While reducing the administrative level at the state or provincial level and saving administrative costs, the county system has undoubtedly brought great pressure to the administrative work of the central government. In addition to intellectualization, specialization, and legalization, the civil service system also brought about a sea of documents, which was a heavy mental and physical work in an era when computers were not available and even paper was not widespread.

Because the area of the county is very small, this is inherited from the reality of the small area of the country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and when the 150 counties in the world are concentrated in the central government, even the three emperors are too busy! Even in later generations, when transportation was so convenient and communications were so developed, there were only 23 provinces, 4 municipalities directly under the central government, 2 special administrative regions, and 5 autonomous regions in China.

Therefore, the expansion of the power of the assassin will also help to relieve the administrative pressure of the central government to a certain extent.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the military needs of the assassin history became more and more obvious. Because by the second stage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yellow Turban Army had already been broken up by the official army, and it could no longer organize a strong enough military force to resist the central government, so many Taiping Dao leaders and even Jiangyang thieves and bandits who took the name of Taiping Dao gathered in the mountains and forests, recruited homeless homeless people and green forest heroes who mixed in the rivers and lakes to join the gang, and formed villages to protect themselves, rob the rich and help the poor.

In the face of such a small-scale war, if the central government had to send a large army to exterminate it, the pressure would be too great. The so-called army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. When a large army is mobilized, it is always necessary to prepare weapons and armor, always prepare food and supplies, and always feed the horses in advance. Whether it is a man or a horse, the offerings in wartime are different from those in peacetime, the so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, he is going to fight, and it is not too much to eat a few full meals, right? The horse is going to war, so you need to feed it a little more to make it fat, right? Otherwise, the war will be together, and the feed will be transported to the front line, and the cost will be huge. Otherwise, once the war starts and it is too late to feed the horses, then no matter the casualties on the battlefield, it is not known how many horses will be "non-combat attrition" regardless of the casualties on the battlefield.

Even for a considerable period of time after the advent of tanks, cavalry was still one of the important strategic forces that determined the outcome of the battlefield. In the Han Dynasty, the number of cavalry and the strength of the cavalry all affected the course of the war to a large extent. For example, from the point of view of strategic role, cavalry is quite similar to the strategic bombers of later generations, and all strategic targets within its combat radius are its key targets, so the role of war horses has become more and more prominent.

According to this calculation, if the central government were to organize troops to suppress the Yellow Turban bandits in various localities, the manpower, material resources, and financial resources would be much more than the two large-scale battles between the north and the south last year. Therefore, since the beginning of this year, there has been a voice in the imperial court, saying that the four sides are disturbing, the reason is that the power of the assassin is too light, and it is proposed that the imperial court should strengthen the power of the assassin to deal with the current situation of the remnants of the yellow turbans scattered in various places.

Because the current situation is that each county is in its own way, after the Yellow Turban Thieves are frustrated in one place, they often move to other counties, although they have driven away the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and made meritorious contributions, but the actual damage of the Yellow Turban Army is not much. For example, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan County were defeated by Guo Bin and driven out of Yingchuan County, but this remnants ran to Runan to make trouble. Although Guo Bin has made meritorious contributions, the yellow turban thief did not hurt his muscles and bones!

And if Yingchuan's troops were to cross the border to fight in Runan, it would never be possible. Why? First of all, it is impossible for the Taishou of Runan County to agree. You sent troops to fight across the border, doesn't that mean that I don't have the ability to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves! Besides, I can also organize county soldiers to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, I also have cronies who need to be arranged, and my cronies also need to make meritorious contributions! You are fighting across the border like this, isn't this a credit grab?

Secondly, it is impossible for the Taishou of Yingchuan County to do this, because there is no benefit! First, you have offended the Taishou of Runan County and the large and small wealthy families in Runan County, and hindered the road to promotion, which one has no one behind the county guard? Second, the victory or loss of the war is never certain, you are out of the limelight when you cross the border to pursue, if you win, the court will naturally reward you, but you, a kid who does not follow the rules, will be jealous of the bigwigs in the court, who knows if you want to be Wang Mang or Huo Guang? And once you lose, even if you don't win immediately, the charge of ineffective banditry will be confirmed. Then the person you have offended will come and fall into the well. Officialdom is an official, what is important is that more things are better than less things, and it is capable to grasp the credit that can be held in your hands steadily, so why be willing to take risks to do this "thankless" thing?

Therefore, many of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans now choose to set up camp at the junction of two or several counties, so that when the officers and soldiers of such a county come to suppress the bandits, they can quickly move to the neighboring counties, and when the rumors pass, they can turn to fight again. This kind of guerrilla warfare method of changing places with one shot was used very easily by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, perhaps this is the abuse of guerrilla warfare, right?

And this method of warfare will undoubtedly bring great inconvenience to the imperial court to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and it is clear that they can be completely wiped out if they go forward, but because of the administrative planning and the system of the imperial court, they have to watch them run away. Therefore, it has become an extremely urgent requirement for several counties to join forces to deal with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

But the snake can't be headless, everyone has a common need in the conquest of the remnants of the Yellow Turban, but everyone is the Taishou of 2,000 stones, why are you the commander of the army? Therefore, the ready-made history of thorns entered the eyes of the imperial court. In terms of the area under its jurisdiction alone, the history of the assassin is dozens of times larger than that of the county guard, and the history of the assassin has a strong oppressive force on the county guard on weekdays, and the relationship between the two sides is the relationship between the supervisor and the supervised, and when facing the history of the assassin who can meddle in all the affairs of the county, the Taishou are naturally at a psychological and power disadvantage, so it is appropriate for the assassin to take on the task of exterminating the commander of the Yellow Turban Remnant Theater, and the reason is also ready-made.

First, the history of thorns is familiar to everyone in the local area! As for the political and economic situation of the counties under his jurisdiction, the assassin knows in his heart, and he can also know from which county to collect grain and grass, and from which county to select soldiers. Second, the history of the assassin has a high prestige in the local area. Because he could meddle in the affairs of the county, the power of the assassin was gradually expanding in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Many assassins will be promoted to 2,000 stone high-ranking officials, and the imperial court often sends assassins to lead troops to fight, when Wang Yun used Yuzhou assassin history with Huangfu Song to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army on the South Road, is an example. In addition, the matter of the assassination history does not need to be verified by the officials appointed by the three dukes, so the county guard and the county order are quite afraid of it, and there are even things that are released and abandoned because of the fear of the assassination history. Third, the assassin was familiar with the situation in various localities and could take targeted action in the shortest possible time, so that the officers and troops could quickly form combat effectiveness.

The fourth point is the "correct name" that the Chinese pay special attention to. If the so-called name is not right, it will not go well, and if it is not good, it will not be done. The history of the assassin belongs directly to the central government and has the name of righteousness, and it is justified for the history of the assassin to lead the army in the state. Fifth, the history of assassination is the leader, and there are already precedents. The assassins appointed by the imperial court are all highly trusted by the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, and the officers and soldiers are in their hands, and the imperial court can rest assured.

The sixth, most important and realistic point is that the army of the assassin can raise all the dry food and military funds it spends on the spot, which saves a large amount of expenses of the imperial court. In the eyes of the Han government, which is now in deficit or even depleted, this is a real benefit. It doesn't cost a penny to the imperial court, but it can quickly form an army, form combat effectiveness, appease the place, and maintain the prestige of the Han Dynasty, so why not?

However, there are always two sides to everything, and there are good and bad things in everything. Now in order to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans all over the place, the imperial court is indeed worry-free, and it has done things without spending a penny, but its disadvantages are also obvious. If the imperial court wants to form a new army, commanded by the assassin history, it has to ask for money and food, right? Where does the money come from? Now the people of the Central Plains have just gone through years of drought, and then they were affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it is too late to recuperate, where is the surplus money to be enshrined in the assassin Shi Jianjun?

But the new army can't help but practice, for the assassin history, this is not only a means of appeasement of the place, but also an important opportunity to improve the power in his hands, everyone knows that there are soldiers in their hands, and the waist pole is hard, and even the court has to be careful when talking to you. Since ordinary people have no money, they have to borrow grain from local wealthy families. But how can the grain of the wealthy be so easy to borrow? Whoever has a little fame in the local area, who is not willing to send his children to Beijing to ask for a good background? Who doesn't have a good friend? What's more, the really large-scale and powerful wealthy families, there are countless people who have children who are officials outside, where is it easy to offend?

Since you can't offend, you can only talk to each other. In this way, it gives the wealthy and big families the opportunity to install people in the new army and expand their influence. Therefore, the formation of the new army has actually expanded the political status and military influence of local powers. The so-called Guoheng was destroyed by weakness and Han was destroyed by strength, and the Han Dynasty was strong by local wealthy families, but not by the central government; It is a local separatist force, but it is not a centralized power. As a result, the tail will not fall, political instability, and even the collapse of the dynasty will be expected.

These local tycoons took advantage of the difficulties of the imperial court to do everything possible to expand their power and develop themselves. Now it has begun to sprout, and in a few years, it will be popular to change the state pastor to the history of the thorn, which is bound to become a gluttonous feast for local wealthy families to expand their strength and enhance their influence.

At this time, Zhu Fu, taking advantage of the external troubles of Lin Yiguo, which is close to Jiaozhou, to levy grain and grass and form a new army, did not mean to start earlier and improve his strength. It seems that people of insight from all walks of life are gradually beginning to realize this trend. If you reason from Guo Bin's way of thinking, I am afraid that the system of changing the history of assassination to the state pastor will also be set off step by step by these local heroes who claim to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Bin has to go to Jiaozhou Assassin's Mansion to take a trip. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the possibility of winning a hundred battles, since it is necessary to deal with Lin Yiguo, Zhu Fu's attitude towards Jiaozhou's assassination must be accurately grasped.
