In the feudal dynasties, the popular rebellion was a very terrible thing, and its horror was that it was extremely inflammatory.

With an illiteracy rate of more than 90 percent, most of the people are ignorant, and as long as someone casually incites a few words, they will follow suit, and even if they are sober-minded and unwilling to oppose it, they will be coerced into entering, and if they do not oppose it, they will have to rebel.

So the confluence becomes a stream, and finally it becomes an ocean.

However, there is a difference between "popular rebellion" and "rebellion," and their nature is different.

Rebellion is premeditated, organized, and has leading figures, as well as clear goals and strategic intentions, to put it simply, Lao Tzu is determined to overthrow you and become the emperor himself.

The civil change is different, its occurrence is a relatively accidental situation, several people get together to chat, the more they chat, the more unhappy they become, they feel that they can't live, they can't live anyway, it's better to do something.

This is the goal is uncertain, the intention is also vague, all with blood and impulse, they don't know what they want, or what they want is very simple, they just want to be fed and clothed, and they have no intention of attacking the city and plundering the land to overthrow the dynasty.

If some important elements are suddenly added to a popular uprising, then the popular uprising will instantly turn into a rebellion.

These important elements are a leader with incredible courage, a scholar or scholars who are unwilling, a group of murderous talents who are fierce and murderous, and the more and more displaced people who cannot survive.

The combination of these things is very terrible for a dynasty, and this force is likely to become a big thing, even if it can't overthrow the dynasty, it can also make it shed its skin, and the country's fortunes will decline from then on.

Li Qinzai is not worried about the current civil unrest in Jiangnan, he knows very well that this group of people will not be able to become a climate.

Because these are only a few thousand people gathered by a few small landlords, these small landlords cannot have amazing leadership courage, and they also lack the people to give advice to them.

Without these two things, they are at best a rabble, and a single charge can crush them with only a single charge.

Even if this group of people gathers more than 10,000 people, they can't even break Gusu City, let alone sweep the world.

With no weapons, no food and grass logistics, and no clear strategic intentions, they gathered all the way from Jiangning to Gusu, and they were more like poor people who were bewitched by rumors and gathered to petition the imperial court outside the city of Gusu.

Therefore, Li Qinzai did not intend to carry out a bloody suppression of this popular uprising, as long as this group of people did not destroy the area and did not kill people, set fire and loot all the way, then here in Li Qinzai, they are a group of poor people, not a chaotic army.

Since they did not intend to suppress it, they must use the name of the Jiangnan Wang clan to deter them.

"Tomorrow, the fifth young man will have a banquet for the heads of the seven wang clans, they have come to Gusu City in advance, and they are all staying in the city pavilion tonight, and the villain will go to tell them." Feng Suyu said.

Li Qinzai snorted, but Feng Su said: "At this time, enter Gusu City, wake up a few family heads, and let them go out of the city immediately to quell the people's rebellion, I'm afraid it's too late, according to the itinerary of this group of chaotic people, it will arrive outside Gusu City in about an hour and surround our camp......"

"Once the camp is surrounded, the situation will be uncontrollable, even if Wu Shaolang doesn't want to suppress it with soldiers, the national law will not allow this group of chaotic people to live, and we can't do it without troops."

Li Qinzai rubbed his face.

At this time, Li Qinzai's battalion still had about 3,000 soldiers and horses, fully equipped, and strong and strong.

Even if the other party gathers tens of thousands, Li Qinzai is confident that he will be defeated with one blow.

He really didn't want to kill this group of people, but he was just a group of poor people who were bewitched by rumors, and perhaps half of them were forced to be coerced, after all, the prestige of the landlords and squires in the countryside was too high, and this group of poor peasants could not follow them.

"Send a thousand soldiers and horses to intercept this group of civilians halfway......" Li Qinzai said slowly after pondering.

As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly walked into the handsome tent, but it was Li Sujie.

After Li Sujie came in, he saluted, looked directly into Li Qinzai's eyes, and said, "If the gentleman believes in the disciples, can you let the disciples stop them?" ”

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "How are you going to stop them?" ”

Li Sujie smiled and said: "I am a disciple of Mr. or the prince of the Tang Dynasty, do they believe what these two identities say?" ”

"The disciple agrees with Mr.'s attitude, they are not chaotic people, just a group of poor people who have been bewitched by rumors, can they not kill or try not to kill."

"The disciple brought a small number of people over, and as a disciple of Mr. and the current prince, he clarified the rumors, and the chaos can be solved."

Li Qinzai smiled: "There may be people with bad intentions among them, you are not afraid of being shot by cold arrows?" ”

Li Sujie also smiled: "They didn't make it, or rather, they didn't dare to make things happen to this point, if they shot the current prince, everyone would have to die, what did they want?" ”

Saying that, Li Sujie bowed for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "The disciple went down to the south of the Yangtze River with Mr., and he made no achievements along the way, but the disciple learned a lot from Mr., please believe me once, and try to let the disciple deal with this matter, whether it is successful or not, the disciple can leave with his whole body." ”

Li Qinzai looked at him with deep eyes, for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Okay, go and stop them, if they disperse on the spot, and go back to their respective homes, I will not pursue this matter, if they are stubborn and continue to gather to make trouble, outside Gusu City is the place where their bones are buried." ”

"You tell them that it is one thing to gather the people, and it is another thing to surround the imperial court city or the military camp, and the two are by no means of the same nature."

"Give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and transfer another hundred Li family troops to protect you, Sujie, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must live."

Li Sujie saluted happily and turned to leave.

Under the starry night, whistles sounded everywhere in the camp, and soldiers and horses began to assemble.

A moment later, Li Sujie put on armor and led a hundred Li family members and a thousand soldiers and horses with firearms out of the camp.

Li Qinzai stood outside the tent and watched Li Sujie leave, his eyes full of relief and worry.

The child seems to have really grown up.

Many years ago, his grandfather Li Tao also silently watched him leave home like this, and his mood Li Qinzai only realized at this moment.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of inheritance, a reincarnation.

…………

Early in the morning, as soon as the day dawned, seven carriages slowly arrived outside the camp.

In addition to the carriage, the seven family heads even had a pitiful entourage around them, and they probably didn't dare to show off their pomp outside Li Qinzai's camp, for fear of arousing Li Qinzai's disgust.

The carriage stopped outside the gate, and seven people entered on foot.

The weather was nice, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

With such good weather, of course, the banquet was held outdoors.

A row of low tables was set up outside the tent, and the low tables were full of delicious food and wine.

Today's Li Qinzai is wearing a very formal purple official robe and a gauze crown on his head, looking not angry and arrogant, which is awe-inspiring.

Different from the past private exchanges, today is a formal occasion, and it is also a formal negotiation between Li Qinzai, as the Son of Heaven, and the seven major clans in Jiangnan, or an exchange of interests.
