Hua fought in the middle of the river in full swing, smooth sailing, not only made money, but the territory of the above name has surpassed the previous dynasties of the Great Jin Dynasty did not get any actual benefits, but fell into a crisis, the reason is very simple, there are people in Xuzhou Za0F.

The person who took the lead Za0F is called Fan Zhiwen, formerly known as Fan Liu, I don't know if he was ranked sixth or born only six catties, he was originally a member of the family in Huai Y City, Guangling County, Xuzhou (now west of Qingjiang City, Jiangsu Province), that is, a glorious domestic slave.

Fan Liu, who was born as a domestic slave, originally worked as a merchant servant in Fanfu, that is, a partner of a business in Fanfu. Huai Y is located at the confluence of Huaishui and Surabaya, which is the important town of Xuzhou waterway transshipment. Taking advantage of the favorable geographical location of Huai Y, coupled with its own connections and influence in the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, Fan Fu opened several business names, specializing in the trade of Huai salt, grain and other goods, covering almost the entire Xuzhou. Since the rise of Beifu, a large number of goods from Beifu flocked to the south, and the Fanfu firm dredged through various relationships, and finally became the "general agent" of several major businesses in Beifu in Guangling and Linhuai counties.

Fan Liu often went in and out of Qingzhou and Yanzhou in Beifu with the steward, and sometimes lived for several months, and he was more than seventeen or eighteen years old when he was "studious and knowledge-seeking", so he often went to the church temple in the county town of Beifu in his free time.

Three or four years later, the steward saw that Fan Liu not only pretended to give himself an official name of Fan Zhiwen, but also popped up new academic terms such as the Juntian system and property rights in Beifu from time to time, and knew that the heart of this house slave had been swayed by Beifu. Immediately sent him back to Huai Y City, and informed the owner of Fan's Mansion that he arranged to marry a maid and divide more than a dozen acres, so that he could turn into a tenant serf, and grow grain for Fan's Mansion with peace of mind and produce a new generation of domestic slaves for Fan's Mansion.

After staying for less than two months, Fan Liu felt that he really couldn't stand this kind of hard life with his back to the sky, and recalling the days of those people who had seen the land in Beifu, Fan Liu felt more and more that he was living in hell, and his heart was even more resentful. So he began to nag about what he had seen and heard in Beifu to the villagers and neighbors next to him. Unexpectedly, Fan Liu's nagging was actually very popular among the nearby villagers. Now the people under the rule of the Jiangzuo court are becoming more and more embarrassed, and the main family is getting more and more exploited.

When Fan Liu saw such a scene, he couldn't help but become more and more pretentious, in addition to telling the new things in Beifu, he also began to relay some truths in the Holy Sect. Since Fan Liu had not received a systematic education, and the teachings and other knowledge of the Holy Religion he knew were all heard intermittently, he did not understand it and dared to tell it to the villagers. But Fan Liu was very clever, and he mixed these very demagogic holy teachings with Buddhism and the Heavenly Master Dao. has become a set of theories that can fool the villagers, and Fan Liu will replace some things that don't make sense with ghosts and gods. More and more layers of mysticism smeared Fan Liu, so Fan Liu began to talk about the truth he had "summarized".

Since the Jiangzuo Imperial Court implemented the Land Breaking Law, it first strictly controlled the people and domestic slaves under its subordinates to prevent them from escaping north, and then tightly sealed the border to prevent the people of Jiangzuo from stealing the border, and finally saw that the propaganda ability of the Beifu missionaries and literati was too strong, so they began to restrict the entry of Beifu personnel into Jiangzuo, and strictly prohibited the spread of Beifu ideas such as holy religion and new learning. Although the newspapers of Beifu were able to be brought into Jiangzuo, they were enjoyed by literate literati. While reading the newspaper, they sighed and were jealous of the wealth and strength of Beifu, and turned their heads to say to the people under them that Beifu is not good! Desperate for military force. Sooner or later, it's going to be over!

Fan Liu felt that these Jiangzuo scholars were very hypocritical, and while envying the wealth of the people of Beifu, he imagined that he could be invited to give a lecture by a certain national or state school in Beifu. Not only can you be famous all over the world, but you can also have a good tour of Beifu; But on the other side, he desperately attacked Beifu in Jiangzuo, saying that this is not good and that is not good, Ga0 is illiterate, and the people who are illiterate don't understand why these scholars hate Beifu so much but line up to go to Beifu?

Fan Liu didn't understand the mood of these gate lords. These families can be said to have both Ai and hatred for Beifu. Ai Beifu's rich supply of goods and strong academic atmosphere, some of them have slowly formed an "alliance of interests" with Beifu through commerce and trade, and some have admired Beifu because of academic exchanges, but they are unwilling to break the current life and habits, and are unwilling to accept that Beifu is slowly changing the social environment.

Due to the strict blockade of the Jiangzuo court, the people of Jiangzuo also knew little about the situation in Beifu, and Fan Liu's "nonsense" just satisfied their thirst for knowledge. Soon, Fan Liu's "doctrine" and name spread all over the nearby counties and counties, and he became an omniscient person in the hearts of the villagers.

When Fan Liu enjoyed the reverence of the villagers, he found that this could not change his current living situation in the slightest, he was still a serf, his life, his family, and everything he had belonged to Fan Mansion in Huai Y City. Fan Liu really wanted to flee north to the territory of Beifu and live the kind of good life he had seen before. But this kind of risk is extremely high, and it is very likely that he will be caught by the patrolling Jiangzuo army, and once caught, what awaits Fan Liu will be a cruel punishment; It was a fluke to escape to Beifu, because Beifu still nominally belongs to the Great Jin Dynasty, and the relationship with the Jiangzuo families is also good, Beifu is receiving the people and serfs who fled to the north

However, he will not be sent back to Jiangzuo, but he will give a sum of money to Jiangzuo's main family, and this large amount of money will be paid off by the people of Jiangzuo who fled north with several years of hard work.

But another path soon appeared in front of Fan Liu's eyes. A group of bandits entrenched in Yandu (present-day Yancheng, Jiangsu) quietly visited Fan Liu, and after listening to his increasingly mysterious speech, they immediately sighed and were willing to serve him as their leader and make a career.

Fan Liu was overwhelmed when he heard this, knowing that this gang of bandits wanted to use his reputation to expand the team, but he could use this gang of bandits to make a big deal. "Will the prince be the prime minister, would you rather have a kind?" This sentence heard in Beifu made Fan Liu make up his mind, the general of Beifu was just a child of a down-and-out family back then, and in the end, he also led a group of homeless people to build such a big business. Although I can't be a general, I can earn a small family business.

So Fan Liu and the bandits gnotted. First of all, it strengthened the "dissemination of Fan's thought" and began to purchase weapons and armor. After making full preparations, Yu Taihe rose up in the spring of the fourth year, gathered more than 10,000 men and captured SyAn County (now the east of Baoying County, Jiangsu).

Fan Liu proclaimed himself the general of Zhendong, divided six generals, twelve partial generals and twenty-four lieutenants, and put forward the slogan of "equal land, equal wealth and poor". At one time, villagers and serfs responded one after another, and more than 50,000 people gathered in less than a month. Fan Liu was high-spirited and led his army to capture Ping'an (southwest of present-day Baoying County, Jiangsu). Huaipu (present-day Lianshui, Jiangsu) and Lingxian (present-day Siyan, Jiangsu) surrounded Huai Ycheng, the seat of Guangling County.

Hearing the Fan Liu incident, the Jiangzuo court was shocked, and immediately sent an edict to Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Su and immediately send troops to suppress it. He led 20,000 soldiers and horses to set out from below, and first defeated the Fan Liuchao army east of Lingxian County, beheading more than 1,000. The rebels were routed and rushed to flee, and the looted belongings they had brought with them were abandoned on the roadside and everywhere. When the Xuzhou army saw these belongings, they didn't chase the rebels. Hurriedly bowed his head to pick up these belongings, and later the Xuzhou army not only many people discarded their weapons in order to concentrate on collecting their belongings. Many people began to scramble.

—

Seeing this situation, Fan Liu hurriedly gathered more than 10,000 "JiNg Rui Sergeants" led by the original salt bandits, returned to fight, and promised to disperse all the property according to the merits after killing the retired officers and soldiers. In a big battle, the chaotic army that was brave and brave for a while actually killed and scattered the officers and soldiers, and fled back in the wilderness to collect the remnants of the army, but they had no courage to fight again.

After the victory, the rebellious army took advantage of the situation to besiege Huai Y, fought hard for several days, and finally captured this Guangling county city, and hundreds of people such as Qin Yu and others in Guangling County were in the chaos army. Hundreds of families in the city were looted by the rebels, and Si was injured. And the rebel army was even more prosperous, and it actually gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. <: I had no choice but to ask Sima Huanwen to come out and suppress the Huai Y rebellion.

Huan Wen ordered Yuan Zhen, the assassin of Southern Yuzhou stationed in Shouchun, to lead the army out of Dangtu, and he led more than 20,000 Jianye Su guards out of Quanjiao, and the troops were divided into two ways to go to Xuzhou. Pacify the six chaotic armies of Fan. Yuan Zhenjun, who was far away, instead got into fire with the rebel army first and fought in Xu County, Linhuai County, Xuzhou. After several days of hard fighting, although Yuan Zhen's army relied on the "regular army" to occupy a little advantage, the rebel army relied on the terrain and the large number of people, and it did not fall behind much.

At this moment, Yuan Zhen suddenly heard that there was a change in the Beifu army in Northern Yuzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shouchun. Yuan Zhen panicked at this time, he guarded Shouchun, ran Nanyu Prefecture for several years, this is already his own nest, if Shouchun is lost, he will not only become a lost dog, but also will be used as a scapegoat by the Jiangzuo court. And Yuan Zhen, judging from his experience in dealing with Beifu for several years, Beifu is the most Aig to rob land while it is hot.

Yuan Zhen withdrew his troops back to Shouchun overnight, which made Fan Liu overjoyed, and immediately led the victorious army south to "attack" the Huan Wen army head-on.

Huan Wen not only did not receive Yuan Zhen's withdrawal notice, but was also ambushed by more than 100,000 rebel troops in an unsuspecting situation. Huan Wen originally didn't take this chaotic army to heart, but wanted to use the chaotic army to consume the last new force of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court.

100,000 chaotic troops rushed over, and soon the Wuyi Guards were in chaos. These "JiNg Rui Army" of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, which had been guarding Jianye City, soon fell into the vast sea of "people's war". Huan Wen killed hundreds of defeated troops in a row, but he still couldn't stop the retreat of the guards, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Defeated the world-famous Sima Huan Wen, Fan Liuyi didn't know what his surname was, Yu Taihe set himself up as king in Huai Y in October of the fourth year, called "King Wu", and proclaimed himself the general of the universe, and supervised the military of Liuhe.

Huan Wen Hero I, I didn't expect to fall in Fan Liu's YG0u, and I was so angry that I couldn't eat for several days. Moreover, at this time, the ministers of the Jiangzuo court took the defeat as a great opportunity to attack Huan Wen in groups, and the literati even wrote lyrics and essays to ridicule Huan Wen. It seems that at this time, it is more important to make fun of Huan Wen B and pacify Fan Liu's chaotic army.

Huan Wen mobilized Jingxiang JiNg soldiers and Dan An JiNg soldiers on the one hand, preparing to use down-to-earth military strength to pacify the Fan Liuchao army; On the one hand, he defended himself and shifted all the responsibility to Yuan Zhen, who withdrew from the army without authorization. Yuan Zhen was not to be outdone, it was not that he did not report to Huan Wen, but because Huan Wen suddenly changed the route of the march, so that the envoy could not find Huan Wen's army for a while, and as a result, Huan Wen was unsuspecting.

Yuan Zhen is also a generation of celebrities, and he also has connections in the court, so he gathered soldiers and horses.

Yuzhou territory, and also defended himself, called the collision with Tianqu, and called Huan Wen.

In the first month of the fifth year of Taihe, Fan Liu, no, Fan Zhiwen called the puppet emperor in Huai Y, the country name Wu, and called himself the holy messenger, and was the thirty-sixth generation descendant of the Holy Lord H Emperor. One night in the evening, he was guided and inspired by the Lord to come to the relief of the suffering people.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zuo was in an uproar, but Jiang You was angry and scolded, it doesn't matter if you Fan Liu is the emperor, but you should never call yourself a holy messenger, and you should have a relationship with the holy lord, isn't this embarrassing to the Holy Sect with tens of millions of believers? The first to attack was the Cardinal Archbishopric, which issued a statement in the newspaper Zhenzhi in which they angrily denounced Fan Liu as a fallacy to confuse the public. It is a heresy heresy, calling on all T Holy Sect followers to resolutely fight against the Demon Sect!

Immediately afterwards, the Beifu government, which had always had an ambiguous attitude, began to act. Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Northern Yuzhou are all under martial law in the counties close to Xuzhou, and the government soldiers began to move to Donghai and Pengcheng counties, putting great pressure on Xuzhou Thorn Shisu, but he was newly defeated not long ago, and he could only shrink in the line of Xia and Pengcheng. In the spring and February of the fifth year of Taihe, Beifu announced that it would help the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and sent 10,000 cavalry from Northern Yuzhou to attack Huai Y, beheading more than 1,000 people, defeating tens of thousands of enemies, and then turning back to Northern Yuzhou. More than 60,000 people of Xuzhou followed him and poured into the territory of Beifu.

Fan Liu, the puppet emperor of Wu who had just ascended the throne, felt the pressure from the northern province and immediately changed the direction of expansion and concentrated all his efforts to operate southward. It successively captured Gaoyou, < Bingfeng pointed directly at Guangling (now north of Yangzhou, Jiangsu), Tangyi and other places. It seriously threatens the construction industry across the river.

The Jiangzuo court also panicked for a while, and immediately stopped attacking Huan Wendi, changed its caliber, and strongly demanded that Huan Wen send troops to quell the rebellion.

Huan Wen also didn't want to see Fan Liu continue to "wanton" Xuzhou, and also hoped to save his reputation on this traitor. So he quickly led 30,000 Jingxiang troops down the river, and requisitioned 20,000 Yangzhou Danyi soldiers, and then waved his army north. In April, he defeated the rebels of Fan Liu in Gaoshan, and then captured the new capital of Fan and thieves.

The crisis was lifted, and Huan Wen and Jiangzuo began to argue with Yuan Zhen and Yu again. One side wants to be protected, and the other side resolutely demands that he be removed from his post and investigated, and for a while there is a lot of trouble.

On the other hand, Jiang Zuo's "people of insight" began to reflect on the reasons for Fan Liu's rebellion, and some people said that it was because the serf villagers were too slippery and wanted to turn the sky upside down; Some are too heavy to pay taxes and levies; Some say that the heroes of Guangling County and the officials are tied up and oppress the people too much, which caused the rebellion of the people; Of course, there are still a few people who count this incident on the land of the people of Beifu, saying that it was caused by the rumors and incitement of Beifu J.

The Xuzhou incident was also being discussed in Beifu, and an article by a student from Chang'an University's School of Economics caught the attention of Wang Meng and other important officials in Beifu.

In the article, the student pointed out that the Xuzhou incident had already reflected the economic situation of the Jiangzuo court, which was due to the dumping of goods in Beifu, which plundered the wealth of the Jiangzuo family in a predatory trade. Although in a sense, many of the high-ranking families in Beifu have lived a very good life, and it seems that B has become more affluent and luxurious before, this is a very economic situation.

The Jiangzuo family exchanged tea, silkworm cocoons, tung oil, grain, ore and other raw materials for a large number of silver and copper coins from Beifu, but they had to use more money to exchange for goods in Beifu, such as glass, fine wine, paper, books, cotton cloth, woolen wool and so on. This student named Xia took Beifu cotton cloth as an example, and in the third year of Taihe, Beifu dumped 1.1 million pieces of hydraulic woven cotton cloth to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Guangzhou in Jiangzuo, equivalent to 7.7 million yuan in Beifu silver, equivalent to two-thirds of all the expenses incurred by Beifu in purchasing raw materials from Jiangzuo in the third year of Taihe.

The powerful families of Jiangzuo, who did not know the concept of balance of payments, had to maintain balance of payments in practice, and they had to exchange more raw materials for Beifu silver coins in order to maintain their luxurious life, so they had to squeeze more money from serfs and tenants. In this cycle, because Jiang Zuo did not have the "industrial and agricultural economic strength" that could compete with Jiang You, he was always in a situation where his expenditure far exceeded his income in trade, and he was getting closer and closer to bankruptcy in the process of becoming more and more luxurious. Once the serfs and tenants were overwhelmed and began to resist, it was the beginning of Jiangzuo's economic collapse, and Jiangzuo's family would find that they were actually destitute, and there was almost no other wealth except for some useless houses, decorations, and luxury goods. At the end of the article, the student pointed out sharply that at present, the strongest economic strength is not how many mountains, forests, and land it has, but the ability to produce how much grain and how many goods it can produce, and the greatest wealth is not how much gold, silver, and jewelry, but the means and activities of trade that exchange low for high.

Seeing this article, Wang Meng, Che Yin and others couldn't help but sigh that it was really a national soldier, and after inquiring carefully, they learned that it was a student of Qian Fugui, and he had been instructed by the general, so he couldn't help but understand.

The Xuzhou incident seems to have subsided, but its effects are slowly being revealed, as Xia said in the article.
