Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

Chapter 72 Talk about Hongwu in those days

The name Hongwu made Cui Heng subconsciously think of the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty on Earth.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to it. Could it be that Hong Fugui changed his name?

But if it was Hong Fugui, how could the world become the Jin Dynasty today?

He failed?

Liu Litao and Xu Fengan thought that Cui Heng, as an outsider, had not heard about King Hongwu.

Hence this question.

After all, that was nearly three hundred years ago.

It's been too long.

Moreover, after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the affairs of the previous dynasty were strictly controlled, and naturally fewer people knew about it.

As of now, not to mention ordinary people, even the county magistrate may not know about it.

That is to say, one of them is an official to the county guard, and the other is the top of the sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, so they have some understanding.

So, the two of them looked at each other, both wanting to answer Cui Heng's question, but neither of them could speak first.

Cui Heng saw what they were thinking, smiled gently and said, "Mr. Xu, please continue talking."

"Thank you, sir." Xu Fengan saluted first, and then told the story about the Hongwu Heavenly King, "According to the records of Yuhua Sword Pavilion, the Hongwu Heavenly King first appeared in the twelfth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty. , that is, two hundred and eighty-eight years ago...

"At the end of the Rebellion Dynasty, wars broke out all over the world, and there were countless rebel armies. At that time, King Hongwu was the leader of a rebel army, and he was a military attache who could manage a hundred people..."

In his description, the Hongwu King started as an ordinary military officer.

By accumulating military exploits, he gradually became a commander, military leader, and chamber lord. Until he married the daughter of the leader of the rebel army, he completely controlled an army of 100,000 people.

After taking control of the army, King Hongwu widely appealed to the people and gathered a huge number of people in a very short period of time. Within a few years, he had grown to a million soldiers, began to sweep the world, and was gradually revered as the King of Heaven.

The wars in the last years of the dynasty would inevitably affect all the major sects and families.

With the expansion of King Hongwu, the interests of some sects and aristocratic families were harmed.

As a result, the Zongmen family sent people to negotiate with him. After they failed to reach an agreement, they wanted to use force and even killed one of the sons of King Hongwu.

This resulted in a life-and-death feud, and King Hongwu began to hunt and kill martial arts people.

No famous family in the world has escaped.

Especially the Langya Wang family, they were the main culprits who killed the eldest son of King Hongwu. Facing an army of millions, no matter how strong their martial arts were, they were almost wiped out.

In the end, someone from the divine realm took action and took away several direct descendants of the Langya Wang family, thus saving a bloodline.

After that battle, many sects and aristocratic families completely understood that King Hongwu would not look at their faces at all.

As a result, countless sects and families united.

First, they discredited King Hongwu in public opinion, and at the same time, they also used their own power to raise an army.

He also sent experts to assassinate him many times.

This method of directly solving the root cause of the problem has been tried repeatedly by many sects and families.

But no one expected that King Hongwu would have a peerless magic weapon in his hands.

Just swiping the edge of the sword can kill a god!

Assassination and beheading are simply impossible to accomplish.

However, it was precisely because of these actions of the sect family that they completely angered King Hongwu.

He personally ordered to kill all the gods in the world, no matter what sect or sect they were, they would all be killed!

This triggered an unprecedented martial arts catastrophe.

"That's it?"

Cui Heng frowned slightly after hearing this.

Judging from Xu Feng'an's description, it seems that King Hongwu is just a more powerful leader of the rebel army.

He doesn't look like Hong Fugui at all.

That's not all Hong Fugui learned from him.

After Xu Fengan finished telling what he knew about King Hongwu, he saw Cui Heng falling into deep thought.

This made him a little confused and a little nervous. He instinctively felt that he might have said something wrong, but he couldn't figure out where he said it wrong.

"The King Hongwu mentioned by Mr. Xu is actually not comprehensive." At this moment, Liu Litao suddenly spoke, with a hint of reverence in his tone, "To be precise, that is just King Hongwu in the eyes of the martial arts sect.

"Actually, the true power of King Hongwu does not lie in his military strength, nor in the magic weapons in his hands, but in his thoughts, his military and administrative concepts.

"During the first hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court strictly prohibited anyone from reading any information related to King Hongwu. They were afraid of those thoughts. That is, because of the turmoil in the world in recent years, there were no restrictions."

As he talked, a smile appeared on his face, a smile full of admiration, "I usually like to read some leisure books, so I know more things.

"In fact, as long as you carefully study the history of King Hongwu, you will find that he is different from all the rebel leaders, and even all the emperors and generals throughout the ages.

“There has never been any emperor or general who truly stood with the people and the people like him, let alone an army that never robbed the people of money and food, never molested women, and even paid for food requisitions.

"There has never been an army that did not win over the sects and aristocratic families, did not seek their support, but instead specifically targeted them, suppressed them, or even killed them, and then distributed the land and property to ordinary people.

"There has never been an army that took the world as its own mission, that even the most ordinary soldiers knew what they were fighting to protect, and that would not retreat even if the entire army was killed.

"King Hongwu attacked the powerful martial arts families not because of his own personal hatred, but to take back the people's livelihood and industries that affected the people all over the world from these powerful forces.

"Only when people's livelihood and industries are no longer under the control of these sects and aristocratic families, will it be possible for the common people to live a stable life and kill all the gods in the world. It is also for this purpose..."

When it came to the matter about King Hongwu, Liu Litao seemed to have opened up a chat box and talked a lot one after another.

The words were full of admiration and even adoration.

The eyes are shining.

This may be related to his own experience.

Liu Litao knew that he was a timid person who lacked courage. He always wanted to protect himself when encountering difficulties and did not dare to charge forward.

Therefore, while serving as the governor of Lu County, he did not dare to break up with the various sects and families.

We can only barely save the people in this area, so that they can live in peace and not go hungry.

But the more this happened, the more he admired King Hongwu.

What kind of courage and what kind of mind?

Can he shine so brightly in the last years of an apocalyptic dynasty?

After listening to everything Liu Litao said, Xu Fengan fell silent.

Perhaps it was due to different stances, or perhaps it was due to the restrictions of the former Jin Dynasty.

The Yuhua Sword Pavilion's record of the Hongwu Heavenly King is indeed too one-sided.

"So this is ah."

Cui Heng whispered softly, seeming to be a little emotional.

Then, he fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

After a while.
