Chapter 580: The origin of Zeng Hongshen, the old man!
It was him, Wei San finally remembered. Zeng Hongshen was not an unknown person in the world of Dali. Instead, he was a thundering presence in the entire Dali court.
Zeng Hongshen, known as the crippled old man in the world. Thirty years ago, in Jiangxi, because of the private increase in taxes and the persecution of the officials and gentry, the people could no longer be exploited. The tenant farmers and poor peasants rose up in rebellion, killing officials and rebelling. For a time, the momentum was huge, and most of Jiangxi was corrupted.
Even the prefect of Jiangxi died at the hands of thieves, and the whole Dali was shaken.
The imperial court was furious, and sent out an army of 200,000 people, and invited ten people from the imperial court to worship him. They laid a dragnet and surrounded and suppressed him layer by layer.
I thought it was a unilateral massacre, but I didn't expect that there seemed to be experts strategizing behind the peasant army. Not only did the imperial army suffer heavy losses, but the 200,000-strong army fought last month and lost 70,000 to 80,000.
Even among the ten people who were enshrined by the imperial court and were like national advisors, four of them died.
If it hadn't been for the attack at the rear, when the peasant army was short of food and grass and collapsed, and if it dragged on, the imperial court might not have been able to win.
The core figure, or leader, of this peasant uprising was the crippled old man Zeng Hongshen.
Not only was he proficient in the art of war, extremely resourceful, and well-strategized, but his martial arts skills were even more outstanding. He was able to stand in the midst of tens of thousands of troops and rely on various means such as guerrilla warfare to kill four ministers of the imperial court one after another.
The six people who came down were unable to do anything to make offerings, so that for the rest of the time, even when eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, they stayed in groups of two and two.
It was such a top figure in the world who disappeared after the peasant uprising in Jiangxi and disappeared throughout Dali. Some people said that he died under the joint pursuit of the imperial court, and some said that he was lurking among the people and was brewing a second plot.
During the peasant uprising, some people said that he left Dali and went overseas.
People do not know the specific name of this figure who once caused great turmoil in Dali. They only know that he is an old man with white hair, a slightly stooped back, and an extraordinary level of cultivation. Based on his deeds, people in the world have given him
He had a well-known nickname, Old Man Tiancan.
But Wei San knew that there was no other specific name for Old Man Tiancan, just because his brother-in-law was also a participant in that peasant uprising, and he also reached a middle-level and high-level position. During that court encirclement and suppression, he did not fall into the hands of the court.
Instead, he escaped by chance and remained anonymous.
Because he was afraid that the court would find out and bring down his family, Wei San's brother-in-law also kept a low profile and did not dare to do any serious business. He could only take some shady jobs that the government could not find out, barely living a living, and he was miserable for half his life.
It was from this down-and-out uncle that Wei San learned the real name of Old Man Tiancan. However, he was still young at that time and did not pay attention to his drunken nonsense. Therefore, he was the first to hear
The name of the old beggar Zeng Hongshen only felt vaguely familiar, and he did not immediately remember where he had heard it before.
Fortunately, warriors have trained their bodies and tempered their bodies, and their hearing and vision are sharp, and their memory is stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, after searching his mind, Wei San finally remembered the source.
However, Wei San would rather not remember it. This crippled old man is not from a good place, and knowing his identity may not be a good thing.
At the same time, Wei San was also secretly worried. Not to mention whether Old Man Tiancan had any ill intentions towards the palace, but if the imperial court knew the identity of Old Man Tiancan, the palace would inevitably be in big trouble.
Regarding Emperor Xin's move to recruit the crippled old man Zeng Hongshen, Wei San could not say whether it was good or bad. There was only one thing he knew, and that was that Prince Yu had changed. He who was once low-key and reserved began to cultivate his own power.
After three years of non-flying, he soared into the sky; after three years of silence, he became a blockbuster. Could it be said that the prince also has an idea about that position?
Wei San shuddered. The battle for the throne could be said to be bloody, with swords and swords flashing, and corpses scattered everywhere. He knew that from today on, Prince Yu's Mansion would never have the peaceful days it had before.
I don’t know how many of the hundreds of people in Prince Yu’s Mansion will survive in the end?
In Prince Yu's Mansion, Di Xin naturally didn't know the true identity of Zeng Hongshen, the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick he had picked up on the street. Later, Wei San reported to him with a nervous look on his face, and he laughed heartily.
He didn't care, but it comforted Wei San.
With Emperor Xin's mind, he naturally would not care about the so-called crippled old man Zeng Hongshen who was just a rebel leader. In the eyes of the ancient people of the feudal dynasty, people like Zeng Hongshen were rebellious traitors, rebels, and thieves.
All evil is unforgivable, everyone can punish it, and everyone avoids it. But in the eyes of Emperor Xin, there is no such prejudice. In the final analysis, the peasant uprisings in ancient times were because the court gentry persecuted too much, leaving the common people with no choice.
The kind who can't even sell their children and daughters to survive in order to survive.
Therefore, despite the involvement of conspirators in the peasant uprising, the entire peasant uprising is still righteous, and this is confirmed on Blue Star.
Therefore, Di Xin did not have the slightest discrimination against the leader of the peasant uprising, not to mention the person who could ask the question whether the world could be fed, was undoubtedly the same as Du Fu, who had thousands of houses in Guangsha.
He cannot be a conspirator secretly manipulating the peasant uprising for his own benefit.
At this moment, in the front yard of the palace, Di Xin was asking the Tiancan old man Zeng Hongshen for martial arts lessons. If the three of us were together, I would be the teacher. Although Di Xin was a Realm Master, he was not proud of his status as a Realm Master.
Arrogance is a roadblock that hinders people's progress. Arrogance itself is a kind of discrimination against others.
Although "Huangji Jingshi Lu" was created by Emperor Xin by combining the experience and wisdom of countless martial arts sages in the ancient world, no matter which world it is placed in, it can be said to be timeless and outstanding.
However, "Emperor's Shocking World Record" is only based on the superficial martial arts in the palace of the Ancient Moon Realm. Although Emperor Xin thinks that he will not lose to any other martial arts in terms of exquisiteness and loftiness, it is only based on one
In this martial arts secret book, Di Xin is not sure whether the true meaning of the ancient moon world's martial arts that he has understood is biased, and he does not know whether there are any omissions in the martial arts system of the ancient moon world that he has deduced. Therefore, he needs to ask God for advice.
The disabled old man Zeng Hongshen, a master of martial arts, asked him to check for gaps and correct shortcomings.
Di Xin was not the least bit embarrassed. He was not someone who couldn't save face by asking his subordinates for advice first.
In fact, Di Xin is very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. To be honest, Di Xin has long known that with his own talents and qualifications, there are many people in the prehistoric world who are above him.
Let’s not mention the other people in the heavens and the world, let’s just talk about the original three realms, not to mention the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun, who is not the proud son of heaven, just the Tao Te Ching written by Taishang Laojun with high aspirations, even if he kills the emperor.
I can't even write Xin.
Even the two people who founded Buddhism and the Western religion Jie Yin Zhunti, who were able to make boundless ambitions to create the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, had qualifications higher than those of Di Xin.
However, why was Di Xin the one who succeeded in the end, and why did Di Xin leave them far behind?
