V3.Chapter 58

At the same time, the transfer of the political center of Fengguo to Shangjing is in full swing.

During this period of time, there have been large-scale civil works in Shangjing, and the Royal Palace of Fengguo and the residences of Fengguo officials are being built. Although the Fengguo court has not explicitly stated that it will move its capital to Shangjing, people with a clear eye can see that in fact, Shangfeng is already moving its capital.

Originally, the wind country was harmonious, and Yan Zhun was excited because he finally returned to Shangjing, which was haunted by his dreams. However, at this time, there was a great bad news.

The imperial court ministers who returned to Beijing with him were attacked by the rebels when they came to the junction of modi and andI. As a result, the 10000 soldiers of the eagle army who were responsible for escorting them were outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties. The imperial court ministers were even more devastated. A total of 26 ministers and their families were affected and killed by the rebels.

More than 20 ministers were killed all at once, and there were many senior officials and dignitaries above the second grade. This can be regarded as a shocking case. Yin Zhun was filled with grief and anger, and ordered Tang Yin to strictly investigate the murderer and be sure to arrest the rebels who killed the imperial court ministers.

Tang Yin certainly knew that there was no rebel, that is, the people of the secret arrow did it. As for the dead and injured soldiers of the Tianying army, they all made false reports. In fact, the Tianying army did not hurt one soldier.

However, Tang Yin didn't miss this opportunity. He pushed the boat along the river and took advantage of the topic. Under the banner of exterminating the rebels, Tang Yin once again carried out a clean-up across the country of Fengguo to crack down on the rebel forces in Fengguo and consolidate the internal stability of Fengguo.

This is the second time that Fengguo has carried out a nationwide sweeping campaign against the rebel forces, which has affected a large number of people. Even in Andi, where the people are most docile, more than 10000 people have been involved, and the vast majority of them have been executed by the local government in the name of treason.

Different from the last time, few ordinary people are involved this time, and most of them are rich and powerful local families.

According to Tang Yin and the court of Fengguo, these local family forces are the most unstable factor and the biggest hidden danger of Fengguo. As long as these family forces do not collude with local rebel forces, there will be no major rebellion in Fengguo.

In a sense, it has indeed played a great deterrent role. The most interesting thing is that this sweeping did not arouse the disgust of the general public. We saw that local bullies and rich men were arrested and executed by the government, Most of the people applauded.

The sweeping of Fengguo lasted for more than two months. It felt that if it continued, there would be new unrest in Fengguo. Tang Yin ordered the local government to calm down the situation gradually.

After the clean-up, it can be said that the centralization of power in Fengguo has reached its peak. The people in Ningdi, Modi, andI and Huandi have become pale about "rebellion". There are no rebel forces in all places, counties and counties, at least they dare not appear in the open, and openly encourage local people to confront the imperial court. This is the effect Tang Yin and the imperial court want.

In order to maintain stability, Fengguo adopted iron and blood tactics, so that Fengguo will no longer have worries when playing games with foreign enemies in the future. On the other hand, in the state of Sichuan, the local rebel forces in the state of Sichuan began to rise one after another, especially in Zhendi.

After the destruction of the state of Zhendi, the whole territory of Zhendi was occupied by the state of Sichuan, but the rule of the state of Sichuan over Zhendi was not peaceful, and rebellion occurred from time to time. The folk custom of Zhendi has always been fierce, and the country of Zhendi has always implemented the system of all soldiers, which leads to the personality that Zhenren are not afraid of heaven and earth, and are not afraid of rebellion, so they are not satisfied with the rule of the state of Sichuan at all.

In the past, there was Xiao Xuan, and the whole country of Sichuan was united. Even if there was a rebellion in Zhendi, it was soon calmed down by the Sichuan army. Now Xiao Xuan died, and the court of Sichuan was busy fighting for rights. The rebel forces in Zhendi saw an opportunity to make waves.

Among them, the largest rebel force is the rebel led by Li Shu. Li Shu claims to be Li Wei's eighth son, while Li Wei is the eleventh son of Li Hong, the king of Zhen. In sum, Li Shu is Li Hong's 49th grandson. There is no way to verify whether this is true or false. Only he knows best.

However, under the banner of Li Hong's 49th grandson, Li Shu gathered a group of Zhen people in Zhendi who were unwilling to be controlled by the Sichuan people.

At the beginning, they didn't dare to openly resist the Sichuan people. They just hid in the old forest of the forest, became bandits, made a living by looting, and attacked small groups of Sichuan troops from time to time. But Li Shu was very talented. In just a year or two, he expanded hundreds of people under his command to tens of thousands, which seemed to have the trend of becoming an army. It was not until this time that Li Shu's forces really aroused the vigilance of the local government.

But at this time, it was extremely difficult for the local government to send troops to destroy Li Shu's forces. Li Shu's forces were already in power, but the local government made the mistake of belittling the enemy. Only 5000 Sichuan troops entered the mountain for the first time to calm the chaos. They still entered the mountain hastily without knowing the terrain and the enemy's situation. As a result, it can be imagined that 5000 officers and soldiers were killed by the rebel forces led by Li Shu, lost more than half and returned with great defeat.

When the local government calmed down the chaos for the second time, it greatly increased its troops and sent as many as 20000 troops. However, after the last World War I, Li Shu's forces were also famous. Countless Zhen people came from all directions and nearly doubled their personnel in a very short time.

The second time, the fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce. In the end, it was because Li Shu's forces occupied the advantages of timing, geography and harmony of people.

He sent troops twice to calm down the chaos and returned home after two defeats. This can frighten the local government. No longer dare to calm down the chaos alone, he hurriedly reported to the court of the state of Sichuan and asked the court to send the central army to calm down the chaos.

At that time, it happened that Xiao Xuan and Tang Yin sent troops to Shenchi together to calm down Li Shu's rebellion. For the time being, the court of the state of Sichuan suppressed it. I wanted to wait until the matter of Shenchi was solved, and then the king returned to the dynasty to calm down Li Shu's rebellion.

As a result, after the Shenchi incident was resolved, Xiao Xuan died and on his way home, there was a vacuum in the throne of the state of Sichuan. The CHILDES and princesses joined forces to form parties and seek personal interests in the imperial court, and the matter of calming the chaos of Li Shu was postponed indefinitely.

This just gave Li Shu a valuable time to become a powerful force. Taking advantage of the gap between the civil strife of the court of the state of Sichuan, Li Shu's force soared from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Under the banner of restoring the country, Li Shu claimed to be a general of the state of Zhen and led the rebels to attack the local government.

In just one month, the rebels led by Li Shu were unstoppable and laid down 12 cities in Zhendi continuously. Their sphere of influence reached five counties, one and a half counties, and they were expanding rapidly.

If this momentum continues, I'm afraid it won't take a year to recover the whole Zhendi.

Li Shu can expand the initial rebel forces of only a few dozen people to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Even if there are opportunistic places, there is no doubt about his ability.

He knows very well that with his current strength, he is far from competing with the state of Sichuan, and the restoration of the state is just an empty talk. The most important reason why he can survive up to now is that the state of Sichuan has not had time to deal with himself, but the throne of the state of Sichuan cannot always be vacant. Sooner or later, a new king of Sichuan will be born. By then, the ruling and opposition of the state of Sichuan will be stable, When we concentrate our troops to attack ourselves, the seemingly powerful rebel Legion under our command may collapse in an instant.

If he wants to survive for a long time and recover Zhenguo, he has only one way to go. He can form an alliance with a powerful country and join hands against Sichuan.

At present, there is only one country that can compete with the state of Sichuan, or dare to be the enemy of the state of Sichuan, that is the state of Feng. Li Shu is right and sends his trusted family ministers to the state of Feng to talk about the alliance with Tang Yin, the king of Feng.

Of course, Li Shu's courtiers can't directly go to Beijing to see Tang Yin, and he can't see Tang Yin. For the wind country, who knows who you Li Shu are? How can your men see the king of the wind country?

The man first went to Huandi and saw the commander of the wind army stationed in Huandi, that is, the commander of the hundred war army, Nie Ze.

All along, the hundred battles army has been stationed at the junction of Huandi and Zhendi to defend against the invasion of the Sichuan army. Because the hundred battles army is too fierce and good at fighting, the Huanzhen border garrisoned by the hundred battles army has always been very peaceful. Even if it is often harassed, there has never been an enemy invasion into the territory of Fengguo. Tang Yin was very satisfied with Nie Ze's ability to govern and defend the territory, so he asked the hundred battles army commander to stay in Huandi, Ensure the stability of Huandi.

Nie Ze is an orthodox chaste person. Compared with the chaste person, he can talk to him better. Moreover, he is now a marquis and a dignified general in the wind country. His introduction to the court of the wind country will certainly attract the attention of the wind country.

Out of these considerations, Li Shu's courtiers first found Nie Ze. The name of Li Shu's courtier is Xun Xiu, which has something to do with Nie Ze. His father once worked as a factotum in Nie Ze's house and met Nie Ze when he was a child.

When Xun Xiu came to Fengjun camp to see Nie Ze, it was in the name of this origin.

But he didn't know that if there were not hundreds of people looking for Nie Ze every month, there must be at least more than ten. If Nie Ze saw all of them, how could he see them?

Hearing the report from the soldiers, someone outside the camp claimed to be a relative of Nie's servant. When he wanted to see himself, Nie Ze shook his head, smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said casually, "give him a few liang of silver and send him away!"

The soldier promised and turned away. While Xun Xiu was waiting outside the camp, a soldier came up and threw him a small cloth bag. He said impatiently, "this is the reward from the general. Take the silver and go back and forth!"

Xun Xiu looked at the small cloth bag in his hand and was very sad. Seeing him standing still, another soldier kindly advised, "brother, I don't think you should go back to Zhendi. Take the silver and stay in the wind country. It's better to be a small camp student than to suffer in Zhendi."
