Chapter 2930 Qin Zheng VS Wang Mang (Part 2)
After listening to Ren Hongchang's story, Zhang Liang suddenly fell into thinking. He actually didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Yin-Yang family, because among the hundreds of families, the Yin-Yang family had the most opinions among them.
There are three brothers in the Zhang family. The eldest, Zhang Jiao, is from the Yin Yang family, the second, Zhang Sanfeng, is from Taoism, and the third, Zhang Liang, is from Confucianism. The three brothers each belong to one branch of the Bai family. Their composition is more complex than anyone else's.
The reason why Zhang Liang has objections to the Yin and Yang family is naturally because of his eldest brother Zhang Jiao.
The eldest brother Zhang Jiao is obviously a disciple of the Yin Yang family. Although it is his own will to rebel in the end, but the Yin Yang family has no guiding role at all? Zhang Liang would not believe it no matter what.
After the Yin and Yang family led their eldest brother on the road to rebel against the Han Dynasty, they just sat back and watched his eldest brother charge forward, attracting the hatred of the Han court. They themselves sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, barely giving any help, and watched the uprising fail.
Yes, the Yellow Turban Uprising was essentially a great uprising started by the Yin-Yang family. Its leader, Zhang Jiao, was also a disciple of the Yin-Yang family. After that, many people from hundreds of families also responded, but only the Yin-Yang family did not give Zhang Jiao Help, this is the biggest reason why Zhang Liang has objections to the Yin and Yang family.
Of course, Zhang Lianghui's thinking is actually biased. There are still people from the Yin Yang family who help Zhang Jiao, such as Zhang Jiao's master Nan Hua and Fu Xi, but their assistance is not overt and does not have much effect. Compared with Yin Yang Considering the size of the family, there is no difference between this little help and no help at all.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liang has a strong opinion against the Yin-Yang Family. In his eyes, the Yin-Yang Family are some restless cancers. If the Yin-Yang Family is not basically controlled by the pro-Qin faction, it can basically be regarded as a subordinate of Da Qin. As for the department, he would definitely advise Ying Hao to destroy the Yin Yang family first among the hundreds of families.
Zhang Liang neither wants to see the Yin Yang family nor wants to get involved in the affairs of the Yin Yang family, but now that Ren Hongchang is personally asking him for advice, he can't hide even if he wants to. He can only say with a helpless face: "I'd like to express my gratitude to you, Empress Qi. Abe Seimei will not rebel, he is the best person to send back to Yingzhou to take charge of the overall situation. "
Seeing Zhang Liang's expression, Ren Hongchang felt that he was perfunctory, but he did not get angry. Instead, he asked: "Why is the third uncle so sure? After all, Kamo Tadayuki is Abe Seimei's master, and Abe Seimei is a person who values love and justice." personality."
"It is because Abe Seimei attaches great importance to love and righteousness that he will not rebel. Your Majesty may not know something. Abe Seimei's master is not only Kamo Tadayuki. Kamo Tadayuki's son Kamo Yasunori is also his teacher, but with Kamo Yasunori The Kamo family headed by Xian did not participate in this rebellion. The only ones who really rebelled were Kamo Tadayuki and a small number of Kamo's children. "
Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Ren Hongchang immediately came to his senses and sneered: "These wealthy people are really cunning. They can only put their eggs in one basket."
Zhang Liang was startled when he heard this, and then said: "You can't say that. Under the infiltration of our Great Qin, many big families in Yingzhou have deep interests tied to our Great Qin. Once our Great Qin's rule in Yingzhou is overthrown, they will The most affected, this is also the main reason why the Uesugi, Oda, Hojo and other wealthy families did not resist.
Maybe a few people from these big families will participate in the rebellion, but it does not represent the will of the entire family. The Kamo family will not rebel against the Qin because of Kamo Tadashi, and the Abe family is serving the Qin as a whole, so how can Abe Seimei rebel? ? "
Seeing that Ren Hongchang was still hesitant, Zhang Liang said again: "Madam, please rest assured. Abe Seimei is different from Himiko. He is a truly smart man who knows what the general trend is. He has already rebelled once. Even if he rebels again, he is still a member of our Great Qin." After the country is subjugated, there is no possibility of rebellion before that.”
Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Ren Hongchang was completely relieved, but he still did not let Zhang Liang leave, but kept him to accompany him to meet Abe Seimei.
As Zhang Liang said, Abe Seimei himself did not have any thoughts of betrayal. He was also a truly smart man and knew the purpose of Ren Hongchang summoning him. After all, apart from Himiko, he was the only one who could return to Yingzhou to take charge of the overall situation.
Frankly speaking, Abe Seimei is unwilling to go back for three reasons:
First, for Seimei, there is no benefit that he cares about if he goes back. Not only will he offend people, but he will even make enemies of his former relatives and friends, including his former teacher Tadayuki Kamo, so if he stays in Daqin, he will naturally ignore it. These are broken things.
Second, Abe Seimei was afraid that he would not be able to solve the problem if he went back. After all, his old enemy Ashiya Michitoshi was also in the anti-Qin camp.
Abe Seimei knew too well that Ashiya Michitoshi must have broken through to the Grand Master level. After burning his inner strength, he modified the Onmyoji Kung Fu. Although his skills recovered quickly, he had not yet returned to the Great Grand Master level.
Abe Seimei is not afraid of losing, but he is afraid that failing to solve Ashiya Michitoshi will damage the affairs of the Qin Dynasty, thus affecting his family and the relationship between Qin and Japan.
As for the third point, he didn't want to affect his precious study time because of these nonsense.
After Abe Seimei surrendered, not only did he receive top-level treatment in Great Qin, he was also treated as a core disciple in the Onmyo family.
The Yin and Yang family did not regard Abe Qinming as an outsider. Instead of hiding their precious knowledge, they opened up all their precious knowledge to him.
Most of Qingming's previous puzzles about Yin-Yang were answered at the Yin-Yang family, and this sudden sense of enlightenment made him addicted. At the same time, he was extremely grateful to Fuxi, the leader who sincerely accepted him.
In Da Qin, in the Onmyo family, Abe Seimei has status and status, and is learning and making progress every day. However, when he goes back, he has to deal with all kinds of troubles, and even the master-disciple fight against each other. No one would want to go back.
Therefore, after listening to Ren Hongchang's words, Abe Seimei directly refused on the grounds that his skills had not yet recovered, but his reaction had been predicted by Zhang Liang.
After Ren Hongchang remembered what Zhang Liang had just said, he said with an unquestionable smile, "I will send two great masters to return to Yingzhou with you, Mr. Qingming."
Of course, Ren Hongchang knew that Abe Seimei, who had not fully recovered, would most likely not be Ashiya Michitoshi's opponent. However, she used Abe Seimei just like Ying Hao used Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao. She was not using her ability, but valuing the opponent's presence. Status and influence in Shintoism.
But even so, Abe Seimei didn't want to go back, so he refused again due to lack of ability. However, before he could finish his words, Zhang Liang was speechless. "Isn't Mr. Qingming unwilling to serve our Great Qin?" Zhang Liang said with a faint smile.
This sentence alone blocked all Abe Seimei's escape routes. He could only compromise with a wry smile: "Seimei obeys the order."
Ren Hongchang looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, but he also knew that for a person like Qingming, he should not be pushed too hard, so he smiled and comforted him: "I am very relieved that Mr. Qingming can take the initiative to relieve the country's worries. I will definitely Report the truth to Your Majesty and reward sir."
"This... thank you, empress."

Yingzhou, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto Castle.
After Wang Mang occupied Kitakyushu, he did not set up his seat in Iwaya Castle in the north. Instead, he used Kumamoto Castle in the center as his base camp, which also showed that his ambitions would not stop at Kitakyushu.
In fact, with the help of Otomo, Aso, Sagara, Qiuyue and other families, Wang Mang easily occupied the entire northern Kyushu without losing many troops. After occupying the Kanmon Strait, he also opened up the connection with western Honshu.
From then on, Wang Mang's army could pass through the Kanmon Strait and enter the borders of the Western Kingdom at any time, and the Western Kingdom's Wei, Song, Ming, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other armies could also enter Kitakyushu at any time.
At least on the surface, Wang Mang's army was in an invincible position, and there was no need to fight with the Southern Kyushu Qin Xiejun who had no power to fight back but continued to fight against the enemy.
But the fact is that the first thing Wang Mang did after occupying Kitakyushu was to block the Kanmon Strait and prohibit the Western Kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming and Toyotomi Hideyoshi from entering Kyushu.
What does this mean?
This shows that although Wang Mang, Wei Songming, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi were allies on the surface, they actually had their own agendas.
Wang Mang wanted to monopolize, or in other words, he headed, including the major families in Kyushu who had taken refuge with him, and wanted to fight Northern Kyushu alone, or even the entire Kyushu, so he blocked the Kanmon Strait to prevent the major forces in the state from snatching victory. fruit.
It has to be said that Wang Mang's wave of backstabbing really **** off the Wei, Song and Wu kingdoms.
After all, Wang Mang was able to occupy Northern Kyushu so smoothly because of their great efforts, and he also had his own interests in Kyushu. But now that Wang Mang puts up his pants and refuses to recognize anyone, this is obviously a betrayal to them.
Logically speaking, with Wang Mang's situation, he shouldn't be seeking such small profits, but he will also be coerced by his subordinates.
The local families who had taken refuge with Wang Mang were all opposed to the forces of the Wei, Song and Wu kingdoms entering Jiuzhou again. After all, these three kingdoms were not too cruel and did not regard them as human beings. How could they be allowed back after they had finally been driven away? Woolen cloth?
The major families in Kyushu could accept Da Qin and Wang Mang, but they could not accept the notices from Wei, Song and Wu.
Wang Mang also intends to open up a new territory of his own outside the peninsula. Moreover, he has accepted the allegiance of the Jiuzhou family, so he naturally wants to defend their reasons. In addition, he knows that the three countries cannot do without him, so he dares to do this. Be confident.
Of course, Wang Mang did something dishonest after all, so he did not dare to be too tough when facing the Three Kingdoms. He always emphasized that he had something to hide, and that Da Qin was the real enemy. We cannot let Da Qin fishermen benefit from internal strife. .
Under Wang Mang's conflict transfer method, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu no longer care too much. After all, it is meaningless to care now. If they cannot defeat Da Qin, it will be meaningless even if they can regain the interests of Kyushu.
Wang Mang appeased the three kingdoms and began to concentrate on conquering Southern Kyushu. At this time, Qin Zheng had also led reinforcements to land, and his purpose of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao had been achieved.
At first, Wang Mang didn't take Qin Zheng seriously. He thought that although his ability was not bad, his ability to reach the point of being crowned king mainly depended on his blood relationship, so how could he be his opponent.
But what Wang Mang didn't expect was that when Qin Zhengcai arrived in Southern Kyushu, he not only discovered the inside story of the rebellion of the wealthy clans, but also stopped Wang Jian's counterattack plan.
Wang Mang's biggest advantage is that the enemy is in the open and we are hidden. He is planning to rely on the information gap to unite all forces after taking over Southern Kyushu to defeat Wang Jian. But the prerequisite is that Wang Jian takes the initiative to attack.
But now, instead of taking the initiative, Wang Jian is still hiding in the city, concentrating on defending. Who can crack down such a hard bone?
Just when Wang Mang was troubled by the fact that the Qin army was wary of him, the 7,000 vanguard troops he sent led by Yuengai Suwen were ambushed by Qin Zheng on the way to attack Renji City. Not only did the entire army suffer casualties Halfway through, even Yeon Gaesumun was injured.
You must know that Yuan Gaisuwen is Wang Mang's second general, second only to Xue Kui, and is known as the most powerful general in the three Koreas.
Xue Kui did not participate in this expedition because he was guarding Seoul. Yuan Gaisuwen was Wang Mang's most powerful general. As a result, he had not even seen Qin Zheng. Not only did the entire army suffer casualties, more than half of them were injured, but he was also injured.
The problem is that according to Wang Mang's understanding, Qin Zheng did not have any strong generals, but he easily defeated his closest subordinate Yuengai Suwen. This also forced Wang Mang to pay more attention to Qin Zheng.
