Chapter 78 A New Era

Take the secret book, clues, and Heshi Bi.

Xu Xuan walked out of the basement.

Outside, Li Changsheng was not there. Now that he had just conquered the capital, in order to prevent external forces from counterattacking, he combined the previous spies and the rebels to establish a temporary defense army.

It has not been a few years since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and there are still many people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"Stand up and cut off your braids for me. Those who report it can reduce their sins!"

As soon as I came out of the basement, I saw Li Jianxing talking to a group of "monks" in front of him.

These are not monks, but Taoist priests with braids, a specialty of the barbarians, who are now queuing up to cut their braids.

If there is no blood debt on your hands, you will basically not be punished, but if you have a debt on your hands and you take the initiative to surrender to the barbarians, your end will not be too good.

"Master, I want to report! This person surrendered to the barbarians and killed many fellow Taoists who were unwilling to cut their braids!" At this time, someone jumped out to report, and everyone made room. A fat guy stood in the middle and trembled.

"It's him!"

"Beat him to death!"

Everyone spoke of the man's sins.

"It wasn't me, I was forced to do it!" The fat man's voice trembled.

"Beat him to death with sticks!" Li Jianxing nodded.

Everyone rushed forward, and after a few rounds, the fat man was no longer alive.

"The Heavenly Master is here!"

As soon as these words came out, whether they saw it or not, the crowd knelt down like fallen wheat.

This shows how high Xu Xuan's reputation is. In this capital city, he is a well-deserved god, just like the disciples of the White Emperor Sect. No matter how many troops are ahead, they feel at ease when they hear the name of the Heavenly Master.

"Well, get up. What's the situation outside?" Xu Xuan asked.

"Very good, a few barbarians escaped. I was afraid of chaos, so I dared not send people to hunt them down. The city is under control, and now we are clearing up the criminals."

"Okay, kill them all, leaving no one alive." Once these words came out, thousands of lives were lost. Xu Xuan, who was a confused modern man at the beginning, has now transformed into a powerful superior.

Many people think that the emperor is the one with the highest power, but in fact, they are wrong. A dynasty is also composed of various forces. Among the more than 200 emperors since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, less than one-tenth of them are truly powerful and have great power.

Xu Xuan's power has reached an unprecedented level.

This is a power that coexists with strength and status, and no one can restrain him.

He has the only air supremacy in the world, and he is invincible in this world.

After a test yesterday, Xu Xuan found that the cannon could not do anything to him, which made him even more unscrupulous.

"Yes!" Li Jianxing clasped his fists and saluted, then turned around and said, "Master, some things may require you to come in person."

"What is it?"

"The capital is still unstable, and you need to come in person to meet some people to calm them down. The other Changsheng will make arrangements, and you only need to come in person when the time comes."

"Okay."

Xu Xuan stayed in the Taoist temple.

The ancient clues have not been read yet. Taiyi Dao has dug a lot of graves in recent years, so there should be a lot of clues.

Inside and outside the capital, flames shot up to the sky.

Li Changsheng rode a horse, with many guards around him. There were many corpses lying on the ground, some of them were enemies, and some were his own.

The revolver in his hand was still smoking.

"Rapists and robbers! Kill without mercy!!"

Li Changsheng raised his spear and shouted.

"Kill without mercy!!"

Today he was going to kill people, but not randomly, but after trial.

"Report! All eight gates have been controlled by our incense master! There are 2,000 soldiers and 5,000 Han soldiers who surrendered. The Duke's Mansion, Marquis' Mansion, and the residences of royal relatives, civil and military officials are all under control."

"Hong Family, Fan Family..." Li Changsheng took out the list and read out the names of criminals collected by the spies one by one. "All these people are thrown into prison, and other ministers are locked up at home and are not allowed to go out."

"Yes!"

The orders were passed down one by one, and they had to be settled one by one, and no one could escape.

The workload seemed heavy, but it was not. The barbarians could be killed directly. Except for some leaders who needed to be used as a warning, the others could be killed on the spot.

The barbarians were easy to recognize. Just see if they could speak Chinese. Even if they could speak Chinese, their accents were different from normal people, and the locals could easily recognize them.

If they were really well disguised, there was another trick, which was to look at the scalp. The scalp of the barbarians was different from that of the Han people who had just had their hair cut.

A shocking massacre was still going on, this time for revenge.

The Mansion of Duke Yansheng.

The new generation of Duke Yansheng and many Confucian scholars are gathering in the hall, sighing.

The pigtails are particularly eye-catching.

"Alas, the new dynasty is still too harsh on the gentry, and there are too many killings. It is not a sign of long-term peace." A great Confucian sighed.

"The Southern Emperor seems to have a big misunderstanding of our court. I guess he was bewitched by the villain. Duke Yansheng, as a descendant of the saint, you might as well visit Master Xu in person and ask him to show mercy. Then we Confucians will do our best to support him."

Everyone looked at the old man in the main seat. The old man had a serious expression and cloudy eyes. Even when he was sitting, he had to be polite. His clothes and jewelry were meticulous and he strictly followed the teachings of the saints.

"I will go and tell the Heavenly Master about our difficulties." Duke Yansheng said.

According to the previous rules, they would have gone out and knelt down to beg for mercy, and the rulers would have given them preferential treatment for the sake of Confucius.

But the situation is different now. The Changguo officials labeled them as cynics and did not recognize the title of Duke Yansheng. This is simply digging up their roots.

"Yes, Your Majesty has misunderstood us too much. China has fallen. We, the Confucian disciples, are responsible for educating the barbarians and persuading them to stop killing. We are not so-called traitors. Confucian scholars are powerless. What else can we do except persuading the barbarians to stop killing?"

"If you ask me, this Southern Emperor and Heavenly Master... are not as good as Emperor Qianqing..."

Emperor Qianqing at least treats them well and respects the Chinese Taoist tradition, while Heavenly Master and Southern Emperor are the culprits who destroyed the Taoist tradition.

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense!"

Everyone was terrified, fearing that this immortal would suddenly appear and kill them.

Xu Xuan's actions directly defeated them.

Who would have thought that there really were immortals in the world? If they were born earlier, they would not have to shave their heads. I'm afraid Confucius would not have expected this situation even if he were alive.

"Don't mention the Jin people anymore. They are barbarians and cannot coexist with China."

Before, they could use the excuse that if barbarians entered China, China would be the country. Now they are all dead and the remaining people are outside the Great Wall. Even if they are thick-skinned, they can't do such a thing.

"Tomorrow you send a visiting card. I want to visit the Heavenly Master in person and leave incense for my Chinese Taoist lineage." Duke Yansheng was righteous and awe-inspiring. It was enough to die this time. As long as the Chinese Taoist lineage could be preserved, everything would be worth it.

"Okay!"

Time passed day by day, the killing in the capital continued, and the visiting cards of the Confucian disciples fell into the sea, making them panic.

This kind of torment of being unable to live or die was driving people crazy. Duke Yansheng went from being passionate to regretful and retreating in his heart.

The army in the south was unstoppable all the way.

The army conquered more than ten cities in a row. Wherever they went, the defenders had no power to resist. The Northern Barbarian Camp could not react at all, and there was no movement from the court.

The vast sea was turbulent.

More than ten large ships were sailing on the sea, with the Han dragon flag hanging on the high rails. The leading ship could accommodate up to a thousand people. On the deck, a woman wearing a straw raincoat looked forward with a telescope.

"How long will it take?" Xie Miao put down the telescope and asked the head of the Zheng family behind him.

"If there are no accidents, it will take about three days. It will reach the vicinity of the capital in three days. The cannons on the ship can attack the coast directly."

This is the most advanced ship in Changguo, with a total of ten cannons.

This Northern Expedition was divided into two armies, the navy and the army. Among them, the navy was the strongest force, crushing the Northern Barbarians and making his coastal areas permanently uneasy.

"Who would have thought that the Northern Expedition was so simple, it really is..." The generals could not describe it in words.

Throughout history, there has never been such a simple Northern Expedition. No wonder people say that Changguo is an immortal dynasty, and above the emperor is a god, acting on behalf of heaven, and the king's power is granted by God.

With such an immortal in charge, the country will never change.

"Yes, the gods come down to earth to revive the mountains and rivers, which is comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors unifying China. This is a new holy dynasty."

The entire Han family is now full of fighting spirit, sweeping away the staleness of hundreds of years. People's enthusiasm for pioneering and acceptance of new things are far beyond the previous Ming Dynasty.

The three armies are full of expectations and want to reach the north to see the true appearance of the gods.

In Zhongjing, the army is advancing all the way, and now the only thing that restricts them is the speed of advancement.

The gods come down to earth to kill into the capital, behead the emperor, and capture all the high-level officials in one fell swoop. Even in myths, there is no such thing.

The morale of warlords in other provinces has dropped sharply. Even if the news is blocked, they themselves have no intention of uniting. They only want to gather in the city to defend, or retreat to the border and be their own local emperors.

The sun rises in the east, and a new era begins.

The Chinese nation is finally unified, and the next era is the Holy Era.

From Great Britain to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in the East, the sword hanging high above the mortal world begins to rise. Everyone praises his glory and is proud to be favored by him. The rulers of the mortal world all praise him to the utmost.

Everything starts from this moment.
