The emperor issued an edict to remove Dong Chunzuo Xiaowei, the prince of Shunzheng, from the post of general, expelled him from the army, and exempted him from his post of inspecting Pengcheng Taishou and changed it to Wenshan County Taishou.

Where is Wenshan County? In the northwest of Bashu, poor mountains and bad waters, barren land. For Dong Chun, who is prestigious and powerful, this is equivalent to "exile" from the government. Dong Chun fell, and although his political opponent did not send him to hell, he also achieved the goal of expelling him from the army and staying away from the political center.

The fall of Dong Chun dealt a heavy blow to the strength of the Guanlong Longxi aristocratic group, and the main reason for Dong Chun's fall was not the troubles of the thieves in Xuzhou, but the political aftermath of the battle for imperial unification. Dong Chun, as one of the main ministers who supported Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, to enter the Eastern Palace, when the Eastern Crusade was about to begin, the emperor and the reformers as the center naturally had to find an opportunity to depose him, so as not to bury unforeseen hidden dangers in the domestic political situation.

Dong Chun's demotion is the result of the political struggle for the top elites in Middle-earth, and for the high-ranking nobles and bureaucrats in Middle-earth, without considering the political factors, the lesson is that you must do your part well, otherwise even if your backer is very big and hard, but you give people a handle and tell the truth, making your backer very embarrassed and faceless, will he still protect you? I've kicked you to the end earlier.

The thieves of Qizhou returned to Qi County, and the crisis in Lu County was partially alleviated, and Duan Wencao was able to take a breath, although this was very different from Zhang Xutuo's original intention, but everything had advantages and disadvantages, and Zhang Xutuo won the cooperation with the Qilu aristocratic group with Duan Wencao as the leader. This kind of cooperative relationship, compared with a series of strict consequences brought about by the suppression of thieves, the benefits it brought to Zhang Xutuo are not the same, so Zhang Xutuo personally rushed to the Bianqiu to meet Duan Wencao.

Duan Wencao felt that Zhang Xutuo was cheap and well-behaved. You slapped me in the face first, and now you come to give me a sweet date, when I'm an idiot? However, since we have cooperated, it is not interesting to fight for this bit of idleness, it seems to be petty and childish, and there is no measurement. Duan Wencao invited Zhang Xutuo to a banquet, and then revealed the news that Dong Chun was deposed. This news has not yet been transmitted to the counties, but Duan Wencao's brother is in the center, and similar news can still be revealed first, and it has nothing to do with confidentiality. Duan Wencao's meaning is very straightforward, as a Guanlong person, to seek benefits in the territory of Qilu, he must win the cooperation of the Qilu people.

Dong Chun is an example. The Xuzhou thieves caused trouble in the Tongji Canal, and also plundered the heavy troops of the entire fleet, and what is especially incredible is that the Xuzhou thieves with the heavy troops of this entire fleet escaped from Dong Chun's encirclement and interception, and marched thousands of miles into Mengshan, if there is no secret help from the Xuzhou people behind this, how can it be? Similarly, there is a reason behind the rebellion of Qizhou thieves, not what everyone says about anti-servitude, anti-taxation, and ineffective relief, it is all nonsense.

Imagine that the general people of Middle-earth have gone through more than 400 years of division and war, generation after generation of people have suffered hardships in the war year after year, and endured great suffering that ordinary people cannot even imagine. We must not underestimate the endurance of the ordinary people of Middle-earth for suffering and poverty, the desire and expectation of the ordinary people of Middle-earth for peaceful reunification, and the enthusiasm and passion of the ordinary people of Middle-earth for defending their homeland and country. The previous expeditions to the west, or the upcoming expeditions to the east, were all foreign wars, all for the expedition against the barbarians, for the stability of the frontiers, for the safety of Middle-earth, for the great cause of the peaceful reunification of Middle-earth, and for the well-being of the general public.

Of course, the Middle-earth Crusade to the East with the strength of the whole country will inevitably increase the collection of taxes and the collection of conscription in certain areas, which will bring a heavy burden and even pain to a part of the general public, but the general public knows that this is short-lived, can be endured, can be overcome, and can be expected in the future, and the pain and despair brought to the general public by the foreign war waged today on the basis of peaceful reunification cannot be compared with the pain and despair brought to the general public of China by more than 400 years of division and war.

Therefore, the real reason for the rebellion that broke out in Shandong, including the north and south of the river and even in Xuzhou, was the anti-Eastern Crusade.

Who is against the Crusades? It is not the common people of Middle-earth, not the ordinary people of Middle-earth who look forward to eternal peace and unity, but the aristocratic group of Middle-earth, the noble group that rules Middle-earth and shares in the power and wealth of Middle-earth.

Why did the aristocratic clique oppose the Crusades? Because of the reform, because with the peaceful reunification of Middle Earth, the government of Middle Earth irreversibly expanded from the government of the gate lord clan to the centralized government.

In the Middle-earth government, it is the Gatelord clan who holds the power and wealth of Middle-earth, while in the centralized government, it is the emperor who holds the power and wealth of Middle-earth, the center. From the point of view of power and wealth, in the government of the gate lord clan, the gate lord clan completely controls the distribution of power and wealth, so they naturally enjoy the greatest power and the most wealth, while in the centralized government, the emperor and the central government completely control the distribution of power and wealth, in order to ensure peaceful unity, it is inevitable to weaken the power and wealth of the gate lord clan, so the most acute and fierce and fundamental contradiction appears.

A series of national defense and diplomatic grand strategies carried out by the emperor and the reformers as the center, such as the western and eastern expeditions, were nominally aimed at cracking down on foreign captives, protecting the Middle Earth, and safeguarding the great cause of peaceful unification, but in fact they were to establish martial arts and increase the authority of the emperor and the central government, and at the same time use the war to alleviate internal contradictions, use military merits to win over some of the new nobles who supported the reform, and strike at some of the old nobles who opposed the reform, and at the same time win cooperation with the neutral nobles, and then on the basis of the internal and external environment tending to be stable. Carry out an all-round radical reform, strive to destroy the government of the clan in the shortest possible time, rebuild the centralized system, and then thoroughly consolidate and develop the great cause of the unification of China in terms of system, law, etiquette and morality, so that China can enjoy the prosperity and prosperity brought about by peaceful reunification from generation to generation.

For today's Shandong aristocratic bureaucracy, it is necessary to find out the real reasons behind the rebellion in order to make a correct strategy to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves, otherwise, they will be crushed to pieces in the ensuing roaring political storms.

It is impossible for Duan Wencao to clearly explain the real reason for the rebellion of the thieves in Qizhou, but he can take Dong Chun as an example, and use the political reasons for the fall of Dong Chun to clearly express the real purpose of the rebellion of the thieves in Xuzhou.

Although Zhang Xutuo is a fierce general in the army and has never had in-depth contact with high-level politics, the people he comes into contact with every day are nobles, many of whom are children of proud families, and they have been exposed to it for a long time, and they can see the way if they don't understand. Dong Chun is a famous general in the army, a nobleman in Longxi, a bigwig-level figure in the Longxi aristocratic group, and even more prestigious in the military, such a figure actually fell before the Eastern Crusade, and has nothing to do with the Eastern Crusade, which is enough to explain the problem, showing that Dong Chun is a heavyweight who opposes the Eastern Crusade, and the emperor and the central center tried every means to depose such a figure to the poor mountains and remote areas before the Eastern Crusade, which is an obvious thing.

As for why Dong Chun opposed the Eastern Crusade, Zhang Xutuo didn't know much, but Duan Wencao still explained it vaguely, because of the dispute over the imperial system. But why did Dong Chun intervene in the battle for imperial unity? This involves a more complicated question, why has the emperor been prevaricating and delaying the matter of the prince since the death of Prince Yuande? The monarch of a country is important, and the prince of a country is equally important, which is directly related to the stability of the country, this truth is known to everyone in the world, but the emperor does not know?

Of course, the emperor knew, but the emperor set a grand ambition, he must complete the reform in his lifetime, rebuild the centralized system, for this he needs absolute power, absolute authority, and the establishment of the prince will inevitably give birth to a new force in the government, and once this force is used by the opponent, it will strictly restrain the emperor, which will directly affect the emperor's promotion of reform, so the emperor will try every means to delay the establishment of the prince.

In order to prevent the reform and prevent the reform, the conservative aristocratic forces did everything they could, and one of the most important means was to find ways to rebuild the prince, and the case of Yang Yong, the king of Qi, who broke out not long ago, was a powerful counterattack by the emperor against the conservative forces.

Zhang Xutuo's political sensitivity is still very high, and his ability to understand is also very strong. Duan Wencao said Dong Chun in his mouth, but in fact, he was "beating" him through Dong Chun, thinking of the complicated situation in Qilu, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. It's not that Duan Wencao is threatening him, but that he, like Dong Chun, is indeed a member of the conservative forces.

In the past, the Heluo aristocratic group looked forward to Yang Suma, the Duke of Chu, and Yang Su, like the first emperor, was a moderate reformer, everything was not in a hurry, step by step, if one generation did not work, two generations, take your time, there will always be a time when it will come to fruition. After Jinshang ascended the throne and became emperor with his support, the reform ideas changed rapidly, from moderate to radical, and the contradictions between the two also intensified. Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, was old and died of illness, and his political inheritance was inherited by his eldest son, Yang Xuangan, who was a moderate reformist like his father, but as the reform forces were controlled by the center, the moderate reformers were also classified as one of the conservative forces.

Weifu was the focus of reform, and Zhang Xutuo participated in a series of military reforms, many of which were resisted or even opposed in Weifu. Zhang Xutuo himself was very dissatisfied with many systems that harmed the interests of the military, so he was very conscious and classified himself as a conservative on reform, although he was not opposed to reform.

If behind the rebellions in Shandong are the shadow of the conservative aristocratic forces in Middle-earth, then the rebellion and thieves in various places will become a "touchstone", and those who are ineffective in fighting the rebellion can be classified as conservative forces, and of course they will be hit like Dong Chun, and the victors of the thieves can be classified as supporters of reform, and will be rewarded by the emperor and the center, and their career will be bright.

Duan Wencao is warning Zhang Xutuo that it is okay to cooperate, but don't do anything against the Eastern Crusade in the name of cooperation, otherwise, once you turn against each other, you will die.

"Envoy, Mengshan Suppression of Thieves, when will it start?" Zhang Xutuo asked.

"We'll have to wait." Duan Wencao said, "Mengshan's suppression of thieves is a major matter in Qilu, and it needs to be led by Duke Chen (Zhou Fashang) and the Right Houwei Mansion, and give military support to each county. In addition, Mengshan borders Pengcheng, and in order to encircle and suppress Mengshan, it is necessary to win the cooperation of Pengcheng. ”

Zhang Xutuo bowed his hand, "In this case, a certain first led the army back to Qi County to kill the thieves in Qizhou." ”

Duan Wencao stroked his beard and smiled, "Pengcheng Cui Juncheng sent a letter, saying that Langya Dou sent an envoy to Pengcheng to discuss the matter of joining forces to suppress the thief, and he also intended to send an envoy to Bianqiu to discuss with a certain person. You see......"

Zhang Xutuo understood as soon as he heard it, Duan Wencao hoped that Qi Jun would stay. Now Duan Wencao's troops are very limited, and the Xuzhou thieves are eyeing the front line of Surabaya, as long as there is a chance to attack and plunder, which makes the situation in Lu County very tense, if the Qi army can leave a part of the threat, forming a threat to the Xuzhou thieves, Duan Wencao can free up his hands to requisition the local clan and township regiments to form a local army, and with Pengcheng and Langya counties to formulate a joint strategy to suppress the thieves, and complete the preliminary preparations for encircling and suppressing Mengshan.

Zhang Xutuo pondered for a moment and said, "After returning to Qi County, I immediately transferred troops to Cao Shuzuo and Qin Qiong to lead the army to help the envoy, how about the king's will?" ”

Duan Wencao was overjoyed, "Good! ”
