"Nonsense!"

"Jiang Chen, even if you want to carry forward the Confucianism, you don't need to slander us Confucianism like this, right? Don't you think it's too villainous?" Meng Xu shouted angrily.

"That is, my Confucianism is the way of a sage, how can you slander casually?"

Several Confucian officials of Fang Lajun glared at Jiang Chen at the same time.

"Okay, your so-called sage Confucius, no one is willing to use it after begging officials all his life, and he can't even afford to raise his wife and children, so he is a fart saint!

The essence of Confucianism is a kind of science that calculates and exploits the people, and everyone knows it! And the people and the soldiers have rods and scales in their hearts."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he looked at Fang La and said, "When you reused and promoted Confucian officials, when you were bent on checking and balancing the authority of the generals who were guarding against the army, you had already lost the hearts of the people and the army;

Coupled with the fact that the displaced people in Jiangnan have either obtained land or emigrated overseas, you have lost the supply of soldiers, and the outcome of this battle has long been doomed.

Accept the recruitment, give your soldiers a way out, and don't add more innocent casualties!"

"Humph!"

"Jiang Chen, don't be complacent too early! It's too early to say who will win and who will lose!"

"Speed up my march!"

Fang La's face turned blue with anger, and after giving the order, he should first beat his horse and march to the front of the team.

Seeing this, Cao Sheng couldn't help but lean in front of Jiang Chen's carriage and said, "Liangchen, let's rush up directly, right?" Otherwise, when Fang La retreats to Muzhou and defends according to the mountain, we will lose a great opportunity.

I'm confident that a single charge can take his dog's head! Order!"

Cao Sheng, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, looked at Jiang Chen with blank eyes.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Pang Wanchun and Li Tianyan have not shown up, there must be an ambush, and they will attack rashly, which will cause unnecessary casualties, let's follow the plan and recruit as many soldiers as possible first."

When he has no soldiers available, you have a chance to make meritorious contributions!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen glanced at the people from the Limen Propaganda Department.

Immediately, countless loudspeakers sounded again: "Brothers of Fang Lajun, what was the purpose of your uprising in the first place? Don't you just want to kill Zhu Mian and live a good life?"

"Now Lord Jinglu has killed Zhu Mian's group of thieves! And I will give you land and food, isn't that the life you want?"

"Now that everyone can live a good life, is it necessary for you to continue to rebel?"

"Look at your broken straw sandals and thin clothes, and look at the mink horses of the Confucian officials, what are you drawing? Do they really treat you as human beings? Even if the rebellion succeeds, what will you gain?" Chinese Net

Hmm-

"That makes sense!"

When the soldiers of Fang Lajun heard this, their eyes changed in unison.

More and more people slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.

When Fang La retreated into Muzhou, the army was directly reduced by nearly one-third, and Fang La was so angry that he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

National Teacher Deng Yuanjue and the others roared and asked, "How can this be? Why is this happening? Have you forgotten the oath you took at the time of the uprising? Why do you want to betray me for a piece of clothing and land?"

"Ahh

Deng Yuanjue sighed bitterly and said, "After Jiang Chen killed Zhu Mian and divided the grain and land, the people's hearts were in him and not in me. Now that the army has no morale and the supply of troops has been cut off, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future, and the Holy Father must be mentally prepared!"

"Jiang Chen's plan is clearly to attack the heart, and he plans to eat us away little by little!"

Wang Yin's face was full of worry.

"Is there no way to deal with it?"

Fang La asked without giving up.

Deng Yuanjue shook his head: "Jiang Chen implemented the policy of exterminating Confucianism in the south of the Yangtze River, and obtained endless silver money and land.

It's just a verbal promise!

When there were victories before, there was nothing, but now under the continuous setbacks, the soldiers are afraid that they have been

If you lose faith, more and more people will run away in the future!"

"Isn't that a defeat for me?"

Fang La's body staggered and sat directly on the chair.

Meng Xu smiled and said, "Holy Father, you don't have to worry!

Muzhou and Shezhou rely on the Yellow Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are traps everywhere, as long as we find a way to bring Jiang Chen into it, there may not be no chance of turning defeat into victory."

After a pause, he continued, "As for those who are bent on betrayal, they should be killed at once and forcibly conscripted within the two states. Otherwise, we'll really run out of soldiers!"

"Yes! What Meng Shilang said is very true!"

"You'll be solely responsible for this!"

Fang La looked at Meng Xu expectantly.

"Thank you, Holy Father! Obey!"

Meng Xu smiled with joy on his face.

Deng Yuanjue and the others frowned, feeling that with the urine nature of Confucian disciples, it would definitely cause public resentment, but it was difficult to dissuade them without better countermeasures, so they could only shake their heads helplessly.

But they didn't know that Jiang Chen had no idea of going into the mountains to attack at all.

While besieging Fang La and others in the Yellow Mountain with Gao Yu, he ordered Zong Ze, Cao Sheng and Zhou Dong to divide into three routes to attack Tiantai, Dongyang and Lanxi respectively.

Under the will of the people, coupled with the help of Wu Song and other internal responses, the attack was surprisingly smooth, and by the beginning of March, almost all the Fang La troops on Fujian Road and Guangdong Road were cleaned up, except for a small number of people such as Lu Shisang and Huo Chengfu who hid in the mountains, and the rest were either recruited or beheaded.

When Song Huizong learned about it, he was very happy, not only gave Cao Sheng and others a knighthood, but also gave Jiang Chen the honorary title of a bachelor of science.

Jiang Chen did not live up to this title, and in the name of the Confucian people who funded the rebellion of Fang La, he immigrated all the Confucian people in the entire area south of the Yangtze River to Luzon Island, so that they could also experience the happiness of ordinary people farming.

At this point, by the time of spring planting, the whole south has become the world of science.

Not only are there free schools of science and technology, but even ordinary farmers can read the Jimin Bao written in vernacular through pinyin.

This made Kong Duanyou and Confucian diehards panic.

"If everyone is accustomed to vernacular Chinese and simplified characters, who will study the sage knowledge of my Confucian family with all their hearts? Who will continue to honor the words of the sages of my Confucian family?"

Kong Duanyou was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and while mobilizing the Confucian people to put pressure on Song Huizong, he asked the Confucian people to support the northern bandits and the rebellious people to rebel.

Song Huizong was extremely annoyed by this, but first, there was no empirical evidence, and second, it was not a chance to completely destroy Confucianism, so he could only grit his teeth and resist the urge to kill Kong Duanyou.

As for Jiang Chen, he didn't care about the affairs of the north at all.

While making people step up the production of steam boats, they took Zhao Jinluo, Zhao Fujin, and Ju Huan to travel around. When you are tired of playing, you will take people outside the Fangla Walled City to have a bonfire party and recruit some new people or something.
