The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

"Even the remains were ground up and thrown into the fields to fertilize the soil."

“What a sin!!”

"This time, let's directly write a letter to His Majesty to impeach him—" someone said indignantly.

"Let His Majesty take care of this mad king!"

"How can we tolerate his recklessness?"

Zhu Jingli could see the memorials submitted by the gentry, but how could he control Shu Yichao?

"I never expected the King of Dian to act so perversely, causing widespread public resentment and outrage."

"but……"

"Alas, how can I decide these matters?

Zhu Jingli had a bitter face.

Issue an order to Shu Yichao to stop persecuting the gentry?

Let’s not even talk about whether people regard him as the emperor or whether the imperial edict is useful.

Whether this imperial edict can be delivered to Shu Yichao is a question.

Who knows, the imperial edict might be used by some bandit to wipe out his own affairs along the way.

But when Zhu Qing'e learned about the situation, her eyes lit up.

"Father."

She said happily.

"This is exactly what I said before, the time to clean up the court and eliminate the treacherous officials."

"This bandit leader is only from the mountains after all."

"Short-sighted, shallow-minded-

"For a little immediate gain, I actually offended the gentry of Shu."

"There are many Shu scholars in the court now, and the King of Dian is digging his own grave..."

"In my opinion, his luck will not last long!"

Although Zhu Qing'e is a woman, she is well-read and knowledgeable.

Throughout the dynasties, the local powerful people were treated well in order to establish a stable rule.

But Shu Yichao did the opposite.

Favor the common people and neglect the gentry.

This is self-destruction!

"Father, please give me some time."

"The people's hearts can be used."

She said confidently.

"I will surely restore peace to the country from its peril, and the sun and moon from their darkness to their brightness again."

"...What do you want to do?" Zhu Jingli shuddered.

He felt that his daughter seemed to be planning to do something very dangerous.

"whee."

"Don't worry, Father."

"It's up to me."

Chengdu, Governor's Residence.

"You..." Sichuan Governor Luo Sen licked his dry lips.

"Are you also here on the secret decree of His Majesty?"

Tan Hong and Wu Zhimao, the generals of northern Sichuan, stood in front of a group of gentry, looking at each other, but no one spoke.

But from their flashing eyes, Rosen knew everything.

There is no need to say more.

"The mad thief is committing treasonous acts and wreaking havoc on the world."

"We should follow the order and attack them!"

"Eliminate the traitors!"

"Restore order to the court of Da Meng!"

There is no doubt that these people are also victims of Shu Yichao's new policy

As the saying goes, three years as an honest magistrate earns you a hundred thousand dollars.

They all became provincial governors, generals, and important officials. It is unknown how much money they handled.

The tributes and contributions from local officials alone amounted to a huge sum of money.

Add to that the land they secretly occupied, the businesses they seized, the smuggling they controlled, and all the various fire and waste costs...

That day, not to mention how comfortable it was.

However, Shu Yichao came.

After a bunch of laws were issued, everything was gone!

Although in reality the salary set by Shu Yichao was enough for them to live a comfortable life.

But which bureaucrat lives on salary alone?

What's more, Shu Yichao seems to be eyeing their land.

As a result, this group of people became the vanguard against Shu Yichao, which led to today's alliance.

"Alas, nowadays bandits are rampant in Bashu, doing evil things, and there is also a group of bandits who are traitors and are the leaders of the evil." Rosen spoke first.

"They bully the emperor and torture the people. Their actions are simply outrageous and they deserve death!"

"I hope everyone can now pool their wisdom, speak freely, and discuss a solution."

"I only hope that one day Bashu will be peaceful and I can retire to the countryside and enjoy my remaining years."

"Humph! Since we are in the Confucian Academy, it is our duty to sacrifice our lives for the country and plead for the people!" A gentry immediately responded loudly.

"How can you refuse without a reason?!"

The atmosphere on the scene was very lively.

But, facing the firearms and mines of Shu Yichao's plant army, what methods do these self-proclaimed gentry have?

You can't resort to verbal battles, spreading rumors, or even using the broken boot formation to intimidate the government.

The gentry are really good at this.

But the last time they used this method against the King's Army, the Jianzhou Eight Banners soldiers came straight at them with their swords.

As it turns out, the results are less than ideal.

The bandits are also good at recovering stolen goods to raise funds, and I'm afraid they won't fall for this trick.

So, it seems that there is only one way left.

assassinate.

"I have already sent people to inquire among the bandits." A gentry shared the news he had received.

"It is said that most of the bandits have seen the King of Dian sowing beans and turning them into soldiers.

"Most of those plant armies were directly conjured by the King of Dian."

"It's probably because they're forcing the growth of plants, using witchcraft to force the plants to transform into spirits.

“Thus, those bandits almost exclusively obeyed the orders of the King of Dian.

"Hmph!" someone sneered.

"He is indeed a demon, using all sorts of conspiracies and tricks, using sorcery to bring disaster to all living beings..."

"If we do this, we will end up being nothing more than a bunch of muddleheaded people.

"Once the commander dies, everyone will scatter like birds and beasts."

"So we have to capture the leader first." Wu Zhimao spoke after being silent for a while.

"As long as we can eliminate this culprit and declare that only the ringleader will be executed, while those who accomplices will be spared, then the rest can be settled with a simple decree."

"Your Majesty will naturally be able to govern the country by then."

"We are naturally the loyal ministers who turned the tide when the tide was already falling, supported the building when it was about to collapse, and saved the country of Da Meng from danger. Our names will be recorded in history!"

"By then, the harmonious relationship between the ruler and his subjects will be a story that will be passed down through the ages."

"......But how to deal with the group of grass soldiers under the King of Dian?" someone asked.

"The King of Dian was almost always surrounded by a horde of bandits, never leaving his side."

"Our soldiers..."

Then the combat effectiveness is far inferior.

But the soldiers on the opposite side are grass and wood soldiers who can even defeat the Eight Banners Cavalry.

The man swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Haha, hahaha..." At this time, an old man in the crowd laughed softly.

"Mr. Shi, what advice do you have?" someone asked politely.

"This is one time, that is another time." Mr. Shi spoke slowly.

"All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive; this is the law of nature."

"Although the grass soldiers under the Dian King are powerful

"But after all, they are just a bunch of grass and trees."

"Some of the grass soldiers even wore rattan armor...

"What Mr. Shi means is..." The gentry immediately reacted.

"Fire attack!?"

Chapter 738 - Laozi Shudao Mountain

"Yes."

"Fire attack."

The moment Mr. Shi saw the grass soldiers, he came up with this idea.

As the saying goes, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining. To deal with plant spirits and monsters, you naturally have to use fire.

Moreover, this matter has been verified

It is said that the reason why the troops in the mountainous area of ​​eastern Sichuan were able to hold out for a while after being ambushed was because they took out kerosene in time.

A part of the army was able to escape thanks to the raging fire.

Unfortunately, the Jing army did not bring enough kerosene when marching and fighting, which led to the annihilation of the entire army.

"Everyone

Mr. Shi explained.

"My servant was resting at a farm down below a while ago."

"It happened that the bandits were plundering everywhere, arbitrarily accusing people of crimes, and extorting 99

"Just when the situation was getting dangerous, someone used kerosene and instantly drove back the bandits, who outnumbered them ten to one."

"Those bandits are extremely afraid of fire!"

“So if kerosene is used first, even the elite troops under the King of Dian will inevitably be defeated.
