When there is a difference of opinion between the coach and the deputy coach, and it is still in the middle of a war, it is almost like committing suicide.

The dispute lasted for an hour, and only 20% supported the suppression of the resistance. The remaining people hoped to find a peaceful way to target these powerful people.

Most of the generals who proposed changing the method were from poor backgrounds. They had the talent to recognize some words and became leaders after joining the army. In the end, they were discovered and reused by Yuan Jin.

Most of the generals who supported the resistance to suppression were from good backgrounds and were very strong in strategy and martial arts.

In causing such a situation, Yuan Jin knew that he had a great responsibility. The time was too short to make them fully realize that only by overthrowing feudal rule could they truly be the masters of the country. Therefore, they were instinctively afraid when they met powerful people.

They grew up in such a social form, and the feudal rule from generation to generation was about to be shattered suddenly. It is normal for them to have hesitation and hesitation. Things that are too beautiful are always afraid of being shattered.

Afraid of being dominated again.

In the past ten years in the Northland, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, with neither banditry nor heavy taxes. It makes them believe that everyone can really be equal, but also makes them worry that everything is just a dream.

Yuan Jin calmly assessed the situation and analyzed the pros and cons. "They will not be grateful for a gentler approach, but will accumulate strength to come back. If these people are allowed to hold the land and power in their own hands, what will happen to them?"

More brutal and darker than now."

"I don't want to let them take power again and pass it on from generation to generation. You can see how good the atmosphere in the Northland is." The commander of the cavalry division answered, "Do you still want to go back to the time when the city lord didn't appear?

It’s desolate, the population is less than a million, they have nothing to eat but sell their children to make ends meet?”

Generals who did not support the suppression were speechless.

"If we are kind to them today, why should we revolt? We have been oppressed by them and let them take their slaves to occupy land and properties, and rob wives and daughters." Another division commander said, "None of you joined the army voluntarily.

Do you still have to live such a hard life?"

"However." The generals who did not support the suppression spoke out in unison.

"The reason why the power in their hands has been passed down from generation to generation is because they have never been beaten and hurt, because the emperor needs them to maintain stability." Yuan Jin said unhurriedly, "We can beat them and hurt them so that the people can truly be human beings instead of slaves.

."

"Do you not believe that I can make Dasheng a better place, or do you not believe that you can overthrow these nobles and noble families who have enjoyed the blessings of the people for hundreds of thousands of years?" Yuan Jin's tone increased, "The arrow is on the string, and hesitation at this time is the result of military strategists.

Big taboo.”

The tent suddenly became quiet.

"Even if they unite, they are just a mob. Our soldiers have been trained for ten years. Why are we worried?" Yuan Jinba said in a loud voice, "Are we worried that they will gain power one day and settle accounts with you? We have soldiers in our hands and the support of the people outside.

There’s nothing to panic about.”

"General, we were wrong." Several generals who did not support the suppression lowered their heads in shame.

Yuan Jin softened his tone, re-analyzed the situation at hand, and planned the upcoming battle with King Jin.

King Jin's army had 70,000 troops, and its weapons and equipment were obviously not as good as theirs, but the food and grass preparations were extremely sufficient.

In the past ten years, the King of Qi and the King of Jin have raised private soldiers in the fiefdoms to collect money for the sake of imperial power, and the people have suffered miserably. In addition, natural disasters have occurred frequently in these years, and the population data obtained from a rough survey shows that the entire Dasheng has gone from nearly 7,000 five years ago.

From a population of 10,000 to less than 50 million now.

The Jiangnan area to the south of the Central Plains is a little better. There has been almost no new population in the Central Plains area in the past five years. Those who can go to the south have fled to the south, and those who can go to the north have also fled.

The common people who could not leave all became the cornerstone of the Jin king's fight for imperial power.

"The King of Jin's army has been marching for eight consecutive days. It is estimated that it will be repaired for one day when it arrives at Linjiang Prefecture. The first and second battalions of the Cold Arrow Brigade were broken into pieces and entered Linjiang Prefecture first, controlling the garrison battalion to receive our army into the city." Yuan Jinna said.

The Qitu pole pointed at the sand table and said, "After the King of Jin was eliminated in Linjiang Mansion, the team continued to move forward and rushed to Lucheng to intercept the King of Qi's army."

"The third, fourth, and fifth battalions of the Cold Arrow Brigade can enter the prefectures and counties along the King of Qi's route to Beijing in advance, cut off their food, and assassinate senior generals." The deputy general walked to Yuan Jin and took down the small Linjiang Prefecture flag on the sand table.

, "Linjiang Mansion is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so we must capture Linjiang Mansion and snipe the Jin King's army before the Jin King's army."

The generals have no objection to this battle plan.

That night, the army was divided into small groups and continued the urgent march to Linjiang Prefecture. Since all the soldiers were equipped with marching backpacks and individual soldier rations, their whereabouts after being dispersed were unpredictable. There was also a reconnaissance brigade clearing the way ahead, so the spies sent by the King of Jin were killed.

It just returns in vain.

Two days later, Yuan Jin and a group of generals entered Linjiang Mansion, and the army from the North entered the city one day earlier than the army of the King of Jin.

It was already dawn when the deployment was completed.

Yuan Jin stood on the city wall, holding a telescope that took several years to make, and carefully observed the movements outside the city.

"The reconnaissance camp came to report that the Jin King's army was divided into three groups. In two hours, they will enter our ambush area and prepare to encircle Linjiang Mansion." The deputy general handed the battle report to Yuan Jin, "While they are exhausted, we

Try to win it at once."

"It's best to capture the King of Jin alive if we fight quickly." Yuan Jin handed him the telescope casually, "The recovery of the area south of the Yangtze River was relatively smooth. The specially trained navy and cold arrow brigade special warfare battalion received good news. Again.

In twenty days, the whole Jiangnan area can be captured, and the officials responsible for the resettlement work in various prefectures and counties are already on the way."

She conquered a city and left corresponding officials to deal with post-war matters. All officials were escorted by Song Yunce and Qu Ruyun and followed the marching route of the rebel army.

The same arrangement is used here. The accompanying officials who capture a city will take over the jurisdiction of that city.

Over the past ten years, she has carefully trained thousands of reserve officers, and it's time to put them into action.

Outside Linjiang Mansion.

Xiao Mingchu was sitting in the Chinese army tent, reading through the reports sent by spies from various places.

There is no clear clue as to who is commanding the rebel army that suddenly appeared. According to information from the North, some say that the city lord who caused the incident is a woman, some say that it is a man, but even the gender cannot be determined.

Sure.

The only thing that is certain is that the people in the north have been well-fed and clothed in the past ten years. No matter how much the imperial court increases the amount of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people will not be affected.

The spies sent to the Northland came to report that this time the rebel army set out from the Northland, and the people lined the streets to greet them.

"Your Majesty, the 30,000 soldiers we kept at Lenggu Pass have rebelled against the rebel army." The deputy general who had followed Xiao Mingchu for many years looked ashen as he held the newly delivered intelligence report.

"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the insurrectionary army still cannot be traced. The general feels that we cannot go to Linjiang Mansion." The deputy general of the army looked down at the advance report on the case and said hesitantly, "The spies have been exploring for several days, and the army of tens of thousands of people has been discovered.

Not even a trace was left behind."

In the city occupied by the rebels, the people were as happy as during the New Year, and were not attacked by the rebels as they expected.

"However, Linjiang Mansion, the trip to Beijing will be delayed for five days. Do you want my brother, the king, to get there first?" Xiao Mingchu turned his head and stared at the sand table, gritted his teeth and said, "Explore and report again, and we must bring the rebels to

Find out his whereabouts."

The reinforcements are gone. The discipline of the rebel army is so strict. Who will be the leader?

Zhao Yingwu did not leave Langgu Pass, Liang Shoubei fell ill, and the spies were unable to confirm whether it was true.

How could he command hundreds of thousands of rebels with only one garrison and no helpers?

There are about 80,000 rebels starting from Gancheng, and there are about 70,000 rebels in Jiangnan. The two forces are encircling Shangjing, and Liang Defei does not have the ability to be a commander.

"Yes." The deputy general said in response.

Xiao Mingchu summoned the generals to discuss the possible situation in Linjiang Mansion and discussed it for another half an hour before the army continued to march towards Linjiang Mansion.

Entering the boundaries of Linjiang Prefecture, spies came to report, but the whereabouts of the rebels were still not found.

Xiao Mingchu had a vague premonition and summoned a group of generals and advisers together for discussion. He pointed at the landmarks on the map and frowned irritably, "The nearly 100,000 troops, whether they are camping outside or occupying the city, should always stay behind.

Leave clues."

Ever since we left the fiefdom, every battle report we received along the way showed that the rebels had occupied the city.

"I heard that the commander-in-chief of the rebel army was a master of military skills and had planned for a long time. All the rebels who rose up in the south of the Yangtze River were familiar with water. They were also equipped with sheepskin bags, so they would not drown even if they fell into the water." Someone said weakly.

Xiao Mingchu glared at the adviser and ordered to continue with a cold face.

At the last moment, the army entered the last valley in front of Linjiang Mansion. Dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the sound of explosions in the valley shook the earth.

The surprise attack came without any warning, and the troops and horses were frightened. For a moment, the shouts of killing resounded in the sky, but they didn't know where the enemy was.

"Protect the prince!" The guard's eyes turned red with anger. He waved his sword to cut off the flow, while protecting Xiao Mingchu and retreating.

But at this moment, a hail of arrows and bursts of explosions also came from behind the army.

“Those who lay down their arms and surrender will not be killed; those who lay down their arms and surrender will not be killed; those who lay down their arms and surrender will not be killed.”

"You have been heavily surrounded, and those who resist will only die! You have been surrounded heavily, and those who resist will only die!"

The shouts that rang out simultaneously from the front and back of the valley reached the ears of King Qin’s army over and over again.

The heartbreaking movement and the seemingly unending rain of arrows made many soldiers choose to put down their weapons.

The arrow rain gradually stopped, and a man's confident voice came from the valley again, "Those who surrendered lined up to leave the valley. Do not try to resist, otherwise they will be shot without mercy."

Xiao Mingchu's body was stained with the blood of his guards, and he watched helplessly as King Qin's army, which he had planned for ten years, collapsed into a pile of loose sand and fell to the ground slumped.

"Your Majesty? What should we do now?" The leader of the secret guards pulled him up, feeling unbearable with grief and anger.

The secret guard camp of 500 people now has less than 100 people left, and the lieutenants suffered heavy casualties. Those arrows seemed to have eyes, and they were specifically aimed at the prince and the generals and advisers.

"Kill out? Who can kill out?" Xiao Mingchu squeezed out a hoarse laugh from his chest, "Can you, or can he?"

His great cause was completely over, and he was defeated by the rebel army that appeared out of nowhere.

The leader of the secret guard gritted his teeth and nodded, "I can!"

However, as soon as he took a step forward, an arrow whizzed in the cold wind and penetrated his chest instantly.

Xiao Mingchu's heart skipped a beat, and the last trace of luck left in his heart was completely shattered.

Two days later.

Xiao Mingchu, who was captured alive by the rebel soldiers, finally saw this elusive army commander.

He was escorted in front of Yuan Jin by Jiang Ping and Liang Shoubei. The moment he saw the other commander, his pupils shrank, "It's you?!"

The general behind the scenes who controlled the rebel army as if it were a regular army was actually his concubine Zhao Yuanjin who had been dead for ten years!

He knew she was not dead.

"Can't it be me?" Yuan Jin nodded his chin towards the chair next to him, gesturing for him to sit down, "Speaking of which, if I can succeed, I have to thank King Jin for the silver he gave me back then."

Now a division commander, Liang Shoubei turned his face and looked aside, trying hard not to laugh.

The King of Jin must have never thought that when he was tricked in Xingcheng, it was all the work of the city lord. Whether it was the money given or the private soldiers stuffed into the recruits for the court to raise, they were all taken care of by the city lord.

"Zhao Yuanjin, do you think you can rule the world if you win?" Xiao Mingchu, with many emotions such as annoyance, resentment, contempt, etc., sneered in his heart, "You are just a woman, how can these people tolerate you marrying and having children?"

Will I have to submit to you for the rest of my life?"

How could it be her?

If I had found out earlier that Zhao Shulan did not have medical skills, found out that she was the one who saved me, and found out that she was the junior sister in the medical clinic, would the outcome have been different?

"Prince Jin doesn't need to worry about this. If you see him, take him down and put him under house arrest. Don't allow him to seek death." Yuan Jin waved his hand to the guards to take him down.

Xiao Mingchu choked, his lips moved for a long time and he couldn't say a word.

Quietness returned to the tent.

Yuan Jin took out the map and arranged a battle plan to encircle the King of Qi.

The more than 40,000 Qinwang soldiers who were captured under Xiao Mingchu and who were willing to join the rebel army were assigned to each battalion after completing their identity registration.

If you don't want to, give me a severance package and go home on your own.

There were quite a few people who were willing to stay. The number of rebels who originally occupied the Central Plains was around 80,000, but their number suddenly reached 100,000.

It would take at most two days for the King of Qi to receive the news that the King of Jin had been captured. With the speed of their march, it would take them three days to reach Lucheng by traveling day and night.

The rebel army was already very close to Shangjing at this time. They could capture Shangjing first, capture the emperor who fled to the palace alive, and then go to Lucheng to block him.

But Yuan Jin doesn't plan to do this.

The emperor was hiding in the palace. The King of Chu's ascension to the throne was not justified. In addition, King Qin's army and the rebel army were about to invade Shangjing. He would definitely attack the emperor first.

In this way, they save a process and only need to deal with the King of Qi and the King of Chu.

"Go to Beijing to report that the new emperor's imperial army has arrived at the palace and will launch an attack at Yinshi tonight." Jiang Ping handed the report to Yuan Jin, "There are some obstacles in Jiangnan. I'll go over and take a look."

"Okay, we will take care of things in Beijing soon." Yuan Jin took the information and looked at it, agreeing with his decision.

The wealthy emperors in the south of the Yangtze River had many relatives, and the number of guards from each family together was quite large.

"Before the Spring Festival, we will definitely capture Shangjing." Jiang Ping smiled and took out another letter and handed it to her, "General Zhao has arrived with his letter and the report of the battle in the North. Everything is fine in the North, and the Tatar army is

The heavy cavalry battalion withdrew on the third day after being bombarded by divine artillery."

Yuan Jin glanced at him, took Zhao Yingwu's letter and opened it.

As expected, the Tatars had hidden evil intentions and sent 30,000 troops to test the city and dispatched a heavy cavalry battalion. The defenders used the artillery she built to blow up the heavy cavalry battalion and the Tatar commander was captured.

In exchange for the coach, the Tatars signed an unequal treaty with the current deputy mayor of Dengcheng. In the future, the food entering the Tatars will be reduced by 10% in cloth tax.

In addition, a thousand fine war horses will be sent to the city.

It seems that the Tatars were beaten very painfully. The heavy cavalry battalion has always been their pride and their invincible ace army, but it was defeated when they climbed the city.

After Yuan Jin read the letter, he thought about it and wrote a reply to Zhao Yingwu.

In the past ten years, the relationship between their father and daughter has become deeper and deeper, and their defenses against each other have long been eliminated. Like most men of this era, he seems to be not enthusiastic about power, but once he has the foundation to control power, he will still be ready to take action.

.

The words of "New National Policy" worked well at first. When he discovered that half of the cities in the North were under her jurisdiction and saw that the people only recognized her as the city lord, his mentality was still a little unbalanced.

Fortunately, she started early, and most of the people she brought were observed and trained, and she didn't give him too many opportunities to intervene.

Later, he discovered that reading the "New National Policy" and implementing the above policies were two different things, so he stopped completely and became An Xin's backing.

He wrote this letter not because he wanted to pick fruits, but because he really wanted to go back to his home in Shangjing to take a look.

I want to offer my wife a stick of incense.

After being away from home for more than 20 years, the court did not allow him to return to Beijing and did not give him money or food. He suffered for many years. Now that he is back, it is actually a good time. Going to Beijing is still the same Shangjing he is familiar with.

It won't be the case in a few years.

Yuan Jin wrote the letter and handed it to Jiang Ping, smiling and saying, "Tell the person who sent the letter to tell his father that he will definitely win it before he goes to Beijing."

Jiang Ping nodded with a smile, put away the letter, and walked out of the handsome tent holding his helmet.

Yuan Jin curled his lips and continued to lay out the battle plan.

When King Qi learned that King Qin's army was ambushed and defeated in a valley, he would definitely learn a lesson and take a route without valleys. They had to choose a place suitable for an ambush and with less battle damage to catch them off guard.

In the battle of Linjiang Prefecture, more than a thousand soldiers of the rebel army were killed, which made her very depressed.

The ambush location was determined, and the army marched quickly overnight towards Lucheng.

Half a month later.

The rebel army captured the King of Chu, Xiao Mingze, who had not even been able to sit firmly on the throne. He was trapped in the palace for ten days and had to surrender with a group of concubines, princes and princesses.

He knelt on the ground and slowly raised his head, seeing clearly that the leader of the rebel army was actually a woman, or Zhao Yuanjin, who had been dead for ten years. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "Zhao Yuanjin, you are not dead?"

Ten years ago, when Zhao Yuanjin went to the bookstore and was kidnapped, he saw the whole process but did not help.

He knew that King Jin wanted to use Zhao Yuanjin as a chess piece, so he deliberately looked on with a cold eye.
