Be.

The situation of Shuibo Liangshan in the southeast looks very good.

However, Jiang Hongfei will not be too optimistic about the situation in the southeast because of this illusion.

No one knows better than Jiang Hongfei that the reason why the Zhao Song Dynasty chose to cut the land and pay compensation to marry the emperor Ji would also negotiate peace with Shuibo Liangshan was because Zhao Jijun sent all the most capable troops of the Zhao Song Dynasty to the southeast to quell the rebellion.

In the eyes of Zhao Jijun's ministers, they would rather lose the territory north of the Yellow River than the food and economic lifeline of the Zhao and Song dynasties - the southeast!

And Tong Guan, it doesn't matter if you say that he is a powerful eunuch, or that he is one of the "six thieves", but you can't deny that Tong Guan still has a certain ability.

Tong Guan's ability is at least reflected in the fact that he is absolutely expert in civil war.

Shi Xiu's evaluation of Hong Jae is that he is treacherous and not specialized.

After full proof, Li De and the four of them also saw what level they were, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them with "heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper".

However, with the involvement of Shuibo Liangshan, it was difficult for Tong Guan to suppress the uprising in the southeast in a short period of time.

It can be said that in addition to Shuibo Liangshan and Fang La's righteous army, Hong Zai has almost developed into the third largest force here in Liangzhejiang.

Hong Zai first captured Longquan, and then went down to Songyang, according to the city, divided his troops to attack Suichang.

These heroes of Wuzhou also know that whether it is the Fangla Righteous Army, or Shuibo Liangshan, or the Song Army, after developing to a certain extent, they will definitely attack Wuzhou, if they do not choose one side to take refuge, sooner or later they will be burned or exterminated.

But then again, although the southeast can hold out for a while, the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the acquisition of a stable Longxing land still cannot be delayed any longer.

Among them, the northern part of Chuzhou, the southern part of Taizhou and Wenzhou are all occupied by Shuibo Liangshan, and it is Shibao, the general of Liangshan, who controls this area.

Moreover, don't look at Tong Guan as just a eunuch, but he is really prestigious among the Western Army, which is the most capable of fighting in the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

And sometimes, the art of ghosts and gods is really more effective than reason.

These rebel armies in Wuzhou actually have a common spiritual leader - Chen Shishi, Niangniang, Chen Miaozhen.

Although it is not easy for Wang Yu to win every time, Wang Yu has also won many battles, and he is about to fight in Hangzhou.

But the problem is that Jiang Hongfei only eradicated the officials and gentry and nobles who occupied or occupied the area of Shuibo Liangshan, and the officials and gentry and nobles who occupied or occupied the area by the Fangla Righteous Army were not cleared by the Fangla Righteous Army, and the Fangla Righteous Army just killed many officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasty in general, which not only did not help, but also strengthened the determination of the officials and gentry and nobles to eliminate the Fangla Righteous Army, and these people would help the Song Army defeat the Fangla Righteous Army sooner or later.

Hong Zai personally led more than 100 people to take a boat around the rear of Zhao Yucai, Deng Ying and others, all of them tied a silk handkerchief on their heads, and pinned a magic mirror that can reflect strong light, from the Longquan Mountains to sound the cymbals and drums, down the river to the south, using the magic mirror to defeat Zhao Yucai, Deng Ying, the officials and gentry in the nearby county towns fled in despair.

Wu Yong continued: "Half a month ago, the Shixiu brothers had already sent someone to contact Hong Zai, saying that we could send troops to help him defeat Longquan, Suichang, and Songyang, and eliminate the officials and gentry in these areas, but the younger brother did not wait for Hong Zai's reply to come here, and the younger brother had already handed over the matter to Sun Junjun, and it was expected that Hong Zai would not refuse our kindness." ”

In other words, Hong Zai has been developing and growing in the name of Fangla.

Later, these people jointly found Chen Miaozhen to see if Chen Miaozhen could help them make a unified choice.

History has proven that the Fang La Yi army could not resist these tricks of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Listening to Jiang Hongfei ask how long the Fangla Righteous Army can hold out, Wu Yong said: "Nowadays, there are still a large number of people in the southeast in the face of butcher's knives and heavy rewards regardless of life and death to vigorously support the Righteous Army, the Song Army encircled and suppressed the Fangla Righteous Army in the process, there are villagers along the way to respond, due to the stubborn resistance of the Fangla Righteous Army and the active assistance of the people in the southeast, the Song Army must pay the price of blood every step forward, just like not long ago the Song Army entered Tonglu Port, the Fangla Righteous Army fought fiercely with the help of the local people, and gave the Song Army a heavy blow, so that the Song Army suffered heavy casualties. ”

For example, Zhu Yan wanted to join the Fangla Rebellion, which was larger in the southeast, but Wu Bang thought that Shuibo Liangshan was more developed.

So, Li De, Jiang Cai, and Dong Ju wanted to vote for Jiang Hongfei, who Chen Miaozhen had voted for, but the kingdom felt that Jiang Hongfei's forces were more in the north, and they should still vote for Fang La.

But most of Zhu Yan and others do not have the heart of a bodhisattva like Chen Miaozhen, to put it bluntly, the reason why they revolted was actually mainly to change their own poor fate.

And Chen Miaozhen because of her behavior is very similar to this folk legend of the divine hero, also has a good medical skills, compassion, and then in Wuzhou, and even in the entire Liangzhejiang region is very famous, people regard her as the incarnation of Chen Shishi Niangniang, and even call her Chen Shishi Niangniang, of course, this is also because she herself used the name Chen Shishi to apply medicine everywhere to save people.

It was also from Wang Yu and them that Jiang Hongfei learned that as soon as Tong Guan gained a foothold in the southeast, he ordered Liu Yanqing to divide the Song army into two routes:

One route was commanded by Wang Yu, south to Hangzhou, and then advanced westward from Hangzhou, pointing to Muzhou;

Tong Guan has a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, which is the only way for the Zhao and Song dynasties to experience hundreds of civil uprisings without falling.

Wuzhou was mainly occupied by a group of heroes who took refuge in Shuibo Liangshan.

The two sides fought more than 100 times, and Li De's four people concentrated their elite team at the foot of the Huanggu Ridge to kill Xiang De and occupy Yongkang.

At one time, Hong Zai occupied the entire territory of Chuzhou.

Second, he attached great importance to affection and righteousness, and he accepted the sons of fallen generals as righteous sons, provided them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, let them receive a good education, and arranged suitable jobs.

At the beginning, Li De, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, and Wang Guo didn't want to join Jiang Hongfei with Chen Miaozhen, they wanted to fight for a piece of the world by themselves, so they divided the Chen 14th Righteous Army that followed them into four, and kept fighting with Wuyi's jailer Xiang De.

At the same time, Tong Guan rewarded the core figures of the Fang La Righteous Army, such as capturing or killing Fang La, and the white body made up for the rampant defense envoys, and the spirit stone was 100,000.

The most ruthless thing is that while Tong Guan sent troops to kill the rebels, he also issued an edict to appease the rebels, and even to appease the Fangla rebels.

Wu Yong concluded: "If Fang La's gang doesn't think of a way again, I'm afraid that in less than three months, their good situation will collapse, and they may be defeated by the Song army at the end of the year." ”

Wu Yong said: "Hangzhou is short of grain, Fang La sent Chen Hoop bucket to Fuzhou for help, and after discussing with Fang Niangzi, Lu Jiang's prefect and others, the younger brother asked Li Jun to transport 100,000 stone of grain to Hangzhou City by sea to ensure that Hangzhou City will not be lost due to lack of food." ”

Wu Yong added: "The younger brother mentioned in the compromise, the grain was sold to Fang La's Yijun at the market price, does my brother have an impression?" ”

Jiang Hongfei nodded and motioned for Wu Yong to continue.

This area is mainly Wuzhou, the northern part of Chuzhou, the southern part of Taizhou and Wenzhou.

Then, Chen Miaozhen said: "I walked in the county under the jurisdiction of Jiangguo Gong, but it was the opposite, all over the greenery, the road was not forgotten, and the night was not closed, I grew up in southern Zhejiang, wasted 27 years, I have never seen such a scene, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really can't imagine that in just one year, Jiang Guogong will benefit one party, which is in line with the original intention of our uprising!" ”

And Liu Zhen was also in a tug-of-war with Fang La's rebels in Shezhou and Xuanzhou.

Songyang gentry Zhao Yucai and Deng Ying organized the landlords' armed forces to resist the northward advance of the Hongzai rebel army in Monshan.

At present, in the southeast region, the front line of Shuibo Liangshan is the righteous army led by these heroes in Wuzhou.

Therefore, Chen Miaozhen's fancy point is not what they value the most.

The three rebel armies in Wuzhou seem to fight separately and do not belong to each other, but in fact they are not.

Zhu Yan and others were touched when they heard this.

The other route was commanded by Liu Zhen, from Xuanzhou to Shezhou in the south, blocking the road for Fang La's army to advance westward, and echoing Wang Yu's army, plotting to flank Muzhou, the base of Fang La's army, and finally joining forces to help Yuandong.

Jiang Hongfei learned from Wang Yu, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue and other people under Tong Guan that the reason why Tong Guan has a high prestige in the Western Army is that in addition to the position factor and personality factor, there are two other important points:

Jiang Hongfei asked, "How did you deal with it?" ”

The heroine Zhu is active in the Dongyang area.

In terms of politics, Hong Zai has always respected Fang La as a holy prince, regarded himself as a courtier of the Yongle Dynasty, and implemented the era of the Yongle Dynasty in his territory.

After Huo Chengfu led his rebel army to leave Chuzhou to go to Fangla, Hong Zai, who was originally active in the southern area of Chuzhou, grew rapidly.

In short, under the persuasion of Chen Miaozhen, a group of heroes in Wuzhou finally unanimously decided to throw themselves into Liangshan.

Hong Zai was already a little shaken because of the unfavorable battle and seeing that the situation of the Song army had improved.

Wuzhou extends in all directions and is a land of four wars.

Today, Shuibo Liangshan is in the southeast, in addition to occupying Fujian, it also occupies a large territory in southern Zhejiang.

Hong Zai robbed and killed the officials and gentry and nobles, robbed them of their money and food to distribute to the poor, and recruited the brave, so that his team expanded rapidly, claiming to have 400,000 to the outside world.

That's why Fang La can resist for so long.

Seeing Zhu Yan and others hesitating, Chen Miaozhen's eyes moved, and she took the initiative to say: "You and others have no master's assets, and you are bound to invest in a person who can achieve great things, so that you can enjoy wealth forever. ”

Like Zhu Yan and Wu Bang, they occupied Shouchang County.

Recently, Hong Zai has captured many places, but the attack on Longquan and Suichang, which are subordinate counties of the state, has never been completely captured. Songyang was captured, and the gains and losses were regained, the reason was the inappropriate command of Hong Zai and the stubborn resistance of the landlords' armed forces - Songyang tyrants Ye Chun, Ye Tianlin father and son, Lishui County tyrants Liang Jiang and Liang Kai brothers, all devoted their family resources, raised soldiers, and refused to fight according to the danger.

But you have to vote, you have to rely on it, but for who to turn to, these heroes in Wuzhou are quarreling endlessly, and it is also a quarrel within each force.

Before Wang Yu was asked by Jiang Hongfei to come, he fought with Fang Qifo for 17 battles.

After the uprising, Chen Miaozhen took a fancy to Jiang Hongfei through observation and decided that Jiang Hongfei was the savior, so she took the righteous army who were willing to go with her to join Jiang Hongfei.

First, he is willing to spend money, and the pensions he gives to the fallen soldiers are very generous.

In other words, Hong Zai is very smart and has a lot of means, but he is not a staunch revolutionary like Fang La.

It's just that this time, Jiang Hongfei used thunderous means to eradicate a large number of the Zhao and Song Dynasty's ruling bases in the southeast region, that is, high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry and prominent families.

After listening to the thoughts of Zhu Yan and others, Chen Miaozhen said: "Not long ago, I went to the place under the jurisdiction of Fang Shenggong, which was full of devastation, corpses were everywhere, the people were not happy, bandits were rampant, and even I was almost caught by thieves to be the wife of the village. ”

After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "Moreover, presumably Fang Niangzi has already reported to his brother, the Shibao brothers led 50,000 Liangshan troops to be stationed in Jinyun County, and Wuzhou also has Li De, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, Wang Guo, Zhu Yan, Wu Bang, Zhu Shi and other departments who have taken refuge in my Shuibo Liangshan, they have 150,000 righteous troops in their hands, if Hangzhou is in danger, the Shibao Brotherhood will lead this 200,000 army to reinforce the Fang La Yi army, and at the same time, Lu Shinang, Qiu Daoren, and Zheng Demon King should also reinforce the Fang La Yi army, and it will not be easy for the Song army to win......

This divine hero in folklore, because he is good at "healing diseases, eliminating demons, helping dangers, relieving misfortunes, saving births, protecting fetuses, sending children, and resolving doubts", protects the country and the people, and has immeasurable merits, and the holy miracles are spread far to southeast China and Southeast Asia and many other places, and are widely recited and worshipped.

God can see mercy, Chen Miaozhen has never learned anything from her master except for medical skills, and even whether her master will meet each other.

If you want to get an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires.

However, Zhu's attitude is a little unclear.

But in order to help Jiang Hongfei and help the world, Chen Miaozhen didn't blink her eyes and told this big lie.

The real Chen Shisi Niangniang is a fairy, a native of the Tang Dynasty, with the big name "Chen Jinggu", and her honorific titles are: Lady Linshui, Our Lady of Shuntian, Our Lady of Tianxian, Mrs. Tzu Chi, Bixia Yuanjun, and Zhusheng Niangniang.

At the beginning, Li De, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, and Wang Guoren wanted to rise up, but the four of them knew that they did not have the ability to call on the people to revolt with them, so they found Chen Miaozhen, and then revolted in the name of Chen Miaozhen.

was afraid that Jiang Hongfei was not familiar with Hong Zai, a little person, so Wu Yong introduced Hong Zai to Jiang Hongfei......

Chen Miaozhen's original subordinates Li De, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, and Wang Guo were active in the Wuyi and Yongkang areas.

Speaking of this, Wu Yong's tone changed: "But after the Song army seized several shipyards, it began to build a large number of warships, the Song army was reinforced by warships, and advanced by land and water, the Fang La Yi army has begun to be a little defeated, and in the near future, the speed of the Song army's advance will be accelerated, in addition, the Song army's slaughter and heavy reward for the Fang La Yi army is a powerful call and encouragement to the officials and gentry." The two Zhejiang, mainly the officials and gentry and nobles in western Zhejiang, have been fighting against the Fangla Righteous Army, they collected the remnants of the defeated generals, organized the landlords to arm, and cooperated with the Song Army to attack the Fangla Righteous Army. Not long ago, when the Song army entered Xincheng, Xu Shao, a local tyrant, led the troops who had been gathered, wrapped in green scarves on their heads, and took the opportunity to ambush Fangla's righteous army, so that the Song army could quickly seize Xincheng. ”

You must know that the reason why many people revolt is not for fairness and justice at all, but for their own glory and wealth.

To be honest, even if the Liangshan Army in the southeast participated in the battle in an all-round way and went all out to help Fang Layi's army, most of them were not the elite opponents of the Song Army led by Tong Guan.

After that, Chen Miaozhen didn't care about anything, so she ran around to save the suffering.

After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "What's more serious is that Brother Shixiu has concluded that Hong Zai will be opposed. ”

Let's put it this way, Jiang Hongfei asked Wang Yu and others to come, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to helping Fang La, otherwise, with Wang Yu commanding the Left Route Army, Fang La may have lost Hangzhou, the political, economic, and cultural center of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the southeast.

However, there is one thing to say, the rebel army under these heroes in Wuzhou is actually very limited.

The key is that Tong Guan, in the name of Zhao Ji, dismissed the former Gangyun, banned the carriage of flowers and stones into Beijing, exempted the two Zhejiang households from paying taxes in arrears for three years, dismissed Zhu Mian's father, son, brother and nephew, and condemned Jiang Hongfei to death all the crimes they convicted, so that they took the blame for Zhao Ji's monarchs and ministers, and pardoned irrelevant people, which made the people in the southeast angry a lot.

Therefore, after talking to Wu Yong, seeing that the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Yizhou and Zhuozhou had also been almost eliminated, Jiang Hongfei made the highest instructions: Don't take care of Jizhou, Jingzhou, Danzhou, and Shunzhou first, and send troops to take Yanjing directly......
