Bai Gui has something to say, everyone knows where the heart of the central seal of this Yue King lies, in the past two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, even in Liaodong, there has been no such chaos, just seal a Yue King who is not in the canon, Ye Mingchen is a Jinshi, so he naturally understands the truth.

As for the King of Liang he said, of course, he refers to the stepping stone of the Mu family in Yunnan, he is a Han who wants to be the country of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Ye Mingchen doesn't care.

When he first got the news of this king of Yue, he was simply exploding, but now he is relaxed, what about King Yue, he is also a king, although the center is messing around with the name of a king of Yue, not to say whether this is the king of the county or the prince, nine times out of ten it is used to contain the red thief.

But he is a scholar, one day he can be crowned king, open the southern country, what a glory, how can he resign the king of this Yue king, he said with a smile: "Futai said well, said well, the mountains and rivers of the southern country, in the future, I will rely on Futai more!" ”

Bai Gui touched his nose, but he was not angry, he looked at Mu Tern, the general of Guangzhou, you are a full-fledged general of Guangzhou, you have to come forward and say a few words at this life-and-death juncture: "General, don't you say a few words?" ”

Mu Teen said calmly: "King Yue, Wu Mu Tesi has a head waiting for His Royal Highness King Yue to come down at any time to take it, but the city is full of tens of thousands of eight flags, all waiting for King Yue to open his grace!" ”

He actually made his words clear, Bai Gui felt that the world was crazy, he was a Mongol and still had to maintain the Qing Dynasty in the south to turn the tide, and Mu Teen, such a Manchurian, and also a noble among the Manchus, not only agreed with Ye Mingchen's idea of becoming king, but even prepared to prepare this head as a vote for Ye Mingchen's uprising.

Ye Mingchen thanked him with tears: "Thank you old friend Mutern, if there is a day, I will definitely protect the whole city...... Hey......"

Bai Gui didn't expect the state affairs to be so serious, he asked, "The red thief is ...... now"

Ye Mingchen immediately said in an extremely respectful tone: "Since I was born in the world, I have been blessed with the emperor's grace, and I have been in the Qing Dynasty since I entered the customs. Literary and military strategy, since the opening of Pangu can be called the first, but the country is difficult, sometimes, I am ready to fly! ”

"Thanks!" Mutern is an interesting person: "Please make sure that the city is in good condition!" ”

Bai Gui sighed: "State affairs have reached such a difficult point? ”

He was generally aware of the situation in China, and although the state affairs were difficult, the red thieves had now taken all the three provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and also occupied most of Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, and Hubei. But it is only a shock to the seven provinces, compared to the Qing Dynasty, according to the internal and external customs, at least it can only be said that it is a three-point world.

After thinking about it carefully, Bai Gui recalled that if the Qing Dynasty really wanted to not die, it would really protect the southern and southwestern provinces first. Let them contain the Hongjun behind their backs, otherwise it may be the second Northern Yuan.

It is true that the Qing Dynasty still owns the entire north, but after hundreds of years of development, the economy of the south has surpassed the north, in the past dynasties, the north has elite cavalry to suppress the southern sailors, but this is an era of foreign guns and foreign artillery, the elite horse team is not the decisive victory or defeat of the battlefield, and the rainbow army horse team is not necessarily weaker than the eight banners horse team in the north.

Henan, Anhui, and Shandong are all engaged in large-scale civil uprisings. As for the south and southeast, it is even more chaotic, the Miao people, the Hui people have become chaotic, plus the Heaven and Earth Society, the servants, etc., now the south can no longer find a stable land, even Guangdong still has a large-scale Hong army arm, although it has been suppressed by Ye Mingchen in the past few years, but the rest is very active.

All this led to the fact that the Qing Dynasty would rather throw the south to Ye Mingchen than let Liu Jiehu win, but if Liu Jiehu was cleaned up. Then the first one is to clean up His Royal Highness King Yue. It's just that since Bai Gui has seen through the situation, he is also happy: "If it is convenient for King Yue." Just give me a ticket to return north......"

He was a little desperate......

And in Sun Huzi's conference room, he shouted loudly on a large-scale map of Fujian: "When we do a good job in law and order operations, we must be ready to march south at any time......

On his left hand side, Li Song, Shi Yunqing's most powerful assistant in the past and who also gave Shi Yunqing a fatal blow, immediately shouted: "The problem is that there are still 30 percent of the bandit areas in the province......

Strictly speaking, all the county towns on the entire land of Fujian are under the control of the Rainbow Army, and this 30 percent ratio actually includes the sum of the "areas of mutual adversity between the enemy and us" and "bandit areas," but in any case, this is a very large number, and in Fujian Province, there are still 30 percent of the areas that have not restored public order. In some areas, even an entire infantry company can be dispatched.

"This is all Ye Mingchen, the dog thief!" Sun Huzi almost punched the provincial border on the map, but he still controlled his emotions: "Every month, more than 1,000 shotguns flow into our Fujian, and there are hundreds of loads of opium!" ”

Ye Mingchen vigorously supported the British and French opium dealers' horse teams to enter Fujian and made a lot of profits, and he also exported the eliminated small guns, guns, and old cannons to Fujian, resulting in the Hong army having to fight for a long time in such a province with an extremely wide terrain.

In fact, there are more reasons, Fujian's mountainous terrain and Ye Mingchen's support are certainly one thing, but many times the popular uprising is tossed out by some wrong policies, Sun Huzi's army reorganization in Fujian is of course pure, but also some newly attached armed forces and personnel forced the enemy, they have a considerable understanding of the Hong Army, familiar with the Hong Army's tactics, and now resolutely against the Hong Army, it can be said that it is a big problem of public security in Fujian.

On the other hand, the allied forces in the past, Fujian's famous anti-Qing armed Tiandihui and its variants of the Red Money Society and the Red Gun Society have become direct enemies after the Hong Army seized all of Fujian, and these armed forces are often controlled by powerful and ambitious local tyrants, who are familiar with the terrain and guerrilla warfare, and the Hong Army often suffers some small losses in battle.

All this has caused the bandits in Fujian to recur from time to time, and now Sun Huzi still has to use at least 60 infantry companies and artillery companies to carry out encirclement and suppression operations: "Our problem now is that if we attack Guangdong, we need at least one infantry brigade...... It is a reinforced infantry brigade, and according to recent intelligence, the firepower of the Qing Demon on the Guangdong side has been greatly strengthened, and it is ......"

He called out a name: "I heard that Shi Yunqing, a dog thief, has also arrived in Guangdong, and has used the tactics of our Rainbow Army to form at least two battalions of new army ......"

Now it is Shi Yunqing who has been in the Rainbow Army for Ye Mingchen to train the new army, although he belongs to the side line in the Rainbow Army, but no one can not admit that he is an old Rainbow Army, and his qualifications are extremely old, if it is not for the misjudgment of the situation, he should be the division commander in the Rainbow Army by now.

And after he defected to Ye Mingchen, he was reused as soon as possible, not to mention that he also brought a small number of cadres, and then many people crossed Wuling to defect to Shi Yunqing, Sun Huzi also hurt a lot of people in the operation to purge the rest of Shi Yunqing, they simply didn't do anything, and fled south.

With these 70 or 80 people, Shi Yunqing recruited about 1,100 strong men from the Qing army, regimental training, and Hong soldiers in Guangdong, and formed two infantry battalions and two artillery companies according to the establishment of the Hong Army.

According to the information he obtained from Guangdong, this new army is said to have formed a third infantry regiment, and has already participated in the actual combat of the Hongbing army and won several small victories.

And Qu Zhibin put forward his own suggestion: "Now if you go south to Guangdong, why do you need 5,000 people, I estimate that maybe 6,000 people may not be able to take Guangzhou City, but do we change our thinking and send an advance detachment to go south first to open the passage for the army!" ”

He continued: "One or two reinforced battalions, we can still draw them, and if there are more, it will have a great impact, and we must ask for inspection support!" ”

As soon as Sun Lixing mentioned this topic, he defended Liu Chang instead: "Your Highness's side is also very difficult, we have to figure out a way on our own!" ”

Since the conquest of Fujian, the status of the Fujian theater has been relegated to the last position, and both the Lianghu Theater and the Lianghuai Theater are obviously more important than Fujian; even if they send troops to Guangxi and Guangzhou, it is the right way to go south from Jiangxi and Hunan, and now they have to consider the problem of entering Guangdong.

Li Song analyzed: "Guangdong Qing Demon, in addition to the 2,000 bandit army of Shi Yunqing, the dog thief, there are still 500 Luzon Yi soldiers, these are all fighting troops!" ”

"Not only these two Qing demons are quite combative, but the ordinary Qing demons and Tuan Yong are now also equipped with flintlock foreign guns and firing guns, and I heard that Shi Yunqing's two thousand bandit army of dog thieves are all using Mini rifles."

In fact, this judgment was wrong, and now Shi Yunqing only has an infantry regiment with a Mini rifle (equivalent to the infantry battalion of the Hong Army), but all this makes the people present have to be cautious, but Qu Zhibin came up with a way: "I can get one more reinforced infantry battalion!" ”

It doesn't matter if there is one more reinforced battalion, if an infantry regiment advances south, although it can't defeat the city of Guangzhou, at least it can take a few county seats.

But now Fujian's total strength is so much, scattered in eight and sixty counties in the province, where will a reinforced battalion be drawn from?
