The hearts of the rebels in Donghai County are filled with infinite anger!
These angers are directed at the powerful officials and officials in the counties, at Chang'an City's Wang Mang who reformed the New Deal, and at the legendary empress dowager who is a peerless enchantress!
The sage said: If you accept the country's filth, you are called the master of the country; if you accept the country's misfortune, you are the king of the world.
With a sharp weapon in mind, the murderous intention arises!
When you drop the hoe and farm tools in your hand and hold the sword instead, all the depression can no longer be controlled.
The anger that had been accumulated for an unknown amount of time was like an erupting volcano, raging to destroy everything in this world.
The rebellion in Donghai County is getting more and more peaceful. This new policy is like knocking down dominoes. The people of Donghai County are no longer willing to simply kill one or two officials to vent their anger.
The rebels bloomed everywhere and even easily captured two county towns. Soon someone realized that the rebels were too messy, like a piece of loose sand.
So someone climbed up and shouted, claiming to be the King of the East China Sea. He went up to the altar in the county town, brandished his sword, gathered the heroes, and loudly said to the common people wearing rags: "It is probably our misfortune to be born in a dark world.
But with the sword in his hand and the road at his feet, could he just die in the wilderness without any name?
Don’t those who exploit us and enslave us need to pay a price?
Being as patient as a pig or a dog is not what the people of Zhuxia should do.
We swear an oath here to follow the teachings of Emperor Su and eradicate the evil rule of the Han Dynasty!
Rise up and make a revolution, just like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu did!
The destiny of the Han Dynasty has fallen, and King Su will protect the people of Donghai.
The fate of the Han Dynasty is over, and the King of the East is about to emerge! "
Countless people raised their arms and shouted, their voices so loud that they even shattered the clouds in the sky, "The fate of Han Dynasty is over, and the King of the East will be crowned!"
The rebels seemed to have found a backbone and attached themselves to his command. People who were struggling to survive in Donghai County came to him one after another.
The King of the East China Sea stood on the high platform, high-spirited, quite similar to the scene at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the past, when Chen She and his husband were in trouble and the seven temples were destroyed.
Things are changing.
There is no immortal dynasty in this world.
There is no immortal royal family in this world.
The common people have no power and power, but they can never be bullied!
After the King of Donghai took the oath, he directly attacked Tan County, the county seat of Donghai County. He roared loudly, "Attack Tan County and kill the dog thief Cui Yi!"
Once the refugees capture the county town, there will be a qualitative change, because most county towns have arsenals, in which more or less armor and sharp weapons are stored.
When the menacing tens of thousands of troops rushed towards him, Cui Yi finally felt something was wrong. In the midst of the county administration, he said angrily with a livid face: "These untouchables can't just be a starving ghost in peace, but they follow suit." Braised mantis.
He actually dared to resist the imperial court, and the saint's teachings of loyalty and filial piety went into the dog's belly!
Do you think you can shake up the imperial court with just a bunch of people? "
Even the officials in the army were stunned by Cui Yi's words. They really didn't expect that a person could be so shameless.
The speed of the rebel army entering the palace far exceeded everyone's expectations. The same was true at the end of the Qin Dynasty. People were distracted and Cui Yi was unpopular in the county.
There was almost no decent resistance along the way, and there were actually very few standing soldiers in the county.
Generally, there are no more than a thousand standing soldiers in the county. Facing the menacing rebel army and the common people who cooperate inside and outside, these soldiers with little fighting spirit were directly defeated without much resistance.
The rebels fought all the way to Tan County and spent most of their time on the road, which made most people unable to react.
Not only Cui Yi but also Xiao didn't react.
Now there is no chance to break through the Jin Order and gain power in the county, because the court system in Donghai County is about to collapse. All he can do is to rely on the Fou Kingdom to hold on, and then contact Chu on the west side of Donghai County. Kings, attack each other.
Cui Yi never imagined how he would end up where he is today.
He knew that even if he could save his life this time, he would have no chance of becoming an official.
So he became more and more angry, never expecting that after decades of dominance, he would eventually fall into the hands of the people he regarded as fish and meat.
The rebel army successfully broke through Tan County, and the officials in the county dispersed in a hurry.
As the rebels poured into the city, Tan County turned into hell almost instantly. This is the county government and a place where merchants and nobles gather. The rebels came with anger, and it would be abnormal not to loot.
…
In the governor's house, Cui Yi certainly couldn't sit still and wait for death.
He is not the kind of person who can die calmly. He just wants to live well and enjoy countless glory and wealth.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos when the rebels had just entered the city, put on civilian clothes and escape.
"Pfft!"
This was the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh and blood, and a heartbreaking pain shot through Cui Yi's legs. Cui Yi was about to escape and fell to the ground, unable to stand up.
He turned around and looked in disbelief. It turned out to be Zhao Ji, the dancer in his mansion. She was one of his most beloved beauties. Even if he ran away, he would not forget to take her with him.
"You bitch! What are you doing?!"
Cui Yi asked with uncontrollable anger. This knife completely cut off his life. His voice was sharp and thin, like an eggless eunuch in the palace, and there was infinite panic in it. What should I do if I can't escape?
The usually docile expression on Zhao Ji's face completely disappeared, and was replaced by a look full of hatred. Her soft cheeks were filled with overwhelming hatred, and she said sternly: "Cui Yi.
Do you know how long I have been waiting for this opportunity today?
If it weren't for you, a thief, my family would not be ruined. Day and night, I would like to kill you and then be quick.
I have always wanted to ask, what do I, a humble citizen, do in your eyes?
Presumably not a human being anymore.
Are they pigs and dogs that can be used as messengers?
such a pity.
We are human beings!
It's a living person!
Our status may be humble, but our souls after death are just like great people like you. They are all the subjects of Emperor Su. King Su will treat us fairly at the end of death.
No.
How can a person like you dare to come in front of Emperor Su?
Falling into hell is your only ending. "
Cui Yi dared to do such a thing, so he naturally had no faith in King Su, but facing Zhao Ji, who controlled his life and death, he was extremely afraid and begged for mercy again and again.
Zhao Ji looked at Cui Yi and continued: "Are you wondering why I didn't take action until now when there were so many opportunities before?
Because simply killing you is too cheap for you. People like you should die painfully in torture! "
Crushing, chopping people into pieces.
When Cui Yi heard this, his body began to shake. He wailed in pain and begged for mercy, expressing his willingness to use countless gold and silver jewelry in exchange for his life.
But Zhao Ji was unmoved. She found a hard stone that came handy from the garden, walked to Cui Yi, and said sternly: "Cui Yi, you have always looked down on the common people. The one who killed you today, She is just an ordinary slave singer.
What can a big shot like you say now?
Use your power and position to punish me? "
As he spoke, he raised the stone and hit it hard on his palm. One after another, Cui Yi screamed like a slaughtering pig almost instantly. He cried and wailed, "Kill me!"
kill me!
I'll tell you all the treasure troves, kill me. "
Watching myself turn into meat paste moment by moment, I feel like I would rather die than live.
But Zhao Ji was unmoved. There seemed to be a light on her soft cheeks, full of serious colors, just like when she used to play the piano, sing, and dance. In the past twenty years, this was the most meaningful thing she had ever done. one thing.
This is what the rebels saw when they rushed into the backyard.
A man in civilian clothes was lying on the ground. His palms, arm joints, feet, ankles, and lower body were all bloody and bloody. His body twitched from time to time.
A woman is holding a stone in her hand and hitting the man's waist one after another. This scene can even make people feel the pain of the man under the woman's stone.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the woman turned her head. Only then did the rebels see that the woman's face was quite beautiful, and she could even be said to be a beauty.
But this beauty now had blood on her hands and face, her eyes were red, and she was smiling. Her white teeth looked quite strange and sinister. For a moment, everyone even took a step back.
Before the rebels could say anything, the woman started to say: "Fellow volunteers, can you lend me your sword? It's too tiring to use stones and a small sword. I'm afraid this thief Cui Yi is going to die."
Cui Yi!
All the rebels were shocked. Those who had seen Cui Yi quickly stepped forward to see that it was actually Cui Yi, the two thousand stone official of the imperial court, the governor of Donghai County!
Seeing that Cui Yi was breathing out too much and taking in little, he didn't know when he would die in infinite pain. "Quick, quick, bring back Cui Yi, the thief. He is what the king is looking for, and he will take this woman with him." Come back."
…
The King of Donghai was shocked when he saw the bloody Cui Yi, and when he saw Zhao Ji, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "I don't know my name, but I can do such a righteous deed, which is better than all the sons."
The blood on Zhao Ji's face had gradually dried up, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, just call me Mrs. Zhao Sanniang."
"good!"
The King of Donghai kicked Cui Yi and said in a deep voice: "Without further ado, let's kill Cui Yi under the great banner. Use this two thousand stone head to pay homage to the dead brothers and people, and tell the big shots in the Han Dynasty. , the situation is irreconcilable.”
A basin of cold water woke him up from almost death. When he regained his consciousness, Cui Yi could see clearly all around him. They were all people in shabby clothes. They looked at him angrily. Boundless pain hit him in waves, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. .
“Brothers, this is the governor of Donghai County, one of the murderers who destroyed our family with two thousand stones from the Han Dynasty, and we are here to kill him today.
Then spread throughout the world. "
As the sharp blade slashed hard, Cui Yi felt a burst of pain, and then all consciousness disappeared.
"Chop into minced meat!"
The surging rebel army rushed up and tore Cui Yi's body into pieces. Officials in counties and counties who did not escape were beheaded.
The sudden rise of the King of the East China Sea, his rapid gathering, his correct strategic thinking, his choice of raiding the county, and the smooth combat process made the situation in the entire county completely out of control.
Even far beyond the powerful thoughts of those who provoked it.
No one thought that a ragtag group of rebels could gather together so quickly, and no one thought that the imperial officers and soldiers would be so vulnerable.
…
The messenger trembled and recounted everything he saw in Donghai County. After the rebels rose up, the evil in Donghai County was also exposed to Dabai.
Luo Qi closed his eyes slightly, but the bulging veins on his hands proved how much anger he had in his heart.
"Audacious, without the king's law, betraying the teachings of the saints, without courtesy, justice and shame, disloyal to the king, dishonest to the superiors, deceiving superiors and subordinates, extremely bad morals, extremely corrupt conduct, since the first year of Shenyou, I have never heard of such appalling things The officials are the worms of the Han Dynasty and the sinners of the world."
Luo Qi's voice was low, but Wang Mang's face was pale. This incident had a huge impact on him. It could even be said that his mentality collapsed. He didn't understand how it could be like this?
"Oppressing the people eventually led to his own death. Why is this?"
Luo Qi said in a deep voice: "Man perishes for money, and birds perish for food. He has lived among the common people for decades and has never experienced these things. If the butcher's knife does not reach his body, how can he know the power of the common people?
What to do with the Rebels now?
One bad thing is that Xuzhou is in total rebellion, the country is in turmoil, and the reform of laws and regulations is just a joke. "
Wang Mang woke up from a dream. Cui Yi's incident made him instantly suspicious of the governors of Guandong. He said hatefully: "These governors of Guandong are actually like tigers, leopards and wolves. It's all my fault for my previous mistakes." If you believe them, you should immediately dismiss these people and send your cronies from Guanzhong to join the battle.
The bandits were eliminated first, but the bandits in the East China Sea actually said that the Han Dynasty was about to end and must be severely attacked. Kantong colluded with the bandits and sent an elite army out of the pass to let them know that the world still belonged to the Han Dynasty. "
The reason why Wang Mang wanted to severely attack this rebel army was because of their slogans, and this rebel army also clearly wanted to kill him, the leader of the New Deal, and put Cui Yi's fault on him.
After hearing this, Luo Qi immediately said: "We cannot send Guanzhong soldiers into Guandong. These soldiers must be retained to guard Guanzhong, and we must also guard against the grasslands and Hexi. The more chaotic the world is, the more stable Guanzhong must be.
If the troops in Guanzhong suffered heavy losses, how could they control the world? Then the world would really be in chaos.
When Wang Mang heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "If we don't adjust the troops in Guanzhong, will we see Guandong rotting away?
If Wen Qi leads the troops personally, you will definitely be able to put down the chaos in the East China Sea. "
Luo Qi refused to give in and said coldly: "Jujun, you should calm down. I'm afraid the news will come soon. Kanto is not just about the chaos in the East China Sea.
What Chang'an needs is to be as stable as Mount Tai, so that everyone in the world knows that the court has the confidence to suppress everything.
I immediately went to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager, calling on the kings and princes to clear the country, defend the kingdom and the cities of the princes, and control the rebellion east of Luoyang to consume the rebels. "
Wang Mang was hit hard by Luo Qi, and his brain, which had been demented due to a mental breakdown, recovered a little.
Luo Qi hurried to the palace. Zhao Feiyan was still smiling when she saw Luo Qi coming, but when she heard that the situation in Guandong was in full swing, her beauty suddenly turned pale, and her charming and beautiful face was full of panic.
Luo Qi sighed slightly and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety. Anyone who wants to harm you must step over my body first.
Now please use the Empress Dowager's seal to urge the princes of Guandong to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, defend the city, and lock the rebel army east of Luoyang. "
Zhao Feiyan grabbed the sleeves of Luo Qi's broad robe with one hand, used seals with the other, and said sadly: "Young master, you must be equal to the world."
Luo Qi put away the edict, looked at Zhao Feiyan and said softly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, don't worry, I know what's going on. If something goes wrong, I will go to my father and I will ensure your safety."
————
The situation in Guandong is becoming more and more urgent. The East China Sea has broken through the counties and counties, killing officials with a weight of two thousand stones or less, and the whole world is in an uproar.
At that time, some ministers made suggestions, and the Empress Dowager issued an edict: "The situation is urgent. The Jin Ling of Guandong and the princes of the Liu family each lead their troops bravely. It is advisable to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and stand firm and wait.
Why do good people rise up in violence?
Officials exploited without moral integrity and powerful families acted unjustly, thus making the people miserable.
The governor of a county or county should provide food for the people and give them a rest. When the rich and powerful families are in trouble, they should deal with it carefully so as not to cause chaos in the county.
With this, the thieves and bandits will perish themselves. "——"Hanshu·Biography of Wife's Relatives"
