In the second year of Taining, on the fifth day of the eighth month, Yanwang Weishuo officially ordered the battle of Jiangdong to begin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mao Bao, the governor of Yuzhou, Cao Hong, the governor of Xuzhou, and Sun Wei, the governor of Qingzhou, each commanded 20,000 soldiers, and with the assistance of 10,000 sailors, launched an attack on Jiangdong from the north bank of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Xie Ai, the governor of Yizhou, and Yao Yizhong, the governor of Liangzhou, each commanded 20,000 foot cavalry, respectively from Jiangzhou and Qiongdu to the east and south, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jingzhou and Ningzhou, first solved the two departments of Tao Kan and Wang Xun, and then entered the hinterland of Jiangdong.

Finally, in the name of the cabinet, Wei Shuo also demanded that Tao Kan in Jingzhou, Ying Zhan in Jiangzhou, Wang Xun in Ningzhou, Wang Shu in Xiangzhou, Liu Yi in Guangzhou and other places immediately give up resistance and hand over troops and territory to Yan in order to strive for leniency.

The first to distinguish the winner or the defeat was the water battle, and the Jiangdong Naval Division, which was pinned on by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, did not stop the Yan army. In the face of the Yan Army Naval Division, which was no longer what it used to be, the Jiangdong Naval Division had no power to fight back, and it was almost crushed at the touch of a button.

The annihilation of the Jiangdong Navy Division made the Eastern Jin Dynasty mourn, and also made some reasonable people realize that there was an irreparable gap between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom.

The Jiangbei family, represented by Wang Dao, Xi Jian, and Yu Liang, finally recognized the facts and decided to surrender to Yan Jun.

However, because of their own interests, the Jiangzuo family simply rejected Toucheng.

As a result, the Eastern Jin Dynasty inevitably split, and the Jiangzuo family went south to Sanwu to organize soldiers and horses to resist.

As for some of the northern families, they stayed in Jianye one after another, waiting for Yan Guo to deal with it.

Wang Dao and Yu Liang gave up resistance, which does not mean that Jiangdong will settle down.

Wei Shuo announced to the world through the cabinet: declared more than a dozen clans in Jiangdong as rebels and asked them to surrender to Yan as soon as possible! He also once again demanded that the rest of the troops and horses in Jiangdong immediately stop the confrontation, surrender to the nearest Yan army units, and accept the reorganization.

At the same time, in order to reduce losses, Wei Shuo personally gave orders to Yu Liang and Wang Dao, asking them to be responsible for appeasing all parts of Jiangdong, and promised them that as long as they gave up resistance and sacrificed troops and horses, and territory, they would be treated leniently!

After Wang Dao and Yu Liang received the instructions of King Yan, they immediately wrote letters to officials and generals who were familiar with each other in various places, asking everyone to conform to the general trend and stop making unnecessary resistance.

Upon learning of the surrender of Wang Dao and Yu Liang, Mao Bao, Sun Wei, Xie Ai and other front-line generals immediately ordered all units to speed up their actions.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty finally saw the huge war machine of the Yan Kingdom, and it took less than two days for the Jiangdong Naval Division to be wiped out under the blow of the Yan Army's Naval Division. Immediately afterwards, Cao Hong, the governor of Xuzhou, led 20,000 troops to cross the Yangtze River and take Jingkou directly, all the way like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, capturing all parts of Biling County, eliminating more than 10,000 local garrisons, and threatening Wu County from the south.

After solving the defenders of Piling County, Cao Hong's army unexpectedly did not continue to move west to Jianye, but led the troops to continue southward and pointed directly at Wu County and Wuxing. The family hurriedly organized a resistance of men and horses, and as a result, the two armies met near Taihu Lake, and under the lightning strike of the Yan army, the army composed of more than 10,000 family tribes was defeated.

In the face of the threat of tens of thousands of Yan troops, after receiving the personal promise of the king of Yan, he immediately gave up resistance and chose to surrender, handed over the official seal and the soldiers and horses in his hands, and took his family to Luoyang to settle down.

The Yan army won Jingzhou without a fight, which doubled the pressure on Wang Shu, the assassin of Xiangzhou, but he knew that the Wang family had offended King Yan too deeply, and he did not dare to surrender easily, so he had no choice but to resist stubbornly.

But on the fifth day, the Yan army besieging the city suddenly sent a letter written by Wang Dao himself. After reading Director Wang's letter, Wang Shufang knew that Director Wang had led the Langya Wang clan to surrender to King Chengyan. Then Wang Shu immediately followed Wang Dao's instructions, handed over the army and official seal, and rushed to Luoyang with his family to be convicted.

At this time, Jianye City was already leaderless, and it was a mess.

When Mao Bao and Sun Wei led the army to Jianye, they took this important town in the south of the Yangtze River almost effortlessly.

At the same time, with the help of the Nanyang Fleet, the Seven-compartment Naval Division Marine Corps, which set off from Yizhou and Zhuya, crossed the strait and went straight to Jian'an County, and swept all the way through the prefectures and counties along the southeast coast.

Since the start of the war, the powerful offensive of the Yan State has suddenly shocked the powerful people in Jiangdong. The Jiangdong family, which was still fighting and arguing in Wu County, had to temporarily give up the quarrel, and the family's private soldiers led by Gu Lu and Zhang Zhu formed a coalition of 50,000 troops, ready to resist the Yan army southward with all their might.

At this time, the former Eastern Jin Dynasty Grand Situ Wang Dao, as an auxiliary minister, issued an order on behalf of Sima Yan, the son of the little emperor, to publicly honor the title and ordered the soldiers and horses of Yang, Jing, Guang, Hunan, Jiao, Ning, and Jiang Prefectures to stand by and not move.

All parts of Jiangdong were shocked when they heard this, except for a small number of officials who obeyed the will of the Son of Heaven and chose to submit, most of the officials from the family regarded this order as a disorderly order and did not recognize it.

On August 15, Mao Bao and Sun Wei had already sorted out the surrounding area of Jianye, and all their soldiers and horses crossed the Yangtze River.

Five days later, the Yan army under the command of Mao Bao defeated the Jiangdong rebels in Xin'an County, beheaded more than 11,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, basically wiped out the main force of the rebels, and the rest of the remnants fled to the southeast coast.

Unexpectedly, with the help of the Nanyang Fleet, the 10,000 Marine Corps of the Marine Division had successfully recovered Linhai and Huiji, directly cut off the rebels' rear route, and successfully joined forces with Cao Hong's troops who had gone south from Wuxing.

Seeing that the way to the house was cut off, the remnants of the family had to turn around again and flee to Xuancheng County, while Sun Wei and Mao Bao's armies followed closely behind. When the remnants of the family fled to Xuancheng County, they found that the Yan army Xie Ai had attacked from the west, just in time to completely block its back road.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the diehards in the family looked up to the sky and sighed, Zhou Xian turned to look at the hundreds of remaining soldiers around him, couldn't help but smile, and pulled out his sword and killed himself. When the soldiers next to him saw Zhou Xian's suicide, they suddenly felt like they had no soul, and they fell to the ground as a weapon.

This battle completely wiped out the private soldiers of the family, among which the family led by Gu Lu and Zhang Zhu suffered heavy losses, and hundreds of direct descendants were killed in the battle. The rest of the children of the family were all captured by the Yan army and taken to Luoyang to await trial, and the fate of the Jiangdong family was to be exiled thousands of miles away to Nanyang.

After recovering most of the land in Jiangdong, the cabinet adhered to the will of King Yan and transferred hundreds of skilled officials from various places to fill the vacancies in Jiangdong. At the same time, the governors of the prefectures were also in the process of being established in a hurry, and with the support of the administrative officials, the recovered prefectures and counties were soon on the right track.

In this war, the most miserable are the powerful families in Jiangdong. Some of the families were exterminated during Sima Shao's implementation of the New Deal, and the rest were either destroyed in the war or liquidated by the Yan State because of their participation in the rebellion.

After the war, all the families who participated in the rebellion could not escape the fate of having their property confiscated and all their clansmen matching Nanyang.

Top families headed by Zhang, Gu, Lu, and Zhu collapsed in this war, and the entire Jiangdong economy directly regressed by ten years. However, this was not without benefits, and as the family was swept away, there were many more borderless lands in Koto, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the Juntian system in the future.

When officials at all levels arrived in Jiangdong, they saw a Jiangdong full of devastation and a power vacuum, which also greatly reduced the difficulty of governing Jiangdong. As soon as the local officials took office, they began to measure the land, organize the household population, and rectify public order, and soon settled all parts of Jiangdong.

While the administrative officials were busy rectifying the place, the front-line Yan army still did not stop advancing, and Xie Ai and Yao Yizhong's soldiers were divided into four routes and directed directly at the three prefectures of Ning, Jiao, and Guangzhou.

All the way south from Guiyang County to Shixing and Linghe Counties, and then east to Nanhai County to join the Marines; All the way from Yizhou Ke County to the west to Ningzhou, sweeping Jianning, Yunnan, Xinggu, Yongchang four counties; All the way from Yizhou to the south to take Yulin and Guilin counties, after sweeping the two places, the army went straight to Jiaozhou Hepu County; One way it goes straight to Shi'an and Cangwu counties, and the last road goes south to Gaoliang County, a seaside county.

The Yan army captured Jiangdong like a bamboo, which greatly deterred the careerists everywhere.

Assassins, county guards, and county orders from all over the country handed over their troops and seals one after another, waiting for the Yan army to accept them.

By the end of August, with the surrender of the last army of Jiangdong to the Yan army, the entire Jiangdong was completely recovered by the Yan State, and Huaxia was once again unified!

When the news of Jiangdong's pacification came back to Luoyang, Yanwang Weishuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he complete the goal of rejuvenation.

The entire Yan Kingdom suddenly became jubilant, and everyone had a smile of victory on their faces.

With the fall of Jiangdong, many people in the north breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wei Shuo never took Jiangdong seriously, there are still many officials and scholars who regard Jiangdong as the biggest threat to Yan State!

The once prominent Jiangdong separatist forces have finally disappeared, and what kind of challenge should China face next? Is the true prosperity of the Yan Kingdom coming? (To be continued.) )
