Chapter 542 The most terrifying sword in the world!
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 of gambling 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 definitely 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 provides theory and direction, and plays 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 battlefield, 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 military 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 and committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, looting and raping, and the people were extremely angry. If the martial lords 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, and its 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 as Long Muhuang, Qinglu and others were celebrating with hands on their foreheads, and many of the warriors from the southern region had 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 Anziying and Bozhou's Xinziying, 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 banners and call themselves the Tianping Divine Army. They echoed with the rebels 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, 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 belonged 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. No wonder I lost to you back then and lost 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 taking control of the situation in the southern region and occupying an absolute military advantage, suddenly fell into a vast sea 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 one hundred thousand soldiers from the Zhengbai Banner, one hundred thousand soldiers from the Youyu Eight Banners, 50,000 Haixiu soldiers, and 50,000 Blood clan 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 this teaching, it will be as powerful as thunder. The Qing army will definitely fall on their backs and lose sight of one thing."
He is a religious old man 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 really difficult to fight."
The Explosive Immortal Pearl has not yet been refined, and its military strength is far inferior to that of the Qing army and the surrender army. Although 50,000 new ghost soldiers have been recruited, and more than 10,000 Feilong City heavy cavalry can also go into battle, it is still difficult to make up for the gap in strength.
The Qing army's combat power is very strong. It is far from comparable to the sluggish coalition of warlords, and it is not that easy to fight.
The Ming Dynasty was a small country, so even if it won miserably, it would still be a loss. Not only should it win, but it should also be a big victory, and the losses should not be huge.
This is a difficult strategic goal.
Now that the Tianping Divine Sect has launched its attack, this thunderous strike has made this battle much easier to fight.
"Zizhou, letting the divine religion be used by my Ming Dynasty is the best move I have made. Your contribution and planning are indispensable in this."
Jiang Yao said.
In the plan to integrate the Tianping Divine Sect, Qin Yu indeed played an important role. The earliest masters of the Divine Sect to support Jiang Yao were Qin Yu and his party.
Jiang Yao felt very good when he thought that the Southern Region was full of anti-Qing rebels under the banner of the Divine Religion.
At that time, the Western Sage and the Middle Sage abided by the long-standing contract of cause and effect and were forced to agree to serve Jiang Yao for sixty years. However, Yi Shengshi was overjoyed to see the success and wished Jiang Yao could become the leader.
However, Xisheng and Zhongsheng had no eyes for it, so they simply let it go and tossed with the ginger medicine.
As a result, Jiang Yao successfully usurped the power of the Tianping Divine Sect, obtained the powerful human resources of the Divine Sect, and suddenly solved the Ming Dynasty's major problem of lack of senior monks.
If not for the large number of high-level monks from the Divine Religion who joined the army, the Ming army would not have been able to unify the Western Regions, but would have been destroyed by the coalition of martial lords in the Western Regions.
The divine religion was regarded as a wedding dress for Jiang Yao and became an indispensable and important force in the history of the rise of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to completely control the Tianping Divine Sect, Jiang Yao and Qin Yu, on the one hand, vigorously purged dissidents and purged evil spirits, and on the other hand, they used Jin Yiwei to infiltrate in a planned way.
Over the years, the current Tianping Divine Sect has changed a lot, and it is no longer the original Tianping Divine Sect.
Even the name of Tianping Divine Sect began to be called Mingjiao!
That's right, more and more Taoist friends in the sect refer to the Tianping Divine Sect as the Ming Sect.
Qin Yu said with a smile: "I didn't do much. This plan went so smoothly, and the commander of the Jin Yiwei made Xi Shan do more. If it weren't for the Jin Yiwei, it would be almost impossible for the divine religion to launch smoothly."
Jiang Yao nodded, deeply convinced. "Yunong also contributed a lot."
Today's Tianping Divine Sect is inextricably linked to Jinyiwei. In fact, the underground forces of the Divine Sect all over the world have become branches of Jinyiwei.
All in all, Jinyiwei has a history of more than thirty years.
Over the years, under Jiang Yao's guidance, Xi Shan developed Jinyiwei into the largest, most powerful, and most professional intelligence agency in the world.
This is not only because of Xi Shan's spy talents and Jiang Yao's theoretical guidance, but also because of the huge financial support and the human resources of the Tianping Divine Sect.
Today's Jinyiwei is definitely the most terrifying spy organization. It has far surpassed Chu's "Insect Spirit", Qing's "Esoteric Sect", and Zhou's "Shadow".
As for espionage organizations in other countries, they are even worse.
The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty has branches in the four major regions. There are spies in the Mei Tapir, Youyu Clan, and the Blood Clan. They really monitor the world and penetrate every corner!
Except for the Haili clan and the Void Sea in the depths of Nanming, every force has secret spies from Jin Yiwei.
The highest-status secret spy is even a first-class official in another country, or even a concubine!
In the palaces of various countries, there are spies of imperial guards.
The Ming Dynasty is definitely the most adept at using spies in the world.
No matter how high a person's status is, as long as he still has weaknesses, selfishness, and desires, he may be secretly instigated and exploited.
No matter who it is!
………
Puguan City is the headquarters of Dao'an Army of Chu State.
The Daoan Army is Pankang's private female army, and has been commanded by Li Luoer and Li Xi over the years.
These years of persistence in resisting the Qing Dynasty made the two women very famous, and they were called the "Two Beauties of the Central Region". They were not only widely spread in the Chu and Southern Regions, but also in the Qing Dynasty.
Especially the poor families in the Southern Territory have deep respect for these two noble ladies who came from the distant Central Territory but were able to persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty with the help of the Chu State's female army.
In the eyes of the poor family, they are much stronger than those selfish and scattered nobles of the Southern Region martial arts family!
Even those sea turtles all know the names of the "Zhongyu Shuangjiao" and Daoan Army. Their slogan is very evil, and the translation is:
"Catch Shuangjiao, catch the female soldiers, and catch the hard-working students."
Therefore, the ones who like to attack Dao'an's army the most are the Haixi soldiers in the Qing army.
Li Luoer and Li Xi abandoned Qiguan half a year ago, retreated to the southern region, and joined forces with the Yue clan to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
However, the Qing army was powerful and the nine-lord coalition, dominated by the Vietnamese army, suffered heavy losses. Dao'an's army was unable to support it alone and had no choice but to retreat again and again.
Finally retreated to Puguan.
But in fact, they are surrounded by enemy troops for thousands of miles.
At this time, Li Luo'er stood on Guancheng and looked northwest, with firm eyes and looking through the autumn water.
"What are you looking at, Junior Sister Luo?" Li Xi said sweetly, "You hope Jiang Yao's Ming army will come to your aid? Hehe."
The two female generals, one wearing purple armor and the other wearing red armor, both carry the murderous spirit of the military. They are both celestial and beautiful, making them unforgettable.
"Senior Sister Xi, aren't you looking forward to the Ming army again?" Li Luoer turned his head and looked at Li Xi, whose hair was flying.
"Finally, you've been waiting for me. I guess the Ming army is almost out of Fanshan... Hey, your hair is brushing my face."
"Hee. Are you swiping your face again?" Li Xi stayed away from her and flipped her hair.
"We are surrounded here, and the information is not clear. We don't know how long we can hold on. If I don't look forward to ginger medicine, who else can I hope for?"
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky, carrying a heart-stopping sword intent.
Juggernaut!
This is a man in black. He has a sword stuck in his waist. He has a long body and an indifferent look, as if he doesn't care about anything.
But when he saw Li Luo'er, his eyes suddenly lit up with respect.
"Master, the servant is back."
This young and shameless swordsman is none other than Xu Erlang.
He had found Li Luo'er at Qiguan before, and had been helping Li Luoer guard Qiguan, and never returned to Zhongyu Jianmen again.
After having the opportunity to help Li Luoer guard the gate, his Taoist heart became more perfect and his cultivation became smoother.
Now he has reached the ninth level of swordsmanship! He is only one step away from the great sage of swordsmanship. It is a small step higher than the realm of his master Luo Xianzi!
The speed of cultivation is really terrifying.
Li Xi said that he was no longer a genius because there was no genius in the world who could cultivate so quickly.
In order to thank him for helping to guard Qiguan, Pankang also gave him a third-grade bodyguard, the title of Marquis of Jianchi of the Chu State, and a fiefdom of thousands of miles.
Emperor Chu's intention was actually to let Xu Erlang serve the future Queen of Chu well.
"Erlang, do you have the latest news?" Li Luoer asked directly.
"Reply to Master." Although Xu Erlang is a strong man in the ninth level of swordsmanship, he is extremely respectful in front of Fairy Luo.
"The Tianping Divine Religion is revolting...the Qing army is quite passive now."
Xu Erlang explained the situation again.
When Fairy Luo and Li Xi heard this, they both looked surprised.
Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened in one day.
In this way, we can at least break out of the encirclement and protect Dao Anjun and the sisters.
"Erlang, what else did you do?" Li Luoer saw that Xu Erlang had killed someone again.
"Returning to the master is just a small matter." Xu Erlang said, "I killed Bihe Mark with a sword. Because he spoke rudely to his master, the crime cannot be punished."
Li Luo'er and Li Xi looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.
Killed another level 7 sea turtle.
Moreover, that Bihema was the seventh-level Perfect General Hailiu, and he was actually beheaded by Xu Erlang.
This shows how strong Xu Erlang's swordsmanship is.
Swordsmanship is the fastest attack in the world.
Although he is not a great saint, ordinary great saints will die under his sword before they can sacrifice the magic weapon!
Xu Erlang's sword is really terrifying.
His sword domain can actually break through ordinary battle domains!
fear!
Fairy Luo, who is very knowledgeable, knows that Xu Erlang's sword may be the most terrifying sword in the world.
If he hadn't recognized Li Luo'er as his master, how could Li Luo'er and Li Xi be so calm in front of him?
PS: Today I went to the army to give lessons to the soldiers. I was too busy. Good night, Crab! The weather is too hot. You must pay attention to your health. It is difficult to live now.
