"The mission scene "The Tear-Eyed Evil Star" is entering..." It was like being turned around in a roller, and after bursts of top-heavyness; Jiang Tian once again saw the familiar interface prompt in his field of vision: "The random mission generation failed... , the scene space-time synchronization failed, the deviation rate was 37.6%... Because it is beyond the effective range of the space-time anchor point, the body energy consumption is maintained: -0.003, -0.003..."
At the same time, deep in the newly built palace of a large city, the intoxicating incense curls around the beams. Under the exquisite and luxurious curtains; under the brocade quilt woven with gold flowers and birds, there is something. It is undulating slightly and squirming gently. Suddenly, a petite and white figure sat up and shouted in surprise: "Ancestor?".
"Your Majesty, don't stop, let me, my sisters, serve you better..." Immediately, she was embraced by another pair of pink and white lotus arms, gently murmuring and slowly fell down. In an instant, like a snare that was stirred up, more arms and legs were poked out from the surrounding quilts, and they were completely submerged in it in an instant.
At the same time, Jiang Tian, who had already jumped to the top of a tree, saw billowing dust and smoke in the distance, flags rolling like a forest, and an army that was advancing with all its strength. It’s just that the colors of the flags and uniforms look a bit mixed. There are soaked nail armor, leather-inlaid armor, and round wooden spears that are most common in Haidong, as well as Fuso Clan's characteristic lacquered armor, bamboo spears, and Japanese swords; and even commoner soldiers.
I saw them each holding high flags of different shapes and colors, trotting or walking quickly with loud noises. There are also a few knights wearing flame robes and golden flower hats, and horses wearing brocade. Mixed together with these people in different colors, Ling Ran looked a little distinct and alienated, and also a little unharmonious and weird.
However, after watching for a moment, Jiang Tian suddenly saw a figure with whom he had met before; he immediately jumped up and followed him without hesitation. Soon after, this motley group of people arrived at an unknown small town. Then, those well-dressed Jinqi led some of the best-equipped men and horses to stay inside.
Most of the remaining troops, with their backs against the ten-foot-high earthen wall, began to set up camp and gather firewood, water, and food. Therefore, in addition to the resounding sounds of pots and pans and the commotion of people shouting and shouting, various campsites were also enveloped in various cooking aromas and fireworks that quickly spread.
And ducking through the smoke curling between the camps, Jiang Tian also arrived in front of one of the largest camps. Then he passed through the tent with ease, and several sergeants on duty in lacquered armor outside the tent floated silently into the tent along with a gust of breeze. However, this seemingly gentle disturbance still caused a wave of unceremonious complaints from inside:
"I've told you a thousand times, if it's not for the elders of the Dragon Guards looking for trouble, don't bother me. If there are any disputes in private, just bear with me, and wait until you come back to make plans with Chen Affection."
But it came from a figure who was lying on the makeshift couch with his arms and legs spread out. "Long time no see, Little Taiping by the river." However, a sudden voice made him fall to the ground in shock at the next moment. However, he got up in disgrace and hurriedly, knelt down vigorously, bowed his head and said loudly: "He Taiping, please pay homage to the Eternal True Ancestor, the Universal Transformation Shengxiao Master is here."
That's right, the opponent is actually the Fuso leader who changed his tune and surrendered to Supervisor Guo Xingtai after the right-wing General Yamauchi Yoshibu, one of the main forces of the Fuso Allied Forces, was destroyed in the battle of Langling Mountain. He was from the Hayato team. Xiao Taiping by the river/Tsuna's house on Sister Xiaolu. Because of the subsequent raid on the Fusang Army soldiers and grain and grass gathering place in Shahuo Town, he was responsible for infiltrating inside and outside and working together to give his name as a surrender, so he was given a Chinese surname - He Taiping.
"Eternal True Ancestor? What is this? Did something happen to me after I left these days?" Jiang Tian frowned slightly: It sounds so like a product of the Xingyue World. At the same time, he also noticed that the invisible entry above the opponent's head had changed from "Walker in Troubled Times" to "Exterior and Internal Bixing". This makes people wonder, does he have any different experiences these days?
"Reporting to Zhenzu now, after you showed your prowess in the battle of Shahuo Town, His Royal Highnesses Xingtai and Jianguo issued an edict to specifically build Zhenzu temples in Zhongyuan Jing, Beiyuan Jing and Xiyuan Jing. , Recruiting the noble girl Liang Yuan as a witch to offer incense for the four seasons." The next moment, He Taiping was seen lying on the ground and said quickly: "As for the many titles of the real person, they were awarded posthumously by the official several times. "
"Wait, the official office is posthumous? Has the official office returned? When did it happen? What about the Taixing Rebellion Station and the Supervisor Guo Dixia?" Hearing this, Jiang Tian couldn't help but said seriously: "These days I left , how many things happened? Tell me quickly what you know in detail, without leaving anything out?"
"I sincerely obey the decree of the True Ancestor," Xiao Taiping said without hesitation by the river: Although he was a little confused, why did this True Ancestor with great supernatural powers not show up at his palace in Zhongyuan Jing, but suddenly came to the summoned one? Although he is surrounded by evil people, it does not prevent him from trying his best to please and cater to the other party; he even seeks some potential conveniences and benefits for himself.
After all, he who acted as an internal agent at the time saw with his own eyes that hundreds of Fusang masters, big and small, and their retainers and bodyguards gathered in Shahuo Town to discuss follow-up countermeasures when the true ancestor descended from the sky raised his hand. The scene where he was strangled by the flaming sword left almost nothing missing. From that moment on, he became a die-hard loyalist to His Highness the Supervisor and one of the most devout worshipers in the True Ancestor Shrine.
Next, according to He Taiping, in the more than half a year since Jiang Tian left, many things have happened in Haidong. For example, in the name of Xingtai, His Royal Highness the State Supervisor increased the intensity of granting land and cultivating farmland; while ruthlessly inspecting and confiscating the property of those who collaborated with the enemy and powerful surnames in those places, he also conferred military merit on those who had the land. The scope expanded the scope of slaves, refugees, and merchants.
Immediately afterwards, Xingtai publicly announced that even those who have been in low status for generations can be promoted and exempted from low status and hard service as long as they join and raise volunteers and perform meritorious service against foreign enemies. And these two decrees, which were obviously too forward and impatient, seemed to be earth-shattering, causing an uproar among the three capitals of Xingtai and Sanjing, which had been stable.
Almost half of the princes, vassal families, subordinates and county officials in the North have therefore requested to meet and make remonstrances, hoping that the Supervisory Office can withdraw its order, or postpone this obviously shaking the foundation of the country, which is a matter of great concern. The edict of honoring and humbleness. Therefore, after a court game that was not known to outsiders and the weighing and compromise of various forces, things still changed.
The original decrees that have been issued will not be withdrawn, but their execution will be suspended in the northern regions that have not yet fallen; in the new areas that have been regained by Taiwan, they will be partially implemented as appropriate; and in the southern areas that have still fallen or are in turmoil, It is required to implement it resolutely and to the letter. For this reason, Xingtai even suspended several troops heading south to regain Sangju, and turned to internal stability maintenance and response.
However, compared to the chaos caused in Xingtai, these two decrees were transmitted to the southern roads occupied by the Fuso Army; they also set off a more powerful upsurge and turmoil than the disputes and chaos in the north. Because those foreign Fuso coalition forces were accustomed to relying on violent and high-pressure methods to maintain the situation under occupation. Random burning, killing and looting by soldiers can be seen everywhere.
Even though some local forces were recruited and rebelled before, he even supported a puppet from among the captured members of the royal family and maintained a decent small court in Wangjing (Jincheng City). But after all, it cannot change the true nature of foreign invaders. In order to supply the needs of the tens to hundreds of thousands of Fuso coalition troops, they will eventually have to land on these surrendered or occupied rural areas.
Therefore, these two decrees were like a fuse, which suddenly detonated the resentment and anger that had been accumulated in the countryside since the Fuso Army landed. In an instant, the massive Red Pants Party uprising broke out again in the south. Although these lowly citizens, refugees, and countrymen who rose up in rebellion did not dare to confront the Fuso Army head-on, they looted and looted in groups the village owners, village heads, feudal lords, and ministers who were "thieves."
Based on this, various small and large rebel armies and rural soldiers scattered in the south, which had gone their own way and were almost suppressed, resurrected and became victorious. The various Fuso coalition forces that had occupied most of the southern territory finally paid attention to it and temporarily suppressed their internal conflicts and differences; they decided to give priority to annihilating and defeating this emerging threat that was becoming more and more powerful.
Among them, the most famous one is undoubtedly a rebel leader named Zhen Xuan. This man gathered a crowd of tens of thousands on land and water at Palgong Mountain between Sangju and Yangju. He named himself the Grand Governor of the South China Sea, and sent people to Xingtai to request for posthumous recognition of his official position and the title of feudal lord. ; This matter once again caused some controversy and debate within the industry.
However, just as the internal disputes in Xingtai continued, after hearing the news, more and more rebels and rural soldiers gathered under Zhen Xuan's command. In the end, the Fuso Army who was encircling and suppressing various forces in Bagong Mountain, A fierce battle broke out. Tens of thousands of southern rebels and rural soldiers, as well as their accompanying family members, old and young, were killed in rivers of blood, and all resistance forces in the south were almost wiped out.
And the big leader Zhen Xuan disappeared; some rumors said that he had died in the chaos, some said that he was captured by the Fuso army while fleeing, and his head was displayed to the public; some simply said that he accepted the conditions of the Fuso people and In exchange for betrayal and betrayal of the gathered rebels, he changed his name and became the royal general of the small puppet court entrenched in Jincheng-eup/Wangjing.
Therefore, He Taiping, who was previously responsible for receiving the fleeing poor, middle-class people, good people, scholars, monks, and officials in the occupied areas, was ordered to lead a team of people in the face of danger a few months ago; he went south to contact and assist these people. The remnants of the disintegrated rebel army. At the same time, during this period, they had fought several battles with various Fusang princes and vassal families who were suppressing them, and in the end, only less than 10,000 survivors were collected.
But at this time, a piece of "good news" came from the north. In the past, during the cross-sea raid of the Fuso Allied Forces, Haidong Gong, who had fled the country since Wang Ji, claimed to be looking for the mediation and intervention of the Celestial Kingdom, and even sent troops to foreign aid, actually turned out to be true. With an army of tens of thousands of people, he suddenly returned from the north.
