In addition to Chi You and Zhu Yuanzhang, Qin Zheng, Xiang Yu, Liu Bei and other princes have also begun to make preparations. Presumably, it won't be long before they will also implement the imperial examination.
Under the rule of these princes, the power of the aristocratic families was weak, and the pressure to implement the imperial examination was limited. Liu Bei's Qingzhou originally had strong aristocratic families, and the land of Qilu was also a prosperous and garrison place.
However, this place has been an area hit hard by rebellion against the king for a long time, and all the older aristocratic families have gone to join Lao Yuan next door.
In addition to these princes who wanted to implement the imperial examination system, of course there were also princes who were unwilling to implement the imperial examination system.
For example, the most typical two Yuan princes, these two princes themselves are representatives of the interests of the aristocratic families and are based on the influence of the aristocratic families. The influence of the aristocratic families is their foundation, and promoting the imperial examination is definitely harmful to them now.
After many princes promoted the imperial examination, these two people were favored by the powerful families. Those families who wanted to extinguish the flames of the imperial examination expressed their support for the two Yuan.
Of course, even the support was mainly given by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu did it in private, and it was not as strong as Yuan Shao.
After all, although Yuan Shu's pseudo-dynasty has been strong for several years, the Han Dynasty is still the mainstream after all. These aristocratic families are willing to give some support to Yuan Shu because of the tenacious vitality of the pseudo-dynasty to prevent Yuan Shu from becoming truly heroic one day.
After getting up, I allocated a small portion for investment.
If this had been the case when Yuan Shu had just proclaimed himself emperor, most aristocratic families would have been afraid to avoid him, let alone secretly support him!
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were unwilling to implement the imperial examination, but Liu Xiu and Zhao Kuangyin were determined to implement the imperial examination, but they were powerless.
The aristocratic families in Jingxu and Xu were very powerful, and Liu Xiu had been busy recovering his strength in the past few years. It was impossible for him to conflict with the aristocratic family under such circumstances.
Zhao Kuangyin also made compromises with the aristocratic family in order to deal with Chi You after his death. Therefore, these two people could see the benefits of the imperial examination, but they did not have the objective environment to put them into practice.
Although Liu Xiu and Zhao Kuangyin could not implement the imperial examination system head-on, they took the path of "curving curves to save the country."
For example, Zhao Kuangyin set up Hongwu Halls in several important cities in Xuzhou to recruit warriors from all over the world. Anyone who showed talent in the Hongwu Halls could join the military camp as an officer.
Apart from the impact of the imperial examinations, the biggest change in recent years has been the changes in the power of various princes.
Generally speaking, in the past few years, a total of two forces have disappeared in the tide of the world.
On the grassland, the Western Xianbei led by Yelu Abaoji came to an end, while in the Central Plains, the Sun family led by Sun Ce, the little overlord in Yuzhou, withdrew from the stage of the war between princes.
On the grassland, Yelu Abaoji was finally destroyed by Temujin, but Temujin also felt uncomfortable. Yelu Abaoji exchanged cattle and sheep from Li Xiang for a large number of soldiers and armor, and armed a large number of Western Xianbei herdsmen for Temujin.
It brought huge losses. For a long time, Temujin had to be more stable.
There were also generals. Temujin suffered quite a lot of losses in terms of generals. Wei Lu, Murong Kai, Liu Bao, Hu Chuquan, Xiang Yunyi and other generals, including more than twenty generals, were killed in the battle.
In the final battle, Yelu Abao suffered several injuries to his body but still refused to retreat and fought to the death. In the end, he had a battle of kings with Temujin, and was killed by Temujin himself on the grassland.
The one who died in the battle at the same time was still the hero Wanyan Wu Qimai. Wanyan Wu Qimai did not want to continue to flee with the others, or maybe he was too tired from bearing the hatred of genocide for so many years, and Tie
Mu Zhen continues to grow stronger, making him unable to see hope.
Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai chose to settle with Temujin at this time, and eventually died in battle on the grassland along with Yelu Abaoji.
After Yelu Abaoji and Wanyan Wu Qimai were killed in battle, excluding Yelusha, Shuluping, Yelu Deguang, Yelu Wangxiang, Yelu Hongji, Wanyan Jindanzi, Wanyan Xibuxie and others, some of them died on the battlefield.
Or follow Yelu Abaoji to die.
The rest were divided into four, Xiao Siwen, Xiao Guanyin, Hou Mochen Chong, Hou Mo Chenshun, Da Libo, Xiao Jiyuan, Xiao Dalin and others defected to Li Xiang. Yelu Dashi, Yelu Guiyin, Yelu Xidi, Yelu
Liu Ge, Lang Tianbiao, Yelu Bei and others went to the Western Regions, intending to continue the fire of Western Xianbei in the Western Regions.
It was a pity for Wanyan's golden marbles. Facing Temujin's many generals, he finally broke through his own limits after narrowly surviving several times, and broke through from the peerless peak to the level of a divine general.
You know, even in the sequence of peerless peaks, the former Wanyan Golden Marble was not that outstanding, but he was actually one step ahead of the rest of the peerless peaks and took the lead in taking this step. It can be seen that he has endured all the hardships during this period.
How much pressure there is!
Unfortunately, even after breaking through the divine generals, the Wanyan Golden Marble that had just broken through was definitely the weakest among the divine generals, and was still no match for Shalijin. In the end, he was stabbed and seriously injured by Shalijin, and died in the process of escaping.
The hand of the "ancestor of the gun" Bai Yantuo.
Temujin naturally wants to take a share of the remaining forces in Western Xianbei, including Yelv Wuzhi, Yelv Renxian, Xiao Orila, Xiao Dilu, Xiao Pai'an, Xiao Xiaomu, Xiao Zhuobu and other large and small ones.
All the characters were captured alive by Temujin in the wars of the past few years.
Xiao Tianzuo, Yelu Xiezhen, Yelu Huolu and other remaining generals from Western Xianbei led the remnants of the Western Xianbei army to protect Yelu Abaoji's son Yelu Lihu, who passed through Li Xiang's territory and embarked on the road to defect to East Xianbei.
In essence, the Eastern and Western Xianbei are still Xianbei people. Although the Western Xianbei has perished, the determination of the Xianbei people to resist the Mongols will never perish with it.
West Xianbei and East Xianbei are separated by Temujin's territory. If Yeluhuolu and the others want to go from the grassland to East Xianbei to defect to Tuoba Tao, they will have to cross almost the entire Mongolia. If they can pass, Temujin
There is really no need to continue messing around.
Therefore, it was impossible for Yeluhuolu and the others to set off from the grassland. If they wanted to arrive safely, they could only pass through Hezhou and Bingzhou, and from Bingzhou to East Xianbei.
As for Li Xiang, after some consideration, Li Xiang did not stop these people from borrowing the road. On the one hand, they were still in a marriage relationship on the surface, and many people in Xi Xianbei defected to him.
On the other hand, if these people went to Tuoba Tao, they would continue to be enemies of Temujin anyway.
Now, Temujin has destroyed Yelu Abaoji, and only Tuoba Tao and Nurhachi are left on the grassland. Next, these two people became the main force preventing Temujin from unifying the grassland.
These people can also strengthen Tuoba Tao by running over. At this time, it is in Li Xiang's interest for Tuoba Tao to become stronger.
