List of rebellions in China - Wikipedia This is an incomplete list of some of the rebellionsrevolts and revolutions that have occurred in China. At the beginning of the Han dynasty, Emperor Gao had made many of his relatives princes of certain sections, about one-third to one-half of the empire. During the reign of Emperor Wenthese princes were still setting their own laws, but they were also casting their own coins albeit with Emperor Wen's approval and collecting their own taxes. Many princes were effectively ignoring the imperial government's authority within their own principalities. Liu Pi, therefore, started a rebellion. Two other principalities agreed to join— Qi modern central Shandong and Jibei modern northwestern Shandong — but neither actually Rebellions and Revolutions: China from the 1880s to 2000. The princes also requested help from the southern independent kingdoms of Donghai modern Zhejiang and Minyue modern Fujianand the powerful northern Xiongnu. Donghai and Minyue sent troops to participate in the campaign, but Xiongnu, after initially promising to do so as well, did not. The seven princes, as part of their political propaganda, claimed that Chao Cuo was aiming to wipe out the principalities, and that they would be satisfied if Chao were executed. In AD 17, Jing Province modern Hubei, Hunanand southern Henan was suffering from a famine that was greatly exacerbated by the corruption and incompetence of Xin officials. The victims of the famine were reduced to consuming wild Rebellions and Revolutions: China from the 1880s to 2000, and even those were in short supply, causing the suffering people to attack each other. Within a few months, 7, to 8, men gathered together under their commands. This carried on for several years, during which they grew to tens of thousands in size. Wang sent messengers issuing pardons in hopes of causing these rebels to disband. Once the messengers returned to the Xin capital Chang'ansome honestly reported that the rebels gathered because the harsh laws made it impossible for them to make a living, and therefore they were forced to rebel. Some, in order to flatter Wang Mang, told him that these were simply evil resistors who needed to be killed, or that this was a temporary phenomenon. Wang listened to those who flattered him and generally relieved those who told the truth from their posts. Wang made no further attempts to pacify the rebels, but instead decided to suppress them by force.
