This mutiny is actually not difficult, basically the same as when Ma Yongkang invited Zhao Buxi to be the emperor.

How to invite it, just add an army and drive it away.

Zhao Buxi had no personal power, and he only relied on his reputation and the expectations of his ministers for him. Now that his expectations are shattered, his hopes are shattered, and his fate is also conceivable.

However, Ma Yongkang suddenly realized that it was not difficult to get Zhao Buxi down.

It’s just that they have lived in the imperial power society for a long time, and their awe for imperial power is engraved in their heads and formed a fixed mindset. So no matter who it is, as long as they hold the name of an emperor, it is enough to make people afraid.

This is not Zhao Buxi's ability, but the ability of the emperor, and the ability of the golden signboard created by countless outstanding people.

With this golden sign, a dog can make people bow their heads.

With Zhao Buxi's family being arrested neatly, the mutiny ended successfully, and the local officials in Sichuan and Shu in Chengdu were also fully controlled by the army, and the Chengdu court was completely controlled by the officials and army sent by other places.

For the next thing, Ma Yongkang and others will rely on the performance of Wu Ting and Wu Gong, two [Wu Lin’s legacy].

Holding Chengdu City and waiting for the Ming army to come to help is the only thing they have to hold on next. Otherwise, their efforts today would be nothing more than a wedding dress for others.

While the situation in Sichuan and Sichuan has undergone profound changes, Xu Tong is not idle either.

Xu Tong also started a new round of offensive.

The strength and efficiency of the political and cadre team and part of the military logistics support provided by the Henan Corps allowed him to rectify the powerful force of 10,000 soldiers at the fastest speed. Ten thousand soldiers were enough to enable him to launch the tactics of [Ten Thousand Soldiers] where the main force of the enemy did not arrive.

Therefore, Xu Tong officially launched a strategy for Fuzhou on September 23, the seventh year of Hongwu.

The army advanced along the Minjiang River waterway and arrived directly at Fuling, the capital of Fuzhou. The magistrate of Fuling County and the governor of Fuzhou expressed a firm resistance in the face of this revolutionary army that was said to be related to the Ming army. Perhaps he knew that he could not have a good end, so he simply gave up.

They formed 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 to try to resist the attack of the Revolutionary Army.

They thought their defense was effective, but they soon discovered that they were wrong.

Zhongdu Liubaili urgently ordered the Shenji Battalion, which was originally under the command of the Henan Corps, to enter the revolutionary army sequence and obey the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army.

More than forty chariots, general artillery and five general artillery arrived in Xutong's army by water transportation, and a 500-man musket team arrived.

Xu Tong was very happy and took them up the river and entered Fuzhou. He met the navy of the defenders in the water east of Fuling County. There were about 40 ships, with sailors on the ship, which looked quite like a person.

Xu Tong had long wanted to see the actual combat effectiveness of artillery, so he ordered the gunship equipped with chariots and generals to charge forward and launch artillery to attack the Song army ships.

Then he saw the scene of the entire Song army's naval army being wiped out under the bombardment of artillery.

More than 40 Song army warships thought they had advantages along the way, so they launched an attack together, trying to defeat the revolutionary army's ships by jumping and impact combat.

Then more than ten ships were sunk by artillery and more than 30 were captured. The sailors were either drowned or shot to death by cannons, or died by diving to survive, but were swept away by the water flow.

After the destruction of the Song army's naval forces, the water control power was controlled by the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army drove a ship outside the Fuling County to bombard the city walls, intimidated the defenders inside and outside the city, and then cut off the water routes inside and outside the city, land traffic, and threatened the defenders inside and outside the city to surrender.

The governor of Fuzhou and the magistrate of Fuling County resolutely refused to surrender, and called on the soldiers and soldiers in the city to die for the Song Dynasty.

However, the big-headed soldiers in the city did not want to die for the Song Dynasty. In addition, after experiencing Jiaozire, they hated the Chengdu court so much that they launched a mutiny.

The governor of Fuzhou was arrested, and the magistrate of Fuling fell to death while hiding from the pursuit.

On the first day of October of the seventh year of Hongwu, Fuling County surrendered, and Fuzhou's resistance was declared unsuccessful.

Xu Tong still handed over the work in Fuzhou to the political cadres led by Zhou Qiang, and immediately began to prepare for the battle to attack Chongqing Prefecture.

After conquering Chongqing Prefecture, there was basically no steep terrain worth worrying about when going westward. It was basically impossible for the Song army to take over the danger and defend. The Chengdu court was equivalent to losing the Ji Han court in Hanzhong, and it was a little bit away from being destroyed.

Therefore, conquering Chongqing Prefecture is of great significance in Xu Tong's view.

At present, although Chongqing Prefecture has always been an important town in central Sichuan, the Song army did not set up a regular army garrison in Chongqing Prefecture, so Xu Tong believes that it is not difficult to capture Chongqing Prefecture, as long as you dare to attack.

In fact, 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 10,000 to guard Chongqing Prefecture, a commotion broke out.

After finally calming down the riots, he was about to send troops to guard Chongqing Prefecture, and the great uprising of the Sichuan-Shu peasant uprising broke out, and he was unable to do anything.

So much so that when Xu Tong occupied Fuzhou and threatened Chongqing Prefecture, there were only more than 2,000 local armed forces and the newly recruited street-slip teams gathered in Ba County to defend themselves in danger and prevent the revolutionary army from attacking.

The prefect of Chongqing Prefecture Fang Qianxin deeply felt that if this continues, Chongqing Prefecture will definitely not be able to defend itself, so he decided not to sit still and wait for death, and he had to find another way.

How to find another way?

Of course, I asked for help from the local powerful landlords.

Obviously, the great uprising of the peasants in Sichuan and Sichuan greatly shocked the men. The men realized that if they could no longer unite, they would be hung on the southeast branches by the cattle and horses and fluttered with the wind. So they quickly put aside the conflicts between them and decided to unite.

On this kind of problem, the men's reaction speed is always extraordinary.

Fang Qianxin's request was quickly responded. The powerful landlords led the army to help the prefect, and in a short time, they gathered a defensive team of about 6,000 people for him, and the landlords were constantly gathering in Ba County.

It can be said that Chongqing Prefecture's defensive power is unprecedentedly huge.

Of course, Fang Qianxin's efforts are also indispensable to achieve such a situation.

After Jiaozi Fierce, some landlords and powerful figures in Chongqing Prefecture were impacted and suffered heavy losses. They were very dissatisfied with the court and went to the Chongqing Prefecture Office to cause trouble, which was very popular.

They are different from ordinary people who have no power. If they cause trouble, it is a very dangerous signal and will shake the foundation of the imperial court's rule.

For various reasons, the prefect Fang Qianxin did not get permission from the court, but he used his relationship to send a batch of salt to Chongqing Prefecture to compensate those landlords and powerful people on the surface of the official.

This action played a very important role in his future cleaning up the situation.
