For the people in the entire Luoyang whirlpool, Liu Hong's claims are a fatal thing.

But in the midst of this fatal crisis, the guys who are obsessed with party struggle still keenly smell the opportunity.

The Taiping Dao trial, which was mainly responsible for Dongyuan and participated by the heads of the three law divisions, gradually entered a white-hot stage, and Guo Hong, Han Fu and Zhao Qiu were considered to be bayonets, and their moves were all to the point.

Zheng Xuan, the leader of the ancient Wenjing school, Shizhong, and a doctor, was suspected of colluding with the Taiping Dao by Yang Ci, because one of his personal disciples had dealings with the Taiping Dao thieves.

So Zheng Xuan was "invited" by Dongyuan to assist in the investigation.

Yang Biao, the son of Yang Ci, the leader of the Wenjing School, had a relationship with a Taiping Taoist, and after this past was dug up, Yang Biao was also invited by Dongyuan to assist in the investigation.

The most senior leaders of both sides were brought to the East Park for questioning and trial, which shows how fierce the battle was.

That is, the war part and the court part belong to two different command systems, otherwise the increasingly fierce political whirlpool of Luoyang can really involve the entire Eastern Han Empire.

He Jin stayed away from this political whirlpool.

Although there are some guys who yearn to be able to dominate the whirlpool, He Jin knows better that the most important thing he should do at the moment is not to participate in the struggle.

He has just become a general, and it is the time when he needs military prestige to establish his position, if he does not have military prestige, how can he be embarrassed to be the highest military position in the world with a shy face?

The position of general is too heavy, the status is too high, and it is very eye-catching, even if he is a relative, if he does not have certain merits, it is difficult to convince the public.

If he can't convince the public, he will not be able to sit firmly in this position, he will be ridiculed, and he will become a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat, and even if his sister is the queen, he will not be able to escape.

As a man, He Jin can't accept this kind of shame.

Therefore, Liu Hong and Zhang Rang really chose the right person for this position, at least subjectively he really wanted to quell the Taiping Dao Rebellion as soon as possible, and was willing to do his best for it.

When the army was still being prepared, He Jin was the most anxious.

He was busy jumping up and down to raise ordnance, food and grass for the army, hoping that the army could be prepared as soon as possible and then dispatched smoothly.

Basically, if there is any problem in the army during this time, He Jin can quickly solve it for you, and the speed of dealing with the problem is incredible, it is not like a normal Eastern Han bureaucrat.

For example, Lu Zhi found that there was still a shortage of grain and straw expected by the army, and he was afraid that it would affect the normal dispatch of troops, so he asked Liu Bei to find He Jin to solve it.

He Jin was in the General's Mansion, and when he heard that Liu Bei was coming on behalf of Lu Zhi, he immediately met Liu Bei in person, and after hearing about the problem, he immediately found the official in charge of logistics without saying a word, and asked him to directly connect with Liu Bei and solve the problem as quickly as possible.

The whole process of dealing with the problem was less than a stick of incense, and then He Jin began to deal with the next thing.

This efficiency ......

Seriously, if the bureaucrats of the empire had improved the speed and efficiency with which they were dealing with problems, where would there have been a Taiping uprising?

However, even He Jin was just a flash in the pan, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, He Jin would not continue to maintain this kind of work intensity.

So, it's all just a flash in the pan.

The two systems in Luoyang City are speeding in completely different directions, and on the other side, the Taiping Road in Jizhou and the Central Plains region is not having a good time.

History's excellent matchmaking mechanism is always worth studying, how can a bronze player meet a diamond player casually?

Because of the excellent operation of Gao Zheng, Yan Sheng, and Wang Meng, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, the time when the major commanders of Taiping Dao, who can be used as the main force in the Central Plains, knew the specific situation was completely inconsistent.

Some of Qu Shuai were lucky, and the people sent by Jizhou to deliver the news were more clever and arrived at the destination in a hurry, so they knew it relatively early, and they knew it at the end of February.

And some Qu Shuai was too unlucky, and the people sent by Jizhou to deliver the news were too unreliable.

Or broke his leg halfway, or was slaughtered by a mountain bandit and strongman halfway, or simply ran to the wrong place and got lost, or felt that there was no future for following the Yellow Turban Army halfway, so he deserted and ran away.

Therefore, these unlucky Qu Shuai started to act until the government, and they were still at a loss to know what was happening in Jizhou, and they were still stupidly waiting for everyone to act together on the fifth day of the first month of March, and the world would be lucky.

The speed of action of the Luoyang Imperial Court is still relatively fast.

Before He Jin officially became a general, at the end of February, the state assassins and the county guards got the news, and they were all frightened by the top-secret official documents sent by the Luoyang Imperial Court.

What?

Taiping Dao, which is spread all over the place and preaches truth, goodness, beauty and Huang Laozhi's learning, is actually a group of careerists who plot and rebel? Are they planning a rebellion?

Is this worth it?

Although these magistrates don't pay much attention to the Taiping Road, they basically know the scale of the local Taiping Road, and the smaller ones of the Taiping Road are fine, and the larger places have even the officials who have joined the Taiping Road in the Assassin's Mansion and the County Guard's Mansion.

As a result, the assassins and the county guards were very uneasy.

Some of them immediately began to prepare for the mobilization of the armed forces that they could.

It is worth mentioning that although the Eastern Han Dynasty abolished a complete set of recruitment, training, and combat systems for county soldiers from the beginning of Liu Xiu, making it impossible for local counties to have a fully trained army that can conduct field battles in the system, how can there be a lack of force in the maintenance of political power?

During the Western Han Dynasty, the county soldiers were composed of knights, material officers and other regular soldiers who were mainly responsible for military functions and pawns who were mainly responsible for a series of logistics and miscellaneous affairs.

Perhaps he felt that the latter could not pose a threat to his central government.

However, no matter how the latter has no combat effectiveness and institutional guarantees, after all, it can also legally use force, so the latter also filled the lack of the former in the political ecology of the county of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and assumed the actual responsibility of the existence of the "county soldiers", which can be called the characteristic county soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Of course, because of the lack of institutional recruitment and training, as well as the lack of institutional guarantees, it is debatable how much combat effectiveness these "pawns" who handle chores have.

In terms of numbers, these county soldiers with Eastern Han characteristics are generally between 1,000 and 3,000.

Because the border counties in remote areas such as Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are facing the deterrence of foreign armed forces, the county soldiers are generally more numerous, frequently trained, and have stronger combat effectiveness, and there will be professional battalions, which are actually not much worse than the county soldiers in the Western Han Dynasty.

The mainland counties are completely different.

The county soldiers in the inland counties are basically maintained at around the quota of 1,000, and they are really mainly responsible for miscellaneous logistics and disposal, and their status is lowly, equivalent to the slaves of the governors and officials of the prefecture and county, and they are called to do some rough work.

Except for a few special existences that deal with bandits and robbers and protect the commander from running away at critical times, most of the county soldiers have basically not received any serious combat training, and their combat effectiveness and will to fight are infinitely close to zero.

Coincidentally, the places where the Yellow Turban Rebellion led by Taiping Dao broke out were basically in the inland counties.

Of course, the Yellow Turban Army established by Taiping Dao did not have the strength of the professional level to attack the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the local county and state offices of the Eastern Han Dynasty could not come up with a professional army to deal with the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

In fact, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, before the professional army from the Luoyang Imperial Court ended, the Yellow Turban Army and the local county soldiers were basically in a state of rookie pecking at each other, and the actual strength gap between the two sides was not large.

The difference is that the Yellow Turban Army has a deep hatred for the Han Empire and a belief in the great sages and good teachers, and has the slogan bonus that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand, so the will to fight is stronger, and relatively speaking, they are not afraid of death.

And the Eastern Han County State Officials and Army......

To put it mildly, these county soldiers with Eastern Han Dynasty characteristics have a fight for their status and dogs, their treatment and pigs, their work and donkeys, and they only get a few dollars a month?

What are you fighting for?

Runaway!

So the army of the county officials was defeated.

Then there is a situation of [between the ten months, the world is shaken].
