Chapter 126 World Events
"Oh, why not say it, so as to make a reference for my next action." Wen said happily after hearing this.
"The number of people in Gaoyi County was originally more than 30,000, but after this battle, the number of people was reduced by 67,000, and most of them were strong. However, during the past few days of my activity in the county, I also learned from Qianshou that there were still two or three thousand young men who were defeated by the bandits and wandered outside. Nearly a thousand Qianshou had fled to the deep mountains in the southwest before the bandits attacked." Liu Zhong said immediately.
"Well, do you mean that there are still thousands of people hiding in the mountains before the battle?" Wen Chou said in surprise. Because each population is the key to his strength development, he couldn't help but care. He was originally frowning because of the small population of Gaoyi County and the loss of war. He was naturally excited when he heard the good news.
"That is, it is said that these people originally planned to move back after the war if the bandits were repelled. If the bandits were permanently stationed here, they would also flee to the county seat Yuanshi County!" Liu Zhongzheng said with a remark.
"In this way, in a few days, when the news of our army's great victory came out, that is, the day they returned. Well, such a great victory will also lead to many refugees and refugees who are seeking refugees in the mountains. It seems that the population is not a problem." Wen said with a scandal and muttered.
"It should be so, but I don't know when they will arrive. But Wenjun doesn't have to worry too much. With the great reputation you have gained, how could no one come here?" Liu Zhong said affirmatively, and then he complimented Wen Chou with a rare slight compliment.
"Haha, I laughed at you. My reputation was only established with the support of you, Jinyan, Gongji, Ziyong and others! I remember this kindness deeply." Wen said with a scandal, and first sighed, and then asked: "Besides the matter of going out of the Guizhou Shou, what else has happened to you?"
"Mr. Wen is a noble virtue." Liu Zhong first asked Wen Chou and then said, "Former Gaoyi County Lord, the county magistrate, must be aware of the matter of abandoning the city by placing seals, but there are not many county officials and staff who follow him. Can Wen Jun know?"
"Oh, there is also this matter. Didn't most county officials escape with them?" Wen Chou said in surprise here. According to the news he received, most county officials had already followed the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and why did Liu Zhong say that?
"The county officials I mentioned were local county officials who were originally citizens of Gaoyi County. Most of them had to resign and return home because of the suppression of the foreign county magistrate and county magistrate. Therefore, they did not follow the county magistrate and county magistrate. Those who walked were close people who were promoted by these two people in the past one or two years." Liu Zhong explained.
"There is such a thing!" Wen Chou was surprised. He had only been in office for a year and did not know much about the composition of the county officials in Pingji, let alone Gaoyi County, so he did not know anything about this matter. This also made his own vision and boundaries slightly limited.
"It is normal for Wenjun to not know. After all, these people have been idle for two or three years!" Liu Zhongyan said.
"It seems that they need to be invited to serve in office again to benefit the development of Gaoyi County and the stability of people's livelihood." Wen Chou said.
"That is, in addition to this, there are seven or eight wealthy families in the village, each with hundreds of disciples and tens of millions of families, which is a force that cannot be ignored! In addition, there are dozens of millions of families, and dozens of disciples and guests. This time, they have done a lot of effort to disrupt the county town." Liu Zhong continued.
"Is there any?" Wen's scandal flashed with joy, because all Liu Zhong's words were of great help to his subsequent actions.
"The other is that ordinary people in Guizhou are at ease. I think Wenjun has long seen that if he can start from this aspect, he should be able to get their support very quickly." Liu Zhongyan said.
"This matter is not a big problem. I am consistent with my style and peace of the people first!" Wen Chou said with a smile.
......
In this way, the two of them talked about some other things, which made Wen Chou have a deeper understanding of the current situation of Gaoyi County, and the planning blueprint in his mind gradually became clearer. This will be another milestone foundation-laying path for Wen Chou! Before the chaos in the world, we can accumulate strength and an important part of the power.
If we talk about the chaos in the world, it is actually not far away.
It is now the fifth year of Zhongping, and it is early March. Except for Wen Chou in Pingjigaoyi County and leading people to resist the Black Mountain bandits Guo Daxian's tribe, the incidents in several other places in the empire have a greater impact than this. For example, starting from February this year, the remaining Yellow Turban tribes in the Central Plains have been infringed one after another.
"In February, Guo Tai was in charge of the Baibo Valley of Xihe (now Yonggu Town, Xiangfen, Shanxi), and led Taiyuan County (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), Hedong County (now northwest of Xia County, Shanxi)." It made the court furious, but there was not enough troops to suppress Yi and Ye, so it could only allow it to develop.
Because the empire's army is now deeply trapped in the war quagmire of Liangzhou, the northwestern frontier.
This matter starts with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising in October of the first year of Zhongping was suppressed by the court, but the court army did not have any time to rest, because in November of the same year, the Qiang man Beigong Boyu rebelled and took the then governor of Liangzhou and the Han party engaged in Liangzhou as hostages, and refused to release them. This Korean party was Han Sui, who had been active on the political stage at the end of the Han Dynasty for 20 or 30 years, and Bian Yun was Bian Zhang who was killed by Han Sui soon.
There was a rebellion in Liangzhou. Zuo Chang, who was the governor of Liangzhou at that time, naturally could not sit idly by, so he sent Gai Xun to lead his army to defend Ayang County. Seeing that Ayang County could not be broken, the rebels turned to attack Jincheng County, beheaded Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng County, and forced Bian Zhang. Han Sui joined the gang and elected Bian Zhang as the leader. Bian Zhang led his army to surround the prefecture-Master Ji County. Zuo Chang was defeated and sought help from Gai Xun.
Gai Xun led reinforcements to Ji County, accusing Bian Zhang and others of betraying the court. Bian Zhang and Han Sui said: "If Zuo Chang had heard you earlier and sent troops to rescue Jincheng County, we might have been able to reform ourselves. Now we are in great sins and can't surrender anymore." So Bian Zhang and others cried and lifted the siege of Ji County. Later, they surrounded Xia Yu, the guard of the Qiang school. Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue was officially renamed Han Sui at this time. By this time, their power was already extraordinary.
In March of the second year of Zhongping, Han Sui and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to invade Sanfu under the banner of killing eunuchs and invaded Yuanling. The Han Emperor hurriedly sent the left cavalry general Huangfu Song and the central general Dong Zhuo to conquer, but they were not defeated. Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others further expanded their strength and had a population of 100,000, which caused the world to be disturbed.
In July of the same year, Huangfu Song was exempted from his return for nothing. In August, the court again appointed Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot and cavalry. During the holiday, he took Yuan Pang of Jinwu as his deputy, appointed Dong Zhuo as the general of defeating the enemy, and was appointed as the general of the enemy, Zhou Shen, and the commander of Zhang Wen. A total of more than 100,000 soldiers, infantry and cavalry of the various counties, were stationed in Meiyang to defend the Royal Garden. Han Sui also advanced to Meiyang. Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo fought with Han Sui and others, which was unfavorable. At this point, most of the Han Court's troops were entrusted to this important town on the frontier.
In November, at night, there were shooting stars like fire, more than ten feet long, illuminating Han Sui's camp, and both donkeys and horses screamed. Han Sui and Bian Zhang's army thought this was an ominous sign and wanted to retreat to Jincheng. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard about it. The next day, he joined forces with You Fufeng Bao Hong and others to attack, defeated Han Sui and Bian Zhang's army, and beheaded thousands of levels.
Han Sui and others were defeated and fled to Yuzhong. Zhang Wen then sent Zhou Shen to lead his army to pursue him and lead his troops to surround Yuzhong City. Han Sui and Bian Zhang divided their troops to garrison Kuiyuan Gorge, but instead cut off Zhou Shen's food route. Zhou Shen felt panic and threw away the baggage.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, with more than 100,000 troops, and marched to surround Longxi. In April, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, led six counties to attack Han Sui. Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi, and Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, rebelled with Han Sui, and Geng Bi was killed by a different commander. The Hanyang kingdom claimed to be a general, and they all joined forces with Han Sui, and then surrounded Han Yang. The prefect of Han Yang Fu Xie was killed in battle. Geng Bi's Sima, Fufeng's men, Ma Teng, also rebeled. Han Sui and others jointly recommended the kingdom as the main force and plundered the Sanfu area.
The Sanfu area is the last barrier of the Imperial God Capital. In this way, the Imperial Army will not have any extra troops to take care of the rest!
In addition, in March of the fifth year of Zhongping, the massacre of various Hu attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou.
In fact, Tu Gehu had a rebellion as early as the New Year, but it has never been a big deal, so it has never attracted everyone's attention, just like the merits obtained by Wen Chou who made a small fuss. However, this March, Tu Gehu attacked and killed the governor of Bingzhou, which had to attract people's attention.
Such various military invasions made the empire giant exhausted physically and mentally and covered in scars. It directly led to another major event that caused a sensation in the court. Not long ago, Taichang Liu Yan wrote to Emperor Han for "the world's soldiers are constantly attacking," and suggested that the governor be changed to the prefectural governor to the prefecture to pay attention to his position.
The governor was originally an inspector, with little power, only 600 sequels. However, since this dynasty, this position of management has gradually transformed into a local administrative officer, and has great military and political opportunities in the state. Now, in order to suppress the uprisings of peasant uprisings one after another, the Han emperor changed the governor to the prefecture governor, and selected the minister of the court as prefecture governor.
So at this point, the provincial governor became the chief executive of the county, holding the administrative power of a state and had a very heavy position. From then on, the provincial governors each occupied one side, which was like separatist regime. It can be said that this resolution in the court eventually led to the separatist dispute between the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yan gave this advice to the Emperor of Han, so he naturally had his own little plan.
He suggested: "The troops in all directions are not strong enough to ban the governor, and they cannot be banned, and they are not the ones, which leads to rebellion. It is advisable to change Mu Bo and select famous officials in the Qing Dynasty to take up his post." Yan wanted to seek Jiaozhi Zu. Dong Fu, the chief minister of the State Councilor, said to Yan: "The capital is about to be in chaos, and Yizhou is divided into different fields." Yan then sought Yizhou even more - this was the idea of establishing himself as an emperor!
Huiyizhou Governor Xi Jian was troubled by troubles, and rumors were heard far away, but Geng Bi and Zhang Yi were all killed by thieves. The court then followed the proposal and selected the ministers as the governor of the state, and each held a post based on his original rank. He was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, Huang Wan as the governor of Yuzhou, and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou in Donghai. The importance of the prefecture began from then on.
This is the beginning of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son taking charge of Yizhou for nearly thirty years.
