While the north is still looking forward to the early arrival of spring in the midst of severe cold, the south, especially in the Sichuan Basin, is already seeing a scene of everything reviving, with bits of green shyly hiding in the landscape of grey, black and yellow. The slow-flowing river also brings the desire of those who are far away from their homeland to return home and the greetings to friends in their hometown... Dingdian Novel,
Farmers are beginning to prepare for the upcoming new year.
Of course, in addition to preparing for a good harvest in the new year, the villagers also have to do another important thing at the same time, which is to go to the fields, mountains, forests and rivers to find the reappearance of various species. Plant plants and animals, and then use these things to ensure that your family can survive the lean times in the future.
Nature is undoubtedly generous. She always gives generous gifts to humans, the highest creation of nature, so that people can get a lot of delicious and nutritious food from her as long as they are diligent.
However, such a gift does not make the villagers who are looking for it feel much happy. This is not because the villagers do not know how to be grateful. In fact, these people have been constantly thanking nature for giving them these things that allow them to live. Food. Just thinking about the situation at home and the situation of the nearby villagers, the sad expressions on their faces can hardly be healed.
Returning home with fresh ingredients, these older or younger men will receive the care of their wives and the cheers of children. The older children will help their father and mother process the ingredients that will be eaten soon. For those ingredients that can be stored for a long time, they must be processed as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only will the taste of the processed ingredients be affected, but also the ingredients may be contaminated with bad things, causing food poisoning. .
Perhaps for a being like Li Shushi, such a poisoning incident can be solved by just finding a dancer at home to have sex... Well, it can be solved with an awakening spell. At most, a few reasonable meals can be used to recuperate. Able to become alive and kicking again. Even for Li Shushi, a self-healing spell is simpler and more convenient than any spell. But the effect is outstanding. It not only removes poison and heals injuries, but also strengthens the body. It is simply foul. Is there any!
But for ordinary people, if this kind of thing is not treated in time, it often means the loss of a life. And if there is a problem with the backbone of the family, it means the collapse of a family.
Therefore, when it comes to handling ingredients, adults and children who are familiar with all this will be cautious and will not be lazy at all.
When handling the ingredients, these villagers may talk to their mothers-in-law about how to budget carefully for these ingredients, how long they can last with careful budget, what is the situation this year, and whether the seeds left last year are safe. .
Of course, the most important topic is always how many officials under various banners will come to collect taxes this year, and whether there will be rebels going deep into this small village close to the mountains and forests. Let this relatively peaceful place Falling into great panic.
Begging God for peace and hoping that the coming year will give them a little bit of hope.
Unfortunately, it seems extremely difficult to realize even this small, humble wish. In fact, the main topic today is the rumor that a village a hundred miles away to the east was destroyed by rebels more than ten days ago.
.
There is not much difference between that village and theirs. The land in the Chengdu Plain is very fertile. Although it cannot be compared with places with Dujiangyan irrigation, as long as you are careful, you can usually get a good harvest. It is not like those concentrated
Planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and weaving the richness of Sichuan brocade like clouds and mist.
Compared with ordinary households, they can only occasionally get some modest mulberry leaves from mulberry trees on the mountains, and then raise dozens or hundreds of silkworm babies. This is barely a source of funds to buy new year's goods every year, but unfortunately it is often not available due to various reasons.
With this amount of money, it's just a source of purchasing some "luxury goods", so I won't be too depressed.
However, such a simple and uncontroversial village was looted by a group of defeated soldiers. If the fire that destroyed the village had not attracted the attention of nearby officers and soldiers, perhaps their village hundreds of miles away would not have encountered a similar situation.
of poisonous hands.
"Hey, it's getting more and more chaotic these days, and it really doesn't leave a way for us people to survive."
"I said, Dad, why are these people always fighting? In the early years, the Taoist priests of Taiping Road were very kind and polite. Not only did they cure my mother's illness, but they also only asked her during the holidays.
If you go and do a favor, you can get a dozen
A few bucks, or a few cakes, and you can get a full meal or two when you help. They are really a group of good people. But the officials say these people are traitors and want to exterminate and suppress them. How can they say that these people are good people in the world?
Aren’t you going to live long?”
"Who says it's not the case? Those Taiping Taoists also taught me how to write my own name and how to use a knife. If it weren't for these two things, how could your father marry you to me?
Woolen cloth."
"Yes, my father said back then that you were a capable person, and I would always have something to eat by following you."
"I guess these years are so chaotic because people from the government are killing good people indiscriminately. That evil thief named Jia Long killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to get ahead. In good places, so many people died because of him
Later, he even rode on me
However, the result was that Liu Zhoumu had his head chopped off and hung on the city gate. I heard that many people came to Luocheng specifically to curse him and curse him under the city gate.
He, a bastard who killed good people indiscriminately, deserves to die!"
"So Liu Zhoumu, who punished the evil thief, is a good man."
"Yes, Liu Zhoumu is really a good man. At least our life was quite peaceful when he was under his rule. Our children were born safely, and our family also had a little savings. Although it was not much, our days were always on track.
Looking forward to it.”
"Who says it isn't? It's a pity that good people don't live long, but evil people live a long life, which has caused us to suffer so much."
"And those bad guys are very good at pretending. When Liu Zhoumu was alive, although those 'Dongzhou soldiers' were refugees from other places, they still respected us locals and helped us eliminate many bandits.
The robbers resisted the West
The fierce Di people killed many powerful people who usually caused harm to us. Although some of them were unjust. But without them in those peaceful days, neither Liu Zhoumu nor we would have been able to live in peace. I heard that many bad guys were very
Oppose Liu Zhoumu.
But who would have thought that as soon as Liu Zhoumu died, these people would change their attitude. Not only did they become angry, but they also kept plundering our food rations, and various petty officials who urged us to pay taxes also kept appearing. Fortunately, we had accumulated a little bit of family wealth.
, otherwise how could it be possible to support it until now. But what's the use of it, maybe one day the last bit of food in the house will be taken away by those petty officials.
And that's it, you can still live your life if you endure it. But somehow, those 'Dongzhou soldiers' and those powerful families turned against each other. As a result, no matter how long the fight lasted, it still didn't stop. There were many consequences.
The village was stretched
Ding, and the villages that have strong young people will be massacred by the insurgents from hostile forces. But if the young and strong people in the village are not allowed to join the army, they will be slaughtered by the forces that want to recruit young people. I don’t know how many villages will be left after this battle.
Disappeared. How many villages became widow villages.
Moreover, when the war broke out, there were more and more petty officials collecting taxes, and their attitudes became more arrogant. There were also rioters and bandits who appeared from nowhere, and even if they were not careful, the whole village would be massacred.
The result of destruction will be really unbearable for people."
"Dad, you said that all the villages so close to us have been affected by rice seedlings. Can our village be spared?"
"I can't explain clearly. If it really doesn't work, I can only hide in the mountains with the things I need to survive. Maybe I can escape."
"But I heard that the Di people in the mountains have recently begun to come out to attack the villages at the foot of the mountains. The people in the villages were either killed or taken into the mountains. The villages were also burned to the ground. I'm afraid the mountains are not peaceful either."
"Without those 'Dongzhou soldiers' and those county soldiers, those barbarians have also appeared. It really doesn't give people a way to survive!"
He let out a sad sigh, but the action of handling the ingredients in his hands did not stop. Even if the current situation is very embarrassing, no matter how the situation develops, food is the most important material to maintain the life of a family, unless this family will be affected next time.
Die for a moment, otherwise they will prepare these ingredients and become supplies they will carry wherever they go in the future.
However, even if they have the intention of leaving their hometown, where can they escape to despite the vast world.
Not long after Liu Yan's death, the entire Yizhou was in chaos.
Among them, the most important conflict occurred between Liu Yan's cronies, the "Dongzhou Soldiers" and the powerful local families.
The former is mainly composed of Liu Yan's general family member Pang Xi, his in-law Wu Yi, the famous scholar Xu Jing and others, while the latter is mainly composed of people who followed Liu Yan to Sichuan from other places, but in fact they were natives of central Sichuan and had served in the reign of Emperor Ling.
Zhao Wei, a Ba man who served in the Taicang Order.
Of course, beneath this, there are all kinds of leftists, rightists, and centrists, large and small, and the relationships between them are intricate.
If we include Zhang Lu, who has a deep hatred between the north and Liu Zhang, it can be said that the relationship between the entire central and northern Yizhou has become a mess, but Liu Yan's successor Liu Zhang is still a "good" general.
With such a master making the porridge even worse, it is not surprising that Yizhou has been experiencing wars for the past two years.
In fact, it’s not like Liu Zhang didn’t make some efforts.
For example, he probably followed the political will of his father Liu Yan to win over the powerful local forces in Yizhou, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, who had military power. The former was the main force in the garrison and had a respected status, while the latter was Liu Zhang.
Another piece of cake thrown out.
In addition to Hanzhong, the central and northern areas of Yizhou are the two kingdoms of Cuba and Shu - these are not the small country of Yelang. They are really two big countries with vast territory. In addition to the population, it may not be as large as that of the Central Plains, but that is also insufficient.
Because of development. Just like now
In terms of area, the Chongqing Municipality is basically equivalent to the Austrian Republic of the descendants of Shinra Habsburg. If the GDP is deducted for monetary reasons, it is actually not much different. In terms of population, the Great China is naturally one of the few rivals in the world... cough
Ahem, a little far away.
The counties formed by such two huge countries are naturally also huge in area, so the Shu County among them was later divided into two during the Western Han Dynasty, and Guanghan County was added. The Ba County was probably because there were more mountains and forests and it was hidden in the mountains.
There are also many barbarian tribes in the mountains, so it is still very complete - for the entire Han Empire
It is said that even such a huge Bajun would not pose much of a threat. But for a mere Yizhou, it was indeed a bit too huge. Because Liu Yan had too many things to do, he did not spare the time to take care of this matter, so he sent Bajun to Bajun.
The task of splitting the county into eight pieces fell into the hands of Liu Zhang - well, that is a bit exaggerated.
Liu Zhang was also very happy to do this. He split the originally huge Ba County into Yongning, Guling, and Ba County plus a Shu Kingdom. Later, for unknown reasons, he divided the two counties of Yongning and Guling.
The names were changed to Pasir County and Badong County, and the subject country was determined to be Badong County.
We don’t know the reason why Liu Zhang changed his name. After all, looking at the location of Badong, Brazil, and Bajun on the map, it makes people smile. But in any case, the original one county became three counties plus one vassal state, and each
One official position immediately changed to four. This is simply a business without capital! It can be said that if Ling Emperor Liu Hong knew about this, he would definitely faint in the toilet.
Obviously, Liu Hong has not yet perfected his business skills and missed a good opportunity to increase his income.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Zhang handed over the new Bajun to Yan Yan - although the position was greatly reduced, it was still a position of two thousand dan.
As for Brazil, the important place that needed to face Hanzhong directly, it was handed over to Pang Xi, the leader of the Dongzhou soldiers who was related to his family.
With such a twist, two good positions were freed up to appease and win over the two heavyweights. Liu Zhang's move is quite commendable.
It is a pity that Liu Zhang could only inherit so much of Liu Zhang's ability or the political wisdom left by Liu Yan. Liu Zhang's subsequent actions not only failed to settle the interests of all parties, but also made all parties suffer.
Very satisfied.
Since we can't count on Liu Zhang, the new leader recommended by all the forces in Yizhou, we might as well go into battle and get it ourselves.
As a result, after many years of hard work by Liu Yan, the land of Yizhou finally entered a relatively stable period. Not long after, it fell into a new round of war, and because this time the situation was so complicated that the progress of the war became extremely complicated.
of confusion.
In the battle between Zhang Lu in the north and Pang Xi, the governor of Brazil County, although Zhang Lu always seemed to win more, he could not take advantage of Pang Xi. In the past two years, the entire Brazil County seemed to be full of civil strife.
Foreign enemies pressed hard, but they were still firmly in Pang Xi's hands, and the people from Hanchang County became the strongest guarantee for Brazil County to resist the attack from Hanzhong.
Although Brazil seemed to have no worries for the time being, Pang Xi, the boss of the Dongzhou soldiers, couldn't care about other things for a while because of Zhang Lu, so he lost the pressure of him, the general manager of the Dongzhou soldiers. The performance of the Dongzhou soldiers was naturally
Increasingly arrogant.
After all, in the eyes of the Dongzhou soldiers and the Dongzhou scholars behind them, although they were refugees from Sanfu and Nanyang and outsiders, they could not deny that they were direct descendants of Liu Yan, loyal to Liu Yan and helped Liu Yan defeat Liu Yan.
He defeated Jia Long, the leader of the local faction, so that Liu Yan could legitimately become the Tu Emperor of Yizhou. This can be regarded as the merit of Cong Long.
And when Liu Zhang, Liu Yan's son, succeeded to the throne, they should naturally become the force Liu Zhang relied on.
Is it wrong to think so?
If you look at it from the perspective of Dongzhou soldiers, it is absolutely correct, but Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son obviously don't think so.
As an outsider, Liu Yan faced the powerful and closed-off aristocratic families in Yizhou at the beginning. Naturally, he needed the help of outsiders to suppress him, so that he could successfully consolidate his power. The murder of Jia Long was even more motivated by this idea.
The ultimate expression.
But when Liu Yan has firmly controlled Yizhou and the Dongzhou soldiers have begun to take root in Yizhou, it is obviously not a smart idea to fully support the Dongzhou soldiers in attacking the Yizhou natives, because the Dongzhou soldiers are also localized in Yizhou.
So the result of supporting the Dongzhou soldiers is obviously that they will become a new Yizhou indigenous force, and they will be even more powerful.
Originally, it would have been easier to leave this matter to the hero Liu Yan. He had enough prestige to suppress the Dongzhou soldiers, and the interests suffered a certain loss in time. However, compared with what Liu Yan gave them originally, it was obviously just
A very small part.
Unfortunately, Liu Yan passed away without being able to accomplish this goal.
Liu Zhang who succeeded to the throne was not only unable to compare with his father Liu Yan in terms of prestige, but most importantly, when Liu Zhang began to follow his father's established policy to balance Dongzhou soldiers and Yizhou local forces, he was shocked to find that he
He doesn't have as much room to display as his father.
This is actually very simple when using an example of an ordinary family: the head of the family controls the financial power of the family when he is alive. Naturally, he can give some additional "rewards" to his favorite children and grandchildren, which is considered a "gift" in the law.
Then when the old head of the family dies, because the ownership rights of these things donated by the old head of the family have already been owned by the recipient, it is impossible to enter into the inheritance of the old head of the family to be divided and distributed to other people who are not originally less worthy.
Beloved child.
If you do this forcefully, not only will you not get support from the legal authorities, but the public security authorities will also come to you for coffee.
Of course, the division of political interests obviously cannot be as clear and simple as ordinary people. But for Dongzhou soldiers, those interests that have been included in their sphere of influence have been regarded by them as Liu Yan's death.
own private property.
Now that Liu Zhang is carrying out "reforms" and engaging in balanced politics, he naturally wants to extend his hands to these benefits that were originally given to them.
After all, Yizhou is only so big, and the cake is only so big. It cannot increase out of thin air. If you want to give more to anyone, someone will naturally suffer.
Therefore, in the eyes of Dongzhou soldiers, Liu Zhang became the bastard prodigal who robbed the property given to them by the old family master and forcibly redistributed the inheritance. In addition, the psychological gap caused by the status issue mentioned before was not satisfied. Now there is no
Pang Xi
The pressure from the boss of the Dongzhou Army, or Pang Xi, is very likely to deliberately turn a blind eye to the situation in Chengdu. After all, this political speculator still has a very good vision, and naturally he will not be willing to take this trip again when he has already received enough benefits.
Muddy water.
Therefore, among the Dongzhou soldiers, except for a few people such as Wu Yi, who was related to Liu Zhang by marriage, and his cousin Fei Guan, whose interests would definitely not be damaged but would increase, the rest of the Dongzhou soldiers were killed after Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne.
It didn't take long for a rebellion to start, and the fight with Yizhou's local forces such as Zhao Wei, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others finally reached the battlefield.
In ancient times, the two counties of Shu fought like a pot of porridge. And Badi in the east was not much better.
If Brazil seems to have too much to take care of because of the pressure from Hanzhong in the north, Pang Xi is still smart enough to make its position in Brazil as stable as Mount Tai. Badong needs to guard against the increasing pressure from Jingzhou Liu Biao and has no intention of fighting.
, then it is naturally impossible for Bajun, another important area on the land of Sanba, to become a pure land on earth in such an environment.
However, unlike in Shu County where the Dongzhou soldiers fired at the Yizhou native faction, in Bajun it was the Bajun native faction who directly raised a counter-flag against Liu Zhang.
Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, who used Sichuan brocade to make sails for the luxurious people in Fuxiang, and would cut off the brocade sails and throw them away after sailing, were the main forces in this rebellion.
Under the pretext of annihilating the Dongzhou soldiers, they sent troops to attack Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, who was a representative of the Yizhou native faction. Of course, the rhetoric was that Yan Yan betrayed the Yizhou native faction and took refuge with Liu Zhang and the Dongzhou soldiers behind Liu Zhang.
.
Some people may wonder, are these three people with water in their heads and want their own people to beat their own people?
Actually it is not.
Although Gan Ning's place of birth says he is from Linjiang in Bajun, in fact his ancestors are from Nanyang. However, due to various reasons, he lived in Bajun and gradually became a powerful and powerful family in Bajun - from this we can see
It turns out that it is very possible that Gan Ning's ancestors should have served as officials in a certain county in Ba County.
It gradually took root in the local area and spread its branches. This is also one of the important reasons for the migration of Chinese surnames. Compared with the migration of refugees caused by wars and disasters, this kind of migration is easier to cultivate new famous families.
, allowing the migrating surnames to become powerful and powerful local families.
As for Shen Mi and Lou Fa, they are also inextricably linked with powerful families in Jingzhou. For example, Lou Fa is closely related to Lou Gui, a celebrity from Nanyang who calls himself Mengmei layman, and Shen Mi is also closely related.
in this way.
In this way, you will know why these people behave in such ridiculous ways. Of course, you will also be able to better understand why these guys would go to Liu Biao after the defeat and do well - although for Gan Ning
For such an unruly guy, a life of eating and drinking as well as raising pigs is really frustrating.
In addition, after this battle, Liu Zhang immediately used the rebels to avoid Jingzhou as an excuse to send Zhao Wei, the leader of the Yizhou native faction and who helped Liu Yan consolidate the foundation of Yizhou Mu rule, to Badong and appointed him as the commander of the expedition.
General Dong Zhonglang ordered him to attack Liu Biao.
Well, Liu Zhang was quite courageous, and he even drove the leaders of the two major forces, the Dongzhou soldiers and the local faction, to the Sanba area in one fell swoop to become neighbors. However, it seems that Zhao Wei from Badong was obviously not as happy as Pang Xi from Brazil.
Not to mention that when the Dongzhou soldiers rebelled, they transferred the leaders of the Yizhou native faction from the central government. What this means is probably self-evident.
As a result, Zhao Wei was naturally very angry.
"If that doesn't work, let's see if we can escape to Xiliang."
"But daddy, I heard that Li Xue, who ruled Xiliang, killed people so much that he had to eat more than a dozen people a day to feel happy."
"Maybe it's true, maybe it's false. Anyway, it's what those bastards said. Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anymore. Not to mention that even if Li Xue really likes to eat people, at least compared to here, that
Xiliang is much calmer after all." (The novel "The Heroes of Little People" will
