The emperor went out to inspect, but there was something extremely wrong everywhere.
The first place where the slave riots took place was a quarry in Wuyang county.
The warden responsible for monitoring the slaves in the quarry was very steady and took the most conservative way. Although six Han people died for hard labor, he prevented the spread of the rebellious slaves to the people. The riot was suppressed by siege.
The second riot took place in Wuyang County, but it took place in the slave camp where the national highway was built. The consequences of this riot were far more serious than those of the quarry. Thirteen guards were killed and injured, as many as 171 people were killed and injured in the riot, and slaves fled to the mountains.
The number of slaves in the riot was about 30000, and only 700 guards guarded them. The people spontaneously participated in the suppression, and only suppressed the riot in just two days. More than 200 people escaped, which was very troublesome.
There were far more people to arrest the escaped slaves than to suppress the riots. To suppress the riots, more than 1000 guards and more than 3000 people were sent out, but 30000 or 40000 people were used to hunt down the escaped slaves and conduct a carpet search for the mountains and forests within a radius of 200 miles.
As the first county where slave riots took place, Wuyang's official documents sent out in duplicate were not sent to the emperor and Chang'an to stay in Jichang's hands. Riots occurred frequently in other places.
The biggest noise was in Yuannan, Wuling county.
Wuling county is one of the grain producing areas in Jingchu, located in the west of Dongting Lake and the upper reaches of the Yuan river.
Since it is the construction of grain producing areas, the number of slaves used must be small. At the same time, it is not scattered like the construction of national roads, but intensive centralized resettlement.
Also at night, there was nothing wrong with being noticed in advance. The riot happened so suddenly, and Han people responded immediately after the riot.
It is the participation of Han people in the riots that makes things more complicated. The number of Han people involved in the riots is not so many. Compared with 50000 slaves, only more than 700 Han people participated in the riots.
"Those are the remnants of the southern gentry who have been dealt with in repeated attacks." Cai you has sorted out the materials, handed them to Ji Chang and said, "some far away are those left by Huan Wen's killing, and some near are those who violate the law and are punished by hard labor."
Huanwen killed many people south of the Yangtze River, and only a few were captured. He killed too hard. He killed a group of people who hindered the stability of rule, but also involved some people who didn't die, leaving a lot of problems and troubles.
"The big man has always had hidden worries in the south. It's good to break out." The news Ji Chang knows is that the number of Han people involved in the rebellion on the other side of Dongting Lake has been increasing, and it has increased to more than 2000 in just one month: "it is a hidden danger that there is no outbreak, not after the outbreak."
As a left behind attendant, Cai you represents the son of heaven.
The Chinese Communist Party ordered Ji Chang to stay behind. He did not have the name of supervising the country, but did the work of supervising the country.
Of course, the center must be left behind, but official documents everywhere are actually in duplicate. One is sent to Chang'an and the other is bound to be sent to the emperor Xingyuan.
"We thought it was the result of castration." A sarcastic expression appeared on Cai you's face: "I didn't expect it to be so simple."
"Shaofu's gunpowder manufacturing base has not been attacked for the time being." Ji Chang also showed a mocking expression. Although he was surprised by what happened, he also felt it was reasonable: "they said they were irrational and dared to do that. However, it can be explained that the big men are far stronger than them at present, and they will have no power to resist in a few years."
That is to say, it has been proved that the frequent riots in the Han Empire are related to various countries, of which Rome and sassanne are the most active.
"The big man wanted to live in peace for a few years, but he couldn't live in peace." Cai you said unhappily: "when the Han Dynasty established the country for the new year, whenever he wanted to deal with and develop internal affairs, he always jumped out of the enemy."
Does that really seem to be the case?
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the Central Committee held a good meeting and decided to temporarily stop the foreign war to concentrate on dealing with internal affairs. As a result, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty took the initiative to launch an offensive.
In the ninth year of Yuanshuo, the center once again decided to focus on the restoration of people's livelihood at home. As a result, Murong Yan state and Tuoba Dai state launched another fierce invasion.
From the ninth year of Yuanshuo to the thirteenth year of Yuanshuo, many people tried their best to change the national policy, and finally let the emperor support to deal with the internal affairs first. This time, in order not to make any moths, they were even willing to let the military take the initiative to find xionnet and xigaoche. As a result, there was a trend of attacking Han all over the world.
"Does your majesty still decide not to return to the capital?" Ji Chang asked, and said in some wonder, "what does your majesty think of such a big thing?"
If there were only a riot in one or two places, it might not have happened.
The problem is that there have been riots, large and small, all over the country, and there are real evidence that it was done by various countries, so the next step must be to respond.
"Your Majesty means to let us handle domestic affairs by ourselves." Cai you said in distress, "let's leave the external affairs alone."
The chief officer and subordinate officials at the general's house went out on patrol, and the top official left was just a waiter.
The official position of the Chamberlain is not low, but he really doesn't have the authority to dispatch troops, let alone issue any orders to overseas troops.
The domestic army and the remaining chamberlains also have no right to mobilize, so the suppression can only be presided over by local prefects or Duwei.
What Cai you can do is to transfer the decision of the center to the emperor Xingyuan.
Ji Chang did something to clean up his hands.
"You said..." Cai you really couldn't help but ask, "did your majesty decide to go on a tour long ago?"
Ji Chang doesn't want to guess. He thinks there are some possibilities, but the possibility is not high.
If Liu Yan had long had insight, how should he respond in advance.
Looking at today's response, all localities have targeted measures only after the riots, which doesn't seem to be arranged in advance.
Again, judging by Liu Yan's character, if you find something in advance, it is impossible not to take necessary measures against those foreigners.
As for what disputes will arise if we arrest or kill foreigners without real evidence, not only Liu Yan, the son of heaven, will not take it seriously, but even the most ordinary people will not think it is a big thing.
"Orders have been issued to the local government." Ji Chang has the right to do those things: "people who are not Chinese should be controlled together."
Still that sentence, no one will think it is a thing to treat foreigners roughly. Usually do not go rough, because there is no need to be rough. If anything happens, it's not the Han people. There are no so-called human rights in the Han Empire.
Cai you said dully, "I hope the military will not be too cruel this time. The big man still needs those slaves."
Ji Chang can only smile at this. He doesn't expect the military to be soft at all. He has already begun to plan what places to choose to make up for the missing labor force.
"It's like this at home, overseas..." Cai you said anxiously, "it's conceivable that it will be more serious."
Ji Chang waved his hand: "you and I are left behind and focus on China."
Cai you said that it was clear that even if the overseas enclaves were lost, they could only call back later. He was worried that the losses were too serious. In particular, he suspected that the military would take this opportunity to fight. In that case, it would be a joke to repair the internal affairs well.
Ah Sanyang, tens of thousands of miles away.
The "Xingyang", one of the gunships, sailed on the rough sea. Captain Liang Mingang just got a report. The lookout found that two ships collided at 45 degrees to the left of the bow.
"One is the ship of the Daqin people, and the other is the ship of the Persians." Xiao Xin is an intelligence officer. He personally reported his discovery to the captain: "they have lit a pillar of distress."
"Such a large sea area can collide." Liang min had no idea of going to the rescue at all. She joked, "are they blind?"
Of course, Xiao Xin would not suggest that the captain go to the rescue.
If one of them is a Han ship, they will not hesitate. They must go to the rescue. They are all foreigners' ships. Whether they save or not depends on their mood.
"This route is very prosperous." Chen Tan was the first mate of the gunboat. After resting, he came to the flagship room. When he heard the news, he asked, "no ship went to save people?"
Anyway, it's not a Han ship. Just talk about it as a new thing.
They soon forgot what had just happened. The watchman reported again that they found that the two ships collided again, but the style of the two ships collided this time belongs to the Han people.
"What happened?" Liang min looked at Xiao Xin and asked, "today's wind and ocean currents are very unusual?"
This is the sea, not a narrow inland river. How careless should it be, or encounter a natural accident beyond human control, so that the two ships collide in such a vast sea area?
Xiao Xin went to a place full of pipes, opened one of the sleeves and asked loudly, "boatswain, check the ocean current data."
Before long, the pipe responded and found no abnormality in the ocean current.
Those pipes lead to all parts of the ship, and the flagship room communicates with people in different positions on the same ship.
The style of the ship is Chinese. Whether the crew on it are Chinese needs to be close enough to see it carefully.
Today, the "Xingyang" had no mission that could not be delayed. Liang min ordered the warship to sail to the location of the accident.
About half an hour later, the "Xingyang" came to the sea area where the accident occurred. It was possible to see two ships with the naked eye. One of them had sunk and let who flooded the deck.
"It's our people." Chen Tan is looking through a telescope: "we don't see much."
For ocean going ships, there are some Han Chinese shipowners who run sea merchants. The shipowners will use foreigners on a large scale. Liang min doesn't have too many ideas and orders to put down the boat.
Liang Min said, "if the one that doesn't sink can be placed, it's best. If there's no way, take our people over."
As for foreigners? It's just that other ships came to rescue. Before other ships came to rescue, they were lucky to hold something that could float. Even if they sank, Xingyang would not take any foreigners on board anyway.
When the "Xingyang" approached within 100 meters, the cheers of the two ships involved in the accident could be heard.
Qin GUI looked at a very aggressive man. He shouted to his companions: "it's coming, don't flinch!"
The twenty or so Han people present had different expressions on their faces, some with tangled faces and some with twitching cheeks.
"After this vote, you will never want to set foot on the Han soil."
"With money, where can't you stay comfortably?"
"If you say that, you feel uncomfortable."
"All killed. Who knows we did it?"
The discussion stopped when the three boats came up. They were either silent or shouted for help or thanks.
More foreigners did not dare to look into the eyes of the Han soldiers on the three boats.
The Han Army did not think much about the appearance of foreigners. Some of their soldiers serving abroad were too used to the fear of foreigners.
"What's your situation?" The person Huang Yi asked was Qin GUI: "can you hit such a big sea?"
Qin GUI said unluckily, "the waves were too big. The ship broke the waves and didn't have time to react, so it was hit by the waist."
As soon as Huang heard it, he didn't say much.
The sea is not the same as inland rivers. When there are strong winds and waves, there is nothing strange about ships sailing below the average sea level.
The sea water was rolled up, and the sea level of the ship fell. Sometimes it could fall by seven or eight meters, and then the waves burst out and suddenly rose above the average level.
If that were the case, it would be bad luck to hit a sudden ship.
"How many Han people are there?" Huang Yi didn't see the abnormality of some people. He thought it was a sudden accident and didn't think much. He got the answer and said, "swim by yourself. In addition, restrict those aliens. Warships only carry their own people, and none of them can go on."
"Nature, nature..." Qin GUI greeted his companions and took the lead in diving into the sea. While swimming, he shouted something in the local dialect he didn't know which side. The translation was: "don't show any abnormality. Don't do it when you get to the warship. The soldiers will certainly put us in the cabin and do it directly when you get to the cabin."
No one of the Han soldiers came to think more. Their duty is to come and save the Han people.
Looking at the ship that won't be silent at all, Hassan saw three small boats constantly rescuing people and said to the people next to him, "God bless us. As expected, there are no other warships following the Xingyang."
Hadisan tried his best to hide his excitement: "I thought I was lucky to get gunpowder. I didn't think it was possible to grab a gun ship!"
