Chapter 76 I Want to Overturn the Sky

Zhu Yuanzhang and others shouted to save Han Shantong, but there was no intention of stopping the crossbows in their hands.

Since they chased into the woods, all the Yuan army that arrived this time were infantry.

A thousand cavalrymen roared and rushed towards Chelibuhua. At a distance of more than 200 meters, thousands of arrows instantly killed and wounded the pursuers behind Chelibuhua.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Tetsufuka roared with bloodshot eyes.
He didn't even bother to finish off the enemy and retreated madly towards the woods.

He ran a distance of several hundred meters as if it were several kilometers, and finally crawled back into the dense forest in a panic.

Fortunately, the hit rate of this kind of projectile crossbow arrow is extremely low.

With the desperate support of several personal soldiers,

When Zhu Yuanzhang and others approached, Cheli Buhua finally rushed into the woods with a crossbow arrow on his butt.

"stop!"

As soon as the messenger raised the flag, the cavalry team stood still.

The order was as strict as a mountain, which made Han Shantong below stunned.

Are you also a rebel? Why are you so outstanding even though you are both rebelling?

Tang He stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang on horseback, looking unsatisfied.

"Zhongba, why don't you chase me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately glared at Tang He and cursed:
"Get lost! Do you want to go to the military academy to study again? Haven't you heard that a desperate enemy should not be pursued? You want to lead a group of cavalry into the woods, but you lose a brother. I will beat you with a stick!"

Tang He smiled awkwardly and shrank his head.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Not to mention how hard life is in military school, but he finally endured six years and got some fresh air out. If he were locked up again, he would probably hate himself to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with a serious face: "Don't forget that this is in the army, there is no such thing as joking, only this time!"

Upon hearing this, Tang He immediately saluted solemnly and said loudly: "Yes!"

Compared with Xu Da, Tang He is obviously more naughty.
Xu Da was the first war god of the Ming Dynasty. He had an extraordinary military talent. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and started from scratch to establish the majesty of the Ming army.

Although Tang He was one of the 24 generals of Huaixi and a founding hero, his military achievements were much inferior.

But Tang He is very strong in one aspect, that is, he has foresight and a very high emotional intelligence.

Historically, even before Zhu Yuanzhang rose to power, Tang He respectfully called him "Big Brother" and even addressed Zhu Yuanzhang as "Big Brother" in public. Completely different from those slutty women who said one thing in public and another in private, Tang He was consistent in thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was better than him and he always believed it.

The wise and foolish Tang He naturally got a perfect ending. He was one of the few among the 24 generals who died of natural causes.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Tang He's military salute, his tone softened.

"The state has its own laws, the army has its own regulations, and the land god said that the people who make the rules are the ones who need to abide by them, otherwise no one will play with you."

He turned his head and looked at Han Shantong again, narrowing his eyes and asking:
"The eighth-generation grandson of Emperor Huizong of Song?"

Han Shantong nodded first, then shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, I am just a commoner, an ordinary citizen of Luancheng."

Xu Da on the side exclaimed in amazement:
"You are quite sensible. I thought you were going to continue talking to me in a condescending manner as if you were your eighth-generation grandson."

Han Shantong smiled wryly at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others who were dressed in top-notch clothes.

Damn it, the crossbow arrow just now almost shot me to death as a target. If I hadn’t lay down quickly, I would have been dead by now.

It was obvious that he did not take me, the eighth-generation grandson of Emperor Huizong of Song, seriously. If I did not know the current situation, I would be punished.

Han Shantong rubbed his hands, nodded and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked:

"I wonder what your name is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked indifferent and spoke slowly with a proud tone:

"Taoyuan Township, the messenger of the gods, Zhu Yuanzhang!" Han Shantong took a breath of cold air.
"Taoyuan Township!?"

You should know that among all the rebel forces, the most mysterious one is Taoyuan Township.
When Han Shantong started the uprising, he was inspired by Taoyuan Township.

Originally everyone thought that Taoyuan Township would take advantage of its rising fame to raise the banner of anti-Yuan.

As a result, after the peak battle, Taoyuan Township became quiet.

The imperial court did send troops to Taoyuan Township to gather intelligence.
However, almost all the spies who entered Donglu Mountain never returned.

This makes Taoyuan Township even more mysterious.

Over time,
Everyone thought that Taoyuan Township was just a legend, which was only spread by the imperial court for fishing.

The Tianshen sect that revolted in Fengyang County should have been destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty.

As a result, Han Shantong actually saw the rebel army coming out of Taoyuan Township.

Looking at the gleaming iron armor on the cavalry,

Han Shantong deeply felt the gap between his ragtag team and this legendary team.

Han Shantong fell to his knees with a thud.

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly:
"So you are brothers from Taoyuan Township. I decided to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty after hearing about your heroic deeds. I didn't expect to be saved by you brothers. This is something I could never have imagined in my dreams."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Shantong with a half-smile and said:
"Stop calling me brother, brother. It's not easy to be your brother. We are not on the same path as you. You want to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, but we want to overthrow the sky! The emperor in the sky!"

Han Shantong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly with a question mark on his face.
Why do I understand each word he says, but can’t understand him when they are put together?

Tang He on the side laughed and said proudly:

"I don't understand? The Marshal wants to build a country without an emperor!"

Han Shantong was even more confused after hearing this.

"No emperor? How can a country be without an emperor?"

People today simply cannot imagine what a country would be like without an emperor.

Tang He looked at the confused Han Shantong and smiled triumphantly.
He was also equally confused when he first heard Tianyu's lecture.

Now seeing Han Shantong's dumbfounded look, his sense of superiority suddenly reappeared.

At this moment, he looked at Han Shantong with an expression that was similar to how Voldemort looked at a Muggle.

"Why can't there be no emperor? What use is there for the emperor to the country?"

Han Shantong opened his mouth subconsciously and said:
"The emperor can give us land to farm, the emperor can ..."

Han Shantong suddenly realized something was wrong when he was halfway through his speech.

It seems that he rebelled just because he had no land to farm.

The emperor seemed to be of no use other than collecting taxes from himself.

The reason why he wanted to rebel was that he wanted to become emperor and do whatever he wanted.

The emperor is useless?

Han Shantong shook his head and muttered:

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, sent down from heaven to rule us."

Tang He sneered.
"You, who was born as the incarnation of a wise king, still believe in this?"

Han Shantong opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly:

"The emperor is nothing more than a big landlord with tyrannical military power. We, the common people, are oppressed by the landlords and gentry, and the emperor is the biggest landlord in China. Every person who successfully rebels automatically becomes the biggest landlord. They separate themselves from the original common people and turn to treat the common people as their own private property to seek benefits for themselves. Eventually, the common people's resentment grows deeper, and thus they launch a new round of rebellion."

"So what we need to do is to completely remove the emperor from this country and restore the country to the system of selecting the virtuous and capable and passing the throne to the emperor during the Yao, Shun and Yu periods."
