In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a pattern of Yao people's uprising.
Shuyao's rebellion is usually caused by too much government oppression, which is no different from peasant rebellion.
When Shengyao rebelled, he usually went down the mountain to plunder. Just like the nomadic Kou Bian, because the living environment has become harsh, they come to grab money, food, and supplies, which is extremely destructive when they become large-scale.
The Eight Pai Yaos who revolted this time all belonged to the "Shu Yao", that is, the Yao people who have registered as Qi Min and must pay taxes every year.
Liu Xinyu took the Yao people from Qianjiadong to contact the Ba Pai Yao rebel army, and Ba Pai Yao immediately led the troops to join them.
"Brother General Zhang," Liu Xinyu introduced, "These three are the leader of the Youling Pai, the head of Tang Fayin, the leader of Pan Chengyun Pan, and the leader of Fangzhi Renfang. These three are the leader of Nangang Pai, Li Liangyong and Li The leader, Pan Enhao, the leader"
Zhang Tieniu was a little dizzy after hearing the big push, but luckily the names were all normal.
Zhang Tieniu didn't understand what the boss did. After inquiring in detail, he felt that the management mode of these Yao people was very strange.
Ba Pai Yao has a total of eight large settlements and more than 20 small settlements.
If "Pai" is likened to a large village, "Chong" is a small village, and "Dragon" is a small village group.
? Yao people must first elect Yao elders, which is equivalent to electing members of the village self-government committee.
Continue to elect cadres from among these Yao elders. There are Tianchanggong (big leader), Tougong (small leader), Fangshuigong (management of water resources), Temple Master (sacrifice and education), Burning Incense Lord (worshiping incense), and Guanshitou (commanding battles).
Tianchanggong, who will be re-elected once every two years, and Yao Lao will take turns.
?Equivalent to members of the village committee, they take turns serving as the village head, changing every two years.
The leader, the leader, changes every two years, one new and one old.
Equivalent to each village group, there must be two group leaders. Elections are held once every two years, with an old team leader as positive and a new team leader as deputy.
These Yao people not only practice the electoral system, but also practice monogamy.
And it must be a small family. Within one year of the wedding, the young couple must separate.
These more than 30 Yao people's villages had riots, and Tianchanggong (big leader) stayed in the mountains because he was too old. However, many bosses (little bosses) were sent, and Tang Fayin was elected as the temporary boss, leading more than 20,000 Yao soldiers to contact Zhang Tieniu.
Everyone sat down and began to discuss.
Tang Fayin asked directly: "Our Yao people rebelled because the government did not abide by the agreement and collected more and more land taxes every year. May I ask the general, if Zhao Tianwang becomes the emperor, how will the taxes here be collected?"
Zhang Tieniu laughed and said, "You don't believe me when I tell you. You can send people to Jiangxi to inquire about it. Zhao Tianwang's land tax is very light. Last year, there was a severe drought in Jiangxi. He not only reduced taxes, but also distributed food to the victims."
"Does King Zhao have a son?" Tang Fayin asked again.
Zhang Tieniu said, "There is one."
Tang Fayin asked: "Have you ever been married?"
"No." Zhang Tieniu said.
"That's good," Tang Fayin said, "The twenty-fourth Yao people in the eighth row agreed to choose the most beautiful Yao woman to marry the son of Zhao Tianwang. As long as the two parties get married, Ba Paiyao will always be loyal to Zhao Tianwang !"
Zhang Tieniu said with a smile: "I'm afraid the marriage is a bit difficult, Zhao Tianwang's son, I don't know if he will be weaned or not."
As soon as this remark came out, all the leaders of the Yao nationality were astonished.
The Yao nationality does not prohibit intermarriage, at least Ba Pai Yao does not prohibit it.
According to the ballad passed down by mouth in Ba Pai Yao, we can probably guess its source¡ª¡ª
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo led his troops to march south. In order to consolidate the territory, he encouraged the soldiers to marry the locals.
Fang Shiliu, the leader of the Sanmiao Legion in Huainan, married King Pangu (female leader) of the Yao nationality and gave birth to three sons. This is the ancestor of the Fang family of the Yao nationality. Fang Shiliu recruited another son-in-law named Tang Huangbai, who was the ancestor of the Tang family of the Yao nationality.
Moreover, before the intermarriage between the soldiers of the Qin army and the aborigines, Ba Pai Yao was probably in the matrilineal clan era of group marriage.
The leaders of these Ba Pai Yao began to whisper, as if they were discussing what to do.
Suddenly, Tang Fayin asked: "How old is Zhao Tianwang, and how many wives does he have?"
Zhang Tieniu replied: "Not very old, a wife."
Tang Fayin actually bowed his hand and saluted: "General Zhang, the Yao people hope to marry Zhao Tianwang himself."
"I have no control over this, you should send people to Jiangxi." Zhang Tieniu said with a smile.
Tang Fayin nodded and said, "Okay, let's send people to Jiangxi."
from"You eggless coward," Zhang Tieniu ordered, "play the flag!"
Order the flag to wave, and the army retreats.
Li Yingsheng was finally relieved and asked to have the gate of the Wengcheng and the main gate opened.
A soldier entered the urn city to check, came out and said to Zhang Tieniu, "The main gate inside is open."
"Walk!"
Zhang Tieniu walked in with a smile, and Li Yingsheng came down immediately, ready to surrender and offer the city.
Zhang Tieniu led his troops through the Wengcheng and came to the main gate. Li Yingsheng led the officers under his command and knelt down and shouted: "Welcome the general to enter the city!"
"good!"
Zhang Tieniu walked over with a smile, as if he wanted to help Li Yingsheng up, and Li Yingsheng also waited for Zhang Tieniu to help him.
Suddenly, Zhang Tieniu drew his knife and swung it out: "Kill!"
Accepting the surrender is a very complicated matter, and it will take at least several days of tossing.
Moreover, Li Yingsheng was too cautious to let Zhang Tieniu bring only 30 people into the city to accept the surrender.
What would Zhang Tieniu think?
?It must be because my heart is trembling, what if Li Yingsheng suddenly regrets before the surrender is completed?
Instead of trusting Li Yingsheng, it is better to trust the knife in your hand. Although there were only thirty people around him, Zhang Tieniu dared to take the opportunity to seize the city!
Li Yingsheng was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Tieniu slashed out with a single knife, and killed him in a daze.
"kill!"
Wu Yong also drew his knife and hacked another officer to death.
Including Zhang Tieniu, thirty-one soldiers of Zhao Han's personal guard slashed wildly at those kneeling officers.
The standing ones killed the kneeling ones, killing a lot of them in an instant, and the remaining generals turned around and ran away in fright.
Xiong Shikui stood beside him in a daze, completely stupefied.
There are thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, and dozens of rebels dare to kill and seize the city?
Zhang Tieniu really dared to kill, and the officers and soldiers really dared to escape.
Seeing the army outside the city regroup, and seeing his own generals being killed and running wildly, the officers and soldiers on the nearby wall collapsed immediately.
