After passing the water gate, the smoke and waves on both sides of the old Cao River were reflected, and the endless water surface and scenery suddenly became wide and infinite, and we entered the real Yangtze River waters.

It is different from the vast lake's wide waves or the moody near the sea. It contains the spiritual totems of human reproduction and will symbols since ancient times. With the sound and wind of the rumbling and rolling water, it is like a river that is about to carry countless trembling souls, and from then on, it flows eastward.

"The big river comes from the mountains, and the mountains flow eastward."

I stood at the bow of the boat and read such a poem gently.

After the swaying ships along the turbulent riverside, bypassing a piece of land that is obviously lacking care and cultivation, and is cut down in disorder, and grows in a twisted and pictorial artistic feature, we see the so-called Yangzhou City, or Guangling County.

This is the famous Yangzhou City?!, although I have been mentally prepared for a long time.

But I was still disappointed. What I saw was a huge ruin and the common residents living on the ruins.

Could it be that this is Yangzhou, the first wind in the southeast of Yangzhou, which is the most beautiful moon in the world, and the most beautiful moon in the world is Yangzhou", "The spring breeze ten miles on the Yangzhou road, and it is not as good as rolling the pearl curtain", "The dream of Yangzhou for ten years has won the reputation of being a brothel", and Yangzhou is the first wind and moon in the southeast;

It is the Yangzhou where "an old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March" is known as "one step by step, the boat and horse are incredible to see" and the flowers are falling;

The gold-selling cave Yangzhou, which was "a hundred thousand yuan of money, riding a crane to Yangzhou"; the richest place Yangzhou, which was "half the wealth in the world, and the wealth in the southeast is all Yangzhou"; the Yangzhou, which was "life only fits Yangzhou to die, and looks at China on the bright moon bridge" wandered in the homes of countless literati and poets' dreams.

After a huge reality gap between a certain longing and a dream shattered, we still got off the boat. When we stepped on the land, many people seemed to sigh, as if they were putting down something and the long-accumulated worries and concerns.

The local area has prepared in advance, with enough cars and other transportation tools, and our journey with us has ended, or a new journey has just begun.

I also began to bid farewell to the reluctant people one by one. The friendship I developed along the way almost all of them came out to see me off, except for someone who seemed overly stimulating last night and some were broken.

As soon as you go to see off, you have to say a few polite words.

"The trip is over... I'll say goodbye"

I waved my hand.

"The next time I meet, I can only wait for my fate..."

Shi Niang, whose face was still pale, still had a charming charm with the help of others.

"This is a little gift,"

She asked someone to take out a famous post, which was quite similar to the one from Master Liu, but it was even more exquisite. There were several notes inside, but they were all large amounts of flying money, at least three digits.

"I don't know Mr. Xia..."

"Then I will give you a song... It's just a souvenir."

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes."

Then I stood at the bow of the boat, sang and howled a song, which attracted the surrounding boats to look sideways and look up at them.

"The right and wrong, success and failure turn to nothing, the green mountains are still there, the sunset is red several times. The white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are always watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other, and many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing at."

Although the song "The Water Turning in the East" of the River has been made by a time traveler, it can still sing the theme song of the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, "Linjiangxian" by the talented man Yang Chi of the Ming Dynasty, pretending to be vicissitudes and deep.

"Just this song alone is enough to pay the difference."

So Shi Niang couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

"If we hadn't met this chaotic world, we would have been able to sing a good story for a while,"

"Although I can't tell you more, please don't forget the slave's name, name...Shishi"

She suddenly pushed away the maid who was supporting her, approached me and said this, then turned around and left without hesitation

"But I'm looking forward to it even more. I'll meet next time..."

"I'll talk about it if I have time..."

I waved my hand, held my head and squatted onto a small boat that was calling.

After a moment, we carried our light boat slowly backed on the embankment full of water and grass and moss, even if we entered the area of ​​Yangzhou City.

The magnificent city wall of "The street hangs thousands of steps down willows, and the sunset reflects the two cities" no longer exists. It is said to be a masterpiece of the government army after it broke through the city. Most of the fang area in the city disappeared in the ruins was the actions of those Dayun Guangming Sect who fought desperately, the final loyalty and backbone believers.

They sang Jiezi, who sang "Only my bright heart, I will be reborn in the Pure Land", and buried them in flames and smoke together with the official army fighting from house to house. It is said that because the dead's pillows could not be collected, the old city was destroyed and the land was destroyed, and then the Lai people rebuilt their residences above.

Therefore, the Yangzhou I see now is just a general term, not a city name. Most of the villages and towns rebuilt on the ruins of the ruins divide the former site of Yangzhou City into pieces, and almost no original appearance can be seen.

Only one Shuimu and Caohe Wharf remained, which continued to play a role, because it could reach the seaside, so it also became an imported property from the Haifan, and a few publicly distributed places in the inland.

As the largest distribution port and handicraft gathering place in the southeast, it was at its peak and had more than 100 guilds and business groups. Therefore, this was once the area that was most infiltrated and intervened by the Haifan forces.

As a sign that it could not be restored after the destruction, the Fourth and Third Divisions, headed by the Huainan Governor, established since the Taixing reform, were no longer in Yangzhou City, but in Jiangyang, Yangzi, and even Hailing City hundreds of miles away.

After seeing the tragic situation in Yangzhou City, in my memory, the study of this history, as the short revival of Emperor Chongming, overturned half of the world and severely damaged the authority of the court, also emerged.

The so-called Great Cloud Light Cult is named because it is based on the "Great Cloud Light Sutra" designated by the Empress of the Wuzhou period as its fundamental doctrine and combines many local and foreign vassal beliefs.

Regarding the rise and development of the Great Yun Guangming Church, there were also dedicated people in Luodu’s two schools to conduct research and verification. As a historical study, the most common saying I have heard is:

The so-called worship movement that rose up in a corner and swept half of the wall was behind it, and behind it were the promoters and figures of the Haifan princes who had tense relations with the central government of the court. At least they were deliberate indulgences that they were happy to see.

At least at the beginning of the Dayun Guangming Cult's uprising, there was no clear source or statement of the large number of armed forces and materials obtained, and it appeared in the hands of well-trained church members in such a question.

At that time, the contradiction between sea and land had completely intensified. The Haifan forces tried to gain more voice and share in economic affairs and political fields by disrupting the imperial court's financial resources and attacking competitors. After all, the input of various resources in the Haifan had become a major source for maintaining the operation of the imperial court.

However, even the manipulators behind the scenes completely lost control of the situation. Ordinary people who were brought into the riot could no longer tell the difference between Haifan merchants and local local households. The indiscriminate cybers led to the Haifan, which had always been in a serious mood of opposition with the central government and had always been on the wall, took the initiative to send troops to fight inside and outside.

From the perspective of the Southern Dynasties, where I came from, it is a completely different view, and it tends to be more inclined toward a certain mainland conspiracy theory:

In other words, there are people planning and promoting the central government of the court from top to bottom. Through the worship movement, they exclude and eliminate the important financial resources spreading in the southeast, and gradually occupying a dominant position and booming Haifan capital and forces. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the infiltration and understanding of the Dayun Guangming Cult's various levels of government and the innate advantages of such omnipresent.

As a village association that was once acquisitioned by the government, it even spread to the Haifan, causing a lot of turmoil and turmoil.

As far as my predecessor is concerned, it is more related to the background of the rise of the Great Cloud Light Cult. The fundamental reason is likely to be:

The industrial and commercial capital from the overseas vassal slave plantations and the traditional handicraft guilds relying on the economy of the inland landlord manor economy are a kind of concrete manifestation in the fierce competition for the rights of spoken language and economic affairs in the traditional political field of China.

The founder of the Dayun Light Cult, seized the opportunity of this great era and took advantage of the situation and became the target of shocking public criticism in the world.

And the rumors about the remnants of the Dayun Guangming Cult are just because:

The first leader Jing Keshou, the so-called King of Liberty in the Flame Burning City, did not find a confirmed corpse. In addition, the farce "Three Corpse Case" that later provoked the "Three Corpses Case" of the farce that was accused of violating the merits.

After the city was broken, the various departments of the official army sent by the imperial court, the inspector and the Southeast interview envoy sent by the court, and at the same time handed over three bodies, known as the "leader of the thief", Jing Keshou, and a group of old friends from the thief, came to identify and prove their authenticity.

Therefore, since today, there are still news of the Dayun Guangming Sect's banner. It is said that the remnants of believers have been living in danger. Rumors have always believed and leaked the saying that the leader of the Jing Sect did not really die, but was only led by an envoy sent by heaven to avoid going to the paradise of happiness. One day, he will return and build a humanitarian paradise on the earth.

After getting ashore,

As compensation for the loss of transportation, they gave me a painted black Huai horse, carrying luggage and transportation. This horse is short and has thick hooves and feet. It is a relatively common breed among many southern horse series. Its only advantage is its groceries, long-distance resistance, and better adaptability to water town areas.

So the Red Tiger IV was born.

"Why is it called Red Tiger?"

He was squatting with his head on the back of his horse, hugging me from behind and whispered, "I guess she has been bothering this problem for a long time."

"Because this is a special name,..."

I replied with no time to think about it.

"From some kind of auspiciousness, with all kinds of incredible powers and effects,"

"It is said that it can reverse black and white, confuse ancient and modern times, create truth, turn ugly into beautiful, make shameless into nobleness, and make ignorance into erudition,"

"Even the common sense of history, time, space and all things must be distorted or respected by the name."

"So, when used on the journey, it is said that it can turn bad luck into good fortune, seek profit and avoid harm, and when necessary, it can also replace dangers."

In another place, the group of people who had entered the temporary residence and residence also began to prepare and arrange some kind of preparation.

"Does your wife regret it? Just let him go?"

The young manager asked suddenly

"Why do you say this?"

Shi Niang responded calmly.

"If the lady is willing, there is still another way to stay..."

The young manager continued to speak as soon as he changed his tone

"Or it's not acceptable to involve him..."

"Did you ever think he is the kind of person who is willing to threaten and coerce easily?"

Shi Niang looked at him coldly

"Or the other way, forcing a person with resentment and talent to serve us... will it lead to what kind of results will come about for our affairs?"

"We just need to help with our business step by step, and the least necessary is variables."

"That's not that there is no other way..."

Young manager,

"At least with his ability, it is very useful to us..."

"Enough, don't say much..."

"It's finally easy to get here, hurry up and get in touch with people from other roads and get back together..."

"yes.."

"At least, there has been a foreshadowing and affinity."
