Chapter 510: Strategy
Early in the morning, in Guan's dock, Zhang Liao was looking through the documents sent by Zhao Jian, all of which were all about Donglai and Qingzhou that Zhao Jian had learned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Three days ago, at the Taiping Conference, the Taiping Dao was a mess, not only the core figures were captured, but also the reputation was ruined, under Zhang Liao's scolding and enlightenment, many Taiping Dao believers repented.
Later, Zhang Liao let the shadows spread the situation of the day everywhere, and publicized it widely, and the deeds of Qingzhou Mu Zhang Liaozhi breaking the Taiping Road quickly spread throughout Donglai, and even the adjacent Beihai and Langya, and even the evil deeds of some gods and virtuous teachers of the Taiping Road were highlighted in all directions, shaking Qingxu.
The effect of public opinion propaganda is obvious, especially Zhang Liao let the shadow deliberately amplify the crimes of Taiping Dao, including robbing women and women, defrauding money, harming people's lives, and even Taiping Dao has a saying that it eats human flesh, with a name and a surname, and a look, Huang Tian Taiyi was described as an evil god, Taiping Dao became infamous overnight, and some of Zhang Liao's classic words were also widely disseminated and praised.
Zhang Liao wanted to quickly establish his prestige in Qingzhou, so he could only brazenly let the shadow praise him, of course, he didn't whitewash it too much, he let the shadow truthfully publicize the situation that day, and those shadows who worshiped him naturally magnified his image.
At the same time, Zhang Liao also asked the county officials and Baixin to publicize his policy towards bandits, and to take refuge within a month, otherwise they would be wiped out.
However, judging from the information provided by Zhao Jian, the bandits in various counties did not take any action, and obviously had the mentality of taking chances or continuing to act at ease.
Zhang Liao tapped his fingers on the desk, thinking about how to deal with these bandits as soon as possible.
Although he got the Taiping Road, there were too many bandits in Donglai, in addition to the Yellow Turbans, many scoundrels and wealthy families also took the opportunity to gather Hakka soldiers to loot places, gather mountains, forests and islands, there were hundreds of shares, large and small, and it was difficult to pay them all for a while.
But keeping it is a tumor, repeatedly looting, it is very troublesome, it is best to deal with it together, but he has to think of a way, he can't help but miss Guo Jia, if Guo Jia is here, his eyes are a bunch of ideas, but he doesn't have that level, often it is a flash of inspiration.
It's a pity that Guo Jia was left in Zhongshan by himself, cooperating with Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan to guard against attacks from Wu Huan, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at any time.
Just thinking about himself, Diao Chan, who was dressed in men's clothes, came in with tea Shi Shiran, put the tea on the desk, and said softly: "General, please use tea."
Zhang Liao nodded, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, this tea art is comparable to Zhaoji." ”
He likes to drink tea, so he always carries tea leaves with him from time to time, and Diao Chan also learned tea art from Cai Yan.
Diao Chan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "General, the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao wants to come to see the general." ”
Because the main bookkeeper Tian Yi assisted Xun Yu in handling affairs in Bingzhou, in addition to taking care of Zhang Liao's daily life these days, Diao Chan also temporarily acted as his main bookkeeper, recording and conveying, but also neat, and also pleasing to the eye, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Liao let her wear men's clothes, but she didn't expect to wear men's clothes, Diao Chan showed a unique charm, which often made the clerks lose their minds.
Hearing that the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao wanted to see him, Zhang Liao frowned, suddenly moved in his heart, and nodded: "Let her come over." ”
After a while, the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao came in and bowed: "Concubine Gong Ying to meet the general." ”
"You're welcome." Zhang Liao said expressionlessly: "Why did you come to see me?" ”
Gong Ying hesitated, and said crisply: "Envoy, in fact, Taiping Dao is just a preaching, not a ......."
"I don't object to preaching, but are you preaching? That's a rebellion! That's iniquity! How many people have been harmed, and dare to say that they are preaching? Zhang Liao interrupted her with a word: "If you want to establish a peaceful world, is this world a game?" There are so many virtuous ministers and capable officials in the world, and they may not be able to govern the world well, and a group of Taoist priests who have never been in contact with political affairs and have never experienced the people's feelings dare to say that they want to rule by doing nothing and establish a peaceful world? When everyone else is a wine bag and a rice bag, they are all evil and ugly, and there is only the most righteous, the most intelligent, and the most capable in the world?! ”
Diao Chan watched from the sidelines with a secret palpitation, General Zhang is usually very kind and rarely angry, but once he is angry, the power is not something ordinary people can bear.
The holy woman bowed her head and said, "I don't want you to know the Taiping Dao doctrine too." ”
"Why don't you know, is it so easy to rule by doing nothing?" Zhang Liao sneered: "I admire the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, but you are just borrowing the name of a saint!" Hundreds of schools of thought, in the final analysis, is to establish a set of order, Confucianism can establish the most stable order, inaction is also a kind of rule, but that is a kind of supreme realm, is to climb Mount Tai and view the world, is familiar with the world's things and return to the truth without disturbing the people, except for Lao Tzu, how many people can achieve? What's more, if you want to do nothing, will others do nothing? Just like that scum in the teeth, it was your inaction that helped him to do evil! ”
The saint showed a look of shame on her face, and said in a low voice: "My grandfather uncle didn't know about the evil deeds of Yu Ya and those gods, he just wanted to preach, and he had no malice. ”
"Well, looking at Taiping Dao, you, the holy woman, are not bad, and have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the people, but Gong Zheng, hey! He's not bad, but he's a fool! Zhang Liao reprimanded: "The fool himself is confused, and he can preach? He didn't do evil, but he taught Zhang Jiao and brought out the Taiping Dao, causing millions of innocent people to die in the war. A hundred deaths are hard to redeem! It's time to go to the Nine Hells! It's not that he is old, the official has already cut him with a thousand knives! And now you will put him in seclusion, lest he do it again. ”
The saint's eyes were red, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine knows this, this incident has hit my uncle and grandfather very hard, he is old, and the concubine is afraid of ......."
Zhang Liao didn't have any sympathy for Gong Zhen, the legendary Nanhua old immortal, and he said indifferently: "Taoism pays the most attention to cultivating the mind, if he doesn't even have this little bit of heart, he will be humiliated by Huang Lao to live." ”
He knew from later generations that in all dynasties, the Duhan Dynasty died by force, and although there were many factors for its demise, at least half of the factors were in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, Zhang Jiao and Nanhua, the two culprits.
He also thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a civil unrest triggered by the government's stupidity and oppression of the people, but he had obtained tens of thousands of books from the palace and read some of them, and knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not only because of the government's exploitation and oppression, but also because of Zhang Jiao's ambition.
From those records, he counted that in the fifteen years from the pro-government of Emperor Ling to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, there were nearly 30 wars in the Han Dynasty, but there were only two local civil uprisings, and the remaining ninety percent were mostly foreign rebellions. It can be seen that although the government was chaotic, the people's lives were barely passable, and there were not many people who rebelled at that time.
The Tian Fu in the Han Dynasty was not high, and a large part of the civil disaster was caused by natural disasters, that is, the Xiaoice River period in the late Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Ling, there were more than a dozen large-scale natural disasters, including floods, droughts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., and the scope of disasters was very large. In this regard, Emperor Ling was not completely inactive, and adopted such wasted policies as sending medicine, praying for rain, building canals, and reducing or reducing land rents.
During this period, there were four plagues, the first three times Emperor Ling had disaster relief, only the last time because of the emptiness of the treasury, there was no medicine, at that time Emperor Ling was still selling officials in the West Garden to collect money, and Zhang Jiao took the opportunity to apply Fu Shui in this epidemic, and developed and strengthened the Taiping Road.
The transformation occurred in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, perhaps because of the resentment of the people, Emperor Ling became more arbitrary and absurd, and then instead of helping the people, he increased taxes, resulting in the people's misery, and there were more than a dozen civil unrest in less than six years.
From this point of view, it can be said that the crazy destruction and looting of the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a wide range of people to live in poverty, so that the imperial court had to let go of the military ban, and ordered the local county guards and Haoqiang to recruit soldiers and horses on their own.
And the consequences of this collapse are devastating, and people today are only just realizing it, and they don't know what happened later.
Only Zhang Liao, a person from later generations, knew that in the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the princes chased the Central Plains, which greatly damaged their vitality, and the northern alien races took the opportunity to become stronger. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di and other alien races intensified the invasion of the Central Plains, and these barbarian alien races still retained the primitive cannibalistic beasts, among which the Xiongnu, the white Xiongnu, and the Xianbei were the most vicious.
More than 100 years later, in the first year of Yong'an in the Western Jin Dynasty, Murong Xianbei plundered the Central Plains, captive tens of thousands of Han girls, and on the way back to the division, he wantonly used these Han girls as military food, slaughtered and cooked, and when he went to Yishui, Hebei, he only had 8,000 girls left, and they couldn't eat them for a while, so they drowned all the 8,000 girls, and Yishui cut off the flow for it!
The Qiang army never carries grain and grass when marching and fighting, and specifically captivates Han women as military food, which is called "two-legged sheep" by the Qiang people, and is slaughtered and cooked by soldiers at night and during the day.
Under the rule of Zhao Zhao, the Han nation was almost wiped out. By the time Ran Min destroyed Zhao, there were only four million Han people left in the Central Plains, and after Ran Min broke Ye, the number of Han women who were captured and plundered reached 200,000 at one time.
The fundamental reason why the Han people suffered this tragedy is that the Han population declined sharply during the Three Kingdoms period, and the comprehensive strength dropped greatly, otherwise how could it be arrogant to be a foreign race!
In later generations, many brick families said that Wuhu Chaohua was national integration, and praised it, saying that integration requires sacrifice, and Zhang Liao scoffed at this. There are more ways to integrate nationalities, why are those aliens almost killing our Han people, and it is this cruel way, if those brick families are in this era, I am afraid they will not say that, they will never consider it from the aspect of human nature.
National integration is okay, but according to his method!
Therefore, Zhang Liao stabbed the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, broke the Nanting in one fell swoop, and led the Xiongnu to integrate into the Han nation.
In the final analysis, the weakening of the Han nationality began with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so Zhang Liao was trying his best to save all this and preserve the vitality of the Han nation to the greatest extent.
Now although he has done the Taiping Dao, he knows that the people of Qingzhou have always believed in immortals, which is an inherent concern, which is difficult to eliminate for thousands of years, and it is by no means something that he can change with a word, he ruined Huangtian Taiyi, but sooner or later these people will set up Heitian Taiyi and Daytime Taiyi.
Wildfires are inexhaustible, spring breezes blow and regenerate, religion is unavoidable, and the key lies in guidance.
What's more, he has only destroyed the general altar and part of the belief in Taiping Dao now, and there are many places in Qingzhou that worship Taiping Dao and need guidance.
He looked at the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao: "This official is not opposed to preaching to lead people to goodness, but from now on, anyone who preaches in Qingzhou must be reviewed by the official and distributed to the Taoist disc, before he is qualified to preach. ”
The saint didn't expect Zhang Liao to be relieved in the preaching, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for making the king, making the king bright, the candle shines in all directions, I can't wait." ”
Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Don't say something nice, the palace still can't let go, you can go out, bring a few good and prestigious virtuous teachers, go and guide the Taiping Dao everywhere, change the doctrine, don't be evil again." ”
"Reformation?" The holy woman hesitated: "I don't know how to change my concubine body......"
Zhang Liao said: "Since ancient times, medicine and Taoism have not been separated, and in the future, Taiping Dao should help the world and save people, in order to atone for sins, don't engage in any evil ways, really learn some art of disambiguation, cure diseases and save people, when it is a great virtue, Taoism can be prosperous, look at Zuo Yuanfang that guy, although the refining pill is unreliable, but it will not be used to harm people, it is all knocked by himself, and the medical skills are good, he will cure diseases and save people, and he should learn more from him." ”
There was a look of surprise in the saint's eyes: "Do you recognize Mr. Wujiao?" ”
"It's not bad." Zhang Liao thought of Zuo Ci's house, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, because Tang Wan and Cai Yan were pregnant, this time he left Zuo Ci in Bingzhou, just in case.
As soon as he thought of his wife, Zhang Liao felt better, took a sip of tea, and instructed the holy woman: "Remember, saving people is saving people, potions are potions, don't pretend to be ghosts, what kind of spells do you do, of course, if you can convince the official first, you can implement it." ”
"Concubines keep in mind." The holy woman replied respectfully, and suddenly said tentatively: "Envoy, why don't you let the envoy be the master of the Taiping Dao?" ”
Burst! Zhang Liao squirted out a mouthful of tea.
What kind of joke, let him be the master of the Tao, it will not be laughed at by the world, what will the court think, don't do it.
The saint was not impulsive, but now that Taiping Dao is almost dead, she has no way out, and when she saw Zhang Liao's demeanor, she couldn't help but show disappointment.
I didn't want Zhang Liao's heart to move, so he suddenly said: "In this way, in a few months, I will summon Zuo Yuanfang and bring you to re-reform the doctrine." ”
The saint rejoiced: "This is very good, thank you to the envoy, Mr. Wujiao will be able to meet the expectations of the people and lead the congregation." ”
Zhang Liao nodded, but his mind turned to his first thought, he looked at the holy woman: "Ru Taiping Dao is deeply rooted in Donglai, you must be very familiar with the situation in Donglai, right?" ”
The holy woman hesitated, nodded, and didn't dare to say anything else, they still knew the situation in Donglai very well.
"Good." Zhang Liao said in an unquestionable tone: "This official needs all the information of the big and small thieves in Donglai and even Qingzhou, who is their leader, how many people there are, where is the nest, and which heroes collude with them......
