A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 355 The golden cicada escapes from its shell, the structure of civilization

After the recovery of Xan County, all the barbarian chaos in Lujiang County has been put down. Now there are only sporadic barbarians left, and there are no large barbarian armies.

The entire experience of the past few months was carefully written in a memorial, and the soldiers under his command were asked to take credit based on their merits. After finishing writing, Lu Zhi handed the memorial to his knight and asked him to hurry up and send it to Luoyang, waiting for the next step of asking for instructions.

Guanghe three years
May
Lu Zhi's memorial arrived in Luoyang. Liu Hong was very happy to see that the Lujiang rebellion had subsided, and ordered Lu Zhi to be promoted to the rank of Shizhong and Shangshu. The other meritorious officials were rewarded, either promoted or rewarded. He also ordered Lu Zhi to take all the forbidden troops to return to the court on another day.

Among them, Sun Jian, the county lieutenant of Xunyang County who made great achievements in this battle, was promoted by Liu Hong to the Sima of Jiujiang County, and was accompanied by weapons and a set of armor and stomach as rewards.

The Banzhen Barbarian Rebellion in Hanzhong was calmed down after Cheng Bao took up the position of prefect and relied on his prestige in Hanzhong and his fair and just style of conduct. The barbarians all retreated into the mountains, and the Shu land became stable again.

Seeing that the world was at peace, Liu Hong fell into the fun of Xiyuan again, leaving all political affairs to the new Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang and Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong.

In Shu County, Sun Jian bid farewell to Lu Zhi who was returning to the army. He stood in the open field, looked at the vast sky, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this moment: "Sun, let me revive from this moment!"

Sun Jian was a native of Fuchun County, Wu County. His ancestor was Sun Yin, Marquis of Dongyang. He was originally one of the five clans of the Bai Kingdom. He was hated by the Bai clan for rebelling against Bai and defecting to the Han. Although he was saved by Liu Bang, after Liu Bang's death, the influence of the Bai clan declined. After entering the center of the Han court, Sun Yin did not dare to stay in Chang'an anymore and ran back to his fiefdom in Kuaiji County.

During the reign of Emperor Ren, the power of the Bai family in the Han court reached its peak. As a descendant of Empress Ren, he was also an important minister in the court and the founding prince of the country. Sun's life in Kuaiji County was very difficult.

The local county guards watched Sun's every move, trying to find faults in them and ask Bai for credit.

But Sun Yin was not a fool. He died in depression after leaving behind the last words of the Bai family that the Sun family could not violate the rules for a day. This descendant of Sun Wu and Sun Bin, the natural military genius of the Bai Kingdom, was like this in this barbaric wilderness. Di, holding the profound art of war, died on the bed.

After Sun Yin's death, it does not mean that the Bai family let the Sun family go. Perhaps Sun Yin did not expect that the Bai family's influence would last so long in the court, and even controlled the government for a time.

Therefore, the Sun family in Dongyang did not produce a single central official during the Han Dynasty, and even the position of county official in Kuaiji County rarely fell into the hands of the Sun family.

Because of being suppressed, the development of the Sun family was very difficult. At that time, the Bai family chamber of commerce spread all over the world. As a county, Dongyang should have a business point. But for some reason, in the entire Kuaiji County, only Dongyang County did not have one. .

As a result, the development of the Sun family was gradually cut off, and the descendants dispersed. The original county was reduced to the small village it is today, which is Dongyang Village.

The title of Marquis of Dongyang was also deprived during the reign of Emperor Wu because he did not pay enough tribute. The Sun family was completely reduced to a powerful man. And as time went by, even the status of a powerful man could not be guaranteed, and he could only live in a village. Survive.

If the Sun family had not inherited the most comprehensive art of war and training methods in the world, I am afraid that they would have been completely ignored by everyone during the Pre-Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian's ancestors were the direct descendants of the Sun family who escaped from Dongyang during the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty. They took their inheritance with them and settled in Fuchun County, Wu County, and gradually developed into a small tycoon. In order to prevent others from happening They should not have thought about it, but they never mentioned the origin of their surname Sun.

In order to prevent the rise of their own family from being blocked by the Bai family, when a genius like Sun Jian, who showed his martial arts fame at a young age, appeared, the Fuchun Sun family decided to send him to Lujiang County to serve in order to completely get rid of the Dongyang Sun family. Influence.

Facts have proved that the Sun family's golden cicada escape strategy is very successful. Today, when the Bai family is gradually beginning to separate its own body, the Bai family has no intention to explore whether a small powerful family named Sun is the Bai family's traitor.

As long as the Sun family and Dongyang don't appear together, they will basically not attract the Bai family's attention. Of course, if the Sun family becomes an important force that affects the direction of the world in the future, or if there are several important people named Sun who are famous in the world,

In order to understand the trends in the world, the Bai family collected their information, and the Fuchun Sun family could no longer hide it. But by then, it was hard to say how the Bai family would deal with them.

The reason why Sun Jian was able to charge into battle and command the army at the age of thirty like a veteran on the battlefield was because of the general, military training, military and physical training methods passed down from his ancestors.

These were all secretly stolen by Sun Yin from other clans in the Bai Kingdom when he defected from the Bai Kingdom to the Han Dynasty.

Among them, in addition to the general method of war, the training method belongs to the Yuan family, the military method belongs to the Quan family, and the body training method belongs to the Bai family. These are precious and mature experiences and systems gained by the Four Masters after hundreds of years of continuous experimentation and trial and error.

December

When the nobleman He gave birth to the prince Bian, Liu Hong was overjoyed and made He his queen. Queen He's father, He Zhen, was posthumously granted the titles of General of Chariots and Cavalry and Marquis of Xuande of Wuyang; his mother was brought to live in the palace and granted the title of Lord of Wuyang.

His eldest brother He Jin and his second brother He Miao were both recruited into the imperial court to hold important positions. He Jin was promoted to Shizhong, General Dajiang, Henan Yin, and He Miao was promoted to Huben Zhonglang General.

The He family was so prosperous for a while, it seemed that since the last prominent Dou family relative disappeared, the family group seemed to be on the stage of history again.

Nowadays, the eunuchs headed by the Twelve Middle School Ministers have exclusive power in the court, while the imperial party headed by the Yuan family of Runan are like quails, completely invisible to the eunuchs' wanton actions. Even the Qingliu ministers, headed by Taiwei Yang Ci, resisted the eunuchs openly and covertly. However, they all failed because of Liu Hong's indulgence of the twelve permanent servants, and instead lost many imperial humerus.

Nowadays, if the nobles of the He family want to influence the government, they must confront the eunuchs. This is an ally that comes to the door of the Qing Dynasty.

Not only that, when the He family was not yet a prominent figure, He Jin served as the prefect of Yingchuan because of He Guiren's status. During his tenure in Yingchuan, he had a very good relationship with the scholars of the Qing Dynasty, which further laid the foundation for deeper cooperation between the two parties.

Yingchuan is one of the gathering places for the great families in the world, and it is also an important base of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Xun family in Yingyin County, the Chen family in Xu County, the Zhong family in Changshe County, and the Yu family in Yanling are the largest in Yingchuan County. The four major clans and families.

The entire world is roughly divided into three factions.

First of all, the Bai family in Hebei is the main one, which can be called the Bai sect. The members are mainly the aristocratic families separated from the Bai Kingdom. Most of them are concentrated in Hebei.

The Bai faction has a strict organization, a clear division of labor, and with Bai as the leader, it can exert 90% of its power, so it has the most power and resources in the world.

The base areas of the Bai faction are mainly in the Bai Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Bohai County, Henan Yin, Qinghe Kingdom, Hanoi County, etc. Among them, the Bai clan of the Bai Kingdom, the Liu clan of Zhongshan, the Yuan clan of Bohai, the Bai clan of Luoyang, the Cui clan of Qinghe, and the Zhang clan of Hanoi Shi is the best among them.

Since the Bai faction occupied mostly wealthy and aristocratic counties and received a lot of help and guidance from the Bai family, they were the most powerful.

Secondly, the aristocratic families that have been cooperating with the Bai family since the Han Dynasty can be called the middle school.

They have the largest number of people and cover the entire Han Dynasty. However, it is precisely because they are too scattered and have no clear leadership. Therefore, although they are the largest, they cannot exert their full strength. If they can exert only 40% to 50%, it is considered good. .

In addition, in the process of the rise of the middle faction, although they were more independent than the big clans that separated from the Bai Kingdom and received relatively less influence, they were not completely freed from the influence of the Bai clan, because the Bai clan The layout was too early and the foundation was buried too deep.

As a result, they mostly obeyed the Bai family and joined factions led by the Bai family. The Qing faction in the court was a typical representative.

Their main base areas are Yingchuan County, Hongnong County, Nanyang County, Hedong County, Shu area, etc.

Among them, the Xun clan of Yingchuan, the Yang clan of Hongnong, the Deng clan of Nanyang, and the Sima clan of Hedong are all leaders among them. Of course, this does not mean that there is only one clan in a county. Often, there are at least four or five clans in each of these counties. Clan, so that it can be regarded as a concentration of aristocratic families.

Finally, there are those aristocratic families that compete with the Bai family, and were even once hostile. Most of them act in accordance with the emperor's face and exist dependent on the imperial power.

They will bite whomever the emperor says to hit, so they have an on-again, off-again relationship with the Bai family, and they can be called the emperor's faction.

Their origins are mixed, most of their members developed outside the Bai family's sphere of influence, and their alliance is also more loose.

However, because their power was too weak, they subconsciously united and introduced a recognized spokesperson, the Runan Yuan family.

Just because the Yuan family of Runan came from the regular system of the Bai sect, the ancestor of the family, and was a regular army.

Their main members include the Yuan family of Runan, the Zhuge family of Langya, the Xiahou family of Qiaoxian County, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Ma family of Fufeng, the Lu family of Wuxian County, the Wuzhong family, and some of the Liu family members.

Among them, due to the special reason that the emperor's surname is Liu, and the Liu family has relatives all over the world, their strength is not small, and most of them are people with noble titles, so strictly speaking, it can form its own system.

However, due to some special reasons, the Liu clan was extremely scattered and participated in all three aristocratic factions. However, they were only included in the Emperor's faction because they accounted for an overly heavy proportion in the Emperor's faction.

Of course, the world is so big, and there must be more than just the aristocratic families mentioned above. Each county has as few as two or three, as many as four or five, and the number is hundreds.

However, the influence of these aristocratic families mentioned above has exceeded that of a county, and they already have a certain influence on the world's trends. Even among the important official and military positions in the imperial court and local areas, the children of the above-mentioned aristocratic families occupy fifty-six out of ten.

There are thousands of powerful and powerful families below who rely on them.

The entire Han Dynasty is composed of hundreds of thousands of aristocratic families, tens of thousands of powerful people, millions of ordinary families, and tens of millions of common people. They unified and launched the most powerful Liu family and became the emperor. Select a member of the Bai family with the deepest wisdom to serve as the emperor's right hand.

The Han chariot, with Liu as the commander and Bai as the right, rumbled forward, crushing all the foreign obstacles that blocked the chariot's progress, and became the most powerful force within their sight. civilization.
