Legend of the Knight

Originally, after completing his "historical mission", Huang Xiaoshi, who has become a useless person, just sits and eats melons in Luoyang all day long, waiting for the court and King Cheng to decide the outcome.

Unexpectedly, people were really sitting at home, and melons fell from the sky, and such shocking news suddenly broke out, Huang Xiaoshi panicked in his heart.

The nomads broke through the customs and entered the Central Plains. It didn't happen once or twice in the century of this dynasty, but they always invaded from the northwest before. This time it happened in the important place of Gyeonggi.

When foreign barbarians invaded the Central Plains, they must burn, kill and loot along the way. This is also the reason for the panic of the common people, not to mention that this happened in the prosperous hinterland of the Central Plains.

However, the panic in Huang Xiaoshi's heart is different from that of others, the panic in his heart is even greater.

The panic in Huang Xiaoshi's heart was because he saw the series of chain reactions that were about to be caused, which would soon push the script to the worst ending.

This is a bad omen that the world will collapse.

……

Many people may think that how can a mere tens of thousands of Japanese people have such a great destructive power, but this is really not how it is calculated.

First of all, the difficulty of maintaining rule and rebellion is different.

If there was also a foreign army burning, killing and looting in King Cheng's occupied area, King Cheng would not even blink his eyes.

The essence of rebellion is robbery, and King Cheng knows this very well.

Since it is a robbery, the most important thing is to keep grabbing new targets.

Why many insurgents in history grew rapidly at the beginning, and why they collapsed quickly once their offensive was blocked, are all related to this reason.

King Cheng is no longer interested in the areas that have been conquered once. What he needs to defend is only a few important nodes where he hoards supplies and soldiers. As for other places, life and death are up to you.

You may ask, since it is a rebellion, does it not need popular support?

Really don't need it.

First smash the world, then grab the territory, and finally kill all those who dare to resist, kill all those who are stubborn and disobedient, kill all those who have different ideas, and kill all those who don't like it... …

Kill, kill, kill, kill people one after another, and kill those who are still alive at the end, and they will naturally be very good.

And by this time, due to the sharp drop in population, a large amount of idle land has appeared in the entire country, and there is no longer a shortage of resources and conflicts in distribution. There are more people and less land, and everyone can collect as much food as they put in.

Afterwards, the common people will desperately give birth to babies, and when the babies grow up, they will continue to plant more land and harvest more grain, and the country will gradually enter a period of prosperity.

There is a poem that speaks well:
The grass grows from the original place, one year old and one withered and flourished;

Wild fire, in spring.

Aren't people just grass?

Since people are the same as grass, we can cut them casually.

Anyway, the spring breeze blows and gives birth again.

Therefore, despite the high risk of rebellion, its benefits are also ridiculously high.

In order to prevent all the crooked people in the world from embarking on this broad road of "making a fortune", the dynasties have always adopted the most brutal suppression of rebellion.

Once the imperial court tried to quell the rebellion by "recruiting security", the final result was that there were more and more rebels.

On the other hand, maintaining governance is difficult.

It is always easier to destroy than to build, and when the living environment in a certain place is bad enough, the people under the rule will automatically transform into mobs and embark on the road of rebellion.

This unsolvable problem has not changed until a thousand years later ("Rebel Company" is strongly recommended).

Since you are the lord of all the people in the world, you must shoulder the responsibility of protecting all the people in the world.

Now, if the imperial court cannot prevent tens of thousands of Japanese from burning, killing and looting in the Central Plains in a short period of time, it will soon cause chaos in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The chaos in the Central Plains will further weaken the court's various coordination capabilities, and the court's war against King Cheng is very likely to lose.

After King Cheng defeated the imperial army, if there was still chaos in the north of the Yangtze River, he could completely ignore it and concentrate on marching westward along the Yangtze River.

This is called watching the fire from the other side.

The more chaotic the other side is, the more sincere and benevolent it is.

This is worse than bad.

In the end, the court finally couldn't stand it anymore and died, so is the troubled times over?

No, it will be messier.

In the southeast and northwest, all kinds of internal and external forces suppressed by the imperial court will all take the opportunity to jump out and try their best to get a share of this giant corpse.

Some people say: When a whale falls, all things live.

However, all things are born, the whale is the one that dies, and the whale is the one that is eaten without leaving any residue.

Whether the common people are willing or not, once the giant whale of the imperial court dies, they are the meat on the table, the delicacy to be devoured by all things.

This is the worst ending, the most completely chaotic situation in all the troubled times scripts.

There have been similar situations in history.

During the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were about 6000 million Han people in the Central Plains (Han Dynasty people). After experiencing the chaotic wars at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms Conquest and the short Jin Dynasty, they entered the darkest era of the Five Husbands.

When the Five Husbands ended, there were only 400 million Han Chinese left.

This is the real ten not one.

It was precisely because he knew so much that Huang Xiaoshi felt panic in his heart. This is not a chaos that can end in a few years, ten years, or decades.

Whether he wants to leave or stay here to live, Huang Xiaoshi has no way to face such a terrifying situation.

What's more, the destructive power of the Japanese who broke through Shanhaiguan far exceeded people's imagination.

……

When he was treating the emperor, Huang Xiaoshi casually flipped through the memorials left by the emperor, without any other thoughts, just curious about what these memorials were about.

For such disrespect, the emperor also followed Huang Xiaoshi, and he even picked some "interesting" memorials to share with Huang Xiaoshi.

Among them is a memorial, which was reported by the officials of the court navy stationed in Koryo, asking the court to supply the Koryo garrison with food.

When Huang Xiaoshi saw it, he was really surprised.

It turned out that at the time of the plan, the imperial court's garrison in Koryo would be based on local food, and would not cause additional burdens on the Central Plains.

Now there is no natural disaster, how can there be no food supply.

As a result, after reading the memorial, Huang Xiaoshi discovered that the reason was that the population of Goryeo had dropped sharply after the Japanese massacre, a large amount of arable land was barren, the social structure collapsed, and production collapsed, so the local food could not be self-sufficient.

It has only been two or three years since the Japanese invaded, how much has the population of Koryo decreased?

According to the memorial, about 900 million.

Goryeo had a population of about 1000 million before.

The memorial keeps mentioning that the officials of the imperial court witnessed the Japanese massacre of the Goryeo people, such as "there are too many people here, so kill half of them first" and "it's fine today, just killing people for fun".

The memorial said that the original plan of the Japanese was to completely occupy Goryeo. Their plan was divided into three steps: the first step was to send troops to Goryeo; the second step was to kill the Goryeo people;

It's just that the third step was interrupted because of the imperial court's forced intervention, but these invading Japanese are still massacring Koreans wantonly for no reason at all.

What made Huang Xiaoshi feel even more uncomfortable was that the emperor just found such a bloody incident interesting, so he picked up a pen and wrote four words on the memorial, "Gu things eat each other".

Raising Gu is to make a container, let a lot of poisonous insects kill each other in it, attack poison with poison, and the last remaining king of poisonous insects is called Gu.

Throw the carefully cultivated Gu worms into the container one by one, let them kill and eat each other, and the last one left is called the Gu king.

In the eyes of the emperor, this is nothing more than a matter between bugs.

Now, the evil Gu that was about to kill all the Goryeo people - the Japanese army broke through the container arranged by the emperor and went to the Central Plains. Huang Xiaoshi knew exactly how much this group of inhuman demon kings could do.

The first domino has fallen, and if you want to save the game, you have to be fast, the sooner the better.

……

On the third day after Qin Wangling arrived in Luoyang City, the Wulin League held the second Wulin League meeting in Luoyang City.

Because the Wulin League and the Knights League fought for several months in the Heluo area around Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen, the center of the Wulin League was transferred from Wudang to the current Luoyang City.

The leader of the martial arts alliance, Fang Yunhua, is sitting in Luoyang City. At the same time, the two envoys Gu Yuexuan and Wuming are also in Luoyang City. In the past few months, the martial arts alliance, which was almost a decoration, has come to life again, and it has been operating efficiently.

All of this is inseparable from the support of Shennong Baicaomen.

As for Fang Yunhua's Wudang faction, Huang Xiaoshi sent Shang Jingzhong to help guard the gate.

Shang Jingzhong was originally a member of the Tianshan Sect. Although the Tianshan Sect is gone now, Shang Jingzhong will not have any resistance if he is asked to guard the master and his wife.

With the destruction of the Sea Shark Gang, the Knights League has disappeared. Although there are still some free Knights, their spiritual leader, Xiong Tianba, is dead.

Once Xiong Tianba died, there was no second person with the prestige to support the Knights League. Besides, the purpose of using the Knights League was also achieved. Now that King Cheng, who was unable to protect himself, stopped all kinds of support for the Knights League, and the Knights League disintegrated naturally up.

With the disintegration of the Knights League, the division and mutual fighting in the Central Plains Wulin also stopped. This is a good thing, but a bigger crisis has appeared before everyone's eyes.

There is only one topic for this martial arts league conference: rise and fall of the world, everyone is responsible.

Fang Yunhua, the leader of the martial arts alliance, talked with great affection in front of the heroes. He told everyone a bloody fact with the things from the past and the present: under the collapse of the nest, there are eggs.

Once the court is finished, the whole world will be finished together, and saving the court is saving oneself.

Afterwards, Fang Yunhua announced that the Wulin League will set up the Japanese Killing Team Beishangqinwang, and everyone voluntarily signed up to participate.

Just as everyone was eagerly signing up, Fang Yunhua announced to everyone that the Heavenly King and Dragon King of the Tianlong Sect would also join the Wulin League's Japanese killing team as individuals.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone cheered.

This represented that the Tianlong Cult surrendered to the Wulin League, and the Central Plains Wulin won again.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, Huang Xiaoshi and Thorn, who were wearing golden armor, appeared on the stage shiningly.

As a result, as soon as they made their appearance, the meeting immediately became cold. (end of this chapter)
