Chapter 85: Coalition Suppression

After figuring it out, Wei Zhongxian couldn't wait to find the Fengsheng Lady Keshi, and then told her about it with added vinegar.

When the Hakka family found out about this, of course they were shocked and angry.

Although she is now very trusted by the emperor, she feels that she has not done many bad things, at most she is greedy for power.

Like the later things that teamed up with Wei Zhongxian to kill Concubine Yu and cause Empress Zhang to have a miscarriage, these things have not happened yet.

Just because of this trivial matter, he raised troops on Qingjun's side, which was simply deliberately asking for trouble for her, and wanted to kill her.

After briefly discussing with Wei Zhongxian for a while, she ran to the Emperor of the Apocalypse to cry.

The development of the facts did not surprise them, and seeing the appearance of Hakka's pear blossoms with rain, Zhu Youxiao was immediately furious.

immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely mobilize an army to exterminate Lu Yan.

So the next day, Emperor Tianqi immediately demanded that a large army be mobilized to eliminate Lu Yan.

For the careful thinking of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, many courtiers were like a mirror in their hearts, and eighty percent of them were Mrs. Fengsheng who went to him to cry.

The courtiers deliberated for a while and agreed to the request of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After all, Qingjun's side is too rebellious, and it is not a crime of the same level as being a coward at all.

If the Qing monarch has to be appeased, then where is the majesty of the court.

So they quickly decided to order Zhou Zuo, the governor of Jian, to mobilize heavy troops to exterminate LΓΌ Yan.

In their opinion, with only more than 2,000 people, being able to send tens of thousands of troops to meet and suppress is already quite worthy of Lu Yan.

But the development of things was far beyond their expectations, and not long after the official document of the meeting was issued, it ushered in a distress document from the governor of Fujian.

First, the enemy dispatched thousands of cavalry to wreak havoc in Quanzhou, attacking local officers and soldiers.

Its troops are too strong for the officers and soldiers there to stop.

Xu Yiming, the chief military officer of Fujian, led an army of 6,000 to quell the rebellion, but was attacked by the thief cavalry and returned defeated.

Zhang Jiace, the deputy chief soldier of the Central Left Office, was deceived by traitors, and after learning that the strength of the Zhangzhou Mansion was empty, he gathered the troops of the Central Left Institute and Kinmen to quell the rebellion.

I didn't think that this was the trick of the Lu thief, and he was ambushed by the enemy's army of more than 10,000 cavalry, and he was defeated.

After learning the news, the entire court was in an uproar.

Didn't you say that Lu Yan only had more than 2,000 people? Why did more than 10,000 troops emerge before and after, what the hell is going on?

Of course, they didn't know that this was because those generals exaggerated Lu Yan's strength too much in order to shirk their responsibilities.

However, this also made the princes of the court begin to face up to Lu Yanlai, more than 10,000 troops, no matter where they are, they are a decisive force.

Where did these more than 10,000 troops come from? Liaodong, that is definitely impossible!

Because it is impossible for Mao Wenlong to have so many soldiers and horses.

Could it be that the people are thieves when they become soldiers?

On the one hand, the princes of the court, who could not figure out this problem, proposed that Jinyiwei find out this problem overnight, and on the other hand, they discussed mobilizing the two major armies of Guangdong and Zhejiang to join the officers and soldiers of Fujian to go to the meeting to suppress it.

It's just that the mobilization of two armies needs to raise a large amount of food, and the hundreds of thousands of troops eat and drink Lazar, which is not a small amount, and it is not an ordinary bandit, who will raise these foods.

Now the Ming Dynasty has some food and salary in his hands, but these are all planned to build a city outside the border to deal with the Jurchens, and it is impossible to use it to deal with Lu Yan, so he can only let the local people find a way to raise it themselves.

The Zhejiang Party has always had a very prosperous literary style, and although its power in the court is not as strong as that of the Donglin Party, it is definitely not small.

In this regard, many people are unwilling to let Zhejiang raise grain to help Fujian quell the rebellion.

Therefore, they united to demand that all the food and wages be raised locally in Fujian Province, and that the rebellion took place in Fujian, and that we were going to help you put down the rebellion, and that you should pay the food and wages, and the officials in Guangdong also seconded the proposal.

However, the officials in Fujian did not agree, King Lu Yanqin was not a matter of Fujian, but a matter of the entire Ming Dynasty, how could they let Fujian take on all the heavy responsibility of food and salary.

If all the food and salary of the 100,000 troops are taken over by Fujian, Fujian will have to be destroyed.

Just when the princes of the court were arguing about this, several bad news came one after another.

The thieves changed into the uniforms of the Ming army, made another long-distance raid, invaded the territory of Fuzhou, and took advantage of the local unpreparedness to capture two county towns one after another.

Then they surrounded another nearby county town and launched a fierce attack incessantly.

The local magistrate sent people to Fuzhou overnight to ask for help, and Zhou Zuo, the governor of Fujian, had to order the general Chen Wenyang and the guerrilla Liu Yinglong to lead the army to the rescue.

It turned out to be a trick of the enemy, and in the end they were ambushed by the enemy along the way, and they were defeated again.

So Shang Zhouzuo had to order Fuzhou to close the gates, and then ask the imperial court for help again.

In addition to this, the enemy's fleet also began to move north, constantly attacking the ships of officers and men along the coast.

Even broke the Nanshan Village, Hongchang Village, Huyu Village and other naval vessels.

Due to the tall ships and fierce firepower of the enemy war, the naval forces of the imperial court were not opponents at all, and they were defeated one after another along the way, and the news of the north and south roads was basically cut off by the thief army.

Seeing this, the imperial court was in an uproar again, even if the land route failed, even the water route failed one after another.

Moreover, Fuzhou is not far from Zhejiang, which means that the thief army may invade Zhejiang at any time.

As soon as they thought of this, the officials of the Zhejiang Party couldn't sit still.

So they agreed that Zhejiang would also pay part of the food and salary, and then send a large army to Fujian to quell the rebellion.

However, Sun Chengzong, a scholar at Dongge University, believed that the troops of Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian alone might not be able to quell the rebels in a short time.

Because Fujian's soldiers and horses have been almost wiped out, it is best to send heavy troops from Nanzhili to support, and then sweep the rebels with thunder.

Everyone thought that this was the words of the old man to seek the country.

Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian hated to transfer all the soldiers and horses from all over the country to Fujian to exterminate Lu Yan.

Dare to threaten to ask for the head of the miscellaneous family, it's really impatient.

Sun Chengzong, as the emperor of the Son of Heaven, was a hardcore ally of the Donglin Party, and many Donglin Party officials also strongly supported him.

The Zhejiang Party also hoped that the rebellion could be quelled as soon as possible, so that the flames of war would not spread to Zhejiang.

Therefore, the imperial court once again reached a rare agreement and decided to mobilize the four armies to jointly suppress Lu Yan.

Zhang Qian stood at the bow of the boat with a sad face.

He was a Jinyi guard in Fuzhou, and he was ordered by his boss to investigate the news of the Zhangzhou thief army.

This is not a good errand, if the enemy finds out, it will definitely lose his head.

Although Zhang Qian refused, he was forced to send this fatal messenger because he had offended his boss.

This couldn't help but make Zhang Qian hate his boss even more, this was simply pushing him into the fire pit.

But the official level crushed people to death, if he didn't want to rebel with Lu Yan, he could only go deep into the tiger's den.

"My lord, it's Yuegang not long ago, why don't we find a place where no one is on the shore?"

At this time, his confidant Li Wei came over and said.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Lord in the future, otherwise we will die."

Hearing his words, Zhang Qian couldn't help but say to him.

"I see, Brother Zhang."

Li Wei hurriedly nodded and said.

He also knew that he had made a mistake, and if he was heard in Zhangzhou Mansion, maybe they would have confessed there.

Zhang Qian nodded and agreed, then instructed him a few words, and prepared to land.

His mission is very special, so he does not plan to go through the normal channels, but plans to sneak into Zhangzhou.

The ship was a small smuggling ship captured by the Patrol Seaway, and then requisitioned by the Jinyi Guard.

As for the sailors on the ship, they were coastal fishermen, and Jin Yiwei wanted to requisition them to do things, but which fisherman dared to refuse.

So the boat docked in a shallow where no one was around, and the boat left in a hurry, like a man-eating demon here.

Zhang Qian snorted coldly, and then said, "Let's go to Yuegang to have a look first, and then go to Zhangzhou Mansion to see what kind of person is that person who dares to proclaim himself King of Qin." ”

Li Wei agreed, and then the two of them slowly walked towards Yuegang.

Moon Port is the only port in Daming that allows you to go to sea, and it is naturally very prosperous.

Although the Ming Dynasty imposed various restrictions on going to sea, there were policies and countermeasures.

For the huge profits of sea trade, those big families in Fujian always try their best to go to sea.

Smuggling, forged ship routes, cargo quotations and other means emerge in an endless stream.

Even some coastal fishermen have applied for a reason and introduction to fishing, and then try to decorate the South Seas, so the moon port is often full of ships.

But because the Moon Harbor was captured by the thief army, Zhang Qian originally thought that the Moon Harbor would definitely become very depressed, but what he didn't expect was that it was still a prosperous scene, and a large number of ships were heading towards the Moon Harbor.

Before he reached the Moon Harbor, he found five Hongyi warships and an eight-masted giant ship practicing from a distance.

Although Lu Yan sent a fleet north to destroy the enemy ships, he could not afford to defend the Moon Harbor.

So they left behind the "King of the Seas", "Royal Charles" and "Golden Deer", and again two small ships of three or four hundred tons, and then they were equipped with sailors and gunners.

The gunners were then mixed with the experienced gunners of other ships to form a preliminary combat effectiveness, and they were ordered to practice day and night in order to familiarize themselves with the ships as soon as possible.

"Is that a treasure ship?"

Zhang Qian pointed to the eight-masted ship and said.

"It should be, it's a big ship."

Li Wei also said with envy.

The treasure ship used to be the pride of their Ming Dynasty, but it was burned by their own hands.

Thinking about it now, I don't know how many people will regret it, but I didn't expect this thief to reappear as a treasure ship.

Zhang Qian was silent, but he felt more and more that this thief was not simple.

With their blankets on their backs, they walked into the Moon Harbor like the most ordinary merchants.

After entering the Moon Harbor, the most eye-catching thing is all kinds of notices.

Zhang Qian stopped in front of these notices, and couldn't help but be furious after reading one.

"It's just that there is no king's law, and he dares to refuse to collect Liao salary without authorization, and all civilians only collect half of the tax. Without salaries and taxes, what did the imperial court do to resist the construction of slaves. He was generous to the court, but he put the people of the nine sides in the midst of fire and water. ”

Hearing this, an old man passing by stopped and said angrily to him: "What do you know about this offspring? Do you know how many families have been ruined by Liao's salary? In order to accomplish their tasks, those officials did everything possible to exploit our people. ”

"At least nine families in our village have become displaced because of Liaoyu, and I had to abandon my ancestral business to join my son because of Liaoyu. I think King Qin has done a very good job, and if this continues, the common people will have to rebel sooner or later. ”

"You ......"

Zhang Qian was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless.

He is dignified and guarded, and every cloth and cloth dares to accuse him, and he can even say such words as rebellion, which is simply lawless.

At this time, Li Wei pulled his clothes.

Zhang Qian then realized that this was the territory of the thieves.

So he suppressed his anger and struggled to squeeze out a smile.

"This old man is right, it is Zhang who is ignorant."

The old man snorted coldly, then muttered a few words, and left the place.

Zhang Qian quietly wiped his cold sweat, he really had to be careful about everything when he came here.

He then looked at the other notices and found that many of them were about the policies announced by Lu Yan.

For example, to open the sea, Lu Yan plans to open Quanzhou, Xiamen, and Yuegang as the city's Bo Division, and any Yi people can come here to trade.

Of course, there are also Ming people who only need to pay taxes, and anyone can go to sea to trade.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help frowning.

didn't expect this Lu Yan to be so arrogant, he didn't think about whether he could survive the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

On the contrary, those people passing by have heated discussions about this, if the sea can be opened, then they will all benefit from it, and they don't have to worry about being checked by the government.

As for the other notices, all of them were the results of the battle with the Ming army, and Lu Yan never intended to hide his victory, but he hated that everyone in the world knew how invincible he Lu Yan was on the battlefield.

Zhang Qian is face became more gloomy the more he looked at it, all of this notice was the defeat of the Ming army on a certain day, how many enemies were annihilated, and the capture of a certain city on a certain day.

And the surrounding Haicheng County, Zhangpu County, Zhou'an County and even Xiamen Island have all fallen into his hands.

At this time, a group of people beat gongs and drums and walked over from not far away, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Congratulations to King Qin for breaking the Ming army outside Zhangzhou Mansion and destroying 8,000 enemies!" More than a thousand prisoners! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but change color.

"How is this possible!"

Soon a notice was posted, and many passers-by hurriedly approached and then looked at it carefully.

"On June 15, the second year of the Apocalypse, Cheng Yinglin, deputy commander-in-chief of South Australia, together with Xie Hongyi, deputy commander-in-chief, led nearly 10,000 soldiers to attack Zhangzhou Mansion. But I didn't expect to be able to attack for a long time, after Lu Yan, the king of Qin, learned about it, he personally led 4,000 elite soldiers to come back to help, and then the iron cavalry rushed into battle, breaking the Ming army, and finally annihilated 8,000 enemies and captured more than 1,000 prisoners. I, King Qin, win! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but look like earth, and then muttered: "Fake! It must be fake! ”
