The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 752: Holy Fire Spreads Across the Prairie
At this Ming Cult alliance, Fang Hao reiterated the purpose of expelling the Tartars and rebuilding the country.

On that day, flames shot up into the sky in front of the sacred fire altar, and incense spread all over the place. The prosperity of the Ming Cult far exceeded that of previous generations.

When the elderly church members saw the prosperity today and thought of the divisions over the years, they could not help but cry for joy.

That night, Fang Hao summoned the high-ranking members of the Ming Cult and the local altar masters present and announced that all places should rise up to resist the Yuan court. The followers of various sects needed to support each other and make the Yuan court exhausted, and then great things could be accomplished.

After formulating the strategy, Fang Hao ordered Yang Xiao, the Left Protector of Light, and Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King, to take charge of the headquarters and be responsible for logistics matters such as the mobilization of food and fodder, weapons and equipment, etc.

Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, led his followers under the banner of the Sky Eagle and started an uprising in Jiangnan.

Fang Hao personally led Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others to start an uprising in Fengyang.

Master Shuo Bu De led Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Luo Wensu and others to start an uprising in Yingzhou, Henan.

Peng Yingyu led Xu Shouhui, Zou Puwang and others to start an uprising in Gan, Rao, Yuan and Xin states in Jiangxi.

Taoist Priest Tieguan led Bu Sanwang, Meng Haima and others to start an uprising in the Hunan, Chu, Jingxiang and other areas.

Zhou Dian led Zhima Li, Zhao Junyong and others to start an uprising in Xusu and Fengpei areas.

Leng Qian, together with the religious followers in the Western Regions, cut off the Mongolian reinforcements heading to the Central Plains from the Western Regions.

This arrangement strategy was most likely designed by Yang Xiao and Fan Yao. Yang Xiao was well aware of the situation in various places of the Ming Cult, and Fan Yao often went in and out of the Prince Ruyang's Mansion and was also familiar with the Yuan court's military equipment in various places.

Fang Hao issued the Iron Flame Order one by one in front of everyone, and after receiving the order, everyone took action.

The blazing holy fire of the Ming Cult burned across the land of China, and the peasant uprising it triggered will eventually sweep across the world.

……

"Yang Zuo Shi, I only have two Holy Fire Orders in my hand now. I will give this one to you. At the critical moment, you have the right to execute first and report later with the Holy Fire Order!" Fang Hao said.

"Yang Xiao has received the order!" After Yang Xiao received the Holy Fire Order, he hesitated and said, "Master, a son of a wealthy family should not stay in the temple. You should stay in the main temple and coordinate the troops. Why do you have to fight on the front line yourself?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Leading troops to revolt and resist the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty is a matter of life and death. As the leader of the sect, I must set an example. Otherwise, how can I talk about restoring the country!"

What Fang Hao said was just the superficial reason. The real reason was, if the team was not led by Fang Hao himself, would they still recognize Fang Hao in the future?

Fang Hao's words were not alarmist. In the original timeline, Zhang Wuji also took the position of the leader of the Ming Cult, but he left all the matters of marching and fighting to the leaders of the local branch temples.

The fruits of victory in overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty were ultimately seized by this guy Zhu Yuanzhang.

In retrospect, Zhang Wuji's indecision and sentimentality were important reasons, but Zhu Yuanzhang's leading by example and gaining the support of the majority of believers were also important factors.

After Yang Xiao left, Fang Hao summoned the backbone members of the Hengshan rebel army and held another internal meeting.

Those who attended this meeting were all the original team that Fang Hao had fought for, and they are also very likely to become the loyal followers of the future new dynasty.

Therefore, whether it was Lu Bo, Han Gou'er, or the brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen, they were all extremely excited.

They followed Fang Hao because they were inspired by his personal charm and peerless martial arts. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Fang Hao became the leader of the Ming Cult. The surprise came so suddenly.

"Master, how should we start the uprising next? Please give us a set of rules." Xu Da asked.

Compared with the past, the current Hengshan Volunteer Army has expanded. In addition to the 1,500 soldiers distributed in Dahengshan, Goddess Lake, and Butterfly Valley, there are also 500 sharp gold flags brought by Zhuang Zheng, which is 2,000 soldiers. Unlike the mob of refugees, the 2,000 soldiers under Fang Hao are all highly skilled in martial arts and have experienced many battles.

Furthermore, with Fang Hao's prestige, it would not be difficult to gather a refugee force of thousands of people in Dingyuan and Mingguang counties in a short period of time. This would already be a very powerful force, and occupying the entire Haozhou would be a piece of cake.

What they need to consider is what to do next.

Go north or go south? This will determine the future fate of the Yokoyama righteous army.

"Although the Yuan court is already corrupt, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Especially since Prince Ruyang still controls the most powerful army of the Yuan court. Therefore, going north is not a good idea for the time being," said Fang Hao.

Fang Hao is very clear that his base is in the south. Zhu Yuanzhang in the original timeline has already told Fang Hao the correct answer on how to conquer the world.

First, he took the land west of the Huai River, then went down the river and captured Jiqing. He defended the area with the help of natural barriers, built high walls, stored up abundant food supplies, slowly declared himself king, waited for the right opportunity, and then took over the world.

"What we need to do is head south!" Fang Hao said firmly.

Two days later, Guo Zixing and Zhu Yuanzhang's troops in Fengyang, and Fang Hao, Xu Da and others in Haozhou, all started the rebellion almost at the same time.

Prefects and darugchihua from all over the country abandoned their cities and fled. Fang Hao occupied the entire Haozhou without bloodshed.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Hao marched non-stop and headed straight for the Yuan army camp located in Hengjian Mountain in Dingyuan County.

Here, there is a Yuan Dynasty army of tens of thousands stationed. The commander is Miao Daheng, who is quite brave. His troops are called the "Long Spear Army" because they are good at using long spears.

Fang Hao's Haozhou volunteer army arrived very quickly. When Mr. Miao received the news, Fang Hao's army had already surrounded the gate of the spear army's camp.

When Mr. Miao put on his armor and went out, he found that the person commanding the troops on the opposite side was Fang Hao of the Yokoyama Righteous Army.

Mr. Miao couldn't help but grinned: "Fang Hao, you came to me on your own even though I didn't go looking for you!"

It turned out that as a powerful soldier recruited by the Yuan court, Miao Daheng often had to suppress the surrounding rebel forces.

Unfortunately, he had launched several expeditions against Fang Hao's Hengshan rebels, but was never able to defeat them. Miao Daheng had always been dissatisfied and believed that Fang Hao won by relying on the natural barrier of the Hongshi Gorge in Dahengshan.

This time Fang Hao actually came to the door himself, he is looking for death!
After saying that, Mr. Miao did not hesitate, he mounted his horse, gathered his men, and led them to charge out.

After leaving the village gate, Mr. Miao discovered the difference of the soldiers in Fang Hao's hands. Not only were they all strong and vigorous, but almost all of them were wearing armor. They were obviously elite soldiers.

Mr. Miao's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong, but Fang Hao on the opposite side had already taken the lead and led the Hengshan righteous army to rush towards him.

Tycoon Miao did not want to think too much, and said loudly: "Brothers, kill the enemy and serve the country, collect the reward, today, follow me to break through the enemy's formation!"

As he spoke, Mr. Miao rode out on his horse and attacked Fang Hao head-on.

"Kill!" The long sword in Mr. Miao's hand danced into a crescent shape. With the help of the horse's momentum and an unstoppable momentum, he slashed towards Fang Hao.

Fang Hao held the Yitian Sword in his hand, the sword light was like a dragon, sweeping out and passing by Mr. Miao.

"Shh!"

What a huge head flew up into the sky. The sword in Fang Hao's hand was so sharp that it cut off the sword in Mr. Miao's hand along with the head.
