Chapter 525 Jizhou eunuch purge
After listening to Xin Ping's suggestion, Yuan Shao had the feeling of enlightenment, and immediately praised Xin Ping as a talent in the world, a talent worthy of entrusting great things.

Now, Yuan Shao loves the Jizhou Governor's Mansion to death.

There are so many talents, and they speak nicely, and each of them is a king of ideas. With a few suggestions, he actually sorted out a complete set of public opinion offensives and propaganda methods, which directly hit Liu Bei's life.

Hmph, Liu Bei, you are against the eunuch when you are successful, and you are against the eunuch when you are defeated. You who started your business by opposing the eunuch, unless you carry out the anti-eunuch to the end, I will see how you respond to my offensive!

Yuan Benchu ​​is full of confidence!
After this discussion, in Han Fu's original group, the locals represented by Tian Feng and Shenpei, and the outsiders represented by Xin Ping, were willing to respect Yuan Shao as the Lord of Jizhou and succeed Han Fu. , speaking for the interests of Jizhou——

At least on the surface.

Yuan Shao has no other choice, nor does he want any other choice. The current situation is the best ending he can think of.

So in the next few days, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Xin Ping and others ran around for Yuan Shao's "grand plan and great cause". Yuan Shao also used his ability as a little prince to run around to win over families related to the Yuan family.

Then Yuan Shao also asked them to hold a meeting, combining the two goals of anti-eunuchs and revenge for the Yuan family, and deliberately put the anti-eunuchs on top of Yuan's revenge plan, and sorted out a set of anti-eunuchs as the main program. Based on this, the new Yuan Shao Group's program of action will be publicized throughout Jizhou.

All in all, the previous rhetoric was abandoned by Yuan Shao.

He opened up another track, Yuan transformed into a vanguard against eunuchs, and Liu Bei became a "traitor among scholars" who joined forces with eunuchs to suppress scholars.

On this brand-new track, Yuan Shao uttered nonsense, describing Liu Bei as an insect who conspired with eunuchs to suppress scholars or even destroy scholars, and the reason why Yuan was eliminated by Liu Bei was because Yuan steadfastly defended scholars Interests.

If you continue to support Liu Bei, the interests of scholars will be completely taken away by eunuchs.

Only by supporting Yuan Shao can the interests of scholars be preserved.

Yuan Shao swore that as long as possible, he would go to Luoyang and kill all the eunuchs. Every eunuch, no matter whether he was in power or not, would be killed completely, and there would be no more eunuchs in the future.

This is his "solemn commitment" to Jizhou people.

In this set of words, Liu Bei became the spokesperson of the eunuch, while Yuan Shao was the spokesperson of the scholars. Yuan Shao bound his own interests with the scholars, intending to convince all the scholars that if Yuan Shao failed, the scholars would be defeated. Will become a second-class citizen of the Han Empire.

However, this kind of propaganda was not so easy to use at the beginning.

Speech is speech, and political correctness belongs to political correctness, but interests and lives are one's own. When it comes to these two issues, political correctness must stand aside.

So after Yuan Shao let go of the control of Yecheng, in just five days, more than 20 officials and officials left with the old and the young, and I don't know where they went.

Yuan Shao didn't care at first, but as more and more people ran away, Yuan Shao panicked.

Doesn't this rhetoric work?
"Many people don't want to follow me, so what can I do?"

Yuan Shao asked Fengji, Xin Ping, Tian Feng and Shenpei for their advice, and they gave their opinions one after another. Adding officials to ranks, rewarding kindness and so on are common methods. Yuan Shao responded to this feel dissatisfied.

Afterwards, in private, Feng Ji and Xin Ping made some suggestions to Yuan Shao as outsiders.

Judging from the current situation, it is useless to talk about it, and the people of Jizhou no longer accept this trick. If you want them to take the bait, you must offer real money, so that they cannot refuse.

Feng Ji suggested that Yuan Shao promulgate policies to carry out anti-eunuchs to the end, and carry out a comprehensive blast on the interests of eunuchs within the scope of Jizhou, and carry out a major purge of eunuchs in Jizhou.

At the very beginning, Yuan Shao hesitated whether to use this strategy or not.

"Although I hate Liu Bei, is it too serious to liquidate the Jizhou eunuch industry? Once it is initiated, will it make the people of Jizhou panic? This is a big matter, should we treat it with caution?"

Feng Ji shook his head again and again.

"The panic is the first, but people are greedy and want to get more benefits. The eunuchs have seized too many things that belong to Jizhou people. Jizhou people are very eunuchs. If there is a chance for Jizhou people to vent, then They will definitely support you."

Xin Ping agreed with Feng Ji's opinion, and further gave his own opinion.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, some Jizhou people are willing to obey your orders on the surface, but in fact they don't want to fight against the Luoyang court. As long as the court army arrives, they will definitely not resist. Therefore, it is necessary to liquidate the power of the eunuchs. .

As long as someone takes the lead, someone will follow, and if someone follows, more people will follow. As long as they kill the eunuch's family members and rob the eunuch's property, then it is tantamount to living with the Luoyang court forever. When the time comes, they can only follow you.

If this is not done, there is still room for reconciliation between the people of Jizhou and the court. They can claim that they are only anti-eunuchs, not against the court, let alone a rebellion, and they have not taken any action. It's completely different, and those villains who think about not offending both sides will also be at a loss. "

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed with this matter very much, so he decided to do this.

But Feng Ji still felt that this was not enough. He suggested that what Yuan Shao did should be spread widely, so that more people would know, let people in all states and counties know, and strive to lead a wave of killing eunuchs and dividing property all over the world. frenzy.

Anyone who does this will become Liu Bei's enemy and Yuan Shao's friend. The more such people, the greater the possibility of Yuan Shao winning!

So, what are you waiting for?
Hurry up and do it!
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and couldn't wait, so he immediately discussed and promulgated this policy.

Within a few days, he announced to the outside world that he would launch a major purge of the eunuchs in Jizhou.

All eunuchs' properties were confiscated.

All the eunuch's family members are all heinous bastards, and they will all be arrested and beheaded.

Anyone who declares that they are anti-eunuchs can rise up to clean up the eunuchs' property in Jizhou. Anti-eunuchs are a major event in the world. People with lofty ideals should rise up against eunuchs, uproot them and wipe them out completely!
Although Yuan Shao said in the official announcement that the eunuch's property would be "confiscated", but in terms of actual implementation, Yuan Shao did not intend to be so rigid.

Everyone pays a little symbolically, and the rest is all his own, and he, Yuan Shao himself, will send a large number of his own troops to plunder the eunuch's property.

He will take the lead in the charge and set an example to inspire all those who oppose the eunuch to rise up together.

Completely eradicate eunuchs!

Let the eunuchs disappear on the land of the Han Empire!

Just do it, on May [-]th, Yuan Shao officially sent troops to start action, centering on Yecheng, launched a comprehensive blast on the eunuch's property in the entire Wei County.

The eunuchs' houses, shops, gold, silver and jewelry, land, servants and other properties were all sealed up, robbed and taken by Yuan Shao's troops for their own.

Not only did Yuan Shao take action, but also the dozen or so families of former officials of Yuan Shu's disciples who had reached an agreement with him also mobilized the power of the family to carry out violent actions against the eunuch industry.

Everything that belonged to the eunuchs will become theirs.

As long as they dare to do it, everything is theirs.

I have to say that this move was very well done, not to mention those families who have connections with Liu Bei or have reservations about Yuan Shao, those families whose interests have been violated by eunuchs and those who decided to follow Yuan Shao are quite moved by this policy .

Seeing that Yuan Shao and his followers were enjoying the hot food and making a lot of money, some shallow-skinned guys became jealous.

Once the eyes are red, the IQ will lose the high ground, and the IQ will lose the high ground, and they can only see the luxury in front of them, but not the future.

Therefore, during the late May and early June of the sixth year of Zhongping, Yuan Shao and his followers set off a vigorous eunuch hunting operation in Jizhou, which was the same as the witch hunting operation in the European Middle Ages, highlighting a diode, highlighting One is black and white.

As long as they are members of the eunuch family, or those who are related to the eunuch family, no one will be let go. Men, women, old and young are all bastards, and they are all the culprits of the decline of the Han Dynasty. All of them will be arrested, killed, burned, and robbed. .

Officials and officials who had a good relationship with the eunuchs or were simply members of the eunuch group were also besieged, some were killed, some were killed after rising up to resist, some fled, and some fled into the mountains. .

In just one month, 550 eunuch properties in Jizhou were plundered, and more than 600 eunuchs living in Jizhou were killed, including one county prefect, 28 county magistrates, and more than 200 small Officials and officials were also killed and expelled.

Of course, this kind of thing is impossible without expansion.

Originally, Yuan Shao stipulated that only eunuchs and their relatives and families should be purged, and other people should not be involved, but after the order is passed on, who cares about these?
Yuan Shao had never actually governed a county, let alone a state. He didn't know the so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Once the power was delegated, many things could not be decided by Yuan Shao himself.

Power has no mind of its own, and those who hold power have minds of their own.

All the local scholar families and powerful families who expressed their attitude to Yuan Shao all took advantage of the fire and robbed them. At first they only took action against the eunuch's property, but soon, they couldn't help it after they tasted the sweetness.

Who doesn't have one or two enemies who don't like it these days?
Wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of this great opportunity to avenge one's personal revenge and take the other party's property and make it your own?
So in June, the eunuch purge in Jizhou escalated.
