When they heard that there was still land outside the Seychelles, everyone was very happy. Now that the drought has passed, most people are probably looking forward to returning to their hometowns, continuing to farm, and starting a new life. However, this is by no means the end of the 150,000 Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City, not only Chu Yan understands, but the top management of the Yellow Turban Army understands, and most of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers must also understand.

Because they are traitors, which is a heinous sin.

In ancient China, when the emperor ascended the throne, changed the name of the year, established the queen, established the crown prince and other palaces, or encountered great natural disasters, he often issued a pardon decree, usually pardoned a group of criminals, this kind of behavior is called amnesty in the world. It means not to blame the past, to no longer pursue the problems of the past, and to give a new opportunity to start over. This is one of the important means for the Son of Heaven to sell the world well and win people's hearts.

However, amnesty is not one-size-fits-all, and it is limited and cannot be generalized. Most of the political prisoners who rebelled, bullied the monarch, and fought against the imperial power were not pardoned, and in today's parlance, these people are "on the wrong side".

Specifically, the so-called "ten evils" are neither "eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, cheating, and stealing" as some people now believe, nor is it what Buddhism says: "The cause of sin is the body, mouth, and mind." Bad karma: killing, stealing, fornication; Bad karma: false speech, double tongue, evil mouth, gossip; Bad karma: jealousy, anger, and contempt. It is for the ten evils, and to receive the retribution for evil sins. Repent now. ”

At this time, although Buddhism had been established for hundreds of years and was introduced to China during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, it was only spread among a very small number of people, and it was rarely seen in the classics at this time. Therefore, the "ten evils" mentioned in Buddhism are completely different from this.

In China's ancient feudal criminal law system, there is also the name of "ten evils", which was developed on the basis of the crime of "great rebellion and disrespect" in the Western Han Dynasty. In the 12 articles of "Qi Law", there are: "Ten felonies: one is rebellion, two is great rebellion, three is rebellion, four is surrender, five is evil rebellion, six is disrespect, seven is disrespect, eight is unfilial piety, nine is unrighteousness, and ten is civil strife." Those who commit these ten are not within the limit of the eight discussions. This is the original so-called "Ten Evils".

In the Sui Dynasty, with the increasing prosperity of Buddhism, the ten evils mentioned in Buddhism were also introduced into the law. The so-called legal principle is nothing more than human feelings, and this is an excellent embodiment. Because the law is based on the morality that most people in society abide by and agree with, it is a common code of conduct. People refer to the code of conduct that clearly does not cause harm to others as morality; The norms that can cause harm to others and obstruct public order are called laws. As a simple example, spitting is immoral, and killing people at will is against the law.

Because the customs are different from place to place, their morals and laws are also different. In India, the status of the cow is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the totem of the Indians. It is said that cattle can go on high speeds, which is normal in Indians and is undoubtedly strictly forbidden in other countries. This is the difference in legal systems caused by different social environments and customs.

In China, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the "Kaihuang Law" and the Tang Dynasty's "Tang Law Shu Yi" further revised it that the "heinous" crime was formally formed.

Its contents mainly include: "1. Rebellion. Refers to an attempt to overthrow the government, which has always been regarded as the first of the ten evils. 2. Seek great rebellion. It refers to the destruction of the royal family's temples, mausoleums, and palaces. 3. Rebellion. Refers to betrayal of the imperial court. 4. Evil rebellion. It refers to the beating and murder of grandparents, parents, uncles, etc. 5. No. Alleged homicide of 3 people and dismemberment of a family other than capital crimes. 6. Great disrespect. It refers to offending the dignity of the imperial family. It was usually for stealing the emperor's sacrificial utensils and the emperor's daily necessities, forging imperial medicines, and mistakenly violating food fasts. 7. Unfilial piety. It refers to unfilial grandparents, parents, or marrying, having fun, etc. during the period of filial piety. 8. Discord. That is, the murder of certain relatives, or the beating of a woman, the accusation of her husband, etc. 9. Injustice. It refers to officials killing each other, soldiers killing superiors, students killing teachers, and women not mourning or remarrying when they hear about their husbands' death. 10. Civil strife. Adultery or rape between relatives, etc. ”

The so-called ten evils directly endangered the core of the feudal autocracy system - monarchy, patriarchy, divine right and husband's power, so the feudal codes of all dynasties regarded it as an unforgivable serious crime, the so-called "pardon without forgiveness".

The core of the feudal autocracy system evolved from the Zhou rites, which had been widely recognized since the Zhou Dynasty, emphasizing order. The so-called elder and young are orderly, and respect and humility are orderly. Kong Qiu said: "The monarch and the minister, the father and the son. It means: "Be like a king, be like a courtier, be like a father, be like a son, be like a son." ”

To put it more clearly and simply, everyone has to find their place and then act according to etiquette. Therefore, if it is said that the army is the shackles of the feudal ruling class to control people's bodies, then the etiquette system is the shackles that control people's thoughts. When everybody thinks it's wrong for a widow to remarry, it's wrong. So, sometimes the law can also affect morality in reverse.

Later, Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty simplified it and became the "three outlines", namely: "the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife." In this way, a whole system is theoretically given to the whole society, and this system becomes a sharp weapon to help the ruling class maintain social order, and is the fundamental system of society, so that it cannot be tolerated by others.

Acts that directly challenge this fundamental system are called the "Ten Evils", and if they are not forgiven, they must die. Therefore, when he was outside the Changshe City, Zhu Jun wanted to kill all the 200,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, which was legally valid. And if Guo Bin hadn't intervened, the 150,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City would probably have ended up like this.

Therefore, when the official army attacked the city with 30 stone throwers in the morning, the Yellow Turban army in the city really thought that they had no other way to retreat except death. Just when everyone was disheartened and wanted to defend Guangzong City and fight one by one, Guo Bin knocked on the gate of Guangzong City, bringing new hope to the 150,000 Yellow Turban Army.

Just when Chu Yan was rejoicing, Guo Bin opened his mouth to pour cold water on them.

"I can save the lives of these 150,000 ordinary soldiers, as for the high-level Yellow Turbans..."Guo Bin stopped talking with a look of regret.

Zhang Liang and the others were silent for a moment, and the reason was naturally clear to them.

The 150,000 Yellow Turban troops in Guangzong City made the officials and soldiers work hard, and even forced the imperial court to change commanders twice, proving their strength to the world. At that time, although he was high-spirited and famous, he also formed a mortal enemy among the officials and soldiers, which made the DPRK and China jealous.

Therefore, the meaning of protecting the Yellow Turban captives outside the city of Changshe is very different from that of protecting the elite of the Yellow Turbans in Guangzong City, and the difficulty is naturally very different.

Although the Yellow Turban Army surrounded Changshe City, the damage caused was much smaller than that of the Yellow Turban Army on the North Road. Moreover, the South Road Army was only a Yellow Turban Division, and the upper-level generals were slaughtered by Guo Bin with rockets in the siege of Yangzhai County.

And Guangzong City is the most elite soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army, and most of the backbone members of Taiping Dao are in Guangzong City. Therefore, the defenders of Gwangjong City can have such combat effectiveness and their will to fight is so tenacious.

Since ancient times, the people have been like sheep, officials and shepherds. Therefore, the imperial court is not afraid of the people, and what it is most afraid of is that someone will take the lead in rebellion, so the attitude towards people of different positions in the rebel army is also very different. Ordinary soldiers, the court may be able to ignore them and let them go gently, but the leader must be severely punished.

The so-called only punish the evil, and never ask. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "many people are not guilty", or it has a great deal to do with the different treatment of rebel armies by successive dynasties.

Zhang Liang and the other three knew that Guo Bin was lucky to be able to save the lives of the 150,000 troops in Guangzong City, and it would be too embarrassing to save the lives of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, Zhang Liang sighed and said: "Qianyang can save the lives of all the brothers, since I Zhang Liang and below, the Taiping Dao is already extremely virtuous, how dare I have any more luxury?" ”

Guo Bin said: "When the great sage and good teacher passed away, what he said was not a road. After a pause, he slowly spoke: "This is going north, Zhongshan, Shangdang and other places are crisscrossed by mountains, isn't it a place for heroes to live?" When he said this, he kept silent.

Zhang Fei and Chu Yan were confused, but Zhang Liang and Zhang Niujiao were bright-eyed.

Zhang Liang said: "There are still many complicated matters of recruitment, and more consideration is needed, so I will not leave the latent sun." ”

Guo Bin saw that he understood, and he didn't say much, so he got up and led Zhang Fei out. Just about to open the door, Guo Bin paused, turned around, and said: "The coming day is long, I hope that Taiping Dao can continue to be people-oriented in the future and always be stationed for our nation." If one day, if this is violated, no matter who it is, Guo will definitely crush it with his own hands! ”

Zhang Liang's heart was shocked, he glanced at Guo Bin, and said: "Taiping Dao will always follow the legacy of the great sage and good teacher, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, if one day someone really rebels against the ancestors, even Zhang can't let him go!" ”

Guo Bin nodded and said, "That's very good." With that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Chu Yan was full of questions, so she said, "I don't know what Guo Qianyang Shicai means?" ”

Zhang Niujiao listened to it, sighed, and said: "In the Taihang Mountains, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, if you enter it and swim in it, you will definitely be able to save your life." Is this really the end of my Taiping Dao? ”

Zhang Liang said slowly: "That's it. Then he said to the two: "Niujiao, you go and gather the generals, and say that I have something to announce, and I want the big guys to come and gather quickly." ”

Zhang Niujiao exclaimed: "Is there really no other way?" ”

Zhang Liang sat down on the ground and muttered, "What else?" Is Taiping Dao important, or is the lives of these 150,000 brothers in Guangzong City important? Guo Qianyang can do this, I feel his great grace, no matter what happens from now on, Guo Qianyang will always be my benefactor of Taipingdao! ”
