The Dawn Project is a secret chess plan personally planned by Jiang Yao and Qin Yu more than ten years ago.

Originally, it was to play a greater role and deal mainly with the most powerful martial arts forces in the Central Region.

However, in order to successfully capture the Southern Territory and achieve a great victory in the Southern Expedition, the Dawn Plan could only be launched in advance.

After all, this is a battle to gamble on the fate of the country, and the Ming Kingdom cannot afford to lose. If the bet loses, the Ming Kingdom will have no future, and there will be no chance to deal with the Zhou Kingdom.

"My lord, it's time for the southern region's military lords and the Qing army to see the power of the Ming Dynasty."

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Of course, this is all the work of the Tianping Divine Sect and has nothing to do with the Jin Yiwei."

Jiang Yao nodded: "Zizhou and Yunong have put a lot of thought into the affairs of the Jinyi Guards and the Divine Cult over the past few years. With your help, I will surely win the Southern Expedition!"

In recent years, in terms of state affairs, Jiang Yao has only been responsible for the overall situation and strategic construction. He has provided theory and direction, and has played the role of mentor and helmsman.

In terms of various specific implementations, the main planners and operators are actually Qin Yu and others.

Therefore, Qin Yu actually understands the specific affairs of each department better than Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao doesn't have much energy to pay attention to Jinyiwei and Tianping Divine Sect, thanks to Qin Yu and others who are in charge of supervision.

Jiang Yao stood up and looked at the gray dense forest of Fanshan Mountain outside. "We must cross Fanshan Mountain as soon as possible. We must enter the Southern Territory within half a month."

Fanshan Mountain is extremely dangerous. Although the army is protected by a battle zone, it still needs to march carefully, as it will definitely not get up quickly.

After half a month, we left Fanshan Mountain and entered the Southern Territory, already at the fastest speed.

…

The martial arts forces in the southern region surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another, and there were so many surrenders that almost all the feudal lords and their retainers joined one clan after another.

There are now more than a hundred martial arts clans, big and small, who announced that they would change their banner and return to the Qing Dynasty?

In order to preserve the wealth of the family and the resources of the fief, why do they care so much? The interests of the human race, the sea turtles and the blood demons are all invisible.

As for whether "we, the Qing Dynasty" will cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, they are quite confident.

As long as you serve the Qing Dynasty with military merit, the Qing Dynasty will not treat you poorly.

As a result, the strength of the "Qing Dynasty Suppression and Ming Dynasty Anti-Rebellion Army" increased rapidly. These were the last assets of the Wulord Alliance, and they gathered together an army of 500,000 Wu Zong!

Suddenly, he became a Qing army!

The only Wu family soldiers and horses in the southern region that are still resisting are the nine-lord coalition army led by the Vietnamese army, and the Dao'an army commanded by Li Luo'er and Li Xi.

Most of the remaining warlords, including the eight-state warlords that had not yet been occupied by the Qing army, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty on their own initiative, while a few sat on the sidelines and stayed out of the incident.

It is sad that the eighteen states in the Southern Region, a region larger and more powerful than the Western Region, were so vulnerable to the Qing army.

In the past six months, although the Qing army had won many battles and was invincible, after all, it was outnumbered and went deep alone, so its losses were actually not small.

In addition, the Qing army was brutal, committing crimes, burning, killing, looting and raping at every turn, and the people were extremely angry. If the warlords in the southern region united as one and united with the poor families to fight with all their strength, it would be difficult for the Qing army to succeed.

But now the Qing army not only increased its troops by 300,000, but also received 500,000 surrendered troops from the southern region. The military strength immediately expanded rapidly.

Qinglu reorganized the 500,000 surrendered troops of Wuzong into ten battalions. Each battalion appointed a Qing army general as the camp leader, and the surrendered Southern Territory general as the deputy camp leader.

In addition, Qinglu, as the Imperial Envoy and the Governor of the Southern Territory, also appointed a large number of local officials in prefectures, counties, and counties. Many city lords and lords were still the same people.

In order to show their loyalty and perform meritorious service, they searched for resources one after another and sent them to the Qing army camp in a steady stream.

Seeing that the Qing army is in a good situation, it will soon take complete control of the situation in the southern region.

The Nine Lords Alliance Army and the Dao'an Army, dominated by the Vietnamese army, are no longer worthy of fear and are no match at all.

From a military perspective, the Qing army was so powerful that the warlords surrendered one after another. In fact, the Ming army had lost the conditions for victory in the southern expedition.

The generals who surrendered also expressed their willingness to take the lead in fighting the Ming army so that the Qing Dynasty could see their sincerity.

But just when Long Muhuang, Qinglu and others were celebrating with hands on their foreheads, and many of the Southern Region's martial arts surrendered, several major events suddenly happened.

Anti-Qing uprisings broke out in hundreds of cities and territories on the same day!

The rebels were not only monks from poor families, but also private soldiers of lords and city defense troops from various places.

They occupied the city, invaded the city lord's palace and lord's palace, and even attacked the lord's palace!

The momentum was extremely large, the organization was very strict, and many strong people appeared!

In just one day, more than a hundred cities fell into the hands of the rebels, and countless lords, city lords and even feudal lords were killed.

The rebel armies that have sprung up all over the world call themselves the Divine Soldiers of the Balance and call for a peaceful world again.

Suddenly, the monks from humble families who had long been angry and dared not speak out responded one after another, numbering in the tens of millions!

In addition, what shocked the Qing army and the Wu family nobles even more was that mutinies occurred in five camps of the 500,000 Ming Suppression and Anti-rebellion Army that had just been formed.

Accounted for half!

In five large camps including Lizhou's Anzi Camp and Bozhou's Xinzi Camp, the newly appointed Wu camp leader and deputy camp leader were all attacked and killed by their generals.

The mutinous generals attacked and killed the chief and deputy camp leaders, elected the leader to succeed the camp leader, used high-level talismans to erase the general ban on the military seal, and refined it again.

Then, he successfully took control of the military. Many middle- and lower-level officials were participants!

Obviously they have been planning for a long time and are well prepared.

Then, the rebels in these five camps announced that they would change their banner and call themselves the Tianping Divine Army. They echoed with the rebel armies in various places and became even more powerful.

What's even worse is that even a few Qing troops rebelled!

The Zhenglan Banner Division stationed at Yanzhou Yinguan, with about 18,000 banner troops, led by Shenling Nahai and others, suddenly announced their rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and called themselves the Tianping Divine Army.

The Xianghuang Banner Division, which was stationed at Xiyang Mountain City in Hezhou, numbered about 30,000 people. Under the leadership of Deputy Commander Lancha, they declared their rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and called themselves the Tianping Divine Army.

These major events all happened on the same day and at the same time!

After receiving the news, Long Muhuang and Qinglu were immediately stunned.

Out of ten surrendered military camps, five suddenly rebelled!

More than a hundred cities were occupied by rioters!

That's okay, after all, they are outsiders to begin with, so it's not surprising that they have two minds and are rebellious.

But even the Eight Banners soldiers rebelled!

This simply made Long Muhuang and Qinglu furious.

The Xianghuang Banner belongs to the Forbidden Army, and 30,000 people rebelled under the leadership of Lancha!

Damn it!

Long Muhuang, Qinglu, Fu Ankang and other Qing army giants were suddenly anxious and exhausted.

Even Qinglu, who had always had wisdom and sophisticated methods and was called a "wise man" by the Qing people, did not expect that the good situation would suddenly be ruined.

I didn't expect that the Tianping Divine Sect would make such a big fuss and ruin such a big thing.

I really didn’t expect that!

He could only be sure that the so-called great riot of the Tianping Divine Sect must be related to the Ming Dynasty, to Jiang Yao, and to the Jin Yiwei!

Who would have thought that if we haven’t seen Jiang Yao this time, we will lose a step!

Jiang Zhongda, Jiang Zhongda, you are indeed a ruthless character. Don’t blame me for losing to you back then and losing so miserably!

Immediately, Long Muhuang ordered to quell the rebellion. She even personally led the army to Hezhou to pacify the deputy capital Lancha, and sent Qinglu to Yinguan to pacify the Zhenglan Banner and accept Nahai.

Then the various armies were dispatched to suppress the five surrendered army camp heads who resisted the Qing Dynasty, as well as the "rebellious troops" in various places.

Overnight, the situation in the Southern Territory changed drastically.

The Qing army, which was on the verge of controlling the situation in the southern region and occupying an absolute military advantage, suddenly fell into a vast ocean of anti-Qing rebels.

The powerful and arrogant Qing army was suddenly exhausted and had no time to look north.

The news reached the distant Qing court, and the Qing court was in an uproar.

Tianping Cult?!

A few old people are confused. Isn't the Tianping Divine Sect an old friend of the Queen Mother? I think back then, it was the Tianping Divine Sect who helped the Queen Mother destroy the Jiang Sect and the Cui family's small world.

Why did the Tianping Cult become the enemy of the Qing Dynasty?

Soon, an imperial edict was transmitted back to the Qing court from outside the country: Continue to increase troops! The Southern Territory will be captured!

The Qing government immediately removed 100,000 troops from the Zhengbai Banner, 100,000 troops from the Youyu Eight Banners, 50,000 Haixiu soldiers, and 50,000 Blood Tribe soldiers, for a total of 300,000 troops!

These 300,000 Wuzong (third-level) soldiers and horses are already the last strength of the Qing army that can reinforce the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Because there is a Chu State to the west, which contains the main force of the Qing army. If too much is taken away, it will not be able to stop the Chu army's attack.

As soon as the 300,000 reinforcements arrive, the total strength of the Qing army in the Northern Expedition will reach 1.3 million, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops from the southern region available, which can still suppress the Tianping Divine Sect and the Ming army.

………

"Lord, the Dawn Project has been launched, and the underground forces of the Southern Divine Religion have been completely made public."

"Today, there are 108 cities in the southern region in our hands."

"The five major camps may change their banners and return to the Ming Dynasty at any time. They are just waiting for the king's order from the lord."

Qin Yu said with a smile, "The results are even smoother than I expected. It seems that the Qing army is too unpopular."

When the generals of the Ming army heard this, they all looked happy.

Duanmu Hongdao, the commander-in-chief of the left, said with a smile: "If we don't take advantage of our religion, it will be as powerful as thunder. The Qing army will definitely fall on their backs and lose sight of one thing."

He is an old man from the religion and has deep feelings for the religion.

The right governor Shang Xuan was also very happy, "I was called a female bandit when I fell into the grass in Yangshan. What do the martial arts say now?"

He had been following Jiang Yao's mystery, his eyes flashed with a complicated expression.

Jiang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and looked more calm, "Don't change the banner yet, let them use the banner of the divine religion for the time being."

"With this move by the Divine Religion, the situation has finally been restored. Otherwise, this battle would have been difficult to fight."
