Chapter 204: Southern Xinjiang Establishes the Name of "Taixuan"
After Zhang Jiao died in Guangzong due to injury and illness, the Yellow Turban Army, which was burning all over the world and shaking the Han Dynasty, gradually collapsed.
It's just that the chaos set off by the Yellow Turban Army did not end with its demise, but brewed an even greater chaos. At the beginning, the imperial court issued an edict allowing local heroes to recruit villagers to quell the chaos, which laid the root of the situation of the combination of heroes and the division of power. Now this root of the curse is brewing in the shadows, and one day it will break through the ground and plunge the world into a chaotic world that no one can control anymore.
After a turmoil, some people suffer and others benefit, and a new round of power distribution and competition will inevitably start within the court. Just when this turmoil had not subsided, suddenly a military emergency report from Jingzhou came to the DPRK, reporting that Yu Tianlai, a "Taixuan Zhenren" who had appeared in the Battle of Guangzong but had disappeared before the imperial court broke through the city, had done something again. With the identity of the Yellow Turban Thief's first horn and disciple, he recruited a large number of Yellow Turban thieves who were desperate in the Jingxiang area, and he actually coerced tens of thousands of bandits in more than a month. Subsequently, this Yu Tianlai did not intrude on the nine counties of Jingxiang, but went all the way south into the territory of Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou is vast and sparsely populated, although it belongs to the territory of the Han Dynasty, most of the areas in the territory are still in a state of wilderness, and the power of the imperial court is already limited. That Yu Tianlai led tens of thousands of bandits to Jiaozhou, and easily expelled all the forces of the imperial court, and now the few cities and counties in Jiaozhou have all been occupied by it.
This incident shocked the whole Manchu dynasty and forced them to temporarily put aside their conflicting interests and discuss countermeasures. 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.
However, Han Kui and Song Dian, who were among the ten permanent servants, put forward another opinion at this time. They believed that the imperial court had spent countless amounts of national money to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it was really inappropriate to go on an expedition for the sake of a few Yellow Turban remnants. 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 the sake of today's plan, on the one hand, Mo Ruo ordered the Jingzhou side to strictly organize its troops and horses, forming a threatening and oppressive situation against Jiaozhou, and strictly preventing chaos in its northern mountains, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to appease Na Yu Tianlai, and ordered him to lead tens of thousands of bandits to garrison Jiaozhou, and defend the southern Xinjiang for the Han Dynasty to forgive the previous sins.
Although this proposal was greatly absurd, most of the courtiers speculated that the reason why Han and Song worked so hard to divide the remnants of the Yellow Turban was probably to seek great benefits from it. However, the Son of Heaven wanted to write a letter to favor the ten permanent servants, but he did not wait for everyone to admonish him, and even praised the two with the words "old man seeks the country", and immediately issued an edict to act in accordance with this law.
A few months later, the imperial envoy came to Jiaozhou to meet Yu Tianlai and read to him an edict that crowned him as the general of Jingnan Zhonglang.
Yu Tianlai stood on the spot very casually to receive the edict at that time, and then took the edict without some respect.
The envoy also turned a blind eye to this, and when the other party accepted the edict, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Taixuan Zhenren, he has done what you want the two marquis to do, and now it is time for you to fulfill your promise."
Yu Tianlai smiled slightly, and then took out a few silk letters from his sleeve and handed them to the messenger, and said with a smile: "Han and Song 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 marquis 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 sandwiched them between his palms, and when he rubbed them, all the silk letters were scattered on the ground into fragments, showing the extremely subtle and deep feminine strength of his hand.
It is said that when Zhang Jiao preached the Taiping Tao in the world, there were many high-ranking officials and nobles who admired his Taoism and joined the door, and Feng Zhen, Han Kui, and Song Dian, who were in the position of regular servants at that time, were among them. Among them, Han Kui and Song Dian did not collude with Zhang Jiao too deeply and finally caused the disaster of killing when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, but they also directly or indirectly provided Zhang Jiao with a lot of convenience and left several crucial letters. Now these letters have become a lever for Yu Tian to use, and after some operation, he finally found a foothold for himself and tens of thousands of followers.
The foundation is already there, and what is born is to run it. With the knowledge accumulated by Yu Tian over several lifetimes, it is simply not too handy to start this kind of farming and raising soldiers again. With the orderly promulgation of regulations on military, administrative, economic, and people's livelihood, and the orderly development of each work under his allocation, Jiaozhou, a wild land that had been silent for many years, was revitalized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually evolved into a worry-free paradise outside the troubled times of the Han Dynasty.
In addition to these secular affairs, Yu Tianlai also began to preach and preach. Now that he has nominally accepted the imperial court's recruitment, the name of "Taiping Dao" naturally cannot be used anymore. So Yu Tianlai re-established a religion named "Taixuan Dao", and took charge of teaching and formulated various doctrines. He studied through hundreds of schools of thought, and his proposed teachings also learned from others' strengths, not only guiding people to abandon evil and turn to good, but also persuading people to be positive and enterprising, and constantly striving for self-improvement.
The people who followed Yu Tianlai came to see his ability as a matter for all to see, and they were full of convincing and reverence, and they were originally Taiping Dao believers, and they couldn't help but love the house and Wu with the identity of the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" Zhang Jiao, so they naturally turned into the freshly baked "Taixuan Dao" religion, and became devout believers after receiving a period of doctrinal edification.
Although Jiaozhou is located in southern Xinjiang, after a long time, some people still spread the news that this place has gradually become a peaceful land and a land of peace. At this time, although the chaos in the world of the Han Dynasty was peaceful, the small chaos continued, and many people were displaced. Some of these people who had lost their homes and lands heard the news, and although they couldn't believe it, many of them fled south with the hope of an eventuality. And the endless inflow of these populations just makes up for the population shortcomings that restrict the further development of Jiaozhou.
While cultivating power, Yu Tianlai did not relax his cultivation. It's just that his cultivation has reached his current state, and under normal circumstances, he no longer needs to retreat and do penance, and every word and deed on weekdays can be made a part of his practice. In addition, his spiritual strength is extremely strong, and it is common for him to use a number of things, and he often deals with all kinds of complicated military, political and educational affairs while participating in the study of the "Taishang Asking Dao" from the "Taiping Technique" and the "Zangfeng Fei Dian Record" from Yu Ji, and gradually integrates these two exercises with what he has learned. In this way, his cultivation gradually improved day by day, and gradually reached an indescribable and wonderful realm......
