Hua received a report on a series of changes in Zhou Guo, and sighed in his heart, it seems that people. The Horse Scout Division and the Detective Cavalry Department were densely packed with spies in the Zhou Kingdom, so most of the detailed process of the alternation of the old and the new in the Zhou Kingdom was placed on Zeng Hua's desk, except for some very secret situations.

"Why did the general say that?" Mao Muzhi couldn't help asking, he has been sitting in Qinzhou, and there are few opportunities to deal with the Zhou State in the east, so he doesn't know much about the history of the Fu family's father and son.

"The father of Fu Jian, the lord of Zhou, was Fu Hong, who was originally the general of Shi Zhao's Longxiang and the governor of Liuren, and later descended to our dynasty, and was named the king, the envoy, the general of the expedition to the north, the governor of Hebei Zhujun, the history of Jizhou, and the prince of Guangchuan County; Who knew that this guy was greedy for Guan Long and tried to take it for himself, so he called himself the governor of the capital, the general, the big single Yu, and the king of Sanqin. At the same time, Fu Hong Yiwen has 'grass pay for the king', and his grandson Jian has the word 'grass pay' on his back, so he changed his surname from Pu to Fu Shi. "Wang Meng has been in charge of the affairs of the Kanto region, so he has a clear understanding of the details of the Fu family.

"And according to our detailed work in the Zhou Kingdom, Fu Jian is because of the text 'three sheep and five eyes', so he set up Fu Sheng with only one eye." Wang Meng continued with deep contempt. In his opinion, the establishment of the prince is a very important thing, which is related to the continuation of the country's fortunes, but Fu Jian set up a non-long and non-virtuous Fu Sheng for an inexplicable sentence, which really made the ghost dizzy. Now everyone in the world knows what kind of person Shengsheng is, and he is proving in a peculiar way that he has lived up to Fu Jian's trust.

"It seems that there is something wrong with the father and son of the Fu family. One changed his surname for the sake of the sentence, and the other entrusted the non-person for the sake of the sentence. They are too ambitious. It's so big that they have lost their minds, so no matter what weird things are, as long as they can feel a little hope, they are convinced, and maybe this also shows the contradiction in the heart of the head of the family. Zeng Hua concluded.

"What the general said is very true." Che Yin continued, "This Fu family is greedy for the world's artifacts, and because he was born in Xirong, he doesn't have much confidence, so he believes too much in things like Wen. ”

Although Wen was influential in this era. But Wang Meng and others are all heroes for a while. It is better to believe in the saints than in yourself than in those things. After the long-term edification of Zeng Hua, an "advanced atheist". In addition, this "atheist" does not hide from them "pretending to be a god", so his immunity to such a mysterious thing as Wen is much stronger, so he sneers at the glorious tradition of the Fu family.

"It's better to believe in yourself than to believe in heaven!" Park said coldly and suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, but they quickly understood the deep meaning of this famous cold-faced man in Beifu. When his family was ruined, it is estimated that he prayed to God, but God ignored it, so he didn't believe in heaven, the earth, or people, until he met Zeng Hua.

Zeng Hua told everyone with facts. It is better to believe in God than in yourself, only by working hard can you have the opportunity to win the world and get rid of the shackles of fate, and this year's drought and locust resistance has also taught everyone a deep lesson.

Seeing everyone thinking there, Zeng Hua couldn't help but feel a little complacent, it seemed that he had transformed them quite well. The effect of a few years of subtle transfer is still good, much stronger than blunt preaching. It seems that the old man's one-brained MZD thinking instilled in himself has come in handy. Back then, I still complained that the old man's thinking and education were too pedantic, and those things were outdated. Now it seems. The words and thoughts of the great man still have a certain effect at a certain time. People are also familiar with the lessons learned from reading history books.

The biggest impression that MZD thought gave Zeng Hua was to fight with heaven and earth, fight with fate, fight with others, and fight with himself. My biggest advantage is to know a little bit about historical trends. knew Qin's family history and Murong Yan's entry into the Central Plains, so he seized the opportunity, occupied the position of the Fu family, and pinched the Murong family's land. However, since then, history has been completely different, and it is completely necessary to create it by yourself, but fortunately, I have accumulated enough capital, and I hope that the history will be written better in the future.

However, Zeng Hua and others didn't have much time and mind to talk about the gains and losses of Zhou Guofu's family, and they themselves now need to face a big crisis.

Although the great drought and locust plague have passed, the sequelae left behind are very far-reaching, and it directly led to a rebellion that spread to Qin and Yongzhou.

The rebellions in the jurisdiction of Beifu have been continuous, starting from Zeng Hua's entry into Guanlong. It is generally concentrated in Yongzhou and Qinzhou, even Lianyi and Bingzhou, except for Liangzhou, where Zeng Hua is deeply rooted, because the main body of residents there are depressed displaced people who follow Zeng Hua and people who have migrated from all over the country.

However, these are not taken to heart by Zeng Hua and others, it is normal to have a rebellion, if there is no problem. However, as the system and policies of Beifu became more and more perfect and deepened, there were fewer and fewer rebellions.

Beifu relocated powerful families and tribal leaders, and reorganized household registration to weaken local and tribal power; the implementation of the uniform field system to win the hearts of the people; The Baojia system, together with the militia, government soldiers, and military systems, as well as the relative independence of the judiciary and administration, made the Beifu more and more powerful in controlling all parts of the district.

However, the influence of the clan tribe will not be eliminated so easily, and the Beifu is still merciful to those "obedient" powerful families and leaders, except for moving them to Chang'an and other large cities that are easy to control, they do not "exterminate everything", so they still retain a certain amount of influence in the local area.

And most of the upper and lower parts of the Kwantung Zhou Kingdom came out of Guanlong, and Guan

Those powerful families and tribal leaders are inextricably linked, and under the other dial, some unwilling powerful families and leaders are ready to move, one after another, year after year, to launch a "Jedi counterattack" against Beifu and Zeng Hua.

After several years of suppression, most of the Sycatons were purged, but the lurking ones were more fierce and cunning, they knew that the Beifu regime and Zeng Hua's "rule" was becoming more and more stable, and their chances were getting smaller and smaller, and if they didn't seize the opportunity, they might never be able to turn over, so they seized the opportunity of this catastrophe.

Of course, in this catastrophe, it is indispensable to take advantage of the fire to rob corrupt officials and corrupt officials, after all, Zeng Hua can only ensure that the middle and high-level officials and subjects of Beifu can be honest and efficient. However, there is no guarantee that all grassroots officials in Beifu will be honest and honest.

Zeng Hua was due to the lack of talents when he established the Beifu structure, and most of the township-level officials were elected by the local people, so many township-level officials fell into the hands of people who had something to do with the Haoqiang family and tribal leaders.

They worked together with the county magistrates and even county guards who were bribed and deceived to embezzle disaster relief funds and oppress the affected people. In addition, the retinue of the powerful leader and the retinue secretly fanned the flames everywhere. It quickly aroused public indignation.

Moreover, these people also contacted another force that Beifu and Zeng Hua had been ignoring—religious forces.

This religious force refers to the power of Buddhism. Guanlong and other places were originally areas where Buddhism and Taoism were prevalent. When the Holy Sect was born, most of the Taoist forces were taken over and reorganized, after all, Fan Ben and Fan Zhe father and son were originally figures at the level of the "sect leader" of the Heavenly Master Dao. But the Buddhist forces are not so easy to deal with.

After Zeng Hua used "administrative means" to suppress Buddhism, the main body of Buddhism began to retreat step by step, and finally retreated to the temple designated by the Beifu, and reluctantly carried out theoretical research on the "philosophical aspect", after all, the first peak of Buddhism in China was still very early. Their power is not as strong as that of later generations.

However, this does not mean that Buddhism does not have fanatics, and a small number of fanatical Buddhists are even more angry after the majority of Buddhists have changed their faith, and they are even more hostile to the Holy Religion and its backer, Beifu. They retreated from the Sanfu region of Yongzhou to remote places such as Anding County and Qinzhou, and soon colluded with the rebels and became "anti-government elements".

The Horse Exploration Division and the Reconnaissance Department also detected the relevant news and found out a group of people, but this time the "anti-government elements" were ruthless and invested their blood. By the drought just passed. When the people's hearts were disturbed in some places, they immediately launched a rebellion, and Beifu was caught off guard.

In July, the leader Liang Yu and the local Haoqiang Pingshi made a new uprising in Tianshui County, Qinzhou. gathered more than 5,000 people, calling themselves "General Zhengxi" and "General Zhenxi"; Lei Zhen, the leader of the people, and Liu Yuan, the leader of the Huns, colluded with the leader of Xianbei in Longxi to make an incident in Pingxiang, Luoyang County, Qinzhou, gathering more than 10,000 people, calling themselves "King of Qin", "Great General", and "Great Shan Yu".

In August, the leader of the people, Qiang Zhong, the leader of the Qiang people, Wei Zhong, and the leader of the Xianbei of Hexi, Shunyun, rose up in Jingyang, Anding County, Yongzhou, gathering more than 7,000 people, calling themselves "Dadu Governor", "Da Sima", and "Dadu Protector"; The Haoqiang family Guan Shen colluded and the leader of the Qiang people in Qingshui, Luoyang County, Qinzhou, gathered more than 6,000 people, and called himself "Zhou Yongzhou Thorn History"; The monks gathered more than 1,000 Buddhists and coerced more than 5,000 people to start an incident in Tianshui County, Qinzhou.

For a while, the beacons of Qin and Yongzhou were in flames, and the Three Arrows Army reported that they continued to run to Chang'an.

Zeng Hua and others were disturbed by this sudden rebellion, although these rebellions could not shake the foundation of Beifu, but Zeng Hua and others considered whether these rebellions would make Guan Long, who had just experienced a catastrophe, worse off, and Zeng Hua also knew that he needed to review why there was such a big rebellion in Guanlong.

Chang'andi's orders continued to be transmitted one after another, and the government soldiers and van troops gathered one after another and marched towards the rebel areas. This counterinsurgency was very cautious, first surrounding the rebels with superior forces, cutting them off from other places, and then starting to strike mercilessly at the rebels step by step.

The rebels' fragmentation is their biggest flaw, and this time is no exception. Although they have been planning for a long time this time, and they responded at the same time, blossoming in all directions, but once they got into trouble, they didn't accept anyone, and their goals were different, some responded to the Zhou State in the Kanto region, some were the kings of the mountain, and some were for faith, so they soon fell into the previous situation again, and each fought their own.

Dealing with the rebellion Beifu and Zeng Hua has always been not soft, and the military system of Beifu makes it not so difficult to quell the rebellion, the elite government soldiers and the Xiang army are not at the same level as the people's army who started the incident, and the public opinion propaganda of Beifu is probably "the first in the world" in this era, which quickly made the people in the rebel area recover.

But the counterinsurgency was also cruel, tens of thousands of rebels died on the battlefield and were liquidated and executed in the counterinsurgency, thousands of powerful families and leaders were implicated, one was executed, and most of them were sent to Shuozhou and other border areas.

By October, the rebellion was largely moribund. Zeng Hua and others also knew that this rebellion could be regarded as the last and most frantic struggle of the "hostile forces" in Beifu. But Zeng Hua must learn from the lessons and carry out the aftermath work. This rebellion set back the two counties of Ditianshui and Luoyang in Qinzhou and Anding County in Yongzhou for several years, and made the situation worse for Beifu in the tenth year of Yonghe, so that Zeng Hua had to stop some of the "infrastructure construction" and squeeze out funds to purchase grain from Liang, Yi, Liangzhou and other places to ensure Guanlong

Stability.

Zeng Hua took advantage of this rebellion to ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Investigation and Inspection Department to conduct a major inspection of officials in various parts of Beifu together with the secret agents of the three divisions. In the past few years, various universities in Beifu have successively trained many talents, and after graduation, they were assigned to local government offices to become officials, and then they were promoted to officials through assessments, so Zeng Hua is not too worried about the lack of official talents now.

After learning about the entire process of the rebellion, Zeng Hua and others knew that they had neglected to forget the grassroots organizations for a while, so they gave the rebels a chance to take advantage of them. After discussing with everyone, Zeng Hua ordered the improvement of the Beifu system.

The first is to strengthen the armor protection system. Carry out a three-long system for the township. Ten households are the first one. Set up a first-class head. Ten A for a guarantee, set up a capital guarantee, a number of guarantees for a township, set up a township. The main function of the local armor protection is to organize mutual aid production and maintain local law and order, but they have no right to organize and mobilize the militia under the jurisdiction of the governor. He also has no right to dispose of the people of Baojiali.

This was followed by a purge of Buddhism and stricter restrictions. With the help of the rebellion organized by Buddhists, the northern province announced that it would completely deprive the monasteries of all property in its jurisdiction, and concentrate all the monks in a few monasteries to support the monks with government funds. The Buddhist monks, who have been hit harder, have now largely lost the opportunity to disseminate their teachings on a large scale, and they have to rely on work such as translating Tianzhu Buddhist scriptures and texts in exchange for government funding, and are increasingly becoming "academic institutions".

In fact, in Zeng Hua's mind, he most hopes that the grassroots institutions in various places will take the diocese as the standard, but now it seems that the time is not yet ripe. It is necessary to use means to unify the "thinking" of the people of Beifu first. Zeng Hua felt that he was still more methodical at this point. After all, I have never eaten pork before, I have seen a pig run, I have never seen a pig run, and I have heard of a pig run. In Zeng Hua's mind, democracy and science must be left to the Chinese nation. But now it seems that autocracy is needed before these tasks can be accomplished. Zeng Hua understood more and more that if he wanted to sow these seeds, he had to level the ground first.

In addition to the fact that Buddhists participated in this rebellion, the fact that man was the subject was also a headache for everyone. Compared with the Qiang people, the people are more thoroughly agricultural, but they still maintain the traditions and customs of the tribal clans. After the Beifu forcibly disorganized them, the remnants of the tribal clans were actually more tenacious than the Qiang people, and while most of the Qiang people had joined the Holy Sect and the Beifu, a considerable number of people unexpectedly maintained a strong repulsion. Perhaps, in their opinion, there is still hope for the Fu family.

What to do with these people? Wang Meng and others felt a great headache, because Zeng Hua had always set up a posture for Beifu to treat the Han, Qiang, Xiongnu, and Xianbei ethnic groups equally, after all, at this time, the "Han people" were at a disadvantage, and if they did not unite all the ethnic groups that could be united, they didn't know when they would be able to turn over. Before the foundation of Beifu is completely solidified, if you take action against people who occupy a large proportion of the population, will it cause a chain reaction?

Zeng Hua is also very contradictory, as a modern person, although he has nationalism, but he does not have a very radical "Han nationalism". In Zeng Hua's view, the Chinese nation should be a federation, and modern thought told Zeng Hua that if a nation wants to remain advanced and strong, it must constantly embrace all rivers and rivers, spit out the old and embrace the new.

Zeng Hua has always reminded himself that the great integration of nationalities must be done, but it cannot be integrated with the lives and blood of the people of the Central Plains as in history. Zeng Hua's path of ethnic integration was to first conquer with a saber and then assimilate with culture. In order to achieve this goal, Zeng Hua ordered that "Han dialect" be used as the official language, Chinese characters as the official language, and Han surnames as the official surname, and then the power of the church was used to fix the Chinese culture into a faith, so that all people could know their roots.

Zeng Hua ordered the "common enemy" to be exterminated - Hu, because someone had to bear the consequences, and Hu, who had a different complexion and did many evils, just accepted this task. After that, Zeng Hua began to prepare to stew the rest of the ethnic groups in a pot, in his opinion, instead of killing and killing again, it is better to take advantage of this historical opportunity to give it a different national integration.

In Zeng Hua's impression, once the northern dynasties in history entered the Central Plains, they were busy digging deep into their ancestors and declaring themselves to be descendants of the Yellow Emperor, which is a very interesting question. His own Holy Sect has already carried this banner, and with strong strength as a backing, if anyone doesn't want to merge in, they will disappear. Thinking of this, Zeng Hua felt that he was a gardener, carrying a kettle and scissors on the other, hoping that Huaxia would become better in his hands.

"First of all, we can't kill people, we lack population, people are good at farming, we can't lose this part of the population in vain. But we must also stand up for power, and if we dare to rebel, we must bear the consequences. Zeng Hua thought for a while and said, "All the people who participated in the rebellion, whether they were people, Qiang people or others, were all drawn to destroy one of the five households, and all the rest were moved to other counties to be reorganized according to the status of the people." ”

Wang Meng and the others nodded, feeling that this treatment was quite severe, five households were wiped out and one household, so that more than 1,000 households and more than 7,000 people would be killed, and according to the status of the people is lower than that of civilians, they must rent the land of the government, pay the same amount of taxes as civilians, and then pay a "ransom", and only after five years can they have the opportunity to become civilians.

In the winter of the tenth year of Yonghe, the largest rebellion in Beifu was finally quelled.
