After the Battle of Hukou, Su Li lost all the ships of the navy, and more than 10,000 of his 50,000 soldiers were killed and wounded. After abandoning the ship, Su Li returned to Nanchang by land with the remnants of the defeated army.

After the news of the defeat of the rebel army reached Nanchang Mansion, the Heavenly King Xu Hongru was furious. Originally, he was able to make Su Li the deputy sect leader because of the benefits of Su Li's naval army and water warfare, but now Su Li was defeated and returned, folding all the warships, so that the Ming army broke through the mouth of the lake, and the fleet directly entered Poyang Lake, which was extremely unfavorable to his great cause.

Because most of the main towns in Jiangxi are concentrated near rivers and lakes, especially once Poyang Lake falls into the hands of the Ming army, the Ming army can use the waterways of Poyang Lake to attack everywhere, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Most people in the White Lotus Sect did not approve of Su Li, but the deputy sect leader had been silent because of Su Li's strength at the beginning, and he had paid a large amount of military salaries for the White Lotus Sect. Now that the White Lotus Sect has controlled most of Jiangxi's cities and towns, and has controlled Jiangxi's finances, there is no shortage of money. This time, Su Li was defeated, and Wu Song, Wu Liuqi and others immediately attacked him en masse, demanding that Su Li be removed from the position of deputy sect leader.

A mansion in the city of Nanchang Mansion was given to Su Li by Xu Hongru as the general's mansion.

Su Li, Yang Guang, Zhu Ayao, and the Chao Gang's henchmen gathered together to discuss the current situation.

"This group of dogs, before they won the world, they began to unload and kill donkeys, it's really infuriating!"

Yang Guang scolded, and the generals were indignant.

Zhu Ayao asked worriedly: "Big brother! What do we do now? Wu Song's group of guys had already coveted the position of the eldest brother's deputy sect leader and the position of the general, and this time they just wanted to impeach the eldest brother by bullets! ”

Su Li sighed: "Wu Song, they have never regarded us as their own people, and now that we have lost again, they have just had a good reputation for impeaching me!" ”

"Thousands of calculations, but I didn't count Deng Haonan to be able to chase!" Yang Guang said: "I knew that we would directly send troops to the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and make a fortune for his mother first." I've been playing in Jiangxi for two months, what's a little bit of oil and water? ”

Zhu Ayao also sighed: "I knew that I would also meet Deng Haonan's navy here, I shouldn't have defected to Xu Hongru in the first place, how good they are like the Yellow Sea, and now I have opened a trading company and followed the Pacific Trading Company, and now I am living a good life!" ”

"Big brother!" Yang Guang said to Su Li: "Let's just vote for Deng Haonan!" ”

Su Li was stunned when he heard this, saw that Yang Guang's attitude was very resolute, and looked at Zhu Ayao, who also did not object.

After walking back and forth for a while, he suddenly stomped his foot and said resolutely: "In this case, our party should plan well!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

During his trip to Nanjing, Deng Haonan received five million taels of silver from Huang Hairu personally, as well as a surrender letter to help Su Li and others find another way out.

"Your Excellency!" Huang Hairu said respectfully to Deng Haonan: "My eldest brother used to be blind, and was deceived by Xu Hongru's rhetoric, and now the adult is coming, my eldest brother suddenly sobered up, ready to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and hope that the adult will raise his noble hand, and I will wait for tens of thousands of disciples to help the tide on the fifteenth day of the new year every month, and worship the kindness of the adult three times!" ”

Deng Haonan read the surrender letter sent by Huang Hairu, and Su Li's words on it were already very clear, as long as Deng Haonan let them go, Su Li would sacrifice the heads of Xu Hongru and others, and cooperate with the Liaodong Army to quell the White Lotus rebellion.

When he saw the back, Deng Haonan could not hide the surprise in his heart. As long as the White Lotus Sect fights among themselves, the millions of rebels will collapse in an instant, and the Liaodong Army will have no trouble quelling the rebellion in Jiangxi.

However, Su Li did not surrender to Deng Haonan when he was in Cam Ranh Bay before, which made Deng Haonan a little unhappy. Now when Sully voted for him again, he felt uneasy.

"If it happens, my father will give you a big reward, and I will never treat you badly!"

Huang Hairu saw Deng Haonan relieved, and hurriedly said: "Master Xie is complete!" My eldest brother does not want to be an official, but only asks for a warrant from an adult to allow us to reopen the Chaobang Business Association. ”

Deng Haonan was just a temptation just now, and when he saw that Huang Hairu did not ask for high-ranking officials, but only wanted to do business, he was suddenly relieved.

Why is that? Didn't Su Li defect to Xu Hongru just to become an official? ”

Huang Hairu smiled bitterly and said, "Your lord's eyes are like torches!" That's right, my eldest brother did think like this at the beginning, but now he doesn't want to be an official anymore, he just wants to go back to do business like us. Now that the adult fleet is in control of Yadong, we no longer have to worry about maritime security, and it is better to continue to do our best maritime business! ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "You gave my father-in-law five million taels of silver, and my father-in-law will not treat you badly, so be it!" After the matter is completed, this government will allow your Chaobang Business Association to reopen, and exempt your Chaobang Business Association from paying taxes for another year! ”

Exempt the Chao Gang from paying taxes for a year, which is really a lot of silver. Huang Hairu was immediately pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him for his grace.

"That's right!" Deng Haonan said: "You sue Su Li, before you cut off Xu Hongru's head, you must provoke and force Liu Erhei and Yan Bing to turn against the water, if the White Lotus Sect is infighting, he Su Li should be the first to remember, a great merit!" ”

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!" Huang Hairu hurriedly said: "Xiaomin, go back and tell the truth, be sure to act according to your orders!" ”

It's pretty good!

Deng Haonan nodded and picked up the tea bowl. Seeing this, Huang Hairu hurriedly thanked him again and retired.

After Huang Hairu left, Liu Hu came in from the other side.

"My lord, is this Sully credible?"

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "Eighty percent is true!" This Su Li had just been defeated in the Hukou Water Battle, and as an outsider, he became the deputy sect leader in the White Lotus Sect, which was bound to cause the jealousy of other important members of the sect! ”

Liu Hu said: "This Su Li didn't surrender to the Lord last time, but he surrendered to Xu Hongru, this time he really surrendered, and he can't be reused in the future!" ”

"That's right!" Deng Haonan nodded and said, "I've thought about this question!" Fortunately, Su Li was quite self-aware, and he didn't ask me for high-ranking officials, and sent me five million taels of silver, but the last time I apologized! ”

"But you're exempt from paying taxes for a year, that's a lot of money! If the tide gang works well, five or six million taels of silver will be earned back in a blink of an eye! ”

"If he is doing business and doing business separately, this is nothing!" Deng Haonan said: "If he still dares to go to the third and fourth day, the Chaogang is still a fat sheep, and we have no trouble slaughtering it when we want to!" ”

He added: "At the moment, our priority is to eliminate the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, and this is late May, and I must return to Beijing in another twenty days!" ”

Deng Haonan refers to Wanshu, who is about to give birth, and when she comes to this world, Wanshu can be said to be his closest person. Now that Wanshu is about to give birth, Deng Haonan has another relative, which is more important than anything else in Deng Haonan's heart.

Liu Hu also said: "Yes! Mrs. is about to give birth, and adults should be in a hurry to return to Beijing! I will order the whole army to be diligent and pacify the rebels as soon as possible! ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said: "It is appropriate to be diligent, but you must be careful not to rush in, these are our family backgrounds, don't lose me!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Deng Haonan's side stepped up his troops, avoiding Liu Erhei and Yan Bing's troops, and focusing on other White Lotus Sect generals. As a result, the generals of the White Lotus Sect, who were originally a little skeptical and neutral, also began to suspect that Liu and Yan were having a problem with the Ming army, and the battle to attack the heart had already been effective.

Huang Hairu sent someone to inform Su Li, telling him that Deng Haonan had done it for him, and conveyed Deng Haonan's meaning.

Su Li learned that Deng Haonan didn't care about his defection to Xu Hongru at the beginning, but allowed him to re-establish the Chaobang Business Association and exempt the Chaobang Business Association from paying taxes for one year, which made him feel at ease and immediately took action.

Because Deng Haonan asked Su Li to provoke Liu Erhei and Yan Bing to turn against Xu Hongru, Su Li convened his confidants and brothers to discuss.

After that, Su Li sent Zhu Ayao to Leping to meet Liu Erhei and Yan Bing in secret, and expressed his willingness to help Liu Erhei and Yan Bing seize the throne of the Heavenly King.

Su Li's exclusion was already well known in the White Lotus Sect, so Liu Erhei and Yan Bing did not doubt Su Li's sincerity. After this period of rumors, Liu Erhei and Yan Bing have gone from hesitation at the beginning to their iron-hearted rebellion, and they are already ready to fly.

This Zhu Ayao already knew why there was a stalemate between them, so he deliberately said in front of Liu Erhei and Yan Bing that Xu Hongru had indeed secretly captured the saintess, but he just concealed the truth from them.

When Liu Erhei and Yan Bing heard this, they immediately became confused, and immediately agreed to join forces with Su Li to rebel. The two sides agreed to jointly rebel on May 23, with Su Li taking control of Xu Hongru and Nanchang Mansion, while Liu Erhei and Yan Bing secretly returned to Jinxian with their troops, responsible for destroying Wu Song's Jumu Banner and Chai Xin's Agni Banner.

Wu Song's Jumuqi mercenaries were 100,000 and stationed in Jianchang, Nankang Mansion. General Liu Erhei personally led the army to suppress it. The 80,000 mercenaries of the Agni Banner of Firewood were stationed in Linchuan, Fuzhou Prefecture, which was the closest to the headquarters of Yan Bing, and Yan Bing personally led the army to suppress it.

After the two sides agreed that Liu Erhei would be the king of heaven, Su Li would be the king of the east, Yan Bing would be the king of the west, and the rest would be rewarded by Liu Erhei at his discretion.

After Su Li discussed with Liu Erhei and Yan Bing, Liu Erhei personally proposed 120,000 elites to secretly go to Zhaojiawei east of Nanchang Mansion. At the same time, Yan Bing led 150,000 elite people to secretly go south to Dongxiang.

After Su Li learned that Liu Erhei and Yan Bing had taken the bait, he immediately secretly reported their rebellion to Xu Hongru.

Xu Hongru was shocked when he heard this, although he had the intention to take away their military power, but now is the time to employ people, Xu Hongru thought that he would not turn his face if he could not turn his face. But now that Su Li had reported the secret, he sent someone to secretly verify it, confirmed that it was true, and immediately showed no mercy to them.

A meeting was convened with generals such as Wu Song, Wu Liuqi, Chai Xin and Tie Tuo, and of course Su Li and others were also present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Liu Erhei and Yan Bing, the two white-eyed wolves, are rebellious, and this king is ready to clean up the portal, what are your plans?"

Xu Hongru went straight to the point and designated Liu Erhei and Yan Bing as anti-thieves, and the other generals also knew the inside story, so they were not surprised.

And Wu Song and Chai Xin were the most nervous, because Liu Erhei's army was going to attack Wu Song's giant wooden banner, and Yan Bing's army was going to attack Chai Xin's fire flag, they were the first to bear the brunt, so they were naturally more nervous than others.

Wu Song said: "Liu Erhei's army has secretly arrived in Zhaojiawei, and according to what the deputy sect leader said, they will attack Jianchang Mansion tomorrow night. Why don't I lead the army to ambush in Changyi, wait for work, and wait until Liu Erhei passes by, and wipe it out! ”

Chai Xin nodded and said, "We can't sit still, just as Lord Wu said, we set up an ambush to annihilate them." I led the army to ambush in Yinling, as long as Yan Bing's men and horses arrived, I would kill them and not leave a single piece of armor! ”

Tie Tuo said: "We still have 100,000 horses in Ruijin Banner, I will allocate 50,000 to support the Wu Banner Lord, and another 50,000 to support the Chai Banner Lord, to ensure that they are eliminated!" ”

"Good!" Xu Hongru nodded and said, "Just do as you say!" ”

"No!"

Su Li suddenly said: "The army of the Iron Banner Lord has gone out to support, so who will guard Nanchang Mansion?" The Heavenly King's golden body cannot be lost, and the Iron Banner Lord still left behind to protect the Heavenly King! ”

Su Li was secretly happy in his heart, and wished that Tietuo's 100,000 horses would be transferred out of Nanchang Mansion. But he still has to do a good job, so that people can't suspect that he is the real rebel.

Sure enough, his words suddenly made Xu Hongru and the others nod with satisfaction, and it seemed that the other party had accepted his love.

Xu Hongru said: "General Su doesn't have to worry about this king!" The iron banner lord can divide troops to reinforce the Wu banner lord and the chai banner master. ”

Su Li said with a worried face: "But the Heavenly King, your safety!" ”

"It's okay!" Xu Hongru smiled: "Isn't there still your tens of thousands of people stationed in Nanchang Mansion?" Enough is enough! ”

Su Li sighed: "The subordinates are not doing well, after the defeat at Hukou, the army's morale is unstable, and the subordinates are afraid that it will not be good if these soldiers are cowardly when it comes to the real chapter!" ”

Xu Hongru glanced at Su Li and sighed: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, General Su doesn't have to take it to heart, they impeached you a few days ago just to show off and give an explanation to the whole army." This time you have made a great contribution, and this king guarantees that no one can replace your position as a general! ”

As soon as the words fell, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of Wu Song, Chai Xin, Tie Tuo and others.

"Brother Su, don't worry!" Wu Liuqi said: "Isn't there still me in this Nanchang Mansion?" Guarantee that the king is okay! ”

Su Li waved his hand and said, "How can your five thousand people be protected?" ”

Wu Liuqi laughed and said, "Brother Su, I'm afraid I don't know yet, the Heavenly King has already replenished me with 100,000 horses, and my camp is in full swing now!" ”

Su Li gasped and said in a dark way.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he said: "Qiyu Heavenly King, Liu Erhei and Yan Bing want me to raise troops in Nanchang Mansion to respond, and my subordinates must play a good show." So that they can believe. Otherwise, they would not act rashly, so that the Wu Banner Lord and the Chai Banner Lord would not be able to ambush them. ”

Xu Hongru nodded, thinking that what Su Li said made sense, and asked, "General Su, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Sully nodded and replied, "That's right! I thought that I would lead the troops tomorrow night and pretend to attack the camp of the sixth man, but the sixth man feigned defeat and left from behind the camp. In this way, Liu Erhei and Yan Bing's meticulous work in Nanchang Mansion will believe that Nanchang Mansion has been taken by me, and then they will march without hesitation and enter our encirclement! ”

"Isn't that easy?" Wu Liuqi laughed and said, "I'll just cooperate when the time comes!" ”

Xu Hongru always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason, and when Wu Liuqi smiled like this, his thoughts were suddenly disrupted, so he had to nod in agreement.

Then, everyone began to act separately, and Xu Hongru didn't have time to think about anything else in his busyness.

Back at the General's Mansion, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, if he wasn't careful, he would have been planted this time. Because of thousands of calculations, he didn't expect that Xu Hongru still had an army of 100,000 hidden by his side.

The camp of Wu Liuqi's 100,000-strong army was on Jilong Mountain, northwest of Nanchang Prefecture, and Su Li had always thought that there were only 5,000 men and horses there, so he didn't pay attention to it. Now that the other side has 100,000 horses, this has to be rearranged.

Fortunately, Su Li's brain turned fast and arranged to act with Wu Liuqi. This Wu Liuqi thought that Su Li was playing fake, which gave Su Li a chance to defeat them and create a zào.

Su Li's actions have been secretly relayed to Deng Haonan, Nan Zhili Xingyuan, and Deng Haonan has also made arrangements. The 2nd Cavalry Artillery Division and the 1st Marine Division were ordered to converge with the 2nd Division of the Black Armored Elite Cavalry to launch a general attack on the Leping Line. Accompanying the attack was the 20,000-strong Ming army of the Ming army in Fuliang County, Hong Zhanzu, the governor of Jiangxi. The purpose of the battle was to completely annihilate the 80,000 defenders in Leping City.

Huang Dahai mobilized 60,000 horse infantry troops, and divided into two routes, one way out of the Huaiyu Mountain line, advancing to Yinshan, the other way out of Qigong Town, over Lingshan, along the Jianjie waterway to surround Dexing from behind, the purpose is to completely annihilate the 70,000 troops left by the Yan soldiers.

At the same time, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Lancer Divisions and the 3rd Cavalry Artillery Division, the main force of the Liaodong Army, had already crossed Dongtao Mountain and suddenly appeared in Longnan, and the defenders of the White Lotus Sect were caught off guard. Under the cover of the fire of the 3rd Cavalry Artillery Division, 30,000 lancers quickly conquered the lair of the White Lotus Sect in the Immortal Ridge, drove all the White Lotus Sect troops in the surrounding areas into the plain towns, and surrounded and annihilated them one by one.

Soon, the iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army trampled all over the land of Southern Jiangxi, and the governor of Guangdong and Huguang saw that the Liaodong army was like a bamboo, and led troops to attack Jiangxi one after another, looting the people's fat and people's ointment. Faced with the powerful Liaodong Army and the overwhelming influx of troops from the surrounding provinces, the prefectures and counties in southern Jiangxi surrendered one after another.

The fight in the south is in full swing, but the north has not yet received news. The core members of the White Lotus Sect were all preparing for infighting, and no one cared about anything else.

On the night of 23 May, Sully rebelled on time. Nearly 40,000 Chao Gang disciples quickly captured Nanchang Mansion City, and the defenders of Nanchang Mansion City received Xu Hongru's order not to resist, this big oolong joke was not understood until Xu Hongru died.

Wu Liuqi's camp at Jilong Mountain was even more laughing, Yang Guang only brought 3,000 people to attack, and the defenders were also not allowed to resist after receiving Wu Liuqi's order. However, Yang Guang's 3,000 men brought enough sulfur, fire oil, and rockets, and as soon as they rushed into the camp of Jilong Mountain, they immediately set fire to them everywhere, not even letting go of the granary.

"I'm cǎo! You don't need to act so realistically! ”

Wu Liuqi cursed Su Li fiercely, and then retreated from the back mountain path with the army. Unexpectedly, when he traveled to the mountains and valleys and dense forests, he was suddenly ambushed by Zhu Ayao's 30,000 troops.

Rolling wood and stones, ten thousand arrows fired together, Wu Liuqi was defenseless, and suffered heavy casualties. Zhu Ayao took advantage of the situation and the whole army came over, and the 100,000 army suddenly collapsed. Wu Liuqi was shot and killed by random arrows in the chaotic army, and the remnants of his defeated soldiers saw that there was no way to retreat, so they surrendered one after another. V
