Chapter 415 Scarlet Clothes ([-])
another year later
Summer of the 85th year of Marquis Yan (295)

When the gentry in the Central Plains were sinking, the Hu people who had been migrated to the interior for farming became more and more united, and they hated the exploitation of them by the Jin Dynasty more and more.

"We want to be free, not to be serfs!"

"It's their business that the Han people are willing to serve your gentry as serfs, but please don't let us be serfs too!"

Hu people everywhere rioted almost every year, killing county magistrates and looting granaries and rich families at every turn.

Moreover, the scale of their riots is getting bigger and bigger every year. In the beginning, it was a small group of dozens of people, but now there have been tens of thousands of Hu people gathering together to start riots.

What's even more frightening is that these rioting barbarians will join forces with those Han bandits, and the barbarians and Han people will unite to resist the Jin court.

In Bingzhou, tens of thousands of Huns gathered together and declared that they would establish a country of Huns so that the Huns would no longer be oppressed.

In Liangzhou, nearly [-] Qiang people, together with tens of thousands of Han people, launched an uprising, occupied the city, and clamored to break away from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In Jiangdong, tens of thousands of Shanyue people held up the banner of rebellion, refused to pay taxes to the Jin court, and built fortresses to prevent the private armed forces of Liaodong gentry from entering the Shanyue people's territory to capture people as serfs.

Although these messy rebels were eventually put down by the court, this is not a long-term solution, and it will not be long before turmoil breaks out again.

Against this background, the imperial court increasingly considered the feasibility of "Yilong Lun".

The so-called migration to Long meant that those Hu people who had migrated into the Central Plains would be relocated back to him.

The idea is good, but it just can't be done.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the few 10 people who migrated to Liangzhou alone made the treasury empty and Liangzhou was rebellious.

In the case of the Jin Dynasty, forcibly relocating the Hu people who had settled down would turn the world against them within a few months.

In March, someone once again wrote a letter to migrate the Hu people to leave the Central Plains.

In May, the decision-makers headed by Jananfeng agreed to the plan to relocate the Hu people.

In September, a large number of Huns were forcibly relocated to Monan, Qianghu people were forcibly relocated to the snow-covered plateau, Xianbei people were forcibly relocated to the grasslands, and the rest of the Hu people were forcibly relocated to remote mountain forests.

In November, the Huns, Qianghu people, Xianbei people, and other Hu people all rebelled, and those Han people who had formed families with the Hu people also rebelled together.

It is easy to move in, but it is difficult to move back.

All of a sudden, various places in the Great Jin Dynasty were on fire, and many low-level Han people who were suffering from hunger also saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to rebel, killing officials and robbing granaries.

In May of the following year, that is, in the 86th year of Marquis Yan, the Jin court finally appeased the rebellion of all parties, and promised not to relocate at will.

However, in July, the imperial court backtracked and began to relocate the Hu people by force.

In August, the Hu people rebelled again, and the world was in flames of war again.

In November, Han refugees from all over the country also launched rebellions one after another. Their purpose was simple, to rob the government granary, as long as they would not starve to death.

In February of the third year, that is, in the 87th year of Marquis Yan, Li Te, the leader of the Di tribe, led the Di people to revolt, and joined forces with the local Han refugees to attack the government together.

In July, Li Te brought the Di rebel army and the Han refugee rebel army into Shu, and began to recruit more Han refugees in Shu to expand his rebel team.

In October, the Murong Xianbei branch that was forcibly relocated to the snow-covered plateau stopped directly when they passed through the Hehuang Valley, and established Tuyuhun in the Hehuang Valley, completely breaking away from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In November, the Monan Xianbei tribes rebelled, and the Monan Protectorate collapsed.

In December, the rebellion in the Central Plains was finally suppressed, but the rebellion in the border areas, the Jin court has been powerless.

In the spring of the fourth year, that is, the spring of Yanhou 89, the Jin court finally completely gave up the idea of ​​migrating the Hu people back to the grassland, and continued to recuperate honestly.

In just a few years, the angry people at the bottom slapped the Jin Dynasty severely. When we unite to resist, what is the court and the family?
It wasn't that the Jin Dynasty didn't want to relocate, it was because he couldn't afford to relocate. Even if he was as powerful as a big man, he almost overturned when he relocated the population, not to mention the congenitally deficient Jin Dynasty.

In this large-scale turmoil, the country that has benefited the most is undoubtedly the country of Yan.

As for the slaves, Yan Guo needed as many as they had, and the Spice Islands needed a lot of manpower to cultivate plantations.

Many rebels wanted by the government in Qingzhou and Xuzhou got desperate, boarded the slave ship of Yan State, and went overseas to search for the "Golden Country".

As long as it is a healthy working population, regardless of the Hu people and Han people, all Yan countries want it.

Therefore, some gentry along the coast of Qingzhou and Xuzhou will send private armed forces to capture people and sell them to those guild merchant ships of Yan State, especially a caravan named [Taoyuan], which is now well-known in Xiapi State of Xuzhou. Many gentry in Pi know that Yan State has such a caravan, which has a huge demand for population.

The bad situation did not affect the drunkenness of the gentry, nor did it affect the power struggle in the court.

The richest man, Shi Chong, spent a lot of money and ordered some Yanli (glass) from Yan State at ten times the price. A large number of exquisite Yanli water glasses were displayed in Jingu Garden, and then Shi Chong smashed them in front of all the scholars.

After smashing, Shi Chong was still complacent: "Some worthless things are broken when they are broken."

Then, he looked proudly at the rest of the scholars whose faces were full of envy.

Outside the Golden Valley Garden, some people who had become refugees due to the turmoil in the past few years knelt and begged, begging the scholars and grandfathers in the garden to reward some leftover food.

However, the official officials of the government arrived soon, arrested these beggars and put them in prison, and then sentenced them to death the next day.

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, the heart and tolerance have benefited what they can't do."

"These little people don't know how to work hard, but they always want to get something for nothing by begging. I have never seen such a brazen person."

Shi Chongzheng said in a calm manner, and the rest of the scholars also praised Shi Chong as a noble person who does not go with villains.

"Mr. Shi is Zhang's zifang!"

"Duke Shi is so virtuous, even Duke Yiyin of Zhou should be ashamed of himself!"

When the scholars were sinking, the royal relatives and relatives in the court were also in the same boat.

The Crown Prince Sima Yu has finally grown up and has begun to want to regain power.

Luoyang
White Horse Temple

Wang Miao is reading Buddhist scriptures here to expand her knowledge.

At this time, there was a commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Wang Miao asked a monk.

"There is news from the palace that the crown prince intends to rebel and is now under house arrest. The imperial guards are searching for the prince's remnants in the city." The monk shook his head and replied.

The White Horse Temple has a good relationship with the prince, but it would be bad if they were accidentally implicated.

Sure enough, a group of imperial guards entered the White Horse Temple, but they did not really hunt down the princelings. Instead, after threatening them, they demanded a lot of money from the White Horse Temple and left contentedly.

Also encountered were many wealthy businessmen in Luoyang, who were blackmailed by the imperial guards in various ways, and those who refused to pay were all arrested on charges of colluding with the rebellious party.

This situation seems to have returned to hundreds of years ago, when Jiang Chong and others blackmailed the wealthy businessmen and families in Chang'an on the charge of witchcraft.
