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

Chapter 297 Prelude to the Mutiny
【"waste!"】

[Wanyan, who had once again come down to inspect the training, was furious with his incompetent distant relatives, and his curses echoed throughout the military camp!]

[And the thousands of Wanyan's descendants all bowed their heads before this angry elder, their former arrogance and pride regarding their royal status gone.]

There's no other reason than the Mongol Imperial Guards that have gradually grown stronger under your command...

To be honest, although everyone has always been a bit proud of their bloodline, their families have long since fallen on hard times. The Wanyan descendants who can come to the border army to earn a living have already accepted the reality of their family's decline, and are not the kind of royal descendants with the Heavenly Mark who look down on others as lowly commoners...

[And most importantly, when you actually bestow the power of tyranny upon them, they are already stunned by this alien divine power, so different from the power of chaos!]

No one present was a fool, and no one was unaware of what this divine power truly meant... It meant that you, this Han Chinese general, were truly qualified to defeat Jin Wuzhu and overthrow the Jin Dynasty!

In a sense, you are actually a young divine emperor. Although you are currently weak, you will eventually stand on equal footing with the Jin emperor, and may even establish a new dynasty, becoming a founding emperor on par with Wanyan Aguda!

Under these circumstances, everyone was actually quite excited: if you could really overthrow the Jin dynasty and replace it, wouldn't that mean everyone could become the founding emperor?! Wouldn't that be like taking off on the spot?!

What? Loyal to the Great Jin?

[What kind of bullshit Jin Dynasty is this? In the Jin Dynasty, we're just nominal royalty, practically broke, and we're so poor we're practically selling our pants. And you dare tell me you're loyal to the Jin Dynasty?]

[Compared to being a member of the royal family in name only in the Jin Dynasty, it's obviously much more enjoyable to be the emperor of the new dynasty, Yuan Cong...]

[Also, those who understand the situation have already adjusted their mindset and are prepared to work diligently under your command, hoping to earn a high-paying position in the future!]

[If they had a choice, they would whip the bronze-tipped leather belts until they broke, determined to extract every last drop of strength from the Mongol nobles!]

However, the result was that, because their thinking never reached the level of "class contradiction," they found it difficult to truly regard the Mongol nobles from beyond the Great Wall, who were completely unrelated to them, as enemies. Consequently, no matter how much they tried to pull out their copper-tipped leather belts, they couldn't extract even a fraction of their divine power...

This matter has always been a source of anxiety for everyone.

[However, everyone shouldn't panic, because based on previous information, there aren't many people who meet the requirements of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and it's highly likely that only members of the Wanyan clan qualify... Since you are your only option, there's no need for them to be in a rush; they can just take their time.]

Therefore, although everyone is anxious because they can't draw upon their divine power for a long time, they're not in a particularly urgent situation...

But now things are different, because everyone has a replacement!

[Ever since you started bringing the Mongols into the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Wanyan clan members, who were initially in a state of lukewarm concern, have started to panic: A replacement has appeared so quickly?! What are we supposed to do now?!]

This panic intensified as more and more Mongols joined the ranks. People couldn't eat or sleep properly, their dreams filled with the Mongol invasion and the displacement of their brothers… If, when a new dynasty is established, the entire court is filled with Mongol nobles, people might mistake you for a Borjigin clan…

[This is precisely why Wanyan Zongli frequently berated them with exasperation: "Damn it! What's wrong with these relatives? You were here first, how come the Mongols beat you to it?!"]

If the Jurchens were to withdraw from the center of power, wouldn't my Wanyan clan be truly finished?

[No! This can't go on! It must be because our relatives aren't working hard enough; we really need to keep pushing them...] [...]

Of course, he didn't know that you never intended for the Jurchens or Mongols to continue controlling power in the Central Plains!

Although you have abandoned the nationalistic slogan of "expelling the Jin invaders," this does not mean you intend to establish a replica of the Jin dynasty... Once the Jin dynasty is destroyed, the Jurchen rule over the Central Plains should come to an end!

From this day forward, no foreign regime will ever again oppress the people of the Central Plains. Even if you absorb Jurchens and Mongols into your new regime, those absorbed will be treated the same as the Han Chinese. Legally, all ethnic groups will be equal!

[Regardless of ethnicity, no one will ever again gain the right to dominate other ethnic groups, because this is a class-based regime, not a national one...]

With this lofty ideal in your heart, you stride forward, even if the road is full of thorns, even if there are two bottomless pits ahead waiting for you to slowly find a way to fill them, you will not stop!

【…】

[In the 219th year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, the number of Mongols under your command who possessed divine power gradually increased, causing panic among the Jurchens who had joined earlier... Thus, in order to protect their position and to demonstrate their unwavering stance to the newly arrived Mongols, the Wanyan clan members went completely mad!]

[Under the furious urging of Brother Wanyan, they diligently studied the theory of class hatred every day and deeply pondered General Zhou's great thoughts and spirit... Ultimately, their hard work paid off!]

Before long, these thousand-plus Wanyan disciples had all gained a basic grasp of the tyrannical divine power and achieved self-sufficiency, able to acquire it by pulling copper-tipped leather belts from Mongol nobles!

Seeing this, you couldn't help but praise them, which moved them to tears: "We can never repay the general's kindness..."

[And once the Mongols and Jurchens both mastered the power of tyranny, you no longer hesitated and directly granted them official positions!]

In the 219th year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, Zhou Jinu, a rising star general of the Jin Dynasty, formally established a powerful elite force. The force was primarily composed of Mongol herders and distant relatives of the Jurchen royal family, enhanced by their tyrannical superhuman strength. Although their numbers were relatively small, only a little over three thousand, they were capable of routing an enemy force several times their size in direct combat!

Such a powerful army naturally deserves a resounding name... After much deliberation, you finally decided to name them "Jinyiwei" (Imperial Guards)!

Although there's no money to buy them fine clothes or embroidered spring knives, and they're not even in charge of surveillance, they'll truly be called "Jinyiwei" (Imperial Guards) from now on...

Now that you've built such a powerful army, it's time to start doing something big!

【…】

In the 220th year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, you left your elder brother Wanyan, who was nominally of higher rank than you, on the Mongolian grasslands to command the "Jinyiwei" (Imperial Guards). They were tasked with both dealing with Mongol attacks on the border and capturing Mongol nobles to use as spooling fuel for their spun tops...

[You, on the other hand, remained in the country under the pretext of "training troops," where you extensively propagated class ideology among hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers and recruited Jin soldiers and officers into the "One Heart Society," establishing a powerful military command system for yourself!]

Your obvious actions and your blatantly rebellious stance could not possibly be hidden from Jin Wuzhu and his followers...
