Chapter 71 The Yellow Turban Explosion
Mo Dao is a long-handled sword that appeared in the Tang Dynasty.It has two sides and two blades, and is about one foot long. The light one weighs fifteen catties, and the heavy one can reach fifty catties.
It is said that Mo Dao evolved from the Zhanma Dao of the Han Dynasty.
Zhanma Dao is commonly known as "Shangfang Sword". This is not the sword bestowed by the emperor.
The reason why it is called Shangfang Sword is that the Zhanma Dao is cast by "Shangfang Ju", hence the name.
The Mo knife can be said to be the ultimate weapon on the battlefield. If it is wielded by the powerful, it will destroy people and horses.
However, this kind of knife-like steel is not good, and a new steel filling method must be used.
It seems that I have to go to Zhen's house in person when I have time, some things are obviously not suitable for others to deliver.
The coal distribution map doesn't matter, but the steelmaking method and the Modao forging method must not be leaked.
If this leaked out, it would be bloody.
After getting up and tidying up, Liu Jin happily went to school.
……
At this time, in Luoyang, a report letter went directly to the center of the court.
A native of Jinan named Tang Zhou wrote to the government to expose and report Julu Zhangjiao and others intending to rebel.
At the same time, in the report, the regular attendant Feng Xuan (a cry of xu) and Xu Feng served as Zhang Jiao's internal response, and there were nearly a thousand rebels headed by Ma Yuanyi in Luoyang City.
Emperor Liu Hong was furious when he got the news.
The Zhongchang servants Feng Xuan and Xu Feng were taken down on the spot. Although he kept calling for grievances, the furious Liu Hong ignored them and directly ordered beheading.
Liu Hong even ordered Henan Yin Hejin to arrest Ma Yuanyi and others, and at the same time sent orders to all counties in Jizhou to arrest the three brothers of the Zhang family and their families.
This He Jin is the elder brother of Empress He, who is highly trusted by Liu Hong.
When Ma Yuanyi got the news, he fled north immediately.
It's a pity that he was arrested in Sanyang County, Hanoi County just after he escaped from Henan Yin.
The next day, Ma Yuanyi was escorted back to Luoyang.
After the interrogation was clear, Liu Hong directly ordered his car to be broken up, and nearly a thousand members of the congregation were killed at the same time.
When the news reached Julu, Zhang Jiao was very helpless. Although he had expected that someone would force him to rebel, he never expected that the traitor would be his disciple.
Liu Jin knew that Tang Zhou would rebel, but without Tang Zhou, there would be Li Zhou and Zhang Zhou. The aristocratic families have ways to force you to rebel.
Zhang Jiao had no choice but to call overnight and hastily notify all parties to revolt immediately. He called himself "General Tiangong", his younger brother Zhang Bao called himself "General Digong", his younger brother Zhang Liang called himself "General Rengong", and Zhang Ning "Yellow Turban". Saintess".
So on February [-]th, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out completely. All believers tied yellow scarves on their heads as a sign, and chanted the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".
As soon as the uprising started, the masses responded one after another.
In the eight major states, no matter if they are local rich people or refugees, even officials and guards in the city have joined the Yellow Turban Army. As for how many people have ulterior motives, only they know.
Many of these rich people sent food and clothing, so the Yellow Turban Army developed at a terrifying speed. Thousands of hungry refugees began to hold high the banner of righteousness, took risks and joined the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, there was a vast expanse of human heads.
Seeing so many enemies in many towns, they couldn't even arouse resistance. They either opened the city gates or abandoned the city and fled.
As soon as the Yellow Turban Army entered the city, they set fire to the government and drove out the corrupt officials and the gentry who had done all kinds of bad things.
Not only that, but Zhang Jiao distributed part of the property obtained from the ransacking to the common people.
The people supported Zhang Jiao even more, and many believers took the opportunity to spread the teachings of Taiping Dao everywhere, and more and more people joined the Yellow Turban Army.
So in less than ten days, countless cities in the eight major states were breached, and hundreds of local officials and gentry were slaughtered.
As the number increased, many refugees began to be uncontrolled and looted everywhere.
All of a sudden, the flames of war spread, the world shook, and Luoyang shook.
Luoyang Weiyang Palace, at this time, civil and military officials stood on both sides.
In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong specially summoned civil and military officials, but he didn't panic much.
"Can you gentlemen find a way to eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves?"
All the ministers below were silent, and Liu Hong became angry.
Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao looked at each other, nodded, and then stepped out.
"Your Majesty, Bu Yuan leads the troops to suppress the thieves."
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also asked for orders.
"Hahaha, well, the three generals are indeed loyal and patriotic." Liu Hong looked up to the sky and laughed.
"However, what's the use of the yellow scarves, the three gods will come out, and the three still need to continue to sit in Luoyang."
Lu Bu's three talents are Liu Hong's confidence, but he will not send them out until the last moment. Luoyang must be safe with them by his side.
"This... yes." The three of Lu Bu were helpless, and the credit for getting it was just like that.
"Is there any other way, gentlemen?" Liu Hong looked at the civil and military on both sides.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban is powerful and the imperial court has few soldiers. You can order people with lofty ideals from all over the world to recruit soldiers, guard the Yellow Turban, and make meritorious deeds from thieves." Henan Yin Hejin stood up and said.
Liu Hong nodded, this is also a solution, "Okay, just follow Henan Yin's words."
"Your Majesty, the imperial court still needs to send several generals to lead the troops to conquer the thieves." He Jin spoke again.
"Okay, He Jin, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun (jun four tones), Lu Zhi listen to the order." Liu Hong began to dispatch troops.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The four stepped forward.
"Feng: He Jin is the general. He led the five battalions of the Habayashi Army to station in Duting, repair equipment, and guard the capital."
"Yes, Your Majesty." He Jin was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
"Fold: Huangfu Song is the general of Zuo Zhonglang, Zhu Jun is the general of You Zhonglang, and Lu Zhi is the general of Bei Zhonglang. They mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country to attack the Yellow Turban bandits."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three of Huangfusong took orders.
"Okay, the four of you go down and mobilize troops." Liu Hong waved his hands.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say." Huangfu Song stood up again.
"Oh? General Huangfu, please tell me." Liu Hong asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, there has been a long history of grievances in the dispute between the party and the prison. If we conspire with the Yellow Turban, I am afraid there will be no salvation." Huangfusong said sincerely.
Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I understand, let's retreat."
After retiring from the court, Liu Hong issued an imperial decree to set up captains to garrison at various Kyoto gates such as Hangu, Dagu, Guangcheng, Yique, Zhu (huan two tones), Revolving Gate, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin.
He also issued an edict to all places to take strict precautions, ordering all states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, order weapons, and summon rebels.
At the same time, Liu Hong adopted Huang Fusong's suggestion to lift the ban on the party and pardon all party members in the world.
And took out the palace money and Xiyuan good horses as gifts to the sergeants to improve morale.
In addition, Liu Hong also asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and to recommend the descendants of the generals and talented people from the people to contribute to the country.
