Chapter 104 The First Year of Neutralization

Today is the last day of the year 183, and it is also the last day of the sixth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Tomorrow will be the first year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

However, some phenomena this year are also suggesting that next year should be an eventful year.

It is now the harvest season, but the sun in the sky is already shining brightly, and the expected rain has not arrived yet, and the fields are already cracked.

The criss-cross textures in the fields are more like the hands of old farmers. Although they worked hard and worked hard, they could not get the harvest they should have.

The great drought has already swept the whole big man. Does this imply anything?

But those peasants didn't think so much. Because of the lack of harvest, they couldn't even afford to eat, not to mention the complicated taxes.

Countless people have left their homes, the villages where their ancestors have lived, all they want is to live, to stay in a place where they can afford food.

The relocation of the land, which is the most important thing for people, seems to be less important now.

Diseases also swept the whole world, and countless plagues made the people miserable. At this time, one after another "kind-hearted people" in yellow robes stood up.

They treat the peasants, and they also take out a lot of food they don't know where they come from to help them maintain their lives.

these feet

In order to make these farmers grateful, it is a common phenomenon to obey their words. Those good-hearted people in yellow robes have always been there to tell the injustice of the Han court and the injustice of those corrupt officials.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous."

This sentence slowly spread among these victims, and many people did not understand the meaning of this sentence, and there were people who explained it for him.

In ancient times, some feudal superstitions were highly valued. The sky refers to the Han court, the blue color itself is the official residence of the officials of the ancient Han court, and Huang Tian refers to the Taiping Taoists in yellow robes around them.

When are people most superstitious? It is really not the oldest time, but the time when people were the poorest and least expected, and now is the time to meet this condition.

Once the slogan was spread, the refugees also gathered many responders, and the Taiping Taoism, which could only be regarded as a medium-sized organization, suddenly swelled.

Countless peasants also joined the Yellow Turban Army. Because of the planning for more than ten years, there are countless grains in the current Yellow Turban Army. Countless people who are hungry have joined Taiping Taoism.

Of course, the main recruits in Taiping Taoism are those young male believers, and only these can give them the greatest help and have greater power during the uprising.

But they are still dormant, he

We know that the time is not yet ripe, that the drought has not yet reached its worst time, and that not enough people have joined the Yellow Turbans.

Now there are millions of people who have become followers of Taiping Taoism, which is already a huge force, and the most important thing is that these Taoists are distributed in almost every state in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. in the county town.

If it wasn't for the lack of food, these peasants might not really rebel, but now they can't control so much. The court doesn't want them to live, and they don't want the court to survive.

In fact, the Han court had already guessed about this matter for a long time, and Sangong had already asked the emperor to allocate disaster relief funds. The emperor was not sloppy at all. Although Emperor Ling was faint, he was more afraid of death.

However, when these disaster relief funds are in the hands of the ten permanent servants, they have already been exploited in half. The more they are passed on to the lower levels, they will be exploited a little bit. Finally, when they reach the county officials, state officials and county officials, even the gap between the teeth is not enough. .

There is still no sound in Taiping Taoism now, so the imperial court has not taken any action. Most officials are expecting that Taiping Taoism has no other plans, otherwise it will make this crumbling empire worse.

Countless refugees swarmed up, and these things made those ambitious people ****. Although they were all Hanchen, they hoped that the Yellow Turbans would rebel quickly.

If we can quickly destroy this huge empire, we can quickly re-establish order and redistribute the rights in this world.

Zhang Jiao has already set the time for the uprising, it is March 5th two months later, and then told the news to his subordinate thirty-six handsome men.

Not all Qu Shuai are loyal, and some have another idea, such as Tang Zhou.

This person is Zhang Jiao's most trusted disciple. As one of Zhang Jiao's confidants, he is also the person who reassures Zhang Jiao the most. Perhaps apart from his two brothers, it is Tang Zhou who reassures him the most. Bar.

However, there is no truly indestructible organization, and many organizations are first broken through from the inside. Now Tang Zhou is thinking about whether he should tell the court the news.

...

There is an undercurrent in the Taiping Taoism over there. The bodies of the refugees over there are almost everywhere, but Qin Shuo's side is indeed a completely different scene.

In Shuobai Village, preparations for the new year are in full swing, whether it is the busy farmers on weekdays or the soldiers who train all day long.

He was in full swing preparing for tonight's banquet.

The New Year's Day is actually the New Year's Day in the Han Dynasty, but it is only the first day of the first lunar month.

During the Han Dynasty, the way of celebrating the New Year started with some activities of worshipping the heavens and ancestors, as well as official agricultural celebrations.

The event hopes to have a bumper harvest throughout the year, and the official New Year ritual is a group worship ritual.

Because 90% of the folks are farmers, farmers from all over the world will reunite to eat together, just like today's reunion dinner, after eating, you can light firecrackers.

This firecracker actually refers to burning bamboo, not bamboo made of gunpowder. In later generations, gunpowder bamboo was born.

Originally, Qin Shuo didn't intend to let the officials in the village participate, but after thinking about it again, it is estimated that next year will be an eventful autumn, so let's make the new beginning of the year happy.

There was a hint of sharpness in Qin Shuo's eyes, thinking about the things that he had discussed with Xi Zhicai in the past half month, and the prospects for the future, a kind of pride came from his chest.

"Brother, I feel you have changed a lot recently."

Standing beside him was Qin Qinger, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar brother in front of him, and said in a low voice.

"Changed? What has it become?"

Qin Shuo chuckled lightly and didn't care.

"I've become more handsome, I've become more mature, I can't believe it."

Qin Qinger nodded as she spoke, as if she agreed with her words.

"No matter what, my elder brother is still that elder brother, and you will always be my most beloved younger sister."

Qin Shuo touched Qin Qinger's head and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Qin Qing'er nodded, the smile on her face was the same as this happy atmosphere.
