After receiving the late emperor's edict, Liu Jiangong first doubted his life.
After all, no one has ever told him that he is the prince's son in so many years. If his memory is correct, he is just an ordinary farmer's boy. When he grew up, he became a postmaster in a small county town in Luochuan through the promotion of his second uncle from the same clan. groom.
Later, he was cautious and worked hard for eight years before finally becoming the postmaster of Ma Yi.
For eight years, he worked hard every day and carefully served the officials who came from north to south, just to keep this bowl of public rice.
Unexpectedly, two years ago, the imperial court abolished the horse station where he worked on the grounds that "there are many horse stations in the world", and he suddenly lost his job when he was thirty.
His martial arts skills and literary talents are average. If he takes the imperial examination, he will be just a scholar at best.
I wanted to go home and farm peacefully, but unexpectedly, the disaster-ridden Luochuan encountered a severe drought that was rare in a century. Thousands of miles away, people died of hunger, and hungry people were everywhere.
At first, he still believed in the imperial court, but later when he finally crawled to Luochuan City, all he wanted was a bowl of millet porridge to satisfy his hunger.
But the nobles and officials of Luochuan actually closed the city gate and enjoyed themselves.
He ignored the life and death of the people in Luochuan. Later, he was kidnapped and became a "free sheep". He originally thought he would be slaughtered like a cow or a sheep!
Unexpectedly, by chance, he met an old man, the military advisor in front of him.
His surname is Yuan, and everyone calls him Yuan Tianshi.
It is said that he is the master missionary of the Liansheng sect, who followed the teachings of Mother Liansheng and came to the world to lead the people to have food and clothing.
Later, Liu Jiangong joined the Liansheng sect. Because he was literate and knew some martial arts, he gradually stood out from the parish and became the number two figure under the taboo.
Later, Laomu Liansheng issued a decree, saying that he was a born saint, the man of destiny who would lead the people of Jiangdu Luochuan to live a good life!
Surrounded by Yuan Tianshi and a group of believers, Liu Jiangong became the current King Jian.
And now, he actually became the heir of Prince Liang, the man destined by the late emperor's decree.
There is no need to verify whether all this is true or false. He only knows that he seems to be really going to be the emperor, with three wives, four concubines, and seventy-two concubines waving to him!
Liu Jiangong did not hesitate at all, he picked up the edict.
"I see, no wonder I often hear immortals telling me in my dreams that I am Ziwei who came to this world!"
"From now on, I will change my surname to Qin, and go and do meritorious deeds with a single name, Qin meritorious service!"
"Meet King Qin Gong!"
"Enter the Pass! Capture the false emperor alive and bring peace to the people of the world!"
"Yes, enter the prison!"
…
For a time, the crowd was furious.
Qin Gong was very satisfied with this, but at this moment, a short-eyed soldier wearing a turban rushed into the hall.
"Report! Oh no! The officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers are here to kill us!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd present was in an uproar. Some shouted to run away, and some shouted to surrender, completely ignoring the appearance of supporting Qin Gong just now.
Fortunately, Qin Gong has the destiny and his own majesty, so he comforts everyone.
"Don't be afraid! We are protected by Lao Mu's true law, and I have a destiny. All those who come are just chickens and dogs. Organize the followers and kill them!"
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly corrected him: "Your Majesty, you haven't come yet. News came from the front line. The imperial court sent nine princes with three thousand troops each. They want to capture your Majesty alive!"
"Other than that, the Poyang Pass defenders are still standing still!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone cursed the soldier angrily.
"Son of a bitch, what are you yelling about!"
"That's right, that's right, we are still discussing how to enter the capital!"
…
Qin Gong looked at this ragtag group of people. Many of these people were his old grooms, but now these grooms have become generals who command an army.
Can they really withstand well-trained officers and soldiers?
At this time, Yuan Tianshi said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the enemy must be tired when they come in such a hurry, and because they number three thousand, they must underestimate us."
"We should send mountain people who are familiar with the terrain to bypass Poyang Pass and ambush on the only way through. We will definitely catch the opponent by surprise!"
"Your Majesty, let me go. All the hunters in our village are good at bow and arrow. In addition, with the military equipment of Luochuan City, if you give me 10,000 people, I guarantee that those officials will not be able to come back!"
"Tieshuan, I feel at ease when you go. However, I can't give you ten thousand people, so how about one thousand?"
"one thousand?"
Tie Shuan frowned, and soon he relaxed again.
"Okay, a thousand is a thousand!"
"I'm leaving now, everyone, please wait for my good news!"
"Go!"
Iron Bolt bowed his hands and left.
Yuan Tianshi on the side frowned: "Your Majesty, they are all good blacksmiths. If they are let go like this, I'm afraid..."
Qin Gong smiled: "Within a thousand miles around, I am the only one in Luochuan City who has food. If they don't obey the command, their food will be cut off at worst. Why should the military advisor worry?"
"Besides, my goal is the world. To fight for the world, benevolence and righteousness should come first. What the diocese does is fine for ordinary people, but if you want to retain talents, you must treat people with sincerity."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right, I have failed to consider it!"
Yuan Tianshi looked at the king who he helped up with one hand. For some reason, after he changed his name to Qin Gong, he actually had a domineering aura about him.
It seems that I have to be careful!
Qin Gong glanced at Yuan Tianshi coldly. In fact, how could he not know that he was just a puppet introduced by the Liansheng Sect, and recruiting people with lofty ideals from the world was just a rhetoric.
He needs his cronies.
Therefore, Qin Gong pretended to be a benevolent and righteous teacher.
Not to mention, he did this in a crooked way. Under his orders, the rebels were not allowed to harass the people or rob food. Under his rule, the people did not pay any broken silver within three years, as long as they joined the army to take care of their food!
Under such a policy, the hungry people did not care whether they rebelled or not, and poured directly into the rebel army. In addition, the Liansheng sect infiltrated the grassroots people.
Such a rebel army actually showed the courage of an invincible army, attacking cities and fortresses wherever they went, and even some defenders took the initiative to open cities and surrender.
If Poyang Pass hadn't stopped him, he might have made it to the capital with this trick!
But Qin Gong knew very well that he could only win but not lose with this plan. He had to win all the way, otherwise a serious injury would scatter people's hearts.
But he didn't have no way out?
Qin Gong looked at the southwest corner of the map. It was the legendary land of Nanzhang. It had many mountains and could be attacked, retreated or defended. Of course, it was still early to say this.
…
Outside the palace, Tie Shuan muttered: "Tie Xiong, Tie Niu, you are going to kill us. We listened to your advice and went to the Ming Lord, but we met the bandits halfway there. We really don't want to rebel!"
"We are just blacksmiths!"
At this time, a group of strong-backed Iron clan members surrounded them.
"Tieshuan, does the king agree to our departure?"
Tie Shuan winked and said: "Your Majesty originally disagreed, but under my sharp tongue, Your Majesty decided to let us attack to ambush the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Folks, this is a great opportunity that Your Majesty has given us to make meritorious deeds!"
"Tieshuan, you traitor, I want to go home, I don't want to fight!"
However, some elderly people came forward to support Tieshuan.
"Tie Shuan is right, everyone should work hard to make contributions and come together to worship the king from afar!"
Tieshuan finally felt relieved when he saw that the elders in his clan supported him.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where is the uncanny king that Iron Bull and Iron Bear talked about?
In the capital, Qin Yun suddenly sneezed and touched his nose: "Who is thinking of me?"
