Chapter 106: A Different Yellow Turban Chaos [Ask for Collection]
In March 184 AD, that is, in the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of Han Ling, a turbulent event occurred that swept the crumbling Han Dynasty.
The whole country was in a great drought, the grain was not collected and the taxes were not reduced, and the desperate poor peasants rose up one after another under the order of the giant deer man Zhang Jiao, and they tied their heads with yellow scarves and shouted: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", and launched a fierce attack on the bureaucracy and landlords, which was the famous "Yellow Turban Uprising" in history.
According to later historical records, the uprising took place on March 5, 184. On March 5, Zhang Jiaohui met with the believers to raise an army against the Han Dynasty with the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".
"Cangtian" refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Huangtian" refers to the Taiping Road, and for this uprising, Zhang Jiao can be said to have taken great pains to gather some disciples to promote the uprising. Trying to occupy a righteous position and overthrow the Han family in one fell swoop, all believers tied yellow scarves on their heads as a sign to symbolize that they wanted to replace the corrupt Eastern Han Dynasty.
During this period, Zhang Jiao sent people to write the word "Jiazi" on the door of the government office as a recognition, and on the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to gather tens of thousands of people to Ye to prepare, and went to Luoyang several times to collude with the eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, wanting to cooperate with the outside world. First destroy the Han royal family, occupy Luoyang, Kyoto, and then sweep the world. It is conceivable that if this revolt succeeds, they will forge a new dynasty.
However, when the Yellow Turbans were dreaming, a month before the uprising, a disciple of Zhang Jiao named Tang Zhou told the informant and confessed to Ma Yuanyi, the inner director of the Beijing Division, Ma Yuanyi was torn apart, and the officers and soldiers vigorously arrested and killed the believers who believed in the Taiping Dao, involving more than 1,000 people, and ordered Jizhou to hunt down Zhang Jiao.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jiao was forced to attack in February one month in advance, known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because the insurgents tied the Yellow Turban on their heads, so they were called "Yellow Turbans" or "Moth Thieves", Zhang Jiao called himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were "General Digong" and "General Rengong" in the northern Jizhou area. Within a month, wars broke out in 28 counties in seven prefectures across the country, and the Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo, and the prefectures and counties were lost, and the officials fled, shaking Kyoto.
Originally, this was the Yellow Turban Uprising in history, but for some reason, Tang Zhou, the disciple who was supposed to be informed, disappeared without a trace, and history changed.
It turned out that the Yellow Turbans, who had hastily revolted, were not so helpless again, everything went according to the plan, slowly, and according to the idea of the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao, the uprising was officially launched on March 5.
Once the incident moved, the world was shocked.
The Yellow Turban army quickly swept Jizhou in the form of autumn wind sweeping leaves, and then according to the plan, the believers in Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan were divided into 36 parties, with more than 10,000 people in Dafang and 6,000 or 7,000 people in Xiaofang.
The offensive route of the Yellow Turban army seems to have inadvertently surrounded Luoyang, and the troops are pointing directly at Luoyang and Kyoto, and the future of the Han dynasty is worrying, and the disintegration is just around the corner.
At present, Zhang Jiao is in Julu, and his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang reorganize their military horses and begin to go south to Luoyang to implement the established strategy.
The army on the south road had Zhang Mancheng uprising and commanded the army to occupy Wancheng to replenish the military resources, and then the army went north, and the east road Xuchang, Bocai and Peng Tuo in the area of Runan led the army and Bu Ji of the east county to the west, this arrangement can be described as seamless.
At the beginning of April, just in January, the siege was formed.
The three brothers of Zhang Jiao arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, Chen soldiers were hundreds of thousands, Bo Cai and others in the east had also arrived in Xingyang, Zhang Man in the south had become an army to Yongning, and Luoyang seemed to have no way to escape.
At this time, the Luoyang court was already in chaos, and the ministers were arguing with each other, which was difficult to calm down.
The emperor sitting in the high hall stood up, angry with himself, and shouted: "Enough, I have raised you for so long, and the Han has raised you for so long, and now when I need you, it is so useless." ”
"Your Majesty is happy and angry."
Suddenly, the needles in the court could be heard, and all the ministers were lying on the ground with their butts pouted.
In normal times, this mediocre emperor might still laugh at these rats, but at this time, he only has anger.
I have a good time in the inner palace, embracing beautiful women, and drinking and meat baths, which is really the joy of life.
Not long ago, he got a docile girl, and the taste made him have endless aftertastes, but he hated that the woman was actually Cai Yong's daughter. That Cai Yong is not easy to mess with, so scared that Emperor Han Ling didn't dare to go to court for a long time, and he didn't see outsiders.
Later, the girl, that is, "Cai Yan", actually died mysteriously, which made Emperor Ling's heart even weaker. For fear that someone would settle accounts with him, especially Cai Yong, his fame was so great that even he, the Han Emperor, didn't want to provoke him, but now that the matter had happened, he could only hide it first.
I don't know how "Cai Yan" entered the palace, Emperor Han Ling didn't know Lu Dao for a long time, so he didn't know it. Later, someone reported that Yingqin of the previous dynasty actually had a remnant of sins, and this person was also involved with Cai Yong, and Emperor Ling was angry and put Cai Yong on death row, and he wanted to kill him.
One of them is indeed angry, this is Ying Qin who threatens his throne, how can he not pay attention. Second, someone's daughter was killed by her own play, and it is not okay not to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible, if the incident happens in the east window, it will be over for you, so you don't care whether the report is true or not, and order the arrest.
So there was what happened to Qin Feng in Luoyang, but fortunately, Qin Feng escaped, and got the news of the Black Ice Platform and the Shadow, and he knew the general situation.
Cai Yong was not immediately executed under the bail of many people, but was pressed into death row, and none of the people arrested by Emperor Han Ling were caught, which made him very angry in his heart, thinking that his face had been provoked.
It's a pity that blessings and misfortunes don't go alone.
It was when he was angry, and it was rumored that Huang Jing was uprising, and people wanted to overthrow him.
Emperor Ling, who had never been in charge of the dynasty, had disappeared for the first time in such a long time, and the disappearance of his emperor throne was actually his own emperor's throne, and someone wanted to kill him, how could this not make him angry and afraid.
Immediately became angry, and began to roar at the court.
"Say, you all say!"
Liu Hong's voice was violent, completely losing the image of an emperor, pointing at the ministers and scolding in the hall.
"Are you all dumb, ah!!"
"You say, you say what's going to do?" Liu Hong grabbed a waiter beside him and asked.
"Your Majesty... Down, slave... I don't know, I beg Your Majesty to spare my life. The eunuch was so frightened that the yellow and white things flowed down his crotch, and the stench instantly began to spread.
"Come on, pull it down and cut it down!"
With the man's order, two forbidden soldiers came in, dragged the eunuch out.
"Your Majesty's life, Your Majesty's ······"
The eunuch shouted in fear, hoping that the emperor would spare him, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect.
Not long after, the sound stopped after an "ah", and the people in the court fell even lower, and they knew that the eunuch was dead.
"Hehe, he told me to spare him, who will spare me? You say? ”
The Spirit Emperor seemed a little crazy to kill someone, and scolded.
"Say!"
"Your Majesty's anger is relieved!" The ministers lying on the ground said in unison.
"Anger? What are you angry about? Someone is going to kill me, hit the gate of the palace, want to rob me of the throne, take away my beloved concubine, and usurp the imperial industry of the Han Dynasty, you, how can you call me to calm my anger, ah! ”
"You teach me, teach me!"
The Spirit Emperor vented on the royal platform, roaring the fear in his heart.
Finally, after the scolding, Emperor Ling sat on the jade steps, panting.
The court fell silent again, and only the constant exhalation of the Spirit Emperor showed that these people were still alive.
"Father, tell me?"
