Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ever since Mahamandoka launched a rebellion on the fifth watch of the night, the entire Linyi City has been in turmoil. At first, it was just some gangsters looting, but as time went by, more and more people joined in.  Amidst the vandalism and looting, the city was filled with flames and cries, and the entire Linyi City seemed to be in the end of the world.

    And this situation continued until the evening, when Mahamando Kadu finally took control of all the important departments of Linyi City, and at the same time, all the targets determined in advance were captured.  He then sent out troops to drive people on the streets back to their homes and severely punished those who participated in the robbery. Finally, he suppressed the unrest in Linyi City.

    However, it was at this time that the news of the death of his son Qiharo also reached the ears of Mahamando Kadu, which made him furious and ordered everyone in Zaiwang's house to be executed. As for those who followed Qiharo  The samurai were originally executed together because of poor protection, but because they had merit in this operation, and the people who attacked Qiharu were also killed by them, and it was also a time to employ people, he was spared.  These people were ordered to make amends for their capital crimes.

    Linyi City was successfully controlled by Mahamando Kadu, and all the ministers loyal to the royal family in the city were also captured by him. In addition, Fan Zhenlong was also in his hands, so his rebellion could almost be said to be successful.  But at this moment, something unexpected happened, and it was this incident that disrupted the entire rebellion plan.

    Mahamandoka alone died. On the night when the rebellion was successful, he gathered his cronies who participated in the rebellion in his house to celebrate. In full view of the public, Mahamandaka alone drank with everyone at the banquet in high spirits, and also  That's when.  Mahamandokadu, who had just drank the wine, suddenly changed his face, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. He fell to the table and twitched for a few times, then died immediately.

    Who poisoned you?  No one knew that afterward someone detected a poisonous substance in a dish in front of Mahamandokadu. One drop was enough to kill someone.  However, this issue is not what the people here are most concerned about. What they are most concerned about is that Mahamandoka has died alone.  And their rebellion was successful, so who should inherit the fruits of this success?

    People are very realistic. Although some people who are loyal to Mahamando Kadu want to find out the real murderer and avenge him, most people think about who will take the seat of Mahamando Kadu.  To inherit?  If Qiharo is still alive.  It doesn't matter even if Mahamandoka dies alone. After all, Qiharuo has long won the hearts of the people, and everyone just wants him to rise to power.

    But now Qiharuo is also dead, and the few remaining sons of Mahamando Kadu are ineffective. Letting them rise to the top will definitely not convince the public, so the most important thing now is to find someone who can replace Mahamando.  Gadu people.  To receive the fruits of successful rebellion.

    But unfortunately, Mahamandaka only believed in a policy of balance, and the same was true for his subordinates, such as in the army.  In addition to General Yitai, there are two other generals who also control armies of comparable strength. The strength of the three parties is balanced, and no one is willing to submit to the other.  In the past, when Mahamadokadu and Qihara were there.  Although there were disputes between the three generals, they generally lived in peace.  Now that their father and son are dead, there will no longer be anyone who can suppress the three generals.

    It is precisely because of this that after the death of Mahamando Kadu, the three people in Yitai first quarreled and then fought in order to compete for Mahamando Kadu's position. They even finally mobilized the army and began to attack each other, which made the situation peaceful just now.  The Linyi City that came down was once again in chaos, and it was even worse than the last time.

    Yang Jiu was a guest of Mahamando Kadu. Although many people had met him, very few people knew his identity. Others only knew that he was highly valued by Mahamando Kadu and could serve them well.  Weapons and armor are provided, but nothing else is known.

    As for the death of Mahamandokadu, although some people suspected that Yang Jiu was poisoned, Yang Jiu did not give them time to doubt. Instead, he stood up first and proposed that Mahamandokadu's death should be poisoned.  The second son Julu came out and proposed that he should succeed Mahamando Kadu. However, Julu was a young man who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun, so Yitai and other three generals all opposed it.

    However, although the three Yitai people objected, most of the other party members of Mahamando Kadu agreed, because they knew that if Kulu was not allowed to take the position, the three most powerful generals of Yitai would take away the horse.  Hemanduojiadu's position was usually held by everyone at the same level, but now they certainly didn't want to see the Yitai trio climbing on top of them.

    It is also true that, except for the three generals of Yitai, most of Mahamando Kadu's other party members supported Julu's ascension to the throne, and according to the original plan, they forced Fan Zhenlong to pass the throne to Julu.  Unfortunately, the three generals Yitai were very dissatisfied, so it turned out that Mahamando Ka aloneThe forces of Kulu suddenly split into four parts. The three generals of Yitai held heavy troops, so they were the strongest. Unfortunately, no one accepted the other and began to attack each other. Although the people who supported Kulu were scattered and relatively weak, Kulu was after all.  The son of Mahamando Kadu had a legitimate reputation, so Yitai and the others did not dare to attack.

    But just when Linyi City fell into chaos again due to the death of Mahamando Kadu.  Linyi Kingdom is divided into five major areas outside of the capital. Each of these five major areas is in charge of five people, known as chiefs. They usually obey the king's orders, and their status is equivalent to that of a provincial governor in later generations. However, this provincial governor is hereditary.  Moreover, it still holds military power, so in real terms, it is like a small vassal state in Linyi.

    The five chiefs of Linyi Kingdom were not as powerful as the king, so they all expressed their loyalty to the king of Linyi. Originally, if Mahamandoka was not dead and allowed him to control the back of Linyi City, and then let Fan Zhenlong pass the throne to him, he would have been justified.  Controlling the king's army, he will then divide and disintegrate the five chiefs. It is very likely that he will gain the allegiance of the five chiefs and become the new king of Linyi Kingdom.

    But it is a pity that Mahamandoka was poisoned to death for no apparent reason, and his most talented son Qiharu also died. This caused his remaining power to be divided into four parts, and no one would submit to the other.  After much difficulty, Lin Yicheng once again found himself in chaos.  In this case, the five chiefs immediately raised their troops and joined the king's army loyal to the royal family to attack Linyi City.

    Faced with this situation, General Yitaisan and Julu had to temporarily unite and start a fierce battle with the armies of the five chiefs. Unfortunately, they only had part of the king's army in their hands, even if they used the Tang armor and weapons provided by Yang Jiu  , but it was no match for the chiefs' coalition, so it was quickly defeated. At the same time, Linyi City was also breached, and the previously captured Minister Linyi was also released.

    But it is a pity that when the city of Linyi was destroyed, King Fan Zhenlong died in the rebellion, and the Fan royal family had already been slaughtered by Mahamandojia. The Fan royal family that had been passed down for hundreds of years no longer existed.  The person who can inherit the throne.

    Faced with this situation, the ministers got into a quarrel, and the five chiefs all had their own ambitions, and everyone wanted to replace them. However, everyone was about the same strength, and no one wanted to let anyone else take the throne, so in the end, a subtle  balance.  The ministers loyal to the royal family in Linyi City also took advantage of this balance to quickly determine the standard for the new king, that is, try to appoint someone who is close to Fan as the king.

    Speaking of which, although Fan Zhenlong was not a Ming Lord, the Fan family had ruled in Linyi for hundreds of years and had long won the hearts of the people. Therefore, there were many people loyal to the royal family. Even if the Fan family was exterminated, these loyal ministers  Feeling nostalgic, even if they wanted to appoint a foreigner as king, they still let him have a close relationship with the Fan family. This is the power of royal orthodoxy.

    It was under this standard that some ministers proposed that Brahman, Fan Zhenlong¡¯s brother-in-law and the religious leader of Linyi State, be the king. Brahman is not only the name of the religion of Linyi State, but also the leader is named after Brahman.  Since Brahman is a religious leader, he naturally has huge popularity, so this proposal received support from many people.

    According to the original history, after Mahamandoka rebelled and massacred all the Fan family, it was indeed a Brahmin who became the new king of Linyi. Unfortunately, after he came to power, he unified political and religious power, and many people in Linyi did not  She didn't want to see this happen, so she was eventually deposed and replaced by the Brahmin's wife, Fan Zhenlong's sister, as the queen of Linyi.  But it was a pity that the queen could not calm the situation. Later, she invited a cousin of the queen from Chenla to be the king, and the whole country finally settled down.

    Although Li Min didn't know the history above, and he didn't even know that there was a rebellion by Mahamandoga in Linyi's history, he was very good at seizing the opportunity. After getting the other party's intention to rebel, he took advantage of the other party's intention to rebel.  The Fan family was massacred, and then Yang Jiu and Yang Lie were asked to act secretly to assassinate Mahamandoga and his son, leaving the entire Linyi country without a master. Fan's son-in-law was even considered to inherit the throne.

    It was also under this circumstance that Fan Zhene, who had been sent to other places by Yang Jiu's people for a long time, finally came to the stage. When the ministers in Linyi City were discussing whether to let the Brahmin inherit the throne, Fan Zhene was among a group of people.  With the support of Han merchants, he returned to Linyi City, and as a royal member of the Fan family, he entered the city in a high-profile manner to calm the people, distributing food and clothing to the people who were deprived of food and clothing due to the war, and even brought many doctors to treat the injured.  Diagnosis and treatment of sick people.

    With this series of actions, Fan Zhene summoned the ministers in the city that the Fan family had not been exterminated. The Fan Zhene who had been humiliated by Fan Zhenlong was back!
