Chapter 231 The town in Pai County is the homeworker
After the death of Huangpu Song, Zhang Huan and Duan Yan, the Three Kingdoms of Liangzhou, they ushered in the Three Kingdoms era, a gathering of heroes in Chinese history.
However, in the family history course of a large family like the Guo family, the war of Sanming in Liangzhou to quell the Qiang rebellion in the northwest is more valuable for research than those battles during the Three Kingdoms period.
Guo Ziyi even once commented that if the Eastern Han Dynasty could only evaluate one great general, it would be Duan Jiong!
The largest Qiang rebellion in the northwest at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was almost quelled by Duan Qiu alone. He brought out more than 10,000 Eastern Han Dynasty Central Forbidden Army, and when the Qiang rebellion was quelled, he brought back 50,000 troops. If not for his outstanding military exploits in the late Eastern Han Dynasty,
, and Duan Jiong lost his integrity in his later years and took refuge with the eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This made Duan Jiong suppressed by the scholar-bureaucrats.
But Guo Ziyi was not talking about Duan Juan's military talent. Guo Ziyi said: "Among the three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou, Huangpu Song and Zhang Huan belong to the same category. They advocated cleaning up the chaos in the northwest, appeasing the rebellious Qiang people, and using gentle methods to pacify the Qiang people.
chaos."
Guo Xin asked: "What about Duan Jiao's method?"
Guo Ziyi stroked his beard and said: "Duan Jiong's method is much simpler. To sum it up, it is just kill."
"kill?"
"Duan Jun comes from a family of military generals in the northwest. His understanding of the Qiang rebellion in the northwest is very simple. The Qiang rebellion in the northwest caused the plight of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so all he needs to do is kill all the Qiang people."
"So Duan Jun's method to quell the Qiang rebellion is to kill. As long as all the Qiang people are killed, there will be no Qiang chaos."
Guo Xin took a breath. Duan Jiao is really a cruel person, and his method of solving problems is simple and crude.
Guo Xin asked: "Uncle, whose method is feasible?"
Guo Ziyi sighed and said: "The Qiang rebellion in the northwest of the Eastern Han Dynasty was indeed caused by the officials in charge of the northwest being too corrupt and often oppressing the Qiang people. When Huangpu Song and Zhang Huan were in charge of the northwest, they did take the lead in hospitality to the Qiang people and treated the Qiang people ruthlessly.
We punished several prefects and county magistrates who oppressed the Qiang people and took credit, and stabilized the situation in the northwest."
Guo Xin listened carefully. Huangpu Song's approach was effective and generous. Did his uncle want him to imitate Huangpu Song in governing Anxi?
But Guo Ziyi said: "But there is a problem with Huangpu Song and Zhang Huan's approach."
"What's the problem?"
"The prefecture magistrates who could serve in the northwest in the Eastern Han Dynasty were all from high-ranking families. Huangpu Song punished them and were soon transferred back to Luoyang by their patrons in the court. However, the policy officials of Huangpu Song and Zhang Huan died, and so on.
When they returned to Luoyang, the Qiang rebelled again."
Guo Xin took a breath. Sure enough, she still thought too little.
Rectifying the administration of officials is not a simple matter.
Just like the northwest officials in the Han Dynasty had backers, today there are also many descendants of aristocratic families who are gilded in Anxi during the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Guo family in Taiyuan where Guo Xin was located was in the spotlight because of Guo Ziyi's relationship, it was still nothing compared to the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty.
What the imperial court granted Guo Xin was just the post of the Beiting Protectorate, that is, the temporary acting governor of the Beiting Protectorate. If he really managed the issues in Anxi, I am afraid that the imperial court would bury him by participating in his memorial.
.
Guo Xin quickly said: "What about me learning from Duan Ji?"
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi laughed instead.
"Duan Jun can defeat 50,000 Qiang people with 500 people, can you?"
Guo Xin was speechless, and Guo Ziyi said again: "Duan Juan personally led his troops to chase the Qiang people from Hehuang to Mobei. He chased them for three full months and drove out a Qiang tribe. Can you do it?"
Guo Xin nodded quickly. He finally understood why Guo Ziyi believed that Duan Jiong was the first military general in the Eastern Han Dynasty. With this ruthlessness, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were no more.
Guo Ziyi said: "I am not asking you to copy the methods of your predecessors. My uncle can only teach you not to be impulsive when encountering problems after arriving in Anxi. Whether it is to rectify the government or eliminate the rebels, the most important thing is to grasp the military power."
"Only when you have prepared your troops can you have room to advance and retreat."
With Guo Ziyi's teachings, Guo Xin reorganized his military equipment after arriving in Anxi, trained his troops seriously, and indeed brought out the remaining soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate. He had just put down the rebellion in Khotan a while ago, making Guo Xin famous in Anxi.
, many small countries that wanted to rebel sent people to the Anxi Protectorate to plead guilty.
But this time Tu Shi Qi's rebellion was different. Guo Xin knew that Tu Shi Qi was forced to rebel by the magistrate of Baixian County, but Magistrate Wei was born in Jingzhao Wei family and was a descendant of a large family.
After the Prime Minister Guan left the capital, Wei Jian, the clan uncle of County Magistrate Wei, was worshiped as Prime Minister by the Emperor for his role in accompanying the Emperor to Shu.
The nephew of the prime minister, although Guo Ziyi also has the title of prime minister who is responsible for Pingzhang's military and state affairs, Guo Ziyi is the same as Pingzhang and is not the prime minister who really handles the country's affairs. He is not as influential as Wei Jiansu in the court.
The Jingzhao Wei family is a well-established family, and a military general family like the Taiyuan Guo family cannot match the influence of the Wei family.
Guo Xin knew very well that after Wei County Magistrate took office, he spent every day drinking and having fun with the literati in the county, leaving all official duties to his subordinates.
In order to be promoted, Wei County magistrate continued to squeeze Tu Shiqi people and forced Tu Shiqi people to rebel.
For example, a tribe of Tushi cavalry people who moved inland had already converted to Chinese farming, but they were framed as a rebellion by the Wei County magistrate and sent troops to massacre the entire village.
It was because of the oppression of Magistrate Wei that the Tushi Cavalrymen in Baixian County rebelled. When it got out of hand, Magistrate Wei sent a letter asking for help to the Anxi Protectorate, requesting the Governor to send troops to suppress it.
Guo Xin felt as if he had eaten a fly. It was obviously Magistrate Wei who caused the trouble, but Guo Xin was asked to come over and wipe his ass.
Here, Guo Xin led his troops to station on the edge of Baixian County. In the prison in Baixian County, a ragged prisoner was sighing.
Locked together with this prisoner is an unlucky player who traveled to Pai County.
This player is called Zhang Keda. He is a merchant player who followed the westbound caravan to Kucha. However, after arriving at Kucha, he decided to continue looking west and took the goods to Pai County.
Unexpectedly, the officials in Pai County were more terrifying than the bandits. They framed Zhang Keda as a businessman who had an affair with Tu Shiqi, confiscated his goods and put him in jail.
Zhang Ke Ke sighed, wondering if the test qualification he had finally obtained would end up in a prison cell in Pai County?
This guy who was locked up with Zhang Ke Ke sat on the ground and cried every day.
Zhang Ke Ke couldn't stand the cowardice of this guy. He couldn't bear it tonight. He kicked the inmate on the ground and asked:
"You cry and cry every day, and you will never be clean!"
After saying this, Zhang Keke, who was already in a irritable mood, put his foot on the prisoner's body.
Zhang Ke Ke's cellmate was originally thin, but after being kicked by Zhang Ke Ke, he was so frightened that he did not dare to make a sound anymore, so he had to hide in the corner of the cell and sob softly.
Zhang Ke Ke couldn't bear to see the inmate's appearance. He walked up to the inmate and asked, "You've been crying all day long. What crime did you commit and were you arrested?"
"Heroes, spare their lives, heroes, spare their lives!"
Although Zhang Keda is a merchant player, he also spent a lot of contribution points to strengthen his body before heading west. His appearance is really scary.
Zhang Ke Ke was upset again. Even though he looked a little scary, it was too much for these government officials to arrest him in prison indiscriminately and falsely accuse him of colluding with Tu Shi Qi Ren.
Zhang Ke Ke sat down directly next to the inmate and asked: "You look like this, and you can't do anything bad even if you think about it. How did you end up in jail?"
Zhang Keda slowed down his tone, and the inmate finally calmed down a bit. He raised his head and said, "I am a meritorious officer of the county government. My name is Xiao Rang. I was arrested by the county magistrate and put into prison a few days ago."
"You are a hero of the county, why were you arrested by the county magistrate?"
Zhang Keda had a very bad impression of the officials in Pai County. He was doing business honestly and dutifully, but he was falsely accused of having an affair. This is evident in the administration of officials in Bai County.
I heard that Xiao Rang was once an official in Baixian County, and Zhang Ke Ke had a bad impression of him.
Zhang Ke Ke asked, and Xiao Rang couldn't help crying.
Zhang Ke Ke was even more annoyed now. He kicked Xiao Rang and said, "Mother-in-law, why did you get arrested?"
Xiao Rang sighed again and said, "I am afraid that if I am arrested this time, I will have to bear the blame for the county magistrate."
"Take the blame?"
Xiao Rang sighed and said, "I am originally from a poor family. I met Magistrate Wei when I was studying in Xijing. Later, Magistrate Wei appointed me an official, so I followed him to Baixian County."
Zhang Ke Ke nodded. Although the Tang Dynasty did not have full-time teachers like those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still many scholars who served as personal advisers to prefects and magistrates.
For example, the position that players currently hold in Bafu is actually Li Yan's personal staff, and their salaries are paid by King Jianning.
Although the imperial examination system was implemented in the Tang Dynasty, Jinshi was quite valuable. However, only a few people could pass the Jinshi exam, and most of the children from poor families had no way of passing the Jinshi exam.
Like Xiao Rang, these children from poor families will work as staff for some local high-ranking official.
It was quite common in the Tang Dynasty for Xiao Rang to meet the children of aristocratic families during his study tour and follow the proprietor as an official.
"Then why do you say you want to take the blame for Magistrate Wei?"
Xiao Rang cried again and said: "For this Baixian rebellion, Magistrate Wei wants to put the blame on me and make me take the blame. It's a pity that I have been studying hard for ten years and am going to be buried in a foreign land!"
Zhang Ke Ke saw Xiao Rang's cowardly look and couldn't help but ask: "Since you were framed, why didn't you complain? Besides, even if Magistrate Wei framed you, such serious crimes must be reviewed by the Beiting Protectorate.
?Can't you just make your grievances clear?"
Xiao Rang just shook his head and said: "No, no, County Magistrate Wei was born in the Jingzhao Wei family, but he is a child of a wealthy family. A child from a poor family like me can't compete with him. My parents work every day to support me in my studies, but I have ended up like this.
An end!"
Seeing Xiao Rang's appearance, Zhang Ke Ke saw himself. Like Xiao Rang, he went from being a question maker in a small town to the city. Later, he was framed by a boss with a background and lost his job, so he entered the game to kill time.
Zhang Ke Ke's tone suddenly softened and he said: "Don't be afraid, I will help you."
