The Holy Lord is out of wrath.

After all, the unification time was short, and there were always some extremists in Jiangnan who were unwilling to fail, fantasizing about rebuilding the small dynasty of the Nanren through division and war; Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin openly supported and responded to Yang Xuangan, which is also understandable, after all, the power of Yang Su, the old Yue Guogong, is too great, and there are too many relatives and friends of his protégés, and Yang Xuangan and his comrades have been planning and laying out for the rebellion for many years, and it is reasonable for such a rebel army to appear in Jiangnan; However, Yang Xuangan was destroyed in early August, and his fellow party Han Xiangguo and the rebel army were also killed in Yingchuan in the same month, and the political liquidation was also in full swing in Liangjing.

The Holy Lord has painstakingly managed Jiangnan for more than ten years, and it is the use of Jiangnan's power to win the support of the Jiangzuo political group, and the use of this huge strength to win the imperial unity, so Jiangnan is the political foundation of the Holy Lord, is the "backyard" of the Holy Lord, Jiangnan's inexhaustible financial resources are the economic backing of the Holy Lord to promote the centralized reform, and the Jiangzuo political group is also the core force of the reformers with the Holy Lord as the reformer, but now the backyard is on fire, and the Jiangnan rebel party openly supports Yang Xuangan and the conservatives, in fact, it is an open betrayal of the Holy Lord and the reformers, What is even worse is that the Jiangnan Thieves Party actually founded the country and claimed to be the emperor, cut the territory and claimed hegemony, and even split the Middle Earth, brazenly embarked on the opposite side of the unity and centralization of power insisted on by the Holy Lord and the reformers.

Obviously, the situation in Jiangnan has taken a sharp turn for the worse and deteriorated to such an extreme point, and there must be a promoter behind it, and there are those who deliberately do it, taking advantage of the Jiangzuo people's hatred for the Guanlong people, and the dissatisfaction caused by the centralized reform to their vital interests, deliberately adding fuel to the fire, in a vain attempt to confuse the overall situation of Jiangnan to attack the holy lord and the reformers, and to weaken the financial resources of Jiangnan to counter the centralized reform, but the situation has reached this point, and the fierce political struggle is no longer important, the important thing is that Yang Xuangan has not completed the "great cause" of usurping the country to change the dynasty, The goal of splitting China and destroying reunification, which was not achieved by the Eastern Capital Mutiny, was fully realized by the Jiangnan rebels two months after the failure of Yang Xuangan's mutiny. The severance of the Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin opened the "magic box" of the division of Middle-earth, and the "surging flood" of the rebellion tore through the solid "dike" of the great cause of reunification, roaring out, destroying and decaying, and unstoppable.

What to do? How to deal with it?

The Holy Lord was thinking, the central reformers led by Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji were also thinking, and the central core ministers who had just received the news were also anxious to take countermeasures.

First of all, of course, it is to put down the rebellion, and to kill Liu Yuanjin and other extremely heinous rebels, as well as the great hopes of Jiangnan who supported and helped them, but this is secondary, and the important thing is to use the means in the shortest possible time to completely eliminate the bad influence caused by Liu Yuanjin's proclamation as emperor, tightly close the "magic box" of division and war, and re-strengthen the "embankment" of the great cause of reunification of the "breach." This is related to the future of Middle-earth and the survival of the country, we must do our best, we must achieve the goal, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable, once the "dam" of the great cause of reunification collapses, the "flood" of rebellion swept through Middle-earth, the hegemony of the division of the hegemony one after another, the central government quickly lost control of the locality, the imperial power fell, then the country must die, the Middle Earth fell into division again, the war resumed, the northern captives roared down, history will repeat the dark scene of the five chaos of China.

Politically, the reformers immediately compromised with the conservatives, stopped the centralized reform, immediately ended the Eastern Crusade militarily, the expeditionary force quickly returned to China, some troops garrisoned the Great Wall to strengthen the defense forces in northern Xinjiang, and some troops immediately rushed to various places to suppress the rebellion to stabilize the domestic situation, while economically they recuperated and recuperated and strived to restore their national strength as quickly as possible.

The most critical and crucial part of this is to stop the centralized reform.

The reason why the domestic political situation and the domestic situation have deteriorated to the point where it is today is that frequent foreign conquests are certainly one of the reasons, but they are not the fundamental reasons, the fundamental reason is that the Holy Lord and the reformers have accelerated the pace of centralized reform, seriously damaged the vested interests of the aristocratic ruling group dominated by wealthy families, seriously endangered the foundation of the survival of the political system of the clan lords, and led to the rapid intensification of the core contradiction between reform and conservatism, and frequent foreign wars are the best political means to transfer internal contradictions. However, the defeat of the foreign war magnified the disadvantages of this method infinitely, prompting the core contradiction to explode, and the two opposing political blocs immediately evolved from political disputes in the court to fighting on the battlefield, and the civil war began, the "magic box" of division and war was opened, and darkness was about to envelop Middle-earth.

So, can the pace of reform be stopped?

The answer is no, neither the Holy Lord nor the reformers such as Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji can stop reforming.

Stopping reform means failure, failure will have to pay the price, the reformers will inevitably lose control of the government, lose the ruling power, and then suffer a political liquidation, and then these reformers will become history along with the centralized reform, so no matter how dangerous the situation is, even if the centralized reform is in fact unsustainable or even has failed, the reformers will not stop the reform, will not revise or abolish the reform policies promulgated and implemented before, let alone admit the failure of the reform and hand over the ruling power.

So, how to deal with the current crisis? Since we can't cure the root cause, we can only treat the symptoms, and since we can't solve the problem from the core essence, we can only treat the headache and the foot pain.

The current crisis is still under control, and although the foreseeable consequences are serious, there are still many ways to prevent them from occurring, and there are many measures to nip the crisis in the bud. Politically speaking, the top priority is to re-establish the authority of the Holy Lord and the central government, promote reform with absolute authority, and suppress the core contradiction between reform and conservatism, and the best way is to establish the world's martial arts. Martial arts come from war, so from a military point of view, the top priority is to continue the Eastern Crusade to eliminate Goguryeo to win the final victory of the Eastern Crusade, to wash away the shame of the previous successive defeats, in order to maintain the authority of the Holy Lord and the central government, and then do all their best to carry out the Civil War, and win the world's martial arts with the victory of the Civil War. However, the Civil War needed the support of national strength, and the deterioration of the domestic situation and the recurrence of rebellions would inevitably seriously damage the national strength, so the central and local governments should not only intensify the efforts to suppress the rebellion, but also increase the intensity of the collection of taxes and forced labor, so as to ensure the needs of the Civil War.

The Holy Lord and the Reformers were still very confident in their own authority, and the reformers also adhered to their political ideas unwaveringly and uncompromisingly, and the yearning, expectation, and protection of reunification in Middle-earth after more than 400 years of division and war also made the Holy Lord and the reformers misassess the solidity of the "dike" of the great cause of reunification, and far underestimated the terrible and irreversible adverse impact of the Jiangnan thief Liu Yuanjin on the domestic situation.

Therefore, on the road of "curing the symptoms", the Holy Lord and the reformers did not learn from the pain, did not review and reflect, did not give themselves a "fierce medicine" to recover their strength, but held on to arrogance, fantasy and luck, dragged their tired and unsustainable bodies, desperately squeezed their maximum potential, and forced themselves to run faster on the original road.

In this way, in the face of the new crisis, the Holy Lord and the reformers clearly saw the great danger hidden behind the new crisis, but they despised it, underestimated it, consciously ignored it, continued to implement the established national policy, and continued to march on the road of reform, but because of the various crises that followed, they were secretly frightened, and the more urgent they became, they had to run, and they had to gallop wildly, so that they fell into the danger of getting out of control and were ignorant.

After some thinking and weighing, things came back to square one, it was still the Eastern Crusade, the Third Eastern Crusade had to be moved, the Third Eastern Crusade had to begin next spring, and then the Civil War. And this war depends on the result of the westward journey of Pei Shiju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, if the result is optimistic, it is that the Middle Turks unite with the Western Turks to attack the desert, and vice versa, that is the desert and the Western Turks to attack the Middle Earth. Although one is to take the initiative and the other is to passively face the battle, it is not much different for Middle-earth, as long as Middle-earth wins, as long as Middle-earth wins the Civil War, the Holy Lord and the center can establish the world's martial arts, and then everything can be reversed, it can be a matter of course, and the pace of centralized reform will be faster and faster.

Therefore, the Holy Lord and the reformist ministers of the central core reached an agreement on how to deal with the new crisis arising under the new situation, and then the Holy Lord convened all the central core layers, central officials and generals of the palace that night to discuss the adjustment of the national defense strategy under the current situation between the north and the south, and the core issue is one, in the Far Eastern battlefield, whether to end the Eastern Crusade or continue the Eastern Crusade, which extends to a new question, in the Northeast Battlefield, whether to support Anzhou or openly intervene?

The controversy was very fierce, and the reformers and conservatives in the center insisted on their own opinions, the reformers led by Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, and the conservatives led by Nayan Suwei, and their positions were very different, and one side wanted to continue the Eastern Crusade and the other side wanted to end the Eastern Crusade, and there was no possibility of compromise at all.

The military commanders, except for the left Yiwei general Yu Wenshu and the right Yiwei general in the center to protect the children, the rest did not dare to intervene in the high-level political struggle, mainly from a military point of view to analyze and deduce the victory of the Eastern Crusade, they also held two completely different views, one view is that Goguryeo must fight against the water, not carelessly underestimate the enemy, or mobilize a large army to fight steadily, one view is that Goguryeo is already at the end of the crossbow, vulnerable to a single blow, as long as an elite division is sent to kill Pyongyang, the black tiger will be able to fight with a drum, Depending on the First World War, there is no need to mobilize the people and lose money.

The Holy Lord was worried, and his brows were worried.

If the Third Eastern Crusade can win the maximum result at the minimum cost, then it will inevitably reduce the political resistance, but the question is, after two consecutive years of defeat, who dares to pat their chests and say that they can capture Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo with an elite army?

The issue of the Eastern Crusade is at a stalemate, in fact, it is a dead end, there is no way to solve it, and it is a waste of time to continue arguing, and there will be no result, just when the confrontation is stalemate, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, everyone's focus slowly shifted to the Northeast Battlefield, because the Northeast Battlefield does not involve high-level political struggles, mainly military pros and cons, so there are quick results.
