In just two days, Nanjing City has been in a bloody storm.

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

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

This is just a person with status, such as officials, gentry, merchants, and ordinary shrimp soldiers, crab generals and minions.

After cleaning up the remnants of the city, there is only one last trouble left.

Thousands of the main forces of the White Lotus Sect gathered outside the city. This army was originally guarded in the Jiujiang area to prevent the Duke of Wei from killing him and gaining enough time for the Nanjing mutiny.

Zhu Qizhen was not interested in these miscellaneous soldiers at first, and according to his plan, the left guard in Nanjing was enough to deal with it.

However, the result disappointed him.

The left guard in Nanjing was actually defeated by these White Lotus Sect's miscellaneous soldiers!

Yuan Bin was clearer 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 is a heavenly soldier?"

Yuan Bin said: "According to folk rumors, the White Lotus Sect has 5,000 heavenly soldiers, all of whom are invulnerable to swords and guns, and they are not invaded by water and fire. This is something I have seen when I went out of the city and I can still breathe fire in my mouth, especially the Yinmen formation."

Zhu Qizhen's eyes contracted and asked, "Is it so mysterious?"

Yuan Bin was very serious and said, "Everyone from Jiangnan knows the power of this heavenly soldier. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be invincible."

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and sneered: "The saint said, a gentleman respects ghosts and gods and stays away from him. I didn't expect you to believe in this trick?"

"The emperor clearly understands that I may not believe it, but millions of people believe it without doubt. This is the problem."

"Where are the three guards in Nanjing?"

"Return to the emperor, most of the troops of Nanjing Guards and Nanjing Right Guards were taken away by Duke Wei, and only Nanjing Left Guards still had the power to fight. However, the heavenly soldiers were invulnerable to swords and guns, and the water and fire were not invaded. The Nanjing Left Guards could not get any advantage at all, even..."

Seeing Yuan Bin hesitating, Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "Even if you say it's complete, what can I blame you?"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to say: "There are rumors in the city that the heavenly soldiers are about to arrive, so let this Nanjing city... be careful not to be impatient, and then we will start a fight in the city, and we will cooperate inside and outside!"

Zhu Qizhen laughed: "Is it that they want to take Nanjing when they are working inside and outside?"

Yuan Bin looked a little frightened and said, "As long as the thieves 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, it may be... difficult..."

Zhu Qizhen didn’t understand, what kind of bullshit soldiers, is they really so deterrent?

Yuan Bin swallowed and continued, "There are rumors among the people that if the heavenly soldiers arrive, then the evil soldiers in Nanjing will retreat, and then throw away their armor and will die without a place to bury them..."

Zhu Qizhen was really speechless. I am an orthodox emperor, so why has 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 brief purge, there are still many remnants of white lotus lurking among the people. They have long been deeply rooted and will be difficult to find out for a while.

If we let them create rumors and disturb the people's hearts, if the people believe it and follow them to rebel, wouldn't I, the emperor, suffer a great loss?

Having said that, what is this heavenly soldier?

Can it really be invulnerable to swords and guns and inviolable to water and fire?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, otherwise, my nine years of compulsory education would not be in vain...

Zhu Qizhen vaguely felt that the so-called heavenly soldiers in Yuan Bin's mouth could not be said to be evil.

If you say that these people pretend to be a fool, but even a large number of people believe in them, it seems that they can really easily take down Nanjing City.

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

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

Zhu Qizhen is not a person who plays according to the rules. Now that I hear that his opponent is so magical, I am naturally very interested.

Nanjing City is very lively now. Although it has just experienced a rebellion, it has no impact on the lower-class civilians.

They even opened their eyes and finally saw Lingchi.

After visiting Zhu Qizhen, he found that the rumors about the heavenly soldiers and generals were everywhere in the streets and alleys. Some people even said that the heavenly soldiers were from the sky, wearing golden armor, unable to penetrate swords and guns, able to do things, and subdue dragons and tigers, and even muskets could not be penetrated. They were especially good at using formations. Once the formation was put out, dark clouds would be pressed against the top, flying sand and stones, and the heaven and earth would change color.

Anyway... it's amazing!

This is not only the ordinary people believe in this, but also many wealthy families and officials believe in it.

Zhu Qizhen was so amused and laughed.

But if you think about it carefully, from ancient times to the present, haven’t those geniuses pretending to be gods and ghosts always had a great influence among the people?

They took advantage of the people's ignorance to spread the so-called words of ghosts and gods unscrupulously, poisoning the people's thoughts.

Not to mention the rest, just talk about the time of Emperor Huizong of Song, the Jin people went south, and the Minister of War at that time put the hope of defeating the enemy on a charlatan named Guo Jing. This man lied that he had the magic of the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and used the Taoist Liujia method and the Buddhist Visa Monastery Heavenly King method to defeat the enemy. As a result, Bianjing City not only did not stay in the door, but instead opened the city gate and let a group of charlatans break the thieves. The result can be imagined, which directly triggered the shame of Jingkang and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

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

Even many scholars believe it deeply, let alone those people.

In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on the people. If you encounter a disaster in your daily life, the people feel that the day is in danger. The evil paths like the White Lotus Sect will naturally take advantage of the situation.

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

Just one day later, Yuan Bin came to report: "Your Majesty, the news that the heavenly soldiers were about to enter Nanjing City has already caused a lot of trouble. Now this news is spreading throughout Nanjing City!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded disapprovingly and asked, "What is the response? Tell me."

Yuan Bin hesitated and said weakly: "This...this is not easy to say."

"Say whatever you want, it's all men, why are you talking about?"

Zhu Qizhen was not polite to Yuan Bin. He would just say whatever he wanted. As for how mysterious it was?

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

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "Speak on!"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to continue, "The Pope will definitely die. It is said that the heavenly soldiers of the White Lotus Sect are all against ten, and the muskets and cannons cannot hurt them. As long as they chant the curse, we will all die."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be dumbfounded and said in confusion: "Recite the curse and recite it to death? Who gave them the courage?"

Yuan Bin had no choice but to say: "I think that if the person who comes is not good, and if the person who is good does not come, our army should make some preparations!"

"What does it mean?" Zhu Qizhen stared at him and asked seriously, "Are you afraid too?"

"I am not afraid of going through fire and water for the emperor, but I am just worried about the emperor's safety."

It can be seen that the commander of the Jianjin Yiwei was actually guilty.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but admire the level of the White Lotus Sect at this time. After pondering for a while, he smiled and said with a shallow smile: "Since that's the case, there is nothing to say. I personally take people out of the city to fight. Let me see how many pounds these so-called heavenly soldiers are!"

"Your Majesty, we are afraid that we are not enough now."

“How many people are there in total?”

Yuan Bin replied: "There are less than 500 troops left by Nanjing Guard and Nanjing Right Guard, and only Nanjing Guard still has combat effectiveness. However, the White Lotus Sect relies on the invincible heavenly soldiers and has a large number of ignorant people. It has a vague advantage in growing strength. Now there are tens of thousands of people!"

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

"The main force is still the five thousand heavenly soldiers. However, after the defeat of the left guard of Nanjing, he was frightened when he heard that he would fight against the heavenly soldiers and refused to fight. He said yes... they naturally knew the emperor's grace to them, but they would rather not be this soldier than anger the soldiers and generals in the sky..."

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

This is really... a ghost!

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "If they refuse to fight, they will not let them fight. Let them stand by in the camp. I will come to meet these heavenly soldiers in person!"

Yuan Bin hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, I'll leave it to me!"

But at this moment, someone came over in a panic and said, "No, big things are not good..."

Yuan Bin immediately stopped the man and yelled: "What's wrong?"

"The news about the left guard of Nanjing was that he was repelled by the heavenly soldiers and ran away. The agent commander Chen Weisong was unable to control it at all."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but say, "How dare these people counterattack the base camp of the Left Guard in Nanjing?"

"Back to the emperor, it is precisely when the troops of the left guard of Nanjing were frightened when they saw the heavenly soldiers. They ran around, trampled on each other, and threw away their armor."

Zhu Qizhen was speechless and said, "Let's go out of the city and go see!"

Yuan Bin hurriedly advised: "Please be at ease, please don't be impatient, I'd better go!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I still don't believe it. Are those ruthless heavenly soldiers so magical?"

fo

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

They leaned against the wall one by one, without any morale at all, but were just terrified.

This has also aroused the attention of many military and civilians, and people are talking about it.

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

Many people feel fear.

Especially the great soldiers and generals of heaven were just talking about it at first, but now, seeing many defeated soldiers entering the city, people gradually became scared.

This is to go against God, how can there be a reason to be invincible?
