Li Xiang couldn't change this situation. He couldn't stop those people from mocking him casually. The only thing he could do was to escape from that place.
If you can't change others, then change yourself!
You can only bear these hardships silently. No one listens to his explanation. If you explain again, in everyone's eyes, you are the so-called Ba Di. This title seems to have been branded on them, the descendants of the Ba people.
He was always very angry about this.
We are all citizens of the Jin Dynasty, why do we still have to distinguish between high and low?
Moreover, the distinction between high and low is not based on status or title, but based on place of birth. What a shame!
After hearing Luo Shang's latest order to expel their refugees, the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time exploded instantly like a volcano erupting.
It was your court that moved us to Lueyang, not our Li family or us Ba people who wanted to go to that barren land.
Our Li family and even the Ba people who follow our Li family have been working hard and contributing to the court and guarding the court for so many years. Why did they end up in such a situation?
Being mocked by everyone as Badi?
After finally escaping to his homeland, he had to be forcibly evicted again?
We have just made great contributions to the court, we have just put down the rebellion of Zhao Min and others. Why can't all our hard work be rewarded with the perks of resettling in the land of Bashu?
Since your court is unkind, don't blame me, Li Xiang, for being unjust!
Even if we face many hardships and dangers, even if we have to escape death, I, Li Xiang, will never let our children return to Lueyang, and I will never let my children be mocked as Ba Di by the world again.
"Dang'er," he made up his mind at this time, and the worry on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of determination, "go and invite Yan Ling over. My father wants to discuss it with Yan Ling again."
"Junhou, we have six victories and Luohou has six defeats." Yan Shi talked in the camp to Li Xiang, Li Yang, the children of the Li family, and the leaders of the refugees who came after hearing the news.
In the past, he served as the Ling of Shanggui in Yongzhou, and he was very resourceful. The refugees from Li Xiang on down never called him by his name, but called him Yan Ling.
"We, the refugees, are living in Shu. We cannot survive unless we stay together to stay warm. However, the people of Shu are obsessed with peace and happiness. They are like a pile of scattered sand with no one to control them. This is the victory of the human heart! This is the first victory."
"The Marquis of Luo implemented the New Deal and offended the nobles in Shu. The civil and military forces of Yizhou and the Marquis of Luo were at odds with each other. Everyone knew about this. There was a proverb in Shu: "The refugees are okay, but the Marquis of Luo will kill me."
It’s obvious. This is the second victory.”
"Luo Hou was benevolent and unyielding, and his government was too lenient. The civil and military forces of Yizhou did not appreciate his virtues and allowed themselves to be left to their own devices. As a result, the politics and religion were neglected and the military equipment was insufficient. However, the kings and princes were decisive in dealing with affairs. We, the refugees, rested day and night, and in our spare time, we diligently increased our military preparations.
, this is the third victory.”
"Yizhou has suffered a new defeat. The so-called generals of the defeated army cannot be said to be brave, and the generals of the ruined country cannot survive. But we, the refugees, have taken advantage of the power of the new victory and have high morale. This is the fourth victory."
"The people in Yizhou just want us and other refugees to return home, and do not want to be enemies of us. Their hearts are not firm, their intentions are doubtful, and they have two sides, and they cannot agree on one thing. But we have no other choice but to fight to the death.
Road. If we are prepared to attack the opponent but are unprepared, this is the fifth victory."
"As for the sixth victory," Yan Shi pondered for a while, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and then slowly said: "Luohou was ordered by King Qi. Yan heard someone say that because King Hejian had
The first supporter was King Zhao Huangfulun. Although he later changed his mind, he was always afraid of this in his heart, fearing that King Qi and others would turn up his old score. It is said that King Qi and King CD had already begun discussions to let King Langya replace He.
The King of Jian was in charge of the military affairs of the three states of Yongliang and Qin in Chang'an. The King of Hejian was in such a difficult situation that even if I occupied Yizhou and even Liangzhou, he would not send all his troops to conquer us. His main focus would be on
On the Shangluo side, this is the sixth victory we can rely on."
After hearing Yan Shi's six victories and six defeats, everyone in the tent suddenly burst into laughter.
After Li Xiang laughed, he patted Yan Shi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Yan Ling is really the reincarnation of Zhang Zifang. The so-called strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away, this is what I mean. How can I, Li Xiang, be so talented as Yan Ling?"
What a blessing it is to help.”
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and we, the refugees from Yongqin and Qinzhous, have been able to live in Shu for such a long time thanks to your Majesty. Without your Majesty, I don't know how many families of the refugees like us would be separated from each other, and we would be sold as slaves of the Shu people.
He will starve to death on the roadside, and he will be bullied at will by the local tyrants in Shu." Yan Shi praised Li Xiangdao from the bottom of his heart: "The country is picturesque, and only the virtuous live here. The Junhou family are descendants of the Ba Kingdom royal family, so
In the Shang Dynasty, he made great achievements during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. In the Zhou Dynasty, when the Ba people were heading south, he went north alone to join Zhou Wu. In the Jin Dynasty, he worked hard in Lueyang for two lifetimes. In the case of refugees like us, even more
This is like reborn parents. With the virtue of a king, he is enough to become the lord of Shu."
"But the Jin Dynasty treated the refugees like me very well." Li Xiang said hesitantly: "We and the refugees left our hometowns. There was no imperial order to open warehouses for relief, and there was no imperial order to allow Liangzhou and Yizhou to accept us. I am afraid that we have already become
A pile of loess on the roadside. Besides, Elder Luohou, you treat me sincerely. I, Li Xiang, can't bear to betray the Jin Dynasty and betray Luohou like this."
"You don't need to worry about this. Yan has a way to solve your problem." Yan Shi slightly held his beard under his chin with his right hand and said with a smile.
"Yan Ling, tell me quickly."
"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the world was in chaos due to Wang Jie's reforms. The red eyebrows started in Yanzhou, and the green forest started in Jingzhou. Dou Rong saw that the world was in chaos, and because Hexi was far away from the border, he could avoid the war in the Central Plains, so he took the road to Hexi.
, the official worship was Zhang Ye's vassal state captain. After arriving in Hexi, Dou Rong made friends with the heroes of the five counties. In the end, the heroes of the five counties decided to nominate one person to rule the five counties in view of the lack of a master in the world. The subsequent development is known to everyone. Dou Rong later became the leader of the five counties.
The five counties took refuge with Emperor Guangwu of the Later Shang Dynasty, and together with Guangwu destroyed the Wei Xiao who dominated Liangzhou, the Dou family became rich and powerful, and eventually became extremely noble in the Later Shang Dynasty."
"The situation we and other refugees are facing now seems different from that of Dou Rong back then, but it is actually similar. Although the court is temporarily peaceful, from Yan's point of view, King Qi is just like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and will die at any time. With cd
The kings in Hejian are strong, and the Central Plains will face successive wars in the future. Yizhou is blocked by Guanshan, and although it is not enough to fight for hegemony, it is more than enough to protect ourselves. We can follow the story of Dou Rong in the past, recruit heroes from Shu, and jointly recommend the king as the prince.
Lord, to protect the land of Shu from the flames of war. In this way, the people of Shu will feel at ease and appreciate the virtues of the king."
In fact, there were still some things he wanted to say in Yan Shi's heart. He thought that in the late Shang Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, residents of various counties fled to other places without war in order to escape the war. The same was true in the late Shang Dynasty.
At that time, the imperial court did not force the refugees to return to their hometowns, and the various states and counties did not force repatriation. Why are we being repatriated today? Even from the Zhou Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, several prominent families, such as the Xun family, the Chen family, etc., did not
Have they all been refugees?
"Yes, dad." The burly young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes standing nearby said after hearing Yan Shi's words: "According to what Yan Ling said, we are not rebelling, but trying to stabilize Shu for the imperial court. When the time comes, the Central Plains
If the Holy Lord comes out again, we will be like Dou Rong in the story of Guangwu, so we will not lose our wealth and honor. He is the Marquis of Luo, just treat him well when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, we are following the story of Dou Rong and Liang Tong, and we are not going against the imperial court. The ruler is Dou Rong, and we and Yan Ling are Liang Tong and others." When the leaders of the refugees were told this by Yan Shi, they all seemed to be like
Once they found the reason to raise the army, everyone immediately joined in. At this time, everyone's face was no longer nervous, and some people even looked forward to the scene where Liang Tong would become rich and wealthy.
"Okay!" After Li Xiang pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "The Marquis of Luo has no virtue and is causing chaos in Shu. Thanks to everyone's recommendation, I, Li Xiang, will temporarily occupy the position of co-leader. If there is another talented person in the future, I, Li Xiang, will
I swear that I will never be greedy for this position. I will give up the position of co-leader to a talented person just like everyone elected me today. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by thunder from heaven!
"Okay!" Everyone felt even more relieved when they heard that Li Xiang had taken such an oath. So everyone clapped their hands in the camp and jointly recommended Li Xiangxing to be the general of the North and Li Yangxing to be the general of the west.
Historical records: In October of the fourth year of Yongtai, the refugees from the six counties elected Li Xiang as the leader and raised their troops to rebel against Mianzhu. Li Xiang first asked Yan Shi to bring generous gifts to bribe Chen Chen, the Sima of Yizhou, and asked for a grace period with humble words and generous gifts. Chen Chen
Confused by this plan, they were unprepared. The refugees made a surprise attack on Chen Chen's army at night. Chen Chen was defeated and killed. The refugees then attacked and plundered various counties, but Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, could not control it.
What, the refugees are making a banner to say that they follow the story of Liang Tong and Dou Rong as their leader?" In the Marquis House of Bodaoting, Zhou Xing was sitting on the sofa with a golden sword, and when he heard Du Chou talking about the news, he looked confused.
There is still such an operation in the heart?
Damn it, rebellion is rebellion. It's better to say it than to sing it. It really opened my eyes.
"Liang Tong was worshiped as the prefect of Jiuquan by the Gengshi court, while Dou Rongcai was worshiped as the captain of the Zhangye state. In terms of official position, Dou Rong was not as dignified as the prefect of a county. In terms of reputation, Liang Tong also had an excellent reputation. Originally, everyone just started
The elected co-leader was Liang Tong instead of Dou Rong, but Liang Tong resolutely backed down, saying that his talents and character were not suitable for being the leader of the five counties, and gave up the position to Dou Rong." Du Chou was obviously not satisfied with this paragraph.
I am very familiar with the history, so I explained it to Zhou Xing in detail.
"Joined recommendation? Sure!" In Zhou Xing's impression, at least in the ancient history of the world he had seen, except for modern times, people always spoke with their fists big, so he naturally did not believe this nonsense.
What recommendation?
What abdication?
It's all fucking lies. Aren't the swords the brightest and the fists the loudest?
Under Du Chou's explanation, he understood that the position of captain of a vassal country was equivalent to the military attachés dispatched by colonial countries in vassal countries in modern times in his world.
You are the commander of the army, what do you think, Commander Liang?
Besides, when no one could see the situation clearly back then, the so-called co-owner of the five counties in Hexi was somewhat responsible for taking the blame. Dou Rong succeeded later. If he was like Wei Xiao, he would not be dead in name.
It's destroyed.
"So, that Liang Tong can be regarded as a noble person?" Although he thought so in his heart, he said so in his mouth.
"Yes, Liang Tong later entered the business world and was a famous official. The Liang family was a member of the later business world and was rich for generations." When Du Chou talked about this, he couldn't help but yearn for it.
"But according to what you said, Mr. Du, the Gengshi imperial court had already been destroyed by Red Eyebrows, and only Dou Rong, Liang Tong and others did this. Now that the Jin Dynasty in Shangluo is still running smoothly, do these refugees dare to do this?"
"There are masters among the refugees." Du Chou shook his head slightly and said: "Although the Jin Dynasty seems to be calm now, secretly it is turbulent. The refugees have raised this banner, first, to convey it to the court and even other states.
The message is that we don't want to rebel, we just want to live in Shu. With the current situation of the court, we will definitely not come up with the best response immediately. This is the time difference that the refugees want to achieve. As long as
The imperial court failed to send troops into Shu at the first time, so the refugees could completely capture Jiange Pass. With the natural danger of Jiange Pass, no matter how many foreign troops there are, they will not be afraid."
"But so many Shu people are living on dry food? It can be said that Chen Chen's defeat was caused by a sneak attack. How could Xin Ran and others be defeated so simply?" Zhou Xing and Du Chou had already received news that the refugees were there.
After defeating Chen Chen, he marched into Guanghan and defeated the army assembled by Xin Ran, the prefect of Guanghan. Guanghan County had almost completely fallen into the hands of the refugees.
"This involves the military restructuring during the Taikang period." Du Chou sighed inexplicably, thinking that his lord was really ignorant and incompetent. "After Emperor Wu pacified Wudi and unified the world, he thought that the Jin Dynasty
After adopting extensive enfeoffment, people would be in good health forever, so they ordered the withdrawal of county soldiers. Before that, each county had its own arsenal and would maintain a certain military strength all year round. Not only that, every year during the slack season, the county guards would let
Bing Cao led the adult men in the county to conduct military training. The sage said: If you don't teach the people to fight, you are abandoning the people. Emperor Wu's order was opposed by many people, but Emperor Wu still insisted on going his own way. Since the sixth year of Taikang,
There is only the state army, not the county army, and there will be no military training in the county. In Du's view, if it were not for Emperor Wu's restructuring, how could Qi Wannian have made such a big splash in the Yong and Qin states?
.The same is true for the refugees here now. Yizhou was newly affected by Zhao Min's rebellion, and the state army has never recovered. And the monks and civilians in various counties and counties have not received systematic military training for many years. In this way, in a hurry, a war is naturally
It will collapse."
After hearing Du Chou's explanation, Zhou Xing fell silent again.
As a person from that world, he understood the approach of Emperor Wu of Jin very well. In the long history of his world, it was politically correct to seize self-military power from counties, counties, states, and later provinces.
As Du Chou said, if a locality has its own army, it can naturally maintain its own order and stability. But isn't this the vassalization that was criticized by many people in his world history?
But before he had time to think about it, he heard Du Chou say again: "His Majesty Shijun has been defeated in battles one after another and has ordered all men in the state to be recruited for military service. At least one man from each household must be sent out. What do you think, my lord?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's brows furrowed even more.
In his own mind, his first reaction is naturally that when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible.
