The war was still ongoing, and the lives of the common folk in the Zhou Dynasty had become even harder. In the entire southern territories, any county administrator or local strongman with ambition now had their own troops.
With troops came the desire to expand their territories.
The Huang Family of Jinnan City fired the first shot, leading a thousand clan members and three thousand recruited soldiers to take down Jinnan City, and killed the county administrator.
Of course, the reason the Huang Family gave to the outside world was that the county administrator was greedy and corrupt, and the people of Jinnan City were living in such misery that they had no choice but to kill him, yet the city's populace had no intention of rebelling.
In the end, the Imperial Family even recognized the Huang Family's explanation, and they did not appoint a new county administrator. Instead, a deputy took over, and this deputy just so happened to be from the Huang Family.
