Most importantly, they don't usually do anything that is morally reprehensible.
This should be the main reason why they were not wiped out.
"Could it be that Heaven and Earth will try to win them over?"
Liu Feng could understand why the government didn't intervene, since they were good people who hadn't done anything wrong despite being together.
After all, it was Yanzhou, and with the Heaven and Earth Society holding it back, there were some things the government was powerless to do.
But with such a massive force, wouldn't the heavens and earth be tempted?
Would they go against the Heaven and Earth Society for Wu Santong's sake, and then deal with the people of the Heaven and Earth Society?
"I have no idea about that."
“I’m just a businessman. Knowing their nature, if they knew what happened to me, they would definitely help me.”
"Otherwise, how can they claim to be acting on behalf of Heaven and having a chivalrous heart?"
"good."
"In that case, you should go and find out more about these people; it might come in handy."
Liu Feng had a strong premonition that if this group could be put to use, hidden in Dragon Tooth Lake, they would become a surprise weapon for him to destroy the Heaven and Earth Society.
He had so many men under his command, including seventy-two heroes with exceptional skills.
If Liu Feng fails to recruit them, he will be a complete failure.
This is practically a force I've gained for free, so I have to recruit them. These people are far more valuable than those from Tianma Ridge.
After this arrangement was made, a few days later, Liu Feng, who was still blindfolded and preparing gunpowder, received a notification that the team transporting edible salt, led by Linghu Yuanshan and Wu Santong, was heading towards Yanzhou.
Now, news of the Heaven and Earth Society's rebellion in Yanzhou has reached the emperor's ears.
Two days later.
Inside the palace, in the emperor's southern study.
"What? Yanzhou City has already fallen and been occupied by those rebels from the Heaven and Earth Society?"
The emperor's eyes widened; he truly couldn't believe such news.
Only ten days had passed since the first urgent message about the rebellion of the Heaven and Earth Society in Yanzhou arrived. Unexpectedly, in just ten days, Chengdu in Yanzhou had already fallen.
"Your Majesty, this old minister requests permission to lead the troops into battle and annihilate these rebels."
At this moment, there were more than a dozen ministers standing below in the Southern Study, discussing matters with the emperor.
One of the old men stepped forward to volunteer. His voice was loud and clear, showing no signs of old age.
This man is one of the two people with the most military achievements in the Great Li Dynasty. He holds the title of General Who Conquers the North, personally conferred by the late emperor. This title is second only to being enfeoffed as a marquis.
In Dali, there is currently no marquis.
This person's name is Han Qinghu.
"General Han, you are a pillar of our dynasty, how can you put yourself in danger?"
In fact, Han Qinghu is now over seventy years old, although there is a history of the great general Li Jing who was over sixty years old and was able to destroy a country.
But at this age, who would dare let you go?
Would the emperor dare?
The emperor wasn't crazy.
The voices of earnest urging from below rose and fell.
The emperor himself was also frightened by this old fellow. "Look at your own health now. Although Huang Zhong and Lian Po are old but still strong, you are not like them."
"Winter break is coming. My beloved ministers are right. You are getting old, and it is time for the younger generation to take over these kinds of tasks."
"You can stay in the capital, keep an eye on the Ministry of War's battle reports, and give these young generals some pointers on how to fight."
The emperor knew exactly what was going on.
Besides him, the Grand General, the Dali Dynasty now has another Marquis of Martial Merit. The two of them are the pinnacle of military generals.
The Han family is a family of military generals for generations, with a profound foundation. The other family is the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family was originally much smaller, but after being promoted by the late emperor and granted the title of marquis, it has become on par with the Han family.
The Han family holds the title of general because their ancestor participated in the war that destroyed the Wei Kingdom, which is why they have held this title for so many years.
At the time, the Han family was just a small centurion in the Northern Expeditionary Army. After the battle, they were promoted to lieutenant generals. Their superior at that time was the ancestor of the Linghu family.
Later, when Wei rebelled, it was the ancestors of the Linghu family who led the ancestors of the Han family to judge the matter. During the reign of the late emperor, Han Qinghu led eight hundred men deep into Liaodong and defeated the Liaodong tribes in one battle. Only then was he appointed as the General Who Conquers the North.
Later, the Shangguan family rose to power, and the late emperor also intended to curb the development of the Han family, which is why he enfeoffed Shangguan Wujiu, a military general of similar age to Han Qinghu, as the Marquis of Wugong.
To be honest, from the time their ancestors rose to prominence, not a single member of the Han family has ever been a spendthrift.
Each generation inevitably produces someone who excels in military affairs to take on the family's responsibilities.
It's just a very unfortunate thing.
Han Qinghu was a renowned general, but by his time, he was truly bidding farewell to military service. His family had no male heirs, and even if there were, they were from collateral branches.
His family only had two daughters in the direct line.
In addition, he had been fighting in wars in his early years and had not thought about taking multiple wives. His wife also died in battle when she went to the battlefield with him.
So now, he only has Han Qinghu left as the General Who Conquers the North, and there are no descendants to carry on the legacy.
The hereditary title ended here.
Actually, there are quite a lot of stories about Han Qinghu.
If this old man were ten years younger, he would be absolutely invincible on the battlefield.
This is why it's so difficult to be an emperor nowadays.
After so much peace, these capable old generals are all getting old, and the middle-aged people lack experience. Among the younger generation, there is a brilliant and talented man named Liu Feng.
