This situation is developing too fast, it is completely unacceptable.

As Duke of Wei was blamed for being beaten, everyone felt that the turmoil in Jiangzhou was over. Unexpectedly, Ao Ting was arrested and imprisoned.

Everyone thought this was Ao Xin and Ao Yu's counterattack, and the Marquis' Mansion of Nulang may have to be lifted from the seal.

Unexpectedly, the situation turned sharply, and Ao Yu's family was escorted to Beijing, and this situation was completely the most dangerous treatment of the criminal.

What happened? No one knew at all.

Zhou Lian, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, told the Minister of Justice and brought another decree.

"The Minister of Justice temporarily took office as the governor of Canglang Province, and the governor Wang Qichang was committed to his crime and temporarily took office as the prefect of Jiangzhou."

Not only that, more than a hundred officials who were removed from office, half of them had made meritorious service and returned to their respective positions.

"You Canglang Province must also prepare for war in full and be ready to assemble troops to set off south at any time. From now on, raise food and grass, because the battlefield ahead may need food and grass at any time."

Next!

Many people clearly saw that the army was gathering in various provinces of the Southern Zhou Empire.

A large army continued to move south.

Want to fight again?

It’s impossible. Last year’s battle with the Daying Empire cost hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of taels of silver.

Although the Southern Zhou Empire was strong in its national strength, it was difficult to launch two large-scale wars within two years.

The key army was going south. Where did something happen?

It was not until a few days later that the news gradually became clear.

Nanzhou mutiny and rebellion!

Nanzhou, one of the four core cities of the Great Zhou Empire. The capital of the Great Southern Province was once the garrison of the Great Governor's Office, and now the garrison of the Great Protectorate of the Nanjing.

The admiral of the Great Southern Province and champion general Li Wenhua treacherous rebellion.

He led a large army to capture Nanzhou, imprison the governor of the Danan Province, and imprisoned the Duke of Zhou Long, the great protector of the southern territory.

After occupying Nanzhou, he publicly challenged the court and immediately released Ao Xin, otherwise he would be responsible for the consequences.

Not only that!

In the capital, a large number of masters attacked Zongzheng Temple and tried to rescue Ao Xin. A big battle broke out in the capital, killing and injured countless times.

The emperor was most worried about Nanzhou before.

After all, this place was once the Southern Barbarians. Before the war with the Daying Empire, the emperor sent a large number of generals into the southern border and took charge of all the troops.

The war with Daying Empire ended and Nanzhou was defeated.

The emperor issued an order to immediately disarm all the local troops in the southern border.

The entire southern border was 1.35 million square kilometers, with a total of five provinces. When Ao Xin was the gubernatorial commander of the southern border, he was unable to suppress the riots one after another because he did not have enough troops and could not suppress the riots one after another, so he formed a local garrison army.

These garrison troops were all composed of local natives, and only natives who were most loyal to the Southern Zhou Empire could enter the garrison troops.

Moreover, after joining the garrison army, you can enjoy the treatment of the Southern Zhou people, divide the land, reduce taxes, and even have huge advantages in the imperial examinations.

After this policy came out, the atmosphere in the entire southern border changed drastically.

These garrison troops changed their surnames to become great Zhou people.

There were riots in the southern border before, and it was no problem to use the army to suppress and win, but they were exhausted and had a low cost performance.

After the local natives established the garrison army, the riots were not spreading there and were directly suppressed because everyone was all natives and well-informed.

Moreover, these garrison troops were cruel and ruthless in suppressing the rioters, and were much more vicious than the regular army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were killed at any time.

It is simply too effective to govern natives by using natives.

Moreover, these local traitors are extremely enthusiastic about naturalization, and they wish they could wash away the marks of the natives in a few years and become noble people of the Zhou Dynasty.

Everything is moving in a good direction. Even after Ao Xin is transferred from the Southern Protectorate, this policy will continue.

But not long ago, this policy changed.

The emperor was worried that the garrison army would rebel. After all, they were aliens, so he ordered all the garrison army to be disarmed and to be kept under surveillance and not to be connected.

Moreover, all the regular imperial troops in the southern border are in preparation for war.

This made the hearts of these garrison troops instantly hurt.

We are so loyal to the Southern Zhou Dynasty and even slaughtered our own people. We have changed our surnames and even worshiped our ancestors again. We have been regarded as local traitors by all the natives of the Southern Barbarians.

Now, you, Nanzhou, don’t treat us as your own people? Not only are you disarmed, but you are also as guarded as thieves.

After the Anglang Hou Ao Xin stepped down, these native garrison troops became even more frightened.

At this time, countless rumors were circulating in the southern border.

The Anglang Hou Ao Xin died, so the court's policy on the southern border was about to change.

Don’t look at Nulang Hou Ao Xin, who is not good at being a human being, does not know how to form cliques for personal gain, and has no power in the court. However, his prestige is very high in the southern territory, because he destroyed many small countries of the Southern Barbarians, and I don’t know how many kings were killed by him.

The alien races of the Southern Barbarians bully the weak and fear the strong, and they respect the strongest. And Ao Xin is a super strong in their hearts. They have no deep impression of the Emperor of Southern Zhou, but they have an extremely deep impression of Ao Xin.

During the period when Ao Xin served as the Southern Protectorate, the members of this garrison army were the biggest profiters, and they all changed from the poorest natives to the best, enjoying wealth and glory.

So of course this awe turned into support. When the imperial court realized this, it immediately transferred Ao Xin from the Southern Protectorate, and did not arrange any official positions. It depends on whether he would complain.

As a result, the anglang Hou Ao Xin had no complaints.

After the establishment of the General Office of the Peking University, the emperor appointed Ao Xin to become Zhou Li's deputy, and he was the second deputy.

Others' official positions are getting bigger and bigger, Ao Xin has made great contributions, but his official positions are getting smaller and smaller, and his title is not promoted. Instead, he has all three of his brothers been named Earls.

But Ao Xin still had no complaints, so the emperor was relieved of Ao Xin.

After Ao Xin fell, the garrison soldiers of the entire southern territory were panicked, and the rumors became more and more powerful.

For example, it is rumored that in order to prevent the natives from treason, the court was preparing to deceive all the garrison troops and kill them.

For example, the imperial army was preparing to completely kill all the natives in the southern border, etc.

Although the Southern Protectorate continued to refute the rumors, the imperial army was becoming increasingly strict with these disarmed garrison troops and was increasingly prepared for them.

Until one day!

A completely unexpected person, the admiral of the Great Southern Province, the loyal and brave prince of the Great Zhou Empire, and the champion general Li Wenhua rebelled.

Anyone can rebel, but Li Wenhua shouldn't.

Although he has followed Ao Xin, he has not been in a long time and his relationship cannot be harmonious.

The key is that Li Wenhua is also a century-old nobleman in the empire, and there is also a large family in the capital.

But he rebelled, occupied Nanzhou City, and seized all the officials of the imperial court in the southern border.

The ones who followed him to rebel were mostly native garrison troops except for some of his direct troops.

According to the latest news, he already has an army of 100,000 under his command, and the momentum of rebellion is very fierce and is constantly spreading in the southern border.

Nanzhou is the most core city of the Empire in the Nanman, and it has fallen.

The surrounding prefectures and counties are constantly falling.

Moreover, the rebels kept shouting, forcing the court to hand over the Marquis of Ao Xin immediately and release Ao Xin immediately.

When the emperor received this information, he truly felt that the sky collapsed and the earth broke.

The Jinzhou mutiny was not successful. The storm in Jiangzhou was just public opinion. It was not good-looking and was all caused by scabies. However, the rebellion in Nanzhou was terrifying and extremely dangerous.

If it is not bad, it will spread throughout the southern border.

After the defeat of the Daying Empire this time, his defense against the natives in the southern border was already strict enough, and even the iron tools had been confiscated.

In addition, a surveillance system was implemented. Each household of the Southern Zhou people who had moved there had to monitor five natives, and only the people of the Southern Zhou people were allowed to control the armed forces.

Unexpectedly, the natives did not rebel, but should have trusted the rebellion of the Great Zhou Zhongyong Bo Li Weng the most.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Nanzhou. Now the rebellion over there is in full swing. How wide has it spread and how many prefectures and counties have fallen?

It is completely unknown.

Therefore, the emperor issued an order that the entire empire gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and went south wildly, and there was no time to bring food and grass.

…………………………………………

When Yun Zhonghe in the prison car heard it, his head seemed to explode.

He only felt one word.

The sky collapses! The real sky collapses!

At first, he felt that this was Lin Xiang’s counterattack.

But after careful consideration, he felt that this huge rebellion must have a bigger mastermind behind it.

Prime Minister Lin Gong may have participated, but the entire conspiracy may not be led by him.

Because this incident is too crazy, it may lead to the fall of more than one million square kilometers of the entire southern border.
