The prophet Zhang Jiao speaks in the square of a village, large crowds surround him to hear his words.
Friends! Peasants! Countrymen! Lend me your ears! I come not to tax you, but to free you! Long has the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy oppressed you! Long have they sat in fine luxury, growing fat off of your hard labors, while we peasants struggle in the muds to ensure their livelihood. They grow wealthy by exploiting the workers and peasants, which allows them more power, and corrupts them further. These aristocrats must be stopped! They must be punished!
The Han is their ally, and the Emperor willingly aids these corrupt bourgeoisie; rather than being our friend, the Emperor is our enemy, the enemy of the people has long since lost the Mandate of Heaven!
Join me, join us, join the Way of Peace! Soon the skies will turn ablaze with yellow, and when that day comes, and it will come soon, the Han will be defeated, the bourgeoisie will be defeated, the enemies of the people will be defeated, and then we the people, the workers and peasants, will control our own lives! From each according to his ability, to each according to his need! Long Live The WAY OF PEACE!!!!
