Chen Hongfan said: "Zhennan General Guo An was stationed in Jinhua after he pinged the bandits in Quzhou. He had thirty to forty thousand troops under his command.

In addition, if Mr. Maoshan is willing to assist His Royal Highness King Zuo Lu in holding high the banner of bringing order to chaos, I wish you all the blessings of Zhejiang and all the prefectures in the south and south of the Yangtze River."

At this point, Zhang Bingzhen also made it clear: "If the eunuch party really supports the heroine to come to court, and for the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the country, this Futai is willing to fully support His Highness Prince Lu."

Unlike "commoners" like Chen Hongfan, Zhang Bingzhen has real power and controls the territory, so these words carry a lot of weight.

On the side, Zhu Changzi saw that he was being pushed out to be the "emperor" again for no apparent reason. He immediately became anxious and was about to politely refuse.

But he saw Liu Zongzhou's gray brows furrowed and he said, "You want military advice? This is absolutely not possible!

Now our Ming Dynasty is facing two powerful enemies, the pseudo-submissive and the pseudo-Qing. If there is another internal rebellion, wouldn't it be imminent?

I will write a letter to correct the chaos. If Zhang Futai is interested, he can also write a letter together."

Zhang Bingzhen and Chen Hongfan were both stunned when they heard this.

Do you want to write a letter about this kind of thing?

After coming back to his senses, Chen Hongfan couldn't help but said: "Mr. Shanshan, what's the use of writing a letter about this kind of thing? We must fight to succeed!"

Zhang Bingzhen also said: "Did Mr. Shan Shan forget how he was kicked out of the court this time?

If it were not for the eunuchs Ma Shiying, Ruan Dajue and their like to control the government, how could a gentleman be living in the wilderness?"

"Who said I was kicked out of the court?" Liu Zongzhou's old face was full of displeasure, "I begged for my own body and returned home!"

Zhu Changzi, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "You two, since Mr. Shanshan is unwilling, can we just forget about it?"

"Your Highness Hu Tu, this matter is related to the country of Ming Dynasty, how can we let it go?" Now that the matter was out of the way, Zhang Bingzhen ended the matter personally.

Liu Zongzhou trembled his eyebrows and said: "If we really want to carry out military remonstrance, I will definitely report it to Gao Fa and others!"

Zhang Bingzhen sneered and said: "Mr. Shanshan doesn't agree with this matter. Does he think he can still walk out of this garden today?"

"you···"

As soon as Liu Zongzhou said a word, he saw everyone around the pavilion looking over, with evil looks on their faces. There was even the sound of weapons and armor clashing further away.

He immediately understood that the only real "guests" at today's party were him and King Lu.

Zhang Bingzhen did not want to talk to Liu Zongzhou anymore - he knew that a moral scholar like Liu Zongzhou would never change his mind just because his life was threatened once he decided on something.

"Come here, take a good look at the garden. From today on, I will keep Mr. Shanshan studying in the garden!" Zhang Bingzhen said, then looked at Zhu Changqi, "Your Highness, let's go meet General Zhennan's people first?"

Zhu Changzi deliberately refused, but when he heard the sound of soldiers and armor clashing around him, he was immediately frightened and could only say with a pale face: "Okay, okay."

Chen Hongfan put on a red face and consoled him: "Your Highness, you will definitely thank me for waiting for you when you succeed to the throne one day."

Zhu Changzi smiled bitterly in his heart - in this case, even if he succeeded to the throne, would he have any power at all?

It might not even be as free as it is now.

But Zhang Bingzhen and Chen Hongfan took their respective servants and hugged Zhu Changzi out of the garden, and then went to another garden along the street to meet Fang Guoan's people.

Unexpectedly, as I was walking on the street, I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in front of me.

Zhang Bingzhen frowned immediately.

Hangzhou is the seat of the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province and the seat of his office, and the city is densely populated. Some people dare to run wildly on the streets. Doesn't this mean he loses Zhang Bingzhen's face?

Please note that in order to keep things confidential today, he and King Lu were traveling in casual clothes. What if they were bumped into?

"Go and intercept that horse-riding madman..."

Zhang Bingzhen stopped before he finished speaking because there were shouts from the front.

"Great victory! Great victory in Yangzhou! The Jianguo led the army to defeat 200,000 Qing troops! Kill the puppet Qing Beilenikan, and capture the puppet Qing Yu King Duduo!"

Hearing this, Zhang Bingzhen, Chen Hongfan and Zhu Changzi all stood stunned on the spot.

For them, this "big victory" was like a bolt from the blue.

Because they were stunned, they did not move away from the street. The large number of people forced the messenger who reported victory to stop on the street.

"It's fake, it's definitely fake..." Zhang Bingzhen couldn't help but murmured when she came back to her senses. Then she looked up at the messenger and shouted, "I'm here at Futai, bring me the good news!"

"This..." The messenger didn't know Zhang Bingzhen, so he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Respecting the order of the Ministry of War, a major victory needs to be reported to the various prefectures and cities..."

This means that he hasn't finished running through Hangzhou City yet.

Zhang Bingzhen had no intention of arguing with a messenger, so she asked the servant to go up and forcefully bring the good news to him.

Opening the document of the good news that had been passed down to the local area, Zhang Bingzhen found that it was indeed stamped with the seals of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

The Yangzhou victory took place on April 18th, almost ten days ago...

After reading this, Zhang Bingzhen couldn't help but tremble.

Now that he has calmed down, he knows that no matter how foolish and chaotic the Nanjing court is, it is impossible to fake a victory of this level.

First of all, it is difficult to fake the killing of tens of thousands of Manchu Tatars, because the scalps and teeth of Manchu Tatars are obviously different from those of Han people, and it is easier to tell them apart.

Secondly, the victory document also stated that Duduo, the pseudo-Qing king of Henan, was captured - he was the younger brother of the regent of the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou was captured alive in the Songjin Battle, and he entered the Western Guanxi Campaign to defeat the famous Qing king of the Qing Dynasty!

So, did the princess who supervises the country really defeat 200,000 Qing troops in Yangzhou?!

Thinking of this, Zhang Bingzhen felt a cold air rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her whole body was chilled.

When he came to his senses again, he saw an aide hurriedly came with several servants, and whispered in his ear: "Futai, something bad happened. After General Zhennan's people heard about the great victory in Yangzhou, they took them away directly.

Already."

Zhang Bingzhen felt bitter after hearing this.

It would be strange if Fang Guoan's people don't leave.

Previously, they thought that it was the eunuchs Ma Shiying, Ruan Dajue and their like who had a quarrel with Emperor Hongguang that conspired to support Princess Kunxing to ascend the throne.

But judging from the Yangzhou victory, this is obviously not the case.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat the 200,000 Qing troops with the troops and horses controlled by Ma Shiying alone. Even if the victory reports are exaggerated, the Qing army must have gone south to attack Yangzhou with 100,000 troops.

If Ma Shiying and others controlled such a strong army, how could they have tolerated Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo and other feudal warlords before?

Therefore, this powerful army that can defeat the Qing army is probably brought by Princess Kunxing from Sichuan as rumored, and it is also very likely that it is true that it defeated Zuo Liangyu's army of hundreds of thousands.

Princess Kunxing has such a strong army, if Fang Guoan follows them to support King Lu to "bring order to order", wouldn't he be seeking death?

After all, Fang Guoan's strength was not even among the top five among the many warlords in the Hongguang Dynasty. How could he defeat a powerful army that could defeat one or two hundred thousand Qing troops?

After thinking about this, Zhang Bingzhen ignored the cold sweat on her forehead. When she saw Chen Hongfan next to him, his face was also pale. Evil thoughts arose in his heart. He pulled out his sword and slashed at Chen Hongfan's neck!

Although Chen Hongfan was born in martial arts, he rarely charged into battle since he became a senior general.

Now I am in my fifties and sixties, and my body has gained a lot of weight.

Zhang Bingzhen suddenly attacked nearby, and he was still in the shock of the Yangzhou victory. He couldn't react in time, and he let the sword hit his neck!

However, this was just an ordinary sword, not sharp, and Zhang Bingzhen's slashing angle was wrong. Not only did it get stuck on Chen Hongfan's neck, it didn't penetrate too deep into the flesh, nor did it cut through the artery.

"Ah!" Chen Hongfan still screamed and fell to the side.

His servants reacted and subconsciously protected Chen Hongfan.

Zhang Bingzhen shouted with a pale face, "What are you still doing? Chen Hongfan is a traitor to the Qing Dynasty. Kill him quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the servants around Chen Hongfan immediately pounced on Chen Hongfan's servants, and the two sides began to kill each other on the streets of Hangzhou City.

The people around him immediately screamed and fled.

The situation was turbulent. After Zhang Bingzhen became the governor of Zhejiang, he recruited soldiers and established a Fubiao Battalion of 3,000 people.

The hundreds of people accompanying him now are Fu Biao's servants. Although they have not gone through a war, they are all considered elite soldiers.

As for the servants brought by Chen Hongfan, they were accumulated over many years in the army. Even though he was reduced from official position to civilian, he still maintained more than a hundred people, and all of them were strong soldiers.

But there were only twenty people accompanying him on this trip.

In addition, Zhang Bingzhen was the governor after all, and Chen Hongfan's identity as a spy was revealed, which put the Chen family's servants in an absolutely weak position.

Even though they were able to defeat three of Zhang Bingzhen's men, they were quickly surrounded and killed.

At this time, Chen Hongfan was still covering his neck and screaming, with no intention of dying.

He also came to his senses. When he saw that his servant was killed, he couldn't help but glared and cursed: "Zhang Bingzhen! Do you think you can get away with it by killing me? You will have to come down and accompany me sooner or later!"

"Kill him, kill him!" Zhang Bingzhen shouted in fear and anger, her voice changed.

Chen Hongfan wanted to scold him again, but he was slashed in the neck by an eager servant of the Zhang family. His head fell off and rolled into a smelly ditch on the street...
