Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"I've heard that the new Ming Dynasty has already conquered Zhejiang and Jiangsu,"

"Let's just rebel!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "The Victorious Army is in Fuzhou."

"Their armor and weapons are very well-made."

"How could we possibly win?"

"To rebel now is to commit suicide."

"We must wait until the new dynasty's heavenly army arrives before we can discuss this further."

Ye Nong angrily said, "Many brothers' homes,"

"We're so poor we can't even afford to eat anymore."

"If we don't distribute grain soon, my wife and children will all starve to death!"

"Think again, think again."

Zhang Yuan muttered to himself.

In another timeline, those civil officials from before...

Leading these Fujian soldiers to defend the emperor,

They traveled north to guard the Yellow River ferry crossing.

Upon returning home after defeat, not to mention compensation and rewards,

They didn't even pay the "armor removal fee".

Chapter 1803 I Can't Surrender!

When they arrived in Jianzhou,

Even provisions are running out.

They made the soldiers travel on empty stomachs.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan led a mutiny of the local troops.

They killed the transport commissioner Mao Kui, the transport judge Cao Zi, and the prefect of Jianzhou Zhang Qin.

They looted grain on the spot and occupied the state capital.

They repeatedly repelled the large armies sent by the imperial court.

Xie Ruyi temporarily took over as the transport judge.

They persuaded these rebels to surrender.

The imperial court, however, ordered Xie Ruyi to kill the ringleaders of the rebellion.

He then led the remaining soldiers to the north to fight against the Jin.

The soldiers were furious.

Under Ye Nong's leadership, another mutiny broke out.

They fought their way back to Fuzhou from Jianzhou.

In the end, they were suppressed by Zhang Jun and his troops.

The situation is similar now.

Fujian has many mountains and little land.

After another six months of bandit suppression,

The army's food supplies were almost exhausted.

Tong Guan was able to amass wealth through extortion.

But he can't conjure up food.

The only military rations,

It will definitely be given priority to the victorious team.

The remaining troops should just barely avoid starvation.

In Tong Guan's eyes,

The rations he distributed wouldn't let the soldiers starve.

However, officials at each level embezzled funds along the way.

But the soldiers had to support their families.

Even if Zhang Shun doesn't come to raid,

The Fuzhou garrison will also mutini sooner or later!

Tong Guan, in order to collect grain,

A death order has been issued.

They forced officials in various prefectures and counties to hand over grain.

Officials took the opportunity to embezzle funds.

Even temples must be provided with food.

Needless to say, the poor and needless to say.

It's Jianzhou that's in trouble again!

Fan Jizhong and Fan Ruwei, uncle and nephew, were salt smugglers.

He summoned his hundreds of salt merchants.

They stormed into the home of a wealthy family in Jianzhou Huiyuandong.

After killing the landowner,

Fan Jizhong held up the severed head and shouted.

"When the court is tyrannical, the people's rebellion is in accordance with the will of Heaven."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is attacking Liangzhe,"

"The tyrannical ruler is dead,"

"But there are still treacherous officials in Fujian."

"Who is Tong Guan? One of the Six Traitors."

"He has ruined the North,"

"They've come to Fujian again to exploit us."

"What I'm holding in my hand is the 'Proclamation Against the Tyrant Zhao Ji' written by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"I'll read it to you using a proverb..."

Fan Jizhong was a bankrupt small landlord.

Those who have read poetry and books.

He was too lazy to write his own manifesto.

They simply used Zhao Yuan's proclamation.

Fan Ruwei stood to the side holding a broadsword.

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall.

They appear particularly robust in Fujian.

This person caused a great deal of trouble in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

At its peak, it was said to have an army of 500,000.

Moreover, the landlords' land was confiscated and distributed to the peasants.

In areas with weaker control

They forced the landlords to pay rent.

As a result, the morale of his troops was high.

When Han Shizhong led his troops to suppress them,

Most of the 30,000-strong rebel army personally led by Fan Ruwei fought to the death.

His subordinate, Fan Zhong, led the remaining troops to continue mobile warfare.

"Fathers and brothers, follow me to kill the landlord!"

After reading Zhao Yuan's proclamation,

Fan Jizhong and Fan Ruwei split their troops into two groups and fled.

They each went to attack nearby villages.

Kill the landlords and distribute the grain and land.

They even went so far as to attack temples.

Fujian is full of temples.

Male children from poor families

One-third of them were forced to become monks.

It's basically just working at a temple.

Some farm, some do business.

There are also thugs.

Countless farmers gained food and land.

They all joined the ranks of the Fan family uncles and nephews.

A large number of low-ranking monks and Taoist priests,

They also returned to secular life and joined the rebellion.

When they went to attack Jianzhou City,

The rebel army had reached tens of thousands.

And they were all soldiers who had just been assigned land!

The large landowners surrounding Jianzhou City

They almost wiped them out.

A fast horse galloped towards Fuzhou.

The messenger responsible for delivering the message knelt before Tong Guan.

"The bandit Fan is causing trouble in Jianzhou,"

"Jianzhou City has been captured."

"They claim to have an army of 100,000!"

Tong Guan's expression was blank, and he said weakly,

"got it."

.....

Fujian refers to Fuzhou and Jianzhou.

How important is the establishment of a prefecture?

You can tell from the name.

Tong Guan certainly knew that the Song Dynasty was completely finished.

But anyone can surrender.
