I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 202
Nangan, for a long time, did not only refer to southern Jiangxi.

It was originally established in the [-]th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, and its full name is "Governor of South Gansu, Tingshao and other places to supervise military affairs".

Based in Ganzhou, its jurisdiction includes Nan'an and Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Shaozhou and Nanxiong in Guangdong, Chenzhou in Huguang, and Tingzhou in Fujian.

It was not until the Kangxi period that the administrative division of the governor of Southern Jiangxi was officially revoked.

To this day, Nangan basically has the same meaning as Gannan.

Even Nan'an Prefecture was placed under Ganzhou, and Nangan became a veritable Nangan.

Nan'an Prefecture, Shangyou County.

In Liujia Village, a group of villagers from the Liu family gathered together.

"Boss Liu, what kind of extravagance is this stupid government doing again? They really don't intend to give us a way to survive!" The speaker's name is Li Gou, who is also a villager in Liujia Village.

After Li Gou finished speaking, another person echoed: "The government won't give us a way to survive. Instead of starving to death like this... Boss Liu, you and your brothers, let's rebel!"

"Yes! Boss Liu."

"If you rebel against your mother, you will get a scar as big as a bowl, but you will be a good man again in 20 years."

"..."

Everyone was talking, and the word rebellion seemed to be commonplace in their mouths.

The one they call Boss Liu is naturally Shun Liu Wu.He was named this because he was the fifth eldest child in his family.

According to normal historical logic, this guy is a little-known figure.If nothing else goes wrong, they will either starve to death or rebel, and then be exterminated by the Qing court at the speed of light.

It doesn't even deserve to appear in the history books. At most, it only leaves a few entries in the local county annals.

Such as "The people of Shangyou were in rebellion, the officers and soldiers were defeated, and more than a thousand people were beheaded." One of the more than a thousand people.

But now, as the Ming army marches into Jiangxi, the situation seems to be different.

Under the brutal levies imposed by the Nangan government, the people of the entire Nangan area have long been complaining.

The local officials of Southern Jiangxi, including Li Dengke, the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi, did not want to surrender simply and neatly. They all took a chance and wanted to see if they could negotiate terms with the Ming army.

This led to the fact that in addition to the senior officials of the government, even the lower-level officials and the Qing soldiers thought that the higher-ups were planning to defend Southern Jiangxi.

Liu Wu was silent for a moment, then suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to all the brothers for thinking so highly of me, naturally I, Liu Wu, cannot let down the trust of my brothers in vain."

"We have already paid taxes this year, so whatever extra money was levied previously is forgetful. It's only been a while now, but now we have to pay more taxes, and it's even more than the previous time."

"Even if you want to cut leeks, you have to wait until they have grown a crop before cutting them! The Tatar court just doesn't want to give us people a way to survive!"

"In that case, I, Liu Wu, am not waiting to die. I am here to make a blood alliance with my brothers today."

"We are rebelling! We are rebelling against this dog-Tatar court."

After saying that, the whole place was filled with joy. They gathered here today to rebel.When a decision was made at this moment, naturally no one spoke up to object.

After making the decision and drinking blood together, Liu Wu was no longer idle and immediately assigned tasks to everyone.

In the next few days, people continued to connect in the village, specifically selecting the poorest households in the village who could not afford the extra money, and preached to these people slogans such as "equal high and low, equal wealth and poverty".

It also stated that the army had assembled a hundred thousand troops in northern Jiangxi and would move south soon. The dog officer in southern Jiangxi had become a caged beast and his death was not far away.

This is half true and half false. Everyone knows that the rebel army is coming to Jiangxi.But it is unknown how many soldiers came, when they would go south, or even whether they would go south.

In short, it all depends on two words, deception.

Awesome deception.

Except for the village chief and his family, Liujia Village is relatively well-educated. Most of them are poor people who don't know a lot, but they will be confused if they are fooled.

Within five days, the county officials entered the village again and began to go door-to-door to force more people to be dispatched. All those who could not pay the money were forced to do hard labor.

"The government is not giving us a way to survive!" Liu Wu, who was always paying attention, came to the village with a hoe and shouted to the whole village.

"Who is shouting!" The officials heard this and shouted fiercely.After Li Gou heard this, he promptly echoed: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I have heard from the gentlemen from the north that the Ming Emperor's hundred thousand heavenly soldiers have gathered in the north. They will kill us in Shangyou County soon. Now the government is letting us go We are sending more troops just to make a profit and force us to death!"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers looked at each other in shock.

Not only the villagers, but also the officials were dubious.

Although the entire Southern Gan government and even Southern Gan, Commander-in-Chief Li Dengke, had decided to surrender.But just in case, the whole of Nangan basically tacitly agreed.

Not a word was mentioned about the following, and even the lower-level Qing soldiers had no idea what was going on in the north.

The officials immediately looked at each other.

If the rebels really gathered an army of [-] people in the north, they would be able to stop them in southern Jiangxi. Even if they went to the mountains to fight guerrillas, it would be difficult.

Moreover, even if they really went to fight guerrillas in the mountains, it would not be their turn to be subordinate officials!
Just as the official was in a daze, Liu Wu suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Kill these government lackeys!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The poor villagers who had been contacted in advance shouted and rushed forward in an instant, just one person and a hoe.

"Folks..."

The few unlucky officials who came to collect taxes didn't even have time to beg for mercy, and were shot on the spot.

There was no hesitation in the whole process. Anyway, if the officials were not killed, they would have to pay taxes.Taxes are definitely not available. If they are paid, they will starve to death. But if they are not paid, they will be forced to do hard labor.

Even if they do hard labor on weekdays, only a few can come back alive. Even if they come back, they will get seriously ill. It all depends on themselves to survive.

Several officials were killed by Liu Wu and the others, which completely pierced the window paper.

Yes, although Liu Wu and the others killed the official, the official died in their Liujia Village.

No matter what, the best outcome for the entire village is to work as hard labor, and whether they survive depends on luck.

Liu Wu obviously knew this, so he waited for the official to enter the village before taking action.

Liu Wu took advantage of the panic of the villagers and immediately encouraged all the villagers to join the gang.

There are no surprises. Liujiacun rebelled. If he doesn't rebel, will he still wait for death?

Liu Wu led the people of Liujia Village and quickly swept through several surrounding villages.

Even the nearby Dachang was captured by the rebels. The landlord there planned to report to the government, but was killed by Liu Wu on the spot.

Liu Wu, who had tasted the benefits of destroying the landlord's house, began to swell, and then he followed the old path of King Lin Jun of Dayue.

First, they put out the slogan "Equalize the rich and the poor, equalize the rich and the poor. Fight against the unjust and punish the Qing Dynasty." Then they continued to recruit farmers and common people, even those who were unwilling to rebel were forcibly coerced.

The rebel army soon grew to several thousand people, and then went straight to Shangyou County.

Shangyou County is just a small county, but it can have a ridiculous army.

As soon as they heard that there was a rebellion, tens of thousands of people gathered and went straight to the county seat.

The magistrate of Shangyou County came and rubbed oil on the soles of his feet on the spot, took his wife, children and property and ran away.

Defend the city, defend the shitty city, the whole of Nangan is almost gone, is there any use for him to defend the city?
The county magistrates all ran away, and the entire Shangyou County was naturally powerless to resist. Liu Wu and his rebel army invaded Shangyou County with almost no effort.

Then, the rebels completely lost control.

Thousands of rebels armed with hoes and farm tools burned, killed, and looted the county town. At first, they only looted wealthy households, but later they even spared ordinary people.

The entire Shangyou County was in complete chaos.
