Chapter 72 The Thunder's Power
Soon, the man who had just brought Zhao Yuan in quietly appeared outside the screen and said, "We have sent people to check, and there should be news soon!"
"Um!"
The person behind the screen agreed in a low voice.
The man pondered for a moment and said: "Is Your Majesty thinking about what Yang Kai said just now?"
The person behind the screen was silent for a while and then asked: "What do you think?"
He was still somewhat moved by Zhao Yuan's words, but this matter was not a trivial matter, so he had to consider it carefully before making a decision.
Solving the Brahma Sect helped the court in a certain way, but thinking about his grandfather being killed by a traitor, he still felt a little unwilling. But on the other hand, the growth of the Brahma Sect was definitely not a good thing for Zizai City.
The person under the guise of the sect is very good at deceiving people. No one knows how many people in the city are his followers.
The person who brought Zhao Yuan in was named Qin Yu. He was already in his early forties. He was originally from the army. When Xia Zizai left, he also came with him, and he could be regarded as his confidant. Naturally, the person behind the screen also
It's Xia Zizai.
Hearing this, Qin Yu was silent for a moment. He could clearly hear the previous conversation between the two from the next door. Now that Xia Zizai asked, he was also thinking about this question in his mind. After a while, he said: "The Brahma Sect should be eliminated!"
"Should it be removed?"
Xia Zizai raised his voice slightly and said, "Do you want me to help the court solve this problem?"
Qin Yu said: "I am not helping the court to solve the problem, but actually I am helping myself to solve it."
Xia Zizai said: "I feel that although Yang Kai's words have some truth, they are a bit alarmist. How can a small Brahma Sect of the Ming Dynasty shake the majestic Ming Dynasty? That's just a mantis trying to control the chariot, and he is overestimating his own capabilities!"
Deep down, Xia Zizai still looks down on the Brahma Sect. How can a small sect shake the foundation of the imperial court? Now that the Japanese pirates are constantly intruding along the coast, the imperial court can only say that it is a little helpless. However, once the imperial court takes a breather and gets serious, let alone a large army.
, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are enough to make the Brahma Sect overwhelmed.
Qin Yu said: "The reason why my subordinates said they would help us is because once the Brahma Sect grows stronger, Zizai City will be the first to suffer."
Xia Zizai had a solemn expression on his face and said, "How do you say this?"
Qin Yu said seriously: "Compared with the cities in Guan Nei, Zizai City is no less solid. However, the people and merchants in the city are a mixed bag. There are all kinds of people, including those from the Western Regions, Tubo, etc., many
They are even some barbarians, most of whom are coolies and servants. These people are extremely easy to be bewitched! I don’t know much about Brahma Religion, but the name should be similar to Buddhism, advocating the equality of all living beings.
, if they are allowed to preach in Zizai City, it will also be a big hidden danger for us."
Even if the city wall is strong, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can still be easily breached from the inside.
Xia Zizai said in a deep voice: "You mean we must wipe out the Brahma Sect from its cradle?"
Qin Yu said: "Yes! Now the Brahma Cult has not shown hostility to us, but we have to guard against it! Therefore, my subordinates thought that we should take the lead in clearing the Brahma Cults out of the city!"
Compared with China, Zizai City is actually more fragile. Domestic cities are basically populated by Han people. They may believe in the Brahma Sect, and then they are asked to take up swords, guns and sticks to rebel, but they don’t have the courage. But Zizai City is different.
The number of Han people in the country is not large, and even among the soldiers there are others. Once they are seduced, they can easily rebel, so we must be on guard against subtle changes.
Xia Zizai thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you to arrange!"
Qin Yu said: "I obey my orders! What about Yang Kai?"
Xia Zizai said: "Let him wait first!"
………………
According to Xia Zizai's wishes, Zhao Yuan will be cooled down now. He will eat and drink well all day long, and then he can walk around the city as he pleases, and no one will care about you. Anyway, he won't give you any answers, and neither will Xia Zizai.
Come forward to meet.
On the other hand, according to Xia Zizai's wishes, Qin Yu began to send people to secretly investigate the affairs of the Brahma Sect in Zizai City. On the surface, the calm situation in Zizai City was actually undercurrent.
Fortunately, Zizai City is not big, and basically all the information was obtained in three days. Qin Yu finally handed this information into Xia Zizai's hands.
Looking at the information in front of him, Xia Zizai couldn't help being surprised and said: "There are so many people?"
As the saying goes, you don’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. There are about 50,000 people in the lower part of Zizaicheng City. After investigation, it has been found that the Brahma Sect has more than 2,000 followers, and the number is still growing.
During the expansion, the Brahma Sect has three secret strongholds in the city. One of them is disguised as a shop, the other is a prostitute, and there is also an inn, which are places where there are more people coming and going on weekdays.
Therefore it is secretive.
This can actually be controlled. There may be more than this number of people who cannot control it. The most important point is that there are actually more than a hundred guards among them.
Qin Yu also had a solemn look on his face and said: "I didn't expect that the Brahma Sect has so many followers. If Yang Kai hadn't come here, we would probably still be in the dark."
If things continue to develop at this rate, by the time they notice it, there will be countless followers of the Brahma Sect in the entire city. As long as someone raises their arms, it will only take a short time, and the city may change its owner.
Of course, Xia Zizai understood the seriousness of it. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, his face darkened, his eyes were as sharp as an unsheathed knife, and he said: "Then there is no need to delay, deal with these people immediately!"
Qin Yu said: "Then please let the king know how to deal with it?"
Xia Zizai said: "Destroy their three dens, and drive all Brahma Sect members away from Zizai City. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
If he kills blindly, he is afraid of causing panic among others, so Xia Zizai adopts the method of extermination.
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Yes!"
Now that he had received the order, he acted without delay. Qin Yu took the lead in clearing out the Brahma Sect members in the army. These people were first given the order to assemble, then quickly disarmed, and then centralized and imprisoned.
Next, the soldiers came out in full force and took the lead in raiding the three strongholds of the Brahma Sect. One looked like an ordinary inn, one was a brothel with a very good business, and one was an average shop. With the sudden influx of soldiers, those Brahma Sect members
The cult members had no time to react and were immediately arrested. Some of them wanted to resist, but as soon as they resisted, they were quickly turned into corpses.
With the lessons learned from the past, how dare those Brahma Sect members dare to resist? They can only surrender honestly.
After the three strongholds were raided, the soldiers arrested people one by one according to the names on the list.
The soldiers acted very quickly, giving them no time to react, and the arrest went extremely smoothly.
The arrested people were quickly taken to the city gate, and the soldiers also untied their ropes and shackles, and asked them not to enter Zizai City again from now on. If they did enter again, they would be killed without mercy!
Except for a few people, most people are still a little confused until now. They have no idea what happened and why they were expelled from Zizai City. Suddenly someone started making a fuss. However, to answer them
Instead, they were struck by a flurry of sharp arrows.
Facing the heavily armed soldiers at the city gate, these Brahma Sect members who were driven out had no choice but to leave. The next step was the difficulty they had to face. When they were driven out, they had no water or anything.
There is no food or any money for Tong Yan. In this case, the chance of death is very high.
In fact, Xia Zizai also knew that these people would face them once they were driven out, but in his eyes, not killing them was already a kind intention. As for where they would go, whether it was life or death, that had nothing to do with him.
It doesn't matter either.
After wandering at the city gate for a long time, these people suddenly became desperate when they saw that there was no hope of getting in. They began to leave the city and began to wander aimlessly.
However, some people gathered together, that is, the followers of the three secret strongholds of the Brahma Sect. Seeing those who were driven out, they knew more or less what had happened.
"I think this is an opportunity!"
The person who spoke first was the innkeeper. He had a higher status than the others among the three strongholds of the Brahma Sect, and everyone obeyed his command.
The other people looked at him.
He said with a gloomy face: "Xia Zizai probably knew about our existence, so he went to war to drive us out of the city! However, he made two fatal mistakes. First, we have more than just these people.
Chapter completed!
