I would like to thank the friends who have been strongly supporting the cruiser, thank you! lake
As Shuang'er said, Wu Liuqi finally chose the former between Xu Hongru and Chen Wanqing. After leaving Chen Wanqing's place, he immediately conveyed Chen Wanqing's words to Xu Hongru and others. As the sect leader and the future emperor, Xu Hongru did not allow anyone to go against his will, so he immediately sent additional people to guard Chen Wanqing's residence.
Just before Xu Hongru's heavy troops arrived, Shi Wanqing had already slipped away.
It wasn't until the next day that Wu Liuqi made an appointment to cover Chen Wanqing's escape at night, and after finding that Tan Wanqing hadn't come all night, he hurriedly asked Tan Wanqing, and as a result, he recognized on the spot that Zhen Wanqing in front of him was not the real person.
Xu Hongru was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly sent troops to chase him, but Fu Wanqing had already used the two days to run out of Jiangxi.
After Chen Wanqing went all the way out of Jiangxi, she returned to the capital directly in disguise.
She wanted to rescue Liu Erhei and Yan Bing, with their protection, so that she could escape from Xu Hongru's demonic drag
But now that Chen Wanqing's escape has made her no longer the saintess of the White Lotus Sect, she has no right to mobilize troops, and it is not easy to rescue Liu Erhei and Yan Bing.
The prison of the Criminal Department is heavily guarded, and key criminals such as Wei Zhongxian and Liu Erhei are strictly guarded, and they can't enter without Deng Haonan's token.
If you want to get Mu Haonan's token, you need to get close to Deng Haonan, Chen Wanqing thought of sneaking into the Guogong Mansion to steal the token, but Deng Haonan recognized that she was easily exposed, and wanted to use Yan Siyu, but remembered that she had promised not to harass her again, and once Yan Siyu was used to steal the token, it would definitely affect her, and Chen Wanqing also vetoed this. The best way is to kidnap Deng Haonan, which is the best plan to rescue Liu Erhei and Yan Bing.
However, how easy is it to kidnap Deng Haonan? He has a lot of guards around him, and it's hard to get started. Soon, Chen Wanqing heard that Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, invited Di Haonan to a banquet, so Chen Wanqing turned into a maid and mixed into Wang Qia's mansion to listen to the news.
It turned out that Wang Qia was suffering from the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and had no troops to defend himself, so he has been currying favor with Deng Haonan and the cabinet ministers these days, hoping that the cabinet can allow the small Liaodong army to enter the pass and suppress the White Lotus Sect. But there is little enthusiasm on both sides, the cabinet side. Huang Liji and others did not believe that the White Lotus Sect's rebellion could set off much of a storm, and believed that only the mobilization of the towns and armies of the surrounding provinces in Jiangxi was enough to suppress the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. And Deng Haonan's side was not in a hurry, because Na Haonan hoped that the White Lotus Sect could hit the local Ming army fiercely, so that the Ming army realized that it was impossible to resist the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and then they should turn around and beg Deng Haonan for help.
Both sides have their own minds, but it is bitter for Wang Qia. As the secretary of the military department, he was really wronged to be caught in the middle. In order to keep his official position, he had to feast both sides twice in three days, and adopted the method of soft grinding and hard foaming.
Chen Wanqing learned that every time Deng Haonan and Huang Liji and others went to Wang Qia's mansion for a banquet, they would hire a large number of famous singers and dancers in the capital to help the fun. Chen Wanqing observed that the defensive vigilance of the ministers at the banquet was the lowest, and in the eyes of Chen Wanqing, Deng Haonan was so lustful and his vigilance was also very low.
As a result, Chen Wanqing formulated a plan to get close to Deng Haonan.
In the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhili in the south has the famous Qinhuai Eight Uniques, all of whom are extraordinary and talented. But in the north, Beizhili not only has eight alleys, but also has eight unique capitals.
Because of the importance of the capital and the feet of the Son of Heaven, although the Eight Uniques of the capital are not as beautiful and refined as those of the Eight Masters of Qinhuai, they are also regarded as high-class beauties in the north, and they are no less talented than those in the south.
After Chen Wanqing withdrew from Wang Qia's mansion, she turned into a helpless woman and joined the Qinglou under the pseudonym Shao Xiaoting. Chen Wanqing knew in her heart, she pretended to be pitiful, but she was not a weak woman, she changed other women to enter the Qinglou, and she never wanted to come out again in this life, but Chen Wanqing had kung fu in her body, and it was very easy to escape by surprise.
There are countless green buildings in the capital, and the green buildings behind the eight unique buildings in the capital all have a court background, otherwise there is no need to mix in the capital at all. The backstage behind each family is very hard, and Chen Wanqing naturally wants to inquire clearly, she can only choose the Qinglou supported by Wang Qia. In this way, we can get the moon first and get on the stage of Wang Qia's mansion.
The boss behind Wangxian Tower is Wang Qia, and after Chen Wanqing inquired and understood, she went to the door.
After the old dove Li got Shao Xiaoting. Seeing that she is beautiful and beautiful, she is better than the other eight peers in the capital. Suddenly Feng Ruo Ming, she became the signature lady of Wangxian Tower. Chen Wanqing practiced martial arts, so she learned to dance very well, and at the same time she knew that there was not much time, so she practiced day and night, and quickly learned.
The Li family regarded Tan Wanqing as the cash cow of Wangxian Tower. Before Chen Wanqing was allowed to perform, he hyped up the relationship in the capital. So that the princes and nobles of the entire capital knew that there was a fairy Shao Xiaoting in Wangxian Tower.
The Li family is well versed in the way of famous concubines, and knows that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and a man who can't steal is better than stealing, and he knows that he can't let Chen Wanqing commit to anyone, and he can only let these princes and nobles look at it and can't eat it in their mouths, so they are itchy and unbearable, so that Tan Wanqing can become a cash cow, and the silver will naturally come into the account in an uproar.
However, on the second day of the knife month, the bosses of other Qinglou expressed their doubts about Shao Xiaoting of Wangxian Tower, and Lianyuan Xiaoshao directly slandered Wangxian Tower.
In this regard, the old dove Li naturally chose the right opportunity to show the top card to appease the lonely hearts of the princes and nobles in the capital.
Shao Xiaoting's first performance was very successful, although her dancing and singing voice were very different from other celebrities, but the princes and nobles who came to cheer did not watch the performance, just to see Shao Xiaoting's people.
Sure enough, just like the propaganda of the old dove Li, Shao Xiaoting surpassed the other Eight Uniques of the capital in terms of figure and appearance, and even the experienced guests evaluated her as no less than the Eight Uniques of Qin Huai.
Shao Xiaoting was once popular all over the capital, because compared to other eight peers in the capital, she was still a virgin, and she was naturally much more expensive, so the name of the top brand in the capital was won by Shao Xiaoting.
As soon as this person became famous, his worth suddenly skyrocketed. It immediately aroused the competition of the princes and nobles of the capital. Some have been coerced by power, and some ransomed him with 10,000 taels of gold, all in order to buy her home as a concubine, and at the same time, the princes and nobles also compared with each other, and Shao Xiaoting turned purple for a while.
On the first day of the first month of the year of the Apocalypse, the New Year is celebrated across the country. The White Lotus Sect rebelled.
Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, prayed to the heavens, built the name Yongxing, and proclaimed himself the king of heaven. At the same time, Xu Hongru announced that the Ming Emperor had formed a 102-paragraph rebellion army to swear to the Northern Expedition, and at the same time issued a very strong voice calling on the people of the whole country to crusade against the traitorous ministers.
Due to natural disasters in the north year after year, there are divisions in the Ming Dynasty that only know how to burn the people. In March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (7), a civil uprising broke out in Chengcheng County, Shaanxi, and Zhang Douyao of Zhizhi County was killed. December. The two kings of Baishui County raised the banner of righteousness and gathered to attack the filial piety of Pucheng and Zichuan Town of Hancheng. Then, Jiayin, the king of Fugu, and Zuo, the king of Yichuan, rose together, attacked the castle, and killed the officials.
Yang He, the governor of the three sides, mobilized heavy troops to suppress the small ones, because Yang He did not care about his head, and he did not completely enter the rebels. Ansai Gao Yingxiang and Hannan Wang Daliang, regathered the crowd to respond, Gao Yingxiang claimed to be the king of Chuang, and Wang Daliang claimed to be the king of Daliang. The two of them each gathered more than 100,000 people in chaos, no longer called themselves bandits, and officially walked to the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty, igniting the prelude to the turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Xu Hongru did not claim the title of emperor was also related to Gao Yingxiang and Wang Daliang, because the two of them did not claim the title of emperor, Xu Hongru wanted to form an alliance with them, and if he became emperor, he would inevitably lose their help. Therefore, Xu Hongru did not claim the title of emperor.
As early as last year, Xu Hongru contacted Gao Yingxiang and Wang Daliang, and Gao Yingxiang and Wang Daliang knew that Xu Hongru had rebelled, and immediately clapped their hands. As for Xu Hongru's proposed alliance, they agreed with both hands. So, at the same time that Xu Hongru rebelled and claimed the king, King Gao Yingxiang and King Daliang of Daliang issued a document to denounce Daming and form an alliance with Xu Hongru.
The alliance of the three kings was undoubtedly a huge shock to the Ming court. Because after the alliance of the three kings, the rebel leaders who rebelled in various places threw olive branches to the three kings and formed an alliance with the three kings. Some of them were either dispatched at command or directly joined the army of the Three Kings.
For a time, wars broke out in the Central Plains and the Northwest of China, and there was a momentum of burning the prairies.
After Xu Hongru rebelled, 200,000 rebel troops attacked the city in Jiangxi, and easily captured the Ganzhou Mansion Longnan and Anyuan on the same day, and controlled the Ganzhou Mansion.
Then, the millions of followers of the White Lotus Sect in Jiangxi attacked the local government and county government, and because Hong Zhanzu had already transferred all his troops back to Nanchang Province, the rebels quickly captured Jiangxi Ganzhou Mansion, Nan'an Mansion, Ji'an Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Linjiang Mansion, Yuanzhou Mansion, etc., and controlled the entire central and southern part of Jiangxi.
Five days later, the rebel army defeated the resistance of the local guard army outside Lingshan in Fuzhou Prefecture, occupied Fuzhou Prefecture, and the army approached Nanchang Mansion.
At the mouth of the small river of the Ganjiang River in Nanchang Prefecture, Wu Song, the general of Zhenbei, was ambushed by the Ming army's Poyang Lake water army in Jiangxi Province and lost several hundred people. Wu Song jumped like thunder, but he showed that the Poyang Lake water army of the Ming army was helpless. For a time, the two sides were deadlocked at the Xiaojiangkou ferry.
Soon, Su Li came to help with his Chaogang disciples, who were good at water warfare. Soon, several naval warships were scuttled, so that the Ming generals quickly withdrew from the mouth of the small river.
Originally, Su Li planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the Chao Gang disciples did not adapt to the cold climate of Jiangxi, and many soldiers had stomach troubles.
Su Li knew that maybe they were really unaccustomed to the soil, or maybe they were very scared in their hearts, after all, once the rebellion failed, the Nine Clans would be destroyed.
So Su Li did not continue the pursuit, but turned back and cooperated with Wu Song to capture Fengcheng on the opposite side of Xiaojiangkou. Fengcheng was without a naval army to guard the river, and it was broken overnight, and the prefect fled Nanchang Mansion the day before with his family and belongings.
After Wu Song took Fengcheng, he was still angry with the damaged soldiers, and he did not strictly control the army after entering the city, and the common people of Fengcheng were looted.
Sully had a heart, but in the end he didn't say anything. It's just to restrain the Chao Gang disciples not to get involved.
Hong Zhanzu, the governor of Jiangxi, saw that the rebels of the White Lotus Sect were strong and knew that it would be difficult to resist them on the road, so his original belief in defending Nanchang Mansion was shaken. Shen Kefeng of Anyuan Zhixian also felt that Nanchang could not hold it, so it was better to retreat to Raozhou Mansion, where relying on Poyang Lake, there was a blockade by the Poyang Lake naval army, and there was still some hope for it to be dragged until the arrival of the imperial army.
So, Hong Zhanzu obeyed Shen Ke's feudal yƬ, and the two took advantage of the chaos to loot 620,000 taels of silver, grain and grass in the treasury, and took their families and 5,000 town troops. ran to Raozhou Mansion together. After arriving at Raozhou Mansion, Hong Zhanzu; The second state capital is not even connected to the land, and the uneasiness is forked in the escort of the navy to the Rhine Island in the middle of Poyang Lake in the Zhangchuan River, so that Hong Zhanzu has the naval army to defend it. 5,000 town troops were garrisoned, and the sense of security was greatly increased.
"Your Excellency!" Shen Kefeng suddenly said, "You can't leave all the troops on this island."
"Why?. Hong Zhanzu asked suspiciously: "The White Lotus Sect does not have a warship, it takes time to build a warship, and it takes time to defeat our naval army, and these times are enough for the imperial army to come to the rescue!" ā
Shen Kefeng smiled bitterly: "Although the words are so small, have you forgotten Jingdezhen in the upper reaches of the Changjiang River in Raozhou Prefecture?"
"Jingdezhen!" Hong Zhanzu said incomprehensibly: "What's wrong?" ā
Shen Kefeng rolled his eyes and said, "There is a royal imperial ware factory in Jingdezhen!" If you lose Jingdezhen, how do you explain it to the above? ā
"I can't care about that much!"
"But now the Imperial Ware Factory is under the management of the Liao Guogong, and it has become the industry of the Liao Guogong, do you dare to lose it? .
"This. Hong Zhanzu was dumbfounded, and said worriedly: "How should this be!" ā
Shen Fengcun said: "You have to lead the whole army to defend Fuliang County to ensure that Jingdezhen is not lost."
Floating beams
Hong Zhanzu shook his head and said, "How can such a small county town beon?"
Shen Kefeng said: "The rebels can't cross Raozhou Mansion on water, and they need to make a detour to Leping on land." It took a lot of time, and there wasn't a month they couldn't beat. You stationed your army in Leping, and 5,000 men guarded one Leping. Although I can't stand it, it can last at least ten days and half a month. By the time the rebels arrived in Jingdezhen, it was already two months later! ā
"Isn't that still untenable?
Shen Kefeng said: "You can't think like that! These two months are the time for you to show your loyalty to the imperial court and the Liao State Prince. You think, you are guarding Jingdezhen, ostensibly to help the royal family property, but actually helping the Duke of Liao to guard the family property, both of which are pleasing things, rare to see in a hundred years! ā
"I'd rather this imperial ware factory not be in Jiangxi." Hong Zhanzu said angry words, of course he had to defend Jingdezhen.
So, Hong Zhanzu had no choice but to flee to Fuliang County with his family, and at the same time ordered his henchmen to lead 5,000 town troops to subdue Leping and defend Leping.
When they arrived in Jingdezhen, Hong Zhanzu and Shen Kefeng met with the governor of the Liaodong Governor's Office stationed in Jingdezhen, and repeatedly expressed their loyalty to Deng Haonan through his mouth.
Jingdezhen Governor Tao praised Hong Zhanzu and Shen Kefeng, and hurriedly reported the situation to the Liaoguo Mansion, and at the same time sent Hong Zhanzu and Shen Kefeng's request for life together, waiting for Na Haonan's decision.
After Hong Zhanzu fled, the officials of the surrounding provinces in Jiangxi ran away, and those who couldn't escape surrendered directly to the Yongxing Army.
At the end of January of the year of the tunnel, the Yongxing army captured Nanchang. Xu Hongru occupies most of Jiangxi. Of course, Jiangxi is full of dangerous mountain currents, and the mountain roads are rugged and uncomfortable, which is not conducive to the advance of the army. It will take at least a month or two to completely occupy the whole of Jiangxi.
On 3 February, all the surrounding areas of Nanchang Mansion were occupied, and Xu Hongru also moved the capital from Shenxian Ridge to Nanchang Mansion. Because the treasury of Nanchang Mansion was taken away by Hong Zhanzu, the Yongxing army did not get oil and water, so they had to rob the common people.
However, fortunately, Xu Hongru regarded Nanchang Mansion as a temporary national capital, so he quickly stopped his subordinates from arson and looting.
"Is there any movement in the Dog Court?"
Nanchang Governor's Yamen has now become Xu Hongru's temporary palace. As soon as he arrived at the back hall, Xu Hongru asked Wu Song about the battle situation.
"Heavenly King!" Wu Song replied: "According to the report of the Tanma, the imperial court is transferring town troops from the surrounding provinces, but due to the war in the northwest, the troops in the surrounding provinces are not large, and the governors of the provinces are unwilling to transfer troops in order to protect themselves."
Tie Jin Leng snorted: "Even if they really come, we don't have to be afraid of them!" Now that we have millions of sectarians, we have occupied most of Jiangxi, and the Ming army is all frightened, and they can only surrender when they see us! ā
Xu Hongru waved his hand and said, "Don't be careless! Last time we failed was to teach".
"The Heavenly King is teaching the bell!"
Tie Jin nodded again and again, and Xu Hongru asked, "Sixth." Is there any news from the small works we have planted in various places? ā
Wu Liuqi replied, "Returning to the Heavenly King, the order has been issued, and they will act immediately after receiving the order, so as to ensure that the imperial court cannot draw troops from the border army to the south."
Su Li has been watching from the sidelines to see how many hole cards Xu Hongru has. Now listening to what Wu Liuqi said, I feel very curious.
"What's going on?"
Wu Liuqi saw Su Li asking, hesitated, and looked at Xu Hongru, who smiled and said: "The general is already his own person, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ā
"Whoa!" Wu Liuqi turned to Su Li and said: "General Qiyu, the Heavenly King has long been installed in the military system of the Ming Dynasty, after all these years of operation, they have established a lot of prestige, now the Ming Court is worried about internal and external troubles, the border army is basically living in misery, as long as our careful work is ashamed, it will definitely cause chaos, even if we do not openly rebel, it will also hit the Ming Court hard, so that they cannot send the border army south to deal with us!" ā
"High! It's really high".
Yang Guang gave a thumbs up and praised Xu Hongru, which made Xu Hongru and his cronies very proud. (To be continued)
