However, not everyone behaves like this. For example, Wang Hao, Zhao Tong and others did not act like Li Shishi and others at this moment. Instead, they looked at Li Shishi and others with quite a bit of disdain.
Looking at the people lying there, Prince Ning felt so excited.
However, he still forced himself to remain somewhat calm, and said to the crowd: "Everyone, please get up quickly. All I have done is to clear the emperor's side, eradicate those female ministers who bewitched His Majesty, and give my Ming Dynasty peace.
Qiankun, I am definitely not the kind of person who watches the country."
When he said this, Prince Ning looked very loyal. Of course, no one present would believe his words.
King Ning raised the flag of rebellion and marched to the gates of Nanjing. If he said that he had no ambition for the throne, no one would believe him. It was obvious that this was just a shirk from King Ning.
After all, there have always been three concessions since ancient times. If everyone persuaded him casually, and Prince Ning nodded and agreed, wouldn't it look too impatient.
At this time, Wang Hao coughed lightly and said to Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to capture the city of Nanjing first. Only then will the prince have a foundation to gain a foothold. The rest can wait until after the city is captured.
Wang Hao's words made Prince Ning and others suddenly wake up.
What Wang Hao said is right. They haven't even captured the city of Nanjing yet, and they are already thinking about the Conglong Gong. Everything seems a bit too early.
At this time, Prince Ning also stepped forward to help everyone up and said, "What Mr. Wang Ge said is true."
While speaking, King Ning's eyes fell on Wang Lun who had just stood up and said: "General Wang, the next matter of taking over Nanjing City, the lonely king will entrust it to the general."
Wang Lundang bowed to Prince Ning and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If you still can't take Nanjing under such circumstances, I will come to see you!"
But he said that many officials had gathered on the high city wall of Nanjing City.
These officials looked at the dark mass of Prince Ning's rebels below, with different expressions on their faces. Officials who were loyal to the imperial court naturally had solemn expressions on their faces.
There were also officials who had faint joy flashing deep in their eyes.
At the city wall, a general looked at the rebels below, with a somewhat worried look on his face and said to his companions: "Brother Ma, what do you think is going on with the Duke? If you don't get sick sooner, you won't get sick later."
, but I couldn’t afford to fall ill at this critical juncture. As a result, without the old prince in command, the army was in chaos."
As he spoke, the general subconsciously turned his gaze to several figures not far away.
Zheng Qing is the confidant of Wei Guogong, and he is loyal to the court. In the past few days, ordinary people may not be able to feel the undercurrent in Nanjing City, but to Zheng Qing, who is in charge of the troops, he is
Can feel it clearly.
Not to mention anything else, the turmoil in the army is very clear.
There are obviously people in the army who are trying to deceive people. The leader is Cui Ling, the Marquis of Dingyang, who is highly valued by Duke Wei. In addition, there are Xining Bo Zhao Tong, Yongchang Bo Mao Qing and others. These people have won over in the army.
A considerable number of people showed faint signs of colluding with the rebels.
Zheng Qing saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. When he discovered something was wrong, he immediately went to the Duke of Wei's mansion to ask for an audience with Duke Wei.
However, what surprised Zheng Qing was that he was not able to see Duke Wei, and only Xu Pengju met him.
Zheng Qing told Xu Pengju what he had discovered in the army. He thought that Xu Pengju would take him very seriously and even take him to see Wei Guogong Xu. However, he never expected that Xu Pengju looked calm, as if Dingyang Hou and others were trying to plot.
The inverse news is trivial.
Xu Pengju said nothing except asking him to control the troops and horses in his hands. When he left the Duke of Wei's mansion, he was in a daze.
Ma Wenyi glanced at Zheng Qing and said in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, please be careful. We subordinates like you can't figure out what the old prince is thinking, but we only need to do our part well and control the troops under our command."
That’s it.”
When Zheng Qing heard this, he glanced at Cui Ling and others not far away and said, "Damn it.
, if the old prince comes forward, how many of these clowns dare to jump out, it is really a villain's success." At the same time, in Nanjing City, on top of a tall restaurant, two figures were standing at a restaurant
In front of the window, looking in the direction of the city wall in the distance.
If anyone who knew them met, they would definitely be able to recognize them at a glance as Xu Fang and Chen Ke, who were in charge of Nanjing Jinyiwei.
The two stood there, looking in the distance towards the city wall, with a bit of smile on their faces, but not a trace of worry.
At this time, I heard Xu Fang chuckle and say: "Brother Chen, don't tell me, this behavior of the Marquis really attracted a lot of people."
Hearing what Xu Fang said, Chen Ke said calmly: "They are just a group of ambitious clowns. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that Ning Wangfei is a wise master. As a result, one by one they can't wait to jump out and want to
Shang Ning Wang is a big ship that is destined to remain silent. I really don’t know whether to say that they are greedy for profit or that they are blinded by the resentment in their hearts.”
Hearing what Chen Ke said, Xu Fang couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Chen, if you want to say that these people are motivated by interests, that's fine, but none of these people are fools. In the final analysis, they are just unwilling to be manipulated by adults.
The New Deal implemented was nothing more than bloodletting. For their damaged interests, they would support without hesitation anyone, let alone Prince Ning, who jumped out to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
After speaking, Xu Fang continued: "I can only say that your lord dares to use such a shocking event as counterinsurgency as a bargaining chip. These people are completely beyond ordinary people's expectations. Under normal circumstances, if it is a hasty march, no matter how slow the marching speed is, most of them will
In a month's time, the imperial reinforcements will be enough to reach the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, your Excellency has asked the Duke of Wei to cooperate. Naturally, many people can't help but jump out."
Mentioning these, even Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh. He could only say that Li Huan's courage was really amazing. He didn't know whether the emperor knew about Li Huan's actions. If so, who knew?
That's all. If he didn't know, he really didn't know what the emperor's reaction would be.
Li Huan was really so crazy that he dared to use such an important city as Nanjing as bait to lure countless powerful officials, officials and gentry in Jiangnan who were dissatisfied with the imperial court.
Thinking about the information collected by the Jinyi Guards over the past few days about the officials and gentry who jumped out to support Prince Ning, Xu Fang felt that the vast Jiangnan area was covered with a layer of blood.
Seeing that Xu Fang seemed a little distracted, Chen Ke on the side said to Xu Fang: "Brother Xu, we must do what you have told us to do perfectly, and we must not miss anyone."
When Xu Fang heard this, he immediately said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, our Jinyi Guards are not good at others, but when it comes to inquiring about information and monitoring, there are really not many people who can escape the supervision of our Jinyi Guards."
Wei Guogong Mansion
On this day, in a rather quiet study room in the Duke of Wei's mansion, Duke Xu of Wei, who was rumored to be seriously ill, was sitting there in good spirits. Sitting beside him was a man.
A young man who exudes evil spirits.
This young man is none other than Xu Ying, who accompanied Li Huan on the expedition.
As a direct descendant of Xu Guangzha, Duke of Dingguo, Xu Ying should be called Grandpa Xu Yiyi when it comes to seniority.
After all, the line of Wei Guogong and the line of Ding Guogong are both descendants of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. One family and two families can be said to be the most noble families in the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Xu looked at Xu Ying, looked Xu Ying up and down, couldn't help but show some admiration on his face, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, yes, it is indeed the Qilin'er of my Xu family.
Compared to you, Pengju is far behind."
Xu Pengju on the side couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard this. Although Xu Pengju said he was quite unconvinced, he thought that Xu Ying relied on her own ability to follow Li Huan and make achievements on the battlefield. With her meritorious service, she received a reward from the court.
of title.
Speaking of this alone, he really can't compare with Xu Ying. Hearing this, Xu Ying hurriedly said to Xu Yili: "Old Duke has really embarrassed his grandson. My grandson is only valued by the general and appreciated by the emperor. I, the Xu family,
My ancestors were kept in the dark, and we have just rebelled like this today. I really cannot be worthy of being the Duke of my country.
Such a compliment."
Looking at Xu Ying's neither arrogant nor impetuous appearance, Xu's eyes became even more satisfied.
Stroking his beard, Xu immediately looked at Xu Ying with a straight face and said, "Since Ying'er has arrived in Nanjing City, as I expected, the Champion Hou must have arrived in Nanjing City by now."
Xu Ying smiled slightly and said: "Old Duke is very good at predicting the situation. The general has indeed arrived near Nanjing City, so he specially ordered me to go to the city to pay homage to old Duke."
Xu said with a somewhat solemn look on his face: "I wonder if there is anything the champion needs from me!
Since Li Huan sent Xu Ying to see him, there must be something he needed to do, so Xu didn't say anything else and directly asked.
Xu Ying immediately whispered, and Xu Ying listened to what Xu Ying conveyed to Li Huan, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Finally, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you go back and tell the champion, just say
Let the Champion Hou rest assured that as long as I am here, he will not be able to mess up the city of Nanjing."
When he said this, Xu's body exuded a sense of majesty, as if he was telling the world that although he, Xu Ren, was old, he was not drowsy.
Xu Ying smiled. If it were someone else who said this, Xu Ying would naturally not believe it.
But if it is Xu, to be honest, Xu Ying really believes it. It is precisely because Xu Ying comes from a top noble family that Xu Ying knows better than anyone else that he is entrenched in Nanjing City. It can be said that Nanjing is the capital of Nanjing.
What kind of background and influence does the Duke of Wei have in Nanjing, which is among the most noble people in the city.
Xu Ying stood up and said to Xu Yili: "Grandpa, my grandson is leaving now.
Xu nodded slightly and said to Xu Pengju beside him: "Pengju, why don't you go and give Brother Ying a gift!
When Xu Pengju sent Xu Ying away and returned to the study, he saw Xu took out some secret letters from the edge of the desk and handed them to him: "Send these letters secretly, and be sure to hand them over to the other party."
.”
Xu Pengju just glanced at it. When he saw the names on the sealed letter, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. These people dare not say that they control all the soldiers and horses in the city, but together, they can at least control them.
Seventy-eight percent of the soldiers and horses in the city.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Pengju said immediately: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will personally supervise this matter."
Another night passed. Because of the rebels outside the city, the defenders on the Nanjing city wall were tense almost all night. Except for some of them, almost most of the defenders did not dare to relax their vigilance for fear of the rebels outside the city.
The rebels suddenly launched an offensive against the city of Nanjing.
As time passed little by little, the sky gradually began to glow with red clouds, and it was already early in the morning.
At this time, it was almost dawn, and there was a faint light on the horizon. This was also the time when people were most sleepy. It could be clearly seen that many of the soldiers who had been guarding the city for the whole night couldn't help but feel sleepy now.
, many people stood there and yawned non-stop, obviously extremely sleepy.
At the same time, at a gate of Nanjing City, a group of people could be vaguely seen approaching the gate quietly.
There are quite a lot of people in this team, it seems to be at least hundreds of people, and these people are all well-dressed and strong-armed, and they can be said to be elite. The leader is none other than Cui Ling, the Marquis of Dingyang, Mao Qing, the Bo of Yongchang, and Mao Qing, the Bo of Xining.
Zhao Tong and several others.
The group of people made little movement, but as they approached the city gate, they naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city gate for the first time.
Almost immediately, the soldiers guarding the city took a defensive stance. Everyone knew that there were rebels outside the city, and no one dared to say whether there were rebels in the city.
If someone inside and outside cooperates at this time and wants to open the city gate to welcome the rebels into the city, those who guard the city gate will have a heavy responsibility.
I saw a hundred-household official shouting at the visitor with a wary look on his face: "The city gate is an important place, and no one can get close to it. Anyone who comes should report his name quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
At the same time, the soldiers behind the Baihuguan all bent their bows and set arrows. If anything went wrong, they would definitely shoot out the arrows in their hands immediately.
right here
At this moment, an angry voice came and said: "Bold Niu Wei, open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am!" Niu Wei, the official of the Hundred Households, couldn't help but change his face slightly when he heard the angry voice.
It sounded familiar, and at the same time, I could clearly see the person coming by the light of the torch.
When he saw Cui Ling and his entourage clearly, Niu Wei hurriedly stepped forward and said with a bit of fear: "I didn't know it was the Marquis who came here. I really lost my eyes for nothing. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis."
