Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 159 Creating Heaven!
In the 48th year of Chongzhen's reign, you established the "Great Ming Kingdom" in the name of "Tianzun" and, under the banner of "Anti-Ming and Restoration of Ming," declared that the entire Shaanxi province was firmly loyal to the Great Ming Emperor and would do everything in its power to save "His Majesty the Emperor, who had been deceived by corrupt officials!"

[In short, you must declare to the people that you are not a traitor, but a true loyal minister! As for establishing a new country and claiming the title of emperor... that is a last resort. After all, the Emperor is still surrounded by treacherous officials. If you don't establish a new team, won't corrupt officials infiltrate the team?]

[Anyway, you are absolutely right...]

[Of course, although you have established a country and established a system, you still retain the officials of all levels of the Ming Dynasty to show that you have no intention of rebellion.]

[And because they were all your brainwashed fans, they didn't report the relevant matters to the court. The news of your "founding of a nation" was completely blocked in Shaanxi, and the court knew nothing about it...]

It sounds outrageous, but it's actually not. The Divine Emperor won't personally come down to investigate anyway. The court's knowledge of provincial affairs comes entirely from reports from officials at all levels and the Imperial Guard... And now you've wiped them all out in one fell swoop, turning them all into crystalline powder. That means all the court's tentacles of power in Shaanxi have been incited to rebellion. As long as they try to conceal the truth, the court can be effectively blind!

[This is the power of brainwashing! ]

[So, after your establishment and actions, Shaanxi became a country within a country, like a monster parasitizing the zombie body of the Ming Dynasty. The numb zombie was completely unaware of this and could only allow the parasitic monster to grow larger and larger until it completely devoured it...]

[And after you founded your country, you didn't indulge yourself like a villain who had achieved success. You didn't build a luxurious palace in Xi'an, nor did you confer titles on dozens or even hundreds of kings in a row. You also didn't select concubines to fill your harem and then live a life of luxury and debauchery...]

You are merely rectifying the various lingering problems in Shaanxi, such as land annexation, abuse of power for personal gain, and hoarding of goods at high prices... These problems may seem complex, but for you, who now have complete control over the people of Shaanxi, they are actually quite simple.

"Issue a direct order: Anyone who owns more than a certain amount of land must voluntarily distribute it to poor farmers who have no or little land, and also provide a certain amount of seeds, farm tools, and oxen."

[As for the reason... it's simple. Unlike the Divine Emperor, you can't kill someone with a single punch and send them straight to heaven. The only way for you to save the world and send them to the Western Paradise is to allow everyone to live to old age and die!]

If everyone is to live to old age, land and property are essential. Therefore, the excess held by the rich needs to be distributed to the poor. Once the poor have money and food, they will naturally be able to live as long as possible.

Therefore, the rich shouldn't be too concerned about this kind of loss. After all, everyone will go to the Western Paradise to enjoy happiness after death. The Western Paradise is the place where they will live forever in the future, and the mortal world is just a pre-existing copy. The wealth there can't be taken to the Western Paradise...

So, under your kind deception, many rich people, though still somewhat pained, ultimately heartlessly distributed their land to the poor... Many of the poor were deeply moved, patting their chests towards the rich people who had distributed the land, and excitedly saying, "Brother, your kindness is still unrequited! When we both die, I will definitely owe you a favor..."

[They are all blank checks anyway, so just write them!]

[Of course, there are also die-hards who don't want to compromise. They are unwilling to share the family property, but they also don't believe in your charlatan scams...]

[Faced with this "atheist," you smiled faintly, then simply had Lee Lai-hyung lead the newly assembled "Sky Army" to whip their spinning tops!]

[What a joke! Using the promise of ascension to paradise to deceive people is just a kind of advice from you. If they know what's good for them, they'd better believe it! But if they refuse to believe it and still insist on being "atheistic" on this issue, then I can only judge them by their lack of love...]

God loves the world, and love is everything! Love TV, launched!

[In short, under your high-pressure policies, the newly born "Great Ming Kingdom" has gradually prospered, actively developing in a completely different manner from the outside world. It can be said to be a state of thriving vitality and flourishing...]

【…】

[Aside from the internal turmoil, your external actions have not stopped.]

Countless crystal powders traveled from Shaanxi in all directions, acting as "missionaries" to spread their teachings: all who believed in "Tianzun" would achieve perfect merit after death and ascend to the Western Paradise to enjoy the promised land flowing with milk and honey!

The civilians from other provinces were curious: "We've seen those foreign missionaries before. Their teachings are pretty much the same as yours, but they always charge a lot of money for initiation... How much is the initiation fee here?"

The Crystal Powder Missionary smiled and shook his head. He then drew a ritualistic circle with his hands and said devoutly, "The Celestial Lord is not an evil deity or demon. How could he collect money from ordinary people?"

“Anyone who joins my religion only needs to recite the name of the Heavenly Venerable and believe in the Western Paradise.”

[The other party was stunned: "Really not charging money?"]

"I really won't accept it... There's a song that goes: 'Open the city gates, welcome the Heavenly Lord, when the Heavenly Lord comes, no grain will be collected!'"

【other side:?】

[Goodness me, you guys have changed your profession from thieves, right?!]

[While complaining, the other party carefully recited "Tian Zun" in his heart to show his faith!]

[It's free anyway, so I might as well believe it...what if it actually works?]

[The superstitious commoners consoled themselves in this way...] [But the clergy of various sects became uneasy after hearing this!]

The monk was shocked and asked, "You said that when He was born, He pointed to the sky with one hand and to the earth with the other, and He even said with His own mouth that He is the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth?!"

【The missionary nodded.】

The Taoist priest asked in shock, "You said He is the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun?"

【The missionary nodded.】

The monk and the Taoist priest looked at each other in bewilderment: "What does it mean to hunt geese all day only to have a goose peck your eye out? This is it... We've been copying each other for thousands of years, and now, someone else has copied us both!"

[Another reincarnation of Sakyamuni, another reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun... Where's this nesting doll? What kind of abstract patchwork weirdness...]

At this moment, a foreign missionary nearby asked in shock, "You said He is the reincarnation of the Son of God, who will save the world and lead it to heaven?"

The missionary nodded, made a ceremonial circle, and said devoutly, "Amen!"

【Foreign missionary: ……】

"No... Even if He is truly the reincarnation of the Son of God, then if you were to draw something, you'd draw a cross. What's the point of a circle?!" the foreign missionary asked, bewildered.

The missionary said devoutly, "The cross was the instrument of torture used by the Heavenly Venerable in his previous life as the Son of God. Now that he has been reincarnated in this life, he naturally cannot use the image of the torture instrument from his previous life."

The foreigner was even more confused: "No... didn't you say He hasn't died in this life? If He doesn't use the cross from His previous life, then He won't have any torture instruments in this life? What's the circle?"

The missionary replied, "Although the reincarnation of the Son of Heaven has never died, Your Majesty has died..."

"The Celestial Lord has acknowledged that He is the reincarnation of the Holy Son, and Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Holy Father!"

[“According to the Trinity, since the Son is equal to the Father, the instruments of torture used by Your Majesty during His Passion were naturally those of the Heavenly Lord…”]

At this point, the foreigner seemed to understand: "Your Majesty's torture instrument? A circle? Could it be..."

"Yes, that's the hemp rope His Majesty used to hang himself on Coal Hill!"

[As he spoke, the missionary drew another circle, then spoke earnestly in a reverent tone, in front of everyone's bewildered expressions.]

“Now that the Heavenly Lord has descended and personally acknowledged Him as the reincarnation of the gods of various religions, we must unite as one family and establish orthodoxy!”

"Merging Buddhism, Taoism, and Western religions into our religion, this is the unification of the three religions into one!"

"Everyone, why don't you quickly return to our orthodoxy and ascend to the Western Paradise as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing this undisguised intention of annexation, the Buddhists and Taoists were apprehensive and hesitated to express their opinions. However, for some reason, the foreign missionary was quite receptive. Not only did his expression gradually soften, but he even took the initiative to ask curiously, "If we want to join the religion, what should we do? Is it just silently chanting the name of the Heavenly Venerable?"

"Of course not!"

The missionary smiled and shook his head. "That's how commoners join the church. We, the followers of the Heavenly Lord, can't do it so easily... Let's see!"

[As he spoke, he sat down on the ground, took off his shoes, and then stretched out the soles of his feet for everyone to see.]

Everyone looked in surprise, only to see the words "repeated" written on the bottom of his left foot and "clearly" written on the bottom of his right foot. Together, they formed the sect's symbol...

【Anti-Ming, restore Ming! 】

[Everyone: ...Too crazy!]
