Chapter 180: Refugees have to move through customs
To be honest, I don’t really like telecommunications repairmen. I called yesterday and came at about three o’clock this afternoon. He left after four o’clock before the repair was completed. The result is that the network will send chapters again tonight...
Dong Zhuo entered the officialdom as a son of a good family, but did not do well at first.
Later, he attached himself to the Eunuch Party, and after Liu Hong came to the throne, he deliberately cultivated the Eunuch Party to fight against powerful ministers. As the Eunuch Party's status began to improve, Dong Zhuo also rose with it, and gradually gained some status and power.
But no matter what, time is always an invisible butcher's knife. When Dong Zhuo began to rise to fame, he suddenly realized that he was already in his forties. If you were a villager in a remote mountainous area, many people in this
He is almost old enough to die.
I would like to ask a careerist who has begun to enjoy the pleasure of power, how can he be allowed to die without knowing when he has not reached the peak of power?
Under such circumstances, most people would seek immortality pills in an attempt to achieve immortality. Dong Zhuo's situation was rather special, that is, he got a cult book before he even started looking for immortality pills.
Although it is a classic of a cult, it is also a rare cultivator, and it is not a fake thing like Fax Gong. It is an absolutely genuine fairy book.
Dong Zhuo must be stupid or mentally retarded to leave such a classic without practicing.
As a result, Dong Zhuo began to practice cultism without fully understanding the rules of the immortal sect. Eventually, his character became more and more violent as his temperament improved. The road he had been following as a powerful minister eventually changed.
Become a tyrant.
The above is the result that Xie Xin deduced by himself after listening to Huang Zhong's words. How close to the truth this result is, he can't tell clearly.
It's just that Huang Zhong knows those things about the Immortal Sect, so if he says that Dong Zhuo has practiced magic similar to that of the Immortal Sect, then it is really possible that he is practicing Cultivation. In addition, as he described, the formations coming out of Dong Zhuo's body
Because of the evil spirit, Xie Xin came up with the above-mentioned conjecture.
Xie Xin doesn't want to worry about Dong Zhuo's cultivation of demons for the time being. After all, there seems to be no conflict between Dong Zhuo's cultivation of demons and the progress of history. On the contrary, it has a sense of conforming to history. Xie Xin doesn't know what he will face if he meddles in his own affairs.
What kind of consequences.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo's power will not be able to reach its highest level for a while. Now the military system has emerged so quickly that he has been branded as an eunuch and is severely suppressed by the military.
Let's just say that this time in Xiliang's fight against thieves, he had a lot of credit, but when it came to rewarding his merits, he didn't get any practical rewards. He was only given the position of Zhangye Governor. And this position must be put into practice.
In reality, he would have to go to Zhangye in person to capture it.
If we talk about Jiuyuan Lu Bu, Jiuyuan is in the hands of the Han for now. He can just go there and raise a team. But Zhangye is still in the hands of the Qiang people. If you want to take office, you must first take back Zhangye, and then be slow.
Slowly recruit soldiers and civilians to come back and live there, so that you can build up a team.
What made Xie Xin happy most about the conversation with Huang Zhong was that Huang Zhong was about to be promoted to General Jianwei for his success in fighting off thieves, and he would also be given the post of Nanyang Prefect. As for his original boss Qin Jie, he was transferred to the central government
, which can be regarded as a small improvement.
It's just that the decision to transfer Qin Jie to Luoyang was not a request from Lu Zhi's group. It was the effect He Jin achieved through the operation of Queen He. The excuse was simple, it was just that he had meritorious service in promoting Huang Zhong and was diligent during his tenure.
Mian, he also has many political achievements.
The real reason for such a transfer was that He Jin helped with logistics in dealing with the invasion of the Southern Huns, so he relied on nepotism to become the Bingzhou Biejiao. However, in this way, he had to go to Jinyang to take up a post.
, The sky is high and the emperor is far away, I worry that the Holy Heart is unstable.
Therefore, if he wants to win over Qin Jie as a foreign aid to sit in the court, he can step forward to make some comments when someone speaks ill of him. Another intention is to use Qin Jie to win over Huang Zhong, the prefect of Nanyang.
Furthermore, although the relationship is a bit messy, if you can win over Huang Zhong, you can win over Xie Xin. If you can win over Xie Xin, you can win over the Gongsun family, which has real power in Youzhou. In addition, Xie Xin and Huang Zhong are
He is a member of the military faction. In other words, he has a relationship with the military faction. If everything goes well, he can become an ally.
God knows how He Jin came up with such a confusing relationship. Anyway, when Xie Xin heard about this "brilliant plan" from He, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Of course, this is something for later.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival activities are over, students will return to school one after another, and everything will return to normal by then.
But after three or four days, I couldn't even receive a letter of thanks from the students who went home for the holidays, so I couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Just when he was considering whether to go to their home to see in person, Dian Shang quickly ran to the school door and pointed out that he wanted to see him.
"What's wrong? You look so anxious!" Xie Xin looked at his appearance and asked in confusion.
"Thank you, Teacher, there are about 3,000 refugees from Zunyi Township! Judging from their appearance, they will rush into the township at any time. In order to avoid accidents, it is best for students not to go out casually!" Dian Shang replied breathlessly.
"Refugees? Where did they come from?!" Xie Xin frowned.
"Where else could it be? The flood in Chaisang a month ago had already displaced many people. But as the saying goes, 'After a major flood there must be a plague,' and plague soon appeared in the Chaisang area.
In order to escape the plague, some residents in the Chaisang area chose to go eastward, while some chose to go north, hoping to go to Luoyang to ask the court for a way out.
The residents along this road were all restless guys, so after eating the food, they gathered together to ask for food in the villages along the road. At first, each village saw that they were all Han people, so they gave some food.
But they didn't have much food in the first place, and what they could take out was naturally not enough to stuff the teeth of these refugees.
As time passed, and the court did not respond in time, these refugees began to become violent, breaking through three or four villages and plundering all the food inside. Then they went all the way north, and now they have arrived outside Zunyi Township!
"Dian Shang helplessly told what happened.
"Is there no response from the imperial court?" Xie Xin was puzzled.
"What other reaction can there be? There are wars everywhere this year. Money and food are originally a big problem. After a large number of deployments, the states and counties are already short of food.
Coupled with the hoarding of grain merchants, there will be less grain on the market, and even if there is, it will be at a sky-high price!
Without food, there is naturally no way to comfort the refugees. Now the refugees have turned into mobs, so Brother Han Sheng seems to have begun to receive orders from the court to kill all these refugees in the name of thieves and bandits!" Dian Shang said depressedly.
Explained.
"Kill them all?!" Xie Xin was shocked when he heard it.
"Yes! Because there is no relief, and because it is meant to scare the monkeys, at least 30,000 people will be wiped out!" Dian Shang finished speaking and sighed slightly.
"Is there any remedy?" Xie Xin asked immediately after hearing this.
"Yes! The fellow village chief has asked about it, and there is another voice in the court, that is, if the local area can absorb these refugees, then it can absorb it on its own. The refugees who are absorbed and transformed will have to serve double the corvee within three years, and they can be transferred back to ordinary people after the expiration of the period.
common people.
In fact, since the edict was issued, towns along the road have also absorbed some refugees. But they are mainly young women or strong men. After some screening, only the old, weak, women and children are left here." Dian Shang smiled bitterly.
said.
After hearing this, Xie Xin finally understood.
Precisely because there are only the old, weak, women and children left, the imperial court has already known all the townships and towns, and is afraid that it no longer wants to absorb any more refugees. These refugees have nowhere to settle. Although they are just a mob robbing food now, who knows what will happen with time
With the passage of time, will there be a rebellion?
The dignity of the Han Dynasty will never allow the emergence of rebels who cannot be suppressed. Even in order to avoid the appearance of this stain, it is reasonable to take precautions in advance. Moreover, those old and weak women and children who are born cannot form a labor force, and they will not die if they die.
pity.
"How is the situation down there?" Xie Xin asked finally.
"Currently, they are guarding outside the countryside. Because the rural guards gather quickly, they are afraid to launch an attack. However, there are more and more of them. They are afraid that after a certain number of people are gathered, they will start to rush into the countryside.
Already.
What General Huang meant was that before the other party could assemble, they would attack from inside and outside, and kill all the thousands of people who had gathered. By using their heads, they would intimidate other refugees and make them regain their senses and go back where they came from.
Although we still have to kill people, it is at least better than killing all 30,000 people." Dian Shang answered truthfully.
"This is also a way..." Xie Xin could only sigh after hearing this.
He is not the one in power, so he has no way to decide their life or death. And he cannot take the opportunity to give alms, because in the feudal period, doing so would be suspected of buying people's hearts and having evil intentions.
Rules are a very troublesome thing, whether in the mortal world or the world of cultivation.
"Teacher! Help!" Just when Xie Xin was about to give up, a student rushed over.
Taking a closer look, isn’t this one of the students who went home for the holidays?!
"How did you become like this?" Xie Xin asked in surprise.
I saw that this student was in rags, and he felt like he had just been in trouble.
"Refugees rushed into their hometown, and their homes were robbed, and their parents were also hijacked. Not only me, but also several classmates' families were also hijacked. Now they are all tied up outside the village, saying that they are
Lead the way!
The student finally found an opportunity and used the cover of his family and classmates to escape and come to report the letter. We hope that you, teacher, can help us!" The student suddenly knelt down in front of the thank you letter and kowtowed several times.
"You mean, many of the students who went back to celebrate the festival were taken hostage along with their families?!" Xie Xin suddenly shouted in surprise.
"That's right. If it weren't for life and death, the students wouldn't be so anxious!" The student replied crying bitterly.
"No! I have to go down there myself!" Xie Xin really couldn't sit still now.
He can ignore the life and death of other people, but how can he ignore those that have something to do with him?!
I didn't want to get involved at first, but now it seems I can't even think about it!
