Chapter 352 Jiangdong civil strife

At this time, the gap between Jiangdong and Jiangdong in history was not too big. It was just that Sun Ce was not dead.

Sun Ce was not dead, which certainly did not have much resistance when Sun Quan was in power, at least no one would blatantly rebel, but in contrast, most of these old subordinates of Sun Ce would not transfer their loyalty to Sun Quan.

When Sun Quan first started acting on behalf of Sun Ce, it was actually fine. The entire Jiangdong was united in trying to conquer Xiakou and regain Nanjun, and take Sun Ce home.

However, as Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang, was passive and lazy, and he repeatedly said some words that shake the morale of the army, saying that Xia's mouth was difficult to defeat, and Cheng Yu was the top famous general in the world who would be defeated. Several years ago, Sun Ce was in a state of war, and the soldiers of Jiangdong were already exhausted, but Sun Quan had no choice.

After all, Sun Ben must be the pioneer when he hit Xiakou. As the prefect of Yuzhang, Sun Ben is not cooperative, so he is still a mess!

Sun Quan even heard many times that Sun Ben and his son-in-law Cao Zhang, who was the prefect of Jiangxia, had many letters, and even knew that he often hung the large seal of Yangzhou governors given to him by the court on his waist, as if he had regarded himself as a Han minister.

I wrote a letter and asked several times. At first, Sun Ben wrote a reply to explain, but later he simply didn't even bother to explain. The letter he wrote was like a rock sinking into the sea. Moreover, he never received any money and food from Yuzhang in Qu'a, so it was clearly a separatist.

You said you want to transfer him away. If someone doesn’t have any birds, what can Sun Quan do? Beat him?

Not to mention that Sun Ben is not so easy to fight. If he is forced to do something urgent, Sun Ben can surrender directly to the court, and Cheng Yu's army can support him at any time. Just say that as a relative general of the Sun family, who dares to act rashly without Sun Ce's nod?

It was a joke for the court.

Attacking Xiakou naturally became nonsense.

However, as the entire Nanjun was occupied by the court, Jiangdong completely cut off contact with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. It has been more than half a year, and even Sun Ce doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Moreover, many knowledgeable people believe that the court is strong, Xiakou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Sun Ben's inaction, it is impossible for Sun Ce to come back. He is entrenched in the three small counties of Jingnan, and it is already a matter of time before he is destroyed by the court.

So more and more people have different thoughts.

You should know that Jiangdong under Sun Ce is very complicated. Its complex political factions are completely suppressed by Sun Ce’s personal charm, and even the local aristocratic tyrants are completely suppressed by Sun Ce’s violent means.

So in the past six months, more and more local Jiangdong tribes have appeared around Sun Quan. They gave Sun Quan strong support, clearly trying to kick Sun Ce out. I sincerely hope that the little bully who killed Yingye will not come back.

However, no one has successfully climbed to the high position for these local tyrants who have joined their Sun family camp, so they have not appeared in the meeting hall.

Even Sun Quan inevitably had a different thought after savoring the taste of power.

After all, although he is nominally the lord of Jiangdong, in fact, there are Sun Ce's shadow everywhere in this huge Jiangdong. Sun Ce's old subordinates bullied him at a young age and did not allow him to have any behavior of consolidating his own regime. The three words of his words are inseparable from Sun Ce. What is the result of becoming a God's princess and a lord's princess. Sun Quan even has the illusion that it is difficult to get out of government orders.

Anyway, if his orders such as Huang Gai and other veterans feel that they are wrong, they will refuse to execute them.

The eldest brother is likely to be unable to come back. The Sun family must have something to do, right?

Who knows if these generals who are loyal to their elder brother have other thoughts?

Big brother, brother, it’s not that I am unrighteous to you, my brother, but that I have to protect the foundation of our Sun family. It is necessary, and it can only make the civil and military officials in Jiangdong forget you.

This is called the overall situation first.

Anyway, this is what Sun Quan said to himself, and he really convinced him.

Therefore, when Sun Quan arrived in Qu'a with the imperial edict, he did not see Liu Xie's sinister intentions, but he still advocated accepting it.

If he became the legitimate King of Wu, Jiangdong would naturally gradually forget Sun Ce.

This is also the reason why Huang Gai and other old ministers strongly opposed it and even drew their swords at Sun Quan. If you take over the King of Wu, what is Sun Ce? Are you a rebel?

Will we still have to send troops to help when the imperial court attacks Changsha in the future?

This is clearly a betrayal, boy, do you really not know how much he is?

However, when Huang Gai attacked and Sun Quan could only apologize in a frustration, he saw a pair of big hands holding Sun Quan's neck with his neck, forcibly lifting Sun Quan, who had already stood up and bowed halfway, and forcibly pressing him on the chair.

"Sit firmly and don't lose face in our family."

Sun Quan looked up and a tall back was already blocking his front.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Sun Quan was so moved that he burst into tears.

The person who came was Wu Jing, a real-power clan of the Sun family, who served as the prefect of Kuaiji County. This person had been following Sun Jian's wars in the south and north as early as when Sun Jian raised his army. Before Sun Ce could take power, he was always hiding under Wu Jing.

You should know that when Sun Jian was not dead, Wu Jing was already better than the commander of the two thousand stone cavalry. Sun Ce was able to start a family so quickly, and his uncle's support. In terms of qualifications and power, no one in Jiangdong could surpass him.

But Wu Jing faced Huang Gai's sword front not only without dodging, but instead took a calm step forward, and with a look of disbelief, he sent his throat to the sword front inch with an inch of disbelief, and said lightly: "Huang Gai, are you going to rebel?"

"This...this...this, Mr. Wu, even you...this place are you going to place your lord!"

"Whether Quan'er is a family matter, is it our turn to say something? You pointed at Quan'er with your sword and said you were not going to rebel?"

With a loud shout, Huang Gai took three steps back. The sword in his hand trembled for a long time, and it fell to the ground with a clang. However, Huang Gai suddenly knelt on the ground and knocked hard on the ground, knocking blood all over the head. When he raised his head, he was already crying: "Mr. Wu, Young Master, I, Huang, begged you, take the lord back!"

After saying that, he saw another person step forward and support Huang Gai, and said, "Oh, Brother Gongfu, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Huang Gai looked up and saw that the person who pulled him was Zhu Zhi, and immediately cried even more sadly: "Brother Junli, you have to say something fair!"

Among the Sun family forces, Zhu Zhi was the leader of the old minister and could be called the number one person in the foreign surname. His status was far beyond Huang Gai. When Sun Ce saw him, he would call him uncle respectfully. This person was the only one in the civil and military affairs of the whole house to argue with Wu Jing.

But Zhu Zhi said, "What are you doing? Isn't this embarrassing the young master? Why don't the young master and Lao Wu want to take the lord back? However, the court is in great power and the Xiakou is steep. How can you pick it up just by saying that you can pick it up? You can't eat a fat man in one bite, so you should just think about it from a long-term plan."

Huang Gai was stunned, but immediately felt a bad premonition coming to his heart.

This Zhu Zhi wouldn't have to betrayal, right?

Yes, Zhu Zhi seems to have a better relationship with Sun Quan than Sun Ce. After Sun Jian's death, Sun Quan has been in their family. Moreover, he is from Danyang!

Here we can see the complexity of the internal forces of the Sun Group in Jiangdong.

The power of the Sun clan in Jiangdong can be roughly divided into three parts according to its origin: the Sun clan, the old subordinate of Sun Jian, and the direct descendant of Sun Ce. According to the region, it can be roughly divided into the Jiangbei Sect and the Jiangdong Sect. If it is divided, the Jiangbei Sect can also be divided into the Huaisi General Sect and the Exiled Sect.

With Wu Jing's rise and Sun Ben's separatist position in Yuzhang, almost all of the clan sects that Sun Ce relied on and trusted the most surrendered.

This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, the most important thing for them is to ensure that the surname of Jiangdong is Sun, and Sun Ce is not the only one.

What is the situation now? It is clearly that these old ministers in Jiangdong are bullying Sun Quan under the banner of Sun Ce. Sun Ce will not come back for a year, so you will wait for a year. What if Sun Ce does not come back for ten years? Is it okay to never take Sun Quan seriously?

Those who draw their swords directly like Huang Gai are already a taboo for Wu Jing.

Now that Sun Quan is a great opportunity to be crowned king, it can allow Sun Quan to legitimately suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals left by Sun Jian and Sun Ce. If anyone really has any thoughts that he shouldn't have in the future, it will be difficult.

And King Wu, why don’t you accept it? Sun Quan took the word "King" and they will naturally rise with the flow. To be honest, the situation has reached this point. Most of them really no longer expect to fight for dominance in the world. It would be great to be a separatist warlord with peace of mind. Which one is better for them, Sun Quan, who has already called the king, or Sun Ce, who is essentially a thief?

Most of the waves of Sun Jian's old subordinates hoped that Sun Ce would come back. Sun Ce and Sun Jian had similar intentions when interacting with others. To put it bluntly, they were all martial men, and they were all military regimes established. They were all valued under Sun Jian and Sun Ce's men. Sun Quan was obviously different from his father and brother.

As a result, Zhu Zhi looked unreliable.

Needless to say, Sun Ce's direct sect, the emperor and ministers were given by Sun Ce. Under normal circumstances, it was naturally impossible to betray Sun Ce. However, the original leader of this sect was Zhou Yu, and now he has wandered with Sun Ce. The next level should be Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. As a result, Zhang Zhao seemed to have rebelled.

This involves the division of a region. The Jiangbei Sect and the Jiangdong Sect, the Huaisi Generals of the Jiangbei Sect are the absolute main force among the direct military generals of Sun Ce. They are the ones who must be decisive in any case. This is the meaning of the existence of these military generals! If they don’t fight with the court and live their own lives peacefully, what value does they have in the court?

It’s even simpler for the people of Jiangdong. The local tyrants hated Sun Ce, and they hated him to the point of not dying. Besides, what do locals want most is peaceful development? What is the meaning of fighting and killing? They want Sun Quan to accept the imperial enthronement and Zhao Wei’s subordinates hope that Zhao Wei will enthronement are exactly the same.

Zhu Zhi was Sun Jian's old subordinate and a powerful Jiangdong tyrant. He had a good relationship with Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, but he was indeed better with Sun Quan. Sun Quan was even raised by him in their family for a while.

So his first demand was similar to that of the clan. He first rotted the meat in the pot and waited for Sun Ce for half a year. If Sun Quan could not stand up again, Jiangdong would be so stupid that he would not be Sun's surname.

Besides, he definitely didn't want to surrender. He was almost alone and why did he surrender? But as a wealthy family in Jiangdong, his family had wealth and some had good land, so he definitely had no ambition to fight the Central Plains in the north, so he wanted to live a peaceful life with his family.

Different identities will give people different positions, but not everyone has only one identity.

The exiled scholars in Jiangbei are interesting. These people were originally scholars from the Central Plains, but they fled south to avoid war. Now that the Central Plains are stable, they don’t have to worry about being an official even if they surrender. For example, Zhang Zhao, who was once elected by Tao Qian as Maocai. Maocai only has one in a year in a state.

Most of the civil servants in Sun Ce's system are such people, so this type of people will be more confused. Those with high origins tend to accept the King of Wu. It is nothing wrong for them to be Wu ministers openly. Even if the Eastern Wu perishes in the future, they will not be able to destroy them. Those with low origins will be different.

But when Lu Fan sneered, he said, "General Zhu clearly said, do you recommend this imperial enthronement? "

Zhu Zhi's face was stern: "General Lu, it's not appropriate for you to talk to me like this."

Lu Fan was not afraid at all. "If General Zhu is loyal to his lord, he will naturally be the adult I admire. But if he speaks unfaithful and unrighteous words here for his own selfish interests, then everyone can spit it!"

Zhu Zhi was furious: "Zhu Zi is arrogant. When I followed Wentai to fight south and north, you were still wearing open-crotch pants! How dare you bully me like this?"

After saying that, Zhu Zhi pulled out his sword and waved his hand and slashed at Lu Fan's head.

Lu Fan is the most trusted young general in addition to Zhou Yu, and the most powerful military power among the direct sect. He is already the opinion leader in the direct sect. Zhu Zhi is also a ruthless person. He even took advantage of this opportunity to humiliate him and directly killed him.

Anyway, with his qualifications and relationships, even if Sun Ce comes back, he will never blame him for this. Just Lu Fan has a little far from Zhu Zhi's status.

However, with a clang, Jiang Qin, who is also Sun Ce's direct line, suddenly broke out and blocked Zhu Zhi with a sword.

Seeing this, Wu Jing shouted: "Jiang Qin, do you want to rebel too?"

"Are I against me or are you against me?"

For a moment, Chen Wu, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao and others pulled out their weapons and stood beside Lu Fan. Seeing this, Sun Jing, Sun Fu and other clans also pulled out their knives and stood beside Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai hurriedly blocked the middle and persuaded the fight. Even pure civil officials such as Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Song and Qin Duan were glaring at each other's teams.

Seeing this, Sun Quan quickly stood up and persuaded him to fight: "Uncles, uncles, don't do this, let's talk about it if you have something to do!"
