Li Hongji's behavior seems crazy, but he is very sober, unexpectedly sober.
Ever since Lin Renzhao and Zhang Xiong defeated the imperial dynasty, and Gao Bi and Zheng Yanhua regained the periphery of Jiangnan West Road, Li Hongji already knew that the situation was over.
Jiangdong fell, and Jiangxi was unable to fight back. What kind of person is his father and brother? He, as a son, still doesn’t know?
Li Hongji is ready to take on everything.
Li Hongji had many flaws in his character, he was very suspicious and irritable, but he was one of the few people in the Jiangnan royal family who dared to take on the responsibility.
Whether it is Li Jing, Li Congjia, or the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui, they all have cowardice in their characters that they dare not take responsibility for.
Li Hongji is different. No matter how capable he is, at critical moments, he dares to stand up and take action, and is unwilling to survive as a weakling.
This time Li Hongji took the initiative to attack the Central Plains and made desperate preparations. If he wins, Li Hongji will be Li Shimin of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he loses, he, the prince who oversees the country, will bear everything.
Li Hongji never thought of shirk responsibility.
But he took the initiative to take on everything, completely shirked the blame with Li Jing, threw all responsibilities to him, and staged this ridiculous and dramatic scene, which was completely different.
As the eldest son who was not favored by his father, Li Hongji's biggest thought was to prove that he was better than his uncle Li Jingsui and better than his younger brother Li Congjia...
Li Hongji finally failed. Li Jing's indifference and ruthlessness completely crushed Li Hongji.
Li Hongji originally had a death wish. He looked at the temple and received the Jiangnan salary, but he only thought about the rats of the new dynasty in the Central Plains. He thought about the days when he was supervising the country. For their own interests, they
After creating a stumbling block for myself, I felt that it would be such a joy to take them on the road.
Then there was the fire at Huiyue Tower.
Chen Qiao watched in despair as Huiyue Tower was surrounded by fire. Hearing the howls on the tall building and the wanton smile, his eyes went from absentmindedness to determination...
He turned around, looked for the direction of his home, kowtowed to the ground three times, and said, "Pei'er, I leave everything to you at home. Tell your grandmother that the child is unfilial..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already rushing into the sea of fire.
The incident happened suddenly, and before Chen Pei could react, he saw his father's body wrapped in flames.
Different from Han Xizai.
Han Xizai had a bumpy official career due to personality problems. Although he was a top figure in the Jiangnan literary world, he was often marginalized and could not be reused.
When Chen Qiao was in charge of Li C, the great lord of Tang Dynasty, he paid homage to Zhongshushe, and Li Jing trusted him very much. Li Hongji even regarded him as Kong Ming, and followed him in everything he did.
Thanks to the favor of three generations, Chen Qiao has already decided to live or die with Jiangnan.
Nowadays, Li Hongji has burned many people who are wolf-hearted and dog-eating, and he is very happy. However, the Jiangnan court has been destroyed for decades. But as the last king, under Jiuquan, how can he be surrounded by a bunch of young people and have no loyal ministers?
accompany?
Li Hongji may not be a good leader in the eyes of the world, but in Chen Qiao's heart he is a promising leader.
Li Hongji buried the Southern Tang Dynasty in a fire.
With the collapse of Huiyue Tower, the Southern Tang Dynasty was officially declared destroyed.
Li Hongji burned 70% of the officials in the Jinling Temple. In addition to a few high-ranking officials, there were also some senior and mediocre people. The rest were not retained, which directly caused the entire institution to be unable to operate.
Li Hongji left a suicide note, so he took on all responsibilities and let Chen Qiao be responsible for the final surrender.
But Chen Qiao went with him before he received the suicide note, leaving no one to deal with the aftermath.
In the end, Han Xizai stood up, stabilized the situation, and collected the bodies of Li Hongji and Chen Qiao.
Chen Qiao's body was on the first floor, the worst burned, but the easiest to identify.
It's not easy for Li Hongji. He only received some stumps and broken arms because of his waist card.
After handling the matter, Han Xizai sent someone to ask Zhao Kuangzan and Shu Yuan to surrender.
With the death of Li Hongji, news of the fall of Jinling spread to Nanchang Mansion.
The Nanchang Mansion was completely silent, and Li Jing was completely unable to take charge.
The right to speak in Nanchang Mansion also fell on Li Congjia.
The result is self-evident. Li Congjia learned that his eldest brother had set himself on fire and died.
With a benevolent, filial and generous nature, he couldn't help weeping for him, and then gave up all resistance and ordered Xiu Shu to contact Cao Bin and let him take over the Nanchang Mansion.
Because the Jiangnan Kingdom Zuo had been defeated, Li Congjia did not encounter any difficulties in his return.
Cao Bin only sent troops to take over the city, put the Jiangnan royal family under house arrest, and prepared to escort them back to the Central Plains. No ceremony was held.
The fall of Jinling and Nanchang Mansion further confirmed the demise of Jiangnan.
The next step is naturally the simplest way to spread the word.
Send people to the surrounding cities that have not surrendered to persuade the governor and regiment training envoys to submit to the Central Plains.
"Lin Dutong, Governor Chen..."
Cao Bin called Lin Renzhao and Chen Decheng's names.
Generally speaking, Jiangnan has been destroyed, and the remaining cities lack the meaning and strength to resist.
Such as Fuzhou, Yuanzhou, Jizhou and Qianzhou in Jiangxi, but there are some exceptions, namely Jianzhou, Jianzhou and Qingyuan Army in Fujian.
Jianzhou and Jianzhou are located in the mountains and forests of southern Fujian. In this era, there was a deep anti-foreign mentality. Even if there were many powerful locals, they might not surrender easily.
Lin Renzhao and Chen Decheng are very prestigious in Fujian, and sending them there can ensure the smooth surrender of the two states.
As for the Qingyuan Army, this is not part of the plan.
The commander-in-chief of the Qingyuan Army called Liu Congxiao.
This man was also a general of the state of Fujian. When there was civil strife in Fujian, the Southern Tang Dynasty took advantage of the situation and moved in to attack and destroy the land of Fujian.
However, this move of the Southern Tang Dynasty was on the one hand taking advantage of people's danger, and on the other hand it was to suppress others with national power. It did not show strong strength to convince Fujian, so that the generals fought for power, civil strife continued, and they even killed Wu Yue under the city of Fuzhou.
A big defeat.
Liu Congxiao took advantage of the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was unable to attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. He expelled the Southern Tang Dynasty's power in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, murdered his boss Dong Si'an and replaced him.
From then on, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou were nominally the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Liu Congxiao supported his own troops and refused to listen to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Southern Tang Dynasty had no choice but to confer him the title of King of Jinjiang, which was good for his face.
The means of staying and following the rule were also quite clever. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com flexibly dealt with the great powers of the Central Plains, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Wu and Yue, so that the two states of Quan and Zhang could maintain relative peace.
There is no doubt that the Qingyuan Army was a separatist force hiding under the wings of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"With the prestige of the two men in Fujian, it is not difficult to persuade Jianzhou and Jianzhou to surrender. The key is to stay and Congxiao. In fact, after our army entered Jiangnan, Liu Congxiao expressed his intention to submit and expressed his willingness to fight for us in the Central Plains.
.His proposal was rejected by someone. When you go to Jianzhou, Liu Congxiao will definitely reminisce with you. Remember, Liu Congxiao is the leader of the Qingyuan Army, and the King of Jinjiang in the Southern Tang Dynasty never agreed to Liu Congxiao.
Effective surrender."
Lin Renzhao and Chen Decheng looked at each other and expressed understanding.
At the same time, Cao Bin personally wrote a letter to Wu Yue Qian Hongm.
The content of the letter is very simple. The Qingyuan Army Jiedu envoy, Liu Congxiao, the king of Jinjiang in the Southern Tang Dynasty, separated the two states of Quan and Zhangzhou. In order to eliminate the last force in the south of the Yangtze River, they took advantage of the passage to attack Liu Congxiao!
