Chapter 331: Another group fight is about to begin
The Xia army of the East China Sea was afraid of Jiankang's royal spirit, and was so frightened that he automatically retreated!
Such a reason that later generations felt appalling turned out to be the pride of the hundred officials and the people of Nanchen today, probably in the case of the national strength is not as good as others, and only this kind of words that can numb themselves is more in line with the orthodox mentality of the Southern Dynasty and China.
In return for Chen Ji's removal of the oppression of the Futu Sect and those wealthy scholars, the scholars of Southern Chen claimed that Chen Ji was the real successor of Chen Baxian, but because Chen Qian was unwilling to give way, there were even more Han Zigao's rebellious ministers and thieves who disturbed the government, Yunyun was like this.
Immediately afterwards, the revival of the active Futu sect, they have claimed that Chen Ji is a good man of the ninth generation who was blessed by the Buddha, so Chen Ji's ascension to the throne as emperor is in accordance with the will of heaven, and only under the leadership of Chen Ji, Nan Chen can restore the Central Plains and unify the world.
After the exertion of these two forces, coupled with the continuous advocacy of a group of people under Chen Ji's own command, Chen Ji soon surpassed Chen Qian in the hearts of some people in Nanchen, if it weren't for Chen Ba being the founding emperor first, I am afraid he would have been surpassed by Chen Ji.
Chen Ji was well aware of Nan Chen's current situation, but he didn't have any objections, but even Chen Ji was not clear about the sudden retreat of the Xia State Water Army, so he had nothing to say, he could only be extremely surprised.
However, Chen Ji soon didn't care about where the Xia army's sailors went, because a great piece of good news suddenly came from the north, Gao Zhan, who had been the emperor of Northern Qi for more than three years, died suddenly.
Gao Zhan can be said to be the most brutal emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it is ironic that during Gao Zhan's reign, the Yellow River has not yet developed because of the development of the middle and upper reaches, and there is a rare phenomenon of clarity to the bottom, which makes the inventor of the phrase "the Yellow River Qing sage out" does not know how to deal with himself.
Therefore, Gao Zhan changed his name to Heqing shortly after his accession to the throne, and passed the imperial throne to the crown prince Gao Wei (556-578 AD), who was known as the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty in April of the fifth year of Heqing (565 AD), and proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang.
But Gao Wei was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, and it is conceivable what such a child can do, no one will dare to hand over the government to him even if he is precocious, so until his death in April of the fourth year of Tiantong (568 AD), Gao Zhan has been living in Jinyang and controlling all the government of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Gao Zhan and his soon-to-be-reigning son Gao Wei, the period of father and son ruling the Northern Qi was a period of rapid decline of the Northern Qi, which quickly declined due to more political corruption and more frequent political disputes between the Xianbei nobles and Han ministers.
In addition, Gao Zhan took the throne because he launched a mutiny, and in order to consolidate the throne, he wantonly killed the kings of the clan, which also made Gao Zhan lose the support of a large number of clan forces.
In the first year of Heqing, Gao Guiyan, the king of Qin who had made great contributions to Gao Zhan's accession to the throne, was suppressed because of Gao Zhan's persecution in Jizhou conspiracy to raise troops, and soon Emperor Wenxuan's son Gao Yang was killed by Gao Shaode, the king of Taiyuan, Gao Xiaoyu, the king of Henan, Gao Xiaowan, the king of Hejian, Gao Bainian, the son of Gao Huan, and the son of Gao Huan, the king of Pingyang, Gao Yan, and the king of Pengcheng, Gao Xun, were killed successively.
Therefore, when Gao Zhan died, neither the clan nor the people had any grief for his death, in the eyes of these people, Gao Zhan died, and everyone's good days came, but what they didn't expect was that such a thick family background in Northern Qi could not stand Gao Zhan's level of high difficulty in dying.
Gao Zhan was extremely promiscuous during his lifetime, and favored a group of ugly and ignorant villains, the descendants of Shanghu in the Western Regions and Shikai were good at holding the lance, and they were funny and flattering, and they were promoted to the right servant of the servant and the right servant of Shangshu.
He Shikai once said to Gao Zhan: Since ancient times, emperors have been holy lords like Yao and Shun, or faint monarchs like Ji and Xu, and they have all turned to ashes after death, and they are no different.
Gao Zhan agreed very much with Heshikai's words, and even appreciated him very much, and when he was dying, he actually said that Heshikai had the talents of Yiyin and Huo Guang, so he ignored the opposition of many ministers and entrusted him with the great politics of the imperial court and asked him to assist his son Gao Wei.
It is conceivable what kind of good things can be done by letting a minister like Heshi Kai assist Gao Wei, so the Northern Zhou side who learned of the change in the regime of the Northern Qi Dynasty immediately began to be moved, especially Otsuka Zaiyu Wengo, who had the actual power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was even more moved.
Over the years, because Yuwen Hu controlled the actual power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but because he did not gain any real benefits in the years of war with the Northern Qi Dynasty, this caused the dissatisfaction of many powerful people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, believing that Yuwen Hu was not a qualified ruler.
In the past two years, some people have repeatedly asked Yuwen Yong to gradually return the power to Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou, but Yuwen Yong has refused again and again, claiming that he is just a person without any talent and cannot afford such a heavy responsibility, which makes Yuwen Hu relieved At the same time, he also felt that it was not good to let Yuwen Yong be a complete puppet, so he began to distribute part of the power to Yuwen Yong.
And Yuwen Yong also behaved very well, everything will be asked for Yuwen Hu's opinion, only Yu Wen Hu will approve it, and as long as Yu Wen Hu does not have any statement, he will stay in the middle and not send it, so that Yu Wen Hu is satisfied and relieved. Free Chinese
However, military affairs have always been based on military merits, and Yuwenhu's military talent is precisely his weakest aspect, which is one of the reasons why many powerful generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty disobey him, so Yuwenhu is still very eager for military achievements.
It is conceivable that just when Yuwen Hu was anxious, he suddenly learned that Gao Zhan died of illness, and then the young emperor Gao Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was only thirteen years old, ascended the throne, and the people who assisted Gao Wei were Gao Zhan's favored ministers and Shikai, such a good opportunity for Yuwen Hu not to be surprised?
If you take advantage of the opportunity of the change of power in Northern Qi to launch an all-out attack on Northern Qi, even if it is not good, you can bite a piece of meat from Northern Qi, and Northern Zhou does not need to attack alone, as long as you encourage the Turks, Nan Chen and Wang Yong in the east can attack together, you can save a lot of strength.
If you can take Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this very representative city, then it is an excellent achievement from both a military point of view and a strategic point of view, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty will also occupy an active position in the attack on the Northern Qi Dynasty in the future, and the prestige of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be higher.
When Chen Ji received the invitation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to hunt the Northern Qi with Wang Yong, he also received the news from the Northern Qi that Gao Zhan was indeed dead.
In this way, Chen Ji was immediately attracted by this good news, and now he couldn't care about the affairs of the original Xia army, and began to discuss with his ministers whether to send a large army to continue the Northern Expedition.
As for the matter of uniting Wang Yong to fight together, it was automatically blocked by Chen Ji, and now that he and Wang Ze have fallen out with each other, how can they still join forces with Wang Ze's father to fight?
And Chen Ji also has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, if he can swallow Wang Yong's territory in one go, it will be even better, so that Chen Jun can have the risk of Mount Tai alone, and he can gain a greater advantage for the Central Plains in the future.
Thinking about Wang Ze and Chen Xu, Chen Wei was angry, during this time, Chen Wei did not send an envoy to let Feng Fu go out to talk to Wang Ze about redeeming Chun Yuliang and that group of sailors, but Feng Fu went to the East China Sea for a month and came back with a red face, saying that Wang Ze did not agree to this matter, and then patted his ass and left.
Chen Ji has no way to be angry, and he doesn't dare to take Feng Fu out of anger, now Mrs. Xian's power can be the most powerful in Lingnan, especially after making a fortune with Wang Ze over the years, these slang weapons are very good, and they have all become local masters.
In the end, Chen Ji finally had no way to govern and temporarily gave up the plan to ransom people from Wang Ze, and prepared to go on a single-minded Northern Expedition, and it was best to take down Pengcheng (Xuzhou) and Northern Xuzhou in one go, so that Nan Chen would have the ability to pass through the Central Plains.
For the last time Dongchu Prefecture and Dongyu Prefecture rebelled and defected to the enemy, Chen Ji has been angry until now, if he can, Chen Ji will take revenge in one go.
After arguing for more than ten days, Nan Chen finally decided not to let go of this good opportunity, Chen Baxian seized the siege of Northern Qi and took the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition, and as a result, he obtained such a good result of recovering Lianghuai, and now Nan Chen is unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity from Chen to Baiguan.
In May, Wu Mingche, the governor of the Chen army, was the commander, and the general Cheng Lingxi was the deputy commander, leading the whole army of 100,000 people to Huaiyin along the Zhongdu River, just waiting for the Northern Zhou and Turks to work together to get a large piece of fat from the weakening giant beast of the Northern Qi.
While Nan Chen had such a move, of course, Wang Yong, who was in the six counties of Qidong, was indispensable, and after Wang Ze called Wang established, Wang Yong took Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui back to Gaomi County.
Everyone has an ambition to make a contribution, and these three brothers are no exception, now seeing that their sons have achieved such good results, but they are still trapped in a remote place, and now they suddenly learned that Gao Zhan had died, and the three of them suddenly thought that the opportunity had come.
At this time, the Northern Zhou sent envoys to claim that all parties would unite to attack the Northern Qi, so that great results could be obtained, and the Northern Zhou would attack from the west, the Turks, Khitan, and Kumoxi would attack from the north, and the South Chen would be from the south, and Wang Yong would be from the east, so that the Northern Qi would inevitably be unable to parry.
Although Wang Yong was extremely dissatisfied with the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he calculated the relationship between his son and Nan Chen, Wang Yong was still moved by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Now it is indeed a good opportunity, although Wang Yong is trapped in the six counties of Qidong, but there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he has been trained by Wang Yong over the years, and Wang Ze in the East China Sea is no longer short of weapons after discovering the big iron mine, Wang Yong is naturally indispensable here.
In addition to the recovery of Wang Yong's own strength, the Qi troops in Weixian, Changle, Qingzhou and other places opposite Wang Yong have also begun to become slack over the years because of Wang Yong's security, all of which was seen by Wang Yong, so he couldn't sit still.
While Wang Yong began to secretly prepare for the war, he wrote a letter to his precious son Wang Ze, asking Wang Ze to also send a part of the army to help him attack the Qi army, so that he would definitely be able to obtain the greatest benefits in the battle against the Northern Qi.
