Chapter 283: Counterinsurgency Xiang Yu
Chen Shi Wu Guang rebelled, because Qi Di did not respond much, so they went to Zhao Di. And it soon spread in Zhaodi.
At the same time, the nobles of the six countries also rose up one after another, wanting to take the opportunity to rebel and divide up the big cadres. Dozens of nobles rose up in various places, and in just one month, the world was full of smoke.
Wang Ke began to face such a grim situation one month after ascending the throne, which made many nobles and nobles in the Daqian court couldn't help but worry.
After all, the crown prince has just ascended the throne, and if he can't deal with it, then the matter will be big, of course, there are some conspirators among them, and for a while, the court is also disturbed, and there are different opinions. Every day is a lot of quarrels, you say you want to calm the chaos, he says to appease, attack each other.
Although Wang Ke has only been the emperor for a month, he has begun to assist the government a few years ago, and later Wang Luo handed over ninety percent of the affairs of the court to Wang Ke to deal with.
In fact, Wang Ke was basically a 'whole regent' since the autumn of the thirteenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, and he was only one name away from the emperor.
Therefore, he is very skilled in handling government affairs, and the situation in front of him that seems to be the opposite of the world does not scare him at all.
In Qianyuan Palace, Wang Ke was listening to Meng Tian's report.
"Your Majesty, the city has been guarded in various places, and at the same time, the garrisons in various places have also begun to move. Most of the local nobles rebelled, and after the cleansing of Emperor Gaozu, their strength was greatly reduced, and even if they rebelled, the impact was not great. ”
Wang Ke nodded and said, "The edict ordered all troops and horses to prepare to quell the rebellion." This counterinsurgency only kills the first evil, and those who are coerced can be dealt with lightly. Now there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, or don't kill too much, the coercion is just handed over to the three imperial uncles. ”
"General, who do you think can be entrusted with the counterinsurgency?" Wang Ke asked Li Mu.
"Fenwei Captain Zhang Han, loyal and brave, resolute, skillful in the art of war, can be used to break the enemy!" Li Mu said.
"Edict, promote Zhang Han to General Pingdong, and lead an army of 50,000 to quell the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms!" After Wang Ke took the school examination, he immediately appointed Zhang Han as a general.
After receiving the edict, Zhang Han was excited, bowed and thanked him, and then immediately led the army to prepare for the battle.
At the same time, Wang Ke also announced that he would give amnesty to the world, announcing that he would only kill the first evil of the rebel and reduce the crimes of other accomplices. Let these people lay down their arms and surrender.
At the same time, it was announced that all previous tax increases would be abolished, and that taxes would be reduced or exempted until the period of one year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, and that it would be relevant to the people's livelihood. Then he promoted frugality and burial, and again emphasized the abolition of human martyrdom, declaring that there would be no forced labor for three years.
In addition, the condemned prisoners in the prison were pardoned and exiled to Liaodong, southern Fujian, and Yunnan.
Even Wang Luo's mausoleum, the burial goods are very few, in addition to a crown and gown, there is only a piece of jade, nine bronze tripods symbolizing his status, the bronze tripod is engraved with his life's merits, and some bamboo slips. Other than that, there are thousands of firing figurines of lifelike soldiers, and nothing else.
The value of these burial goods is not even comparable to that of those county uncles. However, this is also the tradition of the Great Qian, which has been the case since the Huaiguo era.
With Wang Ke's edict quickly spread to all parts of the world, many places that saw the uprising became ready to settle down quickly.
After all, apart from careerists, few people like war. The war in the world has only disappeared for 16 years now, and these people have all experienced the war of that year.
The dispute between the seven kingdoms can be said to be a continuous war, and there is no year that has not been fought. Heavy taxes were levied every year, and at the same time, they had to serve as cannon fodder, transport grain and grass, and sometimes even be asked to go to war.
They don't want to live that period of life anymore. Therefore, after seeing the imperial edict, many people have died down.
At the same time, Zhang Han led an army of 30,000 east out of the Tiger Prison Pass, at this time Chen Shi had already claimed the king, and gathered 200,000 troops in Zhaodi, and then appointed Wu Guang as the false king, and led the army of 150,000 to the south to besiege Xingyang.
As a result, due to the lack of engineering equipment, it could not be overcome for a while. Zhang Han led the army to arrive, saw that Wu Guang's military camp was sparse, the army was uneven, immediately led the army to attack, Zhang Han broke Wu Guang's army, and then three battles and three victories, completely defeated Wu Guang, and killed him, relieved the siege of Xingyang.
Then the army continued to advance, and then Zhang Han destroyed the Western Chu army Tian Zang, Li Gui and others in a battle, and defeated Wei Qi Yingzhan and all the forces of the two nobles in less than a month.
At the same time, the speed of the fall of the rebel army was also unbelievable, a large number of people touted him as the king of Chen, he completely forgot the old years of Gou Fugui, do not forget, he shouted that the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, but soon thought that he was born noble.
Although it was surrounded by more than 100,000 troops, in the face of Zhang Han's attack, it was almost a touch of collapse, and the rebel army fell apart in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Han did not massacre the rebels, because Wang Ke had already issued an edict to kill the first evildoer. These frightened rebels surrendered one after another, and Zhang Han quickly outflanked Chen with cavalry, captured Chen She, and then escorted him to Luoyang.
After defeating Chen She, who was usurping the king, Zhang Han did not stop, and the army swept all the way, and the entire counterinsurgency was like a storm sweeping away leaves, easily sweeping away those old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Even if there are some difficulties occasionally, but relying on the elite of the Great Cadres and a hundred battles, the only remaining family members and relatives of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms are just a rabble.
The Xiang clan of the Western Chu State gathered thousands of people to rebel, and its head Xiang Yu was even more brave and unparalleled, Zhang Han led the army to attack, he actually took the initiative to attack, took the lead, and was really brave and invincible, under his leadership, he actually defeated Zhang Han three times in a row.
Fortunately, there are not many elites under his command, and although Zhang Han was defeated, the loss was not large.
After seeing Xiang Yu so brave, Zhang Han was not in a hurry to attack, but took advantage of the advantage of his strength and surrounded the army. A little bit of pressure on its living space.
Even if Xiang Yu is brave and invincible, but under the encirclement of the elite of the great cadres, the scope of activities is constantly shrinking. Eventually, they were besieged on a small hill.
The army was besieged for several days, Xiang Yu's soldiers were sleepy and lacking horses, and there was no water source, so he wanted to break through the siege at night, but he was shot by Daqian with a crossbow array, and several arrows were captured.
And after solving Xiang Yu, no one can stop the counterinsurgency army. In just two months, Zhang Han completely quelled the rebellion in the country.
Although the war lasted only three months, it had a great impact on various places, and farming was affected in many places.
Wang Ke then issued another edict to exempt these places from taxation, and at the same time to transport grain from the granaries of various places to help the victims.
In this rebellion, most of the first evils were killed, and Wang Ke deliberately kept Xiang Yu after learning of his bravery.
