The meeting with Jingxiang, the envoy from the eastern capital, was quite pleasant, but he was still very young at this moment and had not yet married a wife, and he was just a happy single dog. Naturally, Zhou Huaian had no chance to meet that woman who was called a strange woman of five generations. Liu's.
But in a sense, the process of getting along with this one makes people very comfortable and at ease. In other words, he has a kind of affinity that is particularly good at figuring out people's hearts and seeing small things; but it is easy for people to ignore and obscure the corresponding position and attitude.
Therefore, as a subordinate, such a person can always be intimately anxious about what you are anxious, think about what you think, and make up for the invisible and subtle places; or it is like moisturizing things that are silent and indispensable, existing in daily life Little by little inadvertently.
And as a messenger, it can be quite appropriate to the key points and have a target. Even if some sensitive content is spoken in his mouth, it is also a good way to handle it, politely and methodically, but it does not make people feel affected. Offensive and irritating.
It's just that his appreciation for Zhou Huai'an and the faint solicitation that he showed, but he thanked you for his gratitude and evaded him calmly. This can be regarded as Zhou Huaian's expectation, anyway, everything will come to Japan for a long time, and there is time and opportunity.
Today's Taiping Army Supervisory Mansion has been formed, and it doesn't need to rely on someone's ability and talents to get things done; therefore, as long as it is the end of Zhu Lao San who finally gets it done, these things will be icing on the cake.
However, in the days that followed, the second Kanto forces that began to express their sincerity and dedication to the Taiping Army were somewhat unexpected. It turned out that Zhuge Shuang from Heyang Town also sent an envoy to discuss how to surrender and cooperate with the Taiping Army in the Kanto area.
Although the visitor is not as good as Jingxiang and has a natural affinity, the low posture is also a bit impressive. This is because the other party not only brought the land from the five counties and three prefectures of Heyang, but also expressed sincerity that Heyang Zhongcheng and Beicheng could be surrendered to the Yellow River.
The content that Zhuge Shuang asked for was not high, and even a little bit lower than the basic expectations. It was just to save his son Zhuge Zhongfang's family and life in the Nei Zhuge family, and to be a wealthy idler in the new dynasty. This makes people have some irresistible conditions.
However, it is basically in line with that the corresponding staff team is equally sleek in figure and methods, and has successively followed various forces such as Pang Xun, Li Tang, and Huang Chao, and is able to be regarded as a life-long idol and the goal of struggle by the anti-thief all over the world. "Tumbler" person set.
Because he is on the line of normal history, the goal of the various forces has always been very clear. The need for self-protection is greater than the ambition of other towns in the late Tang and Five Dynasties to expand their territory and dominate; especially now he has reached the end of time. At the time of Lao Yiyi's dying years, what is left is just to protect his family.
You know, under this five-generation vassal system, as the leader of a martial arts group, the position of the commander has always been the result of only being up and down. When the authority of the Li Tang court still had a little effect, those vassals might still take their families and relatives to stay in the capital after losing power and being expelled.
However, since the Pangxun Rebellion and the fall of the court's authority, amidst the repeated power changes of the following crimes, the vassals who have gradually lost their deterrence and retreat have become a normal state of killing the whole family by their successors. Therefore, once he passes away, the chaos in Heyang Town is just around the corner.
The Heyang Township occupied by Zhuge Shuang is rightly the key point between Henan and Hebei, and it is on the side of the elbows of Duji Road; to the north is the Zhaoyi Army (Zelu Town) of Hedong Road, and to the east is the old opponent. Weibo Town, to the west is Hezhong Town; it is also the site of the Four World Wars coveted by all forces.
Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the alliance between Gehe and the Metropolitan Forces represented by Zhu Laosan in the south, interdependence and mutual protection, so that they can get in in other areas. Now that Laosan Zhu wants to change his course to join the Taiping Army, Heyang Town has to react and make a statement, which is also a matter of reason.
Obviously, the other side chose a good time to surrender. Heyang Town itself happened to be right at the east end of Tongguan-Hangu Road controlled by Wang Chongrong in the river; with the Zhu Lao San Department of the Eastern Capital and the Taiping forces in the Guan. Naturally, a three-sided oppression and threat is formed.
What's more, he also sent troops to seize Luzhou, which is the land of Shangdang in Hedong, and controlled the Taihang and Zheguan channels among the Taihang Eight Gates; according to some, the bargaining chip was even greater. Even if it's just public statements and standing in line on the surface, they have a great effect and help to the current situation.
Therefore, regardless of public or private consideration, appropriate assistance is necessary to stabilize Heyang Town. Because this also represents the eastern capital where Zhu Lao San is located, as long as he tries his best to deal with threats from the west.
With the arrival of the envoy from Heyang Town, there was also corresponding news from various forces in the East. It was like the first piece of the domino that led to the fall of the dominoes following the failure of the previous prime minister, Zheng Tian, to save Li Tang. During this time, the various forces in the Kanto also made corresponding responses and linkages.
The fastest and most violent response was the three towns of Heshuo in the hinterland of Hebei for a long time.
Among them, the Daibei Allied Forces, Zhuge Shuang’s Heyang Army, and the Chengde Army’s Jiedushi Wang Rong who were fighting for the party’s land in Hedong Dao were working with Li Ke. He was the first to establish himself as king in Zhenzhou (Hebei Zhengding), and his country was named Zhao. , Dajian Palace Hall, widely set up civil and military officials.
Then, Le Yanzhen, the Jiedu ambassador of Weibo Town in Henan, sent troops again, and without showing any weakness, he immediately established himself as the King of Wei, and set the capital of Weizhou Guixiang City (then the northeast of the current Daming County) to Daming House; Organize various ceremonial guards to preach and belong to a hundred officials.
It was then that he occupied the northern prefectures and killed the heads of all the Hus. He was coveting Li Keju of Lulong Jiedu in Taiyuan Prefecture in the hinterland of the east of the river. It also responded to the old site of the Linshuo Palace in Youzhou Sui Dynasty by setting up a high platform to worship the sky and standing on his own as a swallow. king.
Then, the three kings of Hebei, which were freshly released on the basis of the three towns of Heshuo, were once again among the envoys vying for each other, showing a tendency of reconciliation and alliance with the outside world. Under this pressure, the first to respond was Wang Jingwu, the Pinglu Army Jiedu envoy in Qingzi Town.
Just half a month ago, Wang Jingwu proclaimed himself the King of Qi in Yidu City, Qingzhou. He established a government office and set up a recruiting hall to recruit famous scholars. At the same time, he negotiated and stopped fighting with (Xu Si Town) Wu Ning military envoy Shi Pu, respectively. Divide Haizhou and Mizhou belonging to Taining Army (Yanhai Town);
At the same time, Shi Pu also established himself as the King of Han in Pengcheng, Xuzhou (now Pengcheng District, Xuzhou) after retiring his army, and thus established his government. And Qin Zongquan, the Caizhou thief who was entrenched between the Hao, Song, Ying, and Chen, actually came to join in the fun of Jiaoyi City (now the border of Bozhou Chengfu County) to establish the Eastern Qin Dynasty;
However, only Yizhou and Yanzhou were left, but the Taining Army (Yanhai Town) Jiedu who had seized the Tianping Army in Qizhou made Zhu Jin also unwilling to show weakness; this was in Linyi (now Linyi City, Linyi City, Shandong Province). ) Self-reliance as the King of Lu. .
Therefore, in addition to Zhou Huaian, who had already occupied the vast land in the south and was first known as the King of Chu, he unexpectedly reappeared the title of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States almost in the contemporary era.
But this is not over yet. A few more days later, new news came from Hedong; it is reported that Li Ke from most parts of Hedong Town was used in the palace of Taiyuan Mansion in the northern capital, and he supported a so-called clan Li Mi as the new ruler of unknown origin. , Change the name of the first year to God Bless.
Immediately afterwards, he named Zhu Xieyi Sheng/Li Ke and used this Sha Tuo person as the regent emperor's uncle; Shou Taiwei, Jianzhong Shuling, Shangzhu Kingdom, Hadong, and Zhaoyi. Yiwu, Hezhong Army Jiedu, deputy marshal of all soldiers and horses; he also entered the king as the king of Jin, and was given the honorary title of "returning to heaven and recreating loyalty and integrity".
As if to be in the mountains and rivers of Hedong, once again restored a legacy of the Li Tang regime. However, this is funny, because it also means that the Taiping Army captured Li Huan of Tang Xizong and Li Jie of Tang Zhaozong; and the clan of the old Tang Prime Minister Zheng Xi at the last moment, Li Zhi,
In addition to the farce-like "Fifth Son of the Emperor" Li Shunxing who had just been with the eldest son of Zhu Lao San, Zhu Youyu, the fifth "Emperor of Tang Dynasty" appeared in the world. The bit is parallel to the world.
Of course, this is a good thing. Because this means that the dough and fig leaf of the so-called Datang World should also be pulled and pulled, and there is no need to expect much appeal and influence.
Therefore, how Zhou Huaian wanted to be anxious to deal with and get rid of it, the eldest son Zhu Youyu sent by Zhu Lao San was gone; because of course the murder was over a hundred, but how could it be compared to the Taiping Governor’s full-hearted transformation of a person until he What is the result that Dad can't recognize
However, compared with these chaotic news, Zhou Huaian was more concerned about the fate of Cao Xiang, who was under siege and lost the city and lost ground. The Tianping Army was besieged in the isolated city of Yunzhou several times.
The last news came that Zhu Xuan, the general who led the Taining army from the east to attack, had already claimed in Qizhou as the new Tianping Army Jiedu, King Julu; and the three states of Hua, Cao, and Pu were occupied by the Wei Bojun. , Jiedu envoy Le Yanzhen appointed his son Le Congxun to stay in the Tianping army.
Therefore, Cao Xiang was counted in the original Tianping army. In a Tianping Army site, there are actually three Jeddahs with different backgrounds at the same time. But fortunately, after Le Yanzhen and Zhu Jin each became kings, the so-called coalition was temporarily suspended.
In addition, Zhu Laosan was able to vacate his hands during the civil strife in Dugui Road and resumed the suppression of Xu, Zheng, Bian, Cai, and Yin around Dugui Road; therefore, the situation has deteriorated in a short time. Go down.
At the same time, in the temporary post house of Xingningfang in the north of Chang'an City, the Hedong Town Mission, which was about to leave, was suddenly surrounded by Tuantuan; then watched the firearm shooting exercise on the school ground opened in the Forbidden Garden in the north of the city. Li Cunxiao, the deputy envoy, was also surrounded by soldiers with shields and armors armed with nets and lime.
However, he didn't immediately resist on the spot and asked in a deep voice:
"Is this the way the Taiping Army treats guests?"
"Sorry, don't you know that Li Ya'er has restored the old dynasty in Hedong and claimed to be King of Jin?"
"what?"
Li Cunxiao could not help but shouted:
"Who wants to harm me!!!" (End of this chapter)
