Chapter 25: Black ice and brocade clothes, beacon fire everywhere
After everyone present saw Xiang Yu say such murderous words so calmly, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their lungs. Even Xiang Yu's charming smile felt like seeing the smile of the God of Death.
Someone actually did it to kill a hundred people, and they were cavalry! Xiang Yu is an extremely dangerous and terrifying man, and the Overlord is nothing more than this in this world.
No one here suspected that Xiang Yu was lying, because based on Xiang Yu's performance just now, we knew that Xiang Yu really had this strength. Besides, with Xiang Yu's arrogant personality, would he be so panicked? Absolutely not!
Zhang Jue took the secret letter from Xiang Yu's hand and said with a smile: "God is really helping us in the Taiping Sect. Since Yu'er has taken back the secret letter, there is no need to advance it. When the time comes, I, the Taiping Sect, will dare to do it." First of all, the world, gather the banner of justice, destroy the tyrants, and restore the blue sky to the people of the world! The sky is dead, the yellow scarf should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world."
Everyone present looked at Zhang Jiao with burning eyes and shouted the inspiring slogan together.
"The sky is dead, the yellow scarf should stand up, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world."...
Zhang Jiao looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction. After waving his hand, the whole place fell into silence.
"Where is the thirty-six square canal?"
"The general is here!"
"Now I order the thirty-six square canal commanders to return to their respective jurisdictions as soon as possible. When March comes, they will fight against the tyrants, kill the ignorant kings, punish the traitors, and destroy the evil spirits!"
"No! Fight against the tyrants, kill the foolish kings, punish the traitors, and destroy the evil spirits!"
…
Lishan, the top of the mountain.
Qin Hao stood quietly on the top of the mountain, overlooking the sky, waiting quietly, not knowing what he was waiting for.
Qin Hao is now 14 years old, but after four years of hard work, he gives people the feeling of maturity of seventeen or eighteen years old, and is no longer as exaggerated as before.
During the four years of study, Qin Hao has undergone earth-shaking changes both internally and externally. However, the inner cultivation cannot be seen, so the external changes are more obvious.
Qin Hao, who has 85 points of charm at the age of ten, is unparalleled in terms of appearance. Because his appearance is more feminine, Qin Hao is afraid of taking the path of a transvestite. However, Qin Hao has really worked hard on training.
After hard training, Qin Hao is now 175cm tall, which has exceeded the height of his previous life. However, Qin Hao is not satisfied because in this era, 175cm is not considered short, but it is not considered high.
Four years of travel have given Qin Hao a deeper understanding of this era. People with a height of 190 are not uncommon, and there are many people with a height of 200. Therefore, Qin Hao is not satisfied with his height, but Qin Hao is still developing. , there is still a lot of room for growth, and 175 is not the limit.
Qin Hao's appearance has changed the most. Now, Qin Hao has completely lost his childishness and grown into a handsome young man who is tall and handsome, handsome and sunny. Three thousand silk robes were draped over the shoulders, revealing a peerless noble prince who was full of immortal energy, as if he were an immortal.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Qin Hao waited and waited. Although he didn't expect anything, he didn't get impatient. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, took out a scroll of bamboo slips, and studied it quietly.
After a while, a sharp eagle cry suddenly sounded in the sky. Qin Hao smiled immediately when he heard it, and then whistled towards him. The loud slogan resounded throughout the valley. After a while, he saw an eagle shouting towards Qin Hao. Hao flew over and landed proudly next to Qin Hao with his head raised.
After touching the silky feathers of the goshawk for a while, Hou Qinhao took out a small piece of silk from the corner of the goshawk's leg. After looking at its content, he saw that the silk had written: "The news has been conveyed, Tang Zhou was captured." Arrested, the time of rebellion has not changed."
After reading it, Qin Hao immediately smiled and sighed in his heart: "The Yellow Turban Rebellion in original history was started in a hurry due to a sudden informant from Tang Zhou. Because there was no complete preparation and no assistance from top talents, it spread everywhere and the power was too scattered. In addition, Zhang Jiao died of illness unexpectedly. Although it was a massive uprising that affected eight states and had millions of followers, it was still defeated one by one by Huangfu Song and other famous generals. It became the largest uprising in Chinese history with the largest number of people. It is a pity that it was forcibly suppressed in less than a year!
In this life, I have to remind you that the Taiping Sect has been fully prepared, and with the assistance of those guys summoned by Balance, if something happens suddenly, the Han Dynasty will definitely be caught off guard. "
"Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao, as the first 'big meal' I, Qin Hao, give to the Han Dynasty, you have to hold on a little longer. If you don't mess up the world, how can you be worthy of my good intentions?" !" A sneer flashed across Qin Hao's lips, and he thought secretly in his heart.
After four years of study tour, Qin Hao discovered that the world is actually very deep. Although hundreds of schools of thought, except Confucianism and Taoism, have disappeared from the world, there are still occasional traces in the world. The relationship between the court, aristocratic families and the world is even more complicated. complex.
Although the Great Han Dynasty is riddled with holes, it can still stand firm under the covetousness of so many forces. This shows that its heritage is still very rich. Even if the Taiping Religion has the assistance of summoned characters, it is still not easy to overthrow the Great Han Dynasty. That's why Qin Hao tried to strengthen the Taiping Sect's strength.
Secretly telling Zhang Jiao about the Tang and Zhou Dynasties, recommending Dr. Zhang to treat Zhang Jiao, and even secretly selling food and weapons to the Taiping Religion, etc., are all to balance the power between the Han and the Yellow Turbans. The stronger the Yellow Turbans, the better the world. If there is chaos, the Qin family will be more likely to recover!
Of course, the Qin family's help to the Taiping Sect is secretive and limited. If the Taiping Sect really defeats the Han Dynasty and takes over the world, Qin Hao will really cry.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao picked up a pen and paper and wrote on the silk: Order Huang Zi No. 1 Secret Agent to continue lurking and make other arrangements after the Taiping Rebellion.
Looking at the goshawk flying in the sky, Qin Hao was filled with pride. There was absolutely no force in the world that trained birds to deliver messages, and the Qin family was hundreds of years ahead of this era in delivering messages.
In the past four years, under the leadership of his mother Jia Yu, the Qin family's caravan has firmly grasped the four industries of grain, cloth, iron and horse, vigorously developed them, and made money crazily. Now the Qin family's business in these four industries has spread all over Yongliang and Yansi. Prefecture, and the Qin family thus became the fifth largest business family in the Han Dynasty after the four families of Zhen Mi, Wei and Wu.
After sufficient funds, Qin Wen began to establish an intelligence organization unique to the Qin family: Black Ice Platform. However, although there is a large amount of money as a backing, an intelligence organization cannot be established only with money. Qin Wen is not good at this aspect, so he has to turn to Qin Hao for help.
Qin Hao used his one-month vacation each year after studying to help his father establish the Black Ice Platform. "By the way" he also formed an organization that was named under the Black Ice Platform, but was independent of the Black Ice Platform and completely obeyed his own orders: Jinyiwei.
Compared with Hebingtai, which has thousands of people, Jinyiwei is much smaller, but the internal personnel of Jinyiwei are all elites, and the lurking tasks they perform are much more difficult than those of Heibingtai.
There are currently four lurkers with the most successful implementation of Jinyiwei and the greatest role. Qin Hao calls them: the four secret agents, and distinguishes their importance by the black and yellow colors of heaven and earth. The No. 1 agent with the yellow character is Qin Hao's secret agent in the Taiping Sect. Undercover, it was through him that the information about Tang Zhou was delivered to Zhang Jiao.
"The world is in chaos, and the remaining three months seem to be my last preparation time! Alas, the water in this era is too deep, and it is far from being as simple as described in historical novels. Hundreds of families, big Hans, aristocratic families, and There are many secrets that I haven't figured out yet. Forget it, let's see if we can find out anything from the master. At the very least, we have to ask who the mysterious senior brother is!" Qin Hao thought secretly in his heart.
…
The first year of Zhongping (March 184 AD).
In the sixty-first year of Jiazi, the long-lasting peace of the Han Empire ushered in a "big earthquake". The Taiping Sect, the largest Taoist religion, actually launched an army to rebel.
On March 1st, millions of followers of the Taiping Sect, led by the leader Zhang Jiao, wrapped their heads in yellow scarves and became known as the Yellow Turban Army. They chanted "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, the age of Jiazi, the world is good" and "Rebellion". The tyrants, kill the foolish kings, punish the treacherous traitors, and destroy the evil spirits!" slogans, openly raising troops to rebel.
After Zhang Jiao's edict, the whole country was in an uproar, and heroes from all over the country raised troops to respond.
Han Sui of Xiliang and Beigong Boyu instigated the Qiang people to rebel again. Zhang Chun of Yuyang responded to Zhang Jiao's call and raised troops to fight against the Han. Yan Baihu of Wu County directly led the army to attack the governor's house and kill the prefect. There were also the Chaohu thief Zheng Bao and the Jiangxia thief Chen Ying, Donghai Pirates, Baibo Pirates, etc.
The entire Han Dynasty was caught in the flames of war everywhere.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, who had been immersed in wine and sex, was shocked when he first learned that the scale of the rebellion was so large. All the officials in the Luoyang court were also shocked. Rebellions occurred every year, but who I never expected that this time it would be the Taiping Sect, and it would come so suddenly and so fiercely.
Naturally, it was impossible for such a big movement of Zhang Jue to go unnoticed. In fact, someone had noticed it a long time ago, but they kept silent. In addition, Feng Xu, one of the ten chief servants, was bribed to cover for Zhang Jue inside the court. So no one listens to this type of voice.
And as we all know, Confucianism and Taoism have always been the most loyal supporters of the Han Dynasty. They are the two sharp swords of the Han Dynasty. They suppressed the rebellions of hundreds of families and maintained local stability. Confucianism and Taoism played an indispensable role.
The Taiping Sect is the largest Taoist religion. If they rebel openly, wouldn't they be against the entire Taoist religion? Where does this leave other schools of Taoism? How does the imperial court view Taoism?
And you, Zhang Jiao, who is over fifty years old, don't want to enjoy peace and happiness, but risk annihilating the nine tribes and raise an army to rebel. What are you trying to do?
Do you want to be an emperor? But even if you conquer the country, how many years can you sit there? And who will inherit it? You, Zhang Jiao, don’t even have a son.
Officials loyal to the Han Dynasty could not understand the motive of Zhang Jiao's rebellion. Han Emperor Liu Hong could not understand it. Future princes such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not understand it. Even Qin Hao did not understand it. But it was unclear whether he understood it or not. It's important, the Yellow Turban Uprising has begun, and the Han Empire is in danger.
At first, the rebels entered various places under the guise of preaching, but they suddenly broke into trouble. Under internal and external attacks, the officers and soldiers stationed in various places were defeated, and many cities fell.
The first thing the rebels did after they entered the city was to open warehouses and release grain to help the poor people, and then they killed corrupt officials and powerful people.
When the poor people saw that the corrupt officials and landlords who usually rode on their heads to dominate were killed one after another, they applauded and shouted that the sky has eyes. Many people therefore joined the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army. The scale also grew rapidly like a snowball.
