Chapter 1264: The Fly That Had to Be Swallowed (154)

After a year, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out again, and this time it was different from last year, this year's riot, the peasant army was obviously planned, premeditated, and carried out step by step, not like last year, which seemed to make the imperial court busy but the strength was weak everywhere, and after Zhou Liang led his troops into Shu, all the rebel armies were extinguished in a few months. This year, these peasants were wise enough to plan and then act, and in one fell swoop, they annihilated all the 5,000 regular troops transferred by the imperial court to Shu County.

In the battle of Cang'er Mountain, the Qin army led by Zhou Liang was all killed in battle (Zhou Liang has since disappeared, and the corpses accumulated into a mountain in the big narrow valley of Biandanya, which was unrecognizable, and the Qin people naturally thought that he also died in battle), the former commander of the Black Ice Platform who retreated to the mountains and forests made Zhong Li die in battle, and the Zhong Mansion was destroyed, and the news that was transmitted to Shu County and the center of the Qin Dynasty had not yet made the imperial court react, and the rebellion of Shu County had spread rapidly from Ziyang, and within ten days, it swept half of Shu County, without the bullet pressure of Zhou Liang's five thousand elite Qin army, the local guards, The weak combat effectiveness of the township soldiers, under the attack of the angry peasant rebels, was like a chicken and a dog, and they were crushed for thousands of miles.

Shu County was in turmoil, Shu County Shou Mei Changchun gathered the rout troops from all over the place, and retreated in the county town, the place under his control, but only a hundred miles around the county town, the only thing that made him feel fortunate was that the peasant rebel army had stopped the surging expansion momentum after occupying most of Shu County. This made Mei Changchun breathe a sigh of relief, and while asking the court for help, he hurriedly recruited troops and horses in Shu County, trained guards and township soldiers, and tried to restore his strength.

"Rubbish!" Ying Ying angrily tore Shu Jun's emergency document to shreds, raised his hand and threw it up, and in the Black Ice Platform Palace, a rain of paper suddenly fell, and Fan Sui fell in front of him. Mingtai, white from several henchmen.

The Qin Dynasty was struggling to reform its internal affairs, and most of Fan Sui's efforts at this time were still on naturalizing those officials of the Li School, who occupied most of the strength of the court, and it was impossible to kill them all. Hurry, if this is the case, then the Qin Dynasty will be over, after hitting a few people led by a heavy blow, Fan Sui began to win over and disintegrate the opponent's alliance, although because of the existence of Lu Chao, there are still many of these people who look forward and backward, but overall, it is quite smooth. Tan Feng has been implementing reforms in Yingchuan for more than two years, and they have achieved quite results. It also greatly increased Yingying and Fan Sui's confidence, at least now Tan Feng's Yingchuan is already self-sufficient, in addition to the ordnance still needs to be supplied by the imperial court, grain, grass, and silver can also be self-sufficient.

However, Fan Sui also knew that Tan Feng's actions in Yingchuan could not be promoted on a large scale across the country, because Tan Feng's actions were simple and rude. Anyone who does not cooperate will be charged with the crime of connecting with the Han Kingdom. Kill to kill, go to prison to go to prison, vigorous and resolute, as ruthless, the local wealthy have to bow their heads. But all this is based on the fact that Yingchuan is the front line, and it is all limited to one place. Yingchuan is also a border place, even if there are not many powerful families, and there are few connections with the big people above the court, and the influence is very small.

Yingchuan's success, Ji Yingying made up her mind to promote it throughout the country. In the surrounding area of Xianyang, it is quite smooth, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to attack it, but in other counties and prefectures, it is implemented very slowly, and Shu County even made such a big mess.

Shu County is in turmoil, it stands to reason that troops will be sent to suppress and restore the normal rule of Shu County, but now, the Qin court really can't send troops, two-thirds of the country's troops are concentrated in the hands of Lu Chao, stationed in Hangu Pass, not to mention whether the Qin court can now mobilize the soldiers and horses under Lu Chao, just the tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Han State of Jinyang on the opposite side of the Qin Dynasty make the Qin court dare not act rashly.

Tan Feng's department is also the same problem, Tan Feng's loyalty now seems to be no problem, the 50,000 Qin army under his department can also be called elite, at least now the Han army opposite Yingshui has no intention of attacking, but the Qin court does not dare to mobilize the men and horses there, and Zhou Yu's 50,000 troops are now seven or eight tunes, and the Tang Gui troops under his command are only more than 30,000, stationed on the border of Qin and Chu, they are already stretched, where do they dare to adjust lightly, although Qin Chu is now an ally, but if the Qin people show fatigue, they will show a big flaw in front of the Chu people, Can An ensure that the Chu people will not take the opportunity to stab the Qin people? Ally? When the strength is equal, it is an ally, and when the balance of power is unbalanced, it is fish and meat.

In addition to these field troops, the rest is the Xuanyi Guard of the capital led by Bai Qi, which is the basic force guarding Xianyang, Xianyang is the foundation of the country, it is impossible to mobilize them into Shu, and the new army that Bai Qi is training has just had eyebrows, and it can't go to the battlefield at all.

The Great Qin Kingdom, which was once brilliant and suppressed all countries, was actually forced to be helpless by the peasants of a county, no wonder Yingying was furious, he was the prince of the most powerful time of Great Qin, thinking that back then, when he led 20,000 iron horsemen and chased and killed the Xiongnu royal court for thousands of miles, the Qin army was so high-spirited, but after more than ten years, the Qin State was already weak.

How did this happen? Reform of internal affairs, division of land, and interest-free loans to these people are all actions for the benefit of the country and the people, so why do these people rebel? Ying Ying's angry roar echoed in the black ice platform, he couldn't figure it out, he was already thinking about these people very much, in order to win their support, he did not hesitate to offend the wealthy families, but why didn't they buy it, and they rebelled again and again, so that the entire Qin State was shaken.

"Your Majesty!" Mingtai took a step forward, and stopped talking.

"What do you do, say!" Ying Ying roared.

Mingtai glanced at Fan Sui, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, this is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the Qin State, but at this time, he can't care about Fan Sui's face.

"Regarding the rebellion in Shu County, Weichen has already obtained a detailed report from the Black Ice Terrace branch there." Mingtai Road.

Ying Ying was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mingtai, and then looked at Fan Sui's face, and her heart suddenly calmed down. "What is the investigation of the Black Ice Terrace, and how did this riot start?"

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Shu County was triggered by land reform." Mingtai Road.

"How is this possible? Are they not satisfied with the land given to these people? ”

"The problem is that these lands are not in the hands of the people at all." Mingtai stubbornly said: "Shu County officials, local gentry colluded with each other, falsely listed the list, privately divided the land, and encroached on the vast majority of the land for private ownership, some people who have been dead for many years have been falsely listed on the list and divided the land, in fact, these lands have been in the hands of local officials and gentry, and the people have no land at all, and they are even more hateful, they have hidden the interest-free loans in the edict, and the terms of annual payment, at a price several times higher than the market price, sell those wastelands or barren lands to the people, and the people have no money, They took this opportunity to give out usury, and when the people reacted, they were already in debt, and the land they got would not produce at all, all over Shu County, and the murders that were stimulated were numerous, and in this peasant rebellion, Wen Yi, the fierce general among the bandits, was because the usury borrowed dozens of taels of silver but bought 30 acres of wasteland, and his wife and children died because of this to kill the officials and rebel. ”

Hearing Mingtai list the illegal acts of the officials and gentry of Shu County one by one, Yingying's face turned dark, and Fan Sui's face was bitter. A great good government, when it comes to the localities, has become a means for the unscrupulous gentry to make a fortune. Ying Ying sat down on the chair, and the hand that grabbed the corner of the case was bruised and trembling slightly.

"Okay, that's really good, is it really bad to be a murderous knife in a lonely hand? Mingtai! Ying Ying yelled.

"Slow down, Your Majesty!" Fan Sui took a step forward, "I can't help it, now Shu County can't withstand major turmoil." ”

"Fan Qing, do you want to protect Lu Dafang because you sent him to Shu County? Which of these corrupt officials should not be killed? Ying Ying asked gloomily.

"Your Majesty!" Fan Sui lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty, on their crimes, it is not an exaggeration for these people to cut off their heads a hundred times, but here and now, it is out of place, Shu County has been chaotic, but the county town is still in the hands of the government, the county town is not lost, there is still hope, now in Shu County, there are guards, township troops, they are the last force to guard the county town, and these guards, behind the township soldiers, are standing these officials and gentry, once they kill them, the guards, the township soldiers will inevitably be panicked, and they will no longer be vulnerable, at that time, the county will not be guaranteed, If the county is lost, Shu County will be lost! ”

"Could it be that it is difficult to recover Shu County by relying on these rats?" Ying Ying said angrily.

"Your Majesty, although these people have not succeeded enough and have more than one failure, but now they have been forced to the precipice, and if they don't get up, they will inevitably be killed by bandits, whether it is for themselves or for the country, at this time, we can only appease and encourage, let them rise up to protect themselves, even if they can't restore the rule of Shu County, they can't let the situation worsen anymore. Now, the imperial court really can't send a single soldier to quell the rebellion, so they can only rely on their own strength. Fan Sui persuaded bitterly.

Ying Ying was silent for a moment, "Could it be that Rang Gu not only did not punish these misleading people, but also gently encouraged him to become an official and a knight?" ”

"Your Majesty, grace and honor are all in the hands of the king, what can be given to them today, he will naturally be able to get it back tomorrow, after this hurdle, everything will calm down, and it is not too late to hold them accountable one by one, now, it is indeed impossible to make a big move!" Fan Sui said.

Ying Ying looked up to the sky and sighed, when he was in the army, black was black, and white was white, but after several years in power, he has deeply understood that governing the country and governing the army are completely different, and sometimes he knows that he is a fly, but he has to swallow it.
