Chapter 406: What the People Want
Chapter 405: What the People Want
When Yang Gun chose to stay, his end was already doomed, but what made Yang Gun himself happy was that he did not die of suicide but died on the battlefield.
Zhang Jiao deeply admired Yang Gun's loyalty, so after breaking through the inner city, he issued an order to capture him alive. However, he did not expect that this move would make Yang Gun famous forever.
The first person to discover Yang Gun was Zhu Yuanzhang. Faced with the heavy siege of the enemy, Yang Gun launched a suicidal charge towards the Yellow Turbans with the mentality of killing each one to gain one, and rode alone towards Zhang Jiao's direction.
Because of the order of this horn, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally restrained, but Yang Gun became more and more happy as he killed.
In the end, Yang Gun, who was nearly sixty years old, dragged his exhausted body from the inner city to the outer city, and no one could stop him head-on.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he was speechless. It was hard to believe that Yang Gun was a sixty-year-old man.
If Yang Gun was allowed to continue killing like this, it might be possible to rush to Zhang Jiao's location, so Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take action himself.
Even when facing Yang Gun, an extremely tired veteran, Zhu Yuanzhang did not face it alone. Instead, he carefully chose to join forces with Generals Li Wenzhong and Zhu Wenzheng to prepare to capture Yang Gun alive.
But the final outcome was beyond everyone's expectation. Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang's three generals fail to capture Yang Gun alive, but Yang Gun seized the opportunity to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive.
That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was actually captured alive, and he was still a veteran. This became the biggest shame for Zhu Yuanzhang in this life.
After Yang Gun captured Zhu Yuanzhang alive, he took Zhu Yuanzhang as a hostage and fled all the way to where Zhang Jue was. He wanted to kill Zhang Jue alone, but there was almost no possibility of success.
Yang Gun can survive to this day entirely because Zhang Jue issued the order to capture him alive, and he was able to challenge the three generals of Zhu Yuanzhang in a single fight because of his life-threatening fighting style.
Therefore, it is a miracle that Yang Gun was able to come all the way to Zhang Jiao while making the decision on his own.
But if you want to kill Zhang Jiao, not to mention Xiang Yulong and other generals, even the two great guards Dian Wei and Xu Ding, the tired Yang Gun cannot be an opponent.
Yang Gun naturally knew that it was impossible to kill Zhang Jue, but he still resolutely rode towards Zhang Jue alone.
In the end, under the witness of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people, Yang Gun was directly shot to death by thousands of arrows on the way to the charge.
The order to fire arrows was naturally given by Zhang Jiao, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was spared a life by Yang Gun, felt extremely complicated when he saw Yang Gun with arrows all over his body.
After seeing Zhang Jiao, Zhu Yuanzhang had no use value. Yang Gun originally wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, but when he was about to take action, Zhu Yuanzhang's words before his death made Yang Gun change his mind.
In front of thousands of troops, Yang Gun stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's back. Just when he was about to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say unwillingly: "I swore to the great virtuous teacher that I will fight for the people of the world all my life, but I ended up dying like this." , I’m really unwilling.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's words seemed to have touched a chord in Yang Gun's heart, and finally made Yang Gun change his attention.
“You go.” Yang Gun let go of his feet and said indifferently.
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes anxiously and asked carefully: "Aren't you going to kill me?"
Yang Gun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Get out of here before I change my mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was relieved, dared to stay longer, but he was stopped by Yang Gun again before he could take two steps.
"etc."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around with difficulty and said with some despair: "Old General, you regretted it so soon?"
Yang Gun stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said coldly: "Boy, remember what you said. If one day you break your promise, I will return as a ghost and drag you into hell." Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed his saliva and said seriously. Said: "I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will never break my oath."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very frightened afterwards. If it hadn't been for those words, he would have been dead.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang never took the initiative to fight against generals in person.
Yang Gun died in an extremely tragic way in front of the Yellow Turban and the people of Luoyang, and his deeds soon spread throughout the world.
Thirty thousand soldiers were alone in the city, facing an army of 700,000 attacking the city, but they were able to defeat the 100,000 Yellow Turban army.
Such a record of defending the city is nothing short of a miracle.
Although Yang Gun's death did not cause any obstacles to the Yellow Turbans, it strengthened the confidence of die-hard Han loyalists.
Yang Gun's military achievements, coupled with his tragic death, ultimately made his deeds immortal and praised by future generations.
But what’s funny is that for Yang Gun, a loyal minister who died tragically for the Han Dynasty, the court did not give him a posthumous title.
As for the reason, it was naturally because of the obstruction of the Shi Changshi, which also disappointed everyone in the world.
On the third day after Yang Gun's death, another major event caused a sensation in the world, that is, Zhang Jiao officially announced the implementation of the "Heavenly Land Acre System".
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Land annexation is also a big issue in all states of the Han Dynasty, and the publication of Huang Jin's "Heavenly Land and Acre System" can be said to have directly pierced the sky.
How to implement the "Heavenly Land Acre System", to put it bluntly, is to unconditionally seize the land from aristocratic families and then distribute it to the local people according to their population.
The aristocratic family controls most of the cultivated land in the world, and if it were to be redeemed peacefully, the Yellow Turbans would not be able to afford that much money, so they could only expropriate it by force.
You are expropriating other people’s land without giving them compensation. This is no different from digging up their ancestral graves. How can a noble family agree?
In the past, whenever the Yellow Turban went to any place, they only targeted the scum of the aristocratic families. In this way, they almost offended all the aristocratic families in the world.
Furthermore, the current "Heavenly Land Acre System", regardless of whether it is a good or evil family, including those who support the Yellow Turbans, is directly targeted at all families in the world, and both parties no longer have any room for maneuver.
As expected, as soon as the new land policy came out, the aristocratic families under the Yellow Turbans basically collectively opposed it and united to fight against the Yellow Turban policy.
The Yellow Turbans are basically from poor backgrounds, and most of them have the attribute of hating the rich. Naturally, their attitude towards the aristocratic families has never softened. And you can guess without even thinking about it that there will definitely be another war that sweeps the entire Guandong and Sizhou. The **** storm.
The noble family cried again, and the people also cried, but one was crying in pain, and the other was crying with joy.
The people may not be able to get their own land after working hard all their lives, but now Zhang Jue has taken the initiative to give it to them. This kindness is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea, so there is a faint tendency among the people to praise Zhang Jue as a saint.
Ordinary people are grateful, and they know who is good to them.
Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for the people not only to obtain land, but also to have enough food to eat. Moreover, they were oppressed by corrupt officials and aristocratic families.
Under the rule of the Yellow Turbans, although life is still difficult, the people have hope. Now that "The Land and Acre System of the Kingdom of Heaven" has been published, the hearts of the people all over the world have basically turned to the Yellow Turbans.
The Han Dynasty today is basically fighting against the people of the world.
The first update is here and the second update will be after twelve o'clock.
