Chapter 399 How the black-bellied rabbit fools others
Radio waves sent the latest news that Fang La and a group of rebels had annihilated the Song Army to the branch in charge of Chen Aiguo in Yuhang Town.
at the same time.
Team members located in other areas also passed the collected information to the branch in charge of Chen Aiguo.
Looking at the latest news collected, Chen Aiguo frowned: "There has never been a large-scale ghost killing in the Song Dynasty. No demons have been found. Maybe there are not as many ghosts in this world as imagined."
"It's also possible that the war just broke out, and the hostility in the world is still relatively light."
"It is indeed possible!" Chen Aiguo recorded this speculation, and then asked, "How is Zhang Jin's investigation going?"
"The Ghost King and the Spirit Pearl were not found!"
"He still has a lot of time, don't be in a hurry. Is there anything unusual between the Shushan Sword Sect and the local martial arts?"
"Many martial arts people have joined the rebel army, and some immortal monks are reclusive and have not participated in the turmoil of the world."
"Nothing happened to the Moon Worshiping Sect. The world of Immortal Sword is so peaceful!" Chen Aiguo rubbed his chin and ordered, "Inform Li Congrong to act as planned."
"Okay, I'll report it now!"
Chen Aiguo had just arranged the task and received new news.
Looking at the latest news, Chen Aiguo's face was filled with smiles.
The news was very simple, coming from the direction of Fairy Island.
Bian Zhuang, who was in seclusion with Chen Mu, broke through with the high school team.
"With several top experts, our strength is getting stronger little by little!"
…
Didi didi~
Radio waves circulated, and Li Congrong, who was staying in Fang La's unit, immediately interrupted communication after confirming the mission.
After putting on simple disguise, he went to the place occupied by Fang La
Fang La is still discussing with Mani's senior officials how to advance north and south simultaneously, attack more land, and expand more territories.
This group of people is too arrogant, and the Dongfeng Brigade will not let them do this!
What they want to do is to be a knife to cut some stubborn diseases in the Song Dynasty.
Fang La's troops fought against the Song Dynasty, and it was like throwing an egg against a stone!
The army of the Song Dynasty now has more than 400,000 people equipped with weapons purchased from the Chunfeng Caravan. A large number of weapons can arm the Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army.
The think tank speculated that the Song Dynasty could mobilize 200,000 troops to attack Fang La.
Fang La used deception and deception, and the more than 60,000 strong men he deceived were farmers who had just thrown away their hoes.
A farmer who has just picked up a sickle does not have the ability to fight decisively in the wild.
From the monitoring information in Bianliang, we learned that Dong Guan, Cai Jing and others were deceiving Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji, who was greedy for pleasure, did not know about the corrupt situation on Jiangnan East Road.
What Fang La wants to do during this period is not to expand his territory, but to erase his own sense of existence as much as possible and develop silently.
Of course, this method is a joke from hell to Fang La Part One.
The Song Dynasty was not yet in the late Ming Dynasty, and they had the ability to wipe out these rebels who had no foresight and strategy.
Li Congrong, who plays the role of a staff member, looks for the attendant guarding Fang La and informs him that new weapons have been delivered.
Upon hearing the arrival of the people from the Chunfeng Caravan, Fang La immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
There was no way, during the Fang La Uprising, the Dongfeng Brigade had already sneaked in here and became their weapons and ammunition supplier.
In addition to ordnance, Li Congrong also provided these people with a large amount of ordnance supplies and food and grass for early operation.
It is easy to overthrow the Song Dynasty, but it would be bad if it triggers the defense of heaven after overthrowing the Song Dynasty.
So what Chen Mu has to do here is to conduct remote control command in a black-handed way!
The ugly country behaves like a chess piece, and only two cents can make a chess piece.
In order to complete the mission safely this time, they once again transformed into black rabbits!
When Li Congrong saw Fang La, he saluted respectfully and then said: "Your Majesty, all the 10,000 sets of weapons and armors you requested have arrived, and all 500 muskets have been prepared. As long as transportation is smooth, we can transport them at any time!"
Hearing that the ordnance supplies were in place, Fang La was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, brother Li, thank you for your hard work. I will arrange to pick you up later."
"Your Majesty, that's not necessary. Everything we do is for business."
The disdain on Fang La's face flashed away, and he laughed and said: "Haha, Brother Li is right, but this business can also be compared with friendship..."
Fang La pulled Li Congrong and exchanged greetings with him for a while, then talked about the future development of his rebel army, and then proposed purchasing more equipment.
"Your Majesty, soldiers cannot be trained overnight. We can provide 50,000 sets of weapons and armor at any time, but the civilian men you recruit do not have the ability to fight against the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army!"
Hearing this, Shi Bao sneered and said: "Young man, you actually dare to confuse the army's morale? Do you know that our rebel army has repeatedly defeated the Song Dynasty army. These officers and soldiers are vulnerable. Even if the officers and soldiers send 100,000 troops, we can easily defeat them!"
"
"What if the Song Dynasty sent 200,000 troops?"
Shi Bao: "..."
Li Congrong said respectfully: "This general, the Song Dynasty has more than 1.5 million soldiers and 600,000 frontier troops. They are all men who dare to fight. They are not a little stronger than the Xiang army that has not experienced war for decades. If the other party sends troops
200,000, do the rebels have the ability to deal with them?"
Fang La pondered for a while and then said righteously: "The officials of the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, levied excessive taxes, and oppressed the people. The gentry flaunted etiquette, justice and shame, but they were really greedy and polite scum. The businessmen killed their children and snatched their daughters, and they were villains who did all kinds of evil. I
The rebel army led by our troops can definitely overthrow the Song Dynasty. As long as we control the Song Dynasty, there will be no bad officials in the world to oppress us!"
"Your Majesty, if you become emperor, how will you govern the Song Dynasty?"
"Exempt taxes, cancel property taxes, dredge rivers, and build water conservancy projects!"
"Your Majesty, if there are no taxes, who will be responsible for the expenses of the new dynasty? Can the income you confiscate from corrupt officials satisfy the expenses of running the dynasty in the long term?"
Fang La smiled confidently: "I want to thank you Chunfeng Caravan. I think it is good to collect taxes from business. By the way, Mr. Li, you have advanced technology, and we have a market and population, so we can completely complement each other. I am ready to let you
The government is engaged in commercial production, sales, and operations. Let the common people all over the world have their own land and everyone can get wages."
Hearing this, Li Congrong's face was tangled, but in his heart he secretly admired Fang La's brain.
Although this guy's thoughts were chaotic, he got to the point.
Moreover, this guy’s ability to deceive people is as good as that of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty!
When doing business, we first get together to eat and drink. When we have enough fun, we draw pie and elaborate on our great ideals for the future.
This is now called striving for ideals!
If this guy wins every battle, he really has a chance to achieve greatness.
Unfortunately, he rebelled a little early.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. We can raise this matter to the superiors to confirm the situation. Our caravan generally does not participate in dynasty changes. We are businessmen."
Hearing the businessman, Fang La pursed his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Understood, I understand! Mr. Li, if the weapons and supplies are shipped here earlier, it will be easier for me to settle the settlement. You should also pay close attention to what I said."
Report to your superiors."
"I will obey the king's decree!"
A few days later, before Fang La was preparing to attack Quzhou, Li Congrong hurriedly returned.
In addition to bringing a large number of weapons, he also brought a rhetoric that had been prepared long ago.
"Your Majesty, the weapons have been transported! I heard from my subordinates that your rebel army is going to attack Hengzhou? This matter is of great importance. If the rebel army captures Hengzhou, the rebel army will never stop the Song Dynasty."
Fang La's right-hand man, Shi Jun, slapped the table: "We and the Song Dynasty are already fighting to the death. If we don't capture Hengzhou, how will we replenish our financial resources? If we don't capture Hengzhou, how will we prevent the Song army from encirclement and suppression?"
Seeing Fang La's expressionless face, Li Congrong knew what he was thinking.
If he can't explain why today, he won't be able to go out in one piece!
"Your Majesty, there is a huge disparity in military strength between the Song Dynasty and the rebel army. The officers and soldiers are strong and have millions of troops. We learned that the other party has mobilized 50,000 elite troops towards Jiangnan East Road. The rebel army has grown rapidly and has 50,000 troops in just a few months.
, but the future of the rebel army seems bright, but the rebel army is already in danger, and its demise may only happen overnight!"
Hearing this, all the troops under Fang La's command suddenly became angry.
"Son, I take it you are not well-intentioned, right?"
"Yes, we and the rebels are killing Song dogs like chickens. The Song army's combat effectiveness is vulnerable. As long as we capture the Jiangning area, we can achieve control by crossing the river. Are you using a delaying plan to delay us?"
"Tell me, have you cooperated with the Song Dynasty?"
Li Congrong spread his hands: "Everyone, if I cooperated with the Song army, why would I give you tens of thousands of weapons? If I had second thoughts, I would definitely attack the rebels at night who only care about lax military discipline and drinking and having fun!"
Li Congrong's words made Fang La's men blush.
They do have a bit of a stress reaction.
Seeing the lack of confidence in everyone, Li Congrong asked: "I said that the rebel army is in danger, so I have real evidence. Everyone knows that the Song Army has 1.5 million soldiers, right?"
Everyone looked at each other and then nodded in agreement.
The Song Dynasty did have an army of 1.5 million in the Ming Dynasty, but many of the Song Dynasty's troops were underpaid. The Song Dynasty's army had a maximum of 1.2 million, and the troops that could fight were hundreds of thousands of elite troops entrenched in Xixia or Liao.
Fang La waved his hand: "Quantity does not mean combat effectiveness! Although the Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers, they are vulnerable. Wherever Yongle's army goes, they will definitely be able to defeat these people."
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you think of the power of the muskets I provided to the rebels?"
Hearing the muskets, Fang La laughed loudly: "The weapons you provided are very powerful. If the musketeers line up to fight, they can defeat a hundred."
"The Song Dynasty had more than 50,000 musketeers." Li Congrong retorted.
Fang La: "The Song Dynasty is full of people who are oppressed and unable to survive. I only need enough food and weapons to arm millions or even tens of millions of troops!"
"Your Majesty, how many people in this world are willing to rebel against the Song Dynasty with you?"
Fang La: "..."
Straight bitch.
This bastard is looking for trouble!
These words really made Fang La angry and angry.
But Li Congrong was right. Except for the people who couldn't survive, no one really wanted to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
He deceived tens of thousands of people to rebel. In fact, he used coercion and inducement to deceive people with Manichaeism.
Seeing Fang La and a group of senior officials deep in thought, Li Congrong continued: "Your Majesty, the proportion of troops in the Song Dynasty and the rebel army is different. Although the people are living a hard life, a hundred years have passed, and the Song Dynasty is in people's hearts. If you really
If you want to overthrow the Song Dynasty, you must not attack the state capital at this moment, and...you can't call yourself Yongle openly."
Hearing that he could not be the emperor, Fang La narrowed his eyes and glared at Li Congrong.
Looking at the other party's unafraid eyes, Fang La suddenly felt a little guilty.
But in the past few days, Fang La had won many battles, and a group of people below encouraged Fang La to proclaim himself emperor.
Fang La, who was confused by the desire for power, started proclaiming himself emperor before he captured the city!
This is really a beckoning from the grave - leading people to their death.
Fang La was prepared to use his own life to verify the cruel meaning of a big tree attracting the wind and a tree that is beautiful in the forest, which will be destroyed by the wind.
Fang La stared at Li Congrong, who replied with reason: "Your Majesty, do you know the meaning of the word "Shu Da Zhao Feng"? Killing officials to kill corrupt officials is not the same as killing officials to overthrow the Song Dynasty and rebel.
"
Fang La frowned slightly.
He suppressed his temper and looked at Li Congrong. He wanted a reason to convince him.
Li Congrong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said calmly: "Your Majesty, now the Song Dynasty is stronger than us and we are weak, and rashly using more than 60,000 mobs to fight against millions of elites is an act of seeking death!"
"Forgive me, don't look at the fact that the king's rebel army has won many battles, but the king can only win every battle, while the Song Dynasty has been defeated and defeated, but it can keep attacking the rebel army. The Song Dynasty lost ten times and it was still the Song Dynasty, but the king lost once
Then the body and soul will disappear!"
Hearing this, Fang La narrowed his eyes.
Loyal advice is helpful to one's actions.
Although Fang La has limited knowledge, he is not stupid.
Li Congrong's words directly pulled him back from the swelling abyss.
How could he not know that there was a huge gap in strength between himself and Da Song?
When he killed officials, he also thought about bringing some officials with good reputations and good abilities into his command.
It's a pity that I was spat on and yelled at for being a traitor.
He won over many people who could no longer survive in the local area, but when he went to other counties, he had to win over the people with killings, bloodshed, and money from the gentry.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Fang La watched as his team expanded and he was dealing with more and more affairs. After a few months, he felt powerless.
He is in a corner, while the Song Dynasty occupies the richest place in the world. If they fight for a long time, the rebel army will definitely be destroyed.
"Mr. Li, what's your opinion?" Fang La stood up and looked at Li Congrong eagerly.
Li Congrong was slightly stunned by Fang La's virtuous performance.
But when he thought of this guy's identity, Li Congrong felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, our rebel army has become the target of the Song Dynasty. I have several strategies here. I wonder which one your Majesty would like to hear?"
"Sir, please tell me in detail!"
Li Congrong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the first plan is very simple. You need to make 60,000 soldiers your loyal supporters, actively train them, and then pretend to surrender to the Song Dynasty. You can publicly say that you killed the official because he was greedy.
You are a man who is a slave to the common people and does all kinds of evil. You kill officials for the sake of the people. If the emperor shows mercy, he may spare your life! You may even get some titles!"
Hearing this, Fang La looked ugly and said: "Mr. Li, don't mention this matter again!"
"I have conquered several counties and killed so many officials and gentry. How can I still have a chance to surrender to the Song Dynasty?"
"Since the king is unwilling to put life and death at risk, there are probably only two remaining strategies."
"Sir, please tell me in detail!"
"Your Majesty, the first one is to learn how to divert trouble to the east. Do you know that the rebels who have responded to you recently have done a lot of unscrupulous things, right?"
Fang La nodded awkwardly.
"Your Majesty can give the purchased swords to these rebels to divert trouble to the east, and then you can fake your death and escape. Secretly lead the core generals and soldiers to find a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and develop silently for three to five years."
"Your Majesty, the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, is greedy, fatuous and extravagant, and the prime ministers in the court are also treacherous. The Song Dynasty will definitely decline in his hands. It will only take three to five years for the king to find an opportunity to come out and be qualified to achieve hegemony."
Hearing this, Fang La nodded, then shook his head: "This is too passive. I don't like it! What about the other one?"
The corners of Li Congrong's mouth raised slightly.
"The other strategy requires a lot of hard work, Your Majesty."
Li Congrong leaned over and told Fang La in a low voice how the plan was implemented and how to act.
After hearing Li Congrong's complete strategy, Fang La's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently.
If he followed what Li Congrong said, he would not only be able to train his soldiers, but also gain the hearts and minds of countless people.
