I’m The King

One year later, another large-scale peasant uprising broke out in Shu County. What's different this time from last year is that the peasant army in this year's riots was clearly planned, premeditated, and step-by-step. Last year, it blossomed on all sides. It seemed that the imperial court was in a mess, but its strength was weak everywhere. After Zhou Liang led his troops into Shu, all the rebels were put out within a few months. This year, these peasants had a temporary gain in their wisdom, but they were planning and then acting, and in one fell swoop, all the five thousand regular troops transferred from the imperial court to Shu County were wiped out.

In the battle of Cang'er Mountain, the Qin army headed by Zhou Liang died in the battle (Zhou Liang disappeared, and the corpses in the big narrow valley of Biandanya became a mountain, so that the Qin people naturally thought he died in battle), and retired before the mountain forest. The commander of the Black Ice Platform made Zhong Li die in battle, the Zhong Mansion was destroyed, and the two shocking news that were transmitted to Shu County and to the center of the Qin Dynasty had not yet been reacted by the court, and the chaos in Shu County had spread rapidly from Ziyang. Then, within ten days, it swept through half of the Shu county, without the pressure of Zhou Liang’s five thousand elite Qin army, the weak combat power of the local guards and the village soldiers, under the attack of the angry peasant rebel army, was like the soil. Like a chicken, he was beaten thousands of miles away.

Shu County was in chaos, Shu County Shoumei, Changchun gathered all the defeated soldiers, shrank in the county town, and controlled the land, but it was only a hundred miles around the county town. The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that the peasant uprising army occupied more than half of it. After Shu County, the turbulent expansion momentum stopped unexpectedly. This allowed Mei Changchun to take a sigh of relief, and while appealing to the court for help, he hurriedly recruited troops and trained guards and village soldiers in Shu County. Try to restore strength.

"Trash!" Yingying angrily tore Shu County's emergency notice to pieces, and threw it up inside the Black Ice Terrace Palace. Suddenly a piece of paper rain fell on Fan Sui, Mingtai, and Bai Qi, who were in front of him.

The Qin Dynasty was struggling to reform its internal affairs. At this time, most of Fan Sui's energy was still on the officials of the Li school of naturalization. These people accounted for most of the strength of the court. It's impossible to kill them all, rushed away. If this were the case, then the Qin Dynasty would be over. After severely hitting the headed several people, Fan Sui began to win over and disintegrate the opponent's alliance. Although there are still many of these people looking forward and backward because of Lu Chao's existence, overall, it's still going well. Tan Feng has been implementing reforms in Yingchuan for more than two years and has been very effective. It has also greatly increased the confidence of Yingying and Fan Sui. At least now, Tan Feng’s Yingchuan is self-sufficient. In addition to military equipment, the court still needs to supply food, grass and silver. Be self-sufficient.

But Fan Sui knew it well. It is impossible for Tan Feng's actions in Yingchuan to be widely promoted across the country because Tan Feng's actions are simple and rough. Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be charged with Litong Han Guo, kill to kill, go to jail, go to jail, and act vigorously and harshly. The local tycoons had to bow their heads. But all of this is based on the fact that Yingchuan is the front line, and all is limited to one place. Yingchuan is also a border land, even if there are not many powerful households, and there is less connection with the big figures above the court, the impact is minimal.

Yingchuan’s success, Ji Yingying made up his mind to promote it all over the country, and it went smoothly in the surrounding areas of Xianyang. After all, it was at the feet of the emperor, and no one dared to fight it. However, in other counties, the implementation was very slow. It even caused such a big mess.

It is reasonable to send troops to suppress the chaos in Shu County and restore the normal rule of Shu County, but now, Qin Ting really can’t send troops. Two-thirds of the country’s troops are concentrated in the hands of Lu Chao and stationed at Hangu Pass. Not to mention whether Qin Ting can mobilize Lu Chao’s soldiers and horses. The tens of thousands of troops stationed in the opposite Jinyang Han State made Qin Ting not dare to act rashly. Once the troops there were mobilized, Hangu Pass Being taken advantage of by the Han is a question of national subjugation.

Tan Feng’s loyalty seems to be no problem now, and the 50,000 Qin army under him is also an elite. At least now, the Han army facing Yingshui has no intention of attacking at all, but Qin Ting doesn’t. Dare to mobilize the people there, and Zhou Yu’s 50,000 people are now in seven tunes and eight tunes, and his subordinates are no more than 30,000. They are stationed on the border of Qin Chu, and they are already stretched out. Where can they dare to tune in? It is an ally, but if the Qin people show fatigue and show a big flaw in front of the Chu people, can they guarantee that the Chu people will not take the opportunity to stab the Qin people? ally? When the power is equal, it is an ally, when the power balance is unbalanced, it is a fish.

Apart from these few field troops, what is left is the capital Xuanyiwei led by Bai Qi. This is the basic force to guard Xianyang. Xianyang is the foundation of the country. It is impossible to mobilize them into Shu. Bai Qi is editing and training. The new army in China has just gotten a head start, and can't make it to the battlefield at all.

The Great Qin Kingdom, which was once so brilliant and overwhelming all countries, was exposed to helplessness by the peasants of a county. It is no wonder that Yingying was furious. He was the prince who had passed through the strongest time of Da Qin. He wanted to use 20,000 cavalry alone in the past. How vigorous the Qin army was when he pursued and killed the court of the Xiongnu for thousands of miles. After only more than ten years, the State of Qin was already weak.

"How on earth did this situation become? The reform of internal affairs, the distribution of land, land, and interest-free loans to these people are all actions that benefit the country and the people. Why do these people rebel?" Yingying roared angrily The sound echoed in the black ice platform. He couldn't figure it out. He was already thinking about these people. In order to win their support, he did not hesitate to offend the rich and powerful, but why did they not buy it? Let the entire Qin State shake.

"The king!" Mingtai stepped forward, hesitant to speak.

"What do you hesitate to do, say!" Yingying roared.

Mingtai glanced at Fan Sui, hesitated, and finally decided to tell the truth. This was a major event related to the rise and fall of the Qin State, but at this time he was not concerned about Fan Sui's face.

"Regarding the rebellion in Shu County, Weichen has obtained a detailed report from the Black Ice Platform branch there." Ming Tai said.

Yingying was taken aback, glanced at Mingtai, and then looked at Fan Sui's expression, and her heart suddenly calmed down. "What is the investigation of the Black Ice Terrace, and how did this riot cause it?"

"The King, the rebellion in Shu County was triggered by the land reform." Mingtai said.

"How is this possible? Are they still dissatisfied with the distribution of land to these people?"

"The problem is that these lands are not in the hands of the people at all." Mingtai bit his scalp and said: "Shu county officials and local tycoons colluded with each other, falsely listed the roster, privately divided the land, and invaded the vast majority of the land for private ownership. Some People who have been dead for many years have been put on the list and have been assigned fields. In fact, these lands have been in the hands of local officials and gentry. The people have not been given land at all. They are even more hateful. They are hidden from the edict. Interest loans, the terms of annual payment, sell the wasteland or poor land to the people at a price several times higher than the market price. If the people have no money, they will take this opportunity to lend usury, waiting for the people to respond. , Has long been in debt, and the land obtained will not yield at all. There are countless homicides in various parts of Shu County. In this peasant riot, Wen Yi, the titan among the bandit leaders, is Because the usury borrowed tens of taels of silver but bought 30 acres of wasteland, his wife and children died because of this, and they killed the officials and rebelled."

Hearing Mingtai enumerating the illegal actions of Shu County officials and gentry, Yingying's face turned black and Fan Sui's face was bitter. A great good governance, when it reaches the local level, has become a means for the judges and bad gentry to make a fortune. Yingying sank down on the chair, her hand gripping the corner of the case was exposed and trembling slightly.

"Okay, it's really good, is it really bad for a killer knife in a lone hand? Mingtai!" Yingying shouted.

"Master, wait a minute!" Fan Sui took a step forward, "I can't make it, now Shu County can't endure any more turmoil."

"Fan Qing, you are because Lu Dafang was sent to Shu County by you, so you want to protect him? These corrupt officials, which one shouldn't be killed?" Yingying asked gloomily.

"The king!" Fan Sui pulled up his robe and knelt down: "My lord, as far as his crimes are concerned, it is not an exaggeration for these people to behead their heads a hundred times, but now and here, it is out of fashion. Shu County is in chaos. But the county city is still in the hands of the government, and the county city is not lost, there is still hope. Now in the Shu county city, there are guards and village troops. They are the last force to guard the county city, and behind these guards, the village soldiers, It is these officials and tyrants who are standing. Once they are killed, the guards and the village soldiers will be panicked~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They will not be able to withstand a blow again. At that time, the county city will be insecure and the county city will be lost. , Then Shu County is lost!"

"Could it be said that relying on these rat generations is difficult to regain Shu County?" Yingying said angrily.

"My lord, although these people have not succeeded in achieving success and more than failing in failure, they have been forced to the precipice. If they do not rise up, they will inevitably be killed by the gangsters, whether it is for themselves or for the country. At this time, We can only appease and encourage them to stand up and protect themselves. Even if the rule of Shu County cannot be restored, the situation cannot be allowed to deteriorate. The court now really cannot send a single soldier to quell the rebellion. Can rely on their own strength." Fan Sui persuaded.

Yingying was silent for a moment, "Is it possible that Gu not only does not punish these people who have misunderstood the country, but also warmly encourages them to become officials?"

"My lord, the grace and disgrace are all in the hands of the king. What can be given to them today will naturally be taken back in the future. After this hurdle, everything calms down. It is not too late to come back one by one to pursue the responsibility. Now, You really can't go to war!" Fan Sui said.

Yingying looked up to the sky and sighed. When he was in the army, black was black and white was white. But for several years in power, he has deeply understood that ruling a country is completely different from ruling an army. Sometimes he knows it is a fly, but Had to swallow it. (To be continued)
