Chapter 156

Meanwhile, Su Ye, far away in Cangzhou, still did not know that a huge net being unfurled within the borders of Great Yong was poised to strike at Cloud Prefecture.

At this moment, he was reviewing with Xun Yu and others the intelligence that the net had gathered from all over the world during this period.

As the time since the net was summoned grew longer.

Thanks to the efforts of Zhao Gao, the Blue Poison Beast, and others.

The scale and scope of the net expanded wildly.

Now it not only covered the two dynasties of great concern, Great Qian and Great Yong.

Even the other three dynasties and dozens of other kingdoms sandwiched between the dynasties were also involved.

"This Great Sheng Dynasty actually lets a seductress rule the country—it's simply ridiculous."

"Losing power and humiliating the nation, agreeing to any conditions."

"Absurd, too absurd!"

Xun Yu looked at the intelligence before him concerning the Great Sheng Dynasty.

He slammed the paper in his hand hard onto the desk in front of him.

Even Xun Yu, usually a modest gentleman, felt his anger rise at the current state of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

"Heh, Wen Ruo, calm down."

"Dynasties rise and fall, monsters appear frequently."

"There's no need to be so angry."

Su Ye saw that Xun Yu, who was usually unflappable, also had moments of losing composure.

He smiled inwardly and comforted him.

Su Ye had already seen the intelligence about the Great Sheng Dynasty as soon as the net delivered it.

How to put it?

It cannot be said to be different from Su Ye's situation at the end of the Qing dynasty in his previous life.

It can only be said to be exactly the same!

The same seductress ruling the country, causing the populace to suffer.

Moreover, it differs from Great Yong, which also had a young ruler and suspicious state.

The Empress Dowager of Great Yong, although she was a bit hasty in trimming the fiefdoms,

but did not throw the court into chaos, and she showed extra care toward that young ruler.

Her thought was to help that young emperor safeguard the realm.

When he comes of age, she will return the authority.

Now the princes' rebellion in Great Yong, the Empress Dowager's trimming of the fiefdoms is actually just a spark.

The real cause is that those powerful princelings were originally itching to move.

They eyed the young emperor who had just ascended the throne with ill intent.

Constantly staring at the throne beneath the young emperor.

The Empress Dowager's trimming of the fiefdoms merely gave them a plausible excuse.

They had long wanted to rebel.

But the Great Sheng Dynasty is different.

Now all the chaos within the Great Sheng realm is of the Great Sheng seductress's own making.

She is obsequious toward outsiders, but strikes hard internally.

She harms the loyal and virtuous, throwing the court into disorder.

She is extravagant and licentious.

She does every bad thing.

Exactly like the old seductress Empress Dowager Cixi of the previous life.

Even a bit more excessive.

She's just missing the line 'Better to ally with foreign states than to grant favors to domestic slaves.'

However, what she does is not really different.

As one of the five great dynasties on the Tianwu Continent.

Not being able to beat other dynasties would be forgivable.

Now the Great Sheng Dynasty can't even beat the small neighboring kingdoms!

All kinds of ceding territory and paying indemnities!

The most outrageous thing is.

At least a skinny dead camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the previous generation's Great Sheng emperor wasn't great either.

But at least he left something for the old seductress and the young ruler.

Even inside there was a loyal old general and the last Dao Soldiers held by the Great Sheng imperial household.

But the old seductress's sneaky move came.

When this old general took the Great Sheng Dynasty's last Dao Soldiers out on campaign.

Under the temptation of power, the old seductress had long lost her original heart.

She listened to slander, secretly colluded with enemy spies, and at the Great Sheng Dynasty's most perilous moment directly used this old general and the last Dao Soldiers as bargaining chips.

She sold them off outright!

In the end, the old general committed suicide on the battlefield, and the Great Sheng Dynasty's last Dao Soldiers surrendered to the enemy.

All that can be said.

Talent!

Su Ye, however, was also quite startled when he just saw this intelligence.

All that can be said is that some people's brain circuits are not something ordinary people can understand.

Directly breaking up a good hand, playing it to make a 3-4-5-6 without a 7.

Ordinary people can't even manage to do something like this!

All that can be said is that even squandering wealth depends on talent.

As for ruining a country, there's no need to say more.

So, in a certain sense.

The old witch of the Da Sheng dynasty is also a person of extraordinary talent.

Therefore, having seen the rivers and mountains of another world's Qing dynasty fall.

Su Ye's acceptance of this situation within the Da Sheng dynasty is actually already quite high.

At least, this Da Sheng dynasty, no matter what.

Whether ceding land and paying reparations, or losing sovereignty and suffering humiliation.

The benefits all go to the surrounding great dynasties and even imperial dynasties that share the Central Plains people.

The meat is all in the pot of the Central Plains people themselves.

Not like Su Ye's previous life.

All ended up benefiting foreign barbarians.

Therefore, Su Ye actually still likes to see this situation in the Da Sheng dynasty come to fruition.

Such a dynasty, it's better to destroy it early!

Even this intelligence, Su Ye's attention to that old witch of the Da Sheng dynasty is not as much as another name.

Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Hong Xiuquan!

Just like Zhang Jiao within the Da Qian realm.

Hong Xiuquan did not appear in Su Ye's summoning or balance.

Just like Zhang Jiao, he is one of the data fragments that fell when the system fought another system at that time.

And likewise, he descended into an environment similar to his previous life.

All that can be said is that this Taiping Heavenly King's obsession is quite deep.

According to the intelligence transmitted by the Luo Wang.

Hong Xiuquan of the Da Sheng dynasty likewise walked the old path of his previous life.

Within the Da Sheng realm, he established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, proclaimed himself Heavenly King, set the capital at Tianjing, and carved one each of the jade seal, gold seal, and wood seal.

He wrote the 'Original Dao Awakening the World Instruction', 'Original Dao Saving the World Song', 'Original Dao Enlightening the World Instruction', promoting the Heavenly Father God as the one true God, that all people should worship only God, not evil gods, pointing out that the true God of creation is only God, without distinction of nobility, worship should be sincere.

The Heavenly Father God is shared by all; the world as one family has been passed down since ancient times.

From Pangu down to the three dynasties, ruler and subject together revere the Heavenly Heaven, the world's vital principle is singular, asserting that all men and women in the world are brothers and sisters nurtured by God, and must strive for the great unity ideal of 'one world family, sharing peace'.

How can a monarch selfishly monopolize? Under heaven all are brothers; God sees them all as innocent children. Moreover, targeting the prevalent social decadence, he advises people to become upright, to strictly avoid lust, disobeying parents, committing murder, becoming thieves, practicing sorcery, and gambling.

He improved the official system, built royal palaces, and established the five army chief commanders.

He promulgated the 'Heavenly Dynasty Land System', abolishing feudal land ownership.

The Eastern King Heavenly Father Yang Xiuqing and Western King Heavenly Brother Xiao Chaogui issued the 'Proclamation of Heavenly Punishment Against the Barbarians, Sent to All Directions', placing the three characters 'True Heavenly Mandate' above the words 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' in the document, indicating that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom truly receives the Heavenly Mandate, and thereafter it became an institution.

It truly is ahead of its time by countless years.

Moreover, the people accompanying Hong Xiuquan are also quite complete.

Su Ye looked at the main personnel of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the intelligence.

Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xuanjiao, Fu Shanxiang, Xiao Chaogui, Xiao Youhe, Feng Yunshan, Xiao Youfu, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, etc.

Most of the main members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have gathered.

Although in this age of chaotic demons dancing.

Most of these people may end up as cannon fodder.

But within the Da Sheng dynasty where the rivers and mountains have fallen.

For now, it's still quite useful.

The momentum of the uprising is still quite impressive.

Even its expansion speed at one point surpassed that of Zhang Jiao in the Da Qian realm.

After all, Si Xiao Fei of the Da Qian dynasty, although not a wise and capable ruler,

but is certainly not a mediocre ruler.

Moreover, the Da Qian dynasty does not want, like the Da Sheng dynasty, its loyal ministers and brave generals to be forced to death or flight by the old witch.

On the contrary, compared to the Da Sheng dynasty, the Da Qian dynasty,

that is truly much better.

Want an army, have an army; want a War God, have a War God; want Dao Soldiers, have Dao Soldiers.

Even there is Gu Changqing, this kind of state-defining divine needle!
