Zhang Dingyang led the army north. According to his and Liu Dangren's plan, he would personally sue Liu Dangren for the rebellion. Then he would be promoted based on the merits of bringing back the army. It would be best to go to the north where they had fought and continue to be a general.

No matter what, there is nothing wrong with resisting the invasion of the nomadic tribes on the grassland. I believe that if such a thing happened, the imperial court would not be able to send Zhang Dingyang south to quell the rebellion.

Liu Dangren would contact the Guanshan Uprising Army in the south and try his best to survive and grow in the Jiangnan area.

Although they were inspired to rebel after looking at the bones on the roadside, Lao Liu and Lao Zhang obviously had a plan, and it was not just a one-off incident.

As the strongest third-level master in the world, he once had a short duel with the second-level master without losing. He was usually known as a famous general, but now he was doing things like opening warehouses and releasing food. Liu Dangren was still very popular for a while.

A wave of powerful families were cut off by him and were temporarily unwilling to cooperate, but many poor families who had been promoted without means began to cooperate.

There are differences between a humble family, an aristocratic family/gentry, and a powerful family. An aristocratic family is about controlling the channels for advancement. Those who are officials in various places, especially those who have been high-ranking officials for several generations, must be an aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family has the best cultivation methods and cultural inheritance. They are related to each other and often collude with each other. They can be said to be the actual controllers of the entire dynasty.

Powerful people have money and land. In short, they are landlords. Of course, aristocratic families also control land. It can be understood that powerful people are families who have no official positions and therefore turn all their energy to land annexation.

Nowadays, the imperial examination exists in name only, and the channels for advancement are blocked, so the powerful and aristocratic families are truly separated.

As for the poor ones, they usually used to be from aristocratic or powerful families, but have declined, or they are distant relatives from aristocratic families who are far away from power. The better ones can cultivate successfully and become a minor official like Wu Hui. The worse ones, they have to be like the common people.

They dig in the fields and leave nothing but bones on the roadside.

The main strategy Liu Dangren is currently thinking of is to win over the few people from poor families and civilians who have read books to replace the power left vacant after the powerful people in Yangzhou City were eliminated.

It's a pity that Wu Hui hasn't heard about what happened here yet.

He also served as an official in the county government.

After spending two days to figure out the situation in the city, Wu Hui showed his ability as a talented civil servant. He mobilized a group of people to kill two powerful men, and used the temptation of some official positions in the city and the threat of force to kill others.

Some of the grain in Haoqiang's warehouse was dug out.

Using grain as payment to recruit people to restore order in the countryside and build city walls can be regarded as work-for-relief. However, Wu Hui currently does not have enough organizational strength to carry out large-scale projects.

Within a few months, Kang County was built by him. He also used the gold and silver seized from the homes of two illegal powerful men to bribe his superiors and ask for a promotion.

He serves as the county magistrate, trying to rescue the people of the county. And it may not be possible. If the natural disaster continues and bandits start again outside, the county town that Wu Hui has just restored some order to will be swallowed up in an instant.

The five most widely circulated cultivation techniques in the world are Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and magic. Among them, military strategists are best at military formations. They can unite a group of ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts to exert extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

The military training is not like Confucianism and Legalism, which requires familiarity with scriptures and laws, nor is Taoism, which requires year-round meditation. It only requires a simple introduction and continuous fighting to improve.

Therefore, those bandit rebels, regardless of their low starting points, will level up faster than anyone else if they win consecutive battles.

Occupying a place in the south, Guan Shan Ting, the leader of the rebels who had the potential to start a prairie fire, was one of them.

A large knife was held in his hand.

Sitting in the mountains and looking at the moon, he looks like a statue of a protector enshrined in a temple.

Even though he was the leader of the rebels, he did not have any particularly outstanding armor. Everyone wore incomplete leather armor and wore as many as they had. The weapons were basically captured swords and guns, plus some crude gadgets made by themselves.

There are not many war horses at all. Fortunately, the terrain here is mostly mountainous, so the advantage of cavalry is not great.

Guan Shanting took everyone to survive at the boundary between Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and slowly grew stronger by taking advantage of the gaps between the officers here.

He was a little worried when he heard that General Liu Dangren, who had made great achievements in northern Xinjiang and was famous for a long time, was coming to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, this general also rebelled halfway and was currently separatist in the Yangzhou area. He also invited Guan Shan

Ting came to the alliance.

After thinking about this invitation for a moment, Guan Shanting decided to go there in person. Regarding this, his subordinates advised the boss not to do so.

What would you do if you died or were placed under house arrest?

However, Guan Shanting had already decided to leave, and said that Liu Dangren did not have enough troops to set up defenses. He could easily get out after he passed by.

Moreover, he felt that Liu Dangren's invitation was very sincere.

Frankly speaking, Lao Liu had no intention of inviting Guan Shanting himself over directly, he just wanted the other party to send an envoy or something.

As a result, today, he saw a man holding a long-handled knife and riding a red date horse coming to visit him alone.

"Guan was invited here. I wonder what General Liu wants to talk about?" Guan Shanting and Liu Dangren met for the first time in the game world, but they hit it off and quickly became familiar with each other. As a result, the rebellion in the south was about to intensify.

.

And in Luoyang, the capital of Daxia.

People outside the city especially starved to death.

On the high platform, there are glasses of wine.

"That guy Liu Dangren has rebelled. I say that people from poor families are unreliable. It's a good thing that the imperial examination has been stopped. Otherwise, who knows what rotten fish and shrimps will be selected." said a householder who came from the Yuan family, the largest family in the dynasty.

Yuan Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry, played with the wine glass and said to his companions.

"It's normal for warriors from the border areas to start to expand their military force once they have it." Next to him, Xie Changxiao, the minister of the Ministry of War, who also came from a wealthy family, said with a smile: "Disloyal people, who have ability but no virtue, how can they compete with me?"

How can we compare ourselves to people who come from a high family and possess both political integrity and talent?"

"Okay, let's not talk about them. Recently, the imperial censor and imperial students are clamoring for the reopening of the imperial examination. Does your old man have any instructions?" Yuan Zhong looked at Xie Changxiao and asked.

"Just block it back. How can a group of scholars rebel?"

The aristocratic family is so high up in the hierarchy that it can easily decide the life and death of countless people. Anyway, they are born as nobles, so naturally they are not willing to let those guys gain power with them through the promotion channel of the imperial examination.

What's more, the cultivation methods of the two schools of Confucianism and Legalism require that one be in a high position and govern in order to improve quickly. Of course, you can also go to teach or something.

As for those students who had studied hard for twelve years and were preparing to take the imperial examination but heard that the imperial examination had been cancelled, they didn't know how they felt.

In the rain, Huang Limin was holding a book of sages and wrote on the city wall that "The imperial examination selects people by focusing on talent but neglecting virtue, which is not the right way. Since its inception thirty years ago, most of the candidates were in high positions and engaged in illegal activities, so it was cancelled."

"The edict was read over and over again.

Years of hard work now seem to be in vain.

Huang Limin was so angry that he threw the book in his hand into a puddle on the roadside, causing mud spots to splash all over his body.
