Chapter 3: The Imperial Court's Response
The scale of the Taiping Sect in this world is far greater than that of the official history or romance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the beginning, the number of people was small, all of them were 10,000 people, but with the coercion and absorption, the number quickly swelled to millions of people. Many Qu Shuai, who are fighting on their own, will not even care about the agreement with the family or even the emperor, because their children have basically been sent to the autonomous region, and there is nothing to worry about!
For a time, the grain merchants in the states were directly looted, but those who resisted were directly bulldozed. Yuan Valve's largest chamber of commerce in Yuzhou was looted, but fortunately, the remaining Yuan Yu did not have much resistance, but this also led to the robbery of Yuan Valve's belongings and food.
Go to people and keep the land, people and land are lost, go to the land and keep people, people and land are saved.
Yuan may not know this truth, but they know better that the real horror of the family is not the power in their hands, but the huge family members. The Li clan in Longxi has declined, why don't everyone dare to attack him, just because almost all of them are their clansmen on the Longxi side, and the huge clan base is that they are still the guarantee of the existence of the gate valve level.
What is a family, even if there is no money and no status, as long as the ancestral hall does not fall, as long as the family tree is not extinguished, everyone gathers tens of thousands of people to work together, concentrates the money on a few elites, at least a few officials can be piled up, and then based on these officials, feedback to the family, and at the same time, the family members are the biggest backing of these officials, which is the key to the strength of the family.
The great families all knew how to protect themselves, and the Taiping disciples did not dare to persecute too much, so they let Yuan Valve stay. However, those small families or local tyrants who couldn't think of it were unlucky, and they were directly slaughtered, and their wealth and food were also robbed.
This is the basic principle set by Zhang Jiao, that is, to hoard food to the maximum. This is a follow-up plan for an early uprising, since the early uprising, then it means that the people may not even be able to spring plough.
Since there is no way to plough in spring, there will be problems with the food in the uprising area, and there is nothing to see at this stage, but after autumn, it is very likely that they will be exterminated by the imperial army because of the lack of food.
Maybe Li Yu didn't think of it, right? Just a reminder of 'be careful of the people around you' allowed Zhang Jiao to improve the plan of the uprising, so that the various inconveniences caused by the original uprising in advance were quickly made up. The key is that the Yellow Turban Commanders have no worries, so as long as the enemy in front of them is in front of them, whether it is a family or something, they will not compromise easily.
The generals are desperate, and the soldiers below are naturally willing to work hard, and the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army has at least doubled compared to history! Those families who were born in the country have also hoarded a lot of weapons and equipment over the years, and the leather armor is even equipped with a lot, such as Yuan Valve, and even a horse shed, which has more than fifty good horses. Even, the Yellow Turban Army also robbed the horse farm of the Han Dynasty and expanded the cavalry force of more than 5,000 people.
The Xuzhou Mi clan was also robbed, many members were killed, and Mi Zhu had to flee south with his younger brother and sister. They have already obtained information, and now the entire Central Plains is making trouble with the Yellow Turbans, and it is impossible to go north and west, so they can only go south. Fortunately, they also have some friendship with the autonomous region, and have also set up a few small shops in the autonomous region, so I just hope that there will not be a disaster.
It's not just the Mi family, seeing that the Central Plains is full of yellow turban thieves, the people who are unwilling to follow the thieves can only be forced to go south and enter the land of Wuyue to develop, and this number is constantly expanding. And Zhang Jiao had already warned the major canal commanders in advance that if the people voluntarily went south, they could not be obstructed. The commanders also had interests in the autonomous region, so they naturally obeyed Zhang Jiao's orders.
These people who went south have many historical ministers and many historical generals. Of course, as the Zhen family began to go south, Zhen Yi's daughters naturally followed him south; At the same time, there is another person, that is, the foot trainer who took refuge in the south with his mother!
The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves almost did not break out south of the Yangtze River, in fact, the southernmost part was Zhao Ci in Jiangxia County, and there was no Yellow Turban Army further south. This is not only in this world, but also in the original history, perhaps as Li Yu guessed, the descendants of the main Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban Army are actually hidden in the land of Wu Yue, right?
At this moment, the atmosphere in Luoyang can be described as very dignified. The Yellow Turban Army erupted with such a powerful combat power and destructive power, which was beyond their expectations. Originally, no matter how strong the peasant movement was, it was impossible to control it. In the final analysis, even if these untouchables have the courage to rebel, they do not know how to deal with internal affairs, and they do not know how to split the land and become kings.
Most of them just wander around like rogues and then keep robbing. When they are fixed in one place, they can't loot others, they don't produce themselves, and their food is exhausted, that's when they're finished.
Originally, it should be like this, who knew that this group of guys is so powerful now, and the direct gathering of people is about to reach one million, and they are rushing towards the Tiger Prison Pass. Not to mention anything else, the Baibo Yellow Turban on the Hedong side and the Nanyang Yellow Turban on the Wancheng side are all persecuting Luoyang.
There are even ministers who have said that maybe the capital should be moved! It means that Chang'an is the original capital of the Han Dynasty, and seeing that the Han Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, why not move back?
"Most of the Yellow Turban thieves are just ordinary refugees, untrained and untrained in the art of war. As long as the court is willing to exterminate and the soldiers are attentive, it may not be impossible to pacify! "But I don't want someone to stand up immediately, but it's Henan Yin Hejin!
"Is there a plan?" Liu Hong looked at the relative he had supported and asked.
Seriously, he was actually very disappointed in He Jin. At the beginning, he was promoted because he saw that he was not from a big family and had nothing to do with them, so he should be able to use it for himself.
Who knew that the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to make friends with the family, as if holding the family's thighs was more comfortable than his emperor's thighs. He didn't know that for He Jin, he was already a relative, no matter what, he was already a royal person, and this thigh had already been hugged, so naturally he had to expand the scope and strive to go further, and it was best to achieve the level of Dou Wu.
It also formed a family staff group, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other family members are in the scene. This listing is actually a reminder given by Yuan Shao, although it is risky, it can also allow him to go further.
Although He Jin is not the kind of existence that has three major and five coarse beings, he has not read many books himself. Unlike Zhang Fei, who read a lot of books but pretended to be rude, he was really ignorant, and in the end he was fooled by those staff, but he also became someone else's puppet.
After learning about this, Liu Hong was completely disappointed with this relative, and sure enough, the mud couldn't support the wall......
It's just that now the Manchu Dynasty ministers all said that they wanted to move the capital, and only He Jin stood up and said that he wanted to fight, which suddenly made him ease up a little. Let's hear how he plans to fight.
"The minister thinks that although there are people who commit rebellion in the world, there are naturally loyal people. can edict the world, give the state pastors in various places the right to recruit troops to resist the Yellow Turban thieves; Order the children of good families who are loyal to the local people to defend the country, let them form a volunteer army to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and reward them afterwards; In the end, the imperial court sent out a four-way army to deal with Sili, Hedong, Nanyang and Jizhou Yellow Turbans, as long as the Sili crisis is resolved, you can attack Jizhou Yellow Turbans with all your might! As long as the three brothers of the Zhang family are punished, the rest of the remnants of the Taiping Sect are not to worry!
Finally, I asked Your Majesty to dispatch the soldiers of Wuyue and Jingxiang, and even the soldiers of the autonomous region, to the north to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Jiangxia, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other places! He Jin talked eloquently, and he didn't work hard to memorize this recital.
These suggestions were all proposed by Yuan Shao, and others also expressed their approval, and even Xu Yu helped to supplement and improve them. What He Jin didn't know was that these proposals were actually hints from Yuan Kui.
Assassin history is in charge of military power, then it is not assassin history, but state pastor, so the restoration of the state pastoral system is already on the bow, and Liu Hong cannot be allowed not to do it; Let the children of local good families form a volunteer army, and more loyal royal families can be forced into battle. In the end, nothing good did for this kind of volunteers, and it is now.
In the end, the soldiers from the south were arranged to fight, in fact, the main thing was to consume the strength of the autonomous region, and it would be best if all the soldiers of the autonomous region could be killed. On the contrary, it is possible to openly suspect whether the autonomous region has self-respect for the army, or even has a bad plot, even if it is just to divide the relationship between the autonomous region and Liu Hong!
Liu Hong is also aware of this, but it is true that there are still problems in the north to protect themselves, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, so it is impossible to really transfer the manpower of the autonomous region. It's just that there are only 10,000 people there, and this is still for the sake of insurance at the beginning, and it is the result of the family's suppression.
knew that the Taiping Church was out of control, but I was afraid that he would have allowed the autonomous region to expand its army by more than 30,000. It's good now, even if a group of people are temporarily recruited, I'm afraid it won't be able to be used!
He Jin's words were recognized by the generals, and even the Taiwei Yang Ci, and even the other ministers kept silent, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Of course, Liu Hong couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm, and finally waved his hand and announced the appointment of He Jin as a general, and the president of all walks of life in the world. At the same time, let the courtiers recommend talents and form the so-called four-way army.
Another contest between the family and the imperial party began, but this time it was a draw. The four-way army, the manpower recommended by the family occupies the second, namely Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun; The imperial party also received two recommendations, namely Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo.
Huangfu Song was originally a northern Taishou, and last year it began to develop into a eunuch party. The Huangfu family began to be a member of his grandfather's generation, and reached the peak of his father's Huangfu Gui's generation, and he could be posthumously crowned as a great Si Nong after his death. It's just that in Huangfu Song's generation, he is the only one who comes out, and he is also a northern Taishou, in fact, it is mainly the existence of soy sauce.
In order to go further, Huangfu Song had to take refuge in the eunuch party, in fact, he knew better in his heart that behind the eunuch party was the imperial party!
Dong Zhuo is just a child of a good family, although he has made many military exploits, but his background makes him unpopular. The key is that he looks a little fierce and ugly, which does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics.
This year is the era of looking at faces, and even the entire feudal era is the era of looking at faces, and if you look ugly, you won't even be allowed to participate in the scientific examination, if it weren't for the line of Empress Dowager Dong, I'm afraid that it would not be so easy for Dong Zhuo to become the current Hedong Taishou.
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are okay to say, but Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun are bull-tempered, and they say it in a high-sounding manner, in fact, the original meaning is: If you don't give me soldiers, don't give me food, don't give me money and horses, don't let go of the party members who were imprisoned before, and don't apologize for the mistakes we have committed, we won't move! It's up to others to knock you out!
Well, that's pretty much what the advice meant......
Unfortunately, the courtiers seemed to have been prepared and advised one after another, and at this time it was impossible to oppose it. When the national disaster was at hand, even Liu Hong had to compromise, but fortunately, the family did not dare to be too presumptuous after the matter had come to this point.
After Liu Hong promised, it immediately started working at high speed. The family paid for it, and Liu Hong paid for it, and in a very short period of time, he gathered 50,000 new troops. Coupled with the five schools of the Northern Army, there are also nearly 80,000 combatable troops! (To be continued.) )
