"Let's go! Go together, go together! "How bold the people are, as soon as they see someone taking the lead, the rest of the hired workers who have been unemployed for a long time also stand up, these times they have been holding back the fire in their stomachs, and now they have the opportunity to vent, they are naturally willing to follow, and those words just now did speak to their hearts, yes, as long as there are no new looms, they may have to return to the workshop, continue to rely on their own efforts to support the whole family.

"Everyone, you have to remember, we are not bandits and bandits, we just want a bite to eat, so when we get to the workshop, we can only smash those looms, and the rest will not move." The leader is also riding a tiger now, and he can only use such means to try to save a little leeway.

"Let's all listen to Brother Wang." These people are still dreaming of continuing to work in the workshops, and naturally they are unwilling and afraid to hurt the stewards and weavers of those workshops, in other words, these people are not strong in struggle, and have not yet realized the real cause of their miserable fate.

The group immediately marched to the nearest workshop, where there was a gentleman's industry, there were dozens of looms in the workshop, just a small role in the Jiangnan textile workshop, but because of the location of the opening, so it became the first victim of this incident.

The sturdy men of the Thousand Men rushed up, and the guards in the workshop dared to stop them, and they scattered in all directions, and the workers quickly rushed into the workshop, and before the steward and others could react, they smashed all the new looms they had worked so hard to build, and then went to the next workshop.

"Go and tell the master, just say that the weaving work in the city is chaotic, and let the master use his piece to ask the prefect to mobilize soldiers and horses to take down all these weavers who are in trouble! These damn guys should all be beheaded! The weavers did not beat the stewards, but the stewards did not intend to let them go, and the weavers thought that they would not have much hatred with each other just by destroying the machines without harming people, but they forgot that for the owners of these workshops, looms were sometimes more valuable than people, and that taking money from people was a deeper hatred than the hatred of killing their fathers.

These weavers let go of the owner of the workshop, but the owner of the workshop absolutely refused to let them go, the news soon spread to the gentleman standing behind the workshop, he immediately sent someone to take his piece to find the local prefect, the prefect did not dare to slack off, he has been an official here for a long time, naturally knows how powerful the Jiangnan gentry are, so he immediately mobilized the whole city to arrest the weavers who made trouble, but how many officials are there in a city? What could they do in the face of thousands of weavers?

"This matter is not something we can solve, so let's let the prefect mobilize the garrison of the guard to enter the city to quell the chaos." The head of the squad retreated after looking at it from afar, they usually bully and bully the people, and it is almost the same to collect some protection money, and they have no ability to quell the turmoil of thousands of people at all.

The prefect originally thought that it was just a matter of a few gangsters, but now when he heard that there were thousands of people in rebellion, he was immediately frightened, and thousands of young men could set foot on his mansion, so he hurriedly asked the local garrison for help; Now that the military and political affairs in Jiangnan have not yet been completed, these military generals in Jiangnan cannot sit on an equal footing with civilian officials like Lu Xiangsheng and them, and after receiving the order of the prefect, the local garrison generals split and entered the city with the miscellaneous troops in the battalion.

These troops were stationed in the anointed land of Jiangnan, and they had already been smoked by the warm wind of Jiangnan, and Jiangnan had not met soldiers for a long time, and the situation of officers eating empty salaries was worse than that of border towns, so when they wasted a lot of effort to gather the soldiers and bring them to the city, those weavers had already smashed several workshops, and the movement became bigger and bigger.

"General, these chaotic people are quite powerful, if we insist on it, we will not be able to stop it." After weighing the comparison of each other's strengths, the master hurriedly persuaded that now the army of the Jiangnan Guard, let alone dealing with Jiannu and the Mongolian cavalry, even felt quite difficult to deal with these chaotic people.

"Wait... When General Ben goes to send some people in, these people have offended many big families, and if they blame it, General Ben's official position will be lost. "The general who led the team didn't know this, but for the sake of his official position and glory and wealth, he had to fight these people.

The general had read the book of soldiers, and hurriedly arranged for people to protect the workshops of several large families nearby, and then sent people out to transfer troops, and finally dispersed these chaotic people when reinforcements arrived; The reason for this is that these weavers are not resolute enough in their will to fight, and they are afraid when they see the officers and soldiers, and they hurriedly scatter and flee, otherwise it is not certain who will win and who will lose in the real conflict.

Seeing that the chaos had been quelled, the prefect and the generals of the guard did not want to make any more trouble for themselves, but just inquired about the names of a few leaders of the rebellious people and posted a notice of arrest, and let the defenders of the city gate go straight to the city without losing their jobs and weavers to enter the city again, thinking that in this way they could avoid trouble.

But the greater turmoil was still to come, first of all, these workshops that destroyed the looms, found that even if the workshops were now open, they could not make money, and it was an expense to rebuild the looms, so they simply closed the workshops and dismissed those weavers, so that there were more unemployed weavers in Jiangnan.

In addition, the weavers who had participated in the unrest also realized the danger, and they did not dare to stay here, so they went to nearby cities, and then spread the news of what happened here to the surrounding cities, and these news gradually spread throughout Jiangnan with their footprints.

There are not only this one of the cities with a large number of unemployed weavers, but there are also many cities with more unemployed workers than here, and after hearing what happened here, they also regarded the destruction of looms as a good way to save their miserable fate, so the turmoil of destroying looms spread in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

For a while, the whole Jiangnan was in chaos, and those weavers were just thinking about destroying the loom at first, but as the situation developed, the Jiangnan gentry's counterattack became more and more severe, and many weavers who were unfortunately arrested were looked at by them, which immediately deepened the hatred between the two sides, and the weavers began to put the goal of the struggle on those gentry.

So the looms that were used as cornucopia by the gentry became their lifeline, and some weak gentry were even washed into the manor by the rioters, and the gentry began to gradually suffer casualties, and the turmoil in Jiangnan gradually became uncontrollable.
