Chapter 1155: Instigating War

How to incite the low-level civilians, of course, the church has a way, but before Ye Zan and them came, this Dawn Church was not a "pure" religion. And Bartley and the others, when they were originally in the small world, even if they had overthrown the rule of the orcs, they were still not good at understanding the thoughts of the people at the bottom.

However, Ye Zan has a lot of information for reference, and there have been many so-called "peasant uprisings" in the history of the ancient Chinese kingdom in the world of science and technology. Regardless of whether the "peasant uprisings" were real peasant uprisings or not, they had many loud slogans on how to incite the common people at the bottom.

"Fight local tyrants and divide the land" -- the incitement of these six words to the common people has been completely proven by history.

Although the level of productivity in this Dawn World is similar to that of the monastic world, the political system is still more backward and sub-feudal system, or it should be said that it is "semi-feudal and semi-slavery".

The main reason for this is that the nobles, especially the descendants of the wizards who came to enjoy the blessings. Since he is here to enjoy happiness, then no one wants to accept all kinds of rules and regulations. Even if they only control a small piece of territory, they prefer to be able to maintain relative independence, rather than being dictated by others.

Therefore, the territories held by these nobles were more like small independent kingdoms, and the king was just a big lord they "chosen". And the people in their territory are actually like their slaves, and their lives and status may be better than those of typical slaves, but in the end they are only as good as they are.

In fact, if the normal law of social development is followed, the "semi-feudal and semi-slavery" system like Dawn World may have been eliminated long ago.

But who calls the top-level building in the hands of powerful wizards? Wizards don't care about what's good for the common people, what's good for the world. They only care about what is good for them, and this is just a small colony anyway.

And what Ye Zan wants to do now is actually no different from those wizards, no matter what this world and the people in this world are, as long as you get the origin of the world.

If you want to incite war, you will definitely die, and countless innocent people will definitely die in war.

But so what!

You must know that the people of the Dawn World are still separated from Ye Zan by a cultivation world.

What's more, even in the world of technology, are there fewer people who start wars for their own interests?

Ye Zan does not have a noble heart of the Virgin, but he is not a demon as the "dualists" think, and the absence of the heart of the Virgin does not mean how cold-blooded and ruthless he must be. Like most people, he only cares about what he sees, only about the people he approves, and other than that, he puts his interests first.

This is also why, Ye Zan did not kill people and kill the whole family at every turn like some people, the reason is, to put it bluntly, "not in the interest".

With Ye Zan's current power, it is not a big deal to provoke him before, such as Taiyi Sect and Xingchen Sect, if he really wants to destroy it. However, what practical benefits can the consequences of doing so be other than for him to relieve his previous grievances? There is also the dragon clan, who had really let him slaughter at the beginning, and in the end, didn't they still "value peace".

Therefore, on the issue of the Dawn World, Ye Zan will not have any regrets about these things he has planned. In the final analysis, the first thing he has to consider is the interests of his own side, and he must be worthy of his own people first.

"Ye, we have already read the information you gave, and we have made some plans based on that information, you can see if there is anything that needs to be improved. After getting the information given by Ye Zan, Bartley and the others spent two days studying, and quickly came up with the results of their study.

"Well, it's not bad, there's nothing to change, just do it. Ye Zan briefly looked at the plan and made a decision with great satisfaction.

Bartley et al.'s plan is actually quite simple, that is, it is to "fight local tyrants and divide the land" as the core. Of course, in the world of Dawn, it should be said that "fighting the nobles and dividing the land", after all, most of the peasants here are like slaves.

Moreover, there is another convenience on the side of the church, which is "religion".

You must know that in the ancient Chinese country of the world of science and technology, many peasant uprisings have more or less used "religion". Like "the stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel in the world", and "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious", in the final analysis, they all use religious belief to incite people.

Now, the Church of Dawn is in the hands of Yezan. With the influence of the church on the people at the bottom, coupled with the slogans of "beating the aristocracy, dividing the land, the peasants turned over and sang". It is basically difficult for those civilians whose lives are very difficult to resist such temptations.

Of course, in terms of specific implementation, it is certainly not a direct slogan.

Bartley and the others' plan is still very detailed, at the beginning, it is not possible to directly let the people rebel, but to ignite the fire of hatred of the people against the nobles first. For example, to spread some specific examples of aristocratic oppression of the commoners in the territory, and even to make up some intolerable "facts". Another example is the arrangement of "underground workers" to guide the people on how to resist "correctly". Then there is how to recruit the backbone, how to organize the insurrectionary movement, how to get more people's support, and so on.

However, all of this requires a premise, that is, waiting for the rulers to hand over the handle.

After all, in front of the people, the Dawn Church has to play an absolutely positive image, so the war must not be provoked by the church. Only when the rulers have taken the first action against the church can the church justifiably "break with the rulers".

And the rulers, the nobles, didn't keep the church waiting. After the return of those emissaries, the response of the pope was brought to the rulers of the countries. Those nobles who knew the truth almost didn't have to guess and immediately knew that something was wrong with the church.

As a result, the countries of the Dawn World soon issued almost unanimous decrees, one is to restrict people's research on "prehistoric civilization", and the other is to suppress the church in all aspects. After all, from the Pope's response, they were already very sure that the Church was no longer on their side, so it was natural to treat it as an enemy.

"The churches of the church were demolished, countless poor people receiving relief were driven into the streets, and more than a dozen people froze to death in just one day!"

"The bishop of the church was arrested, tortured, and died in prison!"

"The army stormed the church and clashed with the faithful, resulting in the death of dozens of believers!"

Although, Dawn World has no internet, not even a newspaper industry. However, under the control of "people with hearts", all kinds of news quickly spread widely. These messages are both true and false, and in many ways, portray the church as a bullied character. At the same time, in order to make the civilians more inclined to the church, the news of the killing of civilians was emphatically described.

"A certain aristocratic lady, in order to maintain her youth, bathed in the blood of young girls, and hundreds of young girls were killed in just a few years!"

"A certain aristocratic lord, after hitting and killing a civilian in a carriage, blamed the blood of the deceased for staining the carriage and robbed the deceased's daughter as compensation!"

"The right of the first night! the most shameless aristocratic right in the world!"

Under the covert propaganda of the church, all kinds of negative news about the nobles swept the whole world in a very short time. All the nobles are described as demonic beings, bathing in the blood of young girls, refining medicine with the heart of babies, and so on.

Although, some news, in the eyes of "people of insight", may seem too false and exaggerated. But the vast majority of civilians don't even care where the news comes from. Those commoners themselves have a grudge against the nobles in their hearts, so how can they think of arguing for those nobles.

Finally, after the mood of the people reached a certain level, some people who dared to express the spirit of resistance began to become active among the common people. Some of these people are indeed autonomous, but many of them are supported by the church, and they continue to guide the common people to awaken their hearts of resistance.

Of course, such a situation will definitely be noticed by those nobles, and naturally it will be followed by another wave of brutal suppression.

To be honest, although the propaganda on the side of the church is indeed a great exaggeration. But in this world, it is also a real phenomenon that nobles do not treat commoners as human beings. Therefore, one can imagine how cruel this "cruel" repression really is: who will waste energy to understand the good and bad of a pariah and kill him if he is suspected.

So, under the "unbearable", with a "benevolent heart" for the world, the Dawn Church finally "had to" stand up and declare war on those rotten nobles.

On the side of the Dawn Church, there is a religious knight order itself, plus it has incorporated a lot of "children of destiny" and "reincarnation", so it is not difficult to single out any kingdom. However, what Ye Zan wants to do here is not to target a certain kingdom, but to almost all the rulers related to wizards, that is, almost against the whole world.

If, simply the army fights to decide the winner, even if the Dawn Church makes those preparations, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve any good results in the end. After all, no matter how good these kingdoms are, there is still no problem in gathering a million troops. What's more, this is a world that emphasizes individual force, and even the lowest level of knights can be a hundred against ordinary people.

However, soldiers are also human beings, they are also thoughtful, they also have relatives and friends, and they can also be instigated. If the uprising of the civilians is only for "survival", then the coup d'état of the military is closer to the "ideal", but it is more suitable for today's dawn world.

You must know that no matter how backward the Dawn World is, civilians have not yet reached the point where they really can't survive. Over the years, the whole world has been relatively smooth, and those low-level civilians can dig out of the ground to eat. As long as they can survive, in the face of some social injustices, the vast majority of civilians will still choose to swallow their anger.

And the soldiers, basically have no worries about food and clothing, no matter how much better than the civilian life at the bottom. However, it is precisely because they can eat and drink enough that they have more thoughts to yearn for a better life than they have now. In particular, the soldiers are basically young people, who have their own blood in their chests and fantasies about pursuing their ideals.

Soon, thanks to the efforts of the rulers and the Church, the world of Dawn, which had been calm for thousands of years, finally fell into the torrent of war. Revolts everywhere, mutinies in armies, and careerists taking advantage of the opportunity, war almost suddenly became the theme of the whole world.

Of course, for this kind of thing, except for providing some information to Bartley and others at the beginning, Ye Zan basically didn't participate much later. After all, out of fear of the will of the world, even if Ye Zan had countless weapons of war in his hands, he didn't dare to use them at will.

Therefore, when the Dawn World was full of war, Ye Zan suddenly became relaxed. It can be said that by now all the plans he had made for his "preaching" had been carried out. Next, he just waited for these plans to work, set up a pot like boiling water, and waited for the water in the pot to boil slowly.

However, Ye Zan, who is idle, is not idle, but he doesn't have to worry about "preaching".

You must know that Ye Zan is a person with apprentices, a stone forest, a witch fire, and he can't just receive his subordinates. Moreover, his two apprentices, one has the blood of the Western Dragon, and the other is from the Wu clan, and the cultivation method will definitely not be learned. Therefore, unlike other masters and apprentices who teach the Dao, he has to find another way to teach them according to the characteristics of these two disciples.

Coming to the Dawn World, for Ye Zan, in addition to "preaching" to earn merits, it was actually a good opportunity to teach two disciples. Although, the ultimate goal of his "preaching" here was to assimilate this world with the monastic world. However, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is still a big difference between the Dawn World and the Cultivation World.

And the difference between the Dawn World and the Cultivation World fell on the bodies of Shi Lin and Wu Liao, and the effect reflected was that there was no suppression of the Great Dao.

When they were in the cultivation world, although Shi Lin and Wu Liao were both born in the cultivation world, the path they followed was not the mainstream of the cultivation world. Why did the Wu Clan decline? Isn't it because the set of things cultivated by the Wu Clan has now become a non-mainstream existence, and is no longer favored by heaven and earth? Not to mention the stone forest, the bloodline on his body can be said to come from the outer world, how can he achieve something in the cultivation world.

Therefore, when Shi Lin and Wu Liao were in the cultivation world, they were actually suppressed by the Great Dao all the time. Although, the strength they embody is already quite good in the eyes of others. However, if they remained in the cultivation world and continued to be suppressed by the Great Dao, perhaps their achievements would only go so far.
