Chapter 1150: Let Mu Guangling pick him up It was dusk when the news came, and Fang Jie was sitting on a small boat going eastward. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Xiao Riding School has a complete and extremely effective set of contact methods, so Fang Jie can get in touch at any time when he is outside the army. Chen Xiaoru improved on the original secret communication method of the Ouchi Guards Office, and coupled with Fang Jie's guidance based on some things from the past life, the efficiency of the Xiaoqi Riding School was shocking. "Our navy won." Liao Sheng handed the secret report to Fang Jie: "The two generals Duan Zheng and Zheng Qiu jointly commanded, and the navy won a great victory. But the main reason was the action of those Jianghu people, which completely disrupted the situation. The command of the foreign navy. There are indeed not many god-killing musketeers in the foreign navy, and they are all beside that general. "What's the loss?" Fang Jie asked. After giving a detailed report, Liao Sheng said: "The loss is not very big. In addition, it is estimated that the meteorites transported from Chang'an City will take at least two months to reach Eastern Xinjiang. General Yan Kuang had to choose the flattest continent to travel, and the goods The ships going down from Tongtian can wait on the bank of the Yangtze River. They haven't boarded the ship yet when the news came." Fang Jie nodded: "There is no need to rush, and there is no need to rush." ??He thought for a while and said: " You go contact the Knight Riding School in Muping City and instruct them to start assassinating the foreigners in the city. The higher the status, the sooner they will start. After killing, hang the bodies in Gaochang so that the people of Muping City can see them. Now is the place where the foreign power is the most stable. It must be leveraged." "Here" Liao Sheng responded and said: "General Nalan's team attacked the granary of Mu Mansion. When they retreated, Mu Mansion's troops caught up. Neither side intends to fight immediately. However, the food will be held up halfway, and the people of Mu Mansion should be waiting for reinforcements, and once General Nalan withdraws, he will be chased by Mu Mansion soldiers. "Bite, the situation is not very good." Fang Jie ordered: "Urgently mobilize Chen Dingnan's cavalry to rush for reinforcements. Now the teams of Chen Dingnan and Chen Banshan are closest to Nalan. It will only take six or seven days at most for the cavalry to rush over at the fastest speed. Let Chen Banshan lead the large group of troops to continue walking to Phoenix Terrace. Any foreign troops encountered on the way will be dealt with on the spot. They will not encounter the main force of foreigners along the way. Every stronghold they pass will be given to me. Pull it out. Then the Xiaoqiu School wants to spread this news to the maximum extent, so that the people of Eastern Xinjiang can hear this good news again and again." Liao Sheng thought for a while, and then understood what Fang Jie meant. Now Eastern Xinjiang does not lack the troops to resist foreigners, but it lacks inspiring morale. What Fang Jie has been worried about is that the people are gradually adapting to a life ruled by foreigners. If that happens, the war will become more and more difficult. If even the common people regard this war as having nothing to do with them, then the progress of the war will become slower and slower. As long as news of victory continues to spread, people will feel that victory is getting closer and closer. "Also" Fang Jie thought for a while and then continued: "Send someone to tell Marquis Sanjin to take over Shanhaiguan. Regardless of whether the defenders in Shanhaiguan are willing to fight or unwilling to fight, Shanhaiguan is a big army. The most important passage when going back cannot be left in the hands of outsiders. " "Sanjinhou's team marched according to the prepared plan, putting pressure on the Mu Mansion and asking Lu Fenghou to lead his troops to surround Zhenhai and force Mu who was pursuing Nalan. The soldiers had to retreat. Zhenhai was one of the most important towns under the control of Mu Mansion. As long as Zhenhai was lost, Mu Mansion's control would be cut off. Lu Fenghou did not have to use all his strength to attack, as long as he surrounded Zhenhai, it would be enough. "Here!" Liao Sheng wrote down Fang Jie's words on paper, and then recited them twice in his mind. "I don't want to fight against Mufu at this time. After all, in the current war situation, it is the most beneficial news for foreigners if our own people fight against our own people. However, I can't let Mufu soldiers hold me back. Ask Marquis Sanjin to send an influential person to Mu Mansion to see Mu Guangling directly after Lu Fenghou surrounded Zhenhai. If Mu Guangling dares to attack the envoy, ask the envoy to tell Mu Guangling that as long as he dies, the thirty thousand people in Zhenhai City will be saved. The soldiers of Mu Mansion are buried with him." "Here" Liao Sheng wrote with charcoal and wrote very fast. "In my name, I inform the entire Eastern Xinjiang that the Black Flag Army welcomes all those who are willing to go to the battlefield to fight foreigners. As long as they want to kill foreigners, I will not ask about their origins or whether they have any previous crimes. As long as they are on the battlefield, Shang is willing to work hard and forget about the past. In addition, I would like to inform the Jianghu people in Eastern Xinjiang that as long as they come with ten foreign heads in their hands, it doesn't matter what mistakes they have made before. " "My lord, is this too lenient? What?¡± Liao Sheng said with some worry: "Those gangsters in the underworld don't have clean hands." "They will never be clean in the future." Fang explained: "I am so lenient, not because I will be lenient to them in the future. If I still do it now If we are so cruel to them and execute them as long as they are caught, many of them will be forced to work as lackeys for the foreigners. This is the case with those around Yang Shunhui. We cannot kill them all. They are a scourge. Instead of doing this, let them kill foreigners and exchange their lives for ten. "If we don't win over these people, they will still harm the people in secret." Liao Sheng understood. Nodding: "I will do it now." "Go ahead" Fang Jie waved his hand: "Send someone to tell Nalan that I will wait for him to come back at Phoenix Tower." Liao Sheng agreed and then jumped up from the boat. , landed on another small boat, and the boatman turned the boat around and went further away. Fang Jie was getting closer and closer to the Phoenix Tower, and Fang Jie actually felt a little nervous. Speaking of which, after leading troops to conquer the world for so many years, Fang Jie rarely felt nervous no matter how powerful the enemy he faced. He can always calm himself down, and only by being calm can he find the enemy's weaknesses. This time is different. Although Fang Jie would risk everything in every decisive battle in the past, there was a big difference between what he had back then and what he has now. What Fang Jie was betting on now was nearly 70% of the Black Flag Army's strength and the status he had finally gained. The boat docked in Xiu'an City, and Fang Jie and his party left the waterway and started heading towards Phoenix Terrace. After landing at Xiu'an, keep walking in the southeast direction. This road is actually the same one that the Red Eyebrow Army took. More than a hundred miles east from here is Shili Gorge, where the Red Eyebrow Army was ambushed by Mu Mansion Soldiers. After passing through Shili Gorge and walking a few hundred miles, you will reach Phoenix Terrace. When passing by Xiu'an, Fang Jie saw something strange. There is a corpse hanging outside the gate of Xiu'an City. It looks like it has been there for some time. The corpse has been severely deformed by the long-term exposure to wind and sun, and its original appearance is almost unrecognizable. He asked a passerby who he was. The passerby replied that he was the magistrate of Xiu'an County, Mu Guangling. It is said that this man led the county government officials to capture and execute several family members of the Red Eyebrow Army, hoping to deter those in the green forest from going against the Mu Mansion. As a result, he was killed that night and hung on the top of the city. Although we still don¡¯t know who did it, no one in the city thinks that this was done wrong. Hearing these words, Fang Jie knew that things had changed in Dongjiang. Mu Mansion once had unparalleled control over Eastern Xinjiang, and even the Sui Dynasty could not interfere in Eastern Xinjiang's affairs. Mu Guangling was the local emperor of Eastern Xinjiang. Almost all local officials and even frontier generals were appointed by Mu Guangling. Now, the people have begun to hate Mu Mansion. In fact, this is due to the public opinion war waged by Nalan Dingdong. From the very beginning, Nalan Dingdong did not choose to give in to the Mu Mansion. Instead, he strongly displayed his opposition to the Mu Mansion, and then continued to send people to publicize the abominations of the Mu Mansion among the people. After the military incident, Mu Mansion's reputation was completely ruined. "Nalan has done a lot." Fang Jiexiang said to himself: "When I sent him to lead troops to Eastern Xinjiang, it was only because of his relationship with the Northern Liao people and because he did have the talent to lead troops. , so I took the risk and gave him 100,000 troops. Now it seems that I underestimated that not only did he secure the Phoenix Tower, but he also stripped off the deep-rooted trust and respect that the people of Eastern Xinjiang had for Mu Mansion. "First floor." So far, the generals he personally selected have completed their missions better than he expected. Chen Dingnan was not originally designated by Fang Jie to pacify Yunnan Road. Initially, the general appointed by Fang Jie was Chen Bishan, because relatively speaking, Chen Bishan was more stable. Who would have thought that something happened to Chen Bishan later and Chen Dingnan took over. As a result, he quickly eliminated the remnants of Nanyan in Yunnan Province and shocked He people. Chen Dingnan played a major role in Yunnan Province being able to stabilize so quickly. Song Zihui, whose courtesy name was Dingxi. What Fang Jie still doesn¡¯t know is that what he does in the west has become so important that it affects the balance of power between the east and the west on both sides of Langru Mountain, and has even changed the layout of the entire grassland. Perhaps it won't be long before the impact of Song Zihui's successes will become even greater. Nalan Dingdong brought many surprises to Fang Jie. Not only are they brave and resourceful, the current situation in Eastern Xinjiang is so favorable to the Black Flag Army, all thanks to Nalan Dingdong's strategy. "Liao Sheng" Fang Jie called Liao Sheng over and said: "Send someone to convey my order. Nalan Dingdong will be promoted to the third rank of general, and all his generals will be promoted to the first rank.?? times. All the Riding Schools working in Eastern Xinjiang will be promoted to a higher level and their salaries will be doubled. " Liao Sheng nodded quickly and then wrote it down. "Ask Marquis Sanjin to write a letter to Mu Guangling in the name of the court, telling Mu Guangling that from now on, the Black Flag Army will requisition food from local granaries. Mu Guangling does not care about himself. status, then I will let him continue to care. What he still insists on is the position of Duke of the Sui Dynasty, so everything must be dealt with officially. If Mu Guangling is not happy, it means he is not respecting the court's order. I will talk to him personally. " "Well" Fang Jie has been giving orders continuously in the past few days. Although he is not in the military camp, the orders are more intensive. "Forget it" Fang Jie suddenly waved his hand: "I won't go to Phoenix Tower now. Nalan will have at least two more It will take ten days to return to Phoenix Terrace, so I will go to Mu Mansion first. " "Mu Mansion? " Liao Sheng was startled: "Just go like this? " "No, give him enough face. Fang explained: "I have everything on the navy ship. I sent someone to order the navy to dock in Lufeng City. I want to take my personal camp to Mu Mansion." " "Here" Liao Sheng hesitated for a while and then asked: "Do you want to send an official document first? " "Yes" Fang Jie nodded: "Not only did I issue an official document, but I also sent someone to inform the prefectures and counties along the way, saying that on behalf of the imperial court, I would meet with Duke Mu to publicize this matter. The person sent must clearly tell Mu Guangling and ask him to wait at home to welcome the imperial envoy. " Liao Sheng saw a hint of amusement in Fang Jie's eyes, and he suddenly felt a little excited. This time, it was really not a good thing for Mu Mansion.
