Xuande

Chapter 526

It doesn't matter whether it is a family of eunuchs or a family of relatives, as long as there are enemies or those who are disliked, many families will take the opportunity to retaliate.

Those who retaliated against them were either from the government or families that competed with them. Everyone held weapons and torches, took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, and committed all kinds of evil.

The reason is also very simple, as long as the other party has cooperated with the eunuch and has an ambiguous relationship with the eunuch, and then rushed to do it, it's over.

Under the circumstances at that time, would the government send someone to investigate whether the accusation was true or false?
I can only whimper and mourn.

Originally, it was only an action aimed at eunuch families and their properties. By June, the policy of purging eunuchs in the ten prefectures of Jizhou had completely deviated from Yuan Shao's original idea.

Certain areas in Bohai County, Zhongshan Country, and Hejian Country have even entered a battle royale state.

Some people want to take the opportunity to avenge their personal revenge, saying that the other party has something to do with eunuchs, so they have to be purged.

Those who were cleaned were not to be outdone, and would not sit still, so they fought back.

Some families with relatively prominent contradictions broke out fierce fighting with weapons. Both sides brought their own servants and tenants to fight. The scale was not small at all, and blood flowed everywhere.

In this process, after some big families annexed the eunuch's property, they also took the opportunity to annex some hostile families or some small families that did not deal with them, and the family property became broader and more powerful.

However, some small and medium-sized families lost part of their property, or lost all of their property, the family was destroyed, and the clan members were killed.

Officials in some places are more conscientious and more mobile. Seeing the situation like this, they quickly and forcefully intervened to try to prevent the situation from changing in an uncontrollable direction, and ordered that no vendetta be killed at will.

However, some officials have no conscience, and even made a fortune in it, wishing that this turbulence would disturb the whole Jizhou, so that they could gain more benefits.

It is worth mentioning that both the Tian family of Tian Feng and the Shen family of the appraiser are the beneficiaries and winners of this process.

Although both Tian Feng and Shen Pei disagreed with this matter and thought it was ill-advised, their family had already made a move before they contacted the family.

For this reason, Tian Feng was quite worried.

When he communicated with the judge in private, his attitude was quite pessimistic.

"I think that someone around General Yuan should have seen my intentions, so I did such a thing. I blame me for not warning the people in advance, alas!"

The trial match is also quite worried about this.

"With this, there is absolutely no room for relaxation between the Luoyang court and Jizhou. Yuan Hao, where should we go?"

"What else can we do? It's because we underestimated General Yuan and the people around him too much. We were misunderstood by our cleverness, alas..."

Tian Feng spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I only know that General Liu is a hero in the world, but I never thought that a young man like General Yuan also has quick wit that we can't imagine. The result of underestimating the people in the world is being put on fire bake."

The judge frowned.

"Then next?"

"I don't really care about it myself, but my family and clan... can't help myself!"

Tian Feng shook his head: "At this point, we have no way out. Let's do what we should do. If God blesses us, we will naturally be able to live. If this is our destiny, we don't need to struggle. Leave everything to the destiny."

The examiner looked at Tian Feng for a while, then sighed, and stopped talking.

The purge of eunuchs is still going on, and the plundering of eunuchs' properties is still going on, and the whole Jizhou seems a little fanatical.

Yuan Shao didn't know much about these things. He was in Yecheng and didn't go anywhere. He naturally thought that all places were like Yecheng, and the power of eunuchs was being purged in an orderly manner.

Only kill eunuchs and not other people. It is enough for everyone to seize the eunuch's property, so as to gain the absolute support of a group of local powerful families in Jizhou, and use their support as confidence to pull up the army to fight against Liu Bei.

But how could the situation be so simple?

At the end of June in the sixth year of Zhongping, when Yuan Shao received a report from some local officials that the situation was out of control, he was still very shocked. He felt that this could not be true. How could Jizhou enter the state of battle royale?

How can everyone be so brazen and ignorant of right and wrong, killing people everywhere?

As a result, when Tian Feng brought the investigation report from the neighboring Qinghe Kingdom to ask Yuan Shao to stop the operation immediately, Yuan Shao just woke up like a dream.

"Many people use this as an excuse to kill those who have conflicts and families, or to collude with the government, slander the other party as the eunuch's accomplice, conspire with the government to destroy their family, and get a [-]-[-] share of the property with the government, or four. Sixty percent, and even thirty to seventy percent.

The government usually gets the big head, and those who do it will not suffer. They take less property, but the land, houses, and servants belong to them. Their appetite is huge. Those things from the eunuch are not enough to satisfy them, so they kill the eunuch. They started killing each other.

Some are initiated by the local families, some are provoked by the government, and even the government took the initiative to take action. The situation is extremely bad. Many places have become chaotic to a certain extent. There have been two or more families leading troops to fight against each other. If we continue, there will be civil strife in Jizhou without Liu Bei sending troops! "

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng's report and frowned, feeling that there was a big problem.

"Why didn't they obey my order? Why did they kill innocent people? My order is to punish the eunuch's family! Don't let them kill each other!"

"They all obeyed the order. The people who were killed and the families that were destroyed were all eunuchs' accomplices."

Tian Feng looked ugly and said: "As for whether it is really the eunuch's accomplice, there is no proof. The government and the beneficiary's family can't find out any problems, and they can't pursue it. Because of this, they have nothing to fear. General, stop it. If this continues, Jizhou will really be in chaos!"

Yuan Shao was speechless.

In the end, facing this unexpected situation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to find Feng Ji and Xin Ping to discuss it, feeling that he could not bear the consequences.

Feng Ji and Xin Ping were still very dissatisfied when they learned that Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao to stop.

"The more families that kill, the more families that see blood, and the more families that follow the general desperately, Jizhou will sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate itself from the world, and can only follow you! Your current situation is already dangerous , if you can't get the effectiveness of the entire Jizhou, where is there any chance?"

Feng Ji said earnestly: "Let them mess up, let them kill, so that Jizhou can change from the Jizhou of the imperial court to your Jizhou! If you want to resist Liu Bei and avenge the Yuan family, this is the only way to go! Qian Don't be fooled by Tian Feng and his ilk!"

Yuan Shao was amazed at this, after thinking about it, he felt that what Feng Ji said was very reasonable, so he ignored Tian Feng's advice for the time being, instead, he stepped up his efforts and sent people to the next door Qinghe Kingdom to participate in the cleansing and massacre of the eunuch industry. Looting, fueling the flames.

So the situation is moving in an unpredictable direction.

By the first ten days of July, the number of victims related to the eunuch family had exceeded 3000, but it is conservatively estimated that there were 1 victims who were not related to the eunuch family.

The whole of Jizhou is indeed in a considerable degree of chaos. The major families form cliques with each other and attack and kill each other. A few rational people who have never participated in it can only defend themselves and cannot intervene in the situation.

In the end, the rational Jizhou locals represented by Tian Feng and Shenpei couldn't bear it anymore, and collectively advised Yuan Shao, strongly suggesting that Yuan Shao stop this policy.

They believe that the operation has been carried out for almost two months and has brought great damage to Jizhou. This policy must be stopped immediately, otherwise Jizhou will explode on the spot before Liu Bei comes!

If Yuan Shao doesn't give the order to stop, they will act independently and do what is necessary to prevent Jizhou from being completely destroyed.

It was at this time that Xin Ping, Feng Ji, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others had their first quarrel.

The two sides held their own opinions, and one side believed that the expansion of the operation caused panic among the people in Jizhou, which was not conducive to Yuan Shao's gaining a firm foothold in the local area.

One side thinks that the action is not enough to expand, and should continue to expand and continue to completely liquidate the eunuchs who are domineering in Jizhou, and kill all those who work for tigers, so that Yuan Shao's majesty can be established.

In fact, at this time, Yuan Shao's attitude had already begun to waver.

Because apart from some pink-eyed families who participated, this battle royale led to some local powerful forces that had never paid attention to him from the beginning to the end to unite and help each other, forming a state of self-defense and autonomy in the local area, even the government. They cannot be ordered.

There are such families in every county. They leave their houses in the city and return to the land. They organize their tenants into armed forces and keep their doors behind closed doors.

Since this period of time, the eunuch's industry has basically been uprooted in Jizhou, and some relatively weak families have been torn apart. The rest are medium and large family forces that have the ability to deter each other. They want to destroy them. It's going to hurt your muscles.

So at this stage, everyone was actually a little bit unable to kill, and they gradually came back to the feeling, thinking that the killing before was a bit too much.

I have made enough money, the pink eye disease has subsided, and the smart IQ has taken the high ground again, and I start to reflect on whether there is something wrong with my previous actions.

The patience of the Jizhou people has reached its limit.

As the saying goes, too much is too late, Yuan Shao has already realized the meaning of this sentence at this time.

Therefore, in the face of unanimous opposition from local officials in Jizhou, although Feng Ji, Xin Ping and other local officials strongly protested and wanted to continue, they failed to reverse Yuan Shao's determination to issue an order to abolish the policy.

The two-month cleansing of eunuchs in Jizhou can be over, but the impact of this incident is far from over.
