Moreover, Münzer did not stop preaching his ideas. After he himself preached, his believers also began to preach, so his believers spread all over many towns. By 1524, the feudal lords and the church began to suppress the peasants.

Their slavery is even more brutal, because a large number of farmers have been massacred in recent years, so there are fewer people working, and the feudal lords and people in the church hope that they will continue to live a high-quality life of extravagance and debauchery.

It should not be affected. At this point, the civilians, whose population has been greatly reduced, are required to receive the same amount of food as last year. This is a disguised form of double the pain for these civilians.

The farmers dare not resist, because if they resist, they will be killed by the army. No one wants to die, but they will also die if they work in farming. So we can all imagine how desperate the farmers in Germany must be now!

This really means that the sky is not responding to the situation and the earth is not working properly. These farmers have no idea what to do.

And some farmers finally pinned their hopes on Münzer. They knew that they could no longer bear this despair. They would really die, because farmers starve to death every day. This is not God and them.

Just kidding, this kind of death is so real and terrifying, this is real inhuman slavery, they are too scared, but it is legal.

However, after some farmers found Müntzer, they told Müntzer their true thoughts. After a short period of thinking, Müntzer felt that these farmers actually needed a leader, so the farmers were already suffocating.

In such despair, they still pinned their last hope on Munzer, so Thomas Munzer began to lead them. This year, the farmers in southern Tuabia immediately rejected the enslavement of the nobles.

They gathered together and launched an extremely large-scale uprising! Because these farmers are not just a society now, they have many leaders and so on, and the current uprising is led by Munzer, and even more so by Munzer.

He has a very high prestige among farmers, and he is currently the only person willing to speak for their farmers. Therefore, all farmers love Münzer very much. Then it is not difficult to imagine that the scale of this large uprising is so charming.

Under the leadership of the organization, how big is the scale?

Under the leadership of Münzer, because the size of the rebel army was so large, the nobles and the church's army were unable to suppress it within a short period of time. This is definitely not a joke, this is true.

It is a truly right choice between life and death, and the morale of the peasant rebels is extremely high. They believe in Münzer, and they understand that Münzer is the only god in their minds at this time.

The rebel army rushed into the feudal lord's manor, occupied and destroyed the temples and castles, and forced the feudal lord to hand over food and land! The feudal lord and the people of the church did not dare to refuse? Because if they did not hand over, they would die immediately, even their own troops.

At that time, they had been killed by the rebels. Although their own army was well-equipped, the number of the rebels was too large, and they were all very disciplined and organized. This was an army with great morale!

At this point, the feudal lords and the people of the church had to hand over their land. They did not want to die, they were afraid of death.

Then the rebel army led by Münzer put forward their own program "Booklet" with the slogan of overthrowing the feudal system. The remaining nobles in Tuwaben are now extremely panicked about the peasant uprising, because they understand that this time

The rebel army is absolutely different from those in the past years. They will really be killed, so these nobles came up with a way to pretend to negotiate with the people, but secretly mobilized a larger army, and then intended to suppress it again

Rebel Army.

The very smart Müntzer soon knew that they had been fooled, so he immediately refused to negotiate! Now it was actually the nobles who made the matter bigger, and Müntzer was immediately angry to the limit, so Müntzer commanded

The rebel army directly captured the city. After a very large-scale war, the battlefield was full of corpses. At first, they were the corpses of very brave peasants. The nobles and church troops felt that the peasants were easy to kill because the peasants had very powerful weapons.

Backward! They are just hoes and the like, that is, their own farm tools.

But Munzer also commanded the rebel army and had already asked them to seize the enemy's weapons. Therefore, after a while, the situation on the battlefield changed greatly. The nobles and the church's army began to be unable to compete with the uprising.

Because the rebels had more and more weapons in their hands, and the rebels were still high-spirited and brave, in the end the army mobilized by the nobles and the church was defeated again, and it was no longer the rebels'

There were more corpses, and the more corpses were the corpses of nobles and church troops. In short, the whole scene was extremely bloody and almost like hell.

Moreover, Munzer also ordered the rebel army to kill the rich and help the poor. Therefore, the surrounding farmers knew about the uprising that took place here, and they came to seek refuge one after another. Some serfs also came to seek refuge one after another! Serfs are slaves! But the rebel army also

It’s not that they looked down on slaves, so what happened now? How should I say this? Suddenly the rebel army surged to more than 40,000 people, and basically most of them had regular weapons, so this is an army with very strong combat effectiveness.

Now that the army was powerful, how could it be like the small fights before? Therefore, the rebel army quickly swept through the Tuwaben area.

By March 1525, the rebel army had now become a very regular army, and they also had their own small leaders. So under the leadership of Münzer, the leaders of the rebel army gathered in Memmingen.

The "Twelve Articles" outline of the struggle of the rebel army was formulated. The outline stipulated that the land occupied by the peasants by the nobles should be recovered, the personal freedom of the serfs oppressed should be restored, land rent and labor should be restricted, etc. Part of this outline reflected the interests of the peasants.

Require.

Munzer came to Thuringia again and led an uprising in the city of Muirhausen. The rebels rushed into the courtyards of the nobles in one fell swoop, captured churches, cities, castles and monasteries, and burned the buildings of feudal lords.

The land and property of the nobles were divided, and the rule of the nobles in Muirhausen was overthrown. Of course, many of these nobles were killed by the peasants, but if you look at it according to my ideological point of view, these nobles should

It is not an exaggeration to be killed millions of times, but killing just once is a bit too hasty, and more nobles have escaped. This is certainly not the history I want to see.

But no matter how I think about this issue, or no matter how everyone thinks about this issue, Münzer immediately established a permanent parliament without lords, with common property and equality for everyone. At this time, Münzer

After being elected as the person with the highest authority, the city of Muirhausen has also become the center of the peasant uprising in central Germany. It is even more so at this time, because Münzer is the highest leader and advocates a society where everyone is equal! This

It’s very powerful, let’s take a look at it.

In this era, even in previous history, the concept of equality for all has never appeared, because it is like the essence of a democratic concept! In the past, no matter what class people were, although high-level officials might pretend to be democratic.

Concept, but the lower classes are still very clear. Nobles are nobles, subordinates are subordinates, untouchables are untouchables, superior leaders are leaders, and high-level people are high-level people. There is oppression at one level and the farmers are the ones who suffer the most in the end.

, or serfs at a lower level, so it is not difficult for us to see from here that even knights who serve people like lords will still be exploited by lords. In short, they will have many reasons, and

As long as the words or decisions made by the higher-ups are said, it is absolutely legal! On the contrary, anything said by the farmers or the decisions made are definitely problematic. The higher-ups will say what do the untouchables know, etc.

Etc. Anyway, this is the general situation, so we can say that this concept of equality for everyone was not fully implemented before, but now it is different. Münzer has realized this concept of equality for everyone.

Therefore, Münzer's personality charm greatly increased, and more people began to yearn for a world where everyone is equal. Therefore, countless knights also liked Münzer's world where everyone was equal, and were willing to live in such a world.

, this also joined the ranks of the rebels. It is not difficult to see from here that things really got serious this time, and then many cities suddenly fell to the rebels, because they also wanted everyone in their cities to

equality.

The speed of development of the rebel army simply frightened the churches and even the feudal lords in all German regions. The feudal lords and churches saw that the peasant rebel army was developing at such a rapid pace, so this time they finally knew they were afraid. They were extremely panicked.

They assembled a large number of troops, and under the leadership of Truhzes, they began to encircle and suppress the rebels. The cunning Truhzes knew that as long as he suppressed it, no matter how many civilians died, as long as he suppressed it, the church and the nobles would

He will be given a lot of gold and silver, so that he can live a life of luxury, lust and debauchery, so he really doesn't care how many people will die.

At this point, Truhzes saw that the rebel army was dispersed and its composition was extremely complex, so he attracted people who only wanted to use the rebel army to achieve his own interests and were not very firm about the uprising, and conducted fake negotiations in order to

To buy time, on the other hand, a large amount of force was organized to deal with the rebel army, which made the rebel army dispersed and the combat effectiveness of the rebel army was greatly weakened. At this time, Truhzes seized the opportunity to launch a sudden attack, using various strategies to defeat the enemy.
