Chapter 36: The Great Uprising
The right to speak is unified, with Zhuang Xun's sitting, the eastern army is unprecedentedly unified, after all, this is his army, and it is really easy to pretend to be a ghost.
With the brilliance of the divine power of the monarch, he has never been defeated, slaying the demon king, breaking the pass, being allowed by Zen, and pretending to be a god and a ghost has indeed established his prestige.
Then there is the binding of interests, and the interests of every soldier are bound, so that they can willingly devote themselves to the battle for Zhuang Xun.
The composition of the soldiers, mostly civilians, was allocated to the fields, and the recruits were also given land under the new law that was about to be implemented, so loyalty was guaranteed.
At the pledge meeting, Zhuang Xun did not shy away from telling these soldiers that you went to fight to defend the land you got and were about to get.
If he does not attack these people, these people will come and attack him, and in the end the soldiers' land will be taken away, and they will be reduced to tenant farmers, and the stable environment will be replaced by war.
Zhuang Xun knows that his own catty is two, the team's catty is two, intimidation and interests coexist, and he does not seek to achieve the belief of the modern army, as long as he mobilizes the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
Follow him to inquire about land, follow him to divide the land, and the family will not give land.
Naturally, the soldiers knew where to be treated, and they treated people as human beings, and after the oath meeting, they swore one by one to establish meritorious deeds and defend their own interests.
In particular, most of the newly reorganized Donghua troops have just been assigned to the fields of military dependents, which makes a person excited when he hears the war and can't wait to fight to Chengguo immediately.
Sending land before the war can best boost morale, the soldiers are strong, and the generals can also let go of their hands and feet, and divide their troops into the army according to Zhuang Xun's orders
Although they are all plans proposed by Li Ruxi, the order to attack from Zhuang Xun's mouth is completely different from the order to attack from Li Ruxi's mouth, and Zhuang Xun's order is more authoritative.
Many generals have received great favors from Zhuang Xun, especially the former generals of Youguo, and Li Ruxi can only be said to be strangers, but they are afraid of Zhuang Xun who holds a sword.
Zhuang Xun will be sincerely afraid in front of them with a sword, such as Li Zhurong and Feng Qingshan, who have never seen Li Ruxi's ability, but have seen Zhuang Xun behead the Youwang they feared, and have seen Cheng Dieguan collapse in front of them.
Zhuang Xun also has divinity because of this, they ask themselves if they can't stop Zhuang Xun's sword, Zhuang Xun can kill the King of You, and it is not a matter of a sword to kill them, so they don't dare to speak loudly in front of Zhuang Xun, only promise, even if Zhuang Xun feels that he is very friendly.
In the same way, they did their best to arrange the order of Zhuang Xun, even if they knew that the order was actually made by Li Ruxi, but Zhuang Xun had no problem reviewing it, that is, Zhuang Xun's edict, it was a holy decree.
Suspecting that Li Ru is fine, against the monarch's order, or an obvious mythical monarch, these people have no courage.
In this case, unless Li Ruxi proves that she really belongs to Zhuang Xun's camp in the subsequent war against Li Pingyuan, this suspicion will always exist.
But don't think about it now, Zhuang Xun is the Son of Heaven and the emperor, just listen to him.
So the soldiers are divided into three roads, showing a trapping posture, each road has an absolute advantage over the defenders, and can turn cities into islands, and these cities are the turtles in the urn.
Zhuang Xun also said, fight patiently, fight with a sense of hand, and the follow-up battle with Li Pingyuan is the most important, and these generals are not required to fight a quick battle now, but to win the battle, and accumulate small victories for big victories.
Gradually encroach, slowly swallow a few Henan provinces, and do it when Li Pingyuan cleaned up the king of Qinghe.
After all, for Zhuang Xun, he can only follow the steps step by step, because not only the battlefield on his side, but also on the Zhao side, he can't catch up with the big drama of Zhao State in a hurry.
His way of slowly advancing has caused dissatisfaction and resentment from others, of course, not the obedient sheep generals under his subordinates, but the families and people of Henan Province.
The mobilized troops, and even the ultimatums issued, were reminding the families defending the city that Zhuang Xun was about to be overwhelmed by a large army.
Conquest is not a minister, Henan and other provinces are the land of Yu State, Zhuang Xun inherits the legal system of Yu State, and is the new king of this land.
These people's letters for help flew to Jidu like snowflakes, but Jidu ignored them, and they were the ones who made the king of Henan surrender into a country.
Because Zhuang Xun was unfriendly to the Great Family, and even dismantled it, it was like cleaning up the parasites, so that these parasites were eager to find new hosts and fight against the old ones.
Becoming a country is their choice, but Li Pingyuan is not ready to be a person, they are all asked to insist, and when the rebellion of King Qinghe is quelled, Li Pingyuan will go south again.
This is a good excuse, King Qinghe raised the anti-flag, and these families also understood that the place was more urgent, and Chengguo did not have the intention to let them die.
But it is clear that Zhuang Xun is about to fight, and if he loses the land, he will be confiscated, and even if the surrendered family will be dismembered, and the land held by a family will be taxed progressively.
Where can these families stand it, confiscate their privileges, confiscate their power to be officials, fairness is an inequality for them, and they are afraid of being killed by King Yu's father and son, and they dare not surrender, and now they can only prepare to resist stubbornly, knowing that they will lose, they still have to resist.
So they all thought of a way, the wall cleared, repaired the city wall, prepared to defend to the death, the flames burned the people's houses, the people were driven to build a strong wall fortress, what should have been the world of spring ploughing production, the people watched the land that should have been cultivated abandoned.
This means that even if the war is won, by the middle of the year, the families will not give food to the people, and the famine that can be encountered will sweep through the north of Yudi.
On the one hand, the south divides the land and protects farming, and the most important thing besides the war is farming, and on the other hand, the walls are cleared and the people are driven away as cattle.
Closed information, demonized information is abundant, but Zhuang Xun took over the inspection guard, and now intelligence officers are mixed in various cities, spreading the new law in the south.
This rumor spread like a virus, but the family didn't care, these were piglets, and they knew how to run with a whip, and they never cared.
It's still full of guests, it's still extravagant dinners, and they may be afraid that they won't be able to eat it in the future, and now they are getting more and more crazy.
In order to resist Zhuang Xun, he desperately squeezed the people and raised supplies, while indulging in pleasure, eating things that he was usually reluctant to eat, and doing things that he couldn't usually do.
On the one hand, Zhuang Xun was regarded as a demon and was afraid that he would come to the door, and on the other hand, he hoped that Zhuang Xun was like a drought and rain, and he hoped that Xia Jun would immediately go to the city and village where they were.
They all hate the advancement of Zhuang Xun, one side is too slow, the other side is too fast, they are complaining, and resentment accumulates in various cities and fortresses.
In some places, there are still smart people, and the word Xia Guo is banned, but the more it is banned, the more these two words are memorized and used.
Everyone knows that the Xia Kingdom divides the land among people, everyone knows that Zhuang Xun, the monarch of the Xia Kingdom, is a good person who is sympathetic to the people, and everyone knows that the family is afraid that their land will be shared with the people.
This contradiction has been accumulating, perhaps because the family is doing nonsense, or maybe the people who entered the city are hungry and can't stand it, or there are people who are willing to pounce on them, and the people have revolted.
At first it was a city, at the rear, near the edge of the river, and the people knew that Zhuang Xun would come the latest, and that Cheng would be the fastest to support, and it was possible that they would never be able to wait for Zhuang Xun to come to Zhuang Xun, and to wait for someone who could give them land.
The man who wanted to organize people to go home and sow seedlings was beaten, and then, and then it was gone, the physical meaning was gone, and he was killed.
You dare to plough the old man's land, and you think it's yours to rent it? Can be put on what you can.
The lord said that he was not allowed to plant, accept the loss, what do you care, this year's food is gone, you are just losing one family's rations, and the lord is losing the rations of thousands of families.
Now that we are all in the same boat, don't you know patience?
Such words were whipped on the people, and that night, the manly brother who was beaten to death led people to rebel, and the determination to die led more and more people.
The people of the official family are strong, but they are few and there are many people, and there are many people who farm the land.
But now the environment is different, they are not fighting against the invaders who kill people without blinking, they are not against the bandits who rob houses, but they are fighting against the Zhuang Xun who divide land among the people and rectify the corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Zhuang Xun felt that the low level also had an unparalleled impact on the people of the new feudal law, and these docile people just wanted to have a piece of land to plant and raise children.
Now there is no place to live, no food to eat, and you are not even allowed to think about who is driven crazy by the high cost of living in the city.
The pent-up anger erupted, and the rioting populace rose up and stormed the yamen, the barracks, and the home of the largest local family and landowner.
Kill, kill, kill......
The high-ranking lord has no arrogance, and these people do not have the tolerance of Zhuang Xun's hometown towards the landlord, it is a violence, a revenge, and the previous injustices are repaid at this moment.
Zhuang Xun has not yet arrived, the blood has stained this nameless small city, the food in the family's warehouse can not be eaten, Yu Guo, which has been in good weather for several years, has a bumper harvest every year, although it is not as productive as Zhao Guo, but there are still many hoarded grains, and many rats can be seen in the granary.
But, but, yesterday the people still drank gruel, gruel where chopsticks can float on the water, it is estimated that these people who died under the hands of the people can't figure out how the docile lamb in the past will not only bite people one day, but also eat people.
The spark of the prairie burned Henan Province, like a virus, and when I heard that the neighboring city had successfully rebelled, I cut off the heads of the county order and the family, and the neighboring counties also had thoughts.
The trees fell and everyone pushed them, and one city after another was set on fire, but the troops needed to suppress it were in the county town, and they had to defend Zhuang Xun.
Instead of quenching the burning sparks, the spreading flames finally devoured everyone, seized the weapons of the defenders and began to attack the county town.
Blossoming in many places, riots, uprisings in many places, Henan Province has become a sieve, and it can no longer hold their bad water.
At this time, the family and the bureaucrats knew that they were afraid, and took the initiative to care about the lives of the people in the fortress in the city, changed into good food, and did not act as a person, but it was too late.
It was too late, and the anger of the people had already reached the edge of the cliff, and how could they be tied by the ropes of their hair.
Their past sins have eroded the trust of the people in them, and these former governors of the people not only want to protect their own interests, but also want to use their powerful hands to maintain the trust of the people.
They think beautifully, trust this kind of thing, and once they lose it and want to get it back, it's a vast engineering job.
They either don't know, or they think that the people are stupid and easy to bully, anyway, they only dare to go home and close the window to scold the people before, and they don't even dare to scold in front of other people.
Such cowardice, they beat people or deter, the government and the army are all their people, what do these civilians fight with them, they are now willing to leak a little bit of the interests between their fingers is the greatest mercy, thinking that these people should be grateful to Dade.
To make an analogy, the people say that they can't live without land, and these people's words are that good seeds are cheaper, buffaloes can be rented at a low price, and land rent can be reduced a little in a famine year, but they are unwilling to sell land at a low price, giving the people a way to live and work in peace and contentment.
It is not allowed to open up the wasteland, it is the country's forest land, that is, to cover that bit of cultivated land and not let go, it is difficult for a person to afford an acre of thin land with a lifetime of hard work.
Is Tian valuable? As long as there is soil, where is not the field, but the value of an acre of land is more than the rent of seventy years in most places, and the great family monopolized the land, with the purpose of squeezing out the labor wealth of an ordinary person for a lifetime.
For the sake of the fields and the family, the people have been treating them as cattle and horses for generations, just so that they can have their own land.
But can they save the money to buy land? If they can't save it, they will have children, see a doctor and take medicine, and they won't be able to save even if they don't dare to wear more clothes.
All kinds of taxes and conscription are afraid that you will eat too much, and you can think too much about the surplus food, and hollow out your copper plate, the so-called art of exhausting the people.
The co-authors of the people can only let them exploit it, the legal and non-legal frameworks protect the family, ordinary people can only shut up and reflect when they are beaten, people were beaten in the past, but now the situation is different, they have people who listen.
However, in some closed cities, it was strange for the common people to eat good food, until the rebel army pressed the border, and then they realized that there was a rebellion, and there was no reason to join the queue of rebellion.
Zhuang Xun had just gnawed down the two county towns, and he had already read the news of the uprisings and rebellions in various places, and he didn't care about it at first, the uprising, this situation was normal, and he didn't think that the family was a person.
These bureaucrats treat the people like dogs, and when they get used to it, what is the problem of making an official force the people to rebel, and then he really can't understand the number and scale of more and more.
"The officials forced the people to rebel, how much resentment they have accumulated."
