In fact, it must be said that after the taxes are paid by the powerful people, the tax share paid by the powerful people is not much, and the big part is theirs.

But this is how people are. When they suddenly want to collect taxes that they never collect, they will be unhappy. The more powerful and status people are, the more unhappy they are and the less willing they are to pay.

They must find ways to escape.

After all, no one will think that money is too much. The more money, the better, and never reduce the best.

They feel that they are different from normal ordinary people, have different social status, and have different occupations. They are not the same type of people at all, so they should enjoy different privileges.

If not, you have to pay taxes normally, that would be a crime.

Although the tax rate after clearing the land is not high, and although they have a lot, they will only want more, endlessly until they can endure themselves to death.

They were like wild cats with tails stepped on. Facing the fierce Qingzhang team of the Wei Empire, in despair, they became angry and became brave. Finally, they decided to rebel.

Let the emperor know their strength, their resistance and demands, and know that they are not lambs to be slaughtered, nor those mud legs and tamed scholars who are unable to fight against the imperial power.

The vast number of powerful landlords who called poor families awakened their will to resist, followed in the footsteps of scholars, and decided to confront the imperial power.

Of course, if scholars start a confrontation, they can also keep up, and the result may be better.

Unfortunately, when the scholars competed against imperial power, they were still watching operas, and even waiting to divide the political interests of the scholars after they fell.

Now political interests are obtained, but economic interests are facing serious threats.

The emperor takes action against their lifeblood. If he doesn't work hard, it means that his eggs are pinched by the emperor and he will lose resistance when they will directly.

Will the emperor still let the flattening and rounding the next round?

Can this be tolerated?

Anyway, they couldn't bear it, so they raised troops to protest, attacked the county town and village, and announced a break with the emperor, so that the emperor could know their strength.

There are rebellion and beacons in the ten counties of Jizhou.

Then, the rebellion fires were extinguished one after another, and there was no trace of them again.

The reason is also very simple. The militia in the village surrounded by the powerful manors rose up and bravely resisted, blocked, and cooperated under the leadership of their respective instructors, causing great trouble and casualties to the powerful rebels.

Many manor owners who were not prepared and had insufficient strength were pushed back to the manor by a wave of retorts, and were then bravely attacked by militia from all directions, and were directly trapped in the vast ocean of people's war, in panic all day long.

What's more, they were killed directly during the field battle, the rebels collapsed, and the rebellion was put to an end.

There was no governor at Jizhou at this time, and there were no military camps stationed in Jizhou.

The only regular army was the 5,000 guards who had just arrived in Yecheng to promote Qingzhang land, and then the army of Yuyang Camp located in Youzhou.

It can be said that in addition to the militia, or Guo Peng will also dispatch the Luoyang Central Army to participate in the battle, the only established armed force in Jizhou is the five thousand guards.

But it is obvious that in the face of the huge Jizhou, the five thousand guards were unable to suppress the rebellion.

If it weren't for the militia system that helped them, Jizhou would have been hard to get through this wave.

The power of the regime that went deep into the grassroots still played its role. Although it was not a complete victory, there were failures and deaths, and there were many villages that could not survive, but at least not all of them.

Therefore, the garrison in Jizhou has the possibility of coping with it.

Although there is no governor, all the officials in office who want to continue their careers, or who try to make up for their merits and find a way to survive, are willing to do their best to fight the rebels.

Naturally, there are also a very small number of county officials who not only do not resist, but also unite with local tyrants, work together to use their power to deal with the secondary rural regimes below.

There are county magistrates, county magistrates, and other officials in the county government. Their efforts have made the county government's government's orders not smooth, causing the resistance of the countryside to decline, and the dispatch is not timely and sufficient.

Within a county, a large number of villages will be destroyed, many people will be killed, and many resources will be plundered.

It would be fine if the county government eliminated the internal thieves in time to save the county town, but there are some county towns where the county magistrate was killed or the county magistrate himself was the leader of rebellion, and they directly coerced the people of the entire county to rebel together, causing significant losses.

County-level governments and state-level governments are not very powerful in the structure of the Guowei regime. They do not reach the central government or go to the local government. They are also subject to various restraints and are infringed on various power by the central government offices.

County and state governments really don’t have much power.

If you really have contact with local real power, it is the county-level government.

Therefore, once there is a problem with the county-level government, the entire county will be harmed by it, and it is difficult for the countryside to deal with it.

This situation occurred in single-digit counties within the ten counties in Jizhou.

Despite this, it is not without the kind-hearted and ambitions and grassroots officials who are still working hard to save the situation, leading the militia to fight to the death, guarding the important places and never admit defeat, buying time for the regular army to suppress the rebellion, igniting smoke and beacons, and asking for help from the safe militia teams around.

In order to better promote the transmission of information between each other, after each village is established, Guo Peng will ask them to store a certain amount of wolf smoke and beacon fuel to initiate a message of help when needed.

This preparation also played an important role in this great rebellion.

Peng Qi, the general of the guard who led 5,000 guards to Jizhou to promote Qingzhang land, received the news that the war was full of smoke and fire, and immediately realized that this was a rebellion by the powerful.

This is the same as the top secret appointment given to him by Zhao Yun before he set off.

This appointment came from the Emperor himself.

The emperor asked Peng Qi to be mentally prepared that if a powerful rebellion occurred in Jizhou, he would send news to Luoyang and do his best to stabilize the situation before reinforcements arrived.

So when setting off, Peng Qi deliberately carried a larger number of war horses to ensure that one cavalry under his command could use Jizhou's superior traffic conditions to achieve high-speed maneuvering.

This can achieve high-speed counter-insurgency.

However, when he led the Wei cavalry out in all directions, the situation he saw was very different from the tragic situation he imagined.

Although there is no governor at Jizhou for the time being and many important officials have been brought down, the rebellion initiated by the powerful did not cause a large-scale turmoil.

Most of the grassroots governments in Jizhou are intact, and once natural disasters occur, their respective command systems are independent of superior administrative orders and are qualified to act cheaply.

Before Guo Peng could master the county-level government on a large scale, the second-level government of villages and townships had its own emergency mechanism and did not need to be responsible to the superior government. Once something happened, the grassroots governments of villages and townships could react by themselves.

The militia quickly gathered to defend their homes without the need for the county government to order.

Guo Pengda has been guarding against this group of people from the beginning. He knew that those who can truly be on the same path as him and those who are unwilling to be in chaos in the world are the grassroots people and old farmers, so what he really believes in is this group of common people.

He always guards the most against scholars and poor families.

The rural system and militia system were originally intended to enhance mobilization and prevent scholars and powerful people from rebelling in the local area.

He had long known that he must have a battle with these people. The scholars were swept into a castle in the air by him, and could not collude with local tyrants to rebel, so he was killed.

Now the powerful people have lost the opportunity to collude with scholars, but the powerful people can still rely on themselves, so there will inevitably be a leader of Iron Man who will fight for his own property.
