Chapter 202: The history of the Ming Cult turns to the next page, and the four-pronged attack on Song is proposed again!
At this moment, in the huge courtyard of Sun Moon Villa, all the middle and high-level leaders of the Ming Cult were present.
"The Ming Zun has come to the world, the holy fire is blazing, saving the people, and bringing harmony to heaven and earth!"
"The world is dark and the emperor is incompetent. Fortunately, Murong is here to wield the sword and slay the dragon!"
"Master Murong, with his literary and martial virtues, will rule the martial arts world for thousands of years!"
Many Ming Cult disciples shouted slogans, and their admiration for Murong Fu was evident in their words.
There are two main reasons.
One is that Murong Fu had performed the descent of Ming Zun on Guangmingding, and in the past two months, Murong Fu had also been sending people to publicize that he was the incarnation of Ming Zun.
The essence of propaganda is that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.
Besides, Murong Fu didn't just tell lies, he also performed real miracles.
Second, the new leader Murong Fu really seeks benefits for the disciples of the Ming Cult.
Not only did they give out money, but they also opened up a system for exchanging merits for martial arts. Although it could only be exchanged for more common martial arts in the martial arts world and no magical skills, for many followers, this was already an extremely satisfying channel for advancement.
An ordinary person in the martial arts world cannot even develop internal strength in his lifetime. After all, the level of the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan is already considered provincial martial arts champions.
Most people in the martial arts world think that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are big guys. That is why when Murong Fu performed Sitting in the Air, everyone really thought that he was the Lord of Light who came down to earth.
The martial arts in the martial arts world such as Yi Jin Jing, Six Meridians Divine Sword, Yi Yang Finger, and Dou Zhuan Xing Yi really have nothing to do with ordinary martial artists, just like private islands and luxury yachts in later generations have nothing to do with ordinary people.
The Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword is a second-rate sword technique that Murong Fu looks down upon. However, it is this second-rate sword technique that has propped up the great reputation of the martial arts heroes in a place like Qinjiazhai in Yunzhou.
If an ordinary martial artist could learn the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword, it would be a great honor for his ancestors.
Murong Fu compiled many common martial arts in the Huanshi Water Pavilion and the Langhuan Jade Cave into an exchange catalogue and opened it to all members under his command. As long as they accumulated merits, they could exchange them.
Among them are second-rate martial arts such as "Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife", "Nine Strikes of Green", "Eighteen Breaks of City", "Compassion Knife" and "Silk-Wrapping Grappling Hand", as well as a large number of third-rate and inferior martial arts.
There are hundreds of kinds.
It is also very easy to make meritorious contributions. Working for the Ming Cult or paying tribute of money and land can be exchanged for merit points, which can then be exchanged for these martial arts.
As soon as this martial arts exchange system was launched, Murong Fu won the heartfelt support of the Ming Cult disciples, because high martial arts skills can lead to progress!
Murong Fu has given them a way to improve!
What can win people's hearts more than money is the channel for advancement, and martial arts is the best channel for advancement in the world of martial arts.
At this time, the leaders of the nine branch temples of the Ming Cult were all moved by the prestige of Murong Fu, and their submission to Murong Fu deepened.
The leaders of the nine main branches of the Ming Cult are:
The leader of the Fujian branch is Lin Guangyuan, and the leader of the Huainan branch is Deng Yuanjue.
The chief of Jiangnan branch is Bao Bu Tong, the chief of Jinghu branch is Zhao Wu Ming,
The leader of the Chengdu branch is Wang Hao, and the leader of the Hangzhou branch is Feng Bo'e.
The leader of the Shandong branch is Li Rutie, and the leader of the Tokyo branch is Fan Xilong.
Yang Dabiao, the leader of the Qinfeng branch.
Among them, the two altar masters replaced by Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo'e were the altar masters of branch altars who were dissatisfied with Murong Fu. Murong Fu had sent them to see Ming Zun, and their positions were naturally replaced by Murong Fu's trusted generals.
Moreover, from the geographical locations of these branch temples, it can be seen that the Ming Cult has been operating for many years. The branch temples are spread all over the Song Dynasty, from south to north.
However, overall, the southern branch is stronger, while the northern branch is weaker.
The Ming Cult had always been developing in the south. Later, when the Ming Cult rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, the heroes of the Ming Cult marched from south to north.
This time, Murong Fu was also going to launch a northern expedition to take Bianliang, then settle Hebei and Hedong, consolidate the base of the Song Dynasty, take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and annex Liaodong.
From south to north, completing the miracle of the Northern Expedition.
On the huge platform, the sacred fire was blazing, and Murong Fu, surrounded by two messengers of light, made a grand entrance onto the stage.
Behind him are the top leaders of the Ming Cult.
The four Dharma Kings, the three Persian envoys, the five wanderers, the five flag-bearers, and the masters of the four gates of heaven, earth, wind and thunder.
There were guillotines arranged on the stage, which was an ingenious design of Louis XVI. Murong Fu was just drawing on the wisdom of Louis XVI.
However, Louis XVI sent himself to the guillotine, while Murong Fu sent others to the guillotine.
"Silence!" Murong Fu said loudly.
As soon as he said this, the place immediately fell silent. Thousands of Ming Cult disciples were completely silent in an instant.
This reflects that Murong Fu's control over the Ming Cult has reached an extremely strong level.
"My fellow Ming Cult members, two months ago, there was a riot at the Bright Summit. This was a test from the Ming Lord and also the last catastrophe for the Ming Cult. The darkness before dawn is the most difficult to endure. Therefore, the great Cult Master Lin unfortunately passed away. I will inherit his legacy and continue to lead the Ming Cult and open up the Bright Era." Murong Fu said loudly, "And the culprit of all this is the mountain old man Hassan Sabbah from Persia."
"She pretended to be the saint of our Ming Cult, bewitched people, instigated rebellion, and killed the leader. After unanimous research and decision by the top leaders of our Ming Cult, Hassan Sabbah and his followers shall be sentenced to death!"
"Bring it up!"
Following Murong Fu's order, Hassan Sabah and a group of Persians were escorted up. However, although Hassan Sabah was beautiful, she looked listless and exhausted, and she didn't say a word the whole time.
"kill!"
"Kill her!"
"Kill this sinner!"
The disciples of the Ming Cult shouted.
Seeing the saint who was once so high and mighty fall to such a state, they felt inexplicably excited.
Although I felt a little sad in my heart.
"Execute!" Murong Fu gave the order.
Guillotine, start!
Whoosh!
What a quick knife!
Such a neat beheading!
From Hassan Sabbah onwards, all the Persians were beheaded. There was a thunderous cheer from the audience, and everyone felt relieved.
Hassan Sabbah must die. Her death represents a complete end to the dark history of the Ming Cult.
Murong Yan, who was hiding deep in the crowd, felt a chill on his neck when he saw his stand-in being beheaded so cleanly.
Of course Murong Fu was reluctant to kill her and those elite Assassins' killers. After all, their united front value was too high and it would be a pity to kill them.
But Hassan Sabbah must die, so a substitute has to be used. After all, a substitute is a good thing.
These scapegoats were all heinous criminals on death row. After being disguised, they were taken out and beheaded.
Murong Yan was filled with emotion, thinking: "Alas, the old man in the mountain is my past after all."
"At this moment, I am just Murong Yan. In fact, the surname Murong is also very good, especially when it can be worth an empire."
In the past, Murong Yan was proud of his identity as an old man in the mountains.
But after working with Murong Fu for two months and seeing with his own eyes how Murong Fu strategized, how he plotted to seize a country, and how he designed a grand blueprint for the empire, Murong Yan felt that his past assassinations of kings and prime ministers of small countries and collecting protection fees were all petty and unpresentable actions with no vision.
The identity of an old man in the mountains is not so glorious.
What Murong Yan hopes more is that one day, she and her son will rebuild the great Persian Empire, unify the peninsula, and even conquer Constantinople, so that they can achieve eternal glory!
After a while.
"Greetings to Master Murong, the Master will live forever, with great virtues in literature and martial arts, shining like the sun and the moon!"
The nine leaders of the sect all bowed to Murong Fu, expressing the complete obedience of the local powerful groups to the Ming Cult headquarters.
Murong Fu is not Zhang Wuji. He will not ignore the Ming Cult branch and eventually lose power. He attaches great importance to power at the grassroots level.
"You all know that the ideal of our Ming Cult has always been to overthrow the corrupt imperial court, establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, and spread the Holy Fire of Ming Zun to the human world. In the past, major events have been delayed due to endless internal strife and the integration of Ming Cult factions. Now, our internal affairs have been almost dealt with, and it is time to start an army!" Murong Fu said.
Deng Yuanjue, the leader of the Huainan branch, nicknamed "Baoguang Tathagata", asked: "Sage, I wonder what plans you have for the rebellion against the Song Dynasty?"
Murong Fu said: "The strength of the southeastern part of the Song Dynasty is weak. If we, the Ming Cult, attack, we can occupy half of the southeastern part, and then cut off the grain transport, which will cut off the lifeline of the Song Dynasty court."
"The only army that the Song Dynasty can afford to fight is the Western Army. It will take at least a year for the Western Army to gather and march south. If the Song Dynasty loses its financial resources in the southeast, it will have no choice but to ruthlessly exploit the people in the north, which will also arouse public anger and resentment in the north."
"And I, the Ming Cult, have lightened taxes and levies in the southeast, won the hearts of the people, and strengthened our military preparations, preparing to train a field army that can defeat the Western Army."
Lin Guangyuan, the leader of the Fujian branch, said, "I'm afraid that only one year is not enough to train such a strong army, right?"
"I have been training the Five Elements Banner of the Ming Cult for many years, and I also have a Dragon Elephant Iron Cavalry under my command, so I now have 3,000 elite soldiers." Murong Fu said, "I want your local branches to select honest, strong and healthy young believers and send them to Gusu. I want to expand the army to 6,000 people. You can discuss the specific number of vacancies privately according to the actual situation of the local branches. In addition, I have colluded with foreign forces and have a plan to attack Song from four directions!"
"Attacking Song from four directions?" Deng Yuanjue was surprised.
Murong Fu said: "I am the son-in-law of the Duan family of Dali, so I can get the support of the Duan family of Dali. At the same time, I am also the Yinchuan prince consort of Xixia, and Xixia can also help us contain part of the Western Army. In addition, the new Baoxiang King of our sect is the national teacher of Tubo. Tubo is now in danger under the pressure of the Song Dynasty, and will definitely actively assist us in attacking the Song Dynasty."
"We have four armies, one from Mingjiao, one from Dali, one from Xixia, and one from Tubo. We will march together to attack Song from four directions!"
"Attacking Song from all four directions will surely lead to its demise!"
The forum leaders looked at each other and felt that Murong Fu's plan was much more mature and perfect than they had imagined.
At least colluding with foreign forces requires not only the idea, but also the ability to do it, and Murong Fu has undoubtedly done it.
"The Holy Lord is wise and wise, and we all bow down to him." Deng Yuanjue said, "I am afraid that Dali, Tubo, and Xixia are not easy to get along with. It is easy for us to invite the gods but difficult to send them away!"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We are Han Chinese. There are a hundred times more Han Chinese than Hu people in this world. As long as we don't learn from the Song Dynasty's emphasis on culture over military, and the strong trunk and weak branches, these guests will be easy to deal with. I am not Emperor Taizong of Song!"
After that, Murong Fu smiled again and said, "Ming Zun has just issued the Three Canons Sutra. I summoned you to the main altar to invite you to study the Three Canons Sutra! The Three Canons Sutra is full of countless mysteries, and I guarantee that you will benefit endlessly!"
