At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 81, Incident in the Central Plains

Pavilion chiefs like Wu Jun were not an exception, but the pavilion chiefs with Chen County as the center and retired veterans of the rebel army as the core took up their posts quickly. Juntian spread quickly with the assistance of these rebel pavilion chiefs and li chiefs. With Wu Jun and other rebel pavilion leaders, the rebel forces quickly penetrated into the villages of Chen County, which not only accelerated the rebel army's acquisition of local supplies. Suppressed the power of local powerful people in Chen County

While equalizing land was slowly being rolled out, the cultural troupe was also touring the entire Chen County, explaining to all the people in Chen County the policy of "dividing a small portion into an equal share of land" and its benefits to them.

If the rebels don't control the propaganda position, they will be controlled by the powerful landlords. If they deceive the people and say that "dividing people into acres" is the tyranny of the rebels and raising taxes, Xu Fan will really be a different person inside and outside. Xu Fan will not give any These powerful ones have a little chance.

This policy is a tax reduction for ordinary people, but a tax increase for the rebels. As the victims, people like Jing Yi and Xiang Biao are going to curse. They originally supported the rebels because they wanted to restore the country so that they could once again live the same life as Chu. The kind of life in China where people are superior to others.

Now it's better, the people haven't lived the life of the masters, but the rebels want to charge them three times the tax, which is more cruel than the violent Qin. If they had known this, why would they support the rebels to drive away the Qin officials.

However, the rebel army was so powerful in Chen County that the powerful people in Chu only dared to complain secretly. Jing Yi sent private messages to Zhou Zhang complaining about his lack of loyalty. Xiang Biao even scolded Chen Xiao. What's the use of raising a son like you? You are in the rebel army. But he doesn't know how to fight for the interests of his family.

But soon the changes in the Central Plains gave powerful men like Jing Yi and Xiang Biao the confidence.

First, in early February of the 36th year of the First Emperor's reign, Tian Dan revolted in Qi and proclaimed himself king. Then, with the assistance of Tian Heng's Qi navy, Tian Dan conquered Linzi and shocked the world. Tian Dan's army quickly captured cities and territories throughout Qi, making a great comeback. A sense of unity.

Encouraged by Tian Dan, in mid-February, Wu Cheng and the rebel army led by Zhang Er broke through Suiyang, the seat of Dang County. Zhang Er once again offered his own strategy and found a famous clan relative in Wei to be king. This time Zhang Er persuaded Wu Cheng and found the most prestigious royal family member in Wei. Wei Jiu, the eldest son of Lord Xinling, proclaimed himself king in Suiyang.

After Wei Jiu became king, there was indeed a sensation throughout Wei. A large number of Wei's old nobles revolted and defected to Wei Jiu. Almost all the more than 20 counties in Dang County were conquered by the rebel army led by Wucheng. Only Daliang was still under the defense of the Qin army. Persevere hard.

The restoration of the clans of Wei and Qi gave great confidence to the powerful nobles of Chu, and also gave them new ideas. Xu Fan's family is not the only rebel army in the world now. You Xu Fan still dare to embezzle our interests, Qin Jia The rebels have occupied many cities in Sishui County. The worst we can do is find a Chu clan clan member to be the King of Chu to join us. By then, you, Xu Fan, a mud-legged person, will be nothing but a human being.

With this confidence, the powerful forces in Chu region united. Represented by Jing Yi and Xiang Biao, they came to Chen region to negotiate terms with Xu Fan.

The two went to their old friend Zhou Zhang and said, "Brother Wen, Bao Qin doesn't even dare to accept such a high land tax, how can you rebels do this!"

Xiang Biao even shouted: "I sent my own son to join your rebel army, and you treat me like this, an old brother." Zhou Zhang looked at these two angry old friends with a bitter face, and waited for them to vent their anger before saying : "Our rebel army also did this to deal with the violent Qin."

"The violent Qin invaded Chen County again. I don't need my little brother to tell you what happened to you. Ten years ago, Chen County experienced such a massacre. Thousands of years of family history disappeared. Now the two brothers are already the biggest brothers in Chen County. When the Qin army came in, the two brothers thought that the Qin army would let the Jing family and the Xiang family go."

The two fell silent. No one knew the cruelty of the Qin army better than them. Under the system of conferring military merit on land, soldiers who made meritorious service must be rewarded. The generals of the Qin army had to drive away thousands of people to satisfy their needs. The hero still killed the two families to satisfy the hero. With the experience last time, the two understood the Qin army's choice.

When Zhou Zhang saw the two men listening to the advice, he immediately pursued the victory and said, "It is precisely because we want to defend Chen County and protect everyone's family property that we have to equalize the land to the soldiers. However, after the equalization of the land, the income of our rebels has been greatly reduced, and miscellaneous taxes, corvee I have already said that it will be abolished. Now we can only increase the land tax. And although the 30% tax seems high, on average, it is still less than half of the tax set by Qin officials. This is very important to the people. It is said that taxes have been reduced, so that our rebel army can win the hearts and minds of the people to resist the violent Qin Dynasty."

The two looked at Zhou Zhang dissatisfied. You rebels won the hearts of the people and reduced the people's taxes, but they increased our taxes. There is no such reason in the world. They have been old friends for decades, especially when Zhou Zhang was imprisoned. At that time, it was Jing Yi who ensured that he could live freely. Now that Zhou Zhang is treating him like this, Jing Yi feels that his conscience is just feeding the dog.

Xiang Biao said: "Your rebel army is going to deal with the Qin army. We don't care about increasing the taxes on the people, but our taxes must be reduced."

Jing Yi also said: "We are the foundation of Chu State. Now that you have destroyed the foundation, how can the rebel army prosper? Xu Fan, who was born as a grassroots man, has short-sightedness. Look at how other rebel armies have prospered. Wei and Qi have recovered." The country is over, and now the whole territory is about to be recovered.”

"And what was Xu Fan doing during the three months he occupied the entire Chen County? He didn't do anything. He only cared about our little land. Such people can't achieve anything. We still have to carry the banner of reviving the Chu Kingdom. ." Jing Yi said earnestly.

"That Qin Jia did a good job. We found a member of the Chu clan to be the king of Chu. By combining the forces of both parties, Chu's territory north of the river will be revived. It will be easier for the rebels to deal with Qin once the rebel forces become stronger."

Zhou Zhang didn't know whether to be angry or amused. When his two old friends Qin came out to help the rebels, they were both afraid that Ying Zheng would not dare to resist the Qin army. Now that the rebels have grown stronger, they actually want to seize power. What exactly is going on? Who can't accomplish anything?

Zhou Zhang looked at his old friend angrily and said: "You are the short-sighted people. Now the rebel army is booming in the Guandong region, but how many Qin troops have we destroyed? Qin's millions of troops are still there. In this case, you For your own benefit, you actually want to instigate internal fighting among the rebels. You have forgotten the internal fighting in Chu. You watched helplessly as your allies in the Central Plains were wiped out by Ying Zheng, and finally faced Qin's million-strong army alone. This was less than 10 In a few years, you have completely forgotten all this."

Zhou Zhang's words made the two of them feel ashamed. They had really forgotten these things, but these were the deepest memories of the nobles of Chu. When Qin annexed Chu, they wanted to find allies, but the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan had perished. Qi and Despite the hatred of the Chu State, the King of Qi was still a coward and did not dare to offend the Qin State. They just watched the destruction of their country.
