Chapter 151 Jialing Rebellion, a fatal plague to Daqian!
Jialing County, Shanfeng City!
In the dead of night, wisps of fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the dark sky as bright as day, a fiery red.

The air was filled with gunpowder and the smell was heart-pounding. There was noise and deafening shouting everywhere. The whole city was in turmoil.

The streets were filled with thick black smoke and flames, reflecting the terrified and defeated faces of those high-ranking officials on a daily basis.

At this moment, the times have changed.

Instead, these corrupt officials who are used to abusing their power have become the rats crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beheading them.

The pride that he once took so much pride in now turned into terrified embarrassment, with only endless fear and despair left in his eyes.

How could this be?
At this moment, their hearts were still full of confusion. They didn't understand why these civilians who had worked hard in the past suddenly burst out with such fighting power and became troublemakers in their eyes.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the huge turmoil in Shanfeng City.

At the same time, the tall general's mansion had been surrounded by rioters, and the air was filled with shouts and crashing sounds.

Chang Hou's soldiers fought hard to guard behind the door, but they knew very well that such resistance was futile. Everyone's face was filled with fear and despair.

"General, there are more and more rioters outside, and I'm afraid our guards can't hold on any longer!" Chang Hou's staff stood aside, speaking in a hurried tone, with a frown on their faces, and their voices trembling with uneasiness.

"Damn it!"

"Damn you!" Chang Hou's face turned pale, veins popped out on his hands, and he slammed them heavily on the wooden table, gritting his teeth and shouting, "I knew this would happen. If I had known this earlier..."

At this moment, his heart was filled with endless regret and anger, as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest.

After his subordinates left, he felt more and more that something was wrong. He felt vaguely uneasy, fearing that if he was not careful, it would arouse public anger.

To be on the safe side, he even called in guards from the city wall so that if anything happened, they could suppress it immediately.

However, he never expected that the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations. The current situation was no longer under his control.

Now those rioters not only dared to surround his general's mansion, not to mention other places in the city. I'm afraid that at this moment, there is unrest and conflict everywhere in the city.

If there were only a few blind people, his soldiers would be enough to kill them all.

But now?
Who on earth does he want to kill in that vast sea of ​​people? Is it still useful to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys at this time?
You know, it's hard to offend the public, especially at this time.

"The general is confused!" Chang Hou's staff was extremely anxious and looked at the chaos in front of them, and for a moment they lost their attention.

If it were an ordinary unrest, he would still have a way to deal with it.

But now the whole city is in turmoil and people are in panic. In addition, the city’s military force is insufficient. Even if they suppress the situation by force, it may be counterproductive.

"Sir, is there any other solution?"

Chang Hou turned his head to look at the aide beside him and placed all his hopes on him.

"This……"

Faced with Chang Hou's extremely eager gaze, the aide was stunned for a moment, and then started cursing in his heart.

He was only away for one day.

Chang Hou has caused such a big mess, it's nothing, it's really like a piece of mud that can't be helped.

Now he really wants to run away, but the city is full of rioters. Can he really escape?

Seeing the look in his aides' eyes, Chang Hou knew the result and his face turned gloomy.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, a stern light flashed in his eyes, and his voice became extremely cold: "In this case, we can only give it a try."

"It depends on whether these cunning people value their lives. If they do, then there is still hope."

At this point, he only has this one solution which is not a solution, that is, strong suppression. As for the so-called reputation and innocent lives, he no longer cares about them at this moment.

Now, he just wanted to drive away the rioters at the cost of a few lives, and deal with the rest later.

At this moment, the gate of the general's mansion was shaking under the violent impact, as if it would collapse at any time.

In order to prevent the rioters from rushing in, they are now resisting with their bodies, but even so, the impact force from outside is still strong, and every collision makes them feel as if they are about to be thrown out.

Listen to the raging roar outside, dense and trembling!
Everyone's face was pale, as if those sounds were striking at their hearts.

A young soldier, the spear in his hand trembled slightly, his face was full of fear, his eyes were full of anxiety and panic, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

"What are you afraid of?" The old soldier next to him glared at him and said in a low and stern voice, "If you can't stop the rioters outside today, they will rush in and tear you to pieces!"

The young soldier swallowed and tried to calm himself down. "I know, but... there are too many people outside."

Hearing this, the old soldier's expression suddenly froze and he was stunned.

Yes,

In all his years in the army, he had never seen so many people? And so many rioters?

When can the rioters attack the general's mansion?
In the past, he would not have dared to think about this. No one would have thought that these people who used to be beaten and scolded would actually have such a hideous side.

The next second, accompanied by a huge crash, the originally majestic red lacquer door finally couldn't bear it and collapsed. Along with the collapse of the door came a flood of rioters, and the general's mansion was immediately plunged into chaos.

The previous resistance had exhausted all their patience.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out in the entire general's mansion. The soldiers fought with all their might, but their strength seemed so small in the face of the rage of the rioters.

Blood splattered everywhere, wailing sounds came one after another, and the strong smell of blood mixed with the burnt stench filled the air, making people shudder.

There were sounds of things breaking and wailing all the time, which was chilling.

Soon, even the general's mansion was on fire, with flames shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the entire area red.

The anger of the rioters seemed unquenchable. Once this problem was solved, the furious rioters quickly rushed to the next one. This time they wanted to vent all their dissatisfaction over the years.

Looking from afar.

The entire Shanfeng City fell into chaos.

The streets were littered with collapsed houses and scattered corpses, as if the end of the world had come.

I'm afraid that Chang Hou never thought that there would be such a day until his death?
Just like those superiors in the imperial court, they probably did not expect what was happening in Shanfeng City.

……

Jialing County, Leling City. The eastern sky had just begun to turn pale, and Lin Zhongyun was already standing on the city wall, gazing at the thick smoke rising a hundred miles away with a sharp gaze, and a surge of irrepressible joy surged in his heart.

At this time, the spies sent to Shanfeng City also returned and brought exciting good news.

"King Wu is truly as good as a god."

The spy hurriedly climbed up the tower, without taking a rest, and said with a folded hand: "Now Shanfeng City has fallen into turmoil, and the people in the city have burned down the general's mansion. As for the guards on the tower, they have been replaced by civilians."

"In addition, the people in the city have a very good attitude towards us. They all eagerly hope that King Wu will take them in and lead them to fight against the court. Now a group of people are on their way to join our righteous army. I will go ahead and bring this news to King Wu."

"very good!"

Hearing this news, Lin Zhongyun showed an irrepressible smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He laughed and said, "Now is the time for us to take action. Send a message to send our people to Shanfeng City, and send another cavalry to pick up the people who come to surrender to us."

"Also, spread this news immediately. I want the entire Jialing County to know this news."

This was exactly what he wanted - to defeat the enemy without fighting.

Obviously, the current situation proved his strategy, and this psychological tactic was more effective than a violent attack.

He hadn't even deployed a single soldier, but Shanfeng City was already within his grasp. Although Shanfeng City was closest to Leling City and was under the greatest pressure, this victory was enough to illustrate the point.

Compared to their violent attack, this strategy was safer and faster. After all, if they attacked head-on one by one, they might not have taken Jialing County by the end of the winter.

And that is under ideal circumstances where the court does not take any action.

However, the situation is now completely different.

The unrest in Shanfeng City was just a beginning, an introduction.

Previously, the reason why no unrest broke out was because the imperial court still had its influence and everyone was waiting and watching, but now there is this living example, which makes them see hope and possibility.

As time goes by, more and more cities will fall into unrest.

The Daqian Dynasty lasted for five or six hundred years. Could it be that the number of common people oppressed during these years was more than a million?
As long as he can defend Leling City, the people of Jialing County will definitely take action!

What would happen even if the imperial army arrived at that time?

And that was the best time for him to send troops, and he could take over the entire Jialing County without any effort.

……

Soon, with Lin Zhongyun's instigation, riots broke out in Shanfeng City. The news that it was easily occupied by the rebels spread throughout Jialing County, causing an uproar.

Initially, Lin Zhongyun's words only ignited the flame of hope. Although the people were eager to make a move, no one dared to take the risk and put it into practice. However, the fall of Shanfeng City provided them with a living example, allowing them to see the possibility of resistance.

The common people's dissatisfaction with the court is growing stronger and stronger, and their desire for resistance is about to erupt like a volcano.

"Have you heard? Shanfeng City has already erupted! The imperial court didn't even send troops to suppress it!"

"Suppress? The imperial court can barely protect itself now, how can it have the energy to manage small cities like us?"

"Yeah, for so many years, those damn officials have been bullying us and it's time for that to end."

"Why can the people of Shanfeng City resist, but we can't? Do we still have to endure such heavy taxes?"

"How long are we going to endure this kind of court? Why?"

"The court has no time to care about us now, which is our chance. We don't want such a court!"

"Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different races? Why can those high and mighty people fool us like this?"

……

The people's emotions spread rapidly like ignited firewood. The court's indifferent attitude towards the Shanfengcheng Incident gave them hope and completely ignited the anger in their hearts.

At the same time, the city defense officials in various parts of Jialing County were also on pins and needles and were very nervous.

Lin Zhongyun's threat had already made them unable to sleep or eat, and now they had to be on guard against possible unrest in the city at all times, which was a double pressure.

Shanfeng City is already a living example, and they don’t want to follow in its footsteps.

However, once the precedent of the Shanfengcheng Incident was set and the court did nothing, how could the unrest be stopped just like that?
Just one day after the riot broke out in Shanfeng City, major cities in Jialing County also fell into chaos one after another.

Jialing County, Laidong City.

In front of the city gate, angry people rushed towards the soldiers guarding the city like a tide, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

At this moment, the threat to their lives could no longer make people retreat, but instead aroused even more intense anger in their hearts. Unrest was unfolding in every corner of the city, and corrupt officials were dragged onto the streets one after another to face the trial of the angry people.

Pinggu City.

On the streets, groups of rioters dragged out those officials who had abused their power in the past and paraded them in the streets, where they were cursed by thousands of people. The once high-ranking generals who defended the city were now tied up and knelt on the beheading platform, waiting for the people's judgment.

His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and his former majesty was long gone.

Wanfu City.

The originally solemn and majestic meeting hall is now filled with angry people.

The people sitting on the high platform were no longer generals, but the troublemakers in their eyes. The former officials knelt on the ground one by one, their faces pale, being judged and spurned by the crowd. The power and dignity of the past seemed so fragile at this moment.

……

In this way, the unrest in Jialing County spread rapidly like a prairie fire. In just one day, cities of all sizes were plunged into riots of varying degrees.

Some cities were able to quickly suppress the riots and restore order because they had sufficient garrison troops, but some cities, like Shanfeng City, were eventually captured by angry mobs and renamed.

At the same time, Lin Zhongyun was not idle either.

He quickly sent troops to take over the cities that had been captured by the rioters. In just one day, most of Jialing County had become his territory.

As for those who are still resisting, Lin Zhongyun is not in a hurry.

Since there was a first riot?
Then there will be a second time, each time faster than the last and more difficult to suppress than the last.

Similarly, Lin Zhongyun also understood that this turmoil was just the beginning.
As long as this matter spreads throughout the world, it will sweep across the entire Jialing County, even Yangzhou, and even the entire Daqian like a storm!
This is a plague, a deadly plague to Daqian! .
