Liu BaDao, a big landowner in Shandong, rebelled. There was no other way, and Liu BaDao's family couldn't live any longer.?
It wasn't because the family ran out of food. This man's family was a long-term official and his life was very good. No matter how bad the world was, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing. But in the autumn and winter of the seventh year of Daye, everything in Shandong changed.
The failure of the grain harvest was no big deal to Liu Badao's family, but his neighbors, relatives and friends all came to his house to beg for food. Most of the adult men never returned and fled everywhere.
In addition, Liu Badao is not a fuel-efficient person, and he usually likes to make some unconventional friends.
By this winter, all these fair-weather friends came over. These guys were all on the run, and all of a sudden they were all on the run.
If Liu Badao had not resisted, he would have torn his family to pieces and swallowed them all while looking at his hungry neighbors with red eyes.
His usual friends all stared at him coldly.
Therefore, Liu Badao gritted his teeth and rebelled against his mother. He wanted to escape this disaster first.
Later, Liu Badao dispersed his family wealth and started an uprising in Pingyuan.
And his connections are not comparable to those of Wang Book. This is also the largest rebel army that made a big splash at the end of winter in the seventh year of Daye.
Sun Anzu, a native of Zhangnan, Qinghe, Shandong, rebelled. This was a real grassroots. The grassroots in Shandong had almost no way to survive in the winter of Daye Seven Years.
Sun Anzu's home was washed away by the flood, his wife starved to death at home, and the government forced him to do hard labor.
So the man was so angry that he assassinated the county magistrate, took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and went to hide in the home of his friend Dou Jiande.
Sun Anzu is nothing, but Dou Jiande is not an ordinary person. This man is a real reckless hero.
Dou Jiande was very famous in his hometown. In the autumn, he went to Hebei with the army as a soldier. He was in charge of more than 200 people. He wanted to seek fame. Later people said that he saw people dying of hunger along the way, so he returned halfway.
at home.
In fact, when this man arrived in Hebei, he unfortunately became one of the first batch of non-combat casualties of the Sui army, and was sent back to his hometown in Shandong in despair.
But when I returned to my hometown, I saw that my hometown had become a pagoda hell.
As soon as Sun Anzu arrived, he did not hesitate to help Sun Anzu turn into a bandit in Gaojibo. Soon after, Dou Jiande also joined.
This rebel army was inconspicuous at first, but later on, it became the most powerful among the anti-kings in the late Sui Dynasty, and was qualified to compete with other anti-kings for world supremacy.
Gao Shida from Xindu, Hebei Province also rebelled, and soon got together with Sun Anzu from Gaojibo.
Zhang Jin, a native of Qinghe, Shandong, said the opposite. This guy was a lunatic. Later, Shandong's population plummeted, and he also had a share of the credit.
The most noteworthy thing is that people from Henan also came to join in the fun. Zhai, the warden of Weicheng in the East County, rebelled and established the famous Wagang Army. Want to read the book?
He rebelled, and unlike the Shandong people and Hebei people who could not survive, he fled in fear of crime at first, and then naturally became the king of the mountain, but it just happened to be the time when the world was in chaos.
As a jailer, this man had inextricable connections with the underworld, and was quite similar to the later famous Song Jiang.
Therefore, Shan Xiongxin, the leader of the underworld, came to surrender first. The two of them had colluded before, and they often harassed and oppressed the neighbors.
According to later generations, Zhai Rang was Shan Xiongxin's protective umbrella. Once Zhai Rang escaped, Shan Xiongxin could no longer stay in his hometown, so he simply called for escape and defected to Zhai Rang.
Because the place chosen was good, it did not block the grain road from Henan to Hebei, and not many people gathered together. This group of typical grass bandits survived much better than the Shandong people.
Both of these people are local snakes, and when they lead people down the mountain to rob them, their choice of target is also very clear.
They are those families who have no foundation but are quite wealthy at home.
Therefore, when the army gathered in Hebei and was about to go north to conquer Goguryeo, no one had the time to kill this small group of flies.
This gave them great encouragement, and business became smoother.
Both of them are ruthless, but if they resist, they will kill everyone in their family, and their reputations for murder are getting louder and louder in the local area.
Unexpectedly, someone was scared.
The person who was afraid was a famous figure later, named Xu Shiji.
His family lived near Wagang Mountain. This man had been extremely smart since he was a child. He had heard a lot about the banditry in Wagang Mountain. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but be shocked.
His family agreed with the Wagang thieves' prerequisites. They had a lot of money, and they were outsiders with little foundation.
So, in shock, he succumbed to the thieves and went to Wagang to join the gang.
This person first tried to persuade Zhai Rang with ulterior motives, saying that you are surrounded by your neighbors, so how can you keep harming them? Besides, there are not many wealthy households around here, so you can't grab much wealth, so why not grab Song Dynasty? The Yuhe River, also known as the canal, between Zhengzhou and Zhengzhou has a lot of business and travel, and there will definitely be rich harvests.
Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin didn't think much about it. There were many fools fooled by smart people, and there was no shortage of them. After hearing Xu Shiji's words, they were both overjoyed.
As a result, the Wagang army started to fight for their lives from a small fight at the beginning.
Soon, Ambassador Zhang Xutuo, one of the famous generals in the late Sui Dynasty who was seeking to arrest the ambassador, came to visit him.
However, that happened eight years ago in Daye, so let’s not talk about him first.
At this time, Shandong was almost covered with flames, but the various rebel armies, although showing the momentum of a prairie fire, could only be said to be in the ascendant.
Because they lacked the most important condition, almost no officers and soldiers joined them. Among them, there were more refugees who were hungry and could not stand it anymore.
So no matter how many people there are, their strength is actually very weak at this time, and they need an opportunity to truly grow stronger.
The Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave them such a golden opportunity.
At this moment, none of the troops in Zhuo County, from Emperor Yang Guang to the generals of the Imperial Guard, paid much attention to the disasters that were coming one after another.
They are all thinking that after the army returns in triumph, won't these bandits be wiped out by the army's front?
Therefore, apart from ordering various places to suppress bandits on the spot, no more edicts were issued.
In fact, spring is coming at this time, and the day for the army to set off is getting closer and closer.
This is a real army of one million people. When this behemoth took shape, even if Emperor Yang Guang wanted to withdraw the imperial edict to conquer Liaodong, it was actually impossible.
To paraphrase a common saying, the wheel of history rolls forward along its established trajectory.
As an outsider, Li Po fluttered his wings a few times, but he didn't cause any storm. The Sui chariot didn't even sway.
Li Po, however, put himself under the wheel of the car. Whether he would be shattered to pieces or escape would all depend on his ability.
