Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

Not a maid? What kind of apprentice? The villagers looked at each other and began to whisper, all of which were speculations about Jiang Han's identity.

"Then I believe that many people are curious about what I do and why I accepted Zhao Nier as my apprentice. Before answering this question..."

Jiang Han paused for a moment, letting everyone focus their attention on himself.

"Because I haven't been to the world for a long time, I am very dirty in this world. Please allow me to change my clothes first."

As he spoke, Jiang Han snapped his fingers, and the cotton gown on his body instantly turned into a commander's coat.

This move instantly frightened the villagers. They took a step back and talked to each other.

"Spells? Cantrips?"

"Fairy? Monster?"

"Erzhu's family, you have been into the city, did you see it?"

"How can I tell? Magicians are covered with cloth. They are not like this master who can change clothes with just a flick of his fingers."

"Oops, I almost forgot about you two."

Jiang Han exaggerated his surprise, patted his head in an artificial manner, and then tapped his fingers lightly, and M4A1 and 45's clothes instantly changed from ordinary ancient costumes to their original outfits.

Now the villagers were even more surprised. Changing oneself was already outrageous, and changing into other people's clothes through teleportation was really unbelievable. Especially, the huge box on the woman's back could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried. It must be the trick of immortals, this was 100% the trick of immortals!

"I am the eldest disciple of Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun. This time, the heaven and earth are experiencing a great catastrophe, so I transformed myself and came to other people's homes to observe the situation and save them from the catastrophe. When I passed by this village, I happened to see a girl named Zhao here. She has a unique fate and excellent bones, so I intend to take her in as my disciple and let her practice with me."

"ah!!?"

Jiang Han's words shocked everyone present. The villagers had never been to school, let alone studied Taoist gods. All they knew were gods like the Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva. It would be better to say that they usually did not worship these gods at all. They worshiped more guardian gods like the Kitchen God, the Well God, the Door God, and the Zhongliu God, which could affect all aspects of life. As for who this Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun was, they were completely stunned. But he sounded very powerful, but that was not the point. The point was that the noble man was actually a god! ! ?

Moreover, he wanted to take Zhao Nier as his concubine! ?

In the late Ming Dynasty, because of Emperor Jiajing, the people actually had a good understanding of Shintoism, but they could never have imagined that there would actually be immortals descending to earth?

The huge amount of information makes it almost difficult for people to think.

Jiang Han took a look at everyone's reactions and knew that it was time to proceed to the next step. He winked at 45 on the side, and 45 nodded in response and gently pressed a button hidden in his palm.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from a courtyard not far away. Then, several big pigs rushed out of the courtyard and started to rampage towards the crowd. The scene instantly became extremely chaotic.

Pigs in ancient times had not yet been improved to the level of later breeds, and the fangs on their mouths were still there. The damage caused by a nudge from one of them was very serious. If someone was nudge by one of them, even if they did not die on the spot, in an environment with such poor medical conditions, they would lose half their life if they did not die.

"Don't panic, hide behind me, remember to close your eyes and cover your ears"

Jiang Han's loud shouts made the villagers, who were like headless flies, instantly find their backbone, and they all ran to Jiang Han's back. However, in the panic, some people still did not follow Jiang Han's instructions and closed their eyes and covered their ears.

Where did this pig come from? Of course it came from a villager's home. Jiang Han instructed 45 to quietly install an explosive device on the pigpen door and put two small firecrackers behind the pig's butt. When the button was pressed, it exploded instantly.

The pigs were sleeping soundly, but suddenly the door disappeared and their butts were blown up. Their biological instincts made them start running in all directions, and when they saw the crowd that was even more panicked than them, they had a stress response and automatically started attacking.

Looking at the big black pig charging towards him, Jiang Han quietly turned on the loudspeaker he had hidden in the commander's coat.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transformed into divine thunder, with magnificent heavenly power, guided by the sword, go!"

After muttering a few words, Jiang Han pointed forward, posed, and immediately summoned the commander's head protection equipment.

The M4A1 on the side was quick-witted and quick-handed. He threw the flashbang in his hand, and the grenade mounted under the gun was activated. There was a loud bang and a white light, and the big pig was split apart on the spot.

The rest of the pigs were also shocked and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and it was obvious that they were dying.

"Well...it went well."

After removing the head protection, Jiang Han nodded and looked back at the villagers behind him.

"My eyes, my eyes!!"

"Hey, hey, why can't I hear you?"

The even more chaotic current situation gave Jiang Han a lot of confidence in his subsequent performance, and the second step was considered a complete success!

Volume 42: Chapter Chapter : Fooling, and Fooling Again

Flashbang, also known as blinding bomb, dazzling bomb, or flash stun bomb, is a non-lethal weapon. Take the M4 flashbang thrown by the M1A84 as an example.

When the M84 explodes, it will produce about 170-180 decibels of noise and about one million candela of strong light. What do these two data mean? In the absence of protection, an M84 explosion at close range is enough to cause permanent blindness and deafness.

The consequence of a flash bomb exploding in front of you is that you will hear a buzzing sound in your ears and suffer temporary deafness, and at the same time a huge bright spot will appear in front of your eyes, which will last for several hours or even a day.

The good thing is that they are now outdoors, and since the energy is dispersed in large quantities, the effect is greatly reduced. Before taking action, Jiang Han is 100% sure that there will be people who will not listen to his advice and will not take protective measures. There will always be creatures on the earth who dare to face the power of thunder. It's just thunder, and I have seen it before. I want to see what this person is up to.

There are many people who hold this idea. For such people, Jiang Han naturally doesn't mind giving them a little lesson as long as it doesn't cause permanent damage.

The scene was in a mess, with people and horses falling to the ground. Mr. Pig, who was hit first, was blown into eight pieces, with his butt hanging on a tree like a master. There was a small charred pit at the center of the explosion. The other piglets around were also killed or knocked unconscious. Some of the villagers shouted in pain, while others groaned. After all, the power of thunder is not so easy to deal with.

This is also in line with the impression of thunder in the minds of most ordinary people: strong flash, huge noise, and extremely high damage. The only one who gets hurt is the pig.

"My pig!!!!"

Oh, and those pig holders.

All the pigs in his pen were killed or torn to pieces by lightning. The villager's heart was broken into pieces just like his pigs. Now, not only were his pigs gone, but all his fortune was gone too. He had originally hoped to rely on these pigs to survive until the pigs gave birth to piglets, the piglets grew up, the old pigs were sold, and the piglets gave birth to piglets again, in a positive cycle that would allow him to survive. But now, everything was over.

The villagers were filled with despair.

"Don't panic. Since I am the one who took action on this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Jiang Han adjusted his expression and started his performance again.

He first walked towards the torn into pieces Mr. Pig, waved his hand, and silently chanted a sacrifice in his heart. The body of Mr. Pig disappeared on the spot, shocking everyone present.

Then he turned his hand, and a silver ingot appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"Even if there is a loss, they should pay compensation. I see that this item is often used in transactions in the mortal world. They can use this item to buy all the pork. Is that feasible?"

"Great! That's great!"

The villager nodded his head as if he had installed some kind of motor. Although his pigs were expensive, the silver ingots in front of him were much more valuable! It was enough for him to buy all the pigs and double the money, and still be rich. Only a fool would not agree to such a deal!

Right, right, right, right, it's so right! The other people had envy on their faces. No wonder he didn't even blink when buying things in the village. He was a god, and all he had to do was change the money. Oh, why didn't the problem happen in his own pigpen? If it happened in his own family, would he still have the chance to have such a good thing?

Well, my family is too poor to raise pigs, that’s okay.

After all this trouble, Jiang Han's identity as a god was completely confirmed. What, who still doesn't believe it? Many people over there couldn't open their eyes until now. Mr. Pig's body was still warm, but no one wanted to try out such power.

"My Lord, please save us! After years of drought, it has rained heavily for days. We cannot plant in the spring and we cannot survive. Please, please make the rain stop!"

You see, the people in the country are quite pragmatic. The main reason for worshipping gods is that these gods can help them with farming. No matter what kind of gods they are, if they are beneficial to farming, they are good gods. If they don’t help, then you are a lewd temple!

After Jiang Han revealed his identity, the villagers immediately began to pray simply, hoping that Jiang Han would help them solve the problem of heavy rain for several days.

How would Jiang Han know how to stop the rain? The later practice was to use cannons to disperse rain clouds and release chemical powders into the air to prevent them from gathering to achieve the purpose of artificially stopping the rain, but where did Jiang Han get the cannon?

Using the Jupiter Cannon to shoot at rain clouds? That's too unreal. However, although it can't stop the rain, it can fool people!

"I am the Lord of Thunder, in charge of catching demons and exorcising evil spirits. Praying for rain is not my forte..."

Jiang Han shook his head slowly and whispered that he would not stop the rain. Gods also have division of labor, so it is normal that they cannot pray for rain.

"Aren't you the God of Thunder? You should be very familiar with the God of Wind and Rain. Tell them to stop raining. I've seen plays played out that way."

The clever little villagers came up with another idea.

Tsk, it’s really hard to fool him. I have no choice but to use that trick.

Jiang Han decided to use the ultimate trick he had prepared for the last time: This time, watch me become a land immortal again, come on!

"In fact, there is another reason for this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth."

Jiang Han's words caught everyone's attention. In this era when farmers' harvests are basically entirely dependent on God's will, the weather is of concern to everyone. What happened in recent years? Why is it so difficult? This is a question that every villager is very concerned about.

"The human dynasty has been in chaos for many generations, and the current emperor is completely incompetent. He has appointed treacherous people and imposed heavy taxes. As a result, the heaven and earth have been furious, and they have sent down a catastrophe out of anger. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and it is not something that a god like me can change."

Jiang Han had already found the scapegoat for all this, Chongzhen!

Although he was trying to pass the buck, every word Jiang Han said was true. This Chongzhen Chong Waibo was really a scoundrel among scoundrels. He played a good hand of cards badly. The officials he brought in were only able to flatter and fawn on him and had no ability at all. The huge city of Beijing was almost turned into a rare concentration camp. During the war, I didn't listen to their desperate pleas for donations, and they even sold furniture on the street. As a result, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing and began to extort salaries, he extorted more than 70 million taels of silver from these officials!

What a scary number! This bunch of useless people get together and can't come up with any good ideas all day long. They just make trouble for the common people and collect all kinds of exorbitant taxes in various ways. Jiang Han doesn't mind giving this kind of people a hard time.

"what?!"

The villagers' faces changed color. They never expected that Jiang Han would say such a reason!

Volume 43: Chapter Chapter : It's so exciting to run away after filling the cup

There are actually many different opinions among the people about the abnormal climate of heaven and earth. Among them, there is also a similar saying that it is because the emperor has no virtue that causes heaven and earth to despise him.

In fact, it is this bunch of useless scholar-officials who are shirking responsibility. They are so happy when governing the country, saying, "Ah, let's rule the world with the scholar-officials! I also have a share in the development of the Ming Dynasty!" They wish the emperor was just a mascot who can only eat and wait for death on the dragon throne. It would be best if the whole world was handed over to them to govern.

When he was in office, he made a lot of money, and the people didn't care about their lives. He was a clean magistrate for three years and made 100,000 silver dollars. He was very rich. When things went wrong and the people mutinied, he blamed the emperor. Ah, it was all his fault! It must be because he stepped into the palace with his left foot when he went to court that made God unhappy! You can scold him if you want!

It can be said that the scholars are the epitome of shameless. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the problem of official corruption was strictly punished. Emperor 朱元璋 (Zhu Yuanzhang), a founder of the Ming Dynasty, established a channel for the common people to appeal directly to the emperor. As long as the common people reported that an official might have accepted bribes, the official would be arrested the next day regardless of the reason. If the fact of taking bribes was verified to be true, he would be transformed into Fedtik on the spot the next day, skinned and stuffed with straw, and hung on the flagpole of the yamen for people to visit.

The so-called skinning and stuffing with straw is actually a skinning punishment. The person is buried in the ground, a wound is cut on the top of the head, and mercury is poured into the wound. The mercury flows under the skin. The entire skin is peeled off completely and then straw is stuffed inside to scare away birds. It is a very cruel punishment.

But for ordinary people, it is a punishment that they welcome. Every time a scarecrow appears, it means that the terrifying whale that is harming the local area has been eradicated, which is really gratifying!

But by now, the Ming official system is on the verge of gradual collapse. Donglin and Qingliu control the government and no one can check and balance them. The so-called anti-corruption is just a joke. Even the current university scholars are making huge profits under the emperor's nose, let alone those local officials who are far away from the emperor.

The Ming Dynasty was rotten to the core, just like a person's life, which has already covered itself with a small quilt under a bridge, and all it can say is "yes, yes, yes".

The previous saying that the emperor was immoral and thus despised by heaven and earth was just a saying. Now that the immortal said so in front of him, it was confirmed that the emperor was a fool! Not only that, even the officials in the court were all a bunch of evildoers!

Haha, now they are both snakes and rats in the same nest.

In fact, the people of the Ming Dynasty have a strong sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty. If Jiang Han had dared to do such a thing before, he would have been smashed on the head with a hoe by the villagers on the spot. But now, he has proved his identity, and his Five Thunders Righteousness Method can be said to be incredibly powerful. What's more, he is not saying that the Ming Dynasty is bad, but that the emperor is bad and the treacherous ministers in the court are bad, which the people can accept more easily. Now even the gods say that there is something wrong with you, so there must be something wrong with you.

"Lord God, but now that the world hates that person, what should we do? Moreover, that river god has committed many evil things here. In our village, many girls have been killed by that river god!"

A villager asked blankly.

what?

Jiang Han was shocked. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened not only once, not twice, but several times? That means that several families have been hurt because of this ignorance. If he hadn't arrived by chance, such a thing would happen again.

And how many Ni'ers are being persecuted in places where I am not?

"It's just a wild god of an obscene temple. I have already dealt with him. As compensation, during this catastrophe, you can weave fishing nets and catch fish in the river to survive. But the little god has low magic power, so remember not to fish too much, otherwise it will be difficult to sustain."

The villagers were extremely surprised. Jiang Han's words opened a whole new door for them. Yes, the river god was punished by the immortal. Wouldn't they be able to catch the fish in the river? Wouldn't the shrimp soldiers and crab generals become their meals? What is a way to survive? This is the way to survive!

"I broke the Dharma body of the river god, and the divine power is now infused in it. The mud in the river can be used to grow crops, the fish in the river can be used to satisfy hunger, and the insects in the fields can be used to feed the fish. This cycle continues. If used properly, there will be no problem with food and clothing."

This is nothing more than the most common concept of ecological farms in later generations, but the farmers at this moment were very intoxicated by it. The thing about divine power was pure bragging. The mud at the bottom of the river was already very rich in nutrients due to the decay of a large number of corpses. It also nurtured a large number of fish and shrimps, and the accumulation of fish and shrimp feces made the mud at the bottom of the river naturally nutritious. Compared with the land fertilized with wood ash, it was full of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and it was perfect for farming. It had nothing to do with divine power.

In this ignorant age, any knowledge that can keep people alive is a secret that no one wants to miss.

"Also, there is one more thing"

Jiang Han spoke as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Please give me your instructions, Immortal."

At this moment, the villagers can be said to be convinced by Jiang Han.

"I came to the world this time because of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth will undergo a great change, and this vision is also a part of it. However, walking in the world and seeing so many sufferings, I couldn't bear it, so I read a fortune for all living beings."

"Within two years, there will be another disaster in the north!"

There is another disaster!? The villagers are all confused. They have never heard of such a disaster following another one. There was drought, locusts, heavy snow, and floods. What is it this time?

"May I ask what kind of disaster it is?"

"The secret must not be revealed..."

Jiang Han shook his head and said slowly, "I can only tell you, be careful of the rats."

Yes, in another one or two years, a severe plague will sweep across the entire area north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River. All parts of the Central Plains will be severely affected, with countless casualties. Originally, according to domestic medical and health conditions, the plague could have been controlled, but unfortunately, this was the late Ming Dynasty.

Society is collapsing, order has fallen, and supplies are scarce. In this day and age, who can afford to see a doctor or take a bath?

A large number of refugees gathered outside the big cities, and the sanitary conditions were poor. Such an environment was simply a natural breeding ground for infectious diseases. Even if there was no plague, there would be large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases such as fowl plague, rabies, and viral colds. The key is not the result, but the conditions.

But Jiang Han was powerless to do anything about it, and even had to hide his predictions about it. His power was too weak now, so this time, he had to go to Jiangnan to find the last brick for his journey to change China.

"You can spread the word as much as you want. Don't let rats move around in the house. You can kill as many as you want, but try to eat less of their meat. Remember, remember."

Eating half-cooked rat meat was also one of the ways the plague spread on a large scale. Who would have known that in just one or two years, the price of rat meat in the major cities of the Ming Dynasty would soar to 40 wen! Later, in an even more cruel period, in the big cities, a certain kind of unspeakable meat cost 60 to 80 wen. Even the price of this kind of meat became expensive. It can be seen that the people of the Ming Dynasty were really dead and there was no one to see.

Jiang Han also wanted these villagers to pass on the message as much as possible. If they could save as many people as possible, their words might not matter much, but they could start with this small thing and slowly bring about change.

“Time is running out...”

Jiang Han sighed slightly, it was time to leave. If he continued to act, he would be exposed. Jiang Han gave a look, and 45 quietly turned his hands behind his back and pulled out a can of smoke bomb.
