Great Tang Southern Emperor

"What?" Sima wrongly looked in that direction. He didn't see the ammunition, but he saw two living people - the black man named Ben Yin and the white man named Creevey who appeared later were standing there.

"That's right." Although there was no ammunition, Sima Cuo's eyes lit up. Since Li Zhen expected...or knew the news that the enemy was going to attack Yegang in advance, then he might also know the news of Guan Hong's rebellion, that is, him. It is very likely that he has prepared in advance, maybe it is a secret weapon that is no less than mines and torpedoes. If this is the case, then not only may he not die, but he may even turn defeat into victory.

"Meet the two adults..."

Benyin and Creevey were talking when Sima made a mistake and came over.

"What's the matter, Vice Governor?" Ben Yin turned around and asked.

"Uh...it's like this..." Sima Cuo explained his affairs roughly, and then asked with a little hope: "Since His Royal Highness has prepared secret weapons at the port, may I ask you to also prepare for the rear? If there is any, please take it out, my lords, otherwise once the army’s ammunition is exhausted, we are really likely to fail.”

"This..." Benyin and Creevey looked at each other, and then said: "You guessed right, regarding His Highness's arrangement, he did leave a batch of secret weapons for you, but these weapons are not in our possession. In the hands, because when His Royal Highness handed over the weapons to us, they were divided into three parts. I hold the torpedoes, and Creevey holds the sea mines. As for the mines prepared for you, they are in the hands of another person. It's called Luo Lin... But you don't have to worry, your situation is fine now, so Luo Lin didn't give you the mines, as long as you fall into decline, he will naturally send the mines to you."

"Isn't this a critical situation? Our weapons and ammunition are almost exhausted. If it's a little later, something will happen." Sima was in a hurry and asked quickly, but he was relieved in his heart , anyway, it is good to have a secret weapon. Having a secret weapon means that he can win this war without worrying about losing his life.

Benyin thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make a trip for you and ask Luo Lin for you to see if I can take out the mine."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Benying."

"You're welcome, it's all for the prince." Ben Yin waved his hand with a smile, and at the same time he did not forget to remind: "But don't be too happy, because as far as I know, the nature of this mine is similar to that of a sea mine, and it cannot take the initiative Attacking the enemy, but being buried in the soil, it will explode only when it is triggered, which means that it is a defensive weapon, but if you want to use it to win the war, then don’t even think about it.”

"No, I'm satisfied if I can keep it, as long as the enemy is trapped there." Although he was a little disappointed, Sima Cuo also knew that it was not the time to pick and choose, so he quickly said: "As for the task of destroying the enemy Leave it to the reinforcements, anyway, we don’t have much ammunition, even if it’s really an assault weapon, we won’t be able to use it.”

"It would be great if you could think like this." Ben Yin said with a smile, "Come with me, I'll take you to see Luo Lin."

"Then thank you, Mr. Benyin." Sima Cuo was grateful.

"You're welcome, they're all my brothers."

Chapter 1169 Hands-on (1)

Chapter 1 Sixteen Hands-on (1)

Just when Ben Yin and Luo Lin took out the mines and surrounded Guan Hong's army, somewhere in the Tianzhu Continent, a major event happened.

Potabi, the former capital of the Chaluqi Dynasty, has been renamed Tacheng since the Tang Dynasty occupied it. There are a full 1 troops in the garrison—of course, most of the [-] garrisons here, or more than [-]% are locals newly recruited from Tianzhu. Although the combat power is not only five, it is definitely not more than ten , can only be used as a city defense force, don't even think about fighting, even if you go out of the city to fight, at most you can only fight bandits or indigenous tribes in the nearby mountains and forests, if you want to fight tough battles on the real battlefield, it is definitely not enough.

However, although the combat power is not good, it is still a garrison of 1 people, and there are about [-] real elites of the Tang Dynasty among them, which also deterred the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. Five years have passed, here There has never been a war, not even a conflict with more than two digits of people, so this place is also known as the safest place in the Tianzhu Continent.

In addition, the city lord sent here by the imperial court is quite capable. In a few years, the huge tower city has been governed prosperously, and the happiness of the local Tianzhu people has soared. According to the happiness level survey, Tacheng was ranked No.1, which is a bit higher than the real capital of Tianzhu Dudufu, the capital of the original festival dynasty, Qunv City.

As for those port cities with a very developed economy, they are far behind Tacheng. A developed economy does not mean that the residents are happy. After all, a developed economy leads to a fast pace of life, and everyone is struggling to survive. , Get up early and be greedy for night every day, how can there be any sense of happiness?Even such a place may have the lowest sense of happiness.

For example, the four most economically developed places in China in later generations, the four major cities in the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, did not make the list of residents' happiness rankings. On the contrary, those cities with a mid-range economic level are more likely to be on the list, such as Xinyang, Huizhou, Yantai and other places. The degree of economic development is not to mention the whole country, and even the province may not be the top, but in the 2017 rankings, these three cities are all on the list, which can be seen.

But just today, there was a sudden riot in Pocheng. The two thousand Tang troops in the Tacheng City Defense Army who had been training honestly in the barracks and rarely appeared in front of people suddenly mobilized and broke into the city directly. It was very clear that they came to the outside of a candy factory and surrounded the whole factory.

Tianzhu has superior geographical conditions and is one of the natural sugar processing bases. After the Tang people occupied this place, they also introduced some sugar-making technology from the Central Plains here, and built factories here, which naturally included candy-making technology.Later, some Tianzhu people also learned new candy manufacturing techniques from the Tang people, and also opened a factory to make a lot of money, and the current factory belongs to a Tianzhu native.

The action here quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, and everyone talked about it.

"What is this doing? Is it an exercise?" Some people thought it was an exercise.

"Have you ever seen a drill that only surrounds one place?" But this point of view was immediately refuted. It's not like they haven't seen the drill. When the Tang army first took over here, in order to deter Xiaoxiao, they did it more than once. It was also at that time that Tang Jun's powerful attack power made the Tianzhu people finally understand why their country failed-what kind of will, what courage, what kind of power they had before the devastating artillery fire. The feelings of family and country are all nonsense, and the only thing they can think about is how to live.

Later, after the Tang people completely ruled here, they brought a lot of policies and technologies and various commodities from the Tang Dynasty, which greatly improved the living standards of the Tianzhu people. Compared with the previous countries fighting each other, they may be caught on the battlefield at any time It's much better than that - just like this two-pronged approach of carrots and sticks, it finally completely convinced the Tianzhu people.

"By the way, isn't this old Singh's candy factory? How could it be surrounded?" Someone recognized the origin of the candy factory. It was a factory opened by a very prestigious Kshatriya caste in the local area. Tianzhu belongs to a high caste, and should have been a class enemy, but after the Tang people conquered the Tianzhu people, some Kshatriyas abandoned their darkness and turned to the Ming Dynasty, and they took the initiative to join the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also considered conquering here, and also needed prestigious people. The local people helped Datang stabilize the people's hearts and familiarize themselves with the local environment, so they did not kill them all, but accepted them.The only difference is that these people no longer have their former status. From now on, they are just ordinary people in Datang’s colony in Tianzhu. They can do business normally, and they can also farm land. Datang promises that no one will come to trouble them. But correspondingly, they no longer have the power they used to have—and this old Singer is one of such people.

"It's strange. Old Singer has been very kind to us on weekdays, but he has helped poor families a lot, and he will take out the spoiled candies and give them to those who can't afford them (here we are talking about spoiled candies) It's not about expired sugar, but it refers to inferior candies with poor color or uneven color distribution after production. Such candies will not be accepted by merchants, but it is easy to mix and match colors when they are returned to the furnace, so the colors need to be separated. , the cost is more expensive than re-making a batch, and it is generally disposed of cheaply or given away), why did our army surround this place?" This is the strong assimilation of Han culture, although it only occupied this place It's only been five years, but because of Datang's various policies here and the efforts of outstanding officials, the people in Tianzhu have become more and more recognized for Datang, and now they call themselves Tang people, and the army is also our army. Rather than the army of the Tang people.

"Could it be that old Singer is a bad guy?" This sentence also shows how popular Datang is in the local area - when a person who is usually kind and generous is troubled by the army, the local people don't think that the army will kill good people indiscriminately Now, but will this good person think of a bad person?Of course, there is also Singh who is a Kshatriya, and most of these people belong to the oppressed people. Although his usual actions have gradually influenced the people around him, they are not fully recognized by others after all, so he will be in trouble when something happens. Suspected of being a bad guy.

Chapter 1170 A Thousand Sins

Chapter 1 Seventeen: A Thousand Sins

"..."

The common people talked a lot, but no one could guess the purpose of Tang Jun's doing this, so they could only guess wildly from the sidelines.

Finally, a brave commoner couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and boldly came to the leading captain: "My lords, why did you surround Old Singer's factory?"

The captain looked at this man, thinking that things have come to this point, and it is only today before Singer's true face is revealed, so it is better to explain to the people in advance, after all, Singer's reputation is still very high in this generation Yes, if you don't explain the situation, maybe it will arouse the common people's disgust towards Datang.

After trying to understand the joint, the captain patiently explained: "The Singer you are talking about is actually a follower of the pl sect hidden in Tianzhu, and also the highest person in charge of the Brahmin dark force 'Mahatian'. He participated in [-]% of all sabotage activities on the Tianzhu Continent. Even the assassination and death of our most respected Master Liancheng Yilian was planned by him himself-he is actually a pl and not a Kshatriya. cheated by him."

"What? Pl? Not Kshatriya?" The people were in an uproar. If Kshatriya is still curable, and there is still a little bit of possibility of being accepted by the people, then the Brahmins are really shouted by everyone. Hit - not only because all the pl are loyal believers of the pl, but Li Zhen declared them to be the Shoe Sect, so they have become street rats that everyone shouts and beats. If it was just a decree issued by a ruler and the people attacked it, then it is impossible for them to have developed in Tianzhu for more than 1000 years.

The real reason is that after occupying this place, in order to reduce the influence of the Brahmins, Li Zhen sent people to start collecting evidence of the crimes committed by the PL Sect. Evidence and information of bad things, ranging from overthrowing the country, assassinating the monarch, down to the bullying of the people by certain religious members, committing crimes, and so on, add up to more than a thousand pieces.

After obtaining these evidences, Li Zhen was not polite, and publicized all of them as quickly as possible—by the way, if these bad things only happened once or twice, people would still accept them. Yes, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be one or two rat droppings in the rice. It is quite normal for the Brahmanism to have one or two villains, and the common people can accept it.

But when all these bad things were put together, the nature changed. There were thousands of things they did, and the successful change from quantity led to qualitative change. When the people knew about it, they immediately became angry—— — You must know that this is just a summary of the year. They did so many bad things in one year. The Brahmins have developed in Tianzhu for thousands of years. How many bad things have they done?I'm afraid I can't count them all, right?

As a result, people who had a bad impression of the PL religion are now full of anger. Even those middle-of-the-roaders have sided with Datang one after another, treating PL as beasts, scum among people, and even those who worshiped on weekdays. PL, some of the believers who still have good intentions turned their guns and voted for Datang.

In fact, it is normal to say that there are so many evil things. After all, Brahmins have developed in Tianzhu for thousands of years, and their roots are deep. Even Buddhism has never done them, which shows how deep their roots are in Tianzhu.

As we all know, the older the power, the easier it is to be born and decay, not only the PL religion, but also the Buddhism, and there are many disgusting things done in history.

Not to mention the dynasties with a long history, there are countless rotten and disgusting things. In those Western countries, the people are relatively obedient. No matter how corrupt the ruler is, it is difficult for large-scale chaos to occur.Not to mention the peasant uprising, so their rule is very stable, no matter how corrupt the ruler is, it is difficult to be overthrown, even if it is overthrown, it will be replaced by foreign or internal nobles, and the dynasty killed by the peasants But there is none.

Everyone has only heard of the Daze Township Uprising, the Green Forest Army Uprising, the Red Eyebrow Army Uprising, the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Chao Uprising, the Fangla Uprising, the Red Scarf Army Uprising, and the Li Zicheng Uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, etc. There are countless of them. These are still familiar to everyone. It is relatively well-known, and the rest are like the Li Te uprising in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Sun En uprising in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (that is, Sun En, the celestial master in "Legend of the Borderlands"). So many times, but where have you heard of any large-scale peasant uprisings in the West?

No, or very few - except for a Spartan uprising fighting for freedom, there is no more famous peasant uprising event in European history, and even the Spartan uprising, the main members are slaves rather than slaves Farmers, they just want to get freedom, not want to fight for any rights.

There are three reasons for this: First, ancient Europe was vast in land and sparsely populated, its productivity was backward, and its country was small and its population was small, which simply could not meet the standards of a large-scale peasant uprising.European countries are generally small in size, and enfeoffment and feudal manor economy are prevalent. Each lord manor is an independent small kingdom. A manor has only a few people, and people don’t communicate much at ordinary times, so it is difficult to break out large-scale farmers. uprising.If there was a peasant uprising, the lord and his knights would be wiped out within minutes when they came out of the nearby castle.Even if the mob cannot be suppressed, as long as you ask for help from other nearby lords, other lords will come to support them soon. Because the lords are basically relatives, the probability of success of the peasant riot is very small.But then Europe's productivity increased, the population increased, and manors were broken up, and peasant uprisings came in waves.

Second, Europe practiced the route of elite soldiers, and the army was professional. Nobles and lords used their territories to support knights who were loyal to them.These knights are loyal, well-equipped, and well-trained. They are all paid for, and peasants like beggars are not their opponents at all.This is completely different from the militia in ancient China. China's militia system made it easy for Chinese peasants to succeed in rioting.

Third, Europe is a religious society. Religion deeply affects every European. They think that they are born sinful and should suffer. Therefore, when faced with oppression, they often choose to submit to it. Therefore, when faced with the cruel exploitation of the rulers, they just submit to it. , rather than rise up against.

Fourth, the power in European countries is in the hands of the church and the nobility, and the power replacement is mostly the combination of the nobility and the nobility or the combination of the nobility and the church. These are the affairs of the upper class and have nothing to do with the peasants.By the time farmers participated in the distribution of power, Europe had entered the industrial age of capitalism, but at that time it was already dominated by capitalists and workers, and it had nothing to do with farmers.

Chapter 1171 The Empire Is Decaying

Chapter 1 The Decay of the Empire

This is completely different from China. The history before the Qin Dynasty is too complicated so I won’t talk about it. Let’s just say that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the Daze Township Uprising, Chen Sheng’s statement of "the prince and the general Xiangning have kindness" completely broke the The shackles in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Ancient China was a unified dynasty, and all power was in the hands of landlords and gentry bureaucrats.In order to seize power, the peasants and the gentry class often combine to make revolutions, and such massive peasant uprisings often succeed.From then on, the common people no longer believed in the destiny, and believed that the princes who have no way can do justice for the sky, and whoever has the biggest fist will be the emperor. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang gave the Chinese peasant uprising a bad or a good start.
