Chapter 585 The Secret of Manichaeism

He went straight to the granary with one hand, which was indeed cruel enough!

Wei Renpu couldn't help but be anxious. There was a plague in the city now, and so many refugees were not completely disbanded. If there was no food and people's hearts were fluctuating, it might really make the traitor succeed.

"Champion Hou! Look?" Old Wei couldn't help asking.

Ye Hua remained silent and smiled indifferently, "Grandpa Wei, how big a few thieves can cause? Let's relax."

Old Wei groaned, "Marty, the saint handed over Jinling to you and me. Now the safety of Jinling is not only a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but also related to Your Majesty's personal expedition. If the retreat is cut off, the 300,000 army will be dangerous!"

Ye Hua nodded with a smile, "Mr. Wei is worried about Your Majesty. Of course I know. Please rest assured. I am more worried than anyone else. But now we cannot dance with our opponents. We will passively deal with them no matter how they make moves. In that way, we will only fall into a disadvantage and be plotted by the enemy. We must take the initiative in the war."

"Can I not understand this principle?" Wei Renpu said in a deep voice: "The question now is who is instigating the riot? Sun Sheng said it was the Xie family, but I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either." Ye Hua smiled and said, "It is very difficult to find a black hand in a hurry. But why don't we change our thinking?"

"What kind of thinking?" Wei Renpu said curiously.

"Grandpa Wei, what is the most important thing to eliminate these fancy methods? If you want to shake Jinling?"

"Of course it's military power!" Wei Renpu simply said: "If the millions of people in Jinling are not given enough military power, how can we seize the city?" Old Wei blurted out and slapped his forehead suddenly!

"Oh, I'm really confused!" Wei Renpu immediately understood what Ye Hua meant. What attacks the granary was simply a bluff to distract them.

Chai Rong personally led the army and took away most of the surrendered soldiers and generals. Although there were not many people in Jinling at present, the direct imperial guards of the Great Zhou still had an advantage in numbers, let alone combat effectiveness.

In this case, the rebellion cannot succeed in any way.

So to succeed, you must find enough people.

Are there any soldiers around Jinling?

There is really!

That is the original Yangtze River Navy!

After Li Hongji tried his best to expand, the Yangtze River Navy's troops once approached 100,000.

A lot of losses were lost in the battle and was incorporated by the Great Zhou, but there were still 30,000 to 50,000.

After entering Jinling, the Great Zhou Navy was upgraded to the Royal Navy. Ren Tianxing selected a group of strong large ships, giant ships that could withstand the wind and waves, and went on an expedition to Annan.

As for some small lucky boats, sand boats and sampans, they were all left in Jinling, and there were almost more than 30,000 navy troops stationed in the Qinhuai River area.

Originally, the navy should have been dismissed and land was granted to them, so that they could go home and live and work in peace.

However, the Great Zhou lacked excellent navy, not only did there be no generals, but also no sailors, so the Yangtze River Navy was temporarily retained and waited to extract available talents from it in the future.

Time was too hasty and there was no time to resolve the rebellion.

"Anyway, we must first stabilize the navy!"

Wei Renpu finally found the problem, "Marty, please send someone quickly!"

Ye Hua smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, a few days ago, I asked Chen Shi to monitor the Yangtze River Navy and had just sent the order."

Old Wei took a deep breath, and his heart, which was once in his throat, fell a lot.

Although Ye Hua is so smart that it is annoying, he is still very powerful at critical moments. He can think of things that others cannot think of, make arrangements in advance, and start early.

Standing with him, at least this life will not be in danger...

Now for Ye Hua and Lao Wei, the most important thing is to stabilize their position, respond calmly, and then find out the black hands that instigated the rebellion as soon as possible and eliminate the root cause.

However, they had too little information in their hands, which was impossible. Who made the Great Zhou occupy Jiangnan for a few months? Even if they had great magical powers, they could not be able to cover everything in such a short time.

"I still have to go and interrogate Sun Sheng!"

The two of them came to the prison together. At this time, Sun Sheng and his family were all imprisoned.

Mr. Sun, who has always been pampered, was locked up in a dark, damp, cold, foul-smelling, narrow and dirty prison, and was in a bad mood.

His hair was disheveled, as if he was crazy, and he kept slashing, as if every inch of his skin was itchy. He grabbed it hard, and in a few strokes, he bleeded, and instead became even more uncomfortable.

No wonder it is said that you will be in prison for a lifetime. This is true!

"Mr. Sun, don't you have anything to say?"

Sun Sheng paused, stopped scratching his hands, and looked up blankly, "I, what else can I say?"

"Whatever!" Ye Hua said easily: "Now someone attacks the granary and wants to create chaos. It seems that I have captured you, and the other party has taken action in advance. The rebellion is in front of him, and the outcome is unpredictable. I really want to hear your opinion. Who will win and who will lose, just talk about it."

Sun Sheng pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled sadly, "Mr. Marquis, I'll ask you, how did you know I was pretending to die?"

"Two points!" Ye Hua said simply: "I am familiar with the transmission characteristics of the plague. I usually get sick for a few days or more than ten days. The possibility of sudden death is not high! Then..." Ye Hua took a deep breath, "I just cooked the day before, and the ginger on my son's sleeve is too strong!"

"ah!"

Sun Sheng's old face was distorted and his color changed. I don't know how to describe it. He was smart all his life and finally lost to ginger!

Can't you really cry for those damn little beasts?

Why did I give birth to a few useless wastes?

Sun Sheng lamented for a while, as if he had accepted his fate.

He thought, "The Marquis is like a god in his military service, and is extremely alert, but he can be neither arrogant nor impatient. He has a very great chance of winning. However, the Marquis is best not to underestimate his opponent, because as far as I know, the power of the Xie family is really not small."

Wei Renpu said in a muffled voice: "Sun Sheng, the Xie family has gone downhill since the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There were no famous officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. On the contrary, the Wang family of Langya and the Xiao family had several famous officials. How dare you say that the Xie family still has power?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, if you have the strength, do you have to be an official? Or, only in the career of officialdom can you have the power?"

"What do you mean?"

"In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a famous Sun En Rebellion. Sun En came from a family and worshipped the Five Dogs of Rice. He originally planned to raise an army to rebel against Jin, but the situation was not secret and was known. He led the crowd and fled to the sea, and frequently attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty with the island as a base."

Sun Sheng told the story, perhaps many people don’t know that Sun En is known as the “ancestor of pirates”. The Sun family has lived in the southeast for many years and has a deep foundation. But they just crossed the south. Wang Xie and other families moved to Jiangnan and re-define the aristocratic family level, and the Sun family became a inferior gentry.

This incident shocked Sun En very much. After he led his subordinates to rebellion, he frequently attacked from the sea. Whenever he captured one place, he would kill Wang Xie and other families. Among them, the Xie family suffered the most heavy losses, which indirectly caused the decline of the Xie family.

"After this time, the Xie family suffered a loss, they learned from their mistakes and began to pay attention to the deserted islands on the sea. They sent some children to sea, occupy islands, and engage in trade. The children of the Xie family in the inland gradually disappeared from the officialdom and focused on doing business. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, they established their capital in Chang'an. The five surnames and seven sects grew stronger. The Xiao family in the southeast declined, but the Xie family took a different path. During the Kaiyuan period, the Xie family had gone to Tianzhu and other places to traffic in goods. Later, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty relied on the financial support of the southeast. A canal saved the Li Tang Dynasty's 150 years of land, and the Xie family controlled 70% of the canal's transportation!"

"nonsense!"

Wei Renpu said angrily: "You said that Xie family controlled the canal transportation, why didn't there be much news? Are Xie family all ghosts? Can people turn a blind eye?"

"It's not that I turned a blind eye, but that I saw it but didn't know it." Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Gong-in-law Wei, do you know who the biggest force is on the canal?"

"Of course it's the Caokou Gang."

"Who is behind Caokou Gang?"

Wei Renpu frowned, "Can it be the Xie family?"

Sun Sheng shook his head, "It's the Five Dogs of Rice Sect!"

"What?" Old Wei became less and less accustomed to him. "You just said that the Sun family has been taught by the Five Doks of Rice, so why did it become the Xie family?"

"What's wrong with this?" Sun Sheng smiled and said, "Sun En died of defeat and jumped into the river. There were hundreds of people who committed suicide with him, all of whom were disciples of the Wudou Rice Sect. But after Sun En's death, did the Wudou Rice Sect disappear?"

Ye Hua finally spoke, "According to your words, does the Xie family control the Five Dok Rice Sect?"

"Yes, it's still the champion Hou Minrui." Sun Sheng smiled and said, "The Xie family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, but it has fallen into Sun En's hands. How can they not reflect on themselves?"

"So they found a way to replace the Sun family and control the Five Dogs of Rice Sect?"

"Um!"

"How did you know?"

"Me?" Sun Sheng suddenly smiled, "Marty, what's my husband's surname?"

ah!

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Hua and Wei Renpu finally realized.

It turns out that Sun Sheng is a member of the Sun family. It is not surprising that they know each other's grievances and grievances with the Xie family.

"Champion Marquis, Wei Gong, I can't live for a few days." Sun Sheng said and coughed, "I'll tell you one more thing. The Manichaeism was actually created by the people of the Five Dok Rice Cult."

Ye Hua said: "Why did I hear that Manichaeism is from Persia?"

"That's right, just the champion Hou has forgotten? The people from the Xie family also went to Tianzhu from the sea. They introduced the Manichaeism classics, merged with the Five Dok Rice Sect, and introduced the past and innovation, which led to the Manichaeism in Jiangnan today! Marquis, you know now, who is doing the right thing with you, right?"

Sun Sheng's cough became more and more serious, with blood in his sputum, and his throat was like a bellows, making a buzzing sound.

At this moment, Li Si broke in and when he met, he said anxiously: "Junior brother, all the hundreds of people attacking the granary have been eliminated by General Gao Huaide. General Gao found this on them!"
