The process of large-scale torture is not as difficult as Xiao Xuan imagined, after all, the people who exist to protect special interests are not the dead soldiers in martial arts, let alone the revolutionary fighters who join in for the sake of ideals. Although a lot of the information provided is not very comprehensive and accurate, it is still possible to lock down some context with sufficient manpower to check and prepare.

In this way, when the winter of the eighth year of Chongzhen was approaching, a large-scale purge began. From many wealthy families in Suzhou and even Hangzhou to even some of Xiao Xuan's relatives, and even many people on the foreign affairs line, almost all of them have been affected.

This also somewhat surprised Xiao Xuan. After all, at best, his actions have not risen to the level of a revolution in the true sense of the word, but even this kind of "reform" brought about by the move towards comprehensive health and the rule of law is tantamount to a revolution in the eyes of some. In fact, not only this large-scale whistleblower reward plan, but also many contradictions accumulated in the previous years were also exposed at this time.

When the purge began to spread to some places outside of Koto, many people could no longer sit still. The various forces that had participated in the rally near the Hero's Outer City could only move in a hurry at this moment without being prepared for rebellion. More often, of course, in the name of civil uprisings. There were many people loyal to the central government in the main force of the revolutionary army and the main body of the volunteer forces, from the lower strata to the middle and upper strata, and the influence of the Ta Tung Society in the regular army also made it much more difficult to openly engage in large-scale mutiny.

In this way, the entire sea that had just settled down began to be full of smoke again, from Jiangdong to Guangdong and then to the northwest, a total of more than 300,000 private soldiers and hundreds of rebels composed of men and horses made many provinces and regions fall into turmoil for a while, and the Ming Dynasty, which had just pacified overseas, suddenly seemed to have a sign of the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Tian Xiuying, even Tian Hongyu and others, and even Zhou Dayong and the person in charge of internal and external affairs whose names are unknown to outsiders have suddenly become the target of all kinds of rebel forces. After overdrawing their savings and family funds, the rebel army soon increased to a million people, and successively captured hundreds of county seats, more than 10 prefectures, and the actual area of control of the countryside was even larger.

Xiao Xuan had already prepared to give an impromptu speech outside the central manor as a stand-in, and although the participants were only a few thousand officers from the heroic militia and the core volunteer units in the Nanjing area, the "official seal" of the speech was spread throughout Jiangdong and even outside Jiangdong and all parts of the country in a short period of time.

"The reason for the enemy's rebellion is not because of the so-called propriety and morality, nor because of some unavoidable grievances in such a change, but because of the loss of space to operate and pursue illegitimate self-interest in violation of the rule of law under the principles of equality and fairness. The benefits they expect to receive should not come from contributions, production or management, or even decision-making, but from long-term guarantees based on a strengthened relationship of personal dependence. As long as the rentier class, which expects to be the king through collusion between officials and businessmen, even technological plagiarism, and even a little local privilege, is not fundamentally and long-term contained, the stagnation and countless tragedies of the world for thousands of years will not change... ”

In his speech, Xiao Xuan did not use too many traditional descriptions and sensationalism, nor did he adapt to the Confucian style of traditional Chinese writing. Of course, Xiao Xuan knows very well that these words are not for those who have chosen the old culture culturally, but for those who have already chosen the new culture from a cultural standpoint. If we rely on traditional ideologies to carry out such mobilization, there is no doubt that there are many hidden dangers for radical cultural reform.

Hundreds of thousands of speeches printed by the government and even related special newspapers were prepared almost a long time ago, and as a result, they were delivered to officers and men in various localities in a very short period of time. Under such circumstances, many armed forces of the local military management committees that had originally chosen a wait-and-see attitude were not allowed to take sides and choose sides. Armed conflicts are intensifying on an increasingly widespread scale.

In the past few months, the "Heroic Brigade," composed of about 5,000 people with more than 10,000 households reporting "heroes" as the core, has also completed its armament and training at this time, equipped with a large number of regular mules and horses, and even more than 1,500 catties to 1,000 catties of body-barreled heavy artillery.

As a result, the growing intensity of the rebels in various places began to slow down when the volunteer forces did not make large-scale movements and there were still considerable remaining troops.

Of course, even so, in terms of military strength alone, because the main body of the revolutionary army still has to carry out the task of public security warfare in vast areas overseas, the forces directly under the central government at home are still relatively weak. After more than a month of fighting, only the rebels in Jiangdong and even the Pearl River Delta began to be purged, and the rebels who still had a size of about 100 began to gradually gather in the central and western regions, and it seemed that they had the intention of relying on Tianzhu and even the southeast and other places as a way to retreat.

It was also at this time that the announcement with the official seal was once again disseminated on a large scale through the foreign situation and even the military command department, of course, a large-scale surrender plan against the rebels. Anyone who can fight back on the battlefield and obtain more than 10 generals and 100 people can be rewarded according to the scale of 200 to 3,000 taels of gold and 200 to 500 taels of silver. And it will also get more than seventy percent of the benefits of the battlefield uprising, stationed in Hero City.

As a result, new civil strife and conflict soon intensified within the rebel forces, which had just completed their concentration, and almost in a very short time reduced the pressure on the counterinsurgency forces that were attacking along the main routes.

It didn't take long for the rebels in the eastern provinces to be reduced one by one to Sichuan, Shaanxi and even some places in the surrounding areas. Because of the lack of food and wages, even the local raids seemed to be far from satisfying the demand, and the various armed forces that rebelled at this time had to "streamline their troops" and give up many of the people who had followed them, and the strength of the army gradually dropped from more than one million men and horses at its peak to two or three hundred thousand barely reliable main forces, and compared with the main force of tens of thousands of people, they no longer had a force advantage of more than ten times.

Xiao Xuan also saw the first real "victory" when the winter season arrived at the end of the eighth year of the new dynasty
