Chapter 666 Someone finally rebelled!
Guangling County is on the edge of the Yangtze River. Crossing the Yangtze River to the south is equivalent to setting foot on the land of Yangzhou, and has nothing to do with Xuzhou ever since.

This is also the thinking of many members of the Xuzhou wealthy family.

But when these members of the wealthy family who planned to leave went south and arrived in Guangling County, they were afraid when they saw the surging river and the misty Jiangnan land on the opposite side.

Although there is no way out, they have been unable to make up their minds to really set foot on the [wild, humid and sweltering] Jiangnan land.

The prejudices of the Central Plains scholars towards Jiangnan are really not the slightest bit. Although they are really in trouble, there are always some people who feel that the chances of staying in Jiangbei and Liu Bei's line are greater than the chances of going to Jiangnan to survive.

Among other things, the scholars in the Central Plains have heard that the miasma in the south of the Yangtze River is very terrible, and it can always kill people. If you accidentally encounter the miasma, you will basically be close to death.

Those who fight against Liu Bei will not be close to death, right?

Many families who decided to escape stopped on the banks of the Yangtze River, and there was a dispute between the southward faction and the stay faction. Some families were really stranded in the south of Guangling County because of this. .

Until Liu Bei's slave restriction order really came, there were still some families who hadn't decided whether to go south.

The controversy of this group of people also affected some wealthy families in Guangling County, which caused a considerable number of local wealthy families in Guangling County to get together and struggle, thinking about whether it is better to go south or stay.

What if there is a turning point for all this?

It wasn't until the slavery ban was officially promulgated that they were dumbfounded - there was no turning point.

The slave restriction order was promulgated, and the officials of Guangling County began to take action against the local families for the sake of political achievements and official positions. Except for the families that did have some connections, many small and medium families became the targets of the government.

They also want merit. Some families with connections and backgrounds cannot be moved, but what is so terrible about those purely reckless families?

Although the county guards and county magistrates need to be gentle with the big families, they are pure power when facing these local rich families.

In some local governments, the operation is relatively soft, and the action is progressing relatively smoothly. We mostly focus on negotiation and focus on maintaining unity.

However, the operations of some local governments are more against the sky. They have already taught the redundant slaves, but they say that they don't have any, so they must be punished until their families are destroyed.

For example, Huang Yang, the county magistrate of Yuguo County, is a relatively greedy person. He used to do extortion against the major families in the county. It is very happy to be a blessing.

This time when Liu Bei's slave restriction order was issued, he rolled his eyes and saw an opportunity.

The slave restriction order was promulgated by Liu Bei, but he had the power to execute it. He had the final say on how to implement the slave restriction order.

So he found the heads of the major families and told them that there are some families that he can't move, but some families can. He won't say who it is, everyone knows it.

He only said one thing.

His enforcement of the slavery restriction depends on how much the major families benefit him.

Yuguo County should be said or not, it can be regarded as a place far away from the emperor. It is difficult for the Luoyang court to reach out, and the new county guard has not yet arrived. Even if he does, he will not be able to intervene for a while , so he has the final say on how the slavery restriction order will be enforced.

There are many benefits, so I just turn a blind eye and close one eye, hello, hello, hello, everyone, let's continue to live a comfortable life.

But if the benefits are less, then don't blame me for being unselfish, find out the bastard who is against the general, and bring him to justice.

He almost made it clear.

Give benefits, or I will target you!

The small and medium landlord families in Yuguo County have been bullied by Huang Yang for many years, and there is nothing they can do about it. Of course, they don’t want to be targeted by the slavery restriction order, so some families compromised and gave Huang Yang a lot of benefits in exchange for his asylum.

They will be able to survive the execution of the slavery ban.

But there are also some families who have a bad temper. They have been unhappy with Huang Yang for a long time, and think that it is better to be bullied by the general of the Luoyang court than to be bullied by Huang Yang. Anyway, their rank is higher.

People just want extra slaves, and you will increase the price when you come to you. Ask us for money, if you want money now, will you not pay for your life in the future?

They ignored Huang Yang's threats, preferring to hand over the extra slaves in the family, rather than being blackmailed by Huang Yang.

But they underestimated Huang Yang's greed and shamelessness too much.

Do you think it's enough for you to follow orders?
Do you know that there are policies and countermeasures?

Whether the number of slaves is correct is Liu Bei's final say?

In Yuguo County, I have the final say!
Huang Yang began to take various measures to target the two families he regarded as thorns - the Zheng family and the Lian family. He was going to make an example to other families and let other families see what would happen if they opposed him.

So after the two families strictly followed Liu Bei's request to leave only three slaves per person, Huang Yang insisted that the two families concealed the slaves.

Then they sent people to arrest the slaves they concealed, and arrested all the members of the two families, and punished them with the felony of deceiving the government.

The Zheng family was more unlucky and was wiped out in one sweep, while the Lian family was relatively new. Seeing the situation at this point, how can it be impossible to see that this is Huang Yang's deliberate targeting?
So the Lian family decided not to do one thing, but to go against his mother.

The whole clan armed themselves, using agricultural tools, sticks, and sharpened bamboo as weapons, defeated the armed men sent by Huang Yang, seized their weapons, and then counterattacked the county government.

Huang Yang realized that the situation was critical after being killed by the Lian family. He asked Lian family to admit his mistakes immediately, so that he could let the past go.

But the Lian family was determined to rebel, and they didn't care about it. They killed every official in the county government, arrested Huang Yang, hung him on the head of Yuguo County, and cut him several times. He was bled to death.

Huang Yang died as a matter of course.

Afterwards, the Lian family opened warehouses to release grain, and used the wealth accumulated by Huang Yang to recruit soldiers and horses. They recruited familiar families to help rebel, and simply announced an uprising in Yuguo County, and pulled a team to kill officials who enforced the slavery ban. and Guanjun.

Within a few days, they arrived in Jiangdu County and killed the Jiangdu county magistrate who had just taken office, and then logically contacted a group of families who were stranded in Jiangdu County who had gone south and north and went north to argue endlessly. The two sides discussed for a while and reached a consensus.

If you go south to the south of the Yangtze River, you will be poisoned to death by the miasma, and if you stay there, you will be killed by the officials and the army. They are all dead anyway, why not give him a big fight?

It's better to take away those dog officials who have oppressed them for so many years to relieve the hatred in their hearts, isn't it?

In this way, even if the imperial army came and everyone was going to die, it would be considered a backstop, and it would not be a loss if they died, wouldn't they?

So after a meeting in Jiangdu, the number of rebels in Guangling County swelled. In less than half a month, the number of soldiers and horses exceeded [-]. After becoming an official of the order, he got the support of more families.

Then they pointed their troops at Guangling County. On the sixth day of February in the fourth year of Jian'an, they broke through Guangling County, killed all the officials that could be found in the city, and called on the families who were victims of the slavery restriction to stand up and unite to protect their lives. homes and interests.

As a result, more families began to respond to the rebels. By February 1, the number of rebels exceeded [-], and the control area had spread to the entire southern part of Guangling County.

At this time, Dong Zhuo finally knew that there was a large-scale rebellion in Guangling County. The rebels rebelled against the slavery restriction, killed many officials, and raised the anti-flag. It was an extremely bad political event.

When Dong Zhuo learned of this, his first reaction was not panic, but...

ecstasy.

The rebellion event he dreamed of finally appeared.

His long-awaited rebellion event was finally done!
finally!finally!finally!

Finally someone rebelled!
Dong Zhuo managed to suppress his ecstasy, and while sending people to Luoyang to report the news, he was not in a hurry to mobilize troops to the south to suppress the rebellion.
