Chapter 2964: A few years of chaos, people's hearts cannot be discovered(1/2)
Heluo area.
A group of Yang soldiers were patrolling the ferry in boredom.
To be honest, if the Yang family located in Heluo had some thoughts about being dismissed in the early days, they are basically in the bad form now. Those with a little bit of intelligence will not choose to surrender to the Yang family. They either go to the east or the west, and even many of their soldiers have run away. If Fei Qian had not recruited soldiers, they would have to have good families, it is hard to say how many big-headed soldiers would be left in Heluo.
I have no future, so I have to make some money.
The Heluo Land itself is an excellent place, but unfortunately, although this land has eight levels, it is difficult to stick to.
However, for these key points, for the Yang soldiers, as long as they can quarrel, everything will be fine.
The water flow in the middle and upper reaches of the river is relatively fast. Even in the autumn and winter periods, it is not said that you can cross the river at will. However, after the middle and lower reaches, the water flow becomes much more gentle and the river banks on both sides are relatively low, which forms a series of famous ferries.
Xiaopingjin is east of Mengjin. Together with Mengjin, it became a northern pass to protect Luoyang, but its importance is far less than Mengjin.
Mengjin is now stationed by Fei Qian, with conventional military camps and soldiers. Whereas in Xiaopingjin, the terrain is flat, which is not conducive to defense and the old barriers are abandoned, so no military camps are established. Most merchants generally choose to go to Mengjin, because although Mengjin has soldiers stationed, as long as they are not tax evasion, the soldiers stationed in Mengjin will not charge extra fees.
There are generally few people who go to Xiaopingjin, but not without them. Because even with less taxes, some merchants want to escape, and they are often small merchants. The smaller the merchants, the more they feel the tax is heavy and are unwilling to pay these costs, but they must bear the corresponding risks.
The Yang soldiers came to capture these people.
However, these small merchants generally have little wealth and rarely squeeze out much oil and water. They can only be considered better than nothing. Catching one is an extra joy.
The Yang soldiers were lying or sitting lazily, and almost no one was watching the ferry. They were just breathable and lazy, and they could catch them naturally, and it was normal not to catch them. They didn't think they had to be loyal to their duties.
If Yang Biao and Yang Xiu were poems, songs, or something, they would naturally be romantic talents. However, it would be difficult to make them start from scratch and build a strong Heluo area from scratch. The most important thing is not that the Yang family has no talent, but that they are too talented, so they are so talented that they are far from reality and choose in the air, and cannot see what the grassroots people want.
Yang Biao has this problem, and Yang Xiu also has it.
This disease is really hard to cure.
What the people want, they know a little, but they don’t care. They also know a little, and they don’t care. So whether it is the people or soldiers, they are just tools in the eyes of Yang. So who would have any feelings for tools and want to understand what tools are thinking?
Yang Biao and Yang Xiu both believed that they were the hardest-working person in the world and had endured the most suffering.
In the world, which family can be like the Yang family. Even if the emperor leaves, he will still be loyal, work diligently and diligently protecting and repairing Luoyang City?
No!
Only Yang!
The only one who protects the last face of the Han Dynasty for this world and to be a son today is Yang!
Is it bitter or not?!
Is it difficult?!
But why can’t the world understand Yang’s suffering?
Yang Biao and Yang Xiu thought the most difficult thing was to rebuild a Luoyang city, but he did not expect that it would be difficult to repair the physical wall, but it would be even more difficult to repair the city wall in the hearts of the people. Moreover, the key is that Yang could not find the loopholes!
"If I don't send military salaries this month, I will stop doing this place of Heluo Bird! Even if I go to Chang'an to work hard labor, it is happier than being under the command of Yang Family!"
"I don't know what's wrong with this world?"
"What else can you do if you have been a big soldier for your whole life? Don't think about those things, those things, the master in the court thinks, what's the point of thinking about you, a guy who doesn't have three taels of copper on his waist?"
"But those court masters don't want it! Or those guys have always thought differently from us!"
"Don't...don't fucking nonsense, hey, it's time to go for business!"
The Yang soldiers, sitting or lying in the grass, suddenly became energetic, and they stretched their necks out of the grass, like groundhogs from the depths of the cave. They immediately saw a caravan crossing the river on the mudflat not far away.
"Hey! There are really people who are blindly looking to this path!"
The Yang soldiers were immediately overjoyed, afraid that the group of people would escape back, so they quickly shrank their necks back one by one, just aiming in the cracks of the grass, and endured that the group of people had crossed the river, so they jumped up and rushed directly to the simple ferry, blocking the group of merchants on the river bank.
The leader in the caravan obviously seemed to have some experience, and stopped several obviously guards from acting aggressively, and handed over a bag of coins with a chuckling.
The Yang soldier captain threw his money bag up and down, but his eyes were not on the money bag, but stared at the goods in the caravan desperately, and his greed expression could not be concealed.
This is a big fish!
It's hard to meet a big fish once!
I originally thought that most caravans of this size would go to the steadfast ferry of Mengjin, but I didn’t expect to leave here!
This means that the goods in front of you cannot see the light!
The captain of Yang didn't care about smuggling or whether he had any tax payments. He just wanted to make a fortune. When he saw this, how could he let them go easily?
If you can give such a bag of money as soon as you meet, you can give you two more bags and three more bags!
As if he noticed the greed of the captain of the Yang family, the caravan leader said coldly: "The following is the Li family in Hanoi, and he also has some friendship with the Yang family in Guishao..."
The captain of Yang's family was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you recognize my noble family?"
The caravan leader nodded, "Natural."
The captain of Yang pointed at himself again, "Then do you recognize me?"
This time it was the caravan leader's turn to be stunned, "This... I don't recognize it."
"Ah haha, then you can't say anything!" The captain of Yang's hand waved, "Check it out for me! See if there are all hidden things!"
The Yang soldiers responded with a loud noise, and then stepped forward and immediately tore up the goods. Soon they discovered that the goods transported in the caravan were actually tied weapons!
weapon!
Smuggling weapons!
Haha! This is very valuable!
But the next moment, the excited captain Yang felt something was wrong...
Because normally, the weapons of the Sanfu Chang'an were smuggled out, and there were few people who smuggled weapons in Chang'an, unless it was...
Unfortunately, it's too late.
When they pulled the hidden weapons from the goods to the ground, or were a little happy or a little dull, the Cao army soldiers who were pretending to be honest merchants suddenly showed their cruel side. The "caravan leader" in the lead took out a knife, separated the scabbard that the captain of Yang hurriedly smashed, and then stabbed it into his chest and abdomen, stirring it fiercely for two rounds, "I'll give you money! Don't want it! Tell you not!!"
These Yang soldiers who had not trained much on weekdays had weak legs and numb hands when they saw blood. They were not the opponents of these Cao army soldiers who pretended to be merchants. They were quickly killed. The farthest one was just two or three hundred steps away, and the head was cut off by Cao army who was catching up.
"What should I do if these corpses are thrown into the river?"
The soldiers of Cao's army were cleaning the battlefield asked.
"You are stupid, throwing them into the river, aren't you just telling the people downstream that something happened upstream?" Cao's commander said, "Go to the side, find an open space, dig a hole and buried it! He is so unlucky! There were no one when he left last time, but this time he hit the evil! Move faster! Pack up the scattered things!"
Several blood-stained Cao's soldiers squatted on the ground and wiped their hands with sand.
"Captain, I heard that Chang'an has paid a lot of military salaries..."
"Much..." Captain Cao Jun sneered, "That's going to have to be a life-saving person! I know that your family has no worries... But think about it yourself, even if you vote, you can trust you? I will give you money without saying a word and let you spend it? If you change this good thing, would you do it?"
The soldier who was wiping blood shook his head and laughed, "I just said that..."
"It's okay to say it occasionally, but you can't do it casually..." Captain Cao Jun said, "If the school clerk really knows...
The three words "Schoolman" exited, and the temperature around it seemed to drop a lot in an instant, and even the movements became stiff.
『Work, work...』
Everyone was no longer interested in chatting, and they were left to lower their heads to work.
…(/_\)…
In Luoyang City, the Yang family, one old and one young, sat in the hall.
In the high hall, the Sizhi Plaque was quietly watching the two people.
Yang Zhen was famous for a while, but only for a while, and the rest could only be maintained by future generations. Those who can continue to add luster and color can naturally be passed on from generation to generation. Once the gap between them is too big like Wei Duan and Wei Kang, and the decline of the family will be in a short time. Now, Yang is already standing on the edge of the cliff.
There are soldiers, but they are almost the same as none.
Will, has, is also slightly equal to none.
The Yang family has land and assets, cities and villages, population and food, but compared with the two surrounding behemoths, it is very pitiful.
There is no way, if you choose the wrong path, it may affect it not for a moment, but for a lifetime.
At the beginning, Yang Biao, as a Hongnong man, could be considered inside the pass or outside the pass. Then Yang Biao felt that the power outside the pass was greater, so he first got along with everyone, and then he completely turned outside the pass and sold the northern part of Guanzhong in Longyou without regard for how Guanzhong would end after the chaos in the Western Qiang Dynasty.
Therefore, the people in northern Guanzhong naturally would not regard Yang Biao as respect, and the Shandong people who were guarding their ceremonials also did not give Yang Biao any good face. When Shandong people faced threats, they did not regard Yang Biao as part of them, but kicked him out of the game table.
Then Yang Biao chose to use the emperor's name again. His previous fame wanted to make a fortune, but unfortunately, he made a mistake in his choice and had to retire. It was equivalent to the later warlords who stepped down in the early stages of the warlords' melee. He saved some face and could still be an apartment in Tianjin. However, in the late warlords, there was not so much attention...
Therefore, it is not unwise for Yang Biao to retreat first to avoid the end of the two Yuans. It is considered a chaotic start, but the ending is too low, not the worst.
But his son missed the right direction perfectly in the subsequent choice...
But from Yang Xiu's standpoint, he felt that his choice was not wrong.
How could there be any mistakes?
If you do it again, he must have chosen this way.
The world of the Han Dynasty, the emperor is naturally the first to be the emperor. Then the emperor is not all officials, but two capitals. The officials are replaced every year. Yesterday was still the three ministers, but today, they may have stepped down from the stage to take the blame because the sun is too big or too small. There are only two in Kyoto. Strictly speaking, there are only one, that is Luoyang.
Chang'an was not very good when Fei Qian took over. Then it was ruined again during the Dong Zhuo period, and was destroyed by Li and Guo again. Standing in the gentry family at that time, no one with some common sense would think that Chang'an would have much climate.
If you want no one, you have no scholar, you have no products, you have no products, you have no development, you may not be able to develop it in ten years!
Whether in Yang Xiu's eyes or in the feeling of Shandong gentry, Fei Qian was actually Dong Zhuo's third generation, Li Guo's revival, and had no future. So from the visual perspective at that time, was there any mistake in Shandong gentry and Yang Xiu's choice?
To be continued...
