Chapter 5208 The origin of the strongman a hundred years ago
Liu Yu was a little surprised. He did not know much about these late Beifu soldiers who were both soldiers and thieves. In other words, deep down in his heart, he did not regard these people as the same kind, nor did he regard them as the same kind.
I am willing to understand their thoughts, but today Liu Jingxuan took the initiative to bring it up. In addition, Liu Yi's subordinates also recruit more of these people. Maybe this opportunity is a good opportunity to solve the confusion in my heart for many years.
So Liu Yu looked at Liu Jingxuan and said seriously: "Ah Shou, I want to hear what you have to say. What do these people think and what do they want?"
Liu Jingxuan put away his smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Actually, these people cannot be regarded as good citizens or peasants, because they ignore the national laws and do not abide by the laws. Almost all of them have had human lives on their hands.
, people who are on the run and breaking the law. However, we cannot treat them in the same way as those green forest bandits, because they are not satisfied with occupying the mountains as kings, gathering in the mountains and forests, and becoming the kings of the mountains that the government cannot control. If you have to give them a classification,
Then I can only use two words to describe him, and that is a strongman."
Liu Yu murmured to himself: "Strong people, strong people? Are they those people who have rich combat skills and experience, but want to be useful and use fighting as a way of survival?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded and said: "It is these people. In fact, when my father established the refugee village in Huaibei, or took over the refugee village, there were many of these people under his command. They were often refugees from the north.
At the end of the year or during Ran Min's Rebellion, his hometown was destroyed and he had no way to make a living, so he had to go south together. After countless battles, those who survived, you also know, the Jin Dynasty court was a little afraid of these people, especially
After the Su Jun Zuyue Rebellion, people were naturally wary of the refugee army. In principle, everyone was not allowed to cross the river. Only the leading nobles who were scholars were allowed to cross the river, while ordinary people were not allowed to cross the river.
He soon became a slave and banker of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "This policy really chilled the hearts of the northern refugees all over the world. They narrowly escaped death and finally escaped the barbarians' sabers. When they came to Jin Dynasty, they had to face a returnee.
Even with the treatment of a slave, if my ancestors were not considered a noble family at that time, I am afraid that I would have been a slave in the Wudi Manor of a wealthy family for generations."
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "There is one thing that actually had a huge impact on the formation of these Lianghuai strongmen. This is what my father told me later before he died. He told me that the Lianghuai strongmen actually
They are those northern Han people who were heartbroken by the Jin Dynasty and did not want to be enslaved by the barbarians and no longer wanted to serve the Jin state. They and their descendants, or in other words, many of them, were those who served under the refugee commander.
The descendants of the old tribe do not serve the Jin Dynasty and are free, which is actually a disguised form of ancestral precepts."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up and he lost his voice: "What you mean is that many of these people are the descendants of the refugee commanders such as Zu Ti and Su Jun who were once loyal to the imperial court. Because the refugee commanders did not die well one after another, they became disappointed with the imperial court. This is why they came here
The two Huaihe rivers are cut off and become bandits, and become strong men?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded and said: "Yes, since our Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, there have been two large-scale refugees. One was the chaos in the Western Dynasty, when the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, and the Han people in the north suffered from wars.
Due to the hardship, both the gentry and the common people moved south in large numbers. The gentry, such as Wang Dao and others, supported Emperor Jin Yuan to establish the country in the south, and made use of the troops that went south at that time. Relying on the internal fighting of the local tyrants in Wucheng, they established political power and seized the
Wu Di has saved half of the country in the south."
"But many ordinary people in the north are not so lucky. They neither have an escort army like Sima Rui nor the support of the Jin army in Wu. Even when they went south, it was already too late. They were no longer the kind of Hulu
Before the two capitals were captured and the world was basically stable, many of them went south and had to face attacks from various barbarian armies and horse gang bandits. Those who could reach Jiangbei and Huainan were not even ten, and they
Most of them are ordinary people. If there were no refugee commanders like Zu Ti, Su Jun, and Xi Jian to lead them, they would probably have died on the road. Therefore, this group of people is actually a refugee group that has experienced hard battles and has strong combat experience.
, and for this reason, they became a big trouble for the newly established Jin court at that time."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, these people went south after all the hardships. Countless relatives and friends died at the hands of the barbarians, and their ancestral graves were not protected. In fact, they did not want to settle in Jiangnan, but asked the court to immediately
Northern Expedition to regain the Central Plains. However, the first generation of Black Hand Qiankun, led by Wang Dao and others at that time, was busy pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, suppressing the powerful landlords of Wu, and establishing political power. They did not care about the Northern Expedition. Only Zu Ti and
Liu Kun and Liu Kun really wanted to go to the Northern Expedition. Liu Kun was alone in the north. Needless to say, the only one who could lead the Northern Expedition was Zu Ti. It was he who led these refugees who wanted to fight and started
The great achievements of Zhongliu Jiyi were that they almost recaptured the entire Yuzhou, and the situation is great."
When Liu Yu said this, his eyes shone. The feats of his ancestor Yuzhou's Northern Expedition were something that all Jingkou people had been familiar with since they were children through countless old people's stories and storytelling. The happiest game in their childhood was to act.
The heroes under Zu Ti rode their wooden horses to the entrance of the village.
But soon, the light in Liu Yu's eyes dimmed. He sighed and said: "It's a pity that when the situation in Zu Yuzhou was great and he was about to regain the entire lost land south of the Yellow River, he met Sima Rui, a foolish king, who came to pick fruits.
, he sent his cronies to take away all the troops of General Zu. General Zu was so angry that he vomited blood and died. His ambition was not fulfilled. General Zu's subordinates did not want to be commanded by people directly sent by the court, so they supported General Zu.
My younger brother, Zu Yue, will continue to lead them."
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips and said: "This is what you heard. What you don't know is that when those imperial officials came to the army, they acted arrogantly and discriminated against the generals, so the brothers secretly killed them
Dozens of these people's guard minions almost caused a mutiny in the entire army. The imperial court was afraid of forcing the army to rebel, so it allowed Zu Yue to lead the army. After this incident, more than half of the soldiers were very disappointed with the imperial court, so they left the army and went on their own.
The land is located in the land of the Huaihe River. He became a bandit and was no longer bound by the imperial court. In other words, he received a military call from the imperial court and independently guerrillaed in the border areas. This is how my grandfather became independent and became the leader of the Black Tiger Village in Huaibei.
