The situation in Jiangdong collapsed so quickly and completely that to be honest, even Shen Zhezi himself was quite unexpected, as if the dominoes had been toppled by the first one, and then the uncontrollable series of collapses began.

The collapse of the situation to this point seems unexpected, but under careful examination, it is actually unreasonable. Although the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stood on the surface of the river, it was difficult to get rid of the fetal disease, and its name was Zhongxing, but in fact it was just a variant graft that forced Gou An.

After the establishment of the Zhongxing system, not only did the various accumulated shortcomings inherited from China and the DPRK not be eliminated, but also increased the serious pressure of border troubles and the regional conflict between the north and the south, and these problems, no matter which one broke out, was enough to cut a prosperous dynasty in half.

In the current situation, it can be said that there are no smart people, and it is not without coping strategies in the face of various problems. For example, Wang Dun and Wang Dao of the Langya Wang clan respectively represent the suppression and maintenance of imperial power, and at the same time, they are also consciously suppressing and quoting the power of the Wu people. As for Yu Liang, he is a representative of the rule of law, especially the suppression of the power of the king, which can be called ruthless.

In the middle period, in fact, both Huan Wen and Yin Hao, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, although there are huge differences in merits, can be called representatives of outward exploration. But when Huan Wen became unusually large, the stability maintenance faction represented by Xie An and Wang Tanzhi came to the fore again to fight for a space for the regime to survive.

The Northern Expedition presided over by the Xie clan of Chen Jun should actually be said to be the aftermath dividend of the Battle of Weishui, and cannot be regarded as a formal pioneering spirit. Just like Shen Zhezi's victory in the Central Plains, it seems to be a brilliant victory, but when it comes to the real significance, it is actually not as good as Huaishang's defeat of Shi Hu's southern expedition in the early years, and the victory of Huaishui can be regarded as the logical starting point for all his future actions.

In fact, after Xie An retired, the institutional logic of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty regime could no longer be deduced. Keeping to oneself behind closed doors will only bring about self-destruction, and opening up outward will cause strong branches and weak cadres, and the powerful ministers will dominate the master, and moving is a death, and not moving is also a death.

Therefore, throughout the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fang Bo besieged the center, the king of the sect took power, and the Heavenly Master Dao with the northern and southern inferior clans as the main body rebelled, including Huan Xuan's exclusive usurpation and Liu Yu's resurgence of the Beifu military head, which was not a general trend of the collapse and collapse of this system.

The arrival of Shen Zhezi and what he has done in the past ten years have actually greatly accelerated the deduction of the logic of this system. The 100-year national fortune of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, on the surface, seems to be a situation in which the gate lords are in power, but in fact, it is not a process in which the military leaders and inferior clans continue to challenge the highest power.

Up to now, almost all the kings of Jiangbei are in the hands of Shen Zhezi, and his southerner background and identity as the son-in-law of the first emperor are enough to win the support of those inferior scholars and poor families in the north and south. The pressure of border troubles has been greatly alleviated in the hands of Shen Zhezi, and the regional contradictions between the north and the south have also been eased and blended in Shen Zhezi.

According to the normal development logic of things, if Shen Zhezi wants to make some moves next, he will inevitably touch the most fundamental shortcomings of Jin Zuo's order, that is, the forbidden areas that the previous Taifu did not dare to touch because of their backgrounds.

Therefore, it is inevitable that all parties in Jiangdong will be wary of Shen Zhezi, if they do not have this kind of awareness and plan until now, they will say that they are stupid. But what the Jiangdong parties do not realize is that many problems seem to have been solved, but that is not a normal solution, and Shen Zhezi himself is the solution to these problems.

Shen Zhezi knows very well that the Eastern Jin Dynasty seems to have been established for more than 30 years, but in fact it is a deformed familiar body that has evolved from the continuous expansion of the two Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of all kinds of characteristics that the door valve reflects such tenacious vitality, the north and south split for hundreds of years of turmoil, can be described as surging, the emperor is like a horse watching the flowers, but when all the dust settles, when the prosperity comes, these gate valves may not be as tenacious as the beginning, but they still stubbornly exist.

The so-called gate valve is not so much a specific existence, but a naturally generated resource collection method at this stage of social development, and the whole society is where the real focus is, the so-called four gate valves, the so-called five surnames and seven hopes, but they are just cancerous cells that are bred from this, even if they are eliminated, there will be new individuals to replace them.

In fact, the voices that have asked to cross the river recently, not to mention Xi Tan alone, all aspects of Jiangdong are also sending people to ask, and this voice within the Governor's Mansion is even stronger. As the situation in Jiangdong is getting out of control day by day, the various performances of the Taifu in this process can also be said to be very clumsy, and Shen Zhezi is also becoming more and more of that kind of momentum, the so-called north and south Shishu are looking up to Liang Gong in power.

But the more he reached this moment, the more Shen Zhezi had to force himself to calm down, he needed to figure out what kind of intentions those who asked for it through him, and selectively accept it, instead of being bound by these so-called hometown wishes. Wang Mang was also a living saint when he was not usurped, and Dong Zhuo's first entry into Luoyang was also like the savior of Han Zuo.

The current Shen Zhezi is indeed very strong, but the so-called strength or not is actually a feeling, not a fact. There are drastic changes in the army, and there is a worry about the rise and fall of popularity, and the reason why you are strong will eventually form a countermeasure to you.

Jin Zuo is in this dead end, Shen Zhezi can't save it, and he doesn't want to save it. He has never been shy about acknowledging Su Zu's kindness to him, but what he can do for the Jinzuo court is to provide him with a decent exit, not just to settle in Jiangdong, and eventually fight to the death, leaving a shameful posture forever.

Everyone thinks that Shen Zhezi's strength lies in the hundreds of thousands of heroes in Jiangbei, but at least at this stage, what can really provide him with greater help is his father Shen Chong's firm grasp of the hometown. Because he has a deep foundation in the land of Sanwu, Shen Zhezi can wait calmly, instead of abandoning the Jiangbei situation and returning to Jiangdong as soon as Jiangdong is turbulent, like Liu Yu in the later generations.

The so-called chaos in Gangdong is still controlled around Gyeonggi, and what has collapsed is mainly the ruling structure of the upper echelons.

Shen Zhezi's most rational approach should actually be to remain silent all the time, keep leading but not starting, wait until the last trace of strength is tossed in the turmoil, and then calmly cross the river, according to his own mind, restructure the central upper ruling order.

But after all, he still didn't have patience, and made a statement in the face of Xi Tan's questioning, only to take the king's edict as his order, and as soon as the edict was ordered to cross the river, he immediately crossed the south to set the situation.

The reason why he was so unstable was also because he had just received the news in the morning, and even the guards guarding Stone Town had mutinied, and all kinds of remarks criticizing the emperor's immorality and wanting to abolish the temptation to establish a test were full of the capital.

Moreover, the Jianping Garden, where the emperor and the empress dowager temporarily lived, was also surrounded by strong people, and even Jiangbei's intelligence officers in Jiankang could not investigate the situation inside, but it was definitely not a good sign.

Shen Zhezi is rational most of the time, but he can't be completely exempt from human affection, whether it is Su Zu's kindness or taking care of the relationship between husband and wife, he can no longer be silent, and he can't sit back and watch the emperor and the queen mother in such an isolated and dangerous situation, so he first spoke out as support.

With Shen Zhezi's statement, after the emperor's unification, there will be tens of thousands of kings in Jiangbei to rely on, no matter which side controls the emperor, it must be worshipped, otherwise after Shen Zhezi crosses the river, he will inevitably be driven out as the first evil!

It was the only aid he could do for the Emperor without disrupting his immediacy rhythm. If they really send troops across the river in an eagerness to judge the situation, then it is unpredictable what kind of excesses the various parties in Jiangdong will make in their eagerness, and it will increase the danger of the emperor and the empress dowager.

After completing the ceremony of suburban sacrifice and persuasion of farmers in the morning, Shen Zhezi returned to Guangling City, and soon in the afternoon, Du He and other important officials of the Governor's Mansion arrived in Guangling, along with the 3,000 Shouchun defenders.

Previously, Shen Zhezi announced that the 100,000 royal divisions were ready to go, but in fact, he was also bragging, and the royal divisions such as Heluo, Fangtou, and Qingyan could not be mobilized.

The only military strength he can use at the moment is the newly recruited Fenwu Army, the new recruits of the Guangling Military Government, and the 3,000 reinforcements brought by Du He, all of which add up to barely more than 10,000 people.

Of course, if the situation really needs it, between the counties and counties of Huainan, including Xuyi, Huaiyin and other places, another 20,000 to 30,000 reinforcements can be levied within ten months, but in Shen Zhezi's opinion, this is not necessary.

Duhe and others arrived because they would set the trend in the south later, which would inevitably involve a lot of adjustments in the current situation. At that time, the center had completely collapsed, and Shen Zhezi no longer needed to avoid being interfered too much with the imperial court in the layout of Jiangbei, so a considerable number of subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion should enter Taiwan to govern affairs.

And those who followed Du He, in addition to the subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion, there was also a special person, that is, Murong Ke, the proton of Liaodong.

Bringing Murong Ke to Guangling was personally instructed by Shen Zhezi. Although Liaodi is far away, it has nothing to do with the current situation in Jiangdong.

But in the near future, Shen Zhezi will definitely go south to cross the river, and he doesn't know how long he will stay after returning to Jiangdong, and the reconstruction of Jiangdong will not go smoothly. Once he is trapped in Jiangdong for too long, Hebei Shihu will definitely learn the news of the changes in Jiangdong, and it is very likely that he will take advantage of the fact that Jiangbei is unmanned to wave his troops south.

In order to eliminate such a hidden danger, it is necessary for the Liaodong side to attract Shi Hu's military strength a little. Huainan's current communication channels with Liaodong are still very narrow, and the most direct way is naturally Murong Ke, the proton. (https:)
