Chapter 475: Morality
In the third year of Chengtian, in March, Wuwei County, Hugh Tu.
In the middle of the drying field, a military official with a full face and a powerful face stood on the head of the grass pile, and raised his arms and shouted to the nearly 100 tuntian households below:
"The one surnamed Xin came to us and didn't say anything for us, and he was in cahoots with those big surnames. Those big surnames want our fields, and those surnames Xin want our lives, driving us like cattle and horses on weekdays. But even cows and horses have to be given a bite of food, but what about him? We don't allocate any money and food, saying that we have our own mouth and land, and we can live by ourselves. Yes, in the past we had a mouthful, but now? Can we still live? ”
The person who said this was called Zhang Heng, and he was a messenger from the Hutu Reclamation Center.
Each county has a Tuntian Governor, who is administratively under the leadership of the local prefecture, and Kyoto's Daisino is under the leadership of Kyoto's Daishinon.
Therefore, there is the position of a clerk, who specializes in delivering official documents from Wuwei to Luoyang.
During this period, the journey was 3,000 miles, not to mention the hardships and fatigue, and he was always attacked by thieves along the road, which can be described as a first-class bad job. And such a bad job that everyone avoids, Zhang Heng did, and he did it for six years as soon as he did it.
And because he often travels, Zhang Hengren has many friends in the three thousand miles from Hexi to Kyoto. He himself is also a prestigious person in the Xiutu Tuntianbu, not to mention his broad vision, and he can also help the people who are closed in the Tunbu to carry something.
So when Zhang Heng began to agitate on it, hundreds of people surrounded him in a short time. And the number is growing.
At this time, as Zhang Heng said above, the tun households below became more and more impatient.
They shouted and scolded the person surnamed Xin, this person was the Nongdu Lieutenant of Xiu Tu, the Xin family from Longxi Didao, who was a general's 2,000 stones.
Originally, according to the provisions of the Three Mutual Law, the agricultural commanders who served as Hexi were generally from the Kanto region.
But later, the two capitals were separated, and the nongdu lieutenant of Xiutu was replaced by a disciple of the Kansai Xin clan. Originally, everyone thought that someone could make decisions for them, but who would have thought that this Xin family was even more greedy than his predecessor.
No matter how greedy the predecessor is, in the final analysis, he is also a rogue official from Kanto, who is not familiar with the place and has no contact with the local clans, so even if he wants to be greedy, he has more than enough power to do it.
But this Xin family is different, behind him is the Longxi giant family, and his family has an old relationship with the Duan family, the Yin family, and the Suo family in Wuwei County.
Even, twenty years earlier, more than one of the Xin's children served under the command of the old lady Duan Cheng. Now although the old lady is dead, his brother Duan Xuan is now working with the young monarch of the Xin family in Chang'an as a minister, and this relationship naturally does not need to say anything.
With the support of the local clans and the servants brought from his hometown in Longxi, this Xinnong Commander no longer had any scruples and acted more and more brutally.
often do those riots that harm people's families in order to occupy a little land.
But although this kind of thing caused the dissatisfaction of many tuntian households, no one took the initiative to resist.
People are selfish, or there are limits to love. No one would give their life for the happiness of others. When Captain Xin did those cruel things, the others also scolded in secret, and let them come out and fight against the surnamed Xin, which was absolutely impossible.
In fact, the one surnamed Xin is also a tribe of 200 people, and the Xiutu Reclamation Department is the largest reclamation department in Wuwei County, with 3,000 households, accounting for one-third of the county's household registration.
If so many people can unite together, can the surname Xin still be powerful? But it's a pity that if you don't kill yourself, this person can't be united.
But now, there is finally an opportunity to let this knife kill his head.
That is, the valley water actually stopped.
The valley water is the river of life on which the entire Xiutu Reclamation depends for survival and irrigation. As soon as the water in the valley stopped, it became a problem for the 3,000 households in the reclamation department to eat.
But the valley water is an inland water formed by melting the snow water of the Qilian Mountains, and it has never been cut off, so why did it stop flowing at the end of the day?
As a result, several prestigious reclamation households from the Hutu Tun Reclamation Center took their companions and friends to the south, that is, the upper reaches of the valley water, to check on the situation.
And this investigation really found a problem, it turned out that in the upper reaches of the Xiutu Tun Reclamation Department, it was Wuwei's county governance and Wuwu City. When these reclamation households arrived at Weiwu City, they found that the Haoyou in the city had set up dams, pavilions, and water slabs in the upper reaches of the valley water.
This paid off, and the angry reclamation households immediately looked for these tyrants to theorize.
But those tyrants are also confused, they tell these reclamation households, these water pavilions have been built for decades, what does it have to do with me that the water is cut off downstream?
It's not your own fault? Are you unvirtuous?
Naturally, the angry reclamation households couldn't listen to this explanation, and they wanted to make trouble again. In the end, the Hao You didn't bother to explain, and directly let the Hao slave beat them violently.
In the end, the villagers who were covered in bruises were sent back to the reclamation department by their fellow villagers in the city.
Knowing that they couldn't get the Haoyou, the reclamation households wanted to find a grain surnamed Xin, at least spend this spring first, and then find a way later.
But the surname Xin refused to release grain at all, and he only gave everyone one sentence:
"These grains are going to be sent to Wuwei, and you also deserve to eat the public's grain?"
The reclamation households were helpless, and went back with a sullen breath. The more people think about it, the more angry they become, and the more angry they are, the more they want to find someone to come out.
At this time, the Hutu Reclamation Department was like a pile of dried firewood, just waiting for a little spark to ignite a raging fire.
And this Mars is Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng used to travel back and forth in Kyoto, and at that time he was often bullied by the cunning officials in Kyoto. Because he is a man from the Tuntian place in Hexi, he is lowly.
Once, he was just eating bread outside the temple of Dasi Nong, and in the meantime he accidentally soiled the road outside the temple, and then he was whipped three times by the people inside. To this day, the whip marks are still imprinted on Zhang Heng's body and soul.
After that, the country went west, the two capitals were separated, and the people of Kansai stood up.
At that time, although Zhang Heng was saddened by the turmoil in the Han Dynasty, he was still happy in his heart about the power of the Kansai people, after all, he was a Kansai man.
So when he went to Chang'an, Xijing, as a letter official, Zhang Heng still felt a little like turning over as a serf.
But reality defeated his naivety.
Yes, the Kansai people have stood up, but what does it have to do with your reclamation households in Hexi? You are just serf-like lowly pigs and dogs, and Kanto Kansai is a dispute between the scholars, what does it have to do with you.
So, Zhang Heng finally recognized this world.
If this is still aggrieved outside, then with the surname Xin, Zhang Heng will be even more depressed.
I don't know why, as soon as the surname Xin came, he targeted Zhang Heng, and all the hardships, tiredness, and disasters made Zhang Heng back. Later, Zhang Heng and one of Xin's subordinates drank and dug up the reason.
It turned out that because the surname Xin hated the surname Zhang, he said that the thief who caused trouble in the world was surnamed Zhang.
Kill this family, and everyone in the world will be safe.
Zhang Heng only felt that all this was so funny, I didn't even know who the thief you said was in the chaos of the world, who would have thought that he had suffered because of this?
But because of this, Zhang Heng took the initiative to inquire about this person, and finally knew that this person's name was Zhang Chong. A great hero who was born in Jinan Licheng, gathered in Mount Tai, and finally caused trouble in the world.
Because of this, Zhang Heng learned about what Zhang Chong had done and what their Taishan army had claimed.
Those four words "for the heavens" directly made Zhang Heng's soul tremble.
Yes, this world has been unfair for a long time. Since this Han family cannot do justice for us, and the Kanto people cannot benefit us, then use the plough and sickle in our own hands to find justice for ourselves.
Just like that Zhang Chong, he used the rake in his hand to plow the silverfish that harmed the people.
So, Zhang Heng began to unite his friends and companions as relatives, secretly formed a society, and said:
"Today's injustice has been a long time, and we are busy all day long, but the national silverfish drink and sing every day. I intend to follow the Taishan thief, walk for the heavens, and seek justice for my Hexi households. ”
As a result, the secret society with Zhang Heng as the core took root in the Xiutu Reclamation Department and gradually expanded its manpower.
Everyone persuaded Zhang Heng to kill Xin Tuqi, but Zhang Heng always said that there was not enough time.
Until this time, the valley water was cut off, and the surname Xin did not release grain. Zhang Heng knew that the time had come.
At the instigation of Zhang Heng and other social workers, more and more households gathered in the drying field.
They were excited, shouting:
"Since the surname Xin won't let us go, then let's grab it. There are so many of us working together, what can he do with us? ”
Until this time, most of the reclaimed households still had the idea of not holding the law accountable to the public, and did not really want to rebel.
Hearing everyone's words, Zhang Heng knew that he had to come to something powerful.
He winked at one of the people in the crowd below, and then began to scream bitterly.
Zhang Heng himself is a Hugh Tu person, of course he knows what everyone hates. So every word he said went to the hearts of the people, and their anger reached a new climax.
At this time, seven or eight Hao slave Xin tribes came over angrily.
They carried big sticks in their hands, and they smashed at the gathered crowd. The reclamation households hugged their heads and ran around, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
The leading subordinate looked at Zhang Heng, who was standing on a high place, and scolded:
"Okay, you're a Zhang Heng, it turns out that you are a demon. For the sake of having eaten wine with you, you are bound by yourself, and I will intercede with Lang Jun for you. ”
The leader also knew that this would stabilize Zhang Heng.
But how did he know that he could come here because Zhang Heng wanted to borrow him.
As soon as the man's words fell, the horizontal jumped down from the grass pile like a pengzi.
This jump directly pressed the subordinate under his knees, and the man was so frightened that he was stabbed to death by Zhang Heng with a knife before he could resist.
When Zhang Heng killed the tribal officials, the companions and relatives in the crowd also appeared, holding a short dagger and grabbing it into the heart of the frightened Xin tribe.
Looking at the Xin clan who had fallen to the ground, the Tuntian officials were stunned for a moment, but soon raised their arms and shouted under the stabbing of blood and the encouragement of others.
At this time, Zhang Heng had already cut off the head of the tribune, and he ordered a familiar one for him to find a bamboo pole to lift up.
Then, Zhang Heng raised the knife in his hand and shouted to everyone:
"Knife in hand, come with me, let's kill Xin Gou!"
The companions of the crowd chanted:
"Open the warehouse and release the grain."
Then a group of reclamation households shouted enthusiastically:
"Open the warehouse and release the grain."
For a while, the entire Xiutu Reclamation Department was like fireworks emitting infinite heat, and all insects and pigs had to turn into powder in this craze.
……
The riots in the Reclamation Department soon had a ripple effect.
First, the commander of the nearby Jincheng County killed the Nongduwei in response to the uprising, and then the Fanhe Tuntian Department of Zhangye County in the west also killed its chief in response, and then Juyan and Jiuquan also erected anti-flags.
Only the Dunhuang Reclamation Department was the farthest away from the slaughter, and when the news reached there, the local Han officials and heroes had already reacted and killed all the prestige in the department.
Originally, there were three main Tuntian districts in Dunhuang, one was the big fried capital outside the Yumen Pass, which fell in the eastern part of the Yulinquan Basin; One is the Yihe and Yuze Houguan districts under the jurisdiction of Yihe Duwei, which fall at the junction of Anxi and Dunhuang counties; One is the west bank of Wuwa Water under the jurisdiction of Yangguan Duwei, which is in the south of Dunhuang County.
These areas are fertile oases with flat terrain, abundant water sources, and suitable for cultivation, and extremely high grain production. However, the reclamation households, like the residents of the Reclamation Department, are hungry.
The grain produced either fell into the hands of the powerful in the county, or was transported to Hecang City next to the ancient road of the Shule River.
This city is the military granary of Dunhuang County's grain reserves, which is mainly used to supply the life and battle needs of the Fengsui guards along the Yumen Pass, Yangguan and the Great Wall.
But Dunhuang's defense has long been rotten, how can this grain really be delivered to the hands of the front-line beacon soldiers? The guards of the Jade Gate Pass ended up greedy for ink.
But Rao is leading figure was killed, and the remaining households in the three districts of Dunhuang still raised their banners to rebel. It can be seen how much resentment these people have reached in their hearts.
They rallied and slaughtered the city of Kawakura in order to get more food.
But in the end, these people were still defeated by the joint strangulation of the Dunhuang Haoyou, and they were defeated in Hecang City. In the end, except for some who fled eastward to Zhangye, the rest were hanged along the Silk Road.
It is said that the hemp rope used to hang people was not enough, and in the end it had to be buried.
Although the tun rebellion in Dunhuang was suppressed, the tun people in the other three counties were greatly developed.
In particular, the Shouyi Hutu crowd slaughtered all the way to the southeast under the leadership of Zhang Heng.
The first important city they captured was Wuwei County, which governed Wuwei County.
The timing of Zhang Heng's incident was particularly well chosen. In fact, it has been two years since the Liangzhou Rebellion.
From three years ago, the Qiang chieftains such as Gong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the north took Huangzhong Yicong to start an incident, and successively killed the Qiang Captain Ling Zheng, broke through Jincheng, and greatly increased his power.
Especially after receiving the help of Han Wen officials Bian Zhang and Han Sui, they began to invade Longxi and Hanyang.
Historically, these Qiang people would soon reach the Sanfu area. But now, because Liu Hong moved west to Chang'an, Kansai Jiangmen is in full power.
They no longer need to rely on the hands of the Qiang people to gain political status, as they did in history. Therefore, under the joint efforts of the generals of Guanxi, the Qiang people with backward weapons could only stop at Longxi.
In order to restrain the Qiang people's mutiny, Wuwei's heroes used almost most of their troops in the Jincheng area in the southwest.
So when Zhang Heng took the lead and defeated the Duan clan soldiers who were hundreds of people outside the city, Wuwei still fell in the end.
After entering the city, Hugh slaughtered the people for three days, and after killing all the powerful party members, he burned down the water pavilion on the valley water.
After that, Zhang Heng took the Hugh Tu people straight to Jincheng, and joined forces with the local Tunken people in the field of Lingju.
At this time, its crowd had reached 30,000, and it was even under Han Sui's traffic that it allied with the Qiang people.
Things have developed so far, and the entire Liangzhou has been in chaos, with beacon smoke everywhere and burning and looting everywhere.
Yu Yu, who went straight to Chang'an, Xijing, flew all the way along the gallop of Anding Road, and it only took eight days to report the military report of the Hexi Chaos to the case of Yanyan Zhugong in Chang'an.
And at this time, Chang'an was praying for their emperor Liu Hong.
Hopefully, this Lord of the West will live a few more days.
In fact, I understand what everyone said, let me write more Zhang Chong. It's not that I don't listen to persuasion, but I wrote this book with a dream in my heart, that is, to write about the real world. Everyone endure it and support Xiao Chen's willfulness, and soon these branches will be all explained, and when you come back to write Zhang Chong, you will find out how the world is so vivid.
