The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 190 Control Youzhou
In December of the seventh year of Guanghe (184), the emperor changed his year name to the first year of Zhongping.

Unknowingly, we came to the second year of Zhongping (185).

This year is destined to be uneventful.

In February, a fire broke out in Luoyang, the capital, and Nangong was destroyed.Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others advised the emperor to tax the land to build palaces and cast bronze figures.

So the Emperor of the Han Dynasty decreed that in addition to the normal rent and tax, a tax of ten yuan per mu should be paid to help build the palace.

He also issued an edict to distribute wood, wood, and aragonite in the prefecture of the prefecture, and transported the capital to the capital.

In addition, it was stipulated that when the governor, prefect, Maocai, and Xiaolian were removed, they would all have to pay money to help the army build the palace. Except for those who were granted large counties, they would have to pay 3000 to [-] million yuan.Before new officials take office, they must first go to Xiyuan to negotiate the amount of money.

Please hand it in at that time, or some people may not be able to pay it all and commit suicide.Therefore, when a new official takes office, he must compete to plunder the people and amass wealth as compensation.The people complained.

At that time, Sima Zhi, the governor of Julu in Hanoi, was newly removed. In order to have a clear name, his responsibilities were reduced by 300 million.When he was ordered to do so, he said sadly: "I can't bear to do it for the sake of the people's parents, but to cut off the people in order to satisfy their needs." He said that he was ill and refused to listen.When he arrived at Mengjin, he wrote a letter to express his regrets at that time, and committed suicide by swallowing medicine.

According to the book, the emperor temporarily cut off the money to repair the palace.

The Yellow Turban is back.

This time the Yellow Turbans became smarter. Instead of fighting the government head-on, they fought guerrillas and harassed places, but they never occupied a city or a pond.

Since the Zhangjiao Rebellion, bandits have joined together, including Zhang Niujiao of Boling, Chu Feiyan of Changshan, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, Yu Digen, Zhang Baiqi, Liu Shi, Zuo Xiaowenba, Pinghan Daji, Sili Yuancheng, and Leigong. , Fuyun, Baique, Yangfeng, Yudu, Wulu, Li Damu, Bairao, Suigu, and Kunji were countless, the big ones numbered 7000 to [-], and the small ones numbered [-].

Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan joined forces to attack Yingtao. Niujiao was hit by an arrow and died, so they ordered them to serve Feiyan as their commander and change their surname to Zhang.

There were many bandits and thieves in the valley, and their tribesmen lived in a large area, numbering almost a million, and they were called "Black Mountain Bandits". All counties and counties in Hebei were harmed by them, and the court could not punish them.

The emperor had no choice but to hand over the matter to Liu Han. The meaning was obvious, "The Yellow Turban has not subsided yet, so hurry up and go!"

Liu Han was helpless. These were the Yellow Turbans distributed all over Jizhou. After Zhang Jiao died, they temporarily ceased their activities, but the imperial court began to impose excessive taxes again. They couldn't stand it and had no choice but to rebel again.

Liu Han was sent out before he had a good year.

However, before leaving, Liu Han specifically asked the emperor for the right to act expediently, "Don't worry about how I use to quell the rebellion, as long as I do so."

The emperor agreed.

Let’s talk about Liu Han.

Push back in time to the light and seven years.

Liu Han returned triumphantly after suppressing the rebellion in August. After the reward was over, everyone except Huang Zhong returned to Bingzhou with him.

After all, Liu Han now has military and political power over the nine counties of Bingzhou and the six counties of Youzhou.

Youzhou has a total of ten counties and one vassal state, including Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Xuantu County, Lelang County, and Liaodong County. Due to Wuhuan, Liaoxi Xianbei, and Goguryeo, it now nominally belongs to the Han Dynasty. In fact, it has long been divided up by these Xiaoxiao. Of course, There are many careerists here who like to cause trouble, such as the Gongsun family in Liaoxi.

Without going into too much detail about Bingzhou, let’s talk about some personnel changes: the original Bie Jia Jushou was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou; the former prefect of Xihe, Duan Jiong, was promoted to the governor of Youzhou; the former commander-in-chief of Yunzhong, Huang Zhong, was transferred to the post of Sili Xiaowei; the former Youzhou Guo Xun, He was transferred to Xihe Prefecture to make up for Duan Jue's errand; Huang Zhong was replaced by Zhao Yun; Dong Zhao resigned as Shangdang Prefecture, and Tian Feng was appointed as Shangdang Prefecture; (Guoyuan served as Yanmen Prefecture) Liu Han transferred Guoyuan back, and now The person who took over as Prime Minister of Hejian was Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu).

The main reason is that considering the changes in the future, Liu Han can rest assured that Shangdang has Tian Feng.

The remaining governors of Dingxiang, Zheng Yi, Wuyuan governor, Guo Yao, Shangjun governor, Chen Jun, Yunzhong governor, Wen Shu, and Shuofang governor, Wang Ze remain unchanged.

In terms of generals, except for necessary passes, the Bingzhou army moved to Youzhou in addition to county soldiers (tuntian soldiers). The rest was commanded by Xu Rong, and his generals included Xu Huang, Yan Xing, Wang Rou, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu. , Hao Zhao, Duan Xuan, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci.

Among them, Yan Xing no longer guarded Pianguan, but was transferred to Mengjinguan. Once there was a change in Luoyang, the army would immediately cross the Yellow River and go south.

Hao Zhao guarded Guanghe City, and Chen Zhen, the magistrate of Guanghe County.

Duan Xuan was still responsible for building cities and roads for prisoners of war and slaves as before, but the number of men under his command increased from [-] to [-].

Wang Rou was transferred to Yanmen Pass. In order to ensure Liu Han's control over the northern grasslands, Yanmen Pass was transformed after two years and can now station 5000 people, which is in close contact with the 8000 people of Hao Zhao in Guanghe City.

The remaining 7000 people were under the unified command of Xu Rong.Next, let’s focus on the six clean counties of Youzhou currently under Liu Han’s actual control:
Zhuojun governs Zhuo County, with 7 counties under its jurisdiction, 102218 households, and a population of 633754;

Guangyang County governs Ji County, with 5 counties under its jurisdiction, 44550 households, and a population of 280600;

Daijun governs Gaoliu, with 11 counties under its jurisdiction, 20123 households, and a population of 126188;

Shanggu County governs Juyang, with 8 counties under its jurisdiction, 10352 households, and a population of 51204;

Yuyang County governs Yuyang, with jurisdiction over 9 counties, 68456 households, and a population of 435740;

Youbeiping County governs Tuyin, and has jurisdiction over 4 counties, 9170 households, and a population of 53475;

The six counties have a total of 254869 households and 1580961 people.

Of course, this is an official statistic.

After a round of purges, after all the nobles, hidden powerful people, and private soldiers were handed over, there were about 30 more people in the six counties.

It was still early for Liu Han to take action. The further back he went, the harder it would be to deal with it. This shows how good an appetite these greedy guys have.

When Liu Han arrived in Youzhou, he naturally had a lot to do, and the cake needed to be divided again, so he brought a lot of people with him.

Civil servants: Duan Jiong, Dong Zhao, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Li Yan and Guo Jia.

Military generals: Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao.

Needless to say, Dian Wei is Liu Han's personal bodyguard.

The remaining six people were reasonably distributed to the remaining six counties, and they conducted a secondary cleanup and re-recruitment and selection of troops to form a new army.

Where has Gongsun Zan gone?

Liu Han transferred him to Liaoxi County and served as the governor of Liaoxi.

Although Gongsun Zan came from the Liaoxi Gongsun family, he had no good impression of the Liaoxi Gongsun family. The Liaoxi Gongsun family only brought endless pain to his youth.

Therefore, Liu Han very considerately transferred Gongsun Zan to Liaoxi County, allowing him to return to his hometown and talk to his relatives.

Very caring!
"Don't worry Bogui, I'm behind you. If anything happens, I'll take care of you!"

Gongsun Zan was filled with gratitude when he left (with murderous intent on his face). The Gongsun family in western Liaoning had occupied this place for many years, and it was luxuriant and deep-rooted. Of course, they needed to find someone who knew the basics to go and have fun with them.

After all, as the actual ruler of Youzhou, he does not have the entire Youzhou in his hands, which is inappropriate.

Therefore, Liu Han's first thing was of course to integrate Youzhou.

Duan Jiong, the governor of Youzhou.

Fan Yang's Lu family was very obedient, so Liu Han asked one of Lu Zhi's sons to replace Duke Sun Zan.

King Shun of Guangyang was named Liu Zheng, and his son Liu Fang (Liu Fang was a descendant of Liu Rong, Marquis of Xixiang, son of Liu Jian, King of Guangyang in the Han Dynasty (son of King Liu Dan of Yanla)) was willing to give up his title and family property in exchange for peace for his family. Cheng Yu's "Yellow Turban" is really scary.

Liu Han could not depress the hearts of his clan members, so he ordered Liu Zheng to serve as the right governor of Beiping.

Fan Yangli's family was slapped by Cheng Yu, so Liu Han naturally wanted to give her a sweet date and ordered her head Li Yan to go to the valley to be the prefect. Li Yan behaved this time and went to take up his post.

Li Yan, courtesy name Wensheng, was born in Fanyang.Yan is talented in literature, he understands the rhythm of music, and his speech is quick, and he is often admired for his ability to reason.During the reign of Emperor Ling, the prefectures and counties were appointed, but they were not implemented.

This person is a typical example, using the emperor and state and county officials to gain reputation. Unfortunately, he met Liu Han. Liu Han doesn't like to reason with you. If you don't obey, then go to physics.

The governor of Guangyang is naturally Dong Zhao, leaving Li Yan the governor of Yuyang. There is currently no one to serve as the governor of Zhuojun, so Cheng Yu serves as the governor.
