Prelude to the Great Chaos

This year, a generation of writers of the Han Dynasty, but Yang Xiong, who was infamous for defecting to Wang Mang, died. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This year, Uretyrosan died. His younger brother, Zuoxian Wang Yu, succeeded him as Hudu, and the corpse was Gao Ruo Yu. Send Wang Zhaojun's two grandsons, Da and Qu Hao and King Li, to Chang'an to pay tribute. Wang Mang sent his nephew Wang Zhaojun out to greet him and asked to meet Wang Zhaojun's eldest daughter Yun and eldest son-in-law Xu Budang (i.e., Hao's parents). After luring the husband and wife here, he coerced them to go to Chang'an. As a result, the father and son of Su Budang and Hao were sent to Chang'an. The youngest son of Yun and Subdang took his mother Yun and fled back to the Xiongnu from the path.

After the father and son of Xu Budang and Hao came to Chang'an, Wang Mang named Xu Budang as Su Bu Shan Yu and Hou An Gong; Extravagance for Hou Anhou... Which one is Wang Mang playing? It turned out that Wang Mang saw that Xu Budang had always advocated peace, and if he could establish Xu Budang as the Xiongnu's Shan Yu, wouldn't the Xiongnu surrender without a fight? Wang Mang came up with such a bad idea! Straight and angry, the corpse Dao Gao Ruo Yu immediately mobilized troops and horses and entered the Kou frontier!

In 19 years, Lian Dan went to quell the rebellion in the southwest, but the more it was pacified, the more chaotic it became. The two tribes of Dong Silkworm and Ruodou in Yizhou County killed the county guard and rebelled; The people of the Yi people of Yueshan County also killed the officials and rebelled... Wang Mang recalled Lian Dan and sent Guo Xing and Li Ye to suppress the rebellion of Ruodou and other clans; Send the priest Sun Xi to clean the thieves of the rivers and lakes...

At the same time, in order to support Su Budang to be a Xiongnu Shan Yu, Wang Mang ordered to recruit Ding Nan, capital prisoners, and civil slaves in the world, known as "Zhu Tu" and "Feng Yong", as sharp pawns. and levied taxes on the officials and people of the world, thirty taxes and one tax, to cover the military expenses. Then he ordered: all the officials below the secretary of state and county should maintain the military horses.

In addition, Wang Mang also recruited strange people from all over the world. Anyone who promised to make meritorious contributions in the battle against the Xiongnu would all be given the next position. There are tens of thousands of conscripts from all over the world: some say that they don't need boats to cross the water, but only horses to connect, and they can cross millions of troops; Some people say that they don't need military rations to send troops, as long as they take medicine, they can never go hungry; Others say that they can fly with wings, a thousand miles a day, and they can spy on the enemy of the Huns... Wang Mang immediately held the first flight test in human history! The man braided the feathers of the big bird into two wings, decorated his whole body with bird feathers, and then bracketed the motive, and sure enough, it flew... Although after a few hundred steps, he will fall. But this is indeed the first challenge to the sky in the history of mankind, and can anyone else do it? In order to boast about foreign countries, Wang Mang made this person a manager on the spot and rewarded him with chariots and horses.

There is also a person recommended by Han Bo in Shuye County, Donglai County. He is one zhang long, has a large waist and ten girths, and is called Ju Wuba. Born on the Penglai Seashore, the car can't be carried, and the three horses can't win. Therefore, he specially used a cart and four horses, built a tiger flag, and sent Ju Wuba to Chang'an to see His Majesty... This Han Bo wanted to shoot Wang Mang's ass, but who knew that he actually slapped the horse's feet! Wang Mang wants to be a giant monarch himself, Han Bo won't know it, so why don't you avoid the three words 'giant tyrant'? And this 'Wu Ba' doesn't mean that I don't want to be domineering, and deliberately use this name to satirize me? The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I issued an edict: Stop at Xinfeng County, don't come to Chang'an! and changed his surname to Jumu's name, taking the meaning of 'Wen's mother bestows the seal and helps his overlord'. At the same time, Han Bo was summoned to the DPRK and abandoned him for the crime of 'unsuitable words and great disrespect'.

At the beginning, Wang Mang lured Xu Budang to come to Chang'an, and the great Sima Yanyou once admonished him. However, Wang Mang did not listen, but ordered Yan You and Lian Dan to send troops to the Xiongnu, and gave them the surname Zheng and the second general of Zheng. Before sending troops, Yan You once again bitterly admonished "The matter of the Huns is not to worry, and now we should worry about the thieves in Shandong" Wang Mang was furious and ordered Yan You to be dismissed from the official position and reappointed Dong Zhong as the Great Sima.

On January 27, 20, Wang Mang granted amnesty to the world. Changed the yuan to the emperor of the earth.

In February, Wang Mang issued an edict: I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. After the Yellow Emperor set the world, there were 5 generals, 5 generals, 25 generals, 1,250 generals, 12,500 captains, 37,500 Sima, 112,500 waiters, 225,000 people, 450,000 scholars, and 13,500,000 scholars... I have been ordered by the Talisman, and I have been the emperor of Zen, and I should respect the example of my ancestors. So set up the position of the five major Simas in the front and back, and gave the state pastor as the general, the county pawn, the company rate, and the big Yin as the partial general, the subordinate commander as the general, and the county commander as the captain...

On July 16, Wang Lutang in the front hall of Weiyang Palace was blown down by a gust of wind. What does this change of heaven warn you about? Wang Mang thought: It is probably his fourth son Wang Lin who was made the crown prince, but his brother and his third son Wang An is only a new Jiapi, and God is dissatisfied with this, right? So Wang Mang issued an edict to cancel Wang Lin's crown prince, named him the king of Tongyiyang, and named Wang An as the new king.

Wang Mang accepted the saying that the people who looked at the qi 'have earth gong elephants' and ordered the construction of nine temples in the south of Chang'an City. On September 19th, Wang Mang personally went to see and raised three times. The Yellow Emperor Taichu ancestral temple is 40 zhang long, 17 zhang high, and the remaining eight temples are halved. It cost more than 100,000 yuan, and tens of thousands of soldiers died.

This month, due to heavy rain for more than 60 days, Wang Mang issued an edict: the people donated 600 husks of rice to serve as Lang officials. Lang officials can increase the number of lulu or give the lord to attach the city.

This year, a man named Ma Shiqiu in Julu County wanted to gather Yan Zhao Zhuangshi and enter Chang'an to assassinate Wang Mang. It was found and sued by the **** of the big sky rafters. Wang Mang immediately ordered Ma Shiqiu to be killed. He also sent the three princes to govern the party in poverty, and the series became a major case, and thousands of people were killed. He was made an auxiliary marquis.

This year, there were too many people who died due to the private minting of money and non-frustrated treasures, and Wang Mang had to order a lighter law: stipulating that the smugglers and their wives were not official slaves and maids, and the officials and neighbors who knew about it and did not report it were guilty of the same crime. Those who are not frustrated with treasures shall be punished by the people for one year, and the officials shall be dismissed.

This year, Taifu Pingyan died, and Tang Zun was appointed as Taifu and was named the Marquis of Pinghua.

Zhi Yun, a native of Runan, studied the astronomical calendar, and he wrote to Wang Mang, persuading him to return to the throne and re-establish the descendants of the Liu family as the son of heaven. In this way, we can respond to the people and turn the crisis into a blessing. provoked Wang Mang's anger and ordered Zhi Yun to be sent to prison. It was also Zhi Yun's life that should not be extinguished, and later Wang Mang granted amnesty, and finally saw the light of day again.

In January 21, Wang Mang's wife and third son Wang An, as well as two grandsons Wang Gongming and Wang Gongshou, died of illness within a month. When Wang Mang was in the Han Dynasty because he was excluded by Fu and Ding's relatives and took the new capital to the country, he had children with three maids: Wang Kuang and Queen Ye; Huai Neng gave birth to a son, Wang Xing; Enlightened Birth Queen. Later, when Wang Mang returned to Chang'an, these children were left in Xindu for fear of causing gossip. But now that Wang Lin committed suicide and Wang An died of illness, Wang Mang no longer had any concubines around him, so he brought these concubines to Chang'an. And named Wang Xing as the Duke of Gongxiu, Wang Kuang as the Duke of Gongjian, Wang Ye as the Mu Xiu Ren, and Wang Jie as the Mu Ji Ren.

To say that Wang Mang's wife died of illness and his youngest son Wang Lin committed suicide, there is another case involved: it turned out that Wang Mang's wife was blind because Wang Mang repeatedly killed his children and grandchildren. The crown prince was in charge of taking care of his mother. And Wang Mang's wife has a maid Yuan Bi, who has hooked up with Wang Mang, Wang Lin's father and son. Because of the fear that the adultery would be exposed, Wang Lin and Yuan Bi planned to kill Wang Mang day and night.

Wang Lin's wife is Liu Su, the daughter of Liu Xin, the national teacher, who has a family history and can watch the stars. When he saw the two stars of gold and wood gathering together, he knew that there was something different, so he said to Wang Lin, "I am afraid that there will be a white-clothed meeting in the palace", and this white-clothed is a mourning dress. Could it be that Wang Mang's fate is indeed going to die, and his plot will succeed? However, the excited crown prince was waiting for Wang Mang's edict to demote himself to the king of Tongyiyang and move out of the palace. Wang Lin was extremely resentful, at this time Wang Mang's wife was seriously ill, Wang Lin sent a book to his mother, saying that his father treated his children and grandchildren very harshly, and the eldest brother and second brother were forced to die in the prime of life. Now that the child is still strong, I am afraid that once the mother is unexpected, the son will not know where his fate lies...

And on this day, this letter happened to be discovered by Wang Mang, who came to visit his wife, and he was immediately furious. A few days later, his wife died of illness, and Wang Mang was even more suspicious, and ordered Wang Lin not to enter the palace for funeral. After the funeral, Wang Mang ordered a detailed investigation of the matter. Yuan Bi was first taken down and tortured, and Yuan Bi, who couldn't stop being tortured, confessed to adultery and conspiracy one by one. Wang Mang ordered Yuan Bi to be secretly executed so that his family would not be publicized. Then he gave Wang Lin poisoned wine, but Wang Lin was unwilling to take poison and chose to kill himself. Later, Wang Mang issued an edict to Liu Xin, the national teacher, "Wang Lin does not understand star science, and it is his wife Liu Su's false words that led to Wang Lin's crime" Liu Xin understood Wang Mang's meaning, and had no choice but to force his daughter Liu Su to commit suicide.

Wei Chengjun Da Yin Li Yan and the diviner Wang are in good condition. Wang Guo once said to Li Yan, "The new room is about to die, the Han family is revived, and the Li family is supplemented." You are optimistic, and soon there will be a fulfillment" Not only that, but Wang Guo also wrote more than 100,000 words of his own prophecy to prove what he said. Who expected that the East Window incident happened, and Wang Kuang and Li Yan were both killed by Wang Mang.

Wang Mang sent Jing Shang and Wang Dang to lead troops to pacify the thieves of Dingqing and Xu; Cao Fang was sent to lead troops to help Guo Xing quell the rebellion in the southwest of Dingju Town. None of them can be grammed.

In the spring, Wang Mang ordered the transfer of the world's grain and silk to Xihe, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Yuyang counties, each with millions each. Prepare to attack the Huns, and help Libu to be the Huns. However, Su Budang soon fell ill and died, and Wang Mang ordered his son to attack the queen Angong, and married his queen to Hao, who was very respected. As long as the soldiers and horses are fully adjusted, they will send troops back to China to do Shan Yu. However, this plan never came to fruition. In the chaos of the world, Wang Mang, Hao, and Mica have only the last two years left in their lives...

In the previous year, due to Wang Mang's law of reducing the punishment for privately minting money, in the past year, the number of people who committed the crime of privately minting money and those who sat together reached 100,000, and those who died of sorrow reached 100,000.

Wang Mang couldn't help but feel sick when he saw that people were thinking about him. The Tiger warriors broke into the sacrificial temple of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, slashed left and right, and destroyed the doors and windows. He also used peach soup and ochre whips to sprinkle the walls of the house. And the high temple was used as a barracks, so that the captain of the light car was stationed. Wang Mang remembered Wang Guo's letter again, so he appointed Li? For the general, Yangzhou pastor, given the name of the saint, ordered to send troops to fight the thief. Chu Xia, a native of Shanggu, volunteered and was willing to go to recruit Guatianyi. Wang Mang immediately appointed Chu Xia as Zhonglang and let him go. Gua Tianyi was really recruited and surrendered. But before Wang Mang could seal his official position, Gua Tianyi died. Wang Mang could only order his body to be buried and set up a shrine on his behalf. Give Gua Tianyi a melon Ning man. Later, Wang Mang granted amnesty to the world, wanting to use this to restrain the thieves.

Who knew that one thief had just died, and the second thief was born again: Qin Feng gathered thousands of people in Nan County, and Chi Zhaoping, a woman from Pingyuan County in Hewei, gathered thousands of people... Wang Mang summoned his ministers and asked about the strategy of leveling the thief. The ministers all said that the thieves had sinned against the heavens and died in a moment, and His Majesty had nothing to worry about. Therefore, there is a left general Gongsun Lu said, "The thieves swarm, and the officials are to blame." Taishi Ling Zongxuan, Taifu Tang Zun, National Teacher Liu Xin, as well as Zhang Han, Sun Yang, Lu Kuang, and Cui Fa, should all be killed to thank the world. At the same time, he made peace with the Huns. The trouble of the new dynasty is not in the Xiongnu, but in this fiefdom" Wang Mang was furious when he said this, and ordered the tiger guards to drive Gongsun Lu out. It's just that the initiators of the establishment of Liuzhen, Xi and Lu Kuang, were moved to the left to Wuyuan County, wanting to make the people angry.

After the death of Wang Mang's wife, Yang Chengxiu offered a talisman and suggested that he should be established again. And said that "the Yellow Emperor took 120 women as concubines that year, and eventually became immortals" This sentence moved Wang Mang, so he sent 45 doctors and 45 people to branch the world and select ladies.

This year, Jingzhou Mu received an edict from Wang Mang, strictly ordering him to supervise the arrest of thieves. At this time, the Green Forest Army was quite arrogant, and Jingzhou Mu did not dare to resist the order, so he had to personally lead 20,000 soldiers to conquest. Wang Kuang and others also led the Green Forest Army to attack, and defeated the official army in Yundu County, Jiangxia County, killing thousands of people and taking all the baggage. Jingzhou Mu fled north and was ambushed by Ma Wu. Ma Wu only hooked the wheel of the car in which Jingzhou Mu was riding, and Jingzhou Mu closed his eyes and waited for death. However, Ma Wu only killed his horse, and did not dare to kill the highest governor of the place. The reason is that "we were forced by hunger, cold, and harsh government, and we had no choice but to fall into the grass." But he didn't dare to kill the imperial court's palace" Wang Kuang led the Green Forest Army to defeat Jingzhou Mu, and then captured Jingling County, Jiangxia County, and plundered between Yundu and Anlu counties. The team grew to more than 50,000 people, and then withdrew to the green forest and mountains.

In this year, Da Sima Shi was captured by the rebel army according to the chapter of Yuzhou, and he had to be put back. After he returned to Chang'an, he wrote to Wang Mang, telling the truth... But Wang Mang didn't listen, but instead sent him to prison and denounced him as a slander. and issued an edict to reprimand the four auxiliaries and three dukes. After being reprimanded, no one dared to speak out about the thieves, and the local states and counties did not have the right to send troops without the orders of the central government.

Only the Yiping County Company led the field to recruit more than 40,000 people over the age of 18 to ensure local safety. Fan Chong and others were afraid when they heard the wind and did not dare to enter the country. Then Tian Guo wrote a book, and invited himself to go out of bounds to fight the thief, and everything was broken. Wang Mang promoted Tian Qianqing and Xu Erzhou as pastors. Tian Guo also wrote to Wang Mang, suggesting that the envoys ordered by His Majesty be returned on the same day, so that the county could rest. Since he has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, the thieves in Qing and Xu Erzhou no longer need to worry about His Majesty... It's just that Wang Mang has always been suspicious of Tian Qian, so he suspected that he had ulterior motives for this move, and sent an envoy to recall Tian Guo to Chang'an and worship him as a teacher. And the power of the army is held by someone else. As soon as the field was gone, Qi Di was defeated. Fan Chong and others grew rapidly, and finally became a famous rebel army in the last years of Xinmang - the Red Eyebrow Army!
