The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 223
Su Guansheng hurriedly took the newspaper from the pond to read it, and saw that it said: Rebel against King Chen's troops along the way, it was like entering an uninhabited land, the march was very fast, and now they even went to the east of Jiangle.

He couldn't help frowning, Wang Chen had just entered Yanping Mansion last night, and arrived in Jiangle in just one day, this speed is too fast.

"The imperial court spread all over Fujing, and the king of Chen joined forces to plot rebellion, and ordered all the defense areas to intercept and kill them." Zhu Yuao said angrily, "However, there are more than [-] troops stationed along the way from Shaowu to Yanping, and no one dares to move! They are all useless trash! "

His confidants bowed their heads and remained silent, but they were all muttering in their hearts, you just now know that these garrisons are trash?If they are useful, there is no such thing as Jianlu raging.

But how did they know that the Ming army along the way did not dare to intercept King Chen, they were trembling and respectful.

Lu Chang and Song Jincheng were ordered by Zhu Linmi at Shanguan to lead their troops to escort tens of thousands of prisoners of war and march all the way with great fanfare.

There are more than 2 captive soldiers in front of them, like bereaved dogs. The officials along the way have never seen such a scene, and Chen Wang's troops were immediately imagined by them as the existence of heavenly soldiers and generals.

It was not until the imperial court issued an edict that King Chen had rebelled, that Lu Chang and Song Jincheng stopped the prisoners in Sha County.

And when Chen Wang pacified Jiangxi, his reputation had spread far and wide, and this time it was spread even more miraculously. In addition, officials from all over the country also got some news from Tianxing Mansion, so no one wanted to go to this muddy water. It is to wait and see.

Zhu Yu'ao's lingering anger still persisted, while Li Hui, the soldier of the Ministry of War whom he had temporarily appointed to be in charge of the Ministry of War, rushed to the Palace of the Assistant Government again.

Li Huitong entered the room, saluted hastily, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

Zhu Yu'ao was in a fit of anger, and couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, "What's wrong with being flustered?!"

"Yes, yes..." Li Hui regained his composure and said, "I just got the news that Liu Ruolin, the captain of the imperial camp, got drunk at a banquet last night and broke his leg in his courtyard..."

"What?!" Zhu Yu'ao asked anxiously, "How is the injury?"

"I'm afraid...it's hard to lead the troops..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yu'ao raised his head helplessly, closed his eyes tightly, and took a deep breath. Liu Ruolin is the most capable general in his lineage, and he shoulders the important task of commanding the imperial camp.Now that the battle is imminent, this person is drunk and injured!
The imperial battalion has just recruited 3000 people from Huang Mingjun's troops recently, and has expanded to nearly [-] soldiers and horses.Zhu Yu'ao took out his private money to equip him with a lot of armor and weapons, which is the combat power he relies on the most, but who will be in charge of this team now?
He turned to look at Su Pin, but saw that the latter bowed his head silently and took half a step back.

On the side, Su Guansheng saw Tang Wang's complexion, knowing that he was worried about Liu Ruolin's matter, he cupped his hands, "Your Highness, the army cannot be without a commander for a day. Especially when the army of rebellious ministers is approaching, there should be a strong general to lead the army to meet the enemy."

"Oh?" Zhu Yu'ao turned his head, "Does Yulin have a suitable candidate?"

Su Guansheng immediately said: "The minister recommends one person, who will surely lead the army to strangle Chen Ni."

"Who, tell me!"

"It's the former Ganzhou guerrilla general named Zhang An."

"Zhang An?" Zhu Yu'ao pondered intently, but had no memory.

"Your Highness," Su Guansheng continued, "this person was originally the number one general under Yang Tinglin, because he made a small mistake, he was whipped and humiliated by Chen Ni in public, and he was escorted back to Fujing for questioning.

"Originally, the Ministry of Punishment had planned to be executed after autumn, and then the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world. This talent will not die."

He took another step closer and said, "This piece of An is very good at armies. He once fought the main force of Jin Shenghuan with six thousand dragons and tigers. Moreover, he and Chen Nishi are in the same boat, and have a deep hatred. If he leads the army, he will fight to the death with the Ni army." Never stop!"

Zhu Yu'ao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered: "Yu Lin quickly go and find General Zhang, and this king will pay homage to him immediately!"

"The minister will do it."

Before Su Guansheng could go out, another military officer from the auxiliary government's residence came to report: "Your Highness, the inspection of Prince Chen's residence has been completed. It's just..."

Zhu Yu'ao frowned, "Just what?"

"Back to Your Highness, but Chen Ni's mother is missing."

"Trash!" Zhu Yu'ao pointed at the door, "Tianxing Mansion is so big, where can she go as a woman?! Search the whole city for me, and I must find her!"

"Subordinates obey!"

……

In an unremarkable dwelling in the south of Tianxing Mansion, Concubine Chen Taiwang's hairpin was crooked, she looked a bit embarrassed, but she didn't show panic, she looked around first, and then said loudly to the outside of the house: "Thank you for your help. , I wonder if I can show up and see?"

"Concubine Chen is serious." A figure came from the back room, "I have seen Concubine Tai."

"Master Zheng... Dudu Zheng?"

Before she finished speaking, another old man came into the house, stepped forward and said: "Our family pays respects to Princess Chen."

"Eunuch Pang?!" Concubine Chen was surprised, "Didn't you be rebellious..." She immediately thought of something in the middle of speaking, and pointed to the two people in front of her, "Could it be, you..."

Pang Tianshou nodded with a smile, "Chen Taiwang concubine condescends here for a few days, and the rebels will never find out here. The rest will be handled by our family and Dudu Zheng."

……

Zhu Linmi moved the binoculars slowly, and saw that the Tianxing Mansion City, which was five miles away, was covered with "Zhang" flags, every two steps were guarded by soldiers holding blunderbuss or crossbows. He could vaguely see a patrolling team walking back and forth, which seemed to be a good defense.

Following a sound of hoofbeats, Zhao Shichao drove his horse away from his soldiers and approached Zhu Linmei, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it has been found out that the general guarding the city is Zhang An."

"Zhang An?" Zhu Linmei frowned, "But the guy who ran troops and looted the people under the city of Nanchang?"

"Return to your lord, that's right." Zhao Shichao said, "It is said that he was originally sentenced to be a lord, but he was pardoned after the new emperor ascended the throne."

"Zhu Yu'ao is really good at picking people." Zhu Linmi shook her head and said, "Birds of a feather flock together."

On the side Zhang Jiayu continued: "My lord, if this person leads the army, it may be more conducive to the implementation of your strategy."

Zhu Linmi nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then whispered a few words in Zhang Jiayu's ear.

The latter smiled knowingly when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate will arrange people to prepare."

Zhen Zhen put down the binoculars in his hand, but he said worriedly: "Your Highness, the walls of Tianxing Mansion are high and strong, if the rebel army can't defend the city, it will be quite troublesome."

Before Zhu Linming could speak, Shi Lang smiled and said, "General Zhen is thoughtful, but Tang Ni will definitely not stick to Tianxing Mansion."

After the battle at Shanguan, Zhu Linmei noticed that Shi Lang was flexible and strategic, so she transferred him to Zhang Jiayu's subordinates as a temporary deputy staff officer.

Shi Lang continued: "The King of Tang imprisoned the Empress Dowager privately and held the Son of Heaven hostage. Although the courtiers were afraid of his power and did not dare to speak out, there were many who refused to accept it. Right now, the King of Tang needs a victory to calm down the situation.

"If he guards the city for a long time, his morale will be low and people will panic. At that time, the officials in the court will think of changes, how can he stabilize the power he has snatched?"
