As the morning sun rises, the light shines through the dense morning mist in the forest onto the large campus in the forest. The rays of light are like milky white floating streamers, scattered like thin gauze.
Flags were fluttering on the campus grounds and people were buzzing.
Soldiers and civilians from the entire Luoyan Valley stronghold are arriving here in an endless stream. Although people from several branch villages have not arrived, the number of soldiers and civilians in the main Luoyan Valley stronghold alone has reached 60,000, and they are densely gathered in the large stronghold.
On the school field.
All Luoyan Army soldiers have lined up neatly in front of the high platform of the school ground. Although they are dressed in different clothes, some have neat armor, some only have one or two pieces of armor, and some are even wearing civilian clothes. But they all stand up with their chests raised,
Their backs are straight and their bodies are majestic. The exposed skin on their faces and bodies is dark and healthy bronze. Their faces have strong lines and their eyes are resolute. In the midst of arduous training and countless life-and-death battles, these people have
It is already a formidable army, beyond the comparison of ordinary green forest soldiers and horses.
When everyone arrived at the school grounds, everyone looked at the high platform. It was still empty there. There were only a dozen soldiers standing on the side of the platform, and some people were moving chairs, tables and other items. But not long after, there were
It will be the place where the leader of the cottage announces a major event. Many people have heard about the specific event. There have been many rumors in the cottage in the past few days, and people are eagerly looking forward to the confirmation of these messages.
At half past midnight, accompanied by passionate drumbeats, a large group of people came slowly from the east side of the school grounds. One of the two leaders was wearing a golden armor, and their bodies were shining with golden light. Although their steps were a bit frivolous, their expressions were serious and their eyes were resolute. Many of them
Everyone knew who it was, and it was none other than Guo Kun, the young prince of Prince Liang. Although the golden armor was a bit exaggerated, it was not a problem. The arrival of the young prince heralded half of the rumors confirmed.
Next to Guo Kun, the tall young man wearing plain black armor and a blue cloak was none other than Lin Jue, the founder of Luoyan Valley Dazhai. His face was calm, with a smile on his lips, and his steps were steady.
Following the two men were Gao Muqing, the leader of the village, who was wearing black armor and a scarlet cloak, as well as the leaders of the village who were fully armed. There were also more than a dozen women, dressed in costumes with their faces covered by tulle, following them.
The crowd slowly climbed onto the high platform from the side of the stage. They took their seats behind the long tables on the stage. More than a hundred soldiers with majestic figures and bright armor stood in front of and behind the stage, with bright eyes and chests and belly. This was the palace of the prince who had recently entered the mountain.
The guards and part of the Lin family's nursing home.
With everyone watching, Lin Jue slowly walked to the stage and glanced at the dark crowd. Everyone seemed to be noticed by him. Everyone immediately stood in silence, and the school grounds suddenly became quiet.
"Commanders of the Luoyan Army, fellow citizens, I am Lin Jue, please be polite." Lin Jue spoke loudly and saluted with clasped fists.
"Commander, you are polite." Thousands of people shouted in unison and returned the salute.
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, and said loudly: "Today is a big day. Today is the 27th of July. Remember today. Because today, our Funiu Mountain Luoyangu Dazhai will raise the banner to fight against the rebels. Many people
You should already know this news, but I still want to tell you the cause and effect... Not long ago, there was a dramatic change in the palace of the Zhou Dynasty. King Huai Guo Xu colluded with several treacherous officials in the court to launch a coup to usurp the throne. They killed
They killed the emperor, the prince, the queen mother, the queen, and Concubine Rong. They bloodbathed the harem. Not only that, they also wanted to kill Prince Liang and the young prince, and also me. But before that, they
They have killed many people, including my mentor Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsun and other loyal ministers of the court. Their purpose of doing this was to usurp the throne and seize power and sit on the throne of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Then Guo Xu killed his father and brother,
To kill his grandmother, mother and concubine is to be an unkind, unfaithful and unfilial evil thief. Such a person is now sitting on the throne and becomes the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Can we agree? Answer me loudly."
"cannot!"
"cannot!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians shouted like a tsunami.
Lin Jue nodded and said loudly: "Yes, you can't. Although we gather in the mountains and fields, we are still the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our roots are in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now the beast has ascended the throne, and the gods have become the subjects of this beast. This is a great thing.
It is an insult. This is the greatest blasphemy against justice and justice. If such a person becomes the emperor, how can we, the Zhou Dynasty, have any morality, justice, human relations, public order and good customs? Will it still be the great country of China and the country of etiquette? As taught by the saints, every day
The personal principles of "benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, loyalty, filial piety, justice" have become a laughing stock. If that beast who openly violated the teachings of the saints becomes the emperor, then we have all become beasts. Therefore, we must not allow them to succeed.
.Because of this, we have called you here today to hold up the banner, follow the way of heaven, establish destiny for the people of the world, defend the way of heaven and human relations, and defend the words of the saints."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Everyone yelled excitedly.
Lin Jue's words are easy to understand and go straight to the deepest bottom line in people's hearts. Everyone, even robbers and bandits, have a bottom line, which is the bottom line of morality and human relations. What Guo Xu did was to kill his brother, his father, his grandmother, his mother and his concubine.
, in the eyes of ordinary people, this has long been the behavior of animals and is not worthy of anyone's defense. Therefore, without much incitement, just telling the facts can ignite their emotions and arouse the anger of the crowd.
"My fellow soldiers and fellow villagers, although we, Luoyan Valley, are just a village in the mountains, we have been at war with the officers and soldiers for a long time and were mortal enemies of each other. Some of you must be wondering, why are we in the Green Forest Village getting involved in the affairs of the imperial court? Isn't that too much?
Minding other people's business. But don't forget, although we are called bandits, we are bandits doing justice for heaven, not ordinary people who rob homes and harm the people. Since the establishment of our Luoyangu Dazhai, we have been
It is my duty to protect the people of the world, and to make them homeless, it is for corrupt officials
Those who persecuted and oppressed had a place to live. We never did anything harmful to nature. We did not rob others. We dug canals and dams, grew food and hunted with our own hands. We never disturbed others, and the people nearby only
They are afraid of the government, but they never have to worry about us. We have proved with practical actions that our Luoyangu Dazhai is not an ordinary village. We are a moral and disciplined village. Because of this, we are different. Because of this, we cannot
Tolerate the dirty things that happened in the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Don't say that it has nothing to do with you. The world is in chaos, corrupt officials are rampant, the emperor is unkind, and the ministers are unjust. The world is right in front of us. How can we
Can you bear to watch people in the world suffer? Of course not."
"No, we can't sit idly by!" tens of thousands of people shouted in unison.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Thank you all, I am very happy that you can understand this. This is also an opportunity for our soldiers and civilians in Dazhai. An opportunity to get out of the mountains and forests and return to the normal world. Although Luoyan Valley is good, it is just that.
So big. You come from all over the world, and you have relatives and old relatives at home, but due to identity and reality, it is difficult to meet each other. This time, we follow the prince of Liang to raise the flag to fight against the rebellion, which is the right way to make achievements. The young prince is kind-hearted.
Gen Hong, we will follow him on the journey. Of course, I must tell you. Once the war starts, some of you will die on the battlefield, be injured, and bleed. I hope you can be prepared. I, the Luoyan Army, are the least afraid.
The only thing we can do is bleed to death. We all crawled over from the pile of dead people. But at the same time, there must be some of you who have made great achievements and become generals and marshals. This is bound to happen. Therefore, what I need is someone who can fight without fear.
Warriors, if you are afraid, you can withdraw from the mountain stronghold within ten days from now, and I will not pursue you. After ten days, if anyone dares to be afraid of death, don't blame me for the ruthless military law of the Luoyan Army. Do you understand?
"
"Don't worry, military advisor, I'm not afraid."
"With military advisors here, the Luoyan Army will be invincible in every battle."
The crowd was shouting in confusion, the crowd was excited and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Lin Jue nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said loudly: "Then, I invite the young prince to come and give you a lecture and read out a remonstrance."
Lin Jue took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded thunderously. Guo Kun stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the front of the stage. Lin Jue laughed in a low voice: "Leave it to you. Read it out."
Guo Kun's face flushed with excitement and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, brother-in-law."
Lin Jue smiled and stepped aside. Guo Kun glanced at the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in front of him. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. However, he was a person who had seen the world, but he had not spoken to so many unfamiliar people.
, that tension disappeared fleetingly, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"A message to combat the treasonous, unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial traitor Guo Xu, who killed his father, his brother, and the Queen Mother's concubine, as well as his minions Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun, Zhao Yuankang and other rebellious officials."
Guo Kun loudly read out the slogan with a surprisingly long name and an extremely awkward name. He deserved the name of the slogan, and the slogan that Lin Jue gave him did not have a name.
"The dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty has lasted for one hundred and fifty years. Its territory is so vast, its country is so rich, its troops and horses are so prosperous, and its wealth is so much that it has never been possible since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. After more than ten dynasties, the first emperors were diligent, self-denial, and obedient.
Etiquette attaches great importance to filial piety, listen to the words of the saints, and do moral things. This is why the great Zhou Dynasty flourished and lasted for hundreds of years. It is normal for the affairs of the world to rise and fall, and it is normal for trees to flourish and wither, and for birth, old age, sickness and death. The same goes for the affairs of the country.
.In our great Zhou Dynasty, although the state declined in the Qingfeng period, it did not appear to be in ruins. On the contrary, there was hope for resurgence. Good ministers and capable officials emerged in large numbers, and the will to change was very strong. The sage kings and wise ministers worked together, and the state owned
However, at this moment, trouble suddenly arose. As a son of a man, Guo Xu, the king of Huai, did not abide by human ethics. As a younger brother, he did not abide by filial piety. As a minister, he did not abide by the rules of the court. As a member of the royal family, he disobeyed his ancestors.
Regulations. Collusion with powerful ministers, killing brothers and fathers. In one night, the former crown prince died tragically, the queen mother was in trouble, and the harem was bloody. The behavior of the beasts disrupted human relations and the country, and both humans and gods were angry. All the subjects in the world gnashed their teeth when they heard about it, and they hated it. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty,
China, a country of benevolence and righteousness, how can we allow beasts to occupy the imperial court and desecrate the imperial power? To behave like a monkey without wearing a crown is detestable, human ethics has been ruined, and is the target of thousands of people. How can the world tolerate beasts like Guo Xu who steal the country and usurp the throne? I am a big man.
If the Zhou Dynasty allows such beasts to dominate the court, the people of the world will be ashamed to be the people of the Zhou Dynasty. The hard work of more than ten generations of emperors will be destroyed in a matter of seconds..."
"I, Guo Kun, am a descendant of the royal family. My father, King Liang, is the second son of the late emperor, King Liang Guo Bing. I am of orthodox origin and have pure blood. As a heir of the royal family, how can I just sit idly by as Guo Xu has committed such an act that violates human ethics and justice?
As the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can we sit back and watch beasts occupy the throne and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now with the help of a righteous man from the Luoyan Army in Funiu Mountain, we have risen up to attack Guo Xu. From now on, we will recruit all the righteous men from all over the world to gather in Luoyan Valley to plan for great things.
, vowing to kill the traitor Guo Xu who stole the country and usurped the throne, comforted the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and restored the prosperous Qingming Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. From now on, I, Guo Kun, will take the title of King of Bianliang and vow to recapture the capital. Wherever this proclamation reaches
At this place, the people of the world can rise up, follow me, and attack with roar. When I recapture Bianliang and kill the rebels, I will be generously rewarded. The day when this edict is promulgated, it will be the time when I attack the large army of cavalry, and I will win.
With the help of the people's support and the unity of loyalty and righteousness, the victory will be achieved and the battle will be invincible. Announce it throughout the sea and let the envoys know about it!"
Guo Kun finished reading the proclamation in one breath and stood attentively. The whole place was silent, except for the sound of the howling wind and the endless roar of the forest sea like waves.
Lin Jue revised this statement many times and considered it for a long time. The essence of the statement is to incite emotions, create public opinion, and occupy the moral high ground. It must be majestic and down-to-earth at the same time, so that everyone can understand what is being said.
What. So Lin Jue used a short space to trace the past and think about the present, and try to be as short and concise as possible to name the key points. This appeal was also written with great literary talent and lively.
Of course, before coming, Guo Kun proposed some small modifications, such as the long and
A tough name. But that doesn't matter.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly a loud roar broke out. Everyone suddenly realized that their identities were about to change, and Luoyan Valley and their own destiny would also undergo huge changes. From now on, the Luoyan Army will be in Bianliang
The soldiers and horses with official status under the leadership of Wang Guokun will compete in the world, eradicate the evildoers, and restore the Qingming Dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although many people do not understand that this means bleeding to death, and it means breaking the current peaceful and comfortable life and entering into a new era.
In the midst of cruel battles, deep down, everyone actually longs to make achievements and be recognized by the world. This is an irrefutable thing.
"Kill Guo Xu and get rid of the traitor!" Lin Jue took the lead and raised his hands and shouted.
"Kill Guo Xu and get rid of the traitors!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Restore the Qingming Dynasty in our Great Zhou Dynasty and save the people from the fire and water." Lin Jue roared.
"Restore the Qingming Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty and save the people from the fire and water." The crowd shouted.
Soon this shouting became an expression of emotion and free expression.
"Kill Guo Xu, this beast, and kill him, this turtle son of a bastard."
"Pull out the old turtle Lu Zhongtian's beard and hang it up to light a sky lantern."
"All the traitors will have their ancestral graves dug up with a thousand swords."
Everyone was shouting in confusion. Lin Jue frowned and smiled bitterly. What were these people shouting about? Digging Guo Xu's ancestral grave? Wasn't that digging the ancestral graves of the previous emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Calling Guo Xu a turtle son a bastard was not scolding the former emperor.
Guo Chong? After all, the soldiers and civilians in the cottage are still mixed, and the same is true in the army. They still need to spend a lot of effort to rectify it.
Lin Jue raised his arms and everyone fell silent. Lin Jue glanced at Guo Kun and motioned for him to continue.
Guo Kun nodded and said loudly: "Brothers and fellow countrymen, I would like to show you something. This is the orthodox possession of the great Zhou Dynasty. When the late emperor left, he left an edict to the country to send this thing together with the great Zhou Dynasty.
It was handed over to me on Monday. If you don't believe it, please look at this."
Guo Kun stretched out his hand, and Shen Tan held the square object in both hands and presented it to him. Guo Kun took it, opened the package, and raised a green square jade seal with a handle wrapped around nine dragons high, displaying it in front of everyone.
"This is the seal of my Kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The late emperor gave it to me, that is, he asked me to eradicate the traitors for him and reorganize the country. Guo Kun is not talented, so it is difficult for him to take up this responsibility, but as a great general, I
I am a direct descendant of the royal family of Zhou Dynasty, so I have no shirking responsibilities. Although I have the national seal and the legacy of the late emperor, I could have established myself as emperor, but I don’t want to do so. Today I swear an oath to fulfill the legacy of the late emperor. In the future, I will regain the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and do it again.
Decision. I am acting on behalf of the late emperor, not for my own selfish interests. I will clarify this matter in front of you today to avoid misunderstandings. The late emperor gave me the order and I am not doing it myself." Guo Kun said loudly.
Lin Jue nodded slowly. Guo Kun's growth was huge. Lin Jue handed the national seal to Guo Kun, which meant to give him greater legitimacy to raise troops and further consolidate his position. With the national seal, even if
It is legal to establish oneself as emperor. But Guo Kun did not do that. Instead, he said something like this. This was completely opposite to his previous character. After experiencing this incident, Guo Kun learned how to be humble and bribe.
People's hearts have understood the principle of not being too hasty. His move is very clever. From now on, Luoyan Valley will raise not the banner of Prince Liang and his son, but the banner of the late emperor Guo Chong. Guo Kun is only acting on behalf of the late emperor.
Just become the late emperor's agent.
When everyone saw the national seal held high in Guo Kun's hand, it shone brightly in the sun and was extremely beautiful. Some of the doubts they had in their hearts were swept away. The national seal is the most important treasure of a country, and this thing is actually in the hands of Luo Yanjun.
What are you still questioning? Some people looked at the national seal and almost knelt down to worship it.
"The king announces that from now on, Funiu Mountain will be renamed Luoyan County, and the government will be here, and the name will be changed to Luoyan City. Gao Muqing will be appointed as the magistrate of Luoyan County, in charge of all matters. Lin Jue will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Luoyan Army to command Luoyan.
All affairs in the army. I will not interfere in military and political affairs. I hope that the five hundred guards of the palace will be under the command of Luoyan Army. From now on, important matters will depend on Lin Jue and Miss Gao. To show my sincerity, I will hand over the national seal to Lin.
In order to show that the king has complete trust in Commander Lin and has no suspicion at all. Commander Lin and County Magistrate Gao, please accept my bow, and I will rely on you for important matters."
As Guo Kun spoke, he bowed to Lin Jue and respectfully handed over the jade seal. Emperors of all dynasties were extremely respectful to important ministers of the country and entrusted them with various tasks, so there was a saying of worshiping generals and ministers. Lin Jue and Gao Muqing then
It's like one is a leading general and the other is a prime minister. Guo Kun's move is also like an act of worshiping a prime minister and a general. Although Gao Muqing does not have high ability to manage government affairs, she has a special status. She is the chief minister of Luoyan Valley.
The owner of the village must give her a very high position. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the real person in charge is Lin Jue.
Lin Jue bowed in return, took the imperial seal respectfully, and then handed the imperial seal back.
"Lin Jue has accepted the sincerity of the prince. I dare to keep this precious national seal with me. It would be better for the prince to keep it with me. Lin Jue is willing to lead the soldiers of the Luoyan Army to eradicate the traitors for the late emperor and restore the Qingming Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
From now on, I will devote myself to my life and die."
Although the two of them had discussed the drama before and acted it out completely according to the script, it was still an indispensable act. Since you want to do big things, you can't help but do some superficial things. These are the best people in history.
The remaining means of playing tricks are not Lin Jue's original invention.
Gao Muqing also bowed and returned the gift, and Guo Kun awarded the prepared seal to Gao Muqing. After that, Guo Kun ordered people to make a hundred copies of the petition on the spot. Guo Kun personally stamped the national seal, and more than a hundred selected Luoyan Army soldiers
As soon as he received the proclamation, he led his horse and galloped down the mountain. It is conceivable that soon, all the major state capitals in the Great Zhou Dynasty will post this proclamation. The story of the Luoyan Army raising the flag to fight against rebellion will spread throughout the world.
