Chapter 229 The White Lotus Uprising (the last day of the National Day holiday

The gathering in the sect did not last long. After an hour, everyone dispersed, but Madam Lin was kept by Wang Zhiqing.

"Ye Jiusi can ensure that everything is foolproof..."

"Senior brother, don't worry, Ye Jiusi's side will never be a problem." There were many people in front of him, and Madam Lin couldn't explain in detail. She immediately told Wang Zhiqing that not only the cook in Ye Jiusi's mansion was his own, but even the newly-acquisted concubine was someone she had arranged for a long time. It can be said that the Ye family has taken double insurance and there will definitely be no problems.

"That's good." Hearing this, Wang Zhiqing felt relieved and nodded. This uprising was only successful and must not fail. The White Lotus Sect made such preparations in Sichuan, and it used countless manpower and material resources. Once it failed, the blow to the White Lotus Sect would be fatal.

"It's a pity that the King of Loyalty and Brave is. If Jiujiang has not been defeated, the success will be greater. Now we can only rely on ourselves in Sichuan." Thinking of Yuan Qi, Wang Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh. Madam Lin didn't think so. She immediately said: "Didn't Junior Brother Zhang say that last time he came back? Gao Jin was originally the right-hand man of Senior Brother Yuan. Now, all matters of Yuan's army are handled by Gao Jin. Moreover, although Senior Brother Yuan's defeat in Jiujiang is a pity, it is actually not a bad thing for Senior Brother. If Jiujiang has not been defeated, how can you control the overall situation at that time?"

"Haha, that's true." Wang Zhiqing immediately laughed. If Yuan Qi is still there, with Yuan Qi's power and his prestige, who will be the biggest cooperation between the two families will eventually be the biggest. Now Yuan Qi is dead. Although Gao Jin is a great man, his strength has been greatly damaged. Now Gao Jin has to reorganize his White Lotus Sect. Who else is qualified to be the one who makes the decision?

"You said, can Wan'er and Ling'er hold Gao Jin? I heard from Junior Brother Zhang that Gao Jin is different."

"You are not at ease with the person taught by the junior sister?" Lady Lin chuckled softly. The senior brother specially handed these two girls to the junior sister for training. Wouldn't he just wait for such a day? Besides, Gao Jin is a smart person. Since he is a smart person, he knows how to choose. Moreover, Wan'er and Ling'er Huarong Yuewei are not a loss to him. By then, everyone will become a family. I think both senior brothers and Gao Jin will be much more at ease."

Wang Zhiqing laughed silently. Of course he knew this. However, as the time for the uprising approached, Wang Zhiqing, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little worried. Perhaps it was just the old saying: care is messy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let these two goddaughters go to Jiangxia with Zhang Miao. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, Wang Zhiqing raised these two daughters for so many years. Isn't the purpose of waiting for this day?

Unfortunately, Zhu Jiancai did not wait to open the channels. Originally, Wang Zhiqing planned to win over Zhu Jiancai in the same way, but Zhu Jiancai was not easy to fool. Zhu Jiancai, who held the power of the gossip, could say that no one believed him. A few days ago, Zhu Jiancai was carrying out a large-scale purge, and Wang Zhiqing suffered a lot of losses. In this case, he dared not move around, just in case Zhu Jian knew that Wang Zhiqing was causing trouble in secret. Maybe Zhu Jiancai was angry and embarrassed and ruined his major affairs.

"Junior sister, do you think there is a chance in the east?" Wang Zhiqing suddenly said.

"East side? Senior brother, are you talking about Zhu..." Mrs. Lin asked in a low voice.

Wang Zhiqing nodded and said, "There is a huge momentum over there, and there is a faint sense of a king. According to me, some things should be planned early. The so-called "those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a territory, and those who do not plan everything are not enough to plan for a while! After the Chuanzhongqian, our troops and Gao Jin joined forces to separatist territory, but if they want to seize the world, they are still inadequate. If..."

"The senior brother understands the meaning of my sister. However, it is said that Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai are different from the east. This may be a try. Besides, there are fewer people in the east this year, and it is said that there are only one person in the harem. This young man is full of energy and naturally has the opportunity to take advantage of it. But senior brother, are you sure you want to do this? If this matter is known to the east, it will not be a good thing for me to teach you."

"Hmph! So what?" Wang Zhiqing sneered: "If Zhu Hongwu had not relied on my teachings to gain the world, how did he teach me in the Ming Dynasty after he firmly took up the position of Emperor Zhang? Junior Brother Zhang said it was good last time. Although Emperor Yongye treats the world's rebel army equally now, who can guarantee that once the Qing court is destroyed, he will not attack us? The lessons of the past are not far away! It is better to make plans for some things early, so as not to regret it when you and I will regret it."

"What my senior brother said is very much. I know what to do, so I know what to do." Madam Lin nodded for a moment.

The Lantern Festival is over soon, and in a blink of an eye, it is the 20th day of the first lunar month. On this day, many ordinary families are still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the festival, but no one expected that the undercurrents were surging in the river and the White Lotus Sect was ready.

In the morning of the 20th day of the first lunar month, when the city gate of Chengdu Prefecture opened and the beginning of this day came, thousands of White Lotus Sects dressed up as people and smuggled into the city and sneaked into the city. In the green camp guarding the city, there were also many White Lotus Sects who had already defected to each other. Not long after Siyu, an inconspicuous car entered the east gate of Chengdu. After some reason, the axle of the car suddenly broke and the whole car blocked the city gate.

Just as the Qing army and the yamen runners who were guarding the city came to hear the news and were about to pull the car out of the city gate to clear the traffic, the White Lotus Cult, who had been hiding beside him, suddenly rushed out, killing the city gate for a moment, and the White Lotus Cult Cult in the Qing army above the city also attacked after receiving the news of the uprising and controlled the city gate in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the White Lotus Sect members in the city were in charge of the incident and attacked the various government offices separately. The Qing court, who had no preparation at all, was caught off guard. The county government office and the government office were broken in just over half an hour, and the governor's yamen were still barely resisting. The Qing army's green camp had already mastered one of them because the White Lotus Sect had already mastered one of them and was launched from the inside, and it was already in chaos.

As for the Sichuan Governor Ye Jiusi, he did not see anyone else at the beginning of the voluntary chaos, and when the governor's yamen was attacked by the White Lotus Sect, Ye Jiusi did not appear. Nearly tens of the White Lotus Sect members rushed over in the city, waving their weapons, shouting the eight-character mantra of "Vacuum hometown, no birth mother". He was not afraid of death. Under the command of Wang Zhiqing, he finally took the governor's yamen.

Subsequently, the various sects of Chengdu fell one by one, and the resistance of the Qing army in the city became weaker and weaker. Since the Qing court officials at all levels had not appeared in time since the governor to the prefect, as well as the generals of Chengdu, the Qing army was unable to organize effective resistance. By the hour of You, all Chengdu was occupied by the White Lotus Sect, and the capital was lost.

After Chengdu was lost, people only knew the whereabouts of Sichuan Governor Ye Jiusi. It turned out that Ye Jiusi died in his room inexplicably early that morning. There were many rumors outside. Some said that Ye Jiusi was poisoned to death, and some said that Ye Jiusi died immediately after being killed. But no matter what, the Qing officials in Sichuan who died strangely this day were not only Ye Jiusi, but those who knew the reason naturally knew.

On that day, not only Chengdu, but also more than ten prefectures and counties including Jintang, Pengzhou, Jianyang, Chongzhou, Zhongjiang, Lezhi... There were also White Lotus Sect members revolting at the same time. For a time, more than 300,000 White Lotus Sect members gathered in Sichuan. In just three days, they obtained a regional territory of more than 100 miles centered on Chengdu. After the uprising, Wang Zhiqing claimed that he was alive and called the Three Saints Kings, and announced that the world would raise an army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and build a happy land in the world.

At the same time, Gao Jin's troops in Jiangxia had already left one to confuse the Qing army, and the main force quietly went up the river, passing Yichang without knowing it, and entering Badong. While the Qing army had not yet reacted, they rushed into the middle of the river in one fell swoop, and then went directly along the Yangtze River toward Chongqing Prefecture.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongqing's population has sharply decreased due to many wars. Until the fourth year of the Kangxi reign, there were only more than 3,000 people in Chongqing. As a prefecture, this number of people was not as large as that of a town in Zhejiang. Later, the Qing court adopted the policy of filling Sichuan in Huguang, which gradually increased the population of Chongqing. However, Chongqing still failed to recover its vitality. When Gao Jin's troops walked up the river and suddenly attacked Chongqing in one breath, the Chongqing defenders could not resist at all. On the second day of the second month, Chongqing fell into Gao Jin's hands. In this way, Chengdu, the two most important cities in Chongqing were occupied, and almost the entire Sichuan was lost, which shocked the world.

On February 11, Wang Zhiqing's troops and Gao Jin's troops gathered in Wusheng, and the two troops merged into one. At this time, Wang Zhiqing had already occupied 500,000 troops, and Gao Jin's troops also expanded to 100,000 troops. The total strength of the White Lotus Sect in one place exceeded 600,000, which almost exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing in terms of the number of troops.

Gao Jin was named King Pingko by Wang Zhiqing, and he married his daughter at the same time. Gao Jin did not refuse and immediately agreed to be the main person of Wang Zhiqing. The two parts were officially merged into one, and their momentum was even more powerful. Longkodo, in Jiangxi, was extremely frightened when he learned about this and hurriedly sent troops to attack Jiangxia. But it was already too late. Jiangxia's Gao Jin's troops only left a thousand people bluffing. When Gao Jin entered Badong west, the thousand people had already been tidied up under Gao Jin's arrangement, and they had already been in a state of consolidation and disappeared. Maybe they followed Gao Jin to the west, or returned to Poyang Lake to lurk, waiting for another opportunity.

At the end of February, the news reached Nanjing. Zhu Yicheng, who was preparing for the next plan in Nanjing, was also shocked when he learned about this change. He did not expect that the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan would be so moving, and it suddenly expanded to such a level. Now that the entire Sichuan has been in the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and with Gao Jin's surrender, Wang Zhiqing is like a tiger with wings. Based on Sichuan, the tentacles of the White Lotus Sect can directly enter the four provinces of Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and its development must not be underestimated.

The White Lotus Sect's uprising caused the situation in the world to change suddenly. For this reason, Zhu Yicheng hurriedly invited a meeting of important officials to discuss countermeasures.
