Chapter 505 Three thousand rebels, nearly a hundred artillery?!

The news in Guangzhou has been completely cut off the day after they saw the newspaper. Although they still can't understand the truth of this rebellion, there is no doubt that they can control Liangguang in such a short time, and the green camps of Liangguang seem to resist it. There is no power, so it is indeed very likely to be the same as what the newspaper said. The Green Camp must have participated in it, and there are definitely a lot of them.

In addition, Zailian remembered that the admiral of the Fujian Marine Division went to Taiwan Island a month ago to question Wu Liang, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, but there was no news. When the two were connected, everything became clear.

And who is the mastermind? He has pointed directly to the general of Guangdong Marine Division: Liang Pengfei, the general of Humen Town, Guangdong Marine Division.

Especially after the analysis of Changlin, who had just left Guangdong, to those Fujian and Zhejiang officials, Kui Lun felt that he was more than 90% sure that he must have done it. Because after Changlin straightened things out, he let Fujian and Zhejiang officials understand this truth.

First, Wu Liang used to be a soldier of Taiwan's Penghu Water Division Association. Later, with Admiral Cai who stayed in Guangdong for less than two years and then transferred to Taiwan, it didn't seem to have much to do with Guangdong, but in fact, he was pulled up by Liang Pengfei with one hand, and his position was obtained by Liang Pengfei himself.

As for why his generals dared to rebel against the court and defected to Liang Pengfei, who is now only standing side by side with him, this has become a doubt in the hearts of all officials.

Second, among the Guangdong sailors, Wang Shouli has always served as Liang Pengfei's boss, and the two of them are completely grasshoppers on a rope. As for the martial arts, he was just a servant of the Liang family at the beginning, but he was promoted by Liang Pengfei and eventually became the general of a navy.

In addition, his uncle, his father-in-law, both of whom are well-known thirteen-line bosses. It can be said that in the past few years, with their expansion, coupled with the support and cover of Liang Pengfei and his network, has completely replaced Jin merchants, Huai merchants and Hui merchants, and Hui merchants, and has become the whole continent. The largest and most powerful business group.

Of course, don't forget that although Liang Pengfei's reputation among the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi is notorious and regarded by those officials as enemies, he has a high reputation among the people, whether it is running a college, building a school, or donating money to run a group training, building roads, or opening a large factory to recruit exiles and The local poor people's policy of benefiting the people is enough to make those simple people grateful to Liang Pengfei, the general soldier.

--------------------

Besides, the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi used to be harassed by pirates. After Liang Pengfei's appearance, he mentioned a string of pirates from time to time. Although he had a cruel and easy-to-kill reputation, the people were no longer harassed by pirates, and the fishermen's food and clothing were also settled. Who else could he be grateful to if he was not grateful to?

In addition, the publicity department under Liang Pengfei's hands is exaggerated, which makes his prestige among small and medium-sized landlords and merchants reach a very high level. It can be said that Liang Pengfei is completely a high-level image in the people of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he can almost use his portrait as a door god.

Therefore, today's Liang Pengfei, in the eyes of the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi, is like a terrible spider with strong poison, criscristed in Liangguang, involving countless misplaced relationship networks. Anyone who wants to touch him has to think about the consequences. But the more so, the more he was hated by those officials, which was one of the reasons why Mr. Zhu wanted to use him.

Old man Zhu believes too much in the court, or he believes too much in his own ability. He thinks that with his means and the backing of Prince Jia in the court, Liang Pengfei is a small and powerful soldier in the place. Why don't he let him hold it in the palm of his hand?

However, Changlin knows very well what Liang Pengfei's surname is. He is simply a living bandit in the circle of literati, and he is also a scoundrel with a murder weapon on his waist. He doesn't cause trouble for three days.

It is precisely because he sees who Liang Pengfei is that he can live in peace with Liang Pengfei. The important thing is that he is not willing to deal with Liang Pengfei at all. Everything can be dealt with by the smooth Wang Shouli, Liang Pengfei's direct boss.

Of course, Changlin did not know. At that time, Liang Pengfei himself was not ready to rebel, so the two of them were safe with each other. The famous scholar Zhu stupidly wanted to kill chickens and monkeys with Liang Pengfei. As a result, he became the best excuse for Liang Pengfei's rebellion, who was ready to launch an uprising. This can't Not to mention that the arrangement of fate is so wonderful.

Just as high-level officials in Fujian, they are still arguing freely, and they have not fully come to a conclusion. On the one hand, they strictly ordered local officials to thoroughly investigate and confiscate those leaflets and newspapers. The Zhangzhou Government Office in southern Fujian, Pinghe County, Zhao'an County, Yunxiao Hall and Zhangpu at the border of Zhangzhou Prefecture and Guangdong have already cooperated with those local group training. Under the cover, he fell into the big hands of the Liang family army, which had been in place for a long time. Heng Rui, the commander of Zhangzhou Town, was killed by heavy artillery, and countless of his deputy generals surrendered.

And the government of Nating Prefecture and the Longyan Prefecture of Liancheng, Shanghang, Yongding and Wuping counties have also been conquered one after another in just a few days.

Mal Zhan, the commander-in-chief of Tingzhou Town, led the town's pacesetters to rescue Liancheng, but he was robbed and killed by the Liang family's army halfway. More than half of the 2,000 soldiers and horses in the town were killed and injured. Mal Zhan fled back to Tingzhou Prefecture only to escape. When the Liang's army chased the Shaowu City, Mal Zhan ignored the persuasion of the Tingzhou magistrate and led the Tingzhou garrison out of the east gate. If you want to escape to Fuzhou, of course, you can't be called an escape. According to the general, it is a strategic transfer.

As a result, Liang's army only fired a few shots, and the governor of Tingzhou Prefecture had no choice but to surrender. In less than half a month, the whole territory of Guangdong, most of Guangxi, southern Yunnan, and southern Fujian were almost in the hands of Liang Pengfei.

By the time Fuzhou got the news, almost half of the southwestern part of Fujian had fallen into the hands of the Liang family's rebels. Those dignitaries in Fuzhou City almost scared the news into a psychopath.

Now he was really panicked. However, fortunately, Changlin and Kui Lun were also people who had experienced great things. They soon studied countermeasures with a group of Fujian and Zhejiang officials. Kui Lun, the general of Fuzhou, immediately began to summon soldiers and horses. Whether it was the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, they could concentrate in a short time, and almost all of them were pulled. After coming out, at least he gathered 18,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered the Fujian Admiral Li Nanxin to lead 3,000 troops and horses south to rush to Putian Prefecture to control the enemy.

And Kui Lun led the main force of 15,000 soldiers and horses to Yongchun Prefecture, intending to block the rebel army in the mountainous area of Fujian. Of course, for the safety of Fuzhou, more than 300 riders were transferred from the 3,8 flags of Fuzhou. The rest will naturally stay in Fuzhou City to maintain the security and guard of Fuzhou City with the only remaining battalion of Fuzhou City Association.

--------------------

But he used the fastest speed to summon the army and used the grain and fodder of the direct treasury. In just three and a half days, the 15,000 troops were dispatched from Fuzhou. Compared with the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty, Kui Lun still had a good way to govern the army, but even so, Kui Lun did not expect it. His speed is already extraordinary, but his opponent's power is so terrible.

Now, Kui Lun and his soldiers have just entered Yongchun Prefecture, not far away, and even less than an hour after passing through Dehua County, they have received a letter of help sent by Zhizhou, Yongchun Prefecture.

"With Liang as the banner, the soldiers are fierce and aggressive. They must be the first in every battle. Most of them are firearms, and there are few swords and soldiers. Every time they are about to fight, they must fire a hundred cannons together. The sound will shake a hundred miles and destroy the city and pull out the fortress..." Riding on the horse of the battle, Kui Lun, who was wearing armor, looked at the subordinate who was reading the military newspaper with a blue face. The East Gate of Yongchun Prefecture has been in danger. I'm afraid that the destruction of Yongchun Prefecture will come again. I hope the general will rescue it as soon as possible!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Liang thieves who came to attack Yongchun Prefecture?" Kui Lun asked in a low voice to Yongchunzhou, who was still kneeling in front of the horse and panting. It's dark and cold in my heart. How many people are there in the beam thief? In the end, it was all bad news. It seems that the whole southern part of Fujian has been attacked crazily.

"There are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses at most." The messenger thought for a thought and replied with great certainty.

"With less than three thousand horses?" Kui Lun couldn't help raising his eyebrows and looking at the messenger in a suspicious tone. The wall of Yongchun Prefecture is high and the city is thick, which is one of the strong cities in Fujian, but your Zhizhou says that the city is about to be broken. What's the reason?!"

"Your Excellency, the other party's artillery is powerful." The messenger replied quickly.

"Cannons? My terrain in Fujian is rugged. Where did the other side come from hundreds of artillery?!" Kui Lun said coldly. Three thousand people, hundreds of artillery, don't you know that the birds in their hands are regarded as cannons?

"General, the other party does have a lot of artillery, and it is extremely powerful. Every cannon hit has the power of heaven and earth. If a short column of incense is not enough, it will flatten our Dongmen Tower in Yongchun Prefecture. If Lord Zhizhou hadn't personally gone to the city to stimulate morale, if those anti-thieves had promised us for half a day. Considering the time, I'm afraid it's..."

Hearing what the messenger said, several generals around Quiron couldn't help taking a breath. A general who turned out to be the Eight Banners Firearms Camp of the Beijing Normal University straightened his eyes: "This... This is unlikely, isn't it? Even if we are 15,000 soldiers and horses, we carry only a few small cannons. If we can bombard a gate tower in a column of incense, it must be at least about 5,000 catties of artillery to have this ability, and at least dozens of guns.

"Three thousand anti-thieves, there are dozens of cannons of about 5,000 catties, is this possible?" A general next to him looked unbelievable.
