Chapter 307: A Trip to Jiaozhou (12)

Just as they were disturbing, suddenly a person from the Shifu rushed in and said a few words in Wang Yue's ear. saw that Wang Yue's face gradually turned pale, and finally nodded and let the person go.

Although Guo Bin was surrounded by everyone, he had been paying attention to Wang Yue's actions as the master, seeing Wang Yue's appearance, he knew that something was wrong, and he was busy asking the extremely willing Zhang Fei to block the wine for him, but he squeezed out of the crowd and came to Wang Yue's side, and asked, "Brother Wang, but what happened?" ”

Wang Yuetie blushed, nodded and said, "The warriors in the Linyi Kingdom came here to send a message, saying that they wanted to visit the family master on a certain day. ”

Guo Bin asked, "Oh? Could it be that there are any other martial arts sects in the country of Linyi that can handle them? ”

Wang Yue waved his hand and led Guo Bin and his followers Guan Yu, Dong Xing'er, and Huang Zhong to a secluded pavilion, surrounded by tall coconut palms and various tropical fruit trees, which also isolated the noise and chaos of the garden. After everyone sat down, Wang Yuefang patiently explained: "Qianyang has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and this Linyi country originally belonged to Xianglin County, Rinan County, Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou, Han Dynasty, and was called Xianglinyi. Since Qin Shi Huang sent a large army south to conquer Lingnan, it was incorporated into China. Seeing Guo Bin nodding slowly, Wang Yue continued: "Jiaozhou is far away in Tiannan, the transportation is inconvenient, and the Han court is beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Guan Yu said: "Then the imperial court doesn't care?" ”

Wang Yue said: "The imperial court naturally has to take care of it, and it has also ordered the soldiers of the two counties of Jiuzhen to rescue Shi Fan Yanfa and the soldiers of the two counties of Jiuzhen, but the soldiers of the two counties are unwilling to travel far and counterattack their mansions, so Fan Yan was defeated." When the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Shun wanted to send a total of 40,000 troops from Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan prefectures to suppress it, but was persuaded by the minister Li Gu. After that, the matter dragged on, and it was over. ”

Everyone was silent, and they all listened quietly to Wang Yue's narration.

"The original name of this Linyi country was Champa, because the indigenous people of the land claimed to be Zhanren. Although Qin Shi Huang reluctantly incorporated it into China by force, it was always difficult for him to integrate because of his own language and order. The Cham people believed in Brahmanism, and after they became independent, they took Brahmanism as the state religion, and divided their people into Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra, among which Brahmanism was the most honorable. Although Guo Bin had heard of these for a long time, Guan Yu, Dong Xing'er, and Huang Zhong's father and son didn't know about it.

"Among the people, this brahmin holds the vast majority of the property and is also the nobility of his clan. Most of these people have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are also divided into four classes, namely 'Brahman', 'Home', 'Linqi', and 'Retreat'. These four levels were originally the four stages of their cultivation, but at this time, they developed into four levels that distinguish their own martial arts and cultivation levels. Among them, the retreat is the strongest, and the Brahmana is mostly the one with the shallowest foundation. ”

Guo Bin said: "Who is the person who wrote the book this time? ”

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and said: "This person's name is Wu Luan, he is a Lin Qi in the country of Linyi, and his martial arts are extremely strong. ”

Huang Zhong interjected: "Could it be that this Wu Luan is even more powerful than the old-timers?" ”

Wang Yue said proudly: "Although this person's martial arts are high, he is also a number one figure in Tiannan, but where can he be worthy of the family teacher?" Then he said gloomily: "It's just that now that the family teacher has just recovered from a serious illness, it is not appropriate to fight with others, otherwise how dare they openly write so arrogantly?" ”

Guo Bin asked: "Lin Yi is a small country and his strength is extremely weak, but why did he come to provoke?" Could it be that there is some conflict between the scholars and them? At this time, Guo Bin's eyes were a little sharp when he looked at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue hurriedly said: "This is a long story. Since the Qin and Han dynasties successively pacified South Vietnam, although the Zhan people surrendered on the surface, they continued to accumulate strength on the inside, and they always wanted to rebel against China. In addition, the court is prevalent in selling officials and lords, but who is not desperate to make money if there is anyone who can be sent? And Lingnan is in the extreme south, the control of the imperial court is extremely limited, once the people are oppressed, it is really no way to cry! Therefore, all the officials who were sent to Jiaozhou were even more violent than those in the Central Plains. ”

Guo Bin nodded, now he is no longer a novice in officialdom, and he can understand what Wang Yue said.

The imperial court sold official titles and wealthy landlords bought official positions, and it has now become an extremely lucrative business. The imperial court sells officials for money, and rich people buy officials for money. The money of the imperial court was obtained from the people who bought officials, and the money of the people who bought officials was only taken from the hands of the common people.

Moreover, today, the imperial court is selling official positions, and it is also quite dishonest, and often an official position has just been sold, and after a month or two, it will be sold to someone else. Therefore, after this official takes office, who does not do his best to obtain the most wealth in the shortest possible time? The officials here are ruthless one after another, and the people still have a good life? Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that selling official positions is the most devastating to the country's foundation.

I only heard Wang Yue continue: "It's just that the Han people in Jiaozhou, where can they reach the Central Plains?" They are the most intelligent and flexible, and they are so brave and ruthless that the exploitation of the court is often not carried out on their heads. ”

In the 33rd year of Qin Shi Huang (214 B.C.), he recruited sinners, civil sons-in-law and Jia people who had fled to conquer the Nanyue (Beilingnan) region to seize land and add three counties: Guilin (now northeast of Baise, Guangxi), Nanhai (now Guangzhou, Guangdong), and Xiangjun (now Chongzuo, Guangxi). Another 500,000 criminals were sent to Nanshu Wuling (now the five major mountain ranges of Dagengling, Nanling, Mengzhuling, Dupangling, and Yuechengling, all of which are the border areas of present-day Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi), and lived together with the Yue people to jointly develop the Lingnan region.

It can be seen from this that most of the Han people in Lingnan committed crimes in the Central Plains and were forcibly sent over, so the people are fierce, and it is natural that they are fiercely resisting the exploitation of officials sent by the imperial court, because they are different from the "Shunmin" in the Central Plains!

Sure enough, I only heard Wang Yue continue: "The officials can't exploit the Han people, so they hit the idea on the Zhanren, so the exploitation of the Zhanren is far beyond that of the Han people." In addition, because most of the people do not understand the Central Plains script, and the folk customs are also very conservative, the oppression of the Han people in Lingnan has also happened frequently. ”

Dong Xing'er said: "In this way, these occupants are really pitiful. ”

Wang Yue smiled bitterly: "Poor? Truly pitiful! Therefore, the rebellion of the district company later won the general support and support of the Zhan people. ”

Everyone was silent, only to listen to Wang Yue continue in a calm tone: "Since the establishment of the country, there have often been Brahmins who have led people to the north to provoke, just for their fame in the country. Since there is a deep contradiction between the two races, how can it be resolved so easily? Therefore, many fishermen who went out to sea to fish were often oppressed and plundered by the warships of Linyi State, and if they were lucky, they would save their lives and come back, and even the catch from the boat would be confiscated, and those who were unlucky would be killed on the spot or buried in the belly of the fish. ”

Guo Bin slapped the case abruptly, and after noticing everyone's puzzled eyes, Fang slowly sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "What does the court say?" No one can take care of the previous Jiaozhou assassin history? ”

Wang Yue said: "The assassin has no military power, although the county is indeed responsible for defending the territory, how many people dare to provoke the border?" ”

Guo Bin was silent.

According to the official system of the Han Dynasty, the duties of the county taishou are indeed great, in addition to governing the people, advancing the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting adultery, you can also appoint and dismiss the history of Peng, which is a collection of administration, supervision, justice, and recommendation of talents, and you can also appoint officials on your own. It can be said that this is all politics, and the military strength is only one hundred and ten officials in the county guard's mansion.

In order to deal with this situation of insufficient local military strength, the Han Dynasty government also thought of many methods, and the metropolitan test system was the solution to strengthen the local garrison. In the Han Dynasty, the capital was tested to strengthen local armaments, but the military authority of the county guards was too large, which would also bring disadvantages to the centralized system. Before Liu Xiu's move, he had planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the capital of Nanyang County to rob the scholars of a county. It is precisely for this reason that in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, who became the emperor, in order to weaken the local military force, canceled the trial production of the capital while reducing the number of lieutenants, and it has never been restored.

Politics is about constant compromise and cooperation, and the system needs to be constantly improved and revised. There is no such thing as a perfect system, and when you make a certain choice, history will always buy one get one free. When you choose to centralize power, you have to bear the impact of local instability, and when you choose to stabilize local areas and strengthen local military forces, you have to face the danger of division and separation. And how to grasp this balance is the beauty of political art.

What Wang Yue said was extremely helpless, but it was all the truth. Although the county guard is responsible for defending the territory, he only has a hundred and ten unworthy servants under his command, who may be able to appease the place, but it is self-inflicted to provoke border provocations. Originally, in order to maintain the stability of the border areas, the imperial court would have county captains to lead troops to garrison, but this was all to resist the invasion of northern nomads, and how many people would care about the little southern barbarians? Therefore, the county lieutenant system in Jiaozhou is also a virtual reality, and there are no regular county soldiers in the county.

Let's talk about the history of the assassination, this history of the assassination was originally a prosecutor sent by the imperial court to the local area to supervise the local Taishou, and all the authority on his body came from his supervisory power, that is, the natural supervision power of the local Taishou, and there was absolutely no authority to lead the army or govern the place. Therefore, the prestige of the assassin in the local area depends on whether the local taishou give face, they have no jurisdiction over the territory, there is no advanced and legitimate team, in other words, their power is empty.

However, although it is false, there is always a righteous name of the central commissioner, and when something happens, he can use his own name to call on the county guards from all over the country to help. Although this approach is rather encroachment, and it is impossible for the central government to expressly provide for such unusually large powers, it is possible from the point of view of the power of urgency. And if you want to achieve it, all you have to look at is the personal ability, prestige, background and courage of this assassin. However, if you want to do such a thing that is extremely taboo by the imperial court, and even if you do it, you will never be able to reap the benefits, no matter how strong your ability, background and prestige are, you will not be able to match the courage, because to a large extent, it is not a question of whether you can do it, but whether you dare or not.

The so-called "thousands of miles of officials are only for money", if you want to be an official for a long time, in addition to a deep background, the most important thing is to be able to be with the light, to be able to have no courage, and to be cautious in words and deeds. The so-called doing more wrong, doing less wrong, and not doing well, this is the way to be an official. Therefore, for most of the officials in this era, instead of risking being feared by the imperial court, it is better to turn a blind eye, make up for the past, and make money.
