Chapter 53: White Lotus rebelled

Fan Zhuoyuan opened his mouth slightly, let his tongue touch the air, and tasted a taste of eagerness.

This kind of taste cannot be expressed in words, but as long as people's emotions change, then the taste presented is absolutely different, which is Fan Zhuoyuan's realization since he cultivated the Eight Senses of Bliss.

"Protector Liang, why are you in such a hurry?"

Liang Tianyi gasped and said, "My subordinates have just returned from Ying Tianfu! Something is wrong! The White Lotus Sect has rebelled in Nanchang Prefecture, and even the prefectures of Chuzhou, Jinhua, and Shaoxing in Zhejiang have also rebelled. Claim to be 500,000! Master, what you expected at the time has come true!"

Fan Zhuoyuan was silent for a moment, and sure enough, he heard the task release from the system.

"This quest has a hidden branch, which can dig deep into the secrets of this world, please ask if you want to unlock it."

Fan Zhuoyuan's heart jumped, this task was very special, and he had never seen it before.

In Fan Zhuoyuan's view, the level of force in this world is not high, unless the group of people resurrected more than twenty years ago, he can push sideways in the martial arts by himself.

If he had to complete the tasks assigned by the system to gain proficiency, Fan Zhuoyuan would not have much interest in entanglement in this level of martial arts.

"Unlock Branch Quests."

As soon as the system lights up, the task description officially appears.

"The main quest is to quell the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and the Smelling Fragrance Sect, merge the three sects, and revive the Demon Sect.

Reward: After unlocking the first stage of Brain Domain Cultivation, open the four major horizontal refining advanced exercises, and surpass the power of mortal limits."

Fan Zhuoyuan was in a trance, but he heard Liang Tianyi shouting to himself in his ear, and he quickly came back to his senses.

"I just thought about the White Lotus Sect, what else is going on?"

Liang Tianyi glanced at Fan Zhuoyuan in surprise and said, "Sect Master, there is still something to tell.

Although the White Lotus Sect had an uprising, although there were hundreds of thousands of people, the core personnel were the guards of the imperial court, which were raised by them in the Jiangnan region and could fight against the Japanese invaders.

It is rumored that the person who trained the army had served as an officer in the Zhejiang army in the past, and went north with Qi Shuai to guard the frontier.

It is already an elite in the entire south, relying on them, the current raid on the prefectures and counties is quite fierce, and the imperial court defenders are retreating one after another, and they are now heading towards Ying Tianfu!"

Fan Zhuoyuan remembered the uprising in Fangla in the last world, because he did not take Yingtianfu as soon as possible and defend the Yangtze River, so he was exterminated by the imperial court in less than a year.

It seems that the White Lotus Sect is not a straw bag that does not know the soldiers, at least he understands that in order to stabilize the foundation, he must take down the Yangtze River Heavenly Insurance.

If your subordinates are all well-fed guards, it is also worth being wary of.

The 3,500 elite soldiers who have been trained by themselves have only been trained for less than half a year, and they have not yet fully formed their combat effectiveness, so it seems that they can only be reluctantly pulled out to train in actual combat.

"How's the situation in Jinling? The White Lotus Sect is also quite influential there, do you think the White Lotus Sect will be able to conquer it in one fell swoop?"

Liang Tianyi smiled bitterly and said, "My subordinates just don't know if those officials and nobles who have various relationships with the White Lotus Sect will betray Jinling at this time."

Fan Zhuoyuan frowned slightly, "The situation is different, the purpose of the bureaucrats and nobles to believe in the White Lotus Sect is not the same as that of the people at the bottom.

The people at the bottom are seeking to form associations and protect themselves and find a place of refuge, while the bureaucrats and nobles are more profit-oriented.

The White Lotus Sect's riots, according to their composition, would inevitably not be polite to the bureaucrats, and the two were naturally hostile in class, which was not affected by the open and honest will of the White Lotus Sect's leader.

Therefore, I am sure that there will be no problems with the upper-level bureaucrats in Jinling City, and the most likely problems are those officials at the bottom, as well as Ying

Officers and soldiers of the guard near Tianfu."

Fan Zhuoyuan thought about the situation in Jinling for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Jinling will not surrender so easily, but it depends on how much strength the White Lotus Sect uses to attack.

As far as the defenders of Jinling are concerned, they cannot stop the siege of 100,000 horses. If they take Jinling, after all, block the canal, and then go up the canal, then we Yangzhou will bear the brunt of the attack!"

Liang Tianyi panicked, "Do we Maitreya also want to mobilize the people to rise up against it? What will the court do?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said with a smile, "The imperial court will definitely send troops, but it will take time to mobilize the border army from the north to the south, and it will take at least three months to gather enough troops and horses.

It's hard to say what will happen in these three months, we can't sit back and wait, we can take the initiative!"

"Huh? Sect Master, can our 3,500 recruits beat it?"

Fan Zhuoyuan sneered, "The White Lotus Sect has an uprising, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, most of whom are just bankrupt farmers.

We can avoid the elite, pick the weak to fight, and train the troops with battle, in short, it is more important than anything else to take the initiative at this time.

I will personally command the troops, and you and Hall Master Dong will do a good job of intelligence work, and find out the movements of the White Lotus Sect for me.

I believe that the government will find me soon, after all, the head of this sect still has an official position of Yangzhou Bei Wei general on his head, and now that the White Lotus Sect is about to threaten Cao Yun, it is impossible for the local government not to jump to his feet."

In the end, Liang Tianyi asked, "Sect Master, there is still a word for your subordinates, will you command the troops?"

Fan Zhuoyuan "looked" at the other party and didn't speak until he saw Liang Tianyi panic.

Liang Tianyi hurriedly said, "My subordinates are busy...... If there is any news, I will let you know as soon as possible!"

Fan Zhuoyuan nodded slightly and touched his eyes.

Although Liang Tianyi's question made him dissatisfied, it also reminded Fan Zhuoyuan of a more realistic situation.

In any case, it is indeed difficult to command a battle if you are blind, and the enemy troops on the battlefield are often hundreds of steps or even more than ten miles away from your own side, and you still need to use a clairvoyant mirror to observe the enemy's situation.

And Fan Zhuoyuan is blind, and he can't observe the enemy situation at all.

Even if the Eight Senses of Bliss Theory were supernatural, it would not be possible for his senses of taste, hearing, and perception to perceive situations that were miles or tens of miles away.

Moreover, if you lead the army in such a way, even if all the soldiers are faithful believers in Maitreya, you will inevitably have doubts when you go to the battlefield.

So Fan Zhuoyuan thought about it for a while, and thought of the few officers in charge of training the troops of the three thousand five hundred recruits now.

There were four men in total, one for pikemen, one for sword and shield men, one for musketeers, and one for artillerymen.

They are also veterans of the former Zhejiang soldiers, since Qi Shuai was dismissed, they each quit the army and returned to their hometowns, so they were hired by Fan Zhuoyuan with a high salary to serve as the training soldiers of the capital division.

In the past, I came into contact with these four people, and I heard them talk about Qi Shuai's desolation in his later years, and I couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that after Qi Shuai returned to his hometown, he was hit by the death of his brother and the death of his young son, and then his wife Wang was fierce and took away all the family property and left home, and finally Qi Shuai died of poverty and illness at home alone.

Fan Zhuoyuan planned to use these four people as his eyes and ears and lead the troops to fight.
