Chapter 117: Liangzhou of Liangzhou people! (1/3)


After listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's tiger eyes looked around at His Royal Highness's ministers, and his eyes focused on the representatives of the powerful families in the Kanto region, such as the Deng family. was focused on by Cao Cao, and these people naturally didn't dare to come forward to argue with Jia Xu, so they honestly retracted their heads one by one and became turtles with shrunken heads.

After seeing those people shrink their heads, Cao Cao looked elsewhere.

Cao Cao didn't know the thoughts of these powerful families in the Kanto region.

It can be said that Liangzhou has the current situation, mostly thanks to these powerful families in Kanto.

Liangzhou, roughly coincides with today's Gansu Province, and is divided into two blocks, Longyou and Hexi, Longyou is the lump below the map of today's Gansu Province, and Hexi is the long part above.

Longyou was developed earlier, and before the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the agricultural and pastoral stronghold of the Qin people, and it was the front line of the war between Huaxia and Xirong, while the situation in Hexi was relatively special.

Before the Han Dynasty, Hexi was the wrestling field of the Indo-European tribes Yueshi and Wusun, and the Yueshi people once beheaded the Wusun King and dominated Hexi, but the good times did not last long, and they were soon driven away by the Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu and the old Shangshan Yu, and the skull of the Yueshi King also became the wine vessel of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the Hexi Corridor became the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu.

In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty {121 BC), the famous Han general Huo Qubing recovered Hexi.

In order to cut off the connection between the Qiang people and the Xiongnu in the north and south of the Qilian Mountains, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set Longyou and Hexi as Liangzhou, and moved the poor and criminals in Guandong to enrich the four counties of Hexi, intending to build Liangzhou into a solid bridgehead of the Han Dynasty and then manage the Western Regions.

Liangzhou has a vast area, and the natural conditions within the territory are quite different, and various economies such as agriculture and animal husbandry coexist.

Regardless of whether it is Longyou or Hexi, the Han people in Liangzhou not only farm in the narrow oases and mountain basins, but also graze on the vast grasslands, coupled with the influence of the Qiang people south of the Qilian Mountains and the Xiongnu north of the desert, as well as the local Hu people such as Xiaoyue clan and the Han people living together, so that the Liangzhou people of the Han Dynasty formed a tradition of brave and good fighting.

The Liangzhou Hao clan also played a good role, mainly to military merits as a step into the body, the Western Han Dynasty famous generals Zhao Chongguo, Xin Qingji, etc. are all Liangzhou people, although the active time of the flying general Li Guang was before the establishment of Liangzhou, but his hometown Longxi Chengji is also in the Liangzhou area.

On the occasion of the two Han Dynasty, the wealthy clan of the five counties of Hexi elected Dou Rong, a wealthy clan in Guanzhong with deep roots in Liangzhou, as the leader, and returned to Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and led tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers and Qiang and Xiaoyue clans to cooperate with the Han army to make great contributions in the battle to pacify the hustle and bustle of Longyou, and the status was further improved, forming a group of heroes in the northwest in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, while the status of the wealthy people in Liangzhou rose, it was also accompanied by the aggravation of the crisis, because the Qiang people in Qinghai took advantage of the chaos in the last years of Xinmang, and had invaded Hexi and Longyou, and the contradictions with the Han people intensified, and finally the Han-Qiang War broke out that affected the national fortunes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Eastern Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang and implemented the Kwantung standard policy, the status of the western capital Chang'an declined, and Liangzhou, the barrier of Chang'an, became even more insignificant.

In addition, in order to dig out the foundation of the Northwest Hao clan and avoid the loss of manpower and material resources of the Kanto region due to Pingqiang, the court repeatedly proposed to abandon Liangzhou and move the people of Liangzhou into inland states and counties.

Moving is a wonderful way to combat the power of the wealthy family, a large family relocated, to the new territory and to be squeezed out by the local wealthy family, often make the family in the middle of the road, a slump, Qin and the Western Han Dynasty in the early and middle period has been the implementation of the relocation policy, the Guandong Hao family moved to Guanzhong, to avoid its excessive growth, until the Han Yuan Emperor because of the uncontrollable growth of the Hao family in the court and stopped.

Now the policy of the wealthy families in the Kanto region is a copy of the Western Han Dynasty's relocation of the Hao, but the host and guest are reversed.

In order to defend the countryside and the foundation, the wealthy families in the northwest fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and also intrigued with the wealthy families of the Kanto region several times in the court,-for-tat.

As early as the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the face of Xiqiang crossing the Great Wall and invading Liangzhou, the Nanyang Xungui group in the court suggested giving up Liangzhou.

Fortunately, at this time, it was in the rising period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty ordered Ma Yuan to lead troops to quell the Qiang Rebellion.

In the early years 107113 of Emperor Yong of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty declined, and as the Qiang Rebellion intensified, Pang Shen, a courtier from a wealthy family in Kwantung, repeatedly suggested giving up the Western Regions, and was ridiculed by the scholars of Xizhou.

Pang Shen said that the general Deng Qiu {grandson of Deng Yu}, who was born in the Kanto region, would abandon Liangzhou on the grounds of insufficient state use, but was still rejected by the courtiers from the wealthy families in the northwest.

In the fifth year of Yongchu {111 years}, the first Lingqiang invaded Hanoi from the annexation state, only one river away from the capital Luoyang, the Eastern Han Dynasty court was shocked, and decided to abandon the counties of Longxi and northern Shaanxi, and moved the people into the interior.

The people of Liangzhou relocated to their land and did not want to leave their hometowns, so the local officials destroyed their farmland and houses and forced them to leave, resulting in a large number of people dying on the roads, almost provoking a large-scale civil uprising.

The central government is unreliable, and the people of Liangzhou can only rely on themselves to gallop across the field and defend their homeland.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, there were three famous generals in the wealthy clan of Liangzhou at the same time, namely Huangfu Gui {Zi Weiming}, Zhang Huan {Zi Ran Ming}, Duan Gong {Zi Jiming}, known as Liangzhou Sanming, achieved a major victory in the war against the Qiang, Duan Cheng even implemented a genocidal policy rarely seen in Chinese history against the Qiang people, and suppressed the Qiang rebellion for a while.

However, with the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty running all the way on the road, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, although it was quickly suppressed, but the people's minds were chaotic, the frontier was unstable, and the Qiang Rebellion broke out again in Liangzhou, and there were also Liangzhou Han Hao clan involved.

The Eastern Han government sent the warlike Huangfu Song, Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo, but they still could not be pacified.

Situ Cuilie, who was born in Kanto, once again suggested giving up Liangzhou, and Fu Xie, a wealthy family in Liangzhou, was furious and reprimanded on the spot: Kill Situ, the world is safe In the end, under the impetus of Fu Xie, the Eastern Han Dynasty organized the remnants of the government forces in Liangzhou, and the Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng was the commander to quell the rebellion.

Geng Con is the Kwantung giant deer Geng clan, who appointed traitors to poison Liangzhou, and on the way out, he served as a non-driving Liangzhou wealthy clan to raise troops to mutiniate and kill Geng Cong.

Fu Xie defended Hanyang with outnumbered soldiers and died in a heroic battle, and the Eastern Han Dynasty's control of Liangzhou was completely lost.

And this time, their opponent was no longer the savage chieftain of Xian Lingqiang or Dangqiang, but the Han famous Han Sui of Liangzhou and his Han and Qiang coalition army.

At this point, the Hao clan in Liangzhou's heart to the center basically died or died in a foreign land, and the remaining half were coerced by the Qiang people, half of them were desperate for the imperial court, and resolutely cooperated with the rebels, not only to seize Liangzhou, but also to lead them to attack Chang'an and become enemies of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why the Liangzhou Hao clan broke with the Eastern Han Dynasty government has long-term grievances and complicated reasons.

In order to prevent the combination of local officials and local forces and the formation of separation, the Han and Han Dynasty designed a system of appointing outsiders to serve as local officials.

However, in other regions, people from neighboring counties with little cultural differences were sometimes selected as officials, and in Liangzhou, in order to guard against the powerful Liangzhou wealthy clans, people from the Kanto region were deliberately used as magistrates.

In the face of the Qiang invasion, in order to ensure their own safety, they suggested abandoning Liangzhou and moving the residents inward, and they were often greedy and reckless in their governance.

The wealthy people in Liangzhou hated them to the core, and they were also quite dissatisfied with the Eastern Han government behind them.

It can be said that the reason why Liangzhou became Liangzhou of Liangzhou people was that the rulers of the Han Dynasty and the powerful family of Kanto had a responsibility that could not be shirked
