As mentioned earlier, Yuanyong, the king of Gaoyang who assisted the government with Yuancha, was prosperous and noble, a meal was worth tens of thousands, there were 6,000 longing servants, 500 handmaidens, and he once fought with Wang Yuanchen of Hejian.

This thigh hug is so good.

Perhaps seeing the relaxation of Yuan Cha after Liu Teng's death, he knew that his general trend had gone, so he invited them to his mansion to discuss the matter of dealing with Yuan Cha when Empress Dowager Hu and Yuan Xu were touring Luoshui in the south.

In the sixth year of Zhengguang (525), Empress Dowager Hu and Yuan Xu staged a coup d'état, relieved Yuan Cha, and Empress Dowager Hu came to the court again and changed Yuan Xiaochang.

Empress Dowager Hu, who was on the verge of the dynasty again, pursued Liu Teng for the title, dug up Liu Teng's grave, scattered his bones, and confiscated his property; Yuancha was demoted to the people, and after that, someone reported that Yuancha and his younger brother Yuanjiao rebelled and died at home.

The henchmen of the two were also dealt with, and the forces dispersed.

After a lot of hardships, the Empress Dowager Hu, who came to the court again, did not take advantage of this opportunity.

Last year (the fifth year of Zhengguang), the Six Towns Uprising broke out.

These "six towns" do not refer to six towns, but are six military towns set up by the Northern Wei Dynasty on the border north of the capital city of Pingcheng (now northeast of Datong, Shanxi), and from west to east are Woye (northeast of present-day Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia), Huaishuo (changed to Shuozhou in 523, southwest of present-day Guyang, Inner Mongolia), Wuchuan (present-day west of Wuchuan County, Inner Mongolia), Fuming (present-day southeast of Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia), Rouxuan (present-day northwest of Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia), and Huaihuang (present-day Zhangbei, Hebei).

Since it is the north of the capital, it is the area of Daidi, and the nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty who still remain in Daidi can be divided into old nobles, and they all have their own views on the "Taihe reform".

There are rumors that the Six Towns Uprising was because these old nobles were far away from the center of power and were dissatisfied with it, and it was also said that it was because the "Taihe Reform" destroyed the original supply system, well, that is, the wealth of the original generals was robbed, and after the reform, like the Han people, they took the same money, and the supplies for these people were not in place, so there was chaos.

According to the bear, there are both of these things.

For the first statement:

Beizhen does not have a state and county, and the people are led by towns and soldiers, and they are called townspeople, mainly Xianbei Tuoba people, and their status is higher. With the expansion of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Han and other ethnic groups were forced to move to the border.

After Emperor Wencheng, prisoners were constantly assigned to garrison the border, and the status of the townspeople declined day by day.

After Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, the political and economic center moved south, and Beizhen lost its important military position.

The nobles of various ethnic groups, including Tuoba, who entered the Central Plains accelerated their sinicization and feudalization, while Beizhen still maintained a tendency to be Xianbei, and the townspeople were called "Fuhu", belonged to the military government, and were hereditary as soldiers, and were not allowed to move. The treatment and promotion of the Xianbei and Xianbei nobles and soldiers in the six towns were not as good as those of the Xianbei nobles in Luoyang. This policy of excluding the Xianbei warriors could also be seen in Luoyang, the capital at that time.

Let's talk about the second statement:

The emperors after the Taihe reform, Gaozu Xiaowen Emperor Yuanhong, Sejong Xuanwu Emperor Yuanke, Suzong Xiaoming Emperor Yuanxu, these three emperors, Yuanhong is the most neat, and then two emperors, one is not as good as one.

The situation brought about by the relaxation of the government is that all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant.

On the essence of the Six Towns:

Even as the ruling class of the town generals, the six towns were only in the middle of the ruling sequence of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and were not the core members of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In terms of marriage, there are many records of intermarriage between the chiefs of the six towns and the Han Haoqiang and the Dai Di Haoqiang, and it is not uncommon for the military towns to be in contact with each other, but it is difficult to marry with the noble class of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Han Gaomen.

In terms of status, the generals of the six towns did not experience great changes in Emperor Xiaowen's relocation to Luo, and basically the original ruling relationship between the generals and the townspeople in the six towns area still maintained.

About Supplies:

After Emperor Taiwu, with the gradual reduction of the war against Rouran, the supply of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the six towns began to change to a blood transfusion mode.

When Emperor Wen was presented, the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the system of renting and losing three grades and nine grades under the condition that the southern conquest was quite fruitful, that is, the system of assessing how much tax should be paid by the number of assets of the household is divided into three grades and nine grades.

As the basis for tax collection, the upper three grades of the Northern Wei Dynasty were imported into Beijing, the middle three grades were imported into other states, and the lower three grades were imported into this state.

In addition to the local tax revenue, there are also supplies from the neighboring six towns and counties and blood transfusions from Jingshi Pingcheng, which basically ensured the supply of the six towns before Emperor Xiaowen moved to Luo.

Before moving to Luo, Emperor Xiaowen, who was worried about the lack of grain in the six towns due to the relocation of the capital, repeatedly issued edicts to increase the implementation of the "three-long system" in the six towns area and the search for hidden households, in an attempt to promote the agricultural development of the six towns area.

Contrary to his wishes, because the marshals in the six towns monopolized the large and small posts in the military towns and formed a common interest relationship through marriages and township relations, the three-chief system, which is based on the principle that "five families are neighbors, five neighbors are the li, and five li is the party," is divided into three chiefs to implement the uniform field, and the interests of the marshal are seriously harmed, and the foundation for the implementation of the system in the six towns is very poor.

About the climate:

The six towns are all in the north of China, no, even northerly.

As we all know, the climate in northern Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, northern Shaanxi, northern Shanxi, and northeast China is relatively cold, and sometimes the sunshine is in the south, and there is occasional snowfall in this area, so it is not so beautiful for animal husbandry, especially in ancient times.

In such an artificially and natural environment, the life of the six towns is actually not good, and it encounters the soothing of the government, the struggle for power and profit in the court, and the charm is rampant.

As mentioned earlier, Liu Teng's exploitation of the six towns is really not much better than Shi Hu's son Shi Di, leaving traces in the wind and plucking the feathers of geese.

But, Liu Teng is like this, although he is ruthless, but he can still bear it, at least Liu Teng is not a Tianyi cat in the six towns, what makes the six towns unbearable is that these town generals.

In the southern towns, the general of the town has no heart to guard against thieves, but only has the intention of gathering trade, and his troops are used to plunder, if he encounters a strong enemy, he will be omitted by the enemy, and if he has all, he will take it as his own wealth.

The weak, the old and the young, were all taken to work as laborers, and they were given real silk, but they were given false corn. Work hard, thin clothes; Use its work, save its food. Over the years, coupled with suffering, those who die from ditch stains are often seven or eight out of ten.

Wu and Chu (here refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River) found out that their food was scarce and their soldiers were tired, and they repeatedly came to invade the territory.

In such an army, the armor is full of worms, but it still consumes thousands of gold every day.

The north side that faces Rouran directly is not much better.

Since Jingming (the year name of Emperor Sejong Xuanwu Yuanke), the northern part has been plagued by droughts year after year, but these disasters and droughts are not all natural disasters, but are actually man-made reasons.

Here, the lord and his subordinates and subordinates occupy fertile land and distribute barren and barren fields to the people, who cannot get enough food from the barren land every year.

The imperial court had a countermeasure to this, allowing the people to expose this kind of bullying, and as a result, more than 100 people came every day, which shows the depth of the accumulation of disadvantages and the difficulties of people's livelihood.

Although it is impossible to list them all, it can also be thought from these that the Northern Wei Dynasty was politically corrupt at this time, the magnates were extravagant, the guards were tyrannical, and the military service was heavy.

Many of the townspeople are from Gaoche and Shanhu, and they keep in touch with the people of their own people who live in Sein.

Shanhu has lived in Fenxi and northern Shaanxi for a long time. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Shanhu included in the household were responsible for renting and transferring labor, and the Shanhu that did not belong to the state and county were still under the jurisdiction of the chieftain, and the Northern Wei Dynasty often forcibly recruited soldiers among them, and sometimes forcibly migrated.

Gaoche is divided into two parts, east and west, and has always retained the tribal organization, living in the area of the six towns and border fortresses, and undertaking military service and Gongna obligations to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Northern Wei Dynasty** appointed the chiefs of Shanhu and Gaoche as chieftains or other official positions to rule over their own people who were not listed as households.

In the place where the town was changed to a state, the chieftain became a local surname, and was promoted by the government, the state and the county. Therefore, they and Luoyang ** have both contradictions and the same interests.

"There is agreement of interests" sentence, please draw the key points, specific, and explain later, oops, the bear is digging a pit again.

Therefore, Dog Bear believes that both of these statements are the reasons for the "Six Towns Uprising".

With the above reasons, these chiefs and local wealthy families took advantage of the turmoil in the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty to take advantage of your illness to kill you! Rebel!

The "Six Towns Uprising" is also called the "Six Towns Rebellion", and the bear feels that it is more practical to call it the "Six Towns Rebellion", and it is a bit far-fetched to call it an uprising.

Well, it took a lot of space to talk about the situation when the Northern Wei Dynasty developed to Emperor Suzong Xiaoming, and it was not crooked this time, and it was really not crooked this time.

After Empress Dowager Hu came to the court, she also suppressed the Six Towns Rebellion, but it had no effect, so she had to turn to Rouran and Kun Yuguo for help.

It's really ironic, Rou Ran has been pressed and beaten by the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now she is begging Rou Ran to help fight the civil strife, how do you say that? Thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.

Speaking aside, Rouran is actually a powerful country, but unfortunately, it has been suppressed by the Northern Wei Dynasty and failed to enter the Central Plains, so in the history of China, there are very few accounts of Rouran, and even now, there are almost no books about Rouran in the bookstore, which is a pity.

sighed to Rouran again, and hurriedly crooked back.

Ning Yan received the letter from the Empress Dowager Hu asking Kun Yuguo for assistance, looked at the letter in surprise and was stunned for a long time, rubbed his eyes, and read it seriously again.

Unbelievably said to Hao Gonggong:

"Wei is in turmoil, and he actually wants us to help! When did the Wei State become so weak! ”

Father-in-law Hao was also surprised:

"Is the civil unrest serious?"

Ning Yan thought for a while:

"The news that came back is a bit serious, but it's ......"

Ningyan thought of Tuoba and Tuoba Tao in his mind:

"If it's those two, it's going to be shocking."
