Chapter 2661 Wang Jian and Yingzhou pick all the heroes, and Qin declared war on Wei and Song
Chapter 2658: Wang Jian and Yingzhou pick all the heroes, and Qin declare war on Wei and Song
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming were already prepared to start a war with the Qin Dynasty, and they would first join forces to expel Qin''s forces from Yingzhou.
With Yingzhou as a backing, the potential of the Three Kingdoms War in the Central Plains will become stronger, and the confidence to repel the Qin army will naturally be greater.
Therefore, since the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Ming Dynasty and the Wei and Song dynasties took sides with the Ming Dynasty, the situation in Yingzhou immediately became treacherous.
After all, at this time, Zhou Yu, the governor of Yingzhou of the Great Qin Dynasty, had led his army to leave Yingzhou. Without the intimidation of Zhou Yu, a famous general of the Great Qin Dynasty, many local forces in Yingzhou had other ideas, and some even blatantly violated the ban and their intention to rebel against Qin was obvious.
The attitude of Qin Zheng, the governor of Yingzhou of the Great Qin Dynasty, was extremely tough. No matter the reason, if one kills another, he would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
These local forces in Yingzhou who were intending to restore the country had just emerged and were strongly suppressed by Qin Zheng. Nearly a thousand people were arrested and publicly beheaded on Mount Fuji.
With Qin Zheng''s order, thousands of heads fell to the ground, and naturally there were 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 served as the governor of Yingzhou, he has always shown himself as a kind and elegant person. However, with the collective beheading of Mount Fuji, his good image suddenly disappeared and 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 tribes including Katsushima, Otomo, Tachiha, Hojo, Sanada, Maori also announced their swearing to defend the rule of the Qin Dynasty to the death. All anti-Qin behaviors were like rebellion, and all anti-Qin people were publicly arrested.
Now the anti-Qin people within the jurisdiction of Daqin will not only be arrested by Daqin, but also pursued by local forces. They have nowhere to hide, and can only escape from the jurisdiction of Daqin and surrender to other forces.
Qin Zheng temporarily shocked the local forces of Yingzhou with iron-blooded means. It was not until Wang Jian took office as the governor that the wave of anti-Qin was completely stopped.
Although the local forces in Yingzhou in the territory of Daqin have bound their interests with Daqin, the Qin ruled in Yingzhou for too short, and these forces have not completely returned to their hearts, so they will naturally not be loyal to Daqin. If they have the chance to restore the country, they will not mind rebelling against Qin.
But under the shock of Qin Zheng''s **** methods, Uesugi and Hojo also stood on the side of the Qin Dynasty. In addition, Wang Jian, a famous general who conquered Japanese troops, would not cause trouble in either the Qin army or the Qin army.
This also made those local forces with anti-Qin realize that even if they rebel, they would not have much effect, so they naturally did not dare to openly rebel against Qin.
Although Qin Zheng and Wang Jian shocked the inside, they were helpless against the external forces outside the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, although the troops of the Wei, Song and Ming garrisons in Yingzhou had not yet started a war against Qin directly, the subordinate forces of the Three Kingdoms continued to provoke the Qin Dynasty to test the reality of the Qin Dynasty.
Whether it is Qin Zheng or Wang Jian, they all know that there must be no concessions, otherwise the other party will only make progress. Therefore, for these forces that dare to provoke, they cut off the other party''s minions without hesitation, and this move completely intensified the conflicts within Yingzhou.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, Toyotomi Hideyoshi who inherited the will of Oda Nobunaga, as well as more than ten local forces including Takeda, Ida, Imakawa, and Otomo, were preparing to jointly launch an attack on the five counties of Yingzhou under the Qin Dynasty.
Among the four islands of Yingzhou, the largest Benzhou Island was jointly occupied by the five countries of Qin, Wei, Song, Wu and Ming, among which the Qin Kingdom occupied nearly half of the territory.
Jiuzhou Island was divided by Qin, Wei, Song and Wu, while the most barren islands of the Four Kingdoms and Hokkaido were owned by Ming.
The Qin Dynasty had five counties and thirty counties in Yingzhou.
After Qin Zheng served as the governor of Yingzhou, he established Kanto County (six counties) and Kanto County (six counties) in the Kanto Plain of the Prefecture, Hokuriku County (five counties) in the Echigo Plain, Xihai County (eight counties) in the western part of the Prefecture, and Shanyang County (five counties) on Kyushu Island.
The area occupied by the Qin Dynasty in Yingzhou is the most important area, both population and resources, but these five counties are not connected.
Xihai County is in the westernmost part of the prefecture, while Shanyang County is located on Jiuzhou Island.
Once the Qin Dynasty and the Central Plains turn against each other, although the three counties in the core area of ??Kanto and Echizen are not afraid of the forces joining forces, the two counties and thirteen counties that are hanging outside may not be able to withstand the siege of various forces.
The result was not as expected by Wang Jian and Qin Zheng. After the war with the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, Xihai and Shanyang were indeed besieged by the local forces of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, as well as Yingzhou.
Although Wang Jian and Qin Zheng had expected this, there was no bad solution. They could only order Zhang Han to guard Xihai County and Di Qing to guard Shanyang County, and to guard the land of these two counties as much as possible.
At the same time, Wang Jian will also lead 50,000 infantry, 20,000 navy troops, and 100,000 Qin military troops, totaling 170,000 troops to fight against the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties and more than a dozen local forces in Yingzhou.
The war broke out between the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties and the local forces of Yingzhou to expel the Qin Dynasty had little to do with the Wu Kingdom, but the Wu Kingdom was also a major force in Yingzhou. The entire Yingzhou power participated in it, so the Wu Kingdom naturally could not be immune to it.
If Wu stands on the side of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, the chances of victory of the Central Plains will increase greatly, but if he stands on the side of the Qin Dynasty, it will not be good news for the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains.
Therefore, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains and the Qin Dynasty were all trying their best to win over the Wu army, hoping to pull the Wu Kingdom into its own camp.
Qin is a little better. Even if it cannot win over Wu, at least it must keep Wu neutral.
But the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were much more radical, and they actually forced Wu to stand on their own side. They were even ready to annex the territory of Wu in Yingzhou once the Wu refused.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty in Yingzhou is mainly distributed in the eastern part of Honshu Island, as well as the two islands of Shikoku and Hokkaido, and most of them are unmanned wild places.
The territory of Wei, Song and Wu in Yingzhou was also considered the essence of Yingzhou before being harmed by them.
But like the situation in Daqin, their territory is not all connected.
The territory of Wei, Song and Wu in Yingzhou is intertwined. You have me and I have you, and I have you, and we are also closer to each other.
Therefore, once the three countries of Wei, Song and Ming team up to attack Wu, Wu will be at an absolute disadvantage and will not even have the strength to fight back. At present, the territory of Wu in Yingzhou has been blocked by the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties. Once Wu refuses to join the Three Kingdoms camp, it will be immediately divided by the Wei, Song and Ming dynasties and the local forces of Yingzhou.
This is also the main reason why He Qi was unable to comply with Sun Quan''s orders and brought the Yingzhou garrison and Wu Xiejun back to the Wu State.
The Wu State had a total of 15,000 troops in Yingzhou and 45,000 Wu''s military troops, and these 60,000 troops were led by the left and right governors respectively.
The right governor is He Qi, who is responsible for guarding the territory of Wu''s territory, while the left governor Lu Meng, who is responsible for guarding the Wu''s colony on Jiuzhou Island.
He Qi is Sun Quan''s person, while Lu Meng is Sun Ce''s person.
Lu Meng''s luck was better than Sun Wu, Sun Bin and others. He was not beaten to the end by Sun Quan, but was exiled to Jiuzhou Island and served as the left governor of Yingzhou, Wu State.
Like He Qi, Lu Meng received letters from Sun Ce and Sun Quan, as well as threats from the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, and was also unable to bring the troops in his hands back to Wu.
But Lu Meng made a completely opposite decision to He Qi.
He Qi was worried that the territory of Wu in this state would be divided by the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, as well as the local forces of Yingzhou, so he had to choose to join the anti-Qin alliance.
Compared with He Qi in this state, Lu Meng''s situation in Jiuzhou is much safer.
First of all, the territory of Wu in the southern part of Jiuzhou is connected, not like the territory of our province, one piece and one piece, so even if the Wei and Song dynasties attack, they still have the power to protect themselves.
Secondly, the Japanese local forces on Kyushu Island are weak, and the strongest Shimazu, Otomo and Shimazu, were also recovered by Qin and Wu respectively, so there is no need to worry about the counterattack of Japanese local forces.
It is precisely because of these two points, and Lu Meng knew that He Qi would definitely join the anti-Qin alliance, after all, he had no other way.
The Wu Kingdom is now in a state of division and has been invaded by the Chu Kingdom. If he offended the Qin Dynasty at this time, then the Eastern Wu would be completely isolated and helpless.
Therefore, in order not to completely offend Daqin, Lu Meng chose to stand on the side of Daqin in the name of Sun Ce and help Daqin fight against the anti-Qin alliance.
When the Yingzhou War broke out completely, an extremely dramatic scene occurred, that is, the power of the Wu Kingdom in Yingzhou was divided into two like the local area.
He Qi, who was in charge of this prefecture, joined the anti-Qin alliance camp on behalf of Sun Quan, while Lu Meng, who was in charge of this prefecture, joined the Great Qin camp on behalf of Sun Ce.
Whether it is the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains or the Qin Dynasty, the Eastern Wu will help, and no one will be offended.
Kuzhou Island, Zhang Han and Lu Meng joined forces with Shimazu and Oto to fight against the Wei and Song Jiuzhou coalition forces, the four garrisons of the Ming Dynasty, and the joint forces of the Japanese local forces.
Honshu Island, Wang Jian and Qin Zheng joined forces with Kenshin Uesugi, Xue Hanamichi, as well as many major tribes such as Maori and Hojo to fight against the coalition forces of the Wei, Song, Wu and Ming, and the United Army of the Japanese restoration forces headed by Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
For a time, the four islands of Yingzhou were filled with beacons and wars continued.
Whether it is the five countries of Qin, Wei, Song, Ming, Wu, or the local forces headed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, they obviously do not care about the lives and death of the natives of Yingzhou. Therefore, the fierceness and tragic level of this battle was even greater than the Japanese war three years ago, and they seemed to be trying to make Yingzhou a piece of white land.
After this battle, the number of native natives in Yingzhou may be further reduced, but this is not a bad thing for the Qin Dynasty. After all, the smaller the number of natives, the faster the speed of completely assimilating Yingzhou.

Sizhou, Luoyang.
"Lord, candidates who participated in the deception of the people have been arrested by the Jinyiwei, and these people will be sentenced to a sentence ranging from one to three months, and have been deprived of the qualification for this imperial examination." Guo Jiahui reported.
Candidates bewitching the people and slandering the concubines. Such crimes can be big or small, but they are only imprisoned for three months at most. Such punishment is obviously not serious.
For candidates, prison is nothing, but they are deprived of their qualifications for the examination. If they miss this examination, they can only wait for another three years.
You should know that many poor candidates have to empty their homes and save money to take out the fees to support themselves in a scientific examination.
So, if you miss this imperial examination, you may not be able to participate in the imperial examination in your life.
For them, losing the qualification to the imperial examination is much heavier than being in three months.
"How do you punish the disciples of the aristocratic families who led this incident?" Ying Hao asked.
"The eighteen disciples of the aristocratic families who were led were sentenced to three years of imprisonment and were permanently deprived of the imperial examination qualification." Guo Jia replied.
Ying Hao nodded, and was quite satisfied with such a punishment. After all, these eighteen children of aristocratic families have caused trouble for this class of civilian candidates.
Because of more than a dozen of them, hundreds of poor candidates were deprived of their exam qualifications, including many ordinary children who are well-educated and are likely to be able to pass the exam.
Among the civilian candidates, there were many people who were directly deprived of the examination qualifications. Now, the number of civilian children who passed the second scientific examination will probably be much smaller than that of the first.
After experiencing incidents such as the people paraded the streets to denounce the Wei and Song dynasties, and the officials bewitched the people, the Qin Dynasty also decided to send troops to the Wei and Song dynasties, and the first thing was to declare war on the Wei and Song dynasties.
