Chapter 356 Wang Yuanya Riding the East Wind
Babutai was almost frightened to the point of his legs going limp. Are bandits attacking us?
Could it be that after hearing that he had been defeated by two thousand Qin soldiers, these peasants also wanted to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the action?
"How ridiculous! No matter how weak I am, Babutai, I am no match for these peasants."
Yes! I can’t defeat the Qin army, but I can’t deal with you?
Immediately...
Babutai then asked the peasant what was going on and which direction the bandits were coming from.
As a result, the subordinate's answer made him even more confused. He was not sure whether he was a bandit or not.
Because these bandits did not come from Li Zhenbei, but were the leeks from Ji'an, who grew up on their own.
Hearing this little brother's confident words, Babutai's first reaction was...
Rebellion!
The people of Ji'an are rebelling!
This would be a big deal, and he didn't dare to handle it on his own, so he had to report it to the court immediately.
Now that we have mentioned this armed force of over 10,000 people, where on earth did they come from?
That’s right! It was developed by the head honcho, Wang Yuanya.
After taking in several thousand defeated soldiers, he forced them to join the Liangshan bandits, and they all became bandits.
Next, Zhang Xiaolan, Wang Yuanya, and Yan Anxun, who had extensive experience in agitation, joined the rebel army. Furthermore, the local people, unable to tolerate the exploitation of the barbarians and the tyrant county magistrate, were robbed several times by Wang Yuanya and opened warehouses for disaster relief.
Damn it! This is a rebellion!
Everyone followed this group of "righteous thieves" to rebel against the barbarian court, rebelled together, and lived a life of luxury.
What's even more terrifying is that Chen Xiaodao, one of the heroes of Liangshan, has the "training method" given to him by Qin Wang Li Jize...
Stand at attention!
They also know how to make firearms. Although they are the oldest firearms, for ordinary bandits and thieves, this army is simply terrifying!
Then we saw that in Ji'an, a force was formed by expanding the army with the "tactics of deceiving the bandits" and then gathering elite troops with the training methods of the "Qin Army".
How could such an army be stopped by a few county offices and soldiers in a small county like Ji'an?
When the county magistrate sent a letter for help to Babutai, the messenger left and the mighty rebel army surrounded the county town.
Babutai knew that there were tens of thousands of people involved in the uprising and reported it directly to the imperial court...
Chen Xiaodao commanded his troops to dig up the corner of Ji'an County's city wall and planted gunpowder...
As soon as the fire was set, the city wall collapsed with a loud bang that shook the sky.
then……
Ji'an County did not hold out for a single day as the city walls collapsed and it was breached by these bandits.
The poor rich people in the county town, no one knew what bad luck had befallen them. They had been robbed once before by the Qin army, and then they were robbed again by this damned gang of "bandits", and they were even more ruthless! Because the Qin army was leaving, they only looted what they could take away, but these people could take away what they could, and they looted everything they couldn't take away.
and……
From today on, Ji'an County will be their base and headquarters!
Since it is the base camp, of course it must be well built, so Wang Yuanya used the tactics that both the rebel army and the Qin army are good at, fighting the local tyrants!
This tactic, the rebel army only did the first thing, that is, they attacked the local tyrants and robbed them of their money and food, while the Qin army did the second thing, and they also wanted to divide the land.
But this time, Wang Yuanya decided to follow the example of the Qin army. Not only did he attack the local tyrants and confiscate their land, but he also gathered the common people in the county...
What?
Divide the land! Deal with unjust, false and wrong cases!
All the common people who were bullied by these local gentry could come to the county government to complain. Isn't this the Qin army's "public trial"? It allows the people to vent their anger and support the Qin army even more!
She did learn how to do it, and suddenly Wang Yuanya got a nickname, "Half-Faced Bodhisattva!"
The common people spontaneously erected statues for her and joined their army. There were already tens of thousands of people in the army, and now the number has expanded to nearly 20,000.
Even more terrifying is...
Wang Yuanya probably never dreamed that her behavior would cause such a stir and cause such a huge uproar.
The counties near Ji'an followed suit, rising up one after another and starting to fight against the barbarians.
Why?
It has never been so intense before. Why does Wang Yuanya's arrival cause such a terrifying effect?
Because it is just the right time, the pig is about to take off!
What do you say?
The barbarians are getting a little too cocky, thinking they've taken over the north and are now secure! What should we do?
The suicidal people wanted to make the Qi people under their rule completely submit to them, so they issued the "hair-cutting order".
Hmm! Familiar recipe, familiar operation.
Wang Yuanya took the lead in making trouble at this time, and it happened to happen at such a sensitive time. Wouldn't that be like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves?
Originally, the common people were afraid of the barbarians. Neither the Qi army nor the rebels could defeat them, so who would dare to rebel?
But Wang Yuanya dared! After Wang Yuanya set this precedent and succeeded, the people seemed to be inspired and followed suit in rebellion.
These common people are really funny!
When the Qi army was there, I was a citizen of Qi. When the rebels came, I was a submissive citizen. When the barbarians came, I was still a submissive citizen.
No matter who is in power in this world, it has nothing to do with them. You can do whatever you want.
Even if the Great Qi was destroyed, even if foreigners were about to rule everyone, many ordinary people still lived their lives in a daze.
Because to them, the emperor was too far away, and politics was too far away. They only cared about the grain in the land and how much tax the country would collect.
but now……
The barbarians suddenly wanted to shave their hair, and the group became excited and ready to fight to the death.
Incredible! It's really incredible!
It turns out that the throne is not as important as a tuft of hair on the head of an ordinary person! !
Anyway, Wang Yuanya happened to catch this opportunity, and by chance she became the first person to raise the banner of rebellion under the rule of barbarians.
Moreover, the methods implemented by her army combined the deceptive slogans of the previous rebel army with the strict military discipline of the Qin army.
and so……
She accomplishes things very quickly!
Because Wang Yuanya's army was the first to revolt, and they were good at fighting, and they also had the "firearms" that the rebels lacked the most.
Needless to say, all the nearby rebel forces directly recognized Wang Yuanya as their "leader." The army also started with Wang Yuanya's initial few thousand men. When Babutai reported to the court that Ji'an had discovered "rebellion," and the court was about to send troops to suppress it...
The number of the rebel army in the Jingchu area has reached a terrifying 100,000!
Of course, this 100,000 people must be put in quotation marks, because battles in the feudal period generally contained exaggerated elements in order to scare the enemy.
Secondly, considering the combat effectiveness of the rebels, what are the composition of 100,000 people?
