Chapter 44: Little Zhong Clan, Big Zhong Clan
If the first surnames of the three surnames of Shouzhou were all in this way towards Jiang Feng, and the Zheng family who took the initiative to surrender to Jiang Feng, it would probably be the same for Tian family, and Shouzhou would be firmly in Jiang Feng's hands.
Under such circumstances, Huaiyou's attitude should not be ignored. Huaiyou also has the ability to interfere in the situation in Wu.
"That's great. Just wait for this matter, I immediately returned to Hongzhou to report my father and wait for Lord Jiang to come." Zhong Han nodded repeatedly, his excitement overwhelmed, "Then Lord Jiang, let's take the lead and wait for Qingyu Village?"
"Okay, I'll be there later." Jiang Feng nodded with a smile.
The two Zhong's ships had extremely high efficiency. They quickly turned around and headed outward. Jiang Feng and his group also boarded the ship and followed them.
"Lord, this Zhong son is particularly enthusiastic." Yang Kan looked at the fishing boat sailing ahead and said thoughtfully.
"Well, the Zhennan Army wants to say that it has nothing to do with us, and it is also separated from Shuzhou. Well, if it is included in the Da Zhong family and the Jiangrao Defensive Commander, it seems that it is really a bit unattainable. But I am afraid that the Erlang of the Zhong family will not be aimless in this way, right?" Jiang Feng glanced at Mei Kuang and Tian Chunrong, and glanced at Zhang Ting again.
Mei Kuang and Tian Chunrong exchanged glances, and finally Tian Chunlai continued: "Sir, it's probably related to the Wu Rebellion."
"Oh?" Jiang Feng also thought that it should be related to the Wu Rebellion, but the relationship between them has not been sorted out yet.
After all, he was not very concerned about the complicated situation in Jiangnan before, especially the various grievances and hatreds between these small vassal clans in Jiangnan West Road were not well understood by ordinary people.
"Zhong Jing has two legitimate sons, the eldest son Zhong Ye. He is arrogant and domineering and is not very popular in the Zhennan Army. However, he is the eldest son. In addition, his wife is a daughter of the Lu family, so his status is relatively stable. Zhong Han has been diligent since childhood and is talented, so he is very popular with Zhong Jing. His wife is a daughter of the Peng family, and she is very popular with people below..."
Jiang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
This seems to be another battle to seize the throne. They are all legitimate sons, but the elders are in order. If there is no special surprise, there will be no objection to Zhong Ye winning. If Zhong Han is loved by Zhong Jing, Zhong Jing will not be able to take the blame for the world.
In this era, it seems that such bloody things are everywhere, but this is normal. People like Yang Kan directly lost all the rights in the family because they were born in illegitimately, and had to go out to seek a way out?
"But what does this have to do with the adults?" Qin Zaidao couldn't help asking.
"Of course it's related." Tian Chunlai said with a wry smile: "The Xiao Zhong family, that is, Zhengshuo of the Zhennan Army, has always been resentful about the division of Jiangrao and the two prefectures. Zhong Jing has always regarded Jiangrao and the two prefectures as a great regret in her life. She also made great wishes to retake Jiangrao and the two prefectures, but Jiangrao and the two prefectures have always been under the control of the Dazhong family."
The two prefectures of Jiangrao have important geographical locations and are condescending. Once the independence is achieved, it is naturally not easy to retake them.
"Although the Da Zhong family is not as strong as the Xiao Zhong family of Zhennan Army, it is supported by Wu State and the vassals of Wu State Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Quzhou and other places. Therefore, the Zhennan army returned to the death several times, so the Zhennan army's control over Jizhou and Qianzhou and Shaozhou became weaker, which eventually led to the fact that the three states under the control of Peng and Lu families were actually independent of the Zhennan Army. Now the Xiao Zhong family has to rely on marriage to win over Peng and Lu families."
Jiang Feng nodded slightly. With the support of Wu, the Zhennan Army certainly did not want to retake Jiangrao and the two prefectures. A powerful and complete Zhennan Army was obviously not in line with the interests of Wu.
It should be said that at that time, the Wu Kingdom also intended to march into Jiangnan West Road, but history went astray, and Zhong Yangui's big Zhong family survived, and the power of Wu Kingdom could not be extended to Jiangnan West Road, which made Jiangnan West Road present a situation in a small Warring States period.
As for now, Yang Xingmi has long become a dry bone in the tomb, and now the king and ministers are not tolerated, the Wu Kingdom will also be on the verge of collapse. No one can tell what the situation will be after the collapse, but there is no doubt that the Jiangrao prefectures occupied by the Dazhong clan will return to the Zhennan Army's vision.
Without the support of Wu State and its vassals, can the two prefectures of Jiangrao still be defended?
Although a winner will eventually win the Wu domestic riot, it is not in line with the interests of the vassals around the Wu Kingdom. These vassals will definitely try their best to participate and intervene, so that the civil riots in Wu can be more powerful and last longer, so that they can benefit from it.
"Chunlai, it seems that Zhong Han wants to help his father fulfill his ambition to recover Jiang Rao and the other provinces. Well, to improve his status in the family?" Jiang Feng tilted his head and thought, "Or he wants to take the opportunity to seize the reserve?"
"Sir, it's hard to say. Zhong Jing is in good health now. Zhong Ye and Zhong Han may have such thoughts, but they may have to work hard in secret. As for Zhong Jing's death, it may be time for each to show their magical powers based on their strength." Tian Chunlai pondered.
"In other words, now Zhong Han is so enthusiastic about us, and he also intends to make us Huaiyou become a restraining land and avoid Wu from interfering with them in regaining Jiangrao and the other prefectures?" Jiang Feng touched his jaw, "I think this does not seem to be inconsistent with our intentions, right?"
All the generals laughed ambiguously. Seeing Jiang Feng's expression, they knew that the Lord was probably making some ideas. People like Zhong Han who came to the door on their own initiative. Since they had something to ask Huaiyou, how could they not take the opportunity to make something for Huaiyou?
Mei Kuang's eyes were a little more thoughtful, "Sir, Wu's support for Jiangrao and the two states was actually indirect, mainly through Xuanzhou, Shezhou and Quzhou. Over the years, Wu has never really sent troops, and Zhong Han's idea is not smart."
"Not necessarily." Jiang Feng shook his head leisurely, "Brother, I guess the Zhennan Army may not only focus on Jiangrao Prefectures. Wu is the backbone of these small vassals around it. Once Wu lands are in chaos, I guess I will feel restless when Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Quzhou and these places. How could the Yue Kingdom in the east and our hometown Wang family sit down? Even if the Fujian lands are unstable, I can't help but reach out."
