After a night of killing, Chen Baxian finally entered the ruined but still symbolic city of Jiankang Tai, where the supreme power of the Southern Dynasty was located, under the arch of the soldiers.

But this is far from the time to celebrate, and the test will only get tougher. As Wang Seng said, once he dies, the government and the opposition will be in chaos.

Today's Nanliang has long been torn apart, barely tied together like a thin veil by Wang Sheng's argument, and now even such a meager layer of connection has been lost, and internal division is inevitable. In addition, there are also enemies from the outside, and they will not sit idly by and watch such drastic changes in Nanliang and remain indifferent.

In short, the next situation is still dangerous, if Chen Baxian can't solve it smoothly and properly, then he will be the last chaotic thief in Southern Liang, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!

Because of this, Chen Baxian also had to find a way to win over all the forces that could be co-opted. After making sure that all the immediate family members of the king monk in the city had been killed, he began to order the soldiers not to kill and disturb the order of the city at will.

In addition to killing Wang Sengbian's family, Chen Baxian was kind to others. In addition to restricting soldiers from making trouble and looting in the city, there are also many preferential treatment for civil and military officials.

Cheng Lingxi, the former Qingzhou assassin, was stationed in Zhang Gongzhou, and after learning that there was a change in Stone City, when he led his troops to cross the river to rescue, he and Zhou Wenyu, who came later, fought frequently in the west of Stone City. Because of his hasty reinforcements, the army was not in order, and the result was repeated defeats.

Just when Zhou Wenyu wanted to take advantage of the victory and kill Cheng Lingxi and the others on the riverside, Chen Baxian stopped it, and even if he sent an envoy to Cheng Lingxi's army, he tried to show that his own army was only for justice, not for personal grudges, and the person he wanted to be punished was only Wang Sheng's family, and persuaded Cheng Lingxi to surrender.

Not only these generals, but when Chen Ba first settled in Taicheng, Xiao Yuanming, the puppet emperor of the Inner Garden, also knew what had happened in the city, and he was busy and trembling and sent his son Xiao Zhang into Chen Ba's first army to ask for surrender.

Although Chen Baxian has always disagreed with the establishment of Xiao Yuanming as the emperor, he did not take the opportunity to kill him, but sent people to invite Xiao Yuanming out of the inner garden and temporarily placed him in Taicheng, and then personally went to the palace to welcome Xiao Fangzhi, the son of Emperor Liang Yuan and the crown prince, back to the inner garden.

Chen Baxian's restrained and polite behavior was quite comforting to the people of Jiankang who had suffered a sudden change and were panicking. Moreover, there are many people in the court who have many complaints about Xiao Yuanming as the king, and when they knew that Chen Baxian entered the court this time to set things right, they also had support for Chen Baxian in their hearts.

After that, Chen Baxian summoned hundreds of officials in Taicheng, publicized the bodies of Wang Sengbi's father and son, and then issued a document to denounce Wang Sengbi's various crimes of controlling the dynasty and acting perversely, and repeatedly said to the ministers and hundreds of officials that the only thing that the sword soldiers were referring to this time was Wang Sengbi's father and son, and the rest of the pro-party officials would not be abusive!

After the situation in the city was initially stabilized, Chen Baxian asked Xiao Yuanming, who had moved out of the inner garden, to abdicate himself, and then sent his cronies to send him out of the city and return to the official residence in the city to guard it strictly. Immediately, Chen Baxian led hundreds of civil and military officials to persuade Xiao Fangzhi to advance, and determined that the enthronement ceremony would be held two days later.

After determining the righteous status of his entry into the court Qin Wang this time, Chen Baxian began to distribute other affairs.

First of all, the first point is to send an envoy to inform the Northern Qi that he did not enter the court this time to make enemies with the Northern Qi, but because Wang Seng argued that he had the intention of usurping, so he wanted to be punished, as for the alliance between the Northern Qi and the Southern Liang, the Southern Liang side would still abide by it, and still claim to the Northern Qi as a vassal and a vassal of himself.

Although the interaction with the Northern Qi was an important reason for Chen Baxian's rivalry with Wang Seng, Chen Baxian knew that the most important thing was to stabilize the situation in the country at present, and he must not continue to provoke the Northern Qi because of his momentary anger and give his country a legitimate reason to invade on a large scale.

As for Hefei on the side of the Western Wei Dynasty, Chen Baxian also sent an envoy to the change, of course, not to ask for peace, after all, the two sides have the enmity of killing the king and destroying the country, if Chen Baxian just came to power and wanted to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, then he will inevitably fall into the moral dilemma like Wang Shengbi, not only will he not get any substantial help, but will be attacked by dissidents.

This change was on the grounds of requesting the return of Emperor Yuan's body, but in fact it was the Nanliang side

The change of events was slightly notified to the Western Wei side. On the one hand, Chen Baxian was not an old official of Emperor Yuan, and he also conspired with the Jingzhou military government, and after coming to power, when the situation stabilized, he would not have the moral burden of confronting the Western Wei Dynasty to the end, and there was room for each other to seek cooperation to resist Qi.

On the other hand, it is hoped that the Western Wei Dynasty will not miscalculate the internal situation of the Southern Liang because of the current complex situation changes in the Southern Liang, so as to continue to launch an attack, aiming to tell the other party that there is no order in the situation here, and there is nothing to take advantage of!

Once the external attitude has set a general tone, it is directed internally. The civil and military officials in the court naturally wanted to make a big deal and take the opportunity of abolishing the king to award the official knighthood, so that everyone would recognize such a new situation.

Even more complicated than the personnel of the DPRK and China is the entanglement of local forces, especially the direct forces of Wang Shengbi.

Now Wang Seng's younger brother Wang Sengzhi is the Taishou of Wu County, Wang Sengshu is the Taishou of Yuzhang, his son Wang Xuan is the Taishou of Nanqiao County, and his son-in-law Du Gong is the Taishou of Wuxing, and each of them also has a large number of armed forces. It was precisely because of the distribution of Wang Shengbi's descendants that the Gyeonggi garrison was empty, and the branches were strong and weak, so that Chen Ba could attack first.

These are all loyal cronies of Wang Shengbi, and there is no possibility of appeasing and persuading them to surrender, so they can only be punished. As for the other forces, they are still mainly focused on pacifying and entrapment.

For example, Wang Lin and Hou Yao, who are now fighting endlessly in Jiangzhou, Chen Baxian added Wang Lin to open the palace with the three divisions and Jingzhou to assassinate the history, and supervised the military of Jing, Xiang, Heng, Ying, and Jiang. As for Hou Yao's original position of Jiangzhou Assassin, he still retained it, and added military services to counties such as Bashan, Luling, Nankang, and Linchuan.

As a result, both of them have increased their official positions, but in fact, the core disputes and contradictions are still in Jiangzhou, and this situation has not improved.

Wang Lin's official promotion is particularly significant, he has been clamoring for a counterattack on Jiangling, and used this as an excuse to repeatedly disobey the previous orders of Wang Sengbi, but now Chen Baxian directly awarded him the history of Jingzhou Assassin, and the counterattack on Jiangling has become his part, as long as Jiangling is defeated, he is the new master of Jiangling! And the military governor of Jiangzhou gave him an excuse and reason to continue to stay in Jiangzhou and have a dispute with Hou Yao, so that they continued to fight with each other and had no time to look at the imperial court.

As for Hou Yao, he has not been deprived of his own position, and his supervision has been more progressive, reflecting the court's attitude towards him. He was already in a weak position in the battle with Wang Lin, and if he wanted to get more support from the imperial court, he naturally had to fight for it himself.

As long as these two parties can accept the goodwill released by the imperial court, then the situation of the king and monk who is now in Yuzhang and sandwiched between the two is dangerous, and there is no need for the imperial court to send any more people, and it is estimated that they will soon be strangled by the two.

There is also Xu Sihui's department in Qin County across the river, although Xu Sihui had a lot of malicious intentions towards Chen Baxian earlier, but now in order to stabilize the interior, Chen Baxian sent people to persuade Xu Sihui to surrender regardless of old grievances, and promised that as long as Xu Sihui is willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, then the military forces of Jiangbei should be entrusted to him, including Guangling, which he couldn't defend before, can be handed over to Xu Sihui for garrison, which can be described as full of sincerity.

After all, Guangling was just a bargaining chip for Chen Baxian, and his previous struggles and stubbornness were all to increase his power. Now he has entered the Jiankang Imperial Court, replacing Wang Shengbi's original position, and the core interest is of course to stabilize the basic market of Sanwu, if he continues to keep heavy troops in Guangling, it will undoubtedly weaken the control of Jiangnan.

Before sending troops to Jingkou, Chen Baxian had secretly sent his nephew Chen Qian back to Wuxing Township to recruit volunteers to subtly plot Wu Xingtai to guard the Du Niche. With the existence of Chen Qian's nail, the next strategy for Wu Xing will naturally be much more convenient.

Chen Baxian's series of arrangements are not incomplete, but to achieve the desired effect, everyone involved in the situation needs to give feedback according to the situation he envisioned. According to the distance, feedback from all parties is also being transmitted back to Jiankang City.

First of all, Xu Sihui of Qin County, although Chen Baxian put forward the conditions of surrender full of sincerity, but Xu Sihui directly closed the city and defended himself, and even the envoys sent by Chen Baxian were detained, and there was no effective communication with Chen Baxian at all.

Next was Wei Zai, who was stationed in Yixing, Wang Shengzhi of Wu County, and Du Gong of Wu Xing, who raised troops to rebel. secret

Although Chen Qian, who returned to the Chen clan of the Great Wall, temporarily resisted Du Gong's attack, the situation was also precarious.

However, Wang Shengzhi of Wu County directly led troops to attack Chen Baxian's lair in Jingkou, and now the Jingkou guards are thousands of weak people led by Chen Baxian's nephew Chen Tanlang, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

Chen Baxian naturally didn't want to take Jiankang but lost Jingkou, so even if he sent someone to the east to inform Xu Du who was stationed in Guangling, he quickly led his troops south to garrison Jingkou to resist Wang Shengzhi.

As for Yixing, Chen Baxian led his men and horses to attack with Zhou Wenyu, and he still needed to stay in the imperial court for a period of time to stabilize the situation in the court, so as not to lose one or the other, and chaos inside and outside.

Just when Chen Baxian was in a hurry to dispatch people and horses and all parties to extinguish the fire, Wang Xuan, the son of Wang Shengbi stationed in Dongguan, also learned the news of the murder of his father in Jingzhong, and he was grief-stricken for a while, and Zhidong roared angrily: "Chen's dog thief, I swear to kill you!"

Even though he wanted to raise troops to the east to avenge his father, the Wang family general who followed him wept and admonished: "The lord and others were all killed, which shows that Chen is a thief and a thief. Ah Lang's department only has thousands of soldiers, even if he is afraid that he will be wiped out. Now that the country is in turmoil, Hefei is close at hand, it is better to go to the king of Taiyuan, the late lord of Ah Lang, and take revenge with the army!"
