?On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Jiankang, Taicheng's sleeping palace, Chen Xu, the emperor of Chen State, was already exhausted on the couch, his eyes were staring at the curtain above, and his life experience emerged from his mind. △,

His father Chen Tanxian and his uncle Chen Baxian were originally ministers of the Liang State of the Southern Dynasty. More than 30 years ago, the rebel general of the Northern Dynasty, Hou Jing, launched a rebellion and turned the mist and rain into hell on earth. The fate of their Chen family changed from then on.

Hou Jingbing besieged Taicheng, the commander of Liang Emperor Xiao Yan and the prince Xiao Gang were trapped in the city. His father led reinforcements to reinforce Taicheng and fought bloody battles and died. After the Hou Jing's rebellion was quelled, his uncle Chen Baxian, who had made great contributions, guarded Jingkou, while the prince of Liang State Xiao Yi was appointed as the emperor in Jiangling, and he and his cousin Chen Chang entered the court in Jiangling to serve as officials.

A few years later, the Western Wei sent troops to attack Jiangling and killed Emperor Liang Xiao Yi and took the people of the city and the ministers of the Liang Kingdom to Chang'an. Since then, he has become a prisoner and lived in Chang'an. The relatives who were with him were Chen Shubao, the eldest son, who was less than one year old at the time, and Chen Shuling, the younger second son.

Three years later, the uncle named him Emperor of the Chen Dynasty and Liang Dynasty. Yao named him Prince of Shixing. Two years later, his uncle died of illness and his only son Chen Chang was in Chang'an, so he was unable to ascend the throne. His brother, Chen Lu, the prince of Linchuan, succeeded to the throne in health, and then he was named King Ancheng by Yao.

In order to incite Chen's domestic fight, Zhou State released Chen Chang back to Jiangnan, but the only son of Chen Gaozu died "accidentally" when the Chen general picked him up and crossed the river. He finally realized what bloody imperial power was. After returning to Chen State two years later, he was entrusted with important tasks and acted less and less cautiously.

Four years later, his brother died of illness and his nephew ascended the throne. He no longer hesitated to depose his teenage nephew, ascend to the throne. He had ambitions and had also led his troops to the Northern Expedition, but his destiny was difficult to violate the destiny in the past fourteen years, the territory of Chen still shrank to the present level.

He was tired, and his ambitions when he was young had already disappeared. Now that the deadline was approaching, he only wanted to be with his relatives. He had forty-two sons in his life, but the one he missed the most was his second son Chen Shuling.

The ministers impeached Chen Shuling with evidence, he knew that he was reluctant to punish him. In the years of Chang'an, the eldest son Chen Shubao and the second son Chen Shuling suffered a lot with him, so the father had to pay the extra money. Chen Shubao was the crown prince and the future emperor. This compensation was enough, but there was only one crown prince, so he could only indulge Chen Shuling to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Just as Chen Xu was immersed in memories, a figure shaking outside the curtain, a luxuriously dressed man walked up with medicine. The prince Chen Shubao, who served the sick, had been in the palace for many days. An eunuch was about to step forward to help Chen Xu up and drink medicine, but he shook his head and asked, "Is Shixing here?"

Shixing was the King of Shixing Chen Shuling. When the prince Chen Shubao shook his head and then said that the second official was on his way to Jiankang and thought it was coming. Chen Xu heard this countless times and said that every time he asked, he said that it was coming.

'Actually I don't want to come...' Chen Xu thought so, but he didn't say it out loud, but asked the eunuch to help him sit up and drink the medicine brought to the prince. In fact, it's the same whether he drinks the medicine or not because his illness is no longer something that can be saved by the medicine.

From the New Year to now, he was trying to meet his second son Chen Shuling before he passed away. Since Jiangling was defeated in July, his appearance was destroyed. Chen Shuling's temper became more and more violent. As a father, he saw his son's eye-catching face without disgust, but endless sadness and regret.

Chen Xu regretted that he could not resist begging his son to lead his troops to attack Jiangling, otherwise there would be no future events. Now, it is useless to say more about things. Several times before the New Year, he issued an order to urge Chen Shuling, who was away from home, to return to Jiankang, and the other party was all kinds of reasons to rude that he knew that his son was unwilling to show his true face to others for his appearance.

A burst of tiredness surged up, and Chen Xu felt that his strength was gradually dissipating. He seemed to have the appearance of his father, the appearance of his uncle and brother, and looked at the familiar face of his deceased relatives. Chen Xu knew that the time for his death was coming.

Well, no longer have to think about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, no longer have to work hard to govern. Everything has nothing to do with you...

His gaze gradually blurred, but he suddenly saw an eunuch hurriedly walking forward and handing a piece of paper to the prince's hand. The prince heard his whisper for a moment and then glanced at him and then retracted his gaze.

"Is it Shixing? Is it Shixing coming?" Chen Xu shouted hard and tried his best to struggle. Seeing this, Chen Shubao hurried forward and helped him with the eunuch standing beside him.

Hearing his father's constant questioning, Chen Shubao originally thought that he would be about to come as usual, but he could not hide the bad news he had just received, as he saw his father's turbid but anxious eyes.

"Father, the second official... he led his troops to attack Xiyang City, Bazhou, Jiangbei... he was defeated... he has gone!"

A moment later, a heavy bell sound came from Taicheng and spread the bad news throughout Jiankang City. Not long after, a news spread to the territory of Chen State and crossing the Yangtze River to the north.

On the first month of the 14th year of Chen Taijian (the fifth day of the lunar month), Emperor Chen Xu of Chen died, and Prince Chen Shubao succeeded to the throne, and the world was amnesty.

......

Chang'an, covered in silver, and a team of ceremonial guards left the imperial city and slowly advanced into the city. A carriage surrounded by the imperial guards was a man wearing court uniforms and holding a roll of imperial decree in his hands.

The man was a clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wenqia, Duke of Bin, is now heading to the prime minister's mansion with an abdication edict in his hand. The abdication recorded in history books has now been experienced by him.

This is Yuwen Qia's fourth and last edict. According to the traditional process, he must give in three words and three words. After running back and forth three times, he can go back and forth once and for all.

The Yuwen family's country will also come to an end. The prime minister in charge of the government, the Sui king Yang Jian, will no longer refuse to give in today, but will "reluctantly" accept the order and then enter the palace to accept the abdication.

As the Grand Tutor and the second remaining Yuwen clan in Chang'an, Yuwen Qia felt very bitter at this time. He was just a puppet, just like the cousin in the palace, at the mercy of others to perform this last scene.

Since the Yuwen family's turmoil has taken a sudden turn for the worse since the late emperor died in April of the previous year, now, except for the little emperor in the palace, the only one left in Chang'an City, the Yuwen family and his less than four-year-old son are left. All other royal families have turned into unjust souls under the sword.

The little emperor's two emperor brothers, who were only a few years old, had died of illness. The only bloodlines of Emperor Wen of the Great Zhou Tai was left with the little emperor Yuwen Chan and Yuwen Qiankeng, who was supported by Duke Yuchi Jiong of Shu in Yecheng.

The rest of the royal family were the father and son who stayed in Chang'an and the uncle Yuwen Liang who was in charge of Anzhou. Only five male members of the Yuwen royal family who were still more than fifty people a year ago have withered.

Yuwen Qia looked at the familiar street scene outside the window and was distracted. He was thinking about his destiny. According to the previous example, the emperor who abdicated would not have a good end, while the fate of the royal family in the previous dynasty was between the two.

Thirty-one years ago, Emperor Yuan Shanxi of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was located in the powerful minister Gao Yang, and was poisoned the following year. Twenty-five years ago, Emperor Yuan Kuo of the Western Wei Dynasty, was forced by the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, and was killed shortly afterwards.

The Yuan family of the Eastern Wei was massacred by Qi, while the Yuan family of the Western Wei survived the Zhou country. Yuwen Qiao only hopes that Yang Jian can let go of the lives of his and his sons and his two Yuwen royal families after he ascended the throne.

"The late emperor... When you passed away four years ago, did you think that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be today..." Yuwen Qia murmured to himself that what Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, who died four years ago, left to the Crown Prince Yuwen Yun a Great Zhou, which was about to unify the Central Plains and the national strength was thriving. He never thought that this person had only been two years and had to make people lose all their hearts.

Yang Jian abused power. Most of the powerful people who had been born and died for the Great Zhou were standing by Yang Jian and watched him swallowing the Great Zhou step by step. If Emperor Wu was there, wouldn't such a thing happen?

Thinking of this, his vision was blurred. He knew that he could not resist even if he was slaughtered by the meat on the chopping board. His only hope was to show respect as much as possible so that he could save his youngest son's life.

"Even if you want to kill, just kill me..."

On that day, the Prime Minister, Yang Jian, the King of Sui, entered the palace in regular clothes, received a book, seal, changed his clothes to a gauze hat, and accepted the yellow robe as abdicated by the Emperor of Zhou. He was then placed in the Linguang Hall. He then summoned his ministers to set the country's name "Sui", and changed the reign to Kaihuang. The world was amnesty.

Dugu Jialuo was appointed as the queen and the eldest son Yang Yong was appointed as the crown prince. Zhou Liu officials were abolished, and the new dynasty was based on the old system of Han and Wei. Three divisions, three dukes and the ministers, subordinates, internal historians, secretary, and eunuchs were established.

Emperor Yu Wenchang of Zhou was brought out of the palace and the palace was placed in the place of Duke Jieguo. He had a fief of 10,000 households, and his carriage, clothes, rituals and music were still in accordance with the old Zhou system. He wrote a letter and wrote a letter without saying the edict.

The dust settled, and the Prime Minister Yang Jian finally took a critical step. The Chang'an court had changed its master, and the land of Zhou had become Sui territory. The news immediately spread in all directions, especially towards the Eastern Zhou court in Yecheng.

......

In the military camp in Bazhou, in the eastern suburbs of Xiyang City, soldiers on the school ground were standing in line. They were wearing black uniforms and were energetic. At first glance, they looked like a black tide. Xiyang County Duke and Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen led a group of generals to stand in the wind on the stage.

On New Year's Eve not long ago, Tian Yuansheng's rebellion was quickly quelled under the command of Yuwen Wen. The new army soldiers performed well in this incident. The soldiers guarding the mansion of Xiyang County Duke in the city repelled the attacking Chen army's siege and finally fought back and killed the opponent.

The soldiers guarding the key areas of the city also completed the task. The thieves who set fires sporadically in the city were then defeated and captured by them. With the cooperation of the state soldiers, the fire was extinguished to avoid a large-scale spread. In the subsequent large-scale search, the general Tian Yuansheng and several masterminds all captured them all.

The soldiers who stayed behind the military camp outside the city were supported by the surprise soldiers sent by Zhou Fashang, the governor of Hengzhou, defeated the Lu clan soldiers who were attacking outside. The two sides joined forces to catch fish in the troubled waters and seized their old nest Bahe City among the defeated soldiers of the Lu clan.

The capture of prisoners on New Year's Eve was calculated, so Yuwen Wen naturally had many rewards: this time, the reward of merit and deeds not only increased the reward of money but also increased the wealth that everyone longed for for thousands of years - land.

A large part of the land that Tian Yuansheng, his accomplices and Lu family were seized was land. After deducting those who were reclaimed, there was still a lot of waiting for distribution. Yuwen Wen's "fat and water will not flow from outsiders' fields" gave priority to the rewards of these already unowned fields to the soldiers.

Only when the people of the land can they truly settle down. Only when the harvest is found in the land can the family be considered stable. If the family has a house, the family will not be afraid of sun and rain, and there will be no need to sleep in the open. Only when the soldiers with family property will follow Yuwen Wen wholeheartedly to kill the enemy.

The saying "Those who have constant property have perseverance" is not always applicable, but the general direction cannot be wrong. Yuwen Wen wants to make the soldiers feel a sense of belonging. The next question is how to divide the fields. It is impossible to achieve absolute fairness but he can still do it with relative fairness.

The generals naturally need to have a share, and at the same time, they divide the land according to the merits. The confiscated real estate, oxen, and farm tools are also one of the property and even slaves. There are various "matches" to choose from according to the merits.

The move to divide the fields, people and houses greatly inspired the morale of soldiers. Although it was still a while before the official "opening", everyone was already unable to sleep at night. It was a dream for more than 99% of the soldiers from poor backgrounds.

Whether it is a veteran, the newly recruited prisoners of the new army, whether it is a veteran, the Battle of Lianghekou or the Battle of Jiangjinshu, they will have a share of their contributions. Yuwen Wen announced in public that he would not have the chance to make a contribution this time, and he would have a chance to make a contribution next time.

"It has been nearly a year since we recruited troops to form a new army in late January last year." Yuwen Wen shouted with a paper loudspeaker, "It's been a year! You can't have a formal name!"

This army is a recruiting system. If it is serious, it is considered Yuwen Wen's private army. The recruiting troops follow the commander and his soldiers come from all over the place, so of course it is inconvenient to use the place name. Yuwen Wen, who has a lot of experience in naming, quickly thought of the name of the new army.

The new army has a spear formation as the main defensive ability, but according to Shi Wansui's previous suggestions, we must strengthen the assault ability, that is, "attack". The combination of offense and defense is Yu Wen's source of inspiration.

"The spear is like a forest. You must have a tiger in the forest to take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy. This is the goal of our army's army building." Yuwen Wen's voice was a little hoarse but still full of momentum.
