When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 48 The power to subvert a country.

Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Changsun Wuji was quite disdainful of this method of the Song Dynasty: "Rebellion is when people with evil intentions deliberately accumulate food and recruit soldiers and horses, but in addition to those evil and treacherous villains with evil intentions, there is also an uprising of the common people!"

"While ordinary villains are easy to judge when they rebel, it is the uprising of the people that is truly difficult to end!"

"According to Song Taizong's policies, the people will inevitably revolt. His decrees have left the people with nothing to eat. How can they not rebel?"

Fang Xuanling on the side also sighed and continued: "The Song Dynasty's control over Sichuan and Sichuan was really limited. The local officials, together with the aristocratic families, deceived the superiors and subordinates. They were also blinded by the wealth, confused, and completely ignored the people's livelihood. No matter whether you ask or not.”

[For people who are already in the middle class of society, they do need a certain amount of money to rebel, but for ordinary people who are at the bottom of society and struggling to survive, rebellion does not require money. The reason why they The uprising happened precisely because there was no money. 】

[When the basic guarantees of survival have disappeared, they just need someone. 】

[And the harsh policies of the Song Dynasty for many years have provided them with enough people, and these people have the power to subvert a country! 】

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh and said, "I was indeed wrong."

The miracles have pointed out all the problems for him, such as taxes, gambling, land, corruption, the law of copper coins, etc.

These problems continue to accumulate, including almost all the people, farmers, and small traders in the entire Sichuan and Sichuan regions.

They didn't want to revolt, but if they didn't rebel, there would be no way to survive. It may not be accurate to call them rebellion or uprising. What they wanted was just a livelihood. It would be more appropriate to describe it as survival.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang's face was a little solemn, and he noticed something.

Why did the peasant uprising in the Song Dynasty have such a great impact? It was called "the power to subvert a country" by Miracle.

He looked back at his own Great Qin. Was his policy harsh?

Do those commoners really have that kind of power?

Will they revolt?

Qin Shihuang was lost in thought.
-
In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

"My policy of being close to the people and loving the people will never be used by those treacherous villains again," Zhao Guangyi stood up and said righteously. He will never let himself be involved in incidents such as bullying and preying on the people!

He is a king who wants to rule the country with virtue and leave his name for eternity!

"Starting from today, the policies of the Sichuan and Shu regions will be greatly changed! There is only one purpose, and that is to ease the labor of the people! There is no need to be forced to join the ranks of those rebels, and our officials in the Sichuan and Shu regions must all strictly check!"

[Year after year of oppression, there is no end in sight. I work hard during the day and worry about whether I will have a job tomorrow at night. I am ordered around all day long, but it is difficult to even keep a full stomach. 】【The people in the Sichuan and Shu areas have persisted to the extreme. The double blow to their bodies and minds has made it difficult for them to persist. 】

[At this time, natural disasters occurred frequently in Sichuan and Sichuan. Many officials still went their own way, amassing money wantonly, and did not provide any relief to the victims. 】

[Finally, under the never-ending greed of officials, no one was willing to endure it until they lost their lives, and the people woke up. 】

[In the second year of Chunhua, a small group of rebels appeared to attack Changchuan, Hezhou and other places.In the third year of Chunhua, peasant uprisings broke out in Rongzhou, Zizhou, Longzhou and other places.In the fourth year of Chunhua, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out completely, and the entire Sichuan-Shu region was completely reduced to a land of war and chaos. 】

In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

Although he knew that there was going to be a large-scale peasant uprising in Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhao Guangyi thought it was still behind him, but he didn't expect that according to the miracle, so many uprisings had already broken out one after another, but why, as the emperor, did he not know at all!
He glanced down below with scrutinizing eyes. Many people were scratching their heads and tried their best to defend: "Perhaps most of them have not reached a certain scale, and local officials feel that such trivial matters do not need to be reported to the court."

Not only was Zhao Guangyi not convinced, but he even felt that his idea was correct.

"I don't think there's any need to report it." I'm afraid I'm worried that I'll find out about the shady things they did in Shu!I have been working hard and striving for great achievements, hoping that the Song Dynasty can become a country of saints. It would be better for you, one by one, to block the emperor's ears and eyes, and hinder my way to become a saint! "

Zhao Guangyi cursed while looking at the miracle, always paying attention to the movements of the rebels.

[The leader of the rebel army is named Wang Bo. He was originally a tea farmer. He experienced a lot of exploitation and worked until death. He could not support himself, let alone his family. 】

[After announcing the uprising, his team expanded faster than anyone imagined, and local households joined the uprising team without exception. 】

[Subsequently, under the leadership of Wang Bo and others, they conquered Shuzhou, Hongzhou and other places, including Pengshan County. Qi Yuanzhen, the model county magistrate, did not escape the hands of the rebels. After he was captured by the rebels, He was handed over to the local people, who then opened his stomach and stuffed it with the money he had collected over the years. 】

[In the end, the rebel army equally distributed the wealth of Qi Yuanzhen and others to the local people, and this move also greatly helped the rebel army win over the people. 】

[In December, Wang Boshun led the rebel army to attack the transportation artery between Shu and western Sichuan. The officers and soldiers along the way were well-equipped, but Wang Xiaobo's rebel army was also brave and tenacious.Defeat officers and soldiers several times. 】

[However, without checking, Wang Bo was injured in the abdomen by a cold arrow. However, regardless of the arrow injury, Wang Bo finally led the crowd to defeat the officers and soldiers and conquered the place. However, he died of his injuries in the end. 】

[The government thought that after the death of the leader, the rebel army would be defeated, but the reality was completely opposite. 】

[Wang Bo's death instead deepened the rebels' hatred of the Song Dynasty. One of Wang Bo's nephews, Zhang Shun, took the lead and refused to recruit troops, instigating a larger-scale uprising. 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Seeing Wang Bo's death, Zhu Di was not shaken at all. He was not surprised. After all, he fought hard from the battlefield, so he knew it.

This kind of rebel army that the people support will never collapse because of the fall of one or two leaders. Their gathering itself is not because of those leaders. If you want to truly quell the rebellion completely, only by stabilizing the people can do it. .

If you want to eliminate the rebellion in Shu by killing Wang Bo and others, you must take action before they send troops to achieve results, so that it is possible to temporarily contain the turmoil.

And when they raised an army, the court had to face the people of Shu who had been oppressed for a long time.
