Guanghan County Shou Ma Zhong is a student of Liu Bei's second Liangzhou State School, from a slightly cold background, the previous two county commanders, and now he has not been in the position of Guanghan County Shou for a year.

After learning of this, Ma Zhong frowned tightly and realized something, so he sent a message to Tang Li, the commander of the county soldiers in the county, and sent someone to Liu Sheng, the person in charge of the Xishu Military Region, asking him to pay more attention.

Liu Sheng has been closely following the reactions of various places since the promulgation of the decree on the beating of Dutian, and for more than a month, Guanghan County was the first to send him a message, letting him know that some people could no longer sit still and tried to set off a rebellion in the local area.

And the action has already begun.

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, forcibly held back the excitement in his heart, and convened a meeting of the military region to inform the officers under his command of the situation, so that they could be somewhat prepared.

Since you entered Xishu, you have been shouting that there is no fight, yelling that training every day is boring, so now that the battle is coming, you have to fight for me, if the battle is not good, the fight is not beautiful, even if you win, you will wait for me!

In mid-May of the first year of Zhenguan, the Xishu Front entered a state of combat readiness.

At the same time, the newly established county military system of each county also entered a state of combat readiness.

Although most of the county and national military organizations are not yet full, and some even have only about 1,000 people, these people who are veterans will not be afraid to fight, they will only be excited because of the appearance of war and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they are also gearing up, sharpening their knives, and ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

While the guys who didn't want to pay taxes were still recruiting and coaxing people everywhere, the Han army and the local county soldiers were ready, just waiting for them to fall into the net.

Xie Chong's actions were still somewhat effective.

It is not easy for the people in the collective farms to deceive, because their channels for obtaining information are relatively stable and efficient, and to a certain extent, the information gap between them and the landlords and the old wealthy, so that the landlords and old moneymen cannot use the information gap to deceive them.

The individual peasants in other villages are easier to deceive, they still lack information channels as in the past, and because they have less contact with the government, they have little trust in the government, and most of them still look at the current government with the human-like eyes of the past.

Therefore, as long as the Xie family gives money and food, fools a little more, or even half-persuasion and half-coercion, it doesn't take much effort, and a group of unknown farmers will follow them because of the terrifying memories of taxation and some small favors.

The county government wanted to send someone to intervene, but it really didn't have time.

Three under five divided by two, the Xie family gathered more than 300 people, and more than 20 other powerful landlord families also gathered dozens of hundreds of people, a group of people got together, gathered a team of more than 4,000 people, and officially announced on the third day of June in the first year of Zhenguan that they would resist the Dutian order and attack the county seat.

However, when they launched an operation to rush to the county seat, the Han army was actually ready.

While they were moving, the Han army was also preparing, and they also sent people to track and understand their movements.

When the rebels gathered together to announce their march to the county seat and threaten the imperial court to stop Dutian, a battalion of Han troops and more than 1,200 soldiers from Guanghan County appeared.

The number of the Han army is more than that of the rebels, the equipment is better than that of the rebels, and the combat quality is higher than that of the rebels.

Xie Chong, as the commander, thought that he could successfully sneak attack when he fought, and felt that he had the strength to fight, and he could break through the county town to occupy an advantage, and gather more men and horses to fight against the Han army, but when he saw that his army was so useless, he was actually surrounded by the Han army, and he suddenly felt cold, and he didn't want to command, so he fled quickly.

He frantically attacked with his own soldiers who were quite combative, trying to escape with a bloody way but he didn't rush out, and was pushed back by a wave of counter-push by the Han army, and finally the front army collapsed and the whole army was annihilated.

Xie Chong himself and the members of the major families who participated in this battle were captured one after another, and a few were killed on the battlefield.

The battle took less than half an hour to end, the rebels surrendered too much, many peasants did not know why, did not think that they had the need to fight desperately, as soon as they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately dropped their sticks and bamboo guns and surrendered, and did not contribute at all, and the Han army did not take much effort to achieve victory.

The frontal battlefield was over, and the Han army wiped out the organizers of these rebels, and bulldozed more than 20 large and small families involved in this matter, and the families that had some relationship with them were also monitored by the Han army, and as long as they found any problems, they would be dealt with immediately.

The rest of the culprit, Xie Chong and others, were escorted to the county government to be beheaded and displayed to the public, and the head of the county was passed on as a deterrent.

At the same time, in this battle, the Han army also found that these rebels had iron weapons, and some even had armor, and these absolute contraband appeared here, which can only mean that the major families in the county still have private possession of these contraband.

Although the rebellion is now resolved, the hidden risks are still there, so they demand a new round of searches, strictly put an end to the private collection of contraband such as armor in the people, and if found, they will be punished for rebellion.

However, the loss of core interests is obviously not something that can be deterred by one or two battles, and as soon as the battle in Guanghan County ended, three more local rebellions broke out in Ba County.

These three rebellions took place in Linjiang County, Dianjiang County and Anhan County respectively, and there were officials in each of the three places who gathered local powerful landlord forces because of dissatisfaction, and united to organize people to rebel against the imperial court's Dutian order, not necessarily to rebel, and the core demand was often the imperial court to abandon Dutian.

But in the eyes of the imperial court, in Liu Bei's view, isn't this a rebellion?

He didn't negotiate!

After the three rebellions broke out, Liu Sheng also quickly got the news and learned that the three rebellions were of different scales, Anhan County was the smallest, with a scale of only more than 2,000 people, and Linjiang County was the largest, with tens of thousands of rebels.

The reasons for this situation are different, but the biggest reason must be the incomplete implementation of the slave restriction order, which Liu Sheng and Liu Bei can think of.

The last round of slave restriction orders can be said to have cut the slave population of the Han Empire in half, but in the end, the slave population of the Han Empire is still several million, and the Gaomen clan must account for a lot, but to say that the local officials and Haoqiang who are not high-ranking households are clean, it is not necessarily true.

There must be water everywhere, and a considerable part of the slave population has been preserved in various ways, explicitly or covertly, to continue to serve them, but all families with some official connections have done so.

Therefore, some counties and counties were relatively clean, so the resistance this time was much smaller, such as Guanghan County, where there was only one rebellion as a whole and was easily quelled.

However, Ba County is not, the implementation is not clean enough, and there must be a lot of water in the implementation, so this wave has exploded into real power for them.

The rebellion of tens of thousands of people in Linjiang County was very large-scale and huge, and the leader of the rebel army was Xu Huai, the former county magistrate of Linjiang County, who gathered many county officials in Linjiang County, as well as some local powerful families who were panicked about the Dutian Order, and everyone rose up together to resist the Dutian Order.

Linjiang County Ling Ma Qiang is also a second-phase student from Liangzhou State School, who has been in office for two and a half years, and has made many achievements in local construction, but Linjiang County has a huge local power, and he can give orders thanks to the support of the Linjiang Gan family on weekdays.

This time the rebels were in turmoil, and it was Gan who first sent an early warning to Ma Qiang, and then Gan organized more than 2,000 troops to rush to the county before the rebels, and Ma Qiang got the support of Gan's and fortunately kept the county and confronted the rebels.

After that, the rebels attacked the city for six consecutive days, and Ma Qiang put on his armor and personally went to the city to command the soldiers to resist.

After learning the news of the huge rebel forces in Linjiang County, Liu Sheng sent his adjutant general Zhang Ren to lead two battalions of troops to aid Linjiang County.

After Zhang Ren was a general by Liu Bei's side for a period of time, he was soon sent to the army by Liu Bei for training, and he made a lot of contributions over the years, and his position was constantly improved, and he was finally promoted to Liu Sheng's deputy after Liu Bei ascended the throne.

Liu Sheng is still sitting in the base camp of the Han army, so he asked Zhang Ren to go out instead of him, and Zhang Ren is not a simple person, after receiving the task, he was not in a hurry, and went all the way east along the waterway, and before attacking the rebels in Linjiang County, he easily destroyed the rebels in Dianjiang County along the waterway.

The strength of the rebels in Dianjiang County is also not good, and the thousands of rabble seem to be huge, but in fact, even the 1,000 Bajun soldiers who rushed to the aid in advance can't help it, and the 1,000 county soldiers dragged them back, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

When Zhang Ren arrived near Dianjiang County with the elite of the Han army, a battalion wiped them out with a single impact, and Zhang Ren carried out a liquidation here by the way, and after a day and a half of effort, the rebel forces in Dianjiang County were uprooted.

A vote of people was cut off by Zhang Ren by the river, and then pushed the corpse into the water to feed the fish, and the deterrence and tough posture were done very well, and the large and small families in the county were asked to watch, and one by one they sweated like rain, obviously shocked.

After solving the rebels in Dianjiang County, this county army went north to Anhan County, Zhang Ren continued to lead the troops east along the waterway, and it took more than ten days to arrive in Linjiang County, and along the way they easily destroyed some bandits who did not take advantage of the situation to make trouble.

During the time when Zhang Ren was on the road, the rebels in Linjiang County were stunned that they did not take a step forward and failed to pose a substantial threat to Linjiang County, and in the face of less than 3,000 defenders, more than 10,000 of them were stunned and failed to make any achievements.

In fact, this is not normal, because the defenders of Linjiang County are not elite, and they are actually similar in nature to the rebels, the rebels are a rabble, and the defenders of Linjiang County have not been able to get any better, mainly because the rebels are too divided internally.

Some people feel that they should take the county seat, some people think that they should take advantage of the situation to expand their sphere of influence and go to more county towns to fight the autumn breeze and obtain more benefits, some people feel that they should attack the county seat to give the imperial court a greater shock, and some people feel that they should make peace with the imperial court as soon as possible.

Anyway, a group of people couldn't agree on it, and in the end, they couldn't use all their strength to attack the county seat, so that the defenders didn't do their best at all, and they dragged them for more than half a month.

Dragged their own prime time away.

So when Zhang Ren arrived in Linjiang County with two battalions of Han troops in mid-to-late June, this group of rebels was finally dumbfounded.

The Han army was smaller in number than them, but Zhang Ren, who was very confident, directly used the tactic of making dumplings.

And the Han army did not live up to Zhang Ren's self-confidence, and successfully implemented the tactics of making dumplings, blocking all the retreats of the rebels in all directions, and prick a pocket at the battle site of the rebels besieging the city.

Then there is a simple and brutal frontal attack.

The Han army formed a common standard military formation, launched a frontal attack on the rebels, slashed with the head of the knife, spears pierced, the rebels were beaten without the power to fight back, and soon collapsed completely, desperately fleeing to the central position surrounded by the Han army, and then the whole army was annihilated, and was eaten by the Han army.

After the war, Zhang Ren counted the results of the battle and found that the number of prisoners exceeded 10,000, and the number of rebels killed on the battlefield was actually more than 1,000.

More than 30 large and small families that jointly initiated the turmoil were wiped out by the Han army, completely eradicated, and everything was confiscated, and the rebellion in Linjiang County ended.

While Zhang Ren easily eliminated the rebels in Linjiang County, the rebels in Anhan County were also eliminated by Yan Lu, the commander of the national soldiers of Ba County, and led 1,300 county soldiers.

As a result, the resistance within Ba County about the Dutian Order almost ended there, and did not make any further waves.

The same rebellion was also in Shu County, and there were also in Qianwei County.

However, the scale of Qianwei County is very small, and the location of the Han army garrison is here, so it was solved by the Han army in only eight days.

The scale of the rebellion in Shu County was not small, and several counties launched a rebellion at the same time as if they were premeditated, and they raised the banner to go to Luoyang to talk to the Son of Heaven about Dutian Ling.

Because his behavior was too arrogant and he completely disrespected Liu Bei, Liu Sheng was greatly annoyed.

He couldn't allow anyone to disrespect Liu Bei, so he personally led the most elite Shence army to Shu County to quell the rebellion.

Because he was too annoyed that Liu Sheng was more fierce when he quelled the rebellion in Shu County, he didn't show much mercy, and the "talk action" jointly launched by 16 officials from Shu County Government, Chengdu County Government, Jiangyuan County Government and other government was pressed down by him half a month before and after.

Kill people's heads.

Then because it was wartime, Liu Sheng had all the power to control it, so he pursued and fought fiercely against the rebellion in Shu County, not only launched the Three Clans Elimination Action against the rebellious officials, but also launched an accountability and investigation against the dereliction of duty and incompetent officials, and participated in one-third of the officials in Shu County in one go.

The results speak for themselves.

Shu County experienced an officialdom earthquake, and the last bit of old forces that survived after many political purges were also physically wiped out by Liu Sheng.

The operation of Dutian was smoothly promoted, and the living officials and powerful landlords did not dare to take a breath for Liu Sheng's atmosphere, and he sent people to Dutian, but no one dared to stop him, and they all cooperated honestly.

Then how much land each family has, how many slaves who conceal it, how many clansmen and so on, are all found out by Liu Sheng, in mid-to-late July, Liu Sheng reported the relevant news to Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei to make a decision on a series of events.

How to reward, how to punish, you decide, but I will make some suggestions, I hope that your old man will not have any kind thoughts about them, these guys are afraid of power and not virtuous, and the more ruthless they clean up, the more well-behaved they are.

Liu Bei's side was busy, after the Dutian order was issued in early May, a rebellion began to appear in June, and the rebellion in the north of Yizhou was not large-scale, and the largest rebellion was concentrated in the south of Jizhou.

In the areas of Ganling, Zhao, Anping, and Weijun, because the slave restriction order was not completely promoted in these areas, the resistance force in this area was the highest in the country.

What's more, the rebellions in these places seem to have some traces of the local Han clans.

probably also knew that Liu Bei was unwilling to give up this time, so the remnants of the old forces in these places did not continue to have a relationship with Liu Bei, and they stopped pretending and had a showdown.

Thousands of slaves from their own homes formed a rebel army, distributed weapons that had been hidden for a long time, and prepared to talk to Liu Bei about this matter of land and tax payment.

If you want to save our fields, let us pay taxes like those mud legs, yes.

However, you old man must first ask us if the steel knife in our hand will be yes!
