Chapter 78 The rebellion of Dong Buyi Cong [Chapter 1]
As Dong Zhuo said, Dong Hu had a round stomach at one time. Even if he gave people land, grain, cattle and sheep, and money, he made countless profits. According to the principle that one dead cattle and sheep can raise one person, Dong Hu could raise another 200,000 people in addition to the remaining population in the Hehuang Valley. This shows how much he earned and how many people he killed.
Everyone knows it well, but on the surface he can only let him possess it. Who made him not affiliated with the imperial army before?
All the territory of Jincheng County is basically only in Hehuang Valley, which is said to be the territory of the court, but in fact it is the territory of the Qiang people. It can be seen from the geographical location of Yunwu City, the capital of Jincheng County. Yunwu City is located on the east side of Laoya Gorge, and is blocked at the exit of the Hehuang Valley.
Yunwu City was blocked at the exit of the Hehuang Valley, and the place where Jincheng County produced the most grain was the Hehuang Valley. If Hehuang Valley was really the territory of the court, the capital would naturally be blocked at the Xiping City that Dong Hu was building, rather than blocking at the exit of the Hehuang Valley like a defensive fortress.
The Hehuang Valley is the territory of the Qiang people. Dong Hu's name of helping the court to quell the rebellion was "Dongmen". The Dongmen was the Qiangmen of the Shanlang Valley. To eliminate the turmoil in the court, the Hehuang Valley was actually the battle between the Dongmen and the Shaodang Qiangmen, which was the battle between the two major Qiangmen.
The two Qiang tribes compete for hegemony, land, cattle and sheep, and food... whoever wins will be the king of Hehuang Qiang, and whoever possesses everything.
It is incredible to say that the court could let Dong Hu share the land, but this is reality. As early as when Emperor Xuan of Han defeated Xianling Qiang, he had farmed in the Hehuang Valley. When Wang Mang arrived, he sent countless criminals into the valley, but they all failed. Even if the smaller rebellion was gone, a large-scale rebellion broke out every ten years. Even if each rebellion was suppressed, it would continue to be turbulent for several years. How to farm in such a place? How to support the people and govern it?
Over time, the court will not care about it. You will do whatever you want. As long as you pay thirty or fifty taxes to the court, the court will not care about who the land belongs to, and it will not be able to control it!
The court will not ask Dong Hu to distribute land to the people, and just pay some food. In principle, it should not care how much cattle, sheep and food he robbed, but this person is a bit cheap. If Dong Hu does not follow the court, he is just a plateau Qiang tribe and the Hehuang Qiang tribes compete for hegemony. Even if everyone is chopped down and robbed, the court will not even deal with it. But if he follows the court, someone will think that the court should get everything and the court will distribute it. Whether Dong Hu will be given a bone... it depends on his mood.
Not only did the court have this idea, but Dong Zhuo also had it. The key is that Dong Hu could not be regarded as Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but an independent existence. If he was in Lintao, even if Dong Hu had a Ganlang Valley, Dong Zhuo could forcefully suppress it. But now it is different. Dong Hu has become the de facto king of the Hehuang Valley and it is impossible for him to offend him too much for some small profits.
In a war of hundreds of thousands of people, even if others have any dissatisfaction, they dare not rob him of the "reasonable and legal" wealth.
Dong Zhuo came to stop Dong Hu from continuing to kill. Seeing that the Hehuang Valley was gradually calming, he stopped talking. Instead, the two became friends with hikers. They ran to Qinghai for fun and went to the West Sea Ten Thousand Tents to watch tens of thousands of young men and women riding sheep and herding horses.
When Emperor Wu of Han trained good horses, he not only did he raise countless good horses in Shandan Horse Farm, but also in Qinghai. However, Qinghai was a little higher, and the heart and lungs of war horses were stronger, endurance and weight-bearing. But when Dong Zhuo saw tens of thousands of big dolls, and even some girls of eleven or two galloped on horseback, Dong Hu was hit several times with his big head.
Dong Zhuo dislikes Dong Hu the most whenever he raises a group of useless dolls, especially girls who no one wants. Whenever he sees them, he will be annoyed and hit his big head.
The two hikers were wandering around for more than a month, and Dong Zhuo had seen the prestige of the humble boy in various tribes. No one dared to arch his body accidentally wherever he went. Whether it was true or false, he had to be careful. In Dong Zhuo's eyes, this is prestige.
The two were wandering around, but they didn't know that something big happened in Yuzhong City. Tens of thousands of Dong Buyicon detained the right-wing Sima Zhoushen, the army of quelling the rebellion, and engaged in Huangfu Li, which almost triggered a rebellion.
The reason for the conflict between the two sides is very simple, but it is because of food and supplies.
When the imperial court quelled the rebellion and was trapped by Didao, Dong Hu led a thousand cavalry to attack Yan Xing's baggage camp, and then defeated the more than 10,000 rebels trapped Didao, and relieved the siege for the imperial court, but the imperial court did not have so much money, food and supplies.
The northwest was thalassinated, and the people raised some cattle and sheep in their families. When Yan Xing came to the outside of Didao City, he brought some cattle and sheep and robbed cattle and sheep from villages around Didao. The more cattle and sheep there were in the large camps, and this became the food and supplies of Dongbu Yicong. After Dong Hu led 5,000 cattle and sheep to attack the Hehuang Valley, the court bought Dongbu Yicong 130,000 cattle and sheep with "one stone of grain for one sheep".
A hundred pounds of sheep can produce 60 pounds of pure meat. One person needs to eat at least two pounds of meat. A sheep can eat for one month. Dong Buyicon, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses in the court, and 130,000 sheep can support the army for three months. In three months, even if the food in Chang'an was climbed, it would climb to the place. Therefore, after Huangfu Song used "two thousand hectares" of fields as a guarantee, Dong Mao and Sanya agreed.
It was early June when Dong Hu led 5,000 cavalry to leave Yuzhong. In mid-July, Dong Hu fought with Shaodangqiang. The war was basically over in August. Cattle and sheep were not food. After the cattle and sheep were lambs, according to the original quantity of cattle and sheep, even if there was no food to be sent in Chang'an so far, it could still last for a month or two. But when the Qiang people in Hehuang ran to Yuzhong to cry, Huangfu Song gave some cattle and sheep in the army to those in the crying Qiang people for food.
The cattle and sheep that could have lasted for a month or two were gone, and the food from the court has not been sent yet. The beans and sorghum planted in May were cut off by the imperial military soldiers. Tens of thousands of Dongbuyi have become the stepmothers like the third and fourth brigades a few months ago...
No one can say that it is easy to work. The 30,000 army trapped thousands of imperial troops and horses. Not only did they snatch back the soybeans and sorghum he had finally grown, but they also forced Zhou Shen and Huangfu Li to return their cattle and sheep. They would not return the food, but they would not release them!
Thirty thousand Dongbuyi occupied Yuzhong and the Warrior City, trapping thousands of imperial soldiers and horses. If the imperial court did not return cattle and sheep, they would starve. Thirty thousand Dongbuyiyi just didn't want to give them food.
People can be hungry for a day or two, but how can they not eat or drink for three or five days?
I don’t know who was the army to quell the rebellion and who was the rebels. It was originally Dong Buyi Cong who followed the court to attack Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others, but now he has turned around. Huangfu Song led Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others to surround Yuzhong and the Warriors City, and 100,000 Qiang people outside the city surrounded 30,000 Dong Buyi Cong.
Dong Min almost shouted out his throat outside the city, and shouted several times in a row, but no one came out to talk to him...
"well……"
Dong Min was really helpless. He came to Huangfu Song, who had a gloomy face, and smiled bitterly.
"General, it's been two days. If you don't give them food or cattle and sheep... General Zhou and Huangfu are engaged in the process of dealing with thousands of soldiers?"
Han Sui clasped his fists to Huangfu Song and said, "If the detention of the imperial generals and others in rebellion and rebellion, if the general does not order an attack, it will only make them more unscrupulous."
Dong Mao looked at the city where there were only some soldiers and sighed: "When Huwa came from Lintao, there were only five thousand soldiers, one thousand men and cavalrymen, two thousand women, two thousand mercenaries. If the third and fourth brigade recruited two thousand beggars and people in Didao, it would be seven thousand."
"When Huwa detoured Jishi Mountain to rush to Hehuang Valley, he took away five thousand cavalry, including the first three thousand cavalry, which means... at most I am the only three thousand township mercenaries in Lintao, but there are 30,000 soldiers in the city."
Dong Mao looked at the crowd with either frowning or gloomy faces, and once again looked at the top of the city. Although it was a little farther away and could not see clearly, he knew who was on the top of the city.
"Thirty thousand soldiers, one thousand Didao people, and twenty six thousand Qiang people. Even if the words are really branded on their heads, the imperial army is coming now..."
"Han Sui, Han Wen's appointment, Han Taishou..."
"You are a famous scholar in Western Liang and have a high prestige among the Qiang people. Why don't you come forward to show your righteousness? Perhaps you can convince 26,000 Qiang people in the city, so why should you attack?"
Han Sui had a gloomy face. If he could persuade the people in the city to surrender in a few words, how could he need 100,000 people to siege the city?
Everyone didn't speak, and Dong Mao sighed softly.
"Everything can't escape the word "reason". Dong Buyi ate most of the 130,000 cattle and sheep, but that was what they should eat. Not to mention that those cattle and sheep were their gains. After becoming part of the imperial army, the court would not give a penny of money and silver. Could it be that they would not even give a bite of food?"
"The five thousand bows and arrows that I didn't agree have been given yet. They always planted the food they planted here?"
"They are farming under Jincheng's nose. Isn't Han Taishou not even able to see this?"
Dong Mao sighed.
"Whether Han people or Qiang people are not aware of it, how can we convince the public?"
"They belong to cattle and sheep. 130,000 cattle and sheep are enough to support 30,000 Dongbuyi for the first half of the year. Although there is not much grain in the field, it can support for two months. The cattle and sheep plus the grain in the field are enough to support 30,000 Dongbuyi for eight months, but how long is it now?"
"Three months! Only three months have passed, you will let them go hungry..."
"It's not that you can't be hungry when you're hungry. When you're all paupers, you'll just starve together, but you just let them go hungry!"
Dong Mao turned his head to look at Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Li Wenhou, Mengdu, and looked at the Qiang leader who was rebelling in various counties, and looked at him disdainful.
"Do you know, if Huwa is here, Huwa would be reluctant to attack Dong Buyicong."
"How can I kill some old and weak thieves in the Hehuang Valley be more pleasant than killing you?"
The Qiang people's expressions changed wildly, but Dong Mao looked at the Zhongchang Shi Guo Sheng and smiled at the eunuch with a weird look.
"The people in the northwest are fierce, and the country men fight with each other when they disagree. It is normal for villages and villages to fight each other to kill people for a small matter. If the Qiang people in Hehuanggu and Qiang people in Longxi County, or the Qiang people in Wuwei County, Hanyang County, Anding County, and Beidi County, that's normal."
"Sometimes it's like this. My mother says she is right, and my mother says she is right. No matter what the court does, she can't control the fight between brothers, right?"
"What do you think Guo Gong?"
Guo Sheng looked at the dozens of Qiang people's leaders whose face changed drastically, then looked at Han Sui, who had a gloomy face, and sighed bitterly.
"It's true, if two brothers really fight, it's really hard for others to interfere."
Han Sui snorted coldly: "It's hard for others to interfere in the fight between the two brothers, but if the 100,000 Dong team entered the neighboring prefectures and counties with blades, how could it be a fight between brothers?"
Dong Mao nodded and patted the neck of the mule and horse under his crotch, as if he was making way for others.
