Chapter 2630 Southeast Defense
Fang Gaoyi asked, "Who among you is good at fooling people?"
Everyone was silent.
Wen Rensheng said directly: "In this case, let me take on this task."
Wen Rensheng was a teacher after all.
So many aliens were fooled by him, let alone these ordinary people.
He is quite good at deceiving and making inferences.
He cannot draw on the power of the mysterious seed now.
Otherwise, it would be easy to scare this broken light ball and then be expelled.
Of course, Wen Rensheng could also forcibly identify the other party's secrets, but that would likely result in both parties being destroyed.
This broken light ball is still very cautious.
Once Wen Rensheng used his power forcibly, he believed that this broken light ball would most likely choose to throw off the burden of the world and escape on its own.
This is not an exaggeration.
It is entirely possible.
Then Wen Rensheng told everyone about his arrangements.
After discussion, everyone agreed to Wen Rensheng's arrangement.
After all, with Wen Rensheng's ability, it is not difficult to create a practical and comprehensive plan.
They carried out Wen Rensheng's arrangement.
The methods they used were not very sophisticated.
One is to find someone to help you, and the other is to spend money.
The third is to fabricate stories and become famous.
The next step is to help the local wealthy families solve their problems.
For example, a child from a wealthy family is seriously ill and is about to die.
Wen Rensheng took out a method to treat the cold.
These are all effective physical cooling and nutritional supplement methods that have been used in later generations.
Add some extracted effective herbal ingredients to help your child recover.
In ancient times, medicine and divination were often inseparable.
In this way, Wen Rensheng's reputation for his foresight and his superb medical skills spread.
Naturally, the news reached Fang La's mouth.
Fang La talked about Wen Rensheng with his military advisor.
"My Lord, since there is such a talented person, we should invite him."
"Firstly, we need good doctors in our army, and secondly, we also need to consider our future," said the military advisor.
This military advisor is not a jealous person.
The main reason is that the rebellion was too big.
All kinds of talents are urgently needed now.
"But is he reliable?" Fang La asked a key question, "What if he knows our inside story and chooses to report it to the government?"
The military advisor laughed and said, "As long as we control him, how can he report it?"
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion was reported by someone, but that was because of reports from people who were out and about."
"And he is a doctor and a fortune teller, so he doesn't need to walk around."
Hearing this, Fang La nodded heavily.
indeed so.
"And even if he surrenders to the government, the government will definitely not care about people like him, and it will be difficult for him to gain entry." The military advisor continued.
This is the military advisor's lack of vision.
In fact, Song Huizong was a devout believer in Taoism and had great trust in all kinds of mysterious people.
Even during the great war with the Jin people, there were mysterious people participating in the serious military formation.
Although Xuanshi also wanted to boost morale, the result was a complete failure.
If we had defended the city well, we could have held on.
As a result, the city was broken.
The key point is that the two emperors were captured and they delivered themselves to the enemy.
It's really embarrassing.
Soon Fang La took people to recruit.
He came to the Taoist temple on the mountain where Wen Rensheng was.
After a round of worship, Fang La asked Wen Rensheng.
"Sir, you are well-known and talented. I heard that you are good at predicting people's future. I wonder if you can predict something for me?"
"What's the difficulty?" Wen Rensheng looked at Fang La carefully.
This is a middle-aged man with a square face and sad brows.
After looking at it for a while, Wen Rensheng shook his head and said, "Your Excellency has the fortune to be king, but it's a pity that his rise was as fast as his fall."
"what do you mean?"
"I mean that you can become a king for a while, but unfortunately, your kingship will only last for a few short months." Wen Rensheng sighed.
Fang La was happy at first, but then he felt nervous.
His follower, his son Fang Hao, was immediately furious upon hearing this: "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous to my master!"
Wen Rensheng just smiled.
Fang La waved his hand at this time. He was a man who loved talents.
Not greedy for money.
And he has strong organizational skills, which means he is good at winning people over.
This is actually true.
He used underground societies to win over many people.
In addition, the imperial court levied the flower and stone tax, which made everyone resentful.
The lacquer garden he opened was often exploited and oppressed by officials.
I can't hold on any longer.
He is now determined to rebel.
To be honest, it’s pretty good that Fang La could hold on for 7 months.
You should know that he even captured important southeastern cities such as Hangzhou.
And his opponents were all regular troops.
The Song Dynasty sent imperial guards and border troops, which were Han soldiers from Qin and Jin, totaling 150,000.
Qin and Jin are truly elite teams.
The Song Dynasty finally gathered its forces and prepared to march north to attack the Liao Kingdom.
He was left to deal with this group of elite soldiers.
At this time, Fang La asked: "May I ask, sir, why is the king's luck so short?"
Wen Rensheng smiled and said, "It seems that you are not interested in asking for advice, so please go back."
At this time Fang La asked in confusion: "Sir, why do you say that?"
Wen Rensheng said: "You only focus on Wang Yun, but forget where Wang comes from."
"Oh, where is Wang from?" Fang La asked quickly.
"Only if you have money, food, soldiers, population, and cities, are well-trained, have good planning, and know how to advance and retreat, can you become a king." Wen Rensheng said.
"Please forgive me, sir." When Fang La heard this, he knew that the other party was a man of great talent.
Most people can’t explain it in such detail.
In fact, he was also preparing to start an uprising together with people from his clan and many poor farmers.
There were not many scholars involved, so he didn't know anything about military affairs.
He then bowed deeply and asked patiently.
Wen Rensheng smiled, and then pointed out several problems in recruiting and training.
Then tell him:
"The southeast is the core area of the Song Dynasty. Once something happens, people from all directions will attack us."
"Even if you successfully capture many cities for a while, how can you persist?"
"You are rebelling here, just like playing chess and placing the first piece in the middle. Without supreme chess power, it won't work."
Fang La was shocked when he heard this.
Because that's what he intended.
He directly conquered many large cities in the southeast and proclaimed himself king and emperor.
Moreover, there are many rumors that his hometown was the place where the emperor rose to power.
"Then how should I choose?" Fang La asked with a headache.
"Your Excellency might as well choose a mountainous area."
“Build more fortresses and strongholds on the mountains so that we can hold on.”
"The Song Dynasty is now corrupt. As long as the time is right, you can become king."
Fang La was overjoyed when he heard this.
Then Wen Rensheng gave him a valuable local map.
The map was very detailed.
It is far from comparable to ordinary maps.
After seeing the map, Fang La felt relieved.
Because it means that the other party also has the intention to rebel and has something on him.
Ordinary people simply cannot draw maps.
Anyone who dares to draw it has the intention of rebellion.
If you report it to the authorities, you will be arrested.
This map was naturally drawn by an experienced person by comparing it with later maps and running around quickly.
Apart from physical attributes, he has no other extraordinary abilities, not even a space ring.
This is obviously a scam.
But no matter how bad it is, they still need to do this.
It must be said that after seeing this map, Fang La immediately believed in Wen Rensheng. Soon Fang La took Wen Rensheng back and prepared to follow Wen Rensheng's advice and start to lay a solid foundation in the mountains.
He actually thought so at the beginning.
His hometown has many mountain streams, many big trees and complex terrain.
Later, when he was defeated, he fled back to his hometown and hid.
Of course, I still couldn't hide.
After all, if you fail, there will be plenty of people who will betray you.
However, Fang La's decision still aroused opposition from many of his subordinates.
The reason for these people’s opposition is actually very simple.
They are poor people to begin with, how could they have much knowledge?
All they wanted was to quickly capture the county town and enjoy the world of pleasure.
Who wants to go into the ravine?
That's so hard.
If they want to hide in the mountains, then why are they rebelling?
You can drill now.
This reflects the disadvantages of peasant rebellion.
No education or training, no long-term vision.
In the end, you can only become a tool.
Moreover, most peasant uprisings would be stolen by landlords and generals.
"Our master wants to be king and emperor. How can he call on the world if he goes into the mountains?" Fang La's son Fang Hao said to others.
"Okay, stop talking, sir.
Who cares?
All in all. Among these people.
Under arrangement.
After seeing these opponents, Fang La suddenly felt helpless.
He also began to hesitate.
I clearly know that Wen Rensheng's method is correct, but I can't execute it.
Because my subordinates don’t understand.
I don’t want to go to the mountains to work hard.
Seeing this, Fang Gao shook his head and said:
"Sure enough, this guy is a hopeless case."
"There's a reason why he failed quickly historically."
"If you only think about attacking cities and expanding your territory, you won't realize how powerful you are."
"In this situation, if he doesn't fail, who will fail?"
The novice man also said: "It's a pity. If we have the ability of hypnosis, we can control these people and make them do it according to our method."
"At least I can hold on for a dozen years."
"Yes, if we fight in the mountains, the imperial court will be completely helpless."
"In fact, the southeast is also mountainous. We can go further south. Not to mention the feudal court, even the modern army can't do anything about those mountains." The novice girl also echoed.
Wen Rensheng nodded when he heard this.
They are all right.
In fact, it is not very difficult to persevere.
But this is the human nature.
At the beginning, people always think that the situation is turbulent and it will be easy to rebel.
That was true at first.
But by the time the energy for the rebellion was released, the food, fodder, soldiers and training could not keep up, and the other side began to react and mobilized enough troops, horses and food, and the rebels were basically suppressed.
The only way for the rebels to exert their advantage is to enter the mountains.
Life in the mountains is hard and transporting food is difficult.
For them, the regular army entering the mountains was a torture.
It is very difficult to fight against chapped bones in modern times, let alone the ancients.
"Forget it. Our main mission is just to make Fang La hold on."
"We don't need Fang La to win. In fact, in a few years, the Jin Dynasty will move south, and the Song army will have no time to suppress it." Wen Rensheng explained.
"We just need to make sure Fang La doesn't lose completely."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
And Fang Gaoyi seemed to have some realization.
He asked again, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that we can make plans in advance for Fang La's failure."
"It's normal that he doesn't listen to our advice now. When people are on the rise, they always think that whatever they do is right and that they can make money."
"However, once the situation changes, we will be surrounded and blocked by all parties, and it will be hard to predict whether we will live or die." Wen Rensheng said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
Then Wen Rensheng told Fang La: "You can attack these cities."
"But Sun Tzu said that the winner wins first and then seeks battle."
"That is to say, first leave yourself a way out and be invincible before engaging the enemy in battle."
"We can arrange some of the core members and build a secret stronghold in the mountains."
When Fang La heard that this method was good, he agreed to Wen Rensheng's suggestion and allocated a thousand people to Wen Rensheng to do this.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
You should know that Fang La has gathered tens of thousands of people.
After the subsequent uprising, the number reached as high as hundreds of thousands.
In the end, as many as 70,000 people were beheaded.
Of course, most of them are poor people who are just making up the numbers.
Both parties began to act according to this method.
The subsequent developments are as everyone can see.
At the beginning, Fang La and his men were invincible.
The people have long suffered from the Huashi Gang.
Wherever they went, there were people leading the way and opening the city gates.
Especially those ordinary people whose homes were broken up.
They don't have the courage to rebel themselves, but they are very brave to join in the rebellion of others.
In just a few months, Fang La captured dozens of cities.
This also includes absolutely important cities such as Hangzhou.
For a while, it caused a sensation throughout the southeast.
The Song Emperor was panicked and quickly abolished the Hua Shi Gang and dismissed the person in charge.
Fang La took advantage of the situation and began to proclaim himself king.
For a moment, all his men were delighted.
One by one, they were named national teachers, generals, and protectors...
It can be said that the scenery is extremely beautiful.
At this time, someone said, "Haha, I knew long ago that the Taoist priest is incompetent and can only deceive the king."
"Yes, he is as timid as a mouse. If we listen to them, how can we live happily in such a government office now?"
"Still wandering in the ravines."
These people drank and had fun.
For a moment, he completely forgot the danger he was facing.
I just want to have a comfortable day.
They never imagined that the Song court was frantically besieging them from all sides.
The Western Army that came was absolutely elite.
They sailed down the river.
Prepare to strangle Fang La and others.
Wen Rensheng had already prepared a way out.
So by just the fifth month, the defeat became obvious.
One city after another was captured and recaptured by the Song army.
Field battles failed again and again.
"The Song army is obviously very weak, why can't we defeat them?" Fang La immediately felt regretful.
He was in Jiangnan and had never seen the Western Army.
Naturally, I didn't know that the Western Army would be able to contain the powerful Jin people until later.
The Jin people were the strongest elite forces of this era.
How could such an elite force be fought against by a group of militiamen?
If there is chaos everywhere, it will make the other party run around in a hurry.
But the problem is that wherever they went, the people quickly settled down.
Because the emperor no longer collected flowers and stones, the people were able to live in peace again.
So they no longer supported Fang La and regarded him as a bandit.
In fact, Fang La's troops could not be very disciplined, and looting was inevitable.
As the Song Dynasty's army set out and fought, Fang La was defeated again and again.
After all, their soldiers have not undergone years of training, and only a few of them can serve as elite soldiers based on their talent and their own training.
This is far from comparable to the border troops of the Song Dynasty.
Their greatest use was that they made the enemy come from thousands of miles away, and due to the weather, many border troops died of illness and heat.
This is why northern soldiers fought wars in the fall and winter.
Even during the great famine of the Ming Dynasty, the area south of the Yangtze River remained stable.
What’s more, it was during the Song Dynasty.
Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty also went through many ups and downs. Finally, he made a complete comeback when there were victims of disasters everywhere. He made use of a large number of victims and continuously eliminated and selected elite soldiers, and finally he defeated the regular army of the Ming Dynasty.
And there was another important factor: the Ming Dynasty's most important mobile force was trapped by enemies outside the Great Wall.
