138 1 year, the British peasant anti-feudal uprising led by Walter Taylor. The main leader is John Paul. Uprising mainly occurred in the southeast region where industry and commerce were developed and rural differentiation was fierce. /kloc-in the 0/4th century, the British currency rent was quite popular, and the manor economy collapsed in some places. The personal attachment of serfs is also increasingly relaxed. Commodity-currency relationship goes deep into rural areas. Farmers have been exploited more and their differentiation has intensified. From 1348 to 1349, the black death swept across the country, the population decreased greatly, the countryside was depressed, the labor force was lacking, and wages in various places once rose. Since 1349, the feudal government has promulgated labor laws many times in an attempt to limit wages to the level before the Black Death in order to protect the interests of feudal owners. In addition, the long-term anti-French war, political corruption, judicial malpractice and increasing taxes have brought many sufferings to the working people in urban and rural areas.

In order to resist feudal exploitation and oppression, farmers all over the country kept fighting in various forms, such as refusing to serve hard labor, slacking, and resisting taxes. The poor priest represented by John Paul preached among the masses for a long time before the uprising, and demonstrated that farmers should be equal to feudal nobles with the equality thought of primitive Christianity. The feudal lords arrested him several times and put him in prison. Their propaganda activities reflected and promoted farmers' dissatisfaction and resistance.

138 1 In May, farmers in Essex and Kent refused to pay poll tax and expelled and executed officials. The uprising spread to 25 counties including hereford, Cambridge, Suffolk and Norfolk. Among them, St. Albans is the largest and has been fighting for more than a month. At the beginning of June, the people of Kent Uprising occupied Dartford and maidstone, and elected wat tyler as the leader. On June 10, he arrived in Canterbury and rescued John Paul from prison. On June 12, more than ten thousand people from the uprising in Kent and Essex met in Blacksheath. 13 In June, the uprising people entered the city with the help of the poor in London. King Richard II and some feudal lords hid in the Tower of London, and the uprising people completely controlled the situation. They burned down the houses of feudal lords, opened prisons, released political prisoners and burned manor files. 14 years, the uprising masses and the king negotiated in Melende, northeast London. On behalf of the uprising masses, wat tyler demanded the abolition of serfdom, the pardon of the rebels, the implementation of free trade in China, the elimination of the enslavement of the lords to the people, and the collection of 4 pence per mu of monetary land rent. After the king verbally agreed to these demands, the insurgents rushed into the Tower of London and executed Simon sudbury, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Hills and other feudal lords. On the same day, some rebels, especially those in Essex, were deceived and fled after receiving the king's letter of freedom. On June 15, the uprising people who insisted on fighting again negotiated with the king in Smithfield, north London. They further demanded the abolition of all reactionary laws, the abolition of the power of lords, the deprivation of the distribution of church property by parishioners, and the abolition of serfdom. These demands have a more radical anti-feudal color. During the negotiation, London Mayor Volvos and the king's entourage launched a surprise attack and killed wat tyler. Then hunt down the rebels who have lost their leaders. John Paul was tortured to death. The uprising failed.
