Chapter 110: Gatling Guns Save All Living Beings, Xiao Longnu Joins the Heavenly Court

In the perception of the Southern Song, the Mongols were mere barbarians.

Therefore, the Southern Song and the Mongols directly allied to destroy the Jin Dynasty.

Now, the Southern Song faces the Mongols directly; the Mongols have torn up the agreement and are launching a fierce assault on the Southern Song.

Facing the powerful Mongol iron cavalry, the Southern Song can only barely hold on, generally retreating step by step.

The strategy of the Southern Song may not have been wrong, but their strength was insufficient.

In the end, after destroying the Jin Dynasty, they only acted as a stepping stone for the Mongols.

Under the leadership of Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire's cavalry even slaughtered their way into Europe, earning the title of the Whip of God.

Facing such a powerful Mongol force, the Southern Song has only the strength to parry, not the strength to counterattack.

The Heavenly Pride of a generation, Genghis Khan, is currently forging a great empire that spans Europe and Asia.

The Mongol Empire is currently at the height of its momentum.

It is under these circumstances that Su Xiaoxiao leads an army of ten thousand to strike directly at the Mongol main force.

The Mongol army was attacked by Su Xiaoxiao, and for a moment, they found it unbelievable.

The Mongol army is currently victorious in every battle; one could say that no one dares to fight them.

Although they have not yet taken down the Southerners in the south, those cowardly and weak Southerners in the south do not dare to leave their cities to fight them at all.

They only rely on the strength of their city walls to resist the Mongol army.

It has always been the Mongol army attacking others; this is the first time someone else has attacked the Mongols.

This fills the generals of the Mongol army with explosive rage.

"Do these weak Southerners dare to ambush my Mongol warriors? Mongol warriors, let these weak Southerners know the might of my Mongol warriors."

The fifty-thousand-strong Mongol army quickly assembles, preparing to annihilate Su Xiaoxiao's army.

Facing the fifty thousand iron cavalry, Su Xiaoxiao shows no expression at all.

In the feudal era, fifty thousand Mongol iron cavalry were indeed extremely powerful in combat.

It could even be said that possessing fifty thousand Mongol iron cavalry would make carving out a kingdom no problem at all.

But unfortunately, the ten thousand people led by Su Xiaoxiao are not only transcendent beings, but they also possess a massive amount of modern weaponry.

Under the leadership of the Mongol generals, the fifty thousand Mongol iron cavalry launch a charge toward Su Xiaoxiao's ten-thousand-man army.

"Charge! Charge! Tear these cowardly and weak Southern Han People to shreds!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! A group of lowly Han People dares to ambush the great Mongol warriors."

The fifty thousand iron cavalry launch a charge toward Su Xiaoxiao's army.

If this were a normal battle, the fifty thousand iron cavalry could tear apart every enemy standing before them.

But unfortunately, they are facing Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao says softly, "Fifty thousand cavalry, indeed powerful, but the era has changed."

Su Xiaoxiao gives an order, saying, "Bring out the weapons."

In an instant, the ten thousand soldiers each hold a Gatling Machine Gun, and some hold Artillery.

The Gatling Machine Guns unleash a barrage directly at the fifty thousand iron cavalry.

Even as the fifty thousand iron cavalry charge continuously, they cannot withstand this Equalizer of a weapon.

Not long after, this battle ends in a one-sided rout.

Su Xiaoxiao leads the ten thousand troops to continue saving all living beings, and within one week, the Mongol Empire has been destroyed.

The Heavenly Pride of a generation, Genghis Khan, dies before his ambitions are realized.

Su Xiaoxiao also has a bit of admiration for this Heavenly Pride of a generation, Genghis Khan.

But unfortunately, since they are enemies now, she can only send this Genghis Khan to his death.

After Su Xiaoxiao leads the ten thousand troops to destroy the Mongol Empire, the news reaches the Southern Song.

The Southern Song is currently unable to catch its breath while facing the powerful Mongol Empire, fearing that one careless move will lead to the destruction of their nation and race.

Upon hearing that someone has destroyed the Mongols, they find it somewhat unbelievable.

Only after confirming it repeatedly do they verify the news.

The Mongol Empire, which had suppressed the Great Song until it could not breathe and had beaten the Great Song to the brink of national extinction, has just been destroyed like this.

Once they react, the Great Song imperial court begins to worry again.

Who exactly destroyed the Mongol Empire?

Lin'an City of the Great Song.

The Emperor of the Great Song and the high-ranking officials of the court gather together to hold a discussion.

The Emperor of the Great Song looks at the court ministers and asks, "Has it been discovered yet what kind of sacred entity this force is that destroyed the Mongol barbarians?"

This is not only a question that worries the Emperor, but also a question that concerns all the ministers.

Because if the other party could destroy the Mongols, they could also destroy the Great Song.

The Great Song could barely hold on even when facing the Mongol Empire.

How much more so against a force even stronger than the Mongols?

At this moment, the news has already reached the capital, and the Commissioner of the Privy Council walks out and reports, "According to reports from scouts at the front, those who destroyed the Mongols numbered only ten thousand. The other party claims to be from Daxia."

"Ten thousand people? Daxia?"

The ministers in the court all begin to discuss it.

"How is that possible? Ten thousand people could destroy the Mongols?"

"And Daxia, what kind of force is Daxia? We have never heard of it."

"This Daxia suddenly appearing to destroy the Mongols, is it a blessing or a curse for the Great Song?"

Back then, the Great Song allied with the Mongols to destroy the Jin Dynasty, making a wrong choice once.

Or rather, they did nothing wrong, but the final result was to make wedding clothes for the Mongols.

In the current situation, what should be done in the face of the suddenly appearing Daxia?

And how exactly did ten thousand people wipe out the Mongol Empire?

One must know that the entire Mongol population was a nation of soldiers, with an army of at least several hundred thousand.

Yet such a force was wiped out in a mere three days.

Dare not think, truly dare not think.

The Emperor of the Great Song also showed some panic and said, "This Daxia is coming aggressively; what is the plan for now, what can be done?"

The Emperor of the Great Song looked at the court officials.

Some officials suggested going to establish diplomatic relations with Daxia, while others said there was no need to fear.

But in reality, none of them offered any substantive suggestions.

It left the Emperor of the Great Song feeling agitated and restless.

At this moment, the Commissioner of the Privy Council stepped forward, smiled confidently, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble official thinks there is no need to worry."

"No need to worry?"

The Emperor of the Great Song rebuked, "Daxia could wipe out the Mongols, so they could wipe out the Great Song; you tell me not to worry?"

But he heard the Commissioner of the Privy Council say with a smile, "Your Majesty, calm your anger. This humble official received some news: the leader who commanded the ten thousand Daxia troops is a woman."

"A woman? What kind of joke are you making? A mere woman could achieve this level?"

"Indeed, could a woman wipe out the Mongol Empire?"

All the court officials could not believe it.

Even the Emperor of the Great Song was somewhat skeptical, until after confirming it repeatedly.

The Great Song court finally confirmed that the one who wiped out the Mongol Empire was indeed a woman.

Or rather, two women, one named Su Xiaoxiao and one named Xiaolongnü.

What kind of ridiculous names are these?

After confirming this news, all the Great Song court officials breathed a sigh of relief.

A woman, that would be easy to deal with.

Women are always prone to acting on impulse; one only needs to employ a little strategy and calculate a bit.

Perhaps that powerful army of ten thousand would also fall into their hands.

The Emperor of the Great Song immediately spoke up, "This Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaolongnü have rendered meritorious service in destroying the Mongols; how about I send someone to bestow rewards upon them, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, remember to bring this army of ten thousand under the management of the Great Song; for a woman to be a general, what kind of decorum is that?"

"Indeed, it was only by luck that they were able to destroy the Mongols."

No one felt there was anything wrong with this, or rather, any officials who felt it was wrong had long since been pushed out.

The current Southern Song court is just this corrupt, just this insane.

Everyone in the Great Song court did not take the two women seriously.

Throughout history, there have indeed been talented women who realized their ambitions in various fields.

But after the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism of the Southern Song was established as the ruling ideology, women were almost entirely confined to the four walls of the backyard.

In the eyes of most people in the Great Song, women are foolish, incompetent, and naturally inferior to men.

This is what caused the ignorance of the entire Great Song court.

And just as the Great Song officials were still discussing, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaolongnü killed their way into the imperial palace and took over the entire imperial city.

Su Xiaoxiao walked in from outside, sneered, and said, "Oh, how do you plan to reward us?"

The officials present were all silent for a moment.

This is Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaolongnü; how could they appear here?

Does their appearance here mean that they have already breached the imperial city?

"Witch, in the imperial court, do not be presumptuous."

"Evil creature, with the Emperor present, why not quickly kowtow and pay respects?"

Xiaolongnü used the Shotgun in her hand to give the few officials who spoke up a dose of the Equalizer, blowing their heads apart.

Xiaolongnü did not have that much time to beat around the bush with these Great Song officials.

Xiaolongnü walked out directly and said indifferently, "I want to be the Emperor. Who approves? Who opposes?"

"Presumptuous, rebellious subjects, rebellious subjects."

"You, a mere woman, how can you be Emperor? Rebellious subjects, what are you trying to do?"

A few more shots of the Equalizer, and the surviving officials present finally stopped babbling.

Instead, they were trembling and scared to death.

The Emperor of the Great Song gulped, furious to the point of death, but dared not say a single word.

He was even afraid that Xiaolongnü would give him a shot of the Equalizer and send him straight to the Western Heaven.

Xiaolongnü repeated her question, saying, "I want to be the Emperor. Who approves? Who opposes?"

Now, no one dared to speak; the smart officials chose to kneel and bow immediately.

"Pay respects to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

One official after another spoke up in succession, bowing to Xiaolongnü as Emperor right in front of the Great Song Emperor.

The Emperor of the Great Song's eyes were splitting with rage; this feeling was no different from being cuckolded in front of his own eyes.

The Emperor of the Great Song panted heavily, and Xiaolongnü looked at him and asked, "What, do you have an opinion?"

"No, I know my own qualifications are insufficient and I am unworthy of being Emperor. Your Majesty is the true person of heavenly destiny, the True Dragon Son of Heaven."

The Southern Song Emperor spoke hypocritically.

In reality, what he thought in his heart was, a woman as Emperor, how could that be possible?

What talent does a female Emperor have to be Emperor?

Can they govern this country well?

Just wait. Don't look at how powerful this Xiaolongnü is now; before long, she will also be driven off the imperial throne.

Let me lie low for a period of time first and endure it for a while.

The Southern Song Emperor understood that even if Xiaolongnü had ascended the throne now, if the people of the world heard that a woman was the enemy, the tide of rebellion would inevitably gather and respond.

The armies of the loyalists would sooner or later break into the Imperial Capital and overthrow Xiaolongnü's rule.

At that time, he would still have a chance.

As long as one is alive, there is a chance.

The Southern Song Emperor judged based on historical precedent, and there was nothing wrong with that.

A woman as Emperor, how could it be that easy?

The only woman in history was Wu Zetian.

But this only female Emperor actually had more of her ability points in political maneuvering rather than in governing the country.

In 1240 AD, Xiaolongnü and Su Xiaoxiao led the Daxia army to destroy the Mongol Empire.

At the end of August of the same year, the Southern Song Emperor Zhao Jun, citing insufficient virtue, abdicated the throne to Xiaolongnü.

In September, Xiaolongnü proclaimed to the world the establishment of Daxia, and Xiaolongnü became the founding female Emperor of Daxia.

The destruction of the Mongols and the fall of the Southern Song at the hands of Daxia shook the world.

And the news of Xiaolongnü proclaiming herself Emperor stirred up opposition from countless people in the world.

Starting from the Jiangnan region, a massive uprising broke out.

The rebel army, in the name of loyalty to the throne, campaigned against the female Emperor of Daxia.

It was also on October 1st of this year that Xiaolongnü proclaimed to the Heavenly Court that she would join the Heavenly Court.

"I, Xiaolongnü, am willing to lead Daxia to join the Heavenly Court. I ask for the Heavenly Emperor's gracious permission."

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Qin Hao received Xiaolongnü's request and immediately summoned Yunxiao Niangniang to descend into the world where Xiaolongnü resided.

Xiaolongnü named the newly born nation Daxia; this was rather interesting.

Qin Hao only paid a little attention to it before continuing to sink into cultivation.

And Yunxiao Niangniang, carrying the Heavenly Emperor Decree, descended into the martial arts world where Xiaolongnü resided.

As a former member of the Jie Sect, Yunxiao Niangniang's strength was not poor.

It could even be said that her strength already chased after those ancient Great Divine Abilities of Honghuang and had already broken into the ranks of the Quasi-Sage.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the Great Calamity, in order to avenge her elder brother Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao descended the mountain.

Yunxiao Niangniang set up the Nine-Turn Yellow River Array, overturned the natural order, trapped the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and shaved away the Three Flowers atop the heads and the Five Qi within the chests of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

It could be said that Yunxiao alone almost wiped out the twelve most outstanding disciples of the Chan Sect directly.

In the end, it was only when the two Saints, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, took action that they suppressed and killed the Sanxiao and sent them onto the Investiture of the Gods.

The Sanxiao Niangniang were sent onto the Investiture of the Gods and remained unconvinced.

After all, they had countless opportunities to directly execute the Twelve Golden Immortals and send them onto the Investiture of the Gods first.

But because they were mindful that the Three Teachings were one family and the Three Teachings' orthodoxy was one family, they did not strike ruthlessly.

They only shaved away the Three Flowers atop the heads and the Five Qi within the chests of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

But who knew, they were mindful of the sentiments of the Three Teachings, but Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were not.

They directly used their status as Saints to suppress and kill them; how could the Sanxiao Niangniang not harbor hatred in their hearts?

It was a pity that they were sent onto the Investiture of the Gods; even if they had ten thousand kinds of hatred in their hearts, there was no way to do anything.

The Sanxiao Niangniang had originally been in despair, but who knew that the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court would break the shackles of the Investiture of the Gods, allowing them to continue their cultivation.

The Sanxiao Niangniang naturally cultivated diligently, seeking to become Saints.

Because they understood that only by becoming a Saint would one possess the qualifications to master one's own Fate.

Otherwise, even a Quasi-Sage is fundamentally nothing in front of a Saint.

Yunxiao Niangniang recalled the time of the Investiture of the Gods, the Great Calamity, and realized her defeat lay in two points.

The first was being soft-hearted, too saintly, and not decisive enough in killing.

Since the quota for the Investiture of the Gods was fixed, one should have seized the opportunity to send the people of the Chan Sect and other orthodoxies up as quickly as possible.

For every extra spot they took on the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect would have one less.

Why didn't she think of a way to do that back then?

Clearly, her elder brother had already been plotted against and sent onto the Investiture of the Gods, yet she still held back and was not decisive enough in her actions.

The second was that one must have strength, the strength of a Saint.

Otherwise, under the Great Calamity, one is ultimately nothing but an ant.

Yunxiao Niangniang was very grateful to the Heavenly Emperor and naturally wanted to handle matters well for the Heavenly Emperor.

Yunxiao Niangniang restrained all her power and, holding the Heavenly Emperor Decree, descended upon the Daxia Dynasty.

"I am Yunxiao, under the command of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court. Where is the Daxia Emperor, Xiaolongnü?"

Xiaolongnü stepped forward and said respectfully, "Xiaolongnü pays respects to Yunxiao Niangniang."

Because Su Xiaoxiao had uploaded information about Honghuang, Xiaolongnü knew a little bit about the Sanxiao Niangniang.

This Yunxiao Niangniang was also a Great Divine Ability.

Of course, for Xiaolongnü, all existences in the Heavenly Court were Great Divine Abilities.

Yunxiao Niangniang nodded and took out the Heavenly Emperor Decree.

"Now, the Empress of the lower realm's Daxia Dynasty, Xiaolongnü, leads the Daxia Dynasty to join the Heavenly Court; she shall be a model for the lower realm, and I shall bestow rewards upon her."

"Bestow upon Daxia Empress Xiaolongnü five thousand years of cultivation and five thousand years of lifespan. One scroll of sword techniques, one volume of Daoist methods."

"Bestow upon the Daxia imperial army a thousand years of cultivation and a thousand years of lifespan."

"Bestow upon the Daxia commoners three hundred years of cultivation and three hundred years of lifespan."

"Bestow upon the Daxia imperial court one volume of cultivation techniques."

As Yunxiao Niangniang's words fell, the Heavenly Emperor Decree scattered golden light.

The entire Daxia kingdom was shrouded beneath the golden light, and Creation descended.

Xiaolongnü's cultivation and lifespan increased directly, and the lifespans and cultivation of the Daxia court officials increased directly.

Daxia, the whole nation ascended to immortality.

Naturally, the Heavenly Emperor Decree could clearly connect Causality and distinguish who were the true people of Daxia.

Within the Daxia imperial court, only a small portion of people received the blessing.

Because this portion of people had truly already defected to Daxia, having made up their minds to be loyal to Daxia and loyal to Xiaolongnü.

Within the borders of Daxia, it was the same.

A large number of Daxia commoners received the blessing, but many ambitious people and many insurgent armies remained ordinary people, having received no blessing at all.

At this moment, they had only endless regret.

Even the Emperor of Great Song regretted it at this moment.

"Am I not also a Daxia person? Am I not also Daxia? Why do I have no lifespan and no cultivation? I am willing to die for Daxia, I am willing to be loyal to Daxia."

This was not only the thought of the Emperor of Great Song, but also the thought of those Great Song court officials.

Had they known they could receive the blessing of immortals, what would they still be loyal to Great Song for?

They could also be loyal subjects of Daxia.

What is loyalty? What is power?

Where does it compare to an increase in lifespan?

Even ordinary commoners of Daxia could receive three hundred years of lifespan.

That is three hundred years.

And those colleagues and minor officials who were once pressed under their feet directly received a thousand years of lifespan.

A thousand years of lifespan, a thousand years of cultivation!

These officials' eyes were red with jealousy.

It is a pity that they had already missed the opportunity.
