This mutiny was actually not difficult. It was basically the same as when Ma Yongkang invited Zhao Buxi to be emperor.
Why did you invite them? Just add an army and drive them away.
Zhao Buji had no personal power and only relied on his righteousness and the expectations of his ministers. Now that his expectations have failed and his hopes are shattered, his fate can be imagined.
However, Ma Yongkang also suddenly discovered that it was not difficult to remove Zhao Buji from power.
It's just that they have lived in an imperial society for a long time, and their awe of imperial power is engraved in their heads and formed a mindset. Therefore, no matter who they are, as long as they bear the title of emperor, they are enough to be feared.
This is not Zhao Buji's ability, it is the ability of the emperor, and the ability of countless outstanding people who have worked hard to build a golden brand.
With this golden sign, a dog can make people bow down.
With Zhao Buyi's family neatly arrested, the mutiny ended successfully. The Sichuan and Sichuan local officials in Chengdu were also fully controlled by the army, and the Chengdu court was completely controlled by officials and troops from outside.
For the next thing, Ma Yongkang and others will have to rely on the performance of Wu Ting and Wu Gong [Wu Lin's Legacy].
Holding the city of Chengdu and waiting for the Ming army to come for reinforcements is the only thing they have to persevere in the next step. Otherwise, their efforts today are just making wedding clothes for others.
While the situation in Sichuan and Sichuan has undergone profound changes, Xu Tong has not been idle either.
Xu Tong also started a new round of offensive.
The strength and efficiency of the political cadre team and part of the military logistics support provided by the Henan Corps allowed him to organize a strong force of 10,000 soldiers as quickly as possible. The 10,000 soldiers were enough to allow him to reach places where the enemy's main force had not arrived. Launch the strategy of [Ten Thousands of Troops Rushing].
Ever since, Xu Tong officially launched his attack on Fuzhou on September 23rd, the seventh year of Hongwu.
The army advanced along the Minjiang River waterway and directly arrived at Fuling, the capital of Fuzhou. The Fuling County Magistrate and the Fuzhou Governor expressed their resolute resistance to this revolutionary army that was said to be related to the Ming Army. Perhaps they knew that they would not be able to survive. It won't end well, so let's just break the jar and throw it away.
They pulled up a resistance team of more than 2,000 people, built fortifications inside and outside Fuling County, and seized the time to build ships and organize naval forces in an attempt to resist the revolutionary army's attack.
They thought their defenses were effective, but they soon discovered they were wrong.
Zhongdu Liubaili issued an urgent order to allow the Shenji Battalion, which was originally under the command of the Henan Corps, to enter the revolutionary army sequence and obey the command of Xu Tong, the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army.
More than forty cavalry general cannons and five general general cannons arrived at Xu Tong's army by water transport, followed by a musketry team of 500 people.
Xu Tong was very happy and took them up the river and entered Fuzhou. In the waters east of Fuling County, they met the garrison's navy. There were about forty ships with sailors on board. They looked quite decent. .
Xu Tong had long wanted to see the actual combat effectiveness of the artillery, so he ordered the gunboats equipped with mounted general cannons to charge forward and fire cannons to attack the Song ships.
Then he saw the scene where the Song Navy was completely annihilated under the bombardment of artillery.
More than forty warships of the Song Army thought they had an advantage going down the river, so they launched an attack together, trying to defeat the revolutionary ships by gang-hopping and ramming operations.
Then more than ten ships were sunk by artillery and more than thirty ships were captured. The sailors were either drowned or killed by cannons, or they were swept away by the current after diving to survive.
After the Song Army's navy was destroyed, the water control rights were controlled by the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army sailed to the outside of Fuling County to bombard the city wall to intimidate the defenders inside the city, and then cut off water and land transportation inside and outside the city, forcing the defenders inside the city to surrender.
The governor of Fuzhou and the magistrate of Fuling were determined not to surrender and called on the soldiers in the city to die for the Song Dynasty.
However, the leading soldiers in the city did not want to die for the Song Dynasty, and after experiencing Jiaozi Fever, they hated the Chengdu court so much that they launched a mutiny.
The governor of Fuzhou was arrested, and the magistrate of Fuling slipped and fell to his death while evading pursuit.
On the first day of October in the seventh year of Hongwu, Kaicheng, the county seat of Fuling, surrendered, and Fuzhou's resistance failed.
Xu Tong still handed over the work in Fuzhou to the political cadres led by Zhou Qiang, and he immediately began to prepare for the attack on Chongqing Prefecture.
After capturing Chongqing Mansion, there is basically no dangerous terrain to worry about all the way to the west. It is basically impossible for the Song army to defend based on the danger. The Chengdu court is equivalent to losing the Ji Han court in Hanzhong, which is close to being destroyed. Just a little bit closer.
Therefore, conquering Chongqing Prefecture was of great significance to Xu Tong.
At present, although Chongqing Prefecture has always been an important town in central Sichuan, the Song Army did not set up an organized regular army garrison in Chongqing Prefecture. Therefore, Xu Tong believes that it is not difficult to capture Chongqing Prefecture, as long as he dares to attack.
In fact, it was not that Wu Lin did not want to set up an army here, but his plan could not keep up with the changes.
When he planned to dispatch an army of ten thousand people to guard Chongqing Prefecture, the rice riot broke out.
After finally calming down the riot, he was just about to send troops to guard Chongqing Prefecture. Then the Sichuan-Sichuan Peasant Uprising broke out, and he was unable to do anything else.
So when Xu Tong occupied Fuzhou and threatened Chongqing Prefecture, Chongqing Prefecture only had more than 2,000 newly assembled local armed forces and a newly recruited street Liuzi team gathered in Ba County to prepare to defend against the revolutionary army's attack.
Fang Qianxin, the prefect of Chongqing Prefecture, felt deeply that Chongqing Prefecture would definitely not be able to hold on at this rate, so he decided that he could not sit still and wait for death, but must find another way out.
How to find another way?
Of course, he asked the powerful local landowners for help.
Obviously, the Sichuan-Sichuan peasant uprising greatly shocked the gentlemen. The gentlemen realized that if they could not unite as one, they would be hung on the southeastern branches by the cattle and horses, so they quickly put aside their conflicts. Decided to unite.
On this kind of issue, the response speed of the gentleman is always unusually fast.
Fang Qianxin's request was quickly responded to. Powerful landowners led regiments and armed forces to come to the aid of the prefect. In a short period of time, a defense team of almost 6,000 people was gathered for him, and more and more landowners continued to go to Ba County with armed forces. gather.
It can be said that the defensive power of Chongqing Prefecture is unprecedentedly large.
Of course, to achieve such a situation, Fang Qianxin's own efforts are also indispensable.
After the Jiaozi fever, some powerful landowners and official figures in Chongqing Prefecture were hit and suffered heavy losses. They were very dissatisfied with the court and went to Chongqing Prefecture to cause trouble with great momentum.
They are different from ordinary people who have little power. If they make trouble, it is a very dangerous signal and will shake the foundation of the imperial court's rule.
Due to various considerations, the prefect Fang Qianxin, although he did not get permission from the court, used his connections to ask his nephew, who was a salt officer at the Baima Salt Fields in Fuzhou, to send a batch of salt to Chongqing to compensate the powerful landlords and Official figure.
This move played a very important role in cleaning up the situation for him later.
