Chapter 103: The Storm is Coming

At the end of July, through the canal, all the ordnance transferred by Jia Hui was also put into storage.

The 10,000 people involved in the private work were not fools, and they almost knew it when all the generals of the various ministries were deposed and put in prison cars to be transported to Luoyang, and fell into panic.

Fortunately, the embroidered clothes communicated with them in time, and they were only expelled from the barracks, which barely appeased the 10,000 regular soldiers who were on the verge of mutiny.

The Jiangnan camp was also officially completed.

Based on the existing equipment, Jia Hui formed a new firearms battalion with 1,000 musketeers, 500 artillery of various types, and 1,000 auxiliaries.

Originally, the old-fashioned assault guns of the Jiangnan battalion were almost rusted, and the remaining ones that were intact to fill the scene were now heard, and they were all eliminated.

In the future counterinsurgency, the firearms battalion will become Jia Hui's headquarters together with the three directly subordinate thousand households.

According to the information of the Xue family, there are abnormal and frequent large-scale grain transactions in Hangzhou, which has caused the price of rice near Hangzhou to rise slightly, and the whereabouts of this batch of grain cannot be found at all.

Jia Hui thinks that the base camp of the White Lotus Sect is probably near Hangzhou, not only in Hangzhou, but also in Shaoxing? Zhuji? Or further afield?

However, Jia Hui felt that the probability of being in the southwest mountains of Hangzhou was higher.

As a result, the number of intelligence personnel in the entire Hangzhou area has increased greatly, and now not only the Xue family, but also the secret agents of Xiuyi and Dongchang have also been mobilized by Jia Hui in the name of Qincha to search the mountains and seas.

There is no way, Du Yi, the embroidered guard Xiaoqi who broke into the White Lotus Sect, has no news now, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Jia Hui is a slightly strong person, and he doesn't like to be passive.

So let's turn the passive into the active and force the White Lotus Sect to rebel!

Everything is ready, only the White Lotus Sect is owed to rebel.

。。。。。。

"Master, we can't wait any longer! Wait any longer, our main altar will be found by those eagle talon grandsons! ”

Deep in the mountains

A bearded man is petitioning a middle-aged man with a short beard.

"Yes, Sect Master, we can't hide the matter of buying food! The price of rice in Hangzhou is rising, and the imperial court will definitely send someone to investigate, think about it, which one is good for embroidery, Dongchang, Xue's family and even the army's night non-collection? No matter how much you clean up your whereabouts when you carry food, you will leave some traces, so general, give the order! ”

"Sect Master, give the order!"

"Master."

"Master!"

The White Lotus Sect was not a fool, and soon after Shi and Bai's two shopkeepers suddenly disappeared, the White Lotus Sect knew that the imperial court had discovered them.

The high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect felt that because of the rebellion in the early years of the founding of the country, coupled with the glorious deeds of the predecessor Manichaeism, their White Lotus Sect must be a proper anti-thief in the eyes of the imperial court, and the focus is on guarding! Once discovered, it will definitely concentrate all efforts to exterminate them, just as the imperial court abandoned the Northern Expedition decades ago and directly transferred the Northern Expedition army to exterminate them with all its might.

Specially send the most elite troops to exterminate them, well, at least that's what they think.

Therefore, in the eyes of the top leaders of the White Lotus Sect, it was only a matter of time before the secret agents of the imperial court discovered their whereabouts, and sure enough, the spies who embroidered clothes were already close to the range of fifty miles of the main altar, and at the latest, the spies would find this place in seven days at the latest.

This is still a blessing for dragging the general altar in the mountains, and it is not easy to enter.

However, the bad thing is here, due to the road conditions, seven days is not enough time to transfer the materials, even if the materials are transferred, it is impossible to pull them all out in one trip. And once the convoy leaves the pass, what difference does it make to shout "We have a problem" in the ears of the spies?

What's more, their own possessions are hidden here!

"Silence!"

The short-bearded man in white frowned, and it could be seen that he was also very entangled now.

There is still a big gap in the material reserves of the White Lotus Sect, especially the weapons, and there are more than enough people to prepare the main altar, but this is not enough.

The White Lotus Sect's plan was to mobilize the slaves from all over the country to attack at the same time, and after killing all the families in the small city, they would quickly capture the city.

Those in the countryside brought together the materials of the main family to form a large army to attack those big cities such as Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Jinling.

first control the south of the Yangtze River, then rely on the Yangtze River to defend against the imperial army, and then quickly attack the city to the west and south, and occupy the entire southern country. Then, with the strength of the entire southern country, it formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south with the Qi dynasty in the north. Accumulate strength again, rely on the Grand Canal to the north to attack Linzi and Beiping, and occupy the entire North China Plain.

If it fails to go north to Beiping, then enter the Guanzhong from Shudi, seize the entire Guanxi land, and then cross the Yellow River from Longmen to Jin. In this way, the Qi Dynasty will only be left in the middle of the Zhili.

Finally, march west along the Yellow River to destroy Qi!

A plan to make the entire White Lotus Sect's high-level skull orgasm, but for Du Yi, who participated in the meeting as the head of the White Lotus Sect's Sword Technique, this plan was so embarrassing that he almost cut out a three-room living room with his feet.

Let's not talk about whether we can successfully rely on Jiangnan to capture the entire southern country, let's first say that Jia Hui, the great general of Sima who is now entrenched in Jinling City and has destroyed the two countries in a row, should deal with it?

I'm afraid that if you can't even capture Jiangnan, you will start a business before you start a business and the middle way will collapse, right?

Well, even if the general is successfully defeated and occupied Jiangnan, the former Jiangbei camp in the north, how can the current Cao soldiers and the Jiangnan Beiwei Army stationed in Ningbo and the East China Sea Division in Zhoushan get along?

Not to mention the inland water divisions stationed at Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake!

There are no sailors, and they still want to rely on the Yangtze River defense line to defend the south?

Dream!

His inner thoughts were tumbling, but on the surface, he still had to make the appearance of the most staunch support for the uprising, and shouted with his colleagues around him, "No mother, vacuum hometown." ”

But because of this, Du Yi was also relieved. With the strategic level and military level of the White Lotus Sect, the rivers and lakes can be called the number one force in the rivers and lakes.

But once they go to the open and fight head-on with the Great Qi Heavenly Army, it is not like a joke for the general to fight them?

Forget it, what the hell are you doing here? It's better to climb up with peace of mind, and it's best to become a cronie of the sect leader is the most important thing.

"We can't wait any longer, waiting any longer will only increase the variables, this seat has decided that if an uprising is launched in three days, you must notify all the believers as soon as possible and dismiss the meeting!"

"Wait! Master, what about the weapons of the servants and brothers of each family? ”

"The situation is urgent, I really can't take care of so much, let them find a way to find their own weapons, kitchen knives, sticks, and knives and guns in the courtyard, can't they? Alright, go tell them to go! ”

With that, the leader left the cave where the meeting was taking place and walked towards his residence.

The high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect are also helpless, so they can only let the slaves find their own way to get weapons, all in order to create an earthly kingdom of gods where everyone can enjoy bliss, presumably the slaves can also understand this, right?

Du Yi also walked out of the cave with the crowd and walked towards his station.

The spies who had mixed in with him before were all strong men, so they were selected to enter the White Lotus Sect's headquarters in the main altar to be trained to become the descendants of the White Lotus Sect, and they hadn't gone out of the valley once for more than a month, let alone pass on information!

Now, I have found an opportunity to go out of the mountain!

Soon, a spy who was selected into the horse army because he could ride a horse and drive a car received an order to inform the rudder of Shaoxing, and after holding back for a month, he finally rode out of the valley and ran towards Shaoxing.

It's just that in addition to the letter to the rudder order, there is also a secret letter in his arms that Du Yi asked him to take to the Shaoxing Hundred Households of the Embroidered Clothes Guard.

。。。。。。

"The Grand Duke, the Grand Duke! Letters, letters! ”

Zijinwei stationed, Tan Ji held a note high and ran into Jia Hui's barracks.

Jia Hui, who was processing the paperwork, raised his head and looked at Tan Ji with an excited expression on his face.

"Which side? What letter? ”

"Metropolitan Governor, it's Du Yi's side, Du Yi, this kid has sent back the information of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Hah!"

Jia Hui also stood up as excitedly as Tan Ji, bypassed the case and came to Tan Ji's side, and took the note.

"The main altar is in the East Tianmu Mountain

In early August, there was a rebellion on the night of the night

The slave lord occupies the town

Occupy the countryside and attack the big city"

"Wonderful, wonderful! Go and inform Lin Chong in Huai'an, and ask him to issue a conscription order in the name of my Dunhuang County Duke and the Governor of the Left Army, indicating that Cao Bing and Cao Gong's children will cross the river to quell the rebellion!

Order the garrisons in all parts of the country to enter combat readiness, allow cross-jurisdictional joint suppression of rebellion, and if it is really impossible to fight, allow it to break away from the jurisdiction and assemble in Jinling.

Order the commanders of Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui to send troops to block the roads and mountain passes between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I want to trap the White Lotus Sect on the Great Plains!

Ordered the East China Sea Division to block the coastline during the counterinsurgency to prevent the White Lotus Sect high-ranking people from escaping across the sea. ”

Jia Hui paused and looked at Tan Ji.

"By the way, where is the Jiangnan Bei Japanese Army now?"

"Back to the Governor of Dadu, last month, the Holy Lord ordered the Jiangnan Bei Japanese Army to go south to Dayuan Island to suppress the prisoner rebellion, not in Ningbo."

"Not there? That's it.

All of the above orders will take effect on the night of the first day of August, and there will be only one and a half days left. By the way. Forget it, I'll go to Jinling myself. ”

。。。。。。

A drizzle made Jinling's already hot and dry weather even more sultry, and the whole Jiangnan was now in an inexplicable irritability.

Jia Hui is particularly manic, he is the most intolerant of stuffiness.

His barracks was full of pots of ice, and the soup woman was also full of broken ice slag, which Jia Hui wrapped a towel and kicked in his arms.

Today is the first day of August.

All the weapons and equipment were ready and placed in the barracks, and the distraught Jia Hui stood up, pulled out his waist knife and tapped the blade with his fingernails, for some reason, there was always an uneasiness in his heart.

Through the small map, he had already discovered the main altar of the White Lotus Sect hidden in the East Tianmu Mountain, and there was indeed a crowd gathering, a large area of white flowers, it seemed that this was the power of the White Lotus Sect itself.

But isn't it too little? Just these people for decades? Unbelievable.

Putting the waist knife back into the scabbard, Jia Hui forcibly endured the sweltering heat and lifted the curtain hanging on the barracks door.

The soldiers who caught their eye were busy.

He who repairs horseshoe, sharpens his knife, wipes his armor, prepares medicine for wounds.

The army is preparing to march south to quell the rebellion.

Seeing the orderly appearance of his descendants, Jia Hui felt a sense of peace of mind.

More than 2,000 cavalry riding the most elite cavalry in the world are on the side, the White Lotus Sect?

Native chicken tile dog.

"Metropolitan Governor, Du Yi urgently report!"

Unlike yesterday, today's Tan Ji was not excited, and his face turned out to be anxious, and Jia Hui's heart couldn't help but rise.

"Come in and talk about it!"

Jia Hui lifted the curtain and re-entered the barracks.

"Metropolitan Governor, something happened, Du Yi sent a message to say that the White Lotus Sect Master had left the main altar with some high-ranking people and didn't know where to go!"

Tan Ji said as he handed the secret letter in his hand to Jia Hui.

"Gone? No, what is more important to him at this time than staying with the descendants? ”

Jia Hui twisted his neck and looked at the secret letter in his hand, full of doubts in his heart.

"Grand Duke, there is a messenger waiting outside the door, tell him to come in and ask?"

"Nonsense."

Tan Ji hurriedly opened the curtain and shouted out, and a tanned young man entered the barracks.

As if shaken by the cool air in the house, the messenger stared blankly at the ice in the copper basin in the ground, and did not say a word.

"Ahem, Xiaohu, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you meet the Metropolitan Governor? ”

"Ah, yes! Humble to meet the Governor of Zuodu! ”

The messenger Xiaohu came back to his senses and fell to his knees.

Wait a minute? What did I just shout?

The atmosphere in the barracks suddenly became silent, and Tan Ji waited for the messenger kneeling on the ground with a sinister face.

Jia Hui nodded expressionlessly and didn't react, he was the Governor of Zuo, everyone called him the Governor of the Majority, that is the love of others, it is nothing if he doesn't call it, anyway, in the court, everyone calls him the Governor of Zuo, it's nothing.

Yes, nothing, nothing.

"Tell me about something."

Jia Hui said to the messenger in a serious tone.

"Yes, yes, yes! Enlighten the Governor! Yesterday afternoon, the leader of the White Lotus Sect disappeared after giving us a routine evening class, and at first we didn't think there was a problem, this sect leader was quite mysterious on weekdays, except for going out to teach people, he had been staying in the residence and not coming out, and he hadn't gone out once in the last half a month. But he was absent from morning class this morning.

There were also many high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect who disappeared together! Brother Du ran to ask the remaining high-level officials where they had gone, and the remaining high-level officials said that the sect leader had gone to join the big army! Only then did we know that the White Lotus Sect in Tianmu Mountain was actually only a small part!

Grand Governor, the White Lotus Sect also has an unknown number of soldiers and horses, but definitely more than 3,000 people in the Tianmu Mountain Division! ”

"What?"

Hearing this news, Tan Ji's brain seemed to be hit the head by the iron bones, his legs fell to the ground with weakness, staring at Xiaohu who was still kneeling on the ground in disbelief, and then looked at Jia Hui with a panicked face.

Hearing the news, Jia Hui was relieved.

Now that we know what makes him upset, there's nothing to fear.

Isn't it just that there is an army of unknown numbers, and with the time of rebellion decided by the White Lotus Sect, they will definitely not be able to run far. The vicinity of Jinling was densely populated, and it was impossible for them to hide too many troops, not to mention that even the Jiangnan soldiers of Daqi did not have many horses.

At the beginning of this year, it was too cold, and the rice was planted nearly half a month slower than in previous years, and it was more than half a month late to mature. Just right for cavalry galloping.

No one on this great plain could defeat the cavalry he led.

Jia Hui turned his head to look at the door curtain, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the door curtain to see the White Lotus Sect Master who had disappeared.

"Tan Ji, go and inform everyone and enter Jinling!"

The second update!
