After rebirth, I became a national teacher

So they changed their plans.

He began to secretly incite and contact some imperial guards generals in Guangping City.

With the reputation of the Lord of Du'e in the capital, even the lower-level soldiers might not know about it, but the middle and upper-level generals had heard of it:

The God of Du'e can create thunder from the sky to strike people, causing them to die.

Even though they had not seen Lord Du'e in person, these people were actually a little nervous about facing the Du'e Army.

Once the Xie family told them about the current strength under the rule of Lord Du'e and the decline of the imperial court, these generals began to waver.

After all, the imperial court was in decline, and being loyal to it would not bring much benefit, and there was also the risk of losing one's life.

But the area under the rule of Lord Du'e is so prosperous.

Soon, a mutiny broke out among the imperial guards in Guangping City.

Some middle and upper-level generals instigated their soldiers to surround the commander's tent, and unexpectedly captured the commander of the imperial guards alive when they were caught off guard.

The Xie family also organized servants and common people to besiege the imperial guards who were loyal to the court from the outside.

After countless casualties, the Xie family took control of the entire Guangping City.

Then he crossed Hui'an and sent people to rush to Nando on horseback to ask for credit and surrender to the God of Du'e.

The imperial guards of Guangping City, as well as elite troops loyal to the court, escaped and hurried to report the news to Hejian Prefecture, which was heavily armed further north.

On the one hand, the Hejian garrison commander immediately wrote a letter to report to Emperor Yong'an, and on the other hand, he immediately summoned his subordinates and prepared to send troops to suppress the rebels in Guangping Prefecture to make an example of them.

However, there was another Hejian family that had the same idea as the Xie family of Guangping Prefecture.

With the precedent of Guangping Prefecture, why don’t they seize the time and take the initiative to show their loyalty to the God of Du’e? Do they have to wait for the God’s army to attack and confiscate all their property and exterminate their entire clan?

What's more, the God provided relief for the snow disaster and enjoyed great prestige among the people.

As long as people are sent to spread the word among the people, the God's Du'e Army will arrive at Daming Prefecture, three hundred miles away.

He also told them that the dead and wounded in the uprising in Daming Prefecture were all included in the Heroes Temple by the Du'e Military Honored One and received generous compensation.

It is enough to make these simple-minded people willingly sacrifice their lives and shed their blood in order to welcome the God!

So, the Hejian garrison commander led the imperial troops to the outskirts of Guangping City, and before they were ready to attack, a fire broke out in the rear.

A rebellion also broke out in Hejian Prefecture.

Several major families in Hejian directly became the leaders of the uprising army, and joined forces with their own people in the imperial army.

Not only did he defeat the remaining imperial guards and take control of Hejian City, he even sent troops to pursue the imperial guards led by the Hejian garrison commander who was attacking Guangping Prefecture.

The big family in Hejian got in touch with the Xie family in Guangping.

Guangping also began to send troops to meet the enemy, and cooperated internally and externally to encircle and suppress the imperial guards led by the garrison commander of Hejian Prefecture.

When Hui'an learned the news, the two sides had already fought each other in the area between Hejian and Guangping Prefecture.

She quickly activated the communication talisman and reported the news to Chen Qingzhu.

However, Chen Qingzhu left the palace and went into seclusion at this time.

She is at the critical moment of breaking through to the foundation-building stage and cannot tolerate any disturbance from the outside world.

Feeling that the situation was now stable, he left some means for Rong Niang and important subordinates to protect themselves, and also gave them communication talismans to contact him urgently.

There wasn't much risk in her being gone for a month without anyone knowing.

Therefore, the news eventually reached the cabinet.

There was considerable controversy within the cabinet over how the matter was handled.

The old-school bureaucrats headed by Yan Qingzhi believed that this matter would greatly benefit the expansion of the Divine Lord's territory.

Not only should the big families who mobilize the people not be punished, they should also be given appropriate rewards.

The reformist party led by Yuan Songbo believed that since the God had made such a statement, such behavior should be stopped in time and wait until the God returned to take charge of the situation.

Finally, the young master Chen Rong made the decision. Since the incident had already happened, it would be better to use punishment as a way to gain some benefits for the sacrificed civilians and soldiers.

Therefore, Nandu quickly conveyed the cabinet's order to Guangping and Hejian:

Since General Hui'an had already conveyed the Lord God's intention to the Xie family, and the Xie family knowingly violated the rules, the Xie family should be punished by paying double compensation for all the dead and injured civilians and imperial guards.

Hejian was not guilty of ignorance, but the deaths and injuries of the people had already occurred, and they had to pay compensation to all the dead and injured people and the imperial guards according to the standards of the Du'e Army.

In addition, the Du'e Army will conduct a review, and any fraud will be severely punished.

This is a happy outcome.

The civilians and imperial guards who died or were injured in the uprising following the great families received generous compensation.

The big families who rebelled would lose a large sum of money. After learning a lesson, others who wanted to follow suit would be more cautious and would no longer regard the lives of the common people and soldiers as worthless.

But at the same time, the loss was just financial, which was acceptable to the rebel clans.

After all, a fine is the lightest punishment.

What does this prove? It proves that the gods still remember their contributions.

Moreover, they pay for the relief of the people and the imperial guards out of their own pockets, which can win the hearts of the people and the military. With these, they will be more confident in gaining a foothold in the Divine Lord's court in the future!

Therefore, Nandu’s punishment did not dampen the enthusiasm of other big clans to join the God.

When Chen Qingzhu came out of seclusion, Hui'an had already led the Du'e Army and 100,000 newly joined volunteers, all the way through Shuntian Prefecture, and reached the foot of the capital.

*

This happened very suddenly for Chen Qingzhu.

It was even more sudden for Emperor Yong'an.

He deeply experienced what it meant to be defeated like a landslide.

It was clear that a month ago, he still had the vast Northern Zhili and 200,000 imperial troops to protect him.

The Du'e Army that was heading north left behind people to distribute the land along the way, and when they arrived in Jeju Prefecture, there were only more than 60,000 people.

He felt that no matter how brave the Du'e Army was, they could still delay the Du'e Army for several months.

In this way, as long as he saw that the situation was not right, he would have enough time to transfer troops from other fronts back to defend the capital.

However, ever since the rebellion in Daming Prefecture and its occupation by the Du'e Army, there has been bad news every day.

He had just received military intelligence of a rebellion in Daming Prefecture and ordered the garrison of Guangping Prefecture to work with troops from other places to quell the rebellion. Within two days, Guangping Prefecture was lost.

He could only ask Hejian Prefecture to concentrate its forces to intercept the rebels.

Within two days, a rebellion also broke out in Hejian Prefecture.

The Hejian defenders were directly attacked from both sides by the Du'e Army and the rebels. A small half of them were annihilated, and most of them surrendered to the Du'e Army.

The garrison commander of Shuntian Prefecture was loyal to him, but he could not resist the generals under him and the families behind them who had their own thoughts.

The garrison general and deputy general who were loyal to him were directly rebelled against by those middle and upper-level generals with different ideas and were beheaded in the tent.

After some incitement, he led the 50,000 defenders of Shuntian Prefecture to surrender to the Du'e Army.

Suddenly, the capital city became an isolated city.

Upon learning of this incident, Emperor Yong'an vomited blood.

More than 20 days ago, he sensed that the situation was not good, so he issued an imperial decree to summon the troops that were resisting the rebels in Qin Province to return to defend the capital.

But the army was moving very slowly, and no one knew what the situation was like in the war ahead, so they couldn't just leave if they wanted to.

Now, I don’t know if it’s still too late.

After all, the influence of the evil demon Du'e in the capital is far greater than that in other prefectures in northern Zhili.

Other prefectures have rebelled and surrendered, how long can the capital city remain stable?
