Once upon a time, Wei Kexian was also an honest and honest young farmer.
There are more than 20 acres of land in his family. He cultivates the land with his parents and leads a relatively satisfying and warm life that is barely enough for food and clothing.
But who would have thought that without being hit by natural disasters, we would be helpless in the face of man-made disasters.
The family's land was bought by a local big shot, and the price was extremely low. The parents were unwilling to sell it, so the big shot used some official means to bankrupt the family.
Overnight, he went from having enough food and clothing to abject poverty.
They traveled all the way and fled in all directions. His parents starved to death on the way, and he himself almost starved to death. Fortunately, he wandered to Dinghai County, where he was taken in by the Su family and survived.
For countless nights after that, he could dream about his parents losing their land under the oppression of officials. He could also dream about the tragic situation of his parents before they died.
He imagined countless times that if everyone could unite to resist at that time instead of accepting it, the outcome would be better.
So he told Su Yonglin his doubts and asked Su Yonglin whether his idea was correct.
Su Yonglin told him that resisting simply to keep a full belly and keep the land would not succeed. The Southern Song Dynasty oppressed them in all aspects, and if they wanted to resist, they must resist in all aspects.
He asked Su Yonglin, what does all-round resistance mean?
Su Yonglin said that the Southern Song Dynasty should be completely crushed, crushed into dregs, and then blown clean.
Wei Ke nodded confusedly and asked how to crush the Southern Song Dynasty?
Then, Su Yonglin told them how to smash the Southern Song Dynasty to pieces.
The first step is to do this to arouse the anger in the hearts of farmers.
However, the connection between the upper class people in the Southern Song Dynasty was too close, and the oppression was too all-round. Their own strength was relatively strong, and it was difficult to break through from the inside.
If he wants to succeed, he still has to choose a place where the rule is not so strong to test his methods to gain experience and accumulate strength.
The Kingdom of Jin is the best testing ground.
And the current experiment is really good.
He saw the power of the farmers, and he saw how angry and violent the farmers were when they mobilized.
"This is the power of farmers. They usually seem to have a low eyebrow and don't dare to resist any injustice they encounter. They will just swallow their anger just to get a mouthful of food. However, this does not mean that they are not angry.
Long-term oppression and exploitation will arouse their anger. When there is no chance, their anger will be accumulated in their hearts. If they are unlucky, they will never have a chance to vent their lives. But now, their luck has come. "
Wei Ke first pointed at the rioting farmers and said to the team leaders around him: "Weren't we once like them?"
Several squad leaders under his command looked at the rioting farmers with calm and thoughtful expressions.
To be honest, they also have violent emotions in their hearts.
It’s just that they received education earlier than others, learned to think earlier, and learned to look at problems from a different perspective earlier.
So they are thinking and learning.
Compared with ordinary peasant riots, the peasant riots against the Jin people should be more intense, because it is a dual outbreak of national contradictions and class contradictions.
The riot base multiplied by two is double the joy.
So when the rebel soldiers thrust knives into the hands of the excited farmers and asked them to personally kill the Jin landlords who oppressed and exploited them, the excited farmers only hesitated slightly, and then were burned by the fiery emotions. Be sensible and cut with your sword.
None of the fifty Jin households in Ganquan Village survived, and all died at the hands of the farmers who burst out of emotion.
After being oppressed for many years, once it broke out, the terrifying sense of destruction was so strong!
The Ganquan Village Uprising was successfully completed, and the rebel army won a complete victory.
Wei Kexian stayed and still had to do the work of counting the spoils. He found that there were indeed a lot of weapons and equipment in the Jinren village, as well as a lot of money and food, but the most precious thing was undoubtedly the thirty-three good war horses.
Su Yonglin originally only had thirty horses, but he spent a lot of money to buy them through various channels. He usually did not dare to show them outside for fear of being noticed by the government.
Although he had asked as many people around him to practice horseback riding before heading north, it was indeed painful to have equestrian skills and no war horses.
But it's different when you get to the Central Plains.
There was no shortage of horses in the Kingdom of Jin. Then they moved more than forty Jin people from Meng'an to the Central Plains, and then lived together with Han farmers.
This is great news for the rebels. It is difficult to say that these Jin people have no horses.
Kill them and take the horse.
In addition to this good news, Wei Kexian will follow Su Yonglin's order to prepare for the establishment of a farmers' association.
We must let farmers organize themselves, and let farmers' organizations accept our leadership and command. In that case, the power of farmers will be thoroughly stimulated and used by us.
Su Yonglin said.
So Wei Kexian found some relatively prestigious people among the farmers in Ganquan Village.
"Farmers' Association?"
Several older and more prestigious villagers looked at Wei Kexian, wondering what this meant.
Wei Ke smiled first.
"All of you fellow villagers gather together and organize a farmers' association to take charge of things in the village. After all the Jin people are killed, there are no masters in the village. You have to make your own decisions, and the land is yours. You need to discuss dividing the land and resuming production."
"this……"
Several villagers looked at Wei Kexian in surprise.
"General Wei, we..."
"Haha, I'm not a general. The leader of our army is Commander Su. My position is platoon leader. I lead fifty brothers. You can just call me platoon leader Wei."
Wei Ke interrupted them first.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Several villagers looked at each other. Although they didn't know who the leader was, they just knew that this was the right thing to say.
Liu Gen, the oldest villager, bowed his hand towards Wei Kexian.
"Wei Paitou, this land... will be divided among us?"
"Of course, Commander Su said, we are here to fight, to expel the Jin people and return the land to you. We are not here to grab the land and grab food. You have grown up here for generations and will not divide the land. Give it to you, who should you share it with?”
Wei Kexian said this and introduced Su Yonglin and his policies.
Su Yonglin will lead the rebel army to expel the Jin people and return the land to the farmers so that they can produce with peace of mind and have enough to eat. They will never invade their land or treat them as tenants.
Several villagers were surprised and a little excited, a little moved.
Liu Gen asked excitedly: "Does Wei Paitou really mean what he said? Commander Su really... wants to give us this land?"
"It's as real as this knife."
Wei Ke first pointed to his saber.
A few people suddenly didn't know what to say. You looked at me, I looked at you. It was neither standing nor sitting in excitement.
"You can arrange the land distribution by yourself, but the farmers' association must be organized. You can serve as the leaders of the farmers' association. As for the position of president, Mr. Liu, you are the oldest, you can be the president and preside over The matter of dividing land.
We must be public-spirited and allocate land according to the number of laborers in the family. Of course, special care must be given to the families of widows and widowers. The matter of allocating land can be carried out when your peasant association is organized, so there is no need to wait. "
Wei Kexian said with a smile.
