Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 378 Qi Wang, the five surnames who have been prepared for a long time, leave the Tang Dynasty?
Chapter 378 Qi Wang, the five surnames who have been prepared for a long time, leave the Tang Dynasty?
While Fang Yuan was arranging things, Cui Runyu and others were also busy.
They are all old foxes. It is impossible for them to be unprepared. They may even have made arrangements in advance.
Facing seven Jiangnan aristocratic families all cooperating with Fang Yuan, Cui Runyu and others did not have any surprises, they had even expected it.
They are all aristocratic families, and they all understand that the Jiangnan family is not happy for their five surnames and Qiwang to stay in Jiangnan.
However, other small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Jiangnan are also dissatisfied with the top aristocratic families occupying so much of Jiangnan's resources.
Therefore, except for the seven top aristocratic families in Jiangnan, the others have secretly taken refuge in the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
At this moment, the Cui Mansion was already filled with the heads of small and medium-sized families from Jiangnan, as many as forty-five people.
"You can rest assured that our Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will not look down on Jiangnan."
"You can just destroy the seven major families in Jiangnan, their assets are all yours."
Cui Runyu said slowly.
"Thank you, Patriarch Cui!"
"Clan Chief Cui, we will definitely bring down the seven great families."
"The seven aristocratic families dare to oppose the five surnames and Qiwang, they don't know whether to live or die!"
The patriarchs of various small and medium-sized aristocratic families flattered Cui Runyu.
They reached an agreement with the Five Surnames and Qi Wang to deal with the seven aristocratic families in Jiangnan.
Naturally, if they can't handle it, Qi Wang, the fifth surname, will also help.
But with so many aristocratic families united, it is impossible for the seven major aristocratic families in Jiangnan to stand up.
"Go ahead and wish us luck!"
Cui Runyu stood up and raised his glass to face everyone.
"Wish us luck!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
Then they dispersed.
In this way, the great changes in Jiangnan began.
When Li Shimin ordered the suspension and dismissal of senior officials in Jiangnan, Jiangnan's top officials were already in chaos.
Without high-level command, soldiers at the bottom or government officials can only work step by step and dare not do anything beyond their own duties.
In this case, there is no way for the Jiangnan aristocratic families to stop them.
The small and medium-sized aristocratic families were the first to take action, using personnel to smash the shops of the seven major aristocratic families.
Mineral veins controlled by the seven major families were also robbed by them.
There was turmoil not just in one place or two, but everywhere.
"What's going on?"
"How dare they disrespect us?"
"Damn it, aren't you joining forces with Qi Wang, the fifth surname?"
Gu, Zhu, Zhang and other aristocratic families were shocked.
Then I soon learned the story behind the smashing.
After learning that it was a small or medium-sized family, they immediately felt something was wrong.
He must have reached an agreement with Qi Wang, the fifth surname, to dare to do this.
For a time, the seven major families originally decided to cooperate with Fang Yuan to attack the five surnames and Qi Wang, but now they no longer have the energy.
They immediately dispatched members of the family to prevent the small and medium-sized families from attacking them, and sent people to contact the small and medium-sized families to try to make peace.
However, as soon as the news of Yan He came out, the small and medium-sized aristocratic families seemed to have seen the dawn of victory, and they immediately became excited and intensified their attacks.
At this moment, Jiangnan ushered in the most violent aristocratic war in history. Almost all the aristocratic families involved suffered heavy casualties.
Soon, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian learned of the situation, and Gu Wuchang even came to ask for help.
"Our crisis will come soon. How can we have the energy to help you? You can solve it yourself."
Fang Yuan shook his head and refused.
The small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Jiangnan took action against the big aristocratic families, presumably because they had reached an agreement with the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
In this case, Qiwang, the fifth surname, will soon take action against him, and he does not have the energy to help the Gu family and the others.
After being rejected, Gu Wuchang did not dare to have any objections, so he said goodbye to Fang Yuan and returned to the family to help the family overcome the difficulties.
Sure enough, as Fang Yuan said, Qiwang of the Fifth Surname quickly took action, a hiding spot of the soldiers was discovered, and a fight broke out.
And Cui Runyu also found the place where Fang Yuan and Li Junxian lived.
"Fang Shangshu, why don't we just sit like this and see who wins and who loses?"
Cui Runyu said calmly.
"Okay."
"General Li, go lead the team."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.
Since Cui Runyu came alone, it’s okay to entertain him alone.
"Yes."
Li Junxian nodded and strode away.
"Fang Shangshu, I don't understand why you want to serve the emperor?"
"You can definitely cooperate with our fifth surname Qiwang, and we may become the eighth family in the future!"
Cui Runyu sat down and said calmly.
"I am an official of the imperial court. What's wrong with serving the imperial court?"
Fang Yuan smiled calmly.
"There is no problem, but there are better choices."
"Serving the imperial court, you have restrictions on what you want to do, and it also depends on the emperor's face."
"But it's different when you are rich and powerful. From now on, it's just others who need to look at your face, instead of you looking at others' faces."
Cui Runyu shook his head and said.
"Clan Chief Cui, are you kidding me?"
"I remember that when you were in Chang'an City, you also had to look at the emperor's face."
Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed.
The words sound nice, but they are not necessarily true.
When they were in Chang'an City, whether it was Cui Runyu or the other patriarchs of the five surnames and Qiwang, they had to give Li Shimin some face.
"The emperor also wants to give us face, doesn't he?"
Cui Runyu did not deny it, shrugged and said.
"Indeed."
"Respect is not gained by which side you stand on, but by your own strength."
"I now own a research institute, a medical school, a bank and a number of businesses. Now I am on an equal footing with you. Do I still need to choose?"
Fang Yuan smiled.
Along the way, Fang Yuan understood that what truly makes people respect is his own strength.
As long as you are strong, whether you are independent or serving as an official in the court, you will be respected and even feared by others.
"Hahaha"
"I can't even speak to you."
"Then why don't you just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Why did you bring the team here?"
Cui Runyu laughed loudly.
"Is Patriarch Cui scared?"
"Normally, you wouldn't come to me."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
It’s not easy for Cui Runyu to find him personally.
"I'm really a little scared, your fire blunderbuss is too powerful."
"If you didn't have the blunderbuss, we would have changed the situation long ago."
Cui Runyu's face darkened and she said in a deep voice.
If it weren't for the blunderbuss, the Tang Dynasty would have been in chaos.
The invasion of various countries will definitely lead to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty and the people will be in dire straits.
When the time comes, the five surnames and Qiwang will step forward, provide financial support, and then support several uprisings to drive out the countries.
It's a pity that because of Fang Yuan's fire cannon, all the countries were forced to retreat before they could take action, and Tuyuhun was directly destroyed.
This is something that Wu Xing and Qi Wang did not expect, and it is also something they are afraid of.
It can be said that if it weren't for Fang Yuan's blunderbuss, then the imperial court represented by Li Shimin would really not be afraid of them.
"There are not so many ifs in the world."
"If it really happens, if I have a weapon more powerful than a firecracker, I wonder what Patriarch Cui will think?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
If there were ifs in the world, there would be medicine for regret.
If there was a medicine for regret, then everyone in this family would be happy.
"Are you serious?"
Cui Runyu's expression suddenly changed.
Fireguns are already so powerful, is there an even more powerful weapon?
"I said if."
Fang Yuan shrugged and said.
If so, who can say for sure?
"I really want to scold my mother!"
"How about this, how about I retreat to Jiangnan now, or even leave Datang, and let us have a way out?"
Cui Runyu looked at Fang Yuan deeply, feeling that Fang Yuan was not lying, maybe he really had a more powerful weapon than the fire gun.
Fireguns are enough to make people despair, but there are weapons more powerful than fireguns, so do people still need to live?
"If you can win this time, I can pretend I didn't see anything."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said.
If the Five Surnames and Qi Wang win this time, I have no control over where they want to go.
Whether they leave Datang or where they want to go is their own business.
Even if you want to chase yourself, it is not impossible.
"Meeting you is such a fucking fuss."
Cui Runyu rolled her eyes and said.
After thinking about it carefully, nothing good will happen after meeting Fang Yuan.
It's like he is the nemesis of their Five Surnames and Qi Wangs. Without him, Five Surnames and Qi Wangs would never have an easy time.
Fang Yuan did not answer the call and drank tea slowly.
Outside.
In addition to the Jiangnan aristocratic families, they began to compete.
The people brought by Fang Yuan and Qi Wang, the fifth surname, also started fighting fiercely.
Li Junxian led the team and was surrounded by people with five surnames and Qiwang in a box.
This is the place chosen by Wu Xing and Qi Wang. The alley is small and it is difficult to use fire guns.
Moreover, the front part of Wu Xing Qi Wang is blocked by huge armor, making it invulnerable.
"You are indeed prepared!"
"Mount the bayonet and shoot flexibly!"
Li Junxian snorted coldly, drew his sword and stepped forward.
The shield armor of Wu Xing Qi Wang blocked the fire blunderbuss, and now he can only fight in close combat.
In a place like this, the winning rate is not high, but there is no other way but to fight!
Soon, the soldiers put on bayonets, separated on both sides, and followed Li Junxian to fight.
"Kill!"
The two sides fought.
Rising to the point where swords are facing each other.
This place soon became a sea of blood, with corpses everywhere.
Apart from here, there are many places where similar things happen.
There are a thousand soldiers brought here, and it is impossible for them all to be in one place.
Ten places were separated, each with a hundred people, to facilitate mobilization and support.
However, these places have been known to the Five Surnames and Qiwang, and are now being targeted by their people.
Except for some places where it is convenient to use fire blunderbuss to turn defeat into victory, most of them are like Li Junxian's place, where real swords and real swords are needed to start the battle.
In addition, there is competition between aristocratic families. Small and medium-sized aristocratic families want to plunder the resources of the big aristocratic families and destroy everything of the big aristocratic families.
This day was the most terrifying day in the history of Jiangnan.
Pedestrians did not dare to go out, and brothels and restaurants were closed without greeting them.
In fact, brothels and restaurants are both properties of aristocratic families, and they have no time to open.
Horrible things are still happening, and they have not stopped from morning to night, and there is a war on all sides.
At night, they finally calmed down and dispersed, with a tacit understanding to stop attacking.
Li Junxian also came back covered in blood.
When he came back and saw Cui Cui Runyu, his face suddenly darkened.
"Let's see who of us wins."
"General Li, tell the truth."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Judging from Li Junxian's appearance, it must be very difficult.
"It's not ideal. At least half of our people were lost today."
"The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are prepared. Our four fire guns are not very effective."
Li Junxian said in a deep voice.
Had it not been for the use of firecrackers in certain places, the deaths would have been even greater.
"Fang Shangshu, is there no need to continue?"
Cui Runyu smiled slightly and said.
He was very satisfied with his first victory.
According to the current situation, their Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have a high chance of winning.
Even leaving Fang Yuan and others in Jiangnan is not impossible.
But Cui Runyu is afraid of the stronger weapons that Fang Yuan said.
Although Fang Yuan did not admit it directly, based on his understanding of Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan must have stronger weapons.
Some people say that the one who knows you best is your enemy.
This sentence is correct.
"It's really not necessary."
"Clan Chief Cui, please go slowly without seeing me off."
Fang Yuan nodded.
For Qiwang, who was prepared, there was really no need to continue.
At first, Fang Yuan thought that Jiangnan’s aristocratic families would not participate, but later they all participated.
And today's situation is that the big families in Jiangnan are even worse than our own, and the small and medium-sized families will soon gain victory.
By then, the situation for Fang Yuan and others will be even more difficult.
But this is not the reason why Fang Yuan decided not to continue.
But Qi Wang, the fifth surname, decided to leave the Tang Dynasty, so there is really no need to continue.
With the strength of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, they won't be the only one who can back up.
In the past few days in Jiangnan, apart from Cui Runyu, I have never seen any other patriarchs of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
It can be seen that they have plans.
"Farewell!"
Cui Runyu got up and left here.
"Fang Shangshu, what do you mean there is no need to continue?"
Li Junxian looked at Cui Runyu's leaving figure and said in a deep voice.
"As soon as they leave Datang, our affairs in Jiangnan will end."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Let them go like this?"
"What about our dead brothers?"
Li Junxian suddenly said angrily.
The people who came here this time were all Imperial Guardsmen who had worked with Li Junxian.
If so many people died but this result was achieved, wouldn’t all their deaths be in vain?
"Continue to fight. Do you have the magic weapon to win?"
"If yes, please continue."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
He didn't want to just let Cui Runyu go.
But now I don’t know where the heads of other prominent families are.
In this first decisive battle, our side has already lost more than half.
If the fight continues, the result will only be worse, and neither he nor Li Junxian may be safe.
"Yes"
Li Junxian opened his mouth, but had to lower his head.
Indeed, he had no better way to deal with the next situation.
If the fight continues, the soldiers brought here may stay here.
There are too many rivers and too many alleys here, which are not suitable for fire fighting.
"Be prepared to go back."
Fang Yuan sighed.
With that said, he stood up and left.
Li Junxian was sitting in the hall and wanted to get up several times to lead a counterattack.
But when he thought that all his brothers might die tragically in a foreign land because of him, he stopped again.
The reality is this. It is impossible to win unless a huge miracle comes.
Finally, Li Junxian sighed and asked someone to bring good wine and food to entertain the brothers who were still alive.
At dawn the next day, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan were fighting again, but Cui Runyu and others seemed to be leaving Jiangnan.
