Hi! Hello everyone! I'm a bug in the world, follow me and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
The turmoil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was caused by eunuchs on the one hand, and Dong Zhuo on the other hand, which is the storyline presented to us by the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
And the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to conquer the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty was that there was one person who was very important, and he was the general He Jin. Because, the person who recruited Dong Zhuo was He Jin.
In fact, according to the situation mentioned in the book, just like Cao Cao said, if you want to deal with the harem eunuchs who threaten He Jin, only one jailer is enough. However, He Jin did not listen to persuasion, so he had to recruit foreign soldiers into Beijing, and wanted to use the power of foreign soldiers to eradicate the eunuch forces entrenched in the harem.
At that time, He Jin did not just issue an edict to Dong Zhuo alone, but issued the same edict to all the princes and others who held military power in the whole world.
Here's what the book says:
It is a mission to enter the darkness, and the secret edict goes to the towns on the starry night.
Although it is said that He Jin's move is not equivalent to the so-called letting all the princes enter the king of Jingqin, but at this time, He Jin's identity is that he is a general of the imperial court, and he can mobilize soldiers from all over the country at will. Moreover, He Jin issued an edict in the form of a secret edict, which shows the urgency of the matter even more.
According to common sense, since He Jin is a general, and the edict is issued, then all the princes and assassins in the world should respond positively, and they should all lead troops to the capital to help He Jin eradicate the eunuchs.
However, in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is no description of a wide range of princes, assassins, etc., who led troops into Beijing, but only Dong Zhuo alone, in accordance with the requirements of the edict, responded to He Jin's strategy and led the troops.
Why is this happening? At that time, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty still existed, and there were so many assassins and princes, why didn't they come, and only Dong Zhuo responded?
The reason why Dong Zhuo responded positively was because Dong Zhuo wanted to reap benefits for himself through this incident, and everyone saw the story that followed, after Dong Zhuo came to the capital, he was unscrupulous and made the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was already full of holes, even more smoky miasma.
At this time, there were many so-called assassins, princes, generals, courtiers, etc., who stood up to express their dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo, and even openly or secretly became enemies of Dong Zhuo.
If you know today, why bother in the first place?
So, what were everyone else thinking?
Personally, I think that other people besides Dong Zhuo may be thinking about the following things:
First, although He Jin is a general, he is indecisive and not enough to work with.
Just like Yuan Shao said, He Jin really wanted to eradicate the eunuchs, and when the new emperor was ordained, he completed it by the way. But He Jin was indecisive and reluctant to act. If so, why should anyone else get involved?
Second, to kill the eunuchs, they must rush into the palace, and in the absence of the emperor's will, it is tantamount to an open rebellion.
Everyone knows that He Jin, as a general, must have a lot of elite soldiers under his command. If He Jin wants to eradicate the eunuchs, he can handle this matter with whoever he sends.
In addition, everyone also knows that He Jin also had Yuan Shao and others by his side at that time, and they also had soldiers under them. However, if you don't use your own soldiers, you don't need to let the soldiers of Yuan Shao and others, but use foreign soldiers to do this, are you treating the princes and assassins in other places as fools?
In case after the elimination of the eunuchs, He Jin will be charged with rebellion, won't the gains outweigh the losses?
So, based on this consideration, everyone else chose to stand still. Only Dong Zhuo is full of heart-to-heart!
