Seven hundred and forty-five Suhou Monument
The news that Suning left Lingnan and went north to Lujiang reached Lujiang, and the entire Jiangdong land was shaken, and everyone who had nothing to do began to operate around, if nothing else, just because this minister of the Qin Mission, Suning, the left attendant of the Marquis of Sanyuan County, was really afraid of them.
Suning's reputation among the people is still good, because a series of reform actions led by him have made the grassroots people get a lot of benefits and benefits, everyone is very satisfied, and naturally they have a good impression of Suning, but as the biggest loser in this reform movement - the family, it is not an exaggeration to hate Suning, and no one will have a good impression of their enemies, even if this is a very talented enemy.
After the collapse of the behemoth of the Shandong Shi clan, the only remaining Shi clan representative of the Jiangnan Shi clan felt that the lips were cold, and the Jiangnan Shi clan was not as prominent as the Shandong Shi clan in the Tang Dynasty, because both the Sui and Tang dynasties were based on the north and then conquered the south to conquer the land of Jiangnan to dominate the world, and their roots were in the north.
After the split of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the Jin Dynasty crossing to the south, a group of Central Plains scholars were swept away in the previous political and military operations, either dead or plundered by the northern alien tribes to the northern Luoyang and other cities as slaves and maids, to the Chen Dynasty, with the Jin Dynasty to the south of the group of well-dressed scholars have no past scenery, the "Wei and Jin bones" are also gone, replaced by the tragic era of taking root in the northern Shandong land and withstanding the ravages of foreign races, ushering in the continuous sinicization of ethnic minorities, As a result, they had to rely on the Shandong Cultural Group and the Guanlong Military Group, which flourished during the Han Dynasty to govern the local area.
After the southern scholars experienced the four generations of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, the original Xie family, Wan Jiahuan family and other astonishing scholars have been wiped out. Either by the northern army in the south invasion and captured or in the Hou Jing Rebellion was cut down and eradicated, the strength of the Jiangnan Shi clan has declined greatly, and now the existing ZĂ i Shi clan is the local Shi clan who have been living in Jiangnan since the Eastern Han Dynasty, integrating the Central Plains culture, rooted in the land of Jiangdong, although they do not like the concept and arrogance of the Shi clan, but Suning still wants to give them a glorious title - the tenacious guardian and inheritor of Han culture.
It is precisely because of the tragic Hou Jing Rebellion that the last military force of the Qiang people, a barbarian nation with a deep blood feud with the Han people, was wiped out by Chen Baxian, and the Qiang people were also exterminated, but the local scholars in Jiangnan also suffered heavy losses. The power is gone. Although the status is still the same, it is far inferior to the Shandong Shi clan and the Guanlong military group in terms of strength, financial resources, and political power, and can only be ranked in the ranks of second-class nobles, and does not actually have the strength to compete with the Guanlong military group that has now eliminated the Shandong Shi clan.
So Suning is not worried about what storms and waves those Jiangnan Shi clans can make. They should know. If they resist. The end will only be worse than that of the Shandong Shi clan, not to mention the Hou Jing Rebellion again, and the two families of King Xie, who are the highest families, were almost wiped out. The rest of the Shi clan also suffered heavy losses, and they had long lost the absolute strength of the monopoly of political and economic positions in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the struggle between the Shi and the Shu was always the Shu win, and then the boundary between the Shi and the Shu disappeared, and there was no distinction between the Shi and the Shu.
But walking on the land of Jiangdong, Suning always feels a kind of sad mood lingering, which is different from when he went south from Xiangyang through Changsha and other places to Lingnan, the land of Jiangdong, the hometown of Dongwu, is the area with the heaviest losses in the Hou Jing Rebellion, and Xiangyang, the original Jingzhou area, suffered relatively little damage, and the Central Plains culture after the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south is mainly rooted in Jiangdong, and the land of Jiangdong that flourished for a while during the Eastern Jin Dynasty is now endless desolation.
Hou Jing took the remnants of the people who were not wiped out by Ran Min in the land of Jiangdong and committed a heinous crime, not to mention the slaughter of the Jiangdong Shi clan so that it did not exist two or three, the capital of the four generations of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen Jiankang, that is, Nanjing City, 120,000 Han people to Hou Jing was wiped out by Chen Baxian There are only more than 2,000 living people left, and only Jiankang is 118,000 Han people were slaughtered by Hou Jing, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are "thousands of miles away from smoke, people are rare, and the white bones are gathered, such as Qiu Longyan".
At the beginning, the land of Jiangdong that supported the hegemony of Wu and Yue, the hometown of the eight thousand Jiangdong children who supported the hegemony of Chu and the king, the land of Jiangdong that supported the Eastern Wu to resist the strong Wei and the Jin Dynasty for decades, and the last shelter of the Han culture between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, Qi and Liang Chen for hundreds of years, until now, it has become like this, and there are no people for thousands of miles.
There used to be the ancient battlefield where the two kingdoms of Wu and Yue competed here, there was once the pace of the 500,000 troops of the Great Qin to conquer Lingnan in the south, there was once the heroic spirit of the overlord of Chu who swore to oppose Qin, there was once Sun Ce's Jin Ge Iron Horse, there was once the melodious voice of Zhou Yu's silk and bamboo, there was once the past of the Eastern Wu lord's conquest of Shanyue, and you can also see the Lanting Pavilion where the Yiguan clan climbed the mountain and looked far away to talk about the rise and fall of the ages, and you can vaguely see Wang Xizhi's chic posture when he waved......
However, today's Jiangnan is a desolation that people can't face, accustomed to the prosperity of Chang'an, and also seen the rapid development of Lingnan, there are people everywhere, and there are people everywhere, but Jiangnan, Jiangdong, why can't you see people?
Along the way, Suning felt unprecedented depression, even when he went north to Lingzhou, he never felt such depression, whether it was hundreds of years ago or hundreds of years later, Jiangnan was not so desolate, but now, Jiangnan is such a desolation, such a thousand miles without people.
What about the people who used to be here?
Xue Rengui asked Suning in surprise, even when he followed Suning's footsteps south to Guangzhou, he didn't expect it to be such a desolate scene, which is not the same as the desolation of Jingzhou's hometown, the desolation of Jingzhou's hometown is more natural, and there is no sense of pathos, but here, everywhere you can feel the relics of war that are not long away from today's time, and now, it is eighty years from that catastrophe......
The desolation of Jingzhou is natural, and the four counties of Jingnan are even more so, it can be said that it is a beautiful scenery, and it is even more so to go south from Changsha, but here, this land, it is like the tragic situation after being ravaged by ferocious beasts, Suning can even feel the despair of the people who were killed in this land, Suning asked Xue Rengui if he knew about the Hou Jing Rebellion at the end of the Liang Dynasty. Xue Rengui said that he had not heard of it, and Zhang Wuregret said that he only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be related to the death of Emperor Wu of Liang.
Xue Rengui is a soldier, he likes to read military books, limited to family conditions, he can only read military books, as for Zhang Wuregret, he is addicted to Guiguzi, and he is not interested in history books, they are still like this, not to mention the two thousand carnivorous army, Su Ning sighed deeply. "It was a mess at that time. It's very chaotic, Hou Jing's rebellion, and it's only been more than 80 years since we got together. back then. Emperor Wu of Liang in his twilight years. North Korea is divided into two parts, and Hou Jingyuan is a general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and a descendant of the Liang people. It was the Shile people who established the pseudo-Zhao in Luoyang.
Ran Min killed most of the Qiang people, but there was still a group of Qiang people fled, after Ran Min died, the Hu people returned to the Central Plains, after a period of melee, Xianbei Wei ruled now Guanzhong and Shandong and other places, the north was finally calm for a while, Xianbei Wei split into the East and West After the two Wei, the Eastern Wei general Hou Jing went south to surrender to Emperor Wu of Liang, and later in the war the Liang clan was captured by the Eastern Wei, Emperor Wu of Liang planned to exchange Hou Jing for the children of the clan, Hou Jing was furious, and then rebelled.
Miserable, miserable, Emperor Wu of Liang was still wise earlier, and Liang was also strong for a while, but later, Emperor Wu of Liang became more and more superstitious about Buddhism, and asked the courtiers to raise money to redeem him several times, so as to raise money for Buddhism. Liang slowly declined in this way, Hou Jing's army was all murderous people, and after the rebellion, it was like a bamboo, all the way to Jiankang, the capital of Liang, which is now Jinling City.
After fighting for a while, it was beaten down, Hou Jing went in, Hou Jing's soldiers also went in, kill, kill, kill, kill, 120,000 Han people killed to save more than 2,000 living people, well, it's about the same as us now, it's just that a number of people like us lived to Hou Jing was killed, 120,000, and that's not all, Hou Jing also proposed to Wang Xie Erjia before the rebellion, Wang, Wang Dao, Wang Dun, Wang Xi's Wang Xi's Wang family, Xie, Xie An, Xie Yi, Xie Daoyun's Xie family, that was at that time just like the previous Cui Lu Zheng Wang, unattainable, Hou Jing is a man, Who is qualified to marry my Han daughter?
Of course, it didn't work out, after Hou Jing rebelled, he took Wang Xie's two families to open the knife, almost wiped out the clan, and prospered for a while, but after all, it was inevitable to exterminate the fire, and even the prosperous country of Song Qiliang was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the land of Jiangdong was ravaged by Hou Jing's blood flowing into a river of corpses and piling up into a mountain, and finally, Hou Jing was naturally killed, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, Chen Ba first established Chen, but Jiangdong's hometown no longer has the original prosperity.
What we see now is basically the tragic deeds of the year, it didn't take much effort when the former Sui destroyed Chen, and it didn't take much effort when the Tang Dynasty Nanping Xiao Milled, and it didn't take much effort to hit here, these are all the sins that Hou Jing did at the beginning! How many people died in this chaos back then! â
Xue Rengui and Zhang Wuregret were silent after saying this, and Suning didn't want to make the atmosphere so gloomy, so he smiled and said: "That's why I will go north to Lujiang so easily this time, because after repeated blows, the Jiangnan Shi clan has long lost its original power, far less than the Shandong Shi clan, and the Shandong Shi clan has been eradicated by my Tang Dynasty, let alone the Jiangnan Shi clan?" Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, although we only have two thousand people now, but I don't believe that the combat power of these two thousand carnivorous troops is not as good as those three thousand Yuejia! Rengui, what do you say?! â
Suning asked Xue Rengui in a loud voice, and Xue Rengui suddenly swept away the haze, and shouted proudly: "Brothers, how can we compare to three thousand Yuejia?!" â
The two thousand carnivorous troops shouted in unison: "Strong! Strong! Strong! â
Suning smiled and looked at the state of the two thousand carnivorous troops, and felt a sense of comfort in his heart, although the past cannot be changed, but we can change the future, with these powerful troops, at least we can ensure that the original tragedy will not be repeated again, Jiangnan will not suffer a massacre, without Suning's time and space, Jiangnan was still slaughtered, but now, Suning has long sworn that the wheel of history must change direction in the Tang Dynasty, and the original history will be turned into ashes!
After seeing the people for the first time, Suning knew that he was about to enter the human world, in order to express his sorrow for those unjust souls, Suning asked Xue Rengui to do strong labor, polished a stone tablet, took a dagger and carved a text written by Suning himself on it, and set up a tablet, and asked Zhang Wuregret to dye the ink a little bit, although I don't know how long it can be saved, but at least this is a piece of mind.
Before leaving, Suning took 2,000 troops here for the last time to pay tribute to the ancestors who died tragically, sprinkled a glass of water and wine, and wished them rest in peace.
As for this stele that was later called "Suhou Stele", it became a good story, because this is the first stele in the real sense of Chinese history for the innocent people who died tragically, not for any emperor and general, but a stele set up by a Tang Dynasty minister for a group of people who died tragically at the hands of foreign races.
