Chapter 1005 17. Go east to fight the enemy!
Luo Chengyun's voice was always serious and never loud, but in everyone's ears at this moment, it seemed louder than tens of millions of people, even hundreds of millions of people shouting in unison, like thunder breaking at dawn and then falling to the ground.
Because he is the head of the Luo family and the agent of King Su, his words can be called the sound of heaven. Even the most sacred emperors in ancient times are far inferior to him, because the emperors of the ancient holy kings were usurpers, while the heaven behind the head of the Luo family is a real heaven with emotions and tendencies!
Now Luo Chengyun said that he wanted to attack the New School Party. Then the New School Party would have violated the Heavenly Law, and this would be the end of everything, according to everyone.
Everyone knelt down in unison, bowing to Su Wang Huang Tian. The sounds of sobbing and rushing water were heard at the same time.
"Go and call on the people of the world to issue a manifesto to fight against the enemy!"
Luo Chengyun said this at last.
…
The news from Zhaocheng spread across the country within an hour. In the next few days or even a dozen days, even the farmers living in the countryside knew about it. Luo Chengyun's words were heard by thousands of households without missing a word.
It seems that people all over the world have found a backbone!
In Henan, the flag of resistance was first raised. Those who left Zhaocheng returned to their hometowns, and then shouted to all the people who gathered around them from the high platform, "The New School Party has brought disaster to the world. Even the most brutal and foolish Emperor Yang of Sui in ancient times was no more than this. Among the New School Party, people like Emperor Yang of Sui are everywhere. The Emperor of Heaven has completely despised him. According to the will of the people in the world, we must now punish them."
In the Hebei area occupied by the Luo family, almost all the cities were occupied by angry people. They gathered outside Zhaocheng and encouraged each other, "Oh, the heroes of Hebei, we have lived in Luo for two thousand years. How can these tyrants and corrupt officials survive here?
Now is the case, let us unite, unite around Luo, raise the swords and weapons in our hands, and let the new school party know what it means that the anger of the people can burn the stars in the sky! "
What frightened the New School Party members was that the situation was also the same in the Hedong area, where the mountains and rivers were located. In the New School Party’s stronghold, such as the Jiangnan Province, a large number of people also revolted. “The New School Party members caused history to regress. The imperial examination system that had lasted for hundreds of years was secretly abandoned. The eighteen families united to control the country’s political power. They indulged those brutal clerks and did not punish them.
Innocent civilians are imprisoned, while guilty officials can escape. In this country without an emperor, the helpless civilians cannot even find anyone to whom they can appeal for their grievances. The law is like a densely woven web that oppresses the survival of all citizens. When citizens resist, they are subjected to moral judgment of breaking the law and are forced to experience death again, even implicating their relatives. How cruel!
The common people have been starving to death on the roadside, just like they have been doing for thousands of years, while the new nobles are sitting high and mighty eating hundreds of meals. The common people's houses have been driven away, while the new nobles own tens of millions of mansions. How unfair is this?"
Countless manifestos were heard in every corner of the country. None of these manifestos were polished by Luo, but they were so moving. They were the voices of the people.
In the end, Luo Chengyun wrote the last manifesto himself.
…
The flames of the uprising spread across the country in a short period of time. No one knew how many people had joined the uprising. The economic crisis and the Great Depression caused almost half of the people to lose their ability to make a living. Even those who survived earned a meager salary. The cruel faces of the New School Party had been completely exposed to everyone, not to mention the manifesto issued by Luo himself.
The empire has just passed away, and many people have experienced the last era of Luo's rule over the world. They miss that period. At the end of the empire, they opposed the New School Party and the emperor's abdication, not to mention now, when these people have become the most fanatical propagandists.
In Luoyang, the New School Party held another rally. Everyone's face looked grim. If you looked closely, you could see fear in their eyes. From this raging uprising, they saw a force that seemed to be able to overthrow their rule. Judging from the current public grievances, their end would not be good.
The only thing that can comfort them now is that times have changed. Although numbers are also important now, the power of weapons and equipment has been greatly enhanced. In recent years, the New School Party has mainly armed the Central Army, so the treatment and weapons and equipment of the Central Army are far better than those of the local miscellaneous troops, not to mention those peasants who even have swords and spears in their hands, who are simply vulnerable.
The chief executive looked at the panicked crowd and snorted, "Why are you all panicking? Although the rebels are coming aggressively, as long as we give the order and let the central army attack, the situation will soon improve. I think we can take back Hedong, Hebei, Henan, and Jiangnan. Although there are rebel forces, there are also many forces loyal to us. We will just watch from Luoyang. I don't think there is any need to worry."
…
"Sir, we are eating food from Luoyang, it would be bad to surrender directly like this."
"What surrender? This is called an uprising. I've been fed up with those bastards in Luoyang for a long time. When I was serving under the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, I never saw anyone with such a high nose. These people should go to hell and be condemned to eternal damnation, never to be reborn.
And your awareness is not good enough, what do you mean by eating Luoyang's food? Only those bastards in Luoyang know how to farm. How do you say that? That's the word King Luo said. "
"You mean exploitation?"
"Yes, it is exploitation. Those are the lands cultivated by the farmers, and those bastards only know how to exploit them. I am going to revolt now. The worst that can happen is that I will die on the battlefield and serve the New Learning Party as a dog. Even a dog would not do that!
Besides, this time the old King Su personally issued the oracle, and we are his loyal followers, so we must fiercely rebel against him."
…
The situation on the battlefield changed three times a day. The several legions sent to Guandong soon either surrendered or were annihilated. The combat effectiveness of the Guandong uprising army far exceeded the expectations of the New School Party. Even the most optimistic people couldn't laugh now, especially since the Luo family hadn't really made a move yet. No one knew whether the Luo family would suddenly have a burst of weapons and equipment. At that time, no one dared to imagine what would happen.
"My Lords, the rebels in Guandong have basically controlled the vast Central Plains area east of the old Xingyang. As long as they can capture Xingyang, with the current mechanized speed, they can directly march to the city of Luoyang."
This is the battle report, and the advice given by the General Staff is to send the main force of the Central Army to engage in a head-on decisive battle with the rebel army in Guandong in the Central Plains. As long as the main force of the rebel army can be defeated, the situation can be reversed directly.
This desperate approach makes many people feel sympathetic. If they win, they can reverse the situation, but if they lose, they will fall directly into hell and suffer a complete defeat.
Seeing the atmosphere in the conference room so stagnant, the chief executive became more and more angry. He no longer cared about anything else and slammed the table heavily. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with their heads down, he said, "You are all elite soldiers of the party and the country. How can you be so low-key and have no confidence?
Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu and Xu, these five states have always been the strategic points for the unification of the Chinese state, and many battles to determine the fate of the country took place here.
King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, defeated King Zhou of Shang here; Qin general Wang Jian destroyed the State of Luo here and dominated the world; Xiang Yu annihilated the main force of Qin here and destroyed Qin in one battle; Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, trapped and killed Xiang Yu in the Central Plains; Emperor Taizong of Tang conquered the resistance forces in the Central Plains in one battle; this is what the ancients meant by vying for the throne of the Central Plains.
Back then, our New School Party was active in Guandong, Hebei, Henan and Jiangnan, and its growth rate was shocking. People all over the world regarded us as the savior of the world. Ten years ago, we started our army from Guandong, and before we reached Hulao, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty abdicated upon hearing the news, and all the nine provinces in the world then belonged to us. At that time, the people of all China rushed to the holy city of Luoyang. The scene of thriving vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes. We all say that the name of the New School Party will be resounding for thousands of years to come.
I don’t understand why, after just ten years, everyone is talking about the end of the world, as if this holy city of Zhuxia is going to transform into our burial place! "
After he said this, all the generals in the room lowered their heads, as if they felt ashamed. After all, losing a battle is not an honorable thing for a soldier.
“Today you asked me how to fight against the rebellion in Guandong. I just want to say that I will stay in Luoyang and live and die with Luoyang. I would rather be a great consul who dies in battle than be a clown who flees west in panic and leaves a ridiculous ending in history!
Besides, there are millions of well-trained troops in Luoyang, equipped with the most advanced weapons in the world. Can't they be a match for those farmers and hired workers? I think we don't have to be pessimistic. The advantage in this war is mine!"
No matter how bad a person is, there are still some loyal people. After hearing the Chief Executive's impassioned words, several well-built and loyal soldiers stood up and said sadly, "Sir, we will definitely stop the Guandong rebels outside the Tiger Prison. This Tiger Prison is where they will be buried!"
Everyone in the conference room received an order to leave, but the Chief Executive's face gradually became ugly. The army was easy to fool, but those politicians were not easy to fool.
After all, news can be deceiving, but the battle lines and situations will not. When the rebels first started the uprising, there were only scattered cities, but now the entire Guandong has been connected. If it were not for the solid city and a powerful army, Luoyang would probably have been lost.
When the Central Army flowed out of Luoyang like water and headed to the front line to deploy defenses, everyone who was watching this scene had the same question in their minds: can these troops really stop the Guandong Volunteer Army?
It is said that the head of the Luo family has walked out of Zhaocheng, surrounded by the leaders of the rebels, to watch this final battle in person.
Yes.
In the eyes of the rebels, this would be the last battle, and they believed they would surely win. Even though they were facing the last elite troops of the New School Party, their morale was extremely high. In sharp contrast, the New School Party's army was in a state of mental confusion even with their sophisticated equipment.
When the Central Army rushed to the front line, a shocking news came that Hulao Pass, the most important pass facing Guandong, had been lost.
Countless people in Luoyang were distracted by this, because once Hulao Pass was lost, Luoyang would become the front line.
Although in today's era, city fortresses are not as important as they were in ancient times, a strong city is still the best means of defense. Now that it has been lost, how can we not think of the phrase "the game is over"?
In Luoyang City, a group of people surrounded the Chief Executive, all of whom were trying to persuade him earnestly: "Grand Commander, now that Hulao Pass has been lost, Luoyang will soon become a frontline position. Our army will deploy defenses around Luoyang. As the center of the court, you must leave here and go to Chang'an to take charge. Only then will the Party and the country have the final chance to turn the tables."
The Chief Executive stood on the gate tower of Luoyang City with tears in his eyes, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers, and lamented: "It seems that I have to leave Luoyang, leave this holy capital of the Xia Dynasty built by the Su King himself."
