Fang Jie's attitude made everyone else very happy. Now, this matter has finally been concluded.

They were relieved and at ease!

Fang Chi has a very high prestige in the Jianghuai area. If he raises the flag, he will naturally gain support!

Wen Xu bowed slightly and asked, "In Lord Fang's opinion, what should we do next?"

His posture was very low, and it was obvious that he was mainly following Fang Jie.

Fang Jie turned to the others expressionlessly.

"We all listen to Mr. Fang's instructions."

As if it was agreed upon, everyone responded in unison.

Dong Zheng, the general of the Nanfu Army, and Liu Dong, the Qianhu of the Imperial Guards, both expressed their attitudes.

Headed by Fang Jie, Fang Jie is the one who raises the flag.

Fang Chi said: "Rebellion is not a child's play. There is no turning back when the bow is fired, just like in the grain collection department. From now on, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. I hope you will not hide it secretly and do your best!"

"It's natural."

"yes!"

Several people expressed their opinions one after another.

"You are right. Now is indeed the best opportunity to rebel. The war has just ended. The imperial troops have not returned from abroad. They are temporarily unable to pay off their taxes. There is also the implementation of the imperial examination law. There are complaints from the bureaucrats and a strong desire to resist. This is our uprising.

The foundation of it!”

Fang Chi sat down.

"There is also justice!"

He turned to Wen Xu again and said, "You have thought very carefully before. We need a puppet to act as a front. In the name of restoring the Xiao royal family, we can raise the flag of righteousness and hopefully get some support."

"Since it's a rebellion, we can't make small fuss. It's just a rebel army, a rabble, and it's destined to be difficult to achieve anything!"

Wen Xu looked at each other as he listened.

He thought to himself that these were all based on Fang Jie's experience. Back then, the Three Great Masters of Water Transport also raised the flag of righteousness and fought against the imperial court. However, their vision was too narrow and they were divided by His Majesty over the dispute over titles...

"So, we want to establish the Southern Dynasty to compete with the imperial court!"

Fang Jie said: "Absorb talents, form an army, and distribute rewards freely, and you will be able to grow your power!"

"What Mr. Fang said is absolutely true."

Everyone is interested.

If the Southern Dynasty is established, these people will have important responsibilities.

You can also give rewards in the name of the imperial court, which will naturally attract more talents.

Like the naval general Sun Pusheng they are trying to win over, he is deeply favored by the emperor, so why would he dare to rebel against you?

Naturally, there needs to be a bigger commitment.

As expected of Mr. Fang, if it has really come to this point, it will be no small matter.

Fang Chi continued: "Although Your Majesty is wise and powerful, the implementation of these new policies has caused a lot of resentment, and there are many local violators who violate the law openly and secretly. These people are also the targets of our wooing!"

"In short, win over all the people we can win over. Wealthy businessmen, powerful people, gentry and bureaucrats, as long as they resist the imperial court, they are all the people we need!"

"The Southern Dynasty will be established in Lin'an City. Lin'an was the companion capital of the previous dynasty. It is most suitable. The Xiao family we want to support is also the royal family."

In fact, he is just a puppet, and he is still an old man in his octogenarian years.

But this is not important, it just needs a name.

"When the new dynasty is established, you are all important ministers and must not be neglected."

"yes!"

Everyone started to get excited.

It seems as if they see a better life waving to them...

At this time Wen Xu asked again: "In two or three days at most, the inspector sent by the imperial court will come. He will come directly to Huaijiang City. We have no time to make arrangements before then."

Huaijiang City is the seat of the capital of Huaizhou.

And their uprising was to seize Lin'an, the capital of Jiangzhou, and to raise a banner and establish a new dynasty. This could not be accomplished in a few days.

"What do you think?"

"In my opinion, just kill him!"

The general of the Nanfu Army said: "We are rebelling, so let's kill the head of state first to sacrifice the flag!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They have all rebelled, so killing a state leader is nothing.

They were forced to rebel because of the inspector Lu Zhengyuan?

Several people have hatred in their hearts.

Fang Jie shook his head and said, "Is this a bad idea?"

Wen Xu asked in confusion: "I wonder what the best strategy is for you, sir?"

"Not only can we not kill Lu Zhengyuan, we must also find ways to win him over!"

"Coaxing?"

"right."

Fang Jie said: "Think about it, if the abbot of Daning has followed us in the rebellion, what impact will that have?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Not just to win over, but also to entrust you with important responsibilities!"

"Is this possible? He is the father of the country!"

"If you can't use coercion or inducement, it's not too late to kill him."

Fang Chi said: "The abbot of Daning can do such a ridiculous thing as coming to Daning from Liang. How is it possible for him to rebel against us?"

"It should be possible with some means."

"Leave it to me."

Liu Dong, a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, said: "The Jinyiwei has ordered eighteen sentences in prison. I don't believe he can survive it."

"Father...I also have a way."

Fang Wenyao, who had been beside him, spoke softly.

"Shut up!"

Fang Wenyao was so frightened that he immediately dared not speak. This time he was really afraid of being beaten.

Fang Chi sighed in his heart, if he had been so cruel, his son would not have caused such a disaster...

"First win over, then intimidate."

Wen Xu said: "With the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, Lu Zhengyuan can be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

This was purely disgusting to Emperor Yuanwu, who thought Wen Xu's idea was a good one.

"Let's talk about the establishment of the Southern Dynasty."

Fang Jie took the lead and everyone made suggestions.

The conspiracy lasted until dawn, and these people did not feel trapped, but rather excited.

When the Southern Dynasty is established, they will all receive important positions and also receive titles of nobility.

There is no need to pay taxes according to the wishes of the court, there is no need to worry about inventorying the world's granaries, and there is no need to implement the examination method... you can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want!

"Make arrangements first and don't leak them before they happen. When the inspector arrives, take them down and then go to Lin'an together to establish the Southern Dynasty!"

Near the end, Fang Jie made an explanation.

"yes!"

"yes!"

Everyone’s expressions became extremely solemn!

We are about to rebel. This is a road of no return. If we succeed, we will be prosperous, but if we fail, we will never recover!

The conspiracy is over, and everyone is busy making preparations and liaisons.

They mainly rely on the gentry and officials. In the past, the officials and gentry were paid as one, and with the current examination method, these people must know how to raise the flag.

As long as it has the support of officials, there will be no trouble in the place.

Wealthy businessmen are also targets of wooing. After the new dynasty is established, it will directly announce the exemption of business taxes, abolish the unified payment of grain by officials and gentry, and abolish the examination law...

In short, they will never do anything the imperial court wants to promote, so that they can gain support and raise the flag of justice!

The secret conspiracy is still going on, and many officials have received explicit hints, but they have not yet been publicized.

Dong Zheng also began to mobilize the army, and Liu Dong used his power to secretly arrest and imprison people who were loyal to the court.

According to Fang Jie's requirements, there must be no indiscriminate killing, which will lose people's hearts.

This rebellion finally became something decent.
Chapter completed!
