Nanchang.

Luo Xin took out his pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time, then he ordered the soldiers to blew the charge for attack.

For him, there were really not many challenges along the way.

The Lin'an City Battle did win a little time for the Merchant Council to stabilize in the south, but it was only a little. In such a vast area, the Merchant Council's control can be said to be extremely weak.

Many times, the wealthy families in a certain city surrendered to the merchant council, and changed their flags after some divisions. The combat effectiveness of these wealthy families was only the level of the cold weapon army ten years ago.

Faced with their muskets and artillery, it would be good if these wealthy families could resist for an hour. Many times, they could recover a county town by just sending 1,000 people, and 3,000 people could capture a state-level city.

For example, in Nanchang City, he now has only 8,000 soldiers under his command, and the rest were sent by him to attack other prefectures and counties at the same time.

After all, relatively speaking, the influence of the merchant council in this area is still very weak, and the difficulty is Lu Fei's journey.

"Boom boom boom..."

As the roar of artillery sounded, the Nanchang city gate turned into powder in the explosion, and the soldiers stood in three rows, holding their guns to keep firing the soldiers on the city wall.

However, the Nanchang soldiers on the city wall did not have any weapons to threaten them, and this way of war became almost the norm.

They are just shooting targets.

The soldiers on the Nanchang city wall fell from the wall, and chaos soon appeared on the city wall. These soldiers had never experienced such an incredible war.

Legends from the north have become reality, and now they just want to survive.

"rush!"

As the order was issued, the soldiers rushed into Nanchang City without any haste. However, as soon as they entered the city, they found some soldiers walking towards them with white flags.

They are not surprised by this situation. In fact, this is what they teach. Before siege, they always threaten in advance and ask them to surrender under the white flag.

If the opponent does not accept it, he will attack.

After passing these surrendered soldiers, the royal soldiers immediately rushed into the city. As usual, they immediately searched the members of the parliament in the city and captured the wealthy families who supported the parliament. After all, a city was thrown into the merchant council, and most of the wealthy families in the city chose the merchant council.

Luo Xin entered the city under the escort of his personal guards. He ordered his commander: "A careful search, you can't let go of a tael of silver from the wealthy family. Think about the canned food you eat, think about the grenades hanging around your waists. Without silver, you will have nothing."

Luo Xin's words made the soldiers more excited. Now it has become their habit to confiscate the property of the rich in the city, and they are willing to join the merchant's parliament.

In this way they have a reason to deprive them of their wealth.

After easily taking Nanchang, Luo Xin expanded the map. According to the current plan, the next step is Changsha. Then he will fight to Guangzhou and meet with Lu Fei.

Close the map, he shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, leave the rest to the officials, and we have to continue moving south."

While they went south, officials led by Fiji took over the cities they captured one by one. Many of these southern cities were once under the royal management. Many local officials had entered Beijing to meet Xiao Wenxuan and were very familiar with these important officials in Fiji.

Therefore, every time Fiji goes to a place, he will follow the list to find local poor families or good officials to build the government office again.

It is precisely because of this that they were able to quickly and steadily capture the cities, and they also chose to garrison some important cities to prevent them from falling back into the hands of the enemy.

On October 11, after a brief rest, Luo Xin led his troops to continue to move south. In three months, he conquered Changsha, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Shaozhou, and arrived at the city of Guangzhou in mid-January of the following year.

At this time, Lu Fei also conquered Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou and Huizhou successively arrived at the city of Guangzhou.

"Hahaha, Luo Xin!"

At the city of Guangzhou, Lu Fei couldn't help but be happy. Since they headed south, they had fought a war for a year. Now they have taken down most of the territory controlled by the merchant parliament and made rapid progress.

In front of us is Guangzhou, the largest and most prosperous occupied by the Merchant Council. As long as we conquer it, the Merchant Council will never have a place to set up a cone. The remaining war can no longer become a war, and it can only be called bandit suppression.

"Lu Fei." Luo Xin walked towards Lu Fei, and the two patted each other on the shoulders. He looked at the soldiers behind Lu Fei who were dusty but extremely refined and said, "Many of them are new faces. It seems that this group of new recruits have become veterans."

"No, in order to take the south as soon as possible, batches of new recruits went to the battlefield, and now they have become elites." Lu Fei said with a smile.

Luo Xin nodded. Not only Lu Fei, he also brought out many officers from the Army Academy along the way, and the new recruits have become old men.

But he was very glad that he had already understood a truth when studying at the Army Academy: Sometimes wars compete in comprehensive strength.

This war was destined to be a crushing force from the beginning. First of all, it was a war of royal unification, not an invasion of foreign races, and the people's resistance was not very fierce.

Those who fought with them were those who were afraid of losing their status and wealth.

Moreover, the reforms in Chu completely allowed many people who saw the truth to see the benefits of following the royal family. On the contrary, the Merchant Council has done a lot of dirty things this year.

After all, the members of the parliament are complicated and there are no one. Some members of the parliament are nowhere better than bandits, and many people hate this.

Secondly, areas dominated by agriculture are not rivals to areas with strong industrial strength.

"Hehe, this time I went south and became a schoolyard for training soldiers." Luo Xin looked at Guangzhou City in front of him, "When do you want to start fighting?"

In order to defend the city to the death, the Merchant Council arranged the last elite here, and the people who were allegedly bewitched by the Qinglong King were also in the city.

"What's the hurry? The army of our army has just met, so let the soldiers rest, eat and drink before fighting. Let's go. In order to reward us, the Emperor of the Central Committee specially rewarded Qingzhou Zui, and put some side dishes to relax tonight."

Luo Xin licked his lips. War was a very difficult thing. The soldiers who went south did not suffer many casualties in the war this time, but there were many casualties caused by mosquito bites and poisonous fog and miasma. If it weren't for the excellent medical skills of the doctors in the army, he would have really gone crazy.

When Lu Fei said this now, he really wanted to relax.
Chapter completed!
