Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 80 Crazy Beyblade Warrior!
[The banner of "revenge" has been decided! ]

[However, the concept of "revenge on the ruling class for the people of the world" is ultimately too abstract for me personally, so you're actually worried that these old men won't understand...]

After all, even in later times, when the average quality of life was far higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many people who didn't understand the concept of "class struggle"... Most people just shouted slogans, but when they actually put it into practice, it was as outrageous as it could be!

[But to your surprise, these old thieves actually understood...]

"This is easy! Isn't this what we did when we followed King Chuang?"

Li Laiheng smiled lightly: "Distribute the landlords' fields, seeds, and cattle to their tenants, distribute the rich merchants' silver and grain to the people whose families have been broken up, drag the princes and generals out of their luxurious houses and behead them..."

"I've never considered your idea of ​​revenge before, but we've all done it ourselves!"

[You were stunned: It seems... indeed.]

As the saying goes, theory comes from practice. Although the bandits had not read the theoretical books of later generations, they were typical practical people. They basically did everything they were supposed to do. The spirit of struggle was already ingrained in them.

[Now that I've heard your professional theories, it's like a seasoned Taoist priest who's been stuck at a bottleneck and can't make any progress suddenly hearing the true words of the great Dao. A breakthrough has come naturally!]

[They had previously done so out of righteous indignation and the Emperor's military orders... but now, they were shifting the blame for the Emperor's defeat and death from the Divine Emperor to the vested interests of the entire Ming Dynasty.]

[The Divine Emperor is naturally the number one enemy, but his minions are no good either, so everyone from top to bottom is his enemy.]

This turn was very natural, because it was already like this. You didn't impose any hatred on them, but simply pointed out all the targets of hatred... That's enough!

【…】

[In the 48th year of Chongzhen's reign, at the age of five, you purchased the title of Juren (a scholar) with 100,000 taels of silver, and subsequently legally acquired tyrannical divine power!]

[Afterwards, you did not continue to pursue the imperial examinations as in your previous life, but instead were content to be a "country squire" in your hometown in northern Shaanxi...]

This made the Governor Liu Yizhao, who had been keeping an eye on you, breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid you would be greedy and take the Jinshi exam right after buying the Juren title.

[After all, buying and selling official titles is ultimately illegal. If you buy official titles in your local area, Liu Yizhao can still cover it for you, but if you overestimate your abilities and go to Beijing to take the exam, you will be in trouble!]

"A five-year-old scholar, it would be strange if the court wasn't curious! If they really found out anything, those mad-dog censors would definitely use this to their advantage and make him pay for it!"

[So, seeing you staying back home so well and sensibly, Old Liu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "This 100,000 taels is really not easy to earn. The risk is too high..."]

[Remember this, kid! This is a huge favor from me, Old Liu!]

Old Liu said this with emotion.

[Of course, you don't know the governor's feelings, because you are trying your own divine power experiment...]

[As a "juren lord," you naturally have all sorts of privileges, such as being able to legally run rampant in the countryside with a bunch of lackeys!]

[However, unlike other successful candidates, the "society" you founded doesn't engage in any illegal activities. Instead, it is dedicated to doing good things for the people of your village...]

[For example, he would bring a group of muscular old men to severely whip the landlords who collected high rents, forcing them to collect less rent and taxes from the tenants!]

[For example, bringing a group of muscular old men to inflict the ultimate insult on some village bullies, forcing them to mend their ways!]

[For example, with a group of muscular old men, they would strike hard at the bandits entrenched in the mountains. Those who didn't kill anyone would be recruited and severely reformed, while those who did kill someone would be killed with a single blow!]

[Child traffickers will be beaten to death wherever they are caught!]

Master Zhou beat all the evildoers to their knees, surely to force them to mend their ways!

[As a result, your reputation in Mizhi County suddenly became very popular. People everywhere were discussing your achievements and goals: What exactly do you want to do?]

[The world today is a mess, with corrupt officials running rampant at the top and local gentry and landlords committing crimes at the bottom. There are both mountain bandits and village tyrants, and hooligans. Everywhere you look, there is darkness!]

"Under such circumstances, it's truly rare to find a master willing to do good deeds... Especially a five-year-old prodigy like you. Everyone thought you were just fooling around, but they didn't expect you to actually be doing good deeds for everyone!"

[What are your intentions?] [Countless people are wondering: Some think you are too young to become a bad person, and you will become a bad person when you grow up.]

Some people also think you're marketing your image. After all, while a juren can become an official, the chances are slim. So you might be using this to gain fame and increase your chances of being appointed an official.

Only a small number of people who directly benefit from your kindness truly believe that you want to do good for everyone!

[Of course, no matter what everyone thinks, their attitude towards you is surprisingly consistent: support!]

[Whether you're invited for fame, or because you're too young, or simply because you're a genuinely good person, as long as you're truly doing good things, everyone will be happy and hope you'll do more.]

This is what it means to judge a gentleman by his deeds, not his heart...

[And while you are standing up for everyone, you are also very happy! ]

[Because you not only did a lot of good things for everyone within your ability, but also verified your conjectures and theories...]

"Sure enough, as long as you believe you're committing revenge and violence, your tyrannical divine power will grow!"

"Furthermore, whether it's me or anyone else, we can increase our divine power through revenge and violence... The increase of divine power isn't a privilege reserved for me and the Divine Emperor, but a privilege granted to all who possess divine power!"

Having just whipped another landlord into a spinning top, you can't help but put down the copper-headed leather belt in your hand with relief...

[You can clearly feel that with this "revenge," the divine power in your body is gradually increasing. Although the increase is not much, it is still increasing!]

The other thieves also stopped spinning their tops with relief. They ignored the unconscious landlord and his wife and children, who were terrified by the violence. They only reported to you respectfully with beaming faces.

"Master! It really has gone up again!"

"Master, we think we can find a few more spinning tops to play with... There's a landlord named Ai to the west. If you ask, we'll parade him through the streets!"

"Gah! That's awesome! Getting this kind of comfortable spinning top is worth the money even if I die!!!"

"Quack! Master, please give your orders..."

Among a group of crazy magnetic field frogs, Li Laiheng is the craziest one... Ever since this old man gained divine power, his combat power has become incredibly strong, and his mental state has also increased in tandem with his combat power.

[For example, right now, when the other bandits were still clamoring for the spinning top, Old Man Li already had a fierce look on his face: "Master! Just beating people up won't give us enough power. Why don't we kill a few more! Just like we killed those bandits a few days ago..."]

[Brothers! The situation is urgent now. Let's kill all the local tyrants and evil gentry!]

Upon hearing this, before you could even open your mouth, the landlord lying next to you pretending to be dead suddenly flipped over and, ignoring the burning pain, kowtowed profusely, tears and snot streaming down his face as he cried, "Please spare me! Please spare me! I will never collect rent again. I will give all the deeds and houses to the tenants! Spare me! Spare me!"

[And when he started crying, his wives and children also started crying and begging for mercy. The noise was so pitiful!]

Li Laiheng was already filled with murderous intent, and now the noise further provoked him. His expression immediately turned displeased, and he stared bloodshot eyes at the landlord's family who were wailing non-stop...

【"stop!"】

Seeing that your mission of punishing evil and promoting good was about to turn into a murder of an entire family, you frowned and immediately stopped the murderous Li Laiheng!

[Although Li Laiheng was a bit crazy, he still understood what people said. So after you clearly forbade him, he reluctantly put aside his murderous intentions...]

"Old Li, there's something wrong with you!"

Your brows are still furrowed as you look at Li Laiheng, who's clearly in a bad state, and the other thieves, all of whom are somewhat frantic. After a moment's thought, you decide to put your monster-killing and leveling-up efforts on hold for now.

[Because you suddenly realized that you seemed to have overlooked a problem from the beginning...]

[“Brutal divine power…Brutal…”]
