After rebirth, I became a national teacher

This story begins with the relief work provided by Chen Qingzhu, the God of Deliverance, for the snowstorm three years ago.

The people of Northern Zhili were suffering greatly, being exploited by the powerful people in the capital.

When they were trapped by a snowstorm and almost in despair, the God of Du'e sent them precious food.

This was the first time they actually received so much relief food during a natural disaster.

Everyone knew that the reason those corrupt officials were so honest in distributing all the food to them was entirely due to the intimidation of the God.

This time, they relied on these foods to survive until the arrival of spring when all things came back to life.

Although life was still difficult, no one starved to death due to the blizzard.

Everyone remembers the great grace and care of the God.

Not long after, the Goddess Du'e was labeled a demon by the court. The court announced that she had kidnapped children to dig out their hearts and make elixirs.

Everyone was confused as to how such a compassionate deity could be an evil demon.

Are there really evil demons in the world who are so kind to the people?

Later, about half a year ago, rumors came out that the reason why the God was labeled a traitor by the emperor was because of that batch of disaster relief supplies.

The God asked His Majesty to provide relief to the people in the snow-hit areas, but the Emperor refused. On the surface, he agreed to the God's request in the court, but secretly transferred the relief supplies. The God had no choice but to take away the military grain depot of the imperial army.

As for kidnapping children, it was also to save the eldest prince who was taken by the emperor to sacrifice to the evil spirit.

This news was also confirmed by some people who went to Beijing to work.

Many people in the capital know about this, but now it is strictly forbidden to discuss it.

Everyone then realized that it was because of them, the common people, that the God had angered His Majesty and was slandered as a demon and a traitor.

The people were filled with grief and indignation:

What kind of world is this?

Corrupt officials are rampant, while those who truly serve the people do not have a good end.

Just when some people with lofty ideals were preparing to jointly petition the court to restore the reputation of the God of Du'e, they heard from merchants from the south that the God of Du'e had returned to his hometown in Nandu and started an uprising there.

Today, the power of the God has already unified the south of the Yangtze River and is heading north, changing the world wherever he goes.

All the land in the hands of the big families was taken back and distributed free of charge to the common people.

Every citizen, regardless of gender, could get three acres of land, but only had to pay 20% tax.

All taxes added up to only 20%, and no other taxes will be charged beyond this.

Nowadays in Jiangnan, ordinary people have surplus food in every household, and every household can often eat meat and eggs.

The more the people of Daming Prefecture listened, the more they longed for the rule of the Divine Lord.

Many people think the same thing:

The God is so merciful. Being ruled by her is a thousand times better than that crappy imperial court!

It would be great if the God also occupied Daming!

A few months later, winter came again.

They kept hearing that the Divine Lord's army was heading north and other states were rushing to surrender.

The people began to expect that their own prefecture, Daming, would also smoothly submit to the rule of the God, just like other prefectures.

However, their dreams were shattered in the twelfth lunar month.

The imperial court sent tens of thousands of imperial troops to occupy Daming City, and massively requisitioned supplies and laborers from the city, forcing everyone to reinforce the city walls and dig trenches and traps.

They also shouted slogans, vowing to annihilate the Du'e Army and force them to go back to Jiangnan!

The people who had been waiting for so long were filled with grief, anger and despair.

Hope was clearly within reach, and the Du'e Army was clearly only a hundred miles away from them.

However, the imperial court intervened and not only could they not be under the rule of the God, but they were also dragged into the war and forced to become a force to stop the God from taking action!

In such an atmosphere, the ambitious people among the civilians began to contact each other privately and organize manpower. Finally, when the Du'e Army broke into the city and prepared to attack it, they directly rioted and seized the city gate.
