Chapter 636: Forcing the People to Death Captain Liu and Wang Dahai were terrified when they heard this below. To be honest, they didn't think these guys were that powerful at first. But now, after listening to what these three idiots said, he immediately felt that these guys were indeed quite capable. Great. And there seems to be some power in what they say, at least it immediately captures the hearts of ordinary people. Know what these ordinary people really need. Know what these ordinary people are afraid of. I even know what these ordinary people value most. It seems that the lives of ordinary people are quite hard now. What do they value most? What matters to me is that my life won’t be so hard in the future. What matters most is whether I can make my life at least a little bit better.

Or in other words, it is to allow your descendants to live a little better so that there will be no regrets. This is what they are grasping now, this guy is still very powerful. Be it relying on dreams from gods or so-called communication, it all comes down to one sentence: we have grasped what these ordinary people are afraid of. What the common people are actually afraid of is just what Niao Mao said just now. What I’m afraid of is not having a good home. They hope to ascend to heaven after their death, and they hope to find a good position for their family after their death. They hope that they can at least have a good future for their families in the future, even if they die. This is the first point that these guys caught the common people. This is very vicious. This viciousness directly grasps a major pain point of the common people, and it can be said that this pain point cannot be changed. After seeing this, Captain Liu and Wang Dahai knew that they could no longer sit idly by. If we just sit back and do nothing, we would be letting these guys go. It's really pitiful that these guys used these so-called gods to turn the common people into this state. The common people have not offended anyone and have not done anything bad, but just because they believed what these guys said and did, they were able to use this method to deal with the common people. This is really too unfair. And these guys seem to have no bottom line. Knowing that the common people were unarmed, they dared to instigate them to fight against the Ming soldiers who were armed to the teeth. In this way, all the work will be pushed onto the Ming soldiers. If there are casualties among the people in the future, they can directly say that these people were killed by the people of the Ming Dynasty. This will form a vicious cycle, and the Ming Dynasty will have more and more enemies in the future, until it is endless. Could the Ming Dynasty really kill all the common people here for the sake of its own rule? This is unrealistic.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai now think that these guys are really vicious. The sinister intentions made Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai realize that if this group of guys were not eradicated, they would definitely cause greater harm in the future. So Captain Liu gave Wang Dahai a look, and Wang Dahai immediately retreated quietly. He wanted to gather all the people, more than 300 of them, to surround them, and soon they would be captured all. At this time, the three Niaomaos and a few others in the temple were still very excitedly persuading the people to oppose the Ming Dynasty. "Now these people from the Ming Dynasty have come to our territory to show off their power. What do they rely on? They rely on the so-called muskets and cannons in their hands, which are indeed very powerful. "But we have the protection of our gods. We don't fight them head-on. We only sabotage them behind the scenes. "We just want them to no longer be able to live in peace. We even have to let them know that the people of Mandala City are not so easy to bully. “They bullied the people of Mandala City, so we have to make them pay the price. "Since these guys are so powerful in public, we have to follow the instructions of the gods and sabotage them in secret." As they spoke, the others also stood up and said, "Master, please command us immediately. We can't wait any longer. We want to fight them right away. We want to drive them away right away. We want to restore our Mandala City right away." As he said this, he turned around and looked at the common people present, and said to them, "I think you all want to do this. Our Mandala City is still a prosperous place. Under the blessing of our gods, we live and work in peace and contentment. “But some people say that we are being oppressed. I wonder where this oppression comes from? “No, although those landlords oppressed us, we were blessed by the gods and we did not suffer too much. “It’s impossible for those landlords to kill us all, so they can only become the targets of the gods’ surveillance. "We live well under the blessing of the gods, why do you say we are oppressed? No way." These people were of course the landlord's men, because after the landlord was killed by the Ming army, they knew that if they didn't find a good backer, they would surely die a miserable death in the future. The backers they have found now are these charlatans, and they also need some people to support them. These guys were all very sharp-tongued and had a deep hatred for the Ming army, so the two sides hit it off and immediately started the current scam. To be honest, they really don't care about money now, because money means nothing to them. The most important thing now is to use the common people here to drive away the Ming Dynasty army, so that they can regain control of the city of Mandala. Mandala City is indeed the most prosperous city besides the capital. If it can be controlled well, big business can be done in the future. They had already established connections with scattered pirates on the sea. As long as the pirates counterattacked immediately after the Ming army left, the local people would cooperate with the pirates as before. Afterwards, his own people will take over the territory of the former landlord and control all the people here as a market, then he will make a fortune in the future. The members of the cult think so too. How did they make their fortune in the past? Wasn’t it the trust of the common people? If the common people had more faith in the Ming Dynasty, then there would be no need for these individuals to exist. Therefore, they chose to cooperate with these guys because of their own interests. They agreed to drive the Ming army out of Mandala City. After hearing what those guys said, the common people fell into deep thought. To be honest, they didn't come here to go against the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they came here just like before, wanting to be protected by the gods. Of course, they also hope to use the gods to drive away the Ming Dynasty. Although they didn't know what the Ming Dynasty was going to do, they were so accustomed to a life controlled by a cult that they couldn't help but think about anything else.

They were afraid that if the Ming Dynasty came and detained them, it would be even more troublesome. Some people spread rumors among them, saying that those who trusted the gods would become targets of arrest in the Ming Dynasty. In the future, as long as the Ming Dynasty has established a firm foothold here, it will hunt down these people. That's why these people are afraid, but after all, they are just ordinary people and they don't have much hatred towards the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty rules the city of Mandala in the future, their losses will not be that great. So after hearing what the several shills said to the three bird feather masters, they fell into a dilemma. The several servants and the bird feathers could see the hesitation of the people. The second bird feather immediately said, "I know you are very hesitant now. You think your gods now hope for blessings from the gods, hope to drink holy water, and hope to have a better life in the future. That's all. "But now we want you to deal with the army of the Ming Dynasty. You must be wondering in your heart that this is a suicide mission." When the common people heard what the second master said, they immediately raised their heads. Their eyes have told the second master, we really think so, we are just ordinary people, how can we have the ability to deal with the army of the Ming Dynasty. You know, the landlords and city lords on the city wall were said to have been killed by a single cannon shot. How could ordinary mortals like us have the courage to deal with the army of the Ming Dynasty? Even though what you said just now is very true, some people can instantly become equal to gods after death. Even after death, your descendants will be protected. But people are afraid of death after all, so in this situation, of course, they must consider their own life safety first. The second master saw through himself and spoke loudly after he understood what these people were thinking, "Of course you can choose to avoid them, and of course you can choose to become obedient citizens under their rule. "You can of course choose to ignore everything and hide away. "The Ming Dynasty will be able to treat us the same way it did before. You think this is normal, just like a change of dynasty. A new king will come to power, and you can still live your life the same way." The common people did think so, but before they could say anything, they heard the second bird feather say, "But you forgot that no matter how many times the king of our country of Srivijaya changes, he is always a Srivijaya man. “But who is coming up now? "They are from the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty. You may not know that the Central Plains Dynasty has only one word for people from other countries - kill. “Don’t be fooled by their nice words, saying that they will treat you equally. We said that in the future, those who have ability can take the initiative to perform in the City Lord’s Mansion, and we will hire them at our discretion. "But you forgot why they were so nice to us, was it just because we were all good-looking? "Take a piss and take a photo of yourself. Do you deserve to be treated like this?" This is very hurtful, but it is very realistic. Just like he said, the Ming Dynasty must have something to gain. Why would they come here from afar just to let you live a good life together? Liu Baihu and Wang Dahai were listening below. They were very disdainful of this cult at first, but now they finally have a new understanding of this cult. Among the three birds, one was impulsive and the other was insightful. Especially the second one, Niaomao, so he deserves to die, but we have to admit that this guy is very good at eloquence, logical thinking, and even the ability to inspire people.

Just a few words can calm down the people who were a little restless just now. Even the common people who just didn't want to participate in this event are now eager to take part. He even deliberately exaggerated the threat of the Ming Dynasty to let the people know that if they followed the Ming Dynasty, they would be retaliated against. Even though the Ming Dynasty did not say so, they used the so-called empathy to separate the common people from the Ming Dynasty, which was a very clever method. Even though the common people were kneeling, they were trembling all over as they listened. At this time, they finally heard the third, thinner Niaomao speak. I had never heard him speak before. I only heard him muttering some so-called spells. Now I finally heard him say a word. He said slowly, "Please be patient, everyone. Just now when you were discussing, I received a little divine power from the gods. Just now, I had a conversation with the gods while I was in a trance." When the people below heard that they were talking to the gods again, they immediately knelt on the ground devoutly and began to sing. He even placed the flowering bamboo on his forehead and chanted devoutly. After finishing, the third bird feather slowly said: "The spirit has just said that he has heard your concerns and knows what you are thinking. "Since the Ming Dynasty's army is so powerful, why are they sending you to die? Is this a conspiracy? Are they deliberately sending you to die?" The common people all looked up at the third bird feather, who half-opened his eyes and said again: "Aren't you afraid of blasphemy when you say this?" The last few words were spoken with great emphasis, and when they were uttered they frightened the common people. Then I saw that guy's eyes were particularly stern, even full of anger. He pointed to the three jars of holy water beside him and said loudly: "Over the years, under the blessing of the gods, our Mandala City has not only been prosperous, but also very peaceful. "Whether it's pirates or the imperial army, our Mandala City can survive safely. What do we rely on? "Are you relying on those incompetent people in the Mandala City Lord's Mansion? Or are you relying on those local tyrants and landlords who bully you every day?" As soon as this sentence was uttered, it caused a great shock among the people. That's right, what does it rely on? It's not the city lord, it's not the landlords, it's the gods' blessing... (End of this chapter)
