Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Heaven's Wrath and Human Resentment!
"Using witchcraft to cause a plague? In terms of means, although it is feasible, is it too immoral?"
"Yes! If the plague spreads steadily among the imperial army, it would be fine, but if one person is not careful and spreads to other places, it will cost millions of lives!
How big of a sin is this? If the founders had known about it, I’m afraid they would all have to live in anger!”
"Yes! I firmly disagree. When we rebelled together, we just wanted to use the power of other countries to pass on the essence of our sect!
However, once that kind of plague is created, corpses will be everywhere! How can such a thing be done?"
Everyone showed unusual indignation over this matter, and they all opposed it.
Ask yourself, although they usually use various means to collect wealth from the people, and of course they have killed people, but despite this, they have never thought of creating a plague.
This is crazy!
That’s a plague!
Once it spreads, its momentum will be uncontrollable, and countless people will die because of it. This is a huge sin, and the soul will definitely be sent to the eighteenth level of hell after death.
Hearing their objections, Miao Cheng was not angry at all. He took a leisurely sip of tea, then stood up slowly, walked in the lobby, and said slowly:
"I understand your concerns, but now that the matter has come to this, do we have any other options? Since we have already chosen the path of rebellion, why not go all the way to the dark side?
I heard from my subordinates that the wise emperor Zhao Changqing has arrived in Fucheng. If this plague can kill him, our rebellion may be successful!
Moreover, once the plague is out of control, we can also say to the outside world that the emperor acted rebelliously, causing the wrath of heaven to descend, sending the plague, and causing suffering to all people. At that time, we will be the party with the most righteousness."
Even though he has made it so clear, there are still quite a few people who are unwilling to agree. This is really crazy!
So many people are going to die because of selfishness?
These are things I never dared to think about.
A war may result in hundreds of thousands of casualties.
But if a plague spreads, and it is the most virulent, ferocious and uncontrollable plague, it is likely to kill millions of people.
How big of a heart does a person have to endure such a fate?
Aren’t you afraid of unknown circumstances in your later years?
Seeing that there were still some people who were not persuaded by him, Miao Cheng spoke again: "You might as well think about it, in front of Wang Tu's hegemony, what does the life and death of a mere untouchable mean?
Moreover, this is not what the old man means, but what the great wizard means. If you offend the great wizard, I think everyone knows what you will face, right?"
All of them, after hearing the words 'Great Wizard', couldn't help but tremble all over. Then, someone immediately expressed their stance,
"Okay, since it is the intention of the great wizard, then I will not hesitate to bear the lives of millions of people. For this plague, I am willing to provide all the poison techniques in my sect.
Miao Lao’s reference!”
When he expressed his stance, they did not dare to delay and expressed their stance one after another.
"Okay, we are willing to work with Mr. Miao to develop the plague!"
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. Mr. Miao, when will the plague be developed?"
"..."
Miao Cheng smiled happily when he saw the scene in front of him.
A few days later.
Fucheng.
Wang Qiang was rubbing Zhao Changqing's shoulders. It had been many days since he arrived here, and he couldn't think of any sexual pleasures between men and women, simply because the matter of rebelling against the bandits gave him too much of a headache.
When I tried my best to earn mediocre points in the past, I didn’t have such a headache!
Xiao Yuming entered the palace and saw His Majesty closing his eyes and concentrating with a look of enjoyment on his face. He did not dare to say anything and bowed slightly.
Seeing this, Wang Qiang wanted to retreat aside.
Zhao Changqing said at this time: "No problem, keep pressing. Yu Ming, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Wang Qiang continued to massage him.
Her hands are very soft and it is really a pleasure to press them on people.
Xiao Yuming nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the number of rebels has increased a lot in the past few days. If this continues, it will be detrimental to us!"
Zhao Changqing closed his eyes and said: "No problem, let them continue to recruit troops. As the saying goes, you have to eat in one mouthful. If they open their mouths like lions, sooner or later their belly will burst.
We just have to wait until they boast that they are so numerous that they can sweep through everything in the world and are arrogant, and then we will give them the most painful blow so that they will never be able to stand up again!"
Although what His Majesty said was a solution, if he kept waiting like this, the emperor was not anxious and the ministers were anxious, so he said again:
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will not be able to control their development. According to reliable information, I have learned that the rebel forces have expanded to 600,000 troops."
Zhao Changqing opened his eyes. When he heard the number six hundred thousand, his eyes did not show any waves, but looked very calm. He patted Wang Qiang's arm, indicating that she didn't need to press it anymore, and then stood up.
He stretched in the main hall, then took two steps and said:
"When I heard that the rebels had 300,000 troops, I was thinking that no matter what, I had to send all the 400,000 troops I brought from Chang'an to the battlefield.
Later, these rebels had 500,000 troops. I was thinking that at least 200,000 elite cavalry would be needed to defeat the enemy.
Until now, I heard you say that those rebels already have 600,000 mercenaries, which is huge, right? But I am thinking that to defeat them, we only need 100,000 elite soldiers!"
Zhao Changqing had his own analysis and reasons for saying this. After all, for a mob like rebels, the more people there are, the harder it is to get together and fight in groups.
Once a mob of 600,000 people enters the battlefield, under the charge of 100,000 cavalry, chaos will inevitably occur. By then, any unbearable situation may occur.
But Xiao Yuming didn't understand this. He asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, why do we have fewer troops when the enemy has more people?"
Zhao Changqing was about to explain, but he heard Xiao Yuming say with a look of enlightenment: "Your Majesty, I understand! Could it be that Your Majesty means that the more people they have, the more problems they will have with food, grass, supplies, etc. As time goes by,
The enemy troops are in chaos!"
Zhao Changqing:......
He looked at Xiao Yuming seriously and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Forget it, that’s it!
Just think whatever you like!
"So, don't be impatient. Let the army be calm and rest while there is no fighting in these few days. When the time comes, the rebels will be defeated!" Zhao Changqing added.
Xiao Yuming was filled with admiration and solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
All right…
What a sage again...
Zhao Changqing has nothing to say, is this so holy?
He asked about other things, "Which great wizard, have you found out?"
Xiao Yuming shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, we are still investigating, and we haven't found out who it is yet. However, there is one thing that makes the general feel strange.
It seems that this great wizard has only been active in the Lingnan area recently. Before this, there was no trace of this person. It was as if he had suddenly appeared beforehand.
The general guesses that this person will definitely be behind this rebellion among Lingnan witches!"
