Chapter 95: The Twenty-Eighth Year of Longqing
Twenty-eight years of Longqing.
This is a very bad year for the people of Da Viet.
During the year.
In January, the Daeyue Domain, which belonged to the Jinghai State, accused the Daeyue Border Prefecture of Yin for humiliating the lord of the country, demanding excessively, and crossing the border to kill the people without permission. announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Da Yue, and since then refused to pay tribute and separated from his vassals.
In the same month, Jinghai raised 100,000 troops and entered Yulin County.
In February, the news reached Kyoto, and Emperor Longqing was furious. Ordered the formation of a large army to conquer the south, preparing to send 200,000 troops to crusade against the Jinghai Kingdom.
At the same time, an edict was issued to levy a thief tax in all counties in the world for the purpose of levying the southern army.
In March, the sky suddenly changed in various parts of Dayue, and in March it actually rained hail, the agricultural time was delayed, the fields and acres were damaged, the people were panicked, and there were rumors in the place.
At the end of the month, the collection of the thief tax went down to Jian'an County.
The people of Jian'an County make a living by planting tea, and the hail in March froze to death a lot of spring tea, which made many families bankrupt and in debt. Now they are coming to pay taxes again, forcing hundreds of people to sell their children and daughters, and the people are struggling to make a living.
When Jianyang Mansion had a demon road red pearl, he called himself the immortal Chiyangzi and came to the world to save the people. His people are good at water, thunder, and spells, and have gathered tens of thousands of believers.
Then he raised troops in the same month, killed officials and rebelled, but in more than ten days, he captured the prefecture and county, and even the city was more than ten, shaking the southeast.
The news reached Jingshi, and the imperial court was shaken.
Emperor Longqing ordered that the army of Zhengnan should suspend its southward march, first go to pacify the thieves in Jian'an County, and then seek Jinghai Kingdom.
By April, the camp of the army was completed and was preparing to start and quell the rebellion.
However, at this moment, news came from the north.
The old rival of the Yue Kingdom, Liang Guo, the new lord ascended the throne. As soon as the young Emperor Liang ascended the throne, he announced a southern expedition and wanted to lead an army of 500,000 to recruit Yue.
Now that the Liang soldiers have gathered, the vanguard has reached the border, and the war has begun.
Emperor Longqing had no choice but to change the name of the southern army to the northern army and transfer it to the northern frontier to resist the Liang soldiers.
As for the rebellion of Jian'an County and the entry of Jinghai Kingdom, they could only form a camp army to conquer.
In the same month, Yuzhang County guarded the performance, saying that the territory rained heavily for months, flash floods broke out in many places, and the victims were everywhere, and asked the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.
At the beginning of May, the Xichuan County Guard also came up to play a book, saying that the dragon in the territory had turned over, the city and county walls had collapsed, and more than 100,000 houses had been destroyed, and tens of thousands of people had been killed and injured. At the same time, the barbarians in the mountains were also seriously affected, and their lives were unsustainable, and there seemed to be abnormal movements.
In the middle of the month, the county guard of Linhai County reported that there were bandits from the East China Sea in the sea frontier, and there were 10,000 thieves.
At the end of the month, there was a witch Gu in the palace of the Jingshi Palace, and it is rumored that the crown prince and the seven princes hooked up with the folk witch Yan Daoyu to give the current saint a Gu, and wanted to curse and kill him, so that the prince could ascend the throne.
However, there was a servant in the prince's mansion who told the truth and leaked the matter.
Emperor Longqing was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the demon girl Yan Daoyu to be hunted and killed, and at the same time grounded the prince at home to make him reflect.
However, although the witch Gu eucalyptus has come to an end, Emperor Longqing has ascended to the throne for 30 years, 40 years ago, and he is already old.
The successive bad news in the past six months this year, as well as the prince's witch Gu Eucalyptus, have dealt a heavy blow to the elderly emperor's heart.
Therefore, a few days after dealing with the witch Gu eucalyptus, Emperor Longqing sprayed blood from his mouth during a court meeting and fainted on the spot.
Then he fell ill on the couch, woke up and fainted, and finally didn't even survive June, and collapsed on the thirteenth day.
Then the ministers discussed and welcomed the crown prince to the throne.
The prince, who had just ordered the grounding, had not been closed at home for a month, and he turned around and became the son of the new dynasty and changed his way to the Yuanhongdao.
Because this matter is too close to the time of the witch Gu Eucalyptus, it is rumored that Emperor Longqing did not die of illness, but was cursed to death by the prince.
Therefore, the newly enthroned Emperor Hongdao has been widely criticized by people, and some people even call him the Emperor of Wu Gu, which is also quite ironic.
When the rumors reached the ears of Emperor Hongdao, he was immediately annoyed. However, he had no time to deal with the gossip.
Because of the mess left by Emperor Longqing, the Jinghai Kingdom entered the Kou, the Jian'an County Rebellion, the Liang State invaded the south, the Yuzhang County torrent, the Xichuan County Movement, and the Linhai County Haikou, these six big holes are waiting for the new emperor to make up.
After being the crown prince for forty years, Emperor Hongdao, who cursed and killed the first emperor to ascend the throne as he wished, was on the throne for only a month, and he was exhausted by government affairs.
I vaguely felt in my heart that what the emperor did might as well be a prince.
It's more comfortable that way.
However, there is no medicine in the world, and people cannot get off the ship once they have ascended the throne.
Whether Dayue, a ship with stormy winds and clouds and holes everywhere, can still sail in the torrential rain depends on the ability of the new emperor.
……
Dayue is stormy, as if it will capsize at any moment.
There was turmoil in various places outside, and there was not much peace on the part of Dongting County.
At the beginning of the year, due to the impact of hailstorms, agricultural production in various places was damaged, and it is certain that this year's output will be reduced.
At the same time, hail also caused the climate to cool suddenly. The animals in the mountains that had just hibernated were frozen to death before they could regain their fat.
Affected by this, the Miao mountain people who live in the mountains and make a living from hunting have also begun to show signs of instability.
In May and June, there was a rebellion of the mountain people and a rebellion against the county seat.
Fortunately, the county government had already predicted this, mobilized a large army in advance, and sent troops to quell the rebellion as soon as there was a commotion in the locality. The dozen or so mountain rebellions that had just emerged had been wiped out before they could spread.
However, even if it was dealt with quickly, after so many rebellions, several local counties were still broken by traitors, and the officials and people in the city were slaughtered and plundered, with heavy casualties.
In this case, the time came to July.
On this day, Sun Siwen returned to his house after teaching the students in the academy.
When I entered the house, I saw that in the garden, my friend was rarely not practicing, but drinking and having fun in the court, singing that rather strange tune.
"I'm holding a meteor meniscus knife in my hand, shouting a loud slogan, who is in front of me to report his name......"
The tune is very strange, different from the Yuefu poems or poems and songs of the day, more like mountain slang songs, but that means that the tune is very different.
Especially the words used in singing were different from any kind of words at that time, Sun Siwen couldn't understand them at all, just like a foreign language.
Curious to ask, my friend said that he hummed at will, and thought it was good, so he sang it, not in a foreign language.
Sun Siwen didn't believe it at all.
But his friend didn't say it, and he didn't dig into it, but just listened to it.
Not to mention, although he couldn't understand the song Lu Yuan sang, and the tune was also very weird, it sounded exceptionally comfortable, and it couldn't help but be amazed.
No, just after entering the courtyard, when he heard the song, Sun Siwen stopped and stood up, listened carefully, and did not disturb.
After humming the song, Lu Yuan turned his head, looked at his friend and smiled: "Brother Sun is back." ”
In these words, he is full of leisurely and leisurely.
