Among them there were many who could not even recognize a few big characters, let alone being completely ignorant of this war.

All they knew was that the court had increased taxes again and forced them to hand over the food rations they had, but they knew nothing else.

However, those officials in high positions only knew how to oppress and exploit the common people. Some even colluded with the Western barbarians to cruelly oppress the common people.

The defeat in this battle caused opium to flow into the country more and more rampantly. The trend of opium smoking has spread. From kings and nobles to farmers in the countryside, everyone has been deeply addicted and cannot extricate themselves. It is probably hopeless to ban it!

"Dear father, I beg you not to buy rice anymore. We have no money to buy rice!"

A woman's sad voice was heard in the distance, and a woman in rough cloth was seen kneeling on the ground with tears on her face, begging the person in front of her.

"What do you know, you bitch? If you try to stop me again, I'll sell you out too!"

However, the man had a ferocious look on his face. He kicked her to the ground with one kick, and then mercilessly swept away all the valuables in the house and walked away.

Such situations happen every day, and almost every family with a little savings will be contaminated by these harmful substances.

. . . . .

However, it is regrettable that the emperor passed away with a heart full of resentment and helplessness, and his forbearance was of no avail.

At the same time, the lives of ordinary people became even worse. As a large amount of imported foreign goods flooded into the domestic market like a tide, ruthlessly impacting local industries, people's livelihoods became increasingly difficult.

Hua Ningyao watched all this with great concern. She found that people's physical condition was getting worse and worse, and each generation was worse than the previous one.

Not only did they become increasingly thinner and shorter, but many of them were also deeply harmed by opium, which made it impossible for them to have children normally.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed. I saw a foreigner talking to a man.

Judging from the foreigner's dress, he must be a missionary. After hearing what the man said, the missionary was stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He was obviously amazed that the man was able to see the God they believed in.

"So, does he speak English or Chinese?"

The man was silent for a moment, then answered calmly and composedly.

"Our God, of course, speaks Chinese."

When the missionary heard this, he suddenly felt dissatisfied and tried hard to refute it.

After all, such things have never been mentioned in their doctrines and traditional concepts, so he spoke anxiously.

"But our Lord never mentioned that there was such a brother as you, and you have never appeared in any relevant records!"

Faced with the missionary's questioning, the man remained calm and composed, as if he had already expected such a response.

"One of our people, a man named Meng, once said that it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely. Everything else he said was nonsense, but this one sentence is the truth."

Missionary: The other party threw a compressed package at me...

"I have been to heaven. Why don't you believe me? Because you have never been to heaven."

missionary:???

. . . . . .

This is the man who attempted to overthrow the court! This man was so arrogant that he even proclaimed himself the second son of God.

His sophistry is jaw-dropping: since you cannot prove that what I said is false, then you can naturally conclude that everything I said is true.

Looking back to the past, he had great ambitions and was eager to become the top scholar. However, fate played tricks on him and he failed the examination for three consecutive times...

From then on, he collapsed mentally, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. After returning home, he fell ill and never got up. However, just after that serious illness, a miracle happened!

He woke up and claimed that he met an old man with blond hair, blue eyes and a sage-like appearance in his dream, and was given a magical sword, which asked him to subdue demons and save the people.

From that moment on, he claimed to be the second son of God, as if he had been blessed by supreme divine power.

Then, he did something astonishing—he smashed the tablet enshrining the saint to pieces without mercy.

Later, relying on the prestigious title of "Second Son of God", he successfully recruited a group of loyal followers.

He held high the banner of "One World, One Family, All Peace Under Heaven" and founded the "God Worshipping Society". From then on, a vigorous rebellion movement began.

In addition, the people at that time were living in misery and had long been dissatisfied with the court, and they longed for a force to overthrow the existing rule.

As a result, with the strength of this group of people alone, they were able to inflict repeated setbacks on the imperial army and cause it to retreat step by step.

Before long, they successfully established their country, determined the location of their capital, and formulated relevant legal systems.

This important news quickly spread far and wide, and even reached the Holy See at the time... The Pope was greatly surprised.

. . . . . .

Immediately afterwards, they quickly dispatched personnel to conduct an investigation. However, when those responsible for the investigation arrived at the scene and heard the relevant situation, they were shocked!

What? The God they believed in actually had a second son? This news was like a thunderbolt, instantly triggering a heated debate.

At that time, the Vatican naturally firmly denied the existence of this so-called second son.

But what's the harm? After all, for the second son, the Pope and others are just his father's stewards. Even if the other party does not recognize him, it is meaningless. As long as he is willing to recognize the other party...

"Oh, big brother, you have no children? Why don't you let me adopt my son to him?"

One day, the second son suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had no children, so he decisively decided to adopt his son to his eldest brother and changed his name to Hong Tianguifu.

Hua Ningyao:......

At this time, the dynasty was in a precarious situation and was once again subjected to fierce attacks from foreign powers. It was forced to sign more unequal treaties that were humiliating and detrimental to the country.

Of course, nowadays they have already learned how to comfort themselves. Faced with such difficulties, they simply comfort themselves in a programmed way: don't worry, be patient for now, and when the time is right, then fight back vigorously.

. . . . . .

The good times did not last long, and another emperor died. However, the man who claimed to be the second son of God ultimately failed.

Then, the woman who wanted to become the next empress ascended the throne of empress dowager and firmly controlled the government power...
