One hundred and ninety-nine new officials take office

After winning a battle and controlling the situation in Linqu County, Guo Peng announced a recruitment order in Linqu.

Within a few days, Guo Peng's army was joined by more than 1,800 strong men, and after enriching the troops, Guo Peng led the army to Linzi.

On the sixth day of October, Guo Peng led his army to exterminate a group of rogue bandits on the way, and arrived in Linzi County with more than 40,000 captured Yellow Turban men and women.

Under the greeting of the county order, he entered the Thorn Mansion in the city, officially announced the appointment document of the imperial court, publicized his status, and began to govern Qingzhou.

Before arriving, Guo Peng had already discussed a lot of things with his staff about governing Qingzhou.

The first thing Guo Peng did when he took office was to hang the heads of the 36 leaders of the Yellow Turban Army who had been killed on the gate of Linqu County.

He wants to declare to the people of the county and even the entire Qingzhou that he has zero tolerance for the Yellow Turban rebellion, and his determination to defeat the enemy.

At the same time, Guo Peng announced the pardon order.

Those who take the initiative to come to confess their guilt are not to be held accountable, and those who are willing to join the army may also be incorporated into the army.

Dismiss the farmer on the spot, and promise that he will never settle accounts after the autumn as a thorn in the history, as if this incident had not happened.

Then, Guo Peng announced that he would conduct a unified investigation of the six counties in the territory of Qi State, and in addition to Linzi County and Linqu County, four superintendents would be sent to inspect the situation in each county.

If there are Taiping Taoist activities in the territory and the county magistrate cannot stop them, they will all be exempted, and if there is no yellow turban rebellion in the territory, they will be rewarded.

After more than ten days of investigation, by the end of October, Guo Peng determined that in the four counties, except for Xi'an County, there were no Taiping Taoist activities, and the other three counties had Taiping Taoist activities.

So Guo Peng immediately went to the table to exempt the county magistrates and county lieutenants of the three counties of Changguo County, Guangxian County and Banyang County, and ordered to praise the merits of the county magistrate of Xi'an County, which is a typical tree.

Then the above table asked Guo Rui to be the county commander of Changguo County, Xizhong to be the county commander of Guangxian County, and Xiahoudun to be the county commander of Banyang County.

They stationed 1,000 troops in each of the three counties to investigate and capture the Taiping Daoists, and sent a team of grassroots administrative talents brought from Guo's Manor and Shanggu County for them to use, restore the chaotic order, and then officially issued an order to recruit displaced people to Tuntian under the comprehensive arrangement of Zaoyi.

More than 40,000 men and women in the Yellow Turban are the first batch of laborers who will be used to use the tuntian, and the ownerless wasteland and government land in the territory of Qi will be concentrated for the use of tuntian.

Guo Peng vigorously implemented the extermination order of Taiping Dao in the territory of Qi State, and at the same time recruited sixteen local scholars to serve in the Assassin Mansion for the six counties of Qi State.

At the same time, Guo Peng and Cai Yong announced together that in the reopening of the school palace in the Qi Kingdom, the great Confucian Cai Yong officially gave apprenticeship in the Qi State School Palace, and called on the scholars to study together.

A few orders, especially the last one after the news of reopening the school palace and using the great Confucian Cai Yong as the school palace sacrificial wine, where the news spread, the scholars were very excited and ran to Linzi one after another.

After Guo Peng's investigation for a period of time, it was determined that the current Qingzhou had not been fully captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and Qingzhou was not too dilapidated at this time.

This wave of Yellow Turban Army first originated in Xuzhou.

After the Xuzhou Rebellion, Tao Qian suppressed it with an iron fist in Xuzhou, and used the Danyang soldiers led by his villager Cao Bao and the Taishan man Zang Ba to lead the troops, and soon drove the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou to Qingzhou in a structured manner.

Tao Qian was very bad and a chicken thief, and knew that it was very tiring and difficult to completely destroy the Yellow Turban Army, so he led the disaster to the east and drove the Yellow Turban Army to Qingzhou.

So Xuzhou was stable, and Beihai and Donglai County, which were close to Xuzhou, were the first to suffer, and the local yellow scarves in Qingzhou also corresponded, expanding their power to Le'an and Qi, and Jinan and Pingyuan County were not affected.

In history, the disaster of Qingxu and Yellow Turbans was very large, and it was not until the Jian'an period that Cao Cao pacified Yuan Shao and prepared to go south to Jingzhou The year before it was completely pacified.

The whole of Qingzhou and most of Xuzhou were within the influence of the Yellow Turban Army, and many Qingxu people were forced to cross the sea to take refuge in Liaodong, and the number recorded in history was close to one million.

And now, at the moment of Guo Peng's arrival, the Yellow Turban Army has gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou, but it has not yet formed a momentum of comprehensive suppression of the official army.

Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County have been seriously affected by the Yellow Turban Army, but there are still officers and troops resisting, and the progress of the Yellow Turban Army is not so smooth.

After Guo Peng led his army to arrive, he expelled the Yellow Turban Army from the Qi State, and the Yellow Turban Army's forces were entrenched in Le'an State, Beihai State, and Donglai County.

It is said that there are some leaders in this batch of Yellow Turban Army, with heads and faces, and the more famous ones are called Guan Cheng, Guan Hai, Xu He, and Sima Ju.

They led their respective Yellow Turban Army to entrench in various parts of Le'an and Donglai in Beihai, and fought against the government, but the government could not stop it, and many counties were even under their control.

But that doesn't mean that a place without the Yellow Turbans is safe.

Because of the impact of sea invasion, drought, and locust plagues, and the Han government did not carry out disaster relief, it has caused many displaced people, and even many heroes have gone bankrupt, so Qingzhou has become a hotbed for the development of the Yellow Turban Army.

So much so that the leaders of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were able to fight many large-scale battles with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Tao Qian.

While distributing materials and arranging tuntian in the Qi State, Guo Peng sought money and grain from Jinan and Pingyuan County.

Guo Peng is not a state pastor, and he does not have the power to fully control Qingzhou at present.

Although it is actually close to the authority of the state pastor, after all, it is not yet possible to ask for it in name.

If you see who is unhappy, you have to go to the table and go through a process before you can be dismissed or appointed, instead of ordering the dismissal yourself.

So he just sought money and food to help him pacify the Yellow Turban Army.

The minister of Jinan, who succeeded Cao Cao, was also a member of the eunuch group, and after the turmoil in the court, this guy packed up and ran away, and there was no one to govern the turmoil in the court for a few months.

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Peng did not have anyone suitable to be the minister of state, so he decided not to express it for the time being, and decided to personally act as the minister of state in Jinan, and then he played Mi Zhu as the county magistrate of Dongpingling County.

On the one hand, Mi Zhu was equipped with a self-trained administrative team, and then sent him to Dongpingling County to formally exercise his powers and exercise.

Mi Zhu came to rendezvous when Guo Peng was staying in Taishan County, and brought a large number of ploughing cattle and war horses to support Guo Peng, and cooperate with Guo Peng's upcoming Tuntian policy.

This time, in order to thank Mi Zhu for his help, Guo Peng sought the identity of a county magistrate for him, a Qianshi official.

Mi Zhu was grateful to Guo Peng, and immediately took Guo Peng to prepare a well-matched administrative team for him to Dongpingling County, vowing to straighten out Dongpingling for Guo Peng in the shortest possible time, and then cooperate with Guo Peng to recruit displaced people to Tuntian.

Then, Mi Zhu cautiously made a request.

Mi Zhu said that he had a little sister in his family, who was twenty-eight years old and unmarried, and he wanted to dedicate his sister to Guo Peng, be Guo Peng's concubine, and serve Guo Peng to thank Guo Peng for his kindness.
