【Chapter 355】Must pour cold water on

(0355)

No wonder, these people did not have any feelings for the court. Whoever treats them well or badly treats them, the people remember that they were Qing dynasties. Under the rule of the court, they almost lost their lives, and it was not easy to survive until now. Because the court owed money and food, there were actually quite a few relatives who were starved to death. In this case, how could they have feelings for the court?

As for Sun Mo, Hu Yishan and other slaves who were released, they would not be emotional to the court, but it would be good if they had no hatred. If it weren't for the incompetence of the court, if it weren't for the incompetence of the government, how could their relatives die at the hands of the Tartar cavalry? How could they become slaves of the Tartars? If someone proposes to rebel, they will definitely be the first to agree! It can be said that these sixty or seventy thousand slaves are definitely Xu Xingxia's most loyal supporters.

The other officials also represent their respective classes. They either come from Weizhenbao, come to Zhenshuobao, or are very poor military households, or survivors who survived the disaster. No matter which identity they have, they are very dissatisfied with the status quo. The ones they complain the most are the Tartars and the other is the court.

Finally, under the leadership of Xu Xingxia, their lives have improved. They have just had hope for the future. But now, they have heard news that Xu Xingxia may lose, and they may have to return to their original life and be bullied by officials at all levels again. How can they accept such news? How can they tolerate those bastard officials coming back to act as a blessing?

To be honest, they have all had enough of their original painful life. No one is willing to go back to their previous days. Even if they die, they are unwilling to continue their previous painful life. Now, under the leadership of Xu Xingxia, their lives are so nourishing that even the people in Ningxia City are envious. If they are asked to interrupt such a life, return to the starting point, continue to suffer, and continue to despair, it is better to kill them.

For these reasons alone, no one would doubt their motivation to rebel. If other factors are added, their motivation to rebel is indeed very large. The Chinese people are indeed very tolerant, and as long as they have a way out, they will not easily rebel. However, if you think they do not have the courage to rebel, it is a big mistake. No dynasty is short of people trying to overthrow the current government. The key is whether they can accomplish anything.

In the past, the only thing the military households in Ningxia Town lacked was a suitable leader of rebellion. For rebels, a suitable leader is hard to come by. After all, rebellion is a task with his head, and no one wants to rebel with a coward, right? Rebellion without seeing hope is not suicide? This rebel must have strong abilities to make everyone believe that he can lead them to a better life.

In the past few decades, they have not met the right candidate. Without the right candidate, they can only continue to endure. They have to endure until Xu Xingxia appears. There is no doubt that Xu Xingxia's various conditions are very consistent with the requirements of the military households. He has used his own abilities to fully prove that as long as those who follow him Xu Xingxia can live a good life and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. If Xu Xingxia leads them to rebel, the possibility of success will definitely be very high. Even if they cannot succeed, there is probably no great risk.

If Xu Xingxia's superiors took a win-win attitude towards Xu Xingxia, perhaps their belief in rebellion would not be so strong. They could not force Xu Xingxia to rebel, right? Now that Xu Xingxia has been suppressed, their idea of ​​rebellion is about to emerge. Anyway, the superiors look down on you, Xu Xingxia, so let's go against it, right?

In the past, Xu Xingxia also vaguely realized that the people in charge of the office were not settled people, and they all had a heart of rebellion that was eager to try. However, at that time, he had not fully realized what their minds were like. Now, he finally realized that rebellion was definitely not a risky thing for them, but a long-awaited action, which was quite a bit like getting what they wanted.

"Are I boarded their pirate ship, or did they boarded my pirate ship..." Xu Xingxia couldn't help but ask herself quietly in her heart. This situation is really strange. This time, I guess even if I don't want to rebel, I have no way out.

...

Psychologically, the hundreds of households in charge of the board have a clear advantage. The reason why ordinary people are afraid of rebellion is nothing more than worrying about failure of rebellion and being beheaded and confiscated. Throughout the dynasties, the most fierce punishment has been used to deal with anyone trying to rebel. This is the greatest deterrent to the rebels. However, the White-Clothed Army is a complete exception. The White-Clothed Army has such strong combat power and the possibility of rebellion is extremely high, which is completely worth taking risks.

The Ming army in Ningxia Town was a pile of loose sand in front of the Taurus cavalry and had no combat effectiveness. The Taurus cavalry had only been beaten in front of the White-Clothed Army. From its establishment to the present, it took only one year for the White-Clothed Army to defeat a tribe of the Tartars and eliminated thousands of Tartars. Such a record was absolutely unprecedented. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, ten official troops may not be the opponent of the White-Clothed Army.

According to this inference, the other Ming troops in Ningxia Town have no ability to fight back in front of the White Army! Whether they came to attack the White Army or the White Army took the initiative to attack them, they could only be beaten. The official army in Ningxia Town was only tens of thousands of people. It was really angered the White Army. It was not impossible to sweep the entire Ningxia Town within a few days. It might be difficult to attack Ningxia City, that is, Ningxia City.

This reason is very critical. There is great hope of living a better life, but there is no big risk. Who wouldn’t want to do such things? As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger. Now even the danger is greatly reduced. If you are still hesitant, you will definitely be a fool. After a year, don’t you believe in Xu Xingxia’s ability?

Another very important factor is that there are too many poor military households in Ningxia Town. Their lives are the same pain. These people basically agree with rebellion. Perhaps they will not rise up alone to rebel, but as long as the White Army arrives in their area, they will most likely follow the White Army.

In fact, in recent times, there were a large number of military households in Yaofu Castle, Hongguang Castle, Changxin Castle, Ligang Castle, Zhenbei Castle, Zhangliang Castle and other places closest to the White Army, who quietly came to surrender to the White Army. Sometimes, the number of households a day exceeded fifty households. It can be seen how strong the local military households are in the belief that they surrender to the White Army. If the White Army took the initiative to capture these places, they would probably welcome them warmly.

A spark can start a prairie fire. These poor military households who are huge and widely distributed and actively support the rebellion are the greatest help of the White-Clothed Army. With their existence, the White-Clothed Army does not need to worry about having no source of troops or labor. No matter where Xu Xingxia leads the White-Clothed Army, there will be no lack of firm supporters. At that time, as long as they dig the fields, they will follow the White-Clothed Army to the front line wholeheartedly.

It is precisely for these reasons that all the households in the management committee, after hearing that Xu Xingxia killed the Jinyiwei, had no intention of worrying at all, but instead seemed quite expecting. For those stupid Jinyiwei, they could only laugh at them infinitely. Do these stupid guys think that it is fun to force Xu Xingxia to the road of rebellion? They quickly knew what was wrong! No matter who provoked Xu Xingxia, their final outcome would be very bad.

Most of the hour later, Huang Xiaoning, Chen Wenyuan, Gao Zaixing, Deng Linyong and other four hundred households also returned. On the way, they had already learned that Xu Xingxia had killed the Jinyiwei. Sure enough, as Xu Xingxia expected, they did not resist the rebellion at all. They even couldn't wait. They didn't need Xu Xingxia's mobilization at all, so they could not hold back. After returning to Weizhen Fort, they immediately expressed their determination to Xu Xingxia. They all rebelled with Xu Xingxia with all their hearts and spared no effort.

Gao Zaixing, who is the most impatient, even suggested that he would raise the banner of rebellion overnight and raise the banner of rebellion. He even thought of a slogan for Xu Xingxia, which was called "Practice the way for heaven, and rob the rich and help the poor." As soon as he heard such a slogan, he knew that he had listened too much to others. He also strongly suggested that Xu Xingxia himself should call himself King Liang or King Xia. The name of the White Army is not loud enough, so it is best to change it, and it is called the Heavenly Army!

"Everyone calm down! I have something to say!" Xu Xingxia said hurriedly.

Under his command, Xu Xingxia was really worried. He was not worried about their enthusiasm for rebellion, but about their overly impatient consequences. At this time, he had to pour cold water on them. To be honest, they thought about rebellion too simply and too much. Too much is too late. Sometimes, taking risks and radicalism is definitely not a good thing. On the contrary, only by taking steady steps can one move towards the other side of victory.

The rebels in history are not as vigorous as the beginning, and in just a few days, they gathered tens of thousands of people, or even hundreds of thousands of people. For example, Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao, Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan and others. At the beginning, they were all surging and unstoppable. In a very short time, a large number of troops gathered, controlled a large area, seized a large amount of wealth, and swept across the world and swept across the mountains and rivers.

However, in the end, these *** were suppressed without exception. As the leader of the rebellion, the final outcome is also conceivable. Death is just one word. Of course, Xu Xingxia did not want to repeat the same mistakes and let others trample on his body. If he wants to rebel, he must ensure the maximum possibility of success. He wants to be the winner, not the loser.

Why do those vigorous rebellious activities fail in the end? The most fundamental reason is that rebellion has no clear purpose, no clear program, and no clear ideological guidance. Simply put, it is just that it does not know what it is to do. The people below only know the benefits, and follow them, burn, kill, loot, plunder, and vent their animal nature unscrupulously. Once there is no benefit, everyone will be divided. The people above only know how to kill, kill, kill, grab, grab money, and grab women. Once they encounter difficulties, they don’t know how to deal with it.

Of course, Xu Xingxia did not want this to happen. He did not want the White-clothed Army he established to become a unit that only knew how to vent his animal nature, a unit that did not know what to do, and a unit that had no thoughts. If the nature of the White-clothed Army changed, the discipline was loose, and the behavior was degenerated, he would rather not rebel. For him, rebellion was not an end, but a means. He would not turn his army into a demon like Huang Chao for his own selfish interests, and he had nothing except killing and looting.

The rebellion activities in history have greatly damaged the production and life of the country. After every large-scale ban, there is a sad and tragic situation where bones are exposed in the wild and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away. A large number of people are slaughtered, a large number of resources are consumed, and a large amount of wealth is outflowed. The strength of the country is greatly weakened, and foreign enemies take the opportunity to invade. The lessons from the late Han Dynasty are vivid in my mind. Is such rebellion what Xu Xingxia needs? Of course not!

He would rather have a smaller scale, a more solid foundation, and a more cautious action at the beginning, and lay a good foundation. He must continue to emphasize the discipline of the White Army, the nature of the White Army, and the belief in defending the country. He wants the following military households to know that rebellion is not herding sheep, aimless burning, killing, looting, or unscrupulous venting his animal nature. Rebellion is also subject to strict discipline restrictions!

At the same time, he also worked harder to build the area around the Heishan Camp and create a more solid base. Xu Xingxia resolutely abandoned the bandit-like combat method without base. He must hoard enough materials around the Heishan Camp to meet the needs of the battle before the court reacted. There is no doubt that once the court starts suppression, the first step is to strictly prohibit the inlet and exit of the Heishan Camp.

"What is the purpose of our rebellion?" Xu Xingxia said slowly.

"Suppose the court, overthrow the emperor, and live a good life!" Chen Denglong said without hesitation.

"Yes! Overthrow the Dog Ri court and overthrow the Dog Ri Emperor!" Other officials also started shouting. Such thoughts have been accumulated in their hearts for a long time. Now, in this early spring night, they can finally shout out to their hearts.
Chapter completed!
