"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 760
The 410th year of the Dynasty Calendar was a turbulent year. Compared with the vigorous uprisings that broke out in various provinces in the previous year, the situation worsened.
The rebel army in more than 20 provinces has not been extinguished, and the death of the old emperor has caused a struggle for imperial power.
The fourth prince and the crown prince had a big fight, and the major families and frontier troops chose sides one after another, further aggravating the tense situation.
In the absence of a way to suppress the fourth prince as soon as possible, the prince formally ascended the throne as the prince after finishing the funeral for the old emperor.
In May, the crown prince hastily ascended the throne as the new emperor in the capital of the Far Eastern Dynasty, but at this moment, there are only a dozen provinces that the court can control, and there are still rebels all over the place.
Although the crown prince has become the new emperor, the authority of the court has been declining day by day over the years, and the fourth prince refuses to recognize the new emperor.
Only one month later, the four princes also proclaimed themselves emperors in Pingyang province, saying that for a while there was a rivalry between the two emperors in the Far East Dynasty.
The two emperors fought endlessly with each other, and all the frontier troops and militia troops also joined the camps of both sides one after another.
They fought and killed in the hinterland of the Far Eastern Dynasty, so that the lives of several provinces in the middle were devastated, and ten rooms were empty.
The two emperors were enthroned as emperors respectively. In order to further improve their own strength and eliminate each other, they also carried out a large-scale wooing of various forces.
Chen Ziang was only the commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army at the beginning, but he took advantage of the opportunity of various forces fighting openly and secretly, and quickly rose and grew stronger in the cracks.
Now Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army has controlled most of the Jiangbei Province and the rich land of the Jiangnan Province, and has become the overlord.
When the crown prince and the fourth prince became emperors, the bandit army in their eyes seemed to have become a colossus.
When Chen Ziang and the others were weak, the prince and the fourth prince didn't take Chen Ziang seriously because they were not on the same level.
However, with the growth of the Second Army of Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army, the two new emperors had to re-examine this overlord.
After all, Chen Ziang controls the Jiangbei Province, and also occupies the Jiangnan Province where the grain-producing area is located.
The Wangdu side hated Chen Ziang's rebel army against the imperial court, and wished they could get rid of them as soon as possible.
But now that the crown prince has newly enthroned as emperor, the Zhenxi Army and Imperial Guards under his command have undergone a series of expansions, but they still cannot defeat the Northern Army supporting the Fourth Prince on the battlefield.
Therefore, the new emperor had no choice but to abandon the past, and decided to win over Chen Ziang, a newly rising force, to become his own help.
Although the new emperor still hated Chen Ziang and his rebels from the bottom of his heart, but now that they lack strength and urgently need foreign aid, they can only temporarily put their hatred deep in their hearts.
The new emperor Longjun is no longer the passionate young man who shouted and killed at every turn. He has now become the emperor in charge of the dynasty.
After going through a series of open and secret struggles, he succeeded in ascending the throne. In addition to becoming ruthless, he also knows how to bow his head and forbear at the right time.
? Although Chen Ziang once made the imperial court lose face and occupied Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces.
But now, in order to deal with the fourth prince who is also called emperor, he needs someone like Chen Ziang to charge forward.
For his own benefit, he can abandon the past and let go of the past.
Therefore, only half a month after ascending the throne, the new emperor Longjun secretly dispatched imperial envoys to Jiangnan Province, and began to contact Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang is currently supervising the war against the southern army in Fenglin Town, Jiangnan Province, and he was quite surprised when he heard that the new emperor Longjun had sent imperial envoys to win him over.
"How many people are there in the imperial envoy?"
"Where are they now?"
After Chen Ziang received the report, he also asked about the relevant situation after being surprised.
"General, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has now arrived at the capital of Jiangnan Province. There are more than 30 people in his party, and they have brought important gifts." The staff replied respectfully.
Chen Ziang asked again: "How many people know about this matter?"
"The imperial envoys of the imperial court came here in secret disguised as caravans. They only reported their identities when they arrived at the capital of Jiangnan province. Now only Mr. Song, chief executive officer of Jiangnan province, and Mr. Yue, director of public security, know about it."
"Have you checked their identities?"Now someone suddenly stood up and said that the imperial court's imperial envoy had arrived. After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziang also calmed down.
"The imperial envoy is Sun Dong, the left servant of the court's Ministry of Rites. Mr. Song and the others have confirmed with Liu Shuo from the Intelligence Department of the Public Security Department. It is not a fake."
"really interesting."
After some inquiries, Chen Ziang confirmed that this team of imperial envoys should be sent by the imperial court.
Thinking of the current situation facing the Far Eastern Dynasty, Chen Ziang also guessed a lot about the purpose of the imperial envoy and his party.
In the past, when Chen Ziang and the others were weak, the imperial court did everything possible to dispatch troops to exterminate them.
Now seeing that Chen Ziang and the others are growing stronger, when there is no way to destroy them, they start to win over.
It can be said that there is no eternal enmity between the country and various forces, only eternal interests.
It's just that the court wanted to kill Chen Ziang and the others at the beginning, but now they want to win them over. The huge changes made Chen Ziang unable to adapt for a while.
After all, it is like an enemy who was still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield just now, and it is really impossible for ordinary people to shake hands and make peace at the next moment.
It's just that now that the court has thrown out such an olive branch, it is actually an opportunity for Chen Ziang and the others.
As long as they operate well, maybe they can really get some related benefits, and even if they don't do well, they can buy some time.
"Mr. Song and Mr. Yue jointly asked the general for instructions on how to deal with the imperial envoy." Seeing Chen Zi'ang bowing his head in thought and not speaking, the staff asked in a low voice.
"What's their attitude towards imperial envoys?" Chen Ziang raised his head and asked.
"Minister Song, Chief of Political Affairs, feels that since the imperial court has thrown out an olive branch, even if it does not agree, it must be used well."
"Master Yue feels that we are at odds with the imperial court, and he wants to kill the imperial envoys to pay homage to those brothers who have died."
Hearing the different views of the Chief of Political Affairs Song Zhi and the Chief of Public Security Yue Shan on imperial envoys, Chen Ziang also showed a wry smile. This is the difference between a politician and a soldier.
Politicians always consider interests, while soldiers are much straighter and always passionate.
"General, do you want to meet the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court?" the aide asked for instructions.
"Do you think I should see you?" Chen Ziang asked back.
"The lower officials dare not speak nonsense, and follow the general's orders in everything."
Seeing Chen Ziang staring straight at him, the aides bowed their heads hastily. He knew that as a subordinate official, he shouldn't have said such a thing.
"Let them stay in the capital of Jiangnan Province first, and let Song Zhi test their tone."
Chen Ziang didn't bother with his staff about these matters, and decided to let Song Zhi, the chief minister of state affairs, contact him first.
"No."
At this moment, the staff did not dare to say much, so they complied and prepared to convey Chen Zi'ang's order to Song Zhi, Chief of Administration of Jiangnan Province.
"By the way, the re-counting and registering of the population and household registration of Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province should be completed as soon as possible, and road guidance should be strictly managed."
Seeing that the staff member was about to turn around and go out, Chen Zi'ang stopped him again and gave him one more word of advice.
This time, the imperial envoys of the imperial court were able to secretly arrive at the capital of Jiangnan province, indicating that there were loopholes in their Qinghe army's control and management of the region.
Now that the problem is found, let's solve it. Chen Ziang didn't hold anyone accountable, he just needs to make up for it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
