Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

The two had just finished talking when Jiang Huisun, who was some distance away, killed Song Yichun with a single blow.

Tang Yu could even hear Song Yichun's resentful curses before she died.

He cursed the Jiang family to die a horrible death, and cursed his son Song Mo to die a horrible death, regretting that he hadn't poisoned them sooner.

If Jiang Huisun still refused to kill Song Yichun under such resentment, then she would be truly insane.

"That's fine, Ayu. You go back and rest first. I'll go and talk to my mother."

I think she's hesitating about Song Han right now, so I'll help her make a decision.

After Song Mo left, Jiang Huisun remained silent for a long time. She didn't even shed a tear, but stayed silent by herself for a long time.

“I was worried that you would be very upset, after all, he is your biological father, and he hates you so much that he wants you to die a horrible death.”

But now it seems you really don't care about Song Yichun at all, which is good.

Song Mo smiled faintly.

The deepest hatred resides in his past life; he had even personally killed someone in that life, so those emotions had faded.

Moreover, since he has regained Yuan Shen's memories, Song Yichun's identity as his father is even less important.

“Mother, I had a dream that my uncle died on the way to the capital, and then the entire Jiang family was executed.”

Later, you were poisoned to death by your father. I discovered the truth and then killed my father and Han!

However, my fate in the dream wasn't good either; my father poisoned me, and in the end, my whole family died.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huisun looked at his eldest son in surprise.

In fact, ever since the eldest son ran away to live with his elder brother Jiang Meisun when he was a child.

She had always taken good care of her beloved son, Song Han, the child whom Song Yichun had brought into the family.

However, she now has to accept the truth: Song Han is not her son.

"You want to kill Song Han?"

“Mother, if you can’t make up your mind, I can help you.”

I know you're hesitant now, but every time you see Song Han's face in the future, you'll start to resent and loathe him.

At first, Song Han couldn't accept her identity and would cry and say that you are her mother.

But as time goes on, you will inevitably resent and distrust each other; the ending was already predetermined from the moment you learned the truth.

Jiang Huisun remained silent for a while before suddenly asking this question.

"After your uncle wakes up, how do you get him to accept the current situation?"

"Let him forget for now; I don't want to force my uncle to make a choice."

Jiang Meisun certainly had no intention of rebelling, so he continued to appear as a dead general in the eyes of the world.

After the country is at peace, let Jiang Meisun accept his fate.

"Yantang, although there is no turning back now, must we really go down the path of becoming traitors and rebels?"

“Mother, dynastic changes are normal. If the current emperor governs the country well, few people will be willing to rebel.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huisun stopped trying to persuade him and instead made a decision.

"After all, I raised him, so I should give him a proper burial. Let's do it when we get to Futing."

A month later, news of the wrongful death of the Duke of Dingguo arrived, and the pirates in Futing resurfaced, leaving the people who had suffered from the hurricane disaster impoverished.

Thus, under the guidance of public opinion, Tang Yu raised the banner of rebellion in the south and brought the Dingguo Army under his control.

With Song Mo personally joining, the 50,000-strong army naturally had no doubts, and their slogan was to avenge the Duke of Dingguo!

Over the past decade or so, Tang Yu has had various gunpowders invented and put into use on the battlefield.

After all these years of turmoil in Sichuan, it's certainly not just about making money; it's definitely about developing weapons technology.

Gunpowder was already widely used in warfare during the Song Dynasty, not to mention that every army now has dedicated artillery units.

Therefore, Tang Yu brought over his artillery battalion, making the rebellion much easier.

Under such an offensive, Tang Yu completely controlled the situation in Futing in less than a month.

Thus, Tang Yu began his advance towards the Huguang region, while Song Mo marched towards the Jiangzhe region.

Only by controlling the south and completely connecting with Sichuan can the situation in the south be fully under control.

If it were a few hundred years ago, the chances of winning a war from south to north would have been slim.

However, we have now entered the gunpowder age, and the south has both food and weapons, so it is not difficult to defeat them from south to north.

Such a grand rebellion naturally stunned the entire north, especially the emperor and his ministers in the capital.

There have been rebellions over the years, but each one has been easily suppressed.

The main force of the army in the south was originally the Dingguo Army.

However, the Dingguo Army has now joined the rebels, which means that there are no elite forces in the south that can resist them.

This led to the fall of all the southern cities, leaving no army in the south capable of resisting.

In addition, the rebels shouted the slogan of "overthrow the landlords and distribute the land" and distributed land to the people, so the people in the south joined the rebels in a frenzy.

As a result, the southern defenses crumbled one after another, cities fell one after another, and the situation eventually spiraled out of control.

So the Empress and Prince Qing's faction, as well as the Emperor and Crown Prince's faction, were completely dumbfounded. We haven't even decided on the final winner yet, what are you rebels trying to do!

It's impossible to unite against external forces; instead, the infighting within the court has intensified.

Empress Qing and his faction directly encouraged the Crown Prince to lead troops to deal with the rebels. The Crown Prince, who was so stupid, even knelt on the ground and begged his father, the Emperor, for permission. He was willing to personally lead troops to the southern battlefield to quell the rebels. The Emperor was so angry with this Crown Prince that he almost vomited blood.

How could anyone be so stupid? If they go south, they'll either be assassinated by the Empress and Prince Qing's men, or killed by the rebel army in the south.

In short, it's a dead end!

Therefore, the Crown Prince's foolishness was quite endearing, much to the delight of the Empress and Prince Qing's faction.

Of course, this grand rebellion also stunned Dou Zhao, who had been reborn. This had never happened in his previous life.

How did everything change? And why did Song Mo rebel ahead of schedule?!

Of course, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that her business has run into problems.

After leaving the Dou family as a child and starting a business with her grandmother, Cui, Dou Zhao felt as if she had awakened a talent for business.

She was involved in almost everything, from maritime trade to silk and tea.

Now that the south is directly engulfed in war, Dou Zhao's business, along with that of his cousin and his good friend, has been severely impacted.

If it were just a matter of not making money, that would be fine.

The key issue is that the rebels in the south are now seizing land from landlords, while she owns countless properties throughout the country, a large portion of which are in the south.

If the rebels were to distribute all of this, she would lose more than half of her wealth!

Therefore, the actions of the rebels directly forced merchants and landlords in the south to flee north.

The screenwriter gave Dou Zhao a status that was almost that of a billionaire, but Dou Zhao did not register his assets with his own identity. Instead, he used a fake identity to register all his assets. Sorry, this behavior makes me suspect tax evasion, hahaha, but it may be a loophole in the screenwriter's work.

However, when Yu Yu conquers the world, those who own too much land will be targeted by her. Therefore, it's not necessarily malicious targeting of the female lead, Dou Zhao. It's just a brief mention of its impact on the current plot: in the female lead's world, Dou Zhao can be a businessman and do many things in the future, but she simply cannot become a large landowner.

Chapter 17 Yuan Shen and Song Mo 17

Six months later, it was winter, so neither the south nor the north wanted to fight anymore. They reached a tacit agreement to a truce. At this time, the south was completely under the control of Tang Yu's side.

On Song Mo's side, he was mainly fighting against the imperial army, specifically the army brought by the Crown Prince.

These were indeed elite troops from the north, mainly used to protect the crown prince.

The Crown Prince was incredibly foolish; he personally knelt down and begged to lead troops to suppress the rebels.

Empress Qing and Prince Qing's men were stirring things up in the court, and the emperor was powerless to stop them.

If he tried to stop her, the empress might just give him a bowl of medicine and kill him instantly.

So in the end, the crown prince personally led the army to quell the rebellion.

The Empress and Prince Qing's men weren't stupid either; the chances of successfully assassinating the Crown Prince were slim.

Because the emperor also sent many personal guards to protect the crown prince.

In the end, the Queen and her son came up with a solution.

They directly sold the military deployment map to Song Mo, and also revealed the location of the Crown Prince and the arrangement of provisions.

The goal was to get Song Mo to win this battle and to use Song Mo to kill the Crown Prince.

Thus, the emperor was left with only one adult son, Prince Qing, and had no other choice for the next crown prince.

When Tang Yu returned with her army and reunited with Yuan Shen, she laughed when she saw the bound prince.

"You're going to make things very difficult for the Empress's faction. You've captured the Crown Prince but haven't killed him. Apart from the Emperor, the people in the north would probably prefer the Crown Prince to be dead."

After all, this situation is too embarrassing.

"If the Crown Prince dies, Prince Qing can be immediately made Crown Prince, which will unite the Empress's faction. The current situation is just right."

"Good idea. Next year, we should only adopt a defensive posture and temporarily refrain from attacking to the north. What do you think?"

Yuan Shen instantly understood Tang Yu's thoughts.

"You want to force all those merchants and officials to the north so that you can carry out sweeping reforms in the south?"

Tang Yu smiled and nodded, saying that this was the same as the strategy of "surrounding three sides and leaving one side open" in military strategy.

If the unification of the world is completed as soon as possible, then sweeping reforms can be implemented throughout the world.

Those merchants and landlords will surely unite and support a group of bandits to cause trouble all over the world, igniting wars everywhere.

When Yuan Shen first started surveying land, besides the rebels he encountered at the beginning, there were many people across the country who opposed the land survey.

Powerful clans colluding with bandits to ignite wars everywhere, forcing the imperial court to abandon this policy, has been the norm for thousands of years.

Therefore, Tang Yu felt that war should not be fought too quickly. If the world were truly unified, it would force these merchants and landlords to unite and cause trouble.
