Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation
Chapter 405: The God’s Deliverance Army is here!
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.
That time, they relied on the food given by the God to survive until the arrival of spring when all things revived.
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, there were sporadic rumors 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 Your 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 granary of the Imperial Guards.
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 knew about this, but later they were strictly forbidden to talk about it.
This news spread widely during the three years when he continued to be oppressed by the powerful and wealthy and endured heavy taxes and levies from the Wei court.
Everyone then realized that it was because of them, the common people, that the God had angered His Majesty and slandered him 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 to collect supplies and laborers from the people.
Force everyone to strengthen 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.
The heavy city gate rose slowly under the control of the mechanism. A large number of Du'e soldiers rushed into the city, and many civilians could not help but burst into tears.
They succeeded!
The God’s salvation army is here!
*
Hui'an quickly led his soldiers to completely occupy the city gate.
Looking at the dead and wounded civilians on the ground, her joyful mood involuntarily became heavy.
In order to open this city gate, the people in the city suffered thousands of casualties.
They were so thin and their clothes were tattered.
But their bravery and fearlessness are no different from those of the soldiers in the army.
She had never felt so deeply as she did at this moment the significance of the master leading them to conquer the world.
She looked at the civilians who were looking at them with excitement on their faces and asked loudly:
"Where is the leader of the rebel army?"
The remaining hundreds of civilians looked at each other, and finally a tall, thin man with dark skin came out. He had a sad face and a choked voice:
"General, our leader is Huang Anqing... He was just hacked to death by the imperial guards... Now I am leading..."
"What's your name?"
"My little Zhao Shitou!"
Hui'an walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently:
"Zhao Shitou, I'm sorry."
After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked at the other civilians, and said loudly:
"Everyone, rest assured. The God will treat the people well and will never let anyone get hurt or die in vain!"
"All the dead will be included in the Heroes Shrine of our Du'e Army and receive the same fifty taels of compensation as our soldiers. Those with parents and children will receive three hundred coins of compensation every month until their children turn fifteen and their parents pass away."
"Those who are injured or disabled will receive thirty taels of consolation money, and they can also receive a subsidy of three hundred wen per month."
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Hui'an can make his own decisions on such matters.
When the civilians heard this, they were shocked at first, and then felt deeply moved.
They risked their lives to open the city gate, just in a desperate attempt to let the Du'e Army enter the city.
When Daming Prefecture comes under the rule of the God, and new policies are implemented that treat the people well, the living can live a good life, then their lives will not have been lost in vain.
I never expected that the general of the Godly Lord would say such a thing.
If someone died, they would be given fifty taels of silver, and they would also be given money every month to support the elderly and children in the family.
The disabled also receive monthly payments and can also receive thirty taels of compensation.
The lives of poor people have always been worthless.
They never thought that their lives would be so valuable to the God.
This is not because their lives have become valuable, but because the God treats every citizen well and cherishes them!
"On behalf of the brothers who died or were injured, I would like to thank the general and the God!"
Zhao Shitou's eyes turned red and he knelt down to express his gratitude.
Upon hearing this, the other civilians also knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Alright, get up! Get up!"
Hui'an quickly spoke in a gentle voice.
Then he arranged for military doctors to treat the injured civilians, and organized troops to prepare for street fighting with the imperial guards in the city.
The news of the Du'e Army's entry into the city was quickly spread by the people living near the city gate.
When the people learned that the God's salvation army had arrived, their morale was greatly boosted.
Originally, they were afraid of the imperial army and did not dare to be the first to rise up in rebellion.
Now that the Du'e Army has arrived, they have the confidence and backbone.
As a result, tens of thousands of young and strong people spontaneously organized themselves to help the Du'e Army fight against the imperial guards.
The Du'e Army was already looking forward to killing the enemy and making meritorious service, and their fighting spirit was surging. Now with the help of the people in the city, they were even more powerful.
In just three days, more than half of the imperial guards of the Wei Dynasty were captured and killed. The remaining half could no longer stay in Daming City and had to withdraw from it in disgrace and retreat to Guangping Prefecture further north.
*
On the day of entering Daming Prefecture, Hui'an used a communication talisman to report the unexpected situation in Daming Prefecture to his own abbot.
She originally thought that this was the result of the temple master asking Zhang Liu to operate in Daming Prefecture, but she did not expect that the temple master was also surprised.
"Isn't this arranged by you, Master?"
Hui'an couldn't help but ask.
Chen Qingzhu answered with certainty:
"No. Most of Zhang Liu's men are still in Qi and Lu. How can they move so quickly?"
It was one thing to make the soldiers mutiny, but it was another to incite the unarmed civilians to attack the imperial guards.
The gap in combat power between the two was too great. If the incident had not happened suddenly and the imperial guards had not been caught off guard, the casualties among these civilians would have been even greater.
She never intended to incite so many ordinary people to die in vain.
——She originally planned to wait until she broke through the foundation-building stage, and then come in person to take over Daming Mansion at the lowest cost.
However, no one expected that a civil uprising would occur in Daming Prefecture ahead of time.
"You will preside over the land distribution in Daming Prefecture first. I will join you in a month."
Chen Qingzhu ordered.
During this year, she gained a lot of merits and her cultivation speed increased again.
Now we are only one step away from building the foundation.
In a month, she should be able to break through the foundation-building stage and have a 95% chance of directly entering the capital.
(I am a little tired today, so I will update one chapter first and make up for it tomorrow.)
