Chapter 185: The Rebellion in the Red Clothes

According to Su Yi's instructions, Lu Feng replaced the two thousand war horses with stirrups and horseshoes, at first Lu Feng was a little unimpressed after seeing the stirrups, and when Su Yi explained to him the use of the horseshoe, Lu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wonderful!" Lu Feng held a pair of horseshoes in his hand, and said in amazement: "The most serious loss of war horses is often the horse's hooves, no matter how good a horse is, if it hurts the horse's hooves, it can only be reduced to a horse, which is a pity." ”

Su Yiwan smiled and said: "It's just that this stirrup and horseshoes cost a lot of iron ingots, and the number of blacksmiths in my cottage is not much, so it may be difficult to produce them in large quantities for a while." And once these two things are used in war, it is difficult not to be copied by others. ”

Hearing this, Lu Feng nodded, deeply impressed.

While the two were talking, news came from the night sent back by He Kui, and a red-clothed rebellion broke out in Liaodong!

In fact, not only in Liaodong, but also in Jizhou, Bingzhou and other places, the Cardinal Sect instigated a large number of sectarians to make trouble, and gathered displaced people outside the city to attack the counties.

There are some people of insight among the officials of Da Chu, as early as when the Wudou Mi Sect was everywhere to win the hearts of the people, they expected that these people had a great plan, and sure enough, now that the Wudou Mi Sect has broken out in rebellion, they have many believers in the local government offices, and these believers are either internal responses, or have openly supported the Wudou Mi Sect, and have made some remarks in public to overthrow the Great Chu.

The influence of the Wudou Rice Sect is very great, and at this moment, officials from all over the country were caught off guard, and many county towns were quickly taken down by the internal response of the Wudou Rice Sect Joint Official.

In addition to the internal response in the local government offices, some imperial soldiers and horses were also rebelled by the Wudoumi Sect, and took the initiative to put on red clothes and red scarves on their helmets to attack other officers and soldiers of Great Chu.

The main force of the Wudou Mi Sect was dormant in Jizhou, and when the Wudou Mi Sect rebelled, Jizhou Mu Zhu Ye was still asleep, he got up from the bed in a hurry, and when he led his own soldiers to the street, he was cut off by his own subordinates.

Most of the Jizhou army surrendered to the Wudoumi Sect, and many of the generals were originally believers in the Wudoumi Sect, and some of the imperial officers and soldiers who refused to surrender were soon overwhelmed by the red tide.

The Wudou Mijiao Rebellion was also known as the Red Coat Rebellion, and all parts of Great Chu sent urgent reports to the imperial court.

Emperor Chu was in a hurry for sixteen points in one day, and Jizhou, Yunzhou, Yuzhou and other places fell one after another, among which the red-clothed army in Jizhou was the most powerful.

Sun Bin, the leader of the Wudoumi Sect, set his headquarters in Dingyang County, Jizhou, and used the county government as a temporary palace, calling himself the king of Dingyang, claiming to have an army of one million. Many of the three sects and nine streams in various places are members of the Wudoumi Sect, and they have encouraged their relatives and friends to join the Red Clothes Army, and a small number of squires and Haoqiang from all over the country have already joined the Wudoumi Sect, and some Haoqiang are local commanders.

In addition to the Central Plains, the most serious part of the Red Clothes Rebellion was Jiangnan.

Almost overnight, a red tide swept through the six counties and eighty-one prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and the local gentry were either killed by the rebellious outcasts or became prisoners of the Red Coats.

Compared with the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the cholera of the Red Clothes Army in the north is relatively light, and the Wudoumi Sect in Liaodong was quickly exterminated by Gongsun Yiqing and others, Gongsun Yiqing successfully killed the local Qu Shuai, but in a hurry escaped from the helmsman of the Liaodong branch of the Wudou Mi Sect, although the red-clothed rebellion in Liaodong was quickly pacified, but the officers and soldiers of Liaodong were also greatly injured.

The Hu people in the north are ready to move, and the bandits in Liaodong and Youzhou are also waiting for an opportunity.

Youzhou also broke out a large-scale red-clothed rebellion, thanks to the blessings of some Hu tribes, these murderous Hu people actually raised butcher knives against the Wudoumi sect under the call of Liu Yu to help the officers and soldiers of Youzhou quell the chaos.

The equipment of the red-clothed army is too poor, many of them are homeless people holding hoes and sticks, although the number is large, but the combat effectiveness is low, and it cannot play a substantive role, and the real elites of the Wudou Mi Sect are all gathered in Jizhou and Yuzhou.

However, Liu Yu was not happy for long, and found that the situation in Youzhou was becoming more and more out of his control, although the Hu people helped the officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion, but they were cruel by nature, taking advantage of the excuse of counterinsurgency, they wantonly plundered the ordinary people of Youzhou, causing the people's resentment to boil, and the people of many villages were dissatisfied with the Hu people who used the excuse of quelling the chaos to wreak havoc everywhere, and they voted for the Wudou Mijiao in a fit of anger.

Youzhou already has a large number of people, and these villages have more or less some armed forces, and the Wudou Mi Sect, which once struggled to survive in Youzhou, became active, and many bandits in Youzhou also joined the Wudou Mi Sect.

These bandits are different from ordinary homeless people, although their equipment is not as good as that of officers and soldiers, most of them are also equipped with equipment such as knives and leather armor, and some fierce bandits are even equipped with horse sabers and scale armor.

With the addition of the bandits, the strength of the Wudou Mi Sect suddenly increased a lot, and the helmsman and Qu Shuai of the Youzhou branch sent people to contact some bandits in the Zongheng Mountain Range to persuade them to join the Wudou Mi Sect.

The addition of homeless people and bandits allowed the Wudou Rice Sect to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, and some ordinary people and even entire villages defected to the Wudou Rice Sect together. In the end, even some local Haoqiang and squires in Youzhou gradually joined the sequence of the Five Doumi Sect.

The Wudou Rice Sect soon established its roots in Youzhou, and those villages and local powerful Zhuangzi were the usual garrison places of the Wudou Rice Sect. The contradictions between the Hu and Han people in Youzhou have also deteriorated dramatically, and many angry displaced people have even stormed the Hu people's villages.

Originally, the Hu people in Youzhou have not put the Han people in their eyes, they have Liu Yu's support behind them, and the policies of Youzhou are heavily inclined to them, these Hu people even abuse ordinary Han people as pigs and dogs, and they will attack some small villages on weekdays, and take the villagers back as slaves and throw them in the Hu market to sell, and Liu Yu As long as these Hu people are not too excessive, they will generally turn a blind eye, especially, the Hu people in Youzhou are becoming more and more arrogant, this time they were suddenly attacked by Han people and displaced people, and they were suddenly in chaos.

Liu Yu became more and more unpopular in Youzhou, the local Han people took refuge in a large number of Wudou Mijiao, seeing that Youzhou was about to become the second Yuzhou, Liu Yu hurriedly mobilized troops and horses from all over the country to quell the rebellion, these officers and soldiers of the imperial court were exhausted, and when they fought with the Wudou Mijiao, no less than five partial generals had been killed, and the troops were lost as many as 20,000 people.

The interior of the Zongheng Mountain Range was also affected by the Red Clothes Rebellion, and many rogues simply wore red scarves on their heads, claiming that they were members of the Wudoumi Sect, and they were wreaking havoc everywhere, and even some bandits were attacked by this group of bandits. Many cottages were even more affected by the large-scale impact of the rogues, and the small cottages were quickly submerged by this red trend.

The Southern Barren Forest was about to be completed in more than two months, when the Red Clothes Rebellion broke out, and a large number of rogues rushed to the Southern Barren Forest. Su Yi hurriedly asked Scar to support the Southern Wilderness Forest with sword and shield soldiers, and at the same time ordered Lu Feng and Liu Shisan to mobilize cavalry, as long as there were rogues who dared to rush to Peach Blossom Village, they would be killed.
