Chapter 046 The Extreme

I know people like Wei Yongzhi very well. Like many people, he not only has extraordinary ideals and ambitions, but also has extraordinary talents, but he sinks into the secular world because of timing or world conditions. Their living conditions are not even as good as those of ordinary street vendors.

Some people may have a certain identity and maybe a certain amount of money, but they have more frustrated than ordinary people. These frustrated things are also something that ordinary people can't understand and don't want to understand. Even if such a frustrated will be the most precious asset in their lives, it is the biggest burden when they are frustrated.

It is indeed valuable that Wei Yongzhi did not wear away his ambitions because he was immersed in his failure. As he said, even if he can't speak for half a lifetime, there is still half a lifetime left; even if he is frustrated for half a lifetime, the rest of his life may be in a good spirit.

I don't have time. He ran a long knife camp and took the opportunity to ask Wei Yongzhi to serve as a battalion officer. Although the position of battalion officer is not high, it is one of the shortcuts to enter the lieutenant and general. In addition, this long knife camp is not an ordinary camp, which will be the foundation of the future rebels. Choosing Wei Yongzhi, who is like-minded with me and hates the Huan family at the same time, is also one of the reasons.

I think that employing people needs to be talented and timed. Wei Yong has been in trouble for a long time. Once he is given a chance to give full play to his strengths, he will definitely go all out, without hesitation, and strive to be the best. Wei Yong is not the only talented person, but no one is more difficult than him. I chose him not so much as the opportunity for him to show his talent.

In this way, it seems that I am neither affectionate nor righteous. However, those who achieve great things are not informal. At present, what needs to consider is how to use people, not how to make friends.

As a battalion officer, you don't have to report to the Chinese army, so you can't see Huan Xiu. If Huan Xiu knows that Wei Yongzhi, who was criticized by Huan Xuan, is in his army, it may be detrimental to Wei Yongzhi.

Wei Yongzhi urged the craftsman to build all the long knives in just over ten days. I picked out one of them and took it in my hand. I felt that such a knife was not much worse than the moon knife I used. As soon as this long knife went down, all the soldiers in the long knife camp were very excited. The weapons they make are so different that everyone is quite proud.

Although Wei Yongzhi is from a farmer's family and has been used to carrying water since childhood, he lacks military experience, so I appointed Kuanen as his deputy general. Although Wei Yongzhi is a battalion officer, it is actually Kwa En who really replaced me in training the long knife camp. Wei Yong's organic plot is a handsome talent, while Ke En has courage and is a fierce general. I hope the two of them can train these hundreds of soldiers to attack Jiankang in the future.

It didn't take long for Wei Yongzhi and Guo En to understand the purpose of my arrangement. Wei Yongzhi then followed Kuan to practice martial arts in the school yard and the long knife camp during the day, and studied literature and military books in his military tent at night. Wei and Ou were with these 400 soldiers day and night.

After late autumn, it is getting colder and colder. Several rains knocked down the most tenacious dead leaves.

The city is silent, and even the market and barracks are not as noisy as usual. There are more whispering people in the streets and alleys. At first, the soldiers patrolled the city and dispersed the people, but over time, they also turned a blind eye to it.

The rumor that Huan Xuan claimed to be emperor has spread to the people. This means that the time for me to wait is coming. I ordered Wei Yongzhi to step up the training.

The second year of Yuanxing (AD 403). December.

The news spread by the people for a long time was finally confirmed: Huan Xuan usurped the throne and exiled the emperor to Xunyang.

On the day I got the news, He Wuji, who had not seen me for a long time, found me directly.

"General, the time we are waiting for has finally come."

"How are you preparing for everything?"

"At present, I have contacted the righteous people separately. I contacted the soldiers in the army, and Tao contacted the rangers among the people. Xu Xianzhi, Meng Chang and others are preparing weapons, equipment and ships.

"When Huan Xuan first ascended Taiji, he would definitely closely monitor the movements everywhere. At this time, it is not convenient for us to take action. We need to wait until Huan Xuan relaxes his vigilance and slack off, and then suddenly raise the flag of righteousness and break it in one fell swoop. You should also keep in touch with the righteous, comfort them everywhere, and don't be in a hurry.

He Wuji nodded.

I continued, "I don't know what rumors there are about Jiankang?"

"Tong Houzhi and others have contacted more than a dozen righteous people in the court. Just wait for us to set a time, and then we will do things together.

"I know. Go back."

After He Wuji left, I sent someone to summon Liu Daogui into the house. He happened to return to Beijing from Guangling for business.

I said to the Taoist rule, "Why did you know that Wuji had just come?"

"I know. He had already talked to me before he came.

"There is no need to talk about this. I have just told He Wuji and asked him to tell everyone not to act rashly. The righteous people you contacted also need more instructions.

"Brother, don't worry, I will do it."

"Okay. Go ahead."

As Daoji was about to leave, I stopped him again: "Tao Lian is in Jiankang at this moment?"

"Yes. That's what the letter came from the other day.

"Does he have any other news?"

"No."

"Oh. Got it."

Dao Lian works in the Ministry of Ceremonies and can often hear some developments in the court. He will tell me in the form of a letter. However, there are not many rumors about Huan Xuan's claim to be emperor. I know this is because my second brother has always been cautious. But when this is necessary, such caution should also be taken.

The replacement of the dynasty did not bring any wind and blood, nor did it bring any wind and grass. Jingkou is still as usual. It seems that everything that happened in Jiankang has nothing to do with Jingkou. Only those of us who served in the state and the army held a ceremony to worship the new emperor.

Although the ceremony is short, it is very solemn. Huan Xiu personally presided over the ceremony. As an imperial relative, he led all the relatives of the Huan family, I, as the governor of the state, led all the civil servants, and Tan, as a general, led all the military officers, and saluted the new emperor in the direction of Jiankang.

The vigorous and complacent Huan Xiu announced the edict issued by the new emperor to everyone.

There are two volumes of the imperial edict: one is for the use of Chengtian and the people, which is awarded to the feudal officials to stabilize their places; the other volume is specially awarded to Huan Xiu and me. Let the two of us go to Beijing on the same day.

Everyone shouted long live to the Zhaoshu Mountain and once again made three or nine salutes.

Huan Xiu was canonized as a meritorious official of the founding of the country and awarded the title of the throne. He should have held a banquet in the house to entertain military and political dignitaries, local rich families and rich families, but he knew that Huan Xuan urged him to go to Beijing. I will meet with the Chinese army early tomorrow morning and leave for Beijing before dawn.

Huan Xiu and I don't know how long it will take to go to Jiankang this trip, so we have been busy from morning to night to arrange everything properly.
