"This Hejian King's memorial is really despicable and shameless." The Hejian King had already issued a letter to the world, and Sima Ji of course received this letter. Now he is looking at how the Hejian King found a reason to start a military army.

After reading for a long time, Sima Ji had already summarized this memorial, which was to make a point. Although the King of Hejian listed many of the crimes of King Qi, it only showed that King Qi was domineering and domineering, and could not say that he wanted to usurp the throne and rebel.

The Eight Kings Rebellion finally reached the stage where there was no need to find a reason to raise an army. Sima Ji slowly stood up, glanced at Luo Yong and ordered, "I ordered all soldiers to return to the camp and remember the movements of Jizhou and Bingzhou. I heard that Bingzhou Governor Wang Jun and Liu Yuan met. If the King of Hejian raised his troops south, Wang Jun might come to attack."

Whether Sima Yong went south to Wang Jun eastward to carry out the same progress depends on whether Sima Yong really had a high opinion of himself. Based on Sima Ji's observation, this is very likely.

"The preparation for the direction of Jizhou still depends on the navy. The transportation of military rations cannot be separated from the assistance of the navy." Sima Ji ordered Yan Yan again in a blink of an eye, "Once the war begins, we will advance directly to Yecheng in the water and land, and give this uncle a surprise."

The Navy is so useful, but it has always been under the jurisdiction of mainland countries like China, and generally no one pays too much attention to it, so it has never been considered strong.

Sima Jiketai knew that the navy would make the enemy disgusted by the good use of the navy, so the Qing Dynasty was disgusted by the British Empire's navy. During the Opium War, the Qing army was a local war. Logically speaking, even if the military was backward, China has not lacked people since ancient times. It should gather large troops to play with a numerical advantage, but in fact the Qing army did not have a numerical advantage.

Theoretically, the Qing Dynasty had 200,000 Eight Banners and 600,000 Green Camps, and had 800,000 troops. However, these troops were distributed on 13 million square kilometers of territory, and there were also events that the Tibetan army had been mobilized to go to Jiangnan and the war had ended.

In almost every specific battle, the number of local defenders was not as large as that of the British. In general, there were only a thousand defenders in cities. After the British army fought, they waited until the Qing army came to help and boarded the ship to attack the next city again, and then cleaned up the defenders of the next city. This pirate-style fighting style made the Qing army stare at it. The First Opium War ended, and a group of ministers were still unwilling to accept it and scolded the British for being shameless.

In fact, this is not the problem of the Qing Dynasty itself. The Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty also had this kind of harassment tactic. They went ashore to find weak cities to attack. The Ming Dynasty army came to rescue them. The Japanese pirates disappeared without a trace on the ship, and then looked for the next one.

Although the canal is not a sea, shipping can help concentrating troops, which is the same. Yecheng itself is also a canal hub. Sima Ji has developed shipping for many years, and the navy has an absolute advantage. In other words, he can beat Sima Yong on the water, but Sima Yong cannot beat him. Where can I find such a good thing?

Since it is time to tear apart, Sima Ji must also express his position, but he must be cautious in his position, pointing out that although the King of Qi is suspected of autocracy, the rebellion mentioned in the King of Hejian’s memorial is a false thing. It is not worth refuting. On the contrary, the King of Hejian is ambitious and has to raise troops without the approval of the Emperor, which is equivalent to rebellion. This is to ignore the safety of the Emperor.

Sima Ji's memorial clarified Sima Ji's autocratic behavior and expressed that if he was dissatisfied, he could order Sima Ji to return to the ban in the name of the royal family, not stay in Luoyang to assist in the government, and even ensure the safety of the King of Qi for exchange. However, he must not use this reason to catch up with the wind and shadow.

This memorial did not defend Sima Ji, but pointed out that Sima Yong's use of this reason to raise troops was untenable. Once the local military town seized power without reason, the world would be in chaos.

"It is necessary to explain that the military and vassal kings cannot move troops to the center without reason." After Sima Ji finished writing, he asked Du Xi to polish his order, "The move of the Hejian king will set a dangerous precedent. All the kings have military and brigades, and they will fight like him. Where is the majesty of our Great Jin court?"

"What the King of Yan said is, was he just saying a few words for the King of Qi?" Du Xi suggested with the draft of the memorial. Du Xi believed that the King of Qi was now assisting the government and was more powerful than the King of Hejian, so it was not impossible to show goodwill.

"No, I am speaking on the side of the emperor. It does not mean that the King of Qi has no authority. Moreover, you have also seen Sima Yong's memorial. He wrote in the memorial that Sima Ying and Sima Yi were completely killing people with a knife. The situation is unclear and you cannot express your opinion easily. I am just attacking Sima Yong alone." Sima Ji shook his head flatly and said, "He must not do this, otherwise he may be in opposition to the three vassal kings at the same time.

The most important thing is that Sima Ji really has no confidence in Sima Ji. There are so many coups in history, but Sima Ji's failure is definitely a classic case, and he has no such great advantage and can be counterattacked.

Compared with the strength of each coup, Sima Yi faced Sima Ji's strength, which was much stronger than the prince Li Shimin faced. In front of Sima Yi, the Xuanwu Gate Incident can be said to be a coup with very low difficulty.

In this way, Sima Ji can be counter-killed, which shows that this King of Qi is definitely not a vassal king with military talents. Either Sima Yi's military talents are too strong and too popular. In short, Sima Ji dare not have too much confidence in Sima Ji.

As Sima Yong's edict arrived in Youzhou, Sima Ji quickly finished writing a memorial on the loopholes in the edict, which also stated that the edict of King Hejian was suspected of deliberately divisive King Qi and King Changsha, and the murder of someone with a knife.

Sima Ji's memorial was not for Sima Ji and Sima Yi to read, because Sima Yong's memorial had spread all over the world, and now it might have been learned by Sima Ji. It was too late for him to write memorials. Among Sima Ji and Sima Yi, only the surviving person could see this memorial.

Sima Ji wanted the living people to understand that Sima Yong was sowing discord, and fortunately he did not come out to stand up when the war started. Because of Sima Yong's memorial, Sima Ji was also stepping up preparations and ordering the Youzhou army to gather and prepare for battle, and ordering the cities close to Bingzhou and Jizhou to be careful of enemy invasions.

Sima Yong's secret envoy had already set out to Guanzhong before he issued a letter to the world, persuading Sima Ying and Sima Yong to stand together, and at the same time brought Sima Yong's conditions, which ordinary people could not refuse. The emperor had no descendants, so his younger brother was the person closest to blood relationship. The condition brought by Sima Yong was to support Sima Ying as the crown prince.
