Chapter 2658 : Wang Jian Yingzhou challenged the heroes, Great Qin declared war on Wei and Song
Chapter 2658: Wang Jian wins the battle against the heroes, Da Qin declares war on Wei and Song Dynasty
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were prepared to join forces to expel Qin's forces from Yingzhou once war broke out with Qin.
With Yingzhou as the backing, the war potential of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains will become stronger, and the certainty of repelling the Qin army will naturally be greater.
Therefore, since the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Ming Dynasty, and the Wei and Song Dynasties sided with the Ming Dynasty, the situation in Yingzhou immediately became strange.
After all, at this time, the Great Qin Governor of Yingzhou, Zhou Yu, had led his army to leave Yingzhou. Without the deterrence of Zhou Yu, a famous general of the Great Qin, many local forces in Yingzhou had other ideas. Some even openly violated the prohibition, and their anti-Qin intentions were obvious.
Reveal.
Regarding these people, Qin Zheng, the governor of Yingzhou in the Great Qin Dynasty, had an extremely tough attitude, that is, he would kill one by one regardless of the reason, and would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.
These local forces in Yingzhou who intended to restore the country had just emerged, but they were strongly suppressed by the Qin government. Nearly a thousand people were arrested and publicly beheaded on Mount Fuji.
With Qin Zheng's cry of zero, thousands of heads fell to the ground, and there were naturally many innocent people among them. The blood not only dyed Mount Fuji red, but also ignited the anger of many Japanese people.
Since Qin Zheng became the governor of Yingzhou, he has always displayed a tolerant and elegant image. However, with the mass beheading of Mount Fuji, his good image suddenly disappeared and he was regarded as a cold-blooded and cruel official by all Japanese people.
Just when many Japanese people were angry about this and thought that someone would definitely stand up to oppose the atrocities of the Qin Dynasty, more than a dozen major clans, including Shangshan, Otomo, Tachibana, Hojo, Sanada, and Maori, announced at the same time that they would defend the rule of the Qin Dynasty to the death and oppose all opposition.
Qin's behavior was tantamount to rebellion, and all anti-Qin people were openly arrested.
Now the anti-Qin people in Da Qin's jurisdiction would not only be arrested by Da Qin, but also hunted by local forces. They had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to escape from Da Qin's jurisdiction and join other forces.
Qin Zheng used iron-blooded methods to temporarily frighten the local forces in Yingzhou. It was not until Wang Jian took office as the governor that this anti-Qin wave was completely stopped.
Although the local forces in Yingzhou within Da Qin have tied their interests with Da Qin, the time that Da Qin ruled in Yingzhou was still too short. These forces have not completely returned to their hearts. Naturally, they will not be loyal to Da Qin. If there is another chance to restore the country,
They wouldn't mind rebelling against Qin.
However, under the shock of Qin Zheng's bloody methods, Shangshan, Hojo and other major clans also stood on the side of Qin. In addition, Wang Jian, a famous general who conquered Japan, was in charge of the Qin army. Neither the Qin army nor the Qin Alliance army would cause trouble.
.
This also made those local forces who had anti-Qin intentions realize that even if they rebelled, it would not have much effect, so naturally they did not dare to openly oppose Qin.
Although Qin Zheng and Wang Jian had frightened the inside, they were helpless against external forces outside the Qin jurisdiction.
At this time, although the armies of the Wei, Song, and Ming dynasties stationed in Yingzhou had not directly launched a war against Qin, the affiliated forces of the three countries continued to provoke Da Qin in order to test Da Qin's strength.
Both Qin Zheng and Wang Jian knew that they must not give in at all, otherwise the other party would only push forward, so they did not hesitate to cut off the minions of the other party who dared to provoke. This move also completely intensified Ying's anger.
Conflicts within the state.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Ming, together with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who inherited Oda Nobunaga's legacy, and more than ten local forces such as Takeda, Date, Imagawa, and Otomo, prepared to jointly launch an attack on the five counties of Yingzhou under Qin.
Among the four Yingzhou Islands, Honshu Island, the largest in area, was jointly occupied by the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Wu, and Ming. Among them, Da Qin alone occupied nearly half of the territory.
Kyushu Island was divided among the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, and Wu, while the two most barren islands of Shikoku and Hokkaido were owned by the Ming Kingdom.
Da Qin had a total of five counties and thirty counties in Yingzhou.
After Qin Zheng became the governor of Yingzhou, he established Kanto County (six counties) and Kansai County (six counties) in the Kanto Plain of Honshu, established Hokuriku County (five counties) in the Echigo Plain, and established Saikai County (Six Counties) in the western part of Honshu.
Eight counties), and Sanyo County (five counties) was established on Kyushu Island.
The area occupied by Da Qin in Yingzhou is the most elite area in terms of population and resources, but these five counties are not connected.
Saikai County is in the westernmost part of Honshu, and Sanyo County is located on Kyushu Island.
Once the Great Qin and the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains fall out, the three counties of Kanto and Echigo in the core area may not be afraid of the combined forces of all parties to invade, but the two counties and thirteen counties hanging outside may not be able to withstand it.
The forces from all sides were under siege.
The result was not what Wang Jian and Qin Zheng expected. After the war with the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms, the two counties of Xihai and Shanyang were attacked first by the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms, as well as the local forces in Yingzhou.
Although Wang Jian and Qin Zheng had anticipated this, they had no good solution. They could only order Zhang Han to guard Xihai County and Di Qing to guard Shanyang County, and try to defend these two counties as much as possible.
At the same time, Wang Jian will also lead 50,000 infantry, 20,000 naval troops, and 100,000 Qin allies, a total of 170,000 troops, to single-handedly challenge the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming, and more than a dozen Yingzhou local forces.
The war that broke out between the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Ming, as well as the local forces in Yingzhou, to expel the Qin Dynasty, logically speaking, has little to do with the State of Wu, but the State of Wu is also a major force in Yingzhou, and the entire force in Yingzhou is
After being involved, Wu Guo naturally cannot stay alone.
If Wu State sides with the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains will have a greater chance of winning. However, if it sides with Great Qin, it will not be good news for the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.
Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains and the Great Qin are trying their best to win over the Wu army and want to bring Wu into their own camp.
The Qin State is better off. Even if it cannot win the Wu State over, it must at least keep the Wu State neutral.
However, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were much more aggressive. They actually forced Wu to side with them and were even prepared to immediately annex Wu's territory in Yingzhou if Wu refused.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty in Yingzhou was mainly distributed in the eastern part of Honshu Island, as well as the two islands of Shikoku and Hokkaido. Most of them were uninhabited and barbaric lands.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Wu were in Yingzhou. Before they were harmed by them, it was considered the essence of Yingzhou.
But just like Da Qin's situation, their chassis are not all connected.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Wu were intertwined in Yingzhou. They were among you, and you were among them. They were also relatively close to each other.
Therefore, once the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming join forces to attack Wu, Wu will be at an absolute disadvantage and will not even have the power to fight back.
Currently, Wu's territory in Yingzhou has been blocked by the Wei, Song, and Ming Kingdoms. Once Wu refuses to join the Three Kingdoms camp, it will immediately be carved up by the Wei, Song, Ming, and local forces in Yingzhou.
This is also the main reason why He Qi was unable to obey Sun Quan's order and bring the Yingzhou garrison and Wu Xie army back to Wu.
The State of Wu has a total of 15,000 troops stationed in Yingzhou and 45,000 Wu Xiejun, and these 60,000 troops are commanded by the left and right governors respectively.
The right governor is He Qi, who is responsible for guarding Wu's territory in this state, while the left governor, Lu Meng, is responsible for guarding Wu's colony on Kyushu Island.
He Qi was from Sun Quan, but Lu Meng was from Sun Ce.
Lu Meng's luck was better than that of Sun Wu, Sun Bin and others. He was not directly beaten to the end by Sun Quan, but was exiled to Jiuzhou Island and served as the left governor of Yingzhou in Wu Kingdom.
Lü Meng, like He Qi, had received letters from Sun Ce and Sun Quan, as well as threats from the Wei, Song and Ming Kingdoms, and was also unable to bring his troops back to Wu.
But Lu Meng made a completely opposite decision to He Qi.
He Qi was worried that Wu's territory in this state would be divided up by the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming and Yingzhou, so he had no choice but to join the anti-Qin alliance.
Compared to He Qi in this state, Lu Meng's situation in Kyushu is much safer.
First of all, Wu's territory in southern Kyushu is connected, unlike Honshu's territory, which is one piece at a time, so even if the Wei and Song Dynasties invade, they have the ability to protect themselves.
Secondly, Japan's native forces on Kyushu Island are weak, and the strongest Shimazu, Otomo and Shimazu families were also recovered by Qin and Wu respectively, so there is no need to worry about the counterattack of Japan's native forces.
It is precisely because of these two points, and because Lu Meng knew that He Qi would definitely join the anti-Qin alliance, after all, he had no other choice.
Today, the Wu State is in a state of division and has also been invaded by the Chu State. If it offends the Qin Dynasty at this time, Soochow will be completely isolated and helpless.
Therefore, in order not to completely offend Great Qin, Lu Meng chose to side with Great Qin in the name of Sun Ce and help Great Qin fight against the anti-Qin alliance.
When the Yingzhou War broke out, an extremely dramatic scene occurred, that is, Wu's power in Yingzhou was divided into two like the mainland.
He Qi, who was based in his own state, joined the anti-Qin alliance camp on behalf of Sun Quan, while Lu Meng, who was based in Kyushu, joined the Great Qin camp on behalf of Sun Ce.
Whether it is the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, the Great Qin, or Soochow, they all help, and no one is offended.
Kyushu Island, Zhang Han, and Lu Meng teamed up with the Shimazu and Otomo families to face the Kyushu coalition forces of the Wei and Song Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's four-nation garrison, and the Japanese coalition of local forces.
Honshu Island, Wang Jian, Qin Zheng, teamed up with Kenshin Uesugi, Michizuki Tachibana, as well as many large clans such as Mori and Hojo to fight against the four-nation coalition forces of Wei, Song, Wu and Ming, and the Japanese restoration forces headed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
For a time, the four islands of Yingzhou were in a state of war and war.
Regardless of the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, and Wu, or the local forces in Japan headed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they obviously did not care about the life and death of the Yingzhou natives, so the intensity and cruelty of this battle was even greater than that of the Japanese conquest three years ago.
The war is going to be even bigger, as if Yingzhou is going to be reduced to ashes.
After this battle, the number of local indigenous people in Yingzhou will probably further decrease, but this is not a bad thing for Great Qin. After all, the smaller the number of indigenous people, the faster it will be able to completely assimilate Yingzhou.

Sizhou, Luoyang.
"Lord, all the candidates who participated in confusing the people have been arrested by the Jin Yiwei. These people will be sentenced to a punishment ranging from one month to three months and will be deprived of the qualifications for this imperial examination." Guo Jiahui reported.
The examinee deceived the people and slandered the concubine. Such crimes could be serious or minor, but he was only imprisoned for three months at most. This punishment was obviously not serious.
For the candidates, jail time is nothing, but they can be deprived of the qualifications for the imperial examination. If they miss the imperial examination, they will have to wait another three years.
You know, many candidates from poor backgrounds have to spend their entire lives and save money to support themselves in taking a scientific examination.
Therefore, if you miss this imperial examination, you may never be able to take the imperial examination in your lifetime.
For them, losing the qualifications for the imperial examination is much more serious than being imprisoned for three months.
"How will the disciples from the aristocratic families who led this incident be punished?" Ying Hao asked.
"The eighteen disciples of the aristocratic family headed by them will be sentenced to three years in prison and permanently deprived of the qualifications for the imperial examination." Guo Jia replied.
Ying Hao nodded, quite satisfied with this punishment. After all, these eighteen children from aristocratic families had made this session of civilian candidates miserable.
Just because of a dozen of them, hundreds of candidates from poor families were deprived of the qualification to take the exam, including many common people who were very knowledgeable and had a high probability of passing the exam.
The civilian candidates were originally a mixed bag, and so many of them were directly deprived of their qualifications to take the exam. Now, the number of civilian children who will pass the second science examination will probably be much smaller than that of the first.
After experiencing incidents such as people parading in the streets to denounce the Wei and Song Dynasties, and officials deceiving the people, Da Qin also finalized the matter of sending troops to the Wei and Song Dynasties, and the first step was to declare war on the Wei and Song Dynasties.
