Chapter 735: Natural Disaster Comes, Kyushu Shakes (Forty-Four)
Under the impetus of all forces, under the condition that natural disasters shocked all walks of life, and when the people looked forward to Wang Mang's rule, Wang Mang finally achieved his wish, re-entered the imperial court, suppressed the world, and his prestige was above that of the Son of Heaven, becoming a true saint.
After Wang Mang came to the imperial capital, he immediately took over all the defense affairs of the imperial capital of Qingzhou, and let the 150,000 horses he brought with him go to various parts of Qingzhou to help and relieve the disaster.
The people of Qingzhou have been working hard for more than a month and finally waited for Wang Mang, and they couldn't help crying with joy and cheering.
Under the leadership of Wang Mang, 1 million deniers of grain was distributed truthfully, which quickly stabilized the hearts and morale of the people in Qingzhou. At the same time, he immediately cleaned and dismissed all the local officials in Qingzhou, and replaced them with those talented people trained by Han Fei'er earlier to preside over political affairs.
For Wang Mang in the entire Kyushu region, he may not be very clear about the situation of officials in other places, but he knows the officials in Qingzhou well. Because Han Fei'er and others have been plotting in the imperial capital, they have clearly controlled the situation of every local official in Qingzhou.
In Wang Mang's intelligence, most of the local officials in Qingzhou are corrupt and useless, and only a few are honest and upright.
It took Wang Mang nearly a month to complete his management of Qingzhou and disaster relief matters.
So far, almost every household of the people in Qingzhou has received the rice and grain brought by Wang Mang for emergency, and has the capital to tide over the difficulties, and the injured and trapped people have also been rescued by Wang Mang's soldiers as soon as possible.
Wang Mang had this feat, and suddenly the people of Qingzhou were full of hearts, and they called Wang Mang a saint, who should sit and enjoy Wuji and ascend the throne.
It has been two months since the natural disaster struck, except for Qingzhou, which has received Wang Mang's assistance, the other eight major state families have almost reached the limit state, and they can no longer control the situation, and their foundation has completely collapsed.
Wang Mang, who had just finished dealing with Qingzhou's affairs, saw this, and he did not continue to delay and be embarrassed, and ordered Zhang Gongqiong to go to the eight directions with the remaining grain hoards for disaster relief. At the same time, Chen Chong and others led tens of thousands of Lang Zhong and countless emergency herbs to treat the wounded and the people.
Wang Mang handled the affairs of Qingzhou, and after getting rid of the local officials and useless officials in the temples in Qingzhou, he also led some people to leave Qingzhou and run towards Jingzhou.
After more than 20 days of non-stop travel, Wang Mang successfully arrived in Jingzhou. 、
When he came here, Wang Mang asked his soldiers and horses to bring rice and grain to help the prefectures and counties outside the control of the Huo family, and strengthened the management and rule of these prefectures and counties.
For those cities that the Huo family still controlled, Wang Mang did not immediately help, but resigned on the grounds of insufficient food stockpiling.
Because of Wang Mang's action, the Jingzhou area is like two points, and some people have been rescued and have a supply of rice and grain. Some people are still in dire straits, with no food to eat.
The reason why Wang Mang did this was purely to let the Huo family open their mouths.
And in addition to this method, he also asked Han Fei'er, Yin Rong, He Qiao and other women to take their henchmen to spread rumors in the disaster areas in various parts of Kyushu, praise their achievements, and criticize the corruption of the dynasty and the Son of Heaven.
At this moment, he almost began to do whatever it took to achieve his ultimate goal. He didn't want to delay any longer, and he didn't want to delay any longer.
He deeply knew that this natural disaster was the only chance for him to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he must not miss it.
In this way, the people who received assistance and the people of Qingzhou generally praised Wang Mang, believing that Wang Mang was the true son of heaven sent by God to help the suffering.
All of a sudden, Wang Mang's achievements in eradicating corrupt officials and corrupt officials were praised by the people, and his achievements in defeating the Xiongnu coalition army and vigorously relieving disasters were also praised.
The slogan calling on Wang Mang to be emperor is getting louder and louder, and a large number of people are rapidly condensing.
Seeing this momentum, the helmsmen of the major families couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, sighing, now that Wang Mang has become a general trend and has abundant wings, they no longer have the ability to turn the situation around, nor do they have the ability to compete with Wang Mang to snatch the Ninety-Five Supreme Throne.
Wang Mang's sharp and delicate layout and superb means of winning people's hearts surpassed ordinary magnates countless times, and the hearts of the people in the world were almost a foregone conclusion from the moment Wang Mang led the army out of Gansu. Now all Wang Mang has done is to deal with the aftermath and seek consummation.
The area controlled by the Huo family has not been helped, and the same is true of the Yizhou Wei family, and even the Yangzhou Zhao family and the Yongzhou Chen family....
Wang Mang knew that the ambitions of these great families were still the same, and he had to take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the ambitions of these great families and take full control of Kyushu affairs.
Wang Mang personally came to Jingzhou for disaster relief, but he ignored the affairs of the Huo family and turned a blind eye to the states and counties controlled by the Huo family, and the high-level officials of the Huo family were naturally anxious about this.
Huo Jianghai, the patriarch of the Huo family, was proficient in the way of people's hearts, and after pondering for a few days, he understood Wang Mang's intentions, so he repaired the book three times in a row and invited Wang Mang to come to discuss the matter.
After Wang Mang received the repair book, he led some of the people to set off and went to Huangshi County, where the Huo family was located.
When he came to Huo's house, Huo Jianghai had a secret conversation with Wang Mang for the first time.
The world only knows that after the secret talk, Huo Jianghai left Jingzhou overnight, leading some elite disciples of the clan to re-enter the imperial capital to preside over the affairs of the court, and at the same time, he was the first to announce that he would support Wang Mang to ascend the throne as the emperor, and fully agreed with all Wang Mang's policies.
As soon as Huo Jianghai finished announcing the news, Wang Mang immediately ordered to rush to the aid of the Huo family and help the Huo family survive the disaster.
The Huo family's statement, Wei Gonghan, who was far away in Yizhou, immediately understood in his heart. He didn't wait for Wang Mang to come to Yizhou in person, so he also set off overnight and rushed to the imperial capital, supporting Wang Mang to ascend the throne as the emperor as the imperial historian.
As soon as the Huo family and the Wei family spoke, the other princes and families had no choice but to respond.
When the people of Kyushu saw that the major officials of the imperial dynasty supported Wang Mang and supported Wang Mang as emperor, they cheered even more, and deeply felt that Wang Mang was indeed the destiny of heaven and the real Ninety-Five Supreme Son of Heaven.
After Wang Mang received the allegiance and support of many great families, he passed orders to all counties in Kyushu one after another, and no one dared to discount it, and no one did not obey orders.
With the support of the great family, he was able to provide disaster relief, and the relief food was also distributed to the people truthfully, and there was no phenomenon of local officials deducting it.
The wind of officialdom was clean and honest all at once, and countless young and handsome men were born, replacing the original inaction of the city lord and prefect.
Wang Mang personally participated in disaster relief in the outside world for nearly two months, and only returned to the imperial capital after sorting out many things.
With more than two months of brewing, the slogan of Wang Mang's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor has also been brewed to the extreme.
