Chapter 5 is exciting

Ding, system prompt: If the members of the chat group believe that the host is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to remain in the elementary group. They can either be kicked out, with their memories erased, or the host can pull members into the work group, which will require spending 500 achievement points

Fortunately, Gao Yingyuan had not experienced much of the world, unlike Chen Er and Han Wu, who were quite shrewd. Therefore, he did not suspect anything else and honestly replied: "Yes, otherwise on such a cold day, who would come out to hunt, especially with the possibility of encountering the imperial army!"

Hu Guang was left speechless; wasn't this just stating the obvious? Did he really spend 50 achievement points to bring someone in just to waste it like this

However, my current achievement value is zero, and I cannot activate that workgroup. It seems that for the time being, I can only proceed this way!

As it stands now, without achievement points, it is impossible to activate the workgroup, and thus one cannot verify their identity and further effectively utilize the advanced application.

If it had been earlier, Hu Guang might not have cared about this achievement value, thinking that the chat group was of little use. However, unexpectedly joining a high-level member allowed him to obtain important information, which gave him a new understanding of the chat group and made him eager to gain more achievement points to add more members

He is also inexperienced; with such a question, an ordinary person would definitely be on guard and might not be able to elicit any information at all

After speaking, he pressed the offline button, and the entity known as Pudu Zhongsheng became offline in the chat group. At that moment, he heard a "ding" sound, followed by the cold electronic female voice saying: "Triggering daily task..."

Second brother said, we are in Cao's camp but our hearts are with Han. Among us three, apart from on the battlefield, we have not killed a single Han person! Those Jurchens treat us worse than those Mongol Tatars...

Moreover, such an incomprehensible matter would not be believed even if one were to speak of it. If it were not for the system stating that this is a technological product, artificially created, one might truly think it was possessed by a ghost

In this way, it is impossible for any normal person in later generations to express such sentiments, just as it is with regard to this Gao Yingyuan.

He was unaware that Gao Yingyuan, Chen Er, and the others, after being classified as Han army banners in the original history, communicated with the court and the general Heiyunlong, who was captured during this battle in the capital region, each on one side with his father, secretly relaying messages, ultimately aiding Heiyunlong in escaping back to the Ming Dynasty in 1636

"Who wants to serve the Jin if one can live well? If there is the slightest inconvenience, they beat us Han people who have sought refuge; if we die, it is just our misfortune, and the Jurchens have nothing to do with it. Tell me, if one could survive, if the imperial army could show some competence, who the hell would want to live like this?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang pondered for a moment and then replied directly: "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

There is a chat group in my mind that cannot be disclosed to anyone. That system has issued a warning that even a hint of it being revealed will lead to annihilation

Hu Guang was thinking this way, while Gao Yingyuan was also taken aback; he did not expect such a response. After a while, he said with dissatisfaction, "I am still the great Khan of the Golden Dynasty! You are being too unreasonable; I have been honest with you, yet you still deceive me!"

Hu Guangzheng was a bit tired from scolding, and suddenly being shouted at like this left him momentarily stunned, causing him to fall silent

"Good, very good!" Hu Guang exclaimed loudly in his mind. The previously unsolvable problem finally showed a glimmer of hope upon hearing this news

At this point, he felt that his words were inappropriate, so he added: "The Great Jin army entered the pass merely to plunder. The supplies they brought, combined with what they seized along the way, are hardly sufficient to sustain them. They can only feed their Jurchens and some Mongol Tatars, while we unfortunate Han people have to reduce our rations by half, and we cannot even fill our stomachs! Therefore..."

Upon hearing this, he was moved in his heart, and immediately felt great joy, quickly confirming: "Are you in the capital region?"

Hu Guang momentarily could not think of how to respond, so he could only say: "Let's chat later"

When Hu Guang was about to say something, he heard Gao Yingyuan continuing to vent the long-standing grievances he had been harboring: "On such a cold day, the Jurchens and Mongolian Tartars are hiding in their camps, yet they expect us, the vassal Han people, to go out hunting for food, suffering like this..."

Listening to Gao Yingyuan speak excitedly, Hu Guang was momentarily speechless. Are ordinary people required to serve the enemy even at the cost of their lives? This is nonsense

This made Gao Yingyuan very grateful, but the person in his mind was still scolding him, which ignited a surge of anger from the depths of his heart. Suddenly, he shouted to interrupt, "Who do you think you are, just knowing how to scold others!"

As a novice emperor, the host aims to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. The so-called future is bright, but the path is winding, requiring the host to make continuous efforts to reach the destination. Therefore, whenever the host earns the admiration of others, leaves them speechless, or causes them to feel astonished or to regard the host with new eyes, it indicates that the host has made progress, and this system will reward achievement points. The amount of achievement points awarded each time varies depending on the abilities and status of the individuals involved.

As a person who has traveled from the future, his thoughts are primarily centered on the common people paying taxes and serving, fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations. Any additional responsibilities and obligations can only be encouraged rather than demanded

Gao Yingyuan was a bit surprised, not understanding why this person was so happy. At this moment, he had already chatted quite a bit and felt somewhat familiar, so he was no longer so timid. Moreover, from the sound of the voice, he sensed that this person was about the same age as himself, which further reduced his sense of restraint. Curiously, he asked in return: "Who are you? Why are you so happy when we are having such bad luck?"

As a person from a future where information is highly developed and who has an interest in history, one may not be able to recite the Thirty-Six Stratagems, but to engage in theoretical discussions akin to Zhao Kuo's empty talk is still indicative of a certain level of competence

Gao Yingyuan heard this, turned his head, and saw the deer’s tail disappearing behind the nearby woods. Realizing the situation, he immediately felt a deep sense of shame and said, "Brother Chen Er, I... I wasn't paying attention!"

The ineptitude of the court has forced these common people to rely on selling their ancestral heritage just to secure their most basic right to survive. This can only be said to be a failure of the court towards these citizens

Ah... is that so? What's the matter?" Gao Yingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then responded.

Hu Guang quickly followed up with another question: "You all came out to hunt, is it because you have run out of food?"

"Second brother, never mind, it is understandable for Yingyuan to be distracted at a young age. Let us both endure a little more hardship this time." The other person, named Han Wu, was quite magnanimous; after saying this, he disappeared into the woods

Later, Hu Guang suddenly felt a surge of respect from the depths of his heart; maintaining a sense of conscience in such an environment is indeed quite rare

The two soldiers of the Later Jin, who were closely pursuing the deer, saw him in this state. One of the older men could not help but shout angrily: "Gao Yingyuan, what are you dawdling for? The deer has already escaped. Do you want to face their whips or go hungry?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled a historical anecdote from the late Ming Dynasty, though he was unsure if it was fabricated by the Manchus, which questioned why those bandits did not stay at home and starve, but instead chose to come out and create chaos for the court
