At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 183 Divine Soldier descends from heaven
In just two days, the city of Nanjing was already in a bloodbath.

More than a dozen officials were executed on the spot, and several of them were delayed.

More than a hundred people were dismissed from office and sent to prison.

This is only for dignified officials or gentry, big merchants and the like, not counting ordinary shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

After cleaning up the remaining evils in the city, there is only one last trouble left.

Thousands of the main force of the White Lotus Sect gathered outside the city. This force was originally guarding the Jiujiang area, in case Wei Guogong killed his carbine and bought enough time for the Nanjing mutiny.

Zhu Qizhen was not interested in these miscellaneous soldiers at first, but according to his plan, Nanjing Zuowei was enough to deal with them.

However, the result disappointed him greatly.

Nanjing Zuowei was actually repulsed by these miscellaneous soldiers of the White Lotus Sect!
Yuan Bin was quite clear about the situation outside the city, and said, "Your Majesty, this team should not be underestimated, they are the Heavenly Soldiers of the White Lotus Sect."

Zhu Qizhen was even puzzled, and asked, "What are the heavenly soldiers?"

Yuan Bin said: "According to folk rumors, the White Lotus Sect has five thousand heavenly soldiers, all of whom are invulnerable to swords, guns, water and fire. I have seen this with my own eyes when I went out of the city. They can breathe fire from their mouths, and they are especially good at displaying vaginas." formation."

Zhu Qizhen's pupils shrank, and he asked, "Is it so mysterious?"

Yuan Bin was very serious, and said: "Everyone in Jiangnan knows how powerful these heavenly soldiers are. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be invincible."

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "The sage said, a gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays far away. Who would have thought that you would still believe in such tricks?"

"Your Majesty has learned from you. You don't have to believe it, but thousands of people believe it. This is the problem."

"Where are the three guards in Nanjing?"

"Back to the emperor, most of the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Guard and Nanjing Right Guard were taken away by Wei Guogong. Only the Nanjing Left Guard still has the strength to fight. However, the heavenly soldiers are invulnerable to weapons, water and fire. ..."

Seeing Yuan Bin's hesitation, Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Even what, just say the whole thing, how can I blame you?"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to say: "There have been rumors in the city that the heavenly soldiers are about to arrive, so let the city of Nanjing...be safe and not be impatient, and when the time comes, there will be an incident in the city, and the inside and the outside should cooperate!"

Zhu Qizhen laughed loudly: "It's still cooperating inside and outside, so it's possible that they want to take Nanjing?"

Yuan Bin looked a little panicked, and said: "As long as the rebels in Nanjing know that the heavenly soldiers have arrived, they will naturally have the courage to resist. At that time, if there is no way to crack it, I'm afraid...it will be very difficult..."

Zhu Qizhen didn't understand, what kind of shit heavenly soldier, is it really so deterrent?
Yuan Bin swallowed his saliva, and continued: "There have been rumors among the people that if the heavenly soldiers arrive, then the evil soldiers will retreat in Nanjing City, and when the time comes, they will throw away their helmets and armor, and there will be no place to die..."

Zhu Qizhen is really speechless, Lao Tzu is an orthodox emperor, how could he become an evil soldier?
Needless to say, these so-called rumors must be spread by people from the White Lotus Sect.

Although Nanjing City has undergone a short period of major cleansing, there are still many remnants of Bailian lurking among the people. They have long been entrenched, and it will be difficult to find out for a while.

If he is allowed to create rumors and disturb the hearts of the people, if the people believe it and follow them to rebel, wouldn't it be a big loss for me, the emperor?

Having said that, what is this heavenly soldier?
Could it really be invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, otherwise, my nine-year compulsory education would not be for nothing...

However, Zhu Qizhen had a faint feeling that the so-called heavenly soldiers in Yuan Bin's mouth were unspeakably evil no matter how they sounded.

You want to say that these people are pretending to be gods and ghosts, but even a large number of people believe in them. It seems that they can really easily take down Nanjing City in a short time.

How could there be such a powerful heavenly soldier in the world? Obviously, this was a scam.

"I want to see for myself, what are these heavenly soldiers!"

Zhu Qizhen is not a person who plays cards according to routines, now that he heard that his opponent is so amazing, he is naturally very interested.

Nanjing City is very lively now. Although it has just experienced a rebellion, it has no effect on the common people at the bottom.

They even opened their eyes because of this, and finally saw Ling Chi's.

After Zhu Qizhen visited, he found rumors about the heavenly soldiers and generals everywhere. Some people even said that the heavenly soldiers came from the sky, wearing golden armor, invulnerable, capable of doing things, and capable Subduing dragons and subduing tigers, muskets can't penetrate, especially good at using formations. Once the formations are put out, there will be dark clouds overwhelming the top, flying sand and stones, and the world will change color.

All in all... great!

Not only ordinary people believed in this, but even many wealthy households and officials also believed in it.

For a moment, Zhu Qizhen couldn't laugh or cry.

But if you think about it carefully, from ancient times to the present, haven't those god sticks who pretend to be gods and ghosts have always had great influence among the people?
Taking advantage of the ignorance of the people, they unscrupulously spread the words of so-called ghosts and gods, poisoning the thoughts of the people.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that during the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Jin people went south, and the Minister of the Ministry of War at that time actually put the hope of defeating the enemy on a magic stick named Guo Jing. Spells, using the Taoist Liujia method and the Buddhist Bishamon Tianwang method to defeat the enemy. As a result, Bianjing City not only did not close its doors and stick to it, but opened the city gate and let a group of magic sticks go out to destroy the thieves. After the shame of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty perished.

As for other similar incidents in history, there are really countless.

Even many scholars are convinced, let alone those ordinary people.

In fact, the common people cannot be blamed for this. If there is a calamity year on weekdays, the common people feel precarious, and crooked sects like the White Lotus Sect will naturally take advantage of it.

It has to be said that the White Lotus Sect has a very high level of brainwashing, comparable to the telecom fraud gangs of later generations.

Only one day later, Yuan Bin quickly came to report: "Your Majesty, the news that the Heavenly Soldiers are going to invade Nanjing City has caused a commotion all over the city, and now the whole Nanjing City is spreading the news!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded disapprovingly, and asked, "What's the reaction, let's hear it."

Yuan Bin hesitated, and said weakly, "This...it's not easy to say."

"Just say what you have, they are all men, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Qizhen was not polite to Yuan Bin, if he had anything to say, it would be over. As for making it so mysterious?

Therefore, Yuan Bin smiled bitterly and said, "Many people say that the city of Nanjing is about to change, and they also say...just wait for the heavenly soldiers and generals to come and teach... then teach..."

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "Go on!"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to continue: "Then the Pope will surely die. It is said that the Heavenly Soldiers of the White Lotus Sect are one against ten, and firecrackers and artillery can't hurt them. As long as they recite the incantation, we will all die. "

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help being dumbfounded, and asked in doubt: "Chanting mantras to death? Who gave them the courage?"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to say: "I feel that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come. Our army should make some preparations!"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Qizhen stared at him, and asked seriously, "Could it be that you are also afraid?"

"I go through fire and water for the emperor, naturally I am not afraid, but... worried about the safety of the emperor."

It can be seen that the dignified commander of Jinyiwei is also guilty.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help admiring the level of the White Lotus Sect. After pondering for a while, he said with a slight smile: "In that case, there is nothing to say. I will personally lead people out of the city to fight, so let me experience these so-called How many catties and taels does your Heavenly Soldiers weigh?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid our current soldiers and horses are not enough."

"How many people are there in total?"

Yuan Bin replied: "Nanjing Guard and Nanjing Right Guard have less than [-] troops left behind, and only Nanjing Left Guard still has fighting power. However, the White Lotus Sect has a huge advantage because of its invincible soldiers and engulfing a large number of ignorant people. Now there are tens of thousands of people!"

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said: "So what if there are too many people, I only care about how many people can fight?"

"The main force is still the five thousand heavenly soldiers. However, after Nanjing Zuowei suffered a defeat, when they heard that they were going to fight against the heavenly soldiers, they were frightened and refused to fight to the death. They said yes...they naturally knew the emperor's kindness to them, But they would rather not be this soldier than dare to offend those generals in the sky..."

Zhu Qizhen's frown became tighter and tighter. In this era, natural science has not yet been popularized, and there are naturally many gods and ghosts circulating among the people. Unexpectedly, this thing can defeat others without fighting.

This is really... hell!

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and said: "If they don't want to fight, then don't let them fight, let them stand by in the camp, and I will personally meet these heavenly soldiers!"

Yuan Bin hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty can't do it, let the minister handle it!"

But at this moment, someone ran over in a panic and said, "No, the big thing is not good..."

Yuan Bin immediately stopped this person and snapped, "What's wrong?"

"The news about the Nanjing Zuowei was just repulsed by the heavenly soldiers, and there were seven or eight people who ran away. The acting commander made Chen Weisong unable to control it at all."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but said: "How dare these people counterattack the base camp of Nanjing Zuowei?"

"Returning to the emperor, it is true that when the troops of Nanjing Zuowei saw the heavenly soldiers, they were all frightened. They ran in a swarm, trampled on each other, and threw away their helmets and armor."

Zhu Qizhen was speechless, and said: "Go, follow me out of the city to have a look!"

Yuan Bin hastily persuaded: "May the emperor be at peace and don't be impatient, I'd better go!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I still don't believe it, those Laoshizi heavenly soldiers are so amazing?"

After leaving the city, I saw a large number of defeated soldiers.

They leaned against the wall one by one, without the slightest morale at all, they just looked terrified and unknown.

This also caused a lot of soldiers and civilians to watch, and people were talking about it.

Rumors that heavenly soldiers and generals are about to attack the city have already begun to spread in the city.

Many people became frightened.

In particular, how powerful the heavenly soldiers and generals are, at first they were just constant discussions, but now, seeing many defeated soldiers entering the city, gradually, people began to fear.

This is going against God, how can there be no reason to be invincible?
Of course, on the other hand, there were still many remnants of Bailian lurking in the city of Nanjing, or the relatives of the prisoners. Now, it seemed that they saw hope, which added fuel to the fire.

Zhu Qizhen looked at these demoralized soldiers, pulled his face, said nothing, secretly thought in his heart, Daming's army needs to be rectified in an all-round way, there is no delay!
At this time, a person was supported and walked forward, knelt down and said: "My humble minister will die."

Zhu Qizhen asked with his hands behind his back, "Who are you?"

"Chen Weisong, acting commander of Nanjing Zuowei."

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What's going on?"

Chen Weisong looked ashamed, and said: "I was originally leading the troops from the left guard to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion. Halfway through the journey, I suddenly encountered a group of troops. Fight back, who knows... The formation has not yet been formed, and suddenly someone screamed that some heavenly soldiers are coming. The humble ministers also dispersed, the humble ministers... ten thousand deaths..."

After listening to this narration, Zhu Qizhen could understand the situation at that time. When the army collapsed, no matter how much you restrained it, it would be useless.

"You mean, the two armies were defeated before they came into contact?"

"Yes……"

Chen Weisong was so ashamed that he wished he could bury his head in the ground.

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and ordered: "Go and call some people from the left guard."

Not long after, a few people from the left guard came forward, bowed down to Zhu Qizhen, and said in fear: "Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor."

Zhu Qizhen looked at them and said coldly, "Why did you retreat?"

One of the soldiers tremblingly said: "I have obeyed the emperor's will, so I... I am willing to go through fire and water for the emperor, but... just... what we encountered was heavenly soldiers. Invulnerable to swords and guns, the humble are really afraid, and would rather kill Japanese pirates than fight against heavenly soldiers..."

After Zhu Qizhen finished listening, he turned to look at the other soldiers.

Those soldiers also nodded hurriedly: "It's not that they are humble and refuse to work for the emperor, it's really... really... they don't dare to offend the gods..."

Zhu Qizhen is really angry and funny at this time, but, looking at these panicked military households, he also knows that this is the actual situation of the current era, let alone ordinary people blindly following these things, it is the officers and soldiers, Also convinced of this.
