Chapter 367 - 68

250  The old blind man said, "You will definitely not win if you fight head-on. When you reach the Wolf Smoke Realm, you can send messengers to dig from the side. Its tentacles on the side are not very strong."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie nodded. This was a great gift.

  It is said that: the foundation of a great cause, this is the foundation of a great cause.

  However, the old blind man said that this little Tai Sui was not that old, only about less than a thousand years old. The largest Tai Sui mine in the hands of the court, the big Earth Tai Sui, could be more than ten thousand years old.

  The entire mountain is its body. It is a real behemoth that can be used by hundreds of thousands of Daqian troops.

  Even some of the Tai Sui pills circulating in the world come from this vein.

  Moreover, this mine requires at least 20,000 Han people to sacrifice every year to support this great Tai Sui...

  After hearing this, Chen Jie said to the old blind man, "Senior, there are so many Han people every year. Don't they resist?"

  The old blind man said, "If they don't resist, why did the Zoroastrians revolt?"

  Chen Jie was silent. In fact, he had not yet opened his eyes to the world. The world he was currently exposed to was only as big as Mianshui County, and he did not know much about the outside world.

  The old blind man said, "Jiu Si, the world is not as peaceful as you think. Your Mianshui County is located in the south, where Daqian's management is lax. Therefore, your management here is different from that in the north."

  "The North is the heartland of Daqian. They came from the grasslands, occupied the Song Dynasty, and seized land. If the Han people resisted, they would kill them. Seven or eight out of ten Han people in the North are slaves of the Mulan people. They have the power of life and death."

  "Mulan is a beast who likes to have sex with other people's wives and daughters. He treats people like animals. The men are tied to the stables every day, and the women have sex without covering their bodies every day. The wives and daughters are in pain and wailing in the tent, but the men are tied to the door like dogs, listening to their wives and daughters being humiliated."

  "Jiu Si, I saw all this with my own eyes."

  "Moreover, every year the imperial court would randomly select some Han people from the north and arrest them on trumped-up charges, saying they were sent to work in the mines. Many of them were directly fed to the Tai Sui, using human blood to sacrifice to the Tai Sui. It was extremely cruel. Among them were children as young as six or seven years old. I saw that scene once and I will never forget it."

  "The Han people in the south, especially in Hubei Road, have Wudang Mountain in charge, where Zhang Zhenren is, so the Mulan people have become much more restrained. Therefore, a conciliatory policy has been adopted, which has resulted in more taxes and a harder life for the people in the south, which is incomparable to the north."

  "Compared to the Han people in the north, the Han people in the south are simply living in paradise!"

  The old blind man paused here, and then said: "This is also the reason why I cut off my eyes to seek the secret of heaven."

  "The Han people in the north are almost hopeless. In a few years, Daqian will find that the taxes from the north are not enough and will start to slowly exploit the Han people in the south. By then, the Han people in the south will become like the Han people in the north."

  "Jiu Si, you can imagine that you are a small landowner, and you are living a good life now. You have a hundred acres of fertile land, a beautiful wife and concubines, and two sons and daughters. Suddenly one day, the court issued an order that the land should be returned to Qian, and the nobles of Mulan came on horseback to grab the land."

  "At that time, your family's hundreds of acres of fertile land were taken away, and your house was robbed. You thought that losing your money would save your life."

  "But the Mulan people just tied you up with dog chains. If you resist, they will beat you severely. It's torture, making you work like a dog. If they don't like you, they will beat and scold you, or even kill you."

  "And a fat, big-eared old man from the Mulan tribe fell in love with your wife. He tore off her clothes in front of you and pressed her to the ground. Your wife looked at you and screamed in agony."

  "You cried and screamed, and you struggled like crazy to save your wife."

  "But I didn't expect that four Mulan guards would come and kick you down, and then force you to look at Master Mulan and humiliate your wife."

  "Your heart-wrenching cries were their aphrodisiac. Seeing you crying so hard, they laughed out loud. After playing for a while, they felt unsatisfied and pulled your five-year-old daughter over..."

  …

  "That's enough!"

  Chen Jie's eyes were red, he had already decided to fight to the death, he couldn't listen any longer.

  The old blind man said, "There are even more beastly things. I have seen them all with my own eyes. By the way, the incident I just mentioned happened in the home of my friend, whose name is Han Shantong!"

  "Han Shantong!"

  Chen Jie stared at the old blind man with wide eyes. This name was familiar to him.

  "Yes, the current leader of the Zoroastrianism, known as Acalanatha, Han Shantong!"

  "That incident just happened to him. The small landlord was his father, and the ones who were abused were his mother and sister. He was lucky to be saved by an old Zoroastrian leader who passed by."

  "That is why he would do whatever it takes to resist Daqian in the north."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie fell silent.

  The old blind man said, "Don't think that these things that happened in the north can't happen in the south. The Daqian court is full of treacherous officials. Their ideas are not of our race, and their hearts must be different. They will kill all the Han people and treat them like pigs and dogs."

  "If we don't resist, we will die in silence."

  "You may say that the present situation in the North may not be the future of the South. You may say that you have military power and will not let the Mulan people bully you like this. But when you see the Han people who share the same blood with you being treated like pigs and dogs, can you remain indifferent?"

  "Besides, you know martial arts, and there are many experts among the Mulan people. If the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?"

  The old blind man said to Chen Jie.

  After this period of time, he found that the anti-Qian consciousness in the south was not strong. The reason was that Daqian implemented a conciliatory policy in the south and even handed over local power to local gangs.

  Therefore, many things were handled by gangs, and conflicts became conflicts among the Han people.

  If it had always been like this, it would have been fine, but the situation of the Han people in the north is getting worse. There, it is not the gangs that have the final say, but the Mulan people themselves.

  Therefore, 70% of the Han people in the north were slaves of the Mulan people.

  Slaves have no human rights. If they play with your wife, you have to cheer them on. If they don't like you, they can kill you.

  Moreover, the Han people in the north were not allowed to run.

  If they were caught, they would be taken back and tied to a horse's tail and dragged to death. I heard that people who were dragged to death by horses would have all their skin and flesh gone off their bodies, with only bones left, their internal organs spilling all over the ground, and they would die miserably~!

  These policies were implemented with the rise of Prime Minister Bayan.

  The high-ranking officials of Mulan in the court proposed two key policies, the first of which was de-Sinicization!

  As Han scholars gradually became more open-minded in recent years, they could first become slaves of the Mulan tribe, then take part in the Han imperial examinations, and finally become officials.

  For example, the magistrate of Mianshui County rose to his position in this way.

  This would not work. As soon as Prime Minister Bayan came to power, he decided to cancel the channel for Han people to become officials. His slogan was "How can Han people be allowed to become officials in Daqian?"

  This call immediately made the high-ranking officials of the court, Mulan, agree with it.

  After all, every family has a few good-for-nothing sons and daughters, and the Han people who became officials have excluded all these people. If the Han people's path is blocked now, those good-for-nothings in their families will be able to come to power.

  Second: The policy of south-northwardization!

  Since most of the Mulan nobles gathered in the north, although some Mulan people moved to the south, their numbers were not large and they only had privileges, but there was no hearty robbery - land grabbing!

  However, due to the long period of peace and the love of reproduction, the number of pastoral nobles in the north increased rapidly. With so many people, there was not enough land to go around, and there were not enough slaves.

  What to do? The south has not been developed yet.

  If there was a land grab in the South, wouldn't everyone have land, slaves, and women?

  What, afraid of provoking civil unrest?

  There's nothing to be afraid of. The Han people were beaten into fleeing in fear and begging for mercy a hundred years ago. Now they have been suppressed for another hundred years. If they dare to show their heads, they will be killed.

  As for those who want to rebel, why don't they grab land and then stop rebelling?

  The Zoroastrianism is growing stronger day by day, and these Han dogs will join it sooner or later. It is better to rob and suppress them now to let them know the powerful military force of Daqian!

  As soon as Prime Minister Bayan put forward this condition.

  All the civil and military officials in the court agreed. Mulan's group of masters were even more screaming, remembering the good life of snatching land, money, and women. They had had enough of their female slaves. They heard that southern women were very gentle and affectionate. If they caught them, they would definitely have a good taste of them!

  But there are two people who disagree on this matter.

  One is the emperor of the time, Emperor Qianshun: Toghon Temur!

  The other is the deputy prime minister, the minister of state of Daqian, Tuotuo!

  Because of the two's insistence, this matter is still in the research stage and has not been implemented.

  But everyone in the world knows that when Mulan people have such an idea, then this thing is basically equivalent to being implemented. After all, even if they are lucky this time and it is not implemented, what about next time?

  Who dares to entrust his life to the kindness of his enemy?

  Moreover, according to the predictions of the old blind man using the Tuibei Tu to predict the celestial phenomena, in the next few years, Daqian will suffer constant natural disasters, which is a sign of great chaos.

  When the court's harvest decreases, do you think the Mulan people will take the initiative to reduce their expenses and live a less extravagant life, or find ways to make the Han people suffer more?

  Add taxes.

  The Han people were already hungry, and a year's food supply was barely enough to sustain a family of five.

  Why do the Han people need so many? Even if one person starves to death, it's enough for them to support a family of four.

  I think sir, it's enough to support a family of three. Four is a bit too much. What do you think?

  Yes, add 40% tax, 10% to the court, and the remaining 30% to my house...

  This is the true portrayal of Mulan officials in various places.

  After listening to the old blind man's story, Chen Jie finally understood what the world was like. He also knew that the reason why people in the South could still make a living was because the policy had not yet been implemented.

  Wait until the imperial court really issues the policy of converting the southern land into the northern land.

  Then the South would be a living hell.

  As for rebellion?

  Haha, the great Daqian will not lose. The noble Mulan tribe used to have a smaller population than it does now, but didn't they still conquer the Han people?

  It was a mistake for Taizu to listen to Yelu Chucai's nonsense and be soft on the Han people. If he had implemented the policy of northernization towards the South back then, he would not have had to wait until now.

  Therefore, with the approval of all the high-ranking officials of the Mulan tribe in the court.

  The policy of south-northwardization has become a kind of political correctness.

  We, the Mulan people, are superior to others. We are the people of Changshengtian. The rest of the ethnic groups are inferior and must submit to our teachings, provide for us, and serve as our slaves.

  Only this young emperor, Emperor Qianshun, had some brains.

  The Prime Minister Tuotuo also knew that it was very dangerous to radicalize the Han people, and he tried his best to persuade them.

  However, when the entire Mulan officialdom felt that this was the right thing to do, the emperor and a prime minister could not stop it.

  Coupled with the constant natural disasters, the world is destined to be in chaos in the future.

  When the world is in chaos, the people suffer the most.

  The old blind man couldn't bear to see the world in such misery, so he cut off his own eyes in order to find someone who could bring peace to the world.

  In addition to him, many people are looking for such a person, and some people even think that they are such a person.

  The old blind man told Chen Jie about these major events in the world. Only then did Chen Jie realize what the situation was like in the world. He was only a minority of people living a good life, while many Han people were suffering.

  Moreover, today's good days may not last long, because if that day really comes and the south is divided into the north, the south will become a battlefield.

  What we need to do is to strengthen ourselves before this policy is implemented, and at least have the ability to protect ourselves.

  Although I may not have the ambition to pacify the world, but in this world, if I want to protect the people I want to protect, I must have enough power, martial arts strength, and forces under my command, not a single one can be missing!
