need more eyes and ears.
As a result, the area around the capital is actually in a vacuum of surveillance.So unless a miracle happens, otherwise, most of this team of Shenwuwei will return empty-handed.
Don't mention how the team of Shenwuwei will act in Shangqiu.
On the other side, with the robbing of the food fleet, the Manicheans who were lurking in Sansuke also started to act after receiving orders from above.
No, in fact, they had already started to act long before the grain convoy was hijacked.It's just that at that time, their actions were like spring rain, delicate and silent.
But now, it's time for them to officially start to show their hideousness.
"Notice, from now on we will collect grain in full, and at the same time arrange for someone to increase the price of grain," Shang Luo, a refined man in a high-rise compound, stroked his beard, and ordered to his subordinates: " I want to make the price of food in Shangluo and the surrounding area more than triple in the shortest possible time!"
"Yes! Xiangzhu," the subordinate replied.
"In addition, the local officials have to make arrangements," the elegant middle-aged man continued, "Don't let them talk nonsense, understand?"
