After the spring of the next year, the new monarch changed the country name to Tianyou, and the Prince Li Shao was abolished. Most of them were eradicated, and the only remaining Yuan family was still fighting against the new monarch.

The Yuan family joined forces with the Ninth Prince, and while spreading the rumors that Li Zhan's position was unjust, at the same time started with the salt policy that Li Zhan was holding on to, hoarding salt crazily again, raising the price of salt to the sky-high price of thousands of pennies a bucket, resulting in The common people don't know the taste of salt for ten months.

In May, Shangdang Jiehu, led by the leader Shi Shilong, revolted over the price of salt, annihilating more than [-] members of the Qing army, and massacred hundreds of Shangdang county guards.

In July, Shi Shilong gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and sent general Hu Yanzhi to attack Luoyang. Although he failed to capture Luoyang City, he defeated the Qing army repeatedly and wiped out more than [-] people, causing countless harm to the people.

In the same month, Li Xu, the Ninth Prince, entangled with several great families, led his private soldiers into the palace, and captured King Song alive, claiming that Li Zhan was a false edict to steal the throne, and that he was the real prince. Next enthroned.

In August, Li Yan, the king of Jiaodong, prepared his own dragon robe and proclaimed himself emperor in the fief. He angrily denounced Li Xu as a lowly slave from a court lady, who colluded with the Yuan family to murder the late emperor, and deserved to die.He also led the government soldiers to bring the refugees together, claiming to be a [-] army, intending to kill them as far as Chang'an.

So far, the Daqing Dynasty, which had been established for more than two hundred years, fell apart, and internal and external wars continued one after another.

In March of the next year, Liu Yunji sent troops to the north privately and fought several bloody battles with Tuoba Xianbei. After defeating Tuoba Xianbei, Liu Yunji officially announced that he would lead his army to surrender to Murong Xianbei and change his surname to Murong.After receiving such strong support, Duanbu Xianbei was quickly defeated by Murong Xianbei, and the rest fled to the west of Liaoxi, where they presented a letter of surrender to Xiao Hongfei.

In August of the same year, Murong Xianbei officially announced the founding of the country, the country name was "Yan", Murong Chang proclaimed himself emperor, and his capital was established in Xiangping, the former Liaodong County. King Youxian, and incorporated the original Tuoba Xianbei territory into the country.

In the Imperial Palace of the State of Yan, which was the prefect's mansion of the former Xiangping County City, Murong Chang sat high on the throne, wearing a crown and robes, with the might of a tiger intimidating the monarchs and ministers.

"Murong Xiangguo, now the Qing Dynasty is falling apart, and the Central Plains is in chaos." Murong Chang said, "But it's a good time for me, Dayan, to send troops south?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Murong Wuyou said, "Although the Central Plains is in chaos now, the Qing dynasty is still alive. After Li Xu ascended the throne, he will be supported by the Yuan family and Gu Wenxiong will be in charge of the army. It won't take too much effort to go back and deal with Shi Shilong, and I just ran into Gu Wenxiong's army when I sent my troops south."

"According to Xiangguo's opinion, what should I, Dayan, do?"

"At this moment, I, Dayan, should wait and see what happens." Murong Wuyou said, "Your Majesty should send envoys to the Xiongnu as soon as possible."

"The Xiongnu were blocked by Wei Chuyan outside Zhangye County, and we will unite with them..." Murong Chang suddenly came to his senses as he spoke, "Using the Xiongnu, let them enter the Central Plains from Bingzhou?"

"That's right!" Murong Wuyou said: "When Gu Wenxiong got rid of Li Yan and turned around to fight against the Jie tribe, my Dayan will send the Xiongnu into the Central Plains, so that both the Huns and Gu Wenxiong will lose. Then take the opportunity to go south and unify the Central Plains!"

However, today's kings and ministers of Daqing are unable to take into account the plans of the kings and ministers of the Yan Kingdom. Li Yan's army guards Chang'an.

Shortly thereafter, the Jizhou Red Clothes Sect also raised their flags to revolt. After occupying Hejian County, they also announced the founding of the country and restored the name of the country as "Han", which will be called "Later Han" in later history.

When Feng Jiuqing rushed to Jizhou from Donglai, Su Mingyue had already praised Liu Ling as God. Feng Jiuqing knew that she was late and the trip was meaningless, so she took Ruyan and Ruxin to gather refugees around, and took them Get organized and use Bai's merchant ships to transport people to Shepherd City.

Chu Ning and Bai Su were waiting for the news of Feng Jiuqing's persuasion to Su Mingyue in Muyang City, but they didn't expect to wait for boat after boat of refugees. The two looked at each other, and Bai Su couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Senior sister has such a temper. Don’t want to see other people suffer.”

"Let her go." Chuning had no choice but to give up and said, "I'll give her some money, and I'll also ask Mr. Dabu to cooperate with resettling the refugees."

"How to arrange it?" Bai Su worried: "With more than [-] people in Black Bone City, the labor in each workshop in the city is basically enough..."

"We can only cultivate new land." Chu Ning spread out the map of Liaodong County, and circled the entire Liaodong Peninsula with his fingertips: "Cultivate more land, grow more food, and raise hundreds of thousands or even millions of people here. Not impossible..."

"What about the Central Plains?" Bai Su asked, "Shall I play with them first?"

"Well, I guess within the next two years, I can only trouble A Su to play with them first." Chuning said, hesitantly asked: "A Su wants to...how far?"

When Bai Su heard this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he looked into Chuning's eyes, and asked, "Where does Wenhe want to go?"

"Based on the current situation, I'm afraid we have no choice but to say no to play?" Chuning sighed: "Whichever step we play, let's count."

The two chatted for a few words, then changed the topic, and then turned to Yuan Shi.

Not long after, Liaodong began dumping a large amount of dried salted fish and meat to the people of the Central Plains. These dried fish and meat can be eaten as vegetables or meat, and the price is many times cheaper than salt. Every time they are shipped to one place, they are sold out. , quickly alleviated the salt shortage crisis in the market, and directly lowered the salt price.

The large amount of salt that Yuan's hoarded in his hands depreciated rapidly after this. Seeing that the price of salt on the market dropped from thousands of dollars a bucket to less than three hundred yuan a bucket, which was lower than the price they paid for salt from the salt people It was several times lower, and my heart ached so badly that I wanted to bleed.

The price of salt fell, but the price of food rose wildly due to the war. In many places, it has risen to more than a thousand pennies. After two months of hard work, the Yuan family, who had little food, finally couldn't support it. First, he disbanded Sangluo Winery , Then some remote branches of the clan were sent away from the clan land to reduce the burden on the clan.

However, it was Li Xu, the new Daqing court, who could not hold on before Yuan.

Most of the newly assembled soldiers and horses for Gu Wenxiong were from peasant households. They joined the army just to make a living and didn’t even have time for basic training, so they were forced to take them to the battlefield. When they fought, they didn’t obey orders at all.Before meeting Li Yan, Gu Wenxiong fought Jiehu twice and lost both. Li Xu was so angry that he ordered to scold him. If it wasn't for the lack of other generals in the court, he might have picked Gu Wenxiong long ago. Official hat.

After fighting Jiehu, Gu Wenxiong's remnant soldiers were sent by Li Xu to fight against the Xiongnu who were put into the Central Plains by Xianbei before they had time to recuperate. In this bloody battle, Gu Wenxiong died on the battlefield.

After Gu Wenxiong died in battle, Li Xu had no choice but to release King Song who had been imprisoned by him for a long time, handed over the military power of the Yulin Army, and ordered King Song to stick to Chang'an.

King Song received the order, but after returning to the palace, he saw Li Rui waiting in front of his room.

"Does the father really regard Li Xu as emperor?" Li Rui asked straightforwardly after entering the room.

King Song was silent for a while, and then asked Li Rui: "If you don't honor Li Xu as emperor, who else can you honor? Li Yan?"

"What about the father himself? Haven't you thought about that position?"

"I've thought about it." Song Wang said, shaking his head: "But the father has no sons, and your two younger brothers are not only concubines, but also ignorant..."

"The child understands."

Li Rui closed his eyes, hiding all his disappointment and sadness, opened them again, knelt down and said, "My daughter will take good care of my aunt and younger brothers, please don't worry about my father."

"Hey! You still know my father." King Song helped Li Rui up, and sighed with a wry smile: "With your talents, it would be great if you were a man!"

"My son thinks that whether it's a daughter or a man, it's just a human life." Li Rui said: "I will leave Chang'an with my aunt and younger brothers tonight, and the Gu family will be with me. I hope my father will remember to open the city."

King Song bid farewell with tears in his eyes, summoned the generals of the Habayashi Army, and began to discuss the matter of defending the city.

Li Rui got out of the gate of Chang'an, boarded the merchant ship that the Bai family had prepared in advance, passed through Luoyang, and passed through Jizhou.

After arriving in Muyang City, Li Rui got the news that the Xiongnu conquered Jiehu, took Jiehu as a slave, and marched into the Central Plains, passed Luoyang, broke Chang'an, and was honored as emperor by the Yuan family and other families, and the country was named "Zhao" .

King Song died in battle at the gate of Chang'an, and Li Xu was captured alive by the Yuan family as a token of honor to welcome Liu Yuanhai into Chang'an.

Liu Yuanhai is a descendant of Maodun Chanyu of the Huns. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the former dynasty, married a daughter of a clan to Modun Chanyu as a concubine princess, and became brothers with Modun Chanyu. Therefore, the descendants of Modun Chanyu are all Take Liu as the surname.

However, Liu Yuanhai, who had just taken over Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor, discovered that the legendary prosperous city of Chang'an was not as rich as he had imagined.

The price of food is frighteningly high, and there is no market for the price. The population inside and outside the city has either died under the swords of the Huns and Jie people, or has fled. Except for empty houses, they have not been able to get the same amount as the Xianbei envoys. With such astonishing wealth, even the well-known Yuan family has no more food and treasures except for the mountain of salt after he ransacked his family and questioned him...

In a rage, Liu Yuanhai raised the butcher's knife and started killing one after another, committing the crime of Taotian.

In the same year, the Di and Qiang tribes also established their kingdoms and proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, and the princes and nobles of the original Daqing court and the governors of various states and counties also joined forces to stand on their own. .
