Daye 14th, March 16th.

Yu Wenhuaji launched a mutiny, and Yang Guang committed suicide in the palace.

The outbreak of this incident made the entire Jiangnan area more and more precarious.

Yu Wenhuaji, who had successfully mutinied, was not too complacent at this time, because Yangzhou City was now under the eyes of the Human Revolutionary League.

Once the Human Revolutionary League sends troops to the Northern Expedition, Yangzhou City will bear the brunt.

In addition, many Guanzhong soldiers of the imperial guards were panic-stricken and did not want to stay in Yangzhou City for a moment. Yu Wenhuaji also took advantage of this to successfully complete the mutiny, so naturally he would not ignore this point.

Finally, one month after the mutiny took place, Yuwen Huaji took 40,000 imperial guards, 20,000 Yangzhou defenders, plus a large number of gold and silver jewels and powerful landlords, with a total population of 180,000, and headed for Luoyang in a mighty way. .

At this moment, Bai Yulou, who had not moved all this time, suddenly appeared in the southeast direction of Yuhuaji with the Yangtze River Squadron and an army corps.

Yu Wenhuaji's Chinese army.

Two fast horses approached quickly.

Report! Urgent report from the rear!

Yu Wenhua and Zema looked at the two nights: What's the matter?

One of them, Ye Bushou, hastily pulled back his horse, and said out of breath, Huhu... Kun... The Kun bandits appeared on the river less than 12 miles away from the rear army.

Damn it! Yu Wenhuaji's expression was gloomy and dignified.

Yuwen Zhiji, Sima Dejian, Linghu Xingda and others who stood on the left and right also changed their faces drastically. If it was other rebels, they would be able to defeat the opponent with their 60,000 troops. .

But facing the Human Revolutionary Union, they really didn't have the courage to fight head-on.

Just when Yu Wenhuaji and the others were in a state of desperation.

The Yangzhou defenders who didn't want to leave at first, and some Jiangnan people in the imperial guards, under the instigation of the black guards, broke out an uncontrollable roar.

The rear army was almost all Yangzhou soldiers. Yuan Rang, who was in charge of the Yangzhou Army, was attacked by more than a dozen black guards. Yuan Rang and six or seven officers were hacked to death.

Kill the powerful and divide the land!

People's Revolutionary League, mu catty tax!

Some of the ordinary soldiers who had defected to the Human Revolutionary League,

He quickly took his fellow countrymen and friends to kill the officers of the 20,000-year-old army.

Facing the violent uprising of grassroots soldiers, these officers could not resist at all, and less than 600 people fled to Yu Wenhuaji's Chinese army.

When Yu Wenhuaji heard that the soldiers in the rear army were rioting, his chest was filled with blood, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

And what was even more frightening was that the Jiangnan soldiers in the central army and the former army also began to become unstable at this time.

Prime Minister! It's not good to go on like this! Linghu Xingda looked around in fear.

Others also began to receive urgent reports from their officers, and several conflicts between Jiangnan soldiers and Guanzhong soldiers had broken out.

At this moment, the dragon boat fleet transporting money and food encountered the Yangtze River Squadron.

The scale of this dragon boat fleet is not small, with a total of 23 five-toothed ships (with a displacement of about 1,700 tons) and 57 yellow dragon ships (with a displacement of about 200 tons).

However, these powerful building ships of the Sui Dynasty were basically helpless in the face of the Yangtze River Squadron with artillery.

Although Yuwen Xincheng, the captain of the dragon boat fleet, used the method of a strong man to cut off his wrists, set five five-toothed ships on fire, blocked the Grand Canal, and prevented the Yangtze River Squadron from chasing and killing.

But Yuwen Xincheng is very clear about the Grand Canal. The northern section has been occupied by several insurgents, and some of the insurgents who were afraid of Yang Guang going north deliberately blocked part of the canal.

Yuwen Xincheng knew very well that the strategy of burning ships and blocking the river could only delay for a day or two at most.

He quickly reported to Yu Wenhua and asked him to make a decision.

Smoke billowed from the canal.

The Army's 4th Corps had already killed the rear of the civil strife, leaving a battalion on the spot to gather these rebels, and another battalion to take down those powerful families who followed Yu Wenhua and fled north.

As for the forced conscripts, as soon as they heard that the army of the People's Revolutionary League had arrived, and the escorted Sui soldiers were in civil turmoil, they immediately took the escorted food, grass, cloth, etc., and ran back to the army's side.

Bad news came one after another, and Yu Huaji had already sensed the danger.

Dejian, Zhiji, you immediately call out the Guanzhong soldiers and private soldiers of the rich family from the general. Everyone brings food and property, and burns everything that can't be taken away.

Xingda, then take 3,000 cavalry to the canal to meet Xincheng, and let Xinda burn all the ships. You must not leave a single ship for the Kun bandits.

Obey!

Looking at the cavalry galloping away on horseback, Yu Wenhuaji felt a sense of desolation that the situation was over.

In the chaotic battlefield, even if Yuhuaji ordered to stop the loss in time at a critical moment, it still suffered heavy losses.

Two days later, Yu Wenhua fled to Pengcheng County with more than 50,000 people in a panic.

In addition to the 13,000 Guanzhong soldiers, these people are the officers of the Sui Army in the south of the Yangtze River and their personal soldiers, as well as the ministers of the Sui court and people from the powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ordinary people can stay, but they don't have the courage to face the censorship of the People's Revolutionary Federation, especially those who often oppress the people. If they stay, they will either die or be dragged into mining.

Using artillery to open the way, coupled with the marines chasing from the shore, the Yangtze River Squadron completely defeated the dragon boat fleet moored near Gaoyou.

Yuwen Xincheng was killed on the spot. Although some ships were burned, Baiyulou still captured 13 Wuya ships, 27 Huanglong ships, and a large amount of food, gold, silver and jewelry.

Looking at the map, Bai Yulou didn't intend to stop, and directly ordered the navy to continue the attack.

At this time, neither Gaoyou Lake nor Hongze Lake had formed, and it was still a low-lying plain. Yuhuaji, who had a large number of cavalry, could escape.

But the goal of Baiyulou is not Yuhuaji, but the plains along the Grand Canal and the lower reaches of the Huaihe River.

Li Zitong, who was driven to Gaoyou before, was made dumplings directly, because the Donghai Second Squadron stationed on Tianheng Island had captured the entire Donghai County three days ago, and Zang Junxiang's uprising army in Donghai was wiped out.

But Yu Wenhuaji, Li Zitong and others didn't know the situation in the north, after all, they didn't have wireless telegraph communication.

After those Donghai counties, the Second Donghai Squadron quickly entered the Huaihe River, and has captured Shanyang County, completely blocking the possibility of Li Zitong fleeing north.

Half a month later, Li Zitong tried to cross the Grand Canal at night and fled to Anyi County to the west of the Grand Canal.

When he came to the middle of the canal on a raft with more than 500 remnants and defeated generals, hundreds of flames were lit around the river.

Boom boom boom...

Dozens of howitzers smashed into a large raft at high speed.

Li Zitong's eyes widened with anger: Heaven will kill me!

Immediately, he wiped his neck with a knife, committed suicide on the river, and became another hero of the end of the Sui Dynasty who ended up under the hands of Ren Ge.

The battle in the eastern part of Jianghuai made Du Fuwei, Zhou Faming, Lin Shihong, and Xiao Xian feel unprecedented pressure.

After all, their power is in the Yangtze River. Once the NRRL navy advances westward along the river, it will not be able to resist the strong ships and guns of the NRRL.

Du Fuwei even planned to build a batch of wooden boats, carrying stones and pouring them into the water of the Yangtze River channel, completely blocking the westward advance of the warships of the People's Revolutionary League.

At the same time, with the great help of Shamen, the Li family also successfully entered Daxing City and changed Daxing to Chang'an.

On the side of the Young Marshal Army, on the basis of Liangdu, they successively captured Pengcheng County, Jiyin County, Dongping County, and Qiao County, and their strength grew rapidly.

At this time, the situation in various parts of the Central Plains became more and more clear.
