The road to Shu is difficult, it is more difficult than climbing to the blue sky, and the road to Fujian is even more difficult than Shu! Fujian is mountainous and its terrain is as complex as that of Guizhou. What is even more difficult to accept is the dialect of Fujian. It is no exaggeration to say it in various ways. Especially in mountainous areas, dozens of miles is a dialect. Some neighboring towns have no words to communicate with each other and cannot communicate. Not to mention it, it is purely like listening to the heavenly book.

Fujian Admiral Lan Li divided into three groups to penetrate the center of the hungry riot, Dehua and the two counties of Yongchun. Lan Li knew very well that even if he arrived in Dehua and Yongchun County, he would not be able to get food supplies, so he advanced slowly along the way, waiting for the food and grass to follow up behind him. Because the road was difficult to move, the soldiers were not very motivated, and they arrived in Yongchun County six days later.[.]

What shocked him was that Yongchun County was already an empty city, and he could not find a living person in search of the whole city. After hearing the news, Lan Li suddenly felt a dilemma and retreated. He had no achievements. How to retreat? If you advance to Dehua or an empty city, the food and supplies of his 30,000 troops would be a big problem.

After meditating for a while, Lan Licai ordered people to beat the drum and summon all the generals.

In the dilapidated county hall, Lan Li glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "You have seen the situation in front of you. Yongchun is an empty city and a dead city. What do you think about this?"

After a moment of quietness, Wang Jincai, the general of the Right Camp, bowed and said, "The army gate is not considered. The mob learned that the army is in the fight, and fled early or fled into the mountains."

This does not mean that he didn't say anything. Lan Li looked at the left camp gang general Shang Zhipeng with a calm face. Shang Zhipeng hurriedly bowed and replied, "I went back to the military gate and looked at the county town carefully. The mob should have abandoned the city three days ago. At present, there is no food in the area. I don't think that the mob might pass by like a locust. If you eat up a place, you will move."

When the locusts pass by, Lan Li's heart sank. This is the result he fears the most. In this way, it is not as simple as the riots of hungry people. Those mobs will become bandits. Once they merge, they will sweep the whole province. If they turn around and move eastward, they will cause trouble in Jiang, Zhejiang, and go south to the south. If this happens, let alone official hats, they are afraid that their lives will be difficult.

After pondering for a while, Lan Li said expressionlessly, "Switch on."

Shang Zhipeng bowed and said, "The army gate, because the speed of food and grass supply cannot keep up, the army is moving slowly. Following and chasing, it is probably difficult to catch up with the mob brigade. In addition, there are mountains around, and it is difficult to explore and far away. The situation is unclear. The army goes deep and is too risky. The most dangerous thing is that no one can raise food and grass in all places. Once the food and grass supply cannot be replenished, the 30,000 troops will be in chaos without fighting. I don't think that small groups should enter Dehua County lightly to find out the situation and make a decision."

Shang Zhipeng is knowledgeable, but his vision is too small. Lan Li feels quite sorry. The mobs have become bandits now, so there is no need to care about these mobs in the mountains. The mountains have always been short of food, and they can't stay for a long time. Now we need to guard against prefectures and counties that have a large amount of food in the coastal towns.

"All the generals obeyed the order." Lan Li said majesticly: "Wang Jin, the general of the Right Camp, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to carry eight-day rations, and went directly to Xinghua Prefecture through Xianyou County.

Shang Zhipeng, the general of Zuoying, led 5,000 troops back to Quanzhou and Hui'an, and collected food and grass from all over the country to stock up in Quanzhou.

The central army guerrilla Liu Xishui led 2,000 troops to Nan'an. The rest of the generals followed our governor to Zhangzhou."

"Zha!" The generals responded with a loud bang.

When the generals went out, Lan Licai urgently summoned his master to send letters to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Fan Shichong, Governor of Fujian Huang Bingzhong, and Admiral of Fujian Navy Shi Shibiao, informing them of their own judgments and countermeasures in detail.

Although the hungry people riots in Fujian were huge and affected by the six prefectures, they were mainly in towns and counties. After several days of excitement and panic, the hungry people rioted began to pass through Zhenyue County under the intentional guidance and encouragement of those who were interested and interested, and slowly merged into three larger forces.

Xianyou County Town.

Xianyou County is located between Yongchun County and Xinghua Prefecture. The mobs in Dehua County and Yongchun County, which were the earliest riots, were the most organized. After several days of chaos, a rebel army led by Zhang Zhen and Wang Fu was formed. After three days of running-in, the two rebel army formed a rebel army led by Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen as the deputy, and the number of people was tens of thousands, and the Yongde army was flagged.

As soon as the Yongde army was formed, it headed towards Xianyou County to the east, and entered the anarchic Xianyou County without any effort. Due to shortage of food, Wang Fu recruited hungry people in the city and divided them into five teams for three days to go to the nearby countryside to grab the big landlords.

The Yongde army, which had taken the banner, quickly attracted hungry people from all over Xianyou County to join. In just three days, Wang Fu absorbed three thousand young and strong people and a large amount of food. After there were some food, Wang Fu's ambition began to expand and he set his sights on Putian in Xinghua Prefecture. At this moment, he received a report that five thousand soldiers and horses rushed straight to Xianyou.

After discussing with Zhang Zhen, Wang Fu and Zhang Zhen decided that the first battle of the Yongde army would be in Xianyou. If they were defeated, they would take advantage of their own things. If they were defeated, the momentum would inevitably rise sharply and everything would be done.

The Yongde army withdrew from the county town half a day in advance. Wang Jin, the general of the Right Camp, led 5,000 troops to march for several days. He was exhausted and entered the Xianyou County. When he saw it, it was an empty city, he didn't care. He thought that like Yongchun County, the hungry people ate all the food and transferred it to other places.

Since Yongchun set out, they have been camping in the wild, with a ready-made empty city, and Wang Jin is unwilling to sleep in the wild. Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered camping.

Unexpectedly, after midnight, a fire suddenly broke out across the city. The sky was dry and the fire immediately swept across the city. The general Wang Jin knew that he had a trap and urgently ordered the troops to be gathered, but how could the camp be bombed in the middle of the night be able to be controlled in a short time? Under the pressure of the fire, he had to lead the gathered troops to evacuate the county town.

Wang Fu had been ambushing outside the gate of Siliang City. As soon as Wang Jin left the city, there were sounds of killing everywhere. Knowing that the other party was a group of unarmed mobs, his subordinates were disintegrated. When they saw an ambush, they fled their lives. At the end of the night, they could not control their robbery. No matter how they restrained them, they could not control their robbery. Seeing that things were not done, Wang Jin had to lead the remaining troops out of the siege.

In the battle of Xianyou County, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses were killed in the Right Camp of Wang Jin, and countless fled. Wang Jin gathered the defeated army all the way and fled to Putian, with only one thousand men left.

Putian County is close to Xinghua Prefecture. There are many large households in the city and the amount of grain is stored. After hearing about the hungry riot, the county government urgently mobilized large households to open warehouses and release grain, and stabilized the hungry people in time. Wang Jin led the remaining troops to flee into the county town. Before he could breathe, he heard that the Yongde army had been killed and arrived.

Seeing that the soldiers around him looked like earth, and the city walls of the county were low and broken, Wang Jin sighed and led his troops to abandon the city and fled to Xinghua Prefecture. Putian fell into the hands of Yongde Army in a blink of an eye. When the city of Putian was in the middle of Putian, the sound of killing was shocked, and countless wealthy families were destroyed.

When the news came out, the whole province of Fujian was shocked.
