Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

"Since Ma Chao and the others were defeated, no other force besides us can pose a huge threat to Zhang Lu, so there is really no reason why he was defeated by a foreign enemy. Could it be that he was overthrown by his own people? But this is simply impossible Bar!"

"The one who overthrew Zhang Lu was the leader of a group of refugee rebels."

Huang Yueying told the latest information with a serious face: "According to the information I just got, the person who killed him was a person named Li Xiong."

"Then things are a bit troublesome."

Roach's face suddenly darkened, because he knew that there was indeed such a person in history.

He should not have appeared so early in history.

But this world does not strictly follow the history that Roach knows, so even if this situation occurs, it is not incomprehensible.

Li Xiong is of course more difficult to deal with than Zhang Lu.

Because he was the founder of the country during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and the third son of Brazil's powerful leader Li Te.

Li Te was the leader of Ba Di during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Li Te lived in Brazil County for a long time, so he was called Ba Di. Historically, the ancestors of the Li family moved to Hanzhong to attach themselves to Zhang Lu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a severe famine in Guanxi, so people flocked to Shu to escape the chaos, and they were called "refugees".Li Te and his brothers Li Xiang and Li Liu were also among the refugees.

Because Li Texiong was good at riding and shooting, and Shen Yi was generous, he was elected as the leader by the refugees.

Li Te led his troops to attach themselves to Yizhou governor Zhao Lian, but soon Zhao Lian killed his younger brother Li Xiang and became enmity.

Li Xiang's death is actually a pity.

When Li Xiang was in the Western Jin Dynasty, he served as the postal governor and chief bookkeeper of the county. He was known as a good official, good at riding and shooting, and had extraordinary physical strength. Current commentators compared him to Wen Yang, so he was recommended by the state to be the cavalry governor of the Chinese army.After Empress Jia seized power, Li Xiang resigned from office due to illness.

Li Xiang was a good-natured man and often helped the poor, and the people in the state relied on him wholeheartedly.After following the refugees to Shu, Li Xiang won the respect of Zhao Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and said that he was related to Zhang Zhiyong.Zhao Yan had the ambition to separate the Shu territory and appointed Li Xiang as his confidant, but he was very afraid of him in his heart and soon had him killed for treason.

After Li Xiang died, an angry Li Te mobilized his troops to attack Chengdu.

Forced by Luo Shang, the newly appointed governor of Yizhou, Li Te finally officially led the refugees to rebel, calling himself Yizhou Mu, and attacked Luo Shang. He died in battle two years later.

After Li Te died, Li Liu stood up.

Li Liu is the younger brother of Li Te and Li Xiang. He is good at riding and shooting, and is known as having the courage to teach.After Li Te rebelled, he appointed Li Liu as the general in Zhendong, often leading elites to fight against Luo Shang.

After Li Te's death in battle, the refugees were in great disarray and there were many rebels. Li Liu picked up the remaining defeated soldiers and took over his brother's tribe, thus regaining his momentum.

But in the year when he regained his momentum, Li Liu died of illness.

The position of leader of the refugees fell into the hands of Li Xiong, Li Te's son.

Li Xiong was from Danqu, Brazil, and later moved to Lueyang.After Li Te led the refugees to revolt, he made Li Xiong the former general.

After Li Te was killed by Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, his successor Li Liu also died of illness soon. Li Xiong continued to lead the refugees in the name of the governor, expelled Luo Shang, captured Chengdu, and claimed to be the king of Chengdu, Jianyuan Jianxing.

In this process, Li Xiong has always used Fan Changsheng as his mastermind.

Fan Changsheng joined Tianshi Tao in his early years and lived in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time. Because of his erudition and talents, he became the leader of Tianshi Tao in Chengdu.Li Te led the refugees from Guanzhong into Shu and attacked Luo Shang. Soon his brothers died one after another.When the Li family was in crisis, Fan Changsheng provided food and grass support to help the refugee army regain its prestige.

Li Xiong proclaimed himself queen, and worshiped the 88-year-old Fan Changsheng as prime minister. Fan Changsheng advised Li Xiong to proclaim him the honorary title, and told him to recuperate, develop religions with limited gifts, and never resort to militarism.Later, Fan Changsheng passed away at the age of [-]. His descendants built a temple for him in Qingcheng Mountain and respected him as the "Emperor of Immortality".

And Li Xiong became the real emperor.

After Li Xiong ascended the throne as emperor, the country's title was greatly achieved.

The feudal regime of the Li family was established in the struggle of the refugees from the six counties against the Jin Dynasty. There was no dignity for the country, no salary and rank for the officials, no distinction in class order, and no distinction between the uniforms of gentlemen and villains.However, Li Xiong respected himself and loved others, and promoted his talents through teaching and employment. He also promoted culture and education, established academic officials, kept the rules and regulations simple, and his politics was relatively clear.

Li Xiong also paid great attention to the development of production. The taxes and servitude were light, with men receiving three hu of dendrobium per year and women with one hu of dendrobium and five dou per year. For the sick, the amount was reduced by half. The amount of silk produced by each household was no more than a few feet, and the amount of cotton was no more than a few taels.He sent envoys to the Eastern Jin Dynasty many times to pay tribute and generals to expand the territory.

After Li Xiong died, the throne was succeeded by his elder brother Li Dang's son Li Ban.

This matter was opposed by Li Xiang.

Li Xiang is also the younger brother of Li Te and Li Xiang.After Li Xiong became emperor, Li Xiang was named Taifu and was in charge of the conquest.Li Xiang attacked Fucheng in the north and captured the counties of Zitong and Basi. He conquered Yuexi in the south and surrendered its governor, expanded the territory of Chenghan, and was promoted to general for his merits.

Li Xiong wanted to make his brother Li Dang's son Li Ban his heir, but Li Xiang refused to obey. Later, Li Ban succeeded to the throne and triggered a series of coups. As a result, Li Xiang's son Li Shou won the throne and was given the posthumous title of Li. Xiang is dedicated to the emperor.

This incident has to be said to be very ironic and hilarious.

But Roach couldn't laugh now.

Because the Li family is obviously much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Lu. The main reason is that this family has a lot of talents who can fight. Each of them is either related to Zhang Zhiyong or some little Sun Ce. Although these titles must be a bit exaggerated. But if they can get these titles, they will still have more or less two brushes.

The most important thing is not that they can fight, the main problem is their will to fight.

Historically, before the establishment of the Li family into the Han Dynasty, it can be said that it has not been very smooth. Both Li Te and Li Xiang died at the hands of others before they started their business. The newly established Li Liu also died of illness soon. In this The strength of the refugee rebel army in this stage can be said to be uncertain, and its future is also very gloomy.

But even in this situation, the Li family did not give up the fight.

After receiving Fan Changsheng's food and grass support, they even took over Shu in one fell swoop and established Chenghan. Compared with Zhang Lu, who could only sit back and guard, the Li family's starting conditions were much worse, but They eventually rose up and achieved greater glory than Zhang Lu.

Although this glory was short-lived, it was still glorious.

If the Li family has really taken Hanzhong, they will definitely point their sword at Shuzhong. Although judging from the situation in Shuzhong that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will not be easy for them to win Shuzhong, but For the current Roach, there is still a sense of crisis.

"It seems we need to speed up the progress."

Luo Qi frowned and said: "And I'm afraid Hanzhong is no longer determined by propaganda. If Hanzhong has indeed been captured by the Li family, then we can only bite this hard nut."

"Otherwise, let's put them last."

Huang Yueying suggested: "We can take Jiangzhou directly along the waterway, and then conquer Shu first."

"This is also a way."

Luo Qi pondered: "But we still can't be too hasty, otherwise if Liu Zhang is really pushed into a hurry, he might take the initiative to lead the Li family into Shu to fight against us, and then we are paving the way for the Li family. "
