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

Chapter 285 Conquest of the Mongols!

Zhao Gou was the biggest traitor within the Southern Song Dynasty during its northern expeditions!

Once you understand this, you can't help but feel a bit uneasy: No wonder the Song army struggled so much against the Jin soldiers in the Song-Jin War, while the Mongol cavalry could even overpower the demoralized Jin soldiers in the Mongol-Jin War. It turns out there was something else going on behind the scenes...

Because Zhao Gou's lustful divine power and the unknown divine power of the Jin state were of different kinds, when the Song people saw the Jin people, the Jin people would be stimulated by the different divine power and manifest mutated forms. Under the divine power command of Wanyan Wuzhu, the Jin army in these mutated forms had combat power that had transcended the level of mortals. Of course, the Southern Song soldiers could not win, and even Yue Fei would be helpless!

On the other hand, the Mongols, without a divine emperor, did not possess the same extraordinary divine power as the Song people. Naturally, they would not provoke the Jin soldiers to mutate. Without mutation, the Jin soldiers would maintain their true state of military decay and depravity... And the Mongols, as a newly emerging nomadic empire, were certainly not comparable to the already decadent Jin state. If the two sides fought, the Jin state would naturally suffer greatly...

Therefore, the Southern Song-Jin War was a high-level game in hell mode, with mutated Jin soldiers battling a primordial Song army!

The Mongol-Jin war on the northern front was essentially a battle between ordinary people. While it was commendable in terms of the scale of a mortal war, its intensity was nothing compared to the southern front—it was basically a low-level skirmish between noobs...

In this way, "Divine Zhao Gou," who protected the Song Dynasty in the south with his divine power of lust, naturally became, in a sense, the biggest traitor. If it weren't for him, the war situation wouldn't have been so difficult...

[But then again, if Zhao Gou hadn't used his divine power to protect the Southern Song, the Southern Song would most likely still have lost to the Jin... This isn't to belittle the Song army's bravery, but rather because Wanyan Wuzhu truly possessed divine power! Although Jin soldiers would revert to mortals without the stimulation of lustful divine power, those old fogies like Wanyan Wuzhu were not mortals!]

[They have the backing of the Jin Dynasty's emperor, an unspeakable evil god. Even without mutation, there's no guarantee they won't resort to some strange and bizarre methods...]

Your argument is: In the original history, the Jin Dynasty was brought to collapse by the Mongols long ago, but the Jin Dynasty has lasted for more than a hundred years longer than in the original history, which shows that Wanyan Wuzhu and his people were not simple!

Therefore, your complaints about Zhao Gou being an "insider" only lasted a short while before stopping... You understand that while Zhao Gou made the Song-Jin war incredibly difficult, he also objectively preserved half of the Southern Song Dynasty's territory.

To evaluate Him, we cannot simply label Him as good or bad, but must objectively recognize His multifaceted nature...

【…】

In short, the important information revealed in your conversation with Brother Wanyan has greatly broadened your horizons and given you a more comprehensive perspective on the complex world situation.

Therefore, you also began to think about your future strategic direction...

[First, your development plan in the Jin Kingdom cannot be changed. No matter what, you must strive to reach the pinnacle of power in the Jin Kingdom and find an opportunity to investigate more about the Jin emperor and his chaotic divine power in order to resolve the conflict between the Song and Jin dynasties.]

To achieve your goal of promotion and a raise, your best approach is to win battles and earn merit!

[And now, just when you're feeling sleepy, a perfect opportunity arises. Since you've run out of military merits for promotion on the southern front, it's time to head to the northern front and grind some more merits with the Mongol cavalry...]

This is such a precious opportunity, how can you let it slip away?

[So, a thought suddenly crossed your mind, and you immediately bowed deeply to the old man Wanyan before you: "If you do not despise me, I am willing to serve you as a righteous man..." Bah!]

"If you do not abandon me, brother, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you through thick and thin! In the future, when we go to the battlefield, I will protect you even at the cost of my life!"

【"loyalty!"】

You resolutely pledged your loyalty to him!

[And that's exactly what Brother Wanyan was waiting for! He was instantly thrilled upon hearing your blatant declaration of loyalty!]

As a member of the Wanyan family, although his bloodline was separated from the royal family by countless generations, just as Liu Bei wanted to restore the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was completely unrelated to him, he, a member of a distant branch of the Wanyan family, also wanted to restore the Jin Dynasty!

Furthermore, he deeply abhorred the corruption of the powerful and wealthy officials of the time, believing that these very possessions were what had brought chaos to the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, it can be seen that he was actually one of the few insightful individuals among the Jurchen nobility.

At this critical juncture for the Great Jin, how could he remain indifferent? In fact, he had long desired to eliminate the corrupt rulers and become the leader of the Great Jin himself! It was precisely for this reason that he wanted to dedicate himself to the Mongol-Jin war on the northern front, both to achieve personal merit and to contribute to the restoration of the Great Jin dynasty!

However, he was ultimately somewhat isolated and outnumbered... As a distant descendant of the Wanyan clan, he didn't actually have much political influence or a reliable base of support. Given the decline of the nation, it would be difficult for him to find Jurchen nobles who shared his dedication to the country to join him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to turn his attention to the Han Chinese...

Although Han Chinese were not Jurchen nobles, with sufficient ability and military achievements, they could indeed rise to the upper echelons of power... However, such capable individuals were rare in any ethnic group, and he searched for a long time without finding a suitable candidate.

[Until you appeared...] [You have an innocent background, are all alone, and are tall, strong, and possess exceptional combat skills. Your leadership in numerous quelling rebellions has fully demonstrated your strength! But you are not just a reckless fighter; from your daily words and actions, he can clearly see that you possess high strategic and tactical abilities... You are a talent among talents!]

And most importantly, you're a rising star he personally promoted, so you're naturally brothers in the same camp...

Such a perfect person is practically a godsend for him! How could he not seize the opportunity to completely win you over?

[And that's why he tested you today... Clearly, your perfect performance has once again passed his test!]

【"good!"】

Overjoyed, Brother Wanyan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "There's no better time than today! Let's become sworn brothers!"

"We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year!"

You naturally agreed seriously!

From that day forward, you became sworn brothers with this Wanyan prince, effectively binding yourself to his cause and fighting alongside him... In return, he became your guide into the Jin dynasty's power structure!

【…】

In the 210th year of the Shaoxing era of the Song Dynasty, you and your brother Wanyan became sworn brothers, vowing to restore the Jin Dynasty!

Your slogan is: "Make Daikin great again!"

That year, Wanyan's elder brother submitted an application to his superiors voluntarily transferring to the northern front against the Mongol-Jin forces... Soon after, the approval came down: granted!

[We were just worried about not having any Jurchen nobles willing to go to the battlefield, and suddenly a member of the Wanyan clan volunteered. We should definitely promote him!]

[Thus, with great praise from his superiors, Brother Wanyan officially became famous in the surrounding prefectures and counties... Afterwards, he was transferred to the Mongol-Jin battlefield on the northern front, and you, as his personally chosen follower, were naturally transferred there as well.]

[From this year onwards, you officially began your journey to achieve great things...]

[Having arrived at the real battlefield, you can't help but feel your heart pounding. Although you've never fought against Mongol cavalry before, you believe that as long as you fight steadily and surely, you will definitely not lose to them!]

[However, the Jin Dynasty's military was ultimately in disarray, so you couldn't immediately achieve a feat like "Sealing the Wolf's Lair" (a legendary military victory). In the early stages, you could only train your troops and prepare for the upcoming war... Of course, while training your troops, you also began to cultivate your power!]

[If you want to make the Great Jin Dynasty great again, simply being good at fighting and killing isn't enough. You also need an elite army that fully supports you. As for how to train such an army... you have a lot of experience!]

[And so, you quickly began your indoctrination efforts in the army camp under the banner of Brother Wanyan: you taught them martial arts, literacy, historical allusions… and most importantly, the concept of “loyalty”!]

【"loyalty!"】

"We can never repay the kindness of the Great Jin!"

【“…”】

[Soon afterward, these impassioned shouts echoed throughout the military camp!]

Seeing this, you realized the time was almost up, so you began the final step...

In the 211th year of the Shaoxing era of the Song Dynasty, you and your subordinates formally established an organization named "The Unity Society"!

"One heart for the Great Jin! One heart for Wanyan!"

"Let the Great Kim Jong Un-Mongol be great again!"
