Volume 10 Chapter 496
Chapter 496
Under Cheng Jin's instruction, a simple assassination case turned into a massacre that affected the entire Modi in a very short time. TXT download. -During this period, a large number of Mo people were killed innocently, and more Mo people were imprisoned and tortured.
So far, even in broad daylight, there were few pedestrians on the streets of the counties and towns in Modi. The people were too scared to go out, and the shops and vendors were too scared to open. The whole Modi was in a state of depression, which was in sharp contrast to the bustling and prosperous years.
Cheng Jin started the matter, but he had no ability to end it. The county governments in various places now wanted to please Tang Yin instead of the hidden arrows. In the minds of the county heads, whoever killed more "rebels" was undoubtedly the most loyal to the king.
The situation became more and more serious, and in the end, it had developed into an uncontrollable situation. The people of Modi complained, and their resistance to Fengguo not only did not weaken, but became stronger. They just didn't dare to speak out easily.
It was not until the situation deteriorated to the point where it was out of control that it was reported to Guan Yuanji. The latter was furious when he heard about it, and wrote a letter to Tang Yin and Cheng Jin respectively.
The letter to Cheng Jin was not much, but full of reprimands, and he almost scolded and reprimanded directly. The letter to Tang Yin was much more straightforward. He pointed out that the dark arrows were inappropriate and crossed the line. Local governance was originally his responsibility as the right prime minister. Now the dark arrows crossed the line and interfered, making the counties of Modi a mess, with countless deaths and injuries, and the people were living in misery. It was really an unforgivable crime.
Guan Yuanji has always been smooth and versatile. It can be seen that he was really angry to write such a sharp letter.
After receiving Guan Yuanji's letter, Cheng Jin wrote a reply immediately, and his words were very polite. He admitted that he was indeed at fault. At that time, he only wanted to suppress the resistance of the Mo people. He did not expect that things would backfire and become the current situation.
Then, Tang Yin also wrote a reply, but he did not blame Anjian in the reply. Instead, he persuaded Guan Yuanji that Anjian's original intention was good, but the means of doing things were wrong, and asked Guan Yuanji to be more considerate. At the end of the letter, Tang Yin ordered Guan Yuanji to calm down the chaotic situation in Modi immediately, and let Guan Yuanji decide what kind of means were suitable.
Now Tang Yin has returned to Yancheng, and Guan Yuanji is still in Zhenjiang, just in time to deal with the matter nearby.
The method used by Guan Yuanji is a major change of blood, and the positions of the county chiefs of seven counties have been removed in succession to calm the hatred and anger of the people in Modi. In addition, he ordered that the investigation of the rebels should be stopped here, and no more complications should be made. If there are disobedient orders, they will be punished according to the wartime disobedience.
Disobeying orders during wartime is a capital crime. Guan Yuanji issued a death order, warning officials from all regions that if they dared to kill innocent people in the name of investigating traitors, they would be executed.
With the promulgation of Guan Yuanji's decree, the out-of-control situation in various places began to gradually stabilize, and the people of Modi finally got a chance to breathe and no longer had to live in fear all day.
However, since the incident, more than 100,000 people in Modi have been implicated, persecuted, died or seriously injured. Such a blood debt is unforgettable. If you want to eliminate the knot in the hearts of the people of Modi, it is far from enough to just remove a few county heads.
After careful consideration, Guan Yuanji could only find a group of scapegoats. Although the culprit was a hidden arrow, Guan Yuanji had no right to punish the hidden arrow. He could only take the local administrative officials as the first.
The first to bear the brunt were the county heads of each county, followed by the county heads and city lords, who were strictly investigated and questioned one level at a time. Under the high pressure of Guan Yuanji, many county heads, county heads and city lords were either confiscated or forced to commit suicide.
It was not until this time that the situation in Modi was completely stabilized. The people of Modi did not necessarily reduce their hatred for Fengguo, but praised Guan Yuanji, believing that he was the only good official in the Fengguo court who was willing to care about the people of Mo.
The noisy investigation of the rebellion finally came to an end, and Modi returned to its former tranquility. However, the series of tragedies that occurred during this period made all the people of Mo remember them for a long time.
Let's talk about Tang Yin, who returned to Yancheng, the capital of Fengguo, in glory. His high prestige in Fengguo has long been unquestionable. This time, he successfully annexed Moguo, and his prestige reached its peak.
Tang Yin's return to the capital was welcomed by the people of the capital, and the whole Yancheng was boiling with excitement. Seeing countless people going crazy, cheering and shouting for him, this moment was the time when Tang Yin enjoyed the most.
When he returned to Yancheng, the first thing he did was to go to the palace to meet the emperor and ask the emperor to order the abolition of the New Mo Kingdom, the removal of Shao Jun from the throne, and the incorporation of the New Mo Kingdom into the Feng Kingdom.
Now that the Feng Kingdom has annexed the Mo Kingdom, the New Mo Kingdom has lost its meaning of existence. Tang Yin was too lazy to even pretend and directly took the five counties of Mobei for himself.
The emperor Yin Zhun was afraid of Tang Yin like a tiger or a leopard, so he dared not say a word in front of him. Tang Yin's advice was immediately approved by Yin Zhun. The New Mo Kingdom, which had been established for more than a year, was naturally incorporated into the Feng Kingdom after the Mo Kingdom was destroyed.
As for the New Mo King Shao Jun who obeyed Tang Yin's words, Tang Yin was still very tolerant. He made him the Marquis of Leping and lived in Yancheng. His daily expenses were all provided by the Feng Kingdom court.
At this point, Feng Kingdom finally completed its great cause of dominating the north after a series of battles. The current Feng Kingdom, in addition to the Feng Land, also sits on the Ning Land and the Mo Land. In addition to the Jade Kingdom, the north is all the territory of the Feng Kingdom. There are more than fifty counties in the country. At this time, both in terms of national and military strength , Feng Country has become a veritable powerful country.
The Feng Kingdom grew so fast that it was staggering. At the same time, the Sichuan Kingdom was also expanding intensively. After the Mo Kingdom was destroyed, all the Zhen land originally occupied by the Mo Kingdom was taken over by the Sichuan Kingdom. An and Huan The Zhen land occupied by the two kingdoms was also under the control of the Chuan Kingdom. In fact, the Chuan Kingdom had gained control of the entire Zhen Kingdom.
The Feng Kingdom is in the north and dominates the north, and the Chuan Kingdom is in the south and dominates the south. Between the two countries, there are Anguo and Huanguo.
At this time, the two countries of An and Huan became very important. It was precisely because of the existence of these two countries that Feng and Sichuan were not in contact with each other. The two countries were like a buffer zone that blocked direct confrontation between Feng and Sichuan.
If the two kings of An and Huan were smart enough, they should be aware of the dangerous proximity. They are caught between the two powerful countries, and their life and death are tied by a thread. They should form a close alliance, please the north and the south, and maintain neutrality is the way to stay.
But it happened that at this time, serious differences and conflicts occurred between the Anhuan and Huan kingdoms.
The reason was precisely the foreshadowing that Tang Yin had laid before.
When carving up Mo Di, Tang Yinqi left King Huan Li Xin and gave all of Mo Di's Chizhou and Gurao counties to Anguo. Anguo was naturally filled with joy and the whole country celebrated together, but King Huan Lixin became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
How come the two countries that sent troops to fight together at the beginning can get the benefits of two counties, but he doesn't even get a hair? It is simply unreasonable. He sent envoys to Anguo to ask for the land of a county from Anguo Yueze.
What Yue Ze said in front of Tang Yin was very nice. He was temporarily taking over two counties. After returning to the country, he must give up one county to Huan Guo. Now that Huan's envoys came to ask for it, Yue Ze couldn't bear to give it anymore.
Chizhou and Gurao are both large counties. They are located close to the central area. The three major industries of industry, agriculture and commerce are very developed and prosperous. More importantly, the transportation of the two counties is convenient. After being adopted as their own, they can become the commercial and trade centers of the country. It can greatly improve Anguo's national strength.
Yue Ze is not a generous person. When the good things are not in his hands, he can say how to divide or give them. Now that the things are in his hands, he wants him to take them out and give them to him. To others, it is undoubtedly sucking their blood and twitching their tendons.
After meeting the envoy of Huan Guo, Yue Zedong kept talking and kept saying that he had missed Li Wangdi very much since we parted ways in Zhenjiang, etc., but he treated it as a separate matter and did not mention a word.
He could bear it, but Huan's envoy couldn't bear it anymore. He asked for any county in Chizhou or Gurao in person.
Based on the friendship between Yue Ze and Li Xin, they had already spoken and he should give it, but Yue Ze was really reluctant to part with it. Just when he felt in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer, Feng Chang Jiang Yi of Anguo stood up and said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang made it clear at the beginning that the two counties of Chizhou and Gurao belong to our Anguo. Now your country comes to ask for it. This is so unreasonable!"
Feng Chang's responsibilities were similar to Zong Zheng's, and he did not have much real power, but he was quite respected. Jiang Yi was an old minister of Anguo and was highly respected in the court. What's more, his words were in line with the interests of Anguo, so he was approved by many ministers.
People expressed their highness one after another that what Jiang Yi said was good. Although Yue Ze did not express his position, he also showed admiration on his face.
Seeing that the king and most of the ministers agreed with his statement, Jiang Yi became more confident and said sternly: "If your country wants to claim territory, it should go to His Highness King Feng. Come to Anguo and find my king. It really makes no sense. ”
The envoy of Huan State was furious when he heard this and went to King Feng to ask for it? Now that the king had fallen out with King Feng in public, how could King Feng cede land to Huan?
The envoy took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said: "Huan'an and Huan are allies, and the two countries sent troops to Mo together. Now Anguo has only two counties, but we, Huanguo, have not gained an inch of land. This is too unreasonable!"
"Whether it makes sense or not, it has nothing to do with Anguo. The two counties of Chizhou and Gurao are divided into Anguo. It was King Feng's idea. If your country thinks it is unfair, you should naturally go to His Highness King Feng to reason with you, not me. An Guo asked for it." Jiang Yi spoke with sarcasm.
