Chapter 405: Good future, follow the dragons merits
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is just an excuse for no reason. If there are enough benefits, then your leader may be no different from ordinary people. After all, there have been many such people since the late Han Dynasty, but none of them have
People can succeed,
If you are forced to go against nature, you will definitely end up like Zhang Jiao, but if you become as wise as Zhang Lu, you will be a high-ranking official and well-paid, and you will also have a good future."
The messenger said sincerely: "What the Prime Minister said is that when I go back, I will definitely persuade the leader to think about it carefully." In his heart, he still hopes that the leader can start things on his own in the future, so that he will get more. This is not a half-way.
Investing in services that are unparalleled by other forces, with high risks and high returns, is the merit of Conglong!
Cao Shuang recalled some past events in another time and space. Ambitions like Zhang Zhaocheng used religious beliefs to initiate many uprisings, but they rarely succeeded.
According to another time and space trajectory, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun En's uncle Sun Tai from Langya became the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect and organized a large group of believers in Jiangnan.
However, later, the matter was not kept secret, and Sun Tai was executed. His nephew Sun En took over Sun Tai's position and continued to lead the congregation to revolt.
It happened that Sima Yuanxian ordered the conscription of "free slaves as guests" from eight counties in Jiangdong for military service. This move aroused dissatisfaction among the Jiangnan nobles and was difficult to implement.
The tenants and serfs who were oppressed by the nobles started rebellions one after another. Such a good opportunity could not be missed, so Sun En led a large number of believers to preach in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He soon gained the recognition of the poor people and developed within a few months.
There are hundreds of thousands of believers.
Sun En then led the rebel army to attack Jiangdong, and soon captured most of the eight counties in Jiangdong. Even Xie Yan, the last talented person of the Xie family who was once famous for a while, died in Jiangdong.
Seeing that Sun En's army could not be contained, the imperial court at that time urgently mobilized the Beifu Army to go south to quell the rebellion. Through this counter-insurgency incident, Liu Laozhi and Liu Yu accumulated enough political capital, which played an important role in the subsequent changes in the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
.
After all, Sun En's army had not received much training, so it was naturally not as good as the extremely elite Beifu Army.
Liu Yu led a small number of troops to attack left and right in Jiangdong, as if they were in an uninhabited country.
Sun En was beaten several times and retreated to the Zhoushan Islands. However, due to his large number of believers, hundreds of thousands of people followed him every time, so he could not be defeated no matter what.
Sun En returned to the island three times to avoid the attacks of the Beifu army. However, the fourth time he led his army back to Jiangdong, he was severely defeated by the government troops. Sun En was exhausted and chose to commit suicide by diving.
After Sun En's death, the remaining troops, led by his brother-in-law Lu Xun, continued to circle outside the island. Taking advantage of the Huanxuan rebellion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then Liu Yu's destruction of Huanxuan, there was no time to take care of Lu Xun, and Lu Xun moved to Guangdong.
, captured Panyu,
Later, while Liu Yu went north to destroy Nan Yan, Lu Xun led the rebel army to go north and conquered Hunan and other places, all the way to the vicinity of Jiankang, forcing Liu Yu, who had just destroyed Nan Yan, to return in a hurry.
Lu Xun's army was not as good as Liu Yu's elite, and they soon failed. Lu Xun died in the water, and the rebellion of Sun En and Lu Xun, which had persisted for twelve years, was put down.
However, Lu Xun disrupted Liu Yu's march northward, which was also an important factor in Liu Yu's failure to unify the world.
The largest people's uprising under the banner of religion during the Northern Wei Dynasty was called the Faqing Uprising.
Buddhism was prevalent in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the political and economic status of the monks varied greatly. After Emperor Xiaowen came to the throne, the factional struggle within Buddhism became increasingly obvious as a social class struggle. The supreme ruler sometimes supported some monks from preaching and strictly prohibited others from preaching.
Monks gather to preach.
While some monks praised the Mingjun for his virtue, other monks openly destroyed temples, burned scriptures, and raised troops to rebel.
In the third year of Yanxing (473), the recluse Hui Yin rebelled. In the fifth year of Taihe (481), the recluse Faxiu held an event in Pingcheng, Kyoto. The participants included big bureaucrats and mostly civilians and slaves.
In the fourteenth year, Shaman Sima Huiyu claimed to be the Holy King and raised troops to conquer Pingyuan County.
In the third year of Yanchang (514), the ascetic Liu Sengshao raised troops in Youzhou and claimed to be the Dharma King of Jingju Kingdom.
These rebellions were often religious heresies and were brutally suppressed by the Northern Wei government. A year after Liu Senshao's failed uprising, a larger Mahayana uprising broke out.
In June of the fourth year of Yanchang, the monks Faqing and Huihui of Jizhou (now Ji County, Hebei Province), with the support of Bohai Li Guibo, led the villagers to raise troops in Fucheng, Wuyi County. Faqing regarded Guibo as the ten-dwelling Bodhisattva.
﹑Ping Mo Army Division, Ding Hanwang, named himself Mahayana.
The rebel army captured Fucheng, killed the county magistrate, defeated the state army in Zhuzaocheng (now Zaoqiang, Hebei Province), and killed Cui Boyu, the prefect of Leling. They returned to the north, surrounded Bohai (now Nanpibei, Hebei Province), and defeated the county city.
The rebel army grew rapidly and numbered more than 50,000. They spread rumors that "a new Buddha will be born to eliminate all demons", burned temples, burned scriptures and statues, and killed monks and nuns.
The soldiers in the state had no fighting spirit and were repeatedly defeated. In July, the Northern Wei Dynasty took Yuanyao as the governor of the Northern Dynasty and led an army of 100,000 to march eastward to Jizhou.
Xiao Baoyu, the governor of Jizhou, enlisted local tycoons Bohai Li Bi, Feng Longzhi, etc., together with Changle prefect Li Qian, to lead the state army to cooperate with Yuanyao's army to suppress the uprising.
At the same time, the Northern Wei Dynasty also sent Zhang Shijun, a wealthy man from Jizhou from Qinghe, to the battlefield, together with Bohai Fengjin, Gao Chuo and others to recruit surrender in front of the formation.
On September 14, the rebel army was defeated. Faqing, Huihui and more than a hundred of their leaders were arrested and martyred. Tens of thousands of the rebels were massacred.
The Northern Wei Dynasty also sent the cruel official Gu Kai to Jizhou to search and kill the remaining rebels. Li Guibo was captured and sacrificed at about this time, and there were many civilian victims.
The remaining Mahayana troops were forced to cross the Zhang River and enter Yingzhou. In the first month of the second year of Xiping (517), the rebels broke into the military city of Zhaodu (now Hejian, Hebei Province) and burned the state government office. However, they were finally suppressed.
The Mahayana uprising lasted for nearly two years. The troops reached the four counties of Wuyi, Bohai, Changle and Wuyuan in Ji and Ying prefectures. At its peak, the number of volunteers reached more than 50,000.
After the failure, in order to strengthen the rule of this area, the Northern Wei government ceded Leling County in Jizhou and Fuyang County in Yingzhou to create Cangzhou. At the same time, it provided relief and reduced military deployment in order to ease conflicts and prevent the recurrence of uprisings.
Chen Shuozhen, a heroine of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Zhejiang during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Chen Shuozhen was poor since she was a child. She suffered from the hardships of the world, depended on her sister for life, and suffered the cold eyes of society.
In addition, Jiangnan was far away from the central court at that time, and the local government was oppressive and harsh on the people. Therefore, Chen Shuozhen's life was even more difficult since he was a child. Later, he was adopted by his neighbors and had to work for others to make a living.
Jiangnan has been a tax-heavy land since ancient times. These taxes are heavy on the people. It is fine for rich families and can be supported by ordinary people, but for the poor, it becomes a kind of plunder.
Just a few years later, Chen Shuozhen got married, but lost her husband again. She experienced all the hardships in this world. Just in time for this year, a huge flood broke out in the town where Chen Shuozhen lived, and the people were wiped out.
receive.
However, the government was unkind and not only did not open warehouses to provide disaster relief, on the contrary, they still levied taxes according to the previous rules. The beautiful place south of the Yangtze River turned into a living hell where people had no means of livelihood, sold their children and sold their daughters, and starved to death everywhere.
Chen Shuozhen led the people who did not want to be oppressed and secretly opened the owner's granary to provide relief to the victims. However, they were accidentally discovered. After being captured, they were tortured half to death. The villagers were grateful for his kindness and organized people to rescue him.
He came out and was sent to the mountains to recuperate in order to avoid being pursued by the officers and soldiers.
In order to deceive others, Chen Shuozhen always presented herself as a Taoist nun. Over time, this identity gave Chen Shuozhen inspiration.
In order to avoid being pursued by the government, the villagers fabricated the lie that Chen Shuozhen had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. However, they did not expect that word would spread and Chen Shuozhen would become a true immortal.
Chen Shuozhen also went up the slope, saying that he met Taishang Laojun in the mountains and was accepted as a disciple. Then he used some low-end techniques to show his magic, thus gaining the trust of the feudal people at that time.
Over time, Chen Shuozhen became a real Taoist god in the local area, and then organized a massive peasant uprising. In early October 653, Chen Shuozhen announced the uprising and established the imperial court and official system in imitation of the Tang Dynasty.
