Chapter 7: Heaven is Dead
Leng Gao's words were sincere and came from his heart. Below the high platform, there were three thousand people gathered. Whether they were members of the Taiping Dao or people from Sun Family Village, they were all silent at this moment. Many people even cried softly out of empathy.
As lower-class farmers, they have suffered too much. In the past, they had to swallow their suffering even if they had to grit their teeth. But now, with the Taiping Dao coming, peace has come, and they have the opportunity to vent their emotions.
Even Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, who were standing beside Su Che, had red eyes after hearing these words, and then they glared at the tied-up master of the Sun family.
On the high platform, three people were tied up and kneeling. Their faces were pale and their eyes were full of fear.
Su Che looked at the people in Sunjiazhuang and asked, "Have you ever suffered any grievances or been oppressed? If so, come up to the stage and speak!"
After hearing this, the people in Sunjiazhuang looked at each other in surprise. They were essentially captives, and yet they were allowed to go on stage and speak?
"Apart from Leng Gao, is there no other injustice in Sunjiazhuang?" Su Che smiled.
"have!"
At this time, someone from Sunjiazhuang finally stood up. She was a middle-aged woman.
"Master, I am a woman, how can I go on the stage and speak?" The woman looked at Su Che.
"Of course." Su Che nodded: "What's your name?"
"My name is Sun Qinhu!" the woman said loudly.
"Haha, that's a good name." Su Che nodded and said gently, "Don't be nervous, go up on stage and tell us about your grievances."
Then the woman named Sun Qinhu came to the stage and began to talk about the exploitation and oppression she had suffered at the hands of Sunjiazhuang.
In fact, there is no essential difference between the tenants and slaves of Sunjiazhuang and Su Che's Taiping Dao followers.
Of course, the most important thing is to instill ideas in them, let them understand the doctrines and concepts of Taiping Dao, let them understand how to achieve peace in this world and what to do to eliminate suffering.
The last step is to guide them to find a common enemy.
At present, the common enemy of the entire Taiping Dao is the landlords and evil gentry in the villages!
After all the landlords and evil gentry were eliminated, a bigger enemy, the corrupt imperial court, suddenly appeared before their eyes.
At that time, all members of the Taiping Dao will fight for their own ideals and completely overthrow the corrupt court.
Although Su Che knew that the final outcome of Taiping Dao was not good, no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to change the world in the end!
But if you don’t try, who knows who will win in the end?
…
Next.
The Taiping Dao's mission spread like wildfire, burning across the entire Chinese land.
But in just two years.
The number of Taiping Dao followers grew to millions, occupying the entire Youzhou, and influencing Jizhou, Bingzhou and other places, and had considerable influence across the country.
More and more people joined the Taiping Dao.
Even many people from powerful families joined the Taiping Dao.
Thanks to the rapid development of Taiping Dao, Su Che, as the leader, also made great progress in strength and became a true great leader.
Unfortunately, however, he eventually attracted the attention of the court.
Su Che also understood one thing, that he was developing too fast, and no matter how corrupt or stupid the Han court was, it would eventually have to take some action.
You must know that in the original history, it took Zhang Jue more than ten years to gather more than 300,000 followers. It was not until the eve of preparing for a big event that the court learned about it due to the leak of the secret by a traitorous disciple, which led to the failure of the uprising.
However.
In this simulated world, under his reforms, the development of the Yellow Turban Army is simply too crazy.
It spread across the country within two years and had as many as one million followers.
If he had been given another two years...
What a pity! After all, there is less time for development.
So on this day.
Su Che officially started the uprising and announced to the world:
"The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky shall be established! In the year of Jiazi, the world will be blessed!"
As soon as these words came out.
Believers from all over the country will then rise up in rebellion, and wherever the rebel army goes, they will be unstoppable.
Everything in the world seems to be in my hands.
Unfortunately, things quickly got out of his control.
His younger brother Zhang Liang rushed into the city and, under the instigation of his men, killed all the officials and looted all the property of the wealthy families.
The rebel forces in other places were even more unscrupulous in their actions .
When the victim becomes the perpetrator, what they do is not much better.
The human heart is unpredictable and far from simple.
When there were only about 10,000 members of the Taiping Dao sect, Su Che could command them as easily as with his own arm, and they would do whatever he wanted them to do.
But when the number of Taiping Dao followers reached more than one million, it was no longer a matter of Su Che asking others to do whatever he wanted.
The pace of development was too fast, and too many people with ulterior motives joined the Taiping Dao.
Even if Su Che can still command these people, he cannot stop the dirty things they do in secret.
In addition, after the uprising, many things from all over the country gathered together like snowflakes. Su Che had to deal with nearly a thousand things every day, big and small. He needed to constantly give various suggestions and orders, and had almost no time to rest.
Su Che also wanted to delegate power, but he had no one under his control. If he forcibly delegated power and allowed his subordinates to act arbitrarily, things would probably become even worse.
To make the world a harmonious place and realize the unattainable utopia of Taiping Dao is definitely not an easy task.
At the same time, the imperial court finally took action. The imperial army, aristocratic families, and local county magistrates combined to launch a siege on the Yellow Turban Army.
Many heroes also began to emerge.
Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others appeared on the stage one after another. These people all had great powers and were definitely not ordinary people.
Su Che tried several times to save the situation. However, although he was quite skilled in Taoism, it was obviously a fantasy for him to overthrow the entire Han Dynasty by himself.
After several months, the Yellow Turban Army suffered defeat after defeat, and other generals and leaders were easily defeated under the joint attack of the regular army.
Only Su Che's group could still resist stubbornly.
Seeing the raging war, Su Che knew that the situation was hopeless. He sighed silently and quietly withdrew from interfering.
…
Su Che spent several years in the simulated world, but in the real world, it was just a moment.
The words in the Book of Spiritual Contract before me are still evolving.
[You tried to struggle, tried to save the situation, but faced with the encirclement and suppression from the imperial court, the local government, and the aristocratic families, you were ultimately powerless.]
[You look at the corpses scattered all over the battlefield. They were the believers who had imagined the future with you. The world of great harmony in their dreams will never come true.]
[Blood rained down from the sky, and you raised your head. It was the red dragon that you had subdued in the Taihang Mountains of Youzhou, and now it was being strangled by the imperial court's divine beast, the Phoenix.]
[You started this chaotic world, but you are not destined to be the one! ]
[Standing beside you at this moment are only a group of farmers who once had not enough food to eat. They swung their weapons vigorously, but were easily killed by the imperial court and local troops.]
[A bunch of rebels! A bunch of rioters! A bunch of lunatics! This is how the imperial court, the aristocratic families, and the local army evaluate them.]
[Swear to fight to the death? Then kill them all! No one will be spared! The imperial army will show no mercy to you. 】
[At the moment when you were in a trance, a general bent his bow and shot an arrow, the arrow was like a meteor, and was about to kill you. At the critical moment, the guard beside you stepped forward and blocked the arrow for you.]
[This arrow went straight through his heart, the guard is doomed to die. He vomited blood and begged you to leave quickly. The leader of the Taiping Dao must not die here! ]
[You quickly cast a spell to rescue him, but the guard uses up his last bit of strength to push you away.]
[Only then did you see the guard's bloody face. It was Leng Gao who appealed .]
[Leng Gao has no wife, no children, and only pursues the world of great harmony in Taiping Dao. He will protect you and be loyal to you. ]
[He hopes that you can realize a harmonious world and bring peace to the world, so you must not die.]
[You recall what he once said...]
[The leader said that he wanted to bring peace to the world, to bring harmony to the world, to eliminate injustice in the world, and to stop us from suffering. I didn’t believe it at first, even if he said it many times.]
[But now, I believe it! ]
