Chapter 716: Alliance of Six Provinces
Fang Yuan forced Shi Fu to surrender, but still reinstated the officers and men of the naval divisions at all levels, but only seized the most powerful artillery carrier formation and stayed in the port of Zhenhaiwei.
Shi Fu led a hundred fleets of Zhenhaiwei to open the way in front, while the larger fleet led by Fang Yuan and Shi Suo supervised the battle in the rear.
The fleet departed via Zhenhaiwei and arrived at Canton five days later.
Fang Yuan did not send Shi Lang's fleet to demonstrate under the city of Guangzhou, but sent Shi Fu's fleet to let Qin Zhan know that Shi Fu, the commander of the Fujian-Guangzhou Naval Division, had surrendered.
Qin Zhan, as long as there is still a trace of rationality, don't do stupid things that make Fang Yuan unable to step down.
Otherwise, how can brothers meet each other?!
The Humen Fort in Guangzhou City was already in full swing, and flags were raised on the fort, ordering the battleships not to approach the fort, otherwise they would immediately open fire.
Fang Yuan ordered Shi Fu's battleship to raise the dragon flag of the regent and continued to advance towards the Humen Fort. Seeing the Dragon Banner is like seeing the Regent, and it was also Fang Yuan who gave Qin Zhan the last chance. If the Humen Fort dares to fire at the Dragon Banner, it will be an outright rebellion.
The Humen Fort was obviously shocked by the battleship flying the dragon flag, and there was a suffocating silence, and no one dared to fire at the battleship flying the dragon flag.
Until Shi Fu's warship landed peacefully in the port outside the city, Hao Shaoqi personally carried a dragon flag and led a team of special combat soldiers from the port to the city of Guangzhou.
Hao Shaoqi shouted under the city, "On the order of the regent, Qin Zhan, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, immediately left the city and went to meet the regent. ”
Although Qin Zhan, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't recognize who Hao Shaoqi was, he could see that the special operations army was Fang Yuan's most elite personal soldier.
The other party's original boss, Qin Zhan's heart has both resentment and deep jealousy. He had already received Fang Yuan's order to attack Yunnan from Fujian and Guangzhou, but he also received a secret letter from the Mu Wangfu in Yunnan.
In his letter, Mu Tianbo put forward a proposal that the six southern provinces, including Fujian, Guangzhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, should not obey the orders of the imperial court and divide their autonomy.
Mu Tianbo's suggestion is to connect the six provinces where ethnic minorities in the south gather. The six southern provinces are far away from the emperor in the sky, and they are poor mountains and bad waters, and they have scorching heat and lofty mountains as barriers, which is enough to coerce the six provinces to coerce the imperial court and force the imperial court to agree to the fact that the six provinces are autonomous.
Qin Zhan was still a little moved by this suggestion, he had also built weapons and trained recruits in Guangdong before, just to make Guangdong his own place.
But Qin Zhan didn't have the courage to openly confront Fang Yuan, and he didn't know if the so-called Six Provinces Alliance could resist the attack of the imperial court. He and the Tusi in Guangxi, Guizhou and other places had the same idea, that is, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, at most send a partial division, go to Yunnan for a perfunctory look, and wait to see the results of Fang Yuan's expedition to Yunnan.
If Fang Yuan could really conquer Yunnan, the four provinces of Fujian, Guangxi, and Guizhou would not be able to support it alone, and they would not jump out to resist. If Fang Yuan couldn't take Yunnan with the strength of the imperial court, it would prove that the so-called alliance of six provinces was quite feasible, and it would not be too late to come out and resist Fang Yuan.
But much to Qin Zhan's expectation, Fang Yuan would actually lead an army of 40,000 and even Shi Lang's huge fleet south to Minguang. This disrupted Qin Zhan's plan. Minguang should have been a good situation to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but it suddenly became the front line against Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's sudden move made Qin Zhan a big mess.
On the contrary, there is a thief's heart but not a thief's courage;
Surrender, the arrow is on the line, and even more unwilling.
Qin Zhan originally thought that Zhenhaiwei's Shi Fu could be carried for a while, waiting to see the victory or defeat of the two Daming Water Divisions before deciding whether to oppose or surrender.
Unbeknownst to him, Shi Fu's fleet suddenly sailed to the city of Guangzhou and surrendered to the city of Guangzhou. It can be seen that Shi Fu surrendered to Fang Yuan without firing a single shot.
Next, it was Qin Zhan's turn on the city wall to be in a dilemma.
Najib, the chief soldier of Guangdong, was personally promoted by Fang Yuan, and he also had a lot of complaints about this rebellion, but Qin Zhan, Shi Fu and a group of military generals had to rebel, and he was also forced to be helpless, so he could only temporarily make a false accusation.
Seeing that Fang Yuan had indeed gone to the city of Guangzhou in person, Naji took the opportunity to persuade, "Governor Qin, the so-called alliance of the six provinces is just a big cake painted by Mu Tianbo, in fact, Guangxi and Guizhou are all pregnant with their own ghosts, and they should accept it on the one hand, and show favor to Fang Yuan on the other." This kind of alliance can succeed, but it's just a dream! ”
Qin Zhan's fat body is trembling, what Najib said is true, even Minguang himself is at both ends of the first rat, looking forward and backward, can you still expect Guangxi and Guizhou to confront the imperial court with peace of mind? !
Qin Zhan muttered, "Isn't the boss supposed to be his regent in Beijing City, why did he suddenly come to Guangzhou?!" It must have leaked the news! ”
Seeing that he was a fan of the authorities, Najib persuaded again, "Governor Qin, if the regent had already gotten the news, he would have stayed in Fujian for two or three months, and would have gone straight to Guangzhou City." If the regent really wants to get the news, he also got the news in Fujian! ”
Qin Zhan is already in chaos now, Fang Yuan doesn't come in person, he can still muster up the courage to fight with the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court, but when it comes to face-to-face confrontation with Fang Yuan, he really doesn't dare!
Qin Zhan hurriedly asked, "Chief Najib, we really can't hold it?!" ”
Najib said in a deep voice, "Governor Qin, under the city is the regent sailor fleet, and there are 30,000 elite infantry soldiers stationed by Zhang Ying in Guangdong in advance, and Guangzhou City can be guarded for ten days and half a month at most." ”
"Governor Qin, you are the brother of the regent, you should have achieved fame and became a hero of the founding of the country, don't make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred! The Regent's Dragon Banner has arrived, so let's open the city and go together to ask the Regent for guilt! ”
Qin Zhan closed his eyes slightly and said, "Chief Najib, there is no turning back when you open the bow!" It's come to this point, even if I go to ask the boss for my guilt again, he will spare me?! ”
Najib said bitterly, "Governor Qin, you are a fan of the authorities, has the regent announced that you are a traitor?" Did you punish Zhen Haiwei for blessings? The dragon banner under the city was the last chance given by the regent to the governor of Qin, asking the governor of Qin to give in to this dragon banner and go to ask for guilt in person. If Governor Qin disobeys the order again, it will really be the opposite! ”
Qin Zhan saw that he was persuading himself to ask for guilt, but he was also dissatisfied. But Najib is the only reusable general in the city of Guangzhou. If Najib doesn't support continued resistance, who else can Qin Zhan send to resist?
He complained angrily, "Najib, I treat you well, and I have children and daughters with you, why can't you be on the same front with me?!" ”
Naji looked at the officers and soldiers behind him, and then lowered his voice and threatened, "Governor Qin, if I don't have a front with you, I can arrest you right now and go to ask the regent for credit!" I have repeatedly persuaded each other, just because I don't want Governor Qin to go astray! ”
Qin Zhan trembled, looked sideways at Najib, and said hesitantly, "You, you!" ”
Najib said solemnly, "Governor Qin, I won't arrest you to invite merit, and it's hard to guarantee that other generals won't arrest you to invite merit." If you hesitate any longer, Governor Qin is just using his own life to fulfill the soaring prosperity of others! ”
Qin Zhan knew that what he said was true, Zhenhaiwei surrendered without a fight, and the regent led a powerful fleet to the city. Although there are 60,000 sergeants in the Southern Military Region, most of them are stationed in barracks outside the city, and there are only 10,000 in Guangzhou.
He had already sent an order to the barracks of the Southern Military District to enter the city, but there was no movement for a long time. It can be seen that at the critical moment, the generals of the Southern Military Region, who had previously clamored for rebellion, were also watching.
With only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Guangzhou City, compared with Fang Yuan's army, it was too much disparity. The soldiers and generals in Guangzhou City wanted to arrest him to invite merit, and there must be countless of them. The reason why he didn't do it was because he was just waiting to see what happened to the regent, and there were still conditions that were offered.
Once Fang Yuan decided that Qin Zhan was plotting rebellion, and offered a reward for his capture, there were many people who were willing to exchange Qin Zhan for glory and wealth. Even at this time, if Najib has bad intentions, he can completely arrest people.
Qin Zhan thought about it, since Fang Yuan had already conquered the battle in person, this battle was completely lost, and he had no choice but to choose to surrender in Kaecheng!
