Chapter 132: The Enemy Is Within the Xiao Wall (Part I)

This is the case in troubled times, but fortunately, at this time, the chaotic and strife Zhuxia has not yet had a large enough external enemy.

The reform of the stirrup and infantry military system, and the innovation of new crop agricultural technology, made Zhuxia to a certain extent linked, and the conquest between the kingdoms was no longer a matter between the two countries.

The survival of a small country cannot be determined by itself, or even by a country that cannot be the main attacker.

In the city of Xinzheng, the siege of the city was on the twenty-seventh day.

Wei Han increased his troops again and mobilized a larger number of artillery, so that the speed of the soldiers and civilians in the city to repair the city wall could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

But the city still insisted, and the people were hoping for a hope, a hope that by driving out Wei Han, the monarch and nobles would be able to fulfill their contract and have a new life of their own.

Northwest of Xinzheng City.

This is the palace area of Zheng Guo and the location of the palace district, where the nobles lived in the northwest of the city, and the commoners and nobles were separated by a wall of the inner city.

The wall of Xinzheng only has a structure with a row wall and a horse face on the north side, because it is expensive to build a defensive system formed by this structure, especially with gunpowder, and the north side faces the palace city, so it is heavily protected.

Qinshui and Weishui form a "Y"-like intersection, and Zheng Guo's three sides are built on the Weishui Qinshui, which is much easier to defend.

This time, the main direction of attack of the Wei-Han coalition army was the northeast corner, and the northwest side was not so violently attacked.

At the west gate, a few yawning soldiers finally waited for their replacement, and after verification, a group of elite samurai took over the defense near the gate.

This is not the main direction of attack of the Wei and Han coalition forces, but there are still many Wei and Han soldiers stationed outside.

Outside is the burial area, the burial area of the nobles, and the Wei and Han coalition forces are not the Yan army that captured Linzi City decades later, and no one has made any "high opinions" such as "digging the ancestral graves in the city to intimidate the city and promote surrender".

This is not because the quality of the Wei and Han coalition forces is higher, but because there are still some Liumu nobles who fled after the Xinzheng coup d'état, and those burial areas are also their ancestral graves.

On the city wall, the Zheng soldiers after the handover and change of defense were waiting for an opportunity.

They are Zheng Jun's henchmen and Zheng Jun's vassals, which is also the capital that Zheng Junyi has been able to compete with the Si clan over the years.

In the previous few counterattacks to defend the city, Zheng Jun's private elites did not fully participate, but the private soldiers of those nobles suffered some heavy losses.

Now most of the city gates on this side are already Zheng Jun's henchmen, and the soldiers may not be, but most of the officers are.

Outside the palace, Zheng Junyi looked at the Zongmiao not far from the south side of the palace, and the reason he found for himself to open the city to welcome Wei Han seemed to be more reasonable.

Zheng Guo's initial fiefdom was not here, in Qindi, after the princes of the Beacon Opera, Zheng Guo migrated to the Central Plains, and finally chose the most favorable real Central Plains, and also relied on it to dominate.

After all the past, Zheng Junyi understood that Xinzheng's temple might have to be moved again, and Wei Han had promised to seal him to continue Zheng Zhi's sacrifice.

Che Gong, Ma Xiaoxiao, and Zheng Junyi took their elite forces, in the name of inspecting the city defense, and approached the west gate where their forces had been deployed.

The henchman in charge of liaising with Wei Han whispered, "Your Majesty, can you start?" ”

Zheng Junyi looked outside worriedly, not knowing whether Wei Han's side was ready to respond, and he didn't know whether Wei Han's side believed his words or not.

I'm afraid that if Wei Han feels that there is fraud here, and he leaks it again, it won't be good. If you can escape out of the city, it's fine, but if you fail, if the escape out of the city doesn't go well, I'm afraid that you will be smashed by the angry people and nobles.

But Zheng Junyi has no choice, and there is news that the Chu State has sent troops, and the Mo family has also sent troops.

And the most popular people in the city now, in addition to those ink people, are those who are facing the threat of death.

They knew that all they could rely on was the people of the city, and that Wei Han would not accept their surrender.

Because...... One of the reasons why Wei Han sent troops was to kill the king.

The reason for killing the monarch determined that in the coup d'état that year, they killed Zheng Xianggong, expelled the rest of the six Mu, and killed Dazai Xin, and they had only one way to die.

Otherwise, Wei Han, who pretended to kill the king's killer and manifest the way of heaven, accepted the surrender of the Yang Yu party, which was the biggest joke.

Moreover, after Zheng Guo was divided into three years, Wei and Han each got a part of the land, and the legal reason for this part of the land was that those Zheng nobles who fled took refuge in Wei Han with their fiefs.

Just like the coup d'état of Qi that year, Gongsun would stand in Liqiu, and the fief of Liqiu was Gongsun's, so in the end, the treaty after the Three Jin Dynasty and Qi stipulated that "Qi must not attack Liaqiu", not that Qi must not go to war with Wei Han again.

The current situation is the same, if Wei Han accepts the surrender of the Yang Yu party, then the part of the land of Zheng that was originally obtained according to this legal principle is likely to rebel.

Some of them are controlled by Wei Han, and some of them are still in the hands of the fugitive nobles of Zheng State.

It was precisely because of this threat of death that after listening to the advice of the Mo family that day, the Yang Yu party immediately killed the nobles who objected.

Later, he wantonly "bought" the people, not only taking out more money to reward those who defended the city and made meritorious contributions, but also made a bold statement that he would truly love the people in the future and grant fiefs to the people......

I don't know if it's true or not, but for now, Zheng Junyi understands that his position as a puppet is about to end.

Qi has opened a good start for the Tian clan to represent Qi, and the nobles of various countries are naturally learned: if it is the Spring and Autumn Period, there is also the matter of killing the monarch, but the killing of the monarch is basically killed by the combination of various countries, and now the Tian family is acting as Qi, not only are the countries not crusade, but the Wei State and Zhou Tianzi have come forward to ask for the name of the Tian family, so what else is there to fear about the nobles?

What Tian's did, I can't do it?

Moreover, Si Ziyang was indeed anti-Chu back then, and even led to the collective passive confrontation of the Zheng people before the battle of the army, and before the war started, they all ran to the city to wait for surrender.

But then the battle of Daliang City of Chu was defeated, and a large number of rulers and even central ministers died, and Chu chose to retract and lick the wounds.

After the coup d'état of Zheng Guo, the remaining six Mu, who were originally pro-Chu factions, rebelled out of the capital, and at that time, it was impossible to take refuge in the weak Chu State, so they could only take refuge in Wei Han.

And back then, Liumu was close to Chu, and it was just to fight against Si Ziyang. Si Ziyang is to find a chance for Zheng Guo to rise, he is not pro-Jin, you must know that the legitimacy of his coming to power stems from the fact that he has always advocated "revanchism" to wage war against Han, and used the contradictions of Wei, Chu and Han to find a way to rejuvenation.

Now if the Chu people enter the city, the Yang Yu Party will definitely take refuge in the Chu people, which Zheng Junyi knows.

After taking refuge in the Chu people, the Yang Yu Party was more powerful, and the people's voice was also high, so it was not difficult to replace it.

If it is the Mo family who leads the aid to Zheng, it will be needless to say.

Zheng Junyi didn't feel a trace of guilt in his heart, especially when he faced the Zongmiao just now, he inevitably wondered if he was sorry for the ancestors for doing this.

But after thinking about it, I felt that I had come to this point today because of the Mo family and the Yang Yu Party.

If the Mo family didn't hype up those strange morals, equality, rights, and so on, why should he worry about the people rebelling in the future?

If the Yang Yu Party didn't invite the people to buy the hearts of the people, and wanted to collude with the Chu State, and made him a puppet when he committed rebellion, why should he worry about the fact that Zheng Guo would also appear in the future when the Tian family represented Qi?

The more he thought about it, the more Zheng Junyi felt that what he did was right, what he did was righteous and awe-inspiring, what he was forced to do was helpless, and what he did was frank and unrestrained.

Finally, after muttering in his heart about his helplessness in doing this, Zheng Junyi came to the city and delivered his speech in a place where most of his henchmen lived.

The content of the speech is nothing more than a few sentences.

It is nothing more than the political d'état of Yang Yu back then, and he was promoted to the king in desperation, and he wanted to learn from the prince Lu Ning during the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng in Chu State, and sacrificed his life for righteousness.

But I thought of Mozi's words, Mozi said that what Prince Lu did back then was not benevolent and righteous, and he would go up to help the people if he had the ability; If you don't have the ability, then you can't bear it, thinking that you will be in power in the future and get rid of Bai Gongshengyun.

So he endured it for twenty years, just to wait for this day to kill the real rebels and thieves and the Yang Yu Party.

After the impassionedness, these great righteousness alone was certainly not enough to move everyone, so he spoke of more specific interests.

Everyone didn't know what he was planning, except for a few henchmen.

There are also some "gentlemen" who really think that Wei Han came to crusade because of Zheng Guo's murder of the king, so they believe that once the prince and the prince rise up and kill the Yang Yu party, then Wei Han will withdraw and continue to retain Zheng Guo's existence.

With this foundation, Zheng Junyi said that those who have made meritorious contributions can be promoted to middle doctors, corporals to sergeants, sergeants to sergeants, and ordinary people can be promoted to sergeants.

After these words, his henchmen thundered with joy, but there were also some peasants and soldiers who were preached by the Mo family.

According to their thoughts, for every taxi that was raised, someone had to work for that taxi.

A nobleman is an aristocrat, and a landlord is a landlord, it's not the same thing. The nobility of the nobility stems from the feudal obligations and labor rent of the people who own the fiefdom, and the nouveau riche who manages the land to get rich is not worthy of the nobility, even the shina is the lowest noble, and has fief jurisdiction and common people's control.

If, then, the land is to be distributed to the people, where will there be any scholars and doctors? Besides, even if there is land, then who will work on it?

As soon as he had the courage to open a question, he was beheaded by Zheng Junyi's henchmen and those nobles who had long been dissatisfied with the Mo family's propaganda policy, and were convicted of disturbing the morale of the army.

The armor soldiers are the pillar force here, and they are all from Zheng Jun, so they lit the flames and raised the smoke, opened the city gates, and set up a formation under the city to prevent the people in the city from discovering the situation and counterattacking.
