Should I say it or not, the chief officials of these areas in the southern part of Jizhou actually wanted to talk about this matter with the local powerful clans at the beginning and strive for a peaceful solution.

Although many of the current officials of the Third Reich were cultivated by Liu Bei himself, after all, the time is relatively short, and although it has undergone a series of political purges and "cronyism", almost half of the officials in the ruling group of the entire Third Reich are old officials of the Second Reich.

These people can belong to the old official faction in a broad sense, and there is a big difference in thinking mode from the new official faction cultivated by Liu Bei himself.

The person brought out by Liu Bei was naturally branded with Liu Bei who could not be erased, it was a fight against the heavens and the earth, and no one was afraid, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu could spit on him when he came.

But for old-school officials, they are certainly more accustomed to negotiating solutions than fighting.

You can talk about it, but what questions can't be discussed?

Just talk, you can solve the problem.

Don't fight and kill, who is good for everyone?

Don't engage in zero-sum games, let's talk about win-win cooperation.

For example, Cai Yong, who served as the county guard of Bohai, and served as Zhao Guoxiang, were both veteran Confucians, and Liu Hong took up the position of local official shortly after his death, and it has been five years now, and the relationship with the local government is also good.

Liu Bei felt that they were doing okay, so he didn't move them for the time being, and this time he also wanted to test these old scholars to see if they had some skills to do things and whether they could adapt to the struggle situation of the Third Reich.

They learned the news of Dutian Ling earlier, and at the government affairs conference, Liu Bei got to the bottom of them and let them have a preparation, and because of the special status of these counties in the south of Jizhou, Liu Bei also arranged full county soldiers for them earlier.

Even the commanders of the county soldiers who arranged the past are relatively experienced veteran officers in the army, and they can definitely lead thousands of people to fight.

It belongs to the kind that says that the emperor supports you as a backer and fills the row.

Cai Yong and Fu Qian probably also felt that they were full of faces and had confidence, so they felt that they should be able to talk to local forces about solving the problem peacefully.

Pay the tax and pay the tax, it's nothing more than an extra sum of money, and then hello, I'm good, everyone, how to live the life or how to live, it's better than fighting and killing, look at the slavery order of the year, those who resisted died, and those who obeyed survived.

Anyway, the Cai family and the Kifu family have decided to obey the Dutian order under the help of the two of them, anyway, the scale of their family property is not large, and they are not considered to be the first echelon players in the official team.

But the local forces in Jizhou don't see the problem that way.

They felt that they had given Liu Bei a lot of face in the previous incidents, and had given Liu Bei enough benefits, and they themselves had lost a lot of benefits.

For example, during the slave restriction period, in order to meet Liu Bei's needs, they united and handed over a large number of slaves to the imperial court, which was a real loss of a lot of benefits, isn't this benefit nothing?

As a result, now Liu Bei still wants them to cut their meat, and he actually asks them to pay taxes?

I have to pay taxes before I get rich, and I have to pay more taxes after I get rich, so I'm not getting rich in vain?

When Cai Yong went to negotiate, the negotiator settled an account with Cai Yong.

With the total amount of land in his family exceeding 100,000 mu, as well as the current average harvest, plus the current expenditures for various types of agricultural production, storage costs, transportation costs, etc., if the tax rate stipulated by Liu Bei is followed, his family will not be able to make money from farming.

Gotta lose money!

You have to lose money in farming!

I put so much effort into farming, and in order to grow food, I had to lose money!

Is there such a truth in the world?

Cai Yong shook his head again and again, persuading them to calculate the account carefully.

Don't think about keeping so much land, why do you want so much land? Isn't it good to sell a part of the land to the government at the market price, so that you can make money from selling the land, and the rest of the land can still be guaranteed to make a profit?

If the land scale is smaller, the income will be higher than before, and the taxes to be paid will be less than before!

Although you earn less than before, you are already rich, what else is there to worry about?

So the negotiator of the other side asked Cai Yong to leave with a black face.

Lao Tzu has never paid taxes, who pays taxes these days? Do you still have the face to say that I pay less than before?

The negotiations reached an impasse, Cai Yong and Fu Qian used their old faces of Confucianism and celebrities at home and abroad to negotiate, and the response was actually - the Son of Heaven has changed the law, and Confucianism can no longer be respected, so your old face is worthless!

Who can stand this?

Cai Yong had a good temper, so he just brushed his sleeves and reported the matter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to understand a little about the matter here and see what to do next.

Fu Qian tore his face with a "ten-year old friend" on the spot and broke off his friendship.

Despite this, Cai Yong and Fu Qian still didn't want to take the lead, and although the news showed that many families in their jurisdiction had begun to move, they still didn't think that these wealthy families really dared to oppose Liu Bei's invincible army.

So they didn't do it in advance.

When the Hao clan mobilized their manpower and material resources to officially raise the anti-flag, form a coalition to conquer the city and conquer the city, and forcefully resist the system of Tian Ling, Cai Yong and Fu Qian were shocked to realize that there were still people in the world who were not afraid of Liu Bei.

But it was too late, they could only take the county soldiers to defend the city to keep their respective county offices from being lost, and then immediately asked Xu Huang, the head of the Central Plains Military Region, for help.

Xu Huang's side is actually not very rich, because during this time, there were rebellions in various places, and there were also places in Qingzhou and Xuzhou that were quite fierce, and the number of county soldiers in these two states was small, and it was even more difficult to solve the rebels on their own, so Xu Huang could only send troops.

Xu Huang then arranged for Cao Ren to lead the 22nd Army of the Yingyang Army and the Recruit Army to Qingzhou and Xuzhou to start a counterinsurgency war.

Fortunately, the elite of the Tiger Ben Army in Xu Huang's headquarters was not transferred, this was the reserve of the Central Plains Military Region, and Xu Huang thought that the general rebellion would be enough to hand over to the three recruit armies, and they would be able to keep the place in place, enough not to cause chaos.

Unless there are really some particularly powerful "big thieves" who can threaten the stability of the place, Xu Huang will dispatch the elite of the Tiger Army.

Xu Huang has always believed that although the Tiger Army is no longer the only elite synonym in the past history, as a symbol of former glory, the Tiger Army must have a little bit of its own platoon.

Ordinary thieves don't make a move, even if it is a rabble, it must be a large-scale rebel army of more than 30,000 people, which is worthy of an elite attack like the Tiger Ben Army.

Then he found out that it was time for the Tiger Army to be dispatched.

In Jizhou, Ganlingguo, Zhaoguo, Anpingguo, Wei County and other areas, tens of thousands of rebels rebels rebelled, the scale of the rebellion was very large, the rebels were huge, and they conquered the city, and several county towns had already been lost.

Xu Huang was furious, the loss of the county seat not only meant that the local officials failed to defend the territory, but also had a certain degree of joint and several responsibility for him, the person in charge of the Central Plains Military Region.

How could he tolerate this?

So Xu Huang left the deputy general to sit in the base camp instead of him, and personally raised 10,000 troops to go north to Jizhou, preparing to let these rebels feel the power of the Han army's 10,000 soldiers.

According to the rules of wartime, when the war was launched, Xu Huang automatically obtained the power to command all the military armed forces in the Central Plains Theater, and all the official armed forces, including the county soldiers, were under Xu Huang's command, and his power during this period was very huge.

Because of this, his responsibility is also very heavy, the kind that if he is not careful, he will lose all the games.

While leading the troops north, Xu Huang learned that the scale of the Jizhou rebellion this time was indeed very large, and even in a sense, it could be regarded as a large-scale and organized rebellion.

The largest rebel in the Ganling State, the number of rebels is chasing 40,000, even the smallest Anping State, the number of rebel soldiers and horses has exceeded 10,000, and the participants are still increasing, the more powerful the momentum, the more people want to join.

Although at this time, this order was only aimed at officials, but the landlords and powerful were encouraged by the officials who were unwilling to accept the reality, and they thought that their future would be worse than those of these officials, so there was nothing to say.

If you don't participate in the struggle now, do you have to wait for the emperor Lao'er's butcher's knife to hit his head before preparing to fight?

The experience of the slave restriction order tells everyone that the emperor's greed is endless, and blindly retreating will only make the emperor gain an inch.

So, fight!

We must take advantage of the fact that some officials can't stand it now and want to launch a protest to fight hard, and gather everyone's strength to have the greatest possibility of forcing the emperor to compromise.

The matter of Dutian in this dynasty is also passed on by word of mouth, mentioning that Emperor Guangwu launched Dutian and everyone resisted together, everyone remembers how thrilling it was.

When Liu Xiu wanted to spend his time in the field, how many people rebelled, how many people launched a strong struggle, and how many people died because of this, and finally forced the imperial court to compromise with everyone to a certain extent, in exchange for a happy life for more than 100 years.

And now, the emperor Lao'er has started again, and he is going to spend his land again.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and he did it again!

Not only is the land mainly cultivated by the powerful, but even the officials of his mother have to pay the land, and what kind of government and people pay taxes together, isn't this kind of thing going to make people angry?

Although there seems to be no movement on the side of the imperial court, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries are still rushing to send taxes to the imperial court one by one, but such a "lofty ambition", they are not local officials.

What is ours is ours, there is no such thing as collecting taxes!

With such a resolute will, the local officials first set off a wave of boycott, and the person with the highest participation in this boycott was the other driver of Jizhou Thorn Shi Qiaomao, Tian Yong, a native of Jizhou, who was a distant relative of Tian Feng, a famous strategist around Yuan Shao.

Because he has always had a high reputation, he was invited by Qiao Mao to drive for Jizhou, and he has been very conscientious over the years, but this time the imperial court's Dutian Order obviously touched his bottom line, so that Qiao Mao wanted to persuade him, but he was fooled.

That is, when the rebellion was launched, the lieutenant of Wei County was informed by the intelligence in advance, so he hurriedly mobilized the county soldiers of Wei County to surround Yecheng, successfully curbed the rebels' surprise attack on Yecheng, and kept Yecheng, otherwise the impact of this wave on Jizhou would not be small.

Having said that, Yecheng was preserved, and the governing offices of the counties were also preserved under the hard work of the county soldiers, but many county towns were lost.

Under the leadership of some officials, such as Tian Yong, the rebels maintained the bottom line, such as killing only tax collectors, not local officials who were unwilling to cooperate with them, so as to demonstrate to the imperial court, and by the way, they also wanted to reserve the possibility of final negotiations.

But the team they controlled was definitely better than nothing in terms of military discipline, so the places they captured were basically all about the disaster.

When Xu Huang arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, five or six county towns in the southern part of Jizhou had already been breached, and some surrounding agricultural villages and other things had also been almost destroyed, but the collective farms set up in various places performed more brilliantly.

The collective farms in the interior were different from those set up by Liu Bei in remote prefectures and counties, and Liu Bei's earliest collective farms in Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou were also arranged for military instructors to conduct relatively strict military training for the strong men in the farms because of the military threat.

During the slack period, the strong men and even the strong women had to take time out to participate in military training, practice the use of weapons and the arrangement of military formations.

However, in the inland prefectures and counties, because of the relative peace and heavier agricultural production tasks, the training time and training content are relatively small, and young women do not participate in military training, so it is obvious that the martial virtues of the residents of the inland are not as good as those of the residents of the remote prefectures and counties.

However, despite this, for organizational reasons, when the rebels were attacking everywhere and the number of officers and soldiers in the county was insufficient to contain them, the collective farms urgently organized themselves and launched self-defense operations.

The main force of the rebels must be besieging places such as county magistrates and county seats, and only a few scattered marginal figures led by the troops have the leisure to attack the places where the poor ghosts they see live.

After all, the richest people must live in the city, and if you ask for money, it must be the most cost-effective to siege the city, and the poor ghost has no oil and water, and those who have a pursuit will not attack and kill the poor ghost, but those who don't pursue it are not necessarily.

Robbing the city will definitely not be able to rob the powerful people, so you can only find another way to scourge the poor ghosts, and you can make some money, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, right?

As a result, the homesteaders of the counties were devastated, lacking in defense and organization, and when the hordes of rebels arrived, few of them were able to defend successfully, and suffered heavy losses.

But the collective farms were different, and when they heard the news of the turmoil, the strong men of the farms quickly organized, and one farm could often organize two or three hundred strong men with a certain amount of military training, and even some large farms could organize a team of five or six hundred men to carry out defense.

Collective farms generally had small arsenals managed by representatives of the imperial court, and there were some weapons and equipment that had been eliminated by the army, such as the first and second generations of weapons and equipment of the Han army.

Although the number is not large, and it is not as sophisticated as the main equipment and weapons currently used by the Han army, it is enough to engage the rebels.

Some ring-headed knives, some spears, some crossbows, and shields, and a few light armors.

The number of rebels scattered out to cause calamity to the people was not large, and because of the general force discrimination against the old peasants, generally speaking, the number of people acting together was not large, thirty or fifty people was considered a relatively large group, and more were small groups of twenty or thirty people or even a dozen people, with a few steel knives, they felt that they were invincible in the world and could run rampant in the countryside.

It turns out that the ordinary countryside really can't do anything with them, but the collective farms are different.

With a little rectification, the collective farm will be able to pull out a combat team, hand-to-hand, defensive, and with bows and crossbows, to occupy the main communication routes around the farm and set up defenses, not to mention the invading enemy, and to attack them with ferocity.

These scattered teams often think they're going to get something good.

Because they had also heard that the collective farms were generally wealthier, and had a lot of grain reserves, and that the people in them were relatively wealthy, and that they were living better than they had been.

Therefore, after meeting some poor ghosts who were poorer than them, they were very eager to get enough money and food from the collective farms to support their families.

After all, the way the old men in the family encouraged them to rebel was to give money and food, and the things they grabbed belonged to them.
