Chapter 125: The Yellow Turban Emerges
In winter, Ye Chen ended the anti-bandit operation, there are no large bandits in this Youzhou, and there are not many small bandits, even if there are dozens of thieves, it is not a problem.
Therefore, Ye Chen had already let all the guard battalions come back to rest, and he was also staying in Yu County.
"Meng Bao, who you off." As soon as he went out, Ye Chen saw Hua Mingxi coming over with a pout, holding a branch in his hand, plucking leaves.
"Brother Chen, it's not that they were angry with those liars, they actually gave the patient some talisman water, saying that it could cure the disease, isn't this a mess, what if the condition is delayed and people are killed." As soon as Ye Chen asked, Hua Ningxi burst out and complained to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was stunned by Hua Ningxi's words, and didn't figure out what was going on.
"Meng Bao, what's going on, tell me about it." Ye Chen felt that this matter would not be small, so he hurriedly asked.
"Hmph, there are often a group of people in the village, who call themselves Taiping Dao, when someone is sick, they draw rune water for them and let them drink, saying that if they drink it, they will be fine, and indeed many people have been cured by them, I don't know how they did it, but the rune water must be fake." Hua Lingxi said dissatisfied.
It turned out that he often treated the villagers, and the villagers were very convinced of him, but now there is a group of people making trouble and treating patients indiscriminately.
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, "Taiping Dao" Isn't that a yellow scarf? He has been suppressing the bandits, but he has ignored this matter, this is a big matter, once they revolt, their base area will be greatly damaged.
"Meng Bao, there are not many of them, do they appear often?" Ye Chen was anxious when he heard this, and the base that he had built up with great difficulty was definitely not allowed to be destroyed.
"I don't know if there are many of them, but lately there have been a group of people in various villages, and many people believe in them." Meng Bao looked disdainful of them, and was even more dissatisfied with their deceptive tricks.
"Thank you, thank you, you've helped me a lot this time.
Ye Chen said to Hua Ningxi with a heavy heart.
"Brother Chen doesn't need to be like this, and he didn't help much." Hua Ningxi continued: "However, Brother Chen, you have to deal with these liars, and you can't let them deceive the villagers all the time. ”
"Don't worry, Meng Bao, I will definitely take care of it." A cold light shot out of Ye Chen's eyes, he would never allow these people to destroy his base, and he would quickly destroy them while he had time now.
Ye Chen was originally going to go out for a walk, but now where did he still have this thought, he immediately asked people to call Liu Qi and Wang Tianhammer.
"Liu Qi, Wang Tianzhu, have you heard of Taiping Dao." Ye Chen asked.
"I heard that they all wore yellow scarves on their heads and went to the villages to give people treatment and preach." Liu Qi said.
"Hmph, why haven't I heard you say anything important, we also have it in Xianxian, do you know the seriousness of this matter." As soon as Ye Chen heard the anger, it didn't take long for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to break out, and he didn't know until now that there were still Yellow Turbans active in his territory.
Liu Qi and Wang Tianhammer were stunned when they heard this, is this matter very serious? Maybe it's really serious, otherwise Ye Chen wouldn't be so angry.
"Young family master, this matter shouldn't be very serious, there are a lot of Taiping Dao activities in other counties, but our county is okay, the number is not much compared to other places, and they have never made trouble." When Wang Tianzhu heard Ye Chen's anger, he hurriedly explained.
Ye Chen didn't know what to say when he heard it, he couldn't say that they were going to rebel, they didn't know history and didn't know the harm of Taiping Dao, and now the entire Han Dynasty was full of Taiping Dao and no one had paid attention to it, so Ye Chen also felt that they couldn't be blamed for this.
"Tell me about the situation in our county, as well as the situation in other places in Taiping Road." Ye Chen calmed down, there is still time now, let's solve the problem first.
Liu Qi and Wang Tianhammer were scolded by Ye Chen and didn't dare to slack off, Liu Qi hurriedly said: "We don't have many Taiping Dao in Xian County, they mainly treat people, but it is easier for us to treat people in Xian County, everyone also has money, most of them see the disease, buy medicine, even if there is difficulty, come to our Ye family, our Ye family will also help, but there are always some people who like to believe in these things, so Taiping Dao still has activities in our Xian County."
”
After Liu Qigang finished speaking, Wang Tianshu hurriedly added: "We found out that Taiping Dao was active at the beginning of this year, and we followed them for a period of time, they didn't make trouble, and the people of our county lived a stable life, and not too many people believed in them, mainly because most of us were displaced people in Xianxian before, and they lived in hardship, and they were afraid of their previous lives, so some people still believe in them." ”
Ye Chen was a little relieved after hearing this, at least the situation was not so bad that it could not be saved.
"What about other states and counties?"
Liu Qi said: "Taiping Dao in other states and counties is very active, they draw talismans to save people, many people believe in them, and many people also visit their so-called great sages and good teachers with us in the morning and evening." ”
Ye Chen had already seen the coming of the Han storm, he had always attached great importance to the Yellow Turban Uprising, but he ignored this process and ignored Zhang Jiao's plan for more than ten years, and now he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it, if he really wanted the Yellow Turban to break out in Yuxian County, then half of his family business would be destroyed.
"No matter what, I now ask you to secretly dispose of all the Taiping Dao in Yu County to me, you can do whatever it takes, I will send a guard battalion to assist you, and from today onwards, I will pay close attention to the movements in Yu County, and there will be no more Taiping Dao." Ye Chen said to the two of them very seriously.
"Yes, young master." Cold sweat broke out behind the backs of both of them, Ye Chen has always been very good to the people, but this time he is going to use the knife, they can't understand why Ye Chen attaches so much importance to the Taiping Dao, this Taiping Dao is just to draw talismans for people and cure diseases.
However, since Ye Chen attached so much importance to it, they could only mobilize their strength and do their best to do a good job, and it would not be much difficult to deal with this gang of Taiping Dao.
"There are some things to be aware of here. The first is not to attract too many people's attention, it is best to do it quietly, the second is that if they resist, you are not welcome, there is no forgiveness for killing, and the third is to keep an eye on me, if there is a Taiping Road from other counties to enter the county, stop me, I can't stop them, and when they come in, they will be secretly disposed of for me, and find out how many people in our county have joined the Taiping Road, don't alarm them, just monitor me.
”
Liu Qi and Wang Tianhammer glanced at each other, and they both felt that this matter was very serious, otherwise Ye Chen would not have arranged it much.
Ye Chen is worried now, he doesn't have that much strength, otherwise the entire Taiping Dao in Youzhou will be cleaned up for him, after all, if the yellow scarf is raging in Youzhou, then the Ye family will also suffer a lot of losses.
"Not only Yuxian, but also the Ye family, Yejiabao is absolutely not allowed to mix into the Taiping Road, if the entire Xiangping has the strength, I will also monitor it, if the strength is insufficient, I can do as much as I can, and in addition, you have to investigate the Taiping Road in the entire Youzhou, and report any information at any time." Ye Chen continued to command.
The two took the order and left.
Ye Chen was still not at ease, so he found the tiger head and asked him to send a team of men and horses to patrol back and forth throughout the county to prevent accidents, a bunch of cavalry of a hundred people, and sent a thousand people to go back and forth quickly throughout the county, believing that if they wanted to make a move, with the combat effectiveness of the guard battalion and the advantage of the cavalry, they could be controlled quickly.
Even if a hundred cavalry can't do anything to them, but with cavalry, they can quickly get support, and there will definitely not be too many yellow turbans in the county under control, and it should be fine if they have so many soldiers and horses in the county.
In the next few days, Ye Chen had been paying attention to the matter of the yellow scarf, and Liu Qi and Wang Tianzhu were called by Ye Chen every day to report the situation.
Ye Chen not only patrolled, but also sent troops to protect the workshops, shipyards, and docks, if these places were impacted, then the losses would be beaten. As for the salt field and horse farm, don't worry, there are all guard battalions there, they can't penetrate it, and don't even think about impacting it.
After some urgent arrangements, Ye Chen was a little relieved, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out suddenly, Ye Chen would not be unprepared.
