Chapter 61: Zhumen wine and meat, dead bones on the road 2

There will be days of laughter, but there will be pain that comes with it, which is also essential. Just like the gorgeous fireworks rising into the sky, once they bloom and release all the firelight, they will fall into silence and finally go out. The fire will eventually go out, leaving only a handful of burnt black ashes.

Cao Muwen knew that the rebellion in southern Jiangxi began, which was a must for him as a brocade guard. Of course, when he met Wang Shouren the next morning, he remained ignorant. After Wang Shouren told him about this, he still pretended to be surprised and naturally twisted his face into a surprised shape to hide it from Wang Shouren and protect his identity.

After the festival, the people in Nanchang began to be busy. They should do business, do agriculture, and run boats. There seems to be no change, but there is an atmosphere of anxiety in the crowd. After all, there was a war not far from here, although it is remote there. Mountain, but this "disaster" is approaching the province, and it is impossible for the small people to be as stable as Mount Tai. The government wants to come forward with pension. Most of them say something deceptive, or advocate the power of the officials and soldiers. The rioters and riot politics are not worth mentioning. When the government said this, the people in the city did not see any real thieves breaking out of the door, and their hearts calmed down a little and continued to do what they should do.

Gong Chen really came to the gate of the governor's office a few days later, and it was fate that the soldier Cao Muwen met when he came to guard the gate. When Gong Chen came, Cao Muwen was waiting in the porter. Other sword and pen officials in the house are also responsible for the specific handover of the ultimatum, but Gong Chen, a seemingly beautiful little book office, asked Cao Muwen, a senior, to give advice. However, Gong Chen's people are smart and clear-sighted, and they learn very quickly. The copywriting that the book office should handle every day, and the official business he handled was easy to handle after only half a day of study. Cao Muwen was so surprised. The former man's ability has been honed for a long time, and Gong Chen seems to be so talented. A few days later, Gong Chen's processing speed was no less than that of his predecessor. Even Wang Shouren appreciates this book office. Praise many times.

It is said that Wang Shouren and many officials, large and small in Nanchang City, have not been idle these days. Naturally, they are not needed for the war, but the incident is close to its location, and it is necessary to assist in the killing and provide the supply of military equipment. But one thing puzzled Cao Muwen, and Wang Shouren's affairs did not seem to have increased much. Even he seems to be puzzled. Not only him, but also Zhang Han, the former general of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who returned to his hometown, went to the military department, hoping that his veteran who unloaded his armor and returned to the field (although he is not old) can fight again to fight for the country. But there is no reply from the top. A few days later, Zhang Han couldn't help going to the court again. The memorial was sent to the capital. If he came back again, it would take at least a month. Zhang Han had to wait quietly. He was also puzzled why the court was a little indifferent to the continuous rebellion in the south, but only ordered the local or nearby guards to carry out limited repression. What does the boss think? This is not what they can guess.

In addition, although Cao Muwen and Gong Chen are in the same place, the person sent by the Jinyi Guard Office handed over to them is not alone. Cao Muwen still doesn't know much about Gong Chen. Until now, he only knows that he is just a brocade guard and has a "very good" relationship with Yuan Pingzhang.

A few days ago, Cao Muwen received an order from his superiors, which was still the same. He just wanted him to continue to perform his duties, but he mentioned a few more words and told him that if Wang Shouren went out to lead the army to suppress bandits, he should also stay by his side. Cao Muwen thought that in this way, Gong Chen's famous book office should also be the same, and there is no military book office.

Not long after, Wang Yin actually sent a letter to Wang Shouren, which only said some local customs he experienced on his way back to his hometown and along the way. The theory of "heart learning" spread by Wang Shouren is popular all over the way. Local squires, ordinary people, and local officials and Confucian scholars all have learned. Every time Wang Yin goes to a place, he must visit the local people to practice "learning". No matter the people's officials and gentry, they will not avoid it. There were few letters, which was roughly the case, but Wang Shouren looked relieved after reading it, as if his efforts over the years had finally begun to bear fruition.

Wang Shouren, as the governor of southern Jiangxi, now only has the job of assisting in suppressing the bandits in the south, which is of great use. One day, Cao Muwen dared to ask Wang Shouren what he saw about this matter and why Wang Shouren had not received the order and ordered him to lead the army to suppress and take charge of military affairs. Wang Shouren has also thought about this matter many times. Seeing the successive military newspapers, he has now clarified the reason for this uprising. The reason is very simple, just four words can be explained, "*". This kind of thing is not uncommon. In all dynasties, there have been many peasant uprisings in some areas. However, not every "peasant uprising" can achieve the same thing as the Taizu emperor of this dynasty. Most of them failed in a few months, were eliminated, and swept into the dust of history by the rulers. Wang Shouren thought a lot about it. Looking at the reaction of the court this time, is it also regarded as a "rave" mob gathering?

In the south, especially in the southwest, because of the late development time, rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation, it has been difficult to manage in history. Because of the large number of people, it has also led to a relatively strong and brave folk customs. Unlike the people in coastal areas, these things are relatively tame, two rivers, two lakes, Sichuan and other areas. Due to the frequent small-scale peasant uprisings. A few years before Chi Zhongrong led the rebellion, there were many uprisings in Jiangxi and other places. Because of the frequent occurrence, whether the government has the idea of "not uncommon".

In the first few years of the pilgrimage, a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the north and Sichuan. Because of Liu Jin's unauthorized power, the politics of the imperial court was dark. The royal family's squandering expenses are increasingly increasing the burden of the peasant masses, and social contradictions are constantly intensifying. In the third year of Zhengde, an armed uprising of peasants broke out in Sichuan. In October of the fifth year of Zhengde after Liu Jin's ambush, a peasant uprising led by Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Hebei. It has developed to a large scale. At the same time, farmers all over Jiangxi have also revolted. The scale of the uprising shocked the world.

In the winter of the third year of Zhengde, Liu Lie, a native of Baoning, Sichuan, led the local people to revolt and attack the Hanzhong land in Shaanxi. The next year, Liu Lie was killed by soldiers in the battle. In December, Lan Tingrui, Yan Benshu and Liao Hui from Baoning continued to lead the peasant uprising. Lan Tingrui called himself the "King of Shuntian", Yan Benshu called himself the "King of Scratching the Land", and Liao Hui called himself the "King of Sweeping the Ground". Sichuan people joined the uprising army one after another, with a crowd of 100,000, 48 generals, and their power expanded to Shaanxi, Huguang and other places. Lan Tingrui and Liao Hui advocated building a base in Baoning, and Yan Benshu advocated taking Hanzhong as the base, and then taking Yunyang, from Jing and Xiangdong. Liao Hui led the army to conquer Tongjiang and killed Huang Zan. The Ming court sent Hong Zhong, the governor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, to join Lin Jun, the governor of Sichuan, to suppress the peasant army. After conquering the Tongjiang River, Liao Hui was captured in the battle to retreat to the Longtan River. Lan Tingrui and Yan Benshu transferred to Hanzhong and were forced back to Sichuan by the Shaanxi Ming army. At the beginning of the sixth year of Zhengde, the rebel army was besieged by the Ming army in Dongxiang, and Peng Shilin, a local traffic chief, wanted to break out from his camp. Peng Shilin and Hong Zhong made a plan to lure 28 leaders of the Lan and Yan Uprising Army to Peng Camp for a banquet. The ambush captured all the leaders of the uprising. The rebel army collapsed. Yuzhong, under the leadership of Liao Mazi, joined forces with Cao Fu and Fang Si's uprising army to continue fighting.

Cao Fu, a native of Jiangjin, Sichuan Province, and Fang Si, also revolted in the sixth month of Zhengde, besieging Jiangjin County and killing Wu Jing. Cao Fu was also known as the King of Shuntian. Lin Jun, the governor of Sichuan, led his troops to suppress it. Cao Fu was defeated and killed. The rest were led by Fang Si, Ren Huzi, Ma Liuer and others to Qijiang and entered Guizhou Sinan, Shiqian and other prefectures. Fang Si is called the "chief soldier", Ren Huzi is called the "royal history", and more than 30 other leaders are called "commentors". Soon, Fang Si's rebel army re-entered Sichuan from Guizhou. In August, the rebel army attacked Dongxiang, Yongcheng, and said that they would capture Jiangjin, Chongqing, Luzhou, Xuzhou and Chengdu. While strengthening military encirclement, the Ming army found the clan of the rebel army from Renshou County and went to the rebel army to persuade them to surrender. Fang Si and others killed the lobbyist and refused to surrender. The Ming army attacked the rebel army in six sentries. The battle was very fierce. The soldiers of the rebel army were surrounded by the Ming army. Many people jumped off the cliff and committed suicide and refused to surrender. Ren Huzi died in this battle, and Fang Si led more than 2,000 people to break through and enter Sinan, Guizhou. Soon after, he entered Sichuan from Guizhou and was defeated in May from Nanchuan to Qijiang. Fang Si was captured by the landlord.

At this time, the rebel forces of Liao Mazi, Yu Sifan, Neijiang Luo Songxiang and Chongqing Fanzao continued to develop, with a public number of 200,000. Gao Chongxi, the governor of Sichuan, ordered to recruit and empty the area of Linjiang City in Kaicheng for Liao Mazi's rebel army to live and cultivate, and did not be conscripted for three years. Soon after Liao Mazi stationed in Linjiang, he rebelled again. The Ming court deposed the governor Hong Zhong, arrested the governor Gao Chongxi and sent him to prison, and appointed Peng Ze as governor and Ma Hao as governor. Peng Ze and others led Miao soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebel army, and Liao Mazi was defeated and killed in Jianzhou. The rebel army promoted Yu Sijian as the leader to continue fighting, killed Mingdu and commanded Yao Zhen, turned to Bashan, and soon attacked from Bashan, defeated the Ming army in Shaanxi, entered Lueyang, attacked Guangyuan, Sichuan, was intercepted by the Ming army, and transferred to Xixiang. In 1513, he was surrounded by Peng Ze and Ma Haoming's army, and Yu Si was defeated and captured. Peng Ze and Ma Hao then led troops to suppress the Neijiang Luo Songxiang Department, and in the first month of the following year, they suppressed the Fan Zao Department of the Chongqing Uprising Army.

The peasant uprising in Sichuan lasted six years and transferred to three provinces, which had a huge impact on the northwest of Sichuan and Shu at that time. After several years of reply, it has not fully returned to the level at the beginning of this "rebellion".
