At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

The Yuyang camp noticed the smoke everywhere, and got the news from the messenger sent by Xian Yufu. When they learned of the rebellion, they immediately sent an army of [-] to Ji County to rescue Xian Yufu. The rest of the army split up and followed the smoke The rising direction galloped forward all the way.

At the same time that the riots broke out in Youzhou, there were also riots in Qingzhou.

Like Jizhou, Qingzhou also lost its governor.

The former governor, Mi Zhu, has served in Qingzhou for many years, and has always received everyone's support and trust. This time, Mi Zhu was directly taken down because of Guo Yang's affairs, and the whole Qingzhou had to bear the first wave of land attack.

Even the emperor's younger brother couldn't hide from the matter, and the Qingzhou tyrants were sure that they couldn't hide from it either.

Not to mention that over the years there have been some tyrants whose dirty land has been recorded in the accounts, even if they did not, they would face severe exploitation in the face of the imperial court's clear land and unified taxation.

For them, this is a dispute of core interests, a part that cannot be compromised or compromised at all. There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, just do it.

Qingzhou Haoqiang spontaneously contacted and organized spontaneously. After Mi Zhu was captured, Mi's family was investigated, and the guards stationed in Linzi, Qingzhou Haoqiang's riots also broke out.

But the result is similar.

As the place where Guo Peng started his family, Wei State was the first state to implement the village system and militia system, and Qingzhou's various facilities and organizations are also quite complete.

When the powerful rebels revolted and tried to attack the city and occupy the countryside, they were hit head-on by the rural militia.

The rural militia launched a resolute attack on the powerful rebels, hitting them everywhere and setting traps for them everywhere.

The militiamen from many villages and villages united to attack the back road, attacking the base camp of the powerful manor, and razing it when they attacked. Many rebels were still fighting outside, but their old nests had been destroyed.

The rebels have firmly learned the superiority and necessity of the militia system of the Wei Empire and the rural system, as well as its unshakable nature.

The regular army has not yet started to counter the rebellion, and the militia has already started to counterattack. When the regular army launched an offensive, the powerful rebels had been divided and surrounded and pinned down in certain key areas, unable to move.

Paper tiger, this is a real paper tiger.

It seems to be powerful, the scale is also large, and the strength is not bad, but once it is organized to rebel, it will still look like the end of the former Han Dynasty.

They thought that the combined forces of a county could create a small warlord to participate in the troubled times and stir up the wind and the rain.

They thought that the combination of powerful powers in a region could create an emperor and build a dynastic empire.

But the times have changed, and Wei State has completed the unification. This is a complete country, not a nihilistic political concept, and there is a price to be paid to fight against it.

There is no doubt that this is the last madness and struggle of the tyrants.

At the end of March in the ninth year of Yande, the Haoqiang rebellion in Jizhou began.

In early April of the ninth year of Yande, the powerful rebellion in Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou began.

In late April of the ninth year of Yande, rebellions occurred among the mighty Zongshuai in Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou.

In just one month, this wave of rebellion spread from the Liaodong region to the Jiangnan region, and powerful rebellions of different scales occurred in most of the Wei state.

There is no large-scale tandem, no unified leader, and the incident is almost spontaneous, but the time of the uprising is very close, and it is easy to suspect that they have tandem beforehand.

But no, basically every state's powerful rebellion is fighting on its own, and the reason for their rebellion is also because of the policy of clearing the land, not for any other reason.

However, the scale of this rebellion was so large that those who didn't know it thought it was the third Yellow Turban Uprising.

Rebellions ranged in intensity from strong to weak, and from large to small.

Among them, the rebellion of the strong and powerful in Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou was the most serious, and there were few in other areas.

These areas where the scale of the rebellion was relatively large were also areas that were not too severely damaged by the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Army.

As for areas that were more severely ravaged by the Yellow Turban Army, Xiliang Army, or other bandit armies, there was not much movement.

For example, the Guanzhong area, such as Liangzhou, such as Bingzhou, such as Yangzhou, such as Yuzhou and Yanzhou, are all victims of scourges, social relations are completely reset and shuffled, and there are only a handful of old tyrants who survived.

Even if there are veteran tyrants or new tyrants trying to do things in these areas, their strength is not enough at all, and they are quickly suppressed.

However, the five prefectures of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou were not completely torn apart due to various circumstances.

So the accumulated old and new contradictions broke out completely at this time.

Bingzhou is simply a small population, and has experienced many wars. The powerful and weak forces no longer exist, so there is no accident, and Jizhou and Youzhou are all caused by the powerful left over from the Yuan Shao era.

At that time, Mr. Guo was not strong enough, and without the help of the Yellow Turban Army, he could only acquiesce in the existence of this phenomenon, resulting in incomplete liquidation.

The tyrants in Jizhou and Youzhou have almost controlled 40.00% of the cultivated land in the two states, until now.

Therefore, it is natural for them to rebel and rebel, and to use force to demonstrate to the court to demand policies, and Guo is not surprised at all.

Qingzhou is purely because Guo took office earlier and did not give the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans a longer time to develop, so that the Yellow Turbans did not clean up the local powerful forces thoroughly, leaving hidden dangers.

This is also unavoidable.

At that time, in order to expand the territory as soon as possible and establish influence to join the troubled world, Guo had no time to settle the matter, so he could only acquiesce.

The situation in Xuzhou and Jingzhou is similar. The conflict between the locals and the foreign rulers was overwhelmed by Guo’s external pressure. some forces.

For example, Donghai County in Xuzhou, Pengcheng County, etc., as well as Nanyang County and Nanjun County in Jingzhou, are all private plots of local poor and powerful landlords, the kind that Mr. Guo is not easy to intervene in.

So they all belong to the category of incomplete liquidation.

The liquidation was not thorough back then, and such a problem has erupted now. For Guo, this is actually nothing, and it is not surprising.

However, the problem that should have been solved in the first year of Yande was delayed until the ninth year of Yande, so that such a thing happened, in the eyes of Guo, it was an excellent excuse.

An excellent excuse to make a final blow to the power of the powerful manor.

If you don't rebel, it's not easy to start. If you rebel, no matter how much the elites in the court want to say, it's useless unless they admit that they are also rebels.

Now, they are forced to support Guo Peng's rebellion in all aspects, support Qingzhang's land policy in all aspects, and are willing to hand over their family's land to Qingzhang Guo and pay taxes in exchange for Guo Peng's mercy on their subordinates.

As for most of the rest of the rebels...

It's not good to provoke anyone, but Guo Peng.

Have a good meal.

chapter 1283 one thousand one ninety three don't challenge the next possibility

Facing the truth about the demons dancing wildly under Qingzhang's land, Guo Peng was furious in Luoyang.

He resolutely held Han Hao and Mi Zhu accountable, asked how they governed Jizhou and Qingzhou, and almost ordered them to be beheaded.

It was all due to the seniority of the two, the courtiers tried their best to save them, and begged Guo Peng to spare them.

For example, Cao Cao mentioned on the table that Han Hao volunteered to serve Guo Peng when Lu Bu invaded Yanzhou.

This matter had nothing to do with Han Hao, but Han Hao admired Guo Peng's reputation, and ran from Hanoi County to Cao Cao who was stationed in Dong County to inform Cao Cao of the matter, which put Cao Cao on guard, and later volunteered to lead troops to resist Lu Bu's army , He has made military exploits and is so loyal, such a good man should not be killed.

Guo Jia also mentioned that Mi Zhu took the initiative to serve Guo Peng after the fact that his status was not very high. Over the years, Mi's caravan has made a lot of money for Guo Peng and made great contributions. Such credit should not be obliterated.

In this way, Guo Pengcai reluctantly decided not to kill the two of them.

But at the same time, Qingzhang's land team reported their findings to Guo Peng.

They said that the Han Hao family had invaded and annexed land in Hanoi County, and the Mi Zhu family had invaded and annexed land in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

There are still many.

The Han Hao family occupied more than [-] mu of land in Hanoi County, and the Mi Zhu family occupied more than [-] mu of land in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which seriously damaged the cause of farming in Qingzhou and Hanoi County.

Guo Peng didn't know about this before.

Guo Peng was even more angry.

This time he didn't want to hold back.

He ordered the former prefect of Hanoi County to be held accountable and executed, and reprimanded the current prefect. Nianqi actively cooperated with Qingzhang's team, admitted his mistakes in time, and stayed in his post temporarily.

He ordered the execution of the former prefect of Donghai County in Xuzhou, and reprimanded the current prefect because he did not help Qingzhang's team and performed poorly, so he was dismissed immediately.

He also ordered Han Hao and Mi Zhu to be beheaded for public display as a deterrent.

The ministers begged again.

They asked Guo Peng to remember that Han Hao and Mi Zhu didn't know about their tribe's reckless actions, and they had made great contributions to the Wei Empire during their tenure, so that they could be spared the death penalty.

Some people even said that Han Hao was fine, Mi Zhu was a relative of the emperor after all, considering Mrs. Mi's service for many years, and Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang died for state affairs in the past, Mi Zhu's life should be spared no matter what.

Guo Jia went to the table again, saying that Han Hao and Mi Zhu were indeed at fault, because they did not prevent Guo Yanghe from annexing the land. Killing would cause panic and would be detrimental to the rule of the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng thought over and over again, considering the need for stability in the political situation, decided to spare the two men, and finally did not order the beheading.

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

Han Hao and Mi Zhu were abolished as commoners, their family property was confiscated and returned to the public, and the whole family moved to live in Yin, Henan, and they were not allowed to return to their original places to live.

In addition, members of the Han family and other branches of the Mi family who invaded the fields will be beheaded, and all members of the branch will be sent to the frontier to work as coolies.

Spare the two, but not spare their clansmen, and hold everyone accountable.

Even the Mi family, even the relatives of the emperor, cannot escape.

The only pity is that their descendants were not imprisoned to take the imperial examinations, leaving them with hope for the future.

This can be regarded as Guo Peng's extrajudicial favor.

The emperor was truly merciless, even Han Hao and Mi Zhu, veteran ministers who had been officials for many years, could not escape, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were deeply shocked.

They gave up their fantasy one after another and chose to surrender to reality.

He can't fight, Guo Peng has the support of the army, and he can't fight, everyone is cowardly.

So at the end of April, the will of the central court was unified.

All private lands of more than [-] mu in the homes of officials in the court should be reported to the emperor, and kept in the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Cabinet Audit Department for future reference.

The Cao family, the Xiahou family, the Tian family, the Qiao family, the Cai family and other families closely related to the royal family, all disclosed their gold and silver properties, fields and houses to the court, and honestly explained the number and source of the land, including whether there was any merger Suspicion of the land, etc.

Be lenient when you confess, and stricter when you resist. If you don’t confess now, once the emperor finds out, you will be executed immediately. The family members will sit together and show no mercy!

Guo Peng gave the court officials seven days to tell them honestly, and those who announced their confession would be dealt with leniently, and those who did not confess were immediately beheaded.

Shocked by the bloody killing intent, many officials from the DPRK and China reported to Guo Peng the history and results of their family and clan annexation of the land, pleaded guilty to Guo Peng, and asked for punishment.

On the one hand, Guo Peng asked Qingzhang's land team to verify these things, and on the other hand, he began to deal with the powerful rebellion incidents reported by various places.

Don't look at the rebellion reports flying to Luoyang like snowflakes. In fact, most of them are good news and credit.

It is said that this county wiped out the powerful rebels, that county wiped out the powerful manor, how many powerful people were killed in this county, and how many strong family properties were confiscated in that county, etc.

Therefore, the central court was not shocked, and Guo Peng himself was not disturbed at all. He sent some central guard troops to Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jingzhou to counter the rebellion and liquidate.

Then he sat on the Diaoyutai, staying motionless in Luoyang, waiting for news.

In fact, many officials were also puzzled and shocked, how could such a large-scale and large-scale rebellion really not shake the foundation of the Wei Empire.

The emperor didn't panic at all, the court was not in chaos at all, everyone followed the order to clear up the land accounting books, and the army didn't send out a few, but the good news flew back like snowflakes.

fake?

No, who would dare?

Especially this kind of thing that will lose your head.

Well, is this true?

There are so many troops in the place?

On the contrary, some people recalled the militia system officially promoted by Guo Peng a few years ago, and wondered whether it was due to the militia system in disbelief.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Wei Jun didn't dispatch, and the good news from that place just flew over.

It didn't look like a large-scale rebellion spreading across the country, but rather a large-scale gala.

A live performance show of local officials' ability to govern the counter-insurgency, from which excellent counter-insurgency officials are selected.

In the pre-Han period, even a small-scale rebellion in a very distant place would shake the court. The emperor asked for advice, selected generals and dispatched generals, and wrangled over military expenses.

This time it obviously affected so many states and counties, and the momentum was huge. It seemed that the whole world was shaking, but in fact, it seemed that there was no disturbance.

It's not normal, really, it's not normal.

But at this moment, they didn't pay too much attention to counter-insurgency incidents. They paid more attention to how the emperor would deal with those officials who committed the crime of embezzling and annexing land.

Is there another wave of general demotion?

Before, the emperor dismissed more than 2000 scholars from their official positions in one breath, and beat them so hard that they could not stand up. This fear has not dissipated.

People were in a state of panic, and many people were in a state of anxiety, anxiously waiting for the emperor to deal with them.

Many people have really told the truth, but they don't know what the end of telling the truth will be.
