The beginning of the uprising
This year, Da Sima Kongyong resigned due to illness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu and was appointed as the Grand Sima.
This year, the king and the little king of Wusun sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute. Because King Wusun has Chinese ancestry and Xiao Wang is of pure Hu blood, most of the people of Wusun are attached to Xiao Wang. And in order to win the hearts of the people of Wusun country, Wang Mang actually gave an uncharacteristic order: arrange the envoy of the little king of Wusun above the envoy of the king!
This is contrary to the ethics of the Confucian Three Principles and Five Constants that Wang Mang has always preached. Xiao Wang, the minister also. Don't mess with the rules of the monarch and ministers" Wang Mang not only did not listen, but ordered Manchang to be dismissed.
It's just that Wang Mang's behavior against his inner integrity this time did not bring him good luck. On the contrary, the countries of the Western Regions used this as an excuse to rebel one after another. The Yanqi Kingdom was the first to raise the anti-flag and kill the Western Regions Protector Danqin... The chaos in the Western Regions has been chaotic for 60 years! Until the famous lonely hero Ban Chao in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty redefined the Western Regions with 36 people.
Just when Wang Mang was hiding in the palace, gnawing on ancient books and studying ancient rituals, a news came that disrupted his war plan against Hungary. This is not bad nor good news: the new Dan Yu of the Xiongnu wants to make peace with the new dynasty...
In this year, the Xiongnu Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu died. His half-brother, who was named filial piety by Wang Mang, and was demoted to the Marquis of Suzhi by Wuzhu Liuruo Danyu, and Xian's successor was Wulei Ruoyu Shan Yu. Named his younger brother the king of Zuoguli. And Su Tuhu, the son of Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu and the king of Zuoxian, who was supposed to succeed to the throne, was demoted to the king of Zuo Tuqi.
Filial piety Shan Yu Xian can become the Huns' big Shan Yu, and he has to thank a Han Dynasty woman: Wang Zhaojun! After Wang Zhaojun married the Xiongnu, her idea of harmony was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread to her eldest daughter, Yimo Ju Ciyun; Later, the eldest daughter got married, and it was passed on to the eldest son-in-law, the right bone of Hou Xubudang. And the one who supports Xiandang Xiongnu Dadanyu is Wang Zhaojun's eldest son-in-law Xu Budang!
Su Budang made a political deal with Wu Lei Ruo Dan Yu Xian again: I support you to be a big Dan Yu, but you must make peace with the new dynasty. Xian didn't even think about it, so he agreed. So after Xian became the Hun Dadan, he sent someone to Chang'an to make peace...
March 1 of the first year of Tianfeng (14), solar eclipse. Wang Mang granted amnesty to the world. and issued an edict to dismiss the great Sima Lu merger; Taifu Pingyan was dismissed from the part-time job of Shang Shushi and Zhu Cao, the provincial servant. Miao is the big Sima. However, the natural disasters continued: in April, the summer frost and the vegetation died. In the middle of summer in June, the yellow fog is everywhere. In the early autumn of July, strong winds uprooted trees, rain and hail killed cattle and sheep...
This year, Wang Mang issued an edict: imitate the Zhou official royal system, set up pawns, even rates, big Yin, subordinate orders, and subordinate chiefs; There are also 25 state pastors and ministry supervisors. It is divided into six townships, six lieutenants, six teams, six suburbs, and six services, and the world is 125 counties and 2203 counties. The names of all counties have changed, and the names of counties have changed from one to five. The officials and the people can't remember, but Wang Mang thinks that he has a plan, thinking that if the system is changed, the world will naturally be calm. Therefore, he discussed these things with the ministers of the imperial court every day, and ignored such real major events as natural and man-made disasters and military conditions at the border gates.
The Huns were only thinking about making peace, which was a great thing for Wang Mang. Because he advocated war against the Xiongnu, the world was uneasy. At this time, the Huns took the initiative to ask for peace, which happened to give him a step down. Wang Mang immediately named Wang Zhaojun's two nephews, Wang She, and Wang Sa as the marquis of Zhande, and asked the two to envoy the Xiongnu to congratulate Shan Yu Xinli, and gave gold, clothes, and silk. And flickered and said, "Shan Yu your son, Shun Shan Yu Deng is still in Chang'an City." As long as you hand over Chen Liang, who killed my captain of Wuji and defected to your Huns 4 years ago, and finally bring you and others, we will return Deng to you." Wang Mang burned Chen Liang and others to death with the punishment of burning. Subsequently, Rupu's advice was adopted, the generals of the border passes were recalled, Chen Qin and other 18 generals were exempted from the titles, and the garrison of the lieutenant of Siguan Town was dismissed. An expedition of labor and mobilization was finally temporarily dismissed.
It's just that there is still a question in front of Wang Mang: Shun Shan Yudeng has been killed by Wang Mang in front of foreign envoys, how can he still get out? There is no choice but to continue to fool. Bribe the Xiongnu envoys and let them reciprocate. Wu Lei Ruo was furious, but he was newly established, and he had just signed a peace agreement with Wang Mang, so he had to tolerate it temporarily. It's just that small-scale incursions are frequent, and Wang Mang has to order another military camp for this reason.
This year, the rebellion in the southwest intensified. Yin Chenglong, the Grand of Yiju County, was killed. The king appointed Feng Mao as the general of the Ping Barbarians, and levied soldiers and food from the counties of Ba, Shu, and Qianwei on the spot to crusade against the southwestern Yi.
This year, Wang Mang issued an edict to change the currency for the fourth time. Reclaim the goods of gold, silver, turtles, and shells, and increase or decrease their value. Cancel the big and small money, and use the goods cloth and goods spring two products. It also stipulates that large amounts of money will be used temporarily, and that it will be discontinued after six years.
This year, Ning Shi General Hou Fu was dismissed, and Dai was appointed as Ning Shi General.
In the 2nd year of Tianfeng (15), Sun Jian, the general of the founding of the country, died, and Zhao Hong was appointed as the general of the founding of the country. General Ning Shi was dismissed from office, and Lian Dan was appointed General Ning Shi. Da Sima Miao moved to the left, and Chen Mao served as Da Sima.
Uraresa sent an envoy back to ask for the body of his son Deng. Wang Mang had already found a scapegoat at this time: 3 years ago, it was the disgusted general Chen Qin who secretly reported to me and instigated me to kill your son. Now I'll put him in jail and give you a breath, okay? Chen Qin later committed suicide in prison...
Wang Mang ordered Wang Xian to be the ambassador, and together with Wang She, he sent Deng's coffin back to the Xiongnu. Wu Lei Ruo Yu Yu Paiyun, luxurious mother and son went out to welcome the funeral. After Wang Shu handed over the coffin, he returned to Chang'an to resume his life. Wang Xian continued to go to the Xiongnu, gave Wu Lei Ruo a single large amount of gold silk, and named Wang Zhengjun's son-in-law and Yun's husband as the Duke of Hou'an; When the son of the cloud is extravagant, he is the queen of peace. Such a generous reward, just ask for one thing: can you change your name: the Xiongnu changed its name to "Gongnu" and changed its name to "good at" If you agree, I will give you a seal ribbon on the spot...
If you get it in gold, change it! But it doesn't mean that the Huns really became 'Gong', and I really became 'good' just for me! It's time to send troops to robbers, and I'm still doing it!
Because the Xiongnu never really surrendered, more than 200,000 border soldiers had to wait all the year round, and their logistics support was all paid by the local government. The two counties of Wuyuan and Dai suffered particularly hard, and the people rose up as thieves one after another. Wang Mang appointed Kong Ren as the general of the thief hunt, and it took more than a year to calm down...
On February 24, the 3rd year of Tianfeng (16), there was an earthquake, heavy rain and snow. Dasikong Wang Yi wrote to resign, but Wang Mang did not allow it.
In May, Wang Mang issued an edict, stipulating that officials should be paid a total of 15 grades: the lowest bureaucracy, 66 Hu a year; The highest four auxiliaries, ten thousand a year.
In June, the embankment on the west bank of Changping Pavilion collapsed, blocking the water. Dasikong Wangyi was ordered to go on patrol. After returning to the dynasty, he united several flattering ministers Shangshou, "This is the "River Map", "filling the water with soil" is a sign of the death of the Huns, Wang Mang was overjoyed, and ordered Song Hong and Ren Meng to send troops to the border to prepare for the northern expedition against the Huns.
July 29, solar eclipse. Wang Mang granted amnesty to the world. Grand Sima Chen Mao was dismissed, and Yan You was appointed Grand Sima.
Feng Mao sent troops to attack Ju Town, quelled the rebellion of Southwest Yi, but in vain, he was recalled by Wang Mang and sentenced to death in prison. In winter, Wang Mang sent Lian Dan and Shi Xiong to command the troops and levy the cavalry of Tianshui and Longxi County; There are 100,000 officials in Guanghan, Ba, Shu and Qianwei counties, and 200,000 people are transferred. At first, it was quite smooth, with thousands of beheadings. Later, the dispatch of military rations became more and more difficult, and Wang Mang had to order the recall of Lian Dan and Shi Xiong. The two did not listen, and wrote a request to increase the local endowment, and at the same time promised to put down the rebellion... Yin Feng Ying resolutely refused to give it, and wrote a letter opposing the imperial court's use of troops against Southwest Yi, which aroused Wang Mang's anger and ordered Feng Ying to be dismissed. Soon after, Wang Mang figured it out and reappointed Feng Ying as the commander of Changsha County. It's just that the rebellion of Southwest Yi is still in full swing. The barbarian Ren Gui of Yueshan County killed the county Taishou Meigen and established himself as the king of Qionggu...
This year, Wang Mang sent Wang Jun, the general of Wuwei, Li Chong, the capital of the Western Regions, and Guo Qin, the captain of Wuji, to lead troops to the Western Regions. Most of the nations went out to the outskirts to greet them and offer the valley of soldiers. Because 3 years ago, Danqin, the capital of the Western Regions, was killed by the Yanqi people, Wang Jun wanted to take the Yanqi Kingdom and avenge Danqin. Wang Jun let Guo Qin and He Feng lead the elite soldiers behind, and he and Li Chong led more than 7,000 soldiers from Shache, Qiuzi and other countries to go first. Unexpectedly, the king of Yanqi had already prepared, he surrendered to Wang Jun on the one hand, and on the one hand, he laid ambushes on various important roads in the country, and on the other hand, he rebelled against Gumo, Fengli, and Weisu countries... In the end, Wang Jun was killed by ambush soldiers. Li Chong led the remnants of the army to retire to the country of Qiuzi. After Guo Qin and He Feng arrived with elite soldiers, they killed the Yanqi army and returned to China through Cheshiguo. Wang Mang ordered Guo Qin to be named a general and bearded; He Feng is a collector of Hu Nan.
This year, Wang Sunqing, a henchman of Zhai Yi who had rebelled against him nine years earlier, was arrested. Wang Mang ordered the imperial doctor, Shang Fang, Qiao Tu and others to brutally dismember them in the name of "studying the meridians and curing diseases".
In June of the 4th year of Tianfeng (17), Wang Mang held a ceremony in the Ming Hall and gave the princes soil. But this thatched soil is just a symbol, and the real fiefdom will not be available until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon? As a result, the princes separated from Wang Mang...
This year, Wang Mang used troops for the four Yi and the military expenditure was huge, so he sent Xi and the soldiers to strictly implement the five equals and six reels seven years ago throughout the country. The six kinds of taxes of salt, wine, iron, mountains, loans, and copper smelting were levied on the people of the whole country, and if anyone dared not to pay them, they would be punished on the spot for serious crimes or even the death penalty... The end result is that "the rich cannot protect themselves, and the poor cannot survive themselves." So they became thieves, and they stood up to the mountains, and the officials could not cover them, and they became more and more promiscuous."
Gua Tianyi, a native of Linhuai County, Xuzhou, was the first to attack in Changzhou. Later, there was the old woman Lu Mu of Langxi County, Xuzhou, who was unjustly killed by the county magistrate because her son was a county official in Haiqu County. Lu's mother avenged her son, scattered all her family wealth, gathered thousands of people, killed the slaughter of Haiqu County, and went into the sea as a thief. The team quickly expanded to 10,000 people.
This year, a great famine broke out in Jingzhou, and hundreds of hungry people elected Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, local tyrants from Xinshi Township, Jiangxia County, as leaders, and hundreds of people raised troops to fight against the recklessness. Subsequently, Ma Wu, a native of Huyang County, Nanyang County, Wang Chang, Cheng Dan, and others from Wuyang County, Yingchuan County, joined in, and the scale reached seven or eight thousand in a few months. Attack to the northwest to leave the hometown, and then take the green forest mountain at the junction of the three counties of Nanyang, Nanyang and Jiangxia as the base, and then called the green forest army... At the same time, Zhang Ba of Nanjun and Yang Mu of Jiangxia County also raised troops respectively, each with more than 10,000 people.
The war against the New Dynasty and against Wang Mang finally burned again 10 years after Zhai Yi and Liu Xin failed to raise troops against Mang!
This time, Wang Mang was really confused: can anyone tell me that the end of the new dynasty is really coming?
Wang Mang quickly sent envoys to various places to appease the bandits, and as long as you disbanded immediately, you could be forgiven. But the thieves no longer listened to Wang Mang at this time. The helpless envoys had no choice but to return to Chang'an and report that "the people are not allowed to live in peace because of the law." The income from hard work is not enough to pay taxes. Even if you keep your door closed, you will be implicated in the crime by your neighbors who mint money and coerce copper. The people couldn't survive anymore, so they all became thieves" and Wang Mang was furious when he heard such a return, and dismissed the envoy from office. And if the messenger returns that "the troubled people are cunning and should be punished" or "these clowns who jump off the beam are not to be feared, they should be killed by themselves", Wang Mang will be happy and will promote the messenger to an official...
In the 5th year of Tianfeng (18), Wang Mang ordered Fei Xing to be the pastor of Jingzhou to suppress the Green Forest Army. He was specially summoned and asked about his strategy. Fei Xing replied that he should put the people first and pacify him. Wang Mang was furious and ordered Fei Xing to be dismissed.
This year, Fan Chong, the evil man of Lang, raised troops in Ju County, only more than 100 people at the beginning, and then transferred to Mount Tai, and the team expanded to more than 10,000 people in one year. There are also Langya people Xiao An, East China Sea people Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, and Yang Yin also raised troops. Tens of thousands of troops were joined and activities were carried out between Qingdao and Xuzhou. There are also Diao Zidu, who are from the East China Sea, and they also raised troops to operate between Xu and Yan. Wang Mang ordered the local county to send troops to conscript, but they couldn't conquer it...
This year, Wang Mang issued an edict: to examine in detail all military officials and border officials above the doctor since the founding of the People's Republic of China 2 years (10). Anyone who embezzles and enriches himself will have 4/5 of his family property confiscated to pay his military salary. It also stipulates that the officials can sue their generals, and the slaves and maids can sue their masters.
This year, Wang Zong, the grandson of Wang Mang and the son of Wang Yu, was found to have secretly dressed the Son of Heaven and carved the seal without permission, and was forced to commit suicide by Wang Mang. Wang Zong's sister Wang Yu married Wang Xing, the general of Wei, as his wife, and was also found to have cursed his aunt and killed his maid, and Wang Xing and Wang Yu were also forced to commit suicide by Wang Mang. Wang Mang's cousin, Wang Gen's son Wang She, served as General Wei.
