Chapter 2648: The Sixth Central Plains War, the Second Imperial Examination of the Qin Dynasty
Since the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Ming Dynasty, the whole world has focused on the Central Plains. In addition to paying attention to the war between Qin and Ming, the most important thing is the reaction of Wei and Song countries. After all, this is related to the progress of the Fourth Central Plains War.
Strictly speaking, this is actually the sixth Central Plains War.
People all call the three wars that broke out in the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties the Central Plains War, but in fact there were two before this, and the first was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Although the Yellow Turban Army was short-lived, it swept across the entire Central Plains. Although it made the Central Plains a sieve, it also brought new life. This is the first Central Plains War in the true sense.
The Second Central Plains War was after the heroes attacked Dong, and major forces such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang and others fought against each other, and in the end they were only four countries, Wei, Song, Ming and Qi.
As for the third, fourth and fifth, these three Central Plains wars were after Zhu Yuanzhang''s death and Zhu Di succeeded to the throne.
Wei and Song dynasties joined forces to annex Zhu Ming, but they did not expect that the Ming Kingdom was so tenacious. They fought three consecutive wars in the Central Plains but failed to destroy the Ming Kingdom. Instead, the political structure of the Central Plains changed from a battle for hegemony to a three-legged tripod.
Now that the Qin Dynasty declares war on the Ming Dynasty, if the Wei and Song dynasties stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it will be equivalent to using the entire Central Plains to fight against the Qin Dynasty, which will naturally be the sixth Central Plains War.
However, many people think that the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming may not join forces, and there are three reasons:
First, the conflict between the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties was too great. The three Central Plains wars caused countless deaths, and this hatred was not easily resolved.
Second, the relationship between Wei and Song dynasties and Qin is too close. Qin and Wei, Qin and Song are both in-law relationships, and private business exchanges are even more frequent. It is obviously difficult to turn against each other before the complete separation.
And the third is that Wei, the number one big brother in the Qin Dynasty, may not dare to turn against the Qin Dynasty.
The Wei State has achieved its current status and the various material support of the Qin Dynasty has made great contributions. In addition, it borders the Qin Dynasty on three sides, and all walks of life in the country were once controlled by the Qin Dynasty, so that Wei State was not even straight in the face of the Qin State. He has no confidence to turn against Daqin.
In the marriage between the two countries, Song and Wu sent a princess to go, while Wei actually sent three.
Wei''s favor to the Qin Dynasty was almost flattering, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty.
You expect the vassal state to dare to turn against the sect leader state?
Does South Korea dare to turn against the United States?
But what everyone did not expect was that two days after the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Ming Dynasty, the first one to respond was Wei State, and the response was to accuse the Qin Dynasty of attacking the Ming Dynasty for being an unjust war.
Cao Cao, who has always been weak in his attitude towards the Qin Dynasty, became very tough this time, which is simply incredible!
Not only those ordinary people, but even Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di were incredible about Cao Cao''s reaction, because only they knew what Cao Cao''s statement meant.
This means that if the Qin Dynasty started war against the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains at the same time, the first battlefield would also be transferred from southern Qingzhou to Yanzhou. After all, the first bird was shot out, and Cao Wei was sacrificing himself to block the sword for the Ming Dynasty.
When did Cao Aman, who was insidious and cunning, got up early without profit, get this enlightenment?
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Di were both shocked by this, but what shocked them even more was still behind them.
In addition to accusing the Qin Dynasty of attacking the Ming Dynasty for no reason, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead 50,000 troops to aid the Ming Dynasty, and also moved the capital?
This is the rhythm of not leaving a little room, just killing the boat, and fighting with Daqin.
Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to wait and see, but Cao Cao''s fierce reaction made Zhao Kuangyin completely make up his mind.
There are also many peace factions in the Song Dynasty, and they also oppose sending troops from a good perspective for the Song Dynasty.
Before, Zhao Kuangyin had the patience to hear what they said, but now he is not ready to argue with the domestic peace faction.
After killing two civil officials who opposed the aid of the Ming Dynasty to sacrifice flags, Zhao Kuangyin also issued a document accusing the Qin Dynasty of raising troops for no reason. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Xutuo to be the main general, Yuan Chonghuai as the deputy general, and Zhao Pu as the military advisor to lead an army of 100,000, as well as generals such as Shi Shouxin, Pan Mei, Gao Huaide, and Zhang Jun to go to Qingzhou to support the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin also sent envoys to the Wei and Song dynasties, and proposed that the Three Kingdoms be in the new capital of Qiao County, Wei, to form an alliance with blood and formally form the anti-Qin alliance of the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties to show the desire of the Three Kingdoms to jointly resist the Qin Dynasty.
After Cao Cao and Zhu Di learned about it, they naturally had no reason to refuse.
Zhu Di sent Zhu Yunwen as an envoy to join the alliance on his behalf, while Zhao Kuangyin sent Zhao Defang to him.
As for Cao Cao, as the host, he naturally participated in it himself.
The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu made an appointment to be King Xiang of Shouchun, and the Qin Dynasty sent five great masters to come, named Guards, and were actually causing trouble.
In order to prevent the scene from happening again, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties sent a grandmaster to prevent the Qin Dynasty from sending a grandmaster to make trouble again.
In addition, Zhao Kuangyin also asked Shen Gongbao and Zhao Gongming to invite the Shura Sect leader Kuigang to come and stay in the venue.
The more chaotic the soil is, the more suitable the development of the demonic path. Most of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains were eliminated due to war, and then the major forces fought endlessly, so this place naturally became a paradise for the demonic path.
This also caused the Central Plains region, in addition to the three-legged tripod, there was also the interweaving of the two realms and demons.
The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming Dynasty did not think about eliminating the demonic path, but the difficulty and resistance were too great, and there were external threats, so it was naturally left unresolved. Then they even changed their strategies, changed to persuasion, or even recruited them. Therefore, the relationship between the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains and the major sects of the Demonic Path was pretty good.
As the leader of the Shura Sect, Kui Gang learned about Shen Gongbao''s intention of this trip. After some thought, due to the Three Kingdoms'' care for the Shura Sect, he agreed to go to Qiao County to take charge.
But Kui Gang''s prerequisite is that only when Da Qin sent a master of the quasi-half step Xuan realm, he would help him, but if two of them came, he would not take this risk, and he would not interfere with the war between the Three Kingdoms and Qin.
In this regard, Shen Gongbao was naturally full of words. After all, no matter what the result was, I would fool Kui Gang first and survive this level.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming Dynasty were worried that the Qin Dynasty would send masters to destroy the Three Kingdoms Alliance, so they even invited Kui Gang, a master of the quasi-half-step Xuan Realm.
However, the Qin Ba was unable to formally form an alliance with the Three Kingdoms, so that he could send troops to attack Wei and Song dynasties with justification, so there was no need to send people to destroy the alliance.
Qiao County, in front of the altar of the alliance between the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu. Cao Cao, Zhao Defang and Zhu Yunwen jointly held the altar and said in unison: "Today, our Great Wei (Da Song and Ming dynasties) have formed an alliance here. From today on, we will share weal and woe, and will not fall, and the alliance will not disperse."
After saying that, the three of them put their hands into a **** basin, dipped their index finger, **** and ring finger with blood, and then applied them to their faces, completing the ritual step of the blood alliance, and knelt down on one knee at the altar, shouting in unison with the sky:
"The Emperor and Empress Dowager, bless me with the Great Wei (Song and Ming dynasties)."
Since then, the Anti-Qin Alliance of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties was officially established.
———————
The news that Wei and Song dynasties accused the Qin Dynasty of raising troops for no reason, and then sent troops to aid the Ming Dynasty, and also wanted to form a formal alliance in Qiao County. After it was transmitted back to the Qin Dynasty, it immediately aroused unanimous condemnation from all over the Qin Dynasty.
From officials and nobles to ordinary people, the Qin Dynasty was indignant of the accusations of the Wei and Song dynasties.
If the Ming Kingdom or Chu and Shu oppose the Qin Kingdom, the people of the Qin Kingdom would not be so angry. After all, these three countries were originally enemy countries.
But the Wei and Song dynasties are different. These two countries have always been allies of the Qin Dynasty. The two countries have picked up countless advantages after the Qin Dynasty, especially the Wei State. If it weren''t for the support of the Qin Dynasty, how could it be as strong as it is today.
But these two brothers of Daqin are now standing on the side of the Ming Kingdom, and in turn accusing Daqin, the eldest brother who has given them countless helps, and even directly sent troops to support the Ming Kingdom.
This kind of traitor who stabs the back is the most hated.
After the news spread, within just three days, tens of thousands of people spontaneously took to the streets to launch demonstrations and demonstrations against the Wei and Song dynasties in just three days.
Some people who were overly emotional directly smashed the shops opened by merchants from local Wei and Song dynasties, but after the smash, they were still unhappy and even injured innocent friends and bosses, which eventually led to many murders.
If the people smash shops to vent their emotions, the law will not punish the public and it will only be closed for a few days at most.
But if someone is beaten to death and a person is killed, it will be a crime of violating public security, but it will not be as simple as imprisonment for a few days.
For these mobs who use patriotism as a guise to release their negative emotions, the laws of the Qin Dynasty will naturally not protect them, and the Qin constables will not be ruthless at all. They will directly unify the prison for trial and then punish them depending on the severity of the circumstances.
The cities of each city have arrested many such people, which has calmed down the excited people, but it is still difficult to widely denounce the Wei and Song dynasties.
But if you want to parade the streets and condemn the two traitors of Wei and Song, you must be the most professional people in the imperial capital Luoyang.
As the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Luoyang is the best place for public security. The city is full of soldiers, constables and Jinyiwei. Naturally, the people of Luoyang dare not act as chaotic as those of the people from other places.
In addition, even if the people of Luoyang have only a slight understanding of the criminal security of the Qin Dynasty, some students from various university palaces have promoted the law to them and told them what they could do and what they could not do, so they naturally would not do illegal things such as smashing shops or even beating people to death.
Under the leadership of some students from various university palaces, the people of Luoyang took to the streets in an organized and disciplined manner to parade to the traitors of Wei and Song betrayal of the covenant, thus forming a series of beautiful scenery.
"Cao Wei is unrighteous, and Zhao Song is shameless."
"Severely punish Wei and Song dynasties to face the eyes and hear the truth."
Every slogan sounds, there will be a response immediately, and waves of sounds resound throughout Luoyang City.
At the beginning, the slogans shouted by the people were normal, and they were all declaring and denounced the Wei and Song dynasties.
But as the situation developed, the people changed their slogans and turned into "Abolish the Five Concubines and attack the Wei and Song dynasties."
The five concubines mentioned by the people are naturally the princesses of the Wei and Song dynasties, namely: Zhao Ling''er, Su Daji, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Xiahou Qingyi.
The Wei and Song dynasties oppose the Qin Dynasty, driven by life and death and interests. They have nothing to do with Zhao Ling''er and other five girls, but the people scolded Ying Hao''s five concubines.
This is obviously a dissatisfaction with the Wei and Song dynasties, and he vented his anger on Zhao Ling''er and other five women, and he also used public opinion to kidnap policies. This is not a good sign.
Luoyang Imperial Palace, in the North Palace.
Emperor Ying Hao of the Great Qin, as well as the five demon concubines including Zhao Ling''er and Su Daji, also heard the condemnation of the people outside the imperial city.
The four girls Zhao Ling''er, Su Daji, Cao Xian and Cao Jie all looked pale and felt a little uneasy. Only Xiahou Qingyi, who had been following Ying Hao for the longest, looked calm.
As for Ying Hao, his face was covered in coldness, and he was obviously really angry.
This anger is naturally not directed at Zhao Ling''er and other five girls, but rather those students with bad intentions who guide public opinion and attempt to bind national policies.
The second imperial examination in Daqin is about to begin, and those wealthy scholars usually come to Luoyang in advance to adapt.
Originally, these officials were all fair competition, but this Wei and Song rebellion incident gave those people who were not strong enough but wanted high school students to take advantage of their opportunities.
They felt that if they performed well in this condemnation of the people, it would be considered as a relief for the country. If they entered the sight of senior officials in the court in advance, it would obviously be a plus for the next imperial examination, but they did not know that the behavior that the top leaders disliked the most.
"Ye Xiao, I will take out all those who will lead the hatred of Wei Song to the Five Concubines, and I will find out all of them." Ying Hao ordered coldly.
