Father can be an enemy to the country

Xu Jiasheng guessed right, Xu Shan brought people into the city to cause trouble.

He brought a dozen die-hard believers from his church to meet with people from several other churches outside Teng County. It turned out that he had brought quite a lot of people.

The original plan was for at least a few thousand people to come and besiege the county government office together, but in the end, not a hundred people came in total...

This small number of people was not enough for the officers and soldiers to attack the county government office. A few of their leaders decided to temporarily change the situation to arson.

This requires less manpower. There are thatched roofs everywhere in the county, and one person can light one with a torch. If we can focus on the county seat, the effect will be great.

After the plan was settled, they prepared to enter the city in batches. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the city gate, I was dumbfounded again. The city gate was actually closed in broad daylight...

Then they made a noise and shouted at the gate. "Open the door, open the door, we are going into the city!"

The officers and soldiers on the city responded loudly: "Accepting orders from Shangfeng, there is chaos in the city, the city gates are closed, and the whole city is searched. You go back!"

"..." Xu Shan and others looked at each other, wondering whether one of their colleagues had taken advantage of them first?

"How to fix it?" Several incense owners looked at each other.

"What else can we do? We, the only ones, still want to attack the city?" The oldest incense owner said angrily: "Since someone has already caused trouble, let's go elsewhere."

"Oh, this is the only way..." The incense owners sighed with regret, but there was a hint of relief in their voices.

"Then let's work separately. This way we can't concentrate our efforts on one point, so we'll try to expand the area as much as possible."

So the Wenxiang Cult members who had just gathered dispersed again...

On the way back with his men, Xu Shan discussed that he could not just go back like this. Otherwise, I didn’t get the mooncakes and didn’t do anything important. It would be such a loss.

So they thought about it and decided to light the wheat straw in the field.

The autumn harvest has just passed, and the people are busy returning the grains to their warehouses. They have not yet taken care of harvesting the wheat straw, so they are all piled in the fields without anyone taking care of them.

They took torches and lit them all the way. Smoke billowed along the way, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Needless to say, it looks really impressive.

On Weishan Lake, Master Zhang stood on a small boat. Seeing the thick smoke rising into the sky, he nodded happily and said: "The mission is accomplished."

He ordered the boatman to sail immediately and leave Teng County to prevent Xu Shan and others from confessing themselves after being arrested.

As everyone knows, Xu Shan was indeed caught, but not by an official, but in the hands of his second uncle.

But Xu Jiasheng didn't even bother to eat, so he took the men from Jiali and went straight to the county town, thinking that even if he couldn't stop them, he still had to have a chance to kill the family in a just and righteous way.

Unexpectedly, I met Xu Shan and a dozen people burning wheat straw in the field on the way...

Xu Jiasheng and the others were stunned. His eldest brother looked around and panted: "They have no village in front of them and no store in back. What are they doing? Are they doing a great job?"

"I don't know, religious people have brain problems." Xu Jiasheng cursed. At this moment, he just felt extremely lucky. "Fortunately, they have brain problems, so we don't have to bury them with them."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the neighbors came forward with sticks and beat Xu Shan and others. Give them a lesson they will never forget and see if they dare to imitate others and cause trouble?

As a result, Xu Shan was beaten into a pig's head by his second uncle and was taken back and imprisoned until the Chinese New Year before being released...

The long-planned Yanzhou rebellion probably turned into a similar farce.

On August 15th, there were no less than a hundred fires, large and small, and there were reports of fires everywhere, but they were all concentrated in towns and cities. Fucheng and the county were basically safe. Zhu Zhen finally let go of his worries.

In fact, there was no rebellion in the city at all. The so-called rebellion was just an excuse to close the city gates.

Zhu Zhen planned to close all city gates from the beginning. This was the ultimate move to prevent the flow of people.

However, simply not allowing the movement of people will not solve the problem, but may intensify conflicts. But coupled with daily welfare payments, people can stay emotionally stable and stay in place for ten days and a half.

In fact, in order to resolve this civil uprising, he also played a lot of cards, such as the most basic compensation and apology, erecting monuments to vent the anger of the people; mobilizing students to lead public opinion; maximizing the use of the Baojia system to stabilize the grassroots; and large-scale mobilization of the army, in Yanzhou drill shocked Xiaoxiao...

It was this series of combination punches that made his opponent so abstract. The official of Yanzhou Prefecture, who was so abstract that he barely made any waves, could not help but murmur privately, is this Sixth Prince making too much of a fuss? How can anyone rebel? What about a massive rebellion across the province, and that’s it?

As a result, within two days, news of rebellions spread throughout the province...

On August 16, urgent news came from Dongchang Prefecture. Countless rioters rushed into the prefectural and county towns, smashed the government offices, and frightened the prefect of Dongchang into abandoning the city and fleeing. Several county magistrates were detained by the mob, and their lives were uncertain.

On the same day, news came from Jinan Prefecture that in addition to the provincial capital, rebellions of varying degrees occurred in various counties. Among them, eight counties including Qidong, Qihe, Jiyang, and Zhangqiu were lost. The county magistrates either escaped or were captured. …

On August 17, news came from Dengzhou Prefecture that six counties including Huangxian, Qixia, Zhaoyuan and Laiyang were occupied by rebels. The prefect Li Ying went out of the city to negotiate with the rebels, but was detained...

On the 18th, news came from Laizhou Prefecture that all five counties and two prefectures were occupied by rebels, all government offices were burned, and the prefect Zhou Shiwei fled Qingzhou, but was intercepted by the rebels on the way...

The successive bad news made Yanzhou officials stunned, and they finally understood how awesome the Sixth Prince was.

You must know that the rebellious people in various prefectures are doing so under the banner of supporting Yanzhou.

However, Yanzhou, which was supposed to be the center of the storm, was now peaceful, with people queuing up to receive eggs every day...

It turns out that all the arrangements made by the prince are not unnecessary, but when the wind blows at the end of Qingping, mediocre people like them are not aware of it.

They finally understood what it meant that those who were good at fighting had no great achievements. Looking at those colleagues in the foreign government who suffered the disaster, I suddenly felt that it was an extremely happy thing to give out eggs and duck eggs to the people every day like now.

Zhu Zhen didn't feel lucky at all, but was very shocked. Although he predicted that there would be turmoil in the entire province, he never expected that the scale would be so large and the intensity would be so fierce!

Can King Lu alone cause such a huge wave?

"Isn't it Brother Seventh who is behind this?" Old Eleven asked in a low voice.

"What do you say?" Zhu Zhen looked at Shu Xiucai.

"After all, so far, apart from Yanzhou, only Qingzhou in Shandong has not been in chaos..." Old Eleven said in an increasingly quiet voice: "Doesn't this show that he is not as unbearable as the legend says?"
