Chapter 308: Forcible occupation of Foshan

"Qin Daxia is polite, he doesn't dare to give advice, if he wants some humble opinions, he should serve them below. Yue Bufan said with a smile.

As the important leader of the Guangdong Heaven and Earth Society, Qin Rigang has thousands of people under him, and he is a fourth-order great grandmaster-level master, and the blood condensation divine claw he cultivates is a must in the martial arts, and an outsider like Yue Bufan doesn't want to easily offend such a big man.

"Today, Li Xian has made some arrangements, and everything else is easy to say, sending Wang Jiuxuan out to attack Foshan Town, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate, right?

Wang Jiuxuan is the head disciple of the Sanyuan Temple, and it is very likely that he will be the one who will take over the Sanyuan Concept in the future.

At a time when the war is critical now, don't let him lead the troops in Sanyuan and guard his own mountain gate, but go to Foshan, it's a bit overkill, right?" Qin Rigang said.

"Wang Jiuxuan doesn't go, so who is the right person to go?" Yue Bufan asked curiously.

"Foshan is just a small place, there are only a thousand soldiers and horses, if you want me to say send a brave general, with a partial division can be conquered.

Let's just say that Qiao Daqing of your faction is brave and calm, and has an outstanding reputation among the younger generation, just let him bring the mercenary group and some strong men over.

In the mercenary group, Lin Pingzhi is a disciple of your faction, and Yang Tianming and Qiao Daqing are irreversible friends, so they will definitely be able to do this errand well.

As long as your faction is willing, I will go to Xuan Zheng and Li Xian to talk about it, and let Qiao Daqing preside over the attack on Foshan instead, and let Wang Jiuxuan's three regiments stay, so that the troops on this side can be more and the fight will be more stable. Qin Rigang said expressionlessly.

After listening to this, Yue Bufan had an urge to squirt blood to show you.

"Qin Daxia must not do that, he is clearly against the boss's arrangement, but something big will happen. Yue Bufan hurriedly stopped and said carefully.

"Qin Daxia may have forgotten that the important thing in attacking Foshan this time is not to occupy Foshan, but to obtain the arms and materials in it, and at the same time block the material delivery route in Guangzhou.

Most of the gunpowder, weapons and ammunition of our Sanyuanli coalition army were accumulated before the Mixed Yuan Sect, as well as the seizures obtained from the occupation of Macao, but they were almost used up in many fierce battles before.

After occupying Foshan, it is possible to obtain hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder, as well as a large number of artillery and wrought iron, which is what Li Xian values.

The people who attacked Foshan were responsible for transporting these materials to the base camp, and they were also responsible for defending Foshan to resist the attack of the Qing army, and they were also responsible for the strategy of attacking Guangzhou.

To be honest, my apprentice has some ability, but he hasn't been able to do it to that extent, and I'm afraid it will hurt him to let him be in charge of such an important matter. Yue Bufan hurriedly explained.

"Qiao Daqing is the leader of the younger generation, and Master Yue is modest. Qin Rigang said disapprenously, but he no longer pushed it.

"Wang Jiuxuan is a real hero, and my apprentice is much worse than him. This attack on Foshan will inevitably make Wang Jiuxuanwei famous, and this matter should let him contribute more. Yue Bufan hurriedly praised Wang Jiuxuan.

"Wang Jiuxuan, this kid is not bad, if he really successfully occupies Foshan, his prestige, ability, and merit are all complete, even compared to Li Xian of the Mixed Yuan Sect. Qin Rigang said intentionally or unintentionally.

Yue Bufan smiled, but secretly became more and more vigilant, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Your faction has been in Guangdong for decades, and it has always acted fairly, and it is a model for all major sects in Guangdong. What does your faction think about the rebellion by pulling the flag?" Seeing Yue Bufan so careful, Qin Rigang felt bored, but he still asked.

"The Qing court has been unjust and has endangered the people of the world for many years, and our Huashan faction naturally takes it as its mission to overthrow the tyranny of the Qing state.

In the future, as long as it is to contribute to the overthrow of the violent Qing Dynasty, our faction will definitely support it without hesitation. Yue Bufan said categorically.

"Head Yue is Gao Yi. Qin Rigang had long expected that Yue Bufan would definitely say this, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart, so he just praised him a few words without pain and then returned to his residence on his own.

Yue Bufan watched Qin Rigang go back, but he secretly pondered countless things in his heart.

Qin Rigang came over this time to chat casually, but in fact, he wanted to inquire about the attitude of the Huashan Party towards the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Sanyuan Temple, that is, whether it was to support the Mixed Yuan Sect Li Xian to take charge of Guangdong affairs, or to support the Sanyuan Temple Xuan Zheng and Wang Jiuxuan to take charge of Guangdong affairs.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Qin Rigang may also appreciate Li Xian's military talent, but compared to the mixed yuan sect in Leizhou, he still prefers his three-element view of Guangzhou.

Moreover, this is not an exception, the local concept of this era is very strong, and the local warriors in Guangzhou account for the majority of the Sanyuanli coalition army, compared to Leizhou Li Xian, who has almost never heard of a year ago, naturally hopes that the local sect will take charge of the rebellion, so that it can also take more benefits in the future.

As a foreign sect with great strength and prestige, the local faction led by Qin Rigang naturally wanted to inquire about the thoughts of the Huashan faction.

Of course, the attitude of the Huashan faction is also very clear, and all those who rebel against the imperial court will support it, that is to say, no matter whether the Mixed Yuan Sect or the Sanyuan Temple presides over the uprising, they will also support it and remain neutral.

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. Yue Bufan thought about it and couldn't help sighing.

The Mixed Yuan Sect is a local sect in Guangdong, but it is located in Leizhou, so it is secretly excluded by the Guangzhou martial arts, and foreign sects like the Huashan Sword Sect will not be supported by the Guangzhou Martial Arts, so the Huashan faction can only watch the uprising in Guangdong, and must not participate in it.

It's just that Yue Bufan realized that the two disciples of Qiao Daqing and Ling Huzhan were also among the best masters of the younger generation, and the other disciples also had many outstanding people.

Yue Bufan stood there thinking for a long time before he finally stomped his feet and turned around to go back to his residence.

Li Xian's use of troops has always been known for his speed, the day before he had just discussed going to Foshan to use troops, the next day Wang Jiuxuan took a regiment of regular troops, a regiment of mercenaries and more than 3,000 strong men composed of the so-called militia, marched to Foshan.

When the British army first occupied the Sifang Fort, they signed an agreement with the officials in Guangzhou, demanding that Guangzhou pay a ransom fee of 6 million taels of silver, and another requirement was that all the troops stationed in Guangzhou should move out of the city and stationed elsewhere to avoid posing a threat to the British army.

The officials of Canton actually did according to such an agreement, sending their own troops far away, and not even summoning them back during the British attack on Sanyuanli, so as not to give the British some bad associations.
