The World of Yellow Sky

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and quelled the Nanzhong Rebellion.

But in fact, it was Nanzhong's powerful family that really caused the rebellion.

Most of the tribes in southern Xinjiang are concentrated in Yongchang County. The Yong family is a common surname in Yizhou. ,

Yongkai (yōng, kǎi), a member of the Yong clan, secretly encouraged the people of Yizhou County and killed Zheng Ang, the governor of Yizhou County. In order to get the post of governor of Yizhou County, he sent envoys to deal with various places, and secretly colluded with Sun Quan .

Yong Kai was domineering in Jianning and acted recklessly. The guard Li Yan wrote six letters to Yong Kai, explaining the benefits and harms, and advising Yong Kai.

Yong Kai received six letters from Li Yan advising him, but only replied to one, and his attitude can be said to be simply reckless.

Said: "Gai heard that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth. Today, there are three kings in Zhengshuo, so people far away are confused and don't know where to go."

"Han-Jin Spring and Autumn" records that Liu Bei defeated Yiling, and Yong Kai saw the emptiness inside the Shu Han during this time period, so he rebelled against the Han. Meng Huo and other tribes in southern Xinjiang gathered and followed.

Yong Kai secretly descended to Wu, and Wu Yao appointed Yong Kai as the prefect of Yongchang.

Yongchang County is in the west of Yizhou County, the roads are congested, and it is isolated from the hinterland of Yizhou, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Yong Kai thought that Yiling, the Shu Han, was newly defeated, and that he had a strong army and horses, and no one could do anything to him.

But I didn't want Zhuge Liang to send his troops to the south and advance together in three directions, and put down the rebellion in Nanzhong with a crushing force.

Because of this battle, the various tribes in the southern lands also worshiped Zhuge Liang as a god, and even in later generations, there are still stories of Zhuge Wuhou in various places in southern Xinjiang.

Xu An is naturally very familiar with the rebellion that broke out in Yizhou Nanzhong.

The Nanzhong rebellion in history was mainly based on the three counties of Yongchang County, Yuejuan County, and Zangcang County in Nanjiang, so Xu An's relocation of Yizhou Yellow Turban Army also mostly moved to these three counties.

Most of these Yellow Turban soldiers left their hometowns. Although they were county residents in the northern part of Yizhou, they lost all their land and ancestral properties. Therefore, Xu An wanted to move them to the southern part of Yizhou, and said that they would develop military settlements and distribute When they were in the farmland, they didn't show any resistance.

Although it is difficult to leave their homeland, they have already left their homeland for an unknown amount of time, and what they really want now is to survive.

Many of them are actually unwilling to join the army to fight, but the world does not want them to live an ordinary life, forcing them to embark on the road of resistance.

In order to encourage immigrants, Xu An also offered a lot of preferential policies. In order to make the hundreds of thousands of Yizhou Yellow Turbans willing to move to the three counties in southern Xinjiang, Xu An expressly stated that they would not be charged any taxes for three years.

As soon as the decree came out, the inner resistance of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army weakened again, so they obeyed Xu An's arrangement and entered the three counties in southern Xinjiang with the sheriffs arranged by Taiping Road in the three counties.

The Yellow Turban Army is now divided into four ranks.

The first level refers to the troops directly under the leadership of Xu An, such as military soldiers and elite soldiers, because they are directly led by Xu An, so they are also called "Tao Army".

The second level refers to the soldiers in the military area, known as the "main army".

The third level is the garrison troops left behind in various places.called the "garrison"

The fourth level is the soldiers of various military stations.called "garrison"

This time the Yellow Turban Army attacked Yizhou. Apart from the Dao army led by Xu An, there were also many regular troops and garrison troops.

Xu An dispatched three garrison troops of 2000 people to follow the prefects of the three counties into the three counties of southern Xinjiang to stabilize the situation and prevent possible rebellions in the counties of southern Xinjiang.

In addition to relocating the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army to the three counties in southern Xinjiang, Xu An also issued recruitment documents in various places in Yizhou, recruiting people from all over Yizhou to go to the three counties in southern Xinjiang for military settlements.

Because there are a large number of Nanman tribes in the three counties of southern Xinjiang, they are quite special and not suitable for the implementation of civilian villages.

The military camps of the Yellow Turban Army also have to receive regular military training and can be equipped with spears and other weapons, but they don't have armor.

In fact, the garrison soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army are equivalent to the reserve soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army. They need to receive regular training and can also participate in the assessment. Those who excel in the assessment can be upgraded and join the sequence of the garrison.

There is an assessment every three months in the Yellow Turban Army. Those who are good are promoted, those who are inferior are degraded, and those who are outstanding in the assessment can choose to upgrade.

Garrison - Garrison - Main Army - Dao Army, a soldier stationed in the army, in the best case, he can be called a member of the Dao Army after passing four assessments. Of course, this is the best situation.

As for the soldiers in the garrison army, the main army, and the Taoist army, if they don't want to be eliminated, they have to train hard and don't fall behind. As long as they are rated as the lowest in the two assessments, they will be demoted.

Although the promotion and demotion system in the Yellow Turban Army still has flaws and needs to be further improved, this simple system can guarantee the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army to a certain extent, and also provide a channel for the lower-level soldiers to rise.

There is no shortage of land in the three counties of southern Xinjiang, and the implementation of extensive military settlements in the land will allow Taiping Road to control the three counties faster and stabilize the situation in the three counties.

Most importantly, once the aristocratic families of the three counties in southern Xinjiang are dissatisfied, or are lobbied by the Han court or envoys from other parties, and want to launch a rebellion, the three counties arranged by Taipingdao can rely on their soldiers There are also troops from the three counties defending the city, thinking of defense, so that they will not be powerless in the face of rebellion.

The current strength of Taipingdao is not afraid of a rebellion in southern Xinjiang. Even if it is really like in history, the powerful family in Nanzhong unites with various ministries in southern Xinjiang to launch a rebellion, and the Yellow Turban Army can quickly extinguish it.

Now the Yellow Turban Army is in full swing, and has extensive experience in mountain warfare. Although the barbarians from various tribes in southern Xinjiang are brave, their military equipment is not sophisticated, even a generation behind.

And the powerful families in the three counties of southern Xinjiang were not strong enough to surpass the Yellow Turban Army.

The rebellion in Nanzhong, as long as the Yellow Turban Army fights steadily, it is only a matter of time before it wins.

However, if there is a rebellion, [-] will naturally be destroyed. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Sending troops to quell the rebellion will inevitably require a lot of money.

Therefore, Xu An filled the garrison and entered southern Xinjiang in order to stabilize the three counties in southern Xinjiang.

In the three counties of southern border, Taiping Dao has enough power, so that the powerful families in the three counties of southern border can't see the opportunity to take advantage of it, so they can cut off some thoughts that they shouldn't have in their hearts.

In addition to strengthening the power of the Taiping Dao, another decree is the real dredging of the bottom.

In the rebellion of the three counties in southern Xinjiang, although the powerful family is the leader, in fact, it is the various tribes of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang who have the most troops.

If the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were divided into parts, then only the powerful and powerful families would be left alone.

And at that time, it was the best time to take action against the powerful families in the three counties of southern Xinjiang.

If the land of Yizhou wants to have long-term peace and stability, then these powerful and deeply rooted powerful families cannot be left behind.

Most of the mines and forest farms in the hands of these powerful aristocratic families have been handed over, but in fact there must be many that have not been handed over. All of this will need to be counted by the Eagle Wolf Guard in the future.

The army is used to maintain stability, the police are used to maintain law and order, the wolf guards are used to patrol and inspect, the judiciary is used to implement laws and regulations, and preaching is used to gather people's hearts.

The chief envoy governs, is supervised by the procurator, and the guardian is safe for the people.

The implementation of these policies in the county states in the interior can make a place long-term and stable, and it will soon be brought under the rule of Taipingdao.

But it is not enough in southern Xinjiang. There are a large number of Yi tribes in Yongchang County. If you want to govern southern Xinjiang, you must solve the problem of Yi tribes.

The bottom line is to take these barbarian tribes for their own use, fundamentally cut off the possibility of rebellion, and isolate those powerful families in the southern border of Yizhou.

Chapter 723 A Hundred Wastes Are Waiting for Prosperity

Exploiting territories and lands was a very tempting word for the ancient feudal emperors.

Most of the emperors who were able to expand the territory left a good name in the history books and were respected by later generations.

Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zongming and Tang Zongming all had the merits of opening up territories.

Qin Shihuang won the government.

Taking the land of Baiyue in the south, I thought it was Guilin and Xiangjun; the monarch of Baiyue bowed his head and tied his neck, and commissioned his officials.

Meng Tian built the Great Wall in the north and guarded the fence, but the Huns were more than [-] miles away; the Hu people dared not go south to herd horses, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows and complain.

Tu Luntai, beheaded Yu Chengwang, Dawan nobles killed the king and surrendered.

Cheshi, Loulan, Xiqiang and other countries all surrendered and did not dare to disobey.

From the third year of Jianyuan (138 BC) to the fourth year of Zhenghe (89 BC), during the 49 years, the Han court conquered the Quartet, and none of the surrounding countries could resist the advance of the Han army.

Nanyue killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, Tu Wei was the nine prefectures, King Wan killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, Beique in Touxian, North Korea killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and immediately executed them.

During the reign of Emperor Wudi, the height, benefits, culture, and sceneries of the land were almost doubled, making China "enjoy its benefits for thousands of years", and the prestige of the Han court has reached its peak since then.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

The Tang army defeated the East Turks, the overlord in East Asia at that time, and established the status of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Then the Tang army conquered the Quartet, conquered Gaochang, Qiuci and Tuyuhun, destroyed Xue Yantuo, and severely damaged Goguryeo.

The King of Goguryeo asked his son Mo Lizhi to serve as a military officer to apologize.

The four towns of Anxi were established, which were called "Tian Khan" by the countries outside the Great Wall.

The 20th year of Zhenguan (646 years).

The Tang Dynasty established the Anbei Protectorate in Mobei, and the Shanyu Protectorate in Monan. At this time, the territory of the Tang Dynasty also reached its largest during the reign of Zhenguan.

The territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty extends from Luofu Prefecture (now Ha Tinh, Vietnam) in the south, Xuanque Prefecture (later renamed Yuwu Prefecture, today's Angara River area) in the north, and Anxi Prefecture (now Bukhara, Uzbekistan) in the west. , East Gewuzhou (now Jilin Tonghua).

The Ming army won more than 120 people, including the second son Dibaonu and the former prince Bili Tufei and Princess, including 15 officials and more than [-] men and women.

No need to spend an inch of troops to achieve its effect, the tribes in the northern border were frightened and did not dare to beat their edge.

The territories opened up by the dynasties were extensive, but in the end they were lost bit by bit, and the territory became smaller and smaller, gradually being eroded.

Part of this is due to the decline of national power and inconvenient transportation, which make it impossible for the forces of the Central Plains to quickly support the frontier, but more of it is actually a problem of local military affairs.

The strength of Han Ting and Wei Ting is not easy.

The unification of the world is a protracted battle in which the national power is fought, the army is fought, and the political system is compared.

Only when all people are united, the military is strong, and the national strength is strong will become the final winner and unify the world.

Taiping Dao now has a huge territory and a strong military force. There are nearly [-] Taoist and main troops, and hundreds of thousands of garrison and garrison troops.

Inside the Taiping Road, the top and bottom are united, and the hearts of the people are united.

It seems that the national power of Taipingdao is the most powerful among the three forces today.

But in fact, the Battle of Yizhou almost emptied nearly half of Taiping Road's treasury funds. Although there is still plenty of food and grass, in order to deal with possible natural disasters, they are now piled up in warehouses, and they dare not use them easily.

Taipingdao, which has a strong military force, has to pay a lot of military expenses. The current financial expenditure of Taipingdao is extremely uneven, and most of the expenditures are used for military affairs.

Taipingdao seems to be of one mind, but in fact it is complicated inside.

The Taoists of Taiping Dao are fine, but ordinary people and believers have different thoughts.

The concept of the fate of the Han family is deeply rooted in his mind, and it has been rooted for a long time, and it is difficult to eradicate.

Even in later generations, the braid in some people's hearts has not been cut off, and some people even try to go against the trend when the times are advancing, dreaming of the big dream of restoring the country and becoming the emperor.

The New Deal implemented by Taipingdao has indeed improved their lives, made their lives richer and more dignified.

But the foundation of Taipingdao in various places is not deep.

In the seventh year of Guanghe and the first year of Zhongping (184), the Yellow Turban Uprising has only been nine years, nearly ten years, until the fourth year of Chuping (193).

In the third year of Zhongping (186), Taipingdao liberated Bingzhou and Shangdang County.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), the Yellow Turban Army of Wangwu was attached, and Taipingdao defeated the Hedong Army and captured the Hedong County of Sili Xiaoweibu.

In the same year, the Southern Huns rebelled, and under the leadership of Xu An, Taipingdao defeated the Southern Huns and successfully entered Bingzhou.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), in the battle of Shuofang, the Yellow Turban Army defeated the Southern Huns, and Shuofang, Wuyuan and other counties were taken back and merged with the state.

In May, Xu An led the army to attack Shanggu County and Dai County in Youzhou, and the Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu was subordinated to them. The whole Taihang Mountains were captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

Since then, Taiping Road has entered a period of development, leading the Yellow Turban Army from the four prefectures into Bingzhou, constructing water conservancy projects in Bingzhou, encouraging commerce, and promoting farming.

It was not until August of the first year of Chuping (190) that Xu An sent troops again. The Yellow Turban Army attacked Liangzhou from three routes, beheaded Han Sui, and subdued Ma Teng.

In May of the second year of Chuping (191), the whole territory of Liangzhou was stable.

The Guanzhong area, which is now Zhongzhou, was only occupied by the Yellow Turban Army in the second half of the third year of Chuping (192).

Now it is the end of the fourth year of Chuping (193).

Taiping Road has occupied the entire territory of Bingzhou for only five years, occupied the entire territory of Liangzhou for only two years, and occupied Zhongzhou for only more than a year.

Although Taiping Dao has Fu Zhu preaching, the military power is at its peak, and the local farming system is implemented, the control and control of the local area is higher than that of Han Ting and Wei Ting, but there is still no way to divide Liangzhou and Zhongzhou in such a short period of time. Full control of both places.

The aristocratic and powerful families in Bingzhou are almost gone, and Bingzhou is the big state that has been influenced by the Taiping Road for the longest time. Therefore, the control of Bingzhou's local area can be said to be completely controlled by the Yellow Turban Army now.
