Hong Wanren led the White Lotus Sect's demons into Quanzhou City, and along the way, they did not encounter any decent resistance.
Soon Hong Wanren arrived at the Zhizhou Mansion. As the highest authority here, Hong Wanren believed that as long as he occupied the Zhizhou Mansion, it would be equivalent to occupying Quanzhou City.
It would be even better if the prefect of Quanzhou could be captured and killed on the city wall.
But unfortunately, the governor of Quanzhou had long since run away, and there was no trace of anyone inside, not even a mouse could be found.
Although it was a pity that the prefect of Quanzhou was not captured, it did not mean that it was not a great victory.
Hong Wanren sat in the main seat of the prefectural government, looking at his men below with a hearty laugh. "Everyone, I never thought that this wealthy Quanzhou city could be captured so easily. This matter must be made public!"
The subordinates also cheered. Of course, they had to celebrate wildly after the great victory.
Quanzhou City is so rich, it has everything to eat, wear and use. Now all these good things are theirs!
Hong Wanren waved his hand and said, "Go and call all the most popular girls here. I want to get drunk with you all tonight!"
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The evil people of the White Lotus Sect ran rampant in the city, breaking into houses, burning, killing, and looting.
Those civilians who did not choose to escape, or did not have time to escape, could only hide in their houses in fear, hoping that the rebels would not rush in.
All kinds of things that go beyond the bottom line of human morality happened in Quanzhou City, while Hong Wanren and others were drinking and chatting happily in the prefectural mansion.
"Come on, fill it up! What are you doing? Feeding the fish? Drink it all!"
"Master, shouldn't we be more alert? If the surrounding troops attack at this time, we will be in a passive position."
"What are you afraid of? I've already contacted the people at sea. They started landing yesterday, and now all the surrounding troops have been drawn there."
"Besides, even if they come back, what can we do? It's not like we haven't confronted the Da Qi army before. They are just a bunch of drunkards."
"You see, they never expected us to attack suddenly. The city is rich in supplies. Even if we defend the city and don't leave, we can stay here for a long time."
"Don't be idle during this period. Continue to preach and let the people here know how great our Holy Church is! Let them all voluntarily join our Holy Church and sacrifice their lives for it!"
Why has the White Lotus Sect always been a stubborn problem in the Great Qi? Because the White Lotus Sect's speed of spreading its teachings is too fast.
They are like cockroaches. If one of them appears, the surrounding area may become the territory of the White Lotus Sect.
After so many years of dedicated research, they have developed a very professional set of brainwashing techniques.
People who lack logical ability can easily be led into trouble by them.
And the places where they preach are mostly in the countryside, and you can't expect the farmers in the countryside to have the same logical reasoning ability as Di Renjie.
At this time, someone nearby laughed and said, "Master, you're right. We've made a killing this time. I didn't expect Quanzhou City to be so defenseless. We can get a lot of good stuff just by smashing any store."
Hong Wanren also knew what this person meant by saying this at this time. He waved his hand domineeringly and said, "You don't have to hand over the good things you snatched this time. Keep them for yourselves. When you have money, you must raise the banner of our White Lotus Sect again as soon as possible."
Hong Wanren stood up from his seat enthusiastically, threw the young woman in his arms aside, and said, "After the failure of the last uprising, I realized one thing: relying on ordinary people is ultimately just a mob."
"If we want to seize the great treasure, we must have an elite division that can always be used. I have already made up my mind to invest a lot of money in this elite division every year. This elite division will be the capital of our survival."
Hong Wanren looked towards the north, his eyes full of fanaticism as he said, "Then we will march north and take the head of that dog emperor!"
As he spoke, Hong Wanren pointed his finger towards the northwest Xuantian, and then he saw countless flames rushing towards him in the sky over there.
"Are these shooting stars? There are so many of them, so beautiful. Could it be that God also thinks I should replace Da Qi?"
This was Hong Wanren's last thought. When he had this thought and his joy had not yet fully blossomed, the area around him turned into a sea of fire.
Looking at the fiercely burning Quanzhou City, Lu Chen put down the telescope with satisfaction. He looked at Mou Ping beside him with some embarrassment and said, "Am I being cruel?"
Mou Ping immediately shook his head in a servile manner, "No, no, how could that be possible? Master Imperial Master, you have always been compassionate."
Lu Chen smiled kindly, revealing his eight snow-white teeth. He patted Mou Ping on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, why would I enjoy chatting with you? You are such a down-to-earth person."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Wuchen and said, "Since we're not cruel enough, let's be even more cruel! Where are the incendiary bombs? Don't be shy, use them all!"
With Lu Chen's order, the cannons on the ship roared even louder, and incendiary bombs began to enter the battlefield. The entire Quanzhou city instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Countless people who fled from Quanzhou City couldn't help but cover their faces and cry bitterly when they saw that the hometown where they once lived had become a disaster.
At this time, Sun Guangjin stood up tremblingly and said to the people around him: "Don't be discouraged, there was nothing in this place back then, and we still relied on our hard-working hands to build the previous Quanzhou City."
"The imperial court is now planning to vigorously develop Quanzhou, so I'm sure financial support will arrive soon. Furthermore, there's a lot of demand for manpower in the reconstruction of Quanzhou, so there's no need to worry about not finding a job."
But just when everyone's emotions were about to calm down, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "That's not right! If Quanzhou City is burned to ruins, will the court continue to invest money here?"
This simple sentence gave everyone present a chill.
Yes, now that Quanzhou City is gone, the real estate is a joke!
You have lost your property and even the foundation has been burned. People want to build a new city in this place. Why do you ask them for money?
If they couldn't get money from the court, all the big businessmen present would go bankrupt.
All the big businessmen went bankrupt, so what happened to the money they borrowed?
If this money cannot be repaid, doesn’t it mean that the money that the people of Quanzhou City deposited in the loan company will be wasted?
Everyone was so excited at that moment that some people even fainted!
Looking closely, it turned out to be Sun Guangjin!
