They only earn a few hundred coins a month.
Yes, even if they do the work, they don't get paid much.
At best, they can barely make ends meet, and they still have to find their own ways to work.
They had only one thought: to save their lives.
And this capital city is located in the middle of the entire basin.
If the capital cannot quickly suppress rebellions in various places, then the capital's militia will lose its deterrent power.
More and more people started to rebel from all sides.
The first to rebel were the nomads who were forced to migrate to the desert.
Actually, they were originally plains people, agricultural people.
They are from the basin.
They became desert nomads entirely because they could not survive in the basin and were forced to migrate to the mountains.
In the mountains, they were driven away and could only go to the surrounding desert.
The surrounding desert is dotted with occasional oases thanks to the occasional moisture.
They survived by relying on these oases, as well as raiding and caravans.
How did merchants travel?
The real purpose was to avoid various checkpoints and bypass the desert.
The entire basin is surrounded by desert.
Their caravans set off from the basin, crossed the mountains, and entered the desert.
Then we drove in circles through the desert.
There's no way to build checkpoints in the desert.
This is yet another real-life example of how oppressive government can be more ferocious than a tiger.
To avoid those heavy taxes, they preferred to cross the desert, taking great risks.
For example, a strong storm, or quicksand.
The entire caravan could lose everything.
Or perhaps they simply die in the desert.
Even so, there is still a great deal of profit to be made.
After all, there are too many checkpoints set up along the way.
Goods worth one or two taels of silver can be turned upside down tenfold by passing through numerous checkpoints, yet still result in a loss.
Even if the price of goods increases tenfold, how many people can they be sold to?
Therefore, long-distance trafficking requires deep connections, and even then, money must be shared with the local tyrants.
Otherwise, things won't be easy.
In this situation, ordinary vendors simply cannot withstand it.
In order to make money and make a living, those merchants built trade routes around the desert.
This is what is known as desert merchant travel.
In conclusion, these desert merchants have now accumulated considerable strength.
Seeing the chaos in the dynasty, they immediately took action themselves.
They established themselves in small border towns, then medium-sized cities, and then large cities.
They gradually formed a considerable force.
In Wenren Sheng's view, four major forces had formed within the entire dynasty.
One was the original old dynasty, and the other was a border desert power.
The third is the various rebellious and displaced people forces.
There is also a hidden fourth party, which is actually the party with the greatest potential: the powerful families and clans in various regions, and the agents they have chosen.
Of course, the fourth party is scattered and does not form a group.
It has a strong regional character.
The aristocratic families of the North and the South are completely different, and it is difficult for the two to cooperate.
These four forces began to develop dynamically.
Wenren Sheng's side now naturally belongs to the rebel forces.
No one knew that their side had the greatest potential.
……
at the same time.
In the faction that Wen Rensheng belonged to, the young man who rose to power, after winning over enough children who had received modern education, pretended to cooperate with the local powerful families.
He arranged a marriage with a prominent local family surnamed Ma, marrying their daughter and becoming a son-in-law who moved into their family home.
Of course, this is just a hoax.
In reality, he just wanted to use a shell company.
Sure enough, he quickly established a local militia.
With the help of the Ma family's influence, he established himself in control of the local county town.
Even the county magistrate had to listen to him.
Otherwise, you'll fall into the water.
If the emperor can suffer such a fate, why can't you?
The story of the county magistrate who exterminated his entire family refers to a prosperous era.
These are chaotic times; it's easy to get killed.
Of course, there are also times when county magistrates, unable to see the bigger picture, still take the opportunity to amass wealth.
That was a county magistrate who still had control over the local city.
But here, it's clearly not.
The county magistrate was afraid of trouble, so he pretended not to see it.
Let the other side protect their homes and people.
His goal was simple: to just get by and live day to day.
It's best to make enough money quickly before running away.
As for where he ran off to, even the county magistrate couldn't figure it out.
After all, the outside world is a vast desert.
The only way is to run south, following the oasis where the rain falls, to the seaside to take a boat out to sea.
But the chances are too small.
They were captured by bandits halfway there.
In this way, the upper echelon formed a solid base.
His idea was very clever.
To develop in a subservient manner.
Modify weapons and stockpile food supplies.
He waited until everyone else had finished before setting off.
His goal was to eliminate the local powerful families, seize the land, and take power for himself.
He used land to buy off those who followed him and his men.
He really wanted to laugh at the schoolteacher.
The other party only knows how to shout a few words from up there. On the surface, everyone seems to listen to him, but in reality, they are listening to themselves.
That's his opinion.
He believed that everyone else was just going through the motions, like him.
After all, this team was nominally started by the schoolteacher.
In reality, however, he personally trained soldiers and even manufactured modern weapons—firearms.
Yes, he improved firearms.
Especially hand grenades, landmines, and rockets.
That is, rockets.
He did not build any real firearms.
Because it's too slow.
The technology isn't there yet.
The main problem is that the barrel is too slow; it requires good iron and needs to be drilled slowly.
And it's easy for something to go wrong.
It's also easy for others to copy it.
He then manufactured cannons and grenades.
This is a great tool for breaking through dense arrays.
Once the formation is broken, any team is doomed to be wiped out.
He kept a low profile to avoid being attacked prematurely.
In this way, time passed day by day.
All the forces in power are becoming increasingly powerful.
It must be said that he has a knack for winning people over.
Only Wenren Sheng and a few others could see through the ruthlessness of the man who had risen to power.
Anyone who challenges his authority, unless they are his own son, must be eliminated.
Show no mercy.
this day.
The person in charge has finally managed to establish enough influence.
After making some preparations, he decided to set off.
The first target was to take down Old Zhang, who was entrenched in the Jiangnan region and lived nearby.
Because the territory occupied by Lao Zhang was the place with the most abundant and plentiful grain, a place where he could be self-sufficient.
He led a force of 3000 men, equipped with new armor made using wind and water power, and carried 10,000 grenades as he charged forward.
Three thousand elite soldiers are already quite formidable.
It should be noted that even when Li Shimin conquered the world, he only had a little over 2000 men.
He then led three thousand men to immediately attack Zhang's first city.
This is one of Lao Zhang's core cities.
Primarily responsible for logistics and supplies.
This is the city that Lao Zhang lived in before he started his business.
Therefore, Lao Zhang sent a full 5 men to defend the area.
When they stood on the city wall and saw that there were only three thousand people on the other side, they burst into laughter.
They assumed they would be able to successfully defend.
At this moment, the adjutant said, "General, we outnumber them."
"If that's the case, why bother defending the city to the death?"
"That's right, sir. What should we do?"
"Why don't we launch a simultaneous attack from all four gates, surround him, and annihilate him in one fell swoop?"
"That way we can report the good news to Chief Zhang in time." So they really did leave the city.
They abandoned the fortified city and sent out 40,000 men in one go.
Only 10,000 men were left to defend the city.
That's not bad.
He went up.
He made contact with the enemy.
He typed "gg".
Under the bombardment of more than 1 grenades, their dense formation was quickly broken.
Three thousand men broke through their defenses.
Attack back and forth.
This left them completely unable to resist.
In the end, more than 4 of the 1 people died.
The rest were all captured and taken prisoner.
The defenders on the city wall, who witnessed all of this, were immediately terrified and fled.
This gave the opponent a huge boost.
This person in charge is truly beyond reproach in terms of military capabilities.
After the first battle was quickly over, the second battle followed.
Within a month, he fought seven major battles and captured a city.
The army also began to expand rapidly.
He appointed his men as generals, one after another, to command cities and launch attacks in all directions.
He was responsible for providing ammunition and provisions.
He's smart; he knows what's crucial.
At this time, Zhao Qing found Wenren Sheng.
She asked worriedly, "Look how powerful that guy is getting."
"And he even asked me privately if he was going to rebel against you in the future."
"You're the one who built this team up."
"You asked me to teach you that knowledge too."
"Now he's using that knowledge to start a rebellion."
"It's easy to imagine that he would kill you once he succeeds."
"Aren't you worried?"
Wenren Sheng smiled and said, "What do I have to worry about?"
"You'll know then."
Would Wenren Sheng worry about a native who has acquired modern knowledge? That's utterly ridiculous.
This place was merely a testing ground for him.
This is the information gap.
When someone thinks they have everything under control, they don't realize that everything they have is arranged by others.
In reality, he had no control over anything.
And so, the one who "rose to power" wiped out Old Zhang in just three months.
Old Zhang was caught and brought back to the mountain.
They were placed in front of Wenren Sheng, supposedly to present the captives and report the good news to him.
Old Zhang wept bitterly in the mountains, crying, "It's impossible! Why does God protect you but not me?"
"I am clearly stronger than you."
Wenren Sheng waved for someone to take him to see the windmills, waterwheels, and manufacturing plants.
After seeing this, Lao Zhang realized that the other party was actually more powerful.
He stopped talking.
Wen Rensheng did not kill him, but arranged for him to stay nearby.
After all, Old Zhang was still very kind to the people.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge was quite disdainful.
At the same time, he felt that he had damaged the prestige of the schoolteacher.
This rebel army should be led by themselves now.
After he occupied the Jiangnan region, he went on to reclaim those desert forces.
He wants to bring the surrounding desert forces under his control.
This establishes a strategic advantage on the periphery.
It can be used for both offense and defense.
He relied on the grain from Jiangnan to open up the roads.
He first subdued two or three small desert forces, and then went on to attack the larger ones.
Those men used camel riders to attack him.
However, camels also need to eat, because food is inevitably scarce in the desert.
Therefore, they can only drive a limited number of camels at a time.
They only had a little over 1000 camel riders.
The superiors had more soldiers, more horses, and grenades to fight the camels.
Therefore, he easily won again.
Some people started to imitate his grenades, but it was too slow.
And so, with the force of a raging storm, he conquered the entire world.
The entire process took only three years.
It was much faster than Liu Bang's.
After conquering the entire world, on this day, the ruler said to one of his trusted confidants:
"Big Tiger, we hereby bestow upon you the title of Tiger Might General."
"However, you have something to do."
"Please invite our gentleman here."
"Let's say that the world is now settled, and we should invite him to be the emperor."
Da Hu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "Your Majesty. You should be the emperor, why should we give it to that gentleman?"
The person in charge was immediately pleased to hear this.
He was very satisfied with Da Hu's attitude.
“That’s not right. After all, he was the one who raised the rebel army, and he was the one who had people teach us the divine script.”
"But why should he be the one to build the empire you worked so hard to build?"
"Stop talking. No matter what, he is the leader of the rebels."
"Without him, this team wouldn't exist."
"Also, go and invite our teacher over. I want to appoint her as the Imperial Advisor."
"Okay, take over."
Da Hu left looking unhappy.
Then someone found him and said a few words.
Da Hu looked surprised, then angry, then helpless, and finally resolute.
"I only hope that after I die, my brother can inherit everything I have."
Afterwards, Da Hu led his personal guards up the mountain and met Wen Rensheng.
After bowing, he said, "The Emperor invites you to become the Emperor."
Wenren Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, at least he still has some filial piety. Let's go now."
“Indeed, it is time for me to be the emperor.”
Big Tiger was stunned.
Zhao Qing was also stunned.
"You just went because someone told you to?"
The next moment, she noticed the tiger's eyes widen in surprise, and then it said:
"Yes, that's right, sir, you are the leader of the rebel army."
"You were the one who first built this team, and you were also the one who saved him from taking over."
"Of course he will give the throne to you."
That's right, the "brain-degrading" aura has evolved once again.
As time went on, even ordinary, intelligent people like him would bow down in reverence after hearing this.
It was comparable to the Three Kingdoms period in its early years.
The famous figures and generals believed the protagonist's words immediately.
Since Da Hu trusted Wenren Sheng so much, his journey was naturally safe.
They quickly made their way here.
I traveled from city to city.
One city after another was conquered by the ruler, and they all secretly submitted to him.
At this moment, those in power have no idea what has happened.
He was just wondering why, after passing through city after city, there had been no reports of anyone falling into the water.
They clearly traveled a route that included crossing many rivers.
Another month has passed.
There has been no news of someone falling into the water yet.
He waited anxiously.
Until this day, Wenren Sheng brought Zhao Qing to the largest city.
The former royals have been arrested and are being treated well, just waiting to be killed when they are no longer needed.
Wenren Sheng looked around at the big city.
He followed the tiger to the palace.
He looked at everyone and said, "Not bad, you've done a very good job taking over."
"It wasn't in vain that I put so much effort into training you."
The person in charge gave a forced smile.
He was furious.
These men didn't kill him beforehand.
What to do now?
He could not possibly relinquish the throne.
And at this time.
His men, however, said one by one:
"Now that the world is at peace, you should be the emperor, sir."
"Yes, without you, sir, we would have starved to death long ago."
“That’s right, the gentleman should be the one to take the position.”
