    While Liu Yuanjin was revolting in Yuhang, Lu Kai from Qu'a and Zhu Xie from Jinling also rebelled.

    Zhu Xie was also a Taoist priest who returned to secular life, and was the disciple of Xie Yi, the leader of the Kunshan Rebellion. He dabbled in classics and history and was quite knowledgeable in the art of war.  Zhu Xie himself had a good relationship with Guan Chong. When Guan Chong was the governor of Jian'an County, he repeatedly invited Zhu Xie to serve as an official in Jian'an. However, Zhu Xie remembered that his teacher Xie Yi died at the hands of Huang Mingyuan and was unwilling to work for Huang Mingyuan.  .

    After Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo last year, Zhu Xie returned to secular life and became a doctor in Kunshan County. He taught in Kunshan and waited for his opportunity.  When Yang Xuangan rebelled this time, Zhu Xie also felt that the time had come, so he took his students back home to prepare for the uprising.

    Although Zhu Xie has been a Taoist priest for a long time, he was born in the Zhu family of Wu County, and his grandfather was Zhu Yi, a powerful official in Southern Liang.  The Zhu family was originally one of the four families in Wu County. Zhu Yi had been in power in Xiaoliang for more than 30 years, and his family was very powerful.

    Using family dead men and influence, Zhu Xie killed the captain of Piling County and the magistrate of Jinling County, expelled Liu Lie, the governor of Piling County, occupied Jinling City, and gathered tens of thousands of people.

    His friend Lu Kai also raised troops in Qu'a (now Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) under Zhu Xie's persuasion.  Suddenly, the land of Wu was in chaos.  The four counties of Piling, Wujun, Yuhang, and Kuaiji were the heart and foundation of Jiangnan. The greater Wu was in chaos, and the whole of Jiangnan was also in complete chaos.

    First there was chaos in Yuhang County, and then there was chaos in Piling County. At this time, Ou Yan, the Jiangdong arrest ambassador in Wu County, could not sit still.  As the arresting ambassador, he himself had the responsibility to stabilize Jiangnan. Huang Mingyuan kept him in Wu County to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan. He really could not sit back and watch the situation in Jiangnan worsen.

    However, as soon as Ou Yan was about to make a move, he was dissuaded by Huang Mingxiang.

    Huang Mingxiang has served as the transshipment envoy to Jiangnan since the second year of Daye. He has stayed in Jiangnan for six years and has taken on almost all of Huang Mingyuan's affairs in Jiangnan.  Huang Mingxiang also used the important position of Jiangnan Transshipment Envoy to extend his tentacles deep into the counties in Jiangdong.

    Regarding this rebellion, Huang Mingxiang had his own considerations.

    Huang Mingxiang opposed the rush to send troops to quell the rebellion at this time.

    Seeing that Ou Yan was getting anxious and eager to send troops, Huang Mingxiang said: "General Ou, why does General Ou think my brother sent you and me to the south of the Yangtze River for so many years?"

    Ou Yan was a little confused about what Huang Mingxiang meant, so he said: "Duke Wei hopes that we can stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, but I am sending troops to quell the rebellion at this time, not just to stabilize the situation."

    Huang Mingxiang asked again: "Have we controlled the situation in Jiangnan for so many years?"

    "this?"

    Ou Yan was a little speechless.

    People in Jiangnan are very xenophobic and have many aristocratic families.  He and Huang Mingxiang were in Jiangnan, both civil and military. Although they had tried their best to control Wu Jun, only God knew how much influence they could have without Wu Jun.

    This situation is not normal in other places, but it is normal in Jiangnan, especially the land of Wuyue.

    Seeing that Ou Yan was silent, Huang Mingxiang said again: "General Ou, do you think we have been running Jiangdong for so many years, why can't we completely control the situation in Jiangdong, while Liu Yuanjin, a bandit, can make the whole Jiangnan people gather to respond with a shout from a high position?  Could it be that what you and I have been doing for so many years are not as good as a mere bandit?"

    Of course Ou Yan knew that this matter was related to the imperial court's persecution of Jiangnan, and also to the hatred he had with the people of Jiangnan after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen.  Of course, what's more important is that they only grasped the rights of Jiangnan, but not the foundation of Jiangnan.  Just like He Lankuan who died in Yuhang County, although he was the prefect of Yuhang County, and ostensibly the entire Yuhang County was under the control of Helan Kuan, in fact he himself was not convinced by the locals at all, and he did not have much strength in his hands.  Once chaos breaks out, there is no way to control the situation.

    Huang Mingxiang looked at Ou Yan and continued: "The aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River are more exclusive than the aristocratic families in the north, and their control over Jiangnan is also deeper. The Sui Dynasty killed a wave of people twenty years ago; the eldest brother killed another one seven years ago.  Bo, after twenty years of continuous suppression in the Sui Dynasty, the Jiangnan family has been suppressed to the point of being suppressed. If they cannot turn around during the troubled times this time, they will be completely reduced to ruins in a few years after losing control of Jiangnan's resources.  Now these people, even if there is a slight possibility of success, they will work hard to achieve it. This is why when Liu Yuanjin, a little bumpkin, raises an issue, all parts of Jiangnan respond."

    Ou Yan said with some confusion: "But seven years ago, the Emperor and Wei Gong opened their eyes to the Jiangnan family, and a large number of their descendants became officials. Couldn't they use these people to rise again in the Sui Dynasty?"

    Huang Mingxiang shook his head and said: "It's useless, it's just a drop in the bucket. And do you think they would care about the position between these fingers? They were working with the Central Plains at the beginning.Disobedient.  This person, after staying at a high place for a long time, doesn¡¯t want to go down, or even climb the mountain again.  The Jiangnan family did not want to fight for the world, but this time they wanted to establish a Southern Dynasty.  "

    After hearing this, Ou Yan said: "Despite this, I still think that our army should quickly send troops to quell the rebellion and prevent these rebels from joining together. After all, chaos in Jiangnan will not do us any good."

    At this time, Ou Yan was thinking more about military matters.

    Huang Mingxiang sneered: "Then if there is no chaos in Jiangnan, what good will it do to us?"

    Ou Yan was at a loss for words. Isn¡¯t it right to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan?

    Huang Mingxiang said: "The eighteen counties in the south of the Yangtze River cover a vast area of ??thousands of miles and have a population of tens of millions. They are the chosen places. Among them, there are eleven counties in the east of the Yangtze River and seven counties in the west of the Yangtze River. How many of them are in our hands?

    Han Yi is in Dongyang County and Guan Chong is in Jian'an County. We control half of Dongyang County and half of Jian'an County, plus Wu County where we are located. The rest of the land is not all divided up by the Jiangnan Family and the Guanlong Family.  ?  The Guanlong family controls the upper class, and the Jiangnan family controls the lower class. We will never be able to wrest any benefit from them.

    " In this case, we have stabilized the situation and it is just a wedding dress for them, so it is better to let Jiangnan continue to be chaotic.  When things get out of hand, we can naturally step in to clean up the mess and seize the benefits from them as we should.  Moreover, the private power of the Jiangnan family is so great that it can be said to be a hindrance to us at every step. In this case, it is better to let them be destroyed together in this turmoil.  "

    Ou Yan said with some doubts: "But what's the overall situation of Jiangnan?"

    Huang Mingxiang asked back: "What's the overall situation in Jiangnan? As long as there are no problems with Hu Douzhou and Shanghai Port, then nothing will be a problem."

    Ou Yan has nothing to say. As Huang Mingxiang said, their core interests are Hu Douzhou's shipyard and Shanghai Port.  Even if Wu Jun is lost, he can just take it back.

    Ou Yan then agreed: "In that case, let's follow Liu Lang's opinion." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
