Chapter 18: Zhang Miao's hesitation
The Li family was wiped out in the downtown area, and after the county guard hunted down the murderer to no avail, he actually received a report document about the Li family's plot to rebel. If www.biquge.info person who stands up and reports is just an insignificant person, maybe everyone is not convinced, but if that person is Wu Ke, the contemporary patriarch of the Chen Liuwu clan, this makes the report document full of weight.
This document is simply a good excuse for the Chen Liujun Shoufu, who is unable to catch the murderer and covets the money and food in the Li Mansion. The county guard government did not search for evidence of how the Li family was preparing for the rebellion, and directly moved all the money, grain, and rice piled up in the Li Mansion treasury to his own treasury in the name of confiscation of family property. I really don't know if Li Yong would be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin if he knew about it.
Because the Li family often oppressed the people to be rich and unkind, the seemingly hasty verdict of the county guard mansion did not allow too many people to stand up for the Li family. Of course, some doormen who were also greedy for money in the treasury of the Li Mansion still gathered at the gate of the county guard mansion to try to overturn the case for the Li family. But these doormen are not very loyal to the Li family, and when they heard that the county guard government wanted to arrest those sinners related to the Li family, these doormen who originally wanted to prevent the county guard from carrying the money from the Li family's treasury immediately dissipated in Chen Liucheng overnight. The Li family, who used to be powerful in Chen Liuyao, has really disappeared at this point.
After collecting all the wealth of the Li family, Chen Liujun Shoufu can be regarded as making a fortune. Zhang Miao, the county guard, looked at the mountain of money, grain and rice, and his brows, which had been locked for months because of the victims' pleas for help, finally calmed down. When Wu Yi went to the county guard mansion to discuss with Zhang Miao when to raise the army to deal with Taiping Dao, in Wu Yi's heart, this cheap senior brother who had always been unsmiling, actually invited Wu Yi to participate in the luncheon he held in the county guard mansion with a smile.
"Although the locust plague has receded, as the food in the hands of the victims has gradually run out, more and more counties and townships have sent to our officials for help. Now that there is this batch of money and grain from the Li family, at least it can ensure that the people of Chenliu County can temporarily relieve their urgent needs. ”
After the natural disaster in Chenliu County, Zhang Miao even raised a batch of grain and grass from Jizhou for disaster relief through his own connections, and after getting the Li family's wealth, he also thought about using it for disaster relief as soon as he got the Li family's wealth, rather than enriching it into his pocket.
In other jurisdictions, most of the county guards who have suffered disasters in the jurisdiction take part of the grain and grass in the treasury for disaster relief, but once the distributed grain and grass are eaten, most of the county guards ignore the victims who are waiting to be fed, even if there is a tragedy such as changing children and eating, they will not find a way to raise a batch of grain and grass to relieve the disaster. Because they feel that they have done their duty, what does it matter if the countless people starved to death?
Wu Yi admired a good official like Zhang Miao very much, but at this time he still did not forget that the most important thing was to determine a period of action against Taiping Dao: "Senior brother works hard for the people, and he is really a model for my generation." It's just that Senior Brother Don't forget, the power of Taiping Dao has become more and more huge, and once Taiping Dao develops to the point where it will take the initiative to provoke war against us, then these disaster victims that Senior Brother has worked so hard to help may be coerced into the chaos. At that time, the people who will be affected by the disaster will be far more than this, and perhaps even this Chen Liucheng will be affected by the war. ”
"Ziyuan, don't be impatient, since the Wu clan and the Wei clan are ready to deal with the Taiping Dao together, how can this official miss this good opportunity? It's just that now it's about to be the New Year's Festival, and at this time, I'm afraid that the army will not have the will to fight, which will affect the entire plan. Therefore, out of prudent considerations, the official decided to accumulate more grain, grass and money during this period, and when someone from the surrounding states and counties took the lead in attacking Taiping Dao after the New Year, the official took advantage of the situation to take action against Chen Liu's Taiping Dao. Zhang Miao said it very easily, it seemed that it was easy to smooth the Taiping Road, and there was some blame for Wu Yi for not being stable enough.
After a banquet, Wu Yi tried to persuade Zhang Miao three times, but Zhang Miao paid attention to it, and now he must focus on relieving the victims, strive to let the victims have a good year, and prepare to take the grain and grass donated by Wu and Wei's to distribute to the victims as seeds for spring ploughing.
Wu Yi walked out of the county guard mansion with a cold face, he saw that Zhang Miao was already a little impatient with him, and Zhang Miao would not listen to his opinion no matter how much he persuaded him. Even if he moves out of the name of his mentor Chen Yu, he will not care about that kindness, because he is not a person who values repaying his kindness.
In history, Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were friends, and in the battle of the princes of the Eighteenth Route against Dong Zhuo, he spoke disrespectfully to the alliance leader Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao wanted to kill him but was stopped by Cao Cao. Cao Cao said that Zhang Miao is our friend, if we can't even tolerate a few words of grumbling from our friends, how can we achieve great things?
Zhang Miao felt Cao Cao's life-saving grace, so he became closer to Cao Cao, how good is the relationship between the two? When Cao Cao avenged his father and attacked Tao Qian in Xuzhou, he once said to his wife and children at home that if I can't come back, you will go to Zhang Miao. What does this trust get in exchange? Zhang Miao actually led Lu Bu into Yanzhou at the most critical moment of Cao Cao's crusade against Tao Qian! The reason is just a few discordant words from Chen Gong, which made Zhang Miao believe it to be true. In the end, after Cao Cao broke Lu Bu in Puyang, Zhang Miao wanted to flee to Xuzhou with Lu Bu, but his subordinates cut off his head at night and gave it to Cao ****.
This kind of life-saving grace can be said to be betrayal, not to mention Chen Yu's grace of teaching more than ten years ago.
In all fairness, Zhang Miao is a good parent, but this guy's vision is really shallow and pitiful.
The main sect of Taiping Dao is the people who have suffered disasters, Zhang Jiao, the great sage and good teacher, said in the teachings that it is precisely because the sky has died that there are so many disasters, and Huang Tian will be the supreme god, and recreate a peaceful world, there is neither exploitation and oppression, nor hunger, cold, disease, nor fraud, theft, and everyone is free and happy. This is the basic doctrine and religious ideal of Taiping Dao. The hidden meaning of the doctrine is to overthrow the Han Dynasty, the dead 'Cangtian', and re-establish the Zhangjiao regime as the 'Yellow Heaven' of the people.
Wu Yi is also very sympathetic to those victims, but at the moment, he should first eradicate the tumor of Taiping Dao, and then consider relieving the victims, otherwise once Taiping Dao starts an incident, those victims will be coerced by the Taiping Taoist people into thieves who smash and rob.
And at this time, Zhang Miao still has to send out the precious grain and grass at any time, isn't this just that the grain and grass used by the Taiping Dao rebellion are insufficient, and he will send some grain and grass to talk about it before the war? When the Taiping Taoists ate the food given to them by Zhang Miao to attack Chen Liucheng, they didn't know if Zhang Miao would beat his chest and regret it?
If I remember correctly, next year, that is, in 184 AD, not long after the end of the year, the traitor Tang Zhou of Taiping Dao will go to the imperial court to report Zhang Jiao's plot to rebel, even if he hastily raised troops in advance, Zhang Jiao still led the disciples of the whole country to resist the imperial court soldiers and horses for more than nine months. If it weren't for Zhang Jiao's sudden illness and death, with his huge prestige in the hearts of Taiping Taoists across the country, he would have been able to recruit a group of fanatical followers to fight with him at any time.
Although the hundreds of thousands of sect members in Taiping Dao suffered heavy casualties in more than nine months, at the same time, how many large and small families did they plunder that were originally rich in food and clothing? How many originally harmonious families have been separated? Who gave them such the right to be so brutal when they inflicted their own pain on others? Aren't those big and small families developed through the hard work of generations of ancestors? Why should the family property accumulated by other people's ancestors through their hard work be plundered by the Taiping Taoists?
Historically, the Wu clan of Chenliu had a certain strength and scale before the Taiping Dao Uprising, but it was precisely because Yanzhou was one of the hardest hit areas of the Taiping Dao Uprising that the Wu family's property in Chenliu was also greatly impacted, and just when they were about to rely on Wu Kuang's help to regain their strength, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation to occupy Luoyang and kill Wu Kuang. Chen Liuwu fell into despair, and finally had to leave his hometown and follow Liu Yan, the old fox, into Yizhou, and his sister Wu Yuan was forcibly promised by Liu Yan to give his short-lived ghost son.
Wu Yi knew that most of the victims of the disaster had also suffered an unwarranted disaster before they became nothing, but Wu Yi didn't want his family, his parents and sisters, to suffer an unwarranted disaster. Even if it's for the sake of your family, you must not just sit still! Never!!
Since Zhang Miao refused to deal with Taiping Dao, Wu Yi would do it himself.
