Chapter 138: The First General of the Late Han Dynasty
The snow in the north is still very long, and the white space between heaven and earth, and the snowflakes are falling in the Liucheng County House, adding a little silence to this noisy place on weekdays.
In the bedroom of the county house, in the brazier, the charcoal is burning, the flames are beating, and the house is red, which also makes the house warm like spring. Liucheng is simple, although the building is not as warm as Luoyang, but it is not cold to have charcoal for heating, the brocade quilt is spread on the bed, the two people on the bed are naked, not an inch of clothing, at this time it adds a shameful spring.
Fu Quan half leaned on the head of the bed, the child in the crook of his arm was already tired, and fell asleep, and the fiery red light illuminated her beautiful face, which made Fu Quan have a sense of movement.
Although after the war, the blood and qi were strong, and the anger in his heart was unbearable, but Fuquan, who had already scored twice, was already draining his essence at the moment, and he didn't have much physical strength, so he naturally needed to take a good rest, and he was closing his eyes and meditating at the moment.
After killing more than 2,000 Xianbei soldiers that day, the state and county were shocked, and the people applauded a lot, but this was criticized by the current Youzhou assassin Yang Xi, saying that he killed too much, and the straight way to kill prisoners is unknown.
At that time, Fu Quan also smiled bitterly when he heard about this, this assassin was too lenient, he just slaughtered more than 2,000 Xianbei people, these people are also a waste of food to keep in the Han family, and they are undoubtedly foolish dreams if they want to sinicize. After all, although Tanshi Huai is dead now, Xianbei is not dead, even if they are left in the border counties, they still flee back to Saiwai when they get the opportunity, and the next time they are in Koubian, they may be the most fierce ones who rush to the front.
This,For Fuquan, who has always been resistant to the Hu people of the alien race,Instead of keeping these prisoners of war and waiting for them to retaliate again,It's better to destroy them at this moment.,If he has the opportunity one day.,Exterminate their race.,Then we will consider whether to carry out sinicization.。 Otherwise, let them go, let them recuperate, just like the history of the Three Kingdoms Wei and Jin, the Hu people multiplied more and more in the north, peeking into the Han people's virtual reality, came to a Han disaster of the five Hu chaos, so that there is "Yongjia funeral, the Central Plains Shi clan does not exist one, everyone goes to the south to float, the north is desolate, the clothes move south, Hu Di is everywhere, the children of the Han family almost want to be slaughtered" The tragedy can be described as a thousand miles of smoke and trees piling up white bones, and the four fields do not hear the sound of singing, which makes the Han people in later generations sad!
I can't help but admire Duan Cheng who is on both sides, if you don't mention his intention to cling to the eunuchs, as one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", he really deserves to be the first general in the late Han Dynasty, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan are not as good as him.
Why?
In "Liangzhou Sanming", Duan Cheng pacified Xiqiang, and in Andong Qiang, he experienced 180 battles, killed more than 38,000 people, captured 427,000 livestock, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Xinfeng County, which can be described as a meritorious achievement. Among them, in the battle of Tiger Valley, he beheaded 19,000 at the cost of more than 400 people, and it is also shocking for future generations, after all, the Qiang and Han people have fought for nearly a hundred years, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan's military exploits are undoubtedly much inferior, and their so-called pacification policy has a mediocre effect, just in exchange for temporary stability, and then makes the Qiang people rebel again after recovering their vitality. In this way, it undoubtedly seems that the people and money are wasted, so that the early investment of the imperial court is in vain, but it is not as good as Duan Cheng's disobedience to kill, the Qiang people who killed were terrified, and the effect of daring to rebel was not good until after his death, no doubt From this point of view, Duan Cheng "The first general in the late Han Dynasty" deserves his name.
Think about it, the Han-Qiang Hundred Year War and the Eastern Han Dynasty subdued many times, all of which were mainly based on pacification, but the Qiang people will inevitably rebel when they have the opportunity. You must know that most of the Qiang people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty have been sinicized for several generations, but they are still like this, and later if it were not for Duan Cheng, the "God of War in the God of War", crushed with an iron fist, even if they surrendered, they still killed the Qiang captives, and the Qiang people did not dare to rebel when they heard their name, which ended the Han-Qiang dispute, which fully illustrates that for foreign races, assimilation is not as thorough as killing and extermination.
As for the rebellion of later historians against the Qiang people, most of them are one-sidedly attributed to the political darkness of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rampant corruption of officials and cruel officials, and the fact that the Qiang people had no other way. Fu Quan was completely suspicious of this, after all, the Han-Qiang Hundred Years War was almost intermittently throughout the Western Han Dynasty, and later history had already proved that assimilation was far inferior to the killing of conquest to deal with foreign races.
The Han-Qiang War can be traced back to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, since the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Huo Qu fell ill and subdued the Hexi Xiongnu, the Hexi Qiang people were attached to the Han Dynasty, and the Central Plains took the opportunity of civil strife to make it bigger in Hexi, and from time to time there were looting Koubian. Later, the Eastern Han Dynasty from the beginning of Emperor Guangwu, fell into the quagmire of protracted war with the Qiang people, only twenty years after Ma Yuan pacified the Qiang rebellion, the wolf Qiang rebelled, killed the Han Dynasty to protect the Qiang Commander, Dou Gu led the order to subdue it again, and it was the Eastern Han Dynasty again and again to appease, so that the Qiang people entered a mode of surrender and rebellion, because they knew that in the end the Han Dynasty would also forgive them, it can be said that there is no fear.
Later generations continued to beautify the Qiang people's actions as forced behaviors, only to say that the two emperors of Huan and Ling were mediocre, resulting in the political darkness of the imperial court, and the rampant corruption of officials and cruel officials made the officials force the people to rebel, but the nearly 100-year war between the Han and Qiang Even if the time of these two ascending the throne is added together, it will not reach half of the time of the war, not to mention that the Han-Qiang War ended soon after Emperor Ling ascended the throne, can all this be pushed to the two of them?
According to the words of historians, does it mean that the entire Eastern Han Dynasty has not had a moment of political clarity in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 100 years? Could it be that the so-called Guangwu Zhongxing and the rule of Mingzhang in the early Eastern Han Dynasty were all times when corrupt officials were rampant?
If so, then this so-called prosperous era is too "pompous", right? Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty can last for more than 100 years and stand still, which undoubtedly seems too long-lived, which is obviously inconsistent with what historians say.
The reason why historians record all this is only because the emperor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty relied on eunuchs and suppressed scholars excessively, so that the scholars who controlled public opinion and even revised historical books held grudges and empathized. In the history books, the scholars desperately buried and smeared the eunuchs, and the words such as insidious and vicious, disaster to the country and the people, and psychopathology were embellished. But smart people understand that eunuchs are good for the emperor, and his biggest role is to defend the imperial power, civil officials, military generals, and relatives may threaten the imperial power, and only the eunuchs always stand on the emperor's side.
When the eunuchs were destroyed, the imperial power was greatly weakened, which was also the reason why the Son of Heaven was easily held hostage by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao after Yuan Shao led the killing of the eunuchs. After all, the emperor has no henchmen in the inner palace, and he can't use weak eunuchs to overthrow powerful relatives and scholar groups like the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the past, and the Han family's morale has come to an end.
Thinking of this, Fu Quan's eyes were extremely sharp, after Yang Xi played, he would definitely be criticized, but he didn't care how these benevolent and moral scholars were accused, as long as he had a clear conscience, killing a Hu person would be a little less of a threat to future generations. Anyway, this dynasty doesn't talk about anything else, there is an example of Duan Cheng killing prisoners first, and they can't move themselves in the slightest.
