During the special period, a special system was implemented, and the governor who stayed in the eastern capital urgently convened the left-behind governors of the five provinces, three Taiwans, nine temples and twelve guards to gather in Shangshu Province to discuss ways to solve the crisis of Tongji Canal.

Bandits were rampant in Henan, and the garrison force along the Tongji Canal was insufficient, and the Tongji Canal was in a crisis of severance. Before, Jiyin Taishou Wei Baoluan had reported to the Eastern Capital, saying that the Qilu traitors were swarming into the Central Plains and were unstoppable, and then Li Dan, the Taishou of Liangjun, reported again, saying that the traitors wantonly plundered the Tongji Canal, but the Eastern Capital did not believe it. The judgment of the Eastern Capital was that a small number of victims fled southward, which had a certain impact on local public order, and the local government was overwhelmed by the double contradiction of continuing to pay the military supplies of the Eastern Expedition and the sharp reduction of local taxes, so it took the opportunity to fabricate lies, deliberately exaggerate the facts, and deceive the superiors and subordinates in an attempt to escape responsibility. Now, the deputy governor of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Zhishu Yu Shi Wei Yunqi, personally inspected the front line of the Tongji Canal, and the bloody facts of the Jishui fiasco proved the existence of the Tongji Canal crisis, so the eastern capital had to accept the facts, and it was imperative to send troops to fight the chaos.

There was no longer any dissenting voice in Shangshudu Province, and all the participants unanimously agreed to immediately send troops to fight the rebellion, ensure the safety of the Tongji Canal, and ensure the victory of the Eastern Crusade.

Originally, everyone thought that the time of the rebellion should be in July, that the purpose of Wei Yunqi's inspection of Tongji Canal was to delay the time of sending troops to July, and that the king of Qi Yang Lan and the political forces that supported him intended to make a comeback with the help of the rebellion and once again hit the throne of the prince, but after the defeat of Jishui, the truth was revealed, and everyone realized that they had underestimated the ambition of Yang Lan, the king of Qi and the political forces that supported him, and only then did they know that the political situation in the eastern capital was actually far more complicated than they imagined, and the battle for imperial domination was far more cruel and bloody than they imagined.

The Yuan family, the Dugu family, the royal Yang family and the Xingyang Zheng family, who were temporarily allied with the Wei family, also realized that they had been deceived by the Wei family and placed together by the Wei family, and the result was especially resentful and depressed.

What is the result? The result was that the Jishui War sponsored and supported by them with good intentions was simply a scam, a deception of the Eastern Capital's bureau, and the Eastern Capital had to decide to send troops to fight the rebellion, and had to bear all the responsibility for the rebellion, and what was worse was that they were passively and indisputably forcibly pulled onto the ship of Yang Nan, the king of Qi, and they couldn't get off even if they wanted to. What evidence do you have that you were not involved in plotting the deception? Since you have no evidence, you are a rightful accomplice.

In the next rebellion, if they win, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, has made meritorious service and once again impacted the throne of the prince, then they will stand on the opposite side of the emperor; On the contrary, if they lose, the consequences will be unimaginable, the Tongji Canal will be cut off, and even if the Eastern Crusade does not fail, whether it is delayed until next year or the army is withdrawn and returned, they are all scapegoats pulled out by the emperor to take the blame, and their heads are not guaranteed.

For this reason, they could only choose to help Yang Lan, the king of Qi, win this battle, but the defeat of Jishui exposed the ambition of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the political forces that supported him.

Their dispatch in June to fight the rebellion was in fact tantamount to announcing the interruption of the Tongji Canal and the impossibility that the Eastern Crusade could not end before the onset of this winter, as the emperor and the central government had predicted. But the Eastern Crusade will not fail, and the emperor will not withdraw his troops, so the Eastern Crusade will definitely drag on until next year. Once the Eastern Crusade is to be delayed until next year, it will need the support of countless manpower, material and financial resources, so that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, will be stuck in the neck of the emperor and the center. If you want to win the victory of the Eastern Crusade, you must compromise with me and make concessions to me, otherwise, the storm and chaotic domestic situation in the Eastern Capital alone will be enough to ⊥ the emperor and the center to fall on the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade.

It was foreseeable that the emperor and the central government were forced to make compromises and concessions to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, due to the bad political situation, but this was obviously not the ultimate goal of Yang Lan, the king of Qi and the political forces that supported him.

Once the emperor and the central government won the victory of the Eastern Crusade, their authority increased greatly, and the Weifu army returned victoriously, the government forces of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, who supported him, would inevitably be retaliated against by the emperor and the center, so coercing the emperor and the center to compromise by taking advantage of the Tongjiqu was only the first goal of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and the second goal was also about to come out.

After consolidating his strength in the Eastern Capital and winning the support of more political groups, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was bound to destroy the Eastern Crusade, put the emperor and the center to death, and directly won the emperor's throne. Of course, the emperor and the central government will not be tied up and let it be slaughtered, and the two sides will definitely fight, and the father and son will kill each other, and as a result, the large and small political forces in the eastern capital will have unlimited space for reverie and the opportunity to seek greater power and more wealth.

The political direction of the eastern capital changed overnight, and the political situation produced countless changes overnight, and these changes quickly advanced the decision of Shangshudu Province to send troops to the chaos at the same time, but also quickly intensified the intricate entanglement of interests between the large and small political forces in the eastern capital, and this result directly led to the Shangshudu Province immediately fell into various contradictions and conflicts after making the decision to send troops to the chaos, and the controversy was unprecedentedly fierce.

Sending troops to fight the rebellion is not just a simple matter of decision-making, it involves the vital interests of the large and small political forces in the eastern capital, such as where will the army of the rebellion be transferred from? Where will the military funds for the rebellion be allocated? Where are the soldiers needed for the army to fight from again? In the process of fighting chaos and suppressing thieves, how can military and political affairs such as local pacification, civilian assistance, city repair, and army suppression be handled in a timely and proper manner? If this goal is not achieved, even if the thieves succeed and the blood is shed, the local situation will deteriorate further, then the rebellion will fail, and the responsibility will be great. Suppressing thieves is the means of rebellion, and stabilizing is the goal of rebellion, if the cart is turned upside down, the gains will inevitably outweigh the losses, and the danger will be greater.

Shangshu Province's deliberate "difficulty" is actually to shirk responsibility for himself and put a tight spell on King Yang of Qi. I allow you to fight the thieves, not to let you go on a killing spree, to increase your strength, to engage in conspiracy, but to stabilize the situation and ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal, if the Tongji Canal is interrupted, if the local situation is still tense, then the blame is yours, it is your unfavorable execution, not my wrong decision.

The king of Qi, Yang Lan and the political forces that supported him, had already anticipated many obstacles. It is impossible without resistance, before the political situation is not clear, the political forces of the eastern capital are all rats at both ends, left and right, stepping on two boats, they are like this to the emperor, and the same is true for Yang Lan, the king of Qi. However, Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was confident that the situation would be reversed, because the emperor's radical reforms had violated the vested interests of the entire ruling class, and had angered most of the aristocratic bureaucracy, and the emperor's plan for the eastern crusade not only plunged himself into a deep crisis, but also intensified the contradictions at home and abroad, as well as between the government and the opposition. In the future, as long as the political situation is favorable to Qi Wang Yang Lan, most of the political forces in the eastern capital will support him, which is completely predictable, so the immediate resistance is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of confidence and courage.

Where do the soldiers come from?

It is impossible for the remaining Praetorian Guards to leave Beijing, it is impossible for the Eastern Capital Garrison to leave Beijing, and the Gyeonggi Garrison wants to suppress many dangerous passes in Gyeonggi, and it is impossible to participate in the rebellion if they want to suppress the thousands of miles of Tianqian Pass, so that the Twelve Guards Mansion is equivalent to resolutely rejecting Yang Lan, the king of Qi, and not a single soldier is given.

Yang Lan, the king of Qi, had no reason to fight, he had 20,000 troops in his hands, and with these 20,000 elite divisions, he was able to fight the chaos and thieves on the battlefield of Tongji Canal.

However, Shangshu Province stretched out his "hand" to the 20,000 army of Yang Lan, the king of Qi.

The 20,000 army of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was originally the East Palace Praetorian Guard. Prince Yuande died, the East Palace had no owner, and the East Palace Praetorian Guard had no commander, but the East Palace always existed, and the East Palace Praetorian Guard could not be canceled, but without a commander, the army's morale was unstable, which was a heavy hidden danger, so the emperor thought of a workaround, so that Yang Lan, the king of Qi, served as the commander of this army. Yang Lan, the king of Qi, was not the prince, but he commanded the East Palace Janissaries, which was not only illegal, but also sent the wrong message on the political platform, so the emperor thought of a way to keep the "shell" of the East Palace Praetorian Guard, but gave the "core" of this army, that is, all 20,000 soldiers to Yang Lan, the king of Qi, as a personal guard.

A prince has 20,000 pro-guards, and the strength of his force can be imagined, but the appearance of the scenery cannot hide the encirclement and interception he suffered in the government. The 20,000 troops are a hot potato, the emperor gave it to you, you can't help but take it, and you will suffer if you take it, if the emperor says that you want to rebel, you don't even have a reason to justify, who makes you have the strength to rebel?

If the 20,000 troops stay in the eastern capital, they are like being locked in a cage, and their every move is under the supervision of the Gyeonggi garrison, and they can't find a chance to rebel, but once they get out of Gyeonggi and out of the cage, it will be different, and they can do whatever they want. Originally, Yang Nan, the king of Qi, did not dare to blatantly take all this army out of the capital, after all, now he has many political enemies, opponents are around, there are too many people who want to defeat him or even want to kill him, and he must be careful every step he takes, but now the Weifu army resolutely refuses to participate in the rebellion, which is equivalent to giving him a chance to take away the entire army.

However, Shangshu Province did not want to bear the consequences of this, if the Qi King Yang Lan did something illegal and undisciplined in the process of the rebellion, or had the audacity to rebel, they would be miserable, so the Shang Shudu Province clearly told the Qi King Yang Lan that the current treasury can give the military resources for the rebellion is very limited, and at most it can support the combat expenses of the 5,000 troops for a month.

Yang Nan, the king of Qi, couldn't bear it anymore, you want me to fight the thieves, but you don't give me enough troops and enough money, food and weapons, what do you mean? You want to kill me?
