Chapter 583

A decree came out from Luoyang Beigong.

"The Taiping monsters have brought disaster to the country and caused the world to be in turmoil. I am deeply worried.

Are there any great sages who were lost in the countryside because of the involvement of party members?

Are there any heroes who cannot be reused by the court because they were born in nearby counties?
Are there any brave men in the countryside who want to serve the court but don't know where to go?

I am now determined to change these things. If there are great sages who are tolerant of culture and martial arts, heroes of border counties, and brave talents, they can come to the court to seek official positions, and they can recruit village heroes from the counties and counties to wipe out the Taiping Army.

I will give rewards according to the size of the merits, and I will never let any pearl be lost in the sea. "

Let go of party restraints and allow scholars to participate in politics freely.

Recruit troops on the spot and allow the nobles to freely develop their armed forces.

This decree is like the wind, along the roads extending in all directions in Luoyang to the world.

Luo Xiao was so close to Luoyang, so he was naturally the first to receive the news.

Long before this decree appeared, Luo Xiao already knew that it would be so. The imperial court's forbidden army could not be rebuilt in a short time, so it was doomed to rely on local armed forces.

Bangzhou took this old road back then, and in the end the princes took power.

However, the situation of the Han court is much better than that of the Bangzhou royal family, and the systems between the two sides are completely different.

Even if the powerful armed forces have developed to a certain extent, the imperial court still has the upper hand in terms of righteousness and strength.

As long as the emperor's wrists are strong enough, these powerful armed forces are nothing more than making wedding dresses for the royal family.

……

By the side of the big river, Luo Xiao stood with his hands behind his back.

He hadn't been able to make him so solemn in the previous confrontation with Huangfusong. He knew that what he was facing this time was the real heroes of the world. The heroes of the entire Han court stood against him.

The man's fate came to an abrupt end, and Luo Xiao didn't know what level of heroes would appear.

If he had the level of those heroes at the end of Qin, it would be difficult even for him if he wanted to pacify the world and level the heroes.

"Cough cough."

The streaks of blood on the white cloth were bright and eye-catching, Luo Xiao's eyes darkened, "It's a pity, I don't know how many heroes I will have the opportunity to meet.

Will the Taiping Army be the foundation of your rise? "

For the Taiping Army, Luo Xiao's judgment is that there is a serious shortage of talents, and it cannot make up for it.

Not to mention those rich and famous families, even the children of poor families, and even the most ordinary businessmen, small landlords, handicraft owners, etc., would not join the Taiping Army.

Once he died, the Taiping Army, which lost its spiritual support, would soon be useless, and would even turn into a thief like officers and soldiers.

But Luo Xiao doesn't care about these futures, life in this world doesn't have to be perfect, as long as one big thing is done is enough.

The same is true for the Taiping Army. As long as they complete a major event and push the decaying Han court into the abyss of eternal doom, it is enough for thousands of years of history to remember their names.

……

The edict issued by the imperial court soon passed through the counties and counties. The Taiping Army's uprising was massive, but in fact most of the counties and counties were still under the control of the Han court.

It's just that as more cities lost order, more and more ordinary people joined the Taiping Army.

In the counties where the Taiping Army broke out concentratedly, those powerful families were basically destroyed. Not to mention the ordinary powerful landlords, even the top families could not escape.

In addition to Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanyu, two populous states, had the most serious outbreaks, and these two areas suffered the most severely.

The Lu family has occupied Linzi County and Jiaodong Kingdom in Qingzhou for 300 years. The clan members don't know how many people, the goal is really too big, and it can be said that they have suffered heavy losses.

This is not just about the Taiping Army in Qingzhou, but also in the past 300 years, there are many branches, gradually branching out, and without the strict management of the Rock family, the relationship between the branches of the Lu family is quite intricate.

Especially in the later Han Dynasty, some branch veins were more prosperous than the main vein, which caused the relationship between the various veins to be unharmonious.

And as the prestige of the county gradually rises, except for the Luo family, which is the only surname in the world.

Controversy over who is the first surname happens from time to time.

Especially Linzi Lu and Jimo Lu, Huaiyin Han and Anyang Han, the differences between these two surnames are brought out from time to time.

Some people talk too much, and it will hurt their peace. This is a very normal behavior.

It's okay to face the Luo family, but no one wants to be the second child when facing other families. It is only because they are of the same clan that they have to compete for superiority and inferiority. This is human nature.

Just like in the early stage of the battle between heroes in real history, all the wars revolve around the dispute between the two Yuans. People often say that if they work together, the Yuan family will win the championship long ago, but the fact is that it is impossible to work together.

Whether it is the power of his subordinates or the personal wishes between the two, it is doomed that the dispute between the two Yuans will not stop.

Except for the Rock family, no family can change this situation.

Now that the imperial court has loosened the restrictions, there are many heroes in Qingzhou. Naturally, the Lu family cannot fall behind. Once they fall behind, they will not only encounter encirclement and suppression by other people, but also guard against attacks from their own family members.

After receiving the edict from Luoyang, the governors and prefects of Zhuzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, except for a few Jinling Liehou, these eunuchs were not qualified to recruit more people at all, and could only recruit heroes in the name of a kind of security team.

Now that the imperial court has given the order, they can directly recruit these heroes in an open and honest manner.

With the relaxation of the imperial court's ban, not many scholars went to serve in the imperial court. The main reason is that the world is more chaotic and the dangers encountered when traveling increase.

It's better to stay directly between the states and counties and go to the prefect's shogunate to serve.

The two thousand stone prefects who were under the supervision of the six hundred stone governors on weekdays are now considered to be masters.

As the highest officer of a county, the eunuchs had great power, and the later Han did not have as many Jinling Lieutenants as the early Han, with more military power in their hands, and the governor was just a supervisor, these eunuchs immediately ignored him.

Some of these prefects are the heirs of the Liehou family, and the family eunuchs have two thousand stones. Although they cannot be prefects in this county because of the three mutual laws, the effect of being prefects in other counties in the prefecture is similar.

It can also exchange political resources with the two thousand stone families in neighboring counties, and even achieve marriages between families.

From this, we can see the difference between the Liehou families of the Early Han and the Later Han.

The Liehou family in the pre-Han Dynasty was special. Even a wealthy family with five surnames and seven families usually chose to marry the princes and kings, or marry the Confucian classics family in Chang'an.

But the Liehou families in the Later Han Dynasty were different. Except for a few families who supported Emperor Guangwu, the Jinling had not been granted for 100 years.

This is related to the situation in the late Han Dynasty.

At the end of the early Han Dynasty, due to the rebellion of the princes and kings, the Later Han Dynasty was quite defensive against the close clan clans, but the distant clan clans benefited from it. Kingdoms that reached one county basically disappeared.

In the Later Han Dynasty, Liehou also basically became an honorary title. The imperial court hardly conferred the title of County Marquis, and being able to confer the title of Township Marquis was considered a grand grace, not to mention the Marquis of a Thousand Households or even the Marquis of a Hundred Households.

The importance of an official position exceeds that of a title, but the advantage of having a title is that you can get a stable position of two thousand stones.

----

In ancient dynasties, the exertion of power to the localities was always seen as the beginning of chaos, but in fact it was a reverse effect. The exertion of power to the localities was the result of chaos, not the cause. It is when the situation is resolved that the place is empowered.

Because the locality is not the beginning of destruction. During the Western Han Dynasty, several emperors solved the problem of excessive power of the local princes and ensured the stability of the country. It is incorrect to attribute the decline of the Han Dynasty to the strengthening of local power. .

In the following chapters, the author will explain the many factors of the decline and fall of the Han Dynasty through the experience of the Taiping Uprising. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
