The thieves who jumped off the lake did not escape the baptism of the musketeers, especially after Wang Zhuang pulled out the iron rope and the warship entered the Llama Lake, those ordinary boats were completely turned into pigs and sheep to be slaughtered in front of the warships equipped with artillery.

However, the rabble saved most people's lives because of their lack of discipline, and a dozen ships of various sizes fled almost indiscriminately in all directions, so that the fleet only sank five ships, and the rest ran away.

"Damn, it's really fast. ”

Wang Zhuang scolded and got off the boat, escorted a thief with a big tie to Chang Wei, and said, "My lord, this kid is a leader, just now I saw him commanding his men on the dirt bag." ”

Chang Wei saw that this person was not very old, and his delicate face was far more curious than afraid, so he asked, "You are members of the White Lotus Cult, right? What is your name?"

"My name is Cheng Shiyu, Xing Er, everyone calls me Cheng Er, and I am a small leader of the White Lotus Sect Weishan County Branch. I didn't think you were really an official soldier, and I dare to ask where you are?"

Wang Zhuang scolded: "Boy, we are not an official army! See clearly, this is Lord Chang of Jinyi Wei, and we are the righteous and brave under Lord Chang." ”

"Lord Jinyi Wei Chang, you are Chang Wei!" Cheng Shiyu exclaimed: "No wonder your subordinates are so capable of fighting, and losing in your hands is not a loss." ”

Chang Weiqi said: "You know me?"

Cheng Shiyu said: "Who in the White Lotus Sect doesn't know the wisdom of Lord Chang?"

"Wise, I'm afraid it's infamy. "Chang Wei is not only Waner.

"Hey, hey!"

Cheng Shiyu laughed dryly twice and said, "After the disciples of the Fengyang Holy Mother Sect were exterminated by the adults, the White Lotus Sect hated the adults to the core. This time, Fan Protector said that he came to snatch your war horse, and I beat a drum in my heart. It's just that I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and the battle is so powerful, it's really better to see than to hear. ”

Chang Wei saw that this person knew a lot, so he asked his subordinates to untie him, and Wang Zhuang hurriedly said: "This kid is good, if he wasn't stunned by the waves of the cannon, he really wouldn't be able to catch him." ”

Hu Yang smiled and said, "Wang Cannon, what are you talking about? Can he be better than adults?"

"I'm also kind, isn't it?...... what are you yelling about?" Chang Wei hurriedly interrupted the shouting of the two, loosened the tie and thanked Chang Wei and everyone politely.

Chang Wei asked, "I think you are quite a clever person, how did you enter the White Lotus Sect? Do you know that this kind of cult is all about cheating people out of money?"

"Yes, yes!"

Cheng Shiyu moved his numb arms that were tied twice, and said with a bitter face: "Isn't it my father, he is an old man who has been clever for half his life, but when he is old, he believes in the nonsense of the White Lotus Sect, and donates all the wealth of more than 100,000 families to the sect to be a incense master, saying 'no old mother, White Lotus saves the world'." I became a disciple of the White Lotus Sect in a daze, and the whole family entered the den of thieves, what could I do? ”

This guy is a person who understands, Chang Wei said: "The Fan Protector you said is Fan Zhen?"

"It's him, Fan Zhen has blockaded Handian Island and wants to seize the horses as soon as possible. Our gang is responsible for blocking the mouth of the Yanghe River to prevent reinforcements from the officers and troops. In the east, there are still thousands of people blocking the mouth of the Yi River, and the only way left at the exit of Luoma Lake is the river channel to the north and Weishan Lake. ”

Without waiting for Chang Wei to ask, Cheng Shiyu took the initiative to tell all the current situation.

This made Chang Wei a little surprised, "If you tell me all this information, aren't you afraid that the White Lotus Sect will settle accounts with your family?"

"Hehe, everyone was busy running for their lives just now, who cares about me. ”

Cheng Shiyu shook his head and said: "Besides, the White Lotus Sect is also precarious now, plus these divine soldiers and generals, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before it will perish." ”

Wang Zhuang couldn't help but interject and said, "But your family is in the White Lotus Sect, aren't you kid worried about your family?"

Cheng Shiyu sighed with a sad face: "What's the use of worrying? I have persuaded me dozens of times, but they swore to live and die with the White Lotus Sect as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, and warned me: If you dare to be disrespectful to the Holy Sect, you will denounce me and burn me to death." ”

"I've been arrested by adults now, so I can save my life and leave a family for me. If I'm finished, I'll end up in a family. ”

Hu Yang was surprised: "How do you know that my family will not cut you?"

Cheng Shiyu shouted: "Hey, I said big brother, I am so cooperative, I have said everything that should be said and what should not be said." Lord Chang is always embarrassed to kill me, right? Lord Chang is an official of the imperial court, how could he kill me, a little grass man who has gone astray and actively cooperated?"

Wang Zhuang, Hu Yang and the others laughed together, "Hahaha! This kid is really clever." ”

Chang Wei felt more and more interesting about this guy, "It's easy to survive, as long as you tell everything you know, I'll let you go." Let's start with the current situation of the White Lotus Sect!"

"Yes......"

After the White Lotus Sect leader Xu Hongru got up, he proclaimed himself Emperor Fulie of Zhongxing, changed the name of the year to the first year of Dacheng Xingsheng, and sealed: Chen Canyu was the right prime minister, and his younger brother Xu Heyu was the king of heroes.

There are also Jingzhou Yu Hongzhi, Caozhou Zhang Shipei, Hebei Wuyi Liu Yongming and other people to respond, and the momentum is greatly boosted for a while.

Xu Hongru and others planned: "Xu Huai, Chen, Ying, Qi, Huang in the south, intercept grain transportation in the middle, and reach Shenjing in the north, and be the emperor and king." intends to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and change the dynasty.

In order to avoid worries, Xu Hongru captured Weishan County and placed his family in Shuibo Liangshan, which is high and wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Cheng Shiyu's family joined the White Lotus Sect at this time.

Xu Hongru said that the emperor led the army to break Yuncheng and Juye one after another, and everywhere he went, he opened warehouses to release grain, relieved the people, and was disciplined and did not harm the common people, so in a short period of time, it grew to more than 100,000 people.

At the beginning of June, Xu Hongru marched eastward, crossed the canal, conquered Zou County and Teng County, and finally gained great prestige, and his command grew to more than 300,000 people.

Just as Chang Wei said to Wei Liangdong at the beginning: "If Jining is lost, the country's road to advance and retreat will be poor", Xu Hongru also realized the importance of Jining and intended to lead the army to storm this important node on the canal.

The imperial court urgently ordered Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, and Yang Zhaoji, the former general of Datong, to suppress Xu Hongru with all their might. In addition, Meng Chengguang, the sixty-sixth grandson of Mencius, also led Xiangyong to assist the official army in attacking Zou County, which ended in Meng Chengguang being killed.

Xu Hongru made great efforts to manage Zou County, and sent his subordinates to attack Yanzhou, Qufu, Rizhao, Tancheng, and even extended his troops to Pei County, Xuzhou, completely paralyzing the Jining section of the Grand Canal.

Under the strict orders of the imperial court, Yang Guosheng and Liao Dong, the capital of Shandong, joined forces to encircle them, and finally defeated Xu Hongru's expeditionary army and recovered Yuncheng County.

In mid-June, when Yang Guosheng and Liao Dong joined forces to attack Zou County, Xu Hongru made a decisive decision, gave up Juye and marched eastward, broke through the back road of the official army, and relieved the siege of Zou County.

In July, Xu Hongru broke through the important town of Xia Town, intercepted 40 official grain ships, killed the official general Zhang Bang, and beat Yang Guosheng to flee in embarrassment, thus harvesting a large amount of grain, grass and weapons.

In August, Zhao Yan and Yang Zhaoji were defeated, and at the end of the month, Liao Dong was defeated again, and there were few soldiers who dared to fight in Shandong. The counties and governments can only defend the city by themselves and sit back and watch Xu Hongru attack and kill.

In September, the imperial court could no longer sit still, and the emperor personally decreed that Yuan Keli, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, should be established as the capital of Shandong. As soon as Yuan Keli took office in mid-September, he summoned more than 10,000 volunteers from the militia group to attack Xu Hongru's old nest Weishan Lake around the mountain road.

Xu Hongru was shocked, and immediately withdrew the troops of the expedition from all sides, retreated to Zou County and Teng County with all his might, and defended Weishan Lake, and the predicament in various places was lifted immediately.

Yuan Keli's subordinates were all newly recruited soldiers, and they didn't dare to fight hard, so they retreated to Jining to train their troops, and Xu Hongru was also afraid that Yuan Keli would not dare to go around to fight again, so the situation was quiet for a while.

Chang Wei was overjoyed, "It's great news that Yuan Keli is back again!" (To be continued.) )
