Chapter 166: The Rebels Raise

After the Dragon Flood of Dongting Lake, another plague broke out, and Chu was full of disasters.

At this time, corrupt officials, wealthy merchants and wealthy businesses took the opportunity to merge land at low prices. The uncontrollable public anger erupted with a shout in Xiling County, and millions of people rose up.

Zhonglong County.

A thin black man stood on a high place with a group of people, climbed the high place and shouted: "Today we will starve to death if we don't do anything. At worst, we will be beheaded."

"It's better to be beheaded than to starve to death."

"I fought with these corrupt officials, robbed them and distributed the money and food."

There were many responders below, and as several people incited, anger immediately filled everyone's head.

"Split money and grain! Split money and grain!"

The thin black man immediately roared, and the man below pushed a monocycle and distributed the weapons one by one. Many people who could not get the weapons took the people with hoes and sticks and got on.

In the dark night, thousands of people held torches and illuminated the earth.

Xidan County.

A scholar in a shabby robe tied up a local notorious squire and pushed down before a mansion.

Then the squire cut off the head of the squire. The cheers from the people below were shocked, and many people burst into tears. They rushed up to eat raw meat and drink blood.

The scholar raised his sword and roared: "The Great Zhou is about to perish."

"The old emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was debauchery and unjust, and now there is a demon queen who is in trouble with the palace, and the traitor in the court is in power."

"That's why the Dragon King was born, and this disaster caused to the sky, it was the heaven that would destroy the Great Zhou."

"Only by overthrowing the court can we live a good life in accordance with the will of heaven."

The villagers below did not know the truth? They were furious when they saw the true dragon and flooded thousands of miles. This must be the emperor and the court's debauchery, otherwise why did the dragon god do this?

In addition, the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and now there are major problems with land annexation and the old system. Most ordinary people have lost their land without any land. They are extremely dissatisfied with the court and agree with what the scholars said.

It was like an appointment overnight. People in each county carried out work. After careful preparation and planning, they incited refugees to win over bandits and even bribed officials.

Groups of people from all counties and places led their men and horses to kill the gentry and powerful people, then seized the county town, opened warehouses and released grain to recruit soldiers and horses.

Some of these people successfully occupied the county town, while others were suppressed.

However, the prairie fire had been ignited. After careful planning in various parts of Xiling County, rebels from all over the country immediately gathered towards Xiling County and County City, and attacked Xiling County City.

The speed of the rebels' spread and growth was somewhat beyond everyone's imagination, and their ability to move was completely beyond the expectations of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They took charge of the matter, occupied the land, opened warehouses and released grain to swept away the refugees, and then immediately gathered together to attack the county town.

When the county magistrate just received the news, tens of thousands of people gathered under the Xiling County City, cutting down trees in the woods outside the city, recruiting craftsmen to create siege tools to prepare to capture the city.

Xiling County City.

The whole city was scared to death by the news that the rebels arrived in the city. Even if they didn't know how many rebels were, as long as they climbed up to look outside the city, the dense heads and camps that could not see the end at first sight would be enough to make people feel scared.

"There are 70,000 or 80,000 rebels!" At the beginning, the rumors multiplied.

"More than 100,000 rebels are outside the city." The number of people who have passed again instantly increased again.

"Those people are said to eat human flesh and drink human blood. If they want to come in, we will all die." Various horror rumors were passed down in the market, and every household hurried home, with the doors closed.

"How can we keep so many people!"

Before the rebels began to attack the city, rumors were everywhere in the city. Not only the high-ranking families in the city began to prepare to escape, but even the officials in the city wanted to arrange their families to leave.

The county magistrate was already in a state of great anxiety, and at this moment he had to stand up again to appease the big families in the county town.

"I have sent 800 miles to report to the court, and the court will send reinforcements immediately. There are still thousands of county soldiers in my city, and the city is strong and the food is sufficient. It is like a daydream to attack the county town."

"So this time we defend the city, we must work together and help each other."

In the lobby, before the county magistrate finished speaking, someone rushed in outside.

He was covered in blood and was in a mess. With the help of two officers, he climbed up.

"Not good! Sir!"

"The Ximen School Camp roared, thousands of county soldiers rioted, and the county lieutenant had been killed."

"What?" The governor of Xiling County stood up suddenly, feeling a dizzy turn, and suddenly lay on the ground.

And no one of the officials and gentry present knew that the situation in the city was hopeless, so he ran home in horror and tried his best to escape from the north and east gates.

The county magistrate of Xiling County was killed, and thousands of county soldiers also joined the rebels. The city gate opened to welcome the rebels, and the west gate opened towards the rebels.

The rebels came in from the west, and groups of people fled to the city in the north and east, but at the same time, many gentry officials who had colluded with the rebels or were reluctant to leave the foundation in the city secretly stayed and surrendered to the rebels.

This time, not only were the counties below occupied by rebels, but even the entire Xiling County fell.

The rebels from all sides gathered in Xiling County and County, and there was another disturbance. They wanted to demand high positions and even compete for the position of the leader according to their respective contributions.

Finally, the rebels introduced the leader in Xiling County, the thin black man who had previously initiated a rebellion in Zhonglong County, named Sun Ming.

Not only was he the strongest one among them, but he was also the one who secretly bribed Xiling County and generals. After Xiling County was praised as the leader by all parties, he called himself the Ming King.

He also shouted a slogan: "Open the city gate and welcome the Ming King. If the Ming King comes, he will not pay food."

With this slogan, he began to attack the counties and counties in Chu, and Chu was completely in a state of decay.

Dazhou Kyoto.

When the news of the rebels of the Ming Dynasty reached the capital, several prime ministers in the court argued deeply about how to quell the rebellion and who should be sent to quell the rebellion?

It was just decided that the Huguang Governor Hong Shoucheng would lead a large army to quell the rebellion and wipe out the Ming King's rebels. At this time, news of more than 100,000 refugees rebelling in Xifeng County in the north were immediately passed over.

Xifeng County and Xiaxi County are located on the side of the capital. Once they grow stronger, they are likely to directly impact the capital and even endanger the capital.

There is no need for the rebels of the Ming King of Chu. Even if the big trouble is, it will be far away. Once this refugee becomes bigger, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be in crisis.

In a few days, not only Chu, Xifeng, Xiaxi County, and Dazhou, people rose up, and the powerful people from all over the country also had the intention of separatist and waiting for themselves. They ignored these refugee bandits and raised the bandits and respected themselves.

The rebels of the Ming King of Chu were like a flag, igniting the thoughts of those who were ready to move everywhere.

It is estimated that all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not expect that there were so many people in the world waiting to rebel, as if there were rebels everywhere overnight, and the entire dynasty was in a shaky state.
