Chapter 0196: Atrocities in Youzhou (Four Changes)
At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was in Youzhou, was also instructed by Wang Fu and Wen Ren to start a large-scale expedition to the Northeast Peninsula, which made many officials in Youzhou unable to understand, the place where they were located was a poor place in the cold winter, and they could not occupy it, not to mention that they were so poor, and there was no threat to the Han, what are you going to do when you go out?
Could it be that you, Dong Zhuo, are so brutal that you want to rob these poor ghosts of their money? These poor ghosts are poorer than the beggars of the great men!
Dong Zhuo did not explain to them, gathered more than 4,000 Xiongnu knights under his command, and entered the Northeast Peninsula, this invasion, completely frightened the small countries and those natives on the entire Northeast Peninsula, on weekdays, they were cornered, only then invaded the border of the Han Dynasty, robbed a few county seats, and ran away, for fear of being caught up by the Han army.
What's wrong with this time, the big man used troops against himself? I don't have anything here!
Dong Zhuo broke through some small county towns along the way, he didn't know if this could be regarded as a county seat, it was no different from the villages of the Han Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness of these indigenous soldiers was extremely low, he led more than 4,000 knights to attack completely with knives, but they ran very fast, so Dong Zhuo did not have much gain.
In desperation, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to disperse, and each went to capture the prisoners in a unit, so that the large-scale action of the scattered style had sufficient results, because it was the end of the year, and the heavy snow covered the ground, which was not conducive to the march, Dong Zhuo could only return to Youzhou before the heavy snow completely blocked the road, and when he returned to Youzhou, he brought back nearly 40,000 indigenous prisoners!
For a while, Youzhou was shocked, and even some officials played to the court, accusing Dong Zhuo of such behavior, they thought that Dong Zhuo was purely for fame, for the sake of military achievements, he made such a useless move, this is simply a waste of national strength, to capture some prisoners, and the country has to provide food, what is this? The temple also ignored the recital of the officials in Youzhou.
Hearing that the people attacked Dong Zhuo personally, Dong Zhuo's subsequent actions made these Youzhou officials shut up, because Dong Zhuo let this group of captives start to build a gallop road, starting from Xuansu County, passing through Liaodong, Liaoxi, Beiping, Yuyang, Zhangwu, and directly to the Bohai Sea, which is a one-time connection between Youzhou and Jizhou, which is of great benefit to the development of these two states!
Dong Zhuo especially cherished this opportunity to win a lot of political achievements, he ordered the Huns on both sides of the road to keep an eye on these natives at any time, after simply teaching them how to build, then in the cold winter, they were thrown to Xuansu County, in the cold and freezing, these natives with the most dilapidated tools, trembling began to build the project.
And Dong Zhuo is extremely brutal, for these natives, he is not polite, if there are the old, weak, sick and injured, they will be thrown out to fend for themselves, the rest of the people work from morning to night, every day is also a meager food to fill their stomachs, if they riot, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by Dong Zhuo, such a cold means, let the natives go crazy, the project is also increasing.
All the way was paved with the corpses of the natives, such an act once again aroused the anger of the officials and soldiers of Youzhou, my Han is a state of benevolence and righteousness, how can such a thing happen? For these natives, they also felt compassion in their hearts, and repeatedly went to the temple to demand that Dong Zhuo be removed from his post and that these prisoners, who were almost slaves, be released.
They emphasized three times that such a nameless act is not polite, and the Han should not be like this!
Dong Zhuo where will pay attention to these officials, never saw them, and finally forced those natives to build, with the passage of time, these natives are also skilled in the method of building, did not master, all were pressed under this gallop, for the fear of death, this gallop road was built faster than before, from Xuansu to Liaodong County, 40,000 natives, there were less than 20,000 people left.
In the cold winter, Dong Zhuo wore armor, rode on a horse, and looked at these natives with some concern, he was a little worried, whether these natives were enough for him to build the gallop road to the Bohai Sea, it seemed that it was a little insufficient, but now that the snow is closing the mountain, he has no way to catch the prisoners, and he has never cared about the words of those officials, and the division is unknown?
Then next year, I will find a reason, for example, if a soldier was killed by the natives on the peninsula, through this name, he can still enter the natives, these officials, how about him?
He continued to write a recital to Wen Ren's attack and Wang Fu, showing his political achievements, but in just half a month, he opened up the gallop road from Xuansu to Liaodong, and benefited how many people, under such a premise, what is it to kill some natives? Wang Fu did not reply, but when he heard the attack, he was always covering for him, and he was also speaking for him in the court.
Most of Dong Zhuo's twists and turns were also intercepted by him and did not inform the ministers, but he was not stupid, these twists and turns, he still dedicated them to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven looked at it a few times, frowned, and said: "Such a brutal sentence is violating benevolence and righteousness, and Dong Zhuo is punished for three months!" ”
Hearing that people attacked and gave this order, he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would be frightened, so he wrote a letter to him, asking him to treat these natives well, the Han is not to bully these natives, but to help them civilize, help them establish a ceremonial state, educate them, and let them understand the great principles of Confucianism.
He immediately recruited officials and scholars from Youzhou to teach Chinese characters and culture to these natives, and explained to the officials in Youzhou that he had mistakenly understood the instructions of the temple, and it turned out that the temple wanted to bring these people to teach them Confucian culture, carry forward civilization, let them build Chidao, and also teach them how to work, which was to let them go back in the future, so that they could build their own county seats.
I don't know if these scholars believe it, anyway, Dong Zhuo himself believes it, he ordered the soldiers not to bully these natives at will, and gave them a little more food, Dong Zhuo's change made these natives very grateful, they thought that they would live in hell from now on, who knew that Dong Zhuo also gave them hope.
Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to them again, to preach to them, as long as you can complete the construction project on time, you can all be the people of the Han Dynasty in the future, live in Youzhou, pay less taxes, and live a good life, I sent these officials to teach you, but also to let you understand the truth and so on, through various means, at the beginning of the year of Jianning, Dong Zhuo was already about to build to Liaoxi.
Liaoxi year, January month
Liang Guo Suiyang, the well has Huang Longxian,
Taiwei Qiao Xuan.
The world is sad, Qiao Xuan, as a famous minister nowadays, has countless protégés and former officials, and when Cao Cao, the captain of northern Luoyang, heard the bad news, he cried loudly, his grief was unbearable, he almost fainted, and was praised by the people of the time.
