Chapter 144 Yansheng Kepingzhou
Yansheng, the king of Qin, sent troops to respond to the uprisings in various places, and the Great Qin Righteous Army was victorious, occupying a large number of places in less than two months. In response to the call of the Qin king Yansheng, many state capitals in the south of the Great Yan River killed or expelled the officials of the Great Yan River and established themselves as kings. Those Jiangnan prefectures, which had long been in the hands of Tianci, also responded, and formed a powerful force with more than a dozen prefectures led by Yuezhou. This force called itself the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, with Xue Ping as the Metropolitan Governor and Xue Jinsong as the other driver. They blockaded the south bank of the Qingjiang River, which made Emperor Suzheng's will not be able to pass Pingzhou in the north and Qingjiang in the south. The Dayan Empire had actually been artificially divided into two halves, north and south.
And the assassination history of the northern states also has their own plans, on the surface, it is the courtiers of Dayan who secretly hook up with the king of Qin, only Jizhou, Youzhou, Liaozhou and Liaodong still maintain stability. Faced with such a situation, Emperor Su Zheng seemed to have been struck by lightning, and sat on the dragon chair in a daze at a loss.
It was Li Ke who came up with an idea, and he suggested that Emperor Su Zheng immediately divide the generals of Wei into various states as envoys, and grant military and political powers, and each of them wiped out the rebels in their own jurisdiction. And after clearing a state, you will control a state, which means that the more state capitals you recover, the larger the territory, and the corresponding power.
As soon as Li Ke's intention was proposed, it was unanimously opposed by Wen Toast and other ministers. Wen toast and others reminded Emperor Su Zheng that if he acted according to this method, it would be no different from splitting the earth and sealing the king. If this is the case, even if the rebel army is exterminated, then there are many feudal towns in various places, and what will be done if they do not obey the dispatch of the imperial court.
Emperor Su Zheng watched the ministers arguing, a nameless fire rushed to the top of his head, he slapped the armrest and stood up and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, immediately transfer the Flying Tiger Legion to quell the rebellion." The son of the army expanded his army to 100,000 and defended the Far East. Before the handover of the two armies, the Northern Army was transferred to Jinzhou to quell the rebellion, and Ling Wuwu temporarily assumed the post of commander of the Northern Army, and governed all armies to eliminate the rebels. The supervising army praised the calm and allowed it to build an army by itself. ”
"Your Majesty, the Far East is currently at a critical moment, and the Flying Tiger Legion can't be left lightly." Huangpu Song hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, knowing that transferring away from the Flying Tiger Legion at this time would put the Far East in an extremely dangerous situation, and the results of the bloody battles of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were very likely to be turned into ashes again, which was absolutely intolerable.
"Your Majesty, although the rebels are violent, they are still some ghosts after all, and they can't make a big climate. Just send a general to lead the army to exterminate it, and after the rebels are exterminated, as long as Your Majesty recruits all over the south of the Yangtze River, you can return to Your Majesty's hands. Therefore, Weichen thought that the Flying Tiger Legion could not be mobilized, and the Northern Legion could be transferred back to participate in the counterinsurgency. However, Gao Zan sits on the town and settles whether it is necessary to build an army by himself. You must know that since the founding of our dynasty, there has never been a precedent for eunuchs to command the army. ”
Wen Toast is also reminding Emperor Suzheng to distinguish priorities and not to forget external troubles because he is eager to calm down the civil strife.
"Needless to say, if the internal strife is not eliminated, how can the external troubles be cleared? From now on, the troops and horses of various provinces will be requisitioned to quell the rebellion, and the Flying Tiger Legion can gradually retreat to the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate, and after all the sons of the army take over the Far East, the whole army of the Flying Tiger Legion will go to Jinzhou to quell the rebellion. Grant Niu Tian to Ji, You, Liao, Far East Festival envoys, worship Huaihua general, sit in the north of the town. Wang Meng worships General Yunlu, the great governor of the Heavenly Wolf Protectorate, and sits in the Heavenly Wolf Protectorate. It is decreed that there are rebels in all state capitals in the world, and the nine clans will be punished. Yan Chengyu, the Duke of Qin, will be confined to the mansion from now on, and he will not be allowed to step out of the mansion without a purpose. ”
After Niu Tianci read the letter from Prince Long Xingrong, the anger in his heart became more and more intense. The righteous army pretended to use the name of the Yan family to win the hearts of the people, which was clear to the discerning people, but Emperor Suzheng was suspicious of Yan Chengyu. If that Yan Sheng is really Yan Chengyu's son, I'm afraid he won't blatantly show his name, isn't that waiting for Emperor Su Zheng to raid the house and destroy the door. Yan Sheng's goal was achieved and he gained the trust of the people, but it brought a huge crisis to the Yan family. However, this is not the focus of Niu Tianci's worries, what Niu Tianci is really worried about is the son of the army to replace him. The identity of the sons of the army is suspicious, and it is too unsettling to hand over the Far East to them.
After Niu Tianci arranged Gao Zan, he called Ouyang Xiu and others to discuss carefully, and decided to transfer the people of the Far East to the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate from now on, and if the Heavenly Wolf Capital Protectorate couldn't let go, they would be transferred to Liaodong and other places. During this period, it is necessary to speed up the elimination of the Rong Department and weaken the strength of the Rong Department as much as possible. After the plan was drawn up, the Flying Tiger Legion immediately launched a high-intensity encirclement and suppression of the Rong Tribe, and the explosions in the Hongjila Mountain continued day and night, and the small tribes on the outskirts of the Rong Tribes were forced to flee to the deepest part of the Hongjila Mountain.
Niu Tianci wrote a letter to Long Xingrong, in which he told Long Xingrong that he asked him to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and to explain to the people of the world that Long Xingrong was on the side of Emperor Suzheng, which was also the attitude that a prince should have. On the other hand, Long Xingrong's army can avoid the loss of innocent people. Another advantage of the prince's army is that once Long Xingrong appears in front of the rebels, Yan Sheng's slogan of "clearing the monarch's side, eliminating traitors, and protecting the prince" will be self-defeating. After Tianci finished writing this letter, he sighed and said, "Second brother, His Royal Highness the Prince. Big brother can only help here, I can't tell you, let you force your father to abdicate. ”
"Young master, Mr. Huyan sent someone to say that he has something important to see you."
The wind came to Tianci's side and whispered.
"Call him in."
"My subordinates meet the head of the house. reported to the head of the family, and the commander of Huyan found that Chen Guang was very suspicious. This person's origin is unknown, but he can provide Yan Sheng with a large number of weapons, even ballistas. The Great Commander of Huyan asked the head of the family if he would get rid of this person. ”
"Find out the mastermind behind this person, and don't move him for the time being. How is Yan Sheng? ”
"This person's ancestral home in Jiangnan, formerly known as Wu Sheng, studied for a few years but failed to study, and then changed to martial arts, martial arts in general. used to be the head of the hall.,It's a person with no background.。 ”
"This person has some skills, but he can't change the status quo of Dayan, at most he is just a hero at the end of the road, let him make trouble first. Are there any losses to our people in the Golden State? ”
"Back to the head of the family, there is no loss. Our people have already been inserted into the Great Qin Army, and some of them have already taken up very important positions. Some have already gained Chen Guang's trust, and it must not be long before the people behind Chen Guang will find out. ”
"That's very good, you quickly go back and tell the Great Commander Huyan, act when the opportunity arises, and control the Great Qin Army as much as possible."
"Subordinates obey."
Now Jinzhou has become the base camp of the Great Qin Army, and Yansheng's Great Qin Army has developed from the initial 20,000 to a huge army of 300,000 people. Now the Great Qin army is concentrating its forces to storm Pingzhou, Pingzhou is known as the key to the Beijing division, and conquering Pingzhou can go straight to Jinyang to besiege Fengtian. At this time, the soldiers and horses recruited by Dayan were rushing to Pingzhou, and if Pingzhou was not conquered as soon as possible, the Great Qin army would be blocked here and would not be able to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.
For ten consecutive days, the Great Qin army besieged the city of Pingzhou and launched a fierce attack. On the one hand, the Pingzhou Assassin led the military and civilian resistance, and on the other hand, he was in a hurry with the imperial court. The soldiers and horses requisitioned by Emperor Suzheng are also approaching Pingzhou, but this speed is really not flattering. This is not because the soldiers are unwilling to quickly rescue Pingzhou, but because the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are short of food and salary, and the armament is not complete. The commanders of the various armies had to raise money on the spot as they went, how could this be done quickly.
On the other hand, the Great Qin army had sufficient food and grass, neat armaments, and strong morale. Qin Wang Yansheng's sentence "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning" completely stimulated the grievances accumulated in the hearts of the people, and regarded those officials at all levels and local tyrants and gentry who were high in the sky as enemies.
The Great Qin army attacked Pingzhou City, and the people nearby actually took the initiative to come over to help, but no one responded to the Pingzhou Assassin Shi to recruit Qingzhuang to defend the city. Not only that, but the people in the city also gathered in front of the Assassin's Mansion to ask the Pingzhou Assassin to surrender to the Great Qin Army. Pingzhou Thorn History is facing a great enemy outside, and there are people who disobey and disrespect their orders, and they don't know where to go for a while.
One night, Pingzhou Thorn Shi was woken up and said that a distinguished guest had come to visit. When he saw the so-called distinguished guest, he collapsed to the ground in fright, and the distinguished guest told Pingzhou Thorn Shi like this.
"This Wang Yansheng, I came to see the assassin today to discuss the important matter of jointly raising troops to clear the monarch's side and eliminating traitors. This king has told the world that this king and Pingzhou Thorn Shi have been talking all night to discuss the plan, and if the Thorn Shi is attached to this king, this king will definitely crown you as the prince of the country in the future. If the assassin is not attached, this king will also let the whole family of the assassin be loyal to the Great Yan Emperor to the death, so why should the assassin choose for himself. ”
Pingzhou Thorn Shi looked at the family members who were held by steel knives around their necks, and then looked at the appearance of Pingzhou officials shrinking one by one, knowing that the general trend had gone. He let out a long sigh and knelt down in front of Yan Sheng. It only took Yan Sheng less than half a month to bring Pingzhou, known as the key to the Jingshi lock and the second Yanmen Pass, into his palm. In this way, the momentum of the Great Qin Army was even greater, and the prestige of Yan Sheng, the king of Qin, spread all over the Great Yan, and the righteous armies everywhere respected Yan Sheng as the leader. At this time, Chen Guang suggested that Yan Sheng ascend the throne and become emperor, and follow Yan Taizu to send troops to the Central Plains. Yan Sheng was a little reluctant at first, but he couldn't stand the instigation of his subordinates, and finally ascended the throne in Pingzhou and became the emperor, the country was called the Great Qin Empire, and the Yuan was changed to Dachang. Yan Sheng proclaimed himself Emperor Dachang of Great Qin.
Originally, at the beginning of the uprising of the Great Qin Army, it was under the banner of "Qing Jun's side, eliminate traitors, and protect the prince", but now that Yan Sheng has ascended the throne and become the emperor, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the mouth. Although Yan Sheng's subordinates were clever and defended, they could deceive the people, but they couldn't deceive those gentry families who planned to follow Yan Sheng's gamble. They asked Yan Sheng to divide the princes, and before the Great Qin Empire unified the world, countless princes appeared. Each one has its own fiefdoms, and of course these are up to you to take them yourself.
After Yan Sheng was busy ascending the throne and claiming the emperor and dividing the princes, he finally freed up his hands to lead the army to Jinyang, intending to conquer the siege of Fengtian by Jinyang's soldiers. At this time, Pingzhou Thorn Shi, who had been named the prime minister of state by Yan Sheng, sighed and said: "If the king is not the emperor, dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly claim hegemony, he can also use the gentry of the world for his own use." But now that the king is called the emperor, the gentry and the family are all seeking personal interests, not focusing on the country, the people are the first, the foundation of Daqin is in danger, and the erection is not enough. ”
This sentence means that if Yan Sheng is not the emperor, he can also use the people's resentment against Emperor Suzheng to accumulate strength and increase strength, and drive the gentry family to overthrow the rule of Great Yan with interests. But now that Yan Sheng is the emperor, it shows that he wants to seize the Great Yan River, which is contrary to the previous program. Great Qin failed to dominate the world and sealed the princes one after another, and the people became the tools of the princes for personal gain, and did not take the foundation of Great Qin and the interests of the people in their eyes, so that Great Qin would be in danger. Yan Sheng is short-sighted and not a person who has achieved great things.
Pingzhou Thorn Shi was discouraged, he knew that it was easy to fall in love with a thief ship, and on the second day of Yan Sheng's ascension to the throne and proclaimed emperor, the whole family set themselves on fire in the mansion. Like a round of scorching sun rising Daqin, it reached its peak state at the fastest speed, but it flourished and declined, and from Yan Sheng's proclamation as emperor, Daqin rushed towards destruction.
