Chapter 2: The Love of Three Women

The chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty came from the monopoly of politics and the endless greed for interests of the noble clans. Langya Wang, Chenjun Xie, Yingchuan Yu, Taiyuan Wang, and Qian Guohuan have all written brilliant strokes in the history of South China.

However, Ercao's body and fame are gone, and these wealthy families are eventually like fireworks released, no matter how gorgeous you rush into the sky, they will eventually turn into ashes, leaving an empty name. On the contrary, a lower-level officer of the Beifu Soldier who was born in a broken Shu nationality came into being and ascended to the supreme position, which not only changed the history of South China, but also led the army to embark on the Northern Expedition like a tiger, which once frightened the northern Hu people, cut off the heads of two Hu emperors, and made the strong Han wind blow in the sky over North China. And the achievement of this heroic achievement is inseparable from the love of three women.

In March 363, in the home of a small official in Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was good news of production, and a big fat boy was born. It is said to be joy, but in fact there are joys and sorrows.

This petty official is called Liu Qiao, and his official position was the county Gongcao at that time, which was equivalent to the mayor's secretary, and at most he was a department-level cadre.

Don't look at Liu Qiao's current official position, but his ancestors are very generous, to what extent? Let's go back to the roots:

Liu Qiao's father is called Liu Jing, Liu Jing's father is called Liu Ming, Liu Ming's father is called Liu Xusun, Liu Xusun's father is called Liu Xi, Liu Xi's father is called Liu Ying, Liu Ying's father is called Liu Liang, Liu Liang's father is called Liu, Liu's father is called Liu Kui, Liu Kui's father is called Liu Hong, Liu Hong's father is called Liu Qia, Liu Qia's father is called Liu Jing, Liu Jing's father is called Liu Ping, Liu Ping's father is called Liu Cen, Liu Cen's father is called Liu Qingji, Liu Qingji's father is called Liu Anmin, Liu Anmin's father is called Liu De, Liu De's father is called Liu Biqiang, Liu Biqiang's father is called Liu Fu, and Liu Fu's father is called Liu Jiao.

Rory is so wordy, readers must think that Lao Wang has a magic barrier, list what other people's fathers do, hehe, stop here, let's take a look at Liu Jiao.

Liu Jiao has four brothers, he is the fourth, the eldest brother is called Uncle Liu, the second brother is called Liu Zhong, and the third brother is called Liu Ji. Bo, Zhong, Ji, equivalent to one, two, three, Liu Jiao's three elder brothers' names are actually the current Liu Da, Liu Er, Liu San, plain, basically belong to the names of the children of the Dick Silk family. But Liu Jiao's third brother, Liu Ji, also has a domineering name.

Liu. That's right, it is "Han Gaozu" Liu Bang. The Western Han Dynasty was the first political regime established by the common people in Chinese history, and Liu Bang's name should have been changed after the king came to the world, because it was unlikely that a child of an ordinary family would dare to use the word "Bang" to name it.

Now you know how wide Liu Qiaozu is, right? As the royal family of the Liu family, why did Liu Bei or Liu Qiao at the end of the Han Dynasty always slowly become commoners? Among them, there is an eternal conspiracy at work.

Push Grace Order.

"Tui En Order", proposed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is known as one of the ancient Yang plots. According to the advice of the lord's father, when the princes and kings die, only the eldest son inherits the land in the jurisdiction, but except for the eldest son who inherits the throne, all the other sons can divide the land of the kingdom and become lieges. The royal family could have given birth, and it is common for a person to have ten or eight sons, the numerator remains the same and the denominator continues to expand, just like that, pushing back and forth, after a few generations, the land divided by the descendants of the ordinary royal family is not as big as the small community downstairs of his house. If you push one or two more generations, Uncle Liu Huang will be promoted to sell straw sandals.

The master father sacrificed such an eternal conspiracy, which made great contributions to the strengthening of the centralized power of the Western Han Empire. In the end, he was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who promoted him to exterminate the Nine Clans, which is embarrassing. After all, no matter how loyal you are to the Lord and how much your motives are in line with the general righteousness, people are a family after all, and you can't save your life except for a little self-touch. Chao mistakes and the death of the master's father are all bloody lessons. Cutting the feudal domain and establishing the reserve, whoever makes suggestions is digging a grave for himself.

Previously, the Liu family had three founding emperors, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei, and they were all broken down before they started.

"Han Gaozu" Liu Bang was originally a scoundrel, and later became the pavilion chief of Surabaya in Pei County, in charge of affairs within a radius of ten miles, which is equivalent to the village head of a natural village, at most a deputy section level.

Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor, was a cloth cloth for farming cattle before his career.

Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, one of the victims of Tui'en Order, came from a humble background, and turned out to be a small handicraft who made straw shoes and sold straw mats.

The little boy born in Liu Qiao's family is called Liu Yu. From Liu Bei's death in 223 to Liu Yu's birth in 363, a full 140 years have passed, will the poor Liu family regain its glory because of the birth of little Liu Yu?

In history, on the night of Liu Yu's birth, there was a divine light to illuminate the delivery room, and nectar also fell that night. In order to promote the divine authority of the emperor, the feudal rulers often played a little trick when compiling history, and this is no exception. But the reality is that as soon as Liu Yu was born, it brought disharmony to Secretary Liu's family.

Secretary Liu's wife, Zhao Anzong, had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Liu Yu and finally died. Secretary Liu was so sad that his brain began to short-circuit, thinking that the newborn had killed his wife, and his brain was pumped again, and he was ready to throw little Liu Yu into the wild to feed the wolves.

Secretary Liu has a brother's wife, Du Shi, who is kind by nature and carries Liu Yu into the house.

The life of the Du family is not rich, and they have several children, among which the youngest son Liu Huaijing is also breastfeeding, she gave birth to her own youngest son's milk and gave her breast milk to Liu Yu.

With a good thought, heaven has been born. Accumulate character on sunny days, and borrow umbrellas on rainy days. In the future, Liu Yu will miss his old kindness, and Liu Huaijing, who is an adult, has no fart skills, but he is an official to the Huiji Taishou, Shangshu, and Doctor Jin Ziguanglu.

After Mrs. Zhao died, Secretary Liu continued the strings, and the new Mrs. was Xiao Wenshou, the daughter of Taoyang County Ling. Xiao Wenshou is also a kind-hearted woman, she persuaded her husband to take the two-year-old Liu Yu home, and she loved her as her own.

Du Shi, Xiao Wenshou, an adoptive mother, a stepmother, two women who are full of human brilliance, Liu Yu is really lucky to meet such two women who are not his biological mother but are better than his biological mother in his life.

Secretary Liu and Xiao Wenshou gave birth to two sons one after another, Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui, and not long after the youngest son Liu Daogui was born, Liu Qiao died young.

The pillars of the family fell, Xiao Wenshou did not have compassion, she led her three sons to farm during the day and weave straw shoes at night, struggling to maintain their livelihood.

As the oldest man in the family, the young Liu Yu took on the burden of life in the family early. In addition to farming, chopping wood, digging birds and fishing, like his ancestor Liu Bei, Liu Yu also learned to weave and sell straw shoes. Selling straw sandals has become an ancestral skill when the old Liu family is broken, which is quite interesting.

Liu Yu survived because of the upbringing of two kind and great women, his adoptive mother and stepmother, and soon, he met a great woman again.

One day, Liu Yu carried a basket of "Lao Liu" straw sandals and walked casually in the market to sell. A large luxury car passed by him. The market is full of people, traffic, all kinds of people, etc., and it is normal. Liu Yu didn't notice the luxury car at all, but someone in the luxury car noticed him.

This person asked the coachman to stop the car, jumped out of the car, walked straight to Liu Yu, and grabbed him by the basket: Young man, are you married? If not, how about giving you a beautiful girl?

What is it? Liu Yu was stunned, and his eyes were about to fall out. The middle-aged man in front of him, with a golden hat and ermine fur, gorgeous clothes and jade belts, looks like a nobleman at first glance. Look at that luxury car, which can be called the limited edition Cadillac of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I have been selling "Lao Liu" straw sandals for three years, and I can't buy one of its wheels, so the owner wants to introduce me to the object?

Liu Yu was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully: At present, I am a single dog and have nothing at home.

It's good if you don't have it The middle-aged man tore off Liu Yu's basket with straw shoes and threw it aside, pulled Liu Yu into the car, and ran into a luxurious mansion with a smoke.

After getting out of the car, Liu Yu followed him into the gate, through countless corridors, and into the main hall. The middle-aged man summoned a young woman to meet Liu Yu: I am Zang Jun, this is the little girl Zang Aiqin, she will be your wife in the future.

Zang Jun? Jun Gongcao, like Liu Yu's biological father, is also a director-level, why did he come to such a luxurious mansion? Corruption comes? A secretary who writes materials, corruption is not going anywhere. The reason why he is so wealthy is because of his father. His father's name is Zang Wang, and the official is Shang Shulang.

At that time, Liu Yu was a poor boy, why was he favored by the rich man Zang Jun? said that Zang Jun saw that Liu Yu was extraordinary, and he would become a big thing in the future. This is more psychedelic, Liu Yu's ancestor Liu Bang also encountered such a play, when Lu Gong put Pei County Order to beg to be a son-in-law, regardless of his wife's strong opposition, he married his flowery daughter Lu Pheasant to Liu Bang, the second bastard at the time, an older young man.

In this way, Zang Jun didn't ask for a penny of dowry, and married a daughter who was like a flower to the poor boy Liu Yu, and also posted a large dowry. However, when Zang Ai kissed the Liu family, she found that the poverty of the Liu family was beyond her imagination.

Dilapidated houses and dry toilets near the windows. The family disciples saw the four walls, and the rice grain was not enough in the tank. There's no way, take out your dowry to make ends meet. Later, the two gave birth to a daughter, named Liu Xingdi, it seems that the second child still wants a son, but unfortunately, until Zang Aiqin died, the two did not get their wish. Why? More on that later.

The birth of a daughter has made life more difficult for young couples. One day, Zang Aiqin was weaving cloth at home, and a group of big men broke in. Liu Yu has a straight temper, usually likes to fight unevenly, offended many people, Zang Aiqin knows, usually she tries to unite her neighbors and be kind to others. At this time, Zang Aiqin thought that Liu Yu had caused some trouble again, and others came to retaliate, but the result was beyond her expectations.

These people are not here to seek revenge, but to collect debts.

It turned out that the life of the Liu family was becoming more and more difficult, and they still relied on Liu Yu to sell straw sandals for hygiene. However, shoes can't be made into luxury jewelry brands such as "Gucci" and "Balenciaga", and they will never make a fortune. So, Liu Yu also wanted to rely on luck to change his fate.

Gambling.

As a result, there were more losses and fewer wins, and this time, it was one of the local heroes, the creditor Diao Kui, who came to collect gambling debts. How much gambling debts? Thirty thousand. Not yet? Take!

30,000 yuan is not a small amount. There is not much dowry left by Zang Aiqin. Ask your mother's family to borrow? When she married Liu Yu, she didn't know how much she was ridiculed by her relatives, and she didn't want to block her father anymore.

Liu Yu has been taken to Diao's house, tied to a horse stake naked in the cold weather, humiliated, and if he doesn't pay back the money, he will freeze into a popsicle. What to do? Zang Aiqin was in a hurry, and suddenly, she remembered someone.

Wang Mi, Wang Dao's grandson. Wang Mi, who knew the Zang family, also met Liu Yu. The situation was urgent, Zang Aiqin rushed to the palace, cheekily explained the intention, and then waited for the reply of others anxiously. Will this first-class wealthy nobleman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty help Liu Yu, who is like a blind ruckus?

Wang Mi, after listening to Zang Aiqin's words, turned around and went back to the inner room. When he came out, he had an extra money bag in his hand: this is 30,000 yuan, take it to save people.

Liu Yu was thus saved. Later, Diao Kui and Wang Mi both participated in the Huan Xuan rebellion, Liu Yu raised troops to fight, Diao Kui's head was cut off, and the family's property was divided; And Wang Mi, who was chased back by Liu Yu on the way to escape, was not beheaded, but continued to be a high-ranking official.

In fact, not only Diao Kui, but no one thought that a poor boy from a broken Shu family could become a big deal.

Liu Yu, who returned home, deeply realized that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise, he would be ashamed of his wife and children, even if he left his hometown, he would have to find a place to make money to support his family. After thinking about it, there is only one way out.

Go to the army. Where to go to join the army? Gangnam.

Holding the plate that his wife had saved by frugality, Liu Yu burst into tears, this was his wife's last bit of dowry. Zang Aiqin looked at her guilty husband gently, and said lightly: Go, there is me at home.

Liu Yu has been gone for many years. When he came back, Zang Aiqin was already over forty years old, and the daughter of the two was called Liu Xingdi, wasn't it just to add another boy? However, at this time, Zang Aiqin was past the age to be a mother again. In 408, the 47-year-old Zang Aiqin died of illness in Dingyuan County, Anhui Province, before the day when Liu Yu ascended the supreme throne (420).

It is gratifying that although Liu Yu has had seven sons with other women since then, these women have only been named concubines, and the title of queen is only posthumously given to the kind and great woman, "Empress Wujing" Zang Aiqin. Moreover, when the temple of the Son of Heaven was established, Liu Yu ordered the temple to be built for Zang Ai, who had passed away for 12 years, and together with the temple of his six generations of ancestors, he formed the system of seven temples of the Son of Heaven. The unique act of building a separate room for his deceased wife in the Jongmyo Temple, which has never been seen before or since, shocked the world. Even later historians such as Xiao Zixian (Nanliang) and Wang Mingsheng (Qing) sighed: "Taking a woman as a lifetime, this is really a strange thing." Such ceremonies are appalling. ”

What is scary is not scary, rare and strange. What kind of etiquette to see your god, for the sake of this woman, I will lose my mind, how can I drop. When Liu Yu was dying, he left an edict to welcome Zang Ai's coffin from Dantu to Nanjing, he could not stay with this married wife during his lifetime, and he must be buried with her after death, because she was the white moonlight of his life.

Some women in modern marriage and love, don't complain that men have no conscience at every turn, look at Liu Bangzhi to Lu Pheasant, Liu Yuzhi to Zang Aiqin, Zhu Yuanzhang to Queen Ma, ......, sometimes, we have to reflect on ourselves, don't we?

I don't dare to say more, I'm afraid that some female readers will be unhappy and block me, so that's all for Zang Aiqin, let's look back at Liu Yu's journey to join the army. Liu Yuhuai was entangled and went south to join the Beifu army.

At that time, the battle of Huishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty had ended, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty border was relatively calm, and there was no major war. In peacetime, the probability of a junior officer rising like a rocket is basically as small as Japan's initiative to return the Diaoyu Islands to China.

After boiling back and forth, Liu Yu survived to the Sima of Sun Wuzhong, a famous general in Beifu, at the age of 36.

The 36-year-old Staff Officer Liu is unknown among the star-studded Beifu soldiers (his deeds are not obvious), if he continues like this, he will basically be able to see the end of Staff Officer Liu, and after a few years, he will be transferred home at the county and regiment level at most.

The sky will descend on the great task, the situation creates heroes, and the opportunity for Staff Officer Liu to soar into the sky came without warning.

Liu Yu's career is related to the suppression of a Taoist uprising.

Taoism, unlike foreign Buddhism, is a religion native to China and was formed after a long period of historical development.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, social turmoil, Confucianism as a statecraft gradually lost its original charm, the Eastern Han Dynasty Ming Emperor officially introduced Buddhism to China through the Silk Road and has not yet been accepted by the Chinese people, in this social background, there is an urgent need for a religion that adapts to the national conditions, to provide spiritual support for the common people, to heal spiritual pain. As a result, since ancient times, the Chinese ideas of reverence for ghosts and gods, worship of immortals, and the number of yin and yang techniques have gradually merged with Huang Lao's theories such as Tao Te Ching and Zhou Yi, and Taoism came into being.

The Taoist doctrine originally came from a strange book - "Bao Yuan Taiping Sutra".

The author of this book is Gan Zhongke of the Western Han Dynasty, a monk, a native of Zibo, present-day Shandong.

Emperor Liu Biao of the Western Han Dynasty, who loved to sacrifice ghosts and gods and magic, Gan Zhongke combined Huang Laodao with Confucian doctrine to create the twelve volumes of "Bao Yuan Taiping Sutra", explaining the way of governing the country with the five elements of yin and yang, predicting the rise and fall, and fantasizing about the peace of the world.

No matter how good a person is, he can't tell the truth when he shouldn't. Later, Gan Zhongke predicted that the luck of the Han family was over and that he should be re-ordered by heaven, but was considered by the Han ruler to be a fallacy to confuse the public, and was thrown into prison and died.

However, "Bao Yuan Taiping Sutra" is still circulating in secret among the people.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a peasant named Zhang Jiao, who had read the "Baoyuan Taiping Sutra", created the Taiping Dao, and developed hundreds of thousands of Taoists across the country, shouting out the proverb "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious", which eventually led to the famous Yellow Turban Army uprising, and also achieved a group of heroes who started by suppressing the Yellow Turban Army uprising--- Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was written that there was a man named Yu Ji, who burned incense and read Taoist books in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, made talisman water, and treated the people for diseases, which was very popular. Sun Ce, the ruler of Eastern Wu and the little overlord, beheaded him on the grounds that Yu Ji was confusing. Later Sun Ce was often cursed by the gods of Ji and eventually died.

This Yu Ji, also recorded in the official history of the Three Kingdoms, also called Ganji, Gan Room, Fengqiao Town in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province has Ganxi, Ganxi Village, Ganxi Road, Ganxi Beach and other ancient place names, it is said to be related to Yu Ji.

It was this Yu Ji who, on the basis of the twelve-volume "Baoyuan Taiping Sutra", carried forward and wrote the 170-volume "Taiping Qing Lingshu", which was called the famous "Taiping Sutra" in later generations.

Influenced by the theology of the Prophet Latitude, the Taiping Sutra preaches the concept of good and evil retribution, as well as the techniques of longevity and immortality, healing and health preservation, and channeling the gods, but at the same time, it also promotes the way of Fengtian, conforms to the five elements of yin and yang, expounds the way of governing the world, and sets foot in the political field.

In the same Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling, the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty (born in Feilou Village, Songlou Town, Fengxian County, Jiangsu), got the sister chapter of the Taiping Sutra "Taiping Cave Extreme Scripture" (144 volumes), and based on this and "Lao Tzu Five Thousand Texts" as the theoretical basis, with Lao Tzu (Li Er) as the ancestor, respected as Taishang Laojun, and founded the Heavenly Master Tao in Heming Mountain, Sichuan. Zhang Ling became the famous Zhang Tianshi.

The Tao of the Heavenly Master requires those who learn the Tao to dedicate five buckets of rice, so the Tao of the Heavenly Master is also called the Five Buckets of Rice Sect. Zhang Tianshi wrote the Taoist classic "Lao Tzu Xianger Note", and successively preached in Qingcheng Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Bashu area, and the legend has become an immortal.

In Feilou Village, Songlou Town, Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province today, there is a large soil pit with no rules, and the locals call it "medicine box". Why?

After Zhang Tianshi became an immortal in the Heming Mountain in Sichuan, the things related to him became holy relics with immortal energy, and it is said that the sick people went to his old residence to grab the soil decoction water and take it, which could cure all kinds of diseases, and over time, it dug into a big pit.

This is the same situation as the turnips in the courtyard of the Nobel Prize winner Mr. Mo Yan's old house were plucked and the trees were stripped of their skin.

Zhang Ling's grandson is the famous Hanzhong tyrant of the Three Kingdoms era. Zhang Lu carried forward the Five Dou Rice Sect, and Hanzhong even almost became a theocratic country. Later, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, worshiped General Zhennan, sealed Langzhonghou, and became a son and daughter with Cao Cao.

As mentioned earlier in the first part, during the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, had a henchman named Sun Xiu, who was a disciple of the Wudou Mi Sect, and he used the power of the Wudou Mi Sect to assist Sima Lun in ascending the throne of God, and also killed the male and female --- Pan An and Luzhu of the Western Jin Dynasty.

After the Central Plains was in turmoil and Sun Xiu was killed, his descendants crossed the Yangtze River to the south and continued to spread the Wudou Rice Sect in the south. Among them, there was a man named Sun Tai, who had many followers.

In order to strengthen the imperial power, Sima Yao, the filial piety emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, gave Sun Tai a title of Taishou, and he became a department-level cadre from a commoner.

When Wang Gong rebelled, Sun Tai also formed an army to help the imperial court attack Wang Gong, and formed a deep combat friendship with Sima Yuanxian.

If Sun Tai becomes an official and gives up preaching, it may be a lifetime of glory. However, the power of faith is infinite, and while Sun Tai was an official, he continued to spread the Wudou Rice Sect, and his followers were all over Sanwu, which caused concern among everyone in a wealthy family.

Xie family.

The base camp of the Xie family, in the Huiji (Shaoxing) generation, Xie Lingyun, a famous poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once used "Mountain Dwelling Fu" to describe the spectacular scene of their Xie family's manor in Huiji. Now, the Wudou Rice Sect has grown in Huiji, causing the Xie family to worry about family property and personal safety.

Soon, a letter saying that Sun Tai was going to rebel entered Jiankang City from Huiji. Between the wealthy family and Sun Tai, Sima Yuanxian quickly made a choice - to kill Sun Tai.

Sun Tai's nephew, Sun En, fled to the Zhoushan Islands, where he was supported by many followers and was ready to avenge his uncle.

Sima Yuanxian apparently did not take Sun En, a Taoist exiled to the island, in his eyes. He only thought about how to deal with Huan Xuan, Wang Gong, Yin Zhongkan and other warlords who were divided into places and did not listen to their calls.

In that year, in order to counter the Jingzhou and Yangzhou armies, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court formed the Beifu Army. Now that the Beifu soldiers have also become local warlords, the only way to do this is to form a new army for the central government.

Money is needed to form a new army, and where does it come from?

Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Yongzhou? It's impossible, the money there is for the soldiers of Huan Xuan and others. Jianghuai region? It is also impossible, it is there to raise the original Central Army and the current local army Beifu soldiers. Well, I'm sorry, this tax can only come from the Sanwu region.

Sanwu region, namely Wu County, Wu Xing, Huiji. This pimple is wealth, but no matter how rich it is, it can't withstand the double exploitation of the central and local nobles, and the people of Sanwu have complained.

The problem of money for the formation of a new army is solved, where will the people come from?

The Eastern Jin Dynasty implemented the world military system, that is, the household registration of ordinary people was divided into two kinds, one was the civilian household, and the other was the military household, and the military household was a soldier for generations and was subject to the state at any time. The Eastern Jin Dynasty has been fighting wars all year round, either with the north or with its own internal fighting, and the soldiers are already fighting fewer and fewer, and now they want to form a new army, where to find so many people?

Sima Yuanxian still has a brain, and he has set his sights on a type of person-guest.

What is a guest? The peasants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were also divided into two categories, one was the dependent peasants owned by the powerful landlords in their own manor economy, and the other was the state-controlled peasants.

There are two kinds of formations of these peasants in the manor economy, one is similar to the status of slaves, and the other is the semi-yeoman peasants who were originally slaves but were later given relative personal freedom, which is called "slave-free guests", but this part cannot be said to be free from the landlord and the master at will.

Sima Yuanxian set his sights on this part of the people who were "free from slaves and guests". In the name of the imperial court, he issued an order, announcing that the pardon of these guests was free and that they could leave the landlord, of course, there must be a condition--- they must be soldiers.

Sima Yuanxian thought that he had done a wonderful deed, and called these people "Le Genus", which basically means that after becoming a free person, he was happy and emotionally stable.

However, this order provoked unanimous opposition from all sectors of society.

Of course, the landlords in the Sanwu area are not happy, a large number of their own labor force is lost in the imperial court, and other regions do not do it, why do it only in us?

The guests who were "happy" were also unwilling, and finally improved their social status from slaves, became semi-yeoman farmers, and their lives were also guaranteed. Happy you're big, think we're stupid, we're like monkeys.

The people's grievances were boiling, and Sun En saw the opportunity.

In November 399, Sun En led his followers to land from the Zhoushan Islands and raised an army against the Jin, and the eight southeastern counties responded one after another.

After the Yellow Turban Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a second large-scale uprising of Taoists broke out.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty court was busy sending elite troops from Beifu to suppress it, and one of the leaders was named Xie Yan, and the other was the famous Liu Gaozhi.

Xie Yan, as soon as he saw this surname, he knew that he was a figure in the Xie family of the famous wealthy nobleman Chen Jun. Liu Gaozhi was a famous general in Beifu who defeated the former Qin king Fu Jian in the Battle of Weishui.

In the battle to suppress Sun En's uprising, Sun Wuzhong's generals recommended Liu Yu to Liu Gaozhi, and Liu Yu ushered in his opportunity to soar without warning.

In the pacification of Sun En's rebellion, Liu Yu repeatedly acted as a vanguard, wearing a strong and stubborn line, charging into battle, he was not only brave in battle, but also good at strategy, good command, good at winning more with less, so he was gradually promoted.

All generals who have achieved great things have a common characteristic -- they are strict in military discipline and good at following the mass line. Liu Yu is no exception.

In the battle to suppress Sun En's rebellion, many troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including Liu Gaozhi's troops, had corrupted military discipline and plundered the people. Only Liu Yu governed the army and had strict military discipline, which was well received by the people.

Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, Liu Yu was named General Jianwu and led Pi Taishou. Staff Officer Liu was suddenly promoted from a department-level cadre to a department-level cadre, and became famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Under the blows of Liu Gaozhi and Liu Yubei's soldiers, Sun En retreated and trapped the island. However, after this toss, the national strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was greatly depleted, and the defense of the capital was also weakened, which gave the confidence of another local warlord to rebel.

Huan Xuan.

Huan Xuan sat on Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, took advantage of convenient conditions to cut off the Yangtze River to the capital Jiankang, and frequently provoked Sima Yuanxian.

Sima Yuanxian knew that this war was inevitable and decided to strike first. He sent his confidant and adviser Zhang Fashun, the Taishou of Lujiang, to contact Liu Gaozhi, the general of the Beifu army.

Brave generals, the temperament type is generally choleric, the general city government is not deep, and the face is like a peaceful lake. Zhang Fashun saw from Liu Gaozhi's expression that Liu Gaozhi was reluctant to crusade against Huan Xuan.

Zhang Fashun was also a ruthless man, and persuaded Sima Yuanxian to kill Liu Gaozhi.

is about to rely on the Beifu soldiers to kill their generals, this kind of thing Sima Yuanxian does not do. Zhang Fashun saw that he could not persuade Sima Yuanxian, and offered another plan, which could make Liu Gaozhi die and crusade against Huan Xuan with the central government.

This plan is to let Liu Gaozhi kill Huan Xuan's uncle and brother Huan Qian (Huan Chong's son) in Jiankang first, so as to completely break with Huan Xuan and firmly tie himself together.

Although the brothers of the Huan family fought geese when they were young, it was a matter of childhood after all, and the relationship between the cousins was still quite good. Zhang Fashun's plan can be said to be both vicious and extremely effective.

However, Sima Yuanxian's approach surprised Zhang Fashun. Not only did he not do what Zhang Fashun said, but appointed Huan Qian as the assassin of Jingzhou.

Sima Yuanxian had his own ideas, first, he didn't want to push Liu Gaozhi too hard, and second, he knew the prestige of the Huan family in Jingzhou, and tried to buy people's hearts with it.

Ready, Sima Yuanxian appointed himself as the governor of the capital to command the Chinese army, with Liu Gaozhi as the vanguard and Sima Shangzhi as the rear army, and marched to Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Yu was in Liu Gao's army.

In this discussion, Liu Gaozhi's mood is complicated. For a man had already come to his tent.

Huan Xuan's envoy has come to persuade him to surrender.

Since the second year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (377), he was recruited to participate in the Beifu soldiers formed by Xie Xuan, the assassin of Yanzhou. In the battle between the north and the south, it was he who led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Luojian at night and defeated the former Qin army ten times his own, which played a major role in the victory of the entire war.

Later, Xie Xuan's Northern Expedition, he Liu Gaozhi was also the main general, and successively recovered Henan, Shandong, southern Shaanxi and other regions.

suppressed Sun En's rebellion, and naturally he Liu Gaozhi was indispensable.

However, he never became a feudal official. Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Yangzhou and other states have never considered him, just because he was born in the Shu clan and is not a wealthy family. Some people were born in Rome, and some were born into cattle and horses. Everything is fate, and nothing is up to anyone.

Because he was in charge of the Beifu soldiers, Wang Gong had wooed him, Sima Yuanxian had wooed him, and Huan Xuan had also wooed him. But he knew in his heart that these people had never really looked down on him, just because of his background, and the children of these noble families just drove him as an eagle dog.

Because of his betrayal of Wang Gong, he was given the status of the general of Zhengxi, the military governor of Yan, Qing, Hebei, You, He, Xu, Yangzhou and Jinling. Now, Sima Yuanxian and Huan Xuan began to bite each other again, and he Liu Gaozhi was pulled out as an eagle dog again.

What to do? The only choice is between Sima Yuanxian and Huan Xuan.

This choice is extremely difficult.

Late at night, the sky was full of stars outside the big tent, the candles in the big tent were jumping, Liu Gaozhi was pacing around with his hands hanging down, and his heart was swaying from side to side. recalled the scene when he went to meet Sima Yuanxian before the departure of this expedition, which made him make the final choice.

Before this expedition, Liu Gaozhi rushed to Jiankang from the Jingkou station, wanting to meet Sima Yuanxian. The doorman went to report many times, but Sima Yuanxian didn't see him, because he was drunk.

It wasn't until the army was drawn out and the idiot emperor and Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin came out to make a trip that Liu Gaozhi saw Sima Yuanxian.

The background of the Shu military generals originally made Liu Gaozhi extremely unconfident, and the nerves of people who are not confident are generally very sensitive, and Wang Gong's arrogant attitude made him angry, so he had the pre-battle defection that decided Wang Gong's fate.

Sima Yuanxian, you, just be the second Wang Gong.

Liu Gaozhi sent his son Liu Jingxuan to surrender in the Jingzhou army. Nephews He Wuji and Liu Yu persuaded hard, but there was no turning back when they opened the bow, but Liu Gaozhi did not listen.

In order to appease Liu's father and son, Huan Xuan held a banquet and accompanied Liu Jingxuan to visit the celebrity calligraphy and painting exhibition. Regarding Huan Xuan's flickering, the officials who were accompanying Jingzhou all looked at each other and laughed, but Liu Jingxuan didn't notice it.

The Beifu soldiers defected, and the Huanxuan Jingzhou army successfully attacked Stone City, and Jiankang fell.

Huan Xuan beheaded Sima Yuanxian, Sima Shangzhi, Zhang Fashun and others, and one person was also beheaded.

This person is, Yu Kai.

As mentioned above, when Wang Gong rebelled for the second time, Yuzhou assassin Shi Yukai was his ally. After being defeated by Sima Yuanxian, Yu Kai had to take refuge in Huan Xuan, and was appointed by Huan Xuan as the Taishou of Wuchang, and became a department-level cadre from a provincial and ministerial-level cadre.

Yu Kai has been swaying from side to side, in the confrontation between Huan Xuan and Sima Yuanxian, he secretly chose to take refuge in Sima Yuanxian, and promised to be Sima Yuanxian's undercover agent in the Huan Xuan array.

Huan Xuan also deposed Sima Daozi's prime minister, and borrowed the hands of the idiot emperor Sima Dezong to make himself prime minister, record Shang Shushi, and supervise all Chinese and foreign military affairs, and the actual military and political leader.

The uncle and brother Huan Qian shot for Shangshu Zuo, that is, the vice premier of the State Council, as his assistant in the Central Committee. The local important towns are all served by the children of the Huan family: Huan Xuan's younger brother Huan Wei is the history of Jingzhou Thorn, his uncle and brother Huan Xiu is the history of Xu Yan Erzhou Thorn, and his uncle and brother Huan Shisheng is the history of Jiangzhou Thorn.

After killing Sima Yuanxian and his party, and laying out the central and local bureaus, Huan Xuan was ready to arrange a good home for Liu Gaozhi.

Huan Xuan appointed Liu Gaozhi as the internal history of the Huiji, that is, the county Taishou, the mayor of Shaoxing City.

Liu Xuanzhi's foundation is in Jingkou, and his political capital is Beifu Bing, and Huan Xuan's appointment is clearly revealed. After that, whether Liu Gaozhi's life can be saved depends on Huan Xuan's mood.

Liu Gaozhi's fear was abnormal, and his son Liu Jingxuan advocated immediately raising troops to attack and kill Huan Xuan, and Liu Gaozhi also wanted to make a last stand.

However, the attitude of the generals of Beifu almost made him desperate.

Liu Gaozhi asked Liu Yu: Let's go to Guangling (Yangzhou) to unite with my son-in-law, Guangling Xiang Gaoyazhi, raise troops to help Sheji, can you go with me?

Liu Yu was angry and helpless: General, you have tens of thousands of strong soldiers, and you surrender when you say surrender. Huan Xuan's control of the world now has become an established fact, do you still want to go to Guangling, is Guangling your territory? If I want to go to you, I have to take off my military uniform and go back to my hometown Jingkou. (The general has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he has surrendered to the wind, he has new ambitions, and he has the power of the world, and the favor of the government and the opposition has gone, how can Guangling be evil!) Yudang returned to Jingkou. --"Information Governance Tongjian")

Liu Gaozhi gathered other generals of the Beifu Army, but the words of the subordinate general Liu Xi represent the attitude of the generals of the Beifu: General, you first betrayed Wang Gong, and then betrayed Sima Yuanxian, and now you want to create Huan Xuan's rebellion, one person and three rebellions, capricious, how can it be enough to support your life? ! (After the end of the sentence, tend to come out, and the officials scatter more - "Zizhi Tongjian")

Swaying from side to side, who is against whom, when the world is Lu Fengxian, the same as the three family slaves, who still treats you as the boss and follows you?

Liu Gaozhi's prestige among the Beifu soldiers was lost.

In desperation, Liu Gaozhi sent his son Liu Jingxuan to Jingkou to pick up his family and prepare to run away.

Liu Jingxuan was delayed and did not come back in time, Liu Gao's heart was shocked, thinking that the rebellion had been exposed, so he hurriedly led his entourage to cross the river.

On the way, the more Liu Gaozhi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he found a rope and hanged himself.

In the Battle of Weishui, the tiger general who shocked the Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian, and the courage of the Beifu was like Wei Zhongxian in later generations.

The strength of a person does not lie in the majesty and majesty of your appearance, but in the fact that you have a big heart. If you are strong enough to be a bastard, you can become a true king.

Liu Jingxuan picked up the family, but learned the news of his father's suicide, and hurriedly fled to Guangling to join his brother-in-law Gao Yazhi. The latter two raised troops against Huan Xuan, and after the defeat, they surrendered to Murong De of Nanyan in the north.

Liu Gaozhi, whose aura is not good, is isolated from the world, and Liu Yu, who has a high aura, has been appreciated by Huan Xuan. Huan Xuan was desperate for the future, and killed Gao Su (Gao Ya's father, Liu Gaozhi's in-laws), Liu Xi, Liu Jiwu and other old generals of Beifu. However, he left Liu Yu behind.

Liu Yu judged the situation and temporarily took refuge in Huan Xuan, pretending to respect Huan Xuan, and Taoguang was obscure.

Huan Xuan felt that he had killed all the bigwigs of the Beifu soldiers, and the troubles were basically eliminated, this army was still useful, in view of Liu Yu's high prestige among the Beifu soldiers, it was still useful to leave him to win him over. Is this decision made by Huan Xuan right or wrong? Let's see.
