Chapter 115 Crisis is coming

According to Xue Deyin's judgment, if Yang Xuangan wanted to rebel in Liyang, then Li Mi would definitely go to Liyang. Yuanwuben was also an important chess piece that Yang Xuangan had pre-installed in Hebei. Just like Honghua left behind Yuan Hongsi, they were an indispensable part of the entire plan.

The Yongji Canal in Hebei is divided into three sections: front, middle and back. The southern part of the section is Baigou and the northern part is Pinglu Canal. The boundary between Baigou and Pinglu Canal is Baiqiao in Dongguang County, Pingyuan County.

Currently, the places where treacherous gangs gather in Hebei are Gaojipo and Douzigang. These two places have formed a siege against Baigou in geographical location, and have included all counties along Baigou, from Bohai County, the eastmost part of Baigou to the plains in the south, Qinghe, Wuyang and Ji County in the south, and then to Xindu, Xiangguo, Wu'an and Wei County in the northwest, all of which are thieves and have repeatedly suppressed unfairly, among which the situation in the Bohai County, Pingyuan and Qinghe County are the most critical.

Whoever controls Baigou actually controls the Yongji Canal waterway in Hebei. Liyang is from Baigou, and Dongguang County is the end of Baigou. Yang Xuangan personally sits in Liyang, Yuanwuben controls Dongguang, and the two places communicate with each other, forming a cross-bone attack on the active areas of Hebei rebels. However, this cross-bone attack has no substantial significance in the absence of the support of Hebei's prominent families and the failure to control Zhuyingyang Mansion in Hebei.

The question now is, have the Guanlong people who Yang Xuangan pre-deployed in Hebei won the support of the Hebei noble families? If there is a noble family and the Guanlong people in Hebei, how much is their common interests? How much trust is there? Will Yang Xuangan be given enough support in the subsequent Liyang mutiny?

From the welcoming banquet in Changlu City tonight, we can see that Yuan Wuben was very strong, slapped Cui in the face, publicly warned You Yuan and Hebei Haowang, and directly threatened Jialan, which was essentially threatened the Pei family and Xue family of Hedong behind Jialan, who were very arrogant.

Why is Yuan Wuben so powerful? It is because Yuan family was the first family of Zhongtu.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, prominent families have firmly controlled the power and wealth of the kingdom with their control over the classical culture. The nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the gentry system has become the core system of the kingdom, and the politics of aristocratic families has emerged. For hundreds of years, it is the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that has ensured the hereditary political power and respectful status of aristocratic families.

After the founding of the Empire, the first emperor did something "unprecedented and no one came later" and took the big flaw in the world, that is, reforming the selection system, abolishing the Zhongzheng official, and completely abolishing the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The customization in the seventh year of Kaihuang was that there were three tributes per year in each state. The standard for the county to recommend tributes was that the article was gorgeous, and those with particularly beautiful states could be recommended for the Xiucai subject and received a special examination. In the 18th year of Kaihuang, an edict was issued that the Beijing officials were above the fifth rank, the local officials were in charge and the governor, and they were in charge of the local officials, and they were in charge of the Qing and Ping Ganji. The imperial examination was the formation of the imperial examination system. The reform was even greater today, and the Jinshi was directly appointed to win the talented people in the world.

However, in actual operation, because the noble families always control power, wealth and culture, the national finance is unable to help every school of appropriate age study in the county and county schools, so studying and entering the government still has the privilege of children from powerful families. Even if you are the imperial examination, the "scholars" you are selected are also the children of prominent families of aristocratic families. This system is good, but it is not suitable for the times. You must wait until the country is rich and the people are strong, and the national finance and the general public have money to support students. More importantly, it is necessary to curb and weaken the invasion of state power and wealth by the aristocratic families, gradually expel them from the core of power, and minimize their influence on national policies.

The basis of the official system is the selection system. The Nine-rank Zhongzheng created the aristocratic families in Zhongtu, while the imperial examination system shook the control of the aristocratic families over the empire from the basis. Therefore, the reforms of the two generations of emperors of the empire were difficult, and many reform systems were "changed without changing the medicine". Although they were "sheep's heads", they were still selling "dog meat", because those who planned and implemented the reform system were all powerful families, and they had enough ways to prevent the reform process.

The noble family still has political privileges and a status of respect. The Cui family is still the highest sect in Zhongtu, and the Yuan family is also the largest family in Zhongtu. Even Yuan Wuben was a small eighth-rank county magistrate, but his surname was Yuan and was the son of the first large family in Zhongtu. Therefore, he had political privileges and a status of respect. He could "slap" Cui in the face very arrogantly, threaten the Pei family and Xue family in Hebei, and warn the You family in Hebei.

What kind of reaction did Cui and You react? They remained silent all the time, and did not even counterattack in words, nor did they "reach a helping hand" when Galan was passive. If Galan was not mentally strong enough, they were furious and were fooled by Yuanwuben, said some impulsive words, and exposed something that should not be exposed, how would Cui and You Yuan recover from it?

What kind of reaction did the heroes in Hebei react? They also remain silent. Galan's mystery is far from the dazzling halo on Yuanwuben's head. Everyone believes that Yuanwuben said that in other words, Hebei people have regarded Galan as an enemy to some extent. Cui Xun must be a powerful family in Shandong, and You Yuan is a native family in Hebei. These two people went south to inspect and would safeguard the vital interests of Hebei people, but Galan obviously would not. He is the emperor, the Pei family and the Xue family. He will never safeguard the interests of Hebei people. On the contrary, in order to safeguard the interests of the emperor and the Xue family of Pei family, this son will kill Hebei people.

With such deduction, the choice of Hebei people can be imagined. Cui Xun and You Yuan's "covering" was to some extent to better implement their own strategies, which also deceived Hebei people and made Hebei people misunderstand that Galan might not be the "enemy", but Yuan Wuben exposed Cui Xun and You Yuan's "ghost tricks" in a few words, exposing Galan's true face to the people of Hebei, and his threat to Hebei people was fully visible.

Xue Deyin and Fu Duanyi's analysis was very implicit, fearing that he would hurt Galan and anger the barbarian from the northwest wilderness.

Like the people of Hebei, they put the Yuanwuchun in a respectful position, and Galan cannot compare with him. No matter how mysterious Jialan's life experience is, he is always a vassal. It means that a certain noble family or a certain branch of a certain family has declined. If Galan wants to revive this branch, he may not be able to succeed in his life. In other words, Galan's future is not clear, let alone brilliant.

In today's empire, the Yuan clan was confirmed to be powerful and had a respectable status. His ancestors led Xianbei knights to fight south and unified the Yellow River Basin, ending the split and war for 150 years, bringing nearly a hundred years of peace to the common people on both sides of the Yellow River, and pushing the history of Middle-earth to the confrontation period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, thus laying the foundation for unification of the north to the south. The Wei State of Tuoba clan unifies Zhongtu for nearly two hundred years, and its lofty royal status has long penetrated into the hearts of the powerful and general public. Although its country was defeated decades ago and the Yuan clan was killed bloodily, one of the branches entering Guanzhong west survived stubbornly and is now even more prosperous and prosperous. The noble blood flowing in the body that represents the glory of the past has been respected by the entire northern people in Central China.

Shandong people respect the Yuan family just like Guanlong people. After Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Qi, and after the founding of the country by Zen, the former emperor sent the country, in order to quickly stabilize the situation in Shandong, the most local officials stationed in Shandong were the Yuan family, and this method was very effective. Among the Guanlong nobles, Shandong people could unanimously recognize the Yuan family. Even the powerful families of Cui and other native families in Shandong were born in contradictory groups because of their contradictory interests, they were not unanimously recognized by Shandong people.

According to this analysis, Yuanwuben is very likely to have received support from some prominent Hebei families in Pingyuan County. The county magistrate is indeed very small. It is because it is small that it is inconspicuous and unnoticed, so that it can hide the real purpose of Yuanwuben to Dongguang County. At the same time, because of this position, it is responsible for public security and anti-theft, which can help Yuanwuben to make extensive contacts with prominent Hebei families in Pingyuan County.

"When you arrive in Dongguang County, cross Baiqiao and enter Baigou, the situation may change."

Xue Deyin concluded. He and Yuan Wuben have been friends for many years and understand Yuan Wuben's character. If Yuan Wuben participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, then in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, Yuan Wuben is very likely to use the Hebei rebels to siege and kill the inspection team, or to be more precise, to siege and kill Jialan and his Long Weitong, to eliminate all the unfavorable factors that may hinder this plan. After all, Cui Xun and You Yuan are children of aristocratic families in Shandong, and it is better to leave their lives than to kill them.

How do people in Hebei choose? Judging from the overall interests of the Shandong people, of course, I hope that Yang Xuangan will rebel, then cut off the Yongji Canal, cut off the waterway of the Expeditionary Army, and force the emperor and the Expeditionary Army to lose again on the battlefield in Liaodong. The emperor was furious and would definitely go south to the Central Plains and kill wildly. The Guanlong people killed each other, and the two tigers fought each other, which would make the Shandong people vacant. Shandong people could benefit from it.

"If we were destroyed in Pingyuan County and killed by Hebei people, more Hebei people would definitely raise their flags to respond after Yang Xuangan's rebellion."

Killing Jialan and Long Weitong is equivalent to completely offending the emperor, the Pei and Xue clans of Hedong. Once the emperor kills Yang Xuangan, it will be the turn of Hebei people to be unlucky. First-rate and second-rate aristocratic families can still fight, while third-rate and fourth-rate prominent families and inequality local tyrants will be unable to resist and must be scapegoats. Since this is the case, it is better to bet on Yang Xuangan and gamble. If the bet is won, the world will change, and perhaps you can soar into the sky and join the ranks of the rich and glorious families.

In fact, most of the leaders of the Hebei rebels are from the third and fourth-class prominent families and inequality local tyrants. These people have suffered the greatest losses in the process of imperial unification and the reform of the imperial system. Therefore, they hate the Guanlong people the most and are most willing to promote the killing of each other within the Guanlong people. From this point of view, under the purposeful guidance of the great powers of Hebei families and the deliberate enlistment of the Guanlong people led by Yang Xuangan, they are indeed likely to "take a plan" to help Yang Xuangan cut off the waterway first, and then help Yang Xuangan rebel. As for killing the Longwei Tong, it is just a trivial matter, just a small episode.

How do people in Hebei choose? The answer is soon revealed.

The next day, Jialan received an order from You Yuan that he would handle some official duties in Changlu and temporarily postpone his journey south.

The delay in going south actually means that You Yuan needs more time to discuss strategic discussions with the noble families of the Baigou front-line counties and counties, and give these noble families more time to implement his strategy.

Galan realized that the crisis was approaching step by step, and immediately summoned the brigade officers to deploy solutions.

You Yuan stayed in Changlu for three days. Jia Lan was worried and there was very little time now. The earlier he arrived in Liyang and the earlier he arrived in Dongdu, the more he had the chance to stop Yang Xuangan's rebellion. At least he could prepare in advance to minimize the harm caused by Yang Xuangan's rebellion.

Cui Xun did not appear in these three days. It is obvious that before the Dongdu Cui Jie and Cui Baode replied, he could not make any more actions. What is particularly important is that he must take into account the interests of the entire Shandong powerful group, and cannot deliberately destroy or prevent the strategies that You Yuan are implementing, and cannot openly fight You Yuan against you.

Three days later, the inspection team drove south and headed towards Pingyuan County.

Changlu City is more than 200 miles away from Dongguang. The fleet walked for more than two days and arrived at Baiqiao almost dusk. At the Jinkou of Baiqiao, I did not see the grand welcome scene I imagined. I only saw the county magistrates and assistants of Dongguang, Gonggao and Husu, as well as several local counties, which were very deserted.

Jialan commanded the soldiers of Longwei to set up camp on the north bank of Baiqiaojin. The deserted scene on the south bank gave Jialan, Xue Deyin and others an ominous premonition. You Yuan did not send anyone to invite Jialan to meet the officials of Pingyuan County, and Jialan was also happy to be quiet. He was originally poor and humble, and he was struggling day and night between life and death. He was very disgusted with the arrogant and domineering powerful bureaucrats in his bones, and could not force himself to go against his nature and actively adapt to this class. So he naturally escaped to cover up his resentment and cowardice in his heart.

However, since he left the Western Land, he was destined to step into this class and had no way to escape. Late at night, You Yuan sent his subordinates to invite him and boarded the ship to discuss matters.

In the cabin, You Yuan's face looked ugly, as if he was suppressing his anger. Cui Xun was also there, sitting under the dim copper lamp, a pale and handsome face looked a little gloomy, but his expression was still as calm as ever, and he could not see joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

After Jialan saw the ceremony, she immediately pointed to a map spread on the table and told Jialan about the news she had just obtained.

The county magistrate of Pingyuan County led a group of lords and several county magistrates around the Zhifu to go north to Dongguang to welcome the inspection mission. They rested in a place called Daliuji that night. Unexpectedly, the Guanshi was suddenly attacked by rebels, and the county magistrate was surrounded by Daliu Guanshi. At the same time, another rebel suddenly attacked Ande City, the Pingyuan County magistrate.

The situation is extremely critical. If the magistrate of Pingyuan County falls into a thief and the magistrate of Pingyuan County is also captured by the thief army, the situation in Hebei will definitely take a sharp turn, which will not only endanger the safety of the waterway, but also endanger the victory or defeat of the Second Eastern Expedition. You Yuan has already asked for help from the four counties adjacent to Xindu, Qinghe, Hejian and Bohai, and ordered the magistrate of the four counties to send troops in the shortest time, and rush to Dongguang to gather and rush to the plains to help.

The one who has the greatest pressure at this moment is You Yuan. When he encounters such a thing during the inspection, he certainly has to stand up and face the difficulties, but if the rescue fails, he will have to bear all the blame. What people are behind the Hebei rebels? You Yuan has a plan in his mind, but what he didn't expect was that these people are now joining forces to deal with him, threatening him with his wealth and life, and want to turn against him, which is simply the opposite of the world.

"Tomorrow, Long Wei Tong will go south with someone and kill Daliuji." You Yuan's tone was unquestionable

Galan bowed without hesitation and agreed.
