0521 The turmoil in Xijing, the mutual attack of hundreds of squares

After years of silence in Wuzhou, Chang'an suddenly became lively again.

However, this lively thing is not the mighty power of all nations, nor the prosperity of the people who are happy, but the sudden rise of chaos and sudden sweeping the entire Chang'an City.

The story goes like this: In early November, when the news of a coup in Shendu reached Xijing, the entire Chang'an City was filled with excitement, and the scholars and people rushed to tell each other, which was a time of joy.

In addition to being as resentful as the people in other parts of the world for changing dynasties and becoming a country, the people of Chang'an City have a realistic feeling of joy.

Originally, Chang'an was the capital of the empire and the most prosperous place in the world. However, with the turmoil of the demon queen, Chang'an City was no longer in its glory, and it suffered double losses in politics and people's livelihood.

Now that the demon queen has finally been defeated, the power belongs to the Li family. For the people of Chang'an City, it can be regarded as guarding the clouds and seeing the moon bright. Finally, I have waited for the opportunity to come to an end.

This atmosphere continued until the arrival of the Xuanfu envoy Dou Huairang in Xijing. Especially when Dou Huairang announced the convening of the people's power to repair the two major areas, and prepare for the return of the sage to Chang'an, the enthusiasm of the people quickly reached its peak.

Not to mention that the people in the city responded positively, the villagers in the suburbs and villages around them flocked to Chang'an City, and there was no need for the government to recruit force.

The people of these villages may not have a clear sense of loyalty and righteousness, but they also have the pride of living in this village. In order to restore Chang'an City to the former center of the imperial house, they are also willing to donate little efforts without asking for anything in return.

So, in just over half a month, more than 100,000 villagers poured into Chang'an City, all of whom were willing to repair the imperial house and welcome the return of the sage.

But no matter what kind of mood the people are pouring into Chang'an, once people gather, there will inevitably be a lot of friction and chaos.

Especially after the Wangchengyi murder broke out in the first half of the year, the officialdom of Chang'an City was also affected. Lou Shide, left-behind in Xijing, was directly dismissed, and many officials from the left-behind office were also investigated and demoted.

After that, Prime Minister Li Zhaode was in charge of Xijing for several months, and the government was able to maintain basic operations. However, as Li Zhaode was also recalled and demoted, the court did not send new left-behind personnel to take charge, which made Chang'an City lack effective monitoring in the past period of time.

The Xuanfu envoy Dou Huairang also brought a group of envoys to accompany him, but in a hurry, he had no time to take over all the affairs of Xijing. In particular, a large number of people flocked to Chang'an City, making the situation even more difficult to deal with.

So the situation quickly took a sharp turn. Even if the people who flocked to Chang'an City did not ask for anything in return, they always had to eat and drink. They came to Chang'an with enthusiasm, but they could not find the officials to connect with when they were hungry. Once people were extremely hungry, they naturally had to find ways to fill their stomachs. If the emperor returned or not, they would leave it behind. It is true that they should not starve to death.

The Xuanfu envoy Dou Huairang was originally happy that the people were available, and was planning to contact the local people in Xijing to take advantage of this momentum to advise the court to prepare for the return of the emperor. However, before the memorial was drafted, the memorial was sent here and he was surrounded by a group of hungry eyes.

As the situation has developed to this point, there is room for recovery.

After Xijing was no longer the center, although the storage of various materials had plummeted, it was still the center of the inner city, the backward base in Longyou, Anxi and Hetao Seita, and there were some reserves for rice and other border towns. Due to limited transportation capacity, some distributed military funds were temporarily stored in Xijing.

If these reserves are used directly, the emotions of hungry and cold people can be temporarily stabilized, and then they will report to the court in time and draw goods from other places to support Guanzhong.

Of course, doing so is equivalent to taking action first and then reporting, and forcing the court to force the people's sentiments. Dou Huairang will inevitably be held accountable. In particular, some of the goods and goods reserves are related to the military supplies in the border towns. Once the military situation is affected, the political risk will inevitably be greater.

So Dou Huairang finally did not dare to order the opening of the warehouses and scattered food people, but chose to negotiate with the big families in Xijing, hoping that they could donate some of the food and goods to cope with the immediate needs of the people.

Guanlong's honor is well-known, and perhaps its status is no longer obvious now, but its family heritage is quite impressive. From the entrepreneurship industry to even trace it further, each family has a large number of rewards accumulated by his ancestors' achievements. If they are willing to help, the trap in front of them is nothing.

Moreover, when Dou Huairang wanted to come, the Shendu was innovated and the Tang family restored the country. In order to allow the imperial throne to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, the Guanzhong fellow villagers should have money and make great efforts to show the whole world that they united in Guanlong, so as to restore the decline in Wuzhou and regain the voice in the court.

To take a step back, even if you don’t consider the general trend in the court, when King Yong was in Xijing, he ordered all families to donate mahjong to celebrate his birthday. These families in Xijing were having a good time. Even if this is the case for an outsider, he is a Guanlong with a strong roots, and his plans are not his own selfishness. It is in the sense of reason, and each family should help.

But reality still gave Dou Huai a big mouth. When he arrived in Xijing, he was incredibly glorious. The scholars and people almost left the city to welcome him. When it comes to welcoming the imperial throne to Xijing, they all had great ideas and were extremely enthusiastic, and they rushed to speak and make plans.

But when Dou Huairang asked for this, the families in Xijing became cold and many people refused, and some simply closed their doors. Dou Huairang went around in Xijing, almost running away and getting his mouth broken. In the end, only a few families could not understand their feelings and raised hundreds of hu of rice.

Such a little food is not enough to hold more than tens of thousands of people gathered in Xijing City. Moreover, because the Xuanfu envoy was unable to provide food to comfort the people, the people who were starving started to rescue themselves one after another, and the inside and outside of Xijing City became a robbery and public security was greatly corrupted.

The various families in the city suffered such an invasion, and their attitude towards Dou Huairang suddenly changed from being cold to complaining, accusing Dou Huairang of being weak in comfort and forcing him to quickly drive the people who gathered in the city out of the city.

Faced with such a situation, Dou Huairang completely lost his mind. After several weighings, he finally decided to follow the wishes of the old families and ordered the people to withdraw from Chang'an City within a few days.

However, it is easy to invite God to send God to God, and it is really difficult for more than 100,000 people to call him and leave him. In particular, the move of Xuanfu to rebel directly triggered the people's already dissatisfaction, and the conflict finally broke out on a large scale.

At first, the people were suppressed between the Nanfang District of Chengnan. They were suppressed and driven away by Dou Huairang's command of the left-behind soldiers in Xijing and the powerful slaves. They were already in a state of disintegration. However, suddenly, they rushed into the city of Xijing and directly kidnapped Dou Huairang, and immediately broke down the still unified front. The nobles took care of their family business, and the left-behind soldiers in Xijing also retreated to the two major areas.

Until now, the entire Xijing City has been in turmoil, and hundreds of gangs are enemies of each other.

The nobles and powerful men took Qujiang southeast of the city as the center, organized their servants to guard against the rioters to prevent the rioters from rushing in. The north of the city was the boundary of the street in front of Zhuquemen Gate, and the left-behind soldiers in Xijing were defended and blocked. The rioters mainly moved in Chang'an County on the southwest of Zhuquemen Street.

In addition, merchants in the east and west cities also formed guards and directly blocked the two cities to avoid being robbed.

The Huixianfang on the west side of Chang'an City is one of the settlements of the Old-Yi Society in the city. Li Yang led a hundred daring soldiers to patrol the fang. After driving several routes of riots who were planning to attack the fang district, he returned to Fangzhong with great worries.

As soon as he returned to the fang, several old-fashioned club members rushed out of the Wuhou shop on one side of the fang street, and entered the front and said, "Reported to the case, Hepingfang in the south of the street, there are 600 people, all of whom are our old-fashioned club members."

After hearing this, Li Yang nodded and reminded: "The current turmoil in the capital is definitely not the norm. Soon after, the court will definitely send troops to conclude the chaos. We old-fashioned community members, remember not to wander around the streets and be arrested. The community is scattered in the countryside and being carried into the capital. We send a message as soon as possible and accept as much as we can!"

"But, however, the grain storage areas in the south of Beijing are already insufficient. Peace, Chang'an and several yards cannot cook for several days..."

After hearing this, the club said bitterly, with a look of sorrow.

"I'll ask the house again, how many people are there and how much food and goods are left, and there are two reports a day, so there is no delay!"

When Li Yang heard this, he gave a serious reminder. After saying that, he returned to a large mansion in the yard and summoned the escorts to inquire. When he learned that the grain storage in Beijing was less than 500 hu of it, he immediately frowned deeply again.

Long before the Shendu Incident, the members of the people who stayed in Xijing received the secret order from His Royal Highness Yong to deal with the matter in Xijing. So they also urgently dispatched a group of people to gather in Xijing City, preparing to wait for the time being.

After that, things went smoother than they thought. A large number of people in the countryside entered the city but failed to comfort them, which had already disrupted Xijing. Seeing this, Li Yang and others quickly changed their strategies and no longer incited public chaos in the name of the Old Yi Society, but instead restricted the community from participating in the riots.

Of course, they did not do nothing in the process. In addition to provoking trouble at the beginning, as elite soldiers sneaked into the city, Li Yang and Feng Wu and others colluded with the soldiers to directly kidnap the Xuanfu envoy Dou Huairang, making the chaos in Xijing even more difficult to conclude. The situation has evolved to this point, and the effect is even better than that of their own operations.

But the problem that followed was that even they could not control the current chaos. Especially many old-fashioned community members were spontaneous or were entangled into chaos, which also caused a headache for Li Yang and others, so they could only do their best to gather these community members back.

But to the present, their previous reserves of people have been greatly insufficient, especially the rapid consumption of food reserves that caused this turmoil, and there is no way to supplement them.

The old clothes club is not without food. Last year, they took over a large number of industries of the Dou family, and most of them were converted into materials for storage in various parts of Guanzhong for social maintenance. There are several large granaries near Xijing.

But in the current situation in Xijing City, whoever dares to transfer materials internally and externally will undoubtedly become a target, and it is inevitable that he will be besieged.

Although the Old Yi Society has a complete armed force, Li Yang and others dare not act too unscrupulously. If His Highness Yong failed to return to Xijing as promised, or could not completely control the army and show the existence of the Dao warrior too much, it would undoubtedly attract the King's scruples' gaze directly to the Old Yi Society, even His Highness Yong would find it difficult to protect him openly.

Therefore, after they gathered together to discuss, they all tended to continue to hide the old clothes club in this turmoil and the whole city, as a secret move by His Highness King Yong to help His Highness control the situation in Xijing and even the entire Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of members of the Old Yi Society gathered in Chang'an City. Even if the Dao Warriors are not clearly displayed, their presence is so great that people cannot ignore it. But after all, they are not the main culprits of the chaos in Xijing, and it is impossible for someone to directly associate them with His Highness Yong, so they can still receive certain secret chess effects.

However, the situation has not turned around for a long time, and as the riots continued, the people left behind under the King of Yong were divided into various places, and the communication between them was not smooth, and Li Yang was not sure what to do next.

He is just waiting for Feng Wu who is out to inquire about the news. If he is still not optimistic enough, then Li Yang decided to take the risk of organizing a group of soldiers who dare to go out of the city to transport grain tonight, and lead some of the members gathered in the city out of the city to resettle to relieve the pressure in the city.

While thinking, several people wearing cloaks outside the door hurried in. The leader was Feng Wu, a hero in the city. After Feng Wu entered the door, he looked at Li Yang and grinned: "Good news, good news! Li Zhi case, see who I have led back!"
