Chapter 1768 Wang Mang’s Opportunity
Chapter 1766: Wang Mang’s opportunity
“Sir, the number of people outside the palace is increasing, and now it is almost over a thousand.”
"What?"
Li Yan was surprised at first, and then said angrily: "These untouchables are really good at looking for trouble.
What do you do for food? Why not forcibly disperse these people? Do you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing?
Soon, the Qing Emperor will come to Chendu. If he sees such a scene, it will bring shame to the entire Chen Kingdom. "
“But sir, these are my subjects of Chen State. If we forcibly disperse the people, it may be self-defeating if there are casualties.”
“What people? They are a mob.”
Li Yan directly picked up his men's collars and shouted angrily: "Don't show mercy to these mobs.
Within three hours, I don’t want there to be any common people in front of the palace, otherwise you can come and see them all.
Get out of here quickly or not. "
"Yes, yes, yes, I will do it now."
The officials who were frightened half to death hurriedly fled, and then led the army to forcibly disperse the people. You can imagine how much bloodshed there would be.
Li Yan is indeed the most brutal existence among the "Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty".
Li Yan in the original history dared to enclose more than 34,300 hectares of land around the capital, and harmed countless wealthy businessmen and ordinary people. He killed more than a thousand good people alone.
Such a person with an extremely cruel nature would naturally not care about the life and death of the people.
In Li Yan's eyes, there is nothing more important than the Qing Emperor's visit to Chendu in the near future. The people making trouble at this time are undoubtedly looking for trouble for him. In order not to affect his image in the Qing Emperor's heart, he does not mind killing Hundreds of people shocked the people.
The people who gathered in front of the palace just protested against the actions of the government and wanted to seek justice for their relatives who died tragically, but they did not expect to be forcibly expelled by the army.
Hundreds of Chen Jun soldiers armed with sticks beat anyone they saw. How could the unarmed people resist? Suddenly the people were filled with grief and they fled one after another, not daring to stay any longer.
This expulsion operation eventually went wrong, and dozens of people were killed on the spot, including elderly women and children.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole city was shocked.
The army that they were once so proud of now not only bows their knees in front of foreigners, but also turns their swords on their own countrymen and elders. Can this be tolerated? It’s simply the government forcing the people to rebel.
A civil uprising is gradually brewing.
There is no shortage of hot-blooded men in the Chen Army. The series of events that occurred during this period also made many people in the army extremely disappointed with Chen Guo, and many middle-level officers were preparing to secretly revolt.
A mutiny is also gradually brewing.
“Idiot, who asked you to forcefully expel the people?”
Cai Jing slapped Li Yan angrily and roared: "You've beaten so many people to death. Don't you know that this will intensify the conflict?"
Li Yan covered his face that was rapidly swelling and said with an aggrieved look, "I didn't expect it would be such a big fuss."
"Do you know how much trouble you have caused?" Cai Jing looked at Li Yan coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Aren't the lessons of the Yellow Turban Uprising enough? Once the people gather to rebel, you will be pushed out to quell the public's anger. "
Hearing this, Li Yan suddenly panicked. He didn't want to be pushed out to quell the public's anger. He immediately stepped forward, hugged Cai Jing's thigh, and cried: "Boss Cai, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." , you have to save my little brother."
Cai Jing directly kicked Li Yan away, but he still wasn't relieved, so he stepped forward and kicked Li Yan a few more times, and most of the anger in his heart was reduced.
Of course, it is impossible for Cai Jing to really push Li Yan out to quell public anger. Their nine major families are die-hard allies and have the same interests. If Li Yan is abandoned today, who knows whether he will be abandoned by others tomorrow?
After Cai Jingchang took a breath, he said in a deep voice: "Now there is widespread resentment among the people. If this continues, the situation will be completely out of control."
Li Yan suddenly became anxious, got up quickly, and asked anxiously: "Can't we send troops to suppress it?"
"You know about repression. Now even the army is unstable. If we send the army to suppress it by force, even the army may mutiny."
“What should we do?”
Li Yanji's forehead was sweating. He really didn't know that the people who had always been docile and like sheep could be so scary once they became angry.
Times have changed.
The Yellow Turban Uprising set an example for the people all over the world, letting them know that if the government does not give them a way to survive, they can muster the courage to resist.
Now Li Yanzhen's intestines are filled with regret. The great situation has turned into this because of his thought. If he had known that he would cause such a big disaster, he would not have dared to order the forced expulsion of the people.
After Cai Jing pondered for a long time, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "The current Chen State can no longer be stabilized by us. For now, the only way is to invite the Manchus to help us quell the unrest. ”
On the Chen side, due to collusion with foreigners, professing vassalage to the Manchus, and Li Yan's stupid actions, civil dissatisfaction arose, and even the army became unstable.
Cai Jing and others, unable to control the situation, were unable to handle such a situation, so they asked the Manchus, who were foreigners, to help them suppress the rebellion.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty naturally could not see Chen Guo unstable, so they decisively agreed to Cai Jing's request and sent troops to help Cai Jing suppress the rebellion.
The Chen State had a total population of only a few hundred thousand, but under the suppression of the 200,000 Manchu and Qing troops, all popular rebellions and mutinies were eliminated, and all rebellions were quickly suppressed.
Of course, the Chen State also shed a lot of blood. Countless people died in this purge, and people everywhere were in mourning.
On the other side, Wang Mang, who was far away in Sanhan, was trembling with excitement when he learned that the main force of 200,000 Manchus and the Qing Dynasty were marching south to Youzhou.
"Nurhaci, thank you for giving me this opportunity. If I, Wang Mang, don't seize it again, I will really be sorry for your kindness." Wang Mang said to himself with a smile on his face.
"My Lord, Goguryeo and other countries have been frightened by the Manchu Qing. Even if the Manchu Qing only left 50,000 troops in Sanhan, various countries were worried that this was a trap by the Manchu Qing. Most of their troops still stayed in the north to defend against the Manchu Qing. And this just gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
Chen Qingzhi said with excitement. At first, he had no confidence in Wang Mang's plan to embezzle the Three Koreas, but he never thought that now he would actually have a chance to seize the Three Koreas.
"With the current strength of our army, it is far from enough to occupy three Koreas, so we must expand our army again as soon as possible."
Wang Mang's eyes were full of fighting spirit, but then there was a flash of strange color and he said: "In addition, the Japanese pirates in the south must be dealt with as soon as possible."
