The iron official system was a system that existed in the Qin Dynasty. The original intention of the Qin Dynasty in setting up the iron official was very simple, which was to monopolize the country's iron tools and improve the strength of military equipment!

Although bronze has been very popular in later generations of Internet culture, there are very few bronze weapons that can actually blow hair and break hair, and they simply do not meet the conditions for mass production.

Therefore, in the duel between bronze weapons and iron weapons, bronze weapons gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and the exquisite bronze swords became the decorative swords worn on the waists of nobles.

Iron weapons, with their advantages of being sharp, strong and easy to manufacture in batches, stand at the absolute top of ancient cold weapon warfare!

Faced with such a sharp weapon, as the successor of the Qin Empire and the ruler of the Han Dynasty, naturally he cannot turn a blind eye!

Naturally, they inherited the iron official system of the Qin Dynasty!

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to equip the Han army for the decisive battle with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu ordered the salt and iron from all over the world to be collected and returned to the official camp, and the private sector was prohibited from doing salt and iron business.

Emperor Wu ordered Dongguo to go to Xianyang, and Kong Wei was appointed as the great agricultural minister to take charge of the salt and iron affairs.

In more than 40 counties such as Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi, Nanyang, Shu, Liaodong, and Lianjingzhao, iron officials were set up, all subordinate to Da Nong, and systematic state-owned management was implemented. Even in areas that did not produce iron,

The counties and counties also have small iron officials.

It can be seen that the importance of iron ore in the Han Dynasty was almost comparable to that of rare earths in later generations!

It is an absolute strategic material!

However, in the Han Dynasty, even though the iron smelting technology had made great progress compared with the pre-Qin period, iron smelting was still a tiring, heavy and dangerous job.

Therefore, in order to save the cost of iron smelting, the imperial court naturally selected the lowest-cost prisoners as the main force in iron production and manufacturing.

And this is the origin of the migration of iron officials during the Han Dynasty.

During the iron official migration, they were a group of people who were deprived of their freedom and were engaged in hard labor in mining, iron smelting, and equipment casting under the supervision of the iron official.

The working environment was even more terrible than today's 1996! It can be said that there is no human rights at all.

Under this high-pressure oppression, many iron official migration rebellions occurred in the Han Dynasty alone.

This is why the Yingchuan Rebellion started.

A prisoner named Shentu Sheng could not stand the oppression of the iron official, so he united more than 180 prisoners to rebel, killed the chief officials, stole soldiers from the treasury, called himself a general, and started a vigorous war.

The great cause of rebellion!

Where has such a battle been seen in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, which has been at peace for decades?

The officials and soldiers of Yingchuan County were all frightened by this extremely ferocious Shen Tu Sheng's rebel army, and for a moment they were unable to fight back.

Upon seeing this, Shentu Sheng and others thought that the officers and soldiers were nothing more than this, and then they gathered a crowd in a short period of time to cause chaos, attracting poor people from all over Yingchuan to join the rebel army.

After their strength grew, Shentu Sheng and other rebel groups who were not involved in production and had no structure, began to wreak havoc crazily in order to maintain their immediate glory, causing disaster to nine counties and turning the entire Yuzhou upside down!

Faced with such a turbulent trend, the imperial court saw that the local county guards and others were unable to stop the rebellion, so naturally they could not sit idly by and do nothing, so this was Wang Yin's next move.

Wang Yin was going to send the Prime Minister Chang Shi, and the Yu Shi Zhong Cheng would lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Seeing this opportunity, Wang Mang naturally could not sit back and wait for the opportunity to flow away, so he took the initiative to recommend himself to Wang Yin and wanted to join the army to suppress the rebellion.

in.

Now Wang Mang has also received Wang Yin's permission, allowing him to join the team that suppressed the Yingchuan rebellion.

Wang Mang was also happy and excited about this, this was a God-given opportunity to gain experience by gold-plating!

Shentu Sheng's Rebellion seems to be huge, but it is just an appearance. He has neither great talents nor construction talents. He can only lead a group of prisoners and refugees, poisoning the place like a plague of locusts, and the killings are more pitiful than them.

And there are still unarmed people.

Later history says that they were an uprising, which is to praise them.

But even so, Wang Mang had to be cautious. After all, he had never experienced a battle. Although he had read a lot about the art of war during this period, the real practice was definitely different from reality.

Therefore, before Wang Yin allowed him to go to Yingchuan, Wang Mang had to find a real boss for advice.

And now the leader of the army that Wang Mang can think of in the huge city of Chang'an is Chen Li.

Although Chen Li is not famous in history, his ability to lead troops and his courage are definitely worthy of mention in Liu Ao's dynasty.

In the second year of Heping reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Wang Xing of Yelang and Wang Yu of Gouding, together with Hou Yu of Luowu, raised their troops to attack each other. The Han Dynasty sent Zhang Kuangzhijie, a senior official in Taizhong, to mediate, but Xing and others refused to listen, and the mediation failed.

This made the Han court, which had always been very face-conscious, suddenly feel ashamed! How dare the little Yelang not give the Han court any face? How can you bear this?

If you endure this, how can you be the leader in the future?

Therefore, after Zhang Kuang's mediation failed, the then Grand Sima Wang Feng, the uncle Wang Mang who died in the first chapter, immediately recommended Chen Li as the prefect of Zangke County and ordered him to handle the Yelang matter.

Chen Li arrived at Zangke and told Yelang Wang Xing, but Xing still refused to obey. He still went his own way and did not give Chen Li any face.

At this time, Chen Li was really reckless! He directly led a dozen people into Yelang Kingdom. When Yelang Wang Xing saw Chen Li coming, he still didn't give Chen Li any face, and actually gave Chen Li a show

Yelang's exclusive large-scale reality show - Yelang is arrogant!

Chen Li summoned Yelang Wang Xing to come to the pavilion with him, but Yelang Wang Xing saw that Chen Li was bringing such a small number of people, so he didn't take it seriously.

As a result, they led as many as 250,000 to 580,000 tribesmen and dozens of tribal kings to the Qitong Pavilion, hoping to impress Chen Li and let Chen Li see the strength of King Yelang.

As a result, Chen Li was not afraid at all. After calling Yelang Wang into his yard, without saying a word, he directly chopped off the head of Yelang Wang Xing with a knife in his hand!

It can be seen from this that the generals of the Han Dynasty are so reckless!

At this time, the subordinates of Yelang Wang Xing outside and the accompanying tribal kings were also frightened by Chen Li's move.

Immediately, the king of a small tribe said: "The general will kill Wujuang and eliminate harm for the people. We are willing to go out and inform the tribe!"

Then the head of Yelang Wang Xing was revealed to the public. Wang Yu of Gouching and Hou Yu of Luowo were shocked and frightened, so they offered corn, thousands of dendrobium, cattle and sheep to comfort the officials and soldiers.

At this point, Chen Li used his own power to cut through the chaos with a sharp knife, ending the Yelang Rebellion, and then returned directly to the county as if nothing had happened.

For such a powerful person, who had such a glorious moment as a celebrity thanks to the favor of the Wang family, if Wang Mang went to ask him for advice, he would definitely not ignore Wang Mang.

Therefore, after Wang Mang left Wang Yin's mansion, he ordered people to prepare gifts. The next day, he would go to Chen Li's mansion in person to see Chen Li, ask for advice on military tactics, and see if there was any available method for this incident.
