Chapter 321 The situation in Nanman and Nanjiang
By the time other countries around discovered the advanced waterwheel, it had been a month since the advanced waterwheel was officially introduced in the Southern Dynasty.
During this month, the Southern Dynasty was in full swing, and the production of advanced waterwheels was in full swing.
As advanced waterwheels appeared one after another on the ridges of fields in various parts of the Southern Dynasty, kinetic crystals were placed one after another, and the sound of flowing water and cheers continued to echo everywhere in the Southern Dynasty.
This naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding countries.
The palace of the Nanman Kingdom.
Emperor Manyou has not had a good time in the past month.
Suddenly, someone in the folk claimed to be the only bloodline of the Prince of Nanli, the Nan'an who was supposed to die in the sea of fire!
Not only that, Nan'an also announced to the outside world that the King of Dragons, who was worshipped as a god by the Nanman people, was now in his body! And the high and mighty Manyou Emperor was not of the orthodox Nanman royal bloodline, and did not have the possibility of raising the King of Dragons!
Moreover! The truth behind Nan Li's death that year was a murder led by Prime Minister Su! He was also the real grandfather of Emperor Manyou!
Once this news broke out, Emperor Manyou was directly panicked, and even Prime Minister Su, who was always calm and composed, was full of worry.
Because this time, Nan'an not only blatantly exposed his previous plan, regardless of where Nan'an got this news, the more crucial thing was that the news that Emperor Manyou was not of the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family was completely exposed! In
recent years, because they could not take out the King of Gu, Emperor Manyou and Prime Minister Su had to use tough measures to break the status of Gu among the people of Nanman. However, no matter how they oppressed them, the effect was counterproductive.
Prime Minister Su had calculated everything, but he never expected that the King of Gu needed the orthodox blood of the Nanman royal family to be raised. Even the other Gu of the Nanman royal family must be of the orthodox blood of the Nanman royal family to be raised. This also caused them to be unable to use ordinary royal Gu to impersonate the King of Gu!
If he had known earlier, Prime Minister Su would have kept a royal bloodline! But now it's too late to say anything!
If the man who claimed to be Nan'an was really a child of Nanli, then this matter could not be resolved by suppression alone. The key point was that Nan'an had also assembled a team from nowhere and directly raised the banner of rebellion! He caught Emperor You and Prime Minister Su off guard and immediately organized the imperial army to encircle and suppress him.
However, the 200,000 northern troops of the Southern Dynasty were not vegetarians either. They directly withstood several waves of encirclement and suppression by the Nanman imperial army. Moreover, it was a coincidence that in each encirclement and suppression, the Nanman imperial army suffered heavy casualties, while the Southern Dynasty army only suffered wounded soldiers but no one was killed.
I don't know if it was God's blessing...
At the same time, as Nan'an's words gradually spread, more and more Nanman people began to believe what he said and began to join the uprising army.
Originally, the people of Nanman had been quite dissatisfied with the fact that Emperor Manyou had not brought out the King of Gu in recent years.
You know, the King of Gu is the real supreme being in the hearts of the people of Nanman, but because of his special nature, he can only be fed by the blood of the Nanman royal family. According to custom, the Nanman royal family should hold a parade for the King of Gu every few years to give the people a chance to admire the King of Gu. However
, since the death of the Crown Prince of Nanli, until the accession of Emperor Manyou in the past ten years, the people of Nanman have never seen the King of Gu again. How could this not make the people suspicious?
In addition, after Emperor Manyou succeeded to the throne, the policies implemented together with Prime Minister Su became more and more harsh, which made the people of Nanman even more dissatisfied, and the voices of protests from all over the country grew one after another.
Now, someone claims that he is the orthodox blood of the Nanman royal family, and the flesh and blood of the Prince of Nanli. The most important thing is that the King Gu is in his body!
This shocking news made those who had doubts before more certain of their inner guesses. In addition, the people who joined the uprising army saw the King Gu with their own eyes, so they couldn't help but believe it!
Therefore, after the uprising, Nan'an was very smoothly joined by countless people.
As the news spread, the uprising army became larger and larger. With the continuous supply of food from the Southern Dynasty, the mighty generals and the Southern Dynasty generals trained the uprising army well. In just half a month, the uprising army was able to fight back and forth with the court army, and even had the upper hand.
The key is that even the imperial army has gradually secretly joined the rebel army in Nan'an.
Although they are the imperial army of Nanman, they are still the people of Nanman at heart, and their admiration for the King of Gu is engraved in their bones!
As more and more rumors about the rebel army spread among the people, many imperial army members began to believe that the emperor they are now loyal to is not the orthodox bloodline of the Nanman royal family. What they can't accept is that the King of Gu is not in the emperor!
Therefore, after the rebel army faced the imperial army, it was simply unstoppable. Less than half a month later, they had already reached the capital of Nanman.
It was when Emperor Manyou was in a state of panic that the news of the Southern Dynasty's advanced waterwheel reached Nanman, further arousing the dissatisfaction and even resentment of the people of Nanman towards Emperor Manyou! The
neighboring Southern Dynasty was a country several times stronger than Nanman. How could their majesty be so considerate of the people and provide such advanced agricultural tools to the people for free without asking for anything in return!
What about their Nanman majesty? All he does is squeeze! He can't even get the King of Du out!
Therefore, the Southern Dynasty's advanced waterwheel inadvertently added fuel to the revenge plan against Nan'an!
And the situation in Southern Xinjiang was smoother than that in Nanman.
The appearance of He Lanzhen immediately made the people of Southern Xinjiang despise the actions of the Southern Xinjiang royal family.
The Southern Dynasty delegation also took advantage of the public outrage to make public the fact that He Lanzhen had used despicable means to murder the Southern Dynasty's Prince An and General Longxi, and demanded an explanation from Southern Xinjiang!
At the same time, they also made a big fuss about the fact that He Lanzhen had been partying with different bastards of the Southern Dynasty every night!
Under the covert manipulation of Princess Yunyue, Lu Heng, and Prince Lan, Linglong Pavilion released a new piece of news, and it was this news that greatly promoted the progress of the Southern Dynasty delegation's mission!
The news was "If you are in an improper position and have improper morals, you will eventually cause great disasters and offend the people! Only by rectifying the chaos can you solve the problem!"!
Once the news came out, it caused an uproar!
Combined with the current situation in Southern Xinjiang, it is hard not to make the people of Southern Xinjiang think too much!
As a result, rumors gradually began to get closer to the truth!
"I said there was something strange about the eldest prince's death! Now it seems that it was that person (pointing finger upwards) who did it!"
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Do you still want the head?"
"What brains are needed! Now the Southern Dynasty has come to call for punishment. With the stupid things done by the current and previous national masters, the Southern Dynasty may attack us at any time! They are now using courtesy first and then force. If the national master can't come up with a good solution, the Southern Dynasty will definitely send troops directly in later! Then won't we be stupid enough?"
"So if we want to crack it now, we have to do as Linglong Pavilion said, to set things right? But where is this?"
