No. 478 The Three Wu Rebellion

p

In 396 AD, at the end of April, taking advantage of the boiling public resentment in the land of Sanwu due to the requisition of "Le Family", Sun Tai officially swore to raise the flag.

He led 5,000 elite troops from the Zhoushan Islands, entered Hangzhou Bay in later generations, landed in Shangyu County, and successfully killed the Shangyu County Commander.

I have to say that Sun Tai is much more rational than Sun En, and he is more strategic, and his goals are clearer.

Historically, Sun En's 'uprising' did not have a clear goal at all, and it was more like venting for revenge for no reason.

At that time, after breaking through Shangyu, Sun En brutally chopped the county order into meat sauce, and forced the county order to eat his wife and children.

For those religious people, Sun En also used all kinds of coercion and temptation.

For example, allowing them to rob; For example, those who do not want to follow will kill their children; For example, giving activists positions in the church.

After the team grew, Sun En found that the baby in the army was unable to move, and immediately ordered someone to throw the baby into the water and drown.

And after sweeping through Sanwu, Sun En not only did not use it as a foundation, but wantonly allowed his subordinates to plunder freely.

At the same time, he ordered the houses and the city to be set on fire, and even the wells in the city were filled one by one.

This kind of behavior is simply more robber than a robber, how can it succeed?!

Fortunately, this time, Sun Tai unexpectedly did not die, replacing Sun En as the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao.

Compared with Sun En, Sun Tai's attitude is much gentler.

He didn't order someone to chop the dead Shangyu County Order into meat puree, let alone force people's wives and children to eat human flesh soup.

After capturing Shangyu, Sun Tai immediately unfurled the banner of the Five Doumi Sect and announced that he would lead the sect to establish the Immortal Kingdom.

Since then, the Wudou Mijiao rebels have been called the Immortal Army by the imperial court.

The rebellion of the Heavenly Master Dao, like a spark of fire, ignited the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people at once, and was warmly supported by the people at the bottom.

Originally, the Heavenly Master Dao was armed, and there were only 5,000 carefully trained sect troops.

As a result, after the occupation of Shangyu, in less than three days, the number of young and strong people who came to join the army exceeded more than 6,000.

Sun Tai organized these people into two armies, which were respectively under the command of Xu Daofu and Lu Xun, and he himself still commanded the 5,000 sect army.

After a little reorganization in Shangyu, Sun Tai led an army of 10,000 and marched towards Shanyin City.

Sanyin City is the place of governance of the Huiji State, and the domestic history of the Huiji is Wang Ningzhi, the son of Wang Xi, who is also a believer in the Wudoumi Sect.

When he heard that Sun Tai was leading the congregation to approach San'in, he naively thought that he and Sun Tai were both parishioners, and the other party would definitely show mercy.

As everyone knows, Sun Tai and Wang Ningzhi, the children of a family who take the Wudou Rice Sect as an interest, are different, and they have pursuits.

Sure enough, after Sun Tai arrived in Shanyin, he ignored Wang Ningzhi at all and directly ordered to attack the county seat.

Wang Ningzhi, who was unprepared, met Sun Tai, who was determined to win, and the result can be imagined.

Even if Wang Ningzhi was escorted in front of Sun Tai, he still had illusions and felt that Sun Tai would not dare to do anything with him.

He was born in the Langya Wang family, and he is a first-class wealthy nobleman in the world, and killing him is tantamount to turning his face with the family.

It's a pity that Sun Tai's goal is very clear, that is, to overthrow the rule of the family, where will he care about the feelings of the family?

Soon, Wang Ningzhi and his four sons were successively ordered to be killed by Sun Tai.

When Wang Ningzhi's father and son were killed, his wife Xie Daoyun was preparing to escape with more than a dozen female dependents in the house.

When the news of the death of her husband and son came, Xie Daoyun was so grief-stricken that she almost lost her breath.

But when she thought that she still had her daughter and young grandson by her side, she could only endure her grief and continue to hurry.

However, at this time, Sanyin City has been occupied by the Five Doumi Sect, how easy is it to get out of the city?

Not surprisingly, Xie Daoyun didn't go far before he was captured by the Five Dou Mi Sect.

Although Sun Tai was not interested in Wang Ningzhi, he admired Xie Daoyun very much, so he didn't embarrass her and let her go.

And Xie Daoyun is quick-witted, knowing that the land of Sanwu will fall into war in the future, and it is very dangerous for her to be a woman with two children.

So, after leaving Shanyin City, Xie Daoyun took his daughter, grandson and dozens of other people to Wujun Hudu.

In Xie Daoyun's eyes, at present, I am afraid that only the Hudubi garrisoned by Hexi people in the entire Jiangdong is safe.

The Wudoumi Rebellion was a well-planned rebellion, and after the capture of Huiji, Sun Tai's army had skyrocketed to tens of thousands.

At the same time, the backbone of the cultists in various counties who had lurked in advance, such as Huiji Xie Xuan, Wu Jun Lu Gui, Wu Xingqiu Yu, Yixing Xu Yunzhi, Linhai Zhou Zhou, Yongjia Zhang Yong, and other sacrificial wines, raised their flags to rebel at the same time.

The crowd gathered to kill the magistrates in response to Sun Tai.

In just 10 days, the total number of rebels in various places has reached hundreds of thousands.

A large number of local officials, such as Wu Xing Taishou Xie Miao, Yongjia Taishou Xie Yi, Jiaxing Gong Gu Yin, Nankang Gong Xie Minghui, Huangmenlang Xie Chong, Zhang Kun, Zhongshulang Kong Dao, Prince Xima Kongfu, and Wucheng Ling Xiahou Su, were beheaded by the rebels.

Wu Guoshi Huanqian, Yixing Taishou Wei Yan, Linhai Taishou, Xincai Wang Sima Chong and others knew that they were invincible, and all abandoned the city and fled.

Only Wu County guarded Yuan Shansong to defend against the rebels, but the rebels were strong, and the situation became more and more precarious.

In order to win the support of the people at the bottom, after conquering various places, Sun Tai ordered the destruction of the family manor and the dock fort, and distributed all the wealth among them to the ordinary people.

At the beginning of the incident, it was unusually smooth, which made the Heavenly Master Dao everyone high-spirited.

Even Sun En, Lu Xun, Xu Daofu and others felt that the general trend had been decided, and it was time to enjoy the glory and wealth next.

Fortunately, Sun Tai did not lose his mind and was still sober.

He asked Lu Xun to draft a document for him, putting all the responsibility for the turmoil on Sima Daozi's father and son, and once again played the banner of Qingjun's side and Zhenchaogang.

This is another point that is more clever than Sun En, in history, Sun En stupidly pointed the finger at Liu Gaozhi, which attracted Beifu soldiers.

Of course, Sun Tai may not be able to win Liu Gaozhi's friendship by doing this, but at least he will not let Liu Gaozhi share the same hatred with the imperial court.

A series of bad news about the Wudou Mijiao uprising and the Sanwu chaos reached Jiankang one after another, causing an uproar and panic.

No matter how confused Sima Daozi is, he knows the importance of Sanwu, and once it is lost, it will inevitably threaten the stability of the country.

The wealthy Sanwu has always been the rear of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and an important supplier of grain and wealth.

Therefore, the land of Sanwu was a place that the Eastern Jin Dynasty court must fight.

Therefore, Sima Daozi's father and son could no longer care about fighting with Huan Xuan, Liu Gaozhi and others, and began to arrange counterinsurgency matters.

……

At the court meeting the next day, Sima Daozi raised his eyes and swept the ministers, and said in an eager tone: "Sun Tai is really hateful, and he actually incited the people to rebel in the name of levying Fa Le's family. ”

"The levy is for the sake of the imperial court, what's wrong? Unexpectedly, he was used by thieves, which was ill-conceived. ”

"The top priority at the moment is to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, lest the thieves shake the foundation of my Great Jin, do you think so?"

Sima Daozi turned the big things into small things and small things, and lightly prevaricated the reasons that inspired the rebellion.

Although everyone secretly slandered themselves, they also knew that it was not appropriate to hold Sima Daozi accountable at the moment.

What's more, from a series of indications, the Wudou Mi Sect uprising was obviously premeditated.

Even if there is no excuse for this levy of Le's family, Sun Tai will still be able to find other excuses next time.

At that moment, everyone nodded their heads and agreed with Sima Daozi's proposal.

At this point, Sima Daozi's father and son quietly breathed a sigh of relief, especially Sima Yuanxian was afraid that everyone would force him to resign and apologize.

Sima Yuanxian knew that he had caused a catastrophe and was eager to save his reputation, so he took the initiative to ask to go to quell the rebellion.

So, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the court should take advantage of the fact that the thieves are not firmly established and immediately send troops." ”

"The minister is not talented, and the original relatives led the forbidden army to collect."

Seeing that his son took the initiative to ask for help, Sima Daozi frowned, and said unhappily: "What do you know about war?!" ”

"I heard that there are now more than 100,000 people under the command of the thief Kou Sun Tai, and it is not enough for you to bring 20,000 forbidden troops to the other party."

"Besides, you took the forbidden army away, who will protect Jiankang?"

"This counterinsurgency cannot rely on the forbidden army, and we have to ask all local towns to come out."

In the end, after consulting with the ministers of the DPRK and China, Sima Daozi issued an order to add Xie Yan to the governor of Wu Xing, the military of the two counties of Yixing, and the military of Liu Gaozhi to the capital of Wu County, and ordered the two to unify the elite of the northern province to suppress the rebellion.

After Xie Yan and Liu Gaozhi received the order of the imperial court, they did not dare to slack off, and they brought their headquarters to quell the rebellion.

While the imperial counterinsurgency army was still on the way, Wu County ushered in the biggest crisis.

More than 10,000 rebels, led by Lu Gui, the backbone of the Wudoumi Sect, came to the city of Hudu.
