#1371 - Assassination
Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong and others stayed in Daxing City for another four days, and then rode back to Shandong at full speed.
When they came back, they found something wrong.
On the streets, local troops began patrolling in armor.
Before, the local troops were just guarding the city gates, even when the troops were changing guards. But this time, all the local troops were in armor! All of them were dispatched, and teams of ten began patrolling!
Shan Xiongxin and Qin Qiong looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said, "Second Brother Qin, Yingying and I have to go back first. You and the princess take care."
"Go quickly, there's no time to waste."
"Let's go, Yingying."
Shan Xiongxin greeted him.
Shan Yingying said hello to Qin Qiong and Princess Yu, then quickly rode away with Shan Xiongxin.
Princess Yu looked at Qin Qiong with a gloomy look. Even the famous Second Brother Qin couldn't stand this.
He let out a long breath and said, "It was the prince, or Yang Guang, who wanted to wipe out the mountain bandits and implicate... the wealthy families!"
He said it lightly, and it is still a secret for now.
"What a good strategy." After holding it in for a long time, Princess Yu said, "The army should be rotated before the local troops are bribed, so that the order can be executed. The prince has always had a good reputation, and the soldiers below are willing to fight for their lives. I'm afraid that the whole Shandong will not be at peace this time. No! Henan and Hebei are probably surrounded by the army now!"
"We are going to catch them all in one fell swoop." Qin Qiong sighed.
"It's impossible to wipe them out." Princess Yu shook her head. "For hundreds of years, the emperors in the past were taken turns by the rich families, and no family was really wiped out. I guess it's just a test, they won't do it too harshly, otherwise the rich families will be forced into a corner and rebel everywhere, and Yang Guang and the princes will lose more than they gain."
She was wise enough to realize the serious situation ahead.
Of course, when it comes to the issue of the emperor, she is still limited by her lack of advanced historical perspective and the need to differentiate between good and bad. This is her limitation.
"Let's go, Princess. We have to hurry up. I'm afraid Shandong will be in turmoil in the future."
Qin Qiong called out to the brothers who had followed him to give gifts to the dead man Yang Su but failed and had to bring them back as they were, and asked them to speed up and return to Yang Lin.
It is impossible for Yang Lin not to know about such a big thing, and he must have participated in it. At this moment, the whole Shandong is not safe, and only by Yang Lin's side is it safe...
Shan Xiongxin took Shan Yingying back to Erxianzhuang, and while the fighting had not yet broken out, he quickly brought back all the people outside, and either arranged them into the business team or arranged them to the farm he had obtained following Wang Yan's footsteps.
He was learning how the Wang family ran a farm. He did just what the Wang family did, and Wang Yan was willing to help him, so the conditions on the farm he managed were pretty good.
Now that his men have been split up into smaller groups and sent to various locations, they have found places to be deployed.
After he hurriedly made these arrangements, he received news that the local garrison troops had mobilized local soldiers and gathered 500 people to attack a group of bandits entrenched nearby.
Shan Xiongxin even ran to see the scene of a large group of people being escorted back. Only then did he realize that Wang Yan had already estimated the time and was not afraid of him leaking the secret at all. He had just finished his work and had already started.
He was not stupid, and he knew that the situation was definitely not limited to the area where his Erxianzhuang was located, but was on a large scale, and that other places must have also carried out unified actions.
Less than three days later, Shan Xiongxin heard that on the previous night, local troops surrounded a wealthy family surnamed Liu, killed nearly half of their people, and finally captured all the rest alive and put them under custody.
On the fourth day, Shan Xiongxin heard that the local generals had sent people to check the accounts and directly arrested a large number of local officials.
On the fifth day, it was heard that the generals had released all the tenants and serfs, and all the past IOUs were burned. The government officials began to measure the land and distribute it to those who had no land.
So Shan Xiongxin finally realized that Wang Yan did not lie to him. What Wang Yan did was truly to protect the country and the people. He was still the same as before. Even though he is now the commander-in-chief of the world's army, he still has not forgotten his humble origins and has not forgotten the poor and humble people he was.
Although Shan Xiongxin looked down on those poor people, because he was a strong man, he thought those people cried because they were weak.
But what Wang Yan did told him that not allowing others to bully the weak is what a strong person should do.
He also knew that things had gotten out of hand, and even with all his wisdom and insight, he couldn't imagine how this matter would end...
Things really got out of hand, and just as Princess Yu said, Shandong, Hebei, and Henan all took action at the same time. The Bingzhou frontier troops, who were about to return to Beijing to change their defenses and were already approaching Daxing, did not enter Daxing and marched quickly to Guandong (east of Hangu Pass).
At the same time, the three naval divisions withdrew and gathered in the area north of the Yangtze River to guard the entire line.
The southern troops gathered, recruited soldiers, and stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, with the intention of crossing the river to the north. The border troops in Youzhou that were guarding against Goguryeo also withdrew, ignoring Goguryeo's provocations and taking a defensive stance, as if they were ready to hold off Goguryeo with a portion of their forces at any time, while sending troops south.
In Daxing City, the troops stationed in the capital were also assembled, and additional troops were deployed at various city gates. At the same time, intensive patrols began in the city...
It was also at this time that various information from other places was finally reported to Daxing, and the court officials finally began to take action.
They showed unparalleled unity at this time. They really felt the crisis and it was really a matter of life and death. They were so scared by Yang Guang that they didn't even dare to go to court.
"Zi Yan, I can't tell on normal days, but now I see that the whole court is full of traitors..."
Yang Guang was still terrified when he thought of the scene when he was in court. He could feel that those people were really angry. He didn't even dare to make a decision and kill someone on the spot to show his authority.
In the past, beheading people worked well, but now the whole court is full of death warriors, and they are not afraid of death. After all, the families behind them and the interest groups they represent are gone, so they are no different from being dead.
"It can't be passed on now!"
"As long as the soldiers still obey your majesty's orders, there will be no problem. Your majesty, be careful these days and pay attention to what you eat and drink. As long as your majesty can withstand the pressure, even if you only do half of it, you will kill a group of people, and your majesty's majesty will be even greater. If your majesty can't withstand it and fails, then I'm afraid everything will be over, and I'm afraid I can't save my head."
Yang Guang stared at Wang Yan, his eyes flashing with thought. After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "Keep doing it! I want to see what other tricks they have. Also, send more people to the imperial city and keep a close eye on them to prevent anyone from plotting something bad."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Yan responded and went out to make various arrangements. Yang Guang was really scared and extremely insecure, so it was only right to strengthen the garrison.
In the following days, Yang Guang did not attend court or discuss politics, but stayed in the harem. He ordered Jiangnan to select a large number of beautiful girls and send them to the palace. He was quite busy before and had no time to favor them. Recently, he has more time and is very happy every day.
However, the government affairs were not neglected. Yu Wenzhi was appointed prime minister, and except for a few places that were in turmoil, other areas were still relatively good.
But there wasn't much left, and there weren't many places left, such as the grasslands, the northwest, Guanlong, and Jiangnan, where the situation was far less complicated. What was causing the commotion was the proper densely populated Central Plains, the proper Chinese orthodoxy.
Guanlong and Jiangnan had already taken sides and supported Yang Guang. The Turks on the grasslands were all honestly grazing and producing, while the northwest was a war zone, with military and political integration, and this was Wang Yan's job.
So it's no big deal.
Wang Yan's plan was to use this opportunity to take all those people away at once. But plans are just plans, and the actual results will definitely be different. This can be understood by just looking at Yang Guang's current attitude.
However, Wang Yan was not in a hurry. He wanted to see how powerful the untouched clans in the Central Plains were.
He was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, processing all kinds of information sent back, making various arrangements and deployments, and even inspecting the garrison every now and then to further ensure the stability of the army.
At this time, everything can be in chaos, except the army...
The wealthy families in the Central Plains were indeed quite capable. In just one month, large-scale rebels had appeared in various places. These news were received every day. Even if Wang Yan did not report to Yang Guang, the court officials received the news from various channels and sent it to Yang Guang, so that Yang Guang could see the good things he had done.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Of course Yang Guang read it, and after reading it, the great emperor who was determined to be the greatest emperor in history was quite flustered. He also urgently summoned Wang Yan to the palace and asked Wang Yan how he was doing and whether he could hold on.
Of course Wang Yan gave an affirmative answer. He had prepared for this a long time ago. Moreover, he was in the regular army and had sufficient weapons. Although the wealthy families had weapons, their reserves were not as high as his.
There is no need for any military tactics. Those with armor fight against those without armor, it's just a massacre.
In terms of manpower, the first thing that was done in various places was to distribute land, which built up a mass base. The big families in various places controlled most of the local land, and now that the court was going to distribute land to everyone, of course there were supporters.
Those who are pulled up by big investors are actually being coerced and are unwilling to risk their lives.
But there are indeed some difficult things to deal with, such as the big families in different places uniting and combining their forces. With more troops, it will be difficult to deal with.
This was a catastrophe initiated by Wang Yan, which caused great damage to the production and life of the Central Plains. However, Wang Yan believed that this was necessary, and that they would be killed and destroyed sooner or later.
It is difficult for the common people to unite. But the wealthy and powerful have always united. The interests of the vested interests cannot be destroyed. If they are destroyed, they will risk their lives and shed blood.
Many reforms cannot be implemented because of the great turmoil and internal and external difficulties.
Many reforms were not implemented because the force was not strong enough and there was no preparation to break down and rebuild.
When faced with an enemy counterattack, one loses control, becomes doubtful, and becomes unsteady.
Wang Yan is very determined, he has always been determined.
Things still hadn't calmed down, the situation was getting more serious day by day, and many of the big families had been killed or removed from the list. After such a period of time, it seemed that people were finally ready, and finally a counterattack was seen in Daxing City.
On this day, after dealing with various affairs, Wang Yan took his troops on horseback to inspect the military camp outside the city.
On the way out of the city, there was a wide street with multi-story buildings on both sides. On this street, Wang Yan alertly reined in the warhorse that was trotting happily. The horse raised its front hooves high and neighed.
The next moment, a thick crossbow arrow brushed past the pillar of a shop facing the street, leaving a large hole and sending wood chips flying.
"Heavy crossbow!"
"Guards!"
The soldiers behind Wang Yan shouted and drew their weapons.
The next moment, more crossbow arrows shot over, and densely packed people wearing armor rushed out of the shop and headed straight towards Wang Yan.
At this time, Wang Yan also drew the Han sword from his waist, and while deflecting the dense arrows that were shot at him, he jumped off the warhorse. The warhorse was already dead, having been pierced like a hedgehog.
Wang Yan did not feel sorry for his warhorse, and rushed towards the oncoming enemy with sword in hand.
These people were fully armed, wearing armor and carrying both long and short weapons. Each of them had red eyes and was shouting to kill. They were all prepared to die and came just to kill Wang Yan.
A rough count shows that there are probably more than a hundred people.
Even Wang Yan had to say that the rich people were really awesome.
But no matter how powerful he was, it did not stop him from attacking the flock of sheep and killing everyone.
Because of the armor, many key parts are protected, so ordinary attacks are useless, only precise attacks are possible.
Wang Yan thrust his sword into the eyes of a heavily armored soldier who was approaching, and then snatched the rifle from the heavily armored soldier's hand.
The sword is too short, so it's still not an advantage. The lance is just right, long, sharp, blunt, and heavy.
When wielded in Wang Yan's hand, it was as agile as a sword.
Wang Yan really killed without restraint, it didn't matter whether the people were alive or dead. He could check all the relevant places, from the shops nearby, to the guards at the city gates, to the armory in the capital, to the patrol soldiers, all of them could be found with problems.
They didn't intend to hide it. As long as Wang Yan was killed, these things wouldn't be a problem. If Wang Yan couldn't be killed, no matter how well they hid, there would still be traces. There was no need to make those useless arrangements.
So when the nearby soldiers rushed over, what they saw was Wang Yan standing there covered in blood, holding a lance, and looking murderous.
Around Wang Yan was a pile of corpses, broken limbs, wailing people, and blood all over the ground. Some people were standing around trembling in fear, no longer having the courage to take action.
Those who were still able to move, seeing someone coming, looked at each other, and without any extra words, they all slashed their own throats.
So Wang Yan was the only one left in the field...
I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
