The next thing was much easier to handle. After the county magistrate received Liu Renben's letter, he learned that the other party was the provincial minister, Zhongguanda, who was several levels above him. It is said that the first level of an official would kill someone, not to mention that the letter stated that these three people

They were his distant relatives. As an official as big as himself, he couldn't offend a provincial official. After thinking about it, he quickly ordered his release. At this point, the Fang brothers could see the light of day again.

After this incident, the Fang brothers were completely disappointed with the court. Soon, Fang Guozhen said, "The court lost its political power, led the troops to play bandits, and the clowns could not be pacified. The world has been in chaos since then. Today, cruel officials are regarded as traitors and harm the good people. If I

Just die without hesitation, the whole family will be in vain

It's better to go into the sea to get a trick than to cast a ghost from a spring." He persuaded the five brothers to raise the banner of anti-Yuan, and soon they went on patrol in Changpu and went to Fang's house to collect the debt. Fang Guozhen took advantage of the meal to

He used the table as a shield and the pole as a spear to kill the patrol inspector, and then fought with

The second brother Guozhang, the younger brother Guoying, and the younger brother Guomin fled into the sea. In less than a month, they gathered thousands of persecuted people and began to rob the Yuan Dynasty's maritime imperial grain. From time to time, they sent ships to rob the large sea transport ships and captured the Yuan Dynasty.

Qianhu Deliu, Tinghae Road

Yu Shi. From Wenzhou to Ningbo, not only was shipping blocked, but passing official ships were often robbed. The looted silver was used to recruit troops. In just a few months, there were thousands of people. The imperial court heard that he was powerful and sent troops one after another.

The army attacked.

In the ninth year of Zhizheng year, the Yuan Dynasty sent Zhejiang Provincial Political Consultant Duo'er to lead 30,000 naval troops to arrest him. The number of officers and soldiers was ten times that of the rebels. The situation was very serious. Fang Guozhen immediately ordered the rebels to retreat southward along the coastal road. A few days later, they arrived outside Wuhumen in Fujian.

Seeing that the terrain of the bay was dangerous and advantageous to him, he deployed an ambush to fight. Duo'er sent his troops to pursue Wuhumen, only to see a raging fire in the rebel fleet in front, and there was no fire on board.

Seeing a soldier and a soldier. In doubt, he suddenly heard trumpets sounding everywhere and the sound of killing was loud. Fang Guozhen commanded the boats to come over from all sides. Rockets were like locusts. The official ships caught fire and the Yuan soldiers fell into the water one after another. The command ship of Duo'erjiban was "attacked" by the rebels.

The "Water Ghost Team" dug through the bottom of the ship, and the coach was captured alive. Fang Guozhen took the opportunity to occupy large areas such as Wenzhou, Taizhou, Ningbo, etc., and became the king and hegemony of one area, just like a local emperor.

Thinking of these troublesome past events, Tuotuo's face immediately turned ugly, and he said with a worried look: "This person has defected to the imperial court many times, and rebelled midway. I don't know whether this time is true or not. Mr. Xiao can find out.

?"

Xiao Yun said: "Don't worry, sir. I'm observing this man in a humble position. He has no ambitions. He raised the banner of anti-Yuan because he was forced to do it. Now he just wants to protect the country and the people, and he can't achieve anything big. Besides, this man has been entrenched in the sea all year round.

He has been active in Nanyang for many years and has great strength at sea. If we don't recruit this person to surrender at this moment, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your lord's efforts to annihilate Zhang Shicheng?"

Tuotuo was shocked and said: "How can you say this?"

Xiao Yun thought for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "This time when I went to Gaoyou, I met Fang Guozhen and others. Is it because they secretly entered Gaoyou City? It was only then that I was brought in by accident."

Fang Guozhen’s territory.”

Tuotuo frowned and said nothing. He thought for a moment and said, "Master Xiao, you mean...?"

Xiao Yun secretly sighed that it was really effortless to deal with such a smart person. He nodded and said: "Exactly, although Fang Guozhen has no intention of becoming the world leader, he has been determined to "protect the environment and the people" in every land he occupies since he was young.

Ji Ren, these years, I have been recuperating in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

, Encourage agriculture, industry and commerce, light corvee, and develop production and trade, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. They have indeed done a lot of good things. There are no less than hundreds of thousands of people in Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Ningbo. Fang Guozhen can be said to follow him sincerely! " said Xiao here

Yun glanced at Tuotuo and looked at him

His face was not very embarrassed, but his brows were furrowed and he looked worried. Xiao Yun felt relieved and said: "This time the imperial court sent your Excellency to destroy Zhang Shicheng with a force of one million. It can be said that everyone in the world knows that Zhang Shicheng only has hundreds of thousands of troops.

It occupies no more land than Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Gaoyou.

, Taizhou and other places, how can they resist the imperial court's millions of troops? Moreover, your lord is personally in charge, and no one in the world is afraid of it! Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng's lands are closely connected. Once Zhang Shicheng is destroyed by your lord, the truth is that they will be dead. Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng will die.

Do you understand in your heart?"

Tuotuo was shocked. Even Ha Ci on one side changed his face and said in surprise: "Are you saying that Fang Guozhen wants Zhang Shicheng to join forces to fight against the imperial court?"

Xiao Yun secretly sighed that this man looked like a six-foot-tall King Kong, but he was not stupid either. He said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

Tuotuo looked at Xiao Yun in surprise and said, "Master Xiao, why don't you just say it directly if you have something to say? No need to beat around the bush?"

Xiao Yun secretly cursed: "Damn, who's beating around the bush? Besides, aren't you worried about your emotions?" He said with a slight sinking, "Yes, sir?"

"This time I made inquiries and heard from my humble position that after Zhang Shicheng occupied Gaoyou, a group of alchemists under his command deceived him into being the destined emperor. This time, he ignored the public outrage and ascended the throne in Gaoyou and became the emperor!"

"Hmph, let him live happily for a few days. When my Great Yuan cavalry arrives, let's see how long he, the self-proclaimed earth emperor, can sit still?" Tuotuo cursed in a low voice.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel funny when he saw that he was a dignified prime minister, but he was having trouble with a child. However, in front of the prime minister, he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He chuckled twice in his heart, and then said

: "Zhang Shicheng became emperor and his ambitions expanded with the throne. The first step was to unify Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and other

For example, Liu Ziren and other local forces had already surrendered to him. When he learned that your Excellency had sent a large army to attack Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to give up his plan to unify Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, these days, I heard from Fang Guozhen's subordinates that Zhang Shicheng was in

Under his instruction, his younger brother Zhang Shixin was sent to Taizhou?"

"Zhang Shixin went to Taizhou?" Tuotuo felt nervous and said, "What to do?"

Xiao Yun glanced at Tuo Tuo and said, "Damn, I thought you were not afraid of heaven and earth? Turns out there are times when you are afraid?" Looking at his pale face, he really couldn't bear to scare this eternal prime minister. After a pause,

, continued

: "I heard that Zhang Shicheng wanted to recruit Fang Guozhen! However, Fang Guozhen refused. The two sides had a long talk about this. In the end, I heard that Zhang Shicheng wanted to join forces with Fang Guozhen because of the cold words."
