Chapter 1119 The quelled Wu Yue rebellion
Two years have passed quietly. For the people of the Han Dynasty, a truly peaceful and peaceful living environment has ushered in. For the Han Empire, this is a critical turning point.

Under the leadership of Emperor Liu, with the assistance of virtuous and capable ministers, and under the guidance of the spirit of Kaibao New Deal, the Han Dynasty also successfully transformed into a unified empire and consolidated its rule.

In the past two years, Dahan ushered in unprecedented development, and the north and the south joined hands to prosper.To sum it up, politics remains stable and the economy tends to prosper.

The unification of the world, especially the recovery of the southeast region, will add too much to the economy of the Han Dynasty.Only three years after the opening of the treasure, the grain transported from the Jianghuai River to Tokyo through the canal reached 350 million shi, accounting for half of the consumption of the imperial government and the people, and this proportion will increase year by year, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

As for other money and silk goods, a large number of them arrived in Kaifeng.When there are no national borders, no wars, and political oppression is relaxed, the economic vitality of the southeast region will be revived and it will directly usher in an outbreak.

The main goal of the Kaibao New Deal implemented by the imperial court is to reduce the burden on the people and recuperate. The main goal is to alleviate the social conflicts of the old era and establish a ruling order in the new era. Opportunity.

And until the fourth year of Kaibao, the results that can be seen are gratifying, and it proves that the policy and philosophy of Dahan are not wrong. As long as the established national policy is followed, Dahan will usher in a stable and prosperous era. Civilization will also achieve revival again, leaving behind a splendid and splendid history.

Of course, this does not mean that the big man has no problems. The overall situation is calm and stable on a macro level, but inside and out, up and down, there are still many twists and turns.

The development potential of the southeast region has yet to be tapped, and the law and order did not stabilize until three years after the treasure was opened.The rectification work led by Han Xizai was not smooth from the beginning to the end, with struggles and resistances one after another.

In the Liangjiang area, seventeen rebellions took place in the matter of Qianhao alone.When it was extended to the two Zhejiang provinces, the turmoil it caused was even greater. The territory chosen by "Bai" is always more difficult to digest. Emperor Liu also realized for the first time the power of local tyrants.

In the winter and October of the second year of Kaibao, due to the overly strong and eager rectification measures taken by the imperial court, the two Zhejiang universities rebelled and almost spread to the whole territory.Officials of the original Wuyue, army, tyrants, and wealthy businessmen teamed up to show off their muscles to the Han court. The people of Zhejiang were in chaos.

At the height of the rebellion, traces of rebel flag activities could be seen in almost every prefecture and county in the south of Hangzhou.That rebellion naturally aroused Emperor Liu's fury, and the reaction he gave was also very strong and decisive, let's talk about suppressing it.

Because of Wuyue's rebellion, a group of officials in the DPRK proposed to change the implementation of the New Deal in Wuyue, or delay it, to appease.All the officials who played this performance were either demoted or dismissed.For many years, Emperor Liu has not compromised, let alone this situation.Those who can't keep up with his thoughts are not worthy of being officials in the court.

Even though there were some things that were not done properly regarding Wu Yue's affairs, in conclusion and reflection, it was an afterthought, not a conservative compromise in order to calm the situation.

Following Emperor Liu's edict, the civil and military forces stationed in the southeast naturally worked together to fight the rebellion freely.No matter what the cause of the rebellion is, it is hard to shirk the blame for such a big disturbance under their supervision, so they all do their best to offset their guilt.

The commander in charge of countering the rebellion is Shi Shouxin, and the superintendent is Zhao Yanjin. These two are in charge of the military, so naturally there will be no surprises.Most of the troops used to counter the rebellion were local troops reorganized from the Wuyue people.Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the Forbidden Army stationed in the southeast is only stationed in major cities and important military locations, and plays a supporting role.It can be said that it was a rebellion and rebellion in which the Wuyue people killed each other.

Wu Yue's rebellion was quite loud, but after all, it was an act of rebellion in which vested interests fought on their own. Although they responded to each other, there was no unified command. The leader of the co-respect was Huaiyang King Qian who was enjoying his blessings in Kaifeng. Hongchu.

At that time, for Qian Hongchu, the news of Wuyue's rebellion was shocking enough, but what frightened him was that the rebels respected him as emperor and wanted to restore Wuyue Kingdom.

In this regard, Qian Hongchu did not hesitate at all, and entered the palace to plead guilty.Qian Hongchu's reaction was considered fast, because it didn't take long for a series of memorials against him to be submitted to Emperor Liu's case.That is to say, Emperor Liu was magnanimous enough, and knew that Qian Hongchu was innocent, so kind words of comfort to him made him feel at ease.

However, in the name of Qian Hongchu, he wrote a "Letter to the People of Wuyue" and distributed it to the two Zhejiang provinces to label those "rebels" as rebels and reduce the resistance of the people who did not know the truth.Naturally, there are uses. From this, Emperor Liu realized that the influence of the Qian family in the Liangzhe area was deeply rooted and could not be eliminated in a short period of time.

The rebellion didn't last long, only more than three months. A large number of rebels were quickly wiped out, and the time consumed was mainly concentrated in the process of advancing to the south of Zhejiang. The restrictions of the terrain were somewhat obvious.

However, in the first month of the third year of Kaibao, the rebels either died, surrendered, or fled, and the Wuyue rebellion was declared pacified.It didn't last long, but the damage to the Wuyue area was very serious. This was the biggest war that the Wuyue area has experienced after 70 years of Taiping Six.

The positive significance is not without it. At least through this rebellion, the court has softened its methods in the subsequent rectification of the southeast region, and improved some of the more taken-for-granted clauses in the New Deal.

At the same time, those people and forces who were dissatisfied with the court and refused to accept the rule of the great Han jumped out and were cleaned up one by one. On the contrary, the rule of the court was strengthened through this chaos, and the complete governance was achieved, but the price was a bit high.

In fact, regarding the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Emperor Liu thought that there would be a rebellion in the Liangjiang region that originally belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but he never thought that in the end, the flashpoint would be in Wuyue.

In contrast, the Liangjiang area could only be regarded as a riot. During the climax of the Wuyue rebellion, the Liangjiang area was very quiet, with almost no response.

In fact, in the winter of the first year of Kaibao, after Emperor Liu issued a warning edict to the officials in the southeast, in terms of rectification and implementation, both the working attitude and the working method were much softened.

And after Han Xizai entered the two Zhejiang provinces, he was also well-known for his actions, and most of his relocations started from those local tyrants and evil gentry with poor reputations, which can be regarded as fully considering the public opinion.However, even so, the intensity of the backlash surpassed that of Jiangnan and Jiangxi.

For many Wuyue tyrants, they really do not welcome the rule of the big man, they prefer the Qian family to be in power.

After great chaos, there must be great order. This is probably a sentence that can be used to comfort oneself.In fact, this is exactly the case. The original order was completely broken, and social resources and wealth were actually redistributed in this chaos.

As a result of this rebellion, as many as 130,000 Wuyue people died.More than 200,000 people were relocated afterwards.The quelling of the Wuyue rebellion also represented the end of the imperial court's rectification in the southeast.

After all, there was no smooth transition as Emperor Liu expected.It is also understandable that undertakings involving social change and benefit distribution must achieve results in a short period of time, and it is by no means as simple as treating guests to dinner.

Although the cost of a bloody storm was not small, it also cleared a lot of obstacles.Now, Emperor Liu can confidently say that the southeast region can be safe for a hundred years.

From the first year of Kaibao to the fourth year of Kaibao, in more than three years, the imperial court moved more than [-] people from Liangjiang and Liangzhe areas, and half of them fell into Jinghu Lake Road.

For the rest, [-] were digested in Guannei, [-] in Longyou, [-] in Shanyang, and the rest were scattered in the Central Plains and Hebei.After all the turmoil, the southeast region has gradually become a state of order that satisfies Emperor Liu and conforms to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

In March of the fourth year of Kaibao, Han Xizai's position as the southeast pacifier was officially revoked and he was called back to Tokyo.In the past few years in the southeast, he had been assassinated seven times. On the fourth occasion, he almost lost his life, which shows how much those whose interests have been violated hate him.

Similarly, in the court, the criticism never stopped. When he returned to Kaifeng, Han Xizai was exhausted physically and mentally, so he resigned directly to Emperor Liu.

Liu Chengyou disagreed, awarded Jixiandian University Bachelor, went to compile books, and lived a relaxed life.
