Sweep the World

Chapter 510: : The Death of the Little Court (3)

Jiankang has a population of one million people, and most of them migrated north of the Yangtze River during the "Southern Crossing in Clothing", and aristocratic families accounted for the absolute majority.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty continued the system of the Western Jin Dynasty, emphasizing the family and despising the people. Jiankang, the capital of a country, was actually not a place for ordinary people to live in, except for aristocratic families.

Nowadays, a family that can be called an aristocratic family may not have too many direct lines, but the number of side branches will be a very large number, and then there will inevitably be tribes, servants and other descendants, then a family There are thousands of people at least, and it’s hard to have an upper limit if there are too many.

The big clan is similar to the aristocratic family. The difference is prestige and personal connections. Dingkou is not the key to whether or not he can become the aristocratic family.

Over 40% of Jiankang's one million population are related to aristocratic families or big clans, which shows how many people will be mobilized if the families and big clans really want to mobilize.

After the chaos broke out, every capable family tried their best to arm the young and strong, or closed their homes and relying on the courtyard wall to guard themselves, or to do some unspeakable things.

Before Jiankang was the capital of Soochow, it was named Jianye. In addition to Jianye, Chaisang, Shouchun, and Lujiang are regarded as the most prosperous and most populous cities in Dongwu.

To say that there were other developments besides Jianye during the Eastern Wu period, but it was very difficult to do so during the Eastern Jin Dynasty period. The aristocratic families who escaped from the north of the Yangtze River are capable of removing the original southern local families and doing some land-occupying development. To delineate the sphere of influence, of course, the court has no actual control over those areas.

The phenomenon caused by the political situation makes Jiankang an absolutely complicated place. Any wrestling takes place in Jiankang. As long as people with sufficient status will stay in Jiankang for a long time, the ugly thing is once who can form in Jiankang. Absolutely strong control can basically determine the direction of the country that controls the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at least it can paralyze the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Chu Xin's almost tearing questioning was that the matter had really developed to a critical moment.

At this time, someone went over to whisper to Huan Yun, and no one knew what to say except the two.

The atmosphere can only be said to be tense at first, waiting for Chu Xin to question it and adding weirdness. The person in charge of each family as the background wall does not know when it has been divided into three waves.

Knowing the inside story...or the family who conspired with Huan Yun, they brought their guards closer together, with a very serious expression on their faces.

People who are aware of what is going on but are not able to make a decision for a while, they gather as much as possible as far away as possible, and their expressions are obviously cloudy.

It was decided long ago that they would stand in the small court... Maybe it should be said that they resolutely resisted the Han army.

"Rebel!" Chu Xin was only two or three steps away from Huan Yun. He drew out his war sword very suddenly and shouted, "Suffer to death!"

Huan Yun was not shocked by Chu Xin's yelling, so he watched with admiration that Chu Xin only rushed forward one step before being thrown on by the Huan Warrior and fell to the ground.

"My nephew, there has never been a rebel in the world." Huan Yun was talking to Chu Xin, who was cut back by his hands, and also to everyone present: "Since ancient times, only winners and losers have been successful."

In fact, the whisper just now was that there was an abnormal movement in Miyagi. In addition to the original siege guards, some handymen, court ladies, and eunuchs, anyway, were armed with weapons.

It might be nothing just because of Miyagi's change, and there is also the matter of Chu Bao sending manpower to take over the command from the various city gate lieutenants, and the guards in the city also have people holding the imperial life.

Of course the people sent by Chu Bao did not succeed in taking over the command of the city gates. Those who went either died or were arrested. The trouble caused was that the people on the Huan side had to announce that those people had rebelled, and the truth was unknown to each city gate. The Jin army, who was not sure who to listen to, was actually upset.

For Huan Yun, the most troublesome thing is the guards. Chu Pai successfully took over the command of nearly 30,000 guards. The remaining 20,000 are still under the control of Huanyun. The rest are controlled by the Xie family and many families. control.

[Why did the head of the country react so quickly this time? ] Huan Yun was smiling and looking at the principals of the aristocratic family present, and had to worry: [Why hasn't Xie Mingda moved yet! ? 】

Mingda is the name of Xie Ai, he is the commander of the Han army on Jiangdu's side.

Chu Xin yelled without a word, and his mouth was blocked before he had time to say something to those family leaders.

Jiankang has more than one hundred thousand guards and guards, and the command of the Jin army has never been in the hands of the Sima family. The guards and guards who choose to listen to the command are considered to be the family and the family. Chu Bao could control thirty thousand guards, indicating that many families still chose to defend the small court.

"Princes." Huan Yun was speaking to those family leaders who had made a breakthrough: "The head of the country has taken the queen mother and the emperor. What do you think?"

The three thousand armed forces on this side of the North Gate are all Huan's private soldiers, standing in layers with Huanyun as the center. Those families in the same camp as Huan Yun should have four to five hundred people.

The heads of the family who wanted to break through the siege should be one or two hundred people in number. Once they did not compromise, they would either be killed on the spot, or they would fight in blood.

None of the people who were questioned spoke up. They made this choice not because of their loyalty to the Sima family, but simply because Han was too harsh on the family. They chose to resist because they didn’t want to be included under the rule of Han, and they were able to struggle. I don't want to give up.

Someone yelled "Report" with a very long ending. After coming over, they knelt down and reported to Huan Yun: "There is an emergency military situation coming from the west and north. The Han army is making a big move, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, and it is approaching Jiankang!"

There was a sudden sound of metal chattering, and those who had the choice to resist were shocked and dropped their weapons to the ground.

"The head of the country did kidnap the queen mother and your majesty, and Lian Shi is willing to help the chief governor to kill the rebellion."

"..., Zhang is willing to follow the chief governor."

"Huang..."

One after another, the heads of the family spoke, and their background was that there was chaos everywhere in Jiankang City, and some places were blazing into the sky.

Huan Yun looked at the people who hadn't spoken or abandoned their weapons, "haha" laughed a few times, and ordered: "These people are accomplices with the leader of the country. If they resist, they can be killed on the spot."

In a word, those people lost their weapons in exchange, but they didn't change their positions either, they were captured without bloodshed.

Yu Yi was standing on the tower and watching the big show, beside him was the doorman sent by Huan Yun.

A large flares of fire have appeared in the far west. The Jin army and the private army that besieged the city gate did not know who ordered it to divert.

[Unexpectedly... The Huan's did so absolutely! ] Yu Yi was really surprised, and at the same time very dissatisfied with being concealed in his bones, there was some relaxation and fluke in the dissatisfaction: [In this way, if Jiankang really changes hands, the great work will be taken by the Huan family. Although the Yu family may be notorious, but not too heavy? 】

The Huan family’s clerk repeated what he had asked before: "Gong Yu, can you see my master now, right?"

Yu Yi didn't speak immediately. He looked at Jiankang City with fire everywhere, and listened to the noise from a distant place in his ears. After a short while, he said, "Let your master send soldiers into the tower and meet you. It will be avoided."

The doorman of the Huan family "uh" a few times, followed by a respectful salute to leave. But it didn't take long for him to come back to see Yu Yi again, and said: "My paternal master asks Yu to control the city gate, and the Han army will come later."

Yu Yi nodded blankly, even if he responded and agreed. He didn't know how long Huan Yun and Xie Ai planned, and how many people participated in the plan, actually doing such a earth-shattering event. He actually didn't want the Yu family to bear the notoriety. Since the Huan family had such courage, it was of course necessary for the Huan family to ask the Han country for credit. He didn't expect that Huanyun would actually share the credit for the Yu family.

In fact, Yu Yi didn't even know that it was his hesitation that caused the situation to evolve into what it is today.

Xie Ai only knew that the Yu clan was preparing, but the Yu clan was only preparing but not doing anything. The clan and aristocratic families who stood by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were more fully prepared day by day, and the longer things dragged on, the more likely it was to change.

At this time, after Huan Yun communicated with Huan Wen, the Huan clan, as a dare to act, also believed that the situation in the world was irreversible. The Huan clan should compete for the first place. It was Huan Wen’s lead. Xie Ai and Huan Yun conspired. It was a big show that should be combined inside and out. It was brewed.

Jiankang At a time of changing circumstances, Xie Ai was riding a horse and leading his army all the way towards Jiankang. The number of Han troops on their road is only 15,000. They started early from Xinzhou station and hid in a forest less than ten miles away from Jiankang City Gate in Huanyun’s arrangement, and saw Jiankang’s promised smoke column. Just start the action.

The number of the Han army on the other road was 10,000, commanded by Fu Wei. They also concealed in advance in Huanyun's arrangement, and they set off to approach Jiankang only when they saw the agreed smoke column.

In addition to the two concealed Han armies, nearly 50,000 Han armies on the north bank of the Yangtze River were ordered to start north-south. They only mobilized and gathered from Xuzhou and Yuzhou after the plan was determined.

In addition to the Han army that landed at the beginning, the Han army that fought in Dantu was actually a servant army. And this part of the servant army is the one who approached Shouchun last time. They were put in custody after a racial vendetta broke out in the Central Plains. The 200,000 servant army was dealt with nearly 50,000, and all of them were strictly selected by the naturalized Hu.

If there were no accidents, the first batch of Han troops to arrive at Jiankang would be 25,000, and 50,000 follow-up troops would arrive after dawn. Naturally, there will be Han troops coming later, but it is very obvious. The 75,000 Han troops in the early stage want to conquer a huge city with a hundred thousand defenders and a population of one million. No one thinks that they can do it. Then Xie Ai will rely on the families including the Huan family.

When Xie Ai and Fu Wei led the army in a hurry, Huan Yun encountered a problem.

When the Queen Mother Chu Suanzi used all available channels to announce Huan Yun as a rebel and called on all the loyal and righteous people to quell the chaos, this was the first one.

Then, Chu Bao left Miyagi very kindly. He first went to Xie's mansion to meet Xie Bao, who had the same name as himself but was seriously ill. The two talked about something unknown to the outside world. Later, Chu Pa left Xie's mansion and went to receive the guards controlled by the Xie family. A white lantern of mourning was hung in front of the Xie family's door, signaling the death of Xie Pai, the master of the contemporary family.

Xie Lei was seriously ill a long time ago, in fact he is already in a state of dying illness. According to history, he will die at the age of 64 this year. The difference is that it is a few months earlier than the original history.

"Xie's closed door, but the military power fell into Chu Bao's hands?" Huan Yun sneered, and he said to his confidant: "Xie's frequent fainting moves in recent years, this time is the biggest failure. Now..." He didn't say the following words, he expected Xie An must be more difficult to develop in Han than his brother Huan Wen.

Seriously, the Xie family had as many opportunities as the Huan family. Huan Wen was in the Han country, and Xie An was also in the Han country. It can even be said that changing to the Xie family to do things for the Han country would be more convenient than the Huan family. After all, the Huan family is an emerging celebrity, but the Xie celebrity is an old celebrity, and the gap in influence and connections is not small.

[When things came to an end, the Xie family made a decidedly wrong decision, but the Yu family had no boldness, so it's the Huan family's great happiness! ] Huan Yun was very excited, and even the people standing on the shore of the small court had begun to counterattack, and he couldn't affect his happiness. He thought: [The chaos in the city will never be reached when the Han army comes. Now the most important thing is to keep the city gate firmly in your hands! 】

Everywhere in Jiankang City, there were screams of killings. The troops controlled by the Huan faction were fighting with the troops standing on the side of the small court, and even the families of each family didn’t understand how to get involved in the fight. The gangsters and ruffians took advantage of the chaos to do some crimes and looting, not to mention the existence of a group of people led by the Huan clan. Even the official unity of action would not be able to suppress the chaos in a short period of time ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Palace Inside the city, Chu Suanzi embraced the crying little emperor Sima Dan watching some people arguing.

Those who quarrel were invited into Miyagi by Chu Pai. They were all the masters of civil, military and aristocratic families who were confirmed to stand on the side of the small imperial court. The reason they quarreled was whether they broke through.

At present, only two of Jiankang’s city gates are under the control of the small court. The armed forces of the remaining small courts have begun to compete, but the news is very bad. People are fighting everywhere in the city, and the troops are difficult to mobilize. Not to mention, even if the troops drove over, they could not regain control of the city gate.

As the queen mother, Chu Suanzi and the little emperor Sima Tan had no right to speak in their quarrel, they could only watch. For Chu Suanzi, it was a great blessing for the Xie family to surrender the military power to Chu Bao, and it was a great blessing for the Wang family to still stand on the side of the royal family, but the rest were some terrible things.

"Mother..." Sima Tan's tears and nose were full of tears, and his little hand grasped Chu Suanzi's clothes, and said in panic, "Will you go back to the bedroom?"

Chu Suanzi looked at Sima Dan, who didn't understand anything, and then looked at the people who were still arguing. Silence meant continued silence.
