Chapter 78 A new era

Chapter 78 A new era

He took the secret book, clues, and the Heshi Bi.

Xu Xuan walked out of the basement.

Outside, Li Changsheng was not there. Now that he had just conquered the capital, in order to prevent external forces from counterattacking, he combined the previous spies and the rebels to establish a temporary defense army.

It had only been a few years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and there were still many people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Stand up and cut off your braids for me. Those who report it can reduce their sins!"

As soon as he came out of the basement, he saw Li Jianxing talking to a group of "monks" in front of him.

These were not monks, but Taoist priests with braids, a specialty of the barbarians, who were now queuing up to cut off their braids.

If there was no blood debt on his hands, he would basically not be punished, but if there was a debt on his hands and he took the initiative to surrender to the barbarians, his end would not be too good.

"Master, I want to report! This person surrendered to the barbarians and killed many fellow Taoists who were unwilling to cut their braids!" At this time, someone jumped out to report, and everyone made room. A fat guy stood in the middle and trembled.

"It's him!"

"Beat him to death!"

Everyone said the sins of this person.

"It's not me, I was forced!" The fat man's voice trembled.

"Beat him to death with sticks!" Li Jianxing nodded.

Everyone rushed forward, and after a few rounds, the fat man was already dead.

"Heavenly Master is coming!!"

As soon as these words came out, whether they saw it or not, the crowd knelt down like fallen wheat.

This shows how high Xu Xuan's reputation is. In this capital city, he is a well-deserved god, just like the disciples of the Baidi Sect. No matter how many troops are ahead, they feel at ease when they hear the name of the Heavenly Master.

"Well, get up. What's the situation outside?" Xu Xuan asked.

"Very good, a very small number of barbarians escaped. I was afraid of chaos, so I didn't dare to send people to chase them. The city is under control, and now the criminals are being cleared."

"Okay, kill them all, and leave no one alive." As soon as these words came out, thousands of lives were lost. Xu Xuan has transformed from a confused modern man at the beginning to a powerful superior.

Many people think that the emperor is the one with the highest power, but this is totally wrong. A dynasty is also composed of various forces. Among the more than 200 emperors since the Qin Dynasty unified China, less than one-tenth of them are truly powerful.

Xu Xuan's power has reached an unprecedented level.

This is a power that combines strength and status, and no one can restrict him.

He has the only air supremacy in the world, and he is invincible in this world.

After a test yesterday, Xu Xuan found that the cannon could not do anything to him, which made him more unscrupulous.

"Yes!" Li Jianxing clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and said, "Tianshi, some things may require you to come forward in person."

"What?"

"The capital is not stable yet, and you need to come forward to meet some people to calm them down. Other immortals will make arrangements, and you only need to come forward when the time comes."

"Okay."

Xu Xuan stayed in the Taoist temple.

The ancient clues have not been read yet. Taiyi Dao has dug many graves in recent years, and there should be many clues.

Inside and outside the capital, flames shot up to the sky.

Li Changsheng was riding a horse, surrounded by many guards. There were many corpses lying on the ground, some of them were enemies, and some were his own.

The revolver in his hand was still smoking.

"Rape and looting! Kill without mercy!!"

Li Changsheng raised his long gun and shouted.

"Kill without mercy!!"

Today he was going to kill people, but not randomly, but after trial.

"Report! The eight gates have been controlled by the incense master of our sect! There are a total of 2,000 soldiers and 5,000 Han soldiers who surrendered. The Duke's Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion, the residences of the royal relatives, civil and military officials are all under control."

"Hong Family, Fan Family..." Li Changsheng took out the list and read out the names of the criminals collected by the spies one by one. "These people's families are thrown into prison, and other ministers are sealed at home and are not allowed to go out."

"Yes!"

The orders were passed down one by one, and they had to be settled one by one next, and no one could escape.

The workload seemed heavy, but it was not that heavy. The barbarians could be killed directly. Except for some leaders who needed to be set an example, the others could be killed on the spot.

Barbarians are easy to recognize. Just see if they can speak Chinese. Even if they can speak Chinese, their accents are different from normal people, so locals can easily recognize them.

If they are really well disguised, there is another trick, which is to look at their scalps. The scalps of barbarians are different from those of Han people who have just had their hair cut.

A shocking massacre is still going on, this time it is revenge.

The mansion of Duke Yansheng.

The new generation of Duke Yansheng and many Confucian scholars are gathering in the hall, sighing.

The pigtails are particularly eye-catching.

"Alas, the new dynasty is still too harsh on the gentry, and the killing is too rampant. It is not a sign of long-term peace and stability." A great Confucian sighed.

"The Southern Emperor seems to have a big misunderstanding of our court. He is probably bewitched by a villain. As a descendant of the saint, you might as well visit Master Xu in person and ask him to show mercy. Then our Confucian school will do its best to support him."

Everyone looked at the old man in the main seat. The old man had a serious expression and cloudy eyes. Even when he was sitting, he had to be polite. His clothes and jewelry were meticulous and he strictly followed the teachings of the saint.

"I will go there in person and explain our difficulties to the master." said the Duke of Yansheng.

According to the previous rules, they would have gone out and knelt down to beg for mercy, and the rulers would give them preferential treatment for the sake of Confucius.

But the situation is different now. The official of Changguo labeled them as cynics and did not recognize the title of Duke of Yansheng. This is simply digging up their roots.

"Yes, Your Majesty has misunderstood us too much. Shenzhou has fallen. We, the Confucian disciples, are responsible for educating the barbarians and persuading them to stop killing. We are not so-called traitors. Confucian scholars are powerless. What else can we do except persuading the barbarians to stop killing?"

"If you ask me, this Southern Emperor and Heavenly Master... are not as good as Emperor Qianqing..."

Emperor Qianqing at least treats them well and respects the Chinese Taoist tradition, while Heavenly Master and Southern Emperor are the culprits who destroyed the Taoist tradition.

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone was terrified, fearing that this immortal would suddenly appear and kill them.

Xu Xuan's actions directly defeated them.

Who would have thought that there really were immortals in the world? If they were born earlier, they would not have to shave their heads. I'm afraid Confucius would not have expected this situation even if he were alive.

"Don't mention the Jin people anymore. They are barbarians and cannot coexist with China."

Before, they could use the excuse that if barbarians entered China, China would be the country. Now that they are all dead and the remaining people are outside the Great Wall, they can't recognize them as the orthodox even if they are thick-skinned.

"You send a visiting card tomorrow. I want to visit the Heavenly Master in person and leave incense for my Chinese Taoist lineage." Duke Yansheng was righteous and awe-inspiring. It was enough to die this time. As long as the Chinese Taoist lineage could be preserved, everything would be worth it.

"Okay!"

Time passed day by day, and the killing in the capital continued. The visiting cards of the Confucian disciples fell into the sea, making them panic.

This kind of torment of neither life nor death drove people crazy. Duke Yansheng went from being passionate to regretful and retreated in his heart.

The southern army was unstoppable all the way.

The army conquered more than ten cities in a row. Wherever they went, the defenders had no power to resist. The northern barbarian camp could not react at all, and there was no movement from the court.

The vast sea was turbulent.

More than ten large ships were sailing on the sea, with the Han dragon flag hanging on the high rails. The leading ship could accommodate up to a thousand people. On the deck, a woman wearing a straw raincoat looked forward with a telescope.

"How long will it take?" Xie Miao put down the telescope and asked the head of the Zheng family behind him.

"If there are no accidents, it will take about three days. It will reach the vicinity of the capital in three days. The cannons on the ship can attack the coast directly."

This is the most advanced ship in Changguo, with a total of ten cannons.

This Northern Expedition was divided into two armies, the navy and the army, among which the navy was the strongest force, crushing the northern barbarians and making him permanently uneasy near the sea.

"Who would have thought that the Northern Expedition was so simple, it really was..." The generals could not describe it in words.

Throughout history, there has never been such a simple Northern Expedition. No wonder people say that Changguo is an immortal dynasty, and above the emperor is a god, acting on behalf of heaven, and the king's power is granted by God.

With such an immortal sitting in charge, the country can never change.

"Yes, the gods have come down to earth to revive the mountains and rivers, which is comparable to the unification of China by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This is a new holy dynasty."

The entire Han family is now full of fighting spirit, sweeping away the staleness of hundreds of years. People's enthusiasm for pioneering and acceptance of new things are far beyond the previous Ming Dynasty.

The three armies are full of expectations and want to reach the north to see the true appearance of the gods.

In Zhongjing, the army is advancing all the way, and now the only thing that restricts them is the speed of advancement.

The gods came down to earth to kill into the capital, beheaded the emperor, and captured the high-level officials in one fell swoop. Even in mythology, the morale of warlords in other provinces has dropped greatly. Even if the news is blocked, they themselves have no intention of uniting. They only want to gather in the city to defend, or retreat to the border to be their own local emperors.

The sun rises in the east, and it is a new era.

China is finally unified, and the next is the sacred era.

From Great Britain to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in the East, the sword hanging high over the mortal world began to rise. Everyone praised his glory and was honored to be favored by him. The rulers of the mortal world all praised him to the utmost.

Everything started from this moment.
