Chapter 473: The Treasure of God and the Founding of the Ming Dynasty
Qin Wen had already expressed his intention to keep Xu Ding, and all the senior officials, including Dong Zhuo, had acquiesced, but Xu Ding still committed suicide.
Stimulated by Xu Ding's suicide, Xu Chu broke through himself and reached his peak state ahead of schedule through his tremendous grief.
Xu Chu is already at his peak strength at this age, and he will definitely be stronger in the future. It is definitely not a dream to have a basic strength of over 100.
Looking at Xu Chu who was crying, Qin Hao wanted to comfort him, but in the end he said nothing. This may not be a good thing for Xu Chu.
On the other side, Han Xin looked at Li Yuanba with a shocked expression.
Han Xin, who believed in the strength of people, never thought that individual strength could overpower the collective, but Li Yuanba broke his understanding of individual strength.
Incredible divine power, almost inexhaustible physical strength...
Han Xin had no doubt that if he led the army to fight Dong Zhuo, Li Yuanba could ride to his commander's tent alone.
“If I really become an enemy of a monster like Li Yuanba in the future, how should I deal with it?”
At this thought, Han Xin couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but in the end he didn't come up with any good solution.
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans were finally wiped out, and Sizhou completely returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.
Who knows the exact news early? After the Yellow Turbans marched into Sizhou, they transported most of the property they obtained in Guandong to Luoyang.
You must know that the Yellow Turbans, which bloodbathed the entire Kanto region, are extremely rich. Although part of the effort to refine the million-strong army was consumed, the remainder is still an astronomical figure.
As for the Yellow Turban transporting property first but not food first?
This is naturally because the total amount of grain and grass in Yanzhou is too huge, and the transportation in Yanzhou and Sizhou is not convenient, so we have to transport the property that is easier to transport first.
But who would have thought that the Yellow Turban's million-strong army would eventually surrender due to lack of food, and naturally all the treasures would be taken advantage of by the Han Dynasty.
But what’s strange is that after the Han army captured Luoyang, they searched the entire city of Luoyang, but they could not find the Yellow Turban’s treasury.
Finally, some prisoners told the whole story. It turned out that some time before the surrender, Zhang Jiao had secretly sent people to transport supplies out of the city at night.
Everyone thought it was military rations being transported to the front line, but now when I think about it, is it necessary to transport military rations at night?
So Zhang Jiao must be hiding wealth.
In order to support the implementation of the "Trapped Dragon Situation", the Han Dynasty has exhausted all its energy, and the money and grain in Chang'an's treasury has basically been exhausted.
Today's Han Dynasty cannot even support a large-scale battle involving 100,000 people, let alone eliminate the Kanto Yellow Turbans.
After losing an army of millions, the Yellow Turbans are now at their weakest. Once the Yellow Turbans recover, it will be even more difficult to eliminate them.
Liu Hong originally wanted to use the money captured from the Yellow Turbans to purchase grain from aristocratic families after taking Luoyang to support the subsequent war to completely annihilate the Yellow Turbans.
The wealth of the Yellow Turbans was originally taken from the aristocratic families. Now the Han Dynasty uses this part of the wealth to purchase grain from the aristocratic families and then uses it to eliminate the Yellow Turbans. This can be said to be recycling resources.
Who would have thought that Zhang Jiao hid all his wealth before surrendering, which made Liu Hong so angry that he almost died.
Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, all the people involved in the transportation at that time were also killed in the battle as the Han army was purged.
The only one who really knows where that wealth is is Zhang Sheng, Zhang Jiao's son. But will Zhang Sheng tell the big man?
impossible.
Since he can't get information from the Yellow Turban, the big man can only find it by himself. Anyway, the wealth must be in the land of Sizhou, so he can just look for it slowly. The big man tried his best to conceal it, but the news eventually spread throughout the world at an alarming speed.
Zhang Jiao was named Tiangong General, and this treasure was buried by Zhang Jiao. Therefore, this wealth, which was so rich that it could rival the country, was also called "Tiangong's Treasure" by people all over the world.
There are even rumors that the Taoist supreme secret book "The Art of Taiping" was also placed among the "Treasures of Heaven" by Zhang Jiao.
In the minds of those Jianghu knights, why is Xiang Yu so strong? Naturally, it was because he had practiced "The Essential Art of Balance".
Most of the martial arts techniques in the world are in the hands of aristocratic families, and the top mental techniques are concentrated in the hands of hundreds of families. The unique skills of aristocratic families are never spread to outsiders, and it is too difficult to learn from hundreds of families.
Hence, the world's top mental technique "The Art of Peace" has a fatal attraction for knights all over the world.
Wealth, magic weapons, armor, secret books, martial arts... there is everything everyone wants in the "Treasure of Heaven". For a time, the attention of knights and major forces all over the world was focused on Luoyang.
Countless forces wanted to get the ‘Tiangong Treasure’. Once they got it, they would immediately become rich and powerful, but in the end no one could find it, and the ‘Tiangong Treasure’ gradually became a legend.
The third year of Zhongping (186 years), May 1st.
One day after Zhang Jiao's death, Zhang Jiao's son Zhang Sheng, who had fled back to Yanzhou, formally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the recommendation of his subordinates. The country was named "Ming" and Chenliu was its capital.
On the day Zhang Sheng ascended the throne, the five governors including Huang Chao, Fang La, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Hong Xiuquan all arrived and swore allegiance to him. The Ming Emperor Zhang Sheng divided the five governors into marquises.
Zhang Sheng made Zhang Liang prime minister, Zhang Bao general, Xiang Yu chariot general, Zhu Yuanzhang hussar general, and Guo Jia, Feng Yunshan, Dian Wei, Yuexi Li Jin and others also had their own awards.
As for the dead Zhang Jiao, Zhang Sheng was posthumously named Emperor Wen, Xiang Yan was named Duke of Chu, and Xu Ding was named Zhonghou...
The news that Zhang Sheng proclaimed himself emperor soon swept the world, shaking all forces.
Although the Han Dynasty defeated the Yellow Turbans this time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that in the previous war, the Han Dynasty lost all its resources.
The Ming Dynasty has the support of the people all over the world. Although it lost millions of troops this time, it is still dead but not dead.
The Ming Dynasty occupied most of the four states of Yan, Henan, Xu, and Qing, and half of the states of Ji and Yang were under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for the Han Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.
Although the Yellow Turban Uprising in original history was large-scale, it only lasted less than half a year and was wiped out by the Han Dynasty.
In this life of the ‘Yellow Turban Heavenly Kingdom’, three years have passed since the Taiping Religion raised its troops to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past three years, the two sides involved a total of nearly two million troops and fought nearly a thousand large and small battles, affecting the whole world.
Before the war, the Han Dynasty had a population of more than 50 million, and nearly 10 million people died due to the war. However, the Yellow Turban massacre of aristocratic families also liberated a considerable part of the hidden population.
So the total population of the five Kanto states has not dropped much, while the total population of the world has remained at around 4,500.
Second update, please recommend and subscribe. The battle between Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba can actually be written now, or it can be continued later. So should we write it or not? Tangled!
