The location of Guangping is very delicate, with Handan to the west, Yecheng to the southwest, and Qinghe to the southeast. The land is flat and vast, suitable for farming. As early as ancient times, people began to settle and cultivate acres of land. In ancient times, Fei Yao said
, "The emperor's virtues are wide and the people are smooth", so the two characters "Guang Ping" are chosen as the name to encourage those in power here to "widen their benevolence and wisdom, and level their political punishments".
It's just a pity that most wishes are just wishes.
Whether it was Han Fu in the early days, Yuan Shao later, or Cao Cao today, they could not bring anything to Guangping, such as "widening their benevolence and wisdom, and leveling their political punishments." On the contrary, for the Guangping gentry, a large agricultural household,
Just asking blindly without much "feedback".
Due to the impact of the drought, the manor owners and squires in Guangping were very miserable.
Unlike ordinary officials who eat from the public family, these manor owners rely on the land for their livelihood. In addition, Cao Cao allocated a lot of grain and grass in the early stage, so the smaller landlords did not have much surplus grain.
So the small landowners went to the big landowners, the big landowners went to the manor owners, and the manor owners gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
The owner of the manor in Guangyuan was named Ju, Ma and Wang.
Nowadays, the one with the biggest name is of course the one with the surname Ju, and the one with the most famous name is Ju.
The current situation of Guangping is a microcosm of Jizhou.
Yuzhou and Jizhou were the two most populous states in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
There is strength in numbers, but there are also problems with numbers.
Jizhou has a population of about 5.7 million, which is the largest state after Yuzhou with a population of 6 million. Moreover, Jizhou is more suitable for agriculture than Yuzhou because Jizhou has vast plains, so agriculture is very developed.
It is obviously very important in the main society.
A single production model and production structure. Quang Binh is this single economic system of large estates and tenant farmers.
In a stable environment with no need for external help, the manor economy is undoubtedly very happy.
The manors are all tenant farmers and slaves. The owner of the manor is the king of the land!
During the Han Dynasty, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but only to the county level at most. Therefore, these local manors were almost isolated from the entire society except for paying certain taxes. The development of science and technology and productivity almost stagnated, even if
It was a breakthrough, and it was just to meet the personal needs of the manor owner. The tenant farmers, slaves, and servants in the manor lived in hopeless pain, day after day, generation after generation.
For example, the Western manor plays with the right of first night, but with the development of the Chinese manor, it has long been stopped.
Because the Chinese manor owners despise those girls who are untouchables because they have thick hands and feet, rough skin and rude manners...
Therefore, the big landowners and large manor owners in China like to raise their own children, or purchase them from others for fun. This habit continued into the subsequent feudal dynasties. When a poor family gave birth to a beautiful child, it may not necessarily be a beautiful child.
The blessing it brings, well, it's beautiful, regardless of gender.
Because of the stability of agriculture, large landowners and large estate owners have the capital to do this.
Anyway, generations of untouchable serfs are like crops in the field, harvesting one crop after another.
And now...
The plagues, droughts, floods and insect disasters that lasted from the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty to the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, as well as man-made disasters such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the later Dong Zhuo Rebellion, caused a significant reduction in the population of Heluo, Yanzhou, Guanzhong and other areas in the original core area.
.
It is clear that a crisis is just around the corner, but the relatively closed and secluded manor system, similar to the landlord class in Guangping, Jizhou, has not been greatly affected.
This can be proved by the fact that after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he was overjoyed immediately after getting the household registration list of Jizhou. Classmate Lao Cao, who has always been calm, cautious, and secretive, could not restrain his inner joy, and blurted out that if he won Jizhou, he would be happy.
"You can get three hundred thousand" soldiers!
So this kind of statement that obviously meant cutting leeks was naturally taught a lesson by the Jizhou guy...
Of course, Cao Cao then admitted his mistake on the surface and apologized to the Jizhou guy with a smile. In fact, he taught the Jizhou guy a lesson right after.
The effect of force is mutual. Cao Cao slapped the Jizhou guy's ass hard. Don't blame the Jizhou guy for thinking about Lao Cao's anus.
In fact, speaking of it, Lao Cao's methods are quite good. Among them, the most critical threat to the Jizhou people is not to divert their human, material and financial resources, but to cut the lifeblood of the Jizhou people with a knife.
This sword is Cao Cao's farming system.
This was such a sharp blow that the Jizhou man withered immediately.
Cao Cao "learned" Fei Qian's farming strategy and established large-scale farming organizations on the lands of the nobles who had been killed or driven away before, or who had fled on their own initiative. They stationed soldiers and civilians and carried out large-scale farming. On the surface, it was indeed to solve the problem.
The problem of military food supply is basically poaching the manor economy of the Han gentry, so that these landowners can no longer continue to strangle Lao Cao with food and grass...
Cao Cao's general strategy is to use Yuzhou to suppress Jizhou first, and then wait until Jizhou is almost suppressed before using Jizhou to restrict Yuzhou. However, Cao Pi chose the Zhen family in Jizhou in history, which is undoubtedly worse than hanging around with the children of the gentry all day long or even being suppressed.
Cao Zhi, who was assimilated by the Yuzhou gentry, was more in line with Cao Cao's wishes...
It's just a pity that Cao Pi is just a mediocre person.
But no matter what, Jizhou is still a state with a very large population, and even until the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms, it still had a strong population support.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
When there are more people, some people will want to be rich and content, while others will be dissatisfied with their desires.
Some people want to change the world, and some people just want to fight for power.
It cannot be said that the gentry children have not considered how to deal with the ills caused by the Han Dynasty...
It cannot be said that all the children of the gentry are necessarily bad. On the contrary, because they live a carefree life and do not need to work, if these children of the gentry concentrate on learning, they can become great scholars and great Confucians. However, these scholars and great Confucians also cannot represent the rule of this big landowner.
Class is good.
The most important thing is to see who the ruling class serves.
Don't listen to how loud the slogan is, it depends on the actual effect.
The laws of a country must be fair and just on the surface, but in fact are the judgments consistent for the same incident? No distinction between superior and inferior, no distinction between high and low, no distinction between men and women, etc., legal punishments are all
Are they the same?
Just like the rice emperors of later generations engaged in Nanbang, they started to destroy the laws and justice of their country by engaging in female boxing, which made the people completely disappointed in the government's credibility. It also forced the Nanbang government to rely on the rice emperors to maintain its rule and was unable to obtain the Nanbang government.
Real support from the great people.
What kind of antagonism can be larger and more extensive than the antagonism between men and women, and can be more conducive to instigating the masses to fight against the masses?
This is obviously a clever move, specifically designed to restrain foolish men and women.
At the entrance of the Ju family's manor in Guangping, there are carriages and horses lined up.
Landlords such as the Ma family and Wang family gathered here to find a clever move to break the situation.
The Ma family and the Wang family in Guangping were obviously not as famous as the Ju family, so it was appropriate to gather at the Ju family.
These people instinctively sensed some approaching crisis, and they naturally hugged each other for warmth.
This kind of spontaneous change, or seeking change, actually appeared as early as Han Fu's time.
As early as when Han Fu served as the shepherd of Jizhou, Jizhou laos were already trying to make certain improvements, but they also showed the inherent shortcomings in the transformation problems faced by the children of the Eastern Han Dynasty gentry.
The process of the Jizhou nobles and the rulers falling in love and killing each other was actually caused by this problem.
From Han Fu to Yuan Shao, and then to Cao Cao, there were changes, but there were no complete changes.
Han Fu is a beginning.
Han Fu, most people think that this guy is just a loser, but in fact Han Fu once served as the Yushi Zhongcheng. This initially small official position, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, had replaced the Yushi doctor, and worked closely with the ministers and ministers.
It is also called "Santai". It is not difficult to see that the position of Yushi Zhongcheng is very offensive, and Han Fu, who is considered to be weak, actually has this experience, which also shows that Han Fu is by no means incompetent or weak.
disciples.
After Dong Zhuo came to power, in order to win over the Central Plains gentry, he selected several well-known courtiers and appointed them to local areas as state pastors, hoping to expand his influence. Because of this, Han Fu relied on his background and
Due to his reputation, he was able to take up the post of Jizhou Shepherd.
??????????.??????
Although Han Fu was a typical civil servant, he also knew how to rely on geographical advantages to develop. On the one hand, he recruited Qu Yi, who was known for his bravery. The latter grew up in Liangzhou and not only was well versed in the Qiang people's warfare, but also had a group of elites.
Soldiers. On the other hand, Han Fu chose to bring a large number of Yingchuan scholars to Jizhou and asked them to advise him. The ancients paid attention to regional feelings, so Han Fu's fellow countrymen Xun Zhan, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others came to Jizhou one after another.
The stage of Jizhou.
This also shows that Han Fu had a very clear understanding of the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty and took a proactive approach to deal with it. On the contrary, there was the world-famous Confucian Kong Rong. The latter did nothing when he became the prime minister of Beihai, singing and drinking all day long.
, without making any plans for the future.
But it was not Yuan Shao who made Han Fu fall in the end, but Yuan Shu...
Because among the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is recognized by Yuan Wei, and he is also the orthodox heir of the Yuan family recognized by the world.
When Han Fu faced Yuan Shao's aggressive posture, on the one hand, he placed his hope in Yuan Shu and wrote to Yuan Shu privately, asking Yuan Shu to deal with Yuan Shao. On the other hand, he tried to appease his general Qu Yi and let him work under his sect with peace of mind.
dog.
But obviously, both of Han Fu's legs were broken in the end...
Yuan Shao is an excess.
Yuan Shao saw Han Fu's mistake, so he activated the Jizhou people in an attempt to find a balance between the Jizhou people and the Yuzhou people. Obviously, he also failed.
When it came to Cao Cao's stage, the Jizhou guys discovered that Cao Cao and Han Fu were both virtuous. They said they were fair on the surface, but in fact they reused the Yingchuan gentry and adopted a suppressive policy against the local gentry in Jizhou. But the difference between Cao Cao and Han Fu is that
Cao Cao added farming and broke one of the Jizhou guys' legs. Then he chose Hanmen and broke the other leg of the Jizhou guys.
But it is a pity that the Jizhou guy is not a human being, but a centipede insect. Although it hurts to have two broken legs, he will not die. Even if he dies, he may not become stiff immediately.
Therefore, the "rebellion" of Jizhou guys is already doomed. This kind of "rebellion" is consistent with Han Fu's stage. It does not mean that it exists at the beginning, nor does it happen in an instant, but in a process
Dissatisfaction slowly builds up and eventually explodes.
The reason why Wei Yan was able to stir up turmoil in Jizhou was not because all the nobles in Jizhou were blind, deaf and stupid, but because there were some people who were waiting to see Mr. Cao's joke, and were even ready to add fuel to the flames. But this kind of "rebellion" was not
He completely fell out with Cao Cao, but wanted to use Wei Yan to undermine Cao Cao's suppression and earn more political benefits.
Therefore, Wei Yan's success is very similar to Taishi Ci's, that is, both of them subconsciously grasped the "rebellion" of top-level rulers and middle- and low-level local gentry...
This rebellion is evolving and expanding.
Just like in the Ju family hall, everyone ostensibly came to discuss fighting the drought, but in fact, during the discussion, they didn't say a few words about the drought at all, but naturally shifted to the world in front of them.
The situation, especially the fight between Fei and Cao.
Jushu died in Youzhou for no apparent reason, and Jushu's son Juhu inherited the family business.
This is indeed a heavy blow to the Ju family, but the Ju family is still very large.
Unlike elites from poor families like Tian Feng, the Ju family was a powerful family in Guangping, occupying a vast area and controlling a large population.
When Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, Jushu already had many private soldiers. Jushu was one of Yuan Shao's counselors and was awarded the title of general. He had military power and was ordered to "guard the generals", which gave him a transcendent status.
But good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and the Ju family is obviously hated for this...
After Jushou's death, Juhu remained silent for a long time.
Juhu does not have as strong wisdom and strategic insight as his father, and he is not that outstanding, and can even be considered a mediocre person. However, at the moment, Guangping needs a leader, so he was elected.
"The Chen family is also a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy. His grandfather Shi, father Ji, and uncle Chen are all famous. He returned to the prime minister in his early years, but under the prime minister, there was the Yingchuan Xun family..." The first person under Juhu said while stroking his beard.
, "Now his son is on a visit to invite the head of the family to fight against the bandits... He is not here for thieves, but to seek alliance."
A person on the right sneered, "Huh, Chen Changwen is easy to calculate! If we make an alliance with him, we can strengthen his momentum. Bandits are a trivial matter. Then we can fight against the Yingchuan Xun clan branch, cut the north and south, and step into the high hall."
!』
"This matter does not depend on Chen Changwen, but on Prime Minister Cao... How do you think this battle will be won?" Ju Hu asked.
The next person said: "It's probably not good."
Someone next to him said: "Before sending troops, Prime Minister Cao was very powerful... Now, haha, ahha, hehehe..."
"There is news from Yingchuan," someone said, "Cheng Zhongde went to Qingzhou... I must have guarded the place..."
Everyone was talking to each other, chattering in a lively manner.
Most of the time, it's not that these people didn't respond to some of Cao Cao's moves, but that they didn't dare to act rashly due to Cao Cao's previous momentum. Now that Cao Cao has begun to decline, the feeling of dealing with Han Fu and Yuan Shao back then is back.
Arriving in front of the Jizhou guy.
"The matter of Chen Changwen..."
After talking for a long time, I came back to the original question.
Do you want to cooperate with Chen Qun?
Juhu thought deeply for a moment and whispered, "There is a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period, "Uncle Yingkao is a pure filial piety. He loves his mother and gives to Duke Zhuang." All three Jiang family members were disappointed, and only Uncle Yingkao got his name.
...Therefore, the Jiang family cannot be favored, Zhuang Gong cannot be effective, and sharing Shu Duan is even more unacceptable... Now that the Ju family has lost its pillar, the only way to save it is to clear its name..."
Everyone listened, some agreed, and some did not completely agree, but they supported Juhu's idea of gaining "fame", so the basic strategy was determined. That is, to provoke a three-party fight, and then when necessary
When the time comes, step out to ease the relationship and be a gentleman who is "humble and peaceful, loyal and filial".
Juhu said: "Don't let this matter leak out and disturb people's hearts."
Everyone agreed.
Halfway through the conversation, someone hurried outside the hospital and presented a token, saying that an "old acquaintance" was visiting.
Juhu didn't know what was going on, but since he saw the token, he invited him.
After a while, two villagers came in supporting a man wearing a cloak and covering his head and face.
As soon as the man entered the hall, there was a strong smell of blood and herbs. He was obviously seriously injured. When he walked into the hall and lifted the hood on his head, Ju Hu was stunned for a moment.
Immediately he was shocked.
The visitor turned out to be Cui Hou!
"Brother Cui?!" Ju Hu stood up slowly, looking nervous, "Why...why do you look like this?"
Cui Hou turned pale and sighed dejectedly, "The hussars are full of tricks... I, Mr. Cui, have encountered a great disaster..."
"Hurry up and take a seat." Juhu greeted, "Come here, please bring some hot drinks!"
In the era of the Han Dynasty, not everyone who wanted to be a smuggler could become a smuggler. If ordinary people wanted to make a fortune, or wanted to risk their lives to change their future, they would not have a chance, and they would be beaten by various people along the way.
This gray-white-black force was thrown into the abyss of the mountain stream and turned into white bones.
Cui Hou took a few sips of the hot drink, took a breath, and gained a little more color on his face. Only then did he have the energy to talk about everything from Jinyang in Taiyuan to Fukouxing, from Xiahoudun to Yanrouhuangcheng.
.
Cui Jun was the one who received the most attention, and he couldn't run away even if he wanted to. But Cui Hou didn't keep a close eye on him, so Cui Hou found an opportunity halfway through and pretended to have fallen off a cliff. In fact, he didn't.
He hid in the secret cave where he was smuggled before, and then he escaped from danger and entered Jizhou to find his old trading partner.
"This..." Juhu pondered.
He didn't expect Cui Hou to come, which immediately disrupted all his original plans.
There are indeed business contacts and trade friendship between the Ju family and Cui Hou, but that does not mean that they will sacrifice their lives for Cui Hou...
Seeing Ju Hu's eyes flickering, Cui Hou knew it well. He couldn't help sighing, shaking out his trump card, and said: "There is another bad news, I'm afraid you don't know it yet... Xia Hou Yuanrang has been captured alive..."
…』
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
Some people even lost control and knocked over the desk in front of them.
The various cups and bowls placed on the table immediately became a complete tragedy.
