Chapter 239: Fang Baihua Uprising

…

Bidding farewell to Jiang Hongfei, Fang Baihua led the First Infantry Army, the Seventh Army of Ma, and the Sixth Army of the Water under the banner of the Zhao and Song Forbidden Army, and went straight to Zhenjiang by water.

When they arrived in Zhenjiang, Fang Baihua and his entourage opened the pass with the procedures that Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian imitated for them, and then went up the Yangtze River and went straight to Jiangzhou.

- Wang Qing promised to give Jiangzhou to Jiang Hongfei, but in fact, the current Jiangzhou is still under the control of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and Jiang Hongfei wants Jiangzhou, so he must defeat Jiangzhou first.

To be honest, if Jiang Hongfei really came to help Fang La revolt, after the army sent by Jiang Hongfei arrived in Zhenjiang, the best thing to do was to take advantage of the situation to seize Zhenjiang, and then seize Jiangning Mansion with lightning speed, and then seize the important towns along the Yangtze River in turn, block the Yangtze River, and not give the Song army a chance to go south.

If Jiang Hongfei did this, the chances of the success of the Fang La uprising would at least triple.

However, the reason why Jiang Hongfei vigorously supported Fang La's uprising was not to put Fang La on the throne of the emperor, but to hope that Fang La would attract the most capable soldiers and horses of the Zhao and Song Dynasty to go south and pour out Shandong and Hebei to Jiang Hongfei.

It's really not that Jiang Hongfei looks down on Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the two of them definitely can't resist the most capable army of the Zhao Song Dynasty, only the Fang La Yi army, which has been persecuted by Zhao Jijun's ministers and brainwashed by Manichaeism, can barely hold back the people and horses that are ready to be used to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and can severely damage that force of men and horses.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hongfei vigorously supported the Fangla uprising.

Besides, Zhang Shun led the Sixth Army of the Water to carry the First Army of Infantry and the Seventh Army of Ma all the way through Chizhou without any danger and danger, and it was only a long way from Jiangzhou.

Fang Baihua held a pre-war meeting on the main ship.

Wu Yong, Lu Zhishen, Shi Bao, Zhang Shun, Shi Xiu, Xiao Rang, Dai Zong, and Ling Zhen attended the meeting, while Yang Chun, Ma Lin, Wang Dingliu and others were responsible for restraining the armies at this time.

At the meeting, Fang Baihua changed her weakness and shyness in front of Jiang Hongfei, but sat down with a marshal momentum and said:

"I'm young, and I'm a woman, no more than all of you uncles are heroes who have been famous for a long time, and they shouldn't all be in charge of you, but my family officials think it's good for me to be in charge of this capital, and he is wise and wise, and knows people well, so I will do it, and I hope that all uncles will work together to make a name for my family officials and my Shuibo Liangshan in the southeast, and complete the strategic goals set by my family officials."

Fang Baihua's performance made Wu Yong and the others nod secretly.

- Although Fang Baihua has not yet shown her ability to command troops or anything else, at least in terms of momentum, she is still very good.

Wu Yong and the others responded in unison: "No! ”

Fang Baihua directly called Shi Xiu's name without any delay: "Leader Shi Xiu, you come to tell you about Jiangzhou's information." ”

Shi Xiu came out of the queue in a regular manner, and said: "Jiangzhou prefect Cai Dezhang is an official who is greedy and arrogant, because this Jiangzhou is a place where money and food are huge, and there are many people and things, so Cai Jing specially taught him to come here to be a prefect, he has done little in office, and Jiangzhou has also been made by him to make a miasma. ”

Give Fang Baihua and the others some time to digest, Shi Xiucai continued: "The main defender here in Jiangzhou is the Nankang Army, its army is stationed along the coast, there are water and land villages, a total of more than 3,500 people, more than 80 large and small ships, my Jinyi Wei sent people to inquire and the hotel intelligence system collected are all this, this army has not fought for a hundred years, and it is just to intercept passing ships on weekdays, eat and take cards, and there is no combat power at all. ”

Shi Xiu added in detail: "The two closest Song armies to here in Jiangzhou are the Wuwei Army that we just passed by not long ago, and the Xingguo Army upstream. ”

Zhang Shun is a native of Jiangzhou, in his early years, he dominated the Xunyang River with his brother, and later went to Jiangzhou to work as a fisherman, he knows the environment here, especially the waters here.

Originally, Jiang Hongfei had the intention to transfer Li Jun back to fight Jiangzhou, and then sit in Jiangzhou.

But later, Zhang Shun took the initiative to ask for help, Jiang Hongfei felt that Zhang Shun was righteous, fine, and still a person from Jiangzhou, so he should be able to defeat Jiangzhou and hold Jiangzhou, so he agreed to let Zhang Shun lead the Sixth Army to fight Jiangzhou.

Zhang Shun took over the conversation and said: "The last generals of the three armies are all familiar with it, and it is indeed as good as the leader of Shi Xiu, whose combat power is inferior to that of an ordinary van army. ”

After a pause, Zhang Shun added: "However, the terrain here is long and narrow, and there are several dangerous places, which are really easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they have to be defended. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shun took out the map of Jiangzhou drawn by Xu Guanzhong, and then circled the places that needed to be paid attention to and taken the lead one by one.

Jiangzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers, so what Zhang Shun said, everyone is psychologically prepared.

Everyone discussed for a while, and seeing that no one had a very good attack method, Wu Yong said with a smile: "In view of the fact that the defenders here in Jiangzhou are not strong, less than training and warfare, I have a plan to knock the mountain and shake the tiger......

Under Wu Yong's proposition, the Liangshan army adopted a feint attack by land and used the naval army to directly capture the water village.

In this battle, Fang Baihua personally sat in charge, and Shi Bao, Lu Zhishen, and Zhang Shun served as commanders respectively.

The Liangshan Army used the Shenji Battalion led by Ling Zhen to control the red-coated artillery to feint.

Hearing the sound of artillery bombardment like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, seeing the fire meteors flying one after another, and seeing the Liangshan army boat division coming up from the river to attack, the defenders were frightened to abandon the city and flee.

The more than 80 large and small ships were all captured by the Liangshan army.

The Liangshan army also conquered Qing'an in one fell swoop.

Fang Baihua ordered the army to advance to Xiaogu Mountain.

Shi Bao defeated the defenders in a blitzkrieg, and the Liangshan army was stationed at Hukou again.

Zhang Shun defeated the Song army's patrol on the river again, and chased to Jiangzhou with victory.

Cai Dezhang personally led his troops to fight.

Zhang Shun divided the Liangshan fleet into two wings, implemented the tactics of flanking from both sides, defeated the Song army, and captured more than 100 ships.

Cai Dezhang was forced to abandon Jiangzhou and retreat to Ezhou.

Fang Baihua and Lu Zhishen entered Kejiang Prefecture and then entered Tunzhuankou, and at the same time divided their troops to capture Nankang and other counties.

At this time, Fang Baihua sent someone to bring Mrs. Cai's letter of persuasion to surrender to Cai Dezhang.

Cai Dezhang was not a big hero in the first place, let alone heartfelt to the Zhao Song Dynasty, and now that he had a letter from his sister, he thought that Jiang Hongfei was also his cheap uncle no matter what he said, and he would give him a way to live.

So, Cai Dezhang simply led people to open the city and surrender......

The Liangshan army took Jiangzhou in one fell swoop, including the surrounding prefectures and counties.

According to Jiang Hongfei's instructions in advance, Xiao Rang temporarily assumed the post of Jiangzhou prefect, and the people he brought immediately began to work on the matter of doing things for Tianxingdao.

There is not much to say in this regard, the heroes of Liangshan are now too familiar with the process of Tianxingdao.

But at the same time, Jiang Hongfei also gave Fang Baihua and others two tasks: one is to pull up a team in the southeast; The second is to recruit as many craftsmen, shipwrights, and sailors as possible to occupy the shipyards. In short, it is to find a way to continue to grow Shuibo Liangshan.

No one expected that seeing that the Liangshan army would defeat Jiangzhou in one fell swoop, and the people of Jiangzhou were very receptive to Shuibo Liangshan's way of doing things for the sky, the key is that the people of Jiangzhou saw that the heroes of Liangshan gave them debt exemption, land distribution, and grain distribution, and they were all grateful to Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan.

Wu Yong found Fang Baihua and the others and said to them: "Why do we have to wait for the Manichaean uprising, it is better for us to start an incident directly in Shuibo Liangshan, in this way, we will definitely grow faster, and we can better complete the task assigned to us by the owner of the village." ”

Wu's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Xiao Rang immediately objected: "This matter is good, but the owner of the village is not famous in the southeast, even if he ascends to the heights, he is afraid that there are very few followers?" ”

Wu Yong retorted: "When the owner of the village first occupied Shuibo Liangshan, how many people knew the name of the owner of the village and the name of my Shuibo Liangshan? Today, the whole Jiangzhou knows the name of the owner of the village, and knows that there is my water in Liangshan, why can't you give it a try? ”

Hearing Wu Yong say this, Shi Bao and Lu Zhishen were a little eager to try, Zhang Shun and the others didn't know whether they should do it?

As for Fang Baihua, he is a little embarrassed!

Fang Baihua understood that Wu Yong wanted to help Shuibo Liangshan win greater benefits here in the southeast, but in that case, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to sharing the cake with her brother Fang La.

If Fang Baihua was just Fang La's sister, she would definitely not support such a thing.

But Fang Baihua is now married to Jiang Hongfei, and she is a person from Shuibo Liangshan, and she also has to fight for the interests of Shuibo Liangshan.

After hesitating, Fang Baihua said to Dai Zong: "Leader Dai, please go back to the mountain immediately, ask my family officials for instructions, and see how we should act?" ”

Then, Fang Baihua said in an unquestionable tone: "Before my family official sends clear instructions, we will act according to the original plan. ”

Fang Baihua's handling method is very safe, and Wu Yong can't find fault with it.

But Wu Yong still added to Dai Zong: "After you go back, you must also convey the attitude of the people of Jiangzhou towards the owner of the village and my Shuibo Liangshan." ”

After Dai Zong received the order, he immediately got up and hurried back to Shuibo Liangshan in the starry night, and then told Jiang Hongfei all about Wu Yong's thoughts and the attitude of Fang Baihua and others.

In addition, Dai Zong also focused on the attitude of the people of Jiangzhou towards Jiang Hongfei and Shuibo Liangshan that Wu Yong asked him to say.

The reason why Jiang Hongfei didn't think about copying Shuibo Liangshan in the southeast was not because Jiang Hongfei couldn't think of it, nor because Shuibo Liangshan couldn't do it, but because Jiang Hongfei didn't want Shuibo Liangshan to set himself on fire, especially when the sword of the Zhao and Song Dynasty had been unsheathed but it was not sure who it would cut to.

β€”β€”In this critical period, Jiang Hongfei would rather lose some of his interests than let the elite of the Song army, which was preparing to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, go south.

Let me ask, under this strategic strategy, how could Jiang Hongfei launch an uprising in the southeast under the banner of Shuibo Liangshan?

Jiang Hongfei said to Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Liu Huiniang, and Xu Guanzhong: "This Wu scholar is ......."

After thinking about it, Wu Yong was also kind, Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything serious, but changed his tone and said: "It's hard for him to think about the cottage everywhere, I blame me for this, I didn't tell him clearly about the current situation." ”

Sun Jing said: "I quite understand Wu Xuexue, but it would be a pity if Jiangzhou's public opinion is lost." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Can there be a way to have the best of both worlds? ”

Liu Huiniang said: "It's not nothing. ”

As soon as Liu Huiniang's words came out, Jiang Hongfei and the others all looked at Liu Huiniang.

Liu Huiniang didn't hide it, she said bluntly: "In the name of Fang Baihua." ”

Jiang Hongfei and the others reacted, and then suddenly realized!

In fact, Liu Huiniang's idea is very simple, that is, to give Fang Baihua a name at random, such as "Holy Maiden" or something like that, and then revolt under the banner of the Holy Maiden.

In this way, the benefits are those of Shuibo Liangshan, and the "black cauldron" is that of Fang La's righteous army, and there is no need to offend Fang La.

- Fang La's rebel army is actually not a unified rebel army, they are actually composed of various rebel armies, but they are all under the banner of Fang La, nominally at the disposal of Fang La, but in fact they are fighting separately.

Liu Huiniang woke up the dreamer with a word.

Jiang Hongfei said: "In this case, I'll go there myself and help them smooth it out." ”

Just go.

Jiang Hongfei only took Gao Liang, Chen Liqing, Hua Baoyan, Hu Sanniang, Liu Huiniang, Qiong Ying, Su Jinniang and Dai Zong, and took them to Jiangzhou with an auspicious cloud.

With Jiang Hongfei's current spiritual power, coupled with the "Soul Transformation Technique" he knows, he can already fly to Jiangzhou in one go.

However, for the sake of safety, when passing through Luzhou halfway, Jiang Hongfei still took everyone to rest for a while, and then flew to Jiangzhou.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei coming in person, Fang Baihua and the others were surprised!

Jiang Hongfei and his entourage were taken to the Jiangzhou Mansion, Fang Baihua and others bowed, and Jiang Hongfei told Fang Baihua and them about their improved plan.

In the end, Jiang Hongfei used the secret technique of sound transmission to tell Wu Yong why he didn't adopt his plan.

Wu Yong suddenly realized that he also accepted the improved plan of Jiang Hongfei and others.

So, after the packaging of Jiang Hongfei and others, the holy woman was baked.

Xiao Rang sent people to gather the people of Jiangzhou in front of the government office, and Fang Baihua ascended the public trial platform.

Jiang Hongfei taught Fang Baihua in the back and said: "The world and the country are the same. The children ploughed the fields and weaved cloth, toiled all year round, and had little food and cloth, and their fathers and brothers squandered all of them; If it is not satisfactory, it will be whipped and cruel. Are you willing to bear it? ”

The people of Jiangzhou, under the leadership of Wu Yong's pre-arranged trust, all replied: "No! ”

Fang Baihua said according to what Jiang Hongfei taught her: "In addition to squandering and wasting, she also serves the enemy in every move." The enemy relied on my wealth to enrich the truth, but he robbed and bullied me, and then the property of the enemy was not invaded and wasted! What are you all about? ”

The people of Jiangzhou, under the leadership of Wu Yong's pre-arranged Tuo, all replied angrily: "An has this reason?!" ”

Fang Baihua also said according to what Jiang Hongfei taught her: "Today's labor is heavy, the officials plunder and extort, and the agricultural mulberry is not enough to supply. The people are born and the officials are erected, and they are supposed to support the people; It is tyrannical! The heart of heaven and man, can there be no resentment? And the corrupt officials squandered and wasted their property, bribing the west and the north and the two captives, all of which were anointed with blood in the southeast! The people alone are diligent all year round, and their wives are frozen, and they can't get enough food for a day. ”

This time, there is no need for those trusts to lead, and the people of Jiangzhou shouted loudly: "Only life! ”

On the first day of October in the second year of Xuanhe, the Holy Maiden Baihua revolted in Jiangzhou, with the call to crusade against Zhu Mian and the main purpose of doing the right thing for the sky.

In a few days, tens of thousands of people gathered......
