In the central army, looking at the Qing army running around on the battlefield, Zhu Yicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the battle had finally won, and an unconcealed smile appeared on his face, but due to overwork and exhaustion over the days, his body shook involuntarily.

"Grandmaster!" The personal soldiers next to him quickly supported him: "This battle has been decided, your face is not very good, why don't you take a rest first?"

"No!" Zhu Yicheng refused, "Now is the most important moment to boost morale. How can I rest as the Lord? Please stop talking and help me get in the car!"

After saying that, although Zhu Yicheng's footsteps were heavy, he firmly boarded the high car that had been prepared. When his figure appeared on the high car, the entire battlefield made a shocking cry. The tired rebel army was instantly energetic and shouted to chase the collapsed Qing army and block the death.

Nian Gengyao's counterattack completely failed. Most of the three thousand model soldiers collapsed and died in battle. As for Wu Sheng's troops, they lost command after Wu Sheng died in battle, and soon after the system was in chaos.

When the news came back to Fenghua, Yang Xu, who learned that Nian Gengyao was defeated, was frightened. At this time, there were only Yang Xu's remaining soldiers in Fenghua City, and no other troops could resist. Looking at the heavy casualties after defending the city for a few days, looking at the shocking shouts of killing not far outside the city, Yang Xu's face was pale and he couldn't even stand firmly.

When the Ningbo army returned to Fenghua City, Yang Xu had no choice but to open the city to surrender. For Yang Xu, he could not escape now. Not to mention that Ningbo's troops were in full swing, he might not be caught up with his subordinates' casualties, and he would not be able to run far away. At that time, he would only harm the lives of these subordinates who had followed him for many years. Since that is the case, then he should surrender. Ningbo's rebel army won this battle, and most of the Jiangnan would change hands. The so-called good birds choose trees to live on. Yang Xu surrendered for his subordinates and for himself.

Yang Xu's surrender was the highest-level general captured by the rebel army since the war with the Qing army. As the general of a town, he opened the city to surrender to the rebel army, which was of great significance. For this reason, Zhu Yicheng personally met Yang Xu and agreed to treat the wounded people in his unit. At the same time, he treated the wounded people in the Qing army captured on the battlefield and properly resettled the remaining prisoners. At the same time, Yang Xu himself and some deputy generals, generals, guerrillas and other generals Zhu Yicheng also comforted him one by one. After doing this, Fenghua City also completed the handover, and finally Fenghua returned to Zhu Yicheng again.

From the loss of Fenghua to the recapture of Fenghua, less than half a month later, both sides suffered huge losses in the battle for Fenghua. Among them, the Qing army suffered more than 12,000 casualties, while Ningbo's casualties were even greater. The preliminary statistics have exceeded 20,000. If Zhu Yicheng had not secretly transferred the 5,000 elite troops from Ningbo before the decisive battle, it is still unknown who won and lost in this battle.

Speaking of which, this battle is also a dangerous battle. If Zhu Yicheng's central army failed to withstand Nian Gengyao's counterattack in the end, then Zhu Yicheng would be defeated. Fortunately, God helped Zhu Yicheng, especially killing Wu Sheng's troops, causing Wu Sheng's troops to collapse prematurely. If Wu Sheng was alive and with his command, it would not be so easy to win this battle.

Unfortunately, Nian Gengyao ran too fast. When he saw that the momentum was not good, he fled from the northwest with hundreds of people, running away without a trace before the Ningbo army surrounded him.

He took Fenghua and opened up the passage to Taizhou. When the news reached Taizhou, the Taizhou defenders cheered like thunder, but the Qing army, who was leading troops to attack fiercely, stopped attacking. Yin Huaxing decisively ordered the siege to stop the attack and gathered his troops to slowly retreat. Although Ma Gongcheng led his troops out of the city to take the opportunity to sneak attack Yin Huaxing's troops, because Yin Huaxing was cautious in marching, he did not find any opportunity and could only watch the Qing army retreat south of Wenzhou.

Although Fenghua was victorious, Ningbo suffered great losses and lost the power to attack Fujian for a while. However, due to the loss of most of Zhejiang's troops in Fenghua City, the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang were already very weak. Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yicheng ordered a row of cities such as Shaoxing, Yiwu, Lishui, etc., and one-third of Zhejiang's territory fell into the hands of Zhu Yicheng.

Zhejiang's major changes also affected the Susong battlefield. When they learned that the rebel army won a great victory in Fenghua, Jiangsu was frightened and hurriedly continued to mobilize troops from Jiangbei to enhance Suzhou's defense. Since Ningbo's strength had almost reached its expansion limit, and the Qing army had more and more reinforcements in Jiangsu, Dong Dashan could only maintain the current stalemate on the front line, and retreated slightly to the east. With the assistance of the navy, he stationed in the Songjiang area of ​​Chongming County (Chongming Island includes Taicang) to curb the Yangtze River route, and support the local rebel army, and continuously maintain military pressure on Suzhou.

In this regard, the war in Jiangnan for more than two months gradually subsided. Although small battles occurred between the Qing court and Zhu Yicheng, like the previous large-scale war, it temporarily stopped, just like two exhausted boxers, both sides gasped and stared at each other to rest, thinking about how to deal with the pain in the next round.

If everything is like this, then the next step is when both sides lick their wounds and secretly accumulate strength and prepare for another contest. From this point of view, the Qing court has a greater advantage than Ningbo. After all, whether it is population or territory, or from other perspectives, the Qing court mobilized troops and started a war is much more proactive than Ningbo. But who would have thought that at this time, other places were in chaos again, and this chaos was a major chaos that shocked the world and was directly at the critical moment to the Qing court.

Six days after the end of the Battle of Fenghua, uprisings occurred in Luoshan County, Xi County, Gushi County, Guangshan County, Zhenyang County and other places in Henan Province. The uprisingers were Zhu Jiancai who was unknown to the west of Zhejiang at that time. This uprising not only included old subordinates brought by Zhu Jiancai, but also the Bagua Sect in various places in the Central Plains. In just a few days, more than 200,000 people gathered, with great momentum and invincible attacks on cities and territories. The local forces in Henan could not resist it.

Not only that, in addition to these five counties, there were also large and large uprisings in various parts of the north, and the banner of the Bagua Sect was also attacked. All divisions respected Zhu Jiancai as the Grand Marshal of the Pingtian of the Bagua Sect. Zhu Jiancai led his troops northward and captured three counties in a row. After he took down Runan, he proclaimed himself the King of Han in Tianzhong Mountain, three miles north of the city, and summoned the world at the same time.

Just two days after Zhu Jiancai's rebellion, Yuan Qi's army came out of Poyang Lake and suddenly attacked Jiujiang. Because many people had long put on makeup and became civilians, they sneaked into the city one after another after half a month. They gathered together to kill the soldiers guarding the city while the city was in the dark. Open the city gate, most of the Qing troops guarding the city were unprepared, and Jiujiang changed hands overnight. After taking down Jiujiang, Yuan Qi's water and land army went up along Jiujiang. Before the Qing army in Wuchang could react, they swallowed Wuchang in one go, and recruited soldiers in Wuchang. Soon, a large number of water and land troops gathered 180,000, and directly controlled the three prefectures and seven counties on both sides of the Yangtze River.

At this moment, the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas were in chaos at the same time, and the entire Qing court was in a state of great trouble. When the news reached the capital, Emperor Kangxi, who was worried about the situation in Jiangnan, was stunned at first, and then thunder was furious.

"Suppress the bandits and bandits! How did it become like this now? And! What is the gossip sect? How could so many sects appear overnight? What exactly are the court doing?" Kangxi rarely got angry in the court, and he threw the urgent memorials in his hand to the ground.

The officials in the court were so scared that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. No one expected such a big change. It was obvious that some time ago that Yin Huaxing had already quelled the rebels in western Zhejiang, but now there are only Ningbo rebels who have not yet been wiped out. However, in just three months, not only Ningbo rebels defeated the Qing army, but also captured one-third of Zhejiang, Chongming, Songjiang and other territories, and even the Central Plains were in chaos.

Such a dazzling change is simply incredible and unbelievable. In addition, as Kangxi asked, the rebellion of this gossip sect is so powerful that even some people in Shanxi responded to the uprising. This kind of civil organization has existed for a long time. Why hasn't the local area ever reported it? And he sat down and watched it grow so big?

In fact, during the Qing Dynasty, the number of folk religions never decreased. The White Lotus Sect was the most famous one. The Qing court has been on guard against the White Lotus Sect, but the White Lotus Sect is not a fool. The missionary did not use the name of the White Lotus Sect, but the various sects developed by it.

These sects have various banners and different doctrines. Of course, the main purposes are the same. In addition to the changes in propaganda model and other means, not to mention ordinary people, even the officials in the court believe in religion.

This cannot be blamed on them, because the Qing Dynasty believed in religion, and started from the shamanism outside the pass, and later Tibetan Buddhism. After entering the pass, there were many other religions. Even "famous kings" like Kangxi once believed in Christianity, and more of his sons believed in religion. If you don't mention the others, just talk about the Fourth Prince. What happened to the famous Yonghe Palace in the later generations? Friends who want to know will understand it by checking it online.

"All of them are mute?" Seeing that the officials did not say a word, Kangxi's anger became even more intense and immediately shouted.
