Chapter 405: What the People Want
When Yang Gun chose to stay, his end was already doomed, but to Yang Gun's own satisfaction, he did not die of suicide but died on the battlefield.
Zhang Jiao deeply admired Yang Gun's loyalty, so after breaking through the inner city, he issued an order to capture him alive. However, he did not expect that this move would make Yang Gun famous forever.
The first person to discover Yang Gun was Zhu Yuanzhang. Faced with the enemy's heavy siege, Yang Gun launched a suicidal charge towards the Yellow Turbans with the mentality of killing everyone and earning a profit, and rode alone in the direction of Zhang Jiao.
Because of this horn's order, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally restrained, but Yang Gun became more and more happy as he killed.
In the end, Yang Gun, who was nearly sixty years old, dragged his exhausted body from the inner city to the outer city, and no one could stop him head-on.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he was speechless. It was hard to believe that Yang Gun was a sixty-year-old man.
If Yang Gun was allowed to continue killing like this, it might be possible to rush to Zhang Jiao's location, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take action himself.
Even when facing Yang Gun, an extremely tired veteran, Zhu Yuanzhang did not face it alone. Instead, he carefully chose to join forces with Generals Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng to prepare to capture Yang Gun alive.
But the final outcome was beyond everyone's expectation. Not only did the three generals Zhu Yuanzhang fail to capture Yang Gun alive, but Yang Gun seized the opportunity to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive.
That's right, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was actually captured alive, and he was still a veteran. This became Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest shame in this life.
After Yang Gun captured Zhu Yuanzhang alive, he took Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage and fled all the way to Zhang Jue's location. He wanted to kill Zhang Jue alone, but there was almost no possibility of success.
Yang Gun can survive to this day entirely because Zhang Jiao issued the order to be captured alive, and he was able to challenge the three generals of Zhu Yuanzhang in a single fight because of his life-threatening fighting style.
Therefore, it is a miracle that Yang Gun was able to come all the way to Zhang Jiao under his own control.
But if you want to kill Zhang Jiao, not to mention Xiang Yulong and other generals, even the two great guards Dian Wei and Xu Ding, the tired Yang Gun cannot be his opponent.
Yang Gun naturally knew that it was impossible to kill Zhang Jue, but he still resolutely rode towards Zhang Jue alone.
In the end, under the witness of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people, Yang Gun was shot to death by thousands of arrows on the way to the charge.
The order to release the arrows was naturally given by Zhang Jiao, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was spared a life by Yang Gun, felt extremely complicated when he saw Yang Gun with arrows all over his body.
After seeing Zhang Jiao, Zhu Yuanzhang had no use value. Yang Gun originally wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was about to take action, Zhu Yuanzhang's words before his death made Yang Gun change his mind.
In front of thousands of troops, Yang Gun stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's back. Just when he was about to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say unwillingly: "I swore to the great virtuous teacher that I will fight for the people of the world all my life, but I ended up dying like this." , I’m really unwilling to accept it.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words seemed to have touched a chord in Yang Gun's heart, and finally made Yang Gun change his attention.
"Let's go." Yang Gun let go of his feet and said indifferently.
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes anxiously and asked carefully: "Aren't you going to kill me?"
Yang Gun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Get out of here before I change my mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was relieved, dared to stay longer, but he was stopped by Yang Gun again before he could take two steps.
"etc."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around with difficulty and said with some despair: "Old General, you regretted it so soon?"
Yang Gun stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said coldly: "Boy, remember what you said. If one day you break your promise, I will return as a ghost and drag you into hell."
Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva and said seriously: "I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will never break my oath."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also frightened afterwards. If it hadn't been for those words, he would have been dead.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang never took the initiative to fight against generals in person.
Yang Gun died in an extremely tragic way in front of the Yellow Turban and the people of Luoyang, and his deeds soon spread throughout the world.
Thirty thousand soldiers were alone in the city, facing an army of 700,000 attacking the city, but they defeated the Yellow Turban army of 100,000.
Such a record of defending the city is simply a miracle.
Although Yang Gun's death did not cause any obstacles to the Yellow Turbans, it strengthened the confidence of die-hard Han loyalists.
Yang Gun's achievements, coupled with his tragic death, ultimately made his deeds immortal and praised by future generations.
But the funny thing is that for Yang Gun, a loyal minister who died tragically for the Han Dynasty, the court did not give him a posthumous title.
As for the reason, it was naturally because of the obstruction of the Shi Changshi, which also disappointed everyone in the world.
On the third day after Yang Gun's death, another major event caused a sensation in the world, that is, Zhang Jiao officially announced the implementation of the land and acres system in the Kingdom of Heaven.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Land annexation was also a big problem in all states of the Han Dynasty, and when the Yellow Turbans’ Heavenly Land Acquisition System came out, it could be said to directly break the sky.
How to implement the heavenly land system, to put it bluntly, is to unconditionally seize the land from aristocratic families and then distribute it to the local people according to their population.
The aristocratic family controls most of the world's arable land, and if it were to be redeemed peacefully, the Yellow Turbans simply couldn't afford that much money, so they could only expropriate it by force.
If you expropriate other people's land without giving them compensation, it's no different than digging up someone's ancestral grave. How could a noble family agree?
In the past, whenever the Yellow Turban went to any place, they only targeted the scum of the aristocratic families. In this way, they almost offended all the aristocratic families in the world.
Moreover, the current land system in the Kingdom of Heaven, regardless of whether it is a family that has done good or evil, including those who support the Yellow Turbans, is directly aimed at all the families in the world, and both parties no longer have any room for maneuver.
Sure enough, as soon as the new land policy came out, the aristocratic families under the Yellow Turbans basically collectively opposed it and united to fight against the Yellow Turban policies.
The Yellow Turbans are basically from poor backgrounds, and most of them hate the rich, so their attitude towards aristocratic families has never softened.
Next, naturally, there was another bloody storm that swept through the entire Guandong and Sizhou.
The aristocratic family cried again, and the common people also cried, but one cried in pain, while the other cried in joy.
The people had worked hard all their lives and might not have gotten their own land, but now Zhang Jiao took the initiative to give it to them. This kindness is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, so there is a faint tendency among the people to praise Zhang Jiao as a saint.
Ordinary people are grateful, and they know who is good to them.
Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for the people to have enough to eat, not to mention land, and they were oppressed by corrupt officials and aristocratic families.
Under the rule of the Yellow Turbans, although life is still difficult, the people have hope. Now that the land and acres system in the Kingdom of Heaven has been introduced, the hearts of the people in the world have basically turned to the Yellow Turbans.
Today's Han Dynasty is basically fighting against the people of the world.
