When the anti-reckless armed struggle we just talked about took place, Liu Xiu was only over 10 years old and was studying in Xiao County.

When he was 15 years old, when he returned to his hometown of Nanyang with his family from Xiao County, the Xinmang regime was already extremely passive politically, and the vast number of cadres and the masses were opposed

Recklessness is very high, and anti-recklessness has been burning everywhere.

However, at this time, the anti-reckless activities were still dominated by the Liu clan and the big bureaucrats who supported Liu, and the common people mainly cooperated.

However, although the purpose of this wave of uprisings is very clear, that is, to cut down Wang Mang, it is not on a large scale, more than 100,000 people,

There are as few as 100 people, which is obviously too small compared to the army in Wang Mang's hands; There is also no brand, except for the proposed who will be the emperor, and there is no clear

Political purpose, program, and strategic tactics, that is, there is no such banner that can bring people's hearts together.

As a result, these activities are a bit out of class.

However, whether he returned to his hometown to farm or studied in Chang'an, the complex social changes and the innate royal bloodline made Liu Xiuzi

However, he has a strong interest in politics and pays special attention to the development and changes of the current situation.

It is also because Wang Mang is a hypocrite of the highest level after all, and he has finally succeeded in radicalizing each with his special hypocrisy, greed, cruelty and incompetence

This kind of social contradiction has stirred up the people of the whole country to rebel against him.

Therefore, when Liu Xiu bid farewell to Li Tong in Wancheng in October 22 AD and returned to his hometown of Nanyang Chungling with Li Yi, the people rebelled on a large scale

The reckless uprising was already on a large scale.

For example, the Green Forest Uprising and the Red Eyebrow Uprising have been breaking out for several years.

I don't know if you have noticed, we just said that Liu Xiu is from Caiyang, Nanyang, why did he come to Chungling again.

It's actually the same thing, it's just a matter of size.

Chungling is also an ancient place name, which belonged to the jurisdiction of Chu during the Warring States Period, and was a township (now in Ningyuan County, Yongzhou City, Hunan) in the Western Han Dynasty, which belonged to Changsha

Houguo Lingling County and Lengdao County are under the jurisdiction.

Liu Xiu's ancestor and grandson of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty Liu Mai was named the Marquis of Chungling, and the fief was in this place.

At that time, it was still a wild place.

In 45 B.C., that is, in the 4th year of the first Yuan Emperor, Liu Mai's grandson, Kao Hou Liu Ren, reported to the imperial court, saying that the terrain of Chungling was low-lying and wet, and the mountains and forests were poisonous

The gas is spreading, and it is really unsuitable for people to live, so I ask to move inward, even if I reduce the food estate.

With the approval of the imperial court, Liu Ren and his cousin Liu Hui led the family to migrate to Baishui Township in Caiyang, Nanyang County, and still retained the title and title of Marquis of Chungling, Bai

The water town was renamed Chungling and separated into a marquis.

Liu Hui is Liu Xiu's grandfather.

In this way, saying that Liu Xiu is a native of Nanyang and Caiyang is a big geographical concept, and saying that he is a native of Chungling is one of the small geographical concepts.

Because this area is about to fight a big war, it is necessary for us to make the place name of Chungling clear, and this place name will be used many times in the future.

When Liu Xiu was in trouble with Xinye, Liu Xiu quietly carried out preparations for the anti-reckless armed uprising, and the arrival of Liu Xiu and Li Yi, who was "a good thing", played a role

The effect of collecting firewood and adding fuel to the fire.

One day, Liu Xuan gathered his relatives, friends and local heroes to deliver an impassioned speech:

"Wang Mang is tyrannical and unreasonable, and the people are not happy. Now there have been droughts for many years, and there is chaos everywhere, and the common people have no way to live. This is exactly what God wants to destroy

At the time of the New Mang Dynasty. Everyone should rise up to fight, revive the Han family, and establish eternal achievements! ”

In fact, what he said has been brewing and discussing with everyone in private for a long time, and now he is gathering troops in a hurry, and all the heroes unanimously agree.

So, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu quickly arranged for relatives and friends to go to several places to recruit troops and buy weapons.

This year, Liu Xiu is 27 years old, which is not too young!

He looked at the high Lion Mountain in front of the village, listened to the meandering Baishui River at the foot of the mountain, and imagined the four seasons on the mountain among the pines and cypresses

What else is changing?

After years of vicissitudes of life and years of planning and accumulation, today, I'm going to make a move!

It's not easy to get me to make a move.

Once upon a time, I didn't want to be in the limelight, but if I could marry Yin Lihua and become a big official in the capital, it would already be a great success in my life.

But now, the outside world is too exciting.

You Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, belittled the Liu clan, expropriated and extorted, and acted recklessly, so that no one in the world could live, and my own family also lived very hard.

Now everyone wants to flatten you Wang Mang, that's because you really owe it!

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes are created in the times.

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero.

Okay, everyone, please let me go, my name is Liu Xiu, I'm here!

Liu Xiu and his family were relatively late in recklessness.

No one can do anything about this, there is an age factor.

For example, in April 6 AD, when Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, opened the first battle of armed anti-mangling in Nanyang, Liu Xiu was only 11 years old.

At the same time, it is also related to their political status and standard of living, and they generally do not have to worry about food and do not have to risk survival in order to survive

Death is hard.

Of course, there is also a very important point, which is related to Liu Xiu's character quality.

Liu Xiu always thinks twice before acting, plans and moves, has no certainty of success, and generally does not act recklessly. And as long as he sees the right thing, once the fire

When the conditions were ripe and the conditions were right, he acted quickly and unswervingly carried out to the end.

This kind of character quality is: to make a decision after planning, and to be cautious and sensitive.

Character determines destiny.

Although on the surface, Liu Xiu's army was a process from being pushed by others to acting consciously, and at the beginning of the uprising, he was still active in his eldest brother Liu

Under the banner of the Banner, however, he always has his own opinions in his heart.

This kind of self-assertive, tenacious and introverted psychological quality, as well as the character quality of resourcefulness and decision-making, prudence and sensitivity, make him go fast and avoid detours

Ordinary people can't catch up yet; made him walk very horizontally, and his footsteps were hidden from time to time, so that ordinary people could not see the doorway, so he went to the front; to make him go far,

Ordinary people can't reach that level.

After serious consultations with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu believed that the children of Chung Ling were the most reliable, and they must first be mobilized quickly. At the same time, it is arranged in several other places

Among the friends who responded, the more certain and reliable one was Li Tong's mutiny in Wancheng.

So, the brothers quickly erected an anti-reckless banner in Chungling, and organized seven or eight thousand Chungling children

Optimus Prime, who commands the public.

This rebel army started from Chungling, with the children of Chungling as the backbone, and was called the "Chungling Army". They also clearly put forward the slogan of reviving the Han family, which is also called

for the "Han Army".

Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers just waited for the arrival of the autumn day, echoing the mutiny of Li Tong in Wancheng, everyone joined forces and turned him upside down!

However, within a few days, there was shocking bad news from Wancheng:

Li Tong fled and was beheaded by the government!
