Yizhou Thorn History Department, county, country twelve, county, province one hundred and eighteen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYizhou Thorn History is now stationed in Guanghan County, and it will not be moved to Chengdu until many years later. Except for Hanzhong, Guanghan, Shujun, Yizhou and other counties, there are quite a lot of Han people, and the other counties are almost all barbarians. These native barbarians, in fact, are the descendants of Ba back then, King Qin Hui annexed Bazhong, in order to appease the local natives and not make trouble, he gave them all kinds of preferential treatment. They have the same surname of China, read Chinese books, and the only language they use is Chinese, although they are slightly different in hair accessories and clothes, in fact, they are the same descendants of Yan and Huang.

In the Qin period, Ba County Man, with Ba Shi as the ruler, the world is still Qin girl, its people are not more, the guilty can be removed, its monarch is long to give 2,16 yuan, three years old to give 1,800 yuan, its households out of eight feet and two feet, chicken feathers 30 pieces. In the Han Dynasty, Nanjun Taishou Jin Qiang asked for a story based on the Qin period. It has always been Anshun, and when it came to the time of Emperor Guangwu, there was a rebellion against the Lushan barbarians. After being pacified by the army, he moved his troops to Jiangxia. Another hundred years passed, and when it came to Emperor He, because of the uneven collection of taxes, he rebelled again, and there were rebellions in the future......

Ban Yu Man, when Qin Zhaoxiang was king, there was a white tiger, and he brought his friends to crisscross Qin, Ba, Shu, Han and other realms, hurting more than 1,000 people, and having a lot of fun, no one dared to stop him. When King Zhaoxiang heard the report, he wanted to send an army, but because the tigers were wandering, they appeared and disappeared from time to time, and their tracks were uncertain. It's really not cost-effective to send troops. So he re-recruited those who could kill tigers in the country, rewarded thousands of families, and paid 100 Yi. That's a big enough reward, isn't it? Who can resist this temptation? So at that time, there was a Yi man in Bajun Lang, who could make a crossbow of white bamboo, and he went upstairs to shoot the white tiger. As soon as the boss died, the rest of the tigers scattered into the mountains and did not come out again to harm the world. King Zhaoxiang was very happy, but because this was a Yi man, he bullied him for not understanding the law and documents, and the Marquis of Wanhu was gone, and the hundred gold was gone. They sent people to carve stone alliances with their tribes. The content of the covenant is probably as follows: Well, if you farm, you will not be taxed within one hectare of land, and even if you marry ten wives, you will not be charged your money, and you will be imprisoned for hurting people, and you will be able to atone for the death penalty by paying for killing people. Qin committed Yi and lost a pair of yellow dragons; Yi offended Qin and lost sake for a minute. None of us will mess with anyone, I won't bully you, and you won't rebel, everyone will live in peace. That's it, Yiren is safe. It's so easy to deal with, so the Yiren are still very honest. Just don't bully him.

When Gaozu was still the king of Han, he subdued these guys with kindness and righteousness, and took them to turn around and fight Qin, Gaozu sent someone to say to the Yi people Don't be afraid, I will help you out of the sake, and then I will give you more benefits. When the world was settled, Gaozu asked them to go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers. Then the treatment came down, but the tax of the seven surnamed bosses of Ban Yuman was exempted, so that they did not have to pay the imperial grain for the rest of their lives, but other households paid once a year old, forty per mouthful, of course, this condition is already very good. It's even better than Qin Shi. The boss was very happy, accepted this treatment, and obeyed the orders of Han Ting for generations.

Because of their aggressive and aggressive nature, when it came to Guangwu Zhongxing, the county guard even often took them to fight to quell the rebellion. Later, when Emperor Huan was the first emperor, the politics were corrupted, the officials were often oppressed, and life gradually became unbearable. Since the barbarian nature began, he gathered a crowd to rebel, and the later Taishou surrendered to him with grace. It has been quiet for a few years, but this time, it is actually the other way around. What was the reason for this rebellion?

Liu Bei rode on a horse, holding Jin Qiu and thinking slowly.

Before he set off, he checked the information and obtained information from all parties. After checking the map, Liu Bei learned that there are 14 cities in Ba County, with a population of more than 1 million, which are the top three counties in Yizhou. However, not to mention the large area, the fourteen cities in the territory were all built along the river. And the rebellious Ban Yu Barbarians lived on both sides of the Han River and the Chongqing River. No wonder all counties are shocked, and they can still harass Guanghan and Hanzhong. Dare to go up the river.

Liu Bei was a little hurt in the buttocks, so he kicked the horse's belly, caught up with Xiao Ying in front and said, "Xiao Gong, do you want to rest?" ”

Xiao Ying said: "Xuande doesn't have to worry about me, the old man can still eat, and if you insist on it, you will strive to rest in Baishui Pass before it gets dark today!" "Liu Bei stepped back, Old Man Xiao, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about me. Xiao Ying took Liu Bei and Liu Ke, plus more than 100 guards, and traveled all the way down to Yizhou, if it weren't for the bad weather recently, and how rugged the Shu Road was, Xiao Ying was afraid that he would have to walk at night with torches. Liu Bei looked at the old man Xiao who had gray hair and admired it in his heart. This is the minister of the court of the Gongzhong country. Usually silent, when the country is in danger, he disregards his own life and fights out.

Hurried all the way, and when he arrived in Ruoxian, Liu Bei felt that he had lost several pounds. Looking at Liu Ke and the attendants selected by the emperor for Xiao Ming, they are all in good spirits, and there is no. Even Old Man Xiao looked like he was doing nothing. Liu Bei didn't feel a little discouraged.

Guanghan County, eleven cities, with a population of hundreds of thousands. And Luo County, because the state and county offices are located here, is even more prosperous. I have to say that people at this time are still very discerning. Ruoxian, that is, the Guanghan Dynasty of later generations, is known as the key Qu of Shu Province and the Confucius Road of Beijing. At this time, Luo County is only a few dozen miles away from Chengdu. Open the map and find Ruoxian, you will find that this dense place is densely packed with nearly ten cities. It can be said that the essence of Shu is all here.

Xiao Ying entered the city, and without even taking a sip of hot tea, he took out the holy decree and asked Yizhou Assassin Shi to accept the decree. The emperor asked you to watch Yizhou for him, and that's how you watched? Causing the people to be angry and resentful, and rebellions are everywhere? This rebellion can't be handled by itself, and it can't be concealed before it is reported to the court, right? Yizhou Thorn Shi received the edict with a sad face, he will be loaded in the car, escorted all the way to the Beijing division to discuss the crime, if the self-presentation table is good, and then meet the emperor happy, maybe just demote an official, if one is not good, then wait for death. Yizhou Thorn Shi was already thinking about how much wealth he still had, and how much he had to give to the eunuchs to save his life.

Xiao Ying dealt with the history of the Yizhou assassination, and ordered the officials of the state and county to enter the discussion. After everyone sat down in turn, Xiao Ying asked, "What is the form now?" Where have the thieves gone? Who can teach me? ”

There was immediately an official in the hall, who presented a topographic map, put it on Xiao Ming's case, and pointed it out to Xiao Ying one by one. Guanghan County is okay, only Deyang, Guanghan, and Jiameng have thieves and plunder; Ba County is now all reversed except for the six counties on the east side of the river. The traitors even bypassed the Dianjiang River and went down the river and surrounded Jiangzhou. If it weren't for Jiangzhou's desperate resistance, Jiangzhou would have fallen. As for the anti-thieves in Hanzhong, they have been repelled by the Taishou of Hanzhong, and now the county is Ning.

Xiao Ying also asked about the cause and development of the rebellion, and the number of personnel and troops in charge of the rebellion in various counties. The people in the county also said everything as if they were pouring beans into bamboo tubes. Liu Bei looked at the princes of Guanghan Taishou speaking cautiously in front of Xiao Ying, and smiled in his heart. As soon as Xiao Ying came, he took down the Yizhou Thorn History, this dismount, but it shocked these guys. Otherwise, if these guys hide a ghost in their hearts and hide a thing or two, it's really hard to say what the situation will be in the future.

After talking for a while, Xiao Ying issued an order to let Bajun Taishou, Hanzhong Taishou and Qianwei Taishou come to discuss the matter, and then let the officials disperse. Xiao Ying's trip, the emperor's will was for him to supervise the rebellion in Yizhou. It is equivalent to Yizhou counterinsurgency, he has the final say, if it is put later, Xiao Ying will be the governor of Yizhou, the general of counterinsurgency, and he is only left to hold the festival. But now there is no official position, and there is generally a rebellion, at most send a Taishou or something to get it, this time I sent a royal history in the middle of the Cheng, it's already rare. This is because the local guards can't handle it.

Liu Bei saw that everyone was retreating, so he stepped forward and said: "Xiao Gong, what the Guanghan people said, I don't know the truth or falsehood, why don't we send out a detailed work, investigate on our own, and then confirm each other, so as not to miss the state affairs." ”

Xiao Ying held a cup of tea, looked at the young man in front of him approvingly, and said with a smile: "Well, it's right to be cautious, Xuande, it's up to you to handle this matter." The old man is old and lacks energy, and you will have to do your best and work hard in the future. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Xiao Gong's words are simply killing the kid." Xiao Gong is an elder, and we are all for the court, how dare the kid not work hard? ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Liu Bei saw that Xiao Ying looked tired, so he asked him to rest early, and he also retreated to sleep.

Liu Bei experienced the military formation in Lujiang and was personally assigned by Lu Zhi. At this time, although he didn't dare to say how to be smart, he still knew how to do things and the priorities of things. In his view, intelligence is the most important thing. So on the second day, he sent Liu Ke to lead several teams out to listen to the news and survey the terrain.

When Hanzhong, Qianwei, and Bajun Taishou arrived in Yuxian one after another, Liu Bei had almost collected the news. The reason for the rebellion was very simple, that is, the local officials were oppressed too much, and the taxes that should not be collected were collected indiscriminately, and the things that should not be levied were indiscriminately collected. Ban Yu admits to death, I insist on not paying what I shouldn't pay, and I resolutely don't come out if I shouldn't be out. So the contradiction came, first the conflict and scolding, and then the knife fighting. The situation escalated step by step, and the anger spread step by step, and by the time the county reacted, the rebellion was no longer something they could resist. So he hurriedly reported it, and then requisitioned the army to quell the rebellion. As a result, the army that had not fought for a long time could not win again, and the barbarians became even more angry when they saw the army. They rebelled not because they wanted to be emperors themselves, but because they wanted to make their voices bigger, and they just had a big official to appease their tribes. Because there is no way to do it, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they have lived here for generations, where the capital is, how to get there, they don't know at all. had to use rebellion as a way to attract the attention of the imperial court. As a result, the expected comfort and reward did not come, but waited for the army to quell the rebellion. So the anger of the chief was high, and the days were over, and in this way, more and more rebels grew, and they grew like snowballs, until several counties were restless, and the court was alarmed......

After Liu Bei read the dossier, he couldn't help but sigh, the root of governing the country still lies in governing officials. Looking at the rebellions in the prefectures and counties over the past ten years, the local officials have basically been too harsh, whether they are Han people or barbarians, they can't survive and are forced to rebel. It's pathetic.

Don't the officials know that if the oppression is too great, the people will rebel? They know! But they still do it, only for their own interests, regardless of the life and death of the people. Because they always think by chance, they won't be opposed, they won't be opposed. In this way, the bottom line of the people is forced again and again. Until things get big! However, Liu Bei thought again, why are there so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it is not that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked? The emperor took the lead in messing around, and the eunuchs also stretched out their hands to the states and counties to reap the benefits. In addition, natural disasters have continued for many years, and people have fled. The local states and counties had no source of tax collection and had to put their hands on the barbarians, and as a result, the incident was out of control!

This is the result of the corruption of the rulers! Liu Bei was full of anger, but he was helpless. What if he is full of wealth, he is just a petty official.
