All Heavens: Starting from Becoming a God

Chapter 40 Failed Peasant Revolt

"I am as old as Jiazi, I am as old as Jiazi, but it is a pity that I could not wait for this day in the end." The great virtuous teacher recited several sentences in succession with a gloomy expression.

"When everything was being arranged at the last minute, who would have thought that the great cause would be leaked by a villain, and the plan of more than ten years would turn into a joke, and the uprising would fall short!"

Wang Yu could hear the resentment in Zhang Jiao's tone.

No matter who is at the last moment of an incident, they will have this expression when someone reveals their plans.

But for this great virtuous teacher, he never wanted to hide it from the local officials, because the news could not be hidden from the mouths of hundreds of thousands of believers.

But as long as it is hidden from the emperor.

The lowest group of officials have never dared to get involved in their Taiping Dao affairs. They were afraid that the news that there was a chaotic party under their control and they had not been cleaned up would be spread to the top.

They didn't know whether Taipingdao would be destroyed as a result.

These officials only know that once accountability comes from above, they will be the only ones unlucky.

But things often happened in unexpected places. A disciple whom Zhang Jiao trusted so much betrayed him, and a confidant whom he personally sent to Luoyang turned around and reported the matter to the emperor.

The Great Master's plan fell into absolute passivity.

"I originally thought that by contacting Chang Shi as an internal agent, when the uprising occurs, we could join forces with the Luoyang cultists and the Imperial Army to break into the palace gate and capture Liu Hong's son in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Jiao stood up from the futon and pointed in the direction of Luoyang!

Wang Yu could understand the thoughts of the great virtuous teacher in front of him, but unfortunately time did not wait for him, and one careless move would result in the loss of everything.

"Unexpectedly, it would be destroyed at the hands of traitors. Not only Ma Yuanyi, the commander of Quzhou in Jing and Yangzhou, was torn apart by a car and died, but none of the Taiping followers who preached in Luoyang were spared. In addition, successive orders were issued to exterminate Taiping Dao. , which forced me to revolt in advance.

But in this way, the weather was lost, and the Tu De Dragon Qi that could have destined the death of the Han Dynasty also dissipated a lot. "

The Taoist held the nine-section staff and smashed it on the ground angrily, and the ferocious dragon of Tu De wrapped around him also began to show its teeth and claws.

But now one person and one dragon are at the end of their strength.

The Great Master took a breath and calmed down a little, with a somewhat sarcastic look on his face:

"What's ridiculous is that the incompetent emperor who used to sell his official positions suddenly woke up under the threat of Taiping Dao. He actually spent his own private money to recruit troops. As expected, the people in the world are not as good as his butt. important!"

Wang Yu naturally knew what happened next.

Under the mobilization of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, relatives, eunuchs, nobles, and powerful people had to stand on the opposite side of Taiping Road.

No one dared to openly disobey the emperor's will. Even though this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the imperial power was no longer what it used to be, no one still dared to risk the disapproval of the world.

After all, this is the land that the Han Dynasty ruled for nearly four hundred years.

The Great Master turned his head to look at Wang Yu, with a trace of visible sadness in his eyes:

"The timing of the hasty start was lost, but I still had the right location and the right people. I still thought that the matter was still under control. But as various places responded one after another, people joined the Yellow Turban Army, and things seemed to be as I imagined. That went well until "

Wang Yu shook his head.

This great sage was a qualified religious leader, but he was not a political leader, nor was he a true military strategist.

Zhang Jiao can only incite their emotions, but the method can truly lead them like an army.

To put it bluntly, the Yellow Turban Army under his command, or the Taiping Taoists, are a group of hungry refugees. They are neither professional soldiers nor educated.

All this mob could see was what was in front of them.

Less than a month after the uprising, there were thousands of people responding, and the slogan of the Yellow Turbans spread from Wei County in Jizhou to 28 counties in seven states.

From the shores of the East China Sea to the Hexi Corridor, wherever the Yellow Turban Army raised its flag, officials abandoned the city and fled, leaving the entire city undefended to the refugees.

But that's where the problem lies.

Those Taiping Taoists who were influenced by the great sages and good teachers were better off. They could only attack those local powerful people, but they did not do anything to the same poor people.

But those thieves and bandits who were originally from the mob and mixed in the Yellow Turban Army were not very particular.

They act recklessly.

This group of people are like locusts, plundering everything they see regardless of occasion or opponent.

"I am too naive. Not all of the hundreds of thousands of Taiping followers are working together for a peaceful world. Some of them don't even let go of people from the same poor background. Even if I give repeated orders, there is still no improvement. .

Taiping morality did not make them a disciplined force, but made them become countless bands of bandits scattered across the Central Plains. Those thugs mixed in the army not only committed evil themselves, but even incited more people to be disobedient. Burn, kill and loot in black and white! "

Zhang Jiao obviously did not expect that his uprising would fail from the beginning. He overestimated his political ability and the discipline of this group of refugees.

The right hand of the great virtuous master supporting the nine-section staff could not stop shaking.

He originally expected people to respond to the uprising and go to Luoyang to overthrow the decadent dynasty, thereby establishing a new order and equal world in this land.

Unfortunately, the opposite happened.

"Taipingdao has completely lost support from all walks of life in the local area. Whether they are civilians or gentry, everyone's expression changes when they hear the Yellow Turbans again. Before the army from the imperial court arrives, local powerful people spontaneously recruit villagers to resist Taipingdao. .”

"So you are reduced to this?" Wang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally interrupted the other party's memories.

"Yes, the Yellow Turban Army, which was hastily formed by a group of farmers, women and children, even with the blessings of Taoism and Dharma in the "Taiping Qingling Book", is still no match for those well-trained officers and soldiers.

The areas where the major canal commanders were in charge were okay, and they could still fight against the government troops relying on their Taoism and numbers. As for the places with small-scale uprisings, they were directly pacified by the local gentry before the government troops could wipe them out. . "

The great virtuous master didn't say anything else. The Tu De Dragon Qi in his body that was about to burn out like fire cooking oil had already proved all this.

His path to peace has only the last breath of rejuvenation left.

Of course, this is not just Taiping Road, but also Zhang Jiao himself.

When the great virtuous master decided to tie himself to Taiping Dao, he had thought of this scene, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Qu Shuaibo killed more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops in Changshe, which became the last straw that broke Taipingdao and me. The weakening Tu Delong Qi is constantly eroding my lifespan.

Before I could think of a way to save myself, tens of thousands of Han Dynasty troops came over. I had no choice but to push back Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, but this was only a one-place victory and did not contribute to the situation. . "

Zhang Jiao seems to be disheartened and no longer as ambitious as before.

"The uprising has no chance of winning anymore. If I take action again, it will only be a crime in vain, so I choose to retreat to Guangzong City. Huangfu Song seems to have noticed my situation, and he only makes casual attacks every day. He is waiting for others. The good news about the eradication of the Yellow Turbans in the region is silently waiting for me to be killed by the fate of humanity."

"But you are still the great virtuous teacher who cares about the world, aren't you?" Wang Yu laughed loudly when he heard this.

"What you can't do, I will do it for you! The peaceful world you want, I will help you realize it!"
