Chapter 19: The Scholars Return to Yuan's Origin
"The Han fortune is coming to an end, the great sage is out, you are obedient to the sky, and the world is auspicious."
Although Zhang Jiao has already controlled Julu, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city cannot all be his followers, Zhang Jiao issued an announcement as soon as possible to appease the people.
As long as the word Jiazi is written on the door, all are Taiping believers and must not be bullied.
Coupled with Zhang Jiao's reputation in Julu City, the panic of the ordinary people in the city did not last long, and soon the word Jiazi was written on the door of every house.
Some don't know how to write, and they specially invite someone to write it.
In addition to grain and grass supplies, Zhang Jiao's other preparations were very sufficient.
Now that the bow has been fired, many things are going on in an orderly manner, and one after another orders are issued from Zhang Jiao's hands, and then they are sent to the states and counties by people and horses.
Zhang Jiao's side is moving fast, and He Jin is not slow to take Tang Zhou.
As soon as He Jin arrived in Luoyang, he immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Then the forbidden army began to hunt down Taiping Taoists in the city.
With Tang Zhou, a traitor, leading the way, the Taiping Dao believers in Luoyang City were almost wiped out, and Ma Yuanyi was also beheaded for public display.
The officials in Luoyang City who were involved in Taiping Road were almost all dismissed.
But Feng Xu, who was deeply involved with Taiping Dao, was only reprimanded for twenty because of the emperor's favor.
After the Taiping Dao forces in Luoyang City were cleared, they soon received urgent reports from the county guards in various places.
Yuzhou - The Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai Bocai led 100,000 thieves to attack Runan!
Jingzhou - Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, led 100,000 thieves to besiege Nanyang!
Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou......
The battle reports from all over the country flew into the imperial city like snowflakes.
As the emperor, Liu Hong, with the help of the eunuchs many years ago, after getting rid of Dou Wu, he favored the eunuchs and had a family, and he was very slack about the government.
But he also knew that the situation was critical now, and he was now crowned as a general, and he was fully responsible for the extermination of traitors.
After He Jin sat on the position of general, he immediately recruited staff members and rewarded his subordinates.
And the first task of these staff members is to make a plan to eliminate the Yellow Turbans.
Facing the Yellow Turban Army in full swing, He Jin knew that he wanted to sit firmly in the position of general, and this battle must be fought well.
He Jin was originally a butcher's family, and although he had been a taishou for many years, he really couldn't come up with an effective strategy in a short period of time, so he could only rely on his newly recruited staff.
Yuan Shao - the son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, kept filial piety for six years, and is a model for today's scholars.
At the beginning, Liu Hong initiated the party, but Yuan Shao happened to avoid filial piety, and at this moment he has become He Jin's chief staff.
Yuan Shao said: "There are many Yellow Turban thieves, from the county town to the pavilion, there are Yellow Turban thieves and dogs, if you want to extinguish them, with my current 100,000 soldiers, there is no way in a short time." Unless the party is relieved, let the rural party members recruit village warriors on their own to exterminate the small group of yellow turban thieves in the mountains and wilderness.
The DPRK and China raised another three-way army, namely Jing, Henan, and Hebei, which were the most important of the bandits' forces, and should be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”
"It's simple to raise a three-way army, but to lift the party, I'm afraid the emperor will be difficult to agree." He Jin frowned.
Yuan Shao said: "At this time, it is already the time for the survival of my Han Dynasty, if the party is not lifted, how can those mountain and yellow turban thieves be removed?" ”
"General, if you want to completely eradicate the Yellow Turban thieves, the party must be lifted and the opposition party can be activated." Wang Yun and others seconded.
Most of the party members are people from the scholars' families, just because they lost the battle with the eunuchs, they were executed by the emperor, and the dismissal was even implicated in their family protégés.
"General, after so many years, most of the original group of party members have already grown old, and their family protégés are not at fault, but the imperial court has cut off their path to promotion.
Now that Zhang Jiao has gathered a crowd to rebel, if he does not pardon them, I am afraid that many of them will join the traitors, and the Yellow Turban thieves will become stronger and stronger, and it will be difficult to exterminate. Yuan Shao said.
"You wait here, let me enter the palace to face the saint." He Jindao.
He Jin hurriedly entered the palace, and Yuan Shao and other staff members waited in the general's mansion.
Wang Yun said: "If the emperor can be relieved of the party this time, it should be the first credit." ”
Yuan Shao said: "The party members are all loyal and righteous people, but unfortunately they were persecuted by the eunuchs, and they only hated that I was in the period of filial piety and could not help them." ”
Wang Yun said: "It is enough to have this heart in the first place. ”
Most of the staff recruited by He Jin were children of the scholar clan, and they were inextricably linked to the party members who were imprisoned at the beginning.
Yuan Shao was able to propose to lift the party at this time, and in their hearts, Yuan Shao was indeed worthy of the name of the son of the Yuan family, and his good impression of Yuan Shao was greatly improved.
Two hours later, General He Jin returned to the General's Mansion with a happy face.
"The emperor has agreed to dissolve the party, and the opposition party members can recruit the villagers to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves on their own, and then they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. In addition, tomorrow will decide who will command the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves. ”
He Jin was very excited, as long as the Yellow Turban Army was wiped out, his position as a general would be secured.
And this time, the emperor was relieved of the party, and the relationship between him and the Shi family was also taken a step further.
It won't be long before the Shi family will be in a Nanyang He family in many places, instead of the current butcher's house.
Giant deer!
Zhang Jiao has occupied the original Taishou Mansion and changed it to the Tiangong General's Mansion.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao was in the house, looking at the good news sent from all over the country, and his heart was relaxed, as if he had seen himself in a leather dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair.
Jingzhou victory, Qingzhou victory, and state victory, Youzhou victory, Jizhou has almost all fallen under his control.
The huge Han Dynasty seems to have changed its owner overnight.
"Tang Zhou, even if you betray me, I will conform to the will of the people and return to the heart of the world." Zhang Jiaoxin said, he didn't expect that he could lay a huge country in a hurry.
"The rivers and mountains of this big man are like paper paste, and they will be broken when you stab them. Do you say yes and no? Zhang Jiao looked at Zhao Hui, his heart full of achievements.
You say I'm going to fail, but I'm just one step away from success right now.
The oppression of the government, coupled with natural disasters, and the people's livelihood, in this case, as long as someone stands up, they can immediately gain the support of a large number of people.
Even if it is not Zhang Jiao, if it is replaced by another person, it may not have such a big impact as Zhang Jiao, but it is not a problem to disturb a state.
Zhao Hui looked at the dizzy Zhang Jiao, knowing that the other party had been driven crazy by the constant good news.
thought that the Han Dynasty was weak and could be bullied, and he could overthrow it with his million unclothed Yellow Turban Army.
Zhao Hui said: "I have received news that the Han Emperor has lifted the party and ordered the rural party to recruit the villagers to resist on their own. ”
Zhang Jiao didn't care: "A group of villagers, why worry? ”
didn't know that his Yellow Turban Army was just a group of bitter people who couldn't eat.
And those party members are not comparable to the big and small leaders under him.
Whether it is knowledge or quality, the two are not at the same level at all.
If the party really gathered the villagers, it would be difficult for those small groups of Yellow Turban troops to survive.
