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

Chapter 249 Chaos in Southern Hunan
Chenzhou, also known as Fucheng.

Located at the intersection of the Nanling Mountains and the Luoxiao Mountains, and the diversion zone of the Yangtze River and Pearl River systems, it is known as the South Gate of southern Hunan.

The land of Nine Immortals and Two Buddhas is Chenzhou.

That Mr. Putan, Zeng Jing and his disciple Zhang Xi, are currently leading more than 50 people in a ruined temple outside Yongxing County, where they gather like Liangshan heroes from the Chinese drama.

These people include both poor scholars and poor people.

It can be said that except for Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi who are famous in history books, they are just a bunch of rabble.

Zeng Jing was sitting in the main seat, looking at the dozens of people below who were either standing or sitting on the floor, all looking at her. No matter how she looked at it, she felt uncomfortable, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Gentlemen, hypocrisy is now commonplace. The remaining candle is in the middle, I, the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, obey the orders of Heaven, and I am indeed the Lord of the True Dragon."

"In the future, we will be able to wipe out the world and bring peace to the world. If we take advantage of the situation and raise an army now, we will be the loyal ministers and righteous men of King Qin. The Holy Emperor will not treat us badly!"

Seeing no reaction from everyone, Zhang Xi said: "If you rise up and be a Mingren, not only will you not impose excessive taxes, but the Ming Emperor will also reduce taxes, reduce taxes, and abolish corvee for us!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was finally excited and joyful.

Although these people were connected by Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi, just looking at the large number of poor scholars and poor people among them, you can know that in the final analysis, it is about taxation.

If Huguang is familiar with it, the world will be rich. This does not mean that Huguang is really rich.

Longkodo needed to train troops, forge armor, and provide food and grass from the north.

This burden is entirely on the people of the two lakes.

The people in the Lianghu area have long been complaining, so don't think it's outrageous. After all, the so-called wealthy Jiangnan area in the late Ming Dynasty was once invaded by Chongzhen's three major conquests, and the people's resentment boiled over, and it even inspired a scholar to rebel.

Now, Zhang Xi has said that as long as he rebels and becomes a wise man, he will not impose excessive taxes and can reduce taxes, reduce taxes and abolish corvee.

Where can I find such good days?

As for whether it was fake or not, how could Xiucai Gong and Juren Master lie to them?

"Be a wise man when you rise up, long live the Ming Emperor!"

"Long live Emperor Ming!"

"Long live Emperor Ming!"

"..."

A group of 50 people were shouting in the room in unison.

After several rounds of shouting, not only the morale of the crowd below was lifted, but Zeng Jing's mood was also lifted.

Raise your arms and call out, and call out a hundred...fifty responses.

This is how a real man should be born!
In this way, Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi took about fifty people and officially started the rebellion.

Originally, they wanted to make a blood alliance and cut off the cow's ears to drink the blood, but the cattle were not available.

Moreover, both Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi claim to be orthodox scholars, how could they do such a vulgar thing?
With just a few words and a few words, Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi started to revolt seven years earlier than history.

It was much better than the two people who were sold to Beijing by Yue Zhongqi in history, because they really gathered dozens of people to rebel against them.

There were a total of NO.50 people, and the best weapon was a hatchet. The rest of us had everything. Even Zeng Jing grabbed a kitchen knife as a token of his hand.

Just judging from the equipment and organization, they are simply a mob!

A group of people left the ruined temple where Yiyi gathered outside the city and ran straight to Yongxing County.

Before they reached the city gate, two gate soldiers discovered them.

But the two soldiers didn't think much about it. After all, these fifty or so people seemed to be running together, but Zeng Jing, Zhang Xi and other scholars were so well-dressed that they were incompatible with the salesmen and coolies.

Who would have thought that these two waves of people would mix together?And they still have to rebel.

Furthermore, the leader, Zeng Jing, is a county school teacher with a serious official status. She has long been accustomed to dressing like a county school teacher when she goes out on weekdays, and she has not even cut off her braids.

The county school teacher is also an official, so he is not something Qiu Ba, a mere janitor, can afford to offend.

The soldiers at the two city gates were about to let Zeng Jing pass, but Zeng Jing suddenly took out a kitchen knife, raised it and shouted: "Long live the Ming Dynasty! If you don't hurry up, we will be captured!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

Long live the Ming Dynasty?Ming dynasty?
Damn it, someone is rebelling!

"Someone made..."

The two of them came to their senses, but before they could shout out the word "rebel", dozens of people behind Zeng Jing swarmed up to them, carrying hatchets and sticks shoulder to shoulder.

Within a few moments, the two unlucky "gatekeepers" Qing Bing met the King of Hell.

The people who had been waiting in line to enter the city were all frightened and fled in all directions. Many of them rushed directly into the county seat.

It would be okay if these people just ran for their lives, but the key point is that while they were running, they were shouting: "Kill people, kill people! Emperor Ming's soldiers are coming!"

Everyone has a herd effect, especially when a dangerous situation occurs.

What, Emperor Ming’s soldiers are coming?

So what are you waiting for? Why not run away quickly.As for verifying the situation?It's already this time, who still has time to verify the authenticity? If I don't run away, I'm afraid my life will be lost.

As a result, Zeng Jing had just entered the city with the dozens of rabble under his command, and saw that the entire Yongxing County was inexplicably falling into chaos.

From time to time, one could hear "Run! The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are coming." "The Ming Emperor's soldiers are coming. Everyone, hurry up! If you leave too late, it will be too late."

Hearing this, even Zeng Jing was confused. Daming had already come to kill him?
When did it happen, how come I don't know?
Is it possible that the Jiujiang War has already decided the winner and Longko has been defeated?
Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi were still in a daze. At this time, a young scholar in the team with a blood-stained robe reminded him: "Sir, at this opportunity, we should capture the county government office as soon as possible and stabilize the situation first." .”

Zeng Jing came to her senses and said quickly: "Ah... yes, hurry up, follow me and capture the county government office first, and capture that dog official of Yongxing County Magistrate alive."

"Capture the dog magistrate alive!"

"Kill!"

"..."

A group of 50 rebels, armed with various weapons, rushed to the county government with shouts and screams. Not only did no one dare to stop them along the way, there were even many common people and ruffians who joined them.

By the time the rebels arrived at the county government office, their total strength had swelled to more than 200 people.

County government.

As soon as the third squad of government officers saw the rebels' overwhelming numbers, they immediately defected and became the leading party.

The Yongxing County Magistrate had no time to escape and was directly captured by the rebels.

This farce-like uprising in Yongxing County succeeded so easily.

In addition to the poor local government, Yulongkodo also forcibly reorganized the Lianghu Green Camp and organized and trained the new army.

The elites in the entire Lianghu area have been drained away, and the remaining county soldiers are not even better than the third squad of government officers.

In addition, Zeng Jing was still a county school teacher and had a good reputation. No one expected that such a person would actually come out to rebel.

And when they suddenly heard that the Ming army was coming, who would be so stupid as to run to resist?
Suppressing thieves is what the big men above should worry about, so what does it have to do with them?

Zeng Jing and Zhang Xi successfully captured the county government office, then opened the arsenal and took out soldiers and armor to equip the rebels.

Just as they were preparing to take advantage of this situation to fight, conflicts broke out within the rebel army.

In addition to the core 50 people, the rebel army composed of some poor people was still willing to obey orders. The remaining rebels received armor and quickly turned from rebels into rogues.

After all, Zeng Jing was just a teacher. He didn't know much about Taoism, that is, his thoughts were radical, but he didn't know anything about running an army.

These out-of-control and crazy rebels kill everyone they see.After seeing the blood, he immediately searched for the mansion in the county, then ran in, burned, killed and looted.

The entire Yongxing County was in complete chaos.

……

When Yongxing County in Chenzhou was in chaos, Xiangxi Qianzhou Hall, Baojing County, Fenghuangying and the adjacent areas (later Yongsui Hall).

This is the territory of Hunan Hongmiao.

Twenty years ago, the Hongmiao people in Hunan and the Yao people in Guangdong rebelled and were brutally suppressed by the Qing army. A large number of Hongmiao people were forced to repatriate.

Now, the news of Longkodo's defeat spread like wildfire throughout Huguang. This news was a rumor that spread before Longkodo's defeat.

But due to the remoteness, they are also unstable areas like western Hunan.

Moreover, Longkodo transferred the green camps from the two lakes to eliminate and train new ones. The whole Hunan seemed to be extremely empty.

Due to all these factors, Hunan Hongmiao rebelled.

First, it was the chieftain of Qianzhou Hall, and then Fenghuangying, Baojing County, etc., who had already converted their native land back to their hometowns, etc., it can be said that they all responded to the call.

Not only the Hongmiao people, but also the Yuanzhou Dong people, Baoqing Miao people, Yongzhou Yao people who also suffered from the government's high-pressure policies, and even the Dayue King's territory, the Guangdong Shaozhou Yao people, all rebelled.

Compared with Zeng Jing's rabble, these Miao, Yao, Dong, etc. are not only more organized, but also have stronger combat effectiveness.

When the news reached Changsha, the provincial capital, Wang Zhishu, the governor of Hunan, was horrified and hurriedly asked Wuchang for help.

The chain reaction caused by Longkodo's elimination of new players finally broke out, and as soon as it broke out, it was out of control.

Even Lin Jun of Guangdong and Guangxi was affected. Originally, he was in harmony with the local Yao people in Shaozhou.

Now, these Yao people have been revolted by the Yao people on the border of Hunan and Guangxi. They have also followed suit and attacked cities and plundered land everywhere.

To the north of Shaozhou, everything is in chaos.

This is the sequelae of the Qing Dynasty's forced military reform of the country. It would be fine if Longkodo could always win, but once he shows a slight weakness, the backlash will come in an instant.

During the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong, the entire southwestern Hunan and Guangxi could be described as endless rebellions by the minority people.

Speaking of which, this is also the reason why India in later generations was so stupid and made trouble every day.

Because they did not unify India by themselves, with many internal states, the Indian central government must always maintain military strength and high-pressure policies, otherwise local rebellions will occur.

　Chenzhou is Zhili Prefecture. I made a mistake earlier...
