Chapter 1040 The correct way of peasant uprising

"You don't want to start another Yellow Turban Rebellion, do you?" Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and the others looked at each other, and everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xi Zhicai shook his head, "This plan may not be feasible."

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has only been in the past for more than ten years. Regardless of whether the people in the Central Plains have forgotten it, at least those aristocratic families will not forget it. Moreover, they have extremely strict control over the local area. It is easy to be discovered when spreading this stuff."

"In addition, the Yellow Turban Rebellion back then was supported by those big families, and they must have been prepared. Even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, they would be quickly extinguished by them."

"It won't do them any fatal harm."

The corners of Wang Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, clearly showing his disdain for Xi Zhicai's evaluation, "It can only be said that Zhang Jiao's three brothers are not good enough, and they completely messed up a good peasant uprising."

"Peasant uprisings in history were all gathered to burn, kill, and loot. Don't even think about it. A group of peasants who just put down their hoes, well, most of them didn't even put down their hoes. How could they fight against those professional soldiers? Isn't it a matter of time to extinguish it?"

"The advantages of the peasant uprising have not been brought into play at all. If you use your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, it will be strange if you don't fail."

"In addition, there is not even a core program, organizational form, and struggle strategy from the beginning to the end, so how can it not fail."

"But this thing is a big killer. I really didn't want to let it out. It's not a problem to overthrow those aristocratic families in the Central Plains, but the problem is that it is also a kind of harm to us."

……

Half a month later, Yanzhou, Jiyin County, and Chengyang County.

In a village not far from Lei Ze Lake, Li was standing with a dozen soldiers on the threshing ground of the village, with more than 400 villagers in front of him.

"The border area is fighting violent Liu, everyone must know." Li Zheng shouted loudly, but the villagers below looked at him numbly, but no one made a sound.

Of course they knew about the war, and for this they paid another 'kill Liu tax', which made their already difficult life even more difficult.

"Because of the urgent battle on the front line, King Wei issued an order to further increase the number of troops. This time, [-] strong men from our village will be dispatched to participate in the battle. You must prepare your own weapons."

"What, you want to recruit again?" One of the villagers, who looked to be in his sixties, couldn't help shouting, "Didn't you just get drafted for forced labor a while ago?"

This was the case in the military system of the Han Dynasty. Men were obliged to perform military service from the age of 23, and were divided into central "guard" soldiers, and border counties were "garrison" soldiers who served in the original place.

In addition to military service, there is also forced service, but over a long period of time, military service has been gradually abolished, especially after Guangwu, local county soldiers were abolished, and "service" of course does not exist anymore.

It's just that this non-existence is based on the central policy. At the local level, military service has not been cancelled, it has just changed from serving the country to serving the local aristocratic family, including forced service.

Whether it is military service or forced service, the damage to a family is huge. Not only do they not have any wages, but the loss of a strong laborer in the family often brings the family that is already a tenant to the verge of collapse.

As a result, another coping method has been developed at the local level. If a family in the village has a baby, then the work of this family will be taken care of by the non-baby family, so as to stay warm and get through the crisis.

In this village, [-] strong men were sent out a while ago to participate in the forced labor, and they have not returned yet. Another [-] strong men have to be sent out, which is really unbearable for the villagers.

After all, the rent is paid, but the rent cannot be reduced by one cent. However, if [-]% of the population's strong labor force is lost, it will inevitably affect the cultivation of the land. When the harvest decreases, people will starve to death.

Well, now every year someone starves to death too.

"Old man Sun, what's your opinion!" Lizheng immediately became angry when someone questioned him, "This military service and forced service are stipulated by the imperial court, and you still can't do it if you want to disobey!"

"In the past, the Lord's family took care of you and tried to keep you from going out, but now that the country is in crisis, it's time for you to serve the Lord's family."

"Don't forget who gave you the chance to live!"

"If you don't know how to repay your kindness, and you always plant the Lord's land in a wolf-hearted way, then don't blame me for kicking you out!"

"We paid the land rent!" Old Suntou continued to argue that if his four sons were drafted for military service again, it would be his family's turn this time. Military service is not forced service, and the death rate is extremely high in wars. There is no pension, and death is for nothing.

What he didn't know was that the previous forced labor had been filled to the ground, and now the corpses were all reduced to ashes.

"Fart, whoever farms the land and doesn't pay the land rent, why should he rent the land to you? This is the kindness of the master. You guys don't know how to be grateful and still have a lot of shit. Why, if you don't want to farm the land, then you go away !!" Li Zheng jumped up and down and roared, his expression was extremely excited, as if he had been wronged so much.

"Especially your old grandson, what happened to your family's four sons, who gave birth to two daughters? It's hindering your family's succession!"

"It's still the same sentence. If you don't want to plant land, then you should get out. If you don't want to plant something, if you have a surname of Sun, I will ask you if you want to plant it!" The old grandson turned his head.

The old grandson stepped back aggrievedly, and looked at the big family behind him. If he was kicked out at this time, the land he had planted before would be wasted. If there is no harvest this year, the whole family will starve to death. Thinking of this, I can't help but He sighed heavily, lowered his head and said, "Go, I, I will go!"

snort!Li Zheng spat heavily, and then walked back and forth like a victorious general, his eyes swept over everyone's face, and he shouted loudly: "Anyone else, just ask, still, yes, who! "

"And me!" A voice came out suddenly.

Li Zheng was furious when he heard the words, as if he had been insulted, he pulled his neck and shouted loudly, "Who, that bastard, stand up!"

As soon as the words fell, I felt my feet were off the ground, and then I realized that my whole body was picked up by the back of the neck.

Li was struggling to look back to see who was so bold, but after all, his neck was limited and he couldn't make a 180-degree turn.

"Why do you want to see who I am?" Wang Xuan's voice came faintly from behind.

"You have the guts to let me see you!" Li Zheng shouted while trying to grab Wang Xuan's arm.

"Okay, I like to help others the most, so I will help you." He reached out and grabbed Li Zheng's head and twisted it back.

Hearing a click, Lizheng's head turned 180 degrees, this time he finally saw who Wang Xuan was.

"Look, I have fulfilled your request, why don't you thank me properly!"

"It's really rude not to say anything, you say yes." Wang Xuan threw Li Zheng's body out, then turned his head to look at the dozen or so soldiers who were frightened by Guan Hai and others and said. .
