This army, which has only experienced dozens of major wars, is not an exaggeration to call it the "First Army of Southern Qi".

Lu Qifang once said with a smile that if the prince was gone, he would simply help her ascend the throne, he dared to be willing to cut his body and help out a female emperor.

Guo Wenying just smiled when she heard it, she really didn't want to sit in that position, the most boring thing in the world was to sit as the emperor. If you don't talk about being alone, you are most hated.

The two talked about the battle plan, and Lu Qifang said, "How long do you plan to end the battle?"

Guo Wenying thought for a while, "If you fight all the way from Fuzhou to Zhangzhou for twenty days, it is enough, but it may not be easy to get rid of Jiang Taiping, and there are too many coastal bandits, and it takes too much energy to suppress the bandits." ”

Lu Qifang nodded, "Those things about bandits can be talked about later, defeat Jiang Taiping's main force first, and return to Beijing to help the prince is the right thing." ”

Guo Wenying also thinks so, the most important thing now is to help Feng Jingting ascend the throne. Only when he becomes the emperor can they have a way to live.

She then ordered the New Southern Army to take a break for more than a month, and went all the way to the sea, landing from Panyu and penetrating directly into Zhangzhou, and then going to Dehua to Longyan and then to Zhangzhou on the other road.

Zhangzhou is very close to Panyu, if it is not that there are not so many ships to transport a large number of sailors, taking the waterway is the best shortcut. However, this is also good, if the navy arrives first, it can attack the city first, and the army can arrive within two days at the latest, and the navy will unite to form an encirclement situation, and take Zhangzhou is just around the corner.

Guo Wenying didn't like to take a boat, so she exchanged with Lu Qifang, he took Xu Hai by water, and she took Xu Heng by land.

On 17 May, the New Southern Army marched to Zhangzhou.

Jiang Taiping got the news and hurriedly sent troops to snipe, but neither the water nor land routes stopped the footsteps of the New Southern Army. In Quanzhou, Xu Hai took seven naval ships and sank all the Nanling naval ships that were potential in Quanzhou Bay, and then the army went south, landed on Panyu, and attacked Zhangzhou with forty artillery pieces.

No matter how strong the city wall of Zhangzhou is, how can it compare with Jingzhou in the northwest? Siege warfare was the strong point of the Northwest Army in those years, and when the New Southern Army arrived overnight by land, the siege battle was already coming to an end.

The two sides attacked, Jiang Taiping saw that something was wrong, opened the west city gate, and fled overnight.

On May 28, Zhangzhou was broken, and then the New Southern Army crushed several cities attached to Jiang Taiping, and the Great Zhou regime, which had been established for only a few months, completely disappeared.

Although Jiang Taiping fled, the southeastern forces belonging to him were gradually cut off. It's just that letting this person escape is a great hidden danger after all.

On 29 May, Guo Wenying led his troops into Zhangzhou City.

The place in the city, which is said to be called the imperial palace, is really magnificent, with pavilions, palaces, and rockeries in the garden, which is really beautiful. This huge complex of buildings is by no means a day's work, it can be seen that Jiang Taiping has long selected the place of the imperial palace, it took several years of painstaking efforts to build, once it can not attack Kyoto, it will be established here. But it's a pity that the palace is easy to build, and it is not necessarily whether there is life or not.

In the backroom palace of the pseudo-royal palace, there are even more beautiful women and thousands of gorgeous. After Jiang Taiping proclaimed himself emperor, he began to search for beauties and treasures. Those beauties that he can't take away, a dazzling array of jewelry and jade, and all kinds of treasures, can be seen everywhere.

Guo Wenying ordered the soldiers not to infringe on the women in the palace, not to pick up and loot treasures at will, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded. Fortunately, the military discipline of the Xinnan Army is still strict, and there is no situation where soldiers are rushing wildly for a while.

A search was carried out throughout the palace, and Qin Yuefang's hanged body was found in one of the palaces, and she did not look like she had committed suicide, but was hanging on the beams of the house. Obviously, before Jiang Taiping fled in a hurry, he did not forget to give death to this wife.

It's just that the palace where Qin Yuefang lives is very simple, and it doesn't look like the Fengyi Palace where the queen lives, but I didn't expect Jiang Taiping to not crown her as the queen. After all the calculations, after so many years of camping, did she ever expect that she would have this day?

It's also an acquaintance, so there's no need to leave it here. Guo Wenying asked her body to be removed from the beam of the house and found a place to bury her at will.

As for whether to stay or not of this huge palace complex, it is not up to her to decide, only to let people move some valuables such as jewelry and gold, and then withdraw from Zhangzhou with troops.

Since then, the one-year-and-eight-month-long southeast peace turmoil has finally come to an end, and facts have once again proved what a rare general Guo Wenying is.

The New Southern Army won a complete victory, and after withdrawing to Ningde, a grand celebration banquet was held in Qinchaxingyuan.

After this battle, Guo Wenying became famous in the southeast, and everyone knew that the commander Guo was a hero who quelled the chaos. There are many people who scold her behind her back, and there are many people who praise her, and some people say that Guo Wenying, Guo Yingying, sounds like a brittle life, and he was born to be a hero.

After Guo Wenying heard this, her mouth cracked into persimmons. Hero? Where is her heroic life, she is tired life.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Qifang was the first to toast Guo Wenying, and said loudly: "Wenying, if there is no you, the battle in the southeast will be fought for at least another three years." You are the first hero of Southern Qi. ”

Xu Heng and Xu Haixin below said, leave it to us to fight, and we may not be able to win after 30 years. Everyone knows that what really played a powerful role on the battlefield was the warships and artillery built by Guo Wenying. He Shengliang, who was born of Yu, met Guo Wenying, and could only be regarded as Jiang Taiping's bad luck.

A cadre of generals toasted Guo Wenying one after another, especially Xu Hai, Xu Heng, and Lu Qi, pulling Guo Wenying to drink non-stop, but she refused to drink, so she asked someone to pull it and force it. Lu Qi had a lot of eyes and wilted and wilted, and he was making a coax there, and the group had to see what she looked like when she was drunk.

Guo Wenying was also happy, and couldn't help but drink two more glasses, but then she had a headache, so she secretly asked Pi Xiaosan to pour a pot of cold water for her, and reluctantly drank fake wine to cope with it.

That night the lights were bright, and a group of people threw off their cheeks and ate and drank, and many drank from dark to dawn, and then rolled under the table and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that there were many people missing from the hall, some rolled under the table, some were lying in the courtyard outside, and some were sleeping in the thatched pit. ”

A bunch of drunk cats, Guo Wenying all asked people to throw them away, she didn't serve drunk here, where did she go.

It took two days for the wine to cease completely.

On the third day of June, the New Southern Army went north to rescue. Leaving 20,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress in the southeast, Lu Qi led the pursuit of Jiang Taiping's remnants, and the rest of the men and horses were all brought to Kyoto by Xu Heng and Xu Hai. At this time, Guo Wenying was considered to have done everything, and she really handed over the errand.
