Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Since that's the case, why didn't you remind them?" Jun Bao asked suspiciously.

"Because it's useless to remind." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Since ancient times, there have been numerous peasant uprisings. The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings in the late Qin Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Han Dynasty, the Wagang Uprising in the Sui Dynasty, the Huangchao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty's uprising The Fangla Uprising, the Red Scarf Army Uprising in the Yuan Dynasty...but only Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took power and unified the country, do you know why?"

Jun Bao and everyone shook their heads.

"Because it is one thing to rebel and establish a political power." Xiang Nan explained, "These rebels attacked the county town, opened warehouses to release grain, and punished corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, which seemed to be very satisfying.

But they only destroy, not build. The grain in the warehouse can only be placed once, who will be responsible for collecting the grain in the future? The money in the treasury can only be robbed once, and who will be responsible for collecting taxes in the future. Officials are all killed, who is in charge of governing the place?

The old order is destroyed, and the new order is not rebuilt, and society will be in chaos. Farmers cannot farm, merchants cannot do business, scholars cannot take imperial examinations... how can it be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous age.

Therefore, these rebels are destined to be trees without roots and water without a source. They can only run around, and finally they are blocked layer by layer, and finally fail. "

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized.

They really hadn't thought about this truth before. After listening to Xiang Nan, they immediately understood.

"Then tell them the truth, let them learn how to govern, wouldn't it be good?" Jun Bao said again.

"Government is much more difficult than destruction. It only takes one knife to kill a person, but it is extremely difficult to save a person." Xiang Nan sighed, "What's more, most of the rebels are poor people with no knowledge and experience. , have no heart, let them govern the people, it is even more difficult."

Hearing what he said, everyone nodded.

It is indeed not easy to govern the people and guard one side. Otherwise, there would not be so many people rebelling.

"According to my estimation, the imperial army will arrive soon. Take a look around and advise the nearby villagers to avoid it as soon as possible, so as not to be poisoned." Xiang Nan said again.

Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate. When the soldiers arrived, the people suffered even more. Either the last morsel of food was robbed, or the last copper coin was robbed, or even the head was taken off, and they pretended to be rebels to receive the reward.

Deng Chang and others took orders immediately.

...

In the next few days, the imperial court really mobilized troops and horses to quell the rebellion.

The armies from Gyeonggi, Sichuan-Shaanxi, Qilu, Huguang, Jianghuai and other places were mobilized together to fight the rebellion in Heluo.

In this way, an encirclement circle was formed, enclosing the rebels in the Heluo area.

Although the rebels were still struggling, they continued to conquer the prefectures and counties, but they still couldn't escape the encirclement. The final fate has long been doomed, it is nothing more than how long to struggle.

Xiang Nan had expected it a long time ago, so it was not surprising.

On the contrary, Jun Bao, Deng Chang and the others couldn't help admiring him when they saw that he predicted things like a god and the development of the situation was within his expectation.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Jin provoked a civil uprising because of excessive taxation, so Emperor Zhengde specially ordered Jin Yiwei to issue an order to tie him back to Beijing.

But Liu Jin had rebelled a long time ago, so he naturally refused to let go, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to chop and kill the Jinyiwei who came to announce the decree. Immediately, he also raised the banner of rebellion, led his army into Luoyang City, and officially ascended the throne the next day, calling himself Dingyang Emperor.

He also named his younger sister Princess Zhaoyang, and several Dao Commanders were either Hussar Generals, Chariot Generals, Fuguo Generals, or Fubo Generals... In short, all of them were rewarded, and they all became high officials, so to speak. It is [one person attains the Tao, chicken and dog ascend to heaven].

When Xiang Nan heard about this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Liu Jin is a eunuch, he is a bastard, but he still calls himself the Great Emperor of Dingyang, what a joke.

However, Luoyang City also has a population of 200,000 at this time, and after it is occupied by him, it will definitely be poisoned by him. After all, he became emperor not for the people of Li, but for his own enjoyment.

In order to maintain his luxury, he will definitely redouble his search for the common people. As for the life and death of the common people, he naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

Sure enough, after Liu Jin came to the throne, he ransacked the whole city, searched for food, livestock, gold, silver and jewelry, and young girls, and filled the harem. Although he is a eunuch, he also has hope. His younger sister, Princess Zhaoyang, also followed suit, searching for handsome men to act as face-to-face.

For a time, Luoyang City was in chaos, every family was crying and howling. Liu Jin, however, sings and sings every night, drinking wine and meat. He also knew that his life was not long, so he enjoyed himself a lot without thinking about the future.

...

Liu Jin raised the banner to rebel, attacked Luoyang, and proclaimed himself emperor.

Zhengde was a little shocked when he heard the news. Unexpectedly, Liu Daban, whom he had always trusted, actually had the intention of rebelling.

He originally thought that it was just slander from the officials. After Liu Jin returns to the capital, he will have a good talk with him.

If he pleaded guilty and apologized sincerely, he could still spare his life because of the fact that he had served him in the past without credit or hard work.

But unexpectedly, Liu Jin didn't even dare to go back to Beijing to see him, and actually raised the flag to rebel.

"Deeply disappointing me, deeply disappointing my hope~" Emperor Zhengde was furious and said, "Order the army to put down the rebellion immediately, and I will tear his body to pieces."

Jiao Fang, Li Dongyang, Cao Jian and others immediately bowed and agreed.

...

But the imperial army couldn't catch up for a while.

After all, all the rebels in the Heluo area at this moment, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands, occupied the prefecture and county. Even if it is the army of the imperial court, it is difficult to eradicate it quickly. Therefore, the people of Luoyang City have to suffer.

According to the news sent back by Taoist Ling, because Liu Jin controls all the money and food in the city, the price of rice in Luoyang is already skyrocketing, and the people are starving. Even bark, grass roots, mice, and bugs were eaten.

In addition, Liu Jin ordered the army to seal the gates of the city and prevent people from entering and leaving at will, so it was difficult for the people to escape from famine. So if you don't care about it, I'm afraid that in the near future, the tragedy of cannibalism will happen.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan brought Jun Bao over, "You and I go to the city, let's find a way to see if we can get rid of Liu Jin, so as to prevent the common people from being ruined again."

When Jun Bao heard this, he nodded immediately.

"Master, let's go too." Deng Chang said immediately after hearing this.

"Don't act rashly, stay on the mountain." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You don't need too many people to assassinate Liu Jin. If there are too many people, it will easily arouse alarm."

Although Deng Chang and others have good martial arts skills, they are still far behind them. Taking them into action is actually getting in the way. It would be more convenient for him and Jun Bao to act alone.

When Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others heard this, they had no choice but to stop.

Xiang Nan and Jun Bao then went down the mountain to Luoyang.

At this time, Liu Jin's soldiers who stayed at the foot of the mountain had already withdrawn. After all, beacon smoke is everywhere now, not only in Laojun Mountain, it is meaningless to guard or not to guard.

In addition, Liu Jin had rebelled and needed more guards, so he transferred the soldiers back.
