Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 802 The Disaster of White Lotus

His sudden movement set off alarm bells in the hearts of the guards on the left and right, and they hurriedly protected Li Jinglong behind them, fearing that there might be some strange weapon or something similar to gunpowder or firearms in this bag. Even Li Jinglong was startled by his actions and quickly took a few steps back.

Unexpectedly, what rolled out of the bag were several colorful objects. Because the lump shook so hard, they rolled all over the floor.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was not gunpowder or weapons, but several heads with golden and red hair.

"Those red-haired ghosts that the young master has been chasing so hard have been taken care of by me... Are you satisfied with this generous gift from us?" Fang Zuozi said.

"...Who are you?" Li Jinglong was not stupid by nature. He had realized that the person in front of him was definitely not a kind "righteous man" who was kidnapped and came here to help the Ming Dynasty King.

This bag of heads is said to be a generous gift, but what does it have to do with the demonstration?

"Is it possible that you don't dislike me enough? Please be patient. The boat that I brought here is full of the heads of these Rakshasa devils." Fang Zuozi said with a fake smile. He wanted to use these heads to give the Ming Dynasty fleet the idea that "the power of the White Lotus Sect is very strong in Dawan." "As for who we are...seriously speaking, we are from the same ancestry as Emperor Hongwu of your dynasty...I have no biological mother, and my hometown is empty. King Ming came to the world to save you from disasters. Have you ever heard of it, young master?" "

"You are the White Lotus Cult bandit!" Li Jinglong shouted in shock, and the guards of Duke Cao's Mansion around him also drew the blades from their waists in an instant.

"If a king succeeds or loses a bandit, why would the young master derogatoryly call us bandits?" Fang Zuozi sneered. "Didn't Zhu Chongba also teach bandits before he became something big?"

"Is the Emperor's name a taboo thing that you and other thieves can call directly?" Li Jinglong's expression became solemn and he scolded him with a straight face.

He cupped his hands toward the sky and said seriously: "You and other religious bandits are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so you hide among the people, fan the flames and create chaos."

"As soon as there is a natural or man-made disaster, you deceive and trick people, pretend to be supernatural, and gather stupid men and women to die for you. You are in vain to care about the people, but now His Majesty cares about all the people, so he made the decision to expel the Tartars. Restore China’s great achievements!”

"What's more, when did Your Majesty join your White Lotus Sect? But in the past, because he didn't want to use the Yuanting Zhizheng reign name, for the sake of being a Han rebel, he used the dragon and phoenix chronology of King Xiao Ming for a few years... so he just So, are you just so far-fetched? If you don’t take a pee first and take a look at yourself, how can you be so virtuous and capable as to dare to compare with His Majesty today?"

Of course, Lao Zhu is not a member of Mingjiao, although the team he joined was founded by Mingjiao. But when the Mingjiao rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a hard-working cowherd boy. That year, a great plague took away the lives of his father, mother, eldest brother and eldest brother's son, leaving only him and his second brother dependent on each other.

They were penniless at the time, so they had to use door panels to carry relatives wrapped in straw mats and bury them. It was raining heavily and the rope broke. The two had no choice but to borrow a rope. When they came back, they found that the landslide had buried their loved ones under a new mountain. Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears, planted a tree as a monument, and continued running for a way to survive.

Soon, the great famine that followed the great plague forced Lao Zhu to become a monk, but the temple he entered was a serious temple and had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect. He lived half-starved in the temple for two months. The elder announced that all the food had been eaten and asked everyone to flee for their lives. The unlucky Lao Zhu put on a monk's attire and began his life of begging.

After hanging around like this for several years, when he was twenty-five years old, he joined Guo Zixing's Red Scarf Army and became a leading soldier.

Although the Red Scarf Army was founded by the White Lotus Sect, at this time, the subordinates under Guo Zixing had become a formal army, and at that time, powerful people from all walks of life were recruiting troops to conquer the east and west. There was no need to use religion as they did in the past. He no longer buys people's hearts to win over his disciples, and no longer promotes the White Lotus teachings or chants mantras and burns incense. Could it be that anyone who joined the rebel army at that time would be considered a White Lotus cult bandit? Lao Zhu and the pawns who were serving as soldiers at that time did not pay homage to King Ming and Old Mother Wusheng once. Therefore, it cannot be said that Lao Zhu joined the White Lotus Sect.

Nevertheless, because many of the old men in the team were White Lotus sects, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the White Lotus sect very well and knew that it was a source of disaster that affected the peace of the world. Therefore, after he became emperor, he began to crack down on the White Lotus sect with unprecedented intensity. .

The White Lotus Sect has suffered unprecedented losses, and because of the little connection between Lao Zhu and them in the past, some people have far-fetchedly regarded Lao Zhu as a traitor to the White Lotus Sect... This statement is actually untenable. , even Fang Zuozi knew in his heart that Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty could not be considered as having joined their White Lotus Sect at all.

Fang Zuozi's face, which was pretending to be calm, finally showed a bit of anger because of Li Jinglong's righteous words. Li Jinglong stopped those who wanted to go forward and kill this person on the spot. The other party said: "You worked so hard to row here alone, you shouldn't just show off your ugly face in front of us, right?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. When you come here, do you want to ask me, Daming, to be more tolerant to you?"

The sarcoma on Fang Zuozi's face trembled slightly, making him look even more sinister. Li Jinglong's left and right guards took a step closer with knives in hand. His face turned pale. After all, he couldn't say a few harsh words. He could only say with a tiger face: "The Ming Dynasty has always treated us like tigers and wolves."

"Now, we, the descendants of Bailian, are willing to move here, away from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, to cultivate wasteland and build a peach blossom garden here."

"In the future, we will be on equal footing with the Ming Dynasty..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Li Jinglong interrupted Fang Zuozi's words.

The White Lotus Sect is obsessed with chaos and is pervasive. They worked hard in the Central Plains for a long time before they had the foundation they have today. Are they really willing to give up this foundation and go to this island to start from scratch?

At least Li Jinglong didn't believe it.

"Whether the young master believes it or not, I will bring his words here." Fang Zuozi said. He pointed at the heads that had rolled around on the nail plate: "At least, we, Bai Lian, have the same roots as China. Since the imperial court is willing to use foreign races and merchants to expand the territory, why can't they allow me, Bai Lian, to belong to the same sect?"

"These heads are the sincerity our religion has given to the Ming Dynasty... If the Ming Dynasty can allow us, Bai Lian, to be here, we will be the vassal vassal of the sea forever from generation to generation."

"We are from the same origin as those who came out of China... Emperor Hongwu has a broad mind and is not incompetent. Young Master, are you right about what the villain said?" Fang Zuozi said.
