Chapter 134 (18) Cults are the greatest catastrophe

On September 23, soldiers from the imperial court arrived in droves. Under the command of the imperial envoy Shu Hede, they launched a massacre of the Qingshui believers who had gathered in the old city of Linqing. Although there are tens of thousands of believers, they are all stupid people with insufficient insight, no fists and no courage. They just listened to Wang Lun's foolishness, thinking that there will be a catastrophe, as long as they follow the old king, they will be right— —But it was precisely because they followed the leader of the cult that they caused a great disaster. Officers and soldiers rushed into the city, searched from house to house, and killed people without asking why they saw them.Along the river, there were floating corpses all over the bank. The vehicles in the city blocked by Wang Lun were all set on fire by the officers and soldiers. The flames were blazing, and the smoke billowed.

The people in the city were killed, not only people, but even the unlucky cattle, horses and mules were stabbed countless times by the red-eyed Qing soldiers. In the city, only one of the largest houses remained unconquered.The leader Wang Lun is leading his cronies to stay inside. The imperial envoy Shuhede arrived and shouted to the house: Listen up, people inside, listen up, you are surrounded, immediately raise your hands and come out to surrender.If you surrender, you can still... Well, in short, you have to surrender, and the result will be the same if you don't surrender. After hearing this, Wang Lun smiled and said, "If that's the case, why should I surrender?"

I would rather burn to death in this building! Wang Lun said. Wang Lun set fire to it, and Wu Sanniang, Wu Sanniang, Wu Shengniang's sister-in-law, Wang Lun, and others were in the flames, arm in arm with Wang Lun, shoulder to shoulder, and sang in unison: "I love you, Qilu's son!" The fire, flickering, fluttering all over the sky, your ashes are so white, and amidst your... singing, all the leaders of the Qingshui Sect were burned to death. It is lucky to be burned to death. Those who survived the fire were dragged to the execution ground and cut into pieces.The wives and daughters of the religious people were all confiscated by the court and distributed to those who had made meritorious service in the war as slaves.

Wang Lun's prophecy was once again fulfilled, and a catastrophe really came.It's just that contrary to what Lao Wang said, anyone who followed Wang Lun was robbed.Afterwards, some believers either slipped through the net or were released by the court. After returning to their hometowns, they were not seen in their hometowns.According to the written records at that time: Although the imperial court issued a lenient edict, but Lu Yan, who understood the righteousness, slashed the ground with a knife and said: "My hometown does not allow this kind of rebellious species, and let it cause future harm... Kill them all, even though they were children. exempted.

This record said that the children in Qingshui Sect were all killed by kind and gentle people.From this point of view, it seems that ordinary people are comparing Qianlong to see who is more brutal.But the common people were determined not to be able to play against Qianlong, so Qianlong ordered the imperial envoy Shu Hede: The thieves made rumors that it was a disaster in Shandong. Such rumors are really hateful. Let me check to see if there is a disaster in Shandong? Shu Hede was not lacking in understanding, Qianlong had clearly stated that the disaster in Shandong was a rumor, how could he have the guts to argue with Qianlong, so he lied against his conscience and said that Shandong had a bumper harvest and the people were singing and dancing.Then Qianlong went to scold Li Shufang, who reported that there was a catastrophe in Shandong, and demoted him to the head of the Ministry of Rites, leaving him idle.Four years later, everyone forgot about it, and Yonggui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, went up to play, trying to unfreeze Li Shufang and promote him, but Yonggui was miserable, and was scolded by Qianlong on the spot, dismissed from office and kicked out of the court.

Removing the official of Shangshu Yonggui from the Ministry of Officials, but only demoting Li Shufang, is actually a trick of Qianlong playing tricks on the officials.He just kept Li Shufang in the court on purpose, and punished anyone who got close to him.As a result, Li Shufang almost became a plague in the imperial court. Everyone detoured when they saw him. As a result, Li Shufang was depressed to death. After the evil cult Wang Lun was settled, Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back: By the way, there is a Dajinchuan over there... What's the matter?
