Chapter 696: War

Although Fu Wang Ye and Fu Wenxi asked to go on the expedition, but because of Long Xingche's refusal, they were not able to go to Yuming Prefecture in the end.

Guo Hengming and Gao Guoxian went to Yumingzhou this time, and Guo Hengming, as the main general, was named the general of the expedition to the south by Long Xingche.

The deputy general, Gao Guoxian, was given the title of hussar general by Long Xingche, who only had a general from Yipin.

For a while, the two were in the limelight, but the two of them also had worries in their hearts. They have the courage of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they are also military generals, but there are not many opportunities to go on the expedition, and there is less actual combat experience. Now that he has traveled thousands of miles to Yuming Prefecture to quell the rebellion, he still has no bottom in his heart.

At the same time that the two of them led their troops to Yuming Prefecture, there was also a large-scale rebellion in Beiyao County, which was close to Fuwenrui's Zhangwu Prefecture, and Huang Fulai, the county guard of Beiyao County, was Li Incheon's wife and nephew. Soon after Lee Incheon launched a rebellion, he also began to rebel according to the meaning that Lee Incheon had already passed on to him.

After Li Inchuan received Long Yunche's money, he also gave Huang Fulai a lot. Huang Fulai took those silver taels and followed Li Inchuan's orders. Secretly purchased a large number of cannons and weapons from other countries on the border.

Huang Fulai is a brave and unscrupulous person, and even his position as the county guard of Beiyao was mainly obtained through Li Renchuan's connections.

A few years ago, he made a lot of money by selling fake medicinal materials, hurting countless people's lives. When Long Xingche sent someone to investigate, he also found his body, but through Li Renchuan, not only did he avoid death, but also found a substitute ghost to apologize for him.

Now, he has followed Li Incheon to do the rebellion again!

Although Huang Fulai didn't know how to fight, because he used the cannons that Li Incheon bought for him with silver taels, he allowed him to obtain dozens of cities in several counties in the northwest of Chen Kingdom within ten days!

Now, in the northwest of Chenguo, except for Zhang Wuzhou under the jurisdiction of Fu Wenrui, the rest of the counties and counties have basically been beaten down by this Huang Fulai with the cannons he bought!

Fu Wenrui led the soldiers to guard Zhangwuzhou, although Huang Fulai had cannons, but he still failed to move Wuzhou!

This is also due to the fact that Fu Wenrui was prepared for danger in times of peace, and when he stabilized the development of Zhangwu Prefecture, he also prepared some gunpowder, and in Zhangwu Prefecture, there were also seventy or eighty "red-coated cannons" that he applied to the imperial court to design and improve together with Luculent and Zhou Shansheng of Fuwang Mansion before entering the palace.

Originally, Huang Fulai wanted to rely on the cannon and the seventy or eighty red-clothed cannons in Fu Wenrui's hand. But after fighting a battle with Fu Wenrui, he understood that the cannon in his hand was not the opponent of the red-coated cannon at all.

The cannon held by Fu Wenrui was the result of Fu Wenjing and others after careful research and strengthening the destructive power!

And the cannon that Huang Fulai bought from a neighboring country, in front of the red-clothed cannon, is as lethal as adults and children, so naturally he can't beat Fu Wenrui!

Although Fu Wenrui has a red-clothed cannon in his hand, he also has a shortcoming, that is, Zhang Wuzhou's gunpowder is basically exhausted.

After Huang Fulai fought with Fu Wenrui, he was frightened by Fu Wenrui's red-clothed cannon and did not continue to attack Zhang Wuzhou. Fu Wenrui was also very glad about this, he was worried that Zhang Wuzhou would lose because of the lack of gunpowder!

Under the instruction of Li Inchuan, Huang Fulai temporarily surrounded Zhangwuzhou with his troops, and waited for Zhangwuzhou to attack when he was the weakest, and swallowed Zhangwuzhou, a major grain-producing state with an annual grain output and a former guard in Juchen Kingdom!

When Fu Wenrui knew that Zhang Wuzhou was fenced, he didn't worry too much, because the grain in Zhangwu Prefecture was very rich, and it didn't matter if he was trapped for three or five years. The only thing to worry about is to let Huang Fulai know that Zhang Wuzhou is short of gunpowder!

After Huang Fulai trapped Zhang Wuzhou, he united with other old subordinates around Li Inchuan before, and after only seven or eight days of hard work, they all rebelled!

Although Zhangwuju is the only area in the northwest region of Chenguo that is not controlled by Li Incheon! But because Zhangwuzhou is located on the northwestern border of Chenguo, the passage connecting with the capital has been controlled by Li Inchuan!

Although Fu Wenrui was not in a hurry at the beginning, he learned that there were more and more rebellions and defections in the northwest region of Chenguo. But he can't worry about Long Xingche, and he is anxious every day!

"Commander, what are we going to do now?" Fu Wenrui's lieutenant Xie Rendong looked at the sores on Fu Wenrui's mouth, very helpless!

Fu Wenrui pounded the table and said hatefully: "Now, our Zhangwuzhou soldiers are strong and strong, with nearly 100,000 troops. But right now, what we lack the most is gunpowder. If someone can make gunpowder in our Zhangwu Prefecture, I can assist the emperor in the rear and eliminate Huang Fulai and a group of traitors! ”

"The minister has arranged for our people who know gunpowder in Zhangwu Zhou to start stepping up the development of gunpowder, but they are originally masters who mainly make firecrackers, and the lethality of the gunpowder they make is really ...... Ay! Xie Rendong sighed when he hated iron and iron!

Because, he saw with his own eyes that the gunpowder developed by those firecracker masters could even release fireworks, how could it not be infuriating and ridiculous!

Compared with Zhang Wuzhou's side, Fu Wenrui was helpless, Guo Hengming and Gao Guoxian brought hundreds of red-clothed cannons, as well as abundant gunpowder, according to Long Xingche's orders, they blasted out a lot of land that was invaded by Li Renchuan in Yuming Prefecture all the way.

But Li Incheon's power has spread, including Shengzhou, where Fu Wenjing and Li Xiuwen went together to contain the plague, were all controlled by Li Incheon!

The governor of Shengzhou, that is, Dai Tianshun, who once had the courage to go to the capital to sue the emperor, has long been controlled by Lu Caiwen, a close confidant of Li Inchuan who was hiding beside him!

Lu Caiwen also imitated Dai Tianshun's notes and posted notices of surrender to Li Incheon all over Zhengzhou.

The people of Shengzhou originally lived a peaceful and comfortable life under Dai Tianshun's rule, and they didn't understand why Dai Tianshun didn't make any resistance, and suddenly became a "coward" who surrendered to Li Inchuan.

Dai Tianshun, who used to be high-spirited and swore in front of them, wanting to take them to live a better life together, what is going on now!

The day after the "fake Dai Tianshun" posted a notice to surrender to Li Incheon, Li Incheon's soldiers and horses were stationed in Shengzhou, and the officers and soldiers robbed the people's money everywhere!

Although Long Yunche gave Li Renchuan a lot of silver taels at the beginning, those officers and soldiers did not have much silver taels in their hands, and when they saw that the common people had property at home, they couldn't help but want to rob it!

Shengzhou, which was originally peaceful and comfortable, is now also riddled with holes, and the streets are empty day and night.

Ordinary people close their doors and windows every day and do not dare to go out into the streets, but there are still some rebels who rush to people's homes to grab things, and even kill many "uncooperative" people.

Dai Tianshun, who was under house arrest, knew the current situation in Zhengzhou, and thought that the people he wanted to protect had become what they are now, and he wanted to commit suicide several times in shame, but he was stopped by Lu Caiwen!
