Chapter 109: Rebellion in the Southwest
In September of the first year of Wude, because of the opposition to the imperial court's implementation of the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream in the southwest region, under the leadership of Yang Shaoyuan, the great Tusi, more than 20 Tusi in the southwest rebelled.
Some of the officials sent by the imperial court before were killed by the rebellious Tusi one after another because of the haste of the incident.
The rebel army swept through more than 20 state capitals in southwest China in just half a month, and many Han people were slaughtered. Even those who survived were mostly captured as slaves by the rebels.
When the news came, the people were terrified, the government and the opposition were furious, and snowflakes flew on the desk of Emperor Jiang Chuan, all with the same meaning - to ask the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and avenge the tragic death of the Han people.
For the Tusi rebellion, Jiang Chuan has long been mentally prepared for this, and he has already formulated a plan. It's just that I didn't expect these toasts to move so fast, and they suddenly attacked at the beginning of the implementation of the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, and caught the imperial court off guard, so that they could produce such a huge momentum in a short period of time.
After consulting with several important ministers, everyone agreed that these Tusi rebellions had been planned for a long time.
Obviously, these toasts also want to take advantage of the turmoil in the Central Plains and the change of imperial power.
Even, some ambitious big toasts even have the ambition to compete in the world.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Jiang Chuan's pacification of the world was too fast, and the situation was still very stable when the imperial power changed, and they were not given a chance to take advantage of, so before they had time to make trouble, Daming had already become Daqin.
However, the ambitions that had been born were not so easy to eliminate, so the policy of changing the land and returning to the river in the imperial court made them see an excuse to raise troops, so they couldn't wait to raise troops as soon as the policy was implemented.
Somewhere in the southwest, in the mansion of Yang Shaoyuan, the self-proclaimed "generalissimo of the rebellion against the tyrannical Qin", Yang Shaoyuan, who was dressed in military uniform, was summoning dozens of large and small toasts to discuss matters.
"That Jiangchuan forced the Ming Emperor to take the throne, and he just won the world, and it was the time when he was complacent. As soon as people are proud, they will be arrogant, and when they are arrogant, they will relax, and we will have a chance to succeed. This is one of them.
For example, the situation seems to be calm today, but in fact, there are many people who are not convinced by him, the pseudo-Qin court, and there is an undercurrent surging under the water, and many people are ready to move, but there is a lack of a leader. Now that we are waiting for the army, the momentum is so huge, as long as these people raise their arms, they will definitely gather in response, and our strength will soon grow a lot. This is the desire of the people, and this is the second one.
Third, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are now stationed in various places, and although Di Qing, who is closest to us, has a lot of soldiers and horses, the main force is to suppress the original Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses, and there is not much force to deal with us. If the soldiers and horses from other regions had come, this southwest would have become our world long ago.
Fourth, our southwest is full of mountains, high forests, and complex terrain, and it is wishful thinking that those imperial eagles and dogs want to defeat us on the territory where we have lived for generations. And our warriors are fighting on the terrain we are familiar with.
Yang Shaoyuan sat high on the main seat, talking eloquently, looking full of confidence, and when he said that he was excited, he stood up and danced directly, looking like the world was in his control.
Many of the large and small toasts sitting on both sides below were moved by Yang Shaoyuan's words. Their faces were filled with excitement, and their eyes showed ambitious expectations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if one day I, Yang Shaoyuan, can achieve a foundation, you are all my founding merits, and I will definitely share the glory and wealth of generations with you."
Looking at the expressions of the people below, Yang Shaoyuan was secretly proud in his heart, proud of his eloquence, and contemptuous for the people below who were easily moved by his own words.
"A bunch of idiots, if it weren't for the need for you now, a certain family would have cleaned you up a long time ago."
At the same time, for the few toasts below who were not moved by his words, but had a worried look on their faces, Yang Shaoyuan secretly remembered them in his heart, ready to settle accounts with them.
The capital, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Garden.
Two figures, a man and a woman, walked slowly side by side on the flower-lined path in the Imperial Garden.
"Brother Chuan, I heard that the momentum in the southwest is a bit rampant." Although it has reached the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in the capital is a little cool. But Bai Jinxiu is still wearing a white dress, but the style has been changed to the appearance of a palace dress.
"It's just a bunch of clowns, don't worry. Di Qing already had a plan. If you are not afraid of them jumping, you are afraid that they will not jump. ”
Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, looking unconcerned.
"These toasts don't know how thick the sky is, and jumping out at this time just gives the court a good opportunity to clean them up. After this battle, the southwest was in trouble. Bai Jinxiu enlightened.
That's what it means. Even if they don't jump out, I'm going to find a chance to stimulate them. But you still don't have to worry about these things. Your biggest mission now is to take care of your body, so that our son can eat and drink well in your belly, and only when he is born can he be fat in vain. ”
Jiang Chuan chuckled and reached out to rub his wife's high bulging lower abdomen.
A trace of blush flew over Bai Jinxiu's face, and he glanced at Jiang Chuan with disgust, but he didn't slap his big hand away, and said coquettishly: "You know that you care about your son, is marrying me to give birth to a son for you?" What if it's a daughter? ”
"It's good for a daughter, my daughter is my father's little padded jacket, I like it better. If it is a daughter, you will teach her to practice martial arts, and in the future, she will be a heroic woman like you. ”
"That's pretty much it. But if only there was a son and a daughter. In this way, the child will have a playmate in the future. Bai Jinxiu put a soft wattle on the back of Jiang Chuan's hand, and said with a yearning reverie.
"If you like it, we'll have a few more in the future. When the little guy came out, we worked hard every night to create a man and give him seven or eight brothers and sisters, and then we were worried that there would be no one to play with him? Jiang Chuan said with a smile.
"Seven or eight? What are you a human being? Bai Jinxiu glanced at Jiang Chuan, but he thought of something, and laughed again.
Jiang Chuan on the side looked at the motherly smile on his wife's face, and a feeling of happiness arose in his heart, and he reached out to grab his wife's hand, and the two hands crossed their fingers and clasped them tightly.
The two held hands and talked softly as they walked, and laughter came out from time to time.
A pregnant woman is easy to get tired, and Bai Jinxiu is now more than seven months pregnant, so after walking for a while, Jiang Chuan helped her sit down in a stone pavilion.
The stone benches in the pavilion have cotton cushions prepared in advance, and they are not afraid of cold and hard stone benches.
Jiang Chuan stood behind his wife, helped her gently massage her shoulders, and whispered something while causing Bai Jinxiu to laugh from time to time.
In the distance, a figure in a dark green dress looked at it from afar, and his eyes revealed a figure of envy.
However, I don't know what came to mind, but I sighed.
