Chapter 1675 Kneeling is not easy
He issued a notice to reassure the people on the night the Yao Palace coup succeeded, which shows how urgent his situation was.
However, it is always easier to destroy than to build, and easier to cause riots than to maintain stability. When King Yao was in power, Bai Tan and Qing Yang secretly disrupted the situation and instigated the refugees to riot, which made King Yao very anxious and overwhelmed. Now it is Bai Tan's turn to manage Tianshui City himself, and he immediately tasted the pain of King Yao.
Moreover, in order to overthrow the rule of Yao Ting in the early days, he mobilized and relied on refugees.
These refugees followed him in looting, smashing and burning, and became participants in the coup. They thought they had played a role in following the emperor. After the Yaogong Incident, they became arrogant and continued to disturb the people in Tianshui City. They even went further and robbed and killed people in groups.
Tianshui City is now Bai Tan’s base, how can he just ignore it?
This resulted in hundreds of arrests, and conflicts arose between the two sides.
The refugees were angry:
Without our help, how could the Bai man have killed King Yao and taken Tianshui City so easily?
This anger could not be suppressed for a few days and broke out under the catalysis of Emperor Liujiang!
Bai Tan had no choice but to mobilize his troops and suppress the rebellion. However, among his newly recruited troops, there were also a large number of refugees' children. How could they raise sticks against their elders and brothers at this time?
So in the following few nights of Emperor Liujiang, Tianshui City returned to chaos, filled with violence and blood, looting and murder, and the situation got more out of control with each night.
At this time, not to mention the refugees, even the common people were complaining about the new rulers of Tianshui City.
Bai Tan finally experienced firsthand how difficult it was for King Yao, and finally realized why the problem of refugees was the cancer of Tianshui City.
At this time, the first team to attack Bai Tan also appeared.
After Bai Tan successfully captured Tianshui City, he sent his trusted generals to Mangzhou, attempting to occupy it before other forces could react.
Mangzhou is the second largest city in Yao State. Its population, resources, and geographical advantages are impeccable, and its geographical location is even more advantageous than that of Tianshui City. If Bai Tan can take Mangzhou, he will have two of the best cities in his hands, and his chances of winning will increase greatly no matter which opponent he faces.
He had a good strategic vision and was good at making plans, but unfortunately, his trusted general had just arrived in Mangzhou when the city defenders pretended to surrender, so he lured him into the city and successfully assassinated him, forcing Bai Tan's army to withdraw from Mangzhou.
The city defender Xu then declared war on Bai Tan and cursed him harshly in the city-wide mobilization order, vowing that the two would never coexist.
The timing was perfect, as a riot among refugees happened to break out in Tianshui City.
Since the first person to step forward appeared, three or four anti-White forces followed suit.
The pause button pressed by Di Liujiang finally rebounded.
All of a sudden, the land of Yao was in turmoil.
So where is Qingyang at this time? According to the information obtained by He Lingchuan, she is still sitting firmly in the Youhu Villa on the outskirts of Tianshui City, and guests with unpredictable origins often visit her.
Because she was rewarded by the gods and was named the guardian of the heavenly palace.
He Lingchuan was also a little emotional when he heard the news. Qingyang was the Demon Emperor's confidant. When he was Beijia's national teacher, he must have made trouble for the Heavenly Palace. Later, he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Palace because of the immortality medicine case. As a result, he was given the title of guardian by the Heavenly Palace even though he was thousands of miles away.
Maybe she herself feels that life is unpredictable?
"Qingyang is still in Tianshui City, which means their plan is going well." He Lingchuan commented, "The chaos in Yao Country is like a big dough. If there is too much water, the gods and Beijia will add more dough; if there is too little dough, the gods and Beijia will add more water. But don't worry, the last thing they want to do is to keep everything equal."
"Success and failure are here." He said playfully, "Bai Tan slaughtered the royal family and officials of Yao on the day of the incident. This was too hasty. His iron fist certainly has many benefits, such as cutting the grass and eliminating the unstable factors in the city, such as the wealth accumulated by these wealthy families for generations was plundered by him in one wave, but the side effects are also obvious."
In the Glittering Gold Plains, that is a huge amount of wealth. It would be strange if Bai Tan wasn't envious.
"Which of the high officials and generals from other places in Yao Country doesn't have relatives and property in Tianshui City? If Bai Tan kills them indiscriminately, he will make great enemies with them. Moreover, his methods are so brutal and he has no mercy at all. His opponents know that he intends to kill them all. Even if they surrender, they will not have a good ending. They can only fight him to the death."
Wanqi Feng asked: "My Lord, the He who founded the Shen Kingdom... He also killed everyone in Jiuyuan City, how come he didn't get retaliated against?"
He Lingchuan knew that he was talking about He Chunhua, his cheap father.
"On the surface, both are killing people, but their intentions are very different." He analyzed to everyone, "Bai Tan used the power of the palace coup to kill all the high-ranking officials and his enemies in the court. In the process, countless people were killed and killed by mistake, causing extreme panic. However, He Chunhua demoted all the officials of the former Yuanting Court to civilians. He killed the corrupt and bribed officials, as well as those who were involved in the injustice of the He family more than 20 years ago. This is a very clear direction. Although the final result was that they both accumulated money and power, He Chunhua's handling method was more sophisticated and smooth."
"It is said that 'people are divided into groups'. If you want to harm or kill someone, you must first discredit the target, frame them with crimes, label them, separate them from the crowd, and let them be pointed at and killed by everyone. In this way, others will find that you are not targeting them, and will feel at ease watching you harm the target, and even cheer you on from the sidelines. If you go a step further, you only need to beckon them and they will rush over to punch and kick you."
"Divide, win over, suppress—" He held up his fingers one by one, "These three words are the general outline of the struggle."
Compared with He Chunhua, who endures humiliation and is born with a lot of tricks, Bai Tan, who comes from a prominent family, seems to lack experience in struggle and uses rough means, which of course makes him more likely to provoke backlash.
"Secondly, He Chunhua massacred Yuandu only after he had defeated all his rivals in the country. At that time, Grand Marshal Dong Haoming had already surrendered, and the gods in the Kshatriya heaven clearly stood behind He Chunhua. He no longer had any decent enemies, so he could boldly raise his butcher knife." In short, He Chunhua conquered the country, so who would dare to resist him?
"Bai Tan started a massacre right after the coup. He seemed to be swift and resolute, but in fact he made enemies everywhere." He Lingchuan smiled, "Look, the gods have not come forward to acknowledge his identity yet, which shows that his prestige is far from enough to convince the public."
"They all involve killing with swords, but the consequences are very different. Bai Tan still has a long way to go if he wants to become king smoothly and get Miao Zhantian's recognition. There are still many opponents to kill!" He couldn't help but sigh, "History has started the next cycle so quickly, it's really humorous."
Aunt Zhu interrupted: "Reincarnation? What reincarnation?"
"As long as the influence of Bejia and the gods still covers the Shining Gold Plain, whether it is Yaodi or other places in Shining Gold, no matter how these forces fight, no matter who becomes the king, they will eventually follow the old path of Yao Country."
"This is the beginning of evil." He said slowly, "Why was Yao Kingdom able to grow so big in the Golden Plains? It was because the ancestors of King Yao were the most well-behaved and obedient, and they knelt the best and licked the best. That's why they were able to stand out from many competitors and maintain their prosperity for two hundred years."
The first deity worshipped by the Yao Kingdom was the Kshatriyas, also a celestial god.
"However, as time went on and generations passed, the Yao nation, from top to bottom, became arrogant and vain, and began to have unreasonable expectations."
"They have forgotten their duty, and their posture of kneeling and worshipping the gods is no longer as standard and respectful as that of their ancestors."
"They have forgotten their identities and even raised their own status. They no longer want to be dogs, but want to be their master's companions."
"But a dog is a dog. Once a dog, always a dog.
"Since our ancestors chose to be dogs for the gods, their descendants must also be dogs. There is no other way."
He Lingchuan sneered: "What do you think Bai Tan, Tu Han and others in Yaodi are really fighting for?"
Wanqi Feng spoke on behalf of everyone: "Power?"
"Power is only a superficial appearance. What they are ultimately fighting for is the favor of Beijia and the gods. You can see that Qingyang is still firmly seated in Youhu Cottage. This is called devoting all the resources of the flash gold to win the favor of the alien gods." He Lingchuan casually poured out a furnace of elixirs. The furnace was already red-hot, hotter than a branding iron. "But they think too simply. The success of Yao Country is hard to replicate. It's not like these people can just kneel down and call you master and then be fed by others."
"There are so many dogs waiting to be favored, so many dogs that can wag their tails, why should the gods favor them? They have to be competitive, and they have to carefully understand their masters' intentions, and be anxious about their masters' anxieties and think about their masters' thoughts. They have to do well what their masters think of; and they have to do more radically, more perfectly, and do their best for what their masters don't think of. Only in this way can they stand out from the group of dogs and get their masters' favor and rewards."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
After a long while, Wanqi Liang finally sighed, "It doesn't sound that easy. Isn't it said that kneeling down is the easiest?"
Wang Fubao hummed: "Of course, is it so easy to be a dog?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
But as I laughed, I couldn't laugh anymore.
Being a dog requires awareness and an attitude.
Otherwise, their final fate would be like that of Yao Guo, being served on the host's dinner table.
Then the owner will look for the next good dog.
"For nearly a thousand years, the history of Shanjin has been repeating itself in this way." In fact, it's more than just Shanjin. He Lingchuan asked them, "So, how can we break this cycle?"
"Break the fantasy, don't kneel in the first place! Once you kneel, your descendants will be like this forever." Wanqi Liang said loudly, "Since this is the beginning of evil, we must cut it off at the source."
"Yes, don't kneel at the beginning." He Lingchuan looked towards the west, calmly and firmly, "For yourself, for future generations, and for all living beings in the world."
King Yuan refused to kneel.
Zhong Shengguang and General Hong also refused to kneel.
Now, carrying on Panlong’s legacy, he will also hold his head high and stride forward.
When this last sentence was uttered, He Lingchuan's mind and heart began to buzz, like the sound of bells and chimes.
The lingering sound continued, and the sea of consciousness was shaking constantly.
Only this feeling remains calm amidst the storms, solid as a rock.
National Day is approaching, and I have some thoughts, so I’d like to write down some of my thoughts.
