Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 1: In Jintian, I am a demon

The sun rises in the east, and the morning light dispels the darkness.

Just like a baby bird breaking out of its shell, after breaking free from a thin membrane that existed in the dark, Li Yi's consciousness regained clarity from his drowsiness.

When he opened his eyes, everything in front of him made him feel confused.

This is a room decorated in an antique style.

There were carved wooden beams, window frames covered with silk cotton paper, and an old bed hung with a green gauze curtain that had turned white from washing.

There was a dark copper brazier on the floor, and the charcoal in the brazier had long since burned into white embers.

As a result, the dark and cramped room was inevitably damp and cold.

As his drowsy brain regained consciousness, unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind and the expression on Li Yi's face gradually fell.

Now he has good news and bad news.

The good news is that he traveled through time, from a 35-year-old man to a middle-aged house slave who was laid off by the company.

He traveled through time and space and became a young Green Camp officer in the Qing Dynasty.

Although he is only a captain now, he still has a stable job.

It’s hereditary!
Although he cannot be said to be rich and powerful, at least he does not have to bear the burden of a 30-year mortgage and become a house slave in this life, nor does he have to worry about being laid off by the company when he reaches middle age.

Sure enough, the end of the universe is organization!
A stable job is so good!

The bad news is that it is now the late Qing Dynasty.

To be more precise, it was the end of the 30th year of the reign of Emperor Daoguang.

The location is Guiping County, Xunzhou Prefecture, Guangxi.

Guiping County is affiliated to Xunzhou, and Jintian Village is 40 miles north of the city.

The Jintian Village where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s Jintian Uprising took place.

If his memory served him correctly, it was December 23rd of the 30th year of the reign of Emperor Daoguang.

And a dozen days later, on the eleventh day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Xianfeng reign, the Jintian Uprising, which shocked the entire country, swept across most of the world, and even almost completely overthrew the Qing Dynasty, was about to break out.

At that time, Xunzhou City, which is only 40 miles away from Jintian Town, will inevitably be hit first.

Li Yi: Thank you for the invitation. I just traveled through time and I’m in Jintian. I’m a Qing demon and I’m waiting in line for the reopening…

From the perspective of "wearing the Qing clothes without rebelling, and putting an electric drill into the chrysanthemum", the Jintian Uprising might be an opportunity.

An ideal opportunity to take advantage of the momentum of the Jintian Uprising, rise up with the wind, and realize his goal of expelling the Tartars, restoring China, overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and allowing the Chinese nation to stand at the top of the world again.

But the problem is, now he is a fucking Qing demon!

Just based on his hereditary position as the leader of the Green Camp, in the eyes of the Taiping Army, he was definitely a die-hard Qing demon.

If he falls into the hands of the Taiping Army, he might be killed by "Yun Zhongxue".

It's really fucked up...

I just came here, and I haven't even secured my iron rice bowl yet. If I'm not careful, I'll be buried with the Qing Dynasty.

He was numb, he was really numb!

Li Yi sat on the bed for nearly fifteen minutes before he reluctantly accepted the reality.

Get ready to dress and go out to report to the military camp.

Although the Jintian Uprising has not officially broken out yet, undercurrents have already been surging in Xunzhou Prefecture.

It is no secret that the God Worshipping Society took advantage of the successive natural disasters in Guangxi in recent years to gather its followers in Xunzhou Prefecture and prepare for an uprising.

Naturally, the Qing court could not remain indifferent to this.

Not only did he urgently transfer a Guizhou troop from Guizhou, led by Guizhou General Zhou Fengqi, to Xunzhou Prefecture to prepare to quell the rebellion.

He also cracked down on the training of the Green Camp stationed in Xunzhou.

Li Yi and other grassroots officers had to report to the military camp every day, and then preside over military training and intensify preparations for war.

In Li Yi's memory, his immediate superior, Li Dianyuan, deputy general of Xunzhou, was very concerned about this.

There were already several grassroots officers at the level of Qianzong and Bazong in Xunzhou Association who were punished with caning for failing to show up for duty.

Li Yi put on his clothes, picked up the purse on the bedside table and prepared to go out.

But just as he picked up the purse, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

[Ding~ It is detected that the host has two taels and one qian of silver. Do you want to top up? ]

[Please select yes or no! ] Li Yi's expression froze, and he understood something in his heart.

Goldfinger?
He opened the purse in his hand thoughtfully and counted it. There was exactly two taels and one qian of silver in it.

Li Yi subconsciously chose the option of 'yes'.

The next moment, he felt the purse in his hand become lighter. When he looked again, the two taels and one qian of silver in the purse had disappeared out of thin air.

Li Yi's eyes blurred and the light screen in front of him changed.

[Recharge successful]

【Balance: 2 taels and 1 qian of silver.】

[Mall activation successful, please select a category...]

Li Yi sat back on the bed and began to study his golden finger.

Soon, he had an idea.

It is very easy to use your own cheat code, it is just a mall.

You can add money to it and then buy goods from the mall.

The types of goods there are diverse and all-encompassing: arms and weapons, hardware accessories, daily necessities, medicines and side dishes, books and knowledge, science and technology... and so on.

Among them, a considerable number are future products.

The selling price of goods also follows certain rules. The higher the technological content of the future product, the more expensive it is.

However, if the goods are already available in this era and can be produced, the price will be relatively low.

For example, Li Yi counted the number of zeros after the price of controlled nuclear fusion technology several times but still couldn't figure it out.

But if you just want to buy food, these two taels and one penny of silver can buy more than 500 kilograms of rice, and the price is even much cheaper than the rice shop in the city.

In addition, the mall has a spending limit.

Li Yi's monthly spending in the mall is limited to less than 10,000 taels of silver and cannot exceed it.

If the current month's consumption amount is not used up, it can be added to the next month's consumption amount.

As for how to increase the credit limit?
Li Yi hasn't found a solution yet.

Restraining his excitement, Li Yi withdrew his attention from the panel, and the panel disappeared out of thin air.

Li Yi concentrated his attention, and soon the panel appeared again.

Li Yi collected his thoughts and prepared to go out. It was already late. If he delayed any further, he would miss the time for the military camp to report for duty.

He didn't want to be stripped of his pants and spanked in public just after he put it on.

It won’t be too late to study Golden Finger slowly when he has free time.

As for how to save himself in the upcoming Jintian Uprising, Li Yi already had a rough idea.

Li Yi said that he could also talk and he could also believe in God.

You know, there is no record of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom killing surrendered soldiers, either privately or officially.

On the contrary, the Qing army, representing the imperial court, massacred the city and killed the surrendered soldiers many times, which was extremely brutal.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only cruel to the Manchus and the Eight Banners.

The emperor was relatively generous to ordinary surrendered soldiers, accepting those who were willing to join the army and sending those who were unwilling to do so back home.

What’s more, there was someone like Li Yi who took the initiative to surrender before the uprising!
If Li Yi surrendered at this time, even if it was for a thousand pounds of horse bones, the Taiping Army would not treat him unfairly.

Hong Xiuquan might appoint him as a high-ranking official.

At that time, maybe he could really use the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's momentum sweeping across the world to realize his ideals and accomplish his great cause.

Anyway, Li Yi has no psychological pressure at all about rebelling against the Qing Dynasty.

On the contrary, if he did not rebel and continued to serve the Aisin-Gioro family and the Eight Banners, he would really feel uncomfortable.

Li Yi pushed open the door and walked out. The golden sunlight shone on his face. His young face echoed with the rising sun, making him unforgettable at first sight.

Li Yi took a deep breath of the fresh air mixed with a bit of chill in the early morning of the cold winter, and he felt refreshed.

"Da Qing, I'm coming!"
