Chapter 2158 Guanzhong Honglu
?Tonight is extremely long.
In the land of Sanfu and many counties, countless fires were lit.
?In the blazing fire, some were shouting and fighting, and some were at a loss. Even many refugees were alarmed by this, and they were confused and didn''t know what to do.
?Some villages were captured, with fires everywhere, cries and howls, and thick smoke wrapped in black ash floating in all directions. If the autumn harvest had not ended and winter was approaching, these fires would have burned the fields to ashes!
In the swaying fire, there are always some people who will be controlled by the greed in their hearts, and start to fish in troubled waters, take advantage of the situation, and start zero-dollar shopping activities. If they encounter the yellow and white items of wealth, it will take the chaos to a higher level, countless With red eyes and dark hearts, they were fighting for their belongings in the firelight. From time to time, they heard screams and blood splattering...
When human nature shrinks, animal nature is magnified.
?Chaos spread, and the shouts of killing and fighting soon overwhelmed the sound of the fire crackling and burning.
Countless people struggled together. Some people grabbed their hands full of belongings and were stepped into the mud. Some people grabbed some and ran away desperately. Some people slashed and killed indiscriminately with red eyes. Then every time they killed someone, Go and open the fingers of the dead body, collect the belongings on it, and no matter what you catch, just throw it into your arms.
The wealth in Guanzhong makes many people jealous.
When there is order, it is just a matter of swallowing your saliva and fantasizing a little bit, but with "full freedom", the original fantasy can be put into practice...
The people in the market are ruined and have nothing to offer except for being brave and ruthless. I ate today, but I don’t know where tomorrow’s meal will be. I didn’t expect that chaos arose overnight, and I could use my own force to rob property at will. When I finally got hold of it, When they were thinking about the yellow and white thing, they were filled with ecstasy from the bottom of their hearts, making their faces almost distorted.
?However, these people are not the focus of all the riots, or even just some inconspicuous ripples.
The ones who really stir up trouble and strangle flesh and blood are never those who participate in zero-yuan purchases.
There is no other choice but this! 』
"But…"
‘There is no other way! If we give up here, our lives may be saved, but the family property will be wiped out! 』
"The Law of Jue Tian" is like poisonous wine. Although you can live for a while by drinking it, you will definitely die! 』
"How can we see our ancestors under the underworld?" ! 』
The death of the Bian family means there will be chaos in Yanzhou, and the death of the Zang family will mean the collapse of the Yuan family! If the hussars don''t know what they have learned from their mistakes, they will all fall into **** together! 』
『There are so many bitter hussars in Guanzhong! Now that you and I are breaking up, it’s Yunying! 』
『The hussar acted against the will of heaven, and God will punish him! We are doing justice for heaven, and we have righteousness in hand! 』
『Wait, wait...if we take action, how will we deal with this...if the hussar turns around? 』
"This matter has been planned for a long time...please take a look..."
A map was displayed under the light and fire, with ink crisscrossing it like scars, twisting and wriggling between light and darkness.
『Hussars and horses are scattered all over the place...Now that the army is outside, Guanzhong is actually controlled by you and me! There is a certain person in Linjin...why should I be surprised? I believe the same is true for you in other counties..."
『Ahem...brother, continue, continue...』
“Now things happened suddenly and amid the chaos, especially the large hussars and cavalry were not seen. From this we can know that it was just some troops from Longyou and the north from Guanzhong!” Why should we fear these soldiers? It is true that the hussars and horses are powerful, but it is difficult to save the fire from afar. Even if the hussars get the news and return immediately, it will become a huge trend. What can they do? ! 』
"What''s more, someone has an old relationship with the general... If we launch an attack and the general goes all the way to the east of Hedong, cutting off Pingyang''s way south, occupying Chang''an all the way, and blocking the way back to Wuguan, with the hussars wandering outside, it will be without foundation." The wood! It falls apart in an instant! What is there to fear? At that time, you and I will all be heroes, and we can last for hundreds of years, and we will be a blessing to our descendants! 』
The group of people fell silent.
?In the firelight, whichever map swayed, it seemed that everyone''s hearts were swaying along with it.
The reason why the gentry are powerful is that they control almost all key departments in the local area, from local administration to law enforcement, from taxation to population. In many cases, even newly arrived local officials need to look at the faces of the local gentry''s big families. , otherwise even basic operations cannot be carried out.
It is precisely because these large gentry families have gained too much power in the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty that it is not so easy to let them down now...
?Then these people feel that they are great even more.
Cao Cao''s rebellion in Yanzhou.
Even Yuan Shao, the so-called world model of gentry leaders, had Zang Hong''s rebellion.
Not to mention that Emperor Sun sat on the stove for many years, and his face turned purple from the heat.
?Then the Qiusi riding here will be smooth and stable?
It is impossible, especially when these people feel that they have finally seized a chance.
Many people in later generations could not understand why the wealthy gentry were so arrogant in the Han Dynasty. They often thought that with one move of their own butcher knife, all the people would surrender, but in reality? In feudal dynasties, isn''t it not uncommon for local nobles to override national laws?
The history says: "There was a big brewer named Jia Yuliang. He said, "My wine is so effective that no disease can invade it." Everyone believed it, and there were like a cloud of buyers. However, those who felt unwell after drinking were kept silent. Some people in Jiaozhou were very suspicious and denounced it as poison. The big households were angry, so Liang County officials sent out soldiers to travel thousands of miles to capture the people of Jiaozhou and punish their crimes, so as to calm the anger of the big households. 』
If things are not kept secret, they must be leaked. The people were angry and criticized. The superior also knew about it and asked him three times about it. The officials in Liang County looked around and talked about him. He was kept in prison for three months before he was released. He was as panic-stricken as a frightened bird. A few months later, everyone forgot about the incident, and the wine sales of the big winemakers continued as before. 』
The reason why large gentry families can override the law and even replace the law with their personal wishes is because the cost of large gentry families breaking the law is extremely low. In feudal society, large gentry families themselves are the ruling class and are protected objects. How can they be easily violated? damage? I didn''t hear some officials openly shouting, "Whoever makes the noble family unhappy will be made unhappy?" Therefore, it is not surprising that he has broken the law 2,630 times in ten years and is still safe. Some people even said that they should look at the problem from a development perspective and "stop focusing on other people''s past."
Secondly, for the Han Dynasty under the county system, for the lack of local administrative constraints, the court often can only issue edicts to reprimand, but edicts, local agencies can treat them as if they have not seen, heard, or received them, and wait for what should be done. When everything was almost done, he said, "It turns out there is an edict. Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"
?Another very important point is that sometimes more than 60% of the taxes paid by local officials to the court, or even more, come from a certain big family. So will local officials go against the local big families? Obviously impossible.
On the one hand, if the local official Tou Tie really did this, let alone back then, and failed to achieve performance for several consecutive years, it would not only be a problem for one county, but also affect the entire county. Then other counties in the county would fight for this Tou Tie Will the officials pay the bill?
On the other hand, even if the head iron official really manages to deal with the big local households and has a way to solve the taxation issue during his term, then when his term is about to expire and he wants to be transferred to another place, the subsequent big local households will have nothing to do with it. As a matter of fact, are you even welcome to do it? I must do everything possible to kill this tough guy first...
Hence, it is actually very troublesome to really get some big local players.
Just like when Pang Tong wants to clean up these small groups that raise food prices, it is naturally impossible to choose local law enforcement agencies to arrest them, because this is often ineffective. He can only mobilize troops across counties, that is, with Longyou troops. Put out the evil fire of Sanfu in Guanzhong. The soldiers of Longyou are subordinate to Longyou, and they obey Longyou''s instructions. They will leave after finishing their work. They are not contaminated by cause and effect, and their movements are natural and quick.
However, it was precisely because the number of soldiers mobilized in the initial stage was somewhat small that it made these large households feel that the counterattack by Pang Tong and others was too weak, completely different from what they expected, and even had an opportunity...
"So...Hangu Pass is a dangerous place for military strategists. Even a great general...how can he pass it easily?" 』
"Haha...you guys don''t know. There is a secret passage at Hangu Pass, which can be easily passed without using swords..."
‘Seriously? ! 』
‘If this were not the case, how could I say that this would happen? 』
Everyone looked at each other, as if some fire was reflected in their pupils...
There is a mountain named Jing in the south of Linjin. There is a military camp on the side of Jingshan.
??The commotion in Linjin was blown like the wind to the Jingshan camp, making the camp inevitably agitated.
?There are four songs near Jingshan Mountain in Jin Dynasty, commanded by an army commander.
?At midnight, a messenger who escaped from Linjin County took advantage of the chaos and brought orders from Linjin officials, asking these soldiers to go to Linjin and follow Ma''s arrangements...
??It would be okay if there was only this order, but several hussar soldiers had also gone outside the camp to issue orders before.
??And the order brought by the hussar soldiers was for the soldiers in the Jingshan military camp to stay put and not to move without permission!
??Two completely opposite orders immediately confused the soldiers in the Jingshan military camp, and many middle- and lower-level military academy non-commissioned officers approached Zhao Qilang. Zhao Qilang is only a music leader, but he is a veteran in the Jingshan camp. Sometimes his words are even more useful than those of the army commander.
Zhao Qilang was a generous man and often used money to treat his friends and subordinates to dinner. Whenever someone was short of money and asked Zhao Qilang to borrow money, Zhao Qilang would always give away money without saying a word, and would never urge him to repay the debt. When Zhao Qilang is mentioned, everyone gives a thumbs up and praises him.
??But the problem is that Zhao Qilang''s original background was not very good, and his family did not have a gold mine, so where did his money come from?
??Some people really haven''t thought about this issue at all, some people have thought about it but didn''t think of it, and some people already knew it but pretended not to know...
Taking people’s money naturally means you need to eliminate disasters with them.
??Now Zhao Qilang''s face is inevitably a little ferocious, and he has completely lost his usual kind appearance.
Wang Chang sent people to order the people in the Jingshan camp to stay where they are and not to move without orders. This is because even a fool knows that among the county soldiers near Jingshan in Linjin, there must be local natives who have worked hard to kill them. I don''t know how many people are involved in the secret. If he comes out rashly, I can''t explain it. If he loses his control a little and suddenly breaks out at certain critical moments, it will hinder the overall situation!
So just use the soldiers from Longyou, and none of the soldiers from the counties where these incidents occurred.
??While Zhao Qilang was silent, somewhere in the camp, several people suddenly shouted in unison: "In Linjin City are our food, clothing, and parents!" Now that the people are in chaos and their parents are worried, how can we sit back and watch? ! If he was a coward at this moment, how could he have the face to meet the Jin elders the next day? ! 』
?As soon as this roar came out, it overwhelmed other sounds, and more and more people began to echo it. For a while, the camp was filled with boiling water, and it was as if a pot was about to explode.
The Army Sima also heard the sound and rushed over. When he saw Zhao Qilang and others gathered together, he frowned, pointed his halberd and shouted, "Zhao Qilang!" If you are like this, what do you want to do? ! Why don''t you go back quickly and suppress your subordinates? ! If something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask! 』
Zhao Qilang''s thoughts turned around. If the Hussar army turns around and everything is well prepared, there will be no situation where anyone can run out to send a message to the camp. And if someone in Linjin can run out, it means that Linjin is not completely under the control of the Hussar. It cannot be said that You can become an important weight in turning the balance of Linjin!
??If his backer falls, even if he obediently stays in the military camp and does not act rashly, will anyone reward him for this? Absolutely not. At the same time, after the backer falls, his source of money will be cut off. At that time, everyone inside and outside the camp who owes him money will definitely become his enemy!
How humiliating and despicable you were when you borrowed money, how cruel you will be in the future!
It can not only beat up the drowned dog, but also forgive the debt in an honest and fair manner. If it were Zhao Qilang himself, he would definitely be happy to do it!
So, now there is only one chance!
Little people have their own standards of judgment. It is impossible for Zhao Qilang to know the entire situation. He can only make inferences based on his own experience, but most of the time these experiences are limited by his own personal experience, so there are often problems...
??But now Zhao Qilang doesn''t think there is anything wrong with his idea.
?Seeing that the army commander was about to put the blame on his head, Zhao Qilang no longer hesitated and raised his arms and shouted: "Now that Jin''s father is in trouble, how can we just sit back and watch?" ! It is our bounden duty to get rid of the chaos and bring peace to the place! After the chaos is settled, there will be a generous reward! 』
?Following Zhao Qilang, all the confidants he had won over were already gearing up. At this time, after hearing Zhao Qilang''s shouts, they also shouted together, and their faces were all fierce and terrifying.
To cut off a person’s financial path is to kill his parents.
??My parents were killed, so naturally there was sworn hatred!
Whether Qiao Qi is a good person or a good leader is no longer important at this moment. In the eyes of Zhao Qilang and people like Zhao Qilang, whoever blocks his way to make money is a dissident. Dai Tian’s enemy!
Jun Sima''s face turned a little pale. He didn''t expect that Zhao Qilang would be so decisive and even fall out with him on the spot!
Without saying a word, the army commander immediately retreated!
?But Zhao Qilang didn''t allow him to leave. When he saw the military commander retreat, he immediately rushed forward, reached into his boot, pulled out a sharp short blade, and stabbed the military commander''s chest and abdomen.
??Jun Sima escaped the fatal blow, but could not avoid the follow-up attack. He had to kick him, but Zhao Qilang slashed him **** the thigh. The pain was overwhelming and he fell to the ground.
The guards of Army Sima took a step forward and stopped Zhao Qilang, "Okay!" He is already wounded and will not stop you. 』
Zhao Qilang frowned and said, "You are..."
"My surname is Ma..." said the guard of Army Sima.
Zhao Qilang slowly wiped away the blood on the short blade, then looked at the pale-faced Army Sima, "Then...he..."
"He is too timid..." said the military Sima guard, "it seems that your courage is greater than his..."
Wealth can only be found in danger! Zhao Qilang stepped back, then turned around and shouted, "What are you doing standing still? If you have the guts, go prepare your armor and ask me for wealth!" 』
?? Zhao Qilang''s confidants immediately dispersed, and they flew to pick up soldiers and armor and lead horses. For a while, the camp became a mess with people shouting and horses neighing. Some people coerced unsuspecting soldiers around them to act with them, some people just obeyed in a daze, and some people secretly hid in the corners of the camp, not wanting to participate in this chaos.
?In the military camp, the soldiers and armor were naturally ready, and in a blink of an eye, these people were neatly dressed and gathered in one place.
Zhao Qilang originally wanted to kill Jun Sima, mostly to establish his authority, but since he was now a fellow soldier, there was no need to be cruel anymore. He gave the sluggish Jun Sima a cold look, turned around and left.
??If it succeeds this time, it means that the powerful posture maintained by the hussars actually has flaws. If it cannot succeed, then it is just death. Well, maybe, in the worst case, you can still escape...
It''s better than waiting to die in the camp anyway.
Amidst the shouts, a group of rebels got on their horses. Zhao Qilang and other confidants, plus the hundreds of riders who were being held hostage at the moment, roared through the camp gate that was already wide open, heading towards Linjin. Gallop away!
The hussars are well paid to support the army, but they are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Those directly under Fei Qian are naturally the highest, followed by those directly under the generals of the major military regions, and then the general hussar soldiers. Although these county soldiers actually receive hussar military pay, they are actually paid by the counties themselves. .
In addition, before Hussar took charge of the Third Assistant in Guanzhong, there were more or less soldiers from counties and counties in various places. Of course, it was impossible for these soldiers to be dismissed just because Hussar Feiqian arrived. Therefore, after the sudden incident, It is also normal to show alienation or rebellion.
Of course, in most cases, if Zhao Qilang and others had not deliberately manipulated and provoked, most of the soldiers in these counties would have stayed at the camp peacefully...
And among the Sanfu in Guanzhong, if there is a falcon looking down from high altitude, you can see countless firelights swaying on the land of Sanfu, as if the scars that were originally good have been torn apart again. Open, blood flowed out...
?There is also pus.
The land of Sanfu in Guanzhong, this piece of land that had begun to decay a hundred years ago, the tumors and pus buried under it finally surged out!
