Chapter 50: The End of the Uprising
In Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, the tense atmosphere has been swept away these days, and all the people are smiling.
Seriously, there are almost no people who can be called people in Luoyang City. It's either a powerful or a wealthy businessman, or a shop opened by their family or something. These days, the displaced people who have fled from other places are silently waiting for relief under the walls outside the city, but during this period, I don't know how many people have frozen to death and starved to death......
The city and the outside are completely two worlds, the people inside are smiling, and the people outside look at the rising sun with numb expressions, and then silently muttered in their hearts: "One more day......
The door that is open for a limited time every day is now completely open, and there are small officials on both sides to clean the ground, as well as drive away those homeless people who are disgusted when they see it, and today this main road will welcome a group of Han heroes!
I waited from morning to noon, and saw that at two o'clock in the afternoon, an army slowly appeared on the horizon. Led by Zhu Jun, after the death of Huangfu Song, he took over the position of the commander and officially led the army.
Looking up, when Zhu Jun saw the gate of Luoyang City after a long absence, he was also emotional.
At the beginning, the three of them were in high spirits, vowing to wipe out the group of yellow turban thieves in the Eight Desolations, take advantage of the situation, and work hard for the rise of the family. But when he didn't want to come back here, Lu Zhi was already guilty, and Huangfu Song had died on the battlefield, only he survived and returned here, but he couldn't be happy in his heart.
"Emperor's edict, Zhu Jun, the right Zhonglang general, can hand over military affairs and come to the palace to discuss matters!" He had just come to the city gate, but he didn't want a yellow gate to come to him to announce the decree under the escort of several Yulin soldiers.
"Whoa!" Zhu Jun had no choice but to accept this holy decree, although he could see that this holy decree had the intention of depriving him of his military power.
This is actually not surprising, originally a three-legged stand, but now he is the only one who leads these tens of thousands of troops. What if Zhu Jun had some bad idea, led this tens of thousands of troops into Luoyang to slaughter the Han Emperor, and then raised a puppet or became the emperor himself? Regardless of whether such a ridiculous thing is possible or not, it is impossible for the Han Emperor to allow a general to hold military power for a long time. It would make him feel very insecure!
The most important thing is that many people in the Yellow Turban Army are from poor families, and Zhu Jun is also from a poor family, God knows if he resonates with the concept of the Yellow Turban Army? No one can guarantee this. After all, in the eyes of those family lords, as well as the ten permanent servants and even the royal family, the people and the poor family at this moment are all a group of disloyal and unfilial guys.
This also makes for a long time to come. It will be more difficult for the poor to be reused. The lives of the people have become more difficult, but who cares?!
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Jun finally came to the main hall and greeted the Han Emperor Liu Hong with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
In these years, there was no title of emperor, so it was generally called 'Your Majesty'. At the same time, the Han rites do not prostrate, it will only appear when the sacrifice is celebrated, and the other party will return the salute after the salute, perhaps this is the so-called 'ritual exchange'.
"Qing has worked hard, give me a seat!" Liu Hong is worthy of being the emperor for several years, and everything in his demeanor and etiquette is so calm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Jun thanked him, and then sat down in the seat next to him.
Actually, I really want to come. Later generations may also have a certain degree of advancement in standing and playing. Look at it now, the ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides are kneeling there, and the ugly thing is that they have to kneel to participate in the deliberations, if it weren't for the cushion under them, I'm afraid it would not be a privilege, but a torture.
The next thing is really not nutritious, as if it has been prepared early in the morning, Emperor Han also casually inquired about the specific situation of the bandits, and Zhu Jun also did not hurry to recite what he had memorized last night.
Yes, that's the most depressing thing. The battle situation cannot be reported according to the truth, and the interests of many families are involved, so it must be distributed in the most reasonable way. He Zhu Jun is just a broken family from a poor family, if he doesn't do this, he is afraid that it will not be more than a month. will lose the official hat directly because of a mistake made outside of a certain time, and if you are unlucky, you may be beheaded directly.
Don't think that with the military this high hat, you can avoid death, under the joint action of the family and the ten permanent servants, the military can't offend them for a poor family. When the time comes, Zhu Jun will naturally be able to be sent out as a victim sadly.
"Hmm. The specific list of military merits will be submitted later. Emperor Han also listened briefly, and then returned.
"Your Majesty, now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban have not been exterminated, the most powerful here are the Qingzhou Guanhai Army, the Lujiang Buji Army, and the Fang Yun Army who is missing. If you leave it alone, I'm afraid that it will continue to cause chaos, even if it doesn't set off large-scale turmoil, it will be a disaster for the local ......" Zhu Jun still couldn't help but say his thoughts.
"Well, I know!" Before Emperor Han could finish speaking, he signaled that he didn't have to continue.
The implication is that there is no need to pay attention to the so-called Yellow Turban remnants. In the final analysis, a large amount of armaments, grain and grass will be required to fight another war, and the previous war has already spent almost half of his private money, but he has to compromise due to the situation, and now that the great crisis has been lifted, he naturally hopes that the national treasury will pay for the military funds, and if he can't, his private money will naturally not pay a single penny.
It's just that now the state treasury has no money, and there is chaos everywhere, and this year's taxes cannot be collected at all. Being able to maintain the basic salary of various positions in Luoyang is already remarkable, how can it support one or even many large-scale wars?
Therefore, since the local government has withheld the tax, it is better to hand it over to the local government. These days, the local government has also recruited a lot of villagers to protect themselves, and since they have been recruited, they should be used for it, lest the local government use the excuse of raising soldiers and not paying taxes!
In the kilometers of the Manchu Dynasty, only a few people know that these so-called Xiangyong are less than one or two reliable.
It's just that since Emperor Han has already spoken, Zhu Jun naturally can't ignore the current affairs, so he can only sit back obediently. After about half an hour of deliberations, Liu Hong also dispersed and returned to his fruit tour hall to enjoy.
Zhu Jun submitted a specific list of military merits the next day, but in fact this is not the final result. All those with names on the battle merit list must spend a sum of money to bribe the ten permanent servants in order to be able to get a good position. Otherwise, for example, if you can be promoted to the history of thorns, the history of Jizhou is also a history of thorns, and the history of Jiaozhou is also a history of thorns, but can it be the same?
Especially those who have low military achievements and low status, they will be forgotten directly, and their military exploits will be placed on the subordinates of a certain ten-standing lineage, and the accumulation will be a great achievement.
Cao Cao was bedridden and relied on his willpower to fight against drug addiction, but he also had to spend some money to get an official position as the prime minister of Jinan, but he was afraid that it would take some time to take office.
The most miserable thing is Liu Bei, not to mention the death of the third brother, there is no way and no money, and he doesn't know how to take the route of the ten permanent servants, and in the end, even the exploits of exterminating Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao in Youzhou were almost greedy, and finally mixed with the county lieutenant of Anxi County. The location of the post is the same, but the position has changed from a county order to a county lieutenant, which shows its tragedy.
In any case, at this point, for Hanting, the so-called Yellow Turban Uprising has come to a successful end. As for whether it's perfect or not, it doesn't matter anymore...... (To be continued.) )
PS: There are only two chapters tonight, as the end of the second volume! Tomorrow we will begin to enter the third volume...... Actually, if it's unpleasant, the protagonist is a yellow turban thief.,From the third volume onwards...... But I guess it's impossible......
Of course, it's not just the second watch, and at the end, some intelligence information up to the present will be attached, just take a look, don't be more serious. Actually, I can't guarantee that there won't be bugs that could mess up the data......
