In the first year of the Jianyan era, the young Yue Fei submitted a memorial, offending the prime minister. He was criticized for "a petty official overstepping his position and speaking on matters beyond his station," then dismissed from office, beginning several months of wandering.
One day, while sleeping in the wilderness, Yue Fei picked up something that called itself a System. It said it could help him summon university students to resist the Jurchen. After thinking it over, Yue Fei pressed the "Yes" button.
On their very first day, the university students stormed Yingtian Prefecture and ground Zhao Gou to dust.
Yue Fei: We agreed to resist the Jurchen. How could you assassinate the emperor?
University students: Wanyan Gou is a loyal subject of Great Jin, faithful to his emperor.
Yue Fei: A nation cannot go a single day without an emperor...
University students: Marshal Yue, ascend the throne.
Yue Fei: But I'm just an unemployed twenty-five-year-old!
The Yue Family Army's discipline: "Freeze to death rather than tear down a house. Starve to death rather than loot."
The university students stole a passerby's wine.
The university students climbed onto a roof to drink and feast.
The university students crushed the roof beams, leaving the residents homeless.
The university students were taken to prison.
The military judge asked Yue Fei whether they should be executed or beaten with military rods.
Yue Fei smiled faintly. "I choose to dock their credits."
The university students let out piercing screams.
Theme: A beautiful vision for history.
