Even now, Xu Wenzhe still finds it difficult to explain why he accepted the invitation to join the empire. He asked himself, was he greedy for power? Obviously not. For him, power is more like passing through a cloud of smoke. After enjoying a life where one person is inferior to ten thousand people in the Taiping Religion, it is difficult for the worldly glory and wealth to have much interest in him. Is it because of sympathy? It doesn't seem to be the case. Although Bo Xiang agrees with his own status, it is not enough to change his decision. Otherwise, he should have followed Bo Xiang when he still abandoned the Holy Religion and joined Xijiang.
What is that for? Xu Wenzhe's traveling life for so long has indeed made him feel that the world is not as narrow as he imagined before, nor is it as simple as he imagined. The prosperity of the industrial economy and the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the Western Continent, Latin Harmony The prosperity of shipping in the Aegean Sea and the prosperity of the Central Continent opened Xu Wenzhe's eyes. It also made him feel extremely tired and ashamed of everything in the Taiping Religion. That kind of concept that was close to madness and paranoia now seemed It was like a farce, and that experience was more like a crazy dream. Looking back, Xu Wenzhe realized how ridiculous everything he had fought for was ridiculous.
He is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been selected as the disciple by You Daofang. However, after experiencing so many ups and downs, Xu Wenzhe is no longer the steadfast Xu Wenzhe. Luoluo was enough for Xu Wenzhe, who was full of fanaticism, to complete his spiritual transformation.
After returning to the Eastern Continent, Xu Wenzhe was moved by the words of Prime Minister Bo. He saw that a powerful Tang Dynasty was rising in the hands of Li Wufeng, and a huge group representing the interests of the Tang nation and the empire was about to enter the entire continent to fight for what they should Get everything. Then should I still be a bystander and look at him with cold eyes? Or should you plunge into this torrent and try your best to show yourself
Meeting with Li Wufeng made Xu Wenzhe once again feel the gap between himself and the other party. While he was still struggling to find the rules for how the poor people could escape from poverty, Li Wufeng was already devoting himself to developing the local economy and improving the living standards of the local people. Look at the Western Xinjiang territory under Li Wufeng's jurisdiction. Beiyuan and the more barren northwest of Yanyun were able to develop by leaps and bounds in just a few years, and the people's living standards steadily improved, but the Taiping Sect was unable to take root in this area. From that time, Xu Wenzhe had already had some ideas, and now finally Able to talk openly and honestly with each other about your thoughts and questions face to face. And the other party gave him an answer without any hesitation. It should be said that although the answer was not as perfect as before, Xu Wenzhe had to admit that this answer was the most practical, and compared to Taiping Regarding the ideal originally proposed by the teacher, we can only say that it was a beautiful idea that existed in an illusory world and could not be realized in the real world.
This conversation finally prompted Xu Wenzhe to accept the invitation to join the empire, and changed his name to Xu Bin, and directly assumed the task of establishing the Imperial Security Bureau, with the help of Diao Su and Bo Jinchen.
A large number of capable personnel from various channels also continuously gathered under Xu Wenzhe, making the strength of the Imperial Security Bureau suddenly develop. And all the news coming from the Beiyuan area are largely due to the achievements of the Imperial Security Bureau.
Although the Taiping Religion’s academic affairs were not Xu Wenzhe’s focus when he served as a junior master, as a junior master, he was involved in all aspects of the Taiping Holy Religion. The development of the Taiping Religion in the Beiyuan area was not unfamiliar to him. Whether it is Pinglu or Yulin, the Taiping Sect's development focus in this area is mostly in the countryside. Especially in the more remote rural areas, Xu Wenzhe knew about several key areas, but after all, he did not have direct contact with the academic affairs. Xu Wenzhe was not very clear about the specific situation. But with this clue, and the fact that many of the people under the demon were also from the Taiping Sect and surrendered to the empire, under Xu Wenzhe's guidance, everything seemed logical.
"Sir, everything has been arranged. Two regiments from the Second Division of the Fifth Army have arrived at the designated location and are on standby. The garrison and security forces in the city have not notified you as you requested." The door creaked. "With a sound, an excited subordinate came in, trying his best to suppress his inner excitement and said in a deep voice.
"Are the people from the Yulin Internal Affairs Department in place?" Xu Bin (Xu Wenzhe) asked calmly. This is just a matter of course, and it is not worth making a fuss about. Although this is the first battle since the establishment of the Imperial Security Bureau, Xu Bin is absolutely sure to win this round.
"Everyone is already in place. They are all on standby in the Yamen now. Our people are staying with them. We have also sent people to contact the garrison over there. Once they appear, they can be dispatched at any time.
"Don't be so nervous. There won't be any trouble in Yulin City. What we are going to do now are the two key areas we have deployed. The city's security forces are not reliable. Although the garrison has no such concerns, in order to prevent news If it leaks, it's better not to use them. Transfer it from Jerok. I believe no one will guess it." Xu Bin knocked out the oil lamp on the desk with a wave of his hand, and the figure flashed out, "Let's go, it's time to It’s time to come to an end, let’s see how much progress the Shengsheng Cult has made in the past two years.”
The army was like a coiled snake wandering up and down the mountain. There were no lights or passwords. Only Xiang Xun and two other members of the Imperial Security Bureau were leading the way. Tian Tao swallowed his saliva and suppressed the doubts in his heart. I didn’t ask the guy next to me who had been walking side by side with me. These guys from the Imperial Security Bureau seemed to have a mysterious and murderous air about them. It was because they were around me that they gave me an extra chill. It was the last two. When he was young, he didn’t say a word. He just rushed on his way, as if he was busy reincarnating, without even saying a word. Tian Tao felt very unhappy, but the division commander ordered to cooperate fully, without asking any questions, and everything was carried out according to the other party’s requirements. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could only suppress it in his heart.
Turning around the mountain col in front was the Kushui Village. Liao Chong felt nervous. It stands to reason that he was also a person who had been in the mountains of corpses and blood. He had fought in several places in the past few years. He couldn't say that he was indifferent to matters of life and death, but he could still be considered. He was used to it. Looking at the murderous soldiers around him, it was clear that those who could barely be called his colleagues had no chance in front of these soldiers. Liao Chong felt a little unbearable, but since he After leaving the Holy Cult and following Prime Minister Bo and joining the imperial camp, Liao Chong knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the new camp, he had to be ruthless and decisive, hard-hearted and ruthless in his actions. Only in this way would he be able to gain a foothold in the new camp. Only by surrendering can you truly step out of the world again.
The cooperation between Prime Minister Bo and the Young Master made Liao Chong understand that the Taiping Holy Sect of the past has finally become history. The historical trend is unstoppable. The rise of the Tang Empire will inevitably be built on the bones of countless people. If you don't want to become those bones, Then he could only move forward by stepping on those bones. Liao Chong did not hesitate to accept the call of the former Young Master to join the Imperial Security Bureau. He understood that the First and Young Master needed to use his former robes to lay the foundation for the Imperial Security Bureau in front of him. The reputation of this gang of brothers who followed him.
Jumping to the high ground first, Liao Chong signaled Tian Tao to temporarily stop marching with his hand gestures. He needed to confirm the situation. Soon a dark shadow came over. After a handover, Liao Chong confirmed that everything was normal and could proceed as planned.
The dark village was not big. It was scattered on the flat land swallowed by the mountain. It only had about a hundred households. However, a large group of regular army troops was dispatched. Tian Tao felt that it was making a fuss. At this time, he learned from the other party that he There is nothing surprising about the task of wiping out such rebels. Tian Tao is just a little regretful that he finally got a job but it is such an insignificant thing. But on second thought, the Imperial Security Bureau came forward, which is enough to show The empire attaches great importance to these issues. Perhaps completing this task will be even more glorious than winning a battle. Thinking of this, Tian Tao's mood improved a lot.
The fire was quietly lit, and several people huddled behind the rocks and quickly determined the plan based on the terrain map. People from the Imperial Security Bureau also listed the faces and clothing characteristics of several important people who might appear in this area. Tian Tao Memorizing it carefully, I can see that the guys described should be the important leaders of the rebel forces, the remnants of the Taiping Religion. If I capture one of them, my trip will not be in vain. As for these rebels, People are just food on the plate, and your subordinates will make them realize the consequences of being rebellious.
The four squadrons quickly dispersed and approached the village from different directions, and soon controlled the key passes. The combat teams were fully armed and ready to go. As the torches were suddenly raised, each armed combat team quickly rushed into the village. Shouts, barking dogs, scratching sounds, and fighting sounds quickly spread throughout the village.
Liao Chong wanted to admit that the regular army of the empire was indeed not on the same level as the original Taiping Army and Tanghe Imperial Army in terms of discipline and combat effectiveness. Although the methods were cruel and ruthless, he did not see the indiscriminate killing and coaxing and violence that he had imagined. With *'s behavior, the soldiers seemed more dedicated to completing the mission successfully, and the quality displayed by the officers also made Liao Chong realize once again why the Tang Empire rose so unstoppably.
In just three hours, everything came to an end, and the entire Shaiba became a temporary interrogation site and detention point. Everything seemed so peaceful.
