Chapter 1254: Chaos Anyang
Anyang-gun is a great place to be. The tall and steep Luoying Mountains shield him from the cold air from the west, making the climate here very easy for agricultural cultivation, and the vast plains provide Anyang with countless fertile arable land, which makes Anyang a large population and relatively wealthy.
Of course, the wealthy county of Anyang had a vicious neighbor, and that was the former Qin State. The border army of the Qin State has been raising Anyang as a fat pig for a long time, and basically there will be a large-scale invasion every two or three years. If you come in, you will rob, and if you rob it, you will leave, and you will only grab food and money, people basically don't kill much, and if you kill too many people, how can you still create wealth for them?
Deng Pu has been doing this for many years.
At that time, the state of Chu was focused on defending against the aggression of the state of Qi, and the second was not good, so he had to be vigilant at all times to guard against the ruthless suppression of the boss. As for the evil neighbor of Qin, because they don't have any territorial claims, they don't pay much attention to it, and they only lose the property of a county, with the wealth of Anyang, it can be recovered quickly, and every time it is robbed, the imperial court will give some symbolic bereavement as usual.
Not many people died anyway!
But this kind of situation makes Anyang people hateful, no one wants to be raised as pigs, and the wealth created by hard work for several years will be robbed of all the time.
This situation did not begin to change until Zuo Lixing became the commander of the Western Army, and the Western Army formed by Zuo Lixing rose rapidly within a few years and began to compete with the Qin army, making it more and more difficult for them to enter the army day by day. This also made the people of Anyang County really live a good life for a few years.
Then, it was back to the same way it was. The Western Army was completely annihilated, and Zuo Lixing was killed in battle. Qin Jun began to do his old business again, and the people of Anyang County began to be raised as pigs again.
Later, An Ruhai exiled himself to the Western Army to revive the prestige of the Western Army, and Anyang County was a little relieved, but also worried that the old things would happen again. Sure enough, it didn't take long for An Ruhai to lead the army through the Luoying Mountains into Qi and never return. The state of Chu was defeated in Qi, Suqian led the main force of the Western Army into Jinghu, and Anyang County was empty again.
Just when the people of Anyang County began to worry about their property again, the battle between Ming and Qin began, and the Qin people no longer had the strength to launch large-scale looting activities against Anyang, and the people of Anyang could finally live their own small lives with peace of mind. Within a few years, they were once again rapidly becoming wealthy.
But what happened next, I'm afraid that any smart Anyang person can't imagine that hundreds of thousands of Qin people actually defected to the Chu State under the leadership of Bian Wushuang, and the last 10,000 Qin troops and more than 100,000 Qin army dependents settled in Anyang.
This has become a nightmare for the locals of Anyang. So many Qin people settled in Anyang, but it's not just that people stay here and forget it, they need land, they need water, where do they come from? Naturally, it was eaten from the mouths of the original Anyang people.
The rich land in Anyang is all owner, after these Qin people settle down, they are basically wasteland, raw land, Qin people are poor, everyone used to be poor and didn't think much, but now in Anyang compared with others, this is amazing, whose eyes are not red?
Naturally, the dispute began.
The Qin people are warlike and brave. And Anyang has been in the midst of war for more than 100 years, naturally it is not easy to get along, more importantly, the two families are feuding, count forward, Anyang people who have not been robbed by the Qin people are only afraid of a handful.
I didn't like each other in the first place, but now we get along day and night, and it's a strange thing if nothing happens. Therefore, in Anyang now, the fight between the people is simply commonplace.
At first, people who don't like each other beat each other, then it developed into fights between families, and finally it evolved into a group fight from village to village. Dead people, it's all too common.
If it's just a fight between the people, the problem is that there are still troops stationed in Anyang on both sides. In the end, the army also began to participate to varying degrees.
The armies on both sides often took off their uniforms, put on civilian clothes, and carried knives to join the group fights on both sides, and their participation made the fight almost turn into a battle, and the number of deaths increased every time.
The generals on both sides pretended to turn a blind eye to this.
The two sides also looked at each other at each other, and did not directly lead the army to participate in the war, and they both felt that they had given each other a lot of face, and also gave the court the dignity it deserved.
The people of Qin came to other people's territory, and they originally felt that they were a head shorter than others, if they looked weak again, they would definitely be bullied even more, and the family members of Lao Tzu were fighting for your Chu people, suppressing bandits, shouldn't I get some benefits?
As for the people of Anyang, I think that you robbers are now homeless and have fled to Lao Tzu's territory, and they used to rob us of our money and our food, but now they are good, and even the land is going to be robbed, and they can't bear it at all.
The contradictions are in an irreconcilable state. Of course, this also shows that the Chu court basically has little control over the local area, and the authority of the court is weakened, and the army stationed in the local area will naturally become stronger.
The high-ranking members of the army pretended to be deaf and dumb, so they only suffered Zhu Yi, the guard of Anyang County. The county guard, who took office with An Ruhai, did not live a good life for a few days, and then began a hellish ordeal.
The nominal head of the military and political affairs of Anyang County is helpless in the face of this situation, and the officials under his command do the most every day to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, but most of them are useless, today's problems have been resolved, and new problems will appear tomorrow.
When the sky gradually darkened, Zhu Yi finally returned to the county town, he had just gone to deal with a large-scale fight between the two sides, and the reason for the accident was that the two sides were fighting for water.
Now is the time for the crops to grow, water is naturally indispensable, but who comes first and who is last, who has more and who is less, in the past, the local village elders can sit together and discuss and regulate, but now there is no discussion, basically relying on the fists to speak, this time, the two sides are wrapped in several villages, each gathered thousands of people to fight.
Zhu Yi was shocked after receiving the report, Pegasus rushed to the rescue, and asked for an agreement on food, military salaries and other things, invited the military commanders of both sides to the scene, and the three parties sat down to discuss, which finally reluctantly solved the problem. Otherwise, if the two sides really fought, the number of casualties would not be a small number.
But now is the peak season for water use, and the problem will certainly not arise in one place, can you really invite people from both sides together every time? Threatening these things with military salaries is actually just an empty word, and if you really dare not give it, those big-headed soldiers dare to rob it. That is, the military governors on both sides didn't want to tear their faces with him, and they just gave him a little face.
But human affection is a thing, and if you use it once, you will have to do it once, so what will you do next time? It's okay to say a little bit about the Western Army, after all, I have worked with me for many years, and the Qin people are just stones in the pit, and they can't move at all. After maintaining it for more than half a year, the generals of the Western Army of Chu State have begun to be dissatisfied with themselves, thinking that they are biased towards the Qin army.
But what can I do?
I originally thought that Anyang was a good place, but when I jumped in, I found that this was really a fire pit! Zhu Yi lay on the horse weakly. Of course, if the Qin people don't come, the current Anyang is indeed a good place, they were beaten down by the Ming Kingdom, and they don't have the strength to come to Anyang to rob, and the Anyang people will naturally be able to live a good life.
But the reality is so cruel, the Ming people defeated them, and they went to the territory of the Chu people to claim the king and hegemony, Great Chu, when did it fall to this point? Thinking of the current chaotic situation in the country, Zhu Yi couldn't help but groan again, as a civil official, he ran on a horse, and his inner thighs had long been worn out.
In the current Chu State, it seems that the life of officials in every place is so difficult, and it is still a chore to be transferred to another place, otherwise you will not be an official. Zhu Yi sighed, speaking of which, he was relatively lucky in Anyang, at least no one had openly rebelled and raised the flag to kill officials! In other parts of Dachu, rebellion has become commonplace, and the Jiangnan side has been particularly appalling recently, and there is a county guard's head cut off and hung on the city tower.
Go back and get a good night's sleep, don't think about anything, refresh yourself, maybe something strange will pop up tomorrow. Where is the Anyang County Guard now, he is really following the buttocks of both sides and wiping his buttocks, not to mention the hard work, and he is not pleasing on both sides.
What's going on?
Zhu Yi, who was lamenting in his heart, finally rubbed to the gate of the county government, and when he turned over and dismounted, the saddle brought to the wound on the inner thigh, and he couldn't help but shiver in pain. Several guards hurriedly came over to support him and carried him to the house.
Before he took a few steps, Zhu Yi saw his long history hurriedly greeted him, and his heart trembled again, could it be that he was out of the city for a while, what happened in the city? Otherwise, why hasn't this guy returned home or stayed in the mansion?
"Nothing happened, did it?" With the hope of an eventuality, he asked Nagashi, who bowed to him.
"Fujun, nothing happened in the city. But the imperial court sent someone, and now they are in the public hall! Changshi lowered his voice: "The light car is simple." ”
"Who is it?" Zhu Yi asked. Now that the imperial court's control over the local area has been greatly reduced, Zhu Yi is really difficult to be respectful to the current imperial court.
"Luo Liang!" Long History.
"What?" Zhu Yi jumped up like a rabbit with an arrow. Who is Luo Liang? The emperor's number one confidant, although he was snubbed by the emperor because of his poor performance in the east, was still one of the emperor's most trusted people. How could such a person come to Anyang quietly.
There is a conspiracy! Zhu Yi immediately popped out of his mind with these three words.
