Chapter 364: General Yinlei
However, the thunder and fire talismans she cast had no substantial killing power, they only had the effect of boosting power and manifesting miracles, or perhaps this was the original function of this type of talismans.
The thunder is loud but the rain is small. The explosion is scary but actually it can't kill anyone.
It would be extremely difficult to succeed in a rebellion with a group of hungry and skinny rebels, so she needed something more lethal, such as... a high-tech device that could bang bang bang.
A Taoist priest who cannot make gunpowder is not a time traveler.
Just as the system said, out of a hundred time travelers, eighty of them like to make gunpowder and play with high technology, and the remaining twenty either don't know how to make it or don't have the conditions to make it.
Bai Lan felt the same way. After all, Du Jie said that she was not allowed to use magic, but she didn't say that she was not allowed to use gunpowder guns, right? She just happened to have the conditions to make them, and she could even make them in batches!
"Host, are you here to survive the catastrophe, or to play a simulated rebellion game..." The system looked at Bai Lan who was carefully adjusting the gunpowder ratio in front of it, with a complicated expression: "Is this really still a script for cultivating immortals?"
Bai Lan didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "Since you are walking in the mortal world as a mortal, you should follow your heart and act according to your own ideas."
System: "...To be honest, you have always been very free to do whatever you want, and it seems to have nothing to do with your mortal body."
"I can't survive the tribulation while being chased by others. I'm unlucky enough in the cultivation world. It's so embarrassing to be chased by imperial soldiers here. What's more, it was the imperial court that wanted me first. I was just acting in self-defense."
Well, the host has always been so free, as long as she is happy.
"Ascending to become an immortal, or unifying the world, these two words seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they have a unique appeal to a certain type of people, such as me." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he suddenly raised the black fire stick in his hand.
Then lift up, aim at the system, and aim.
“Hey hey hey!!” The system was startled and flew behind Bai Lan: “Don’t point this thing at me, it’s scary.”
"From now on, you are no longer a cannon fodder, you are my staff." Bai Lan put down the fire stick in his hand, looked at the system, and said firmly: "If I can't unify the world in this tribulation, my Tao heart will be unstable."
Years of drought left the people with no harvest, but the court still forced them to pay taxes. Natural and man-made disasters occurred simultaneously, and famine triggered riots in various places. The people's dissatisfaction with the court had reached its peak.
At this time of chaos in the world, Bai Lan only needs to package himself as the man destined by heaven, the one favored by the immortals, recruit a large number of believers, cultivate his reputation, and then recruit believers and form an army.
Of course there were difficulties during that period, but for Bai Lan, any difficulty that could be solved by force was not a difficulty. So in less than a few months, the first rebel army led by Bai Lan successfully revolted in a small county.
Under the leadership of Bai Lan, the hungry insurgents, in order to have a full meal, killed the corrupt officials hiding in the county government office like crazy, forcing them to flee in panic. Thus, they won the first battle.
The rebels occupied cities and expanded territories. From then on, their power spread rapidly like a raging fire, and gradually attracted many talented people to join the rebels and conspire with them for the great cause.
Bai Lan only needed to wave the talisman in front of the two armies and then shout: "Thunder God, help me!"
The moment the talisman was ignited by fire, a loud bang was heard in the sky. Even though the sound of thunder only lasted for a moment, it greatly boosted the morale of the resisting soldiers.
But to mortals, this technique of rubbing hands to make thunder can be considered a magical skill.
Bai Lan was responsible for leading the troops to kill in the front, while the system acted as her aide in handling internal affairs in the rear.
One is a ruthless man who can rush into the enemy army with only a horse and a gun to take the head of a general; the other is a robot that can handle affairs without sleep for a month. They have become the soul of the rebels.
With Bai Lan, the undefeated general, around, the war was invincible. In less than a month, the rebel army captured more than ten cities of the imperial court, shocking the whole world.
Bai Lan was gradually given the titles of the Ever-Victorious General and the Thunder-Inducing General. It was rumored that she was an insurgent leader who could take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops. She was eight feet tall and looked like Mount Tai. Some people also said that she would eat several kilograms of meat in one meal. The rumors became more and more outrageous.
The imperial court panicked and sent troops to fight, but they were defeated every time and didn't want to fight again.
The reputation of General Yin Lei gradually overshadowed the power of the imperial court, and even the wanted order for Bai Lan clearly stated: Whoever takes her head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of marquis.
At this point, the situation was overwhelmingly in favor of the rebels, and they were only a short while away from victory.
In the first year of overcoming the tribulation, Bai Lan led his troops to fight everywhere, conquering cities and expanding his power. As the cities under Bai Lan's rule gradually became well-fed under the systematic governance, Bai Lan's reputation among the people became higher and higher. Many people even hoped that the rebels would come soon, and some even brought their families to join him.
In the third year of the tribulation, a trusted general around her was bribed by the court to assassinate her secretly, intending to destroy the soul pillar of the rebel army. Unexpectedly, the assassination failed and was killed by Bai Lan. Bai Lan, who is good at binding her subordinates with the oath of the inner demon, has always known that human nature cannot withstand the test, but when she was really betrayed once, her heart still hurt for a second.
In the fifth year of the tribulation, the imperial court had been fighting for a long time without victory, and the people in the court were in panic. The emperor had no choice but to send people to negotiate peace, intending to divide the world with Bai Lan and even willing to submit to him, but was cruelly rejected by Bai Lan.
In the tenth year of the tribulation, Bai Lan led his troops to attack the capital in one go, and the emperor surrendered. Thus, the old dynasty was destroyed and the world was unified.
It took ten years and three months from the day Bai Lan started her rebellion to finally achieve her original wish of unifying the world. Her mission was accomplished successfully and her Tao heart was solidified.
At this point, Bai Lan's ambition was no longer limited to being the leader of the rebel army. She had already reached the supreme position among mortals, so naturally she didn't mind taking one more step forward.
She holds the military power of the world. All the civil and military generals are those who have followed her to fight in all directions. They are all her confidants. The people also support her. She is a well-deserved successor.
No one had questioned the possibility of her ascending the throne. Even if some people questioned that there had never been a precedent for a woman becoming emperor, their voices were gradually drowned out by the wave of the establishment of the new dynasty, and no one cared.
Just based on Bai Lan's prestige, even if she turned into a turtle at this moment, they could treat turtles as sacred animals.
So, overnight, Bai Lan was dressed in a yellow robe and sat high on the dragon throne. People's way of addressing her changed from General Yinlei to Your Majesty.
