After replying in the affirmative, he consulted with Song Tingjie and wrote a letter requesting orders to Jingxiang to quell the rebellion and delivered it to the messenger, telling him to be sent back to Dadu as soon as possible.

Answer: Badulu had experience in counterinsurgency, and knew that the matter could be done as quickly as possible, so he acted separately with Song Tingjie, and asked Song Tingjie to go to some Jingxiang clans and large households to collect manpower and money and food on his behalf, and he went to seek help from the Pingzhang government affairs in Sichuan Province.

Biting and reading Toto's secret letter, and listening to the counterinsurgency plan of Badulu, he also felt that it was feasible, so he made an agreement with him.

As long as Badulu could raise 10,000 strong men, he promised to use the 3,000 Tanma Red Army in his hand to help him.

Although Toto's response was quite sophisticated, and Badulu was also trying his best to speed up the recruitment of soldiers, the serious consequences of the loss of Xiangyang were beyond their expectations.

The first month of the twelfth year is destined to be an extraordinary year.

After Meng Haima got in touch with Han Lingyue and Liu Futong through the mysterious black-robed man, he not only won a high degree of support from the Northern Red Turban Army, allowing them to decide their own military affairs, but also quickly won the approval of the local people.

Meng Haima knew that he would inevitably be subjected to the Yuan court's frenzied retaliation, so he sent many of his men to secretly contact the ambitious righteous men in the nearby area, inviting them to join in the uprising and deal with the upcoming large number of Yuan troops.

Among these righteous soldiers, Wang Quan and Zhang Chun responded the most timely and acted the fastest, and they led the villagers to revolt and then attacked Nanyang Mansion directly.

Although the generals of the Yuan army had increased their vigilance and strengthened their precautions after the fall of Xiangyang, they still did not expect the righteous army to come so suddenly.

The Yuan army Xuanhui made Tomur lead the defenders out of the city to fight the rebels head-on, but was defeated by Wang Quan and Zhang Chun in Wollongong, and Temur himself was beheaded by Wang Quan on the spot.

Wang Quan and Zhang Chun then led the righteous army to attack Nanyang with victory, and captured and beheaded 27 civil and military officials such as the Yuan army general Dalu Geqi and the prefect Zhou Xi to settle the army's heart, and Nanyang Mansion fell into the hands of the righteous army, and the nearby people came to vote.

Xiangyang Road and Nanyang Mansion fell one after another, and Meng Haima, Wang Quan, and Zhang Chun's two rebel armies were able to connect with each other geographically and help each other.

In order to distinguish them from the Northern Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong and the Southern Red Turban Army led by Xu Shouhui, they called themselves the "Northern Red Turban Army" and the "Southern Red Turban Army".

With the experience of the past, this time the battle report of Nanyang Mansion was delivered to Toto's hand as soon as possible, and Mo said that this prince was frightened by this, and Emperor Zhizheng, who had stayed in some Langwu songs and dances all day, was also shocked when he heard about it.

Since this incident alarmed the emperor, Tokhtar could no longer show that the household department had no money to do things, so he had to make the household department immediately print paper money to cover military expenses.

Under the financial pressure of this time, the Yuan court in the 11th year of Zhizheng failed to change the banknotes, the emperor personally issued an edict to print 1.9 million ingots of Zhongtong Yuanbao and 100,000 ingots of Yuan banknotes.

Although this decision temporarily solved the problem of military expenses for the expedition of the army and relieved the financial pressure of the Yuan court, the consequences were undoubtedly extremely serious.

In addition to the common people, even some merchants and shopkeepers were extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court's measures, and this unpopular decree was issued, and it quickly spread to the north and south of the river, and the number of people who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Yuan court and defected to the Red Turban Army quickly increased.

The Yuan court's response to this was a ferocious and brutal suppression, and in order to recover Nanyang Mansion as soon as possible, the Privy Council sent a general to lead 20,000 elite troops to quell the rebellion.

On the Henan side, Timur, who was waiting for Lao Zhang's reinforcements, also received a secret letter from his brother urging the army, instructing him to be different from the past, and to be sure to recover the land as soon as possible to suppress the arrogance of the red turban thieves.

The local generals in the Henan region also received edicts, ordering them to organize their own local troops to launch a counterattack against the Red Turban Thieves, and those who recovered the lost land would be rewarded heavily.

Richard, who is willing to contribute to the country, is always concerned about the war and the changes in the situation in the court, and this kind of news is a good opportunity that he has been waiting for for a long time.

After properly settling his family, Richard Han resolutely took his family wealth and once again walked out of the capital and went straight to the center of the war in Henan.

The first thing Li Chahan wanted to find was Dong Junxiao, the general manager of Jining Road, who had dealt with him, and because he had the experience of fighting side by side and being part of the same party, Dong Junxiao received him warmly.

"How is Manager Dong doing?" Although Li Chahan is Kang Liwei's son-in-law, he has not learned the skills of his father-in-law in the officialdom.

Although Dong Junxiao is also a martial artist, because of his Han identity, he has already been forced to learn the art of self-preservation in the officialdom, and he thinks twice when he says and does things.

"Dong is not as good as General Li, he can be the fast son-in-law of Prime Minister Kangli, and he has only achieved the position of the head of Jining Road for many years, and he is busy fighting with red scarf thieves all day long."

Li Chahan smiled bitterly: "Manager Dong knows better than anyone else about the fact that his father-in-law was forced to go into the wilderness, so why do you want to be sarcastic about me again?" ”

Dong Junxiao hurriedly waved his hand, "We Han people have an old saying, called 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', although Prime Minister Kang Li fell behind in the party struggle for a while, but his heritage and prestige accumulated over the years still exist, Dong is too late to envy, how can it be sarcastic about you?" ”

When Li Chahan heard him say this, he sighed meaningfully, and told him about his experience of becoming a cowardly Xue approaching the prince and being expelled from the capital by Ru Zhongbai.

Dong Shuxiao was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and slammed his fist on the armrest of the chair with all his might, and said hatefully: "These powerful ministers really deserve to die!" If you can really go straight to heaven and tell the chaos of the demon sect and thieves, so as to attract the attention of the saints, how can the world be so chaotic now? ”

Li Chahan snorted coldly, "After all, I underestimated the pickling methods of those people, otherwise His Royal Highness, who is talented and intelligent during the holidays, will definitely be reused for me, and these thieves who committed chaos Li are not ready to be caught!" ”

Dong Shuxiao nodded, Li Chahan's ability is very clear to him, what the court lacks most at the moment is a general who can lead troops to fight, not those civil servants who guide the country and intrigue with each other.

"Brother Li came here to look for me, I'm afraid it's not just to vomit the bitter water in his stomach, right?"

After Dong Junxiao and Li Chahan reminisced, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and they called him much more affectionate.

Li Chahan replied solemnly: "Yes, I came to find Manager Dong this time because I have something important to discuss with you. ”
