When the relief supplies arrived, they thought that after the baptism of disaster, the people in the affected areas would be very eager for help.

Unexpectedly, the refugees who were already in the riot had not retreated from their wildness, and even more commotion broke out.

After this great flood, everyone blamed the source of the disaster on the imperial court, believing that it was because of the incompetence and darkness of the imperial court that they encountered such a great tribulation, and the disaster that could have been avoided was also caused by the imperial court's inability to use talents.

Thus began a large-scale riot, and the leaders of the riots, who had the temperament of dominating at the time, instigated the survivors to rise up against the rulers through their words.

People who were already on the verge of despair and collapse were indignant after such an agitation, and some even threatened to enter Shangjing to change the emperor.

Then, under the control of the well-intentioned, a small group of mobs began to integrate after organizational adjustments, then expanded, and finally piled up into an organized team.

This riot was very different from the previous ones, which were at best chaotic people, and did not cause much trouble.

And this time, the rioters have already begun to be organized, premeditated, and even targeted. They have a clear purpose and are no longer satisfied with just petty fights.

The people of the rebellion, no, should be called the refugees of the uprising, first seized all the supplies for the rescue, used them as military rations and armaments, and then occupied the large cities, which did not have much to defend them, opened the arsenals of the cities, took out the armor, and relied on these weapons to pull up several fighting troops.

Then the rebel forces in several regions, after a short period of training, immediately gathered their spheres of influence under the leadership of the leader, and there was a feeling of being divided, setting off a storm in the land of Western Chu.

Fufeng County is the most severely affected county, it is close to Beifu County and Henghe County, the terrain is low, the land is flat, as far as the eye can see, there is no boundary, it is the grain producing county of the West Chu at the beginning.

It is precisely because of its unique geographical conditions that when it was affected, the flood washed over without any stops, and because of the flat terrain, the flood even once rushed into Beifu County, which was far away from the Henghe.

After the flood receded, the surviving people here hated the court more than the surrounding areas, and they were originally rich in food and clothing, but because of the flood, they became poor and white.

Dissatisfaction with reality translates into anger at the incompetence of the imperial court.

Here, the people who revolted were the strongest and the largest in their organization. And the one who organized this group of people to revolt was the mountain rat who picked up a life from Niutou Mountain, he had a flexible brain, and he learned a lot of things with Han Dang, the master of Huotou Mountain, over the years, especially the ability to bewitch people's hearts, and he was even more perfect.

After this difficulty, the people of Fufeng County were miserable and miserable.

The mountain rat roamed around Fufu-gun, offering favors to refugees everywhere he went, and spreading his ideas everywhere. After his encouragement, the emotions of the people who were already resentful were immediately mobilized.

Then, when the number of people accumulated to a certain extent, he naturally became the first to declare an uprising.

With the mountain rats taking the lead, uprisings broke out in various places, and in this devastated land, they who first revolted were not intercepted and killed by any army.

With such a smooth start, the major leaders began to think about how to manage their forces.

The mountain rat is really a talent, he has had the failure of Niutou Mountain, knowing that after his uprising, the imperial court will definitely send an army to encircle and suppress himself, if he still hides on the mountain as before, the army will bring people to hide in the mountains as soon as he comes, it will definitely not work.

So he set his eyes on the great cities, and there was nothing stronger than them, and no resources more abundant than them.

As the first person to take the lead, he directly occupied Fufeng Castle, the county seat of Fufeng County, and began to focus on restoring the functions of the city.

He promoted a group of people to be the heads of various departments, and simply gave each person an official position and a knighthood.

It is worth mentioning that Ren Feng was also in this and became a captain of Fufeng City.

When he returned to his hometown and saw that his home had been hit by a flood, he still refused to believe that his wife had been killed, so he persevered in searching. But the man could not be resurrected, and after the search was fruitless, he became depressed day by day.

Fortunately, when he met the mountain rat, under his enlightenment and bewitchment, Ren Feng joined his team and became his right-hand man.

The mountain rats captured the county town and caused a sensation among the surrounding forces, and with the first one, everyone followed suit to find territory, occupy the city, and annex each other.

Some people even pretend to be the founding name of the country, and they have thought about the emperor's addiction.

However, in this regard, the mountain rat is relatively low-key, he just keeps his head down to develop his own power, does not fight for any fame at all, and is well versed in the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice.

The news of the rebellion in the three counties of Yokogawa was first put on the table of Daxiangwendao, and then Kuang Hua knew about it.

Kuang Hua was lying on the sickbed with an order, and the ministers below, especially Wen Dao, were afraid that Kuang Hua would know that this time the matter was too big, which would lead to anger and anxiety, which was not conducive to recovery, so they portrayed this large-scale uprising as a little simpler.

Rao is like this, Kuang Hua still shook his head one after another when he heard the news, and constantly sighed and blamed himself, saying that he failed to do what a monarch should do.

It was the courtiers at the bottom who tried their best to persuade them to appease His Majesty the Emperor.

After Kuang Hua calmed down, he ordered Zuo Jiao, the commander of the Black Flag Army, to go to pacify the people, and asked Wen Dao to quickly select and transfer the county guards of the three counties and the officials of each county.

He was now physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't say much, so he left the rest of the affairs to Wen Dao.

The reason why Han Ming was not allowed to go was because Kuang Hua had asked Han Ming to prepare for post-disaster reconstruction earlier, and he thought that even if these riots were rebellious, as long as they were pacified, they still had to let Han Ming prepare for the post-disaster affairs.

In addition, the Black Flag Army Zuo Di is his confidant, and he has worked with Han Ming to pacify the victims, so he still has some experience in this regard.

And along with Kuang Hua's holy decree, there was also a private letter from the Great Minister of the Dynasty to Zuo Li.

The content of the letter, of course, is to let Zuo Shu exert great efforts to exterminate the bandits, and to restore peace and tranquility in the Henghe area. In the letter, Wen Dao emphasized the danger of the rioters and asked Zuo Yi to deal with this matter cleanly.

This group of people is not a mob, unlike the riots some time ago, this is a rebellion, a great crime that cannot be forgiven, and the thieves must be strangled cleanly.

Fortunately, Zuo Jian could clearly understand the severity of the situation, and after receiving the letter, he immediately led the Black Flag Army and drove towards the chaotic area.

The Black Flag Army, with a permanent military strength of 30,000, only brought 10,000 people with Zuo Jiao the last time he went to quell the rebellion.

This time, he sent out the whole army just to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.

For a troop of 30,000 people, it was troublesome to get food, grass, and supplies. However, Zuo Di only ordered the troops to bring half a month's rations.

In his opinion, half a month was enough for him to wash away the traitors in several surrounding counties several times.

Zuo Tsui divided his troops into three routes, personally leading 10,000 men and going straight to the nearest Fufu County, and the other two roads to Kitawon County and Yokogawa County respectively.

This time, Zuo Jiao was full of confidence and was bound to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.
