After half a year of fighting local tyrants and dividing their fields, the reform of Yunzhou City was basically completed.
This reform is not just superficial, but a real revolution, which can also be said to be a reform.
Xu Xian benefited the poor people who had no land. Instead of benefiting, the wealthy families were affected and their land was confiscated.
Xu Xian's reforms were relatively mild and only punished those rich who were unkind and committed many evil acts for the sake of wealth.
Some rich people did not do evil, but had a good reputation, and often helped poor people. Xu Xian only took over their fields and did not touch their property.
Every time the Huaxia Army completes reforms in a place, it opens study classes there to allow people to read and write for free.
Knowledge can change destiny, make people understand, and let people know why Xu Xian wants to reform.
Xu Xian can change for a while, but he cannot stay in the misty world forever. When he attains enlightenment and ascends, everything he implements needs someone to inherit his will.
Only by taking modern ideas into people's hearts can the Piaomiao World quickly transition from a feudal society to an ideal era.
When people understand the shortcomings of feudal society and know what an ideal era is, someone will naturally inherit his will.
With united efforts, when the fire of the ideal era is ignited, even if someone wants to go against the times and return to feudal society, they will be crushed to pieces by the giant wheel of the times.
To make everyone understand, we must start with reading and literacy.
In addition to changing the minds of the people, the Chinese army also needs to expand its military.
Xu Xianyao's Chinese army is a group of good young people in the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, are willing to struggle, and are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for the revitalization of China.
Therefore, the expansion of the Huaxia Army is very cautious. First, a period of study is required, and then there is an interview. Only after passing the test can you join the Huaxia Army.
The requirements of the Huaxia Army are extremely strict. After entering the Huaxia Army, not only do you have to undergo strict physical training, but there are no special benefits other than three meals a day.
In an era when heroes are competing for hegemony, joining the Chinese Army may sacrifice one's life at any time.
However, the Chinese Army is an army with ideals and ambitions, and its mission is to protect the Chinese people.
The people are very practical. Xu Xian allows them to have fields and food to eat. In order to protect their hard-won happiness, they are willing to join the Chinese army.
When the reform of Yunzhou was completed, the Huaxia army expanded to 3,000 men.
After many rounds of screening, Xu Xian selected ninety-nine Chinese soldiers with relatively good qualifications, and asked each of them to eat a fruit from the Tao tree and become awakened ones.
Xu Xian also wanted to have more awakened people in the Chinese army, and even wanted all three thousand Chinese troops to become awakened.
However, the nine Tao trees were given to Xu Xian by the system, and there was no limit to picking the fruits.
Xu Xian asked the system, and the system only allowed Xu Xian to pick ninety-nine fruits, which was the limit of the Tao tree.
In the future, if any Chinese army performs particularly well or makes meritorious deeds, they can also obtain the fruits of the Tao tree and become awakened ones.
When the ninety-nine Chinese soldiers ate the fruit and awakened, the system's cold mechanical voice sounded:
"The host completed the reform of Yunzhou, established the Chinese Army, and took firm steps to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun..."
The reward given by the system to Xu Xian was to help Xu Xian deal with the 30,000 garrison in Yunzhou and the 100,000 Liao army outside Yunzhou City.
Everything that followed was rather magical. First, there were strange phenomena in the sky, and the strange Taoist rhyme affected the minds of the Khitans and Han people in the Liao army.
The strange Taoist rhyme is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, beating in the hearts of the Chinese people, awakening the national memory of the Chinese people, and making everyone willing to shed their lives and blood in order to revitalize China.
The Khitan people in the Liao army felt confused, and before they could react, they were eliminated by the Chinese people.
This battle not only made the Huaxia Army feel like they had divine help, but even Xu Xian felt very magical, almost like a dream.
After thinking about it, all of this is the arrangement of the system, which is the way of heaven, so it shouldn't be surprising.
God's arrangement was the greatest. God wanted the Liao army to lose, so the Liao army had no choice but to lead the way and kill them.
Xiao Tianhuan was executed, and all the Khitans among his 100,000 Liao troops were killed. The Han people were influenced by the Apocalypse and became nationalistic.
When the war ended and Tianqi disappeared, the Han people in the Liao army finally faced real problems.
Their families are scattered in various major states. Because of their betrayal, if the news spreads, the Liao people will definitely retaliate against their families.
Xu Xian gave everyone a chance to surrender sincerely and be willing to fight for the Chinese nation. Xu Xian promised to let their families go to Yunzhou together.
Everyone was hesitant, and some people were more determined and expressed their stance earlier. Xu Xian opened the time and space door and took their family members over.
The emergence of the Space-Time Gate gave everyone confidence. Everyone no longer had any worries and expressed their willingness to submit to the Chinese Army.
In the end, except for some people who chose to leave, there were about 60,000 troops who actually submitted to the Chinese army.
Although there were only 60,000 troops who submitted, when the 60,000 people brought their families over, there would be more than 300,000 people.
Yunzhou City originally only had more than 100,000 people, but the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands really made everyone a little worried. Can the small Yunzhou City support so many people?
With the help of the system, Xu Xian promoted high-yield crops such as improved rice, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. in Yunzhou, which finally gave everyone reassurance.
Xu Xian wanted elite soldiers with ideals and ambitions. The 60,000 Liao troops who surrendered were carefully screened, and only 6,000 were left.
Those Liao troops who did not meet the requirements of the Huaxia Army could not be incorporated into the Huaxia Army, so Xu Xian asked them to temporarily disarm and return to their fields.
After this battle, the Chinese army grew to more than 9,000 men. Xu Xian led nine generals, including Qisha, Pojun, Tanlang, Zhang Lingfeng, Tiancan, Dique, Chen Ergou, Weiyuan, and Sanmao.
The eight formations are named after heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake. Together with the Chinese army, there are nine formations in total.
The central army is composed of sixteen small formations, and the eight surrounding formations are each composed of six small formations, for a total of sixty-four small formations.
Among the eight formations, the sky, earth, wind, and clouds are the "four righteousnesses", and the dragon (blue dragon), tiger (white tiger), bird (suzaku), and snake (tan snake) are the "four wonders."
In addition, there are still twenty-four formations deployed at the rear for maneuverability.
Each of China's nine generals commanded a thousand men. Xu Xian taught eight formations and asked each of the nine generals to take charge of a large formation to prepare for the upcoming battle against Liao.
One hundred thousand troops outside Yunzhou City disappeared inexplicably. Xu Xian burned all the traces left on the scene, turning everything into ashes.
When the spies from the Liao Kingdom learned about this, they immediately reported it.
Xiao Tianhuan disappeared together with 100,000 Liao troops, and even hundreds of thousands of Liao army's family members disappeared inexplicably, which horrified the Liao monarchs and ministers.
They did not think that the small state could accommodate nearly half a million people, nor did they believe that Xu Xian would be kind enough to take in prisoners of war.
Someone mentioned that 30,000 Wuwei troops in Hangzhou disappeared in the Xu Mansion, and Xu Xian became known as the Blood Demon.
Emperor Tianzuo and the Liao officials felt that those Liao soldiers and their families must have been killed by Xu Xian.
In order to prevent anyone from surrendering to the Chinese army again, Emperor Tian Zuo issued an order to publicize the atrocities of the Blood Demon Xu Xian throughout the Liao Kingdom, and to condemn and protest against Xu Xian's actions.
From then on, Xu Xian's name as Blood Demon could stop babies from crying in the fifteen states of Yanyun outside Yunzhou!
