The first task of Chapter 4
However, the system did not respond. After a while, he finally came to his senses and had no choice but to say again: "System, confirm!"
Emperor Chongzhen gazed at the rotating dial, contemplating as he watched the pointer gradually accelerate, then decelerate, ultimately pointing between the age of ten, free from worries, and twenty, without regrets
The system's emotionless voice continued to sound: "Open the novice gift pack, the host has obtained 50 achievement points!"
For him, it does not matter what area the pointer ultimately points to. Because he cannot imagine what kind of person would be helpful in the current situation if they were to join the chat group
The Jisi Incident saw the Jianlu forces invade the Ming Dynasty by taking a detour through Mongolia, resulting in a severe blow to the defense system of the Ming army in the capital region. Wherever the Jianlu passed, the common people suffered greatly, and various industries declined, further exacerbating the internal social conflicts within the Ming Dynasty. In the imperial court, factional struggles intensified, which also signified the gradual disintegration of the Ming's fortress advancement, economic blockade, and diplomatic alliance policies following this campaign, leading to a permanent loss of strategic initiative and accelerating the demise of the Ming Dynasty
There was no response. Just as Hu Guang was becoming somewhat impatient, a slightly reserved young voice spoke up: "I am nineteen years old this year, I am from Dongyibao near the Daling River in Jinzhou, my name is Gao Yingyuan. My father's name is Gao Dengxuan, my family is a military household, I have one older brother, two older sisters, and one younger brother, my brother is called..."
Cursing aside, Emperor Chongzhen obediently clicked the "Add Player" button. Immediately, a virtual spinning wheel appeared before his eyes
Indeed, he is a person who cannot be newer. Upon joining the chat group, when asked to introduce himself, he was able to recount his entire ancestry. If it were an old hand from later generations, there wouldn't be a single word of truth.
Fortunately, the system is not so foolish as to include ages from zero to nine, while it accommodates those over one hundred. Otherwise, I might as well just crash to my death! Hu Guang thought to himself, trying to find humor in his predicament, as he clicked the rotating button
Ding, a member has joined the chat group, please confirm whether to allow it
What the hell, is this interesting? Just say you got permission to add someone! Hu Guang was so angry that he started cursing again, with 50 achievement points, just enough to click the "Add Person" button to add one person to the chat group
System, save all beings! Hu Guang replied casually, restoring the Ming Dynasty, rescuing millions of people of the Ming, is it not the same as saving all beings?
Your sister, is there still a need to ask? Who developed such a foolish system! Emperor Chongzhen was extremely disappointed and became somewhat angry, unable to refrain from cursing.
However, this information was of no use to Hu Guang. Hearing him continue to talk about his older brothers and sisters, as well as his nephews and nieces, Hu Guang became somewhat impatient and directly interrupted him, asking: "How is the situation in your area with the Jurchen attacking the Ming? Have you been affected?"
The pointer ultimately points to the green area, which means that a teenager of around ten years old is about to join!
The icon for universal salvation is shaking, while the voice spreads among the members of the group. Of course, at present, there is only one person in the group, Gao Yingyuan.
Upon hearing this, Hu Guang suddenly came to his senses. Damn it, it turns out that this newly added person is actually a traitor! He was already troubled about how to complete his mission and felt disappointed with the system. The accumulated emotions suddenly erupted: "You traitor who eats from both sides, a lackey of the invaders, helping the barbarians kill our people, do you have any conscience? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs..."
Although he is not very familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he knows that during this time, the Jurchens were invincible in field battles against the Ming army, which could only shrink back and defend within the city walls. Now, there are a hundred thousand Jurchen troops outside; how can they be taught a lesson? Even the so-called most elite Guanning army cannot achieve this!
As soon as the words were spoken, a line of text appeared in the lower left corner of the chat group system: "Achievement Points: 50"
From the perspective of the uniform distribution of colors on the wheel, it seems that there are equal opportunities for both men and women. Does this imply gender equality?
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the host must minimize the losses caused by the recent invasion of the Jurchens into the capital region and mitigate the impact of this incident. A lesson must be taught to the Jurchens, making them understand that the Ming Dynasty is not a place they can invade at will or plunder as they please. This system will conduct a comprehensive evaluation at the end of this incident. Outstanding performance will receive two additional reward opportunities, good performance will receive one, satisfactory performance will earn one hundred achievement points, average performance will receive nothing, and poor performance will result in obliteration. The host is encouraged to strive for success!
Your sister, this would just be a young kid still in school in later generations, what use is that! It would be better to replace him with a seasoned elder in his fifties or sixties, who might be able to offer some advice! Hu Guang thought with disappointment, seeing this age group, he didn't even care about the gender anymore
Hu Guang was left speechless. Is it possible to teach a lesson to an army of 100,000 captives?
This system does not retaliate when insulted; it merely executes programs rigidly. It has lost its temper and speaks briefly, no longer wishing to waste words.
Hu Guang could not help but want to curse, but at that moment, regardless of what he was thinking, the system was methodically executing the program and said: "As per usual, a beginner's gift pack is being offered to the host. Would you like to open it?"
From the introduction, he appears to be a person from the border area where the Ming Dynasty is currently at war with the Jurchens, with a large number of siblings at home. It seems that he also possesses some financial resources, as it would be impossible to support so many people otherwise
This virtual roulette is similar to the lottery wheels that became commonplace in later generations. The wheel is divided into eight sections, each marked with "Ten years without worries, twenty years without regrets, thirty years to establish oneself, forty years without confusion, fifty years knowing the mandate of heaven, sixty years being agreeable, seventy years of ancient rarity, eighty years of frailty," representing ages from ten to eighty-nine. Each section is evenly divided into red and green colors, with red representing women and green representing men.
System, you are such a troublesome thing, isn't this just nonsense? Open it! Hu Guang said irritably
Based on the customs of later generations, with a mindset of treating a dead horse as if it were alive and a casual attitude of just chatting, Hu Guangxian spoke up: "Newcomers to the group, please introduce yourselves first, including your age, where you are from, and what you do, the more detailed the better"
In the wilderness, in a certain grove, a biting cold wind howled. A soldier of the Later Jin held a bow and arrow, hiding behind a tree, his face alternating between blue and white, watching in a daze as a deer, in a state of panic, ran past him without any reaction.
This ridiculous system, is this the feudal society or what? If I draw a female, I will not let this go!
You, this system, only provide me with a deserted chat group, and then give me such a daunting task. If I fail to complete it, I will be eliminated. Isn't this a direct way to self-destruction
With a "ding-dong" sound, two names appeared in the member list on the right side of the chat group. One was Pudu Zhongsheng, which referred to Hu Guang himself; the other was Gao Yingyuan, which could easily be guessed as the real name of the newly added person.
Ding, the host does not have a chat ID yet, please choose a name
"Establishing the Captives?" Gao Yingyuan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "You mean the Jin Dynasty! I, along with my second brother and fifth brother in the fortress, serve the Jin Dynasty, and since my Dongyi Fortress is quite remote, the Jin Dynasty has not troubled us..."
