Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the flag to rebel in Changbai Mountain, with the slogan "Counter-force labor, counter-Eastern expedition."

This Eastern Expedition was devoted to the national strength. Henan, Hebei and Qilu were closest to the Eastern Expedition battlefield. According to the principle of levying labor nearby to save costs, civilians from Henan, Hebei and Qilu were recruited in large quantities. The main laborers went to the battlefield, and farming became a problem. The elderly, weak, women and children who stayed at home were barely stuck and could not pay the rent.

The Eastern Expedition required various war materials such as food, grass, silk, etc., and these war materials were borne by local governments. In order to complete the task, local governments could only increase the collection efforts, so conflicts arose.

There was an unexpected situation in the sky, but at this moment, flooding a lot of water was flooded in the lower reaches of the river, and the fields were flooded, and the grains were not collected. The victims were waiting for the government's relief, but the government was in trouble. Not only could not collect rent, but they had to open a warehouse to provide relief. They would definitely not be able to complete the task assigned by the court. However, this task was a hard indicator. Whoever could not complete the official hat would be gone. In order to save his official hat, the government gave up on the disaster victims without hesitation and sent the food and other materials in the official warehouse and the charity warehouse to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition.

The victims were desperate, took risks and rose up.

In order to gain a foothold in the righteousness and win more support, Wang Bo and Meng Rang put forward the slogan of "anti-force labor, anti-eastern expedition". Without the Eastern Expedition, the government would not have conscripted corve labor without restraint, nor would it have sent disaster relief materials from the official warehouse and the charity warehouse to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition; if the labor force was at home, even if the flood broke out, it would still have the ability to rescue disasters. In addition, the government opened warehouses and released grain, natural disasters would not have turned into man-made disasters.

However, if you carefully study this slogan, it is not difficult to find that it is exactly in line with the position of the conservatives in the court. Who in the court opposes the Eastern Expedition? Of course, it is the conservatives. When the conservatives saw the victims rising up and the rebels put forward the slogan of anti-Eastern Expedition, they took advantage of the situation and tried their best to destroy the Eastern Expedition. No matter what means are used, as long as the Eastern Expedition fails to achieve the expected results, the conservatives will win and give them the "sharp weapon" to counterattack the reformists.

To take a step back, even if the Eastern Expedition was won and the emperor and the reformists made great achievements, the domestic situation deteriorated sharply due to the Eastern Expedition, and the stable environment needed to promote reform no longer exists. This led to the emperor and the reformists who won military victory but lost politically, and their pre-war goals were still not achieved, so the reforms stagnated. The conservatives laughed to the end and gave the emperor and the reformists a heavy blow politically.

This is the fundamental reason why the uprising wave has swept across the north and south of the rivers since Wang Bo and Meng Rang raised the flag of Changbai Mountain. It is not that the government will not suppress the rebellion, nor that the Yingyang Mansion will not suppress the thieves, nor that the responsibility of the wars will be raised to the eastern expedition and to natural disasters. It is the fundamental contradiction within the ruling class of Middle-Turkish straits, which finally broke out under the attack of internal reforms and foreign wars. This is an irrescue and unstoppable "man-made disasters", and the outbreak of this "man-made disasters" will inevitably lead to the ongoing internal reforms and foreign wars in a crisis of failure. Once the internal reforms and foreign wars fail, the force to suppress "man-made disasters" will dissipate suddenly, and "man-made disasters" will inevitably develop explosively, and the uprising will inevitably cause shocking waves and sweep the entire Middle-Turkish, and the great cause of unification may collapse, and Middle-Turkish may once again go towards division and war.

This is the result that Trey Deben most reluctant to see.

The rebel army is a double-edged sword. It can destroy both opponents and hurt itself. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable. Even if the conservatives achieve their expected goals, destroy the emperor and the reformists, and end the reform, the core power of the conservatives can never be spared, and they will definitely pay a heavy price for it. Killing one thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself is a battle where both sides suffer or even burn them. History has proved that countless wealthy families buried in the dust of history have disappeared in this bloody and cruel battle.

This is a question of "degree", and this "degree" is too difficult to grasp. The leaders of the rebel army are never willing to be a "chess piece", and they are even more willing to work hard but sit on the wedding dress for others. The leaders of the rebel army have their own ambitions and political goals. At this stage, they need the support of wealthy families, and wealthy families also need them to achieve their political goals. Both sides take their own needs, hit it off and use each other. But when the rebel army develops to a certain scale and the wealthy families gradually lose control of them, the "degree" will be difficult to grasp. Once the strength of the two sides is subverted, the rebel army competes with the wealthy families with independent emerging political forces, and the survival crisis of the wealthy families will come.

However, this is only one of the worst consequences that may occur in the future. According to historical experience, in the process of the heroes' battle for hegemony, although the wealthy families are at the forefront, risks and opportunities coexist. As long as the strategy is right, they can not only avoid risks smoothly, but also seize opportunities to develop and grow to the greatest extent. In this regard, the wealthy families with hundreds of years or even thousands of years have too rich experience and are not worth worrying about. Therefore, although Cui Deben was worried about the future situation in Middle Earth, he was still confident in the risk resistance of the Cui Shi ship. He was not worried about the Cui Shi's future. What he needed to consider was how to use the white-haired strangers and the rebels to the maximum extent, and set off a great storm that swept across Middle Earth in the shortest time, and then completely bury the prehistoric beast called "reform" that has opened its bloody mouth to the wealthy families.

At this point, Duan Wencao's thoughts were exactly the same as Cui Deben. Duan Wencao asked Cui Deben for assistance in the letter, and behind the request for assistance, he clearly expressed his tolerance towards the Qilu Rebel Army. His accommodation, indulgence, and even unprincipled tolerance made Cui Deben see the quiet change in the Duan family in Beihai's reform position after Duan Wenzhen was destroyed.

Duan Wenzhen came from a noble family, but was a firm reformist faction. After the unification of Sino-Turkish army and earth, the reformists surrounded the two generations of emperors, all came from wealthy families without exception.

During the Middle-earth split period, no matter what political system the kingdoms, large and small, implemented, were the core of the aristocrats in their glorious surface. Those who held power were the great nobles who had passed down from generation to generation, or emerging nobles who rose with military merits. The lower nobles were not qualified to enter the high-level power level. After unification, Middle-earth entered a new era. Of course, the political system must adapt to the new era after unification. Only in this way can the unity be maintained and prosperity can be maintained. Therefore, reform is the general trend, the will of the people, and the necessity of history and unstoppable. However, after unification, those who held power were still those who held power. They must first safeguard their own interests and protect their own interests. First, they must ensure the peaceful reunification of Middle-earth. Only the peaceful reunification environment can further promote the development and growth of wealthy families. These two complement each other, but there are fierce conflicts in interest demands.

The simple truth is that if you make the big pie bigger, the total interests of China and Turkish will increase, and all social classes will benefit. But the problem is that if you want to make the big pie bigger, you must work together. You cannot do your best or be lazy, which will lead to unfair distribution. Once the unfair distribution is serious, the contradictions between various social classes will intensify, and the society will be in turmoil, which will affect the peaceful reunification of China and Turkish and the increase of China and Turkish's total interests.

Therefore, under the premise that the great nobles control the authority, the overall idea of ​​reform is to find a balance between making a big pie to increase the total interests of China-Turkish people and maintaining and increasing their own interests, that is, economic reform takes priority over political reform. Therefore, although China-Turkish politics after unification was covered with the gorgeous robe of centralization, it is essentially aristocratic politics, and it is changed to the soup and not the medicine.

The peaceful and stable environment and correct economic policies of Middle-earth have put the development of Middle-earth on the fast lane. The rapid development of the economy and the sharp increase in the total economic volume have benefited all classes of society, and the distribution injustice has become increasingly serious, especially the vast number of poor families, most of which are emerging aristocrats who have risen with military merits, and are full of resentment for the unfairness of power and wealth distribution. The higher aristocrats among the emerging aristocrats who have risen with military merits are also far behind the wealthy families who have passed down from generation to generation due to the unchangeable reasons such as history and culture. Moreover, the gap in comprehensive strength has caused their development potential to be seriously insufficient and they have a tendency to be gradually driven out of the power high-level leaders. Therefore, the emerging aristocrats who have risen with military merits and the extremely large number of poor families have become the main force in promoting reform.

The fierce contradictions within the ruling class caused by injustice in distribution threatened the peaceful reunification of Middle-Turkey and began to force the power leaders in Middle-Turkey to carry out political system reforms.

Political system reform is a confrontation between centralization and aristocratic politics. From the stance of the firm reformists, it is to curb and crack down on the privileges of wealthy families, weaken and deprive the power and wealth of wealthy families, completely eliminate distribution injustice, and completely eradicate the root causes of division and war.

Of course, wealthy families have to protect their own interests, but due to the current situation, they have to compromise and have to reform and have to take out some of the interests to ease the contradictions within the aristocratic class. Therefore, many of the great nobles who control the authority of China-Turkish have become reformists. Many of them have great determination to reform, their reform ideas are very advanced, and their reform methods are also radical. However, their fundamental purpose is to find a new balance between the development and prosperity of China-Turkish families and the survival of China-Turkish families. In fact, it is necessary to maintain the dominance of the wealthy families in the distribution of power and wealth in China-Turkish countries, and to maintain the politics of the aristocratic families.

During the late emperor's era, Gao Ying, Yu Qingze, Yang Xiong and Su Wei were called "Four nobles". There were also many civil and military officials and generals such as Yang Su, Cui Hongdu, Pei Shiju. Their reform concept was basically the same as that of the late emperor. They all advocated reform and actively promoted the development and strength of Zhongtu. However, at the same time they were divided into two factions. One faction insisted on letting some of the interests of Du to other classes of society, while the other faction spared no effort to retain the privileges of wealthy families.

In today's era, Yu Qing was already dead, Yang Su died soon, while Gao Ying was driven out of the center. Yang Xiong, Su Wei and Pei Shiju were still there, Yuanshou, Yang Da, Duan Wenzhen and other great nobles with great virtues were also promoted to the center because they were deeply trusted by the current emperor. The center was strong and political reform was carried out drastic.

Political reform touched the bottom line of wealthy families, and the fundamental contradictions within the nobles became increasingly fierce. This fundamental contradiction with interests as the core quickly triggered the contradictions between the Guanlong people, Shandong people and Jiangzuo people, the contradictions between old nobles and emerging nobles, the contradictions between wealthy families and poor families, and the contradictions between nobles and civilians. As a result, the contradictions of the entire society intensified and broke out in just a few years. Political reform encountered unprecedented resistance, and this resistance intensified the contradictions between the emperor and wealthy families, and the contradictions between the central and the army, the central and local governments. A crisis that endangers the unification of China and the stability of the country is coming.

Duan Wenzhen is a firm reformist, but this does not mean that the Duan family in Beihai agrees with and supports his reform concept, nor does it mean that the entire Qilu noble group is following him unswervingly. When political reform has seriously damaged the wealthy families and affected the entire aristocratic class, the Duan family and the Qilu noble group of Beihai can only rely on Duan Wenzhen's authority to protect themselves to the greatest extent. Now Duan Wenzhen is dead and the protective umbrella is gone. The Duan family of Beihai and the Qilu noble group are exposed to their opponents, but there are too many opponents. If they continue to stubbornly adhere to the radical reform concept and continue to support the emperor's reform, they will be attacked by a group of opponents like a storm. Therefore, changing course and changing from "radical" to "conservative" in the reform position is the only way for the Duan family of Beihai and the Qilu noble group to protect their own interests.
