Section 3 Minor Rebellions

Twenty years later, Tang Chuan, a (part-time) deputy inspector general of the family and a (full-time) historian, published his magnum opus, "Analysis of the Causes of the Great Far Eastern Rebellion of 779 -- Some Analysis of the Dialectical Relationship between Historical Necessity and Historical Accident from the Perspectives of Economic, Political, Humanities, and Geography -- My Views on My Reconsideration" -- the purpose of publishing this paper was actually to obtain a high-ranking title from it, so as to increase one-level salary. The editors who really suffered were the ones who reviewed the manuscript: they could still catch their breath and not faint after reading the title of their article in one sitting—not a single one.

Tang Chuan argues in the article: "The Great Rebellion of 779 seems to be accidental, but in fact it has its historical, economic, political, humanistic, and geographical inevitability:

The historical origin of the Far East: During the period when the Bright Empire ruled the whole continent, the Far East was actually a barren land, and the region bordered the powerful Demon Kingdom, but because the inhabitants were fierce and unruly, the Demon Kingdom contemptuously called them "Barbarian Land", and they didn't pay attention to it at all - it was not to ignore it at all, every time the Demon invaded the core elite area inhabited by humans, the Demon Army had to pass through the Far East, and they would burn and plunder it. Therefore, the inhabitants of the Far East - mainly orcs, dragons, snakes, jīng spirits, dwarves and other alien races, as well as a few demons - did not have a favorable impression of the demon kingdom.

In the early days of the Zichuan family, crises lurked. The founder, Zichuan Yun, knew that the only way to remain strong was to expand the territory as much as possible, so he actively and frequently launched foreign territorial wars. However, on the way to the west, they were blocked by the powerful Liufeng family, and the two sides fought fiercely for decades, with hundreds of thousands of casualties - the Zichuan family failed to seize an inch of land!

In Zi Chuanyun's later years, he suddenly woke up, ignored the strong opposition of all the generals and important ministers, turned around, and took the initiative to march to the Far East, which had always been regarded as the sphere of influence of the demon race. In the eyes of others, this is really looking for death: if the demons come to trouble you, you should burn high incense to celebrate, and someone actually takes the initiative to provoke them without knowing whether they are alive or dead!

But as a result, Zichuan Yun's plan went extremely smoothly: the 300,000 Zichuan family army, under the banner of "the demon clan is brutal and bullies all races! unite to resist the demon clan! The Far East is liberated and all races are protected!" All races are thunderous and support this "liberation army" of mankind, and form various volunteer troops and volunteer armies to fight side by side with the Zichuan family army to resist the invasion of the demons! It just so happened that there was a struggle for power within the demon clan that year, and there was no time to mobilize a large army to deal with the small sāo movement in the "Barbarian Yi Region", but it symbolized that Xìng sent a few crusade teams over - as a result, the Zichuan family won precious respite and was able to take root and gain a foothold in the Far East, and after more than two hundred years of the general chiefs of the past dynasties forging ahead and expanding their territory, the Far East territory has accounted for one-third of the entire territory of the family...

Population structure of the Far East: The original inhabitants of the Far East are non-human races: orcs, snakes, dwarves, jīng spirits, dragons, etc., accounting for more than 70 percent of the total number of creatures in the Far East, and less than 30 percent of the human beings -- but less than 30 percent of the human beings are the "nobles" of the social strata of the Far East, and the rest of the races often only serve as human slaves, servants, coolies, and take on the hardest and most tiring work, cultivating, building, and serving for human beings. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) suddenly turned into a repressive army -- of course, the various ethnic groups would not stop there, but after the well-organized, well-armed, and well-trained Zichuan Army "patiently" "enlightened" them with blood and fire several times, they also sincerely "admitted their mistakes," realized their mistakes, and returned to the "warm embrace" of the "loving father" of the Zichuan family.

Political reasons: The death of Ge Yingxing, the commander of the Far East, is undoubtedly one of the important triggers -- not only because Ge Yingxing is the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, but after his death, there is no general in the Far East who can serve the people with strength and prestige, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people -- the main reason is that because of the death of Ge Yingxing, the Zichuan family in the Far East has been in the civil war, and the garrisons of the Zichuan family that were originally stationed in various places have been transferred one after another -- either to join the rebels, or to put down the rebellion -- there is a gap in the ruling forces in various places.

The rebellious orcs, snakes, demons, and the like woke up to find that the rule that had long been pressed on their heads was no thicker than a piece of paper—and they certainly felt that it was better for them to raise their claws and tear their human masters apart than to be whipped from stewards and toiled under the sun.

Of course, the fact that the rebellion was able to spread so quickly cannot but be said that the upper echelons of the family rule did not pay attention to it, and the slow handling of it was an important factor......"

The rebellion, which began in an unnamed village in the province of Sharo in the Far East, expanded to seven villages on the third day, to more than a hundred villages and six towns on the fourth day, and to nearly a thousand villages and hundreds of towns on the sixth day.

In view of this, the provincial governor Lin Wei Hongyi Qiben urgently sent a crusader army to suppress the rebellion, but the result was that the 3,000 human crusaders were defeated in the face of a combined army of various races ten times their size...

A week later, there was a full-scale rebellion in the province of Sala, and the rebels surrounded the provincial capital, Longke, and spread to the surrounding provinces of Minsk, Yarime, and Yun...... Urgent requests for reinforcements came in at the same time......

"Inspector Dilin, can you repeat what you just said?" Zichuan Shenxing couldn't believe his ears a little.

"Yes, in view of the fact that the rebellion in the Far Eastern Province of Sara has become a spreading trend, you need to quickly extinguish it with a thunderous blow!

Several of the commanders who participated in the meeting smiled knowingly: "Here we go again! The Murder King Di Lin, he doesn't seem to have any other idea than "all of them are executed." ”

President Luo Minghai snorted even more, with indescribable sarcasm in it, and sneered: "Di Lin seems to regard the mob as easy to kill as a civilian—but isn't your best skill in killing civilians?"

Commander Fang Jin asked Di Lin: "If you want to execute tens of thousands of mobs all, how many troops do you need to use?"

Di Lin ignored Luo Minghai's provocation and replied to Fang Jin: "It is estimated that 200,000 to 300,000 troops will be used!"

"Where did such a large force come from?" Minghui asked, "Do you want to draw from the zhōngyāng army or the black flag army?" Let me first state that the border guards cannot move, and the wind and frost have been so rampant recently, frequently provoking us, I don't know what this dead woman has in mind. ”

"Her idea is to contain the border guards and not let you take care of the Far East!" Di Lin replied coldly, scolding in his heart: "I can't see this!

Di Lin respectfully said to Zichuan Shenxing: "A week ago, it was a good idea to transfer the border guards or the zhōngyāng army, but now it is too late! The troops will be transferred from here to the Far Eastern Sharo Province, and the rebellion must be extinguished as soon as possible!"

"If you don't draw troops here, where will the troops come from?"

Di Lin replied softly, "Glock Province!"

There was silence for a while, and everyone was speechless in astonishment.

"Do you want us to send all the troops that are crusading against the big traitor Lei Hong back to deal with those townsmen? Do you want them to make a big U-turn in front of the enemy when the two armies are facing off, so that they can kick Lei Hong in the ass?"

Di Lin said in a deep voice: "There is another choice: we can negotiate peace with Lei Hong and promise him the conditions: as long as he is willing to send troops to quell the rebels, we will promise to forgive his sins! ”

Almost everyone was angry at Di Lin's suggestion, and Fang Jin stood up and shouted angrily: "Do you want to let the murderer of Lord Ge Yingxing go away!?"

Di Lin still said calmly: "It's just a promise, and it doesn't have to be fulfilled." ”

"This plan doesn't work. Zichuan Sanxing sighed: "If we pardon the murderer of Brother Yingxing, the people will rise up in a riot before tonight, and the Council of Elders will impeach and depose us early tomorrow morning - it's a pity, a good plan." ”

He turned to Sterling, who had not spoken since the meeting: "What does Commander Sterling think?"

Sterling was a little distracted, and immediately thought for a moment when he heard Zichuan Sanxing's question: "The lower officer agreed to transfer troops from Glock, but not the whole army... After all, the rebellion is composed of a rabble, and the combat effectiveness will not be too strong, and there is no unified and coordinated system command...... It shouldn't be difficult for the lower officials to calm down. ”

The Telin's compromise Tiyì was supported by the majority of the population. Zichuan Sanxing announced: "Okay, this is the end of today's coordination meeting. Next time, there will be more exchanges of views between the General Office and the Office of the Inspectorate, and everyone should not impeach each other at every turn, which will hurt the harmony between colleagues......"

Everyone left the conference hall one after another, leaving Dilling alone standing there - Stirling called him a few times, but he also did not answer with a calm face, and Sterling had to take care of himself.

"Little rebellion?" Di Lin muttered to himself, laughing wildly into the empty conference hall, "Hahaha, little rebellion! This is a storm that can destroy the entire foundation of the family! You are dying, fools!"
