Taiwei Palace in the 437th year of the Great Yuan Calendar
Tai Li frowned and sat on the dragon chair, flipping through the memorial brought by the envoy, and then slowly said: "Read it for all the ministers to listen to!"
The old eunuch took the memorial and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty Han Jin began to report:
It has been passed down for eighteen generations since Emperor Taizheng of the Gao Dynasty raised his army, followed the will of heaven, obeyed the people's will, punished the violent Ci Yu, and started a new policy. The ancients said: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king"
Everyone in our land of China is a minister. Because of your Majesty’s letter,
For this reason, we are asked to unite the troops in all directions to secure the border garrison. We are sincerely grateful to the emperor for his kindness and kindness. But now Zheng Guogong and Zhang Qingmeng support the troops and respect themselves, which violates the principles of morality. The former destroyed Wenbo, destroyed Zhou Cheng, conquered Wang Fu, and the latter held hostage
The emperor orders the world, and he is actually the most treacherous official in his dynasty!
I can't bear to see our country, which has been in great power for more than 400 years, destroyed in one fell swoop, so I risk my life to petition. I hope that your majesty will issue an imperial edict and order the world to share the same hatred of the enemy and jointly attack the traitors and rectify the country's principles. Because your majesty is controlled by the traitors,
You can ask all the princes in the world to gather with you to discuss the matter and pray for the Holy Judge.
Governor of Jiangnan Han Jin "Thirty-eight years of Taili"
Terry obviously had some doubts. He kept banging on the dragon chair with trembling hands. Sometimes he stood up excitedly, sometimes he sat down anxiously. Then he seemed to have come to his senses and said to the ministers: "This is a wonderful performance by Han Jin.
But I don’t know what your dear friends have to say.”
A civil servant stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. Now that the imperial army is lacking, it is difficult to make an enemy of Zhang Qingmeng. If we order all the princes in the world to attack him together, even Guan Zhong and Zhuge will not be able to rebel against the way of heaven, and we will not have to suffer the consequences of others."
contain."
All the ministers responded one after another, but Tai Li was a little anxious: "If this is the case, all warlords must be made kings. If the warlords become bigger through the rewards, it will be even more difficult for the court to control them."
"If you don't give up the small, you will lose the big. Zhang Qingmeng is a great hero in the world. His ambition is far more than that, but he wants to replace you. On the other hand, other warlords are content with the status quo, and generous rewards can calm them down.
And Zhang Qingmeng, unless His Majesty gives way to him, will definitely not obey the imperial court's orders," the minister argued.
These words gave Tai Li a reassurance, and he shouted hurriedly: "Hurry and write my pen and ink, I will make all the princes kings in the dynasty!"
On that day, Taili consecrated a total of three princes with different surnames and five princes with different surnames. He prepared various items and the envoys arrived at the princes' territories almost simultaneously within a month.
Green Nail Kingdom Jiang'an City
Han Jin led the civil and military ministers to kneel at the feet of the envoy, showing great respect. The envoy held up the imperial edict and read: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: Han Jin, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, has a gentle temperament, is diligent and willing to give advice, has insight into the subtleties, and governs well.
That is to say, he was canonized as the King of Yue and took charge of seven counties and thirty-four counties in the south. I admire this!"
"Your Majesty Han Jin accepted the order and thanked you!" Han Jinggong

After receiving the imperial edict respectfully, the envoy said another sentence: "Your Majesty asked me to tell the King of Yue that all the proposed things will be agreed to. I also hope that the King of Yue will be ready to receive all the princes in Jiang'an City. The King of Yue will be the leader of the alliance. The specific matters will be decided by
The King of Yue made the ruling."
Han Jin raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the imperial edict over and over again.
Xiangyang Kingdom Jinling City
When Hua Hao saw the envoy coming, he said disdainfully: "Aren't you asking me to commit suicide by coming here today?"
The envoy quickly replied: "This is absolutely not what I meant. Because Zheng Gong Zhang Qingmeng and the cholera court outline, Han Jin, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, called on all the princes in the world to form an 'anti-Zheng alliance'. I have come here to make you king by the emperor's decree."
Hua Hao was originally sleepy, but when he heard the word "king", he immediately jumped down and ordered all the important ministers to kneel down.
The envoy opened the imperial edict and read: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Hua Hao, the governor, is well-informed and well-informed, and can command the army well. He will be conferred as King of Wu immediately, and he will rule over 16 counties and 84 counties in the east of the Yangtze River. I admire this!"
Hua Hao received the imperial edict and the envoy told him: "If the King of Wu wants to join the alliance, he can go to Jiang'an City, the capital of the Yue Kingdom."
Backing country Chengdu Prefecture
Li Huan hugged a beautiful woman with one arm and smiled lustfully, completely ignoring the emperor's messenger. After a while, he asked: "What are you doing? The emperor is dead?"
The envoy angrily retorted: "How presumptuous! Your Majesty asked me to make you king so that I could fight against Zhang Qingmeng, but you are so rude!"
"Zhang Qingmeng has returned to China?" Li Huan was a little surprised. After all, if the messenger hadn't come these days, he would have "heard nothing outside the window and only thought about beauties." After hearing the messenger's affirmative answer, he panicked
Pushing the woman in his arms away, he paced back and forth in a panic: "If Zhang Qingmeng returns to China, how will he live his peaceful life?"
The envoy said: "That's right. Although you rely on the dangers of Bashu and the solid mountains and rivers, Zhang Qingmeng is a great hero in the world. When the army arrives, not even a blade of grass will grow. It is difficult for you alone to resist it. If you want to save your life, you must use all the princes to fight against it."
Forming an alliance and jointly fighting against Zheng is the only way to survive!"
Li Huan quickly knelt down with the ministers and listened to the imperial edict together.
"Accepting the order of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Li Huan, the governor, has governed Bashu in a well-organized manner. Outsiders call it the 'Land of Abundance of Heaven'. He is now canonized as the King of Chengdu and has jurisdiction over the entire Yizhou. I admire this!"
Li Huan trembled and accepted the imperial edict, and the messenger reminded: "If the King of Chengdu intends to go to the alliance, he can go to the capital of Hanjin, the King of Yue, and someone will remind him of the time."
In addition to these three powerful princes being canonized as kings, they also consecrated Wei Hua of Xinzhuang as Duke of Jin, Liu Zhao of Liao Cheng as Duke of Yan, Zhang Wenbo of Changxing as Duke of Zhao, Yang Min of Dahe as Duke of Han, and Ning.
Anguo Liu Si was the Duke of Dai.
At the end of the year, the three kings, five princes and some princes gathered in Jiang'an City, and Han Jin built a house on the outskirts of the city.

At the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, all the princes knelt down and kowtowed five or six times in front of the statue of Emperor Gao Zheng. They cut their fingers with a knife and dropped a drop of blood into the wine bowl. Han Jin held the bowl and said solemnly: "Today I
wait
I have been ordered by the king of the imperial court to kneel before Emperor Gao, and I am willing to make a bloody alliance with him, with the intention of driving away the thieves and ensuring that our empire will always enjoy peace. I hope that Emperor Gao will bear witness for us. Anyone who betrays the covenant will be punished by heaven.
punish!"
Then all the princes took turns to take a sip, and when there was only half a bowl left, Han Jin slowly sprinkled it into the ground, which meant that the "Anti-Zheng Alliance" was officially formed.
Afterwards, the princes held more than ten alliance meetings, large and small, and decided on the following details:
In the summer of 438 AD, the armies formally formed an alliance, promoted the naval force to the navy, and directly attacked the coastal areas of Zhangqingmeng in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea. It was mainly composed of two powerful coastal countries, Hanjin and Huahao. In summer, the south wind blows.
In the north, the navy can move upwind, and the general must choose someone who is familiar with water properties.
The princes banned Zhang Qingmeng's merchants and goods from entering the country, imposed economic sanctions on him, and completely cut off his sea routes.
Zhang Wenbo: 40,000 infantry and 5,000 crossbowmen
Yang Min: Thirty thousand cavalry, ten thousand artillery
Liu Si: 50,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and 10,000 archers.
There are 360,000 infantry, 130,000 cavalry, 90,000 archers, 10,000 artillery, 10,000 heavy cavalry, 5,000 crossbowmen, 3,000 chariots, and 2,000 elephants, for a total of 610,000.
sea soldier
Hanjin: A navy of 100,000 people and more than 5,000 medium-sized warships.
Hua Hao: 110,000 navy, more than 1,000 large warships, and more than 6,000 medium warships.
There are a total of 210,000 navy, more than 1,000 large warships, and more than 11,000 medium warships.
The Anti-Zheng Allied Forces had an army of 610,000 and a navy of 210,000, totaling 820,000 troops. From this we can see how much people in the world fear Zhang Qingmeng and want to completely defeat him in this battle.
However, although Zhang Qingmeng didn't know it at this time, he was keenly aware that the danger was approaching step by step, and sent many spies down to search for clues. He stood on the palace tower, looking at the cloudy sky, and said with emotion
Said: "The wind is blowing, the weather is going to change..."
