Chapter 405: The Desire of the People
When Yang Gon chose to stay, his fate was already doomed, but to Yang Gon's own relief, he did not die by suicide, but died on the battlefield.
Zhang Jiao deeply admired Yang Gon's loyalty, so after breaking through the inner city, he reached the order of capture, but he didn't expect this move to make Yang Gon famous for a hundred years.
The first to discover Yang Gon was Zhu Yuanzhang, in the face of the heavy siege of the enemy, Yang Gon launched a suicidal charge against the Yellow Turban in the spirit of killing one and earning one, and rode alone in the direction where Zhang Jiao was located.
Because of the order of this horn, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally restrained, but Yang Gon became more and more happy.
In the end, Yang Gon, who was nearly sixty years old, dragged his tired body from the inner city into the outer city, and no one could stop him head-on.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he really couldn't believe that Yang Gon was a sixty-year-old man.
If Yang Gon is allowed to kill like this, it may really be possible to rush to Zhang Jiao's place, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take action in person.
Even in the face of Yang Gon, an extremely tired veteran, Zhu Yuanzhang did not face it alone, but cautiously chose to join forces with Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng, preparing to capture Yang Gon alive in one fell swoop.
But the final outcome was beyond everyone's expectations, Zhu Yuanzhang's three generals not only failed to capture Yang Gon alive, but Yang Gon seized the opportunity to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive.
That's right, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was captured by life, and he is also a veteran, which has also become the biggest shame of Zhu Yuanzhang in this life.
After Yang Gunsheng captured Zhu Yuanzhang, he took Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage and fled all the way to the place where Zhang Jiao was, wanting to kill Zhang Jiao alone, which had almost no chance of success.
Yang Gon can live until now because Zhang Jiao issued an order to capture him, and he was able to single-handedly challenge Zhu Yuanzhang's three generals, also by virtue of his life-fighting style.
Therefore, it is a complete miracle that Yang Gon was able to come all the way to Zhang Jiao under the condition of making his own decisions.
But if you want to kill Zhang Jiao, not to mention Xiang Yulong and other generals, it is any of the two guards of Dian Wei and Xu Ding, and the tired Yang Gon cannot be an opponent.
Yang Gon naturally knew that it was impossible to kill Zhang Jiao, but he still resolutely rode towards Zhang Jiao alone.
In the end, under the witness of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people, Yang Gon was directly killed by 10,000 arrows on the way to charge.
The order to release the arrows was naturally given by Zhang Jiao, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was spared a way out by Yang Gon, was extremely complicated when he saw Yang Gon who was full of arrows.
After seeing Zhang Jiao, Zhu Yuanzhang had no use value, Yang Gon originally wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was about to start, Zhu Yuanzhang's words before his death made Yang Gon change his mind.
In front of the army, Yang Gon stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's back, and when he was about to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he only heard Zhu Yuanzhang unwillingly: "I swear to the great sage and good teacher that I will fight for the people of the world for the rest of my life, but I want to die like this, I am really unwilling." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words didn't seem to have touched which string in Yang Gon's heart, and finally made Yang Gon change his attention.
"Let's go." Yang Gon let go of his foot and said indifferently.
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes nervously and asked carefully, "Won't you kill me?" ”
Yang Gon's eyes were full of murder, and he said coldly: "Say that before the old man changes his mind, get out of here." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was relieved, dared to stay longer, but he didn't run two steps but was stopped by Yang Gon.
"Wait."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around with difficulty, and said with some despair: "Old general, you regretted it so quickly?" ”
Yang Gon stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said coldly: "Boy, remember what you said, if you break your promise one day, the old man will definitely turn into a ghost and return and drag you into hell." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva and said seriously: "I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will never break my oath." ”
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang was also afraid, if it weren't for that sentence, he would definitely be in a different place.
Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has never taken the initiative to fight with others in person.
Yang Gon died in front of the Yellow Turban and the people of Luoyang in a tragic way, and his deeds soon spread all over the world.
30,000 lone soldiers fought in a lonely city, facing a 700,000 siege army, but they brutally defeated the 100,000 Yellow Turban army.
Such a record of defending the city is simply a miracle.
Although Yang Gon's death did not cause any obstacle to the Yellow Turban, it strengthened the confidence of the diehard members of the Han family.
Yang Gon's achievements, coupled with his tragic death, finally made his deeds famous and praised by future generations.
However, the ridiculous thing is that Yang Gon, a loyal minister who died in the tragic battle for the Han Dynasty, was not posthumously given a nickname by the imperial court.
As for the reason, it is naturally because of the obstruction of the ten permanent servants, and this also makes everyone in the world disappointed.
On the third day after Yang Gon's death, another major event caused a sensation in the world, that is, Zhang Jiao officially announced the implementation of the "Heavenly Country Farmland System".
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Land annexation is also a big problem in the Han states, and as soon as the Yellow Turban's "Heavenly Country and Acre System" came out, it can be said that it directly broke the sky.
How to implement the "Heavenly Country Acres System", to put it bluntly, is to unconditionally confiscate the land in the hands of the family, and then distribute it to the local people according to the population.
The family holds most of the arable land in the world, and if it is a peaceful redemption, the Yellow Turban will not be able to take out so much money, so it can only be forcibly expropriated.
If you expropriate other people's land and don't compensate them, this is no different from digging up other people's ancestral graves, how can the family agree?
In the past, whenever the yellow scarves went to a place, they only targeted the scum of the family, so they almost offended the world's families.
Moreover, the current "Heavenly Country Fields and Mu System", whether it is a family for good or evil, even those who support the Yellow Turban are also included, which is directly aimed at all the families in the world, and the two sides no longer have the slightest room for maneuver.
Sure enough, as soon as the new land policy came out, the families under the Yellow Turban basically collectively opposed and united against the Yellow Turban policy.
The yellow scarves are basically from poor backgrounds, and most of them hate the rich, so their attitude towards the family has never softened.
What followed was naturally another bloody storm that swept the entire Kanto and Sizhou.
The family cried again, and the people wept too, but one cried bitterly, and the other cried with joy.
The people have worked hard all their lives, and they may not be able to get their own land, but now Zhang Jiao took the initiative to give it to them, this kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, so the people have a faint tendency to praise Zhang Jiao as a saint.
Ordinary people are grateful, and who is good to them, they know psychologically.
Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for the people to even have enough to eat, let alone obtain land, and they also had to suffer from the oppression of corrupt officials and families.
Under the rule of the Yellow Turban, although life is still difficult, the people have hope, and now as soon as the "Heavenly Land and Mu System" comes out, the hearts of the people in the world have basically turned to the Yellow Turban.
Today's Han is basically fighting against the people of the world.
