Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's Going to Be Chaos
In fact, before Yiyu heard the maid's discussion, Dai Yong's wife had already died. www.biquge.info When Yishan got the news, three months had passed since the funeral.
Dai Yong's wife did not die of illness. She was assassinated on her way back to her hometown to visit her family, and the Assassins had been hired by the rebels in Kamijinjo. Shi Shi Yong was supposed to be in the car, but before leaving, Dai Yong received a letter from Wei Xu, and Wei Xu asked him to go to Limi City to host a meeting for him, so he did not go back to his hometown with his wife to visit relatives, but took another carriage to Limi City.
Why did the rebel forces in Shangjin City assassinate Dai Yong, the mayor of Shangjin City?
The answer is simple, Dai Yong has been suppressing the rebel forces in Kamijin City. In order to intensify the contradictions within the rebel forces, Wei Xu deliberately only promoted the people of the rebel forces in Rimi City, and those who were willing to submit to the rebel forces in Rimi City, and also deliberately suppressed the people of the rebel forces in the upper city. And the person responsible for suppressing the rebel forces in Shangjin City is none other than Dai Yong. The fact that Dai Yong joined the rebel forces in Rimi City was known only to the high-level leaders of the rebel forces in Rimi City, but not to the rebel forces in Shangjin City. If the rebel forces in Kamijin Castle knew that it was the rebel forces in Rimi Castle that were suppressing them, they would definitely take action directly against the leader of the rebel forces in Rimi Castle.
The Assassins fled, and no one knew who killed Daion's wife. But this is a louse on the bald head, a plain thing. The rebel forces in Shangjin City have been suppressed so badly that they are even so miserable that they don't need to blame for it. Therefore, apart from the rebel forces in Shangjin City, it is impossible for anyone to do anything against Dai Yong and his family.
Wei Xu didn't expect that his decision would bring so much danger to Dai Yong, and he wanted to write a letter to apologize to Dai Yong and encourage him to cheer up. But before he could write a letter to Dai Yong, Dai Yong wrote him a letter, and there was only one sentence on the letter: The loyalty of the monarch has not ended, and this time he will get his wish.
On the surface, this sentence means that Dai Yong failed to follow Wei Xu to the end the last time he pledged his allegiance to Wei Xu, but this time he must follow him to the end. But what it actually means is that I have not been able to follow you to the end when I have pledged my allegiance to you, but I will certainly follow His Majesty to the end.
Wei Xu forwarded the letter to Maier, who was very moved. He didn't know how to compensate Dai Yong, because Dai Yong was playing the role of a corpse vegetarian meal, and there was nothing to be rewarded. If he manages to compensate Daiyong now, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the rebel forces. So until the rebellion was put down, he could not give Dai Yong any compensation.
After the death of Daiyong's wife, he wrote a letter to the rebel forces in Rimi Castle, begging them to avenge him, and then the rebel forces in Rimi Castle joined forces with other rebel forces to carry out a frenzied revenge against the rebel forces in Kamijin Castle. Dai Yong's importance among the rebel forces in Limi City is second only to Wei Xu and Dan Yunhe, and the rebel forces in Shangjin City sent people to assassinate him, and the rebel forces in Limi City naturally want to help him avenge him.
It is worth mentioning that in this undercover operation, Dai Yong also pulled Zhou Gu up. Hyakmura Fort (i.e., Twenty-Nine Villages) was the weakest town-level administrative unit of the Ira rebellion, and most of the land here was owned by the royal family, and after the production of hybrid grains, all the local small landowners and yeoman farmers went bankrupt. The small landlords in the area were all rapidly converted from yeoman farmers, and their thinking was not much different from that of yeoman farmers, and they all chose to sell their land to the royal family at a high price, and then moved around the castle with the money to do something else.
Since then, the Hundred Village Fort has been divided into two areas. One is the castle and the surrounding town, and the other is the surrounding farms. When people mention Baicun Fort, they are referring to the land in the urban area. The surrounding farms are numbered, such as "155 Farm", "158 Farm", "159 Farm", etc., which are all administrative units independent of Baicun Fort and are directly governed by the royal family.
Farms under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family are military control areas, and unrelated people can be killed directly if they come close, which is a necessary measure to prevent the theft of hybrid grains. The workers of the farm are all selected by theological research societies, new shrines, or civic associations, and they are absolutely loyal to the faith, as well as to the royal family, and they are all dutiful people.
The affiliated villages around Hope City have also been converted into farms, and Daisy's adoptive parents and their families are all farm workers. They knew about Daisy joining the Watchboard, because they were also "insiders", and there was no need for Daisy to keep her identity secret from them.
No one knew that Dai Yong and Zhou Gu were acquaintances, because the two had never mentioned it in public. After Dai Yong's wife was assassinated, Zhou Gu wanted to take revenge on behalf of Yong, but there was no good way, so he had to ask his wife Ruying for help. Ruying treated her husband like this, and Zhou Gu did so.
One day in a certain month, the rebel forces of Baicunbao sent people to Shangjin City, saying that the 155 Farm was lax and wanted to grab grain. However, the strength of Baicun Fort was too weak, and before they captured the next 55 farm, the reinforcements of the official army had already arrived, so they came to the rebel strength of Jincheng to seek support.
The rebel forces in Kamijin City did not have any grudges against the rebel forces of Baicun Fort, and they thought that the rebel forces of Baicun Fort were showing favor to their side, so they believed their words. In order to monopolize the benefits, the rebel strength of Kamijin City did not tell the others about this, and according to the agreed time, they brought their men and horses to the agreed place, and then they were all killed by the mercenaries who were ambushed here.
These mercenaries are all members of the rebel forces in Rimi. Before a certain day in a certain month, Zhou Gu wrote a letter to Dai Yong, saying that he could let Baicun Fort cooperate with Dai Yong for revenge. Zhou Gu didn't have this kind of scheming, but he had a smart wife, and Dai Yong knew about it, so he wasn't surprised. He thanked Zhou Gu in his heart, contacted the rebel forces in Limi City, and formulated this plan to lure the enemy into an ambush with the help of Dan Yunhe.
The rebel forces in Rimi Castle have long wanted to take out the rebel forces in Kamijo, so they can't let go of this opportunity. In this ambush, the mercenaries of the rebel forces in Rimi City killed 700 people, all of whom were armed by themselves, including several leaders of the rebel forces in Kamijin City, and the loss of the mercenaries was less than 50 people.
Later, the rebel forces of Rimi Castle united with other rebel forces and continued to retaliate against the rebel forces in Kamijin Castle. In the next few rounds of retaliation, the rebel forces in Shangjincheng lost more than a dozen backbones, plus nearly 600 of their own troops, and the losses were extremely heavy. The rabbit was forced to bite people, and the rebel forces in Shangjin City saw that everyone was inexplicably ganging up to deal with them, so they simply gathered mercenaries to fight with other rebel forces.
If the Ira rebel forces were to engage in infighting at such a time, the rebellion would likely begin immediately. The Byron Kingdom is not fully prepared for battle, and in order to delay a little longer, Wei Xu can only let Dan Yunhe stand up and be a peacemaker. In order to further intensify the contradictions within the rebel forces, Wei Xu's so-called mediation was only to unilaterally pacify the rebel forces attacking the side of Limicheng, make them stop their actions, and disband the mercenaries. As for the rebel forces in Shangjin City, Wei Xu ignored them at all.
If the rebel forces in Shangjin City raise troops and other regions do not follow suit, then the official army will definitely directly wipe out the only rebel army. The rebel forces in Kamijin Castle had not yet lost their minds, and when they saw that the other rebel forces had stopped their operations, they could only disband the mercenaries and continue to swallow their anger.
At this time, the rebel forces in Kamijin Castle no longer wanted to rebel. The leaders and cadres of the rebel party gathered to discuss the report of the betrayal in other regions. But when they acted, something that made them jaw-dropping happen. The police bureaus, supervisory council branches, and city defense forces in various places unanimously stated that the rebel party in the country had been wiped out, and it was impossible for the Byron Kingdom to have a rebel party, which made the rebel forces in Shangjin City very depressed.
You say that all the traitors in the country have been wiped out, so what are we?
It was impossible for the person who went to report it to say this, so they could only go back with a stomach full of anger and continue to swallow their anger in the rebel forces of the Ira. This feeling of being caught between the traitorous party and the official army and unable to move is very uncomfortable, and if it is suppressed for a long time, something will definitely happen, and Wei Xu just hopes that something will happen to them.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rebel forces in Shangjin Castle to start stirring up relations between the rebel forces in various places. Dan Yunhe was afraid that the rebel forces in Shangjin City would cause a big deal, and thought that he should find a way to completely eliminate them. Wei Xu came up with a "better way", that is, to lead the troubles to the east and transform internal contradictions into national contradictions.
As early as two years ago, the rebels in Hope City had completed all the preparations. After that, they appeared in front of the rebel forces without warning, wanting to become the rebel leaders in the kingdom of Byrons. In terms of the size of the rebel army, the Rya and the Letin are about the same, but the strength of the Letin people belongs to the same organization, and the strength of the Ira people is a combination of multiple forces, so the rebel force of the Letin people is the largest in the Kingdom of Byrons.
However, the Ira rebels and the Taiyong rebels did not recognize the leadership of the Ryting rebels. Because the total strength of the Ira people is about the same as that of the Leyting people, although the Taiyong people have a small number of troops, they have the support of foreign allies, and their overall strength is even stronger. All three parties want to be leaders, and no one can do it.
Wei Xu took advantage of the contradictions between the rebels of the three clans to win over the Tairong people to suppress the Leting people, trying to force them to submit. The Leiding people could not resist the pressure, so they could only threaten the other two tribes, saying that if they did not stop suppressing, they would start a rebellion in advance.
Everyone knows that the best time for a rebellion is after the Taeyong nobles launched an invasion of the Taeyong Kingdom. As long as the main force of the Byronic army goes to support the battlefield of the Tayrong Kingdom, their rebellion will definitely succeed. The difference in strength between the two sides is so large, the Kingdom of Byron will definitely pull the Bugins and Oguz to support the Kingdom of Tairong - all the rebels think so.
As long as the rebellion is launched at the best time, the rebellion will be successful. But the overthrow of the rule of the Byrons family is not the end, after which the rebel armies of the three tribes will not be able to form a united state, and it will definitely be divided. If there is to be a split, it is certainly not possible to demarcate the border according to the current scope of activity, which would be too unfair to the people of Leiting and Taiyong, because the Ira people have the most towns in the country. In the course of the rebellion, the Letin and Taiyong people were sure to attack the towns of the Ira and expand the area of occupation.
Two clans fight one clan, and the Ira people will definitely be at a disadvantage. They will either fight to the death with the enemy, or they will give up some of the land, leaving the Leting and Tayyong people to fight for it. It was a shame to give up the land, and it seemed to them a great shame that these Ira rebels had been suppressed by foreign kings for more than a decade. In this case, it will be difficult for them to make any more concessions.
After Wei Xu explained the stakes to the leaders of the rebel party of the Ira, they immediately changed their faces and expressed their determination not to give up their territory. So Wei Xu instigated them to sow discord between the Leiting rebels and the Tairong rebels, and it was best to let them eat dogs, so that they could not unite.
While the Ira rebel party provoked the relationship between the Leiting people and the Taeyong people, the internal disputes did not stop. The rebel forces in Shangjin City have been so badly damaged that the phrase "for the good of the race" cannot heal the wounds in their hearts. Wei Xu knew that they would continue to make trouble, but he did not stop them, allowing them to continue to stir up relations between the Ira people and the rebels.
For the Kingdom of Byrons, the more chaotic the rebel party, the easier it was to purge it. This time, the Kingdom of Byron sent three important officials to the rebel party to go undercover, in order to ensure their safety, the Kingdom of Byron must wipe out all the rebels who know the identities of the three people, and not a single one can be left alive, lest these live mouths assassinate these three important officials or their families.
Most of the rebels who know the identities of these three people are leaders or key personnel, and only a small number are low-level personnel. When the time comes, these three people will find a way to organize these people and kill them together. At Meier's request, they had to organize the others to be killed. Those people all know Ercausaichi, so they have to die too.
In order to avoid complications, Wei Xu never personally met with anyone other than the head of the rebel forces in Limi City, but let Dan Yunhe do it for him. As far as foreign forces are concerned, the supreme leader of the Ira rebel party is a mysterious and intelligent person, and he has a lot of information that they can't grasp, so he is a vigilant existence.
The existence of Dai Yong is also known only to the head of the rebel forces in Limi City, and the existence of Zhou Gu is known only to the head of the rebel forces of Baicun Fort. In other words, as long as the leaders of the rebel forces in Rimi City and Baicun Fort are killed, these three people will be safe.
It's more troublesome on the second grass side. She had seen a lot of people at the rebel forces' rally, and among the rebel forces in Shaobei Town, even a small leader knew her identity. It's not easy to get these people together and kill them. To be on the safe side, the Mer Inspectorate's intelligence officers approached Nicausa and asked her to compile a list of people who might know her.
The informant didn't say a word other than what Mel had confessed, but Ercaiichi understood Myer's intentions. Moved, she began to organize the list. She didn't give the list to the informants, though, knowing that there were a lot of non-combatants on the list, and that it would be difficult for Mel to kill them.
After reconciling with Xiaoxiao and meeting her grandson Hart again, she didn't want to die more and more, and she didn't want to live a life of fear. She was a decisive person, and after a brief hesitation, Ercaiichi decided to solve these problems on her own.
So from that day on, the people on the list began to die mysteriously. Taking advantage of the panic of the rebels, Ercaiichi took the opportunity to sow discord, saying that it must be a rebel force that began to assassinate in order to eliminate dissidents. Her words spread to the ears of the rebel parties in other regions through the leaders and backbones of the rebel party in Shaobei Town, and for a while, people were panicked, and everyone was guessing who sent the killer.
Ercaiichi's methods of killing people are different every time, and the targets are also random, making the rebels mistakenly think that there are many killers from different forces. The rebels became more and more afraid, and many people began to take action, hiring killers to kill those who might kill them, saving Ercaiichi a lot of trouble.
