Normal people often read about history. Many people will feel deeply hated by the feudal dynasty's cruel suppression of peasant uprisings.

But when Zhao Jiu traveled to this era, he changed a lot of views, combined with the news from the Konoha personnel under Chi Sutuan.

Zhao Jiu was surprised to find that Zhong Xiang, the so-called leader of the peasant army uprising, was actually a completely ambitious man. He under the banner of resisting the Jin Dynasty and then used religious association to control his subordinates.

Zhong Xiang took the lead in gathering people to revolt, fight against the robbery of defeated troops, destroying prefectures and counties, burning governments, killing corrupt officials, calling for the nobles and low-priced people, both rich and poor, and received responses from the people of the 19th Prefectures, including Ding, Li, Tan, Yue, Chen, and Hunan Province, today's Li County, Changsha, Yueyang, Yuanling, etc.

Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang collapsed in the Northern Song Dynasty and social chaos, a peasant uprising was launched in the Dongting Lake area, and he became the youngest among the leaders.

In the early stage of the uprising, he won the hearts of the people with the principle of "awaiting the high and low, equalizing the rich and poor" and gained more support from the people. During this period, their actions were relatively just and thought about the people.

However, history is always surprisingly similar. The same is true for the great sages of the Yellow Turban Army nearly a thousand years ago. For all the ages, two great men successfully established the imperial dynasty through peasant uprisings. The hardships in it are not enough for outsiders to do so.

The great wise and good teachers of the Han Dynasty were defeated.

Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty also failed.

Speaking of the origin of the "peasant uprising", it is very simple to say, that is, the words "bandits, bandits, and thieves" in traditional historical books have been translated by modern "historical materialism" experts and scholars, and they are all called peasant uprisings.

Zhao Jiu sneered at it, and in elegant words, he was not accomplices with the prince.

In history, whenever a dynasty ends, there are natural disasters, man-made disasters, social turmoil, and people's livelihoods withered, many people will go to the career of robbers and bandits.

Zhao Ji felt that if an empire is in a turbulent society and crimes are rampant, of course, the first thing to do is to accuse the emperors and ministers of their incompetence and corruption.

But there is no need to praise robbers and crimes in turn, because they themselves are part of the turmoil and sin of this society. Isn’t this the simplest truth?

Generally speaking, there are two types of "peasant uprisings" of a large scale: one is the type of charlatan. A certain charlatan pretends to be a god and deceives a group of people to worship, and his ambitions are expanding and he wants to be an emperor. There is nothing to say about this type of "peasant uprisings". Their tribes themselves are fooled and deceived, and are the tools and cannon fodder of ambitious people.

The "Yellow Turban Army" of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Fang La of the Northern Song Dynasty belonged to this category, while the Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao, who Yue Fei dealt with, was uprising with the witch sect, roughly also belonged to this category.

The other type is more complicated. It is indeed because the people cannot survive under natural disasters and man-made disasters, so they take risks and become a prairie fire.

How should we view it? On the one hand, Zhao Jiu certainly sympathized with their misfortune, but on the other hand, we should also see that after a person or a group of people has experienced a huge disaster and used all kinds of means of burning, killing, and looting to survive, they may not necessarily have any compassion for their own kind who are still suffering from disaster.

On the contrary, due to their extreme experiences, their morality and rationality may have already dropped below the lowest level of human beings!

In history, such a path that Huang Chao, Zhang Xianzhong, Yang Yao and others have taken.

Whether it is Zhong Xiangyang and Yang Yao who occupied several prefectures and counties, or the mountain king who only had one mountain, once he gained the power to seize life and death, his power and blessings may not be much less than that of the great ministers of the Song Dynasty. This is not a problem that can be solved by labeling class analysis.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, foreign enemies invaded and attacked and killed each other, and the country was in a difficult and difficult situation. In the context of the Chinese nation unanimously defending its country, and fighting against foreign enemies' aggression, Zhao Jiu absolutely did not allow accidents to happen, but could only be cruel and ruthless to kill all the source of turmoil.

After Liu Guangshi received the order, he went to find Li Gang, Lu Yihao and others to excitedly go.

Liu Guangshi recently found another road to get rich and promoted, and Zhao's old Zhao official family made three rules with Liu Guang.

The official limited quota for his troops was 25,000. No matter how many people he recruited, he would give him a real military salary of 25,000.

With a lot of room for operation, Liu Guangshi also found a way to get promoted and raise salaries.

Otherwise, with his personality of Liu Guangshi who did not see a rabbit or a hawk, how could he target Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao in the distance? It would be profitable.

Because Liu Guangshi sent the extra descendants of good families and bandits to Han Shizhong through operations, Zhang Jun and other generals from the Imperial Camp to supplement their troops, and then gained benefits and relationships from them.

For a time, the relationship between Liu Guangshi and the generals in the army eased a lot, and the generals who were short of soldiers on the front line also agreed with this approach. The Song Dynasty had been defeated for years and sent out hundreds of thousands of troops. If it was not supplemented, it would be impossible to defend it.

Zhao Jiu also knew Liu Guangshi's approach early on. If it were in peacetime, this approach would definitely be beheaded in the Song Dynasty. However, in the context of the national crisis and the fight against the Jin soldiers, Zhao Jiu turned a blind eye to the point of not seeing it.

Many civil servants jumped up and down and firmly opposed the matter. Although the husbands felt it was inappropriate, they still endured the disgust and suffered the bitter fruit.

It’s still up to the four core words to endure each other and serve the country!

The whole month of June was spent safely, and no news came from the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers won many large-scale victories in the north, and basically there were fewer wars in the north.

But local wars have not been extinguished, such as Shaanxi.

There are nine great passes in the world, and Shaanxi Province has three: Gushan Pass, Hangu Pass, and Yanling Pass.

These three gates are divided into three sides of the east, west and south of Sanmenxia, ​​and the north of which are the Yellow River, Jin, Shaanxi and Henan, and are governed by the boundary of Shaanxi Province.

It is located in the east of Wushan Pass and connects to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and to the west, and to Tongguan, Qinchuan blocks the important road of east-west transportation. It is a strategic location for military strategists since ancient times.

A strong figure from the Song Dynasty made great achievements here.

Wanyan Loushi, known as the God of War in the Great Jin Dynasty, once led troops from Puzhou and Jiezhou to attack Shanzhou. Since Shanzhou was just an isolated city, Wanyan Loushi did not take it seriously and came carelessly.

Unexpectedly, Li Yanxian was ambushed in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Jin soldiers were defeated. Wanyan Loushi was only spared under the cover of his personal generals.

Li Yanxian was therefore promoted to the right Wu Dafu, and was also appointed as the Ningzhou Observer, and was appointed as the Guozhou commander.

Wanyan Loushi escaped from Li Yanxian's sword. Although he was very angry, he praised Li Yanxian and sent an envoy to persuade Li Yanxian to surrender, promising him as the commander of the army and horse marshal in Henan.

Li Yanxian didn't think about it and ordered people to press down and bleed in the future, and directly gave Wanyan Loushi a warning.

Li Yanxian fought with the Jin army for more than 200 people, posing a great threat to the rear of the Jin army and effectively supported the anti-Jin struggle along the border.

Considering that Shanzhou is the junction of the three provinces of Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, facing Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west, it is a strategic location connecting the inner and Central Plains. After conquering Yan'an and Jinning, Wanyan Loushi decided to pull out the thorn in the side of Shaanxi with an overwhelming advantageous force.
