Chapter 392: Causing Turmoil

p

The plan was decided, and Wei Shuo immediately sent Liu Muzhi and Sima Xiuzhi south to be responsible for buying sea fish and making canned food.

It is said that Liu Muzhi does not need to go out for such a trivial matter, but it is related to the key to disaster relief, and because of the complicated situation in the southeast, he had to send important ministers to take charge.

"Daohe, Sanwu is a gathering place for the Jiangdong family, so be careful about dealing with it."

"As long as the family does not hinder Hexi from raising grain and building workshops, you should not take the initiative to conflict with it, so as not to lose a big loss because of a small one."

"In addition, the Wang family has been jealous of Shangwei because of Wang Shenai, and Wang Ningzhi is holding the position of Huiji Internal History."

"If you go to the meeting, you will definitely be troubled by it, so you must deal with it carefully."

"And the most important thing is that the Heavenly Master Dao in the southeast coastal area is huge, so you must not conflict with the other party."

"However, at the beginning of the suburbs of Jianye City, Dao He and Shuo had a relationship with Sun Tai, and I think he will not embarrass us."

"In short, when you arrive in Jiangdong, as long as the procurement is successfully completed, Shuo authorizes you to act cheaply."

"Please rest assured, the minister will live up to your trust and will do a good job."

……

In the twentieth year of Taiyuan, just after the Spring Festival, the "Hexi Xunbao" suddenly broke out that locust plagues and droughts would break out in Liangqin and Qinzhou this summer.

As soon as the news spread, it caused an uproar inside and outside.

In ancient times, because the theory of heaven and man induction was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the outbreak of large-scale natural disasters in a dynasty often meant that the superior was immoral.

Sometimes even the Son of Heaven had to issue an edict against himself, and in serious cases, he would dismiss the first and auxiliary ministers.

Therefore, most people in Hexi are opposed to whether or not to make this natural disaster public.

They were worried that someone would make trouble under the pretense of a natural disaster, but most of them insisted on it.

Wei Shuo thinks differently from the others, he wishes that someone would jump out and make trouble, so that he can take the opportunity to eradicate some hidden evils.

It must be known that whether it is the suppression of the family, or the suppression of Buddhism and the naturalization of Hulu, Hexi has stood on the opposite side of many forces.

Secretly, I don't know how many people want to break Wei Shuo's body into thousands of pieces, but they are forced to show their heads because of the great power in Hexi.

If these forces are allowed to remain hidden, the greater the harm they will bring in the future.

Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the outbreak of this natural disaster to uproot all kinds of hidden dangers.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of the outbreak of natural disasters in Hexi spread, all parties immediately became ready to move.

Some disgruntled people took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that this natural disaster was God's punishment for Hexi.

There are also some people who hate Hexi and directly plan several rebellions.

In the early years, there were constant rebellions under the rule of Hexi, from the hometown of Wusun to the Hexi Corridor, there was no place where there were no rebellions.

However, due to Wei Shuo's strong military power, these rebellions did not affect the foundation of the rule.

In addition, with the implementation of policies such as the government military system, the Juntian system, and the three-long system, Hexi's control over the local area became more and more tight, and the possibility of rebellion became less and less.

However, the influence of the powerful family and the commander of the Hu clan in the local area will not be easily eliminated, and some forces are just forced to temporarily choose to hibernate due to the situation.

Now with the advent of natural disasters, under the provocation of people with ulterior motives, the disgruntled powerful families and the leaders of the Hu clan have jumped out

However, these people knew that Hexi was extremely powerful, and they would never be able to shake Wei Shuo's rule on their own.

As a result, they sent people to various parts of Hexi to find corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Even if Wei Shuo repeatedly cracked down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there was no guarantee that every official would be honest and honest.

As a result, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, under the influence of 'people with hearts', wantonly embezzled money and food for disaster relief and oppressed the people.

In the middle, some people deliberately fanned the yin wind and lit the yin fire, which eventually provoked a civil uprising.

In the end, these people also secretly contacted a force that was deliberately ignored by the people up and down Hexi - Buddhism.

If you want to say who hates Dadu Hu the most, Buddhism, if not the first, should be in the top three.

Dadu Guardian Shuo not only personally knocked Buddhism to its peak, but also cultivated a new Heavenly Master Dao to compete with it for living space.

Although a large number of Buddhist forces have moved out of Hexi, a small number of stalwarts remain.

In the face of the new Heavenly Master's path advancing step by step, the Buddhist forces could only retreat and linger in the temple.

Due to the lack of Kumarosh to reconcile with it, the remnants of Buddhism gradually embarked on the extreme path.

A small number of fanatical Buddhists hated Hexi and soon colluded with the rebels in an attempt to overthrow Wei Shuo's rule.

……

At the beginning of March, Yang Jin, the leader of the Baima people in Wudu, in the name of the descendants of Yang Sheng, the former lord of Qiuchi, called himself the king of Qiuchi, and gathered more than 3,000 people to start an incident.

At the same time, the former leader of the begging Xianbei was incorporated to the dissatisfaction of the tribe and announced the uprising in Pingxiang, Luoyang County, Qinzhou.

Because Pingxiang was not only a lair for the Yue Qian, but also scattered a lot of begging Xianbei tribes.

He actually let Yue Qiangui successfully gather 5,000 rebels, and he called himself 'King of Qin', 'Great General' and 'Da Shan Yu'.

In mid-March, the Buddhist monks colluded with the powerful Li clan of Dunhuang, and the two sides not only gathered more than 1,000 Buddhists and young people, but also issued a document to defend the Buddha.

All of a sudden, smoke erupted in all parts of Hexi, and there was a great tendency to complete collapse.

Even though Wei Shuo had expected it before, he was still surprised when the news of the rebellion came from all over the country.

However, this also gave Hexi an opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and Wei Shuo immediately ordered the Xiang army and government soldiers in all parts of the country to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

After receiving the order of General Zhenxi, the soldiers and armies of the government and the Xiang army marched to the rebel area one after another.

In fact, don't look at the rebellion in various places, it is quite strong, but it is difficult to shake the foundation of Hexi, and it is not the opponent of the Hexi Army at all.

The counterinsurgency forces cooperate with each other, step by step, and never take risks to attack.

Surround the rebels with superior forces, and then sweep them away with thunder.

However, due to their different interests, the rebels cannot echo each other, so they can only fight their own camps.

As a result, the rebellion soon disappeared under the thunderous blows of the Hexi Army.

In less than half a month, tens of thousands of rebels were killed by the Hexi army.

Nearly 100 powerful families and Hu Luqu Shuai were implicated in the rebellion and were ordered to be detained by Wei Shuo pending trial.

By late March, the rebellion had largely subsided, but the repercussions were far from over.

First, the insurgency has not only exacerbated the already stretched food shortage, but has also caused great damage to the local economy.

Second, the rebellion also made Wei Shuo realize that Hexi's control over the grassroots was far from as good as he imagined.

With the help of this counterinsurgency, Wei Shuo carried out a major purge of grassroots organizations in various places.

A large number of retired soldiers and soldiers of the government army were arranged to serve as neighborhood chiefs, first-class chiefs, and party chiefs at the grassroots level, and the three-chief system was strengthened.

In the end, this rebellion dealt another heavy blow to the Buddhist forces, a large number of temples and fields were seized and confiscated, and some monks were forcibly returned to the laity.

In addition to Buddhists and powerful families, there were also many Hu people involved in this rebellion.

Most of these Hu people were dissatisfied with the policy of turning Hu into Xia implemented in Hexi, and tried to continue to maintain the tribal clan traditions.

How to deal with the rebellious Hu people made Wei Shuo feel very tricky.

Because Wei Shuo has always set up a posture for the top and bottom of Hexi to treat the Han, Qiang, Di, Xiongnu, and Xianbei ethnic groups equally.

After all, in the current era, the Han people in the north occupy an absolute disadvantage.

If we don't unite all those who can be united, we don't know when we will be able to strengthen ourselves.

Therefore, national integration is the trend of the times.

At present, the policy adopted by Hexi is to first conquer the Hu tribes with swords and guns, and then assimilate the other party with culture and religion.

To this end, Wei Shuo also ordered the introduction of the Chinese language, and ordered Hu Lu to wear Hanfu and give him a Chinese name.

At present, the Hu have not yet completely returned to Hexi, if they wantonly connect the Hu people of all departments, will it cause a bad impact?

After repeated discussions between Wei Shuo and everyone, the two principles of killing the first evil and coercing heavy punishment were finally decided.

All those who participated in the rebellion were all exterminated, and all others, whether blindly obeyed or forced to obey, were all exiled to the border of the Western Regions.

After dealing with the rebellion, the people up and down Hexi finally began to focus all their efforts on disaster prevention.

Wei Shuo sent his important minister Liu Muzhi south to Jiangdong to raise grain, and at the same time began to arrange disaster prevention matters.

As the Metropolitan Government and the local government vigorously arranged disaster prevention matters, the hearts of the people in various places gradually calmed down.

In order to prevent people from taking advantage of natural disasters to make profits, Wei Shuo specially wrote to the Quartet, sternly warning a group of businessmen and families.

At the same time, in order to encourage everyone to tide over the difficulties together, Wei Shuo also took the lead in donating money and materials.
