Chapter 25, Uprising

In order to boost everyone's morale, Xu Fan then analyzed the current situation: "The people of the world have been suffering from the rule of the Qin Dynasty for a long time. The exorbitant taxes and conscription penalties imposed by the common people on the First Emperor have reached an unbearable level. Look at our Yang There are 800 prisoners in the county, and there will only be more prisoners in the county. There are more than one million prisoners in every county in the world, and there are more than one million prisoners in various large-scale fortifications in Daqin. This is 200 million The above prisoners, plus the families of the prisoners, there are tens of millions of people in the world who are dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty looks extremely powerful, but at this time the Qin Dynasty is already full of dry firewood. As long as we light this spark, the entire Qin Dynasty will The imperial capital was overthrown by the angry people of the world."

But Deng Zong hesitated and said: "The Qin Dynasty has millions of troops. How can we defeat such a powerful enemy alone?"

Xu Fan knew that he must speak to these people, but it was impossible for him to learn from Chen Sheng's method of hiding brocade in the belly of a fish, or to learn how to bark like a fox.

So he drew a simple map of the Qin Dynasty on the ground, and then said: "Although the Qin Dynasty has a million troops, these millions of troops are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and it is difficult to mobilize."

Xu Fan pointed to the land in the southernmost part of the Qin Dynasty and said: "The First Emperor fought for several years to pacify the Baiyue people. Although he defeated the main force of the Baiyue people, rebellions by small groups in the Baiyue people often occurred, so the First Emperor sent 50 The Southern Expeditionary Army suppressed the land of Baiyue, and this army was difficult to mobilize."

Xu Fan pointed to the north again and said: "Two years ago, the First Emperor sent his trusted general Meng Tian to conquer the Huns. Although Meng Tian defeated the Huns, the main force of the Huns was not lost. In order to guard against the Huns, the First Emperor linked Qin, Zhao, and Yan The Three Kingdoms City Wall also dispatched 30 troops to defend against the Huns, while the Central Army of Xianyang City, the capital of Great Qin, has 5 troops. Now there are not many armies in the world. Great Qin is in a situation of defending externally and internally. As long as we rebel, Great Qin will not be able to send any troops in a short time. Send troops to suppress us."

It was only when Xu Fan wanted to start a rebellion against the Qin Dynasty that he discovered that the current Qin Dynasty was actually weaker than the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The only mobile force was tens of thousands of Central Army troops, and there was no heavy defense in the entire hinterland of the Central Plains. Xu Fan They all felt that the First Emperor's heart was really big.

And this also explains why during the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the rebel armies spread in all directions, and the entire Central Plains was in rebellion, but there was no suppression by the Qin army at all.

This was not because Qin II did not want to suppress it, but because he did not have the troops at all. After Zhao Tuo falsely conveyed the Emperor's will and the 50-strong southern expedition decided to cut off the Qin Dynasty and cut off the road between Lingnan and the Central Plains, it was decided that the Qin Dynasty would not have any With mobile troops, Zhang Han, the last famous general of the Qin Dynasty, could only lead hundreds of thousands of prisoners to fight against the rebel armies such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Liang, and Liu Bang.

When the Qin Dynasty's millions of troops turned into tens of thousands of troops, everyone's fear of the Qin Army became much less intense.

Xu Fan continued: "What I just said is a long-term perspective, just to let everyone see that our uprising is bound by gods, and the current situation in Yang County is also very beneficial to our uprising. Although the Qin Dynasty is powerful, it has no power in the entire Yang County. But there are only a dozen Qin officials in charge of this place. The tens of thousands of people in Yang County are our own people, so our real enemy is these dozen Qin officials. We have 800 people. As long as we can keep the Chu officials neutral, we will 800 people can easily kill these dozen Qin officials."

Deng Zong asked: "Boss, what should we do?"

The other leaders are also a little eager to try. A million-strong army will frighten them, but a dozen Qin officials will not scare them. Instead, it inspired their desire for revenge. Everyone here hated the corrupt officials of the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, Zhou Zhang spread out the map of Yang County. Xu Fan pointed at the map of Yang County and said: "There are a lot of soldiers guarding our prison. There are two soldiers guarding the two opposite corners. We only need to find a way to kill them and we can open the prison." door, and then quickly control the sleeping soldiers so that no one can restrict our movements."

The next two most critical places are the arsenal in Yang County, which contains weapons and armor that can equip thousands of people. As long as we capture these weapons and armor, we can become the most powerful armed force in the entire Yang County, and the arsenal There was only one group of soldiers stationed there, so it was not difficult to capture it.

Then we can encircle the county government and kill the county magistrates and officials. Then we will divide our troops into five groups to control the granary and Yangxian city gate respectively, so that the entire Yangxian County can be under our control.

What Xu Fan said was very feasible, and these leaders all agreed to Xu Fan's plan. Xu Fan continued: "Now everyone go to the house and call everyone out."

Xu Fan didn't trust these leaders very much. He was worried that there would be reports of whistle-blowers, so he decided to settle them quickly.

So the leaders returned to their respective houses and called everyone out.

Xu Fan said loudly: "The rumors you have heard during this period are correct. The dog officials plan to escort us all to Guanzhong to build a mausoleum for the First Emperor. Once the construction is completed, we will be buried with the First Emperor.

"What do you want to do!" Something wrong happened to the soldiers on the city wall, and they shouted to the people below.

Xu Fan continued: "Everyone died in Guanzhong, but now it is possible to survive in rebellion. Everyone wants to die or live."

After listening to Xu Fan's words, the prisoners were full of resentment and anger towards the Qin Dynasty like a flood that broke the dam, and they shouted in unison: "We want to live!"

Xu Fan shouted: "Now, I will lead everyone to survive. Kill these guards."

Hundreds of people rushed towards the guarding soldiers. They kept climbing up the city wall that trapped them like a stack of arhats. The two guards faced the madness of 800 people and didn't know what to do for a while. They could only keep using the long guns in their hands. Spearing the prisoner trying to climb up.

The city wall that trapped Xu Fan and the others was more than two feet high. Xu Fan climbed up the city wall in a few steps using a human ladder. Then he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it to a soldier.

"Touch!" The soldier immediately fell to the ground with a bloody head and head.

Xu Fan picked up the spear in the soldier's hand and stabbed the soldier to death with the motion of throwing the javelin. At this time, more and more believers climbed up. These people pulled out the soldier's leather armor and picked up the sword and spear. , rushing towards the guard who had reacted.

Under the leadership of Xu Fan, dozens of prisoners killed eight guards, then opened the cell door and released everyone.

Xu Fan looked at all the prisoners and said: "Everyone listen to my order, everyone kill towards the arsenal, kill!"

"Kill!" All the rebel soldiers also shouted, they wanted to shout out all their fear, anger and hatred.
