Chapter 197 Wang Mang's New Deal (End)

A few months later
Chang'an (Chang'an)
Weiyang Palace

boom!
"My army of 42! My army of 42!"

"Trash! You are all trash!"

The news of Kunyang's disastrous defeat spread back to Chang'an City, and the democratically elected emperor Wang Mang was completely desperate.

With the end of the First World War in Kunyang and the exhaustion of the main force of the Xinmang regime, some powerful gentry who were still in a wait-and-see state for self-government also separated themselves one after another, recruiting troops and buying horses to compete in the world.

The Xinmang regime has completely lost control of the Kanto counties. Even in the Guanzhong area, the Xinmang regime can only control Chang'an City. Many counties in the Guanzhong area have announced their separation from the Xinmang regime, and many Guanzhong bandits have formed an alliance. Crusade against Wang Mang.

The Green Forest Army was divided into two groups, the main force was to attack Luoyang, then enter Tongguan, then enter Chang'an, and attack Wuguan with partial divisions, attracting Wang Mang's little remaining troops to share the pressure on the main battlefield in Luoyang.

The Red Eyebrow Army attacked the Kanto counties more wantonly, occupying nine counties, and was extremely powerful.

The Bronze Horse Army and other peasant rebels also took the opportunity to capture the city and separate themselves from one side.

Liu Xiu, the most shining star of the Green Forest Army, was feared by the bandits of the Green Forest Army because of his terrible record in the Battle of Kunyang. They persuaded Emperor Liu Xuan to kill Liu Xiu's brother Liu Yan and imprison Liu Xiu.

However, Liu Xuan finally couldn't bear to kill such a talent as Liu Xiu. After seeing Liu Xiu's obedience and obedience, he released Liu Xiu, hoping that Liu Xiu would fight for himself and eliminate other local separatist forces, large and small.

After Liu Xiu was released, the first thing she did was to marry Yin Lihua and fulfill her long-cherished wish. Then she bid farewell to Yin Lihua and went to Luoyang to preside over the battle. After Luoyang was captured, she accepted the order of Emperor Liu Xuan and continued northward to Hebei. , to appease the many separatist forces in Hebei.

"Liu Xiu! Liu Xiu! Why did the two Liu Xius offend Wang Mang?!"

Not long ago, Wang Mang killed Liu Xiu (Liu Xin) because he was suspicious of the national teacher Liu Xiu (Liu Xin). He thought that this would make the prophecy of "Liu Xiu be the Son of Heaven" disappear.

As a result, as soon as he killed Liu Xiu (Liu Xin), the news of the Kunyang Battle spread to Chang'an City, and his 42 army was defeated by another Liu Xiu.

At this time, the Guanzhong rebels had already taken the lead in entering Chang'an City.

The people in Chang'an City spontaneously followed the rebels into Weiyang Palace.

The imperial guards guarding the palace robbed wantonly in the palace, and ran out of Chang'an City after the robbery, not wanting to protect the emperor Wang Mang at all.

Da Sikong Wang Yi brought some eunuchs to defend the Weiyang Palace, but the eunuchs defected, killed Wang Yi, and surrendered to the Guanzhong rebels.

Weiyang Palace
Wang Mang hid in a hut and sealed off the hut with various debris.

This small room is usually used to store the dirty clothes of the concubines.

Wang Mang covered himself with all kinds of women's silk clothes, and came to deceive his ears.

Outside the house, there were sounds of rebels plundering the property of the palace, footsteps, bronze artifacts falling to the ground, and even the miserable cries of the maids being insulted by the rebels.

crackle crackle crackle!

"What's the situation, which bastard set the fire, you guys hurry to put out the fire!"

I don't know who is so unconscionable, and actually set fire to the palace while taking advantage of the chaos. A rebel general was yelling loudly outside the small room, and ordered his men to rush to put out the fire.

"Hasn't that bastard Wang Mang been found yet?" Outside the small house, another rebel general was leading a group of people around the palace looking for Wang Mang's hiding place.

At this moment, a rebel soldier was stuffed with all kinds of pearl necklaces, gold and copper coins, and he was smiling happily with his head down. He was going to take the wealth back to his hometown for land annexation, so that he could be a powerful man in the future , can also join the upper class society.

Snapped!
"You bastard!"

The rebel general slapped the rebel soldier on the face and reprimanded him angrily: "Son of a bitch, the wealth in this palace belongs to His Majesty the Emperor (Liu Xuan). When the Emperor comes to his loyal Chang'an, look How can you explain how you look like in the palace?"

The Guanzhong rebels knew that they were weak and could not occupy Chang'an for a long time, so they contacted the Green Forest Army before taking Chang'an. The Marquis makes it possible for future generations to enjoy it.

They attacked Chang'an, all for the Green Forest Army.

If the palace was ruined, there would be no way to explain to Liu Xuan, that's why the rebel generals would reprimand those heartless rebel soldiers.

"Have you caught those bastards who insulted the maid?"

"Caught!"

"Damn, I said that the palace is to be handed over to the Green Forest Army. You can't ruin it. If you ruin it, you can't do business. How come there are some bastards who don't obey the military order and defile the maid as soon as they enter the palace. Everyone draws ten whip!"

"Forgive me, General. The subordinates really couldn't hold back for a while, and they will definitely not dare next time."

"Damn it, there's still a next time. The military order is like a mountain, and there are three chapters in the agreement. If you say ten lashes, you will be ten lashes!"

The rebel generals outside the house are maintaining order and punishing rebel soldiers who do not obey military orders.

At this moment, the rebel general suddenly pointed to the cabin whose door was tightly closed and said, "You guys, open this room."

"No!" Several rebel soldiers found that they couldn't open the door, so they began to demolish it directly.

Finally, the door of the wooden house was opened, and the concubine's silk clothes that had not been washed for a long time in the house gave off a sour smell.

The rebel soldiers didn't care, and began to scramble for these sour silk clothes, which were all very valuable.

This time, the generals of the rebel army did not continue to stop them. Although the complete palace was to be handed over, the palace could not be damaged or looted too much, but taking a few pieces of silk clothes would not be a big deal.

Wang Mang, who was hiding in the pile of silk clothes, was heartbroken and could only silently wait for the fate to come.

Then, Wang Mang's head was exposed.

"Fuck!"

"There is a person hidden in the pile of clothes!"

The rebel soldiers who were "taking" the silk clothes were taken aback.

Wang Mang jumped out of his sour clothes, trying to escape, but...

"He is Wang Mang, don't let him run away!" The rebel general shouted, leading the rebel soldiers to hunt down Wang Mang, and caught Wang Mang after a while.

"Let me live. When I return to the country in the future, I will make you three princes and nine ministers, and everyone will be appointed as worship generals!" Wang Mang is still struggling for the last time.

"Rejuvenating the country? What are you kidding?" The rebel general smiled disdainfully. How could it be so easy to restore the country? It's better to take Wang Mang's head and go to the Green Forest Army for credit.

Wang Mang was completely desperate, and he couldn't help but think of his own life.

He didn't understand what he did wrong, what step he took wrong.

His first half of life was so brilliant, his family nurtured him wholeheartedly, and his uncle Wang Hongyin who was the prefect took good care of him, and his uncle Wang Hongnian who was the great general Sima gave him a promotion before his death, and another When the empress dowager's Wang Zhengjun supported him to become the great Sima, all the scholars in the world supported him, and the people praised him as a saint.

This was supposed to be a brilliant life, but it changed completely after he usurped the throne.

The scholars began to break with him, the family no longer supported him, the people began to curse him, the officials were perfunctory to him, and the soldiers had no loyalty to him.

Since he usurped the throne, he has changed from a saint admired by all to a lone husband despised by all.

"Obviously everyone in the world supports me to usurp the throne, and I have fulfilled the wishes of the people in the world, but why is this happening now? Why are everyone against me?"

"Obviously everyone in the world supports my usurpation of the throne, but why do people in the world oppose me when I really usurp the throne?"

Wang Mang didn't understand why things had developed to this point, and he didn't have time to think about the reasons.

"You can die, elected emperor Wang Mang."

"Uh-"

The rebel general didn't care what Wang Mang was thinking, so he killed Wang Mang directly and cut off Wang Mang's head.

The sage Wang Mang, in the end, betrayed his relatives and died so miserably.
