Since the " Yellow Turban Uprising ", Han Lingdi has begun to care about military affairs. The Han Lingdi military parade mentioned in the previous article happened after the "Yellow Turban Uprising".
In order to strengthen the military power directly under the imperial court, Emperor Ling of Han established the Eighth School Captains of Xiyuan in 188 AD, with Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo as the captain of the upper army, Hu Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao as the captain of the Central Army, Tunqi School Captain Bao Hong as the captain of the Xia Army, Yilang Cao Cao as the captain of the Dianjun, etc.
This army was led by Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo directly obeyed Emperor Ling of Han. It can be said that the Eight Celestial Army of Xiyuan was the direct imperial guard of Emperor Ling of Han.
With this army, Emperor Ling of Han ordered the general He Jin to be under the command of Jian Shuo.
Established the Eight Crown Army of Xiyuan. Emperor Ling of Han clearly told everyone that I was going to withdraw military power. Regardless of the past, present, or future, the emperor will always be the strongest military power.
It may also be that Emperor Ling of Han also realized that Yuan Shao's entry into He Jin's shogunate meant that the gentry and relatives formed an alliance. He instinctively felt that the imperial power was threatened, so in the case of local rebellions and the political imbalance of Luoyang, the Eight-Capital Army of Xiyuan was established to weaken the power of General He Jin.
Not long after, Emperor Ling of Han made two more deployments:
promoted the Wei Wei Dong Chong to General of the Cavalry.
I want to change the second son of the emperor Liu Xie as the heir.
Dong Chong is the nephew of Emperor Ling of Han Empress Dowager Dong . He belongs to the family of relatives who are no less than He's family, and Liu Xie was raised by Empress Dowager Dong. The two deployments of
, coupled with the decision of Emperor Ling of Han to entrusting Liu Xie to Jian Shuo, the meaning is very obvious. means to use the Dong family as the leader of the foreign relatives and Jian Shuo as the leader of the eunuch, and jointly assist Liu Xie to eliminate the danger of alliance between the Yuan family and the He family’s foreign relatives.
Emperor Ling of Han knew very well that only by forming an alliance between foreign relatives and eunuchs, he could defend the imperial power. No matter which one he took out alone, he was not a match for the gentry.
It can be said that in order to protect the imperial power, Emperor Ling of Han has done his best.
But manpower is irreversible. Those grievances that have accumulated over a hundred years will always come to a liquidation. It is inevitable that leaders with great talent and strategy will be avoided, let alone Emperor Ling of Han who is a man.
In April 189 AD, Emperor Ling of Han died in Jiade Hall.
According to the will of Emperor Ling of Han, Jian Shuo, the eunuch of the Xiyuan Army, was preparing to kill He Jin and annex the army first, control most of the armed forces in Luoyang, and then support Liu Xie with Dong Chong.
So Jian Shuo sent someone to ask He to enter the palace to discuss matters. At that time, the cup was thrown as a sign, and the sword and axe hand rushed up to kill He Jin.
But Jian Shuo's intelligence work was too poor. He didn't know that Sima Pan Yin was He Jin's old acquaintance. When He Jin entered the palace with a confused look on his face, Pan Yin shook his eyebrows at He Jin.
He Jin slapped his head, something was wrong, so he quickly replied.
He Jin left the palace, and Jian Shuo completely lost the opportunity to kill He Jin, and the throne could not be vacant for a long time. Then the eldest son of the emperor Liu Bian naturally succeeded to the throne, appointed Yuan Wei as the Grand Tutor, and recorded the affairs of the Shangshuo together with the General He Jin, and Empress Dowager He was in charge of the dynasty.
At this time, the situation in Eastern Han Dynasty was exactly the same as the periods of Chen Fan , Dou Wu and Empress Dowager Dou. The only difference between is that there are now two relatives and two armies in Luoyang.
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
He Jin wants to be a general with real power, and must get rid of Jian Shuo and Dong Chong. In order to realize the ambitions of the Yuan clan of Runan, he must first assist He Jin in depriving Jian Shuo of military power, and then use He Jin to kill the eunuchs and lose the checks and balances of eunuchs. He Jin is just a tool that can be thrown away at will.
killed Jian Shuo very smoothly.
Jian Shuo claimed that he had received the exact news that He Jin and the gentry wanted to join forces to kill the eunuchs, and persuade other eunuchs to follow the story 20 years ago, trick He into entering the palace and take action first.
But Guo Sheng, who chose Empress Dowager He to the palace, thought he had kindness to He, so he discussed with other eunuchs: "We have invested in He for so many years. Isn't it a loss to kill He Jin now? Keep He to form an alliance with his relatives. What are the benefits of listening to Jian Shuo?"
Human nature seeks profit and avoids harm. From the perspective of human nature, Guo Sheng is right.
So the eunuch and He Jin joined forces to kill Jian Shuo and annexed the Eighth School Army of Xiyuan led by Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo became the eunuch's letter of fame to He Jinna.
Then He Jin submitted a memorial: "The queen of the vassal state cannot stay in the capital, please move her back to her country." The memorial was sent back to the Secretariat, and He Jin and Yuan Wei personally stamped a large seal, and the memorial to exclude Empress Dowager Dong took effect, and the relatives of the Dong family lost their legal power.
One month later, Empress Dowager Dong died suddenly and Dong Chong was dismissed from the official and committed suicide.
Less than a month after Emperor Ling of Han passed away, his political layout collapsed completely, and Luoyang became the world of the He family's relatives and the Yuan family's gentry.
All obstacles have been eliminated, and the planning of the gentry will take the most critical step.
2.
In fact, when He Jin and Yuan Weigang were in charge of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao advised He Jin to imitate the story of Chen Fan and Dou Wu 20 years ago, and raise an army "kill all the eunuchs."
Note that Yuan Shao's proposal is still to kill all the eunuchs, leaving no room for anything.
Is there any opinion of the Taifu Yuan Wei in html? It is not mentioned in the history books, but I tend to discuss it with Yuan Shao and Yuan Wei.
A political family that "four generations and three officials, disciples and old officials all over the world" has a big impact on their bodies. It is impossible for the boss Yuan Wei to escape if he launches a coup.
So Yuan Shao advised He Jin to kill eunuchs, which was actually the consensus of the Eastern Han gentry. From Chen Fan to Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao, this consensus has never changed.
There is a saying called "The greatest respect is to kill everyone." Judging from the consensus of the gentry against eunuchs, it is enough to show how powerful the eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty were and how strong the hatred of the gentry towards eunuchs was.
However, after both Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Chong died, He Jin still had no intention of launching a coup.
is actually normal.
Queen Mother He and He Jin started their business with eunuchs, which is equivalent to entrepreneurs receiving venture capital for more than ten years. Now He Jin is in power, which means he has just ringed the bell and went public. As an investor, the eunuch is preparing to enjoy dividends. He Jin, the entrepreneur, is going to kick it away?
From an emotional perspective, He Jin will definitely find it difficult to make up his mind. From the perspective of actual interests, can all the eunuchs be destroyed, and can the aristocrats be reliable?
But Yuan Shao is not in a hurry, he has a killer weapon.
Yuan Shao was very tempted to He Jin:
"In the past, Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuch but died, one was because of the leak of intelligence, and the other was because the imperial guards were afraid of eunuchs. Now the general is in control of the army, and the situation is in control. It should eliminate troubles for the world and be famous for future generations."
The focus of Yuan Shao's words is not to be famous for future generations. He Jin, as a son of the Tu family, doesn't care about this at all. The key point that really touched He Jin was that Yuan Shao pointed out Dou Wu.
Dou Wu is a descendant of the founding hero. His family forces are intricate and he was still scouted by eunuchs to destroy his family. How many tricks do you have? Can you guarantee that the eunuchs won’t attack you?
If you want to preserve your current glory and wealth, you have to take the initiative to do it first and completely kill the eunuchs. After all, the gentry and relatives of the foreigners have no grudges.
Later, many people said that He Jin was a brainless fool. After hearing Yuan Shao's words, he was ready to kill the eunuchs, but Dong Zhuo was cheaper.
But the problem is that Aristocrats can live in vain under the tyranny of eunuchs, and the empress dowager can live in peace with eunuchs, but the general He Jin can't do it. If the eunuch wants to kill his relatives, the first one is He Jin. There are at least 4 such precedents in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Think from the perspective of others, What would happen if you were He Jin and thought of Dou Wu’s ending? Do you work with the gentry to kill eunuchs, or do you put your life and death on eunuchs?
I think most people will choose to take the opportunity to turn bicycles into motorcycles, join forces with the gentry to kill eunuchs, save their lives first, and talk about what happened in the future.
He Jin also thinks so.
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, he immediately made up his mind and went to the palace to advise Empress Dowager He: "Please all the subordinates of Zhongchangshi, and use the subordinates of the subordinates to make up for their positions." He demanded that the eunuchs below the subordinates of Zhongchangshi be removed and the subordinates of the subordinates of the subordinates be removed and the affairs of the palace were handled.
He Jin has his own concerns, and Empress Dowager He also has a position, saying that she is the vassal of the late emperor, so how can she have close contact with the scholars and officials all day long? This does not comply with the rules.
In a word, eunuchs cannot be killed.
The reason why the He brother and sister's position is different is that the eunuch cannot stab Queen He in the first place. The most important thing is that Queen He's sister married the eunuch Zhang Rang 's son.
In other words, Empress Dowager He and the eunuch leader are in-laws.
With the bondage of marriage, the community of interests is settled. He Jin wanted to break up the layout of interests for so many years in just one sentence, which is obviously a bit whimsical.
In the final analysis, He Jin is worried that he will die like Dou Wu and the clan will be destroyed. Empress Dowager He wants to continue the interest structure for many years. They are all relatives, but their core interests are different.
The interests are different, and the positions are naturally different.
He Jin retreated and sought second best, asking Empress Dowager He to kill the guilty eunuchs, but Yuan Shao disagreed with He Jin's opinion and firmly demanded that all eunuchs be killed like Chen Fan. The words used were the same:
"The middle-aged official is close to the supreme, and the cashier's orders are not abolished now, and he will be troubled later."
The relatives and gentry were both afraid of the bloody politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And Empress Dowager He still said the same thing, eunuchs cannot be killed, and He Jin's opinion is wrong.
The aristocrats accumulated a hundred years of strength, and the Yuan family in Runan planned a career for 20 years. How could it be that the Empress Dowager stopped because he did not give in? So Yuan Shao put forward the notorious opinion:
"recruited generals and heroes from all directions, and led troops to the capital to threaten the empress dowager."
recruited troops from other places to enter Beijing, and the troops from other places were very likely to control the capital, resulting in the power of the central court falling behind and even changing the dynasty. However, Yuan Shao made this suggestion based on his own position.
First of all, eunuchs have been in Luoyang for a hundred years, and they are also mixed. They have a large number of people in the palace, army, and court, so " Five Battalions soldiers are all afraid of the people who are submissive." Using the imperial guards to kill eunuchs is very likely to be attacked like Dou Wu and Chen Fan.
Secondly, Empress Dowager He disagreed with the execution of the eunuchs, and the relatives of He may not be able to count on him, and Yuan Shao was ready to do it himself.
Last but not least, Yuan Shao is confident that he can control the army in other places.
After all, the Yuan family of Runan was a family of the three ministers of the fourth generation. It has been at the core of power for a hundred years. The leader of the foreign army recruited is likely to be the former disciple of Yuan. Even if he is not a direct disciple, through a huge network of contacts, he can always be related.
Step back ten thousand steps, the foreign army recruited had nothing to do with the Yuan family, but there were only a few thousand generals at that time. Do you think the family of the fourth generation and the three ministers would be afraid of a lieutenant, and the family of the standing committee members for generations would be afraid of a brigade commander?
Yuan Shao felt that recruiting troops from other places to Beijing would win almost 100%.
From the current point of view, Yuan Shao is a real political expert. He used Dou Wu's story to constantly stimulate He Jin, arousing He Jin's suspicion, which led to He Jin's lack of care for nothing in order to kill the eunuchs and save his life.
Later advisers of the Three Kingdoms could use human nature to this level and count it with one hand.
When He Jin heard Yuan Shao's promise, he issued an order to Hedong Dong Zhuo, Wu Meng's Duwei Ding Yuan, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao and others, asking them to lead troops into Beijing and be a big vote.
Everything is going as planned, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth, and the color of thousands of miles of rivers is about to change.
But Yuan Shao did not expect that he was using foreign troops to complete the century-old plan, and foreign troops were also waiting for the opportunity to realize their ambitions.
When you look into the abyss, the abyss is also looking back at you.
3.
Dong Zhuo received the order from He Jin and marched very fast. He wrote a letter to the court while walking, scolding the eunuchs for causing trouble in the country and demanding that the eunuchs be punished to be cleared.
A memorial was written by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao reached a united front.
But there is a problem. Before Emperor Ling of Han passed away, he summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing and became the young mansion of one of the nine ministers. He was responsible for managing the emperor's private property. Dong Zhuo refused to say that the army could not live without him. Later, he asked him to be the governor of Bingzhou and handed over the army to Huangfu Song , but Dong Zhuo did not obey orders.
The emperor didn't even summon him to Luoyang, and He Jin ordered Dong Zhuo to go. What's the problem?
In fact, the truth is hidden in the details of history.
Sima Guang records in " Zizhi Tongjian ": "Wu Kuang, He Jin's army, then led his troops to attack and kill the Miaozi." There is a point in the sentence "
" - Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min is the Fengche wei.
Fengche Duwei is a high-ranking official with a rank of 2,000 stones. He is the same as Ban Chao's Western Regions Protector and Yuan Shao's Sili School Captain. He is affiliated with Guangluxun and is responsible for managing the emperor's vehicles and travel affairs, similar to the current deputy director of the General Office.
is in this core position, and Dong Min is very well-informed, such as what happened in the palace, what is the situation in Luoyang, how the emperor's body is, etc., and they can all be known quickly.
, and Dong Zhuo stationed in Hedong County is now Yuncheng, Shanxi, not far from Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo did not obey the imperial edict of Emperor Ling of Han. Did he receive the news from Dong Min and make a judgment that he is self-respecting? Dong Zhuo rushed to Luoyang after He Jin's order. Did he receive news from Dong Min and decide to go to Luoyang to get the chestnut?
This is very likely.
Dong Zhuo's approach also shows that other foreign troops entering Luoyang may completely obey the arrangements of the Yuan family in Runan, but Dong Zhuo had a premeditation in entering Luoyang.
His premeditation will be revealed at the moment of seeing the emperor.
Yuan Shao calculated everything, but he did not count that Dong Zhuo was a warlord with thoughts and political ambitions.
Dong Zhuo rushed to Mianchi . Because the speed was too fast, He Jin's suspicion - something abnormal must be true. What is the old guy who is so anxious to come to Luoyang? He sent a counselor, Shao , to order Dong Zhuo to stop moving forward.
Dong Zhuo resisted the order again and went straight to Henan County.
It is precisely because Dong Zhuo's reaction is so abnormal that I judged that there must be an unknown connection between Dong Zhuo and Dong Min. All Dong Zhuo's actions were based on the situation in Luoyang conveyed by Dong Min.
. Yuan Shao was afraid that He Jin would regret it, so he used to "become a long time, and become Dou's family again." 's words stimulated He Jin, and used his suspicion to control He Jin. At the same time, in the name of He Jin, he ordered Dong Zhuo and other generals to move forward quickly.
As Dong Zhuo's army advanced to Luoyang, things were completely out of He Jin's control, but they walked step by step towards the most satisfactory result of Yuan Shao.
In August 189 AD, Empress Dowager He was afraid that foreign troops would enter Beijing to threaten the emperor, and He Jin was afraid that Dong Zhuo would enter Beijing to threaten his military power, so He entered the palace to persuade Empress Dowager He:
"Dong Zhuo is coming, you immediately order the eunuchs to be executed, and then use this as a reason to prevent Dong Zhuo from entering Beijing."
Empress Dowager He did not give a clear answer. She might have wanted to consider it, but this sentence was heard by the eunuchs in the Changshou Zhang Rang and others, and said the soul question:
"What does the general want to do? Is the Dou family's affairs going to be repeated? "
We invested in He's family to form an alliance with relatives to avoid the recurrence of Dou's story. Now that your brother and sister are well developed, how are you doing this to us?
Well, we will break our gratitude with you.
Eunuchs will never drag on doing things, and after that, they brought dozens of them. The man tricked He Jin into the front of Jiade Hall and stabbed him to death, followed by a century-old fire.
eunuchs planned to decree Fan Ling as the lieutenant of Si Li and Xu Xiang as the yin of Henan, and prepared to re-control Luoyang and surrounding areas. Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao forged an edict to kill him.
eunuchs closed the palace gate, and He Jin's troops Wu Kuang and Hu Ben's general siege Yuan Shu , And the door was locked.
Wu Kuang suspected that He Jin's younger brother He Miao and the eunuch colluded with the eunuch, which led to He Jin being killed by the eunuch, so he besieged He Miao and killed him with Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min.
Yuan Shao closed the Beigong Gate and hunted and killed eunuchs everywhere. No young master killed them, and more than 2,000 people died.
Eunuch Zhang Rang and others took Liu Bian and Liu Xie to Xiaopingjin hostage, and were forced to jump into the river by ministers such as Lu Zhi and died.
On that night, Luoyang was shining in flames.
The relatives and eunuchs who controlled the Eastern Han regime were destroyed overnight, and the aristocrats endured a hundred years and turned the tables overnight.
If Yuan Shao's plan is followed, it can also be said to be the plan of the Yuan clan of Runan and the Eastern Han gentry. After the sun rises tomorrow, there will be no relatives or eunuchs in the world. The 14-year-old emperor Liu Bian in the court, and the ministers of the gentry headed by Yuan clan of Runan.
The so-called "all righteous" is the dynasty.
Chinese history directly skips the three kingdoms for power and enters the track of Western Jin , History gives Sima Yi to Yuan Wei, and Sima Yan to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu's role is King Qi Sima You .
This is the best era that the Eastern Han gentry dreamed of, but the shelf life of this best era is less than three days.
On the third night of the end of the coup, the Shangshu Lu Zhi and the central Henan official Min Gong helped Liu Bian and Liu Xie back to Luoyang. On the way, they met Dong Zhuo who rode a horse.
Dong Zhuo is the first A foreign army that rushed to Luoyang, out of political instinct, Lu Zhi and Min Gong ordered Dong Zhuo to stop advancing in the name of the emperor, but Dong Zhuo came with political purposes. What is the order of the gentry minister?
So Dong Zhuo asked back:
"You are all ministers of the country, but you have made the country like this. What is the face that makes me retreat? "After saying that, Dong Zhuo talked to Liu Bian and Liu Xie respectively, and found that 14-year-old Liu Bian spoke timidly, while 9-year-old Liu Xie was smart and clever.
According to general saying, Dong Zhuo found that Liu Xie was young and easy to control, so he became determined to abolish and establish.
Is the truth so simple?
of course not.
"Zizhi Tongjian" and "Book of the Later Han" both used a sentence here: "Zhuo Zi said he was the same clan as the Empress Dowager, so he had the intention of abolishing him. "
Liu Xie was raised by Empress Dowager Dong and was closer to the Dong family's relatives emotionally, while Dong Zhuo believes that he is the same clan as Empress Dowager Dong, so in terms of personal relationships and political relationships, Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie are closer.
As for why Dong Zhuo thinks he is the same clan as Empress Dowager Dong, no one knows.
There is a possibility, During his lifetime, Empress Dowager Dong contacted Dong Zhuo through Dong Min, and the border general reached a certain political agreement with the harem. Another possibility was that Emperor Ling of Han summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing to strengthen the relatives of the Dong family. However, Dong Zhuo felt that mastering the troops was more reliable, so Emperor Ling of Han did not blame Dong Zhuo.
Otherwise, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so many uprisings were put down, but Emperor Ling of Han ordered Dong Zhuo, who had only three thousand soldiers, to stop, which was a little strange.
What is the specific process? I'm afraid only Dong Zhuo and Dong Min know, but the result is certain:
Dong Zhuo led his troops into Beijing under He Jin's order. His original intention was to take the chestnut from the fire. Now both the eunuchs and He Jin are dead. Dong Zhuo wanted to change Liu Xie as the same clan of Empress Dowager Dong, and he took charge of the Eastern Han Dynasty as a relative of the Dong family.
To put it bluntly, after hearing Liu Xie's coup, Dong Zhuo quickly decided to replace He Jin's position and become the new relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
made a decision at the moment of the flash of calcium carbide, and Dong Zhuo was also a ruthless person.
It can be said that Yuan Shao’s coup plan is relatively perfect, at least not so stupid, and the only variable is Dong Zhuo. With the arrival of Dong Zhuo, the Yuan clan and the gentry, who had briefly obtained the Eastern Han regime, also ushered in new enemies.
4.
Originally, Yuan Shao's plan was to eliminate foreign relatives and eunuchs and start the gentry politics of the gentry where the gentry was in power alone. However, Dong Zhuo, who came to Beijing with political purposes, wanted to restore the traditional foreign relatives' politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
One side wants to move towards a new era of Western Jin Dynasty and the other side wants to return to the tradition of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Then the struggle between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo is essentially a struggle between two lines.
When Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, Yuan Shao had the opportunity to completely defeat Dong Zhuo.
Because Dong Zhuo's foundation was unstable at that time, only three thousand soldiers and horses brought to Luoyang, which was not enough to control Luoyang. So Cavalry Commander Bao Xin advised Yuan Shao: "Dong Zhuo has strong troops to enter Beijing, and has great ambitions. It is better to take advantage of his tired soldiers to attack and capture it in one battle."
Bao Xin's vision is very accurate. This is the only window period for Yuan Shao and even the aristocratic clans to defeat Dong Zhuo. Time is very tight. If you want to do it, you must be clean and neat. You must not drag it out.
Results Yuan Shao's reaction was- Shao Weizhuo and dared not post.
At first I looked at these six words and felt incredible.
Yuan Shao is a romantic and sloppy corporal. He just planned such a big coup. From figuring out human nature, hiring people to controlling the rhythm, Yuan Shao's performance is undoubtedly the first-class figure in the late Han Dynasty. How could he not dare to move when facing Dong Zhuo with three thousand soldiers?
is actually normal to think about it carefully.
Yuan Shao is a noble son of the three generations of the fourth generation. He has always relied on the family's background in his work. He has no experience of starting from scratch to survive. Then he is definitely not as sensitive to crises or opportunities as Dong Zhuo, who has been rolling in the crowd of dead for 20 years.
Use "strong generals are sent from the army and prime ministers are from the states" to measure characters. Dong Zhuo fully meets the standards, while Yuan Shao, Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han both have very serious peace diseases and does not meet this standard at all.
So Dong Zhuo can make the decision to "replace He Jin" in the flames of calcium carbide, but Yuan Shao cannot make the decision to "sneak attack on Dong Zhuo" within the only few days window.
Cao Cao commented on Yuan Shao when cooking wine - he was harsh and brave, he liked to plan without making decisions, he cherished his life when doing big things, and he forgot his life when seeing small profits. This is a big deal.
Since Yuan Shao did not seize the opportunity, Dong Zhuo is not polite.
He brought not many troops to Luoyang, so he asked them to leave the barracks quietly at night and come back with great fanfare in the morning, causing a steady stream of troops. Then, using his younger brother Dong Min and He Jin's troops to fight together, he incorporated the troops left by He Jin, won over Lu Bu and assassinate Ding Yuan, and incorporated Ding Yuan's Bingzhou troops.
At this point, Dong Zhuo successfully integrated the Luoyang army and became the most powerful person in Luoyang. Those gentry ministers from classical families could not compete with Dong Zhuo who was not virtuous.
After getting to this point, Dong Zhuo completed the first step of replacing He Jin.
The second step is to depose Liu Bian, the relative of He family, and Liu Xie, the relative of Dong family, and to restore the politics of foreign relatives in the Eastern Han Dynasty, fulfill the dying wish of Emperor Ling of Han, and to be able to wake up the power of the world and lie drunk on the knees of the beauty.
When Dong Zhuo put forward the opinions of abolishing the emperor, Dong Zhuo claimed that "Is the big thing in the world not my world? Do you think Dong Zhuo's knife is not good?" Only Yuan Shao stood up and argued with Dong Zhuo - "The only one who is strong in the world is Dong Gong." After that, he fled out of Luoyang and went straight to Jizhou.
The gentry ministers in the court "no one dared to respond", so King Liu Xie of Chen ascended the throne, and Liu Bian abdicated and was named King Hongnong.
Dong Zhuo used his military power to complete the second step of replacing He Jin.
The third step is to completely liquidate He's family.
Dong Zhuo said that Empress Dowager He did not keep the courtesy of his aunt, and decided to move Empress Dowager He to Yong'an Palace. He soon poisoned her with medicine. He then killed Empress Dowager He's mother Wuyangjun and dug He Miao's coffin and threw it to the side of the road.
This action not only avenged Queen Mother Dong, but also defeated He's relatives and criticized him.
Complete these three steps, Luoyang became Dong Zhuo's world. The ministers of the gentry were trembling and the court decided to follow Dong Zhuo's words.
All of this was completed within half a year of Emperor Ling of Han’s death.
Runan Yuan family and the gentry all had all done everything they could, but they didn’t get a satisfactory result, but let Dong Zhuo take advantage of the situation to pick peaches. If it were you, would you be willing? Dong Zhuo uses small forces to entice the family of the Shishi family. If it were you, would you feel safe?
is impossible.
Yuan Shao and other families could not be willing to accept it, and Dong Zhuo could not feel safe in sitting in Luoyang court.
Since both sides are not satisfied with the three-party competition, the next script is naturally a showdown between the new foreign relatives and the old gentry.
Dong Zhuo's strategy is to reconcile with the gentry.
Cai Yong ( Cai Wenji father) is a famous scholar in the world. He was persecuted by eunuchs for 12 years. After Dong Zhuo took charge of the government, he summoned Cai Yong back to Luoyang to be the attendant.
The Disaster of Party and Prison It has been 20 years since Dong Zhuo personally made the "Resolution on the History of Party and Prison Investigation", rehabilitating party members such as Chen Fan, Dou Wu, and Li Ying, and promoting their descendants to serve as officials.
promoted Yingchuan Xun Shuang (uncle Xun Yu) was Sikong, Yingchuan Chen Ji (father of Chen Qun) was the General of the False Characters, and Yingchuan Han Rong was the Great Master. These famous scholars who have not been in the opposition for many years were promoted by Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's meaning is very clear. I am good to you, and you are also good to me. The relatives and the gentry joined hands to take charge of the regime and share the interests of the world.
Even in order to reconcile with the Yuan family in Runan, Dong Zhuo did not pursue Yuan Shao's charge of elopement in Jizhou, but instead appointed Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai , Yuan Shu as the later general, and Cao Cao also obtained the position of the cavalry captain.
In order to reconcile with the gentry, Dong Zhuo did not promote his confidants in the army, "but he was just a general." He still trained soldiers in the army and did not allow them to participate in government affairs.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo is sincere.
As for Dong Zhuo's indulgence in soldiers to plunder property, it is actually not too outrageous compared with the previous relatives of Dou Xian and Liang Ji. We cannot use the core socialist values to demand Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo has not joined the party.
But the strategy of the gentry such as Yuan Shao is to fight against each other in armed ways. We must get what cannot get in Luoyang and finally attack Luoyang and reorganize the world.
So, Yuan Shao went to Bohai to recruit heroes and set off a military force. Yuan Shu got his official position and went straight to Nanyang. Cao Cao went to Chenliu County "Spend family wealth" to recruit 5,000 soldiers.
In the first month of 190 AD, the governor of Jizhou Han Fu , Xiaoqi Captain Cao Cao, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai , Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao , Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang and other county chiefs of Kanto Prefect Counties, publicly recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo.
This is the familiar "Eighteen Princes to confront Dong Zhuo". Chinese history did not advance according to Yuan Shao's plan, nor did it evolve according to Dong Zhuo's plan, but went to a chaotic world that no one expected.
This is the new chapter in Chinese history.
5,
We now believe that the Three Kingdoms are a historical necessity, but in the eyes of people at that time, the troubled times were accidents.
First of all, the Yellow Turban Uprising did not shake the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and local forces did not rise because of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
In February 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. By October, Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan quelled the uprising, and some small-scale armed forces were left, and they could not make a big wave.
In the same year, the Jiaozhi Uprising was caused by the heavy taxes. The court appointed Jia Cong as the governor of Jiaozhi and announced the exemption of taxes and labor service. The uprising was automatically quelled. The people of Jiaozhi said that the governor of Jiaozhi came too late, which caused us to rebel.
After that, Zhang Yan became the leader of the Hebei Yellow Turban Remnants Party, known as the Black Mountain Bandit , and took the initiative to go to Luoyang to request revenge. The court appointed Zhang Yan as the General of the Punishment and General of the Affairs of the Hebei Mountains.
Nanyang Zhao Ci rebelled, Jingzhou Governor Wang Min pacified.
Wulingman rebelled and pacified.
Changsha District Xing Rebellion, Sun Jian pacified.
YizhouMa Xiang rebelled, and the state engaged in Jialong's pacification.
Youzhou Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, and Liu Yu pacified.
Before Emperor Ling of Han passed away, except for the Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, the rebellion activities in the core areas of the Eastern Han Dynasty were basically pacified.
Even if the power of the state governor was too heavy, during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, there were only Yizhou governor Liu Yan, Youzhou governor Liu Yu, and Yuzhou governor Huang Wan. Among the three people,
, two of them are royal ministers.
This is not the rise of local forces, it is clearly the court that strengthened local management.
