"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 538
"The prince kills the king and usurps the throne, and the whole world will discuss it!"
After receiving the advice of his staff, the fourth prince did not hesitate to raise the banner of rebellion in Pingyang Province.
"Resolutely support the Fourth Highness, crusade against rebellion, and avenge His Majesty!"
The Governor of Pingyang Province was also the first to express his support for the Fourth Prince, and became a loyal supporter of the Fourth Prince.
After all, the governor of Pingyang Province came from the military family, and the prince wanted to liquidate the military family, so they were forced to stand on the side of the fourth prince and fight against the prince.
"The Fifth Corps of the People's Army is willing to obey the order of His Highness the Fourth Highness and fight against the rebels!"
"The Eleventh Corps of the People's Army is willing to serve as the vanguard of the Fourth Highness to conquer the rebellion!"
"The eastern provinces are willing to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Fourth!"
"The Wu family in Daling Province is willing to obey the orders of His Highness the Fourth Highness."
The four princes preached to the world, and a large number of military and military families whose interests were harmed by the prince quickly stood up to support them.
In a short period of time, eight provinces in the north and east, fifteen militia troops and more than one hundred military families became the supporters of the fourth prince.
In addition to supporting the fourth prince because their interests were damaged by the prince, these people also have some ambitious people who want to gain benefits in the new round of full reshuffle.
Many of them didn't have time to choose sides because they were not in the capital during the chaos in the capital.
Now the prince has gathered a group of civil servants and military generals such as Hu Ziyang, Liang Bin, Yan Jing, etc., together with the original prince's team, a solid team has been built.
If they go to seek refuge with the prince now, it will be just icing on the cake and will not be taken seriously.
But now the fourth prince is in a state of desperation, and they choose to support the fourth prince at this time, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.
As long as they assisted the fourth prince in seizing the throne, they would be heroes, so many people were willing to give it a go, betting on the future of themselves and the families behind them.
The fourth prince is a prince with good prestige anyway, and his performance is also remarkable, so he quickly won a large number of supporters.
?Because the troops of the imperial guards approached the province of Pingyang, although the major families and the militia troops supported the fourth prince, they could not quench their thirst far away.
Therefore, while receiving support from all over the world, the fourth prince also moved to the northerly Yunzhong Province, ordering and calling on all walks of life to gather in the Yunzhong Province.
"Fourth Highness, after preliminary statistics, there are 15 militia units that have supported us, with a total strength of more than 500,000 people. They are distributed in eight provinces in the north and east, and they are rushing to listen make."
Although the fourth prince failed in the seizure of power in the capital, he has the support of the military family. Now, in a short period of time, he has 500,000 troops. It can be said that he can finally take a breather.
"Food, grass, armaments, and military pay must be properly prepared. Tell the major military families that as long as the rebellion is successful, I will definitely reward you for your merits."
The fourth prince is now poor and poor, and he can rely on the military family, so now he can only draw big cakes.
Fortunately, these military families also know that it doesn't matter if they don't get any benefits for the time being by hanging out with the fourth prince.
The military and military family suffered from the prince's suppression and lived like walking on thin ice. Now they can finally feel proud and take revenge on the prince's family.
The various units of the civilian army are also formed under the leadership of wealthy families from all over the country, and their strength is not weak.
? At the beginning, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen suggested to the prince that the formation of the civilian army was mainly to suppress the rebels, and let them consume each other to consume the power of the aristocratic family.
However, the purpose of killing and wasting the civilian army and the rebel army has not been achieved, and instead they have become supporters of the fourth prince.
Because these aristocratic families are not as good as military families, they are only stronger in the provinces, and they are nothing in the Far East Dynasty.
Now that they have the opportunity to embrace their thighs and let their families rise, the rich and powerful families in various provinces will naturally not miss the opportunity, and they began to choose sides one after another.
"Although we have won the support of eight provinces and nearly 500,000 militia troops, it can only be said that we have won a temporary respite and are not sure of victory."
The fourth prince's staff team was also carefully selected by him. At this time, he did not lose his composure.
"Fourth Highness, we must win over the Northern Army as soon as possible." Some staff suggested.
The Northern Army is stationed far awayA frontier army on the northern border of the dynasty, with more than 400,000 soldiers, responsible for the defense of the three provinces on the northern border.
This army has been fighting the wolf cavalry of the enemy country in the north all year round, and has extremely strong combat effectiveness.
If this army fell to the prince's side, their 500,000 militia army would not be an opponent at all.
Moreover, they will be attacked by the Northern Army and the Prince's Guards on both sides, and they will have no chance of winning at that time.
"Send someone to the northern army camp quickly, no, I will go in person."
The Fourth Prince also knew the importance of the Northern Army. After thinking about it, he decided to go there himself.
"Fourth Highness, the attitude of the Northern Army is unclear now, you can't put yourself in danger."
Hearing that the Fourth Prince was going to the Northern Army to win them over in person, the staff also felt that the risk was too great.
"It's okay, I have shown enough sincerity by going there in person, and I believe they will make a wise choice." The fourth prince waved his hand.
"If anything happens to me, you must assist my son in fighting rebellion."
Although the fourth prince is young, he now has an infant son, so he can be regarded as a successor.
"Your Highness, think twice before acting."
"Don't talk about this matter again, it's not too late, you all prepare, and I will go to the northern army camp in Daling Province."
Seeing that the fourth prince had made up his mind, the staff couldn't persuade him, so they could only secretly pray that the fourth prince would have a smooth journey.
When the fourth prince, escorted by a team of cavalry, rushed to the northern border day and night, where the northern army camp in Daling province was stationed, the prince's special envoy also rushed to the northern army at the same time.
The prince also knows the importance of the northern army, but he and the fourth prince have different identities now, so naturally he has no way to go there in person, so he can only send a special envoy.
When the prince and the fourth prince wanted to recruit the northern army at the same time, they did not forget the rest of the border troops.
Both sides unanimously sent their cronies to the Southern Army, Zhendong Army and Zhenxi Army respectively, trying to win over each other to support themselves.
The fourth prince and the crown prince were busy fighting for power and profit, and various forces within the Far Eastern Dynasty were also choosing sides one after another, and they were extremely busy.
As a result of the battle between the fourth prince and the crown prince, the rebel troops everywhere finally ushered in a rare respite.
?Because the imperial court ordered the establishment of the civilian army, the rebels from all walks of life were chased and intercepted, and suffered heavy casualties.
?In just a few months, the small rebel army was wiped out countless times, and the large rebel army also lost their cities and lands. The scale shrank sharply, and they were in constant panic.
Now that the fourth prince and the prince are fighting, the militia troops and provincial governors have no time to manage the rebels, so the defeated rebels can finally take a breather. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
