Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

In the holy city of Danzhou, King Li Tian sits on the throne in the temple, and Jiang Fenghua stands respectfully beside him.

At this time, King Li Tian carefully reviewed the memorials and worked hard to govern the holy religion.

"Nang Xipi, this group of high-ranking officials are nothing short of useless. All the memorials they submitted were asking me about my health and whether my food tastes good. There is nothing practical at all!"

In fact, many of the territories captured by the White Lotus Sect, such as small villages, towns and counties, may be able to be managed by themselves. But most of the counties and prefectures, to put it bluntly, still have to be managed by the captured officials.

And different management is completely two styles.

In the place managed by the White Lotus Sect, the people's livelihood is indeed poor, and the taxes paid are really low.

The only advantage is probably that in those places, the martial ethics are strong, and the soldiers drawn out are very capable of fighting.

As for the places managed by former Daqian officials, the people's livelihood was not concerned, but the taxes paid were really high. The White Lotus Sect can support nearly a million troops in just four states, all thanks to these counties.

In fact, for King Li Tian, ​​the Holy Cult's military strength is too much now. Almost every protector, hall master, incense master or elder is raising troops, which makes the troops in the holy religion extremely bloated and difficult to control.

Therefore, in the opinion of King Li Tian, ​​in the four states, it is best to raise about 20 soldiers to defend the land, and then raise another [-] to [-] soldiers to attack cities and seize territory, and fight against Daqian.

However, in the past few years, the Holy Temple and the Holy Palace did not deal with it, so they could only continue to expand their strength, resulting in the current situation.

Nowadays, the Holy Temple and the Holy Palace are united due to the incident of the White Lotus Sect's great elder, but it is difficult to eliminate the influence of many years in a short time.

To go a long way, let’s just say that the reason why King Li Tianwang is scolding the officials who have taken refuge is entirely because these officials report good news but not bad news. What they report is either nonsense or good things. It seems that under his rule, King Li Tianwang, the suffering of the people in the world has disappeared. .

In this regard, King Li Tian rose at the end of his career and knew the details of it. It was a pity that he could not replace these officials.

Just like the officials selected by the Holy Religion to govern the place, the place they govern cannot be said to be a mess, but it is almost impossible for the people to live.

And once these people come to play, they will cause a lot of trouble. What about fighting with weapons, the birthday of the Virgin Mary, the birthday of the King of Heaven, the need to increase the number of troops, insufficient food and grass, insufficient weapons and armor, etc.

All in all, it's just a money grab.

It can be said that both governance methods were a huge headache for King Li Tianwang at this time.

To be honest, when people from the White Lotus Sect are used to govern, under the investigation of King Li Tian's spies, many of these people are actually more cruel and greedy than the Daqian officials. There was even an incident where an incense owner beat people to death for three points of land.

But those high-ranking officials who surrendered were not only less greedy, but also extremely diligent and often made decisions for the people, which is completely incredible.

Even when these people hear that other incense masters in the sect have done evil, they will risk their lives to remonstrate and ask him to punish these evildoers.

Therefore, King Li Tian seemed to be scolding the surrendered officials, but it was not clear who he was actually scolding.

In this regard, Jiang Fenghua remained silent.

Not to mention anything else, his foundation now seems to be with King Li Tian, ​​but in fact his real foundation is in the original Holy Palace.

It's a pity that the foundation of the Holy Palace has been destroyed over and over again and is no longer viable. Moreover, after so many years of hiding, he has probably seen some things in the religion clearly.

So since he returned to the church and joined the Holy Palace Temple, he did not try to be kind to those frustrated or proud people in the church, but to befriend those who seemed to be in high positions but were looked down upon by the people in the church. Daqian surrendered to officials.

Although these people can't provide him with any help, at the critical moment, their words may make him go further.

Not only that, these officials stabilized the people's hearts and did a good job in collecting taxes.

To conquer them yourself, you don't need to give them a high position or money. You just need to praise them and support them occasionally, and you can get their gratitude.

Although they are now loyal to King Li Tian, ​​if King Li Tian returns to the Holy Mother, then the one these people support is Jiang Fenghua.

At the same time, his influence in the church was limited to retrieving his original subordinates for resettlement. He did not make too many arrangements and did not give them military power or official positions.

From this point, King Li Tian's wariness against him was also eliminated.

But King Li Tian kept Jiang Fenghua silent and just guarded him. He couldn't help but sigh, and then took out a memorial and handed it to Jiang Fenghua.

"Look, this is information from Changsha County. I believe you should be very interested!"

Jiang Fenghua curiously took it and checked it, then was stunned and screamed.

"Master, is this true?"

King Li Tian heard Jiang Fenghua's surprised voice, looked at him deeply, and then said:

"Of course it's true. Liu Wu of the Han army is the same Liu Wu who wrote Young Huaxia in Jinling. And now he has captured the other half of Changsha County and stationed troops on the border of Huanghe County and Yilan County."

"Besides, how can you, your neighbor who has been sitting with them for so long, not know their strength??"

Jiang Fenghua smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Master, I really didn't expect that when I left, they only had a thousand troops, but no one could have imagined that in less than a year, their troops would expand to [-]." The soldiers and horses captured the entire Hetu Mountain and captured the Changsha dialect family."

"So you didn't expect this?" King Li Tian asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Jiang Fenghua nodded, "According to my understanding of the Han army, they don't like to engage in large-scale wars, so even if they are ambitious, it is not easy to unify Hetu Mountain this year, but I didn't expect that their progress It’s so fast.”

King Li Tian asked again: "Then what do you think of Liu Wu? Can you win him into our holy religion? If so, I can also accept him as a disciple!"

When Jiang Fenghua heard this, his pupils shrank and he said: "Liu Wu seems to be loyal and honest, but he is full of evil in his heart. He talks about benevolence and morality, but in fact he is full of male thieves and female prostitutes. He looks like a green and attractive vegetable. But when you actually enter, you will find that he is just a piece of shit."

"It can be said that this person has deep thoughts and is not a good character."

When Jiang Fenghua said this, King Li Tian couldn't help but turn his head and look at him, his eyes full of suspicion.

It is said that Jiang Fenghua has always been gentle and elegant. Why does he look so hateful when he talks about Liu Wu? ?

However, Li Tianwang did not dwell on it and changed the subject:

"What do you think about the Han army quickly conquering Changsha and not taking the opportunity to attack Huanghe County and Yilan County?"

In response to this, Jiang Fenghua couldn't help but snorted, "As the saying goes, a scholar's rebellion will not happen in ten years. Liu Wu always pays attention to ethics and etiquette in his actions. He always waits for others to provoke him before he fights back. He is destined to achieve nothing. So it is normal for him to be so short-sighted. !”

King Li Tian was very interested in Jiang Fenghua's disparagement of Liu Wu.

"Why do I see Liu Wu differently from yours? In my opinion, Liu Wu is completely absorbing the lessons of my holy religion. Every step is taken step by step to train his own officials."

"If nothing else, let's just say that there is not a single official in Changsha County retained by him. Not only that, Liu Wu also tried these people, and most of those who committed corruption and evil were sentenced to death."

"Moreover, under their rule, from the village chief to the magistrate of a county, they are all staff trained by them, and these people are all members of the Datong Society. In this way, all their rights are extended to the countryside. , completely eliminating the influence of the gentry and landlords, I feel very good!”

Could Jiang Fenghua not know this? Of course he knows, and of course he can see clearly.

It's just that his current situation already represents many landlords and gentry. Besides, I was also a gentry. Even though I was in the White Lotus Sect, deep down in my heart, I was still extremely disgusted with Liu Wu's approach.

And according to the standards of the Han army, let alone him, even King Li Tian would be beheaded on the execution ground.

Therefore, he was naturally unhappy with Liu Wu.

He didn't understand why Li Tianwang admired Liu Wu so much. After all, he didn't believe that Li Tianwang didn't know the inside story.

But King Li Tian said this, and as a disciple he would not object, so he nodded and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that the disciple has misunderstood and has not understood the underlying reasons."

Li Tianwang waved his hand, "No problem, this Liu Wu is someone you should study hard from now on. If you learn his skills, the world of Daqian may belong to our holy sect, and it won't be like this in the past few years. He has been trapped in the three states of Haizhou, Danzhou and Pengzhou, and even got into trouble."

Jiang Fenghua didn't care much about what Li Tianwang said.

"These officers and soldiers in Da Gan, if Master hadn't stayed behind, they would have been annihilated long ago, and they can still be rampant there!!"

After hearing what Jiang Fenghua said, King Li Tian shook his head.

"Fenghua, you are a smart man. You must know that most of the people who have read books and understand things are officials in the court of Daqian. Therefore, if our holy religion wants to fight against Daqian and seize the world, we must Use some stupid people."

"When using these fools, you must never tell them the truth. You must use the faith of the Holy Religion to control them so that they feel that everything they do is right."

"So 'Vacuum Home, Inanimate Mother' is just a slogan. It is actually similar to the so-called Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Lord, Confucius and the like."

\u0027 The Daqian court has been oppressing us poor people, stealing our food and money, and now it is also stealing our women, so we want to rebel and take our food, money, and women back. "

"It's just that these stupid people are too stupid sometimes. It's okay in the early stage, but if the territory expands, we need to use people who have read books and understand reason."

"Although these people are stupid, after early accumulation, they also have strong strength and inconsistent ambitions. This is dangerous, so they need to be weakened."

"Not only that, think about it, this territory is so big and there are so many official positions. These idiots occupy these positions, so what about those people who have read books and are sensible? There is no place for them! So we also have to clean up out of these positions. Do you understand??”

Jiang Fenghua understood that this was what King Li Tian did to weaken the old forces in the religion.

It's just that he understands it, but this kind of thing still makes him somewhat unacceptable.

It's not that he was a good person, but that he had been ostracized like this before, and many of his brothers who followed him had died because of it.

However, he could not refuse King Li's decision, because at least King Li gave those people posthumous honors and did not deliberately slander or belittle them.

This is also the reason why after Jiang Fenghua summoned his old subordinates, he did not allow them to serve in the church.

These people are all his direct descendants, and if they get involved rashly, they may disappear that day.

Besides, it's not like he doesn't have the power of his direct lineage, he just doesn't have the ability to fight.

So he avoided talking about what Li Tianwang mentioned. Besides, this kind of thing was also a good thing for him, and he had no reason to raise objections.

Therefore, he could only turn the topic to Liu Wu: "I generally understand, but I don't understand Liu Wu very well. In my opinion, Liu Wu is indecisive, ambitious and lacking in talent. The reason why he can achieve his current achievements is entirely Rely on the talented people around you.”

"It's just a pity that so many talented people around him have wasted their talents around him!!"

Regarding the capable people and strangers mentioned by Jiang Fenghua, Li Tianwang's eyes were immediately diverted and he asked curiously:

"Who are the talented people around Liu Wu that you can't forget so much?"

Just listen to Jiang Fenghua say: "Liu Wu is surrounded by Lu Shu who is good at internal affairs, Lu Yulin, Feng Guoliang and Pang Chuan who are good at military affairs, and Cheng Huaiyuan who is good at cavalry."

"Among these people, Lu Shu has the talent of a king's assistant. It is because of Lu Shu that Liu Wu can stabilize the situation of the Han army; Lu Yulin has the talent of a general and can easily command an army of tens of thousands; Feng Guoliang and Pang Chuan Although it is a little behind Lu Yulin, it is not that bad. For example, the cavalry trained by Cheng Huaiyuan is even better. At least I have not seen any more elite cavalry in Jiangnan."

After hearing this, King Li Tian felt a little curious, but he was not curious about Lu Shu and others, but curious about Cheng Huaiyuan.

"You said Cheng Huaiyuan is good at cavalry? The trained cavalry is the best in Jiangnan? But why does the intelligence say that Cheng Huaiyuan is the so-called deputy leader of the reform team of the Han army?"

"You have to understand that the leader of this group is Liu Wu. So Cheng Huaiyuan's political ability should be higher than Lu Shu's, right?"

"According to your analysis, this Cheng Huaiyuan should not only be a military prowess, he should be a general and prime minister!!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fenghua nodded: "Yes, that's why I said there are many capable people and strangers around Liu Wu. It took him more than two years to occupy just half of Changsha. County, what is it if it’s not trash?”

"It's amazing. The article is better. But what's the use of the article? There is no shortage of people like this in the world!"

At this time, Li Tianwang became interested and asked: "So you have ideas about these people?"

Jiang Fenghua said: "Yes!"

"What are you going to do?" Li Tianwang asked curiously.

"I signed an agreement with Liu Wu, that is, I will send troops and food, and ask him to help train the army. When the time comes, it will be easy to conquer these people."

Then, Jiang Fenghua gave Li Tianwang details of the transaction with Liu Wu.

"Okay, now that you have reached an agreement, go down and get this done!"

After listening to Jiang Fenghua's words, Li Tianwang gently waved his hand and let him go down.

"Yes!"

Looking at Jiang Fenghua's retreating figure, Li Tianwang stroked his chin and thought carefully.

The conversation just now was very interesting. I don’t know why Jiang Fenghua is somewhat hostile to Liu Wu?

However, Li Tianwang soon discovered the problem, which was the composting technology promoted by Jiang Fenghua.

This stuff is fermented from human or livestock excrement, mixed with branches, leaves, straw and weeds. If applied to the ground, it can greatly increase food production.

He knew this very well. It turned out that Jiang Fenghua definitely didn't know how to do it. He had never seen him use it even in Hetu Mountain. After investigation, this technology was the first to be used by the Han army.

Judging from the angry look on his face towards Liu Wu just now, he was not faking it, and the most outrageous thing he said was the metaphor of green vegetables.

“Did this guy eat compost??”

"It shouldn't be! He shouldn't be that stupid??"

King Li Tian was puzzled, but it was good, at least the two people were not of the same mind.

If Liu Wu can be conquered, then Liu Wu is the best candidate to check and balance Jiang Fenghua.

Then, he picked up a battle report and read it carefully.

This battle report was sent by Bai Lian and Da Qian at the Danzhou battlefield.
