She Song

Chapter 118 War of words and powder keg

Rebellion is always a way to overcome the weak and the strong, and is done as a last resort. Investigating its root cause, it is nothing more than seeking survival and striving for strength.

Throughout the ages, although there have been countless rebels, there have been only a few successful people. Among them, the only one who truly rose from the grassroots and conquered the world was Zhu Chongba.

Han Xiaoyao, who is essentially a teacher, was clearly preparing for rebellion from the moment he stepped out of the grass nest.

Today, with tens of millions of money, more than a thousand warriors, and tens of thousands of people, we finally have the capital to raise an army, but we still lack some enthusiasm before we can start an uprising.

The Song Dynasty's million-strong imperial army was not terrible, but the thought of losing one of his troops to death made him more cautious, so he could only wait patiently for the opportunity.

Although Hao Ren and Xiao Fugui have different roles and reasons, Han Xiaoyao can be sure that they both sincerely want to overthrow the Song Dynasty, so they will have firm beliefs in persuading him to stay.

"There is no doubt that Han Ji and the royal family are in conflict of core interests. Sooner or later, they will fight to the death. If we cannot unite as one, a hasty attack can only be a mirror. Moving the camp is just asking for directions. Let's see how the Imperial City Division handles it?"

Hao Ren once killed all 34 people in the three government offices of Daming Prefecture in one night. He is still wanted by the government with a reward.

If he does not overthrow the Song Dynasty, he will only be beheaded.

Xiao Fugui's position is higher than that of Hao Ren, and he can see farther.

The demise of the Liao Kingdom actually had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, and the brothers' betrayal of their alliance was just an angry talk. How could there be any feelings between countries?

However, the Jurchens would not let his family of three go, so when he learned that Han Xiaoyao had a plan to destroy the Jurchens, he had no choice.

Da Song, Adou cannot be supported at all!

When Han Xiaoyao said that he was asking for directions, Xiao Fugui looked at the migration location and suddenly asked: "Did the president have other considerations in choosing Beiqiu Mountain?"

"Of course." Han Xiaoyao said with a smile: "If the imperial army keeps pressing, we must find a place for everyone to stay."

Hao Ren then looked at the map hanging on the wall.

Thirty miles north of the wasteland is Beiqiu Mountain, eighty miles northwest of Beiqiu Mountain is Fengqiu City, and 150 miles northeast is Damingfu, one of the four capitals.

With the transport capacity of Hanji's caravan, which was transformed into mules and horses, it could reach Fengqiu in one day and arrive at Damingfu City in two days.

Fengqiu only had [-] soldiers, and most of Daming Prefecture's [-] soldiers were Xiang soldiers. Although Han Ji was called a rural soldier, he actually had no trouble resisting [-] imperial troops in the field.

It seems that when it comes to breaking out, Fengqiu City will probably be captured. After all, Daming Mansion is not suitable for a surprise attack.

"Fengqiu?" Hao Ren asked.

"If there are no other changes, it will be tentatively named Fengqiu."

Xiao Fugui and Hao Ren were both speculating on Han Xiaoyao's plan.

Once the city of Fengqiu is captured, it will be an obvious rebellion. At that time, Tokyo will be full of chaos.

According to the consistent practice of the imperial court, a large army must be sent to encircle and suppress the enemy. Fengqiu city defense is low and there is no barrier outside the city. As long as the imperial army sends a cavalry, it can completely block any escape route.

If Daming Mansion is captured, the situation in terms of city defense, supplies, and troop sources will be much better, and Hao Ren is very familiar with Daming Mansion. In comparison, choosing Fengqiu will undoubtedly lead to death.

The Forbidden Army must understand this kind of common sense, and Hao Xiao and Hao Xiao are even more aware of it. Could it be that Han Xiaoyao wants to imitate Xiang Yu's strategy of risking death and surviving?

However, the situation of defending a city is different from a last-ditch battle in the wild. The Forbidden Army does not need to attack the city at all, but only needs to besiege it for a month or two. When the food in the Fengqiu is exhausted, it will naturally collapse.

After listening to their concerns, Han Xiaoyao comforted them with explanations and finally calmed them down.

Subsequently, Han Xiaoyao signed three orders.

"Hanji personnel from Caipu, banks, department stores, etc., purchased food and medicine at all costs, sealed them at nearby safe points in various cities, and were prepared to evacuate at any time."

"Hanji Caravan, in addition to necessary commodities, will purchase mules and horses, carts, medicinal materials, iron ingots, leather, sulfur and other materials as much as possible." "The Ministry of Civil Affairs is recruiting 2000 security personnel, 1000 logistics personnel, and [-] medical staff. , favorable treatment!”

As the order was issued, Han Ji's various departments began to operate at high speed and in an orderly manner. In just one hour, twenty fast horses were already rushing to all parties from the camp.

At the same time, the internal guards also received a top-secret order.

Xiao Fugui breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. Han Xiaoyao had indeed prepared a back-up plan. The matter was of great importance and he had to handle it personally.

After handing over his deputy and carefully disguising himself, Xiao Fugui quietly left Han Ji Camp.

The engineering team, transportation team, civil affairs, medical care, rural soldiers, production department and other departments, a total of [-] first batch of migrant workers, also packed up and set off towards Beiqiu Mountain.

Soon, Feng Yu received a report from the spies: something unusual happened in the Han Ji camp, and some personnel left the camp with vehicles, horses and supplies and moved north.

More than 20 fast horses left and hundreds of people headed north. Where were they going and what were they doing?

Feng Yu immediately realized that there was something fishy here, and immediately sent someone to Hanji's headquarters to inquire about the situation.

Han Ji replied: The above are all voluntary actions of refugees, and soldiers from Dibei Township have no right to interfere.

Feng Yu's nose almost turned crooked with anger.

What a spontaneous act of God!
Ask Han Ji again: The floating bridge camp has the responsibility to supervise the refugees, and the refugees are not allowed to leave without permission!
Han Ji replied: I have only heard that refugees are not allowed to cross the river, but I have never heard of prohibiting refugees from returning to their hometowns. If you want to prohibit refugees from returning to their hometowns, please get an official document from the court!

As we all know, the imperial court was happy to see the refugees return home, so Feng Yu could not issue a ban at all.

Back and forth, Fuqiao and Han Ji had a verbal spat all day long. In the evening, Feng Yu finally learned that the engineering team and transportation team sent by Han Ji had begun to build a new camp in the highlands of Beiqiu Mountain.

As the newly appointed commander of the capital, although Feng Yu was proud of his success, he also realized that he had a heavy responsibility and had to report the matter to the camp supervisor Yu Huangmen.

As Zhao Kai's confidant, Yu Huangmen was keenly aware that Han Xiaoyao planned to abandon the wilderness camp.

In this way, the plan of flooding the wasteland failed, and there must be a reason for Han Ji's sudden large-scale action.

So he hurried back to the Imperial City Division headquarters in Tokyo City.

"Your Highness, did Han Ji notice something?"

Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and nodded.

"There must be a flaw somewhere, otherwise Han Xiaoyao would never have made such a big move... They will definitely discuss such a big matter and let our people learn as much details as possible about the meeting."

While Yuhuangmen agreed, he asked: "Since Han Ji moved to the camp under the pretext of 'refugees returning home', how about finding a reason to drive them back?"

Zhao Kai thought for a while and felt that there was little point in doing it piecemeal.

If you want to control the refugees and force Han Ji to rebel, you should hit the opponent's vital parts. Only when the blow hurts will Han Xiaoyao jump back and have a chance to legitimately get military power from his father.

He thought for a while and said: "Send orders to all checkpoints to strictly inspect the Hanji caravan, especially the pontoon checkpoint. Not a single grain of rice or medicinal materials is allowed to enter the Hanji camp. In addition, monitor Hanji Bank and department stores and be ready at any time. Arrests!"

"Yes!"

Yuhuangmen immediately ordered the Imperial City Division to take various suppression measures against Han Ji, and at the same time hurried back to the pontoon camp.

However, what greeted Yuhuangmen was Han Ji's latest recruitment notice.

Actually recruiting more than [-] people at one go, Han Ji's tit-for-tat and unscrupulous attitude made Yu Huangmen faintly feel that he was sitting on a powder keg!

Han Xiaoyao, is he crazy?
