Cao Cao packed his bags and went to Beijing to become an official. He came back not long after he left. The reason was that Cao Cao always cheated on Lou Zi. He first became Luoyang Beiwei (deputy county-level public security director). Young people always want to achieve something.
, as soon as he took office, he asked craftsmen to make more than twenty five-color sticks, which were hung around the yamen. He established a ban. Anyone who violated the ban, no matter he was a wealthy person, would be beaten with a stick.
At that time, Jian Shuo (the great eunuch before the emperor at that time) had an uncle who was a well-known bully. He relied on Jian Shuo's power to run rampant in Luoyang, and no one dared to offend him. Once, he brought a knife and made trouble at night.
He violated Cao Cao's prohibition. No matter how old he was, Cao Cao arrested him and beat him severely with a five-color stick. The bully couldn't bear it and died on the spot. This incident shocked the whole of Luoyang.
Now Cao Cao was famous, but he offended the powerful people and could not stay. His father Cao Song secretly helped him, and he was transferred to Dunqiu as "Ling" (equivalent to the county magistrate), and then became "Ling" (equivalent to the county magistrate).
He held positions such as Yilang and Jinan Prime Minister, either because he offended the powerful or was dissatisfied with the court, so he resigned and went home.
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. It was a comfortable day. Cao Cao and Cao Zhi were climbing up a mountain not far from home to look into the distance. Cao Cao believed that this could cultivate a person's domineering attitude. Cao Zhi didn't feel this way when he looked into the distance.
, but he was very happy to get rid of the entanglement of Xiaocui, a little bitch, and go out for a walk to see the green mountains and green waters. Suddenly, someone stumbled up from the mountain and shouted at them: "Young Master, you two
The 'yellow scarf thieves' have rebelled." The one who rushed up the mountain and yelled was Dahei, Cao Cao's follower.
Cao Zhi had never seen the Yellow Turban Thieves, but he had heard of them several times. Today when he climbed up to look out, he heard Cao Cao mention them, so he naturally knew what the Yellow Turban Thieves meant. In the past ten days, the Yellow Turban Thieves had made a big fuss all over the country.
The ferocity and savagery of the Yellow Turban thieves were like a group of bloodthirsty beasts to people like Cao Cao.
Cao Zhi was influenced by later generations of film and television dramas. In his opinion, the so-called Yellow Turban thieves are good people, ordinary people who have been oppressed, but they are beasts that have lost their humanity.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was a typical rebellion forced by the government and the people! In recent years, famines have continued, and the farmers have almost no income. However, the court has increased the "oral tax" of the people, from the previous payment starting at the age of seven to paying the tax as soon as they were born. And
The land tax also increased by ten yuan per acre. As a result, countless farmers went bankrupt and starved to death everywhere. People and dogs competed for food. The utterly stupid Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty trusted the eunuchs and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. The money in the warehouse was not enough, so they searched for money.
, opened a very special shop in Xiyuan. Rich people can come here openly to buy official positions and titles. They posted notices outside the gate of Hongdu, marking the price of buying an official. They set the price for buying a county prefect.
20 million, the price of buying a county magistrate is 4 million; those who cannot pay for the moment can temporarily borrow money and double the payment after he takes office. These officials who spent money to buy officials will of course be more energetic in plundering the people's wealth as soon as they take office. The Eastern Han Dynasty
The darkness and corruption were at home. The corruption of the imperial court, the oppression of powerful landlords, exorbitant taxes, and the successive natural disasters forced the common people to resist.
There are three brothers in Julu County. The eldest is named Zhang Jiao, the second is named Zhang Bao, and the third is named Zhang Liang. The three are quite capable and willing to help the people. They founded a sect called Taiping Dao, which cost about ten years.
Over the years, Taiping Taoism spread throughout the country. The number of believers in various places grew to hundreds of thousands. Zhang Jiao and others divided the country's eight states into thirty-six areas, with more than 10,000 people in the large area and six to seven thousand people in the small area.
Each party elected a leader, under the unified command of Zhang Jiao, and fought independently. As soon as they received Zhang Jiao's order, they rose up at the same time. The rebel armies from all over the country attacked the counties and counties, burned the government offices, opened the prisons, released the prisoners, and confiscated the officials' property.
Open granaries, punish officials, and powerful landlords. Within ten days, the whole country responded.
But as soon as the war started, burning government offices, robbing powerful people, and confiscating property became more and more common, some leaders and tribesmen of this group of peasant rebels began to lose control and showed their banditry. What is the point of insisting on peace? Following the Taoist teachings, this part of the rebel army began to go unchecked, burning, killing, looting, and raping women. After hearing the news, Cao Cao, a landlord class, naturally regarded all the rebels as cruel and barbaric people. Bloodthirsty beast.
But after all, Cao Zhi is now on the side of Cao Cao's landlord class. He will not naively think that if someone breaks into the city and breaks into his house, he will show mercy to the second son of a landlord.
Rebel troops from all over the country poured into Luoyang from all directions, and urgent documents from counties and counties flew like snowflakes to Luoyang, the capital. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hurriedly summoned ministers to discuss suppressive measures. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed his relative He Jin as the Grand General, and at the same time sent a large number of troops , led by Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun (sound jùn), and Lu Zhi, divided into two groups to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. However, the insurrectionary armies in various places seemed to be cut off by the river, and the government could not resist. General He Jin had to call Han Lingdi An edict was issued, instructing the states and counties to recruit their own troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the clan nobles, state and county chiefs, and landlords in various places took the opportunity to seize territory, expand their power, and control the entire country in the name of fighting the Yellow Turban Army. The country is torn apart.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was notoriously corrupt, did something very important to Cao Cao's life this time. He ordered the states and counties to recruit their own troops to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao was also named the Cavalry Commander by the emperor and was sent to Huangfu Song's subordinates went to Yingchuan (the seat of governance today in Yu County, Henan Province) to suppress the uprising. Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun with him, and Cao Ren went to his post.
When Cao Cao was at home, he studied and practiced martial arts with Cao Zhi. This is what Cao Zhi wants. In this era, these are necessary to settle down and survive. In fact, Cao Zhi in the past was good at both civil and military affairs, but the modern Cao Jie only occupied Cao Zhi's body. , did not inherit Cao Zhi’s ideas, so for the current Cao Zhi, it is a blank, like a blank piece of paper, and he has to start from scratch.
Cao Zhi learned a lot from Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was not at home, he learned from Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, and others. For Cao Zhi, there were too many things to learn. The first was dressing and wearing hats, greeting people, and etiquette. specification.
Furthermore, there is horseback riding and archery. Horseback riding is an essential means of transportation in ancient times. I have ridden it once or twice in the past few days. I was nervous and panicked, and the inner sides of my legs were worn out. This is something that cannot be done without learning. The key is to practice more, practice makes perfect.
Cao Zhi likes archery and martial arts very much. After watching martial arts movies when he was a child, he pestered his parents to go to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. But after experiencing it for himself, he realized that it is "hard" and learning martial arts is something that cannot be rushed. Cao Zhi joined in some The grappling and fighting techniques and some modern physical training methods learned in the police academy. Only by strengthening the body can one get twice the result with half the effort by practicing martial arts, such as running, push-ups, etc. When Cao Zhi was practicing those grappling and fighting techniques, Xia Houyuan and the others were stunned for a moment. Of course, they had never seen this kind of martial arts before, and they thought it was quite novel.
The biggest headache for Cao Zhi is armor and weapons. This era belongs to the era of cold weapons. In order to increase the lethality, everyone likes to use heavy weapons. Cao Zhi had a hard time holding it in his hand at first, let alone wielding it to kill the enemy. Things are dead, but people are alive. Cao Zhi still used modern knowledge to go to the blacksmith shop and drew several pieces of paper before the blacksmith figured it out and made a long knife similar to the Persian scimitar. He also made a Similar to the dagger of the Moon Scimitar, these two knives have the characteristics of thin back, light weight, and sharp edge. In particular, the dagger is short and longer than a dagger, so it is easy to carry with you. But it can only be used for self-defense.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon. Long weapons Cao Zhiting likes guns, but the guns at this time are different from modern guns. It is a stabbing weapon, similar to a spear. It is said that it existed during the Huangdi period.
At that time, the spear blade was sharp and long, and it had not yet broken away from the form of a spear. Cao Zhi improved the spear head into a short and pointed form, which was sharper than a spear.
Wearing it is even more troublesome. The armor is thick and requires the help of three people to put on a set of armor. In addition, the weapon must weigh at least more than 100 kilograms. Walking is not easy. I have no choice but to adapt to the future.
.
There are also many differences between the ancient traditional Chinese and the modern simplified Chinese in terms of words and articles. Some of them can be understood or guessed, while others are really incomprehensible. This article is even more difficult. Cao Zhi has been in elementary school since he was a child.
I started to learn Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and taught classical Chinese in middle school, which was considered a foundation. But when I came to this era, I realized that what I had learned before was only very rare.
It is easy to solve these difficulties in the Cao family. There are many talents in this manor, and Cao Zhi is willing to teach Cao Zhi even if he asks for advice humbly. Although some of the questions asked are very superficial, but fortunately they all know that Cao Zhi has suffered a head injury.
Since things happened in the past, no one would find it strange. Generally speaking, Cao Zhi has learned well in the past three years and can adapt to ancient life.
Three years passed by in a blink of an eye. In these three years, Cao Cao became more and more successful, but he became more and more disappointed with this corrupt court.
In the fourth year of Emperor Zhongping's reign, Cao Cao was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Forbidden Army due to his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion. Before going to Beijing to take office, he returned to his hometown. Cao Zhi had admired Luoyang, the historical eastern capital for a long time, and wanted to see it. 2.
Lai also knew that the "Yellow Turban Uprising" had occurred, and the world was not far away from chaos, so it was safer to stay with Cao Cao. He asked to go to Beijing with Cao Cao to visit his father. Cao Cao also wanted to bring a few of his own people with him to facilitate things.
Since Cao Cao's current official position gave him the right to appoint his own officers and bring his own soldiers, he agreed. Cao Zhi and Xiahou Dun were appointed as generals of monuments, and Xiahou Yuan was appointed as Sima.
When they were ready, Cao Zhi took Cao An with him and set out on the road to Luoyang with a hundred or so soldiers. Of course, Cao Zhi did not take his eldest daughter Xiao Cui with him. This little girl was so angry that she was so angry when she left.
