Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 675: Chasing in the Central Plains ([-])
boom!
The thunderous roar of artillery was heard, cracks appeared in the city wall of Licheng, and the noble family slaves on the wall felt a little trembling under their feet.

"I have long heard that Yanlu is good at strange skills and prostitution, and does not practice the virtues of saints. Seeing you today, it is indeed so!"

The governor of Qizhou looked at the depression on the city wall and couldn't help frowning and sighing.

But he didn't know that during the Five Hu Southern and Northern Dynasties hundreds of years ago, Yan State was the center of Confucianism in the world. At that time, Confucianism in the Central Plains had already declined, and the real popular things in the Central Plains were Metaphysics/Taoism and Buddhism.

It was only from Xiao Yan in the Southern Dynasty that Confucianism began to be developed again in the Southern Dynasty. After Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Confucianism became an official school again. It was not until the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty that Confucianism became the most prominent school in the Central Plains again.

Today, Confucianism in the Yan Kingdom is beginning to decline against the background of the revival of the schools of thought, while Confucianism in the Central Plains is rejuvenated with the emergence of the unified dynasty.

Every time Confucianism rejuvenates, it will be different from the previous ones. It will be improved according to the needs of the actual situation, and the traditional Confucian ideas will be combined with the real situation of the Central Plains. This is called Confucianism with Tang characteristics.

For example, Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods did not have the idea of ​​great unification, but during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucian scholars added the idea of ​​great unification to their academic thinking in order to please the emperor.

In the current Tang Dynasty, Confucianism has undergone new changes, that is, it has absorbed some concepts of metaphysics and Buddhism, and even a little bit of Brahmanism has also been absorbed by Confucianism.

Metaphysics and Buddhism have been popular for hundreds of years. If Confucianism wants to be reborn, it can only absorb some metaphysics and Buddhism, otherwise it will be difficult to be accepted by the world.

In order to survive and adapt to the national conditions of Yan State, Confucianism in Yan State had to make changes, that is, on the basis of Confucius and Meng sages, the supreme saint, the holy god Wang Kang, was added.

In the concept of New Confucianism in Yan State, Wang Kang is the master of all saints, surpassing Yao Shunyu, Confucius, Mencius, and Dong Zhongshu Confucian saints, he is called the supreme saint!
From the nobles to the free citizens of Yan State, almost all are descendants of Wang Kang's blood. If the Confucianism of Yan State refuses to recognize Wang Kang's status as a holy god, then the people of Yan State will abandon Confucianism mercilessly.

It is your Confucianism that needs your ancestor Wang Kang, not your ancestor Wang Kang who needs your Confucianism!
Therefore, in order to survive, the Confucianists of Yan State could only add Wang Kang to the ranks of saints and put him above other saints.

Not only Confucianism made changes, but Legalism also made changes. The revived Legalists called Wang Kang the "King of Law" and surpassed Shen Buhai, Wu Qi, Li Kui, Shang Yang, Han Fei and others.

After the revival of the Yan Kingdom, Taoism also had to make changes according to the national conditions of the Republic, placing Wang Kang above Laozi. It was believed that Wang Kang's Taoist thoughts were closer to nature than Laozi, and were truly transcendent. They went further on the basis of Laozi's thoughts. .

But the one that fits the Republic the most is [Holy Teaching]. The Holy Teaching directly regards Wang Kang as the creator of the world, and believes that Wang Kang created the world. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Shang Yang, Sun Tzu, etc. Created by the World God Wang Kang.

"God loves the world, God created the Nine Realms, God is merciful to all beings, and God rules the world."

"God (Wang Kang) said, let there be light, so there was a sun in the sky."

"God (Wang Kang) said that there must be people, so Fuxi and Nuwa appeared in the world, and the brothers and sisters multiplied and gave birth to the whole human being."

"We are the descendants of God (Wang Kang), and the Central Plains people are the descendants of Fuxi and Nuwa, so we are more noble!"

After a day of continuous artillery bombardment, the walls of Licheng collapsed.

The Yan army was very disciplined and did not rush into the city to rob, but formed a square formation and slowly entered the city from the gap in the city wall.

The artillery continued to roar, covering the phalanx, and the gunners and archers in the phalanx also attacked the militiamen on the city wall.

Bang bang bang!
shhhhhh!
boom!
Pong!
At a critical moment, the governor of Qizhou came up with a plan. He ordered the family slaves of the gentry to slaughter nine roosters temporarily, and sprinkle the blood of the chickens on the gap in the city wall.

"Yanlu was transformed into a demon from outside the territory. I will use chicken blood to drive away the evil spirits, which will definitely scare Yanlu!"

However, the Yan army remained unmoved and continued to advance steadily, even shooting arrows at the gentry slaves.

The Yan army wore armor, and the arrows of the gentry slaves could not hurt the Yan army, but the gentry slaves wore commoner clothes, and after being shot by the Yan army's arrows, they suffered heavy casualties.

Just because you can't defeat the Tang Empire's regular army doesn't mean you can't defeat a group of noble family slaves like you!
Without the protection of the city wall, the morale of Licheng's defenders quickly collapsed. Looking at the Yan army's phalanx pressing on every step, someone has already taken the opportunity to escape.

When one person flees, others follow suit. Gradually, more and more people become deserters.

They were originally domestic slaves and had little fighting ability.

On the city wall, Wang Bo was watching the battle. When he saw the female officer in the Yan army crowd, he was stunned.

"is her?"

Wang Bo did not expect that Li Huamei, a pirate girl, would also go to the battlefield. In Yan Kingdom, men and women are really equal, and both men and women can go to the battlefield.

However, female soldiers are generally auxiliary soldiers, such as medical soldiers, engineers, logistics, cooks, and clerks.

Daily clerical tasks such as counting battlefield losses and seizures are often performed by female soldiers.

The reason why women are allowed to join the army is mainly because the population of the Republic is too small and the ratio of soldiers to civilians is very low. If women are not allowed to join the army, the size of the army will be small.

In fact, some nomadic tribes with sparse populations also allow women in the tribe to serve as soldiers because there are too few people and it is a last resort.

Li Huamei is just an ordinary female officer in the [-] Yan Army. The burly man in front of her is the commander-in-chief of the [-] Yan Army.

"kill!"

"There are only the governors of the Tang Dynasty who died in battle, and there are no governors of the Tang Dynasty who surrendered!"

The governor of Qizhou would rather die than surrender, and led the remaining dozens of officers and soldiers who did not escape, and rushed to the five hundred Yan army without thinking about their own lives.

Although he believes that the blood of the gods of the rivers and lakes exorcises evil spirits, this does not prevent him from being a spineless governor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Get ready!... Let it go!"

shhhhhh!
Bang bang bang!
Commander-in-chief of the Yan army, commanding the crossbowmen and firecrackers, shot at the officers and soldiers of the Tang army who were rushing.

In the Yan army's team, cold weapons and hot weapons are mixed, bows and crossbows occupy [-]%, and firecrackers occupy the second floor.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang army were very brave, and none of them retreated and fled, but how could flesh and blood be opponents of bows and firecrackers.

Dozens of officers and soldiers of the Tang army fell down, and the governor of Qizhou was also hit by a firecracker. He suffered from chest cramps and fell to the ground to die.

"Surrenders don't kill!"

Until this moment, Yan Jun rushed into the city boldly and shouted to the people in the city:

"Surrenders don't kill!"

"Surrenders don't kill!"

But at this moment in the city, the people panicked and fled towards another city gate. Even Wang Bo's family fled towards another city gate - the west gate in a carriage.

However, when he saw that the Yan army began to organize a puppet army in the city and use the puppet army to control the people in the city, Wang Bo decided...
