Chapter 79: The Yellow Turban Uprising (Part 2)

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Yellow Turban Uprising (Second Update)

The class is to teach them, how many people can comprehend how much, it depends on themselves, "Master leads the door to practice in the individual."

Everything in the military academy is new to these people, they never thought that books can be read like this, learning can be done like this, too much knowledge is still beyond this era, even if Lu Bu repeatedly streamlined, replaced it in an easy-to-understand vernacular, a lot of content they still only know but don't know why.

Lu Bu also can't take care of it, it is rare to have a short period of peace, he can study and train to his heart's content, and I am afraid that he will only get busier and busier in the future.

Lu Bu very much hopes that some talents can be produced among these students, even if they are not as versatile as Zhang Liao, it is good to be top-notch in a certain aspect, but according to the course arrangement, they will study for about half a year before they will take the graduation exam, and if they want to find good seedlings, they have to wait patiently.

In 184 A.D., the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of Han Ling, he came in a variety of different expectations. It is already snowing in many places in the north.

On the first day of the seventh year of Guanghe, Taiping Dao, headed by Zhang Jiao, after years of preparation, was the first to cause incidents in various parts of Jizhou. Because Zhang Jiao believed that his Taiping Dao was Tude, and fire gave birth to earth, and it was the Eastern Han Dynasty that should replace Huode, so the rebel soldiers tied yellow scarves on their heads as a memory. This is the famous "Yellow Turban Uprising" in history.

Because Taiping Dao has been planning for a long time, although Zhang Jiao and others revolted in advance, they were still fully prepared, and the Taiping Taoist sect had already mixed into the official mansion. So when they attacked Julu County, they were effortless, and they quickly captured Julu County.

Taiping Dao preached in Jizhou for more than ten years, there were many believers, the news of the incident spread, and the congregants from all over the country responded, everyone tied yellow scarves on their heads, attacked the city, smashed the government, killed officials, and opened warehouses to release grain.

After Zhang Jiao and others captured the county seat, they killed the county commanders, county officials and other officials who were captured, burned the official yamen, and opened a warehouse to release grain. Immediately afterwards, they swept the powerful landlords everywhere indiscriminately, and after conquering their dock forts, they were all killed like killing officials, and their family property was divided.

Within a month, the 36 parties of Taiping Road responded to Zhang Jiao, and all of them rose up at once, covering 28 counties in Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan, and hundreds of thousands of people tied yellow scarves on their heads to participate in the uprising.

Many bandits and grass bandits are mixed in, and they are also under the banner of the Yellow Turban Righteous Army, and there are many mountains and generals of all kinds.

There are also small groups of Taiping Dao believers in Bingzhou, but none of these 36 parties are in Bingzhou, so they are all petty fights, which are not the same as those in the Central Plains.

However, in the Taihang Mountains on the border of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou, there are many bandits, grass bandits, and some poor people who occupy the mountains as kings and raise the banner of the Yellow Turban Army. It covers Yanmen, Daijun, Shanggu, Zhuojun, Zhongshan, Zhending, Changshan, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Zhaoguo, Weijun, Hanoi and other counties.

Among them, the most powerful is Zhang Niujiao, Chu Yan's Black Mountain Army, the rapid development, the nearby small group of rebels have come to vote, as many as hundreds of thousands of people, known as millions, looting everywhere, if the government is in suppression, then hide in the Taihang Mountain and do not come out, for a while, there is nothing to do.

However, it seems that he knows how powerful Lu Bu is, and the Montenegrin army rarely enters Bingzhou and Duliao to attack and harass, and Lu Bu is now busy training troops and running military schools, and he doesn't pay too much attention to them.

Li Su sent news that after the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising reached Luoyang, the government and the opposition were shaken, especially the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army and the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, which were huge, numerous, and fierce, and the officers and troops in various places were defeated.

And Yingchuan and Nanyang are very close to Luoyang, how can Emperor Han Ling not be afraid.

Liu Hong listened to the advice of Empress He and Zhang Rang, and received a letter of recommendation from Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, appointing Yin Hejin of Henan as the general, leading the Yulin Army and the five battalions of the Northern Army to camp in Duting, reorganize equipment, and defend Luoyang.

At the same time, he sent orders to all prefectures and counties to repair weapons, strengthen city defenses, and allow volunteers to be organized in various places to assist the government in suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising.

After He Jin became a general, he suggested to the emperor that Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo and others be used, and Emperor Ling was allowed to play.

Huangfu Song also united many ministers to write a letter, asking the emperor to lift the ban on the party, reactivate the party members, and take out the money in the palace and the horses in the West Garden to reward the soldiers to improve morale.

It is a matter of life and death, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty will be allowed to play, amnesty will be granted to the party, and all those who have been assigned to migrate will be returned. He also asked the ministers of the DPRK and China to donate horses, money, bows and crossbows, and also allowed the descendants of the civil ministers and military generals and the wise men of the people to go to the government for interviews and contribute to the imperial court.

In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty not only handed over all the central forbidden troops to He Jin's command, but also took out his palace property as military salaries, and lifted the party ban for nearly 20 years.

He Jin was also resolute, and he sent Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, to lead the five battalions of the Northern Army to Jizhou to crusade against Zhang Jiaosuo, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

At the same time, he sent the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song to lead the army to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Chenliu County, and sent the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun to lead another army to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County. Zhu Jun recruited Sun Jian from Xiapi as the military commander, and Sun Jian himself recruited 800 soldiers in his hometown to act with the army.

At the same time, he ordered all states and counties in the world to send troops to help, jointly encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban thieves, and assassinate Shi Dingyuan, and the general of Duliao, Lu Bu, received the will of the imperial court.

The general He Jin also secretly contacted Lu Bu through Li Su, hoping that Lu Bu could send elite soldiers who had fallen into the camp to help him suppress the thieves, and there would be rewards in the future.

Lu Bu was also not polite, and put forward his own conditions, first of all, He Jin turned a blind eye to Lu Bu's reform of the military system under his subordinates, tuntian, and grazing, and could not interfere;

Secondly, just after the big battle with the Xianbei people, his vitality was greatly damaged, so he could only send a small group of elites to help him exterminate the Yellow Turban Army;

Third, the imperial court was required to reduce the taxes paid by the prefecture and the Liao, and the share of the central treasury.

As the saying goes, if you are sick and rush to the doctor, He Jin can agree to any conditions as long as Lu Buken sends troops to help suppress him. Whoever made the Yellow Turban Army fierce, the first battle of the officers and troops from all walks of life did not go well.

The officers and soldiers of the Central Committee have lived for a long time, their combat strength has declined, their armaments have been slack, and from top to bottom, they are all proud and underestimate the enemy, and they do not take the Yellow Turban Army in their eyes, and as a result, they all suffer defeats. It is the time when 100,000 people are in a hurry to employ people.

And Lu Bu is known as the "God of War of the Han Dynasty", as long as he is willing to send troops to help suppress it, he can have as many soldiers as he comes, and the camp is known as an invincible army, which has already spread all over the world.

He Jin immediately asked the emperor to issue an edict to exempt the counties of Zhuzhou and Duliao from the money and grain that needed to be handed over for three years. Ding Yuan and Lu Bu were allowed to recruit troops, strengthen the defense of the border fortress, and urge them to send troops to help the imperial court exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves.

Seeing that the benefits were in hand, Lu Bu decided to carry out the flag awarding ceremony and the expedition ceremony that had been delayed again and again.
