Chapter 195: Wuchang Uprising 5

As the leader of the entire Wuchang uprising, He Zuxian is under tremendous psychological pressure -- however, He Zuxian did not appear to be in a state of mania or confusion because his actions were completely broken with his own outlook on life and values, as many peasant uprising leaders in history did.

Although He Zuxian is a person with little culture. However, he had heard a lot of historical allusions from his Xiucai uncle. His uncle, who has a deep understanding of history, once told him: Since ancient times, there is no one who has been able to achieve great things without cutting off his own way and then resolutely devoting all his body and mind to one thing.

He Zuxian remembers the two historical allusions most clearly, one is the destruction of the cauldron and the other is the burning of the plank road. For He Zuxian, he believes that the fundamental problem in the dispute between Chu and Han is that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are more ruthless to themselves, and who can cut off their own back road more decisively.

In his opinion, Xiang Yu, who dared to break the cauldron and sink the boat, was certainly decisive enough, but he was still not as thorough as Han Gaozu. Han Gaozu Liu Bang started from a small village elder, and constantly cut off his back road along the way. In the strictest case, his own father, wife, son and daughter can be sacrificed. Compared with Xiang Yu, Han Gaozu is really a ruined boat that does not leave him with a way out.

Although He Zuxian is just a small military attaché, he is also quite bad, and he has mixed himself into a tenant farmer. However, He Zuxian, who has been nurtured by his uncle's knowledge of history, still has his own idol in his heart.

His idol is Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who was born as a rogue village official. As an ordinary person, Han Gaozu's glorious life trajectory from a scoundrel to an emperor is really quite inspirational for him.

He Zuxian once compared himself with Han Gaozu's early situation in his heart. He felt that his situation was even better than that of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. Occasionally, He Zuxian has never substituted himself into the identity of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to commit adultery. He admired the only founding emperor in history (for His Holiness, He Zuxian's uncle did not tell him about the origin of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of this dynasty) who was born from the common people.

After He Zuxian stood in the position of the leader of the Wuchang Uprising, his first reaction was to cut off himself and all the soldiers who participated in this incident. Although his actions were guided by his own vague understanding. However, objectively, killing all the high-ranking civil and military officials in the Wuchang area is really a very smart move.

Several of his brothers and sisters soon collected more than 300 soldiers who had seen blood but were still in a stable state of spirit. After they returned to the General Army's Yamen, they first used the facilities and materials in the General Army's Yamen to fill their stomachs. After that, they went straight to the Yamen of the Huguang Governor under the leadership of He Zuxian.

The Huguang Governor's Yamen has its own special armed force responsible for security work. However, in the general environment where all the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty are collapsing and have collapsed, these guards who are responsible for the security of the Ming Dynasty's supreme ruling group in the Huguang region have all decayed, like the vast majority of Ming soldiers in the world.

Under the leadership of He Zuxian, the hundreds of soldiers of the soft-footed shrimp-like patrol battalion were quickly wiped out.

Killing people, especially those who have a higher social status than they don't know how high, is not something that everyone can do in a society like ancient China, which has a clear hierarchy and a clear hierarchy.

Of course, this kind of thing will not be easy in modern society, but it is the law that modern people dare not kill people at will. In ancient society, you really provided the corresponding conditions and situations for a person at the bottom of society, and there were quite few people who could do it.

It's not that they don't dare to do it because it's illegal to kill people, it's just because ordinary people, as the ruling class, inherently consider themselves inferior. They felt in their bones that it was completely undesirable to offend the superior.

It's these rebellious soldiers of Wuchang Left Guard. Don't look at them now, they all seem to dare to do anything. And in fact, they have indeed rebelled. However, in their heads, their understanding of the rebellion is quite sloppy. Kill those family members, these soldiers dare to do it. But if they really let them kill those officials, when they fall into the real tricks, they may not dare to do it.

Then, among such a group of more than 2,000 soldiers who did not know enough about their rebellion, He Zuxian, who dared to attack and kill the big officials without hesitation, seemed particularly authoritative.

He Zuxian killed a general soldier of Huguang, and hundreds of soldiers began to follow him firmly. After he killed all the way from the Huguang Governor's Yamen to the Wuchang Mansion, and killed forty or fifty high-ranking civil and military officials, the entire Wuchang Left Guard soldiers who participated in the riot began to certify He Zuxian's leadership from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, don't look at He Zuxian's actions, it seems that he has a clear goal and a well-planned appearance. But in fact, what He Zuxian did was a subconscious move. He still lacks a correct understanding of the fact that he is a rebel and that he has openly become an enemy of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty.

Let's take the simplest example. In fact, the richest and most powerful person in Wuchang City is not the Yamen of the General Army of Huguang, nor is it the Yamen of the Governor of Huguang. Rather, it occupies one-third of the entire Wuchang Mansion City.

He Zuxian dared to lead the soldiers to attack the Yamen of the General Soldier and the Yamen of the Governor, and dared to kill the General Soldier of Huguang and the Governor of Huguang. However, for the royal princes and nobles Chu Wangfu, which had countless gold, silver, treasures and food materials in Wuchang City, He Zuxian did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Of course, this does not mean that the Chu Wangfu was unscathed in the Wuchang Uprising.

After He Zuxian led the soldiers to purge the supreme ruling institutions in the entire Huguang region and killed almost all the official civil and military officials in Wuchang City, the Wuchang Uprising began to spread from the soldiers to the citizens.

Living in Wuchang City does not mean that the soldiers of Wuchang Left Guard are not well fed and clothed, but the lives of ordinary people in Wuchang City are well fed and warmly dressed. The guards must bear the exploitation of military attachés at all levels, and the common people must accept the exploitation of officials at all levels; The guards were to farm the land for the officers as serfs, and the common people were to be serfs for the landlords; The guards are threatened by natural disasters, and the common people are also threatened by natural disasters.

Therefore, after discovering that the soldiers of Wuchang Left Guard broke through the regimes at all levels in Wuchang City and began to eat and drink in these yamen, and found that there was no armed force in the entire Wuchang City that could maintain the rule of officials at all levels and suppress the people, the citizens of Wuchang Mansion started from a few people who followed the soldiers to take advantage of them, and gradually became the citizens of the entire Wuchang Mansion took the initiative to participate.

After the soldiers opened the warehouses of the general army, the governor's yamen, and the prefect's yamen, they found that there were not many things in these warehouses. Let's divide it, let's divide it, and there's not much left.

From this time on, the soldiers and the people of Wuchang Mansion who participated in the soldiers' actions began to turn their eyes to the rich people in Wuchang City
