It can be said without hesitation that the Yellow Turban Rebellion dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Eastern Han Dynasty, whether it was economically, politically, or militarily.

Economically, it conquered cities, opened government warehouses, killed wealthy people, opened warehouses and released grain, and caused a large-scale reduction in the population of the Central Plains, destroying the economy of the Central Plains to a complete mess. In addition, due to the influence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of the Central Plains moved southward on a large scale, and many wealthy families moved south, bringing advanced production tools and a large number of laborers to the south, although the southern region was developed, but it also caused the population of the Central Plains to drop sharply, and agricultural production was seriously damaged.

Militarily, the Yellow Turban Army killed the county commander, fought against the official army, and even almost completed the siege of the eastern capital Luoyang, bringing down the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although it was suppressed in the end, it also exposed the status quo of the official army controlled by the imperial court that was unbearable for a war.

Politically, due to the pacification of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was mostly the troops organized by the wealthy families in various places, especially after the Battle of Gwangjong, the bandits rose up in various places, and the central army had to deal with the rebellion of the Qiang people and deter Gyeonggi, and the local security depended on the private army of the wealthy clans convened by the county guards and county officials in their hands.

The miscellaneous soldiers, government officials, and the tribes of the wealthy clans in various counties and counties undertook the heavy responsibility of maintaining regional law and order, gradually accumulating popular popularity in the local area, and forming the political capital for their rule over the localities. In order to maintain centralized power, maintain local stability, and reduce the central government's financial expenditure, the imperial court has a tacit attitude towards this situation, and will even focus on cultivating local cronies, Guo Bin is the best example.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was only the trigger for this phenomenon, and the reason for this phenomenon was that the powerful and powerful people in various localities had concealed their household registration and land properties for a long time in order to pay less taxes, resulting in a drastic reduction in the central government's fiscal revenue.

This kind of military and political influence made the centralized power of the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually weakened, and the decentralization of power gradually increased, and the branches became strong and weak, and gradually became a big trend. Therefore, to say that Guoheng was destroyed by weakness, and Han independence was destroyed by strength, which refers to the strength of local forces in the last years of the Han Dynasty. In history, whether it is Gongsun Zan or Cao Cao, they can beat the Wuhuan people and wolves, and the fart is full of urine, which is the strong local force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This kind of phenomenon that a country and a dynasty can still be so strong against the surrounding horse-riding nations on the eve of its demise has never appeared in Guo Bin's impression except in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The situation in Jiaozhou is a bit special compared to other states in the world.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang conscripted his son-in-law and Lu Zuo to capture Lingnan, and later Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom. After the dispute between Chu and Han, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo was attached to it and became a vassal state of the Western Han Dynasty. Later, the rebellion of the Nanyue Kingdom was put down by Emperor Wu in 111 BC. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi rebelled, and Emperor Guangwu took Ma Yuan as the general of Fubo, and put down the Lingnan rebellion twice.

It can be said that because of the geographical location and inconvenient transportation, the central government's control over Lingnan is very weak compared to other prefectures. In addition, the Han Dynasty did not have the rule of being an official in a different place, and once a deep-rooted and powerful wealthy clan was formed, Lingnan was facing the danger of splitting and separating the country. In terms of identification with the central government, Lingnan is significantly weaker than other regions.

Before going south, Guo Bin had already received some news from Lingnan that the father-son relationship between Zhu Fu and Zhu Jun could not be concealed no matter what. Moreover, the reason why Zhu Jun was able to serve as the right middle general and control the army of the imperial court during the Yellow Turban Rebellion was because of his qualifications as an official.

At the beginning, the group of thieves in Jiaozhou rose together, and the state pastor and county guard were weak and incompetent, and could not be banned. In addition, Liang Long of Jiaozhi led a crowd of 10,000 people to rebel with Kong Zhi, the Taishou of the South China Sea, and attacked the county.

In the first year of Guanghe (178 AD), the imperial court appointed Zhu Jun as the assassin of Jiaozhou and went to quell the rebellion. Zhu Jun was appointed, returned to the county to inspect the soldiers, transferred the soldiers, got 5,000 people, and went straight to Jiaozhi in two ways. After arriving at the state border, Zhu Jun organized his troops, stationed still, and sent envoys to Nanhai County to inspect the reality and preach Weide, so as to deter the enemy. Then the soldiers of the seven counties were mobilized, and they marched together, and finally killed Lianglong, forcing tens of thousands of people to surrender, and between the ten months, the state and county were pacified. The court rewarded him for meritorious deeds, named him the Marquis of Duting, ate 1,500 households, gave him 50 catties of gold, and recruited him to the court as a counselor.

It is precisely because Zhu Jun has the great merit of quelling the rebellion in Jiaozhou that he is valued by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he can be the commander of the road with his humble background, and finally won the title of the right car cavalry general for his meritorious service in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion. And Zhu Fu was able to serve as the assassin of Jiaozhou, naturally there was a relationship with Zhu Jun in it, Zhu Jun was widely respected in Jiaozhou, and his reputation was extremely prosperous, and the imperial court sent Zhu Fu here, thinking that it was also to suppress the large and small wealthy families in Lingnan.

Guo Bin secretly said in his heart: "Zhu Fu wantonly amassed grain and recruited troops as the assassin of Jiaozhou, to what extent was it to deter the locality, and to what extent did he feel that the emperor was far away and wanted to do a great cause?" ”

As a conspiracy theorist, Guo Bin thinks complicated things as well as bad things. Isn't everything to do for the good and plan for the bad? Therefore, Guo Bin was analyzing the purpose behind Zhu Fu's actions at this time. If he really has the ambition to cut off the alleged king, Guo Bin and his entourage will be a little troublesome when they go south this time.

However, this kind of thought immediately suppressed Guo Bin, it is Zhu Jun's handsome account, he dares to surround it, and he can still be afraid of his son? At the beginning, Zhu Jun had tens of thousands of troops under his account, and he was the commander of the army in name only, with a high and powerful position, Guo Bin dared to lead hundreds of troops to surround his handsome tent and force him to submit, and now Zhu Fu has recruited thousands of villagers in Jiaozhou, how can he look at Guo Bin's eyes? You must know that Guo Bin at this time is no longer the little dick silk when he first arrived in Guijing, two years of life in the Eastern Han Dynasty have made him familiar with the social rules at this time, and more than a year of military career and the ups and downs of the Huan Sea have made him decisive and resolute. At this time, Guo Bin's personality has changed greatly, his mental fortitude, his courage in action, and he has faintly had a bit of a dominant posture, how can he be easily frightened?

Just as Guo Bin was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting something. Originally, Guo Bin could still understand the dialect of Panyu, but this person spoke quickly and urgently, and there were people all around, Guo Bin couldn't understand what this person was talking about. He turned to the guide and said, "What is this man yelling at?" ”

Although the guide is also from the Central Plains, after all, he often comes and goes to Jiaozhou, although the local dialect of Panyu is not smooth, but after all, his hearing is much stronger than Guo Bin, so Guo Bin can understand a lot of local dialect, thanks to his guidance along the way. I saw him frowning and listening carefully, leaning back slightly: "It's too noisy around, and the villain can't really hear it, vaguely seems to be saying who put the grain." ”

"Got the grain?" When Guo Bin frowned and pondered, Zhang Fei had already turned his head and grabbed someone to ask. Guo Bin took a look, it was a coincidence! This person is the young man who was caught by Guo Bin and asked for a while.

When the man saw that it was Guo Bin and his gang again, his shoulders immediately collapsed, and he said with a bitter face: "Uncle, what do you have to order?" The villain still has to beg for food, or this family will be hungry! ”

Seeing this, Guo Bin reached out and took out two strings of five-baht coins threaded with ropes from his arms, and handed them to the man, Fang said: "This eldest brother, when I first arrived in Jiaozhou, I have some things I want to ask. If you answer well, the string of money in your hand is also yours, and there is also food to offer. ”

The man was already stunned, looking at this, I am afraid that this string of five baht coins is not two hundred yuan, which is enough to buy one stone of grain, but he opened his mouth to send two strings. Don't underestimate this stone of grain, if you save a little food, a family of five, ten days and half a month's rations will come out, two strings of money, is at today's sky-high price, a family does not have to work for a month is enough, this merchant is really a big deal!

The man's mind turned, and he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said, "This master, but if you ask, as long as the villain knows, you will definitely know everything, and you will say everything!" ”

When Guo Bin heard this, he was satisfied, stretched out his hand to help him, and said, "Who is this little brother's surname?" Is the ancestor from this Panyu City? I heard you speak extraordinary, have you ever been to school? ”

If you look at it in the future generations, just because of the sentence "know everything, say everything", where is the extraordinary? But if this often appears in TV dramas, if it comes out of the mouth of an ordinary person during the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was generally illiterate, it is really amazing.

Sure enough, I only heard the man say respectfully: "I can't hide it, the villain's surname is Long, and his single name is a Tao character, and there is no table word." Originally a person from Jizhou, due to the disaster in the Central Plains, he went south to beg for a life in his grandfather's portable family. Just because the water in this Panyu is sufficient, the crops grow quickly, and they can harvest two seasons a year, so they live here. It's just that where do you want to get this Jiaozhou harsh government is even worse than the Central Plains, the previous and subsequent assassins are greedy and excessive, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are so heavy that everyone can't lift their heads. Or later, Jia Yuanjun came, and life was better, and the villain was fortunate enough to go to the school to eavesdrop for a few days. ”

Guo Bin led everyone to the side of the road, avoiding the surging crowd, Fang nodded and said, "Although I am in the Central Plains, I have also heard of this. I heard that later, the native people of Jiaozhou gathered troops and caught and killed Zhou Qiao, the assassin appointed by the imperial court, so I think this is why? ”

Long Tao hurriedly said: "Uncle is well-informed, that's right!" Since Zhou Qiao was killed, the imperial court thought that Jiaozhou had rebelled again, so it sent Jia Zhijun to make Jiaozhou's assassination history. ”

Guo Bin said: "I heard that Jia Mengjian comforted the local people of Jiaozhou, so that everyone could settle down, appease the exiles, and restore the endowment. He was also punished as the leader of the cruelty, and the simple officials guarded the counties and counties, and from then on, the people took the streets and alleys to peace. "Jia Cong, the word Meng Jian, a native of Liaocheng, Dongjun, was filial piety at the beginning, and then moved to Jingzhaoling, and served as the history of Jiaozhou, Jizhou, and Duliao. Jia Yuanjun in Long Tao's mouth and Jia Mengjian mentioned by Guo Bin are Jia Cong.

Long Tao suddenly said: "Uncle is not bad at all, that's almost what it means, there was still a nursery rhyme in this Panyu city at that time." said yes: Father Jia came late, so I rebelled first; Seeing Qingping today, I dare not rebel. ”

When Dong Xing'er heard this, she couldn't help but wonder, and said to Guo Bin: "What kind of nursery rhyme is this, it's really simple and direct." ”

Long Tao didn't dare to look up at Dong Xing'er, but lowered his head and echoed: "This girl is right, a vulgar person in the mountains and wilderness, where is there any knowledge." ”

Guo Bin waved his hand and said, "Brother Long doesn't have to be like this, this friend of mine is lively by nature, but there is no malice." He continued: "Later, I heard that Jia Mengjian was recalled by the Son of Heaven to serve as the councilor, and the post of Jiaozhou Assassin was held by Zhu Fu? ”
