After Chen Ping informed Heifu about the bandits' attack on Qiancheng and the rebellion in Di County, Heifu was a little surprised at first.
He didn't expect that after Qin Shihuang's oral announcement, there would really be iron-headed boys in the world who wanted to collide, and whether the Qin Dynasty's empire would be strong or not.
After "Bolangsha" and "Eastward Journey to Seek Immortality" became unrecognizable, another major change occurred in history: the one who fired the first shot against Qin was no longer Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, whom he had not yet found, but actually Tian Dan.
, the three brothers Tian Rong and Tian Heng!
Heifu was ignorant in his previous life. He had never heard of the names of the first two, but Tian Heng vaguely remembered that he was related to the "Five Hundred Heroes". I guess these three brothers were quite capable of winning the hearts of Qi people's warriors and light knights.
There is also a bit of the arrogance and backbone of the old aristocracy.
If you think about it carefully, Heifu can also understand the reason why the three brothers are eager to rebel. Otherwise, it is because his "relocation of land to local tyrants" in Jiaodong has touched the core interests of Zhutian.
Heifu knew that in the political changes in ancient China, the land issue always played a very important role.
Reforms that do not touch the land are just small changes, but once the land is touched, it will often trigger violent political turmoil.
For example, Shang Yang's reform started with land, but it also encountered a lot of opposition, and the car broke up after his death. Wu Qi suggested moving the Chu nobles to enrich the frontiers, but was directly killed by the angry nobles...
Even the First Emperor of Qin, when he had illusions about the nobles and scholars of the Six Kingdoms a few years ago, he also used a cautious and gentle approach, "making the head of Guizhou return to the field" and recognizing the land pattern of Guandong, hoping to appease the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
But I can’t calm down the “terrorists” like Zhang Liang who destroy families and provide relief...
After Taishan was enshrined and Yigufei was enshrined, the emperor's attitude towards people from Guandong was greatly reduced, and policies began to be tightened. In order to make room for Jiaodong's new policy, Heifu followed the trend and proposed the forced relocation of the fields, which was a good thing for Jiaodong and the world.
, but it adds fuel to the fire!
Think about it, you have lived in a mansion since you were a child, with countless servants, a high status, and even a mine at home. Suddenly one day, a Qin official came to your door and asked you to sell all your real estate within three days and move to another place.
The wealth of ten generations has been lost, and their status has plummeted. Everything has to start from scratch...
Who would be happy? Who could be willing?
The fields in Linzi, Jibei, and Langya saw what happened in Jiaodong, and of course they understood that Qin Shihuang's alignment with the Tian family nobles was no longer cutting leeks and grass, but uprooting them!
In later generations, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu issued an edict to measure the land in order to increase tax revenue. The so-called land measurement was to measure the land in order to limit the number of powerful people annexing land and enslaving the population. He killed some powerful people, so the surnames of the counties and counties were changed one after another.
There was a rebellion, but it was finally put down.
This is how to conquer the fields, let alone seizing land and relocating them. It is no longer enough to take your cake, but to directly steal the cake and then smear your face. For Zhutian who has been rooted in the seventy-two cities of Qidi for two hundred years, it is not as good as asking them.
There is no difference in life!
Fortunately, this is the Qin Dynasty, and fortunately the status of the nobles of the six countries is low, otherwise, maybe both the government and the public would have said "please kill the black man".
During this turmoil, the timid family could only go on the road dejectedly after complaining a few words, but the bloody people were already sharpening their swords and preparing to rebel.
Suddenly, an undercurrent surged, and the crisis in Qi's counties was several times more serious than in history!
At the same time, the bandits in the northeastern part of Jiaodong were blocked and were in a difficult situation. If they wanted to survive, they had to go ashore. Coupled with the catalyst of the rumor that "Qin Shihuang was dead", this fire started all at once...
After thinking about the cause and effect, Heifu looked at Chen Ping and asked:
"Do you think a single spark can start a prairie fire?"
Chen Ping shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't happen."
He analyzed: "Decades ago, when King Zhao of Qin was on the throne, the Qin State was strong and powerful. It took Ba and Shu in the south and cut off the sacred lands of Jingchu and Jingchu in the Three Jin Dynasties in the east. The princes were afraid and formed an alliance to weaken Qin. King Qi was the leader.
Even though the world is long, it does not care for the precious and fertile land, so that the people of the world unite and establish diplomatic relations and become one with each other. He also appointed the famous general Kuang Zhang as his general and Mengchang Jun to supervise the army.
The armies of Wei and Chu moved westward to force Qin, and hundreds of thousands of them knocked on the pass and attacked Qin. "
"Although after three years of exhausting efforts, they finally captured Hangu, the end of the powerful crossbow could not pierce Lu Jian, so they were defeated. Qin continued to take advantage of convenience, slaughtered the princes, and finally unified the world."
"Now that the Tian brothers have launched a rebellion in a hurry, there are only four thousand remnants of the Qi Dynasty. They are not as powerful as Wei Xuan and King Min. They are not as good as Meng Changzhi in making appointments with the world and recruiting talents. They are not as good as Meng Changzhi in how to march and use troops.
Kuang Zhang’s ingenuity can only show off the bravery of an ordinary man and incite young knights to cause chaos. Even if he succeeds by luck for a while, he will eventually be extinguished..."
Chen Ping analyzed this from the perspective of overall strength. In his opinion, when Qi was at its peak, he invited several countries to join forces to attack Qin, but they still failed, let alone using baht against yi today?
So far, the rebellion of the Tian brothers has swept through several counties on both sides of the Jishui River, and tens of thousands of people have been gathered to prepare for the attack on Linzi. It looks menacing, but compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Qin Dynasty could dispatch once the whole country was mobilized
,What kind of?
In the seven years since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Qin Dynasty has not released troops to the Nanshan Mountains. Wars have been taking place on the borders. The soldiers have also maintained their combat effectiveness and have strong logistics. It can be said that "good generals guard the key points with strong crossbows, and trustworthy ministers, elite soldiers, and Chen Libing are the best."
.
On the other hand, the Tian brothers' armed forces, although they concealed weapons and seized the arsenals of several counties, were evenly distributed into the hands of tens of thousands of people, and were still uneven. The training level of light knights in martial arts was also low. They were brave enough to hold a stab but timid in public combat.
, they would definitely be vulnerable to a single blow against the regular army of the Qin Dynasty that had combat effectiveness.
"You're right."
Hei Fu nodded, Chen Ping's analysis made sense. As long as the Qin Dynasty did not seek death like the Qin II regime in history, turning a blind eye to the "group of bandits" in Guandong, allowing them to gain power, and then hurriedly dispatching troops after all the counties were defeated.
The situation will not get out of hand. Time drags on for too long, and all the heroes follow suit and raise armies, and the world is completely corrupted.
He also believed that the Tian brothers' rebellion against Qin would not only fail to succeed, but might not even stir up waves. Without him, it would be easy for Qin Shihuang to still be alive and the world to be stable, to mobilize a large army and kill the first bird.
, before anyone in the old lands of the Six Kingdoms dared to follow suit, the Tian brothers were wiped out.
"Furthermore, failing to mobilize the masses, it is just a pure aristocratic restoration movement that has no head start..." Heifu thought to himself.
The name of this incident was to restore Qi, and the main force was nothing more than Zhutian and his followers, thousands of noble soldiers who were unwilling to submit to the Qin Dynasty and became pirates, and local martial arts warriors who were restrained by local laws and were frustrated.
.
For the vast territory of Qi and the head of Guizhou, although the taxes of the Qin Dynasty are several times heavier than those of Tian Qi, they are not at the point where they cannot survive. There is no reason to risk the Yi people and follow the rebellion. I will only remain neutral and wait and see what happens.
At most, he could help and shout a few words.
Of course, don't expect the government to rely on the head of Guizhou to quell the rebellion. It's impossible. In the eyes of the Qi people, at least the Linzi Qi people, the Qin people are not good people, and they are even aliens and invaders.
Finally, Chen Ping also cited the historical example of the Sanjian Rebellion after the unification of the Zhou Dynasty, and believed that the Qi Rebellion could not even reach one-tenth the scale of Wu Yi and would end in vain.
As for when to put it out, it depends on when the imperial court dispatches soldiers from neighboring counties to suppress it...
Heifu understood what Chen Ping meant.
"Transfer troops from neighboring counties? So you think Linzi County alone cannot solve this matter?"
Chen Ping smiled: "Your Majesty, please don't forget that the Linzi County garrison originally numbered ten thousand people. Last year, because a gold mine was discovered in Jiaodong and people needed to be protected, two thousand were transferred here. This year, your Majesty decided to take action against the pirates and transferred another one."
Thousands of people came to Jiaodong to guard the salt field, so only 7,000 Linzi garrison remained..."
"Seven thousand people can barely cover the Linzi city wall. As for the local recruits, they are all Qi people and are not worthy of trust. Instead, they have to allocate manpower to guard against them. You know, there are 70,000 households and 400,000 people in Linzi city, but
There are only forty Qin officials!"
Therefore, it would be very good for the Linzi County Governor and the County Lieutenant to be able to guard Linzi, but asking them to put down the rebellion on their own is really too high.
In fact, Chen Ping only thought that the matter was not big enough. If Linzi could handle the rebellion by himself, how could Jiaodong get a share of the pie?
"I believe it won't be long before the emperor will order Jiaodong to send troops."
Heifu nodded and asked Chen Ping: "Your Majesty is in Surabaya County now?"
Chen Ping replied: "It should be in Pengcheng, Surabaya County."
"That's still quite far."
Heifu calculated that it would take at least five days for the news to reach Pengcheng. It would be at least half a month before the court's orders could be returned to Jiaodong and the troops were sent to Linzi. During this period, there were too many things that could happen.
.
If Linzi fell, the chaos in Qi would last for a long time and even affect Jiaodong, which he did not want to see.
So Heifu wondered whether he should communicate with Linzi and Jiaodong first send some troops to help put down the rebellion.
According to the Qin system, the governors of each county were not allowed to send troops out of the country without the order of the court. If they wanted to send troops, they must be mobilized by the emperor's envoys holding tiger talismans.
There is a wrong golden tiger talisman in Jiaodong County. It is held in the hands of the county captain. It says: "Whenever an army is raised and more than 50 soldiers are used, they must know the king's talisman and dare to do it." The two halves must be verified to be authentic before it can take effect. Otherwise,
It's illegal.
However, Qin's laws are not so rigid. After the tiger talisman, there is a line: "The beacon fire incident, although there is no meeting talisman, will be carried out..." This means that when the beacon fire is lit and the local rebellion occurs, although there is no emperor's order, the local army will
You can also go out.
Of course, the premise is that Linzi takes the initiative to ask for help, then the responsibility lies with Linzi and not Jiaodong, and it can be reported to the court afterwards.
"Let the envoy take my handwritten letter and go to Linzi to discuss the matter. Then let the soldiers gather the three thousand soldiers borrowed from Linzi. When Linzi sends a letter to ask for help, they will be the vanguard... In addition, let the commander of Ren be informed.
Lieutenant, send a boatman to retrieve the bandits’ lair on the island!”
Now that the pirates are ashore, they can never go to sea again!
After Heifu issued a series of orders, Chen Ping still hesitated to speak. After a while, he said:
"Ping is worried..."
Chen Ping said with a smile: "The authorities confuse the onlookers, the county guards see the situation clearly, but the chief officials of Linzi County may not be able to understand it!"
…
Chen Ping's guess was accurate. Not all smart people in this world came. A few days later, new news came. When Hei Fu sent someone to Linzi to ask if Jiaodong would send troops to help suppress the rebellion, he was met with a cold face.
The official sent by Heifu reported: "The governor of Linzi County not only rejected the county prince's good intentions, but even made rude remarks, thinking that Jiaodong let thousands of pirates escape and failed to notify Linzi in time, which led to the fall of several counties..."
Chen Ping burst out laughing when he heard this: "The governor of Linzi County was so ill that he sought medical treatment in a hurry. In order to get rid of the crime of dereliction of duty and loss of land, he just took advantage of it."
Not only did he regard Jiaodong's good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, but the Linzi County Governor also reported to Qin Shihuang that as long as Jiaodong returned the three thousand soldiers he had borrowed to Linzi and put them under the command of the Linzi County Lieutenant, he could quickly put down this group of thieves without the need for neighboring counties.
Intervene...
He also boasted shamelessly, saying, "There are only bandits in Linzi, how can there be any rebellion!"
After the official finished narrating, Chen Ping looked at Hei Fu, and saw that Hei Fu, who always pretended to be a civilized person, couldn't help but cursed and cursed something that Chen Ping couldn't understand at all...
