Chapter 2069 Yellow Turban Rebellion
February 184 AD, the Jiazi year of the lunar calendar, the first year of Zhongping.
The Yellow Turban Uprising finally broke out.
Julu man Zhang Jiao, who called himself "Tiangong General" and his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, "Di Gong General" and "Ren Gong General" respectively, started an uprising in Jizhou in the north.
They burned down government offices, killed officials and plundered everywhere.
Within a month, fighting broke out in seven states and twenty-eight counties across the country.
The Yellow Turban army was overwhelming, the prefectures and counties were lost, and the officials fled, which shocked Luoyang.
This is one of the most famous and largest peasant uprisings in history.
But the result was the same as other uprisings, and it eventually turned into a ladder for the landlord class to ascend.
Zhuojun. It's very fast.
Zhang family manor.
"Teacher, as you expected, troubled times are coming!" Zhang Fei rushed to the school excitedly after reading the results from outside.
Wen Rensheng was teaching a dozen of the smarter disciples.
Yes, of course he will not forget his old profession.
Especially during the Three Kingdoms period, the relationship between teachers and students was more reliable.
Zhang Jiao relied on being a teacher to gather his disciples to rebel. If you listen to his title, you will know: "Great Teacher".
Looking at Zhang Fei’s expression, he looked like an urban hero reading a doomsday novel, looking forward to the end.
If you think about it carefully, it is quite similar.
The protagonist got a golden finger, but it was just a matter of time; Zhang Fei also had a talent, but he was unable to display it during the Taiping years.
After all, Zhang Fei is a military general, not a civil servant. He does not know how to govern, let alone engage in officialdom.
"Calm down, Yide. Sit down first. Troubled times are coming. I have already anticipated this. This is a catastrophe for the people. Don't get excited." Wen Rensheng reminded.
"Yes, master, it's me, Zhang Fei and Meng Lang." Zhang Fei looked embarrassed, and then sat on the side of the school.
After the two parties decided on the roles of master and disciple, master and slave, Zhang Fei treated Wen Rensheng with respect.
This is his personality.
He was also the first to change his attitude towards Zhuge Liang.
"Okay, students, the country is in turmoil and the people are separated. It is the time for our generation to use force. I am here to test everyone, what should you do?" Wen Rensheng looked at everyone.
“I heard that the captain of the school, Mr. Zou, is gathering the rural volunteers. We can vote for them and get military merit.” Student A was very excited.
“Today’s imperial court is corrupt. Even if we defect to the imperial court, in the end we can only join in the corruption and cannot protect the country and the people.” Student B shook his head.
“Isn’t it enough that we don’t join in the evil?”
“Then you will be ostracized by everyone, like Qu Yuan, the whole world is dirty but you are the only one who is pure. We cannot change this world. "Student B sighed.
Knowing about Qu Yuan shows that these students have attended school for at least five years.
"What should we do, brother Yiluo?" everyone asked.
Wen Rensheng looked at the discussions among the students below and smiled without saying a word.
“We should live in seclusion here, save the countryside, and live out our lives.” Student B is obviously a Han Dynasty layman.
Unfortunately, his idea is obviously wrong.
"While others are growing stronger, we live in seclusion. Now 500 people can resist 2,000 bandits. But if 50,000 bandits come, won't we be destroyed?" Someone shook his head.
"Yes, who doesn't know that the Yellow Turbans have loud slogans, but they are actually a group of thieves who rob wherever they go. If they come to our county, we will also suffer. They will not reason with us. ." Student A laughed.
Student B has nothing to say.
He saw through some things, but his ideas were too negative and not applicable.
So everyone obviously didn’t believe it.
At this time, someone said to Wen Rensheng: "If there was no teacher to take us in, we would have starved to death on the roadside and ended up with the same fate as the Yellow Turban thieves. Do you want the teacher to teach us what to do?"
Wen Rensheng smiled.
He will not continue to follow the major events of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
That will only be controlled by others.
The essence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in the final analysis, is that the princes fight and fight with each other, and in the end one poison wins.
The land of China, a nearly closed environment in the east, south, west and north in ancient times, became the best place to raise Gu.
Every time they fight to the end to decide a king.
And if he wants to win, he must always make use of the contradictions between the parties according to the situation, deal with them, develop himself, and attack the enemy.
Hearing this, he asked everyone again: "Dear students, do you think the Yellow Turban can be successful?"
Everyone said: "The Yellow Turban will definitely not be successful."< br>
"Why is that?"
"It's very simple. The students have heard the news from everywhere. The Yellow Turbans are not involved in production, they only know how to plunder. At first, the people will follow them because of the pressure of life. But as time goes by, their team is getting bigger and bigger, and there is nothing to grab, so how can they support it?" Student Yi said confidently.
Wen Rensheng nodded.
Everyone also nodded.
Seeing this, if Student B joins the service of any prince, as long as that prince has half the vision of Liu Bei, he will have to give him a salary of four hundred dan and accept him as an official.
Among the Yellow Turban forces in history, big and small, the one who ended the best was Zhang Yan. He organized the Yellow Turbans to reclaim the mountains, and thus turned the bandits into separatist forces.
"In this case, what should we do, do you understand?"
"I understand, fight the Yellow Turbans, get a reward from the court, and become famous." Someone said excitedly.
Wen Rensheng nodded slightly.
Of course, he cannot tell these people the true strategic plan in his heart.
"Even if he achieves success, he is just like the princes of today's court. How can the common people live a good life?" Student B sighed.
Mourning.
In fact, the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties had already begun to have a mourning culture.
Sit down and talk about truth, talking about what is false and what is not true.
"If you don't do it, it will naturally not change." Wen Rensheng said with a smile, "The current imperial court has issued an order that allows localities to organize local warriors to defeat thieves on their own. As long as we have a county, we can naturally implement it. Your own ideas may not lead you back to the old path.”
Everyone was thoughtful.
Wen Rensheng usually told them that the purpose of practicing military formations and learning Tao strategies was, firstly, to make their family prosperous, and secondly, to enable the people around them to live a good life.
The so-called Da means benefiting the world.
Everyone accepted it easily.
Yes, it is easy to take the righteousness to live a good life yourself and let others live a good life.
If someone insists on saying, I just want to live comfortably alone, while others are in poverty, so I feel superior.
He can say this, or he can think this way, but if he says it, he will definitely not get the support and effectiveness of the majority of people, but will be cast aside by others.
This cannot be said on stage.
Even if you are a hypocrite, you still have to say that the purpose of the scholar-officials in governing the country is for the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has food to eat...
I dare not say that it is just to let the scholar-officials live comfortably and the common people If they live like pigs and dogs, the common people should make cattle and horses to support the scholar-bureaucrats.
Although that's actually what it does.
This is the difference between China and the barbarians. Everyone is living a good life, which is a golden sign. Although in reality, the gap between people is wider than that between people and dogs.
Since ancient times, although people have been divided into four groups, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, no one dares to say that you businessmen should live like dogs and give money to us scholars.
Zhang Fei listened patiently, although he had long wanted to go to the battlefield and fight.
After all, the soldiers trained by Teacher Zhao are really strong.
He couldn't wait to see their power.
In the past year, he took his soldiers and horses to strangle some bandits.
They are all devastating. Over the course of a year, less than ten people were killed or injured, mostly due to colds and colds caused by sleeping outdoors.
Some are infected after injury.
Most of the injured and injured were cured by Wen Rensheng using some herbal medicine.
The more contact he had, the more he admired the teacher.
The teacher is a man of extraordinary talent.
The housekeeper who once provoked him was simply short-sighted.
When Zhang Fei heard Wen Rensheng's words, he immediately stood up and said: "In that case, teacher, let's quickly join the army and kill the bandits, and then secure a place to guard and kill all those corrupt officials. People live a good life ”
"Well said, Yide, you immediately send someone to inquire about recruitment."
Wen Rensheng ordered, and then said to the students: "You also go back immediately to prepare for the expedition, and be sure to prepare dry food , clear water, fodder, medicinal materials, and civilian men, we are ready to apply."
Zhang Fei went immediately.
He wants to use the heroes he knows to find out about this.
At the same time.
Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, ordered Zou Jing, the captain of the Polu School, to recruit local braves to fight against the Yellow Turbans invading the state.
The recruitment list was quickly sent to Zhuo County.
Zhang Fei led his people to the street. When he saw the recruitment list at the city gate and the recruitment location on it, he immediately stepped forward to register his name with the official guarding the list and prepare to apply.
At this time, I saw a young man with arms above his knees and a dozen rangers. He looked like he was in his twenties and seventies, and he was also going to apply for the army.
Behind the other party was a red-faced and bearded man, who was particularly powerful.
"This hero, a certain Liu Bei, don't you know the hero's name?"
Zhang Fei had a liking for this man as soon as he saw him, because he was also a ranger.
"A certain Zhang Fei has met Brother Liu. Why don't we go to my manor and have a talk? How about we go together?"
"That's it." Liu Bei said happily.
As soon as he looked at Zhang Fei, he knew that this man was generous and wealthy.
And he just needs the funds to raise an army.
Soon, Zhang Fei brought Liu Bei and a dozen other rangers to the manor.
After eating and drinking, he took them to see Wen Rensheng.
“This is my respected master Zhao Shan, a man of extraordinary talent, omniscient, omnipotent and omniscient.” Zhang Fei began to introduce the two of them sincerely,
"Teacher, this heroic brother Liu is a member of the Han clan, the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing."
"A certain Liu Bei, I have met Mr. Zhao." Liu Bei bowed sincerely.
“It’s easy to talk, I’ve met Brother Liu.” Wen Rensheng smiled and helped the other person up.
At this moment, the rangers behind Liu Bei suddenly started shouting:
"Who are you and what are your abilities? Can you be my eldest brother Liu?"
"You must not disrespect the master. With Yide's introduction, Mr. Zhao must be a great talent. I am willing to pay my respects to you." Liu Bei said seriously.
Wen Rensheng nodded.
Not to mention anything else, Liu Bei did everything he could to treat the scholars with courtesy.
After all, there were too many clans and he had almost no capital, so he followed Liu Bang's path.
It is a pity that although Liu Bang has Liu Bang's ambition, Liu Bang's perseverance, and Liu Bang's partial ability to win over talents, he does not have Liu Bang's overall view and management ability, which wasted precious early time.
The northern plain counties could not maintain normalcy, but Xuzhou did not maintain it, did not open up to the south of the Yangtze River, and failed to win over the Xuzhou gentry, which is the best manifestation of his inherent shortcomings.
"You guys, how dare you disrespect my teacher? Come on, come and compete in my manor school!" Zhang Fei was furious.
Every one of the rangers was convinced and they all left immediately.
Liu Bei sincerely apologized to Wen Rensheng.
“These people are all rangers in the county. They are disobedient by nature. I hope you can forgive me.”
“It’s easy to say. It’s easy to say. We happen to be going out to recruit. Why don’t we go and see them together? It depends on the preparation." Wen Rensheng said.
"Okay, okay." Liu Bei also wanted to know whether the other party was really capable.
So everyone came to the manor school grounds.
The rangers who arrived earlier were all stunned.
Because in front of me are rows of solemn and solemn sergeants.
More than 500 people, surrounded by what looked like ancient chariots.
There were sword and shield bearers, spearmen, spear throwers, and a small number of crossbowmen, all wearing armor and in high spirits.
At first glance, he looks like he has elite soldiers and strong generals.
With 500 elite soldiers, there is no other such powerful soldier among the county soldiers in Youzhou.
Only the soldiers who go out to fight under the captain's command can have such elites.
"Sir, you are really talented." Liu Bei was greatly moved.
If there is such a military formation, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?
"It's easy to talk. With such a military formation, there are still a few village commanders missing. I wonder if Brother Liu is willing to give in?" Wen Rensheng wanted to make a decision directly.
"Of course Bei is happy with this." Liu Bei agreed immediately without any hesitation.
At this time, he was still white.
How could there be so much ambition later?
He thought that with such a strong army, he would definitely be able to achieve a lot of achievements, and when the time came, he would also be able to gain a county with the help of his background.
It’s just that he thinks too much. It’s hard to be a hero these days without money.
It can only be said that he is still far from understanding the overall situation of the big man at this time.
In other words, there is still a bit of the ranger's stubbornness and he doesn't want to compromise.
Not as good as Cao Cao, he could keep his stature very low, he could kill eunuchs in order to gain fame, and he could join Dong Zhuo to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
Wen Rensheng then appointed Liu Bei as the deputy commander of the 8th Village.
Tell him to learn how to train and fight in military formations, and then lead a new group of people.
Beyond the ten villages, after fighting a few battles, gaining military merit by capturing prisoners, and providing food and grass provided by counties and counties, we can expand.
Liu Bei happily followed.
The rangers act as Liu Bei's bodyguards.
Afterwards, many things were prepared within two days.
Wen Rensheng left the Santun people to guard the manor, and designed a way to hide in the county in times of danger.
Build a good relationship with the county magistrate early on.
Soon, the group of people set up troops and went to Jicheng, where the Youzhou government is located.
Arrived outside Jicheng.
Some soldiers came forward with officials to inquire, and learned that they were local warriors who had come to apply for the army. Once they saw their appearance and formation, they immediately introduced them to Zou Jing, the captain of the Polu School.
Zou Jing, the captain of Polu School, was immediately overjoyed when he saw the military strength of everyone.
Wenren was immediately promoted to the official music commander and military orders were issued.
Of course, this is only a private appointment within the state and county, not a formal military position in the Han Dynasty.
After all, through today’s buying and selling of officials, many systems have long been ruined.
There are many private appointments to official positions.
Zou Jing was obviously a man who knew how to fight and did not rush to break up Wen Rensheng's army.
If you were happy to see this powerful army and then took it away for your own use, that would be the end of it.
There must be internal strife first.
Others have worked hard to recruit and train soldiers, but you take them away based on your prestige as a Shangguan. What do other country warriors think?
It must be centrifugal.
