Chapter Eighty-Six: Jiaozhou Mu

The situation in the Luoyang Palace and the court is changing. Outside the court, the same wind and clouds change, and the city head changes the king's flag. The yellow scarf has not been extinguished, and there is no inner tank in the court for the time being, and many families have begun to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for power. Originally, the highest magistrate of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty was the assassin of the history, and now there is a rebellion in various places, and after Liu Yu, the king of Lugong of the clan, Liu Yan asked the Empress Dowager He to set up a state pastor under the pretext of suppressing the rebels in various places.

Liu Yan saw that the world was turbulent, so he wanted to get a place to settle down, divide one side, and be the emperor of one side, so he gave a gift to the Empress Dowager He and asked to be the pastor of Yizhou. Empress Dowager He had just put her son on the throne and needed someone to support her, so Liu Yan, who was a clan identity, jumped out, and Empress Dowager He adopted Liu Yan's suggestion to give the assassin history responsible for supervising each county to the local military power, so as to strengthen the control of each county, and promoted part of the assassin history to the state pastor, which was served by the clan surnamed Liu or important ministers.

As the initiator, Liu Yan was the Marquis of Yangcheng and the pastor of Yizhou, and went to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials. Liu Yan entered Yizhou and sent Zhang Lu to entrench in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu cut off the traffic and killed the Han envoys, and since then Yizhou has been blocked from the central road. Liu Yan further attacked the local tyrants internally and consolidated his own power, so Yizhou was in a semi-independent state.

Immediately everyone else began to follow the example and began to ask for the state pastor, the Empress Dowager He couldn't resist, and in some places she couldn't manage it at all, and the Ling Emperor Liu Hong had no way to manage it when he was there, and he could only break the power of the local family by selling officials, and now it was even more impossible, her idea was very simple, you want you to support my son as the emperor, and she is also willing to seal these places that can't be managed to do a favor, and the state pastor in the world began to prevail, and some people directly proclaimed themselves before they came to the court to report.

After Taixuan, who was far away in Jiaozhou, heard about it, he immediately sent an envoy to Luoyang to ask for the pastor of Jiaozhou, and sent someone to contact Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, who were the ten permanent servants, to reveal their handle with Taiping Dao, and let the two of them blow the wind in front of the Empress Dowager He. The court has long known the situation in Jiaozhou, but Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, although it belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty, but most of the areas in the territory are still in a state of wilderness, since the Han Dynasty in addition to the Han Wu Emperor also attached importance to a hand, the later emperors are regarded as a wild place, a place of exile for criminals, and the power of the court is already limited.

The people of Taixuan Dao asked the Pastoral Order of Jiaozhou to make the Manchu Dynasty shocked, and they had to temporarily put aside their conflicts of interest and discuss countermeasures together. Because of the extreme vigilance and horror of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that almost shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty just now, many people advocated immediately requisitioning a large army to crusade against Jiaozhou and eradicate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

At this time, Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, who were among the ten permanent servants, jumped out to sing the opposite, but the two put forward another opinion at this time, thinking that the imperial court had spent countless national funds to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it has not yet subsided, so it is really not appropriate to go on an expedition for the sake of a mere Yellow Turban remnant. Moreover, in the wild land of Jiaozhou, those remnants of the Yellow Turban are no different from exile there, which is already an extremely heavy punishment in itself. For today's plan, Mo Ruo ordered Jingzhou to strictly organize its troops and horses, form a threatening and oppressive trend against Jiaozhou, and strictly prevent it from going north to cause chaos. On the other hand, he followed Taixuan's wishes and sent an envoy to appease that Taixuan, and ordered him to lead tens of thousands of bandits to garrison Jiaozhou and defend the southern frontier for the Han Dynasty to forgive his previous sins.

Although this proposal was very absurd, most of the courtiers also speculated that the reason why Feng Yu and Xu Feng worked so hard to divide the remnants of the Yellow Turban was probably to seek great benefits from it. However, in order to stabilize her son's throne as the emperor, the Empress Dowager He is now very fond of the ten permanent servants, and she has already expressed her praise without waiting for everyone to hinder her, and even praised the two with the words of "old man seeking the country", and immediately issued an edict to act in accordance with this law.

A few months later, an envoy from the court came to Jiaozhou to preach the holy decree and read to him an edict that crowned Taixuan Dao as the pastor of Jiaozhou. Taixuan Taoist just arched his hand, and took the edict very casually, and the freshly baked Jiaozhou Muhua Lord appeared, and Taixuan used the real name of this body after his reincarnation, 'Hua Manlou', to ask the Han family.

The envoy turned a blind eye to the rudeness of this Lord Hua to receive the edict, and when the other party accepted the edict, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Lord Hua, he has done what you want the two adults to do, is it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Taixuan Daoist smiled slightly, and at that time, he took out a few silk books from his sleeve and handed them to the messenger, and said with a smile: "Feng Zhen and Xu Feng are believers, and this matter is indeed done properly." The envoy can rest assured that the poor road should repay the peach, and these letters will be presented to the two adults by the envoy, and on behalf of the poor road, he said, "Money and goods, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

The messenger did not say much, but took the letters and examined them in detail, and then took them out and lit them on fire, and burned them on the spot.

After Taixuan became the new pastor of Jiaozhou, he became the shopkeeper, and Jia Cong was still handling government affairs, and the military affairs manager was still training the troops. After Taixuan received the original garrison of Jiaozhou, there were already 30,000 troops, and in the past year, Guan Hai had scattered many of the original more than 400 Yellow Turban Outer Gate masters into the army and became a small leader, and there were thousands of people under the largest person, and the army was quickly controlled. Taixuan was not ready to expand, and began to take the route of elite soldiers, so that Guan Hai could practice fiercely.

After Zhang Jiao ascended to heaven in Guangzong, the Yellow Turban Army, which was burning smoke all over the world and shaking the Han Dynasty, had been exterminated by the Korean and Chinese armies that had reacted. The Yellow Turban Qu Shuai of Taiping Road, who was originally gathered in Guangzong City, began to return to their respective nests and began to brew a bigger chaos, and Emperor Ling's appointment of Huangfu Song was still valid, and he continued to chase after Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang with soldiers and horses. The Yellow Turbans in various places have received the state herds, the families and wealthy families have begun to exert their strength, and the Yellow Turbans of Taiping Road have gradually collapsed in less than half a year, although there are still several remnant forces struggling to support, but it is difficult to do anything.

Taixuan secretly sent people to the Central Plains to spread the news, Jiaozhou is willing to accept everyone to settle here, Jiaozhou is his own family to come at ease, and at the same time sent the 30,000 troops brought by Guan Hai to the border with Jingzhou, to deter Liu Biao, who has become the pastor of Jingzhou, and let Liu Biao release these Yellow Turban people who are willing to come to Jiaozhou.

Liu Biao happened to be tired of these Yellow Turban refugees, and together with the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou, they all rushed to Jiaozhou, specially opening the channel so that there was nowhere to go to Jiaozhou after the defeat of batches of Yellow Turbans, and even provided grain and grass halfway so that these people could quickly go to Jiaozhou.

At the end of the year, another group of people came to Jiaozhou, with tens of thousands of yellow scarves like chaotic people, led by Ma Yuanyi. At the same time, there are more than 300 yellow turban wrestlers, and the leader is actually Zhou Cang. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were defeated and killed, this is the last group of Yellow Turbans who are willing to come to Jiaozhou, and this year Jiaozhou has received nearly one million Yellow Turbans and displaced people mixed in the Yellow Turbans. Many people or Taixuan personally and Guan Hai ran to the Jingzhou border near Yuzhou to pick up, at the beginning Liu Biao also provided grain and grass, but later found that there were more and more people, and hurriedly sent people to complain to Taixuan, so that Taixuan himself to pick up people.
