Drawing Numerous System Hosts: A War to Destroy a Nation

Li Zhiyuan listened quietly to the suggestions from the Peasants' Association leaders, and only after the discussions subsided did he speak boldly:

"The remnants of the old era have no vessel to carry them in the new era."

The Qing State emperor, his officials, and nobles were all accomplices in the massacre of civilians by the Evil Soul Hall.

A public trial is necessary, followed by execution according to the law.

Only in this way can we set the record straight, appease public grievances, and break the mental shackles on the people more quickly.

He paused slightly, turned his gaze to Yang Ning, and continued:

"You don't need to concern yourself with those who submit letters of surrender."

Whether they live or die depends entirely on how their past crimes are judged.

"Yes, Chairman."

Yang Ning nodded in agreement, then asked, "President, we're launching a general offensive in three days. Why don't you personally command this major battle?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present echoed, "President, capturing the capital is of paramount importance, and it truly requires your personal command."

Li Zhiyuan's gaze swept over the crowd, and he understood immediately. They wanted him to personally claim the credit for destroying the country.

This will not only further establish the association's authority but also better stabilize the internal structure of the Peasants' Association.

"Okay, I will be there in person."

However, everyone has their own expertise, and the specific operational plans and execution details still need to be coordinated by General Yang Ning.

Yang Ning immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Chairman, I will not fail you!"

Zhou Kang proposed, "Now that the Qing State is on the verge of collapse and we are about to establish Xin State, the decision on the name of the country and the capital should be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

He paused briefly before explaining his ideas, "The harmonious society we are building is different from any other country in the past, and the name of the country should reflect this difference."

I propose that the country's name be "New," to directly distinguish it from the old era;

As for the capital, I think Qingping City, the capital of the Qing State, is very suitable. It is located in the center and can radiate to the surrounding areas, making it convenient for future management of the whole country.

As soon as Zhou Kang finished speaking, the leaders of the Peasants' Association began to express their opinions:

"I think 'Harmonious Society' would be a better name for our country. It's concise, clear, and directly reflects the nature of our nation."

"The term 'Harmonious Society' is indeed fitting as the country's name, but what if other places also establish 'Harmonious Society' in the future? Wouldn't that easily lead to confusion?"

"There's absolutely no need to worry about that; I doubt anyone else would dare to attempt to build a harmonious society."

"I think using the word 'agriculture' in the country's name is quite good. Our organization is called the Peasants' Association, so using the word 'agriculture' is very fitting."

"Let's choose Antai City as the capital! It's where our Peasants' Association started, and we have a strong foundation among the people."

"Antai City is too remote. Although there is a system to assist us, it will ultimately be inconvenient to govern the world after the country is established. I still support making Qingping City."

Li Zhiyuan listened patiently to all the suggestions. "Everyone has a point. Let's decide this by vote, with the minority obeying the majority."

"Great! The president's method is fair! Let's vote now." Everyone agreed in unison.

After a vote, the results were finalized: the country's name was decided as "Xin State," and the capital was chosen as Qingping City, which was renamed "Peace City."

Looking at the undisguised joy on everyone's faces, Li Zhiyuan secretly pondered:

While the establishment of a harmonious society is within reach, internal ideological education must be prioritized.

If the ideology collapses first, this newly established harmonious society will likely fall apart before the Evil Soul Hall even takes action.

Thinking of this, he said, "Fellow members, the revolution is not yet successful, we must continue our efforts!"

In particular, we must not slacken our efforts in ideological education.

When people have problems, the root cause often lies in their mindset.

If our thinking falters, the harmonious society we have painstakingly built could collapse in the blink of an eye.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kang, Yang Ning, and the others immediately became solemn and nodded earnestly.

"President, we understand the stakes involved and will definitely not let our guard down!"

Li Zhiyuan nodded slightly, and then continued to discuss with everyone the specific matters after the founding of the Jianguo.

Three days later, outside the capital of the Qing State.

The Peasants' Association's 500,000-strong army had already besieged the city, and as the general offensive began, the sounds of fighting and screams instantly rang out.

The Peasants' Association soldiers are all bound to the Fairness System; not only do they all possess cultivation, but they are also clad in strong armor, making their attacks as fierce as tigers.

In contrast, the morale of the Qing State army, whether regular troops or hastily assembled groups of officials' sons and local bullies, was low.

With inferior weaponry and low combat strength, they were utterly powerless to resist and were quickly routed in a series of defeats.

In a short while, the city gates of the capital were breached, and the Peasants' Association army surged in and stormed into the city.

In mid-air, Liu Yi, Qian Duoduo, and Little Yellow concealed themselves, quietly observing the battle below.

Seeing the high morale of the Peasants' Association's army, their well-organized battle formation, and their measured advances and retreats, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh:

"An army composed entirely of cultivators is indeed formidable! If their cultivation levels were even higher, their battle formations would likely be even more terrifying."

They're far stronger than ordinary cultivation sects; they might easily wipe out an entire sect.

"Once cultivation becomes widespread, if the nation can unite the strength of its people..."

The power they unleash far surpasses that of a single cultivation sect, and could even exceed the combined strength of dozens of sects.

Liu Yi's gaze swept across the surrounding sky, and he saw many system hosts hiding in mid-air, watching the battle below.

"I didn't expect this great battle to attract so many system hosts. It seems everyone is quite curious about a harmonious society."

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow were both startled. Their Divine Sense instantly expanded, and they indeed detected hundreds of hidden auras lurking in the shadows, spying on them.

"It's just a war of annihilation of an ordinary nation, yet it has attracted so many onlookers."

Qian Duoduo's tone was full of surprise, "It seems that there are far more people paying attention to Li Zhiyuan and the Peasants' Association than I imagined."

Everyone wanted to see for themselves what the harmonious society they were building would actually look like.

What's so strange about that?

Little Yellow raised an eyebrow in response, "Even you're interested in them, how can others not be curious?"

It should be noted that this kind of national system is unprecedented in the entire Azure Billows Realm.

Qian Duoduo chuckled and said, "You're right. Everyone knows how difficult it is to build a harmonious society, and no one dares to try it lightly."

Now that a madman like Li Zhiyuan has appeared and dared to try it, everyone is naturally very curious. Even Brother Yi was attracted by them, wasn't he?

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi immediately laughed and said, "In the old days, the people were oppressed and had no chance to rise up?"

Many people have surely fantasized about an ideal country like a harmonious society.

But now that they're bound to the system, their cultivation has increased, and their knowledge has broadened. They all understand how difficult it is for such a country to emerge.

Even they themselves didn't have the courage to try.

Now that Li Zhiyuan and the Peasants' Association have actually dared to take this step, how could anyone who knows the news not be curious?

Moreover, the news hasn't spread yet; if it does, even more people will likely come.

So I was drawn here, is that strange?

After all, I also come from a humble background, unlike you, Old Qian, who came from a wealthy family. I know better than you how hard life is for ordinary people at the bottom of society.

Qian Duoduo was taken aback at first, then nodded thoughtfully. "Brother Yi's words do make sense."

I only spent a short time at the bottom of the Heavenly Revelation Sect, yet I became curious about a harmonious society.

"Not to mention those powerful individuals who came from ordinary backgrounds?"
