Chapter 25 Foundation of the Theory of Rebellion

[25] Foundation of the theory of rebellion

Wei Guofu said, "Although I am a warrior, I also know that this year of drought and flood is as terrible as the chaos of soldiers and horses, and there will be thousands of people when I die. Even if a rich family with medium-sized wealth always hurts their vitality. I heard that the governor has found a Taoist priest and set up a legal altar in Jinan Prefecture. He is begging for rain, but I hope that these Taoist priests will be proficient in Taoism and wait for a heavy rain after summer. Otherwise, next year's Tian tax will have to be sent to the army to the countryside to recover. Damn it, there is no oil and water for this kind of bullshit. It's not a rotten debt... ”

Yao Fan was suddenly shocked at this time and understood what the drought was all about.

He thought sadly, "There are more than thousands of people who died this time! This is the beginning of Ding Wuqihuang!

This four-year drought in history has covered the whole province of North China! Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Zhili, Shandong, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui and northern Sichuan were all affected! Crops are extinct, the countryside is desolate, hungry, and the bones are full of wild! The number of hungry people has reached more than a million!"

Thinking of this, Yao Fan couldn't help trembling all over. This burly Shandong man was about to cry: "more than 10 million people! What is the concept of more than 10 million people? The total population of Britain, which completed the Industrial Revolution as early as 1840, was only 31 million in the 1870 census! There were only 36 million people in France in 1870! There were only 40 million people in Germany in 1870!

But because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was extinguished by the Qing government in 1864, the Qing government was also gradually equipped with a powerful weapon to suppress the peasant uprising - foreign guns in the military operation to eliminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! So in this unprecedented drought in North China, the hopeless farmers could only die silently, eating the grass roots and bark, then the children and dead bodies, and then starving to death in despair.

Yao Fan clearly remembers the history of various local chronicles: peasants in northern Jiangsu gathered like zombies, plundered people and ate, and many travelers reported missing...

Many farmers in Gansu are afraid of being eaten, so their families simply fall into the rock and go to the stream to commit suicide...

Henan farmers were described as 'no meat and no power to cut people', so the whole village quietly supported the corpse...

North Sichuan's father and son abandoned each other, brothers abandoned each other, and the husband and wife abandoned each other. After crying, they all perished on the way to escape...

When winter and spring comes in Shandong, no one enters the village. When you open the door, you will see the whole family quietly death. The whole village is like this...

There are people eating people everywhere in Shanxi in the hardest-hit area, and people who eat human flesh and sell human flesh are everywhere! There are people who eat dead human flesh! There are people who kill their wives and children! Jin merchants, who were licked by many people in later generations, guarded their houses and granaries with full armed Zhuang Ding. Although as long as they take out one-tenth of the silver winter melon hidden underground, they can buy rice to feed the whole Shanxi people, Jin Shang will not do the unprofitable thing. This ethnic group that can sell the Ming Dynasty for profit will never do such a stupid thing.

As for the iron-rod crops in all cities in the world, they have survived the four years of drought. During this period, the salary of one or two silver is considerable, and the salary of one or two meters of noodles has not decreased. At that time, the blind can see that there is no 5,000-year Chinese Taoism advocated by Manqing, leaving only a man-eating hell in the world!"

Yao Fan clenched his fist tightly and restrained the trembling on his body. His nails sank into the meat unconsciously. His chest fluctuated violently and he breathed desperately, but his mouth and nose were knotted by angry muscles. He asked himself, "What should I do!" Do you want to stand by? What can I do! What if something happens suddenly now?

"No! No, no! I can't watch these compatriots go on like this, and I can't watch them die in this suffocating darkness! Even if I have no foundation...

Although tens of millions of people have gone, this terrible disaster has led the way, but on the other hand, isn't this an opportunity?

As long as! ...As long as I can solve the food problem! One day, there is no need to worry about smashing this old world! At that time, who in the world can be sharp!

Yao Fan! You have to rebel quickly!"

After Nadingism, Yao Fan's hair was creepy to find that he had forced his original future plan to get rich and become a fortune to a dead end.

When Liu Ziming saw that everyone talked much about the unfortunate topic of drought at the banquet, he broke the silence and said academically, "There is no need to make a fus about talking about cannibalism. Cannibals have existed since ancient times, depending on who eats them? Who to eat?

At the time of the chaos, the Capricorn army did not bring military food, but only ate girls. Murong Xianbei captured Yecheng and robbed 50,000 girls. The army raped first and then cooked them. In winter, they ate them all, and the white bone skeletons outside the city were piled up like mountains.

In the chaos of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Jin soldiers went south to feed people, commonly known as 'two-legged sheep'. The old man's name is 'Rough fire', which can't be cooked through a small heat. The girl's name is 'don't envy sheep'. The meat is more delicious than mutton. Children are called 'and bone rotten'. If it is cooked a little, it will be crispy and can be eaten with bone and meat.

Yuan Jun entered China, and his eating methods are complicated. He eats raw and cooked, and eats them alive. His three recipes are not enough to be fully recorded. That Yuan people call human meat "want meat", that is, he wants to eat it again. It's very delicious.

After Liu Ziming finished his show, he thought he was knowledgeable, but he lost his appetite.

Sun Maowen put down his chopsticks heavily, frowned and scolded, "What do you think these things are doing! Besides, the Great Jin Kingdom is of the same origin as my Qing Dynasty, and the Yuan people are now also the noble status of the Eight Banners of Mongolia. Ziming, if you talk so taboo, if you fall into the ears of that group of people who are used to chewing their tongues, do you know that you will be involved sooner or later? Don't mention your words tonight!"

Liu Ziming was scOLDED by Sun Maowen and trembled all over. He also found that he had lost his words after drinking, so he hurriedly laughed and covered it up and said that he was drunk.

Wei Guofu drank the glass in front of him fiercely and frowned and said, "Drink!" That's disgusting! However, you scholars know a lot about these pickled birds!"

Yao Fan was extremely disgusted when he heard Liu Ziming's nonsense to show off his knowledge.

He forced himself to calm down and suggested, "Brother Sun, I think that if the court uses work as a recuperation, it can feed the hungry people and also repair the water conservancy road."

Sun Maowen sneered and said, "Brother, don't laugh. The chaos of hair and twisting bandits has just been flattened for more than ten years, but the court has not yet filled in the gap. How can there be any money to do for work. I heard that Lord Zuo went to Xinjiang this time, and the rebellious money was still cushioned by Hu Xueyan, the head of the Hui merchant. Nowadays, no matter what happens to you, you can't count on the court to take out the silver.

That's what Yao Fan wanted and immediately said, "I planned to build a village and build some warehouses in Qingdaokou in the past few years. Now it seems that this civil project has been done sooner or later, so it's better to do it now. In this way, I can also support some labor, so that they can have a mouthful of food and not starve to death. This also means that I have accumulated yin virtue and repaired the afterlife.

Sun Maowen took a look at Yao Fan in surprise and then smiled, "This is indeed a good thing to accumulate yin and virtue, but if you build roads and houses in the year of disaster, you can always live a few more poor people. Brother Yao, since you have this grand wish, you are also willing to help you. At that time, I will definitely go to the court for you and ask for the royal commendation.

Liu Ziming also smiled and said, "Brother Yao is kind-hearted. I would like to give you a toast."

Wei Guofu said with admiration, "Brother Yao, this is indeed a good deed deed, and I also give you a toast."

When he left the Shijia Hotel that night, Yao Fan was not feeling well and did not go to Chunmian Hall with everyone. Everyone thought he was going back to make out with the third sister and was teased.

Yao Fan got into He Shicheng's carriage and returned home, and the third sister had made the bed.

"Brother, are you drunk? I have cooked the sobering soup. You can drink some before you sleep.

Yao Fan sat by the bed and nodded and ordered He Shicheng, "Shicheng, go fring some water and I'll wash my feet."

The third sister brought the sobering soup and handed it over. Seeing Yao Fan's face, she asked carefully, "Brother Yao, what are you listening to when you were eating?"

Yao Fan raised his pale face and said to the third sister, "Don't worry, I just feel uncomfortable when I see that there are too many beggars in the city."

The third sister's eyes lit up and she thought, "Brother Yao is such a good person! How lucky I should be in my life to meet such a good man in the world!"

Although Yao Fan didn't want her to wash her feet, the third sister still insisted on staying by her. After Yao Fan finished washing, she took out the foot basin. After serving Yao Fan to bed again, the third sister went back to her room to sleep. These days, when Yao Fan was away, the third sister asked Luo Guanqun to set up a bed in the room next to Yao Fan. At night, she slept next to Yao Fan and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of serving Yao Fan at home. This was the responsibility of the rich man to be a close maid.

Yao Fan blew the oil lamp and lay on **. He should have been sleepy after drinking wine according to his constitution, but this time he couldn't sleep over and over again.

"How can I start a rebellion? The removal of the military part and rebellion have always been a sociological systematic project.

This proposition is too big, and Yao Fan can only analyze it from the structure of modern society:

"I remember that when I was studying sociology in college, the basic social composition of feudal society is four parts:

One is scattered villages in the countryside, which contains almost all the population of the agricultural society like the Qing Dynasty;

The second is the road connecting the village, which allows the village to enter the social system and play a role in it;

The third is the market for trading social products, which enables society to complement and coordinate;

The fourth is the town inhabited by merchants and city landlords and handicraftsmen, which is an important hub for ruling large areas.

How can I control these in my own hands?

Military, no doubt, only military. Commercial methods are too slow and time-consuming, and the government will not watch commercial capital erode his traditional social structure.

So, should I attack and take the state capital like the peasant army and control one side with the city? Or give up the city like Taizu and take the route of surrounding the city in the countryside, so as to establish a strong base?

The answer is almost yes. The main force of China's dynasty change has always been farmers!"
