Chapter 126 uproar

People's hearts are fluctuating in Jiankang City. Since the Double Ninth Festival, the Northern Dynasty and Zhou Kingdom have had many abnormal movements on the borders of the two countries. For a time, rumors have spread everywhere, and various news has spread everywhere. It is said that the Northern Army is about to move south, which has caused panic in Jiankang City.

After a long period of struggle, in early October, just when people thought that the news of the northern army's offense was a false news, the envoy sent by the State of Zhou arrived in Jiankang and brought the letter from the Emperor of Zhou.

Its content is naturally unknown to ordinary people, but there is no strong person in the world who is not airtight. The next day, the whole city knew what was written in the Book of Zhou: the Emperor of Zhou listed the crimes of Emperor Chen in the Book of Zhou.

"...There are no more than the land of the palm of your hand, and the desires of the streams and valleys, and the assets are exhausted, and they are driven out from the inside and outside, and the labor service is not over..."

"...It is extremely extravagant, so that you can be a night, kill the guests who speak out in a straightforward manner, and destroy the innocent family..."

"...Bullying the heavens and committing evil, offering sacrifices to ghosts and asking for favors, giving them a splendid makeup and holding swords, and wiping the silk and calling on the alarm..."

"... Since ancient times, it is rare to compare. A gentleman escapes, villains succeed, natural disasters, monsters, monsters, claws, and roads with eyes..."

"... Chongkun is against morality and disobeys the border, hiding on the battlefield during the day and traveling at night, rats stealing dogs..."

The content of the letter of the country is very large, but it is not complicated to summarize. Anyway, it just points to the emperor of Chen to scold the "unrighteous monarch" and finally announces that it will send troops south to the Wu Yue in Yongqing.

After listening to the specific content of the letter of the country, the city was in an uproar: the Northern Dynasties army was about to go south again!

"This, how is this possible! Zhou and Sui have been fighting for many years, and the winner was just decided at the beginning of this year. In theory, Zhou still has to rest and recuperate, so why did they move troops!"

"How is it impossible? Prime Minister Chi of Zhou State, of course, had to establish his authority as soon as he succeeded, so he was in a state of war!"

"Did you hear that? The court has dispatched troops and generals from Xiakou to Ba, Xiang, and Jiangzhou, all of which have gathered troops to deploy defenses!"

"The State of Zhou specially sent an envoy to submit the letter of state. It seems that once the Zhou army goes south, it will be a big deal!"

"So what's the point? Have the Northern Territory broken through the Yangtze River for hundreds of years?"

"That's right, the official army is now guarding Huainan, and it's not that easy for the Beilu to cross the river!"

"The government army gathered heavily in Huainan. If the Northern Barbarians want to slap them, it will not work for less than half a year. When the rainy season comes next year, the Northern Barbarians will not be able to stand it anymore!

People were talking about it on the streets and alleys. Although the Zhou State had captured Yingzhou and had a foothold in Jiangnan, the Northern Barbarians had never had any military force in Jiankang for hundreds of years, so everyone was still optimistic.

"Don't be so treacherous, the official army will definitely be able to repel the Northern Territory!"

“Yes, yes!”

Many tea shops and guests in the wine shops will talk about the current situation enthusiastically, and they can't help but be nervous. After all, there are some people who can often spend money in tea shops and wine shops. Once the Beilu really attacks Jiankang, their wealth will be destroyed.

More than 30 years ago, the Western Wei captured Jiangling, the capital of Liang State, and kidnapped most of the people in Jiangling City, regardless of their high or low. Now, many people in Jiankang City have relatives who were captured and went to Chang'an at that time, and there was no news since then.

No one survived the national crisis. When Jiangling City was broken, even the son of Chen Baxian, the Taizu of Chen State, was captured by the Western Wei Dynasty today. At least these people had special identities at that time, and their lives were still easy in Chang'an. They were released in the future, but the others were in great trouble.

Now that the Zhou army is launching a large-scale southern invasion, if they really want to break through Jiankang, and then capture everyone in Yecheng or Luoyang, just like thirty years ago, how many people will die halfway? How many families will be destroyed?

In a wealthy family, everyone was confiscated as slaves, and they became lowly slaves. They even had to watch wives and concubines and daughters as playthings from others. This situation was too terrifying, so rich and wealthy families were particularly concerned about the current situation.

To be fair, the condemnation against Chen Shubao in the letter to Zhou State is indeed very reasonable, but the wealthy families don’t care. They have their own pastoral real estate and live their own small lives. The emperor exploits the lowly people, which has nothing to do with them.

The emperor was stupid and unruly, and at most he could change the dynasty. As long as the Southern Dynasties were still there, it would be fine. Anyway, the Southern Dynasties had changed several dynasties over the past few hundred years, and the gentry, powerful and chiefs from all over the country still lived a colorful life, but it would be different when the Northern Gang came.

The Southern Dynasties had the rules of the game. The powerful ministers from the Southern Dynasties came and would abide by this rule even if the dynasty changes, but the Northern Gate must change the rules, especially the evil equal-field system, which is simply "tolerable, but who is intolerable!"

The Northern Barbarians were about to invade the south. Many people were talking about the streets and alleys of Jiankang City, some were panic, some were forced to calm down. However, for the poor who lived in dilapidated courtyards and shacks, they did not have so many ideas.

The Northern Barbarians are not Northern Barbarians, so they have no time to take care of them because their lives are almost impossible to survive.

Years of corvee service have forced many families to be destroyed, and the strong labor force in the family has been sacked. The agreed service period has long passed, but people have not come back. The price of cloth plummeted, causing the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the family to lose money even in the woven fabrics, and they can only wait for death slowly.

Seeing the tragic situation of the neighbor next door, many people took risks: serving is a dead end, and running away is also a dead end, but at least they have hope of survival. They were lucky enough not to be caught by the government and fled to others as tenant farmers.

There was really no way out. Some people chose to rise up, but they were cruelly wiped out by the government army. The timid ones took their families and their families to beg for the beg.

They compete with wild dogs for food, eat tree bark, and eat soil. In order to survive, they no longer have dignity and live like dogs, but they still live hard. The number of beggars in Jiankang City is increasing.

The family is gone and nothing is gone. The government army wants to regain its hometown and to fight the Central Plains in the north, it has nothing to do with them, because it is hard to say whether they can still see the sun tomorrow. Seeing those well-dressed people talking about the current situation, they can only silently shrank in the corners and tremble.

In ragged clothes, stinking all over, numb eyes, hunched figure, dying relatives lying beside them, kneeling on the ground, begging for the passers-by: "Good, okay, pity us..."

Every day, many beggars turn into road corpses, and many beggars flock into Jiankang City, which soon turned into road corpses.

Even if you don’t starve to death tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will have autumn and winter after all. What should you do then?

Listening to people discussing major events in the court, they feel extremely sad: Which court is the same?

The sound of horse hooves rose, and more than ten flying cavalry rushed into Jiankang City and galloped towards Taicheng. Pedestrians along the way dodged one after another. Looking at the backs of these cavalrymen, people were puzzled: What news has come?

On November 11, Emperor Yu Wen Qiankeng of Zhou Dynasty paid homage to his ancestors and ancestors in Taimiao. In order to implement the war, the army swore to the south. At the same time, the Zhou State released countless proclamations to the south of the Yangtze River.

Xuzhou General Manager Yuchi Youqi was appointed as the marshal of the marshal, and Sima Xiaonan was the chief marshal of the marshal.

The Minister of the Shannan Road Daxingtai was appointed as the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the Huangzhou General Manager Yuwen Wen, and the Chief of the Xinzhou General Manager Cui Hongdu was appointed as the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the three marshals were all controlled by the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the marshal of the mar
