Chapter seventy two.
Ever since the major factions encircled and suppressed Guangmingding, this chaotic world has spent a rare few months of peace. For several months, there have been few disputes in the world.
Correspondingly, the situation in the world's courts is becoming more and more turbulent. In just three months, the rebel armies from all over the world have suddenly grown to a terrifying level!
A few months ago, when the flood season came, the Yuan Dynasty forced farmers to repair the Yellow River. When the farmers were digging the river and building dams, they dug out a one-eyed stone man from the river beach.
Since then, a proverb has spread among the people: "One eye of a stone man can stir up rebellion in the Yellow River!".
Although many knowledgeable people have guessed that this incident must be man-made, the world of Yuan Ting has already reached a point where it is difficult to return.
Over the years, there have been continuous natural and man-made disasters, and the officials under the Yuan Dynasty have already ruined the world, making it difficult for the people to live.
Therefore, even if this is just a drama deliberately designed and arranged by someone with good intentions, those who have long been determined to rebel against Yuan are just waiting for an opportunity and excuse to cause trouble.
The appearance of the one-eyed stone man in the Yellow River happened to give them the opportunity to shout, "The princes and generals will be in peace with each other." In just a few months, countless people from all over the world took up the cause of righteousness (rebellion).
Flag, respond vocally.
In just a few days, three people who called themselves King of Dongshan appeared in Dongshan. In the original Tai, there were a total of seven Taishan Marquises, and even several mountain villages at the foot of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty established themselves as their own country and elected them.
A 'mountain emperor' emerged!
Such a scene made Yuan Ting both furious and unbelievable. A group of men with no more than a hundred soldiers and few generals, but a donkey general carrying a hoe and riding a donkey, dared to call himself Emperor Gaozu and proclaim himself emperor.
Do they really think that Yuan Ting is made of mud?!
The Yuan Dynasty responded quickly and sent troops stationed in various places to suppress the rebellion.
In just a few months, Yuan Ting's army killed twelve emperors, more than thirty rebels, and countless people who claimed to be generals and marquises!
For a time, wars broke out all over the world, and the Yuan Dynasty swept through with thunderous force and quickly suppressed the rebellion that spread to the whole world.
And during this turmoil, I don't know how many people were forced to be involved in this chaos and suffered as a result.
However, the area near Wudang Mountain is quite peaceful and peaceful. After all, Wudang is in charge, and few Yuan soldiers or bandits who take the opportunity to cause trouble dare to tease the tiger's beard.
Although at the beginning, in the villages, towns and cities at the foot of Wudang, there were a few people who responded to the anti-Yuan movement and proclaimed themselves kings, asking the surrounding people and wealthy households to provide grain, grass, horses, weapons and other items, and by the way, they also wanted to pick a few
How can a beautiful young lady and a young daughter-in-law be included in the beauties of her harem?
But before the next day, those scum who took the opportunity to cause trouble and harm the villagers were directly beheaded by Song Qingshu, Zhang Wuji and others who were ordered to go down the mountain and hung them on the city gate tower.
Since then, within a radius of a hundred miles around Wudang, those who wanted to experience the ambition of becoming the tyrant King Zhou have completely disappeared. Even those who are truly determined to resist the Meng Yuan and restore a peaceful and prosperous age to the people of the world.
He also left consciously.
After all, they also know that their existence will inevitably lead to an encirclement and suppression by Yuan Ting. If they stay here, they will only bring disaster to the nearby people.
But after they left, Yuan Ting was intimidated by Wudang's power and would not let the military disaster spread here, which was equivalent to protecting their rear and hometown from intrusion.
What followed was a chaotic war that lasted for several months. After paying a huge price, the Yuan Ting side finally suppressed the anti-Yuan tide.
Although the largest anti-Yuan forces have not been completely defeated, those small forces that took advantage of the situation were directly wiped out by Yuan Ting, which was regarded as a final blow to Yuan Ting.
However, after this battle, Yuan Ting's side was also seriously injured. The few troops in hand were also used up, and the imperial power was already unstable.
Just like the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the Han Dynasty suppressed the peasant uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, but the Han Dynasty eventually perished.
Meng Yuan's current situation is even more difficult than that of the Han Dynasty back then. After all, they are the Central Plains ruled by foreign races, and more than 70% of the people in this world are Han family sons!
This tide of uprising was finally suppressed by Yuan Ting, and the world seemed to have calmed down again, but everyone still knew that this was just an appearance. Under this calm appearance, there was an undercurrent surging and it was already brewing.
Preparing for even greater chaos next time!
The Yuan Ting side could naturally see this, so after the army returned victoriously, the Yuan Ting side not only did not put their horses in Nanshan, but instead began to prepare more actively for war, and made constant small moves against all parts of the world.
It is worth mentioning that just two days ago, the Yuan Dynasty specially sent angels (referring to the eunuchs sent by the emperor to deliver orders) to visit Wudang and lavishly reward Wudang.
The Yuan court pardoned Zhang Sanfeng and conferred the title of Xuanzhen Mysterious Kunyang Zhenren and the Grand Master of the Yuan Dynasty. They even directly ranked Lao Zhang in the Immortal Class and compiled it into the Immortal God List.
Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou and other seven people were also given a lot of awkward Taoist titles and were ranked among the Immortal Class.
Even the well-known disciples of the third generation of Wudang such as Lu Zhi and Song Qingshu, Yuan Ting did not ignore them and directly approved them to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven and "become immortals" together.
In addition, Yuan Ting also sent 30,000 taels of gold, three large boxes of coral treasures, and 600 volumes of Taoist classics, and generously rewarded Wudang without any expense.
It can be seen that Yuan Ting's actions are nothing more than to show his goodwill to Wudang in an attempt to win over the people of Wudang.
It's a pity that Lao Zhang has never cared about these false names, and he is not so obsessed with becoming immortals and ancestors. Besides, Yuan Ting can't do that kind of thing, so he just gave him a name.
Therefore, Lao Zhang directly refused Yuan Ting's reward without hesitation, and directly had the person from Yuan Ting sent down the mountain.
But Yuan Ting was also shameless, and regardless of whether Lao Zhang Tong agreed or not, he went straight to the world and spread the word that Wudang was named the leader of the Taoist sect in the world, and Zhang Sanfeng was the Great Master of the Yuan Dynasty.
If the Meng Yuan side had not had its own religious beliefs and could not change them, I am afraid that the Yuan court would have directly imitated Li Er of the Tang Dynasty and made Taoist Wudang the state religion of the Yuan Dynasty!
The situation on the Wudang side was similar to that of Shaolin. The Yuan Dynasty also sent people to the Shaolin Temple to reward the group of great monks.
As for Shaolin, naturally, like Wudang, they rejected Yuan Ting's reward.
If it were said that it was the time when the Great Yuan Dynasty was at its peak, I am afraid that Shaolin would have accepted it half-heartedly. After all, during the time of the Jin Kingdom, Shaolin had already had such a precedent.
But everyone can see at this time that you, Meng Yuan, are already sunset, and Shaolin is still considering whether to imitate the allusion of the predecessors of the Thirteen Stick Monks who saved the Tang Dynasty. Who cares about you?
The rewards I sent out were rejected one after another, so Yuan Ting did not worry and continued to sing his own one-man show. Anyway, regardless of whether you agree or not, I just want to reward you and tell the world so that everyone knows it.
.
In addition to awarding rewards to Wudang and Shaolin, the Yuan Dynasty has never stopped suppressing the Mingjiao. Now it has directly sent a large army to wipe out the Mingjiao in one fell swoop!
