Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 314 Backstab
September.

The summer drought lasted until autumn, and most of the water area of ​​Poyang Lake has shrunk. At this time, the original large lake area is like an endless flat grassland.

Even the Ganjiang River is dry and shallow. The golden waterway leading to Guangdong through the Ganjiang River in the past greatly reduced the shipping capacity. In addition, northern Jiangxi was occupied by the Qing army, while central Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi were in the hands of the Ming army. This also had a great impact. It is less than one-tenth of the lively time.

The official road outside the city of Nanchang, an important town on the right side of the river, was crowded with people. Most of them fled. Shou Xun Dao and other various levies in various yamen, and was forced to leave home.

Hong Jinglue and Luck Dehun repeatedly urged Jiangxi to deliver food and grass in Anqing. Although Huguang had just escaped from the siege, it was now in ruins, and they repeatedly sent people to borrow money and food.

The governors, admirals, and soldiers in Jiangbei also extorted violently. There are countless money and food with names and names.

In the city of Nanchang.

At this point the atmosphere became more tense.

Jin Shenghuan is on the west side of the city, Wang Tizhong is on the east side of the city, and the swords and crossbows are on the verge of firing on both sides.

"Where's Wang Deren?"

"Wang Deren heard that the general town was summoned, and he is rushing over."

"How many troops did you bring?"

"He brought ten servants with him."

It was said that Wang Tizhong was a little surprised, the atmosphere in the new city of Nanchang Mansion now, everyone knows that the fire is imminent, either he killed Jin Shenghuan in Wang Tizhong, or Jin Shenghuan destroyed him in Wang Tizhong, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, only one of them can stay.

Everything in Wang Ti is ready, but there is still one obstacle, that is Wang Deren.

Although Wang Deren was only a guerrilla under his command, he had a high prestige in his army and was brave and capable of fighting. Originally, he had [-] elite cavalry. After he killed Bai Wang, he recruited him in every possible way, and distributed him [-] soldiers , He recruited some more himself, now there are [-] cavalry, plus [-] infantry.

Especially his prestige in the army, Wang Tizhong had to guard against it. He originally wanted to appease this person, but Jiang Riguang's words made him understand that this Wang Zamao had always wanted him to avenge Bai Wang's death.

He secretly investigated and observed, and also found that Wang Zamao had indeed had close contacts with Jin Shenghuan in private.

At this point, he can only kill the killer.

Just like when he killed Bai Wang back then.

Those who hinder him will die, Bai Wang is like this, Jin Shenghuan is like this, and Wang Zamao is the same.

"General Town, I don't think that old thief Jiang can be trusted. Maybe he wants to pick us apart secretly? Wang Zamao is the most capable fighter in our army and has a high prestige. Let's kill him, isn't that right? Cut off your own arm, but make a bucket of millet a bargain?"

"I don't treat Wang Zamao well, but I can't warm a cold heart. If he insists on eating inside and out, then I can only clean up the house." Wang Tizhong gritted his teeth, "When he comes, listen to me." Act in secret."

Wang Deren dared to come alone, which was a bit beyond his expectation, and it also made him relax his vigilance. He didn't want to fight among himself unless he had to. If he could take this opportunity to control Wang Deren, then there was no need to fight among himself first. one game.

After appeasing Wang Deren's tribe and destroying Jin Shenghuan, it will not be too late to kill Wang Deren.

"Take care of Jiang Riguang!"

"What does the general town mean?"

Wang Tizhong sneered twice, "Who does Jiang Riguang think he is? The Ming Dynasty is already at this point, how can I turn to the Ming anyway? Isn't that insane? As long as I kill Jin Shenghuan, I will hold the northern Jiangxi , how can the imperial court not rely heavily on me?"

"But Jiang Riguang said that the imperial court already intends to get rid of us."

"That's why we have to launch a mutiny. After the event is completed, the entire army will shave their heads and show our loyalty to the court!"

Originally, Wang Tizhong was unwilling to shave his hair because he had a large number of people, so he did not shave it on the grounds of a man from the Han family, but now that shaving his hair is related to his life and future, naturally he shaves when he should.

······
At this time, Wang Deren was stationed in De'an, between Nanchang and Jiujiang, where the original Baiwang was stationed. He received Wang Tizhong's summons and immediately returned to the city alone.

Inside the Dongcheng Military Mansion.

Wang Tizhong greeted him personally at the door, and gave him a hug as soon as he came up.

Wang Deren's hair was covered with gray hair, but in fact he was in the prime of life, tall and burly, he was still wearing cotton armor, followed by ten family cavalry.

Hugged Wang Tizhong.

"Master Zongzhen summoned you urgently, what happened?"

"It's something important, let's go in and talk."

Wang Deren's servant was left in the outer courtyard, and Wang Tizhong followed Wang Deren into the flower hall.

"Deren, we have fought side by side for many years, and I have always treated you as a brother, and we both have the surname Wang, so we can't write two characters for Wang in one stroke."

"To be honest, Jin Shenghuan couldn't tolerate us and always wanted to get rid of us. I wanted to be patient, but he kept pushing forward. Governor Zhang recently told me that Jin Shenghuan was secretly open and wanted to rebel. The regent of Beijing and Hong Jinglue After learning about it, everyone was furious, let us find a way to get rid of Jin Shenghuan first."

Wang Deren sat there, "Is that why the chief town called me back?"

"Well, among us brothers, you are the most difficult to fight. If you want to get rid of Jin Shenghuan, you have to play forward."

Wang Tizhong poured Wang Deren a glass of wine and looked at him.

Wang Deren didn't take the wine.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"The commander-in-chief gave me a military order directly, and I obeyed the order myself, so why call me in a hurry."

The two looked at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

"Hahaha, I asked you to come back. Actually, there is one more thing I need to hear from you. Some people say that you have close contacts with Jin Shenghuan in secret. Do you want to replace me?"

Wang Deren looked directly at Wang Tizhong, "I also have something to hear you say to me, why did you kill Bai Shuai in the first place? Bai Shuai treated you well, right?"

Wang Tizhong chuckled.

"It seems that you have not been wronged. You did collude with Jin Shenghuan."

"Answer me!" Wang Zamao's gaze was like a sword.

"What can I say? I was under Bai Wang's command back then, and I was also his lieutenant general. Although I am not as brave as you, I have worked hard. The first emperor was defeated and died on Jiugong Mountain. The Dashun Dynasty collapsed. I think of my brothers and advise Bai Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he refused, and even wanted to take away my military power."

"You said, Baiwang treats me like this, isn't it normal for me to kill him? What's more, it's not my intention alone, it's the brothers' intention. Baiwang refuses to surrender, that is to disregard all brothers. safe future.

I wasn't the only one who killed Baiwang, it was everyone. "

Wang Zamao nodded.

"Very well, the reason sounds high-sounding, but I can't accept it."

Wang Tizhong's expression became colder, "So you are determined to eat inside and out?"

Wang Zamao stared at Wang Tizhong like a wolf, and suddenly he jumped up like a wolf, and rushed towards Wang Tizhong next to him. Wang Tizhong thought that everything was under control, and in his general army mansion, hundreds of elite servants had been arranged outside .

But he didn't expect that since Wang Zamao dared to bring only ten servants, he had planned it long ago. Only in this way can he lower the vigilance in Wang's body and get close to him.

The tall and burly Wang Zamao fell into the Wang body at once.

Although Wang Tizhong is also a mighty fighter, he is far inferior to Wang Zamao, not to mention this sudden attack is even more unexpected.

"Come on!"

He just yelled, but Wang Zamao had already pierced the dagger in his hand from the mouth of Wang's body, piercing through the back of the head with great force.

The king's body spurted blood and died immediately.

Wang Zamao's action was sudden and very fast. He pulled out the knife and quickly cut off Wang Tizhong's head, then rushed out while pulling his hair.

The soldiers of Wang Tizhong outside heard the call and just surrounded them when Wang Zamao in cotton armor slammed out with a loud roar. The knife rushed over.

Ten servants forced their way through the hundreds of ambush soldiers in the General Army Mansion, rushed out of the Yamen, got on their horses and galloped along the street.

Zongbing Yawai.

When one of Jin Shenghuan's cronies saw Wang Zamao rushing out of the mansion, he immediately sent a signal.

A firework exploded over the Zongbing Yamen, and soon there were also fireworks not far away, one after another, spreading from the east city to the west.

With the help of the fireworks, Jin Shenghuan, who had been waiting in armor in Xicheng for a long time, immediately lifted his spirits.

Song Kuiguang, a Chinese military officer, galloped over to report, "Wang Deren has succeeded. He chopped off Wang Tizhong's head and protruded."

Jin Shenghuan drew his saber out of its sheath, "Follow me to kill!"

The deputy generals Pan Yongxi, He Mingbi, Gai Yushi and other generals were ordered to lead their troops to the east city.

On the east side, Wang Tizhong originally planned to summon Wang Deren first, intending to put him under house arrest and deal with the collaborator around him, and then directly announce Jin Shenghuan Tongming's rebellion, and then go to the west city together with the governor Zhang Yutian and others.

Unexpectedly, he himself was directly killed by Wang Zamao who was bent on revenge.

The generals couldn't react in time, and in a moment of anger, they mobilized troops to chase and kill Wang Deren.

As soon as Wang Deren succeeded in the blow, he fled directly to Jin Shenghuan's army in Xicheng.

Ever since, the two armies fought.

The admiral and the commander-in-chief fight in the streets and alleys of Nanchang Fucheng. Although Wang Zamao climbs on the roof and holds Wang Tizhong's head high, he counts him for betraying Bai Wang, even says he is transparent, and persuades Wang Tizhong's departments to stop fighting.

Jin Shenghuan also stepped forward to recruit and appease him in various ways, such as promotion and money rewards and other temptations.

But this internal strife was not a sudden incident. Wang Tizhong had been planning for a long time, and had basically unified his thinking with the officers under him. He even pulled the governor Zhang Yutian and other platforms to reveal that Jin Shenghuan had conspired against Tongming, and the court wanted to destroy him.

Although Wang Tizhong is dead now, none of these officers are willing to lay down their weapons, not to mention Governor Zhang Yutian and Governor Dong Xuecheng also rushed over.

Ever since, persuasion to surrender and recruitment failed, and the two sides continued to fight in the city.

Jin Shenghuan's department is still at a disadvantage.

"I'm going to transfer the headquarters to help the admiral put down the chaos." Wang Deren went out of the city to transfer troops. Jin Shenghuan fought street battles with Wang Tizhong in the city for two days but failed to win.

It was not until Wang Deren led 6000 people from De'an to hold on, but he still failed to defeat Wang Tiren's department, because the governor, inspector, chief envoy and other officials all stood on the side of Wang Dezhong, which had the upper hand , making Jin Shenghuan even more unfavorable after they were labeled as rebels.

Neither of the two sides could stop fighting, fighting and fighting street by street, with blood flowing like rivers.

Neither Jin Shenghuan nor Wang Deren expected that after Wang Dezhong's death, his subordinates would still have such cohesion.

"Go and invite Governor Wan to come!"

Originally, at the beginning of the war, Jin Shenghuan kept his eyes open and always declared that Wang Tizhong was rebelling, but now that this is the case, he can't hold back the scene.

He can only invite Wanji!
