I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Soon, the unrest that swept across the Huaihe River region began.

At the same time, Li Tian was also traveling along the coast.

The guards from the Western Factory passed the news to Xiao Weizi.

But seeing that His Majesty was so calm, Xiao Weizi simply asked the Western Factory's guards to inform Rand of the news, and then continued to accompany the emperor on his tour.

Rand, who was training new recruits in Binhai, received news of the unrest among the canal workers.

"It turns out that His Majesty had already guessed this step, so he ordered me to be the chief of the grain transport."

Rand shuddered at the thought of his brother-in-law's skills.

It's amazing!

I thought there would be no battle to fight when I came to Yuhang!

The battle is coming so soon!

The Emperor's brother-in-law really values me!

Rand is full of confidence.

Although he had only two thousand new recruits under his command, together with the militia drawn from the Jiaozhou officials, the total number was less than ten thousand.

But at that time, Rand was able to defeat Beimang's 20,000 cavalry with only 8,000 men.

How could these mutinous cannon workers compare with the Northern Mang cavalry!

And Rand still has two thousand musket barrels!

Rand immediately led his new recruits south from the coastal area and attacked the mutinous canal workers heading north!

Without Li Tian knowing it, his brother-in-law and other court officials stabbed Li Tian in the back!

Rand is a famous general of the time!

The two thousand personal soldiers under his command were elite troops that even the Beimang cavalry were not afraid of.

There is also a musket barrel, a magical artifact that is ahead of its time!

Some of the rebels on the Huai River were soldiers from the governor-general's household.

These are all local bandits. They are okay at bullying ordinary people, but when they encounter real troops, they are like an egg hitting a rock.

The rest were some instigated boat workers.

They have little fighting power and lack even basic discipline.

Although the riots of the canal workers on the Huai River were quite loud, in Rand's eyes, they were just a mob.

More importantly, the Caogong Rebellion had no justification at all.

The long-standing problems of river transportation were not only known to the imperial court.

The counties along the canal supported river transportation, but it was also not once or twice that they were exploited by river transportation.

It can be said that the entire Huaihe River does not have a good impression of river transportation.

The result is that Rand's advance is very fast, and the local people will lead the way for them and look for the rebels!

Rand crushed the enemy all the way and headed north along the River Bin!

It took less than three days to quell the unrest in the northern part of the Huai River.

It was heading straight for Huaihe City where the Governor of Grain Transport was located.

At this time, people in Huaihe City were in panic.

The change in river transport broke out suddenly and Huaihe City was unprepared.

The canal workers along the Huai River, with the help of Pan Dazhuang, quickly captured Huaihe City.

The Yuhang District of the Great Zhou had been peaceful for a long time, and the situation had become lax.

The militiamen here are all local militiamen and have no combat effectiveness at all.

Pan Dazhuang was elected as leader by the canal workers.

Pan Dazhuang even shouted the slogan of "clearing the court" and planned to march towards Kyoto.

The incident happened suddenly and Pan Dazhuang didn't have time to make too many arrangements.

I thought that a million canal workers were strong enough.

But before Pan Dazhuang could leave the city, he received news that Rand had led his troops south.

Rand was a famous general of his time. Several thousand cavalrymen defeated the 20,000 cavalrymen of Beimang.

The name of General Lan has long been widely known among storytellers in Yuhang.

When the rebels in Huaihe City heard the news that Rand was heading south from Binhai, they became uneasy.

The following news frightened Pan Dazhuang so much that he trembled all over.

Rand led two thousand personal soldiers, plus militia troops drawn from various places.

It took less than two days to quell the unrest in the northern part of the Huai River!

The massive rebellion of the canal workers was suppressed in an instant!

Now the grain transport troops from all over the country have stopped their activities.

The most powerful one is the one in Huaihe City.

What is despair?

Pan Dazhuang regrets!

Instead of being a governor of the grain transport system, he chose to be a rebel leader.

Now I have become the first one to be exposed.

Yu Yuanhui, the leader of the Cao Gang, had already sneaked back to Yuhang.

The young prince Li Guangmao even fled overnight.

What a bunch of unreliable teammates!

Pan Dazhuang looked at the outside of Huaihe City in despair. The Rand flag had been raised!

Rand looked at Huaihe City, raised his whip and said:

"Capture Huaihe City for me and present it to His Majesty!"

Pan Dazhuang looked at the troops outside the city in despair.

He was just a civil servant and had no experience in leading troops in battle.

He could only give away all his wealth and let his soldiers defend Huaihe City to the death.

"Hold on, there's still a chance!"

Pan Dazhuang said to his soldiers.

But Pan Dazhuang didn't know that Rand's soldiers had already buried Lei Dan outside the city wall.

Just as night fell, the soldiers on patrol in Huaihe City suddenly heard a loud noise.

The originally solid walls of Huaihe City suddenly collapsed!

The soldiers, holding their muskets, rushed into Huaihe City at a rapid speed.

Lei Dan is really powerful.

A small can of thunder pills actually destroyed such a solid and tall city wall!

Even the soldiers around Rand were shocked to see such power.

It can be said that the way of war was changed by Lei Dan.

In the past, a siege of a strong city like Huaihe would take at least several months.

They also had to use tunnels, catapults, siege ladders and other weapons to attack in turns.

Only when the defenders have run out of ammunition and food, or are too exhausted to respond, will there be a chance to break through.

The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty started his career in the north.

When the founding emperor led his army south from the north, he was stopped in Huaihe City for half a year.

Huaihe City is also called the Gateway to Yuhang.

This historic city has solid walls several meters high.

The city is rich in resources, enough for the defenders to hold out for a year.

Pan Dazhuang originally wanted to hold out for a few months and then surrender after the officers and soldiers were exhausted.

Maybe I can save my life.

But Pan Dazhuang did not expect that something like Lei Dan would appear that would change the way of war.

With Lei Dan, even siege weapons are no longer needed.

The same is true for weapons with terrifying lethality, such as the musket barrel.

Those soldiers wearing heavy armor were like paper in front of the musket barrel!

Under Rand's command, the soldiers quickly occupied the tower and the city wall!

Then they arrested Pan Dazhuang who was still asleep.

Rand immediately released the censor Tian Liang who was captured by Pan Dazhuang.

Tian Liang quickly took over the government office in Huaihe City.

At daybreak, the entire Huaihe City was completely under the control of the officers and soldiers.

Huaihe City is the center of the entire rebel army.

After the capture of Huaihe City, several surrounding rebel forces immediately announced their surrender.

Even a strong city like Huaihe City fell, how could those canal workers who didn't even know martial arts resist?

Overnight, the mutiny on the Huai River was quelled.

And Li Tian in Binhai had no idea that he had been stabbed in the back by so many people!

Li Tian, who was still in Binhai, was in a very good mood.

I just received news a few days ago that river transportation was cut off.

It’s good that river transportation is cut off!

Li Tian was overjoyed!

This means that the inspection of river transport has failed!

it is good!

Wouldn’t the country’s fortune drop by 10,000 points now?

Very good!
