Chapter 688: The situation in the south has been turned upside down

Whether it is the Jinning Army or Pingyang Mansion, wherever Yang Jing passes, he can always fight quickly, which depends on their surprise, but also on the fierceness of the Vikings and the Mamluk mercenary group.

Their tactical systems were completely different, and the defenders were unable to defend themselves, let alone find a way to deal with them in time.

After Yang Jing succeeded, there was no need to restrain the sergeants, because both the Vikings and the Mamluk mercenaries were already dead set on Yang Jing.

Everywhere he passed, Yang Jing only disarmed, did not kill prisoners, did not harass the people, did not commit any crimes with civilians, and also opened the official warehouse to relieve the people, many people naturally wanted to join Yang Jing's team.

If Yang Jing was willing to take them in, starting from the Jinning Army, passing through Fenzhou and Pingyang Mansion, etc., he would be able to recruit tens of thousands of people with lofty ideals at least in the seventeen or eighteen garrisons and large and small county towns on the way.

But Yang Jing knew that the reason why he was able to break through was that he had an advantage in the speed of the march, that is, he traveled lightly, and he relied on the bravery of the Mamluk mercenary group and the Vikings.

If these people are taken in, the team will be strengthened, but problems will also follow accordingly, after all, he is not the material to lead the troops to fight, and he is not very good at military management.

If there are tens of thousands of rebels who have never fought before, it will be a nightmare for Yang Jing, not to mention greatly slowing down the speed of the march, and the internal contradictions and problems will completely defeat this scattered team.

The Mamluk mercenary group and the Vikings have their own organizational discipline, and they don't need Yang Jing to interfere too much at all, they only need to issue military orders, and they can get 200% of the implementation strength.

But if tens of thousands of righteous troops are dragged, Yang Jing will not be able to cope with it.

All the way down from the north, Yang Jing and others were more like horse thieves and bandits, coming and going like the wind, looting everything, and doing a hammer deal, so that the Mongols were confused.

By the time they received the news from the Northern Imperial Court, Yang Jing and the others had already run away.

Yang Jing's self-knowledge is also his wisest place, and it is precisely because of this that they finally came to the boundary of Henan Mansion in just ten days!

After arriving at Henan Mansion, Lin Jue and the other secret inspectors and scouts returned to the sea like fish, spreading out in all directions, and soon connected with the scouts in the south.

Zong Yun is also a man of his word, he said that he was going to attack Henan Mansion, so he really attacked Henan Mansion!

At this time, Zong Yun's righteous army had grown to seventy or eighty thousand people, the Tired Victory Army and the Taiyi Army, the Shenxing Flying Fu Battalion, etc., together with the Black Fox Army, the Red Banner Army, and the Red Jacket Army, all had their own establishments!

Yu Cheng, Liu Hanchao, Zheng Gongyu and others, in the continuous battle, have also grown rapidly and become indispensable generals!

Zong Yun is the same as Yang Jing, he is also a temper that would rather be lacking than excessive, just like subduing the tired army, for those who take the initiative to join the righteous army, Zong Yun is cautious and cautious, screening layer by layer, but those mountain kings who are unwilling to join the righteous army, Zong Yun is going to fight them down one by one and incorporate them into the team!

He doesn't want a bunch of outcasts, he wants a fightable army that can fight if he joins!

Adhering to this principle, Zheng Gongyu and Liu Hanchao and others are also constantly expanding their own battalions, which are still Zong Yun's standards, and the people they have incorporated are responsible for managing and feeding, and once there is chaos, the entire battalion will be exterminated!

Under such strict military discipline, whether it is the Taiyi Army or the Tired Army, the recruiting sergeants are very cautious, but there have also been a lot of chaos, and the result is that Zong Yun gave an order, and the battalion that had problems was really destroyed!

With this kind of experience, the selection of sergeants will be more strict, and the overall quality of this rebel army can be imagined!

In just over a year, Zong Yun's righteous army went all the way north from Yingzhou, Caizhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Naixuzhou and Xuzhou, to Defu, Tangzhou and other places, which can be described as invincible, this kind of speed can be called unique!

The Southern Song Dynasty court was shocked and frightened, and sent ministers to negotiate Zhao'an in three days, and even formed a resident angel group by eunuchs, staying in Zong Yun's righteous army, waiting for Zong Yun's reply at any time, and constantly passing on the sincerity of the imperial court!

The reason why the imperial court is like this is not cowardice, Li Tingzhi's An Fengjun and other Southern Song Dynasty border troops, following Zong Yun's righteous army to eat leftovers, forced to take down the Lianghuai region, even if it is a cold scrap, it is also a great military achievement, since Emperor Gaozong, the Southern Song Dynasty army has not had such achievements!

Battalions and regiments such as the Tired Victory Army and the Taiyi Army are famous all over the world, and the Red Jacket Army and the Red Banner Army, the Black Fox Army and other battalions are also famous.

But everyone was a little surprised, that was Zong Yun's entire rebel army, which had no name, and when it came to this rebel army, whether it was an insider or an outsider, it was only called the Pisces Mountain Sect.

Many martial arts people have taken refuge, and they are all screened by Zong Yun, and the appeal of Luo Daoning and Ganlu Shitai has also shown results, with Wudang as the leader, the beggar gang and other martial arts gangs have also responded and joined the ranks of the rebels.

It is precisely because of the addition of almost half of the martial arts forces that the rebel army was able to achieve such brilliant results!

These martial arts masters may have some difficulty in the coordination of battle formations, or on the frontal battlefield, it is better to only know three or five military sword techniques, but well-trained professional soldiers.

But these martial arts forces penetrate the north and south of the river, and they are Zong Yun's intelligence network!

They can provide military information, can act as internal responses, can provide reserve funding, and many wealthy and wealthy gentry in the private sector are also willing to support Zongyun's rebel army.

After Zong Yun recovered the lost territory, he handed over the local management rights, and there were local Han people to govern themselves, but he brought in a large number of merchants who had given financial support to the rebel army, and let them give advice and lead the post-war reconstruction of the place.

With these giant businessmen in charge of the overall situation, people's livelihood and the economy will soon be able to improve, and the situation will soon be stabilized.

In the process of reconstruction, these wealthy merchants stimulated consumption, increased the economy, and gained an astonishing wealth and power themselves, which in turn increased their support for the rebels.

This kind of cycle is very simple and rude, after the recovery of the Zong Yun Righteous Army, there is no lifelessness, there is no mourning, and even the pacification of the people This kind of thing is controlled by martial arts people and businessmen, and they will soon be able to recover their vitality and show their vitality.

Of course, this kind of autonomy will also bring great hidden dangers, because huge benefits will breed greed and evil, and many people will gradually develop bad intentions, and the recovered places will also be chaotic.

However, as a civilian rebel army, it is not easy to achieve such results without the management of officials who are familiar with government affairs.

Zong Yun also knew that he only cared about one tendon and rushed forward, which would bring a lot of problems, after all, the foundation was unstable, but he didn't want those corrupt officials in the court to extinguish the blood of the people, even if he wanted to destroy it, he could only destroy it in his own hands, otherwise he would have accepted the court's recruitment.

But he also knew that being too rigid and easy to break and blindly being strong would make the court unable to see the hope of recruiting An, and the court would only encircle and suppress the righteous army and stab him in the back, so he let An Fengjun and other trustworthy and energetic border troops follow behind to eat some benefits, so that the court can see that he has no intention of rebelling.

The Song Dynasty was actually a very strange dynasty, whether it was from the official system, the economy, the military, people's livelihood, etc., it was very strange in all aspects.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, they united with the Jurchens and wanted to destroy the Liao State, and after the Jurchens became strong, they saw that they were going to destroy the Liao State, and they united with the Liao State to deal with the Jurchens, but the Jurchens destroyed the Liao State and turned their heads to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty.

And in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State was too strong, and the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to unite with Mongolia and destroy the Jin State, and after the Jin State was about to be destroyed by the Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to save the Jin State and let the Jin State continue to cross between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia as a shield.

As a result, the Jin State really couldn't hold it anymore, and they finally united with Mongolia again to destroy the Jin State, and after destroying the Jin State, they also wanted to take the opportunity to recover the lost territory, but they failed again.

The Song Dynasty didn't seem to have much ambition, and it did seem to give people a feeling of "people are stupid and money comes quickly", and the military has always been criticized.

But in fact, this is not the case, that is, the Southern Song Dynasty is a corner of peace, and it has also continued the century-old national ancestry, and there has been a situation of a small prosperous era, if you talk about the development of the economy and the management of people's livelihood, there is no country and race in the world that can be compared with the Han people.

Even militarily, didn't there have been many great victories in the Northern Expedition? After the disgrace of Jingkang, weren't there also the four generals of Zhongxing, and there were also the Yuejia army that terrified the enemy?

It can also be seen from these cases that the Southern Song Dynasty was a court of death, so Zong Yun had no doubt that the court would stab the righteous army in the back.

Yang Jing was alone in the north and created civil strife in the Mongol Khanate, which was to create an opportunity for Zong Yun's rebel army, in order to delay time for the rebel army, so that the Mongol army could not go south.

But this opportunity, the short-term calm that Yang Jing got in exchange, was also an opportunity for the Southern Song Dynasty, because the Mongols were quiet, they could clean up Zongyun's rebel army!

This kind of death-defying act is definitely something that the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court can do, Zong Yun has no doubt about this, and even mentioned that Yang Jing has reminded him three or four times.

Therefore, in order to prevent the imperial court from dying and encircling and suppressing the righteous army from behind, Zong Yun also generously handed over the territory in the rear to Li Tingzhi and other trustworthy candidates, that is, the remaining echelons entrenched in Sichuan, have also come out of Shu, and are now plotting against Junzhou, Jinzhou, Jingzhao Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion!

Judging from the current situation, the situation on the side of the Southern Song Dynasty is very good, and it already has the qualifications and strength to recover Bianjing Kaifeng!

And anyone who has some patterns, whether it is a courtier in the opposition or a person with lofty ideals in the people, anyone can see that although Zong Yun did not accept Zhao'an, the righteous army was serving as a pawn, a pioneer, and a blade to open the way for the Southern Song Dynasty!

The rebel army opened up territory on the front line, and the Southern Song Dynasty court picked up cheap behind, if the court still wanted to stab the knife from the back at this time, it would really make everyone in the world disheartened.

It's just that everyone hasn't forgotten how Grandpa Yue Fei, who has a high level of achievement, died, and if Zong Yun continues to grow, I'm afraid that the imperial court will really encircle and suppress the righteous army!

Zong Yun naturally thought about these things, and he thought about them every night, but he didn't care about it.

This court is a person who is still alive, knowing that he is sick but avoiding medical treatment, there must be someone to stir up this pool of stagnant water, and someone must give this court that still does not want to wake up, a slap in the face!

Seeing that he was about to launch an attack on Henan Mansion, Zong Yun's heart was also surging, as long as he won Henan Mansion, he would be able to encircle Kaifeng and complete the great feat that Yue Fei's grandfather had not been able to complete!

However, Henan Mansion is the wings of Kaifeng, the Mongolian army is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to capture.

Fortunately, at this time, Zong Yun also received news about Yang Jing!

Everyone knows about the Pisces Mountain Sect, and everyone is working for the Pisces Mountain Sect, but everyone is not a disciple of the Pisces Mountain Sect, until this moment, there are still only two people in the Pisces Mountain Sect, a sect master and a deputy sect master.

The sect master is leading the rebel army, preparing to attack Henan Mansion, and the deputy sect master is finally coming back!
