"Nowadays, counties and towns are full of thief caves, and mountains and rivers are battlefields."
"Selected Eastern Literature"
Shilla: Choi Zhiyuan
—I am the dividing line —
However, when Cui Zhiyuan received the order of Wang Jingzheng as the king, he unexpectedly changed from Liangju Mu to Kangju Mu, and lost his jurisdiction over the area around Jin Hae Kyung and the authority to recruit troops on the spot. . And Jin Kyu, the original Southern Recruitment Ambassador, was also re-appointed as Wang Jing Dacheng who also serves as a bandit arrester.
Next, the new king's order then asked to conquer the southern camp, and then pass through the Kangzhou boundary, which has been preliminarily calmed down and obeyed Kangzhou, to calm down the surviving red pants army in Wuzhou, South China Sea. But this time, Cui Zhiyuan failed to get the other party's wish. As a result, the plague broke out in Jin Hae Kyung Nee suddenly in the winter.
Afterwards, many officials and generals who had conquered the southern camps from Cui Zhiyuan and Jin Kyu were ill in succession. Then, in order to prevent the spread of the plague and the nobles who reached Wangjing, even the land and water roads during the journey were blocked by the remaining soldiers, and the tribute to Wangjing from the southwestern counties was naturally suspended.
At this time, another visitor from the north visited Cui Zhiyuan. It's just that when he heard the name of the other party, he couldn't help being surprised and lost his voice on the spot:
"The Confucian Wang Juren who is in the wild came to defect? But the Mr. Juren who made "The Poem of Resentment"?"
After getting a definite answer, Cui Zhiyuan shouted without hesitation:
"Hurry up with Mr. Juren's scene, no, I should meet him in person..."
This is because this Confucian Wang Juren, whose name is Juren, was born in a small family named Sipintou, a place other than the six surnames of the top grade, but he was well-known and erudite. He is also considered a senior among the students who have been sent to the Tang dynasty. But his more famous deeds are related to the true saint queen who has just abdicated in the contemporary era.
We must know that the king's husband and wife Jin Weihong who has passed away from the True Sage Queen was originally an uncle who was more than 20 years older than her; he was also the minister of government (shangda etc.) who had experienced Wang's brother Dingkang and Wang's brother Huikang; it is said that Before the queen came to the throne, he secretly led to it, and then he was able to hold power for more than ten years as a senior and kingly husband.
However, after the death of the king's husband, Jin Weihong, who was an important pillar, the queen began to neglect the affairs of the country, and often summoned dozens of beautiful young people from various families to play and play in the king; therefore, the favored person was awarded the honorable title, noble official, and even the king. The place that made the search for the five capitals and Kyushu, sometimes said, "because of luck and ambition, loan to the public bank, unfair rewards and punishments, and bad discipline."
Because of the treacherous political power and the decline of national affairs, some people used this situation as a cryptic book and posted it on the road to criticize the current political orders and the people. As a result, someone secretly told the queen that this was done by Wang Juren, who was reclusive in Dayezhou and opened a school at the time. As a result, he was tortured to death in prison and made a "Poem of Resentment" saying:
Yu Gongyu cried for three years of drought, and Zou Yan was worried about May Shuang.
Today my sorrow is still like ancient times, the emperor is speechless but pale.
As a result, thunder and hail fell in the night, so the true saint queen was afraid of being guarded by the heavens and worried about being taken by political opponents. In addition, she suddenly contracted the wind and chill and released her in prison. Therefore, he also became famous in the Shilin circles of Silla and became a clear example and a leader of scholars who dare to speak up.
Then it was like following in the footsteps of Wang Ju-in. Whether it was Sangju in the north, Wuju Kangju in the west, or in the local area of Liangju, suddenly many people in the countryside came to defect, including Cui Zhiyuan. In the version, Park Infan, Cui Seungyou, Cui Yanqi and others who were all born in the history of Bingongke Jinshi.
They are all well-known representatives of Chongru and King Support among the Silla scholars, and after returning from school, they have served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Education, and Chongwentai. Silla dispatches more than a hundred international students every ten years or so to study in Tang Dynasty with various missions, and this accumulates a considerable number.
It’s just that compared to Datang’s role as the national reserve, Hongwenguan, Lizhengdian, Dongge, and Hanlinyuan, which are regarded as the Qing Dynasty’s precious beauty, are many other pavilions and palaces; the power of this country is still controlled by the true bones and the sacred bones. Among the descendants of nobles. Therefore, these post-servants who stand by comparison are also idle and empty jobs with a name, clean and inexpensive.
Therefore, under the long unused depression and idleness, returning to the hermit village one after another is the main choice for most of them. Some of them opened museums on the spot to teach their relatives and places to learn and inherit the family, and some joined the ruling wealthy surnames, civilian commanders, and became Zuolao and think tanks, or simply became one of the self-reliant surnames.
However, it is clear that they now have a new option, which is to join this road, which is almost unrivaled in the South Recruitment Camp, and find a way to gain a promotion path from martial arts background. And Cui Zhiyuan, who was the commander of the battalion at the time and was in charge of general affairs, is undoubtedly a successful example and example.
And whether these scholars from all over Silla can be used, or whether they can be in the eyes of Cui Zhiyuan, let alone; but it also brings more distant places that have become chaotic because the road is blocked to the Zhengnan camp. News, and various inside information related to the local power structure.
For example, in the Northern Rebellion Party, Yuanzong and Ainu, who first launched their troops from Shangju, and the Liangji thief army who had already occupied Beiyuanjing with the greatest momentum; also emerged from the Seda Temple (Xingjiao Temple) monk Shanzong, who claimed to be The bastard of King Gyeongmun of the 48th generation of Silla, and his party feathers occupied Cheorwon-gun (now Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, South Korea).
There was also a powerful chief Ji Xuan who claimed to be a general of the rebel army and led his troops to occupy Zhuzhou County; there were also local tyrants from Aci who falsely claimed to have been appointed prefect and seized Shafun County; Songak County Taoist Wang Long led himself as the proprietor, etc. There are about seven or eight larger forces entrenched in the forty-seven counties of the six states to the north and east except Liangzhou, Kangzhou, and Wuzhou.
And in the cracks of these larger forces, there are many groups as corresponding vassals, standing on the sidelines or forming small and medium-sized leaders, leaders, and even refugees, thieves, bandits and gangsters who are on the road. The pirates competed to fight and fight together.
Therefore, Cui Zhiyuan, who was waiting for Wang Jing's response in a posture of waiting for the price, began to write a copy of the group that is about to go south with the ship, and then forward it to Chang'an's Zhazi "On the Xinluo Group of Thieves"; The king's explanation and feedback on Silla's attention and care was also a disguised consultation and sincerity.
After all, his experience in entering the scene in Huainan Town has already deeply understood a truth. The enemy and opponent can be wiped out with the force of a sword, but it may not be able to solve the root of the problem, or it is the result of blindly relying on force and blind faith. In the end, it will only attract a double backlash and walk into an unsolvable knot.
And the "Huainan Army" he introduced has few rivals in the land of Silla, but compared with the bands of bandits in the five capitals and nine states of Silla, it has already developed and expanded faintly, and the locality can maintain and support a bottleneck and upper limit. Up
At present, I can barely maintain a few counties on the long strip of plains between the south of Yangju (Jinju City, South Gyeongsang Province) and the east of Kangju (now Yangsan City, South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea), with Gimhae Kyung as the center. The situation in more than twenty counties. The indirect influence and deterrence of the surrounding counties and counties to ensure that a certain amount of tribute and corvee can be collected.
Therefore, if we want to further change the situation of corruption and entanglement that have accumulated over time, everything depends on the follow-up governance, education methods, and the corresponding strategies of the situation evolution; and all of this undoubtedly needs to be relied on vigorously or has been separated. No, it comes from the support and support of the Taiping Army, which has become a climate in China.
Therefore, in this routine essay, the distribution and composition of anti-revolutionary forces in Silla are counted and summarized. According to the different sources of these local tycoons, they can be roughly divided into several categories, namely, those who were born in rural nobility, those who were born in military township, those who were born in maritime forces, and those who were born in village owners.
The origin of the nobles in the hometown originated from the establishment of the Five Small Capitals. They were originally used for relocation and resettlement, which were too many to multiply in the Wangjing and were difficult to appoint officials. The Home of Sacred Bone and True Bone, Shangtou Pin, and its affiliates The tribes, lords, slaves and maidservants are called "another official name, depending on the position of the capital", and the establishment of another ancestral temple on the spot is collectively called the "five temple system."
This is also the involution and protracted rebellion of King Hui Gong Jin Ganyun who was attacked and killed by the rebel Jin Zhizhen, leading to the ruling of the king of the royal family-Wu Yee Wang Tong, the king, such as Jin Liangxiang, Isa Kim Kyung-shin, and various minorities for the throne. The root of the sacred bones and the real bone houses that were involved in a large number of them have also fallen further into the house in reprimand, exile, and fleeing, and become the local sixth-pintou or even the fourth-pintou family.
Therefore, although these nobles who have left the countryside may retain the official position in the capital, they will no longer be able to enter the central government. Their status is lower than the Wangjing people who stayed in Jincheng, but they have a higher status than ordinary local citizens. These aristocrats who have left the countryside used their own food towns, Luyi or horse farms as their economic foundation, and took farms as the center to carry out mergers and slavery, and gradually grew into a dominating local power (ho family/haoqiang/haoshuai).
The military town power originated from the military towns set up by Silla in important places along the border and coastal areas. In the 5th year of King Wulie (658), Beizhen was first set up in Sanzhi to resist the invasion of Mo Mo, and in the 3rd year of King Xuande (782), Xijiang Town was set up in Pingshan. After that, in order to defend against pirates, King Heungdeok set up Cheonghae Town in Wando in the 3rd year (828), Tang Township in Nanyang in the 4th year of King Heungdeok (829), and Xiekou Town in Ganghwa Island in the 6th year of King Munsung (844).
Of course, the most famous and influential one is Zhang Baogao's Qinghai Town. It is also the largest maritime merchant and separatist force in Silla history, but because of his humble background, he failed to marry the royal family and supported the rebellion of Kim Woo Jung. The assassin sent by the Silla court was killed by the assassin Yan Jang, and all the stars disappeared, but The remnants of the old ministry of the year have been left to the present day by relying on sea trade exchanges.
Therefore, there are many Silla people living in Qingzi (Shandong Peninsula) and the eastern coastal areas of contemporary Middle-earth. There are Xinluofang in Chuzhou (Huai'an County, Jiangsu Province) and Lianshui Township in Sizhou. Many of these Silla people were originally engaged in maritime trade. In Yangzhou, the king of Silla people became rich because of his engagement in maritime trade with Japan. There are also many Silla crews, ship owners, interpreters, shipbuilders and ship repairers along the eastern coast.
Most of the remains of these forces have been gathered under the rule of the Taiping Army, and continue to maintain contact with the homeland, and even become a potential source of supplementary sources for Cui Zhiyuan's many righteous servants and assistants during this time. In Silla's own country, in addition to the Yeecheng River estuary, Naju, Yeongam, Yahae, Toseong, Kangju, Ulsan and other places have also accumulated a lot of wealth due to maritime trade, and they have grown into local wealthy people. .
And the powerful forces that have inherited the descendants of the old military town of Silla, there are Piao Clan of Pingshan, Huangpu Clan of Huangju, Hingsan Yu Clan, Kim Clan of Dongju, Kang Clan of Shincheon, and Liu Clan of Jeongju near Jinxi Town. and many more. In addition, there are also powerful people who combine multiple backgrounds in temples and military towns, such as Zen master Shunzhi's "world is a border general" and "family hero", Zen master Daoyun and eclectic ancestors are also from the military officer of Xujiang Town. Relying on the monastery to accept contributions from believers and grow into a wealthy family.
Then this gave rise to the unique monastic powers of Silla. Although they did not have much influence in politics, they depended on the sacrifices and donations of the royal family and nobles of the past, and the contributions and surrenders of the scholars and people. The place easily established a community of temples covering a large area, and tens of thousands of people were easily attached to the land, and there were also monks who protected the temple properties and the head of monks who urged rent and collected tenants and managed the attached membership.
As a result, a group of monks with five factions and nine (names) named (Nirvana School, Precept School, Faxing School, Huayan School, Faxiang School) in Silla was formed.
There are also local local forces such as villagers from Sanpintou to Yipintou. The bone product system blocked the possibility of these local households and heads of people from becoming officials and going to the Jin Dynasty from the social class, so they could only develop and maintain their own power in the locality, forming a local tyrant. They controlled the village administration and participated in assisting the county administration, and assisted the local government administration with many officials from within the city.
Therefore, in each of these counties, three or four of the most powerful villagers will participate in the government’s actions; namely, the upper (first) villager, the second villager, the third villager, etc.; these villagers are also called true villagers, and ordinary (secondary) villagers. The village owners are distinguished, and the status is equivalent to the five-headed product. With the decline of the royal family and the gradual loss of authority of the king's life, they were the first to get up to expel or coerce the king's officials and become their own party.
And these numerous forces are intertwined, and finally constituted the "rich family era" that runs through the troubled times of the "Post Three Kingdoms" on the Korean peninsula. However, what they are about to face this time is a dimensionality reduction strike from another time and space line, originating from the Taiping Army's "Fusang" plan to use Silla as a springboard to attack the Waguk Islands.
Although it is only a small corner of the grand prelude by Cui Zhiyuan, a native of Silla who is standing on the table. Before all the characters on this new stage are in place, the perspective is temporarily turned back to Henan Road in the hinterland of the Central Plains, under the Yanzhou Xiaqiu city, which has been known as the Yantiejunguo since the Western Han Dynasty.
