On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Jiankang, in the dormitory of Taicheng, Emperor Chen Wei was lying on the couch and the oil was exhausted, and his eyes were blank looking at the curtain above and the experience of his life emerged from his mind.

His father Chen Tanxian and his uncle Chen Baxian were originally courtiers of the Liang State of the Southern Dynasty, but more than 30 years ago, Hou Jing, a rebel general of the Northern Dynasty, rebelled against Hou Jing, turning Yanyu Jiangnan into a hell on earth, and the fate of their Chen family changed from then on.

Hou Jingbing besieged Taicheng and trapped Emperor Xiao Yan and Prince Xiao Gang in the city, his father led reinforcements to reinforce Taicheng and died in a bloody battle, after Hou Jing's rebellion subsided, his uncle Chen Baxian, who made great contributions, guarded Jingkou and Xiao Yi, the prince of Liang, was proclaimed emperor in Jiangling, and he and his cousin Chen Chang entered the court as officials in Jiangling.

A few years later, the Western Wei sent troops to attack Jiangling to kill the Liang Emperor Xiao Yi and brought the people of the city and the courtiers of the Liang State to Chang'an, and since then he has been reduced to a prisoner living in Chang'an, accompanied by only the eldest son Chen Shubao, who was less than a year old at the time, and the younger second son Chen Shuling.

Three years later, the uncle called Chen Dailiang the emperor Yao, and named him the king of Shixing County, and after another two years, the uncle died of illness, and his only son Chen Chang was held hostage in Chang'an, so he could not ascend the throne, and his brother, Chen Qian, the king of Linchuan County, succeeded to the throne in health and called the emperor, and then he was named the king of Ancheng by Yao.

Zhou Guo instigated Chen to fight and put Chen Chang back to Jiangnan, but this Chen Gaozu's only son was 'accidentally' killed when Chen Guo's generals took him across the river, he finally realized what bloody imperial power was, and after returning to Chen State two years later, he was entrusted with important tasks, and he was cautious in his words and deeds.

Four years later, his brother died of illness and his nephew ascended the throne, he did not hesitate to depose this nephew who was only a teenager and ascended to the throne.

He was tired, and the ambitions of his youth had gone up in smoke. Now that the deadline is approaching, he just wants to be with his loved ones. He has forty-two sons in his life, but the one he misses the most is his second son Chen Shuling.

The ministers impeached Chen Shuling, and he knew that there was a basis for him, but he was unwilling to punish him. In the years of Chang'an, the eldest son Chen Shubao and the second son Chen Shuling suffered a lot with him, so the father had to repay it twice, Chen Shubao was the crown prince and the future emperor, and this compensation was enough, but there was only one prince, so he could only indulge Chen Shuling to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Just as Chen Ji was immersed in his memories, the figure outside the curtain shook, and a richly dressed man walked up with medicine, it was the sick prince Chen Shubao had been in the palace for many days, and a eunuch was about to step forward to help Chen Ji up and drink the medicine, but he shook his head and asked, "Is Shixing here?" ”

Shixing is the king of Shixing, Chen Shuling, the crown prince Chen Shubao shook his head when he heard this, and then said that the second official was on the way to Jiankang, and he was about to arrive, this sentence Chen Ji heard it countless times, and every time he asked, he said that it was about to arrive.

"Actually, I don't want to come," Chen Ji thought, he didn't say anything, but asked the eunuch to sit up and drink the medicine brought by the prince. In fact, it is the same whether you drink that medicine or not, because your illness can no longer be saved by decoction.

Since the defeat of Jiangling in July, Chen Shuling's temper has become more and more violent, as a father, he has seen his son's side-eyed face, no disgust, only endless sadness and regret.

Chen Ji regretted that he couldn't stand the pleading, let his son lead the troops to attack Jiangling, otherwise there would be no later things, it is useless to say more, several times ago, he issued an order urging Chen Shuling who was outside to return to Jiankang, and the other party was all kinds of reasons to shirk him, he knew that his son was for the sake of appearance, and he was unwilling to show his true face.

A wave of tiredness came up, Chen Ji only felt that the strength of his whole body was gradually dissipating, and the appearance of his father, as well as his uncle and brother, seemed to appear in front of him, looking at the familiar faces of his deceased relatives, Chen Ji knew that the time for his death was coming.

No matter what, there is no need to think about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and there is no need to work hard. Everything has nothing to do with you anymore

His vision blurred, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a eunuch hurrying forward and handing a piece of paper to the prince, who whispered for a moment, then glanced at himself and retracted his gaze.

"Is it Siheung? Is Siheung coming? Chen Ji shouted out with all his strength, trying his best to get up. Seeing this, Chen Shubao hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up with the eunuch standing aside.

Listening to his father's constant questioning, Chen Shubao originally thought that it was about to arrive according to the old cliché, and he could see his father's cloudy but eager eyes, and he still couldn't hide the bad news he had just received.

"Father, the second official, he led the troops to attack Xiyang City, Bazhou, Jiangbei, and the defeat has gone!"

A moment later, a heavy bell rang from Taicheng to spread the bad news throughout Jiankang City, and it was not long before news spread to the territory of Chen and the crossing of the Yangtze River to the north.

In the first month of the fourteenth year of Chen Taijian's reign (the fifth day of the first month), the emperor of Chen State collapsed, and the crown prince Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne, and the world was amnesty......

Chang'an, wrapped in silver, in the colorful snow, a team of honor guards left the imperial city and slowly advanced towards the city, surrounded by the forbidden army, in a carriage, a person in court clothes, holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand.

That person is the Great Zhou Clan, Gongyu Wenqia is now going to the Prime Minister's Mansion and is holding the Zen edict in his hand, and the Zen Rang that was once recorded in the history books is now letting him experience it personally.

This is the fourth and last time that Yu Wenqia has passed the decree, according to the traditional process, he has to resign three times, he ran back and forth three times, and this time he can do it once and for all, and he doesn't have to go to the prime minister's mansion again.

Yuwen's country will also come to an end, and Yang Jian, the king of Sui and Sui, who is in charge of the government, will not push it again today, but 'reluctantly' accepted the order, and then entered the palace to accept the Zen concession.

As a Taifu, as the only remaining member of the Yuwen clan in Chang'an, Yuwen Qia felt bitter at this time, he was just a puppet at the mercy of the cousin in the palace to finish this last scene.

Since the sudden death of the first emperor in April of the previous year, everything has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and now the Yuwen clan is left with him and his son who is less than four years old in Chang'an City, except for the little emperor in the palace, and the other clans have turned into unjust souls under the knife.

The two imperial brothers of the little emperor, who were only a few years old, had already 'died of illness', and the bloodline of Emperor Yuwentai of the Great Zhou Taizuwen was only left with the little emperor Yuwen Xian and Yuwen Qiankeng, who was supported by the Duke of Shu Chi in Yecheng.

The rest of the clan is only left with his father and son who stayed in Chang'an and his uncle Yuwenliang and his son who are guarding Anzhou, and the men of the Yuwen clan who were still more than 50 people a year ago have withered and only five people remain.

Yu Wenqia looked out the window at the familiar street scene and lost his mind. He was thinking about his fate. According to the precedent, the emperor after Chan let it not end well, and the fate of the former dynasty clan is between the two.

Thirty-one years ago. Emperor Yuan Shan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty saw that Emperor Chan was located in Gaoyang, and was poisoned the following year, and twenty-five years ago, Emperor Yuan Kuo of the Western Wei Dynasty was forced by Emperor Chan to be located in Yuwen Jue, and was killed soon after.

The Yuan clan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was slaughtered by the Qi State, but the Yuan clan of the Western Wei Dynasty survived the Zhou State, and Yuwen Qia now only hopes that Yang Jian can spare the lives of him and his son after he ascends the throne.

"When the first emperor died four years ago, did you ever think that the Great Zhou Jiangshan would have today" Yuwen Qia muttered to himself, Yu Wenyong, the emperor of Zhou Wu who died four years ago, left the crown prince Yu Wenyun with a great Zhou that was about to unify the Central Plains and the national strength was thriving.

Yang Jian is in power. Most of those magnates who had been born and died for Da Zhou stood on Yang Jian's side and watched him swallow Da Zhou step by step, if Emperor Wu was there, where would such a thing happen.

Thinking of this, his vision was already blurred, he knew that he was the meat on the chopping board and could not resist being slaughtered, and the only thing he expected was to be as obedient as possible in order to save his young son's life.

"Even if you want to kill me, just kill me"

On the same day, Xiangguo and Yang Jian, the king of Sui, entered the palace in regular clothes, received the book and seal, changed the gauze hat and yellow robe to accept the emperor of the Zhou State Zen let the emperor be located in the Linguang Palace, and then served Yan Mian to summon the ministers to set the country name as "Sui", and changed the Yuan to open the emperor. Amnesty to the world.

Lidugu Jialuo is the queen, and the eldest son Yang Yong is the crown prince. The Saturday official system was abolished, and the official system of the new dynasty was based on the old system of the Han and Wei dynasties. The three divisions, the three dukes and the book, the men, the internal history, the secretary, and the five provinces of the inner servant.

Emperor Yuwen of the Zhou Dynasty moved out of the palace for the Duke of Jieguo to settle down, with 10,000 households, and the car clothes and music were still according to the old system of the old Zhou Dynasty.

When the dust settled, Xiangguo Yang Jian finally took a key step The Chang'an Imperial Court has changed its owner, and the land of the old Zhou has been Sui soil, and this news has also spread in all directions, especially to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Yecheng......

Bazhou, the military camp in the eastern suburbs of Xiyang City, the soldiers on the school field stood in formation, they were dressed in black uniforms, and they looked like a black tide at a glance.

Not long ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Tian Yuansheng's rebellion was quickly quelled under the command of Yuwen Wen, and the soldiers of the New Army performed well in this incident, and the soldiers guarding the Xiyang County Mansion in the city repelled the attack, and the Chen army besieged them repeatedly, and finally fought back and beat the other side to the ground.

The soldiers guarding the key places in the city also completed their tasks, and the thieves who set fire to the city sporadically were then defeated and captured by them, and with the cooperation of the state soldiers, the fire was extinguished to avoid a wide spread, and in the ensuing large-scale hunt, Tian Yuansheng and several other masterminds' henchmen were wiped out.

The soldiers who stayed in the military camp outside the city were defeated in one fell swoop by the Lu clan soldiers who were attacking on the periphery under the guidance of the strange soldiers sent by Zhou Fashang, the assassin of Hengzhou, and the two sides merged all the way to fish in troubled waters, and took their old nest Bahe City in the rout of the Lu clan.

The capture of the battle on Chinese New Year's Eve was not counted, and Yuwen Wen naturally had a heavy reward: this reward for meritorious deeds not only rewarded money, but also added a wealth that everyone has longed for for thousands of years - land.

Tian Yuansheng and his accomplices and the Lu family confiscated a large part of the real estate is land, after deducting those who have been seized and returned to the owner, there is still a lot to be distributed, Yuwenwen 'fertilizer water does not flow into the field of outsiders' gives priority to these fields that are already ownerless as a reward to the meritorious soldiers.

With the land, the people's hearts will really settle down, if there is a harvest in the field, then the family will be stable, with a house, the family will not be afraid of the sun and rain, and there will be no need to sleep in the open, and with the property, the soldiers will follow Yuwenwen to kill the enemy.

'Those who have constant production have perseverance' This sentence is not applicable at all times, but the general direction cannot be wrong, Yuwenwen is to let the soldiers have a sense of belonging, the next question is how to divide the land, absolute fairness can not be done, but relative fairness he can still do,

Naturally, the generals had to have a share, and at the same time, the land was divided according to merit, and those confiscated real estate, ploughing cattle, and farm tools were also one of the property, even including slaves and maids, and there were various 'collocations' to choose from according to different merits.

The measure of dividing the land, people, and houses greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and although there was still some time before the official 'opening', everyone was already sleepless at night, which was a dream for these soldiers who were born in poverty.

The soldiers of the new army, whether they are veterans or newly recruited prisoners of the First Battle of Lianghekou and the First Battle of Jiangjinshu, as long as they have made meritorious contributions, Yuwen Wen Fang announced in public that he has no chance to make meritorious contributions this time, and he will have the same chance to make meritorious contributions next time.

"It has been almost a year since the recruitment of men and horses to form a new army in late January last year." Yu Wenwen shouted with a big paper speaker, "It's been a year!" You can't live without an official name! ”

This army is a recruitment system, if it is more serious, it is Yuwenwen's private army, the recruitment is to follow the commander, and its soldiers come from all over the place, so of course the name is inconvenient to use the name, Yuwenwen, who has a lot of experience in naming, quickly thought of the name of the new army.

The new army is dominated by a spear formation, and the defensive ability is very strong, but according to Shi Wansui's previous suggestion, it is necessary to strengthen the assault ability, that is, 'attack', and this combination of attack and defense is the source of Yuwenwen's inspiration.

"The spear is like a forest, and only when there is a tiger in the forest can we take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy, which is the goal of our army." Yu Wenwen's voice was a little hoarse, but it was still full of momentum.

"There must be a tiger in the forest, so the name is the Tiger Forest Army!" (To be continued.) )
