Chapter 148 Qingzhou Uprising
ps: Please vote, yesterday Monday, but I forgot...
Qingzhou has been rebellious since ancient times, but if we want to find out the reason, then there is only one.
Qingzhou has poor land and the people are poor. Whether under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is just entering its prime, the people here are still poor.
Poverty can cause many negative instability factors, such as violence, and people have no sense of belonging to the country, so as long as they can make them rich, it will become worth doing, even if it is a rebellion!
Lu Bufan's death was used as a fuse to ignite the first fire in Longyan City.
In this fire, Lu Bufan's eldest son Lu Qingya became a key figure. He added countless dry firewood to the fire, such as the injuries and deaths of the people and the government in conflicts, and the rumors who aroused the people's hearts were scattered with rebellion.
Perhaps, it is because Lu Qingya's arrangement has obvious effect, or perhaps Lu Bufan, a great charity, has given too many favors to people. In short, this first fire was quite successful.
In Longyan City, the mobs organized the government to crush the government and hung the county magistrate who killed Lu Dashanren on the wooden frame. The county magistrate did not refute, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
As the leader of the mob, Lu Qingya walked out of the crowd and won almost pathological cheers. He came to the county magistrate and said firmly: "You and my father should be honored as the first fire of the holy war."
"I'm honored." The county magistrate said, sweeping the audience around and saying, "The people are just a group of inferior animals, covering their eyes and covering their eyes, and they will see nothing."
"You don't need to teach me this principle, nor do you need to sigh."
As he said that, Lu Qingya stretched out his right hand.
Someone from outside the blank area between Lu Qingya and the county magistrate center immediately rushed out and sent torches.
Lu Qingya did not speak anymore, and threw the torch casually at the pile of firewood under the feet of the county magistrate who was lifted up, and the fire gradually began to rise.
Lu Qingya's face, which was particularly cold for a breath, suddenly burst into tears after turning around and came to his senses. He knelt down amid the irritating cheers of the audience. He looked at the sky and murmured: "Great revenge is avenged." It fully reflects the appearance of a kind-hearted family child.
Lu Qingya's crying was very contagious. His tears were continuous, wetting the muddy ground. He applied it on from time to time, and felt extremely wronged.
Some people who were also thinking about Lu Dada’s good people also began to cry.
From time to time, Lu Qingya felt that it was almost done and stood up, his voice was a little hoarse: "Dear fellow villagers, we have burned the county magistrate to death, and the government of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will not let us go."
The people showed a look of horror, and someone cooperated and said, "Grand Master, what should I do? What should I do?"
There was a lot of noise in the crowd. When this fear reached its peak in the hearts of the people, Lu Qingya said with a suggestion: "Everyone is my benefactor of the Lu family, so how can you ignore you? But we can't stay in Longyan City anymore. If you are willing to go with me, I pat my chest to ensure that you can have a meal!"
Immediately a big man stood up and shouted: "I believe in the eldest son, I'll leave, anyway, this Longyan City can't make a name for itself. Why not go out and try it out."
Then came the passionate statements of the elderly, young people, women and children. Among them, there were some so-called superiors with some reputations in Longyan City!
There are two ways to face the people who participated in this riot. One is to choose to stay here, which will surely be a bottomless abyss, and the other is to follow the eldest son, at least you will not have to worry about food and drink.
One death is life. This kind of choice is actually no choice, and no one will choose to die.
As more and more people walked out of the crowd under the temptation, Lu Qingya was very moved. In this battle, he took away two thousand mobs.
Longyan City, which was already sparsely populated, was immediately paralyzed, and people could not live normally. Based on this, some people had to follow Lu Qingya out of Longyan City in order to make a living.
Soon, the mob led by Lu Qingya attacked the surrounding county towns, only robbing the government and not the poor, and even giving the snatched food to the poor. The name of the chivalrous army began to spread among the people.
As the friction with the local governments of the prosperous Tang Dynasty became more and more intense, Lu Qingya established a rebel army with the support of the mysterious organization Restoration of Zhouhui, and gave the mob rank and official treatment.
In just half a month, there were as many as 10,000 so-called heroes who came to see him. The hero army expanded rapidly. At this time, the Yizhou border army, which could suppress the hero army with just one finger, had no movement.
The local power gradually disappeared. The heroes returned to Longyan City in winter, dominated the city, renovated the city walls, scattered money and grain, surrounded the city and drank it, and built a powerful weapon to defend the city!
Since then, the Xiajun has become more stable, and Lu Qingya focuses on internal member construction!
On that day, the sky was high and the clouds were light and the wind was swaying. Lu Qingya walked up to the top of Longyan City. More than 30 cavalrymen from afar turned sharply. He couldn't help but raise his lips and smiled slightly.
These more than thirty people are masters of the Fuzhou Association, so they naturally came to fill the high-level power of the Xiajun.
A man in black climbed up the city wall from time to time. After seeing Lu Qingya, he whispered: "It's done well."
Lu Qingya nodded and said, "It's good that you are here. Zhongzhou of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will soon pour into Qingzhou. You must be prepared."
The old man in black smiled and said, "The power of the Fuzhou Association has just appeared, so how could it make you lose so quickly? You can rest assured about this."
Lu Qingya was silent for a moment and said, "I still have one more worry."
"What's the matter?"
"If a spark wants to start a prairie fire, one must first meet one condition. When the fire is not strong, no one will come to weed."
"But not weeding does not mean that the weeder has not seen it. The weeder now can turn a blind eye to it based on some conditions, but if he changes his mind, what if he wants to get rid of the weed?"
The old man in black smiled slightly and said with great confidence in the arrangements of the upper level of the Fuzhou Conference: "No, since the weeder does not come to weed now, no matter what he thinks in the future, once the fire starts, it will not be what he has stopped."
Lu Qingya asked back: "Do you really think if the Qingzhou border army takes action, we will have a chance?"
"You have to believe in the power in the association, otherwise you have endured it for thirty years, so why should you take action now?"
Lu Qingya nodded heavily and expressed his agreement.

As the fire in Qingzhou spread, Zhang Xiaodao was fighting against the landlord with Tang Qinian Chen Yuxiang.
Chen Yuxiang's eyes were bright, and Tang Qinian scratched his head and his cheeks. Obviously, this fresh way of playing made them fall into it and it was difficult for them to extricate themselves.
"Bomb." Zhang Xiaodao smiled and said, "Expose a piece."
The two looked helpless and surrendered with wooden signs. Zhang Xiaodao stretched out his hand and dozens of taels of silver were recorded.
The three of them quickly started another game, and Zhang Xiaodao grabbed the landlord again without any surprise. This time, the last three trump cards were not good, but in the end, with his strong memory ability, Zhang Xiaodao still produced a 10-year-old win.
Tang Qinian said: "I really can't play poker anymore. Xiaodao has a perverted memory. I guess he can even calculate what cards you and I have left in my hands."
Chen Yuxiang put down the card and said, "I can remember it too. But in terms of calculations, Xiaodao is indeed powerful."
Zhang Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you think you don't have to give this bet?"
The two of them smiled helplessly and handed over the money obediently.
Tang Qinian rubbed his eyes, opened the bead chains in the car, and air conditioning rushed in crazily in the window. Seeing that the night was dark and the wilderness was deserted, he said, "I'm afraid I can't stay in the inn. I'm going to rush to the road tomorrow."
Luo Xuan, the leader of the three hundred cavalry, immediately ordered the stop of his pace and set up a camp.
Zhang Xiaodao and Tang Qinian wrapped themselves in their clothes and walked out of the carriage. Seeing that many soldiers were busy, they began the only topic that they chatted these days, Li Yuemei.
Zhang Xiaodao had already said what he knew many times. But His Highness never got tired of listening, so he could only keep falling into repetition.
The silver moon in the sky is like a hook, and the food in the camp is fragrant.
Tang Qinian knew that the soldiers were tired from traveling these days, so he ordered those who did not watch to drink a small amount of alcohol. The cheers were boiling.
Holding the food, Zhang Xiaodao wandered among the many soldiers. From time to time, he would shamelessly pick up two chopsticks when he saw someone's appetite. Then the soldiers scolded him, Zhang Xiaodao mocked him, and the atmosphere was pleasant and joyful.
As they were having fun, the sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually sounded. Everyone looked sideways and saw a man and a horse galloping towards him, stopping in front of the camp from time to time.
The sturdy figure and not fierce appearance, but he also saw that he was not a good guy. At this time, he looked anxious and showed off his waist sign after getting off the horse, "Si Shui City Xuantian Pavilion, I'll see Your Highness if you have an urgent matter."
After verifying his identity, he was quickly introduced into the tent. Zhang Xiaodao also walked in with a good letter. Seeing Zhang Xiaodao walking into His Highness's tent so casually, the man couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang?"
"It's me." Zhang Xiaodao nodded.
"A few days ago, after Your Highness spoke, I checked the person named Liu Yichen and found that he was missing. I'm really sorry."
Zhang Xiaodao said: "It's okay, but please continue to check."
"Please rest assured that this is the moment. Yueming Palace has mobilized its strength. As long as he does not leave the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he can find it even if he dies in the deep mountains and forests."
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and sat next to Tang Qinian, holding two mouthfuls of braised pork in Tang Qinian's bowl.
Tang Qinian picked up a mouthful and said, "These imperial chefs I brought are good, I don't know what is important to Qin Chuguan?"
The Xuantian Pavilion, named Qin, sat down and raised her skin, half-kneeled down, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, a rebellion broke out in Qingzhou."
Tang Qinian and Zhang Xiaodao, who were originally extremely relaxed, stopped the chopsticks in their hands. Tang Qinian asked, "How?"
"The court has ordered the Qingzhou border troops to be wiped out, and the Zhongzhou General Xu Qing is also gathering troops to cooperate with each other. Therefore, please do not leave Zhongzhou for the time being, and be calm."
Tang Qinian asked: "Rebel or mob?"
"Thousands of rumored mobs!"
Tang Qinian's eyes froze and he said sternly: "Fuck, if there are only a few thousand people, do you still use Zhongzhou to send troops?"
Zhang Xiaodao was startled and looked at Tang Qinian's almost solidified face, as if he had re-recognized the Your Highness. It seemed that the gentleness on the surface was not really gentle, but the courage in his chest!
Qin Zuguan immediately replied: "Your Highness, now I have only this news."
Tang Qinian cursed: "You all of you Yueming Palace are fucking useless? If you don't say it truthfully, you will be punished to death!"
Qin Shuguan was sweating profusely, and he did not dare to obey the general's advice to His Highness not worrying about such trivial matters. He quickly told all the information he received.
After listening to Qin Chuguan's narration, Tang Qinian and Zhang Xiaodao looked at each other and Tang Qinian said, "No, there is something wrong with this matter."
Zhang Xiaodao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that this trip to Youcha was not as leisurely as he thought! (To be continued...)
