Chapter 104 (1/2)
Today is the last day of 183 A.D. and the last day of Guanghe sixth year of Hanling emperor. Tomorrow will be the first year of Zhonghe of Hanling emperor.
However, some of this year's phenomena also imply that next year should be a eventful year.
It's harvest time now, but the sun in the sky is shining brightly. The rain that people expect has not come, and the field has been cracked.
The crisscross texture in the field is more like the hand of an old farmer. Although it is hard and hard work, it can not get the harvest it deserves.
The drought has already swept through the whole Han Dynasty. Is this a hint?
But those farmers did not think so much, because of the grain shortage, they could not even afford to eat, let alone the complicated taxes.
Countless people have left their hometown and left the village where they have lived since their ancestors. All they want is to live and stay in a place where they can afford to eat.
The most important thing that Chinese people attach great importance to is that they are no longer so important.
At the same time, the disease also swept the whole world, and countless plagues also made the people miserable. At this time, one after another ”kind-hearted people” in yellow robes came forward.
They give them these farmers medical treatment, but also take out a lot of food that they don't know where to get, and help them to maintain their lives.
These are enough to make these farmers grateful, and obedience is a common phenomenon. Those good-natured people in yellow robes have been telling the injustice of the Han Dynasty and those corrupt officials.
”The heaven is dead, and Huang Tian should be established. He is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky.”
This sentence gradually spread among these victims. Many people did not understand the meaning of this sentence, and some people explained it for him.
In ancient times, they attached great importance to some feudal superstitious ideas. The sky refers to the imperial court of the Han Dynasty, and the dark blue color itself is the official of the imperial court of the ancient Han Dynasty, while Huang Tianzhi refers to the Taiping Taoists with yellow robes around them.
When will people be most superstitious? It is not really the oldest time, but the poorest time and the least expected time. Now is the time to meet this condition.
As soon as the slogan was spread, it was also a crowd of responders among the refugees. The Taiping Taoism, which could only be regarded as a medium-sized organization, suddenly expanded.
Countless farmers have joined the Yellow turban army. Because of the planning of more than ten years ago, the food in the Yellow turban army is also countless. Countless people who are short of food have joined the Taiping Taoism.
Of course, Taiping Taoism mainly recruits young male believers, and only these can give them the greatest help and have greater power in the uprising.
But they are still dormant. They know that the time is not mature, the drought is not at its worst, and there are not enough people joining the yellow scarf army.
Now there are millions of people who have become followers of Taiping Taoism. This is a huge force. What's more, these Taoists are almost distributed in every state and county of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
If it was not for the lack of food, these peasants might not have rebelled, but now they can't control so much. The court doesn't want them to live, and they don't want the court to live.
In fact, the court of the Han Dynasty had already guessed about this matter. Sangong had already asked the emperor to allocate relief funds. The emperor was not careless at all. Although the spiritual emperor was fatuous, he was more afraid of death.
However, half of the relief money has been exploited when it reaches the ten constant servants. The more it is passed on to the lower level, it will be exploited a little bit. Finally, when it reaches the county and state officials, it is not enough to plug the teeth.
At present, the Taiping Taoism still does not have any sound, so the imperial court does not have any action. Most officials expect that the Taiping Taoism has no other plot, or it will make the crumbling Empire worse.
