Longqing twenty-eight years.
This is a very bad year for Dai Viet people.
in this year.
In January, the Dai Viet vassal belonged to the Kingdom of Tranquility. It was on the grounds that the governor of the Dai Viet border government had humiliated the country's lord, made excessive demands, and crossed the border without permission to kill citizens. Announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Dai Viet, refused to pay tribute, and separated from the vassal.
In the same month, Jinghai State raised 100,000 troops and invaded Dayue Yulin County.
In February, the news returned to Kyoto, and Emperor Longqing was furious. Ordered the formation of a large army to conquer the south, preparing to send out 200,000 troops to attack Jinghai Kingdom.
At the same time, an edict was issued to levy a thief tax in all counties in the world for the purpose of conquering the southern army.
In March, the weather suddenly changed in various places in Dai Viet. In March, there was hail. The farming season was delayed, the fields were damaged, the people were panicked, and local rumors spread.
At the end of the month, the levy of thieves' tax came to Jian'an County.
People in Jian'an County make a living by growing tea. The hailstorm in March froze a lot of spring tea to death, leaving many families bankrupt and in debt. Now, taxes have come again, forcing countless people to sell their sons and daughters, and the people are living in dire straits.
At that time, there was a demon called Chi Mingzhu in Jianyang Mansion, who called himself Immortal Chi Yangzi and came down to earth to save the people. He is good at enchanting water, moving thunder, and can cast spells, and has gathered tens of thousands of believers.
Then he raised troops that month and killed officials to rebel. In just more than ten days, he captured the prefectures and counties and connected dozens of cities, shaking the southeast.
The news spread back to the capital, and the court was shocked.
Emperor Longqing ordered that the southern expedition army postpone its march southward and first go to quell the rebels in Jian'an County before conquering Jinghai Kingdom.
By April, the army camp for the southern expedition was completed and was preparing to set off to put down the rebellion.
However, at this moment, another news came from the north.
The new ruler of Liang, the old enemy of Yue, came to the throne. As soon as the young Emperor Liang came to the throne, he announced a southern expedition and planned to lead an army of 500,000 to conquer the Yue Kingdom.
Now Liang soldiers have gathered, the vanguard has reached the border, and the war has begun.
Emperor Longqing had no choice but to rename the southern army to the northern army and transfer it to northern Xinjiang to resist the Liang soldiers.
As for the rebellion in Jian'an County and the invasion of Jinghai Kingdom, they could only form a large army to conquer.
In the same month, the governor of Yuzhang County reported that there had been heavy rains in the territory for months, flash floods broke out in many places, and victims were everywhere, and he requested the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.
At the beginning of May, the governor of Xichuan County also came up to write a letter, saying that the earth dragon in the territory was overturned, the walls of cities and counties collapsed, more than 100,000 houses were destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were killed and injured. At the same time, the barbarians in the mountains were also severely affected by the disaster, and their lives were difficult to sustain, and there seemed to be something strange.
In the middle of the month, the governor of Linhai County reported that there was an attack by pirates from the East China Sea in the waters within the territory. There were ten thousand bandits. They relied on the power of boats to attack the city and fell into the ground. The war turned like a wind, and the county government was unable to deal with it. Please mobilize the sea division to attack.
At the end of the month, another witchcraft poison was reported in the palace of the capital. It was said that the prince and the seventh prince had hooked up with the folk witch Yan Daoyu and put the poison on the current saint, hoping to kill him with a curse so that the prince could ascend to the throne.
However, a servant in the prince's house reported the matter and leaked it.
Emperor Longqing was furious after hearing this, and immediately ordered the killing of the demon girl Yan Daoyu. At the same time, the prince was confined at home to make him reflect.
However, although the witchcraft era has come to an end, it has been forty years since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne in his thirties, and he is already very old.
The continuous bad news in the past six months, as well as the prince's witchcraft poison, have dealt a heavy blow to the elderly emperor's spirit.
Therefore, a few days after dealing with the witchcraft poison, Emperor Longqing spurted blood from his mouth during a court meeting and fainted on the spot.
Then he fell ill on the bed, waking up and falling into coma. In the end, he couldn't even survive six months and collapsed on the 13th day.
Then the ministers discussed and welcomed the prince to the throne.
The prince who had just been ordered to be banned from home had not even been closed for a month before he turned around and became the emperor of the new dynasty, changing his name to Yuan Hongdao.
Because this incident was so close to the time of the witchcraft, it was rumored among the people that Emperor Longqing did not die of illness, but was cursed to death by the prince.
Therefore, the newly enthroned Emperor Hongdao was widely criticized by people, and some even called him the Witch Emperor, which is quite ironic.
The rumor reached Emperor Hongdao's ears and immediately made him very angry. However, he had no time to deal with these rumors.
Because of the mess left by Emperor Longqing, the invasion of Jinghai Kingdom, the rebellion in Jian'an County, the southern invasion of Liang Kingdom, the flash floods in Yuzhang County, the earthquake in Xichuan County, and the pirates in Linhai County, these six big holes are waiting for the new emperor to fill them. .
After being a prince for forty years, he fulfilled his wish and cursed Emperor Hongdao to kill the late emperor who ascended the throne. He took the throne for only a month and was exhausted mentally and physically due to the busy schedule of government affairs.
There was a faint feeling in my heart that what this emperor did was worse than being a prince.
It's more comfortable that way.
However, there is no way to turn back. Once a person ascends to the throne, he cannot get off the boat.
Whether the Dai Viet, a ship that was precarious and full of holes, could continue to sail in the heavy rain depended on the ability of the new emperor.
…
Dai Viet was in a precarious state, as if it would capsize at any moment.
There is turmoil in various places outside, and there is not much peace here in Dongting County.
Agricultural production in various places was damaged due to hailstorms at the beginning of the year. It is certain that production will be reduced this year.
At the same time, hail fell from the sky, which also caused the climate to suddenly cool down. The animals in the mountains that had just come out of hibernation were frozen to death before they had time to hunt and regain fat.
Affected by this, the Miao mountain people who lived in the mountains and made a living by hunting also began to show signs of instability.
In May and June, mountain people rebelled and attacked the county town to rebel.
Fortunately, the county government had already predicted this and mobilized the army in advance. If there was any commotion in the local area, troops would be sent to quell the rebellion. The dozen or so mountain people's rebellions that just popped up were wiped out before they could spread.
However, even if they were dealt with quickly, after so many rebellions, several local county towns were still broken by rebels. Officials and people in the cities were massacred and looted, resulting in heavy casualties.
In this case, the time came to July.
On this day, Sun Siwen returned to his home after teaching the students in the college.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that in the garden, his friend was not practicing martial arts, but was drinking and having fun in the garden, singing a rather weird tune.
"I am holding a meteor crescent knife in my hand and shouting loud slogans. Who will sign up in front..."
The tune is very strange. It is different from contemporary Yuefu poems or poems and tunes. It is more like mountain slang, but the meaning and tune are very different.
Especially the words used in singing were different from any language at that time. Sun Siwen could not understand it at all, as if it was a foreign language from another country.
When I asked curiously, my friend said that he hummed it casually and thought it sounded good, so he sang it. It was not a foreign language.
Sun Siwen didn't believe it at all.
However, his friend didn't say anything, and he didn't delve into it further, but just listened to it.
Not to mention, although he couldn't understand the song Lu Yuan sang and the tune was weird, it sounded extremely comfortable, which made people marvel.
No, when Sun Siwen heard the singing when he entered the courtyard, he stopped and listened carefully without disturbing it.
After finishing the song, Lu Yuan turned around, looked at his friend and said with a smile, "Brother Sun is back."
These words are full of leisure, carefreeness and ease.
