Chapter 1766: Wang Mang's Chance
"My lord, there are more and more people outside the palace, and now the number is about to exceed 1,000."
"What?"
Li Yan was startled at first, and then said angrily: "These untouchables are really good at finding trouble.
What the hell do you eat? Why not forcibly disperse these people? Do you still want the official to teach you this kind of thing?
Soon, the Qing Emperor will come to the Chen capital, and if he sees such a scene, he will lose the face of the entire Chen State. ”
"But my lord, these are the people of my Chen Kingdom, if you forcibly disperse the people, in case of death or injury, I am afraid it will be self-defeating."
"What people? They are mobs. ”
Li Yan directly picked up the collar of his subordinates and shouted angrily: "For these mobs, there is no need to show mercy to your subordinates.
In three hours, the official does not want any one of the people in front of the palace, or else you will come and see him.
Hurry up or not. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates will do it."
The frightened half-dead officials hurriedly fled, and then led the army to forcibly disperse the people, and one can imagine how much bloodshed would happen in the future.
Li Yan is worthy of being the most brutal existence in the 'Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty'.
In the original history, Li Yan dared to enclose more than 34,300 hectares of land around the capital, and harmed countless rich businessmen and ordinary people, and more than 1,000 good people were killed by him alone.
Such a person who is cruel to the extreme by nature will naturally not care about the life and death of the people.
In Li Yan's eyes, there is nothing more important than the Qing Emperor's visit to Chendu not long after, and the people are making trouble at this time, undoubtedly looking for trouble for him, in order not to affect his image in the heart of the Qing Emperor, he does not mind killing hundreds of people to deter the people.
The people gathered in front of the palace only protested against the actions of the government and wanted justice for their relatives who died tragically, but they did not expect to be forcibly expelled by the army.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Chen army armed with sticks beat people when they saw them, how could the unarmed people resist, and all of a sudden the people were in mourning and fled one after another, and they did not dare to continue to stay.
Dozens of civilians were killed on the spot, including elderly, women and children.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole city was shocked.
Can the army, once so proud of them, now not only grovel before the foreigners, but also turn their swords at their fellow villagers? It's just the government forcing the people to rebel.
A popular uprising is brewing.
There is no shortage of hot-blooded men in the Chen army, and the series of events that occurred during this period of time also made many people in the army disappointed in Chen Guo, and many middle-level officers were ready to secretly cause trouble.
A mutiny is also brewing.
"Fool, who told you to forcibly expel the people?"
Cai Jing directly slapped Li Yan angrily and roared: "I still killed so many people, I don't know if this will intensify the conflict?" ”
Li Yan covered his rapidly swollen face, and said with a look of grievance: "I didn't expect it to make such a big fuss." ”
"Do you know how much trouble you've gotten into here?"
Cai Jing looked at Li Yan coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't the lesson of the Yellow Turban Uprising enough? Once the people gather to rebel, you have to wait to be pushed out to quell the anger of the people. ”
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately panicked, he didn't want to be pushed out to calm the people's anger, so he immediately stepped forward and hugged Cai Jing's thigh, crying: "Boss Cai, the little brother knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to do it again in the future, you have to save the little brother." ”
Cai Jing kicked Li Yan away directly, but he was still angry, so he stepped forward to make up for it a few more times, and the anger in his heart was mostly reduced.
Of course, Cai Jing can't really push Li Yan out to calm the people's anger, their nine families are hardcore allies, and their interests are the same, if Li Yan is abandoned today, who knows if he will be abandoned by others tomorrow?
"Hoo ......"
After Cai Jing took a long breath of turbidity, he said in a deep voice: "Now that the people are full of grievances, if it goes on like this, the situation will be completely out of control." ”
Li Yan suddenly became anxious, hurriedly got up, and asked anxiously, "Can't you send an army to suppress it?" ”
"You know the suppression, even the army is unstable now, and if you send the army to forcibly suppress it, maybe even the army will mutiny."
"What then?"
Li Yan's forehead was sweating, he really didn't know how terrible the people who had always been docile and like sheep would be when they became angry.
Times are different.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion set an example for the people of the world, letting the people know that if the government did not give the people a way to live, the people could muster up the courage to resist.
Now Li Yanzhen's intestines are about to repent, the good situation has become like this because of his thoughts, if he knew what kind of disaster he would cause, he would not dare to order the forcible expulsion of the people.
After Cai Jing pondered for a long time, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "The current Chen State is no longer stable by us, and for today's plan, we can only ask the Manchu Qing to help us calm down the turmoil." ”
On Chen's side, because of collusion with foreigners, proclamation of vassals to the Manchus, and Li Yan's stupid behavior, the people were resentful, and even the army was unstable.
Cai Jing and others, who could not control the situation, were unable to deal with such a situation, so they asked the Manchu Qing, who were foreigners, to help them forcibly suppress the rebellion.
The Manchu Qing naturally couldn't watch Chen Guo launch, so they decisively agreed to Cai Jing's request and sent troops to help Cai Jing suppress the rebellion.
The total population of the Chen State was only a few hundred thousand, and under the suppression of the 200,000 Manchu army, all popular mutinies were eliminated and invisible, and all rebellions were quickly suppressed.
Of course, Chen Guo also bled to life, countless people died in this purge, and the people everywhere were even more mournful.
On the other side, Wang Mang, who was far away in Sanhan, trembled with excitement when he learned the news that the main force of the 200,000 Manchu Qing Dynasty had gone south to Youzhou.
"Nurhachi, thank you for giving me this opportunity, if I don't grasp it, I'm really sorry for your kindness." Wang Mang said to himself with a smile on his face.
"Lord, Goguryeo and other countries have been scared by the Manchus, even if the Manchus only left 50,000 troops in Sanhan, all countries are worried that this is a trap of the Manchus, and most of the troops are still in the north to guard against the Manchus, and this just gives us the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Chen Qingyi said excitedly, at first he was not confident in Wang Mang's plan to embezzle Sanhan, but he never thought that he would really have a chance to capture Sanhan now.
"With the current strength of our army, it is far from enough to occupy Samhan, so we must expand the army again as soon as possible."
Wang Mang's eyes were full of fighting spirit, but then a hint of discoloration flashed, and he said: "In addition, the Japanese in the south must also be solved as soon as possible." ”
