Chapter 72. The Yuan court in the waning mountains
Since the encirclement and suppression of Guangming Ding by the major factions, this chaotic rivers and lakes have rarely spent months of peace, and there have been few disputes in the rivers and lakes for several months.
Correspondingly, above the court in this world, there are more and more treacherous clouds, and the rebel armies all over the world have suddenly grown to a terrible point in just three months!
———— a few months ago, when the flood season came, the Yuan court forcibly conscripted farmers to repair the Yellow River, and when the farmers were digging the river and damming it, they dug out a one-eyed stone man from the river beach.
Since then, there has suddenly been a proverb among the people: 'Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel against the world!' ’。
Although many people of insight have guessed that this time must be artificial, but the world of this Yuan Court has already reached a situation where it is difficult to return.
Over the years, natural and man-made disasters have continued year after year, and the officials under the rule of the Yuan Court have already made the world erosive, and the people are struggling to make a living.
Yes, even though this is just a drama deliberately designed and arranged by people with intentions, those who have long been anti-Yuan are just waiting for an opportunity and excuse to start an incident.
And the appearance of the Yellow River One-eyed Stone Man happened to give them the opportunity to shout out the voice of 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning'... In just a few months, countless people all over the world have raised the banner of righteousness (anti) and responded with their voices.
In just a few days, there were three people who called themselves the kings of Dongshan in Dongshan, and there were seven Taishan Marquis in Yuantai... Even among the several mountain villages at the foot of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, they all established themselves as countries and elected a 'mountain valley emperor'!
Such a scene simply made the Yuan Court angry, and it felt incredible, a group of soldiers did not exceed 100, there were few generals, or a donkey general with a hoe and a donkey, and he dared to call himself X Gaozu and call the emperor on the throne, really when their Yuan Court was muddy? !
The Yuan court reacted quickly, sending troops stationed in various places to suppress the rebellion.
In just a few months, the army of the Yuan court destroyed twelve emperors, more than thirty anti-kings, and those who claimed to be generals and marquis, let alone countless!
For a time, smoke erupted all over the world, and the Yuan court swept through with a thunderous force, quickly suppressing this rebellion that spread all over the world.
And in the midst of this turmoil, I don't know how many people were forced to get involved in this turmoil and suffer because of it.
However, near Wudang Mountain, it is quite calm and peaceful, after all, with Wudang in charge, whether it is the Yuan soldiers or those bandits and villains who take the opportunity to make trouble, few dare to come and provoke the tiger's beard.
Although at the beginning, in the villages and towns at the foot of Wudang, there were also a few people who responded to this anti-Yuan trend, and established themselves as kings, asking the surrounding people and wealthy families to supply grain, grass, horses, weapons and other things, and by the way, they also wanted to pick a few beautiful big girls and little daughters-in-law to fill in their harem beauties.
But before the next day, those scum who took the opportunity to make trouble and plagued the villagers were directly taken off by Song Qingshu, Zhang Wuji and others, who were ordered to go down the mountain, and hung them on the city gate tower.
Since then, within a radius of 100 miles near Wudang, those who want to experience the ambition of being a tyrant have completely disappeared, even those righteous people who are really willing to resist Meng Yuan and return the people of the world to a peaceful and prosperous world, they are also very conscious of leaving.
After all, they also knew that their existence would inevitably lead to the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan Court, and if they stayed here, it would only bring disaster to the nearby people.
And if they left, the Yuan court would not let the military disaster spread to this point because of the power of Wudang, which was equivalent to protecting their rear and hometown from invading.
What followed was a months-long chaotic war, and the Yuan court, after paying a great price, finally suppressed this anti-Yuan tide.
Although the largest anti-Yuan forces have not been completely defeated, those small forces that took advantage of the situation were directly swept away by the Yuan Court, which can be regarded as forcibly giving the Yuan Court the last wave of life.
However, after this battle, the Yuan court side was also greatly injured, and the small number of troops in his hands was also consumed, and the imperial power was already unstable.
Anyone who has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that the Han suppressed the peasant uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, but the Han Dynasty finally perished.
And Meng Yuan's current situation is even more difficult than that of the Han Dynasty back then, after all, they are the Central Plains where foreign races have entered the Central Plains, and in this world, more than seventy percent of the people are the sons of the Han family!
The tide of this uprising was finally suppressed by the Yuan Court, and the world seemed to be calm again, but everyone still knew that this was just the appearance, and under this calm appearance, there was an undercurrent, and the next greater chaos was already brewing!
On the side of the Yuan Court, this can naturally be seen, so after the victory of the army, the Yuan Court not only did not put the horse on Nanshan, but was more active in preparing for the war, and the small actions against all parts of the world were continuous.
It is worth mentioning that just two days ago, the Yuan court also specially sent an angel (referring to the eunuchs sent by the emperor to deliver the decree) to visit Wudang and reward Wudang up and down.
The Yuan court pardoned Zhang Sanfeng as a Xuanzhen Mystery Kunyang Zhenren, and was named the Great Yuan National Teacher, and even directly ranked Lao Zhang in the immortal class and compiled it into the immortal list.
And Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and other seven people have also been named a lot of awkward Taoist names, ranking among the immortal classes.
Even Lu Zhi, Song Qingshu and other more well-known disciples of the third generation of Wudang, the Yuan Court did not ignore them, and directly approved them, so that they could also ascend to heaven with the chicken dog and 'become immortals' together.
In addition, the Yuan court also sent 30,000 taels of gold, three large boxes of coral treasures, and 600 volumes of Taoist classics.... Almost sparing no expense, he rewarded Wudang lavishly.
It can be seen that Yuan Ting's actions are nothing more than to show favor to Wudang, in order to win over the people of Wudang.
It's a pity that Lao Zhang has never cared about these false names, and he is not so obsessed with becoming an immortal ancestor, and besides, Yuan Ting can't do that kind of thing, so just give him a name.
Therefore, Lao Zhang did not hesitate to directly refuse the reward of the Yuan Court, and directly asked people to send the people of the Yuan Court down the mountain.
But that Yuan Ting is also cheeky, and he doesn't care if Lao Zhang Tong disagrees or not, after he goes back, he directly publicizes it all over the world, Wudang was named the head of the world's Taoist sects, and Zhang Sanfeng is the national teacher of Dayuan...
If it weren't for Meng Yuan's side having his own religious beliefs and not being allowed to change, I'm afraid that the Yuan court would have to directly learn from Li Er in the Tang Dynasty and pardon Taoist Wudang as his Great Yuan State Religion!
Similar to the situation on the Wudang side, there was also Shaolin, and the Yuan Court also sent people to the Shaolin Temple to reward the group of great monks.
And Shaolin, naturally, like Wudang, refused the reward of the Yuan Court.
If it is said that Dayuan is in full swing, I am afraid that Shaolin will really accept it half-pushing, after all, when the Jin Kingdom was in power, they Shaolin already had such a precedent.
But at this time, everyone can see that you Meng Yuan has already sunset, and he Shaolin is still thinking about whether to follow the example of the predecessor of the thirteen stick monks who saved the Tang King, who cares about you.
The rewards sent out by myself were rejected one after another, and the Yuan Court side was not annoyed, and continued to sing a one-man show by himself, anyway, whether you agree or not, I just want to give you a reward, and announce it to the world, so that the world will know it.
In addition to the rewards for Wudang and Shaolin, the Yuan court's suppression of Mingjiao has never stopped, and now it has directly sent a large army to exterminate Mingjiao in one fell swoop!
After all, among the anti-Yuan forces in the world today, the most powerful and powerful is the rebel army of the Ming Sect, and the Yuan court is naturally always thinking about exterminating them.
