The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Hongdu City, the rebel camp.

The rebels' pseudo-left Prime Minister Li Shishi and the pseudo-right Prime Minister Liu Yang are sitting at the wine table, congratulating themselves on capturing the important town of Hongdu City.

Prince Ning did not participate in the celebration banquet. There is a magistrate's wife who is still charming in Hongdu City. The first question he asked his subordinates after entering the city was: "Are there any beautiful women in the city?"

The subordinates captured the prefect's wife and presented it to Prince Ning. At this moment, Prince Ning was studying the word Kun with the beautiful woman.

Li Shishi smiled and said: "It is said that Taizu's battle to establish the country was a great victory at Poyang Lake. In fact, it was not. I thought it should be a battle to defend the city of Hongdu. At the beginning, Chen Youliang and Taizu fought for the world. If Hongdu, guarded by Zhu Wenzheng, was captured, I'm afraid The whole world has the surname Chen.”

Liu Yangzheng echoed: "What Prime Minister Li said is absolutely true. After capturing Hongdu, the next step is to attack Anqing. After capturing Anqing, Yingtian will also be in the bag. Then the south and the north will confront each other. Let us follow Taizu's example and send generals The Northern Expedition is as easy as taking control of the Central Plains!"

Two of King Ning's dog-headed military advisors were sitting there dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period.

At this moment, a rebel officer hurriedly walked in: "Two Prime Ministers. There are countless messages posted in Hongdu City!"

Li Shishi was stunned: "Essay? Who wrote it? What is the content?"

Qian Shi took out the memorandum and saw the big words on it: "Commander Xu Tai and others led the border troops, and Commander Liu Hui and others led the Beijing army. In addition, Qin Jin, governor of Huguang, Yang Dan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Wang Shouren, governor of southern Gansu, led the troops of various garrison stations. A total of 160,000 people are splitting up to attack the Hongdu rebels. The people of Hongdu do not need to panic and wait for the arrival of the heavenly troops to save the people from the fire. "

Li Shishi was stunned after seeing this: "Where did 160,000 Ming troops appear in Jiangnan?"

Liu Yangzheng smiled and said: "This is just someone bluffing. Don't worry about it."

Li Shishi nodded: "Yes. It must be a bluff to disrupt the morale of my army."

The next day, this matter reached the ears of King Ning.

His Royal Highness Prince Ning's body and bones are truly amazing. After spending the whole night with the beautiful woman, he was able to handle military affairs as usual the next day.

Qian Shi informed King Ning about the proclamation appearing in Hongdu City.

Prince Ning frowned: "Someone is challenging Gu!"

Li Shishi said: "If my guess is correct, the person who concocted this memorandum should be Wang Shouren of southern Jiangxi. When his eyes and ears came to report, Wang Shouren gathered a group of mud-legged people in southern Jiangxi to form a mob of 100,000 people."

King Ning slapped Long An: "Bold Wang Shouren! How dare you go against Gu! Well, Gu will wait for him in Hongdu City for half a month. Gu Dao wants to see what this soldier immortal is capable of! Gu Dao wants to see , The hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves who have been trained so hard can't defeat Wang Shouren's 100,000 rabble!"

King Ning had already been fooled by Wang Shouren when he made this decision.

For King Ning's rebels, the stupidest strategy at the moment is to stagnate.

Liu Yangzheng quickly dissuaded him: "Your Highness, you must not do this! Hongdu is not a place to stay for a long time, and the best strategy is to go to Anqing as soon as possible!"

Prince Ning is born in the year of a donkey, and will fall back if he is not led away. King Ning said angrily: "I have decided to be alone! Just wait for Wang Shouren in Hongdu!"

After all, Li Shishi had been a censor of the capital, and his tongue was as bright as a lotus flower. He persuaded with earnest words: "Your Highness, it is said that soldiers are valuable and quick."

"Our army only has the strength of half of the province of Jiangxi. The puppet Ming army has the military and financial resources of twelve and a half provinces in the two capitals. Our army simply does not have the capital to compete with the puppet imperial court."

"In the early days of the Jingnan period, Zhu Di also made the mistake of confronting Emperor Jianwen. His territory was always limited to the Hebei area."

"In the end, it was Dao Yan who gave Zhu Di a brilliant idea to bypass the tug-of-war battlefield in Shandong and go straight to Yingtian. Only then did Jingnan win."

"Your most reasonable strategy now is to take advantage of the various puppet Ming armies in the south of the Yangtze River before they gather in large numbers. Quickly capture Anqing and then attack Yingtian. With Nanjing in hand, you will have the opportunity to confront the Zhengde puppet emperor across the river. capital." Li Shishi's words persuaded King Ning seven points.

Prince Ning murmured in a low voice: "Well, what you said makes some sense."

At this moment, a man named Sun Shisan appeared in front of King Ning.

Sun Shisan was to Prince Ning as Chang Feng was to Emperor Zhengde.

In order to rebel, King Ning had already secretly established a "Buyi Town". The target is the imperial guards. To run secret errands just for him.

Sun Shisan is the commander-in-chief of Buyi Town. This man used to be a government servant, but he was dismissed by the government for colluding with gangsters. He simply became a gangster. Later, he joined Prince Ning's family and was appreciated by Prince Ning.

Compared with Chang Feng's ability, Sun Shisan is just a little ant.

Sun Shisan said: "Your Highness, I captured a puppet spy at the city gate last night. He carried a wax pill with him. There is a confidential letter hidden in the wax pill."

Prince Ning quickly asked: "Confidential letter? Who wrote it to whom?"

Sun Shisan replied: "The detailed confession was written by Wang Shouren to the two prime ministers Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng."

Prince Ning frowned: "Oh? Show it to me!"

Sun Shisan presented the wax pill secretly.

King Ning unfolded the secret letter. The content of this secret letter is roughly as follows: Hello, Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, hello! I am Wang Shouren, Xiao Wang.

You have done a great job in lurking around this fool, Prince Ning. Xiao Wang, I am very happy. I have already submitted a letter to the imperial court, and after the rebellion is suppressed, I will give you a real power minister Dangdang.

Ah, by the way, now Xiao Wang has a big thing to ask of you.

You must persuade King Ning to attack Anqing and Nanjing quickly. I have built a wall of iron and steel in Nanjing, and I am just waiting for this fool like Prince Ning to come and hit me with blood!
Don't let him stay in Hongdu City! He is guarding Hongdu, and Xiao Wang and I cannot attack from both front and back.

Prince Ning, this big fool, is the key to our promotion of official positions!
If you have any questions in the future, please contact me directly, Xiao Wang!
After reading the secret letter, Prince Ning stared at Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng with his big copper bell-like eyes, full of suspicion.

Rebellious people tend to be suspicious. After King Yan proclaimed himself emperor and became the Yongle Emperor, everyone looked like Jianwen Yudang, and this was how Guamanchao started.

However, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng had followed King Ning for many years. King Ning was not sure that these two were court spies.

Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng knew that they might have been framed by Wang Shouren through counterintuitive tactics. They were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and did not dare to express their anger.

Finally, Prince Ning made a decision: "This is just Wang Shouren's countermeasure! How could I be fooled?"

Suddenly, he changed the topic: "But let's put the plan to march into Anqing and attack Nanjing on hold for now! Stay in Hongdu for now and wait and see what happens!"

Wang Shouren's delaying strategy was accomplished!

On the Jiangnan side, Wang Shouren's counterinsurgency work was progressing smoothly.

In the capital, Emperor Zhengde's counter-rebellion army also completed its oath and left the city in a mighty manner.

Except for Liu Xiaoyan, who stayed in the capital, the rest of the Chang family went on the expedition. The banners of the 150,000-strong army covered the sun, and the yellow dust billowed southward. (End of chapter)
