"In the sixth year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo was conscripted by General He Jin and went to Beijing to fight against the ten permanent servants. When encountering turmoil in Beijing, he made great contributions to saving the car in Beimang Mountain and began to take power."

"Dong Zhuo recruited Lu Bu, killed Ding Yuan, greatly increased his strength, abolished Han Shaodi and Empress Dowager He, and supported Han Xiandi Liu Xie as the grand master."

"Dong Zhuo chose famous scholars such as Cai Yong to arbitrarily rule the government, and his power shook the world. In the first year of Chuping, he was attacked by the Kwantung Allied Forces organized by Yuan Shao, and was defeated by Sun Jian. He retreated to Chang'an and proclaimed himself Prime Minister."

"Dong Zhuo conferred the title of Marquis of Mei, spread his cronies widely, and summoned three platforms. In the third year of Chuping, Situ Wang Yun used a countermeasure and was killed by his subordinate Lu Bu."

The beginning of the Three Kingdoms is inseparable from one person, that is Dong Zhuo.

How did this "civilian" with a bad reputation in history, narrow-minded, suspicious and brutal, move towards the center of power step by step, and how did he dig holes all the way to harm himself?

It is said that when Dong Zhuo was wandering in the countryside when he was young, he picked up a knife from a remote place. There was no engraving on the knife surface.

But the clouds and mist above are very special, shadowy and imposing, and this knife can cut anything without any effort.

Dong Zhuo took it home when he saw it. Later, he met Cai Yong. Dong Zhuo showed it to him. After careful inspection, Cai Yong concluded that it was the precious sword Xiang Yu once used!

In ancient times, folk rumors said that whoever can get Xiang Yu's sword will win the world, and Dong Zhuo was ecstatic.

But Dong Zhuo and Xiang Yu's characters are too far apart, even if there is a will, it is estimated that God will make a mistake.

Dong Zhuo's family is in Min County in the northwest, a very wealthy family in the local area. Dong Zhuo was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he was born very big and three rough. The local people are [-]% afraid of him.

People say that the Qiang people in the Northwest are brutal and fierce, so Dong Zhuo decided to go meet for a while. The Qiang people who have been hunting and nomadic for a living did not expect to meet Dong Zhuo, who is more terrifying than wolves.

Dong Zhuo is rich, and the local nobles of the Qiang nationality are all courteous, and he himself is very powerful, likes to ride and shoot, and looks fierce enough to eat people.

The villain's appearance really bluffed the local Qiang people. In the northwest area, Dong Zhuo was very happy.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo also knows how to buy people's hearts, and he is very generous to the Qiang people by taking advantage of the fact that he has a mine in his home.

As long as someone from the Qiang nationality comes to visit, a large number of cattle and sheep will be slaughtered, and jewelry will be presented as a standard for welcoming guests.

Gradually, although the Qiang people also feared Dong Zhuo's ferocity, they were even more inseparable from the gold, silver and jewelry he provided. Therefore, the entire Qiang people began to be controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's reputation as "chivalry, righteousness and courage" spread far and wide, and some villains who lost in the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty also went to seek refuge.

For these people, Dong Zhuo never refused to come, and they were all under his command, and the arrival of these people also brought Dong Zhuo a lot of news from the court.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was already unable to do what it wanted.

This aroused Dong Zhuo's ambition.

If Dong Zhuo could really use his influence in the Qiang people to help the Eastern Han Dynasty stabilize the regime, then there would be no stories about Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao.

Ordinary people at that time could live a stable life for decades, but once a person has ambition, especially a capable person, it will change the pattern of an era, and Dong Zhuo is like this.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs in the imperial court monopolized power, and the emperor was young and had no deterrent power. At that time, the uncle of the country, He Jin, was in power and commanded randomly, killing each other with the eunuchs.

At the time of the stalemate, a large-scale riot broke out among the Qiang people in the northwest, and the Eastern Han regime was in dire straits. They also heard that Dong Zhuo had a good relationship with the Qiang people, so they begged Dong Zhuo to come forward to suppress it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Dong Zhuo went to the Qiang people in the northwest, he settled down a lot, so Dong Zhuo was promoted continuously, and he was once a doctor.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's political cells were activated, and he found a quick way to win the central government.

That is, by controlling the Qiang people and the northwest region, the Eastern Han regime can gradually compromise with itself, and at the same time expand its own team and incorporate the Liangzhou army.

Under such a central guiding ideology, Dong Zhuo's self-organized army has become more and more numerous, and a large part of them are from Liangzhou and Qiang ethnic minorities, and they fought fiercely.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo won several battles and pressed Luoyang City step by step.

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo had already shown signs of decadence. Although on the surface he was going smoothly, his cruelty could be revealed in many incidents.

For example, in terms of managing the army, Dong Zhuo has no management ability at all, and his army is in chaos.

Since they were recruited by people from all walks of life, the soldiers refused to accept each other, and they were divided into several gangs. When there was no war, the internal strife was very serious.

Furthermore, since most of Liangzhou's troops are ethnic minorities, they have lived outside the customs for a long time, with barbaric characters and cruel behaviors.

After entering the Central Plains, they burned, killed, plundered and mutilated women all the way, and countless families were wiped out under the iron cavalry.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo's corpses were already strewn all over the way when he entered Luoyang, and the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no hope of survival.

But Dong Zhuo needed the Liangzhou army, and naturally he would not suppress the Liangzhou soldiers because of the lives of these people, so Dong Zhuo's cruelty spread among the people at once.

What's even more exaggerated is that after entering Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo himself showed an extremely brutal side.

After taking control of the regime, Dong Zhuo began to mutilate court officials who had dissatisfaction with him.

One day, Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet for all the officials, and the officials who knew Dong Zhuo were trembling, wondering if this meal could be considered a "Hongmen Banquet".

In the middle of the meal, Dong Zhuo suddenly said that he would bring a special performance to the officials.

This performance actually gathers officials and soldiers who disagree with him and opposes him in the center of the banquet hall, binds them up, cuts off their tongues, hands and feet on the spot.

The vivid and bloody scene made the officials present vomit and tremble with fear.

Dong Zhuo was very proud of seeing everyone's fearful appearance, thinking that such a method could control people's hearts.

Chapter 131

But Dong Zhuo was actually digging a hole for himself, without establishing prestige and peaceful rule, even Cao Cao was resentful.

The separatist forces of all parties are ready to move, and the political power they have finally seized is already in jeopardy.

However, Dong Zhuo is still immersed in the majesty established by "cruelty".

After Dong Zhuo took power, he promulgated a series of political measures, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that these measures were aimed at ordinary people who were unarmed.

If someone with money and power made a mistake, as long as he negotiated with Dong Zhuo, these punishments could be completely avoided.

But if ordinary people make mistakes, they will be beheaded and their property confiscated in minutes. Dong Zhuo ruled a dynasty with a villain's heart, how could it last for a long time?

The economy was also in chaos. Although the court was powerless at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, at least the people could still maintain food and clothing.

Dong Zhuo's chaotic insertion made the common people have no chance of survival, not to mention food and clothing.

Dong Zhuo violently confiscated all the five baht coins in circulation in the market and replaced them with copper coins of smaller weight. Inflation reached its peak in an instant, and it took tens of thousands of copper coins to buy a bag of rice.

The people in Luoyang City are living in dire straits, their hearts have been subverted, and it is time for Dong Zhuo to step down soon.

Dong Zhuo was finally killed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun.

At the last moment, Dong Zhuo still placed his hope of life on Lu Bu, a "good son", but he did not expect that Lu Bu was the final fatal blow.

It has to be said that Dong Zhuo's life was full of legends, and it was also the times that gave him opportunities.

A local wealthy family with courage, tyranny and tyranny was able to control the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is also due to the failure of the court's rule in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
