"Swim across the river, swim across the Qiantang at this time in February, I'm afraid that I haven't swam to the center of the river, and the people can't support it in the cold river, so I don't work hard to kill the water army and feed the fish!"

In the Xiuzhou Prefecture Temporary Marshal's Mansion, Lotte looked at the huge map of Liangzhejiang hanging in the Shuai's Mansion and chuckled, and there was a military general of the Forbidden Army standing behind him.

On the day when Fang Qifo was defeated and left, Lotte ordered the Hangzhou Navy to join the remnants of the Hangzhou and Yue Navy that had retreated to Qiantang Bay, and at the same time to join the Mingzhou Navy to completely block the Qiantang River and cut off all contact between Fang La and the south bank of the Qiantang River.

"Master Hou!" A general said: "The Qiantang River divides the land controlled by the bandits into two, and the use of the navy to control the Qiantang River and burn the ships of the Qijiang River is equivalent to isolating the bandits from the bandit leader Fang La, so that the thieves cannot echo from the end, even if our army is under the city of Hangzhou, the bandits on the south bank of the Qiantang River may not know, the bandit leader Fang La wants to pass the order under his command, and the entire river is afraid that even a boat will not be able to collect ......."

"Even if the bandits on the south bank learned that our army was besieging Hangzhou, the bandits were also in no hurry, there was the Qiantang River separating them, and there was no ferry on the river, so the bandits could only sigh across the river."

"Even if the news is transmitted to the rebel army in the south of the Qiantang River, where did those rebel army come from to cross the river, they can only watch us attack Hangzhou across the river!"

……

After Lotte said his plan, a group of generals praised it one after another.

It is a good thing to be good at judging the situation for the generals, but it is also necessary to do what you can, there are less than six people under your command, even if you calculate in every way, but with such strength to attack Hangzhou, it is obviously unrealistic, since ancient times, the siege of the city has been filled out with the lives of the soldiers.

With 60,000 horses against 80,000 or even 80,000 rebels, it is simply impossible to fight a tough battle.

Lotte asked, "What's going on in Huzhou?" ”

The soldier next to him who was in charge of inquiring about the news hurriedly replied: "Back to Hou Ye's words, according to the scout's report, the bandits have been attacking Huzhou for a long time, and I heard that Fang Qifo was defeated by Hou Ye, so he retreated.

After Hou Ye released the 10,000 bandit soldiers who distributed severance money, these bandit soldiers heard that His Majesty had issued an edict against him, and he stopped Huashigang from the Ying Feng Bureau, and dismissed Zhu Mian's official position.

At the same time, the administration of the imperial court has affected the morale of the bandit soldiers, so that the bandit army deserts every day and many people flee, the 20,000 bandits who attacked Huzhou, and less than 10,000 people retreated to Hangzhou with the bandit generals, and there are also many deserters gathered by Fang Qifo in Chongde. ”

If not, even if Fang La is how to instigate, the people in the southeast will not make a fuss, and now the imperial court has dismissed the Ying Shi Gang to stop the operation of Huashigang, and Zhu Mian's official position, the people are all happy, and His Majesty has issued an edict to appease the people, and even the rebels who participated in the rebellion and were captured have been issued and not held accountable.

Obviously, the application of the Lotte strategy was very successful, and it successfully divided the military spirit of the Fang La army and weakened the combat effectiveness and will of the Fang La Yi army.

The plan succeeded, Lotte smiled, and continued to ask: "Is there any movement on the side of the Runzhou, Jiangning, Chizhou, Changzhou, and Guangde armies?" ”

Immediately, a lieutenant replied: "Hou Ye, the officer corps of Runzhou, Jiangning, Chizhou, Changzhou, Yizhou, Taipingzhou, and Guangde, after getting Hou Ye's order, are now all rushing to Xiuzhou, and it is estimated that they can gather in the Wukang area of Xiuzhou and Xiuzhou the day after tomorrow, or before sunset on the fifth of this month!" ”

Nodding, Lotte said: "Send someone to urge, the officials and troops of the states must meet in Wukang, Xiuzhou before the day after tomorrow, and then meet with our army in Hangzhou Beiguan Canal ten miles north on the 6th, don't miss the fighter plane, otherwise it will be dealt with according to the law and military law!" ”

The lieutenant answered, and hurriedly went out to arrange for the soldiers to deliver the news.

……

After Fang Qifo led his troops to capture Chongde, he besieged Xiuzhou on January 24, and on the 28th, Lotte led the army into Xiuzhou, and defeated Fang Qifo on the 29th.

Lotte had to pay attention to the navy, not only the navy of Hangzhou, Xiu, and Vietnam, but also the merchant ships that could actually go to sea could also be regarded as the navy, and even the sailors of the merchant ships had combat effectiveness that was not weaker than the sailors.

The naval armies of Hangzhou and Vietnam were injured in the defense of Hangzhou, but the fleet under the name of Lotte's father-in-law Wang Yuanwai was safely withdrawn to Hangzhou Bay, and these sailors organized a naval army, and it was naturally more than enough for Lotte to use the naval army and merchant ships to block the Qiantang River, after all, there was no naval army under Fang La's command.

In view of the fact that only 50,000 Biandu forbidden troops can be requisitioned, before the army is allocated, Lotte asked Gao Yu to specially ask for an order, as the new envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces, Lotte has the power to mobilize the forbidden army and the box army of the two Zhejiang roads, and gather the forbidden army and the box army of these states and counties, and the available soldiers under his command are not far from 100,000, and the number of people can be comparable to the Hangzhou righteous army.

In the five days since the defeat of Fang Qifo, Lotte has been preparing for the attack on Hangzhou.

In fact, in the Battle of Xiuzhou, Lotte saw the combat effectiveness of the righteous army, in the words of later generations, the combat effectiveness of the Fang La army can be described as the five scum of the war, not to mention the Northwest Forbidden Army, that is, with the Biandu Forbidden Army who has never fought, the Fang La Army is also scum, from weapons and equipment to training to discipline, it is a scum-like existence.

Huang Kanjian came at the same time, with the information given by Huang Kanjian, Lotte means that the organization of the righteous army is loose, the battle of Xiuzhou not only found out the bottom of the righteous army, but also means that the righteous army has turned from attack to defense, and Fang La is even more handsome, and the short-sightedness of its strategic vision means its defeat.

How important is the Yangtze River natural risk, after occupying Hangzhou, do not send troops to seize and control Chizhou, Taipingzhou, Jiangning, Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou line, according to the Yangtze River natural danger to resist the imperial court, although it can not unify the Great Song Dynasty, but it can completely achieve the late Han Dynasty Sun Quan to divide the Jiangdong trend.

But Fang La went in the opposite direction completely, using the strategic focus in the wrong direction, only thinking about developing territory in the south of the Qiantang River in Zhejiang, and Jiangning and other places that could be divided according to natural dangers, but he did not use all his strength to requisit, only used Fang Qifo to go on a partial expedition to the north, and there were millions of divisions under his command, but now they were cut off by Lotte with less than thousands of sailors in the south of the Qiantang River, and became a useless soldier.

All this confirms Fang La's short-sightedness, and there is no strategic pattern, and it has laid the tragedy of his life, and it can be said that Fang La is a representative of playing a good hand of cards.

Since Zhezong Chao Shaosheng succeeded as the twenty-fifth generation leader of the Ming Sect for three years, he has made preparations for raising troops to rebel for 25 years.

Thinking of this, Lotte also felt speechless.

On 5 February, Lotte led 60,000 men and horses, including the Xiuzhou garrison, from Xiuzhou and arrived at Chongde County, 60 miles southwest of Xiuzhou, in the evening. On February 1, Fang Qifo was ordered by Fang La to return to Hangzhou to prepare for resistance to the imperial court.

At this time, Chongde is an empty city, and there are traces of the attack of the Fang Qi Buddha army everywhere, because the people of Bing Xiecheng have taken refuge in the city, and there are few people in the entire county, and when the Fang Qi Buddha led the army to retreat, it was a fire that burned the county government, and a few days later, there was still a scorched breath in the air of the entire county.

On February 6, Lotte led a large army to ten miles away from the north pass of the Hangzhou Canal, at which time the forbidden armies of Chizhou, Taipingzhou, Jiangning, Guangde, and Runzhou had arrived.

Beat the drum to gather the troops and set up camp.

Before the arrival of the Lotte army, Fang La had already ordered the fortified walls to clear the wilderness, and the imperial court officials and soldiers outside Hangzhou could not collect a grain of grain, and the ordinary people also ran out of cooking, so they could only rely on going down to the river to catch some fish and shrimp to satisfy their hunger.

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court are naturally not worried about grain and grass, the rear is Jiangning, Huzhou, Xiuzhou and other places, these places have been developed since the Spring and Autumn Period, the late Han Dynasty and the Eastern Wu Dynasty were divided, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to cross to the south, and then to the four generations of the Southern Dynasties to develop, until the Northern Song Dynasty has been developed very thoroughly, the grain output has exceeded the original, and Muzhou, Shezhou and other places are rich, and they are known as the granary of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Jiangnan River is dense, and there is the artery of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, so that grain and grass can be continuously transported from the rear to the hands of Hangzhou officials and soldiers.

The first thing I did when I came to Hangzhou was to put grain.

There is not much grain and grass in Hangzhou, Fang La has to collect grain and grass from the surrounding areas of Hangzhou, and collect grain from the people's homes, so it is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Although it has not been a long time since he has been in charge of Hangzhou's government affairs, Lotte is also Hangzhou's parent official. After the Fang La army captured Hangzhou, it burned and killed for a few days, and then it was the Jianbi Qingye to collect the people's rations, so that the attitude of the people of Hangzhou towards the Fang La army has changed, and they are not as supportive as they were at the beginning.

When he came to Hangzhou, the first thing Lotte did was to open a warehouse and release grain, and the second thing was to meet the people outside Hangzhou.

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court came to open the warehouse and release the grain, and then met with the people, and someone immediately recognized it, and the marshal who came to the court to close the chaos was the former parent official of Hangzhou, the talented man Lotte, and the celebrity effect of the time Lotte, showing the affinity of the imperial court.

The former Hangzhou parent official, known as the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty, has the handsome and charming appearance of the little fresh meat idol in later generations, and the halo of circles makes Lotte's brain almost shine, when the people outside Hangzhou are famine, Le Daren opened a warehouse to release grain, and let Lotte take the title of a savior.

Fang Lajun entered Hangzhou to burn and kill, killing many officials and wealthy households, but there are still many leaky fish, these leaky fish saw Lotte see the officials and soldiers of the imperial court to quell the chaos, recalled the life of the great backwardness since the rebel army occupied Hangzhou, and immediately cried bitterly.

There is no doubt that the destruction of the productive forces by Bingxie is huge, and how can the people of Hangzhou not cry when they see heaven on earth turn into hell.

In this regard, Lotte had to persuade him with good words, and suddenly remembered that he had only done half of the "Diaoyutai Inscription Wall" when he was in Pingyu, so he read the last four sentences on the spot to show his ambition to eliminate the southeast rebellion.

"It's not that you cherish your body before respecting, and it is inevitable that the pretense will come true, and I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that I would be tired of the beauty. The southeast day is evil, the rooster cries the wind and rain and the sea raises dust, the sad song and cry in the end, and the righteous people say that the emperor and Qin. ”

The first four sentences, in the eight years of politics and the world has been sung, I don't know how many deep ladies sighed and cried for this, the last four sentences were peaceful at the time, Lotte really didn't dare to copy out, now Fang La rebelled, and now it is very suitable for the world, but also with poetry and words, showing their confidence in leveling the enemy, it can be said that it is a perfect ending.
