    The military farmland of the Ming Dynasty was originally state-owned, and Emperor Taizu had strict regulations during the Hongwu period. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty and had a rough life. His knowledge and experience determined that his thoughts on governing the country after he established himself in the country could not avoid the influence of small peasant ideas.  This kind of small peasant thought is very different from Lao Tzu's rule of inaction. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't not treat it, but he treated it too much.  He hopes that the officials and people under his Zhu family dynasty can live a simpler life, so that he does not have to think too much when governing the country and do not cause him too much trouble

    To be honest, it is a bit of a joke to govern a country with this kind of thinking. Zhu Yuanzhang is more suitable to be a village chief who catches a few couples of dogs and men soaking in pig cages when they are idle.

    The original intention of Juntuntian was for military households to farm. Whether it was raising troops in peacetime or providing food and grass for the army in war, the Ming army could be self-sufficient and calculated well. However, after more than a hundred years, Juntuntian gradually changed its flavor and became the capital of the capital.  The private property of the generals in the guard station, and military households have gradually become serfs of the generals. Military generals do not have as many channels for greedy money as civilian officials. In addition to privately deducting military pay, eating shortfalls, secretly trading with merchants and selling ordnance, the rest  The most reliable and stable source of wealth is generated by military villages.

    It can be said that military garrison is the lifeblood of generals.

    "Now, Eunuch Liu, who has lost his lifeblood, is mentally abnormal and wants to touch the lifeblood of the generals. This is too much!

    In the Qianhu Station, several drinking households were furious. Zhou Yang didn't need to incite them at all. Their eyes had turned red, their nostrils widened unconsciously, and they were breathing heavily.

    Zhou Yang curled his lips, and then said with a sad face: "Brothers, the imperial court has issued an order, and we must obey it. After all, we are all military generals who live on the emperor's salary. We should go back and clean up quickly, prepare the property account books, and wait.  Someone from above will take it over, and we will just receive the royal salary from now on"

    "Wine is a good thing, it makes people brave. What's more, the people here are not cowards, but fighting men who have been fighting to the death with the Tatars on the border all year round, licking the blood from their swords. These people dare to do anything after drinking.

    At this moment, everyone had drunk a lot of wine. A member of the household had the courage to sneer and said: "'Eating the King's Salary'? Mr. Zhou, when it comes to the salary of the imperial court, let's count on our fingers. The Ministry of War has not paid it for many years."  Are we paid? It¡¯s enough for the sergeants below to take care of them, but our salary comes entirely from the military camps. We now support ourselves, and I haven¡¯t seen the salary of our superiors for many years.¡±

    These words clearly sounded a bit treasonous. Zhou Yang lowered his head and played with the wine cup in silence. The other hundreds of households looked at each other, and then another hundred households gritted their teeth and echoed: "Qi Baihu said  You're right, we don't expect the imperial court to pay any military salary, but the imperial court can't take away the military farmland that we rely on for our lives. The imperial court doesn't intend to give us a way to survive. I really don't want to serve the damn Ming Dynasty.  It¡¯s time!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyelids jumped, these words became more and more heartbreaking. In the small secret room, everyone¡¯s heart suddenly beat very fast.

    After Baihu finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Yang: "Sir Zhou, please say something. If you think you should obey Liu Jin, that eggless eunuch, brothers will hand over the army to the army without saying a word. From now on, the whole family will be hungry."  We all accept death. If you have the same unspeakable thoughts as we do, brother, I will leave these more than 100 kilograms of meat to you!"

    After a long silence, several other households suddenly echoed in unison: "That's right, anyway, what we are eating is a decapitation meal with no tomorrow. Killing whoever rebels is ultimately a business of losing one's head. The court is unkind, so what are we talking about?"  Loyal and courageous? Sir, please say something!"

    "Yes! I can't survive anymore, so I'll just rebel against him!"

    "Standing in the way of my wealth is like killing my parents. I cannot afford to serve in this court!"

    Zhou Yang curled up his lips, the drink he bought today was worth it!

    Hundreds of households expressed their opinions in a flurry, and then everyone fell silent, staring at Zhou Yang's expression, waiting for Zhou Yang to speak.

    Zhou Yang did not express his position directly. He took a slow sip of wine and said calmly: "Brothers, you should know who I am and who else is in my Zhou family. Yes, the current Ningxia Capital Commander Zhou Ang  , is my brother. To tell you the truth, the order from Liu Jin, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, to inspect the military villages was delivered to the Ningxia Dusi half a month ago. My brother Zhou Ang was extremely angry"

    The faces of hundreds of households suddenly showed joy.

    Zhou Yang then sighed: "Liu Jin's edict was shocking. Now the military morale in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty is unstable because of his edict. It is said that thousands of households in Yansui have suppressed several mutinies by soldiers. Let me tell you something.  Regarding the matter, King Anhua of Gansu secretly sent a messenger to find my brother a few days ago and asked my brother to raise the banner of righteousness and rebel against the Ming Dynasty"

    Hundreds of households are increasinglyHappy, I thought that only a few of them dared to do such a big thing, but it turns out that the three sides are already in turmoil. If someone rises up and shouts at this time

    Everyone stared at Zhou Yang and asked eagerly: "How does Zhou Shuai reply to King Anhua?"

    Zhou Yang slowly looked around at everyone, and for a long time, he said word by word: "My brother agreed!"

    There was a long silence in the house

    A man named Wang stood up and asked while holding his breath: "So, Mr. Zhou, what do you mean"

    Zhou Yang smiled quietly: "My eldest brother is like my father. Of course I follow my brother. Not only do I need my brothers to fight tigers, but I also need my brothers to rebel."

    Wang Baihu said happily: "In that case, let's"

    Before he finished speaking, another member of the household slammed the table and shouted: "We are rebelling!"

    The room suddenly started to boil.

    "Yes! Anyway, there is no way to survive, so we simply rebelled!"

    "I will follow whoever gives me food and drink!"

    "Go to the capital! Let's see what the emperor's son looks like, and then cut Liu Jin's eggless eunuch into pieces with a thousand knives!"

    Zhou Yang¡¯s eyes also flashed with joy.

    It¡¯s done!

    Zhou Yang laughed loudly, stood up, and then his face suddenly became solemn and said: "Okay, from today on, we will be on the same boat. Let's talk about the ugly thing earlier. If anyone swings back and forth and does the immoral thing of cheating, Zhou Yang  I will never let him go!"

    "We are willing to follow you through fire and water!"

    "Okay! Let us also follow the example of King Yan and fight for peace! In the future, the great cause will be settled, and King Anhua will sit firmly in the Dragon Court. The first group of people who started the rebellion are at least the credit of the feudal lords and Dukes. This heaven-shattering  The glory and wealth are only waiting for you and my brother to reach out and take them!"

    Everyone looked at each other, then picked up their wine bowls and drank together.

    The rebellion started with this group of desperadoes.

    That night, a total of seven generals, headed by Zhou Yang, Deputy Qianhu, returned to the camp to incite the sergeants and lured three other hundred households into their tents. After being verbally tempted, the three hundred households refused to obey. The crowd gathered to kill them and surrounded them with soldiers.  In Qianhusuo, kill Qianhu Ouqi.

    As if they had an amazing tacit understanding with Zhou Yang, the day after Zhou Yang raised his troops, Zhu Zhixiu, the king of Anhua in Gansu Province, invited local officials to a banquet. During the dinner, Zhu Zhixiu made sarcastic remarks, and the officials suddenly changed their colors. Several of them stood up and violently quarreled with Zhu Zhixiu.  , Zhu Zhixiu was furious. The rebels who had been ambushing for a long time rushed into the banquet and killed the officials who were unwilling to obey one by one. At the same time, he announced the rise of troops and issued a revolt against the rebellion. In the notice, Liu Jin became the biggest influencer of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion.  The reason included dozens of serious crimes committed by Liu Jin, such as excessive taxation, exorbitant taxation that made the people miserable, and the indiscriminate killing of ministers by the ceremonial supervisor. Liu Jin was tyrannical and domineering, causing turmoil in the world. Therefore, King Anhua followed Taizu's "Huang Ming Zu Xun", "  If there are no honest ministers in the dynasty and there are traitors and traitors in the court, they will be punished with troops to clear the emperor's side."

    The king of Anhua, Zhu Chixiu, was the person who "cleared the emperor".

    Like all the reasons for rebellion in history, this rebellion was called a "battle on the side of the Qing emperor" by the rebels, but Zhu Zhixiu himself called it the "second peace crisis", which shows how ambitious he was.

    After killing all the officials who refused to obey, the three royal guards quickly occupied Anhua City and marched south, aiming directly at Lingzhou and Qingyang.

    If the lack of troops of the three guards was a serious problem, the Ningxia Dusi commander Zhou Ang colluded with several guards commanders under his command to raise troops to join forces, which undoubtedly added fuel to the rebellion.

    On the third day after Zhu Chixiu raised his army, the news had not yet reached Ningxia. Zhou Ang, the commander of the Ningxia capital, gathered his soldiers to launch a sudden attack. After a short period of incitement and mobilization, the court's frontier troops instantly became rebels.

    Zhou Ang led his army straight to Qingyang Mansion, killing Jiang Han, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, Li Zeng, the eunuch who was guarding the city, and An Weixue, the governor of Ningxia. Even Zhou Dong, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was demoted to Ningxia to patrol border affairs, was killed for no reason.  He suffered a military disaster and was killed among the rebels.

    A sudden rebellion broke out, and Qingyang soon fell into the hands of Zhou Ang and other rebel generals. Zhou Ang and Zhu Zhixiu then joined forces and captured Lingzhou and Guyuan. After the combined forces of the rebels, the total number was 80,000.  Under the leadership of Zhu Zhixiu and Zhou Ang, thousands of people swept across Shaanxi, Gansu and Suizhou. They released prisoners, burned palaces, robbed treasuries, and seized river boats. The vassal kings in Gansu and Ningxia were so happy to meet such a person like Zhu Zhixiu.  As a good brother of the clan, the rebels invaded the palaces of the kings everywhere and only robbed their wealth but not their lives. The kings did not dare to resist and consciously opened their treasuries to allow the rebels to take what they wanted. A story of "brothers, friends and brothers respectful" was staged in every life.  What a great example.

    The rebels attacked cities and plundered territory along the way, plundering more than 100,000 yuan in gold from various government treasuries to use as military supplies. At the same time, they enfeoffed generals and guarded the passes. They repeatedly enumerated Liu Jin's crimes and fought against the imperial court!

    Great earthquake in Guanzhong!

    On the fifth day of the rebellion, a special general defected to the rebels. His name was Qiu Yue, a former guerrilla general in the capital of Ningxia. Zhu Zhixiu was overjoyed and appointed Qiu Yue as the vanguard of the rebels.

    In silence, Qin Kan buried a chess piece next to Zhu Zhixiu.
