Peasant Revolt in the Late Sui Dynasty

The peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty was a large-scale peasant uprising organized by peasant rebel armies in various places in the late Sui Dynasty to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty carried out extensive construction projects in successive years and continued to use troops. The heavy corvee and military service made the fields barren and the people were in dire straits. People everywhere raised troops to resist, forming a massive nationwide peasant uprising. Twelve years after the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, three powerful rebel armies were formed, namely the Wagang Army in Henan, Dou Jiande's Army in Hebei, and Du Fuwei and Fugong'er's Army in Jianghuai.
