Chapter 105: The Beginning of Military and Political Division
Although Situ originally evolved from the position of prime minister, but at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Situ, who did not record the post of Shangshu, had no real power, and it was meaningless to be responsible for the so-called management and education, and it was completely a political vase, so Jin Liang did not hesitate to do so. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info appointed Xun Shuang as Situ, firstly, to show that the Empress Dowager He regime supported by Jin Liang attaches great importance to the family members, which can be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, but this old man will die of illness next year, which can be regarded as using his reputation before he dies; The second is to win over the Xun family and even the Yingchuan family and the talented people from Yingchuan to win their favor, although Xun Yu Xunyou is very sorry for Jin Liang, but if they change their course and rejoin Jin Liang, Jin Liang will not refuse. didn't wait for Xun Shuang to die, Jin Liang was ready to wait for him to die before appointing Lu Zhi's friend Zheng Xuan as Situ, anyway, Wang Yun's bastard only had the share of being the Situ of Dong Zhuo's puppet regime.
Lifting the party and reusing the family party members are one of the few things that Dong Zhuo did in history after entering Beijing in order to win over the family party members, and the most sensational of them is the rocket promotion of Cai Yong and Xun Shuang. Now that Jin Liang has done it, see what you Dong Zhuo's puppet regime can do. After using a series of appointments to win over the members of the family outside the Yuan family's sphere of influence, Empress Dowager He followed the steps discussed with Jin Liang last night, and did not hesitate to reward those noble ministers with outstanding military achievements, the most prominent of which were naturally Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Empress Dowager He said in a high-sounding manner: "The last court meeting, the palace rewarded the heroes in Luoyang City, but ignored the other heroes in the world, if they were not guarded in various places, the Han Dynasty would not be so stable, and the palace could not chill the loyalty of the soldiers." ”
In order to envelop Huangfu Song, who held 100,000 border troops, Empress Dowager He issued an edict of reward: "Promote Huangfu Song to the general of the left chariot." He was crowned as the Marquis of Huaili. Shihuaili and Meiyang counties. A total of 8,000 households. ”
In fact, this left chariot cavalry general and Huaili Marquis were originally given to him by Emperor Han Ling when Huangfu Song suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but later Huangfu Song could not quickly pacify the Qiang rebellion when he conquered Bian Qiang, and offended Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang in the ten permanent servants, and was slandered by the two in front of Emperor Han Ling, and Emperor Han Ling took back Huangfu Song's left chariot general seal, cut off 6,000 feudal households, and changed the title of the capital to the townsman. Eat 2,000 households. Now that all of them are returned to Huangfu Song, it can be regarded as comforting the old minister's heart.
In addition, Empress Dowager He refused to withdraw troops because Dong Zhuo disobeyed the emperor's order, stripped Dong Zhuo of all official titles, and let Huangfu Song lead Liangzhou Mu and be responsible for recruiting Dong Zhuo, but this holy decree was issued by Empress Dowager He when she arrived in Xiangyang safely, and now the issuance will only annoy Dong Zhuo and let him attack the city in advance, which is not conducive to Empress Dowager He's retreat. When Empress Dowager He arrived in Xiangyang. The edict of Dong will be promulgated, and when the time comes, Jin Liang will join the Kwantung princes to storm Luoyang. Huangfu Song led 100,000 border troops to storm Chang'an, cut off Dong Zhuo's back road, and prevent the Western Liang army from returning to Liangzhou to resurge. Then there is the reward for Zhu Jun, although Zhu Jun does not have an army in his hands now, he is a veteran general in the army and has great prestige in the army.
In order to entrap him, Empress Dowager He issued an edict of reward: "Promote Zhu Jun to the general of the right chariot, lead the east of the river to guard, add the marquis of Qiantang, and eat 6,000 households in Qiantang County." ”
Empress Dowager He played the trick just now, Zhu Jun was also named the general of the right chariot and the marquis of Qiantang by Emperor Ling of Han after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, but later resigned due to the mourning of his mother. The restoration of the original official title is also to comfort the loyalty of this veteran general in the army, so that he will not be dragged away by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Kui and others. Zhu Jun led the Taishou of Hedong, Hedong's status was very prominent, occupying Hedong, and dealing with Dong Zhuo was like grabbing the seven inches of a snake. In this way, Huangfu Song exploded Dong Zhuo's chrysanthemum in the back, Zhu Jun hit Dong Zhuo's neck, and Jin Liang and Lu Zhi reorganized Jing and the two armies together with other Kwantung princes to storm Dong Zhuo's face, which definitely made Dong Zhuo's death much worse than in history.
If according to the historical arrangement, Sun Jian, the Changsha Taishou, ran to the ground of Yuzhou and attacked Dong Zhuo from the Yangren's side, a bit like kicking Dong Zhuo's little brother, and as a result, Dong Zhuo was furious, and suddenly shrank to the chrysanthemum, and ran from Luoyang to Chang'an, but unfortunately there was only one emperor at that time, and the old man Huangfu Song was too stupid and loyal, Dong Zhuo asked Liu Xie to issue an edict to him, and he led the army to surrender, otherwise there would really be no Dong Zhuo to live for a few days.
According to the meaning of Yuan Kui and others, it is necessary to arrange for Wang Kuang, the former official of the Yuan family, to be the Taishou of Hanoi County, Jin Liang is resolutely opposed, Hanoi County is connected to Bingzhou and Luoyang, if Wang Kuangtun, who has thousands of Taishan bows and crossbow soldiers, is in Hanoi, Jin Liang will definitely be restless in Jingzhou, you know, in history, Wang Kuang actually killed his brother-in-law Hu Muban for the benefit of his master Yuan Shao, Jin Liang can not let his reserve army have a loyal dog of the Yuan family lying at the door.
Jin Liang recommended Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to be transferred to Hanoi Taishou, as the vanguard of the future crusade against Dong Zhuo, before Sun Jian served as the military of Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen, he had a gap with Dong Zhuo, who was subordinate to Zhang Wen at that time, and the grudge between the two became deeper and deeper, so that Sun Jian was the most active in fighting Dong Zhuo in history. Jin Liang told Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo about the grievances to Empress Dowager He, Sun Jian has not yet begun to rely on the Yuan family, and can use it, so Empress Dowager He issued an edict to let Sun Jian transfer to Hanoi Taishou, as for Wang Kuang, he will be the Runan Taishou and act as a watchdog for the Yuan family. The reason why Jin Liang suggested that Empress Dowager He be appointed like this was not only to deal with Dong Zhuo, but also to curb the development of the Yuan family.
Jin Liang and Lu Zhi have done their best to create a political clique that fully supports Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei, and the policy of this group is overtly anti-Dong and secretly anti-Yuan. Jin Liang, who is in the core, goes without saying, he doesn't have the slightest good impression of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. Lu Zhi hated Dong Zhuo without saying, Lu Zhi was also very dissatisfied with the Yuan family, he witnessed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers leading troops to cause trouble in the palace, he was framed by eunuchs, Yuan Kui Mingzhe did not lend a helping hand to protect himself, Lu Zhi's old friends Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun were framed by eunuchs one after another, and Yuan Kui, who was a prince, also had no righteous posture at all, plus Lu Zhi was upright for the country, without the slightest selfish distraction, and he was very unaccustomed to the behavior of the Yuan family to install his children and protégés everywhere, plus "Those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao, Liu's death, Yuan Shixing" This rumor spread in Luoyang City, making Lu Zhi more and more hateful, disgusted and rejected the Yuan family.
Although Lu Zhi worked as a military advisor for Yuan Shao for a few days in history, it was Yuan Shao who unified Hebei, and Lu Zhi was poor. I can't help it. And Lu Zhi happens to be the core of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Cai Yong, Ma Riyan, Liu Hong, and Zheng Tai. There is him coming out. Jin Liang happily hid behind and reaped the results. Shangshu Zheng Tai Zheng Gongye was recommended by He Jin and became Shangshu, although He Jin repeatedly advised He Jin not to let Dong Zhuo enter Beijing was rejected by He Jin, but thanks to He Jin's kindness, he resolutely decided to protect the holy car to avoid Jingzhou temporarily. Sikong Liu Hong, a relative of the Han family, felt the threat of Dong Zhuo, and at the same time noticed that the Yuan family was about to move, and decided to ally with Lu Zhi and Jin Liang to fight against Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kui.
Lu Zhi followed Jin Liang's advice again. Sent cronies to contact the left general Huang Fu Song and Zhu Jun in his hometown, Huang Fu Song was disobedient to Dong Zhuo when he crusaded against the Yellow Turban and Xiqiang, and the imperial court also wanted Huang Fu Song to incorporate Dong Zhuo's army, so the relationship between the two was not good, very bad, Zhu Jun also sneered at Dong Zhuo's performance in the Yellow Turban Riot, and even looked down on Dong Zhuo, these two people were in the army, and the relationship with Yuan Kui, who was sitting in the court and talking about blind command, was also very general, there is no doubt that it is. These two people have a very good relationship with Lu Zhi, plus the secret edict of the Queen Mother. It is believed that he will support the young emperor Liu Wei who went to Jingzhou.
Lu Zhi also contacted Liu Yu, the Taiwei and Youzhou pastor, Liu Yu, as a member of the Han family, was loyal to the imperial court, and Liu Wei was the eldest son of the first emperor, and Liu Yu would give his full support. In this way, the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor Liu Wei have not yet arrived in Jingzhou, and they already have strong support. Jin Liang asked Empress Dowager He to further increase the number of officials and lords to these people to win over each other in depth and consolidate this alliance.
The reason why Jin Liang invited allies everywhere was that he didn't want to repeat Dong Zhuo's mistakes, Jin Liang was not prestige enough now, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he could not make the princes obey at all, but it was very likely to be opposed by all the princes, but if he united Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu and others to form a joint regime, then the prestige of this regime was definitely greater than the Luoyang puppet regime occupied by Dong Zhuo, and Jin Liang could use the prestige of Lu Zhi and others and the elite army under his command to defeat Dong Zhuo, recruit rebellion, and gradually unify the world. And Lu Zhi and others are all dying and old, and after these people die one after another, Jin Liang has almost reached the peak of his prestige, and when the time comes, he can monopolize the power and shock the government and the opposition, just like Hu Zhao said, for the emperor and the king, all in Jin Liang's thoughts.
Seeing that Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other Yuan party faces became more and more gloomy, Empress Dowager He thought that Cai Yong and Ma Riyan would be promoted to Taishi Taibao to divide Yuan Kui's power, promote those party members who had nothing to do with Yuan's family, and reward Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other nobles who had always disagreed with Yuan's family, as if they were throwing Yuan's party aside, and they must have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, so Empress Dowager He put away the happiness in her heart, and her face was full of smiles: "Pass the will of the palace, promote Yuan Ji (Yuan Feng's eldest son, Yuan Shu's brother) to be the imperial servant, and the original imperial servant Huang Wan turned to Guanglu doctor; Chen Wen (a native of Runan, Yuan's former official) was moved to Yangzhou, and Liu Xuan, the former servant of the imperial history, moved to Yangzhou Assassin History. ”
In this way, in the following period, a large number of edicts of appointment were issued, almost all of which were for the promotion of the children of the Yuan family and their protégés distributed in prefectures and counties across the country. And most of the appointments don't look like the kind of tricks that rise and fall.
Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao couldn't understand the series of appointments of the Empress Dowager He, and after thinking about it for a long time, they could only think that the Empress Dowager wanted to ease relations with their Yuan family, so as not to offend them The Yuan family was too ruthless. Yuan Shu directly thought that Jin Liang and others wanted to have a good relationship with his Yuan family, so he persuaded the Queen Mother to give these rewards, and he was overjoyed, and felt that the Yuan family was more sure of controlling the Jingshi Imperial Court. In fact, it is because they do not understand the future that they think this is a good phenomenon in this wishful thinking. Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao, and the protégés and former officials of the Yuan family who were attached to them all agreed that Dong Zhuo was the former official of the Yuan family, and he could share some benefits to the Yuan family, and Dong Zhuo's ruling of the government was inseparable from their Yuan family, so they were not as afraid of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing as other ministers of the family. Even if Yuan Shu used the fact that Dong Zhuo killed two birds with one stone to frame the Yuan family to persuade Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao couldn't make up their minds to break the net with Dong Zhuoyu, and still wanted to stay in Luoyang and adapt to the situation.
After this series of appointments by the Empress Dowager He, the protégés and former officials of the Yuan clan were mainly deployed in Luoyang City, Sili District, Yuzhou, Nanyang County of Jingzhou and other places, as for Jin Liang's future sphere of influence, the Yuan clan forces in the four states of Jingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Yangzhou were promoted through such conscriptions, and almost more than half of them were eliminated.
A few days later, as soon as Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang City, he would control these Yuan children and their protégés who had been promoted to ministers, and Jin Liang would take advantage of this opportunity. In Xiangyang, it was announced that the Luoyang Imperial Court established by Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie was a puppet regime. Call on the princes of the world to discuss it. and denied all appointments in the Luoyang court, and then reappointed new central officials in Yecheng, so that the power of the Yuan family and the party was eliminated. Even if they don't deny the appointment of these people, they have been controlled by Dong Zhuo, and Xiangyang will not leave a place for them anymore. When Dong Zhuo is killed, Jin Liang will ask Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei to put these people on solid charges of being a thief, so as to cut off Yuan Shao's wings in one fell swoop.
After the local county orders and county guards with the word Yuan on their heads were recruited to the imperial court, the local county orders and county guards were arranged to the family children, protégés, relatives, friends and subordinates of Jin Liang, Lu Zhi, Ma Riyan, Liu Hong, Cai Yong, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Zheng Tai and others. This is the strategy of "drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle" formulated by Jin Liang in order to curb the future development of the Yuan family. After telling the Empress Dowager He last night, the Empress Dowager He giggled for a long time, and kept laughing and scolding Jin Liang for being a guy with a bad stomach, and the Empress Dowager He actually added after laughing and scolding, "But I like it." ”
Jin Liang is far from taking all the power into his hands, and he doesn't dare to say presumptuously, "Either I'll treat you badly", but just replied: "Wechen has always believed that if you treat traitors more treacherously than him, you will treat villains worse than him, and there are many more Wechen like this." Please wait and see. ”
The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Jin Liang suddenly found that in the new round of power division, Jin Liang did not take much advantage, except for Zhang Yang's party taishou, he only got the appointment of Wei County Taishou for Chen Lin, and the other generals only received the county magistrate positions in a few counties near Xiangyang. Who let him have too few famous people under his command, and Sima Hui and Hu Zhao's current reputations are not loud enough, at least not enough to convince these ministers to arrange county guard positions for the two of them. Jin Liang was naturally a little dissatisfied, and wanted to change the balance of power to avoid losing his dominance and even losing his right to speak in the future coalition regime.
Chen Lin, who followed Jin Liang to the court, said two words in time: "Du Wei", reminding Jin Liang. Jin Liang suddenly remembered that during the Western Han Dynasty, Gyeonggi Sanfu or Border County, in addition to the Taishou, also inherited the Qin system and set up the Duwei, who was in charge of the military defense of the county. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of the governor continued to decline, and in the sixth year of the Zhongxing Jianwu Dynasty, the capital test was cancelled in the inland counties, and the capital was omitted.
Jin Liang admonished the Empress Dowager He: "There are Wuhuan and Xianbei invasions in the north of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and there are Southern Huns, Black Mountain thieves, and Baibo thieves in the middle of the chaos. ”
Empress Dowager He doesn't know anything about this military and political matter, and even if she has asked Liu Wei to worship Jin Liang as her father, and she already trusts Jin Liang very much, she can't show that she is obedient to Jin Liang's words in the court, which will make other ministers look down on herself, so she looks around at other ministers, most of the other ministers present are civil servants who sit and talk about the Tao, only Lu Zhi has led the troops, and he will not let him go out to reply.
Lu Zhi thought about it carefully, and also agreed with Jin Liang's proposal: "Although the Yellow Turban Kou first Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Bao died, the Yellow Turban remnants have made chaos in various counties and counties, such as Black Mountain Thieves, White Wave Thieves, Qingzhou Thieves, and Hanzhong Rice Thieves, which are too numerous to list and difficult to quell. The empress dowager can set up lieutenants in local counties and state to summon soldiers, which can not only resist foreign invasion, but also intimidate rebellious ministers with bad intentions, and can also eliminate yellow turbans and other thieves, which can be used as a countermeasure for long-term peace and stability. ”
Lu Zhi is sincere and loyal to the monarch, and he is not attached to power, so he naturally can't guess Jin Liang's calculations, if he can guess Jin Liang's future layout, I am afraid that he will not agree to restore the governor system at all, and even disagree with moving the capital to Xiangyang.
Seeing that Lu Zhi affirmed Jin Liang's table, Empress Dowager He issued an edict to restore the lieutenant system in the local counties, and at the same time, at the suggestion of Jin Liang, made fine-tuning: set up a lieutenant at the state level to be in charge of the military, so as to divide the power of the state pastor and assassin history; At the county level, a governor is set up to be in charge of the military and to divide the power of the county guard; At the county level, a county lieutenant is set up to be in charge of military affairs, so as to divide the power of county orders. Of course, this system was distorted at the beginning, and the Empress Dowager He was afraid of offending Liu Yu and Liu Yan, so she sent an edict to let the local state pastor and county guard appoint the military chief on their own, which made the biggest decentralization function of this appointment lose its effect, but this will be used by Jin Liang in the future. Jin Liang is now using this to fight for his own interests, so he recommended Gao Shun as the lieutenant of Jingzhou, in charge of the Jingzhou military, and subordinate to the dual leadership of General Zhennan and Jingzhou Assassin Shi. Jin Liang then recommended Zhang Yang to concurrently serve as the lieutenant of Bingzhou, Zhang Liao to serve as the lieutenant of Xiangyang, Wei Xu, Li Feng, and Xue Lan as the lieutenants of Xincheng County, Nanxiang County, and Yiyang in Xiangyang's neighboring counties, and Qin Yi, Chen Wei, and Zhang Ning as county lieutenants of Xinye, Yidu, and Jiangxia counties, responsible for recruiting and training county soldiers. As for Cheng Lian and Song Xian, they were sent to Bingzhou and served as the governors of Taiyuan County and Yanmen County. In this way, the military power of Jingzhou and Bingzhou has been basically controlled by Lu Bu, plus the 40,000 horses led by Jin Liang himself, Jin Liang, who advocates "power from the barrel of a gun" in the future Xiangyang court, must be the core figure. (To be continued.) )
