Lü Shinang then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"General."
Lü Shinang opened his eyes.
However, it was the spirit of the towering god, Shen Gang from Fuzhou, who had returned.
"Is there a problem?"
Shen Gang said, "This humble general believes that the Holy Maiden has been blinded by hatred."
"Attack on Huzhou will kill everyone."
Lü Shinang also joined Manichaeism.
However, he did not believe in Manichaeism.
He studied military strategy books from a young age and had the world in his heart.
He only saw Fang La as a local hero.
Manichaeism was also very powerful.
They believed that Fang La might be able to conquer the world.
Only then did they sell their property to raise money and grain to offer to Fang La.
It takes a lot of time and effort.
He became an important leader of Manichaeism.
He completely disbelieved in the doctrines of Manichaeism.
Seeing Fang La's behavior after he became emperor,
He became even more skeptical.
Manichaeism's doctrine: Humans are the product of the Dark Lord.
Indulging in lust and strife,
Only the messenger of light can save people from suffering.
However, after the Holy Duke became emperor, he became obsessed with women.
Not to mention any messengers of light.
It is clear that there are no messengers of light in this world.
Doctrines are just things used to fool fools.
This is similar to the Buddhist concepts of the eight sufferings, seven emotions, and six desires in life.
They all say how bitter life is.
If you believe in them, you can get rid of these sufferings.
But there are many lewd monks in this world.
It is evident that all humans possess desires.
It can't be banned easily.
Chapter 1816 Each with their own thoughts
After the Manicheans breached the city...
The practice of massacring all officials.
Lü Shinang felt this was unacceptable.
Without officials,
After they captured the state capital
Who should govern?
A group of people with absolutely no experience in politics were appointed to official positions.
It will probably become even more absurd.
Furthermore, not all officials are bad people.
However, they massacred all the officials.
This was permitted by Saint Fangla in the first place.
His followers are now mainly Manichaeans.
He couldn't very well issue a direct prohibition.
Lu Shinang shook his head and said, "Although the Holy Maiden is somewhat eccentric,"
"But what he said makes some sense."
"If we could capture Huzhou,"
"There is no rival left in Jiangnan."
"However, Tong Guan established a new dynasty in Huzhou,"
"The city walls have probably been fortified considerably."
"And we lack siege equipment,"
"It will be quite difficult to take Huzhou."
Shen Gang nodded and said, "The general is right."
"In my opinion, it would be safer to head south and capture Fujian Road."
“There are also many believers on Fujian Road, and they can provide support,”
"I believe we will soon be able to capture several prefectures and revive our religious cause."
"Moreover, the Song Dynasty had just fallen, and the various prefectures were not under each other's jurisdiction,"
"If we wait until they pledge allegiance to the new dynasty,"
"At that time, it would probably be very difficult to go south again."
"Even if we capture Huzhou and kill Tong Guan."
"Who knows, another remnant of the Zhao Song imperial family might suddenly appear somewhere,"
"To take over the foundation of the new dynasty,"
"We will suffer heavy losses then,"
"They also have to face the new dynasty's suppression,"
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult to survive."
Lu Shinang nodded and said, "You're right."
"Many members of the Zhao Song imperial family migrated south,"
"Tong Guan was able to promote someone to prominence,"
"After he dies, someone else can bring out another one."
"Although the Song Dynasty was corrupt,"
"However, there are still quite a few prefectures and counties that are willing to remain loyal to the Song Dynasty."
"Indeed, we destroyed the new dynasty in Huzhou,"
"It will only give rise to another new dynasty,"
"And our troops will suffer great losses as a result,"
"It is very likely that they will never recover."
"It's not worth it."
Upon hearing this, Lü Shinang
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Shen Gang's eyes darted around, and he said again,
"This humble general has one more thing to say,"
I'm not sure if I should say this.
Lü Shinang smiled and said, "Please speak freely."
Shen Gang looked around.
"If we capture Huzhou,"
"To rebuild the empire, with the Holy Maiden by our side,"
"Wouldn't that mean we'd be establishing the Yongle Kingdom again?"
"When the Holy Duke founded the Yongle Kingdom,"
"Establishing the position of King Liang is not based on his status within the religion,"
"We should also follow the example of the Song Dynasty and establish our own dynasty."
"If the Yongle Kingdom were rebuilt,"
"Wouldn't the throne then have to be handed over to the Fang family?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Shinang frowned.
He converted to Manichaeism.
It's just an attempt to leverage the influence of Manichaeism.
To accomplish something great.
Fang La is now dead.
The troops were all in his hands.
How could he be content with having worked so hard to build this empire?
Then hand it over to the Fang family.
Seeing that Lü Shinang seemed somewhat interested, Shen Gang added,
"I teach the resurgence of our foundation,"
"It's all thanks to the general's efforts,"
"If someone else becomes the new emperor,"
"How can we win everyone's hearts?"
"At that time, my army might fall apart."
Lu Shinang nodded and said,
"Then what can you do?"
Shen Gang looked around again, gritted his teeth, and said,
"If we didn't have the Holy Maiden and Fang Jie,"
"The general is the highest-ranking person in the sect,"
"The general is the only choice for the new emperor."
Upon hearing this, Lü Shinang
His eyes narrowed involuntarily.
He stared at Shen Gang without moving.
Shen Gang met Lü Shinang's murderous gaze and hurriedly said,
"This humble general was only thinking of the general's best interests and had no other intentions."
Lu Shinang stared at Shen Gang for a while before speaking.
