Chapter 1338 defeated
People who don’t know these things still live a leisurely life, such as the people, businessmen, and those Shilin people who come to visit Luo Xin.
Luo Xin packed the largest inn in Hangzhou. In the future, everyone who visited them arranged to stay in that inn, and all food and accommodation were responsible for Luo Xin. This made those Shilin people praise Luo Xin's kindness. However, Luo Xin was forced to do nothing. He had already concluded that the people of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would definitely regard these Shilin people as targets of attack. If they could kill some Shilin people, the sensation would be greater than that of killing the merchants of the vassal states.
If these Shilin people were allowed to live at will, Luo Xin had no way to protect them, so Luo Xin had to concentrate these people and secretly sent the martial arts masters under Wang Cuiqiao to protect them. Even martial arts masters lived in this inn as Shilin people.
The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were already preparing to make a big fuss, and Luo Xin was also preparing to catch all these people in one go. Both sides felt that they were fishermen and the other was fish.
Although the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were nervous, they were not afraid, and they were excited. Because they had no idea that they were under surveillance and could be wiped out at any time. Instead, they felt that the government was still as relaxed as before. In this state, they believed that once they were uprising, it would bring great shock to the entire southern officialdom. I am afraid that by that time, Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian would be implicated. If the court could dismiss Hu Zongxian for this uprising, due to the unfavorable reason of Hu Zongxian's bandit suppression, the suffering of their White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan would be over, and they were now forced too hard by Hu Zongxian.
Of course, if Hu Zongxian was not dismissed from office, it would be fine if Luo Xin was dismissed from office. Without Luo Xin, any official would probably not support Hu Zongxian so much. They knew very well about the officials of the Ming Dynasty and could support Hu Zongxian like Luo Xin, and the resources of food, grass and other materials were constantly sent to the front line. There was no such thing as Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian. This can only say that Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian had a good personal relationship.
However, as long as Luo Xin was dismissed from office, Hu Zongxian would have no support. Without food and grass, Hu Zongxian would not be able to exert his power at all.
They seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
Originally, Luo Xin should have been relaxed. After all, most of the people from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were under his surveillance, waiting for them to gather together and catch them all in one go, so as not to miss the net.
However, Luo Xin was extremely nervous at this time, because so far, no one from the White Lotus Sect or Zhang Daoyuan was found in Hangzhou, whether it was the Jinyiwei or Wang Cuiqiao.
However, Hangzhou is really important.
There is the Maritime Bureau here, which is the largest foreign distribution center in the Ming Dynasty. Now, people from the Ming Dynasty, including the four-way scholars gathered here to visit Luo Xin.
If the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan suddenly attacked and killed a large number of foreigners, this would not only seriously affect the future operations of the Maritime Bureau, but also hurt the Ming Dynasty's face.
What do the people of the Ming Dynasty care about the most?
face!
If such a thing really happens, don’t think about being an official Luo Xin, and you don’t know whether your head can be kept.
If the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan killed a large number of Shilin people...
Luo Xin couldn't even imagine it!
At this time, he couldn't help but blame Zheng Ruozeng, what are you promoting and hyping at this time?
Isn't this a mess?
However, the matter has already happened and I agreed at the beginning, so the matter must be resolved by myself instead of blaming Zheng Ruozeng.
"Check, check it out with all my strength!"
Luo Xin gave a death order to Jinyiwei and Wang Cuiqiao.
The surface of Hangzhou City is calm, but the waves are surging in the dark.
Three more days passed, and the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan still had no rebellion, but the situation under the control of Jinyiwei and Wang Cuiqiao was that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were constantly gathering, and the number of people was increasing.
However, the thieves in Hangzhou still found no trace.
"It seems that Hangzhou should be a nest of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, it is hidden deep enough!"
In other prefectures in the south, Luo Xin was very proactive, because the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan were all under Luo Xin's control. Only in Hangzhou, Luo Xin was very passive and he could only defend passively.
Fortunately, the Shilin people were all concentrated in an inn, and those Shilin people, Luo Xin, were also handed over to Wang Cuiqiao for protection. Relatively speaking, these Shilin people are much more important than foreigners, and Wang Cuiqiao's subordinates are also stronger than the Jinyiwei.
Those foreigners also lived in a guild hall. This guild was established when Luo Xin was the prefect of Hangzhou and the Maritime Commander. It was originally intended to facilitate management of foreigners, so all the merchants from the vassal states who came to the Ming Dynasty had to live in the guild hall. Luo Xin handed the guild hall to the Jinyiwei for protection.
Luo Xin did not wait for the surprise attack from the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, but he waited for even worse news.
Hu Zongxian is in a coma!
Luo Xin held the letter in his hand and his face was covered in darkness.
This is a letter written by Hu Zongxian's deputy general to Luo Xin. Hu Zongxian's troops were divided into two groups, encircling and suppressing the White Lotus Sect in Guangdong and Zhang Daoyuan in the west.
Hu Zongxian had been fighting for many years and was also a tiger and wolf army under his command. He won one after another, and he pushed the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan into the deep mountains and forests.
At this time, Hu Zongxian did not take the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan seriously at all. In fact, Hu Zongxian never took the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan seriously at all. Since the conquest of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, Hu Zongxian has been destroying all the way. The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan and other mobs are not Hu Zongxian's opponents at all.
These people may have strong individual strength, but they have never experienced an organized and disciplined war and have never received real military training. How could they be Hu Zongxian's opponent?
Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan retreated into the deep mountains and forests one after another, Hu Zongxian did not take them seriously. He commanded the army to enter the deep mountains and forests directly, preparing to complete his contributions in one battle, to capture the last forces of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, and to capture the White Lotus Sect leader and Zhang Daoyuan.
In the first half month, the people of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan fled to the depths of the deep mountains and forests, and seemed not very familiar with the deep mountains and forests. Many times, they were seen by Hu Zongxian's army, fled in a panic, and many people died. This made Hu Zongxian and his officers and soldiers more confident, and accelerated the pursuit of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, so that they went deeper and the front line was stretched longer.
but……
At this moment, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan disappeared, and Hu Zongxian and others never found any traces of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan. It seemed that overnight, these people disappeared in this deep mountain forest.
