Chapter Ninety-Six: Xiqi Rebellion
North Sea.
Although Yuan Futong's rebellion has passed, Beibohou Chong Heihu was greatly reprimanded by Yin Shou because of his lax management.
In order to redeem Yin Shou's trust.
Chongheihu, who returned to the territory, increased the number of subordinate and all princes, and implemented a lot of more severe measures.
Others may not feel anything.
However, the princes who had just been annexed to Beihai felt that this was the intention of the Great Shang to rebel against them again, but due to the strength of the Great Shang, everyone did not carry out it directly, but planned everything in secret to contact more people.
There are no impermeable walls in the world.
Chonghou Hu still got the news, so he set off a more cruel and crazy suppression in the north, which made everyone complain.
In the face of the brutal Chonghou Hu, everyone had to join forces to resist again.
But because of the previous battle of Dashang, everyone's power was sharply reduced, and they couldn't hold out for long in front of Chonghou Hu, and after some discussion, everyone thought of Ji Chang.
So he sent an envoy to Xiqi, hoping that Ji Chang would be able to stop Chonghou Hu.
Xiqi court.
"Let's talk about it, how should we deal with the matter of Beibohou." On the second day after receiving everyone's request for help, Ji Chang opened a court to convene the ministers to discuss the matter.
"Lord Hou, the battle of the princes is under the management of the big merchants, and Xiqi rashly intervenes, for fear of causing the big merchants to displease." San Yisheng immediately came out and expressed his opinion.
"No."
"Lord Hou rules the country with benevolence and righteousness, and the princes ask for help, if I, Xiqi, are indifferent, I am afraid that the reputation of Lord Hou and Xiqi will be damaged, so we should send troops." Unlike San Yisheng, Nangong Shi insisted on sending troops.
San Yisheng and Nangong Shi spoke, and the rest of the ministers also spoke one after another, expressing their positions and suggestions on this matter.
Time.
Regarding the matter of sending troops to Beibohou, everyone fell into endless arguments, and no one on either side could say anyone, and the scene reached a stalemate.
"Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Looking at Jiang Ziya, who was speechless, Ji Chang stopped everyone from continuing to argue, and instead asked Jiang Ziya's opinion.
Seeing Ji Chang asking himself, Jiang Ziya hesitated for a while and then said his thoughts.
Xiqi sent troops.
Although there is no moral problem, and the reputation of Ji Chang and Xiqi can be maintained, the battle between the princes has always been managed by the Great Shang, and Xiqi's rash dispatch of troops will inevitably attract the suspicion of the Great Shang, and even send troops to attack.
So.
The safest way is to send an envoy to Chonghou Hu in Beibohou to mediate in the name of Xiqi, and Xiqi is sending an envoy to Dashang to ask Yin Shou for permission to send troops.
So.
Xiqi can not only preserve its reputation, but also not be suspicious of the big merchants and even send troops to attack.
After listening to Jiang Ziya's proposal, the ministers echoed after a moment of silence, because Jiang Ziya's method was indeed the best way at present.
It's just that who to send to Beibohou Mansion and Dashang has become a problem.
It stands to reason.
Jiang Ziya, as the prime minister of Xiqi, whether it is Dashang or Beibohou, is the best choice for the envoy, but because of Jiang Ziya's current identity, he can't go to these two places.
Ultimately.
Because San Yisheng had been an envoy to Dashang before, and he also knew some people in Dashang, he was sent by Ji Chang to Dashang Chaoge to meet Yin Shou.
And the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, Ji Chang originally planned to send Nangong Shi, but under the volunteerism of Bo Yi Kao, Ji Chang agreed to Bo Yi Kao's request.
And the reason why Bo Yi Kao volunteered is naturally inseparable from Daji.
Because Daji has always been admonishing Bo Yi to take the exam, so that he can make more contributions to Xiqi and share the heavy responsibility of Xiqi for Ji Chang.
The Xiqi soldiers acted in two directions.
And the big business.
After learning of Jiang Ziya's defection, he also acted quickly, sending people from the Zhuxian Army to lurk near Xiqi and monitor Xiqi's every move.
Therefore, before the people of Sanyi arrived in Dashang, Dashang knew about Xiqi's plan and made various countermeasures in response to Xiqi's measures.
Yin Shou rejected San Yisheng's proposal and did not allow Xiqi to send troops without authorization, and the matter of Beibohou was resolved by Dashang.
And the North Bohou over there.
After receiving the order from the Great Shang, Chonghou Hu directly rejected Bo Yi Kao's proposal and directly expelled Bo Yi Kao from his territory.
But Bo Yi Kao had an accident on the way back to Xiqi, and his soul returned to the god list.
Although there is no clear evidence pointing to Bei Bohou in the matter of Bo Yi Kao, under the arrangement and arrangement of people with good intentions, the spearhead is still pointed at Chonghou Hu.
In order to seek justice for Boyi, Xiqi sent troops.
It's just that when the Xiqi army resisted the Beibohou territory, the army led by Yin Shou himself had been waiting in place for a long time.
And the rebellion in Beihai was also quelled because of Wen Zhong's intervention.
Looking at Ji Chang, who disregarded his will and rashly sent troops, Yin Shou was furious, directly summoned Ji Chang to reprimand him, and made all kinds of severe punishments to Xiqi.
Now.
Ji Chang also saw that all this was Yin Shou's layout for Xiqi, and the purpose was to weaken or even destroy Xiqi.
Or go to war with the big merchants?
Either accept the punishment of the big business.
Either way, it was unacceptable to Xiqi. In order to ensure the overall interests of Xiqi, Ji Chang, at the suggestion of his ministers, chose to start a war with the Great Shang.
In the face of Xiqi's blatant rebellion, Yin Shou did not immediately send troops.
Instead, at the suggestion of Wen Zhong and others, he returned to Chaoge and sent all the people of the Zhuxian Army to escort the envoys to Dashang to the princes such as Dongbohou and the princes, and ordered all the princes to send troops to fight against Xiqi together.
Dashang's move, Jiang Ziya naturally understood.
So after returning to it, after consulting with Ji Chang, he also sent envoys to lobby the princes of all walks of life to win over the other party.
There is no righteousness.
The only thing Jiang Ziya could take advantage of was the reform of the slave system, which united these princes who were unwilling to give up their interests on the grounds of interests.
Facing righteousness and interests.
The 800 princes of the Great Shang made different choices, and almost all of the ones bordering Xiqi were united with Xiqi.
And the princes east of Chaoge.
Yin Shou did not show any softness, those who were willing to send troops immediately took away all the troops under his command, and those who were unwilling to send troops, although the big merchants did not do anything on the surface, but in the next few days, there were big demons or natural disasters that descended and wiped out all these princes and high-level officials.
Faced with the threat of such a means by the Great Shang, the princes had to choose to compromise.
After the crisis in the rear was dealt with, Yin Shou drove the expedition in person, and led all the armies of the Great Shang with Wen Zhong to go towards Xiqi in a mighty way.
Besides.
Wen Zhong also listed the seven deadly sins of Xiqi and Dashang under the instructions of Yin Shou, and declared it to all the people along the march.
Don't think about repaying the favor, rebel against the big business.
In order to vent his personal anger, he rashly provoked a war among the princes.
Shelter traitors and ignore the laws of the court.
I don't know anyone, and I collude with the demon clan.
Collusion with the immortals and betrayal of the human race.
