43. Chapter 43 Zizhi Tongjian and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty
Like the end of every dynasty, the fields around Luoyang City fully reflect what it means to be "rich and poor". It's just that there are too many competitive big customers in Luoyang City, and the royal family, foreign relatives, eunuchs, and clans all have a great demand for Gyeonggi land.
On the one hand, this is the compromise policy implemented by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Xiuqi against the powerful clan, which made land annexation an irrepressible chronic disease. On the other hand, since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the relatives and ministers frequently supported the young emperor, in order to maintain the imperial power, the heavenly family had to use the power of the eunuch to fight against the relatives, the bloody struggle between the eunuch party and the noble relatives, so that the ruling group of Luoyang Dumen habitually changed blood, and the property of the loser who fell on this bloody career was constantly shared by the victors in this round of party struggle.
As a result, with the exception of a few high-class estates and royal villages, most of the estates of the high families were evenly dispersed across the land of Gyeonggi in a finely fragmented form.
If you were to label these people's fields with different colors, if you look at them from the satellite map, the land of Gyeonggi would look like a poor bald donkey's tattered garment.
"Land annexation, which can be said to be an unavoidable stubborn disease in the entire era of East Asian agricultural society, was fine in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and the continuous migration and development of the southern and western regions actually provided a good foundation for the survival of the dynasty. In fact, at this time, it seems that the development of the Yangtze River basin has only just begun, which is enough to digest the bankruptcy of yeoman farmers in the Central Plains under the merger of powerful people. It's a pity that the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the external Confucianism and internal law have always been particularly interested in suppressing population flows. This method may be useful if it can bloodied the families who benefit the most from the existing system from head to toe, otherwise they will have to continue to play low-level zero-sum games such as party strife. ”
Riding on the horse, he didn't find a support point that could save effort for a long time, and the fairy warlock in the green shirt and the sword simply collapsed his shoulders and sat on the green horse as much as he wanted.
But not being motivated does not mean that there is no interest in talking, and no matter how fringe the internal elements of the system are, it is enough to see the lesions of the Han Empire, although it is not terminally ill, but also has five tuberculosis and seven injuries. Of course, it is the elements within the system, and the more unwilling they are, the more interested they are in opposing the system.
It's just hard for those who are bombarded by the fatigue of compulsory teaching.
After walking less than eight miles, the team of the Big Gun Mansion spontaneously queued up more than ten times, and everyone fought bravely to the front row, looking very vigorous and energetic.
Seeing that it didn't take long for the backward comrades to catch up with each other, the people who had been exhausted by the fatigue bombardment of "Hundred Pulpits on Horseback" left each other with a "you understand" look.
Being stimulated by the compulsory teaching can catch up with the strengthening effect of supernatural forces such as "morale boosting" and "divine blessing".
And some people accepted a set of compulsory teaching version of "Inspiration and Blessing" from beginning to end, but they still maintained their usual pace, and maintained a parallel state with Wei Ye who was riding a green horse—at most, at most, his war horse was slightly more than half a head forward.
And Wei Ye, who has always been a little good at being a teacher, although he has shifted the target of the bombardment from the eunuch party to the party faction that prides himself on being a clear stream, his firepower has not relaxed at all:
"Although the rebellion case of the general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan seems to be just an armed coup organized by the party members, even under the banner of eliminating the eunuchs, it can't cover up the smell of desperateness. But for the Heavenly Family, the combination of General Dou, the head of the relatives, and Chen Taifu, the head of the civil officials, is simply like Huo Guang, the powerful minister who abolished the Son of Heaven in the Western Han Dynasty, swindled the corpse from the cemetery. Yihuo Zhichen, this is unacceptable even for an emperor with an IQ of only ninety, who knows if you want to be the second of Liang Ji who killed the young emperor after you become the second Huo Guang? And whether it is the Dou family or the Taifu Chen, there is no one who can fight except for the doormen raised by the house, and the team of less than 1,000 people wants to play an armed coup d'état, when I am a big man like Gaddafi, can a little white-faced ticket friend usurp power?"
If Wei Ye wants to continue to ridicule again, it is difficult to guarantee that even those celebrities who insist on gentleman's ethics but are played to death by the eunuchs will not be shot, but an excellent swordsman always has a very good psychological quality. After dealing with Wei Ye a lot, Liu Yefei only smiled and didn't answer.
However, from time to time, Wei Ye threw a few key questions over like a surprise question in class, and carried out surprise bombing.
Just like now.
"Speaking of which, the Zhuangzi that Taiping Dao used as a base, have you checked out, which industry? It's really going to make a big fuss tonight, and by the way, drag their backstage out and bite it, it's definitely good and no harm. ”
Such a low-level to a clear political trick, that is, Wei Ye generously instilled it to Liu Yefei as a clever plan.
"Zhao Tou'er specially sent someone to inquire, that Taipingzhuang used to be the grange of the Dou family, but now it should be regarded as a royal village, but the inner palace seems to dislike the bad luck there, and it doesn't take care of it very carefully, and it has been marginalized for a long time. ”
"Huangzhuang, climbing the emperor or biting the group of dead eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants, this seems to be a little more difficult, so I didn't say it. Wei Ye shrugged and took the initiative to end the topic.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty and Shi Changshi, the pair of super loser pig teammates, can be regarded as an all-star team in the Twenty-four History. Even when the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Taiping Road was suppressed in the future, Emperor Ling of Han and the Ten Standing Servants did not add chaos to the official army, which made people wonder which end of the combined ass of the emperor and the eunuch was sitting.
It's not that this group of eunuchs is a mentally and intellectually damaged brain-disabled person, but they are too obsessed with power tricks and suppressing the main faction of the party. Having said that, eunuchs, an artificially sterilized breed, are inherently unsuitable for the battlefield, and eunuchs like Qin Han and Zheng He, who are famous in history as martial artists, are basically rare and strange species. Choosing to suppress the generals of the main suppression faction and sabotage the suppression operation to prevent the party from making a comeback through military exploits has become the instinctive choice of these old eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants.
The position that the Big Gun Mansion is showing now, although it is not very close to the party faction, but it is not very friendly with the eunuch party, but it has something in common with the pure-blooded emperor party like Shizhong Temple. Speaking of which, the establishment of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was originally aimed at the newly rising foreign relative He Jin, the brother of the current queen, the official worship general, although he is the leader of the foreign relatives faction, but he has a close relationship with the party faction.
It is probably someone with a heart who took Dou Wu and Chen Fan's actions to lead the Qing monarch to move the Ling Emperor Liu Hong and the Empress Dowager Dong, although the miser mother and son were confused in big things, but shrewd in small things, and allocated a sum of money from the inner treasury of the West Garden to raise a new forbidden army to guard against He Jin, which is also the proper meaning of the Heavenly Family's manipulation of power.
"Speaking of which, you should also thank us for coming to the temple, last year, the ban was issued to the temple, asking for the method of praying for disasters, and as a result, the six great Confucians led by Zhang Lao Shizhong said that the "Taigong Liutao" "The Son of Heaven will be in the army, and he is disgusted with the ominous Quartet", and the emperor who is a fan of wealth is willing to take out so much money to form such a small army of less than 2,000 people. If it weren't for this excuse, why would he be in the way, and you would still want to infiltrate the Xiyuan Forbidden Army in such an orderly manner? It would be strange that He Jin didn't send a bunch of airborne cadres to come in and crush you to death. ”
Putting the bamboo slips in his hand to a roll, Wei Ye flipped through the "Zizhi Tongjian" that had just been called out, and his fingers happened to fall on the paragraph in the fifth year of Zhongping:
"Look, the Xiyuan New Army, which was originally built in the name of suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising and resisting the Xiqiang Rebellion, was provoked by some well-intentioned people to become the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, which was purely a new toy of the Son of Heaven, and it was several years ahead of schedule. Without the rebel army of Taiping Dao as the MT who released the taunting skills, it looks like you can't hold it anymore, right? Those dead eunuchs in the palace who want to die and ask for money have already begun to want to drink the blood of the soldiers and eat empty salaries, right? If the Taiping Road Rebellion breaks out a year early, it seems that you will get a lot of benefits. ”
As the most loyal listener beside the immortal warlock, Liu Yefei frowned, did not speak, and pretended to be dumb.
So, what is the reason for Taiping Dao to start in advance?
Wei Ye's fingertips swiped on the terminal of the bamboo slip again, and clicked on the article "The Biography of Huangfu Song Zhu Junlie" in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and his eyes fell on these two sentences:
"In the first year of Zhongping, Ma Yuanyi traveled back and forth to Beijing, with Zhongchang Feng Xu and Xu Feng as the internal response, and it was about March 5 to rise both inside and outside. Before he could make a rebellion, Zhang Jiao's disciple Jinan Tang Zhou wrote to inform him, so Che split Yuanyi in Luoyang. ”
It seems that no matter whether there are adventurers mixed up or not, the internal strife within Taiping Road is so lively and rolling, it is simply a standard garbage stock.
Casually closing the window on the terminal of the bamboo slip, Wei Ye raised his head and looked at the deserted grange that had faintly revealed its outline in the night.
