The men and horses led by those nobles in the past were not so brave and fearless, so every time they left the men and horses behind, they were able to block the pursuers.
However, this time it was obviously beyond Yang Dai's expectations, especially when Yang Dai saw that hundreds of elite men and horses were so easily overwhelmed by the cavalry, Yang Dai subconsciously exclaimed.
Shaking the spear in his hand, blood spattered everywhere. Chen Ang seemed to feel Yang Dai's gaze and instantly looked towards Yang Dai.
The two sides were dozens of feet apart, and even though they were separated by a group of soldiers, Chen Ang could clearly see Yang Dai and the carriage in front of him.
It can be said that there are only a few carriages among the rebels, and they all have carriages to sit in when escaping. Obviously, their status is extraordinary.
When he saw the carriages guarded in the middle, Chen Ang couldn't help but feel refreshed and a smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Ang suddenly slapped his horse and roared: "Prince Ning, don't leave, I'll capture him without mercy!"
"Don't leave, Prince Ning! Don't leave, Prince Ning!"
A group of soldiers following Chen Ang roared loudly. Thousands of people chanted together, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
The rebel soldiers who were originally guarding Prince Ning's carriage were also frightened, and many of them had a look of fear on their faces.
This time, even Prince Ning, who was hiding in the carriage, seemed to sense that something was not quite right.
Prince Ning leaned forward to look at Yang Dai with a solemn expression and said, "General Yang, what happened?"
Yang Dai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave first, and I will personally take over the throne!"
In the past few times, Yang Dai had ordered people to lead the army to cut off the rear. King Ning had become accustomed to Yang Dai leading the troops to protect the surroundings. But this time when he heard that Yang Dai wanted to lead the army to cut off the rear in person, King Ning couldn't help but look surprised.
After a sudden change, he exclaimed: "What, what does General Yang mean by this!"
Not only Prince Ning, but also Wang Hao, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng also looked at Yang Dai with serious expressions on their faces.
Wang Hao said in a deep voice: "General Yang actually wants to cut off the rear in person. Could it be that this time the pursuit of troops..."
Yang Dai showed a bit of a bitter smile and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wangge, I'm afraid we're going to be in trouble this time. The people who came here are elites from the imperial court. The hundreds of elites who were left behind in the end were all killed in the blink of an eye. If we don't
If I personally lead people to cut off the rear, I'm afraid... I'm afraid no one will be able to stop the pursuers."
After saying that, Yang Dai didn't care about the changes in the expressions of Prince Ning and others, and immediately bowed to Prince Ning and said, "Please leave first, Your Majesty. The general will fight to the death to stop the pursuers."
After speaking, Yang Dai shouted to some of his men: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
The commander of King Ning's personal guards looked at Yang Dai who was leading his army to meet the pursuing soldiers, and immediately shouted: "Protect the prince, leave quickly!"
With a bang, the two groups of men and horses collided together, and Yang Dai and Chen Ang fought instantly.
Yang Dai's cultivation is not bad, but compared with Chen Anglai, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience in fighting, he is still a step behind. In just a few rounds, Chen Ang made a false move and directly sent the spear into Yang Dai's body.
Heart.
Looking at the spear that was buried in his heart, Yang Dai's face showed a bit of bitterness, and blood flowed from his mouth. He slowly turned his head to look in the direction of Prince Ning's carriage, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I will try my best..."
Ignoring Yang Dai, Chen Ang withdrew his spear and swept away several rebel soldiers blocking the front with a sweep. At the same time, he shouted: "Capture King Ning alive and make great achievements today!"
"Capture King Ning alive, capture King Ning alive!"
Prince Ning and others, who fled in a panic, rushed forward crazily under the protection of the guards. Behind them, there was a faint cry of killing from the pursuers. Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and then they saw the running carriage collapse suddenly, and several people were killed.
The figure fell directly out of the carriage and rolled on the ground several times in embarrassment before stopping.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Several personal guards stepped forward with frightened expressions and helped Prince Ning up from the ground, who was like a gourd rolling on the ground.
At this time, Prince Ning looked even more embarrassed. Even his clothes were covered with dust, and even his forehead was stained with dust.
I knew that when I bumped into it, there was a scratch there, and the blood flowed and stained it red.
Wang Hao, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng also got up from the ground one by one, looking behind them with a hint of despair.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and I could even see the court soldiers and horses chasing after me.
However, there were only a hundred or so people on their side who were able to catch up in this fashion. Even the few carriages that had been following Prince Ning were now gone. It was obvious that they had chosen Tong Ning during their escape.
The king parted ways.
Except for some people who were deeply involved with King Ning, there were only a dozen people with King Ning at this time, and there were less than a hundred people guarding him.
Prince Ning looked at everything around him, with a look of despair on his face.
"Your Majesty, let's go quickly!"
Li Shishi shouted to King Ning with a look of fear on his face.
However, Prince Ning looked at the people around him, then at the court pursuers who had caught up, slowly shook his head and said, "We can't escape!"
Not only Prince Ning could see this, it could be said that everyone present could see that with their small manpower, each one of them was exhausted, and even if they tried to escape, they might not be able to walk more than a few miles.
Chen Ang, who was hot on the trail, couldn't help laughing excitedly when he saw Prince Ning and others in front of him finally coming to a stop.
The great achievement of capturing King Ning alive was enough for him to be promoted to a high official position, and he would enjoy endless wealth and glory.
Of course, as one of Li Huan's confidants, Chen Ang also knew that with King Ning being captured alive, it meant that the chaos of King Ning that had stirred up most of Jiangnan had been put down.
"Bring them all to me, but anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Immediately, a group of cavalry rode forward and quickly surrounded a group of people.
"kill!"
Several figures jumped out, but what was waiting for them were dozens of arrows. In an instant, those figures were shot into hedgehogs.
As these people were shot on the spot, the remaining people remained silent and allowed the soldiers to come forward and tie them up. When several soldiers came forward to try to capture King Ning, King Ning shouted: "Bold, you are brave!"
I am a member of the royal family, how dare you bully me like this!"
It turned out that the soldiers wanted to tie up King Ning like the others, but they were scolded by King Ning. The soldiers subconsciously stopped and looked at Chen Ang.
Chen Ang stepped forward and kicked King Ning on the knee. Suddenly, a sharp pain was felt. King Ning fell to his knees with a thud, and Chen Ang said with a bit of disdain: "Er!
You dare to rebel and call yourself the royal family."
As he spoke, Chen Ang said to the soldiers, "Don't tie them up for me yet."
Nanjing City
As the sky dawned, the Ningwang rebel camp outside the city gradually returned to calm. However, looking at it now, most of the huge camp had been destroyed, and there were still flames burning in many places.
Groups of rebel soldiers gathered together under the supervision of the imperial soldiers and horses and were escorted into a temporarily opened camp. Li Huan, who had been busy for most of the night, watched this scene with Xu and others, and there was a burst of horse hooves in the distance.
The sound came and immediately attracted the attention of Li Huan, Xu Er and others.
He saw two soldiers galloping towards him. They dismounted under Li Huan's flag and walked forward quickly to face Li Huan and said: "General, General Chen Ang is at Luo Ma Slope forty miles away.
We captured Prince Ning and his party alive, and are now escorting Prince Ning and others back."
This battle can be said to be a great victory. The only question is whether King Ning can escape. However, after hearing the words of the messenger, both Li Huan and Xu couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Xu Geng stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, now that Prince Ning has been arrested, we can finally report to the emperor, and Prince Ning's chaos has been put down!"
Li Huan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "What Duke Wei Guo said is true." As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Now that King Ning has been arrested, it is time for the court to liquidate the traitors and confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans."
To shock the world."
"Forehead……"
After hearing Li Huan's murderous words, Xu couldn't help but tremble, and even the smile on his face faded a bit.
.
Although Xu also knew that King Ning's rebellion had stirred up most of the south of the Yangtze River, and did not know that local powerful people, aristocratic families, and officials were involved, and the court would definitely liquidate these people, Li Huan still asked Xu Pu to mention it at this time.
I felt a bloody wind coming towards my face.
Even a fool can imagine that under the current liquidation of the imperial court, many people in the huge Jiangnan will be ruined and their families will be ruined. Their heads will fall to the ground, and the inheritance of tens of hundreds of years will be cut off. Li Huan looked at Xu Huanhuan and said: "When the time comes,
I still need help from my old master!"
Xu took a deep breath and nodded under Li Huan's gaze: "Xu is naturally obligated and will definitely want to help the champion to eliminate all the traitors."
Autumn of the fifth year of Zhengde
As the news of Prince Ning's rebellion spread throughout the world, the atmosphere in the capital became quite solemn.
Especially as the momentum raised by King Ning in the Jiangnan area grew stronger and stronger, and even swept through most of the Jiangnan area, and when the news that hundreds of thousands of rebels had gathered reached the capital, the huge court was shaken.
As King Ning's momentum grew, the tens of thousands of imperial counter-rebellion troops led by Li Huan marched extremely slowly. The distance that could have been covered in a month actually took several times the time.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that the fundamental reason why Prince Ning's rebels were able to create such a huge momentum, and even seemed to be inexhaustible, was that the imperial army's counter-rebellion army had been unable to arrive.
Some people can see the fundamental purpose of Li Huan's slow march, but they cannot accept that Li Huan used such means to wipe out the people and forces in the south of the Yangtze River who were resentful of the imperial court.
Coupled with a group of officials who did not know the reason, it can be said that memorials to impeach Li Huan flew into the imperial city, almost overwhelming the cabinet.
These people wrote to the emperor one after another to impeach Li Huan for delaying the military plan and watching Ning Wang become powerful, which caused the corruption of Jiangnan. They also requested the emperor to send Li Huan to prison and punish him severely.
It can be said that for a while, the officials above the court were in all likelihood shouting at Li Huan to kill him. They wanted to take Li Huan back to the capital immediately, confiscate his family and exterminate his family, as if Li Huan had committed a heinous crime.
generally.
However, in the face of the civil and military impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor seemed not to have seen it. He ignored the memorials to impeach Li Huan and even sent his servants to Li Huan's house several times to present gold, silver, jade and silk.
.
On this day, in the imperial study, the emperor was discussing matters with Wang Yangming and several important ministers.
After the government affairs were handled, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and seemed much more relaxed.
After taking a look at the several important ministers present, these people can be regarded as ministers who are trusted by Zhu Houzhao. Although they are not among the six ministers and nine ministers, they are all minister-level ministers. Going one step further
It is a department hall.
Nowadays, the court is clearly divided into two groups. One group is the officials who are conservative and resist the reform, and the other group is naturally the officials who follow the emperor and support the emperor's reform.
Although the number of conservative officials is huge and can even outnumber the officials who support the reform faction in the court, the reform faction has the support of the emperor. As long as the emperor's position remains unchanged, it is conceivable which party is more relied upon and trusted.
"Wang Aiqing, I wonder if there is any news from Li Qing?" Although there is news about Dongchang Jinyiwei, whenever news comes from Jiangnan, the emperor is definitely the first to know, but Zhu Houzhao still couldn't help but ask.
News from Jiangnan.
Wang Yangming coughed slightly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the last news came from the Champion Lord that the army has entered the Jiangnan boundary. It is expected that there will be news soon."
The newly appointed Minister of Rites, Yan Song, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, knows people well, and takes the champion as his commander. The champion is proficient in military affairs and leads tens of thousands of elite troops. Once he enters the south of the Yangtze River, the rebels will definitely not be his opponents. Your Majesty just cares.
Just wait for the good news from the champion."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he glanced at Yan Song and said, "I just didn't expect that there would be so many people in the south of the Yangtze River who were resentful of the imperial court. Fortunately, King Ning raised his troops and led these people out. Otherwise, if things go on like this, there will be no
With Prince Ning’s incident, there will inevitably be turmoil in the Jiangnan area.”
If Zhu Houzhao had previously hoped for a quick victory to put down King Ning's rebellion, but with the uproar caused by King Ning in the south of the Yangtze River,
The situation was getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of local tycoons, gentry, and officials joined Prince Ning's rebels. Zhu Houzhao was shocked to find that in the vast south of the Yangtze River, there were so many people and forces who were alienated from the imperial court.
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao used to feel that the imperial court did not have enough control over the land south of the Yangtze River, but he did not realize the huge hidden dangers hidden in it.
Now King Ning's rebellion has swept across the land south of the Yangtze River in a short period of time. Hundreds of thousands of rebels have no shortage of food and soldiers. Zhu Houzhao would have realized what this meant if he was not a foolish king.
Therefore, the emperor's mentality has changed. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao may have sent someone to pass the order to Li Huan when Li Huan had not entered Jiangnan, ordering Li Huan to put down the rebellion of King Ning early, and he would not be doing this for him now.
Li Huan blocked the impeachment of many officials in the court and allowed Li Huan to act freely in the land south of the Yangtze River.
