Liu Wei and Ma Wei led the troops to the northern expedition to Sichuan and Shu, Deng Zilong and Sun Li led the troops to sweep Yunnan, and after Xiao Ruxun arranged the affairs of Yunnan and Sichuan, he only took the personal guards to return to Burma quickly to prepare for the next thing.

On 3 July, at the same time that Xiao Ruxun led his troops north to Yunnan, the Xuanwu Battalion of the Zhennan Army, under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Li Wenyuan, boarded the troop transport ship of the naval division and launched the first joint operation with the naval division led by Jiang Dahai.

The target of this operation was Guangzhou, and he joined forces with Chen Luan to enter the Lingding Ocean and land along the mouth of the Pearl River, and then take Guangzhou directly.

Xiao Ruxun asked his brother Xiao Ruzhi to go with him as his representative, in order to restrain Chen Lan and not let him rely on the old and sell the old.

Chen Lan can fight, but he likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and he has a lot of bad problems, Jiang Dahai and Li Wenyuan are both young and have no reputation in the inland, Chen Lan may not give face, but Xiao Ruzhi is Xiao Ruxun's own brother, Chen Lan will take care of three points.

The huge fleet of 20,000 sailors and 20,000 infantry troops set out at the same time as Xiao Ruxun, and after six days at sea, they arrived in the coastal area of Guangdong, where they met the liaison ship sent by Chen Luan, and learned that Chen Luan had terminated the patrol mission in the open ocean, and although there were still many merchant ships and civilian ships on the sea, there was not a single military ship.

So the merchants and sailors who were working and doing business along the coast at that time witnessed an extremely large fleet slowly sailing into the Lingding Ocean, entering the inland sea, and then heading all the way north.

If you want to say that it is really special, that is, the number of ships is too large, and the style of the ships is not very common, it doesn't feel like a merchant ship, but it can't be said to feel that way.

The flotilla was moving fast and in good order.

Then, on the same day that Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Yaoguan, the Zhennan Army's Marine Corps and the entire Xuanwu Battalion landed in Lubu and drove directly to Guangzhou City under the leadership of thousands of officers and soldiers of Chen Luan's Naval Division.

Prior to this, Chen Lan had secretly arranged for his guards to enter Guangzhou City in batches to lurk, and when the time came, the ambushed guards directly took down the south gate of Guangzhou City, and caught them off guard.

As soon as the south gate was broken, Chen Lan and Li Wenyuan immediately led their troops to rush into Guangzhou City, and Guangzhou City was taken without any resistance, and only a few hundred soldiers were killed in the battle, and thousands of them surrendered directly after being stunned.

After the Zhennan army entered Guangzhou, it first stabilized the order, declared that Guangzhou entered a state of martial law, and all residents were not allowed to leave their homes, and then opened the treasury of Guangzhou, and obtained a mountain of various materials from it.

Dai Yao, the governor of Liangguang, fled in a panic in the direction of Guangxi under the protection of his cronies, and Chen Lan took Li Wenyuan's lieutenant Zheng Ying to chase all the way, from Guangzhou to Sanshui, but he conquered several cities along the way, surrendered hundreds of soldiers and horses and brought them back to Guangzhou.

Because Dai Yao's escape made the battle situation more uncertain, but this is not important, the important thing is that Guangzhou was taken, and the command center of the entire Guangdong has been paralyzed, and they can only fight on their own, and the end is to be broken by each other.

Chen Lan felt very embarrassed about this, so he took the initiative to ask to lead troops to attack the city, Xiao Ruzhi assigned the task according to Xiao Ruxun's method, leaving the main force of the Xuanwu battalion under the leadership of the main general Li Wenyuan to cooperate with Chen Lan to attack the city.

The remaining men and horses returned to the battleship non-stop under the leadership of Vice General Zheng Ying, and Jiang Dahai led the sailors to immediately continue northward, targeting Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang, Shen Yi's hometown.

After Zheng Ying's 5,000 men and horses swept through Yinxian, Jiang Dahai needed to continue to lead the naval division north into the Yangtze River channel, and then enter the Grand Canal channel, capture Zhenjiang Prefecture, cut off the Grand Canal channel, and complete the strategic goal of the first phase of the operation.

So on July 11, the Zhennan Army Naval Division was dispatched again and headed north in the direction of Zhejiang.

Of course, at this time, the people at the mouth of the Pearl River basically knew that there was a war, and those who should run and hide should hide, and those who did not know how the war happened quickly knew the reason.

As the Zhennan Army gradually conquered the cities around Guangzhou, the propaganda of the Zhennan Army also kept up all the way.

Completely contrary to the news that they knew a month ago that Xiao Ruxun rebelled and Burma Town was a rebel town, it was the Zhennan Army under Xiao Ruxun who occupied Guangzhou, not only did he not die, but also fought back, announcing everywhere that Shen had always launched a mutiny to imprison the emperor and brutalize Zhongliang, and he Xiao Ruxun risked his life to escape from the capital and Fengtian to rebel against the Northern Expedition.

Fengtian rebelled against the Northern Expedition......

The news came a bit suddenly, and people were unprepared.

One came very suddenly, and the content made most people puzzled and had all kinds of speculation.

Another directly explains the reason for this doubt, but the content is so terrible that it makes people's hearts feel very shocked.

Two sudden, diametrically opposed announcements made it difficult for people to get used to.

But whether they adapt or not, the war has begun.

Next is the performance of the main force of the Zhennan Army led by Xiao Ruxun after entering the interior of the Ming Dynasty from Guangxi.

This phase of the plan has been achieved quite perfectly, and it is impossible to imagine a more perfect start than this.

On July 20, after Xiao Ruxun returned to Nan'an City, he did not care about the battle report, and directly led his troops to march, leading the main force of 80,000 people from two infantry battalions and two cavalry battalions to march eastward.

At the same time, the naval division of the Zhennan Army arrived at the unsuspecting Zhoushan Island under the leadership of Jiang Dahai, and under the stunned gaze of some fishermen, Jiang Dahai organized 5,000 marines and 5,000 elites of the Xuanwu Battalion to let Zheng Ying take them to land.

The whole coast did not see the defense of the Zhejiang Ming army at all, they landed smoothly and then prepared for battle, those fishermen ran faster than anyone else one by one, but it was useless, Zhoushan was drummed down.

After taking Zhoushan as a springboard for a little rest, the Zhennan army attacked Dinghai non-stop, Dinghai did not resist for long before the elite of the Zhennan army drummed down, the deserters did not run as fast as the Zhennan army's attack, the soldiers were very fast, and the Zhennan army did not even have time to capture the prisoners, so they galloped all the way to Yinxian under the leadership of Zheng Ying.

On July 22, Zheng Ying led an army of 10,000 to conquer the county seat of Yinxian County, and the Yinxian County Commander was killed by the fire after stubbornly resisting, and the defenders surrendered after half of the casualties.

Later, under the leadership of a beggar official of the county government, Zheng Ying led troops to surround the Shen family's old house according to Xiao Ruxun's orders, and wiped out all the old and young members of Shen's relatives.

They didn't have time to escape, they were all captured alive by the Zhennan army, a few young people tried to resist, but were beheaded by Zheng Ying on the spot, and the remaining group of people only cried and did not dare to resist, and were ordered by Zheng Ying to take them all back to the ship and detain them, which is the safest.

Subsequently, Zheng Ying raided the Shen family's old house and confiscated all the Shen family property, this copy is terrible, the Shen family produces tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of houses, and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver in the house.

Zheng Ying faithfully fulfilled Xiao Ruxun's order, confiscated all these things, and transported them back to the ship in boxes and boxes to prepare for military funds.

At the same time, ten Burmese officials brought by the fleet were stationed in the county government of Yinxian County and began to distribute the Shen family's property, and the first target was the Shen family's tenants, who divided the Shen family's land into several hundred shares and distributed them to the Shen family's tenants, so that these lands became the property of these tenants.

The tenants were stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.
