The fire is raging on Jilong Mountain, and the blood is flowing like a river under the mountain. Su Li did a fake trick, causing Wu Liuqi's 100,000-strong army to be wiped out, and he ended up with 10,000 arrows piercing his body.

At the same time, Su Li personally led people to break into Xu Hongru's Tianwang Mansion, corrected Xu Hongru on the spot, and sent people to Nanjing to take his head.

It came too suddenly, Xu Hongru didn't understand what was going on until he died, and Su Li didn't give him a chance to explain.

Su Li controlled Nanchang Mansion, allowed to enter but not to leave, and strictly sealed the news. Outside, Wu Song, Chai Xin, Tie Tuo and other core generals of the White Lotus Sect thought that Nanchang Mansion was just acting, and they concentrated their minds to deal with Liu Erhei and Yan Bing's two-way army.

That night, Liu Erhei was ambushed by Wu Song's army in Changyi, and Yan Bing was ambushed by Chai Xin's army in Yinling, and their hundreds of thousands of troops suffered heavy casualties. However, the two of them have been on the battlefield for a long time, and after the battle of Dagushan, their army has grown up and is strong in combat.

Liu Erhei sacrificed 90,000 horses, and finally stormed Changyi and broke into the city. However, more than half of the remaining 30,000 horses were wounded, and only more than 10,000 defended the city. Outside the city was Wu Song's army of more than 100,000 people, which surrounded Changyi. Although Wu Song took advantage of the sneak attack, it was not easy to eat Liu Erhei's 90,000 horses, and he lost more than 40,000 people. Liu Er's black trapped beast was still fighting, and Wu Song sent troops to attack the city in turn, but he couldn't take it, and the casualties increased.

Yan Bing's situation is not as good as Liu Erhei's, because Liu Erhei is surrounded by the plain, and after storming Changyi, there can be a city as a barrier. Yan soldiers were ambushed in Yinling, with huge boulders blocking the road in front, and 100,000 troops blocking the road behind Chai Xin, and on the ridges on both sides, Chai Xin arranged 50,000 horses and horses, attacking with rolling wood and stones, and rockets, causing Yan Bing's 150,000 troops to be killed by one-third in an instant.

The breakthrough could only be killed from behind, Yan Bing and his subordinates were sure to die, and they broke through outward without their lives. Although there were 100,000 troops blocking the road, they were torn open by Yan Bing's army in the fierce battle, and nearly 200,000 troops on both sides broke out in a scuffle.

By dawn, both sides had suffered heavy casualties. There were less than 10,000 Yan soldiers left, and there were more than 12,000 firewood salaries, so Tie Tuo transferred 50,000 troops on the ridge to participate in the battle. Yan Bing saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so he had to continue to rush and fight to the death.

At noon on the 24th, Yan Bing fought to death from exhaustion, and the only dozen or so remaining soldiers around him killed themselves together. At this point, the 150,000 troops brought by Yan Bing were all wiped out. But the saddest thing to cry was Chai Xin, there were less than 5,000 people left in his 100,000 army of the Fire Banner, although Tietuo picked up the cheap, but the last 10,000 people who eliminated Yan Bing also lost nearly 10,000 people.

With less than 50,000 horses, the two returned to Nanchang Mansion in despair. Unexpectedly, Su Li arranged an ambush in the urn city at the south gate of Nanchang Mansion to lure Chai Xin and Tietuo into the urn city. The two were defenseless, and as soon as they entered the urn city, they were shot and killed by Su Li's sharpshooters. His subordinates were in chaos, and Su Li's troops shot and killed them with random arrows, and then raised 20,000 horses and infantry to cover up and kill.

Chai Xin and Tie Tuo were killed, and their armies were covered and unable to organize resistance, and they were instantly defeated. Most of the remnants of the soldiers threw their weapons and ran home to pretend to be peasants, and only a few generals went straight to Changyi with a few thousand people and went to Wu Song.

The White Lotus Sect was infighting, and the Liaodong Army took advantage of the fire to rob.

On the night of the 23rd, the second division of the black armor elite cavalry rushed to Leping, the defenders of Leping were afraid of the heavy cavalry, and they did not know how many men and horses of the other party in the night, so they did not dare to go out of the city to fight, but only defended the city.

Unexpectedly, the Black Armor Elite Cavalry did not attack Leping County, but intended to contain the Leping defenders and prevent the Leping defenders from attacking the 30,000 Taiwanese Horse Infantry Army who had made a detour from Qigong Town. The defenders of Leping did not dare to go out of the city to fight, which was cheaper for the Liaodong army.

The black armor elite cavalry then made a detour to Yongtai, joined the 30,000 horse infantry army of the Yellow Sea, and attacked Yan Bingtun's army on the front line of Dexing-Yinshan from behind.

At this time, on the frontal battlefield of Yinshan, another 30,000 horse infantry troops of Huang Dahai were attacking. The defenders of Yinshan were all pressed to the front to defend against the enemy, and the rear defense was weak.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the 2nd Division of the Black Armored Elite Cavalry successfully attacked the rear camp of the enemy army in Yinshan, and the 10,000 heavy cavalry suddenly became a nightmare for the enemy.

Forty miles of the joint camp, under the front and rear attacks of the Liaodong Army, the Yinshan defense line carefully arranged by Yan soldiers collapsed. The Liaodong Army pursued the victory and covered all the way into Dexing City, and the defenders could not resist the wolf-like Liaodong Army and surrendered one after another.

At this point, Yan Bing's thick soil banner was completely wiped out.

At dawn, the 2nd Cavalry Artillery Division and the 1st Marine Division of the Liaodong Army also left Wuyuan for the Leping front. Hong Zhanzu, the governor of Jiangxi, also led 20,000 horse infantry troops to join the division, but they were not needed at all.

The Second Cavalry Artillery Division of the Liaodong Army erected the cannon, and it only took ten minutes to collapse the Leping City Wall, and then the Black Armor Elite Cavalry rushed in and completely crushed the enemy's will to resist, and then the First Marine Division entered the city to clean up the battlefield. The defenders of Leping knew that they were invincible, and there was no hope of breaking through, so they surrendered one after another.

The main force of the White Lotus Sect was annihilated, and Deng Haonan quickly informed the governors of the southern provinces of the news. These prefects originally received an order from Huang Liji, the first assistant, to secretly give Deng Haonan a hand and foot to delay the time for the Liaodong Army to quell the rebellion. However, what Huang Liji never expected was that the buttocks of these officials were very unclean, and Deng Haonan held their handles. When Deng Haonan sent them their handles in the form of letters, they settled down one after another, no longer dragging Deng Haonan back, and the grain and grass supplies were sent to Nanzhili on time and in full.

Now that they learned that the Liaodong Army had won a decisive victory, the main force of the White Lotus Sect was wiped out, and there was internal strife, they seized the opportunity to make a fortune, poured all the troops of the provinces, and poured into Jiangxi in one go.

On May 26, the governor of Zhejiang sent 10,000 troops to attack Guangxin Mansion in Guangxi, and took Guangxin Mansion within three days. On the same day, Fujian Xingdu Division sent 8,000 troops to capture Jianchang Mansion in Guangxi, and captured Linchuan, the capital of Fuzhou Prefecture three days later.

On the 27th, the governor of Guangdong sent 5,000 troops and captured the city of Anfu in southwest Jiangxi the next day. On the same day, the governor of Huguang transferred 30,000 troops and occupied Ji'an, Yuanzhou, Ruizhou and Linjiang by three routes.

The provinces sent troops to receive merit and reward, second, to show favor to Deng Haonan, and third, to go to Jiangxi to get some oil and water, even if Jiangxi was poor, they had to loot it.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Lancer Divisions and the 3rd Cavalry Division, the main forces of the Liaodong Army, surrounded the nearby White Lotus Sect army in Ganxian on the 24th, and launched a general attack the next day, capturing Ganxian on the same day, annihilating 100,000 White Lotus Sect soldiers, disciples, and people who refused to surrender to the rebels.

So far, Jiangxi's largest Gannan Prefecture has been pacified, and most of Jiangxi's prefectures and counties have been recovered.

On the 27th, the 2nd Division of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry of the Liaodong Army arrived at Nanchang Mansion, and Suli Kaicheng surrendered. The next day, the main forces of the Liaodong Army joined forces in Nanchang Prefecture. Army Minister Liu Hu personally arrived in Nanchang to arrange the aftermath of Jiangxi's recovery. At the same time, Wu Song learned that the general trend had gone, and no longer besieged Liu Erhei's Changyi, and retreated to Wucheng to defend it.

On the 28th, the Liaodong Army surrounded Changyi and Wucheng. That night, the Liaodong army bombarded the city wall of Changyi with artillery. Liu Erhei was unwilling to be captured alive by Deng Haonan again, so he killed himself. There were less than 1,000 remnants of his men, all of whom were killed in battle.

At dawn the next day, the Liaodong Army launched a general attack on Wucheng, and broke through the city half an hour later. Wu Song was isolated, knowing that the general trend was gone, he committed suicide by poisoning himself in a mansion in the city. His men beheaded him and surrendered.

At this point, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in southern Gan was put down. It was a surprise that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, which had gathered millions of people, collapsed within a few months.

Deng Haonan, who was in Nanjing, was both happy and disappointed when he got the news that the Jiangxi rebellion had been put down.

Happily, the rebellion of the Million White Lotus Sect was defeated by his own series of counter-plots and serial schemes. The Liaodong Army only paid one hundred and thirty casualties to put down this large-scale rebellion, which has to be said to be a miracle and worthy of joy.

However, to Deng Haonan's disappointment, he felt that he seemed to be back in the trajectory of history. Originally, the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in southern Jiangxi was only a faint stroke in the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the scale of this rebellion was not large, it did not go beyond the scope of Jiangxi, and it was quickly quelled, so it was not enough to compare with Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang. However, because of the emergence of Deng Haonan, Xu Hongru's scale has expanded to one million people, and he has Su Li's huge financial support. Calculations of this magnitude should not go unnoticed. But it was precisely because Deng Haonan accidentally spied on the internal contradictions of the White Lotus Sect and took the opportunity to use a counter-plot to guide the White Lotus Sect to collapse due to internal strife.

In this way, the impact and results of this White Lotus rebellion became minimal, and it returned to the trajectory of history.

"Your Excellency!" Ding Da Niu came in and said: "The excerpt has been prepared, you can see it!" ”

"No need!" Deng Haonan waved his hand and said, "Send it directly!" ”

Ding Daniu was ordered to leave, Tan Wanqing saw that Deng Haonan was depressed, and thought that he blamed himself for the death of Liu Erhei and Yan Bing, so he stepped forward and said: "You don't have to blame yourself!" From the day they joined the church, they were destined to embark on a road of no return. Besides, as you said, they died a heroic death! ”

Of course, Deng Haonan is not blaming himself, he wishes that these two rivals in love would hang up!

Seeing Tan Wanqing mention it, he said, "If you hadn't met me, would you choose one of them?" ”

Tan Wan smiled lightly: "We grew up practicing martial arts together, I treat them as my own brother, I won't hurt any of them!" If I had to choose, I would probably be a farmer's daughter-in-law! ”

"So I've picked up a bargain!"

"What do you think?"

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "If you are a peasant daughter-in-law, then Xu Hongru will definitely arrest you back as the wife of the sect leader!" ”

"You still say?" Tan Wanqing was suddenly angry and said, "Which pot is not opened!" Begging! ”

Tan Wanqing hit her with a fist, but she didn't have much strength, Deng Haonan dodged lightly, and took her into his arms.

"Have you forgotten the famous saying that jì is a husband?"

"What?"

"Of course I'm going to bed and begging for a beating!"

"Don't-"

"Women say no!"

"Yes!"

Deng Haonan laughed and said, "This is what you said!" ”

As soon as Tan Wanqing changed her words, she suddenly knew that she had been fooled, and with a coquettish cry, she was picked up by Deng Haonan and walked to the bedroom.

"No! It's still daylight! ”

Tan Wan couldn't stop slapping in protest, but she seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and soon there was a heavy gasp from the two in the bedroom. The maids on the left and right lowered their curtains one after another, and one by one they hid away with red faces, and occasionally a few bold ones deliberately stayed nearby to eavesdrop.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the afternoon, Liu Hu returned to Nanjing from Nanchang Mansion and reported to Deng Haonan on the situation in Jiangxi.

"Your Excellency!" Liu Hu said directly to the point: "The rebellion in Jiangxi has basically been pacified, and occasionally some remnants of the White Lotus Sect have fled into the mountains, but they are no longer a climate. It's just that after the war in Jiangxi, the people's lives are not as good as before, and they are even more difficult, and if the people's living problems are not solved, the peasants will rebel within a few months! ”

Deng Haonan nodded, he knew that the common people would not embark on the road of rebellion if they had a bite to eat. Once the peasants rebelled, it was basically irreversible. Because the peasants rebelled and robbed more of the peasants, it would lead to more peasants' wives being scattered and the cultivated land being wasted.

"Is there any movement at the court?"

Ding Daniu shook his head and said: "The imperial court has no money and no food, the north is already short of grain, and the northwest can't supply it, let alone transfer grain to the south for disaster relief!" ”

"What about the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Ding Da Niu sighed: "Don't mention them! It is true that the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is true, but the heaviest taxes paid by the imperial court are also in the south. The common people in the south grow a lot of grain, but they can't eat enough for themselves, and they all pay grain taxes, which is really unreasonable! ”

The farmer can't eat enough, and the fisherman can't afford to eat fish, which is the true portrayal of the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Empire lived on the grain and taxes in the south, so the taxes and taxes in the south were heavy, coupled with the continuous wars in the north, the court officials were exploited layer by layer, and finally they were apportioned to the people in the south, which made them breathless, making the food and taxes less and less year by year, accelerating the vicious circle.

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "It looks like we're going to make another move!" ”

"That's right! That's what the General Staff means! Ding Daniu said: "The General Staff believes that the Lord quelled the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and returned peace to the people of Jiangxi. If the adults give more money and food to the victims, it will greatly benefit the prestige of the adults. Now that the summer solstice is approaching, the people of Jiangxi will definitely not be able to pay the summer tax, and they will not even be able to get the autumn grain. The adults helped the victims at this time, which undoubtedly gave the people of Jiangxi a way to live, and they will remember the good of the adults! ”

That's right!

Deng Haonan nodded, at the moment he has 100 million taels of silver in his hand as war preparation funds, and 50 million stone grain as war preparation food, which can be used to buy the hearts of the people.

You must know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Deng Haonan has been thinking about how to gain fame, but he has forgotten this most important point.

If you have so much food and silver in your hands, why don't you use it to buy the hearts and minds of the people?

Deng Haonan figured out the joints, so he approved the General Staff to provide relief grain to Jiangxi. At the same time as distributing grain to the people of Jiangxi, Deng Haonan announced by the way that Jiangxi would be exempted from taxes for two years.

The order was issued from Nanzhili, and after the official document was delegated to the locality, it was immediately told by the people of Jiangxi, and for a time Deng Haonan distributed relief grain to Jiangxi and exempted Jiangxi from taxation, and every household was grateful to Dade.

Since the relief grain of the Liaodong Governor's Office was directly distributed by the Liaodong Governor's Office, these grains were directly distributed to the common people, with an average of two stone of grain per person per household, ensuring that they could live in peace and spend the first year of post-war reconstruction.

Jiangxi Governor Hong Zhanzu is still his Jiangxi Governor, Deng Haonan is not guilty of his previous affairs, and now he can only govern Jiangxi people with Jiangxi people, so he can't do without him. Although Hong Zhanzu was once corrupt and perverted the law, it has to be said that he is still very capable in managing Jiangxi affairs. With him sitting in Jiangxi, and Deng Haonan leaving the 30,000 garrisons of the Taiwan government in Jiangxi on guard, the remnants of ordinary anti-thieves did not dare to move.

At the same time, the common people have food, and at the same time they are exempt from taxes for two years, who wants to rebel? Therefore, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have no mass base and cannot afford to rise up storms.

However, Deng Haonan's exemption from Jiangxi's two-year tax payment was a bit overstepping, and Jiangxi officials were under the pressure of Hong Zhanzu, but they didn't dare to say anything. The officials were all paid by the Liaodong Governor's Office, and they didn't bother to offend Deng Haonan. But after all, this is overstepping, and the court is not giving in.

However, Deng Haonan naturally has his own way. wrote an excerpt and handed it directly to the palace and handed it to Concubine Cheng. This concubine naturally wanted to win over Deng Haonan, and after seeing Deng Haonan's excerpt, she sold him a favor.

Concubine Cheng agreed, Huang Liji and the others immediately gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to turn their faces with Concubine Cheng.

This matter was solved in this way, Huang Liji and others never expected that Deng Haonan would quell the rebellion in Jiangxi so quickly, and even bribed Jiangxi officials and won the love of the people of Jiangxi. This was something they couldn't tolerate, so they began to secretly plot against Deng Haonan again. However, just as they were about to plot against Deng Haonan, bad news suddenly came.

On May 13, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, Tang Jing finally couldn't stand the struggle for power in the inner and outer courts, so he gave the Emperor of the Apocalypse medicine, and three days later, the Emperor of the Apocalypse woke up.

The emperor unexpectedly sobered up, which should have been a good thing. But for Huang Liji and them, this is undoubtedly great bad news.

The previous efforts were in vain, as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse woke up, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in line before, and it would be meaningless to choose the harem concubines as Kao Mountain, but it would touch the emperor's nerves and lead the emperor to attack them.

But Huang Liji and they have always liked the wicked to sue first, so the ministers tacitly chose to lead the troubles to the east, and let the emperor target Deng Haonan with his anger.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse woke up, he had already learned from Tang Jing what had happened in the past year, and this Tang Jing was just an objective statement of things, and it was fair. However, Deng Haonan's strength was feared by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, even if Deng Haonan helped him extend his life for more than a year, it could not dispel the worries in his heart.

However, just when the Emperor of the Apocalypse was preparing to take care of the government, bad news came from outside the gate.

Huang Taiji personally led an army of 200,000, including 100,000 Mongolian troops, bypassing the Shanhaiguan in western Liaoxi and breaking through the customs from the west of Jizhen on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

The Battle of the Entrance has broken out! V
