At the beginning of June, Yang Wu officially set off from Jinjiangling to return to Jinling, and during this time, the situation in the north changed again.

Zhu Youju is not a fool after all, he also knows that his current position has not yet been secured, and he needs to win over the Chinese military minister of the DPRK with his heart.

At Han Qing's suggestion, he took out the gold and silver treasures from the palace treasury and rewarded them with a large number of soldiers and ministers of civil and military affairs, hoping to gain their support.

But even then, not many people have come forward to support him.

Compared with the temporary calm in Luoyang City, the local turmoil came faster.

Almost every day, the sergeants in Xuzhou City reported that there was going to be a disturbance in the city, but Kuang Guojie made Han Jian neither inspect nor take precautions.

As a result, on June 11, the Ma Bu army in the city commanded Zhang Hou to launch a mutiny and kill Han Jian.

After the news reached Luoyang, Zhu Youqi did not dare to pursue it for fear of causing greater turmoil.

Of course, even if he wanted to pursue it, it would be difficult to do anything, because the ministers of the DPRK and China did not listen to him very much, and when he asked the ministers for countermeasures, those ministers were watching coldly one by one, and they may still be thinking about watching the excitement in their hearts.

As for those generals, they have no opinion on this, and the only one who supports sending troops to quell the rebellion is Han Qing, but at this time, Zhu Youqi does not dare to let Han Qing lead the troops to leave Luoyang.

In desperation, Zhu Youqi had no choice but to order the appointment of Zhang Hou as the assassin of Chenzhou a few days later.

Although this decision quelled the unrest in Xuzhou without using the army, it invisibly encouraged those who secretly harbored ambitions, making them more comfortable and bold to raise things.

The first person to make trouble after Zhang Hou was none other than Yang Shihou, the number one general of the Liang State today!

In May, Yang Shihou was ordered to lead his troops south in an attempt to stabilize the southern defenses, which were on the verge of collapse, but before Yang Shihou arrived, Wu's army had already stopped the offensive and began to withdraw.

Compared with the situation in the south, Zhu Wen was more worried about whether the northern Jin State would take advantage of the fire to rob, so after confirming that the Wu army had retreated, Zhu Wen ordered Yang Shihou to return to Xingzhou in the north to garrison.

However, before he arrived in Xingzhou, the news of Zhu Wen's death and Zhu Youqi's ascension to the throne had already arrived.

Like most generals in this era, Yang Shihou also has his own ambitions in his heart, and he also hopes that he can be a temperance envoy.

Although he once served as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, it was not long, and he didn't even have time to form his own forces in the local area, so he was requisitioned by Zhu Wen again, and then led the army to the east and west.

In the past ten years, the most famous generals of Liang State, and the generals who can most intimidate other countries, are Yang Shihou and Liu Zhijun.

Liu Zhijun guarded Chang'an, led the troops to defeat the strong with the weak many times, defeated Li Maozhen, and shocked Guanzhong.

Yang Shihou also led the troops to the east and west, with outstanding achievements and great prestige; The general of the enemy country will be nervous just by hearing his name.

It was Zhou Dewei, Li Cunqiao and others who were also intimidated by his prestige.

It can be said that Liu Zhijun and Yang Shihou are the pillars of Liang Guo in recent years.

Other generals, including Liu Jun, Niu Cunjie, Wang Yanzhang, Kou Yanqing and others, although they are also known as famous generals, are inferior to Yang Shihou and Liu Zhijun in terms of prestige and ability to lead troops.

However, Yang Shihou needs to be thankful that although he failed to be a local festival envoy, it is precisely because of this that he can be reused by Zhu Wen.

Another general, Liu Zhijun, was far unlucky, because he had been guarding Guanzhong for a long time and serving as the envoy of Kuang Guojie, he was suspicious of Zhu Wen and was finally forced to flee to Qi State.

However, although Yang Shihou has the title of Xuanyi Festival Envoy, he actually does not have his own territory.

Before, because of Zhu Wen's intimidation, even Yang Shihou did not dare to act rashly even if he had his own ambitions.

But after hearing the news of Zhu Wen's death and Zhu Youqi's ascension, this only concern disappeared.

So Yang Shihou decided to take matters into his own hands and seize a feudal town to be the master of the house.

The target he chose was the Tianxiong Army Festival Envoy, which was also known as the Wei Bo Festival Envoy before.

At the beginning, Wei Bojiedu made Luo Shaowei take the initiative to join Zhu Wen, and was named King Ye after the establishment of the Liang State.

Two years ago, Luo Shaowei died of illness, and the position of the Jiedu envoy fell to Luo Shaowei's young son Luo Zhouhan.

Because of the young relationship, the big and small things of the Jiedu Embassy were actually commanded by the pro-army and Pan Yan was in charge.

Yang Shihou has long coveted the position of Wei Bojiedu envoy because he has been stationed near Weizhou for a long time in the past two years, and now that he sees the opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.

In mid-June, on the way back to Xingzhou with his army, Yang Shihou passed through Weizhou and borrowed at Tongqueyi.

Yang Shihou is not only a famous general of the Liang State, but also a recruiting envoy in the north, and the nearby generals and officials are under his control.

Now that he is living in Tongque Station, Pan Yan, as a landlord, naturally wants to meet him.

However, Yang Shihou took the opportunity to make trouble, arrested Pan Yan and killed him directly.

Then, he sent troops to capture the city of Weizhou, causing a de facto occupation of Weizhou, and announced that he would conduct official business here in the future.

After the news reached Luoyang, it immediately caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

As the pillar of the Liang State today, Yang Shihou's influence is much greater than that of a mere Zhang Hou before, and now even he has suddenly launched a rebellion, and the turmoil of the situation in the Liang State can be imagined.

Of course, for Zhu Youqi, he didn't dare to send troops to suppress Zhang Hou when he was in turmoil before, and at this time, he naturally didn't dare to use troops in the face of Yang Shihou.

A few days later, Zhu Youqi ordered Yang Shihou to be canonized as the new envoy of the Tianxiong Festival, and his previous title of Xuanyi Jiedu envoy was exchanged for Luo Zhouhan.

At the same time, Zhu Youqi fulfilled his previous promise and ordered Han Qing to be canonized as the new envoy of Kuang Guojie.

At the end of June, 3,000 Shenjie soldiers stationed in Huaizhou, under the leadership of their commander Liu Chongyu, suddenly launched a mutiny and fled to the north, burning and looting along the way.

When the news came, Chao Chinese Wu could no longer sit still, and even Zhu Youju did not dare to tolerate it anymore.

Because Zhang Hou's rebellion occurred in Xuzhou before, which is still far away from Luoyang, Yang Shihou's mutiny is far away in Weibo, and everyone does not dare to offend Yang Shihou, but this Huaizhou mutiny is different.

Huaizhou is too close to Luoyang, and even here there has been chaos, where do the people in the court dare to continue to wait and see.

So this time, Zhu Youqi finally ordered Huo Yanwei, the commander of the Tokyo Mabu Army, and Du Yanqiu, the commander of Zuo Yaowu, as generals to lead the army to crusade.

This Huaizhou rebellion is more appropriate to be a riot than a rebellion.

In addition to burning, killing and looting, the rioting soldiers actually had no big purpose or ambition, let alone a plan of action, just temporary actions.

Only two days later, the rebel army was defeated, and its leader, Liu Chongyu, was captured and escorted to Luoyang to be beheaded for public display.

Compared with the previous Zhang Hou Rebellion, Yang Shihou's sudden attack, and this Huaizhou Rebellion, the impact of another rebellion is much greater.

The protagonist of this rebellion was Zhu Youqian, the envoy of the Protector Army stationed in the river, and the king of Ji.

After Zhu Youqi launched a mutiny to seize the throne, although he tried his best to win over those meritorious veterans, he was crowned an official and knighted, and he raised his rewards, although he temporarily stabilized the situation, but those meritorious veterans were still dissatisfied in their hearts.

As Zhu Wen's adopted son, Zhu Youqian, the king of Ji, was deeply disgusted by Zhu Youqi's act of killing his father and becoming self-reliant, and publicly scolded Zhu Youqian for killing his father in the river.

On the one hand, Zhu Youqian sent someone to seal him as a servant and a scholar, and on the other hand, he issued an edict to defend himself, but unfortunately Zhu Youqian did not accept this set at all, and instead claimed that he was going to Luoyang to ask Zhu Youqian for his guilt.

In desperation, Zhu Youqi ordered Han Qing to be the envoy to the west, and led the army to the crusade.

In the face of Han Qing's menacing army, Zhu Youqian felt that it was difficult to resist, and in a fit of rage, he surrendered to the Jin State and asked for help from the Jin king Li Cunqing.

Although the previous three turmoil also had a significant impact on the Liang State, those influences were only confined to the Liang State, and as long as it took some time to adjust, these influences could still be gradually eliminated.

But this time, Zhu Youqian directly surrendered to the Jin State and involved the Jin army, which had a big impact.

In particular, the land in the river was extremely important, and the Jin state had sent troops south many times to try to occupy this nearby area, but the Liang army had thwarted their attempts.

If the Jin army is really allowed to gain a firm foothold this time, then the entire land of Guanzhong and Henan will be threatened by the Jin army, which is obviously unacceptable to the Liang State.

So soon Liang increased his troops, and ordered Kou Yanqing, a general who had just returned from the south, as a general, to lead the army to attack Zhu Youqian, and Han Qing as his deputy general.

Obviously, in terms of leading troops to fight, Zhu Youqi still trusts Kou Yanqing, a general, even if Kou Yanqing has just suffered a big defeat in the south, it has not made him change his mind.

In addition to sending troops to crusade against the rebellious Ji king Zhu Youqian, Zhu Youqi's other major move was to remove Jing Xiang from his post as the envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan, and to appoint Li Zhen, the former secretary of the household department, as the new envoy of the Chongzheng Yuan.

No matter what, Jing Xiang is Zhu Wen's confidant, and Zhu Youqi will naturally worry that he will be unfavorable to him.

So after gaining a foothold a little, he managed to attack Jing Xiang and remove him from his position.

However, although Zhu Youqi dismissed Jing Xiang from the position of the envoy of the Chongzheng Academy, he did not dare to go too far, and appointed him as the Zhongshu Shilang, the same as Ping Zhangshi.

However, Jing Xiang was originally reluctant to work for Zhu Youqi, and now he is even sick, and usually does not participate in court politics.

Of course, although these chaotic situations in the north are dazzling, they have nothing to do with the southern state of Wu for the time being.

By the end of June, Yang Wu had arrived in Jinling and entered the city with a warm welcome from the Chinese military minister.
