Chapter Three: Anti-Bone Boy Tang Zhou Vendor(1/2)
Tang Zhou is not necessarily well known to the public.
But as long as you have a little in-depth understanding of the Three Kingdoms, you will know the specialness of this person.
In a sense, the prelude to the Three Kingdoms was opened by him, not Zhang Jiao.
It was already the second day when Jushou came back from Litao (Julu County Office).
"I heard that there were refugees snatching food yesterday, and you brought them back?"
Jushou didn't stop for a moment. When he entered the back hall, he started asking about yesterday's events.
"The person is being detained, but before the interrogation, the father and uncle must be mentally prepared."
"Oh? But what kind of cruel person?" Jushou asked.
"Although he is just a thin refugee, Qing feels that he hides a shocking secret."
"It's impossible to teach people who are afraid of first-class people!"
Jushou immediately went to the county prison and interrogated Tang Zhou.
"Name!"
"Young man Tang Zhou, please be merciful to me!"
"Do you know your guilt?" Jushou asked procedurally.
"The villain knows the crime, the villain reports it, please beg the superior to show mercy!"
Jushou was stunned for a moment. Is this the move?
"Just tell me!"
"The villain is a disciple of Taiping Taoist leader Jiao Jiao. He was ordered to go to the surrounding villages and counties to recruit refugees to join Taiping Taoism and go to Julu together."
"Why go to Julu?"
"The leader of the church made an agreement with the commanders of all parties to march from Yecheng to Zhending on March 5th, thinking that 'the great cause can be determined', and then he will lead the Taiping Taoists from all over the country to raise troops to replace the Han Dynasty."
Jushou's eyelids twitched. It was just as the boy said, scary!
"Seriously?" Jushou still couldn't believe it. For such a big event, without being tortured, this guy even told the whole story about the time, place and process?
"The villain dare not lie. For the sake of the villain taking the initiative to expose it, please spare the villain."
Is this the characteristic of the seller?
Tang and Zhou were indeed no different from those in history.
Historically, in February, Zhang Jiao sent him to Luoyang to contact Ma Yuanyi, the eunuch Feng Xu, Xu Feng and other internal agents. As a result, this guy automatically surrendered as soon as he entered Luoyang.
The imperial court was shocked, arrested Ma Yuanyi, and executed him by breaking his chariot into pieces. At the same time, he conducted a large-scale roundup of Taiping Taoists, and thousands of them were executed.
Ma Yuanyi was defeated and Zhang Jiao was forced to revolt in advance.
Just imagine if Zhang Jiao sent a reliable person to Luoyang.
According to the plan, Ma Yuanyi, together with the eunuchs in the palace, raided the Kyoto palace, launched a beheading operation, and directly cut off the center of the Han Dynasty. By then, the court would be in chaos and government orders would be blocked. Then troops from all over the country would be raised together to quickly capture important cities. The Han Dynasty might directly collapse.
Historically, the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Tang and Zhou Dynasties was forced to be advanced by more than a month due to insufficient preparations. But now, because of Liu Qing, a son of this plane, the Yellow Turban Uprising may be advanced again.
Jushou looked at Liu Qing, as if asking for his opinion.
Liu Qing's eyes flickered, seemingly hesitant, and finally brightened suddenly.
He said directly: "Secretly escort this person to Luoyang."
At this time, Zhang Jiao should not have told him to contact the eunuchs, and Ma Yuanyi should not have sneaked into Kyoto.
Jushou stroked his beard and said, "That's all."
"Mr. and uncle, we also need to make preparations early."
Jushou glanced at Tang Zhou and winked. This is not a place for discussion.
The two came to the back hall and continued their discussion. Jushou said with a slightly solemn tone: "If the Taiping Dao really wants to start something in Yecheng, Guangping may be implicated."
"My uncle and I thought that Zhang Jiao would not start an uprising in Ye, but in Julu," Liu Qing said.
"How can I see it?"
"The plan was to start an uprising in Ye. Now that the incident has been exposed, Zhang Jiao will definitely not dare to enter Yecheng where there is a garrison. His hometown of Julu is relatively empty, so the uprising has the highest success rate in Julu."
"Tianzhu's insights!" Jushou agreed, "Julu is only a day or two's journey from Guangping, so I'm afraid it's still unavoidable..."
"My lord and uncle, how big are the people in Taiping Taoism?"
Jushou suddenly sighed, "Looking at the length of my county, there may be more than a thousand."
"However, Jizhou has hundreds of counties under its jurisdiction, let alone the whole country." Liu Qing added.
Jushou was startled and looked at Liu Qing in disbelief.
Liu Qing continued: "There are tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty. There have been natural and man-made disasters year after year, so that half of the people are homeless. This is the case for the Duke and the uncle who govern the county during the Qingming Festival. What's more, in other places, according to Qing's opinion, as long as Zhang Jiao's uprising
If only one out of ten responds, millions of people can be reached."
Jushou looked at the young man in front of him, and in a daze, he felt that he had grown up.
He did not expect to see this, and he dared to say that no one with knowledge among his friends dared to think so.
"Tianzhu's talk is really shocking to the world, and doing business is really a waste of talent. Why don't I tell the court, are you willing to serve the court?"
"I don't want to!"
"Why?"
"Mr. and uncle, do you remember how my father, King Bohai, died?"
"Oh, it's all treacherous and sycophantic people who are trying to get in the way. Why do you have to destroy your own future for these little people?"
Self-destruction? No, my future has not begun yet.
At this time, although the Han Dynasty had many problems, they were still far from a real chaos. At this time, efforts were made to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The situation was still unclear, and even Jushou could not see it.
"What is the state of the imperial court now? It's not like I don't know what the imperial court is like. Your Majesty sells his official positions and is licentious. His servants also follow suit and treat the country as child's play. All the officials in the imperial court are just playthings in the hands of traitors."
Jushou was speechless, because Liu Qing was telling the truth.
"Well, my friend Tian Feng, who was once a censor, resigned and returned to his hometown a few days ago because he hated eunuchs who were in power and could not use good people."
"My uncle, Yuan Hao (Tian Feng's nickname) is from Julu?"
"Exactly."
"Julu is already in a dangerous place, why not invite him to Guangping as a guest?" Liu Qing said with thought.
"What you said makes sense. I will write a letter later and invite him to come. Also, how do you plan to resettle the two hundred refugees?"
Liu Qing looked at Jushou steadily and said, "My lord and uncle, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say."
He looked at Jushou with firm eyes, "I want to train them and arm them as my troops."
Jushou showed a look of surprise and said, "This matter is against the law. If anyone knows about it, it may be detrimental to you."
The Yellow Turbans had not yet revolted. At this time, even the military strength of counties and counties was strictly controlled. Only some powerful families had some private soldiers in the name of servants.
"I, the majestic son of King Bohai and the queen of Emperor Guangwu, have the blood of our great ancestors flowing in my body. In this Han Dynasty, what if I have thousands of private soldiers? The troubled times are about to begin. Without soldiers, not only can I not protect myself, let alone protect the country and the people!"
Liu Qing changed his cautious attitude and vented the anger he had accumulated for several years, "From today on, the land under my feet, Liu Qing, will be a place of peace for the people!"
"Master and uncle, are you willing to help me!"
Jushou looked at Liu Qing and didn't come back to his senses for a moment. Although the child he raised was a nobleman, he had never mentioned the words "son of the King of Bohai" in the past ten years.
Gentle, yet cautious and orderly, with a maturity that belies his age.
But when he heard that there was going to be trouble at Taiping Road, he became angry and stepped forward.
Once his youthful spirit is revealed, he has such courage and ambition. Isn't this what he has always hoped for!
For a moment, Jushou was so happy that he cried: "I wish, I can pay homage to my lord."
Liu Qing quickly helped Jushu up and said, "My lord and uncle, you have been kind to me in raising me up. I will never do this great gift in the future."
Jushou looked at Liu Qing, covered his face and smiled.
