Chapter 386: Two Battle Reports from Jiangnan
A low-level general covered in mud crawled to the top of the main hall, and a five-body bowed to the ground, just whimpered twice, and passed out like that.
Immediately, a golden-armored warrior ran over to help, Yang Jian hurriedly took the package on the general's body, opened it and took a look, then gasped and trembled and presented it to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji glanced at it and turned pale with fright, and hurriedly shuddered and asked Yang Jian to read it to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces.
Yang Jian's voice trembled and read the battle report aloud. The battle report said: Fang La, a Manichaean sect in the south of the Yangtze River, played a slogan of crusading against Zhu Mian, rebelled in Hangzhou Mansion, defeated the Ningwu army in one day and night, captured the city of Hangzhou, and captured the entire territory of Hangzhou in three days. By the time the 800-mile expedited war report was issued, the anti-thief Fang La had already gathered hundreds of thousands of thieves, and there were anti-thieves entering Huzhou, Yuezhou, Wuzhou, Xiuzhou, Suzhou, and Muzhou. Chen Jian, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, and Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Visit, have both been poisoned by Manichaean thieves.
The entire Zichen Hall could be heard, and everyone was stunned by the news.
After a long while, Zhu Mian finally reacted, and hurriedly ran to the jade steps and knelt on the ground, begging His Majesty the Emperor to confess.
The Manichaean rebellion was naturally because of Huashigang, and everyone in the court knew it. Next, the civil and military officials began a new round of quarrels, first discussing whether to appease or suppress, and then to discuss who would lead the troops. As for Tian Shiyi's matter, no one paid attention to it at all.
Compared with Tian Shiyi and Liangshan, who were petty and troublesome, the land south of the Yangtze River was the source of money and food for the Great Song Dynasty. If the land south of the Yangtze River was lost, the Song Dynasty would have no capital to stand up, and if it could not exterminate the Manichaean rebels, the entire Great Song Dynasty would be overthrown in an instant.
——
Tian Shiyi also received the news of the Manichaean rebellion at this time, but the news he received was in Zhao Ji's share, but there were two versions.
The cause of the incident still has to start with the crooked mouth toad cup. Zhao Ji held a shameless treasure appraisal meeting, Zhu Mian went back and immediately sent someone to see his father Zhu Chong, saying that no matter what method is used, no matter what price is paid, we must find a new toad cup as soon as possible, and the more the better. If you can find the source of the toad cup, it will be even better.
Seeing the letter from his own son, Zhu Chong began to have difficulties. Toad cups are not those big stones, where can it be said that there are them. The Fanren sea boat that sold toad cups on the sea sent people to it, but it was too expensive, and the people sent by Zhu Chong didn't bring so much money, so they couldn't buy it back. The Jiangnan Sailor and the Fuzhou Sailor always had "shipwrecks", and they couldn't go to sea to snatch it at all, and the Quanzhou Sailor was firmly held in Tong Guan's hands, and the Zhu family couldn't reach into it at all.
When Zhu Chong was in trouble, Liu Xuan, who had recently been in Zhu's mansion, came to visit. Liu Xuan has always wanted to find Fang Baihua and Tian Shiyi to take revenge, and now is the perfect opportunity for him.
Liu Xuan said to Zhu Chongchen that the last bottle of crooked mouth toad cup came from the Sanxiang Association, and if you want a toad cup, you naturally have to start with the Sanxiang Association. Liu Xuan proposed that Old Man Zhu directly accept Fang Baihua, the head of the Sanxiang Association, as a concubine, as long as Fang Baihua is caught in his hand, he will naturally know where the toad cup comes from. If Fang Baihua didn't know, it didn't matter, it was just a number of concubines. Recommended reading: sm. s..
As soon as Zhu Chong heard this, he felt reasonable, and immediately sent someone with a sedan chair to carry Fang Baihua back. The Zhu family is known as the small imperial court in the southeast, and if they want a civilian woman to be a concubine, they don't need to be so troublesome as three media and six hires, they just need to bring it back directly.
Liu Xuan was overjoyed, but he didn't forget that he was beaten by Fang Xiaoliu at the beginning, and hurriedly said that Fang Baihua had a niece who was born with a natural beauty, so it was better to bring it back together to be a concubine. The aunt and nephew and the two daughters serve the same husband, that is the joy of all people.
Zhu Chong is not a good person, and it is impossible for a good person to have so much power. Hearing what Liu Xuan said, he was really tempted, so he asked Liu Xuan to lead more than 100 private troops, and took two small sedan chairs to carry people directly.
All the way to the riverside courtyard, Liu Xuan directly ordered someone to crash open the door, and the two small sedan chairs were carried into the courtyard, and the face was full of pride to announce the decision of the master of the Zhu family to accept Fang Baihua and Fang Xiaoliu as concubines.
The private soldiers of the Zhu family immediately rushed over to arrest people, Fang Baihua and Fang Xiaoliu looked at Liu Xuan coldly, and neither of them moved.
With a "bang", the gate of the other courtyard suddenly closed, and the two hundred ace soldiers who stayed in the other courtyard came out in an instant, cutting melons and cutting vegetables, killing more than 100 private soldiers of the Zhu family, and Liu Xuan, who was so frightened that his face changed color, was also tied up.
Fang Baihua is kind-hearted, but after all, she was raised by her father according to the standards of a marshal of the First Army, and she was extremely decisive at the critical moment.
The Zhu family was powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, and after killing more than 100 private troops of the Zhu family, Hangzhou City would definitely not be able to stay.
For a while, the warning information and fireworks of the Tianci Alliance in the entire Hangzhou Mansion continued to flash, and the important people of the Tianci Alliance rushed to the planned hiding place for a while. The Tianci Alliance has developed too fast, and the retreat plan formulated first is no longer applicable at this time, and Niu Tong must be allowed to lead troops into the city to respond.
The fireworks alarm has already spread to the rocky slope, and according to the training level of the Tianci army, it will not take an hour for Niu Tong to enter the city.
At this time, Fang La also heard that Zhu Chong sent someone to rob his daughter and sister as concubines. Because of the unequal news, and the fact that the focus of Manichaeism was shifting to the sea, Fang La did not know whether his daughter and sister were snatched away by Zhu Chong. However, all the people of the Heavenly Alliance in the city disappeared out of thin air, and there was not even one who could ask for news.
Fang La, who was furious, immediately ordered the three major Manichaean battalions to besiege Hangzhou City, and he took all the good men in Hangzhou City and went straight to the courtyard where Fang Baihua lived.
When Zhu Chong heard that the private army he sent out had been killed, he immediately became furious, and while sending a large group of private troops to the other courtyard to take revenge, he ordered the Ning Wu army to blockade the whole city. By the time the Zhu family's private army arrived at the other courtyard, Fang Baihua and the others had already gone to the hiding place prepared in advance, but at this time, Fang La just happened to bring people to arrive.
