All said and done, Fang La wanted Xu Xian to join the rebel army, and all the polite and virtuous corporals wanted to conquer the world.
In Xu Xian's eyes, the rebels who were burning, killing and looting in Hangzhou City were just like a bunch of bandits. It was simply a fantasy to think of taking over the world with these rabble.
Of course, Fang La proposed that "all laws are equal, and there is no superiority or inferiority." Killing corrupt officials and local tyrants, and opening warehouses to distribute grain were originally a righteous act to uphold justice for heaven.
However, in order to develop rapidly, Fang La did not strictly enforce military discipline, and his men were inevitably mixed with good and bad. He killed not only corrupt officials and local tyrants, but also ordinary people.
A group of rabble-rousers who only have interests in their eyes. Driven by greed, they have completely lost themselves.
The rebels have lost the support of the people, but their strength is limited.
Fang La also knew that although his power was great, he could not stop the imperial army. In order to quickly expand his power, he could only recruit talents in various ways.
In the process of conquering the city and the territory, the desires of the men became more and more unreasonable, which led to the burning, killing and looting of the city of Hangzhou.
In order to stop the atrocities of the rebels and make the people of Hangzhou suffer as little as possible, Xu Xian had no choice but to resort to thunderous means.
Xu Xian said:
"Other matters will be discussed later. Hangzhou city should return to calm. I don't want to see burning, killing and looting. If you can't do that, I will have no choice but to take action."
As soon as Xu Xian said this, everyone in the court held their breath, as if they were about to fall out.
Facing Xu Xian's anger made Fang La feel a sense of fear in his heart. It was the shock caused by Xu Xian's past legends. Even Chu Huizong did not dare to face Xu Xian's anger, and Fang La certainly did not dare.
However, Fang La had no choice. The rebel army was originally in disarray and had no discipline at all.
If he wanted to establish rules at this time and block his men's financial path, I am afraid it would immediately fall apart and the Yongle Uprising would completely fail.
Fang La bowed and said:
"The rebels have crossed the border and become a disaster for the city of Hangzhou. It's time to establish rules. It's not convenient for me to take action, lest I chill the hearts of all the soldiers.
Please take action, Mr. Xu, to help me clean up those bad apples. "
In the time between life and death, Fang La was able not to offend Xu Xian, but also relied on Xu Xian's power to rectify military discipline. This kind of courage was indeed kingly, and even Xu Xian had to admire Fang La's wit.
Xu Xian cupped his hands and said:
"In that case, I'll take my leave first."
Fang La originally wanted to take this opportunity to conquer Xu Xian. If Xu Xian was unwilling to surrender, he would not let him go so easily.
Xu Xian is leaving now, but Fang La doesn't have the courage to stop him.
On the one hand, Fang La hopes to use Xu Xian's hand to establish rules for the rebels.
On the other hand, of course he was afraid of Xu Xian's strength.
If Xu Xian is offended, his life will be in danger.
Therefore, Fang La didn't stop Xu Xian from leaving, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and turned around to leave.
Fang La left without saying anything before leaving. It was up to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to decide whether Xu Xian should be allowed to leave.
The lame Taoist was the first to stand up and said:
"Medical Sage, the Yongle Dynasty was just established and there was a great need for talents like Medical Sage.
Now that the medical sage is here, he should stay and do his part to overthrow Da Chu's cruel rule. "
Xu Xian said:
"If a ragtag bunch like you is asked to govern the country, I feel that Da Chu is more suitable than you.
Although the officials of Dachu were greedy, they would not burn, kill, and loot in their own territory. "
The lame Taoist said:
"In order to boost the morale of the military and encourage everyone to join the army, allowing the common people to suffer a little bit can buy hundreds of years of peace.
They should be proud of their sacrifice, they sacrificed for the happiness of mankind.
All of this is for a great cause, and sacrifice is inevitable. "
Xu Xian really laughed at the crippled Taoist's reasoning and said:
"If you say so, why don't you sacrifice yourself first?"
The lame Taoist patted his neck and laughed:
“I am ready to sacrifice myself against the Medical Saint, my head is right here.
If the medical sage has the ability, feel free to come and get it. "
To kill the lame Taoist, Xu Xian's personal strength would definitely not be enough, and the power of Shushan would be needed.
The power of Shushan needs to be used at the right time. The Yongle Dynasty's palace had so many experts and was heavily guarded. Even if they summoned five thousand Red Shadow Army, it would be difficult to crush the rebels. As a result, both sides suffered casualties and exposed their own strength.
If the Emei faction is willing to help, there is a slight chance.
However, before the Emei faction takes action, they need to make sure that the other party is a heinous person.
There were some black sheep among Fang La's rebels, but most of the generals still had an innocent heart and made some compromises just for the victory of the uprising.
The Emei faction will not take action against the rebels who are caught between good and evil.
According to Xu Xian's own judgment, although some of the actions of the rebels were a bit extreme, they were still a kind of historical progress, and all were aimed at overthrowing the cruel rule of Da Chu.
Xu Xian would kill the evil rebels and force Fang La to rectify military discipline, but he would not destroy the rebels.
Xu Xian does not want to be someone who blocks the progress of history, but just wants to follow the trend.
Therefore, Xu Xian ignored the lame Taoist and turned around and walked outside.
The lame Taoist waved his hand, and dozens of women holding flowers poured in from outside, swaying the flowers in their hands and circling around Xu Xian at high speed.
The lame Taoist said with a smile:
"If you want to go out, break through the Hundred Flowers Formation first."
Is this the so-called Hundred Flowers Formation?
Xu Xian almost laughed out of anger.
The flowers are wild flowers on the roadside, dry and shriveled, with no sense of beauty at all.
The women were all skinny, but wore bloated and tattered clothes.
They are all children from poor families and have suffered a lot. Their palms have thick calluses. Although they are young, their faces have no vitality and only have traces of years of suffering.
There are no sins on them, only merits. This also shows that after joining the rebel army, they did not join in the troubles with others, but instead tried their best to help others.
As for their Hundred Flowers Formation, it really looks similar and has extraordinary power.
If Xu Xian wants to leave, he must first break the formation.
To break the formation, you must first deal with the people who set it up.
The easiest way is to fight your way out.
However, Xu Xian did not want to kill these women who had suffered so much and asked:
"Is Fang Baihua here?"
The lame Taoist said:
"She is just like you. She can't bear to see the people in the city suffering, but she doesn't want to take action against her own people. She is unable to change the reality. She has left to expand our territory and expand our territory."
Hearing this, Xu Xian said to the women setting up the formation:
"I am here to save the people in the city. People who are in the same suffering as you, you should not stop me, but help me."
The woman in the Hundred Flowers Array showed no reaction, but still shook the flowers in her hands and circled around Xu Xian.
The lame Taoist said:
"Don't waste your efforts. They have lost their sense of autonomy and have only one obsession. Try their best to keep you here, even if it costs their lives."
