"Sir, there are more and more people outside the palace, and now they are about to exceed a thousand."
"What?"
Li Yan was surprised at first, and then said angrily: "These untouchables are really good at looking for trouble.
What do you do for food? Why don't you disperse these people by force? Do you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing?
Soon, the Qing Emperor will come to Chendu. If he sees such a scene, it will bring shame to the entire Chen Kingdom."
"But sir, these are the people of my country, Chen. If we forcefully disperse the people, it may be self-defeating if there are casualties."
"What people? They are a mob."
Li Yan directly picked up his men's collars and shouted angrily: "Don't show mercy to these mobs.
Within three hours, I don't want there to be any common people in front of the palace, otherwise you can come and see them all.
Get out of here quickly or not."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will do it now."
The officials, who were frightened to death, fled in a hurry, and then led the army to forcibly disperse the people. You can imagine how many bloodshed incidents would occur.
Li Yan is indeed the most brutal existence among the "Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty".
Li Yan in original history dared to enclose more than 34,300 hectares of land around the capital, and harmed countless wealthy businessmen and ordinary people. He killed more than a thousand good people alone.
Such a person with an extremely cruel nature would naturally not care about the life and death of the people.
In Li Yan's eyes, there is nothing more important than the Qing Emperor's visit to Chendu in the near future. The people making trouble at this time are undoubtedly looking for trouble for him. In order not to affect his image in the Qing Emperor's heart, he does not mind killing
Hundreds of people shocked the people.
The people who gathered in front of the palace just protested against the actions of the government and wanted to seek justice for their relatives who died tragically, but they did not expect to be forcibly expelled by the army.
Hundreds of Chen Jun soldiers armed with sticks beat anyone they saw. How could the unarmed people resist? Suddenly the people were filled with grief and they fled one after another, not daring to stay any longer.
This expulsion operation eventually went wrong, and dozens of people were killed on the spot, including elderly women and children.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole city was shocked.
The army that they were once so proud of now not only grovels in front of foreigners, but also turns their swords against their own countrymen and elders. Can this be tolerated? It is simply a case of government forcing the people to rebel.
A civil uprising is gradually brewing.
There is no shortage of hot-blooded men in Chen's army, and the series of events that occurred during this period have also made many people in the army disappointed with Chen Guo, and many middle-level officers are preparing to secretly revolt.
A mutiny is also gradually brewing.
"Idiot, who asked you to forcefully expel the people?"
Cai Jing slapped Li Yan angrily and roared: "You've beaten so many people to death. Don't you know that this will intensify the conflict?"
Li Yan covered his rapidly swollen face and said with an aggrieved look, "I didn't expect it would be such a big fuss."
"Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
Cai Jing looked at Li Yan coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Aren't the lessons of the Yellow Turban Uprising enough? Once the people gather to rebel, just wait to be pushed out to quell the public's anger."
Hearing this, Li Yan suddenly panicked. He didn't want to be pushed out to quell the public's anger. He immediately stepped forward, hugged Cai Jing's thigh, and cried: "Boss Cai, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."
, you have to save my little brother."
Cai Jing directly kicked Li Yan away, but he still wasn't relieved, so he stepped forward and kicked Li Yan a few more times, and most of the anger in his heart was reduced.
Of course, it is impossible for Cai Jing to really push Li Yan out to quell public anger. Their nine major families are die-hard allies and have the same interests. If Li Yan is abandoned today, who knows whether he will be abandoned by others tomorrow?
"call……"
After Cai Jingchang took a breath, he said in a deep voice: "Now there is widespread public dissatisfaction. If this continues, the situation will be completely out of control."
Li Yan suddenly became anxious, got up quickly, and asked anxiously: "Can't we send troops to suppress it?"
"You know about suppression. Now even the military is unstable. If we send troops to suppress it forcefully, even the military might mutiny."
"What should we do?"
Li Yan was sweating on his forehead. He really didn't know how terrible the people who had always been docile and like sheep could be when they got angry.
Times have changed.
The Yellow Turban Uprising set an example for the people all over the world, letting them know that if the government does not give them a way to survive, they can muster the courage to resist.
Now Li Yan really feels regretful in his intestines. A good situation has turned into this because of his one thought. If he had known what kind of disaster he would cause, he would not have dared to order the forced expulsion of the people.
After Cai Jing pondered for a long time, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "The current Chen State can no longer be stabilized by us. For now, the only way is to invite the Manchus to help us quell the unrest.
.”
On the Chen side, because of colluding with foreigners, professing vassalage to the Manchus, and Li Yan's stupid actions, there was widespread resentment among the people, and even the army became unstable.
Unable to control the situation, Cai Jing and others were unable to handle such a situation, so they asked the Manchus, who were foreigners, to help them suppress the rebellion.
Naturally, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not watch Chen Guo's rebellion, so they decisively agreed to Cai Jing's request and sent troops to help Cai Jing suppress the rebellion.
The total population of Chen State was only a few hundred thousand, but under the suppression of 200,000 Manchu and Qing troops, all civil rebellions and mutinies were eliminated and all rebellions were quickly suppressed.
Of course, the Chen State also suffered from bloodshed. Countless people died in this purge, and people everywhere were in mourning.
On the other side, Wang Mang, who was far away in Sanhan, was trembling with excitement when he learned that the main force of 200,000 Manchus was heading south to Youzhou.
"Nurhaci, thank you for giving me this opportunity. If I, Wang Mang, don't seize it again, I will really be sorry for your kindness." Wang Mang said to himself with a smile on his face.
"My Lord, Goguryeo and other countries have been frightened by the Manchu Qing. Even if the Manchu Qing only left 50,000 troops in the three Koreas, various countries were worried that this was a trap for the Manchu Qing. Most of their troops still stayed in the north to defend against the Manchu Qing.
And this just gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
Chen Qingyi said excitedly. At first, he had no confidence in Wang Mang's plan to embezzle the Three Hans, but he never thought that now he would actually have the opportunity to seize the Three Hans.
"With the current strength of our army, it is far from enough to occupy three Koreas, so we must expand our army again as soon as possible."
Wang Mang's eyes were full of fighting spirit, but then a strange look flashed through him and he said: "In addition, the Japanese pirates in the south must be dealt with as soon as possible."
