Of course the church has ways to incite low-level civilians, but before Ye Zan and the others came, the Dawn Church was no longer a "pure" religion. When Bartley and others were originally in the small world, even though they had overthrown the orc rule, they were still not good at understanding the thoughts of the people at the lowest level.
However, Ye Zan does have a lot of information for reference. In the world of science and technology, there have been many so-called "peasant uprisings" in the history of ancient China alone. Regardless of whether those "peasant uprisings" were really peasant uprisings, they had many loud slogans on how to incite the common people at the bottom.
The inciting effect of these six words on the common people, "attack the local tyrants and divide the land," has been completely proven by history.
Although the productivity level of this Dawn World is similar to that of the Monastic World, its political system is still lagging behind the feudal system, or should be said to be "semi-feudal and semi-slavery."
The main reason for this is the nobles, especially the descendants of wizards who come to enjoy the blessings. Since we are here to enjoy happiness, no one wants to have to accept all kinds of restrictions. Even if they only control a small territory, they prefer to remain relatively independent rather than letting others dictate what they do.
Therefore, the territories controlled by these nobles are more like independent small kingdoms, and the king is just a big lord "selected" by them. The people in their territory are actually like their slaves. Their lives and status may be better than those of typical slaves, but in the end, the benefits are limited.
In fact, if we follow the normal laws of social development, the "semi-feudal and semi-slavery" system like Dawn World should have been eliminated long ago.
However, the topmost building is in the hands of powerful wizards! Wizards don't care about what's best for the civilians or what's best for the world. They only care about what is best for themselves. After all, this is just a small colony.
And what Ye Zan wants to do now is actually no different from those wizards. No matter what happens to this world and the people in this world, he just needs to get the origin of the world over.
If you want to incite war, people will definitely die, and countless innocent people will definitely die in the war.
But, so what!
You know, people in the Dawn World are still a world away from Ye Zan.
What's more, even in the technological world, are there still few people who start wars for their own interests
Ye Zan does not have a noble Virgin Heart, but he is not either a Virgin or a devil as the "dualists" think. The absence of a Virgin Heart does not mean that he must be so cold-blooded and ruthless. Like most people, he only cares about the places he sees and the people he recognizes. Other than that, he always puts interests first.
This is also why Ye Zan did not kill people and kill entire families at every turn like some people did. To put it bluntly, the reason was that it was "not in the interest".
With Ye Zan's current power, it would not be a big deal to destroy those who had offended him in the past, such as the Taiyi Sect and the Star Sect. However, apart from letting him relieve his previous grievances, what practical benefits would there be from doing that? There is also the Dragon Clan, which was really allowed to be slaughtered by him at the beginning, but in the end, didn't they still "value peace"
Therefore, regarding the issue of Dawn World, Ye Zan does not have any regrets about the things he has planned. In the final analysis, the first thing he has to consider is his own interests, and he must be worthy of his own people first.
"Ye, we have already read the information you gave us and made some plans based on it. Come and see if there is anything that needs improvement." After receiving the information given by Ye Zan, Bartley and others It took two days to study and the results of the study were quickly produced.
"Well, it's not bad. There's nothing that needs to be changed. Just follow this." Ye Zan briefly looked through the plan and made a decision with satisfaction.
The plan of Bartley and others is actually quite simple to say the least, with the core of "attacking the local tyrants and dividing the land." Of course, in the world of Dawn, it should be said that "beating the nobles and dividing the fields", after all, most of the farmers here are like slaves.
Moreover, there is another convenience on the church’s side, which is “religion.”
You must know that in the ancient Chinese country in the world of science and technology, many peasant uprisings involved the use of "religion" to a greater or lesser extent. Things like "One eye of the stone man stirs up rebellion in the Yellow River and the world", and "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the world will be prosperous at the age of sixty". In the final analysis, they all use the inciting power of religious beliefs to people.
Now, the Church of Dawn is in the hands of Ye Zan. Relying on the influence of the church on the lower class people, coupled with the slogans of "beat the nobles, divide the fields, and make the peasants stand up and sing". It is basically difficult for civilians whose lives are very difficult to resist such temptation.
Of course, in terms of specific implementation, it is definitely not just slogans.
The plan of Bartley and others is still very detailed. At the beginning, they cannot directly let the people rebel. They must first ignite the people's hatred towards the nobles. For example, spreading some specific examples of nobles oppressing civilians in their territories, or even fabricating some intolerable "facts". Another example is arranging "underground workers" to guide people on how to resist "correctly". Then there are how to absorb the backbone, how to organize an uprising movement, how to obtain the support of more people, etc.
However, all of this requires a prerequisite, which is to wait for the rulers to hand over the handle.
After all, the Church of Dawn must play an absolutely positive image in front of the people, so the war must not be started by the church. Only when the rulers take action against the church can the church legitimately "break" with the rulers.
And those rulers and nobles did not keep the church waiting for long. After those messengers returned, they brought the Pope's response to the rulers of various countries. Those nobles who knew the truth almost immediately knew that something was wrong with the church without even guessing.
As a result, all countries in the Dawn World soon issued laws almost uniformly, one to restrict people's research on "prehistoric civilization", and the other to suppress the church in all aspects. After all, from the Pope's response, they were already very sure that the church was no longer on their side, so naturally they would treat it as an enemy.
"The church's church was demolished, countless poor people receiving relief were driven to the streets, and more than a dozen people froze to death in just one day!"
"The church bishop was arrested, tortured, and died in prison!"
"The army stormed the church and clashed with believers, resulting in the death of dozens of believers!"
Although, there is no Internet in Dawn World, not even the newspaper industry. However, under the control of "careful people", various news spread quickly and widely. These messages, both true and false, portray the church as a bullied character from all aspects. At the same time, in order to make civilians more inclined to the church, the news focused on describing the murder of civilians.
"A certain noble lady bathed in the blood of young girls in order to maintain her youth. In just a few years, hundreds of girls were murdered!"
"After a certain aristocratic man killed a civilian while riding in a carriage, he blamed the deceased's blood for staining the carriage and robbed the deceased's daughter as compensation!"
"The right of first night! The most shameless aristocratic right in the world!"
Under the covert propaganda of the church, all kinds of negative news about the nobles swept the entire world in a short period of time. All the nobles were described as demon-like beings, bathing in the blood of girls, refining medicine with the hearts of babies, and so on.
Although, some news may appear to be too false and exaggerated in the eyes of "insightful people". However, the vast majority of civilians don't even care where the news comes from. Those commoners themselves had resentment towards the nobles in their hearts, so how could they think of defending those nobles.
Finally, after the public sentiment reached a certain level, some people who dared to express the spirit of resistance began to become active among the civilians. Some of these people are indeed independent, but many are supported by the church, constantly guiding the common people to awaken their hearts of resistance.
Of course, such a situation would definitely be noticed by those nobles, and naturally another wave of brutal suppression would follow.
To be honest, although the propaganda from the church is indeed very exaggerated. But in this world, it is also a reality that nobles do not treat common people as human beings. Therefore, you can imagine how cruel this "cruel" suppression is: who would waste energy on understanding the good and bad qualities of an untouchable? Just kill them if they are suspected.
Therefore, out of "unbearable endurance" and with a "benevolent heart" for the world, the Church of Dawn finally "had to" stand up and declare war on those decadent nobles.
The Church of Dawn has its own religious knights, and it has also incorporated many "Children of Destiny" and "Reincarnations", so it is not difficult to challenge any kingdom alone. However, what Ye Zan wants to do here is not to target a certain kingdom, but to target almost all rulers related to wizards, that is, almost to fight against the whole world.
If the outcome is simply determined by an army confrontation, even if the Dawn Church has made all the preparations, there may not be any good results in the end. After all, no matter how good these kingdoms are, there is still no problem if they can gather an army of one million. What's more, this is a world that emphasizes personal strength. Even the lowest level knight can defeat an ordinary person with one against a hundred.
However, soldiers are also human beings, they also have thoughts, they also have relatives and friends, and they can also be incited. If the civilian uprising is just for "survival", then the military coup is closer to "ideal" and is more suitable for today's dawn world.
You know, no matter how backward the Dawn World is, the civilians have not yet reached the point where they can’t really survive. In recent years, the entire world has been in relatively good weather, allowing the lower class civilians to dig out the ground to eat. As long as they can survive, the vast majority of civilians will still choose to swallow their anger when faced with some injustices in society.
As for soldiers, they basically don’t have to worry about having enough food and clothing, and their life is better than that of civilians at the lowest level. However, just because they can eat and drink enough, they have more thoughts and yearn for a better life than now. In particular, soldiers are basically young people with a lot of passion and dreams of pursuing their ideals.
Soon, with the efforts of the rulers and the church, the world of Dawn, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, finally fell into the torrent of war. Uprisings occurred in various places, armies mutinied, and careerists took the opportunity to gain some benefits. War almost suddenly became the theme of the entire world.
Of course, except for providing some information to Bartley and others at the beginning, Ye Zan basically did not participate in this kind of thing. After all, out of fear of the will of the world, Ye Zan did not dare to use them casually even if he had countless war weapons in his hands.
Therefore, when the world of dawn was filled with war, Ye Zan suddenly felt relaxed. It can be said that up to now, all the plans he made for "preaching" have been implemented. Next, he waited for these plans to come into effect, setting up the pot and adding firewood, just like boiling water, and waiting for the water in the pot to boil slowly.
However, Ye Zan didn't have anything to do when he was free, he just didn't have to worry about "preaching".
You know, Ye Zan has a disciple, a Shi Lin, a Wu Liao, they cannot just accept them as disciples and ignore them. Moreover, of his two apprentices, one has the blood of the Western Dragon and the other is from the Witch Clan. They will definitely not be able to learn Taoism. Therefore, unlike other masters and disciples who taught Taoism, he had to find another way to teach the two disciples based on their characteristics.
Coming to the world of Dawn, for Ye Zan, in addition to earning merit by "preaching", it is also a good opportunity to teach two disciples. Although, his ultimate goal of coming here to "preach" is to assimilate this world with the monastic world. However, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is a big difference between the world of dawn and the world of monasticism.
The difference between the Dawn World and the Cultivation World falls on Shi Lin and Wu Liao, and the effect reflected is that there is no suppression of the Dao.
When they were in the monastic world, although Shi Lin and Wu Liao were both born in the monastic world, the paths they followed were not mainstream in the monastic world. Why did the Wu clan decline? Isn't it because the things practiced by the Wu clan have now become non-mainstream existences and are no longer favored by heaven and earth? Not to mention Shi Lin, the blood in his body can be said to come from the outer world, how can he achieve anything in the world of monasticism.
Therefore, when Shi Lin and Wu Liao were in the world of monasticism, they were actually suppressed by the Tao at all times. Although, the strength they displayed is already quite good in the eyes of others. However, if they still stay in the monastic world and continue to be suppressed by the Tao, their achievements may only reach this level.
