Taking advantage of the absence of the navy, Du Fuwei and Feng An joined forces to force an army of 200,000 to cross the Yangtze River. Cao Shiqi and Lin Shihong were not idle either. They almost came out in full force to replace Feng Xuan and were attacking Jinling County and Wu County.
to protect the child.
Hebei's counterinsurgency was successful because Yang Ming was very fast. He destroyed Wagang Village before Gao Shida had time to react. Then he successfully divided the combined forces of Gao Shida and Ge Qian and attacked them separately.
Full credit.
But Jiangnan is in trouble. When Wei Xuan was originally there, it would have been easiest to recruit various rebels according to Yang Ming's method.
But now, the rebels throughout the south have formed an alliance, and 300,000 people are fighting against the imperial court.
No matter how awesome Lai Huer is, he can't resist, because Jinling and Wu Commandery are unsafe to defend, and where there are rivers, you can't stop the rebels from crossing the river. You can stop the other end, but you can't stop the other end.
What's more, four of his subordinates are former rebel generals, who are not very reliable. If the battle goes well, it's easy to say, but if the battle goes badly, they may turn around at any time.
Lai Huer knew that the situation was over, so he could only send an urgent message to Jiangdu, hoping that Yang Guang could evacuate by boat. If Yang Guang evacuated, he would be able to evacuate.
Otherwise, once he retreats, no one will be able to hold back the trainers Qi and Lin Shihong, and Jiang will be lost even faster.
Yang Guang's current mood was extremely bad, and he vented all his grievances on Yang Ming.
In addition to scolding Yang Ming at the court meeting, they also scolded Yang Ming. Why? Because if the navy was there, it would be able to prevent the rebels from crossing the river, regardless of the small number of people.
But now, throughout the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, densely packed boats are ferrying people around, and countless rebels have landed on the north bank.
"Your Majesty, please go north," Yu Wenshu knelt on the ground and persuaded.
Other ministers also gave advice one after another, hoping that Yang Guang would leave as soon as possible.
The current situation is different from when Yang Guang was ordered to serve as the general manager of Yangzhou, because the Jiangnan rebellion before he came was wiped out by Yang Su, and almost all of them were killed.
Yang Su used to be hard, and he was soft, but this time, someone was needed to be hard, and he couldn't be hard anymore.
As he got older, Yang Guang no longer had the courage he had when he was young, especially when Bei Zheng was almost succeeded by Jie Li in a surprise attack. Now he has no courage.
"The prince has sent troops from Luoyang. Zhang Xutuo and Shi Huaiyi are heading south urgently. Your Majesty, please take shelter temporarily and let the prince take charge," Yu Zhongwen said on his knees.
The current situation is that we must withdraw. Jiangdu must be defended, but we cannot rely entirely on Jiangdu. The front line must be lengthened.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of troops on Yang Guang's side. Hundreds of thousands are gathered in one place. How can there be any tactics?
The rebels dared to consume it, but the court no longer dared to consume it.
People like Yu Zhongwen knew exactly how to fight, but the emperor's presence would make it more difficult, so he also wanted Yang Guang to leave.
Faced with the admonitions of the ministers, Yang Guang felt a sense of frustration for the first time since he succeeded to the throne. He had deeply realized that his son Yang Ming was his number one threat.
After being silent for a while, Yang Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I will march north to Luoyang, and I will be temporarily in charge of Jiangdu. When the prince arrives, the prince will be the governor of the south to put down the rebellion."
He must stay alive before he can think of a way to deal with his son.
When he succeeded to the throne, he still imagined that his sons would never fight against each other like he and his brothers did.
But things didn't go as planned, and the boss Yang Zhao died.
But the prince he supported with one hand had completely different political views from his, and he couldn't even urinate into a pot.
Yang Guang boarded the dragon boat lonely, took his family with him, and left Jiangdu in despair under the protection of the left and right guards.
The left and right Yi guards, 72,000 elite soldiers, were left behind by him.
"Father, the third child has to be on guard," Yang Xian provoked beside Yang Guang in the cabin on the fourth floor:
"He deliberately transferred the navy army. If the navy army is still there, why would my father do this? When I was in Jiangdu, I tried to change the navy generals several times, but it failed. They didn't listen to my father, so they just
Just listen to the Third Brother."
In the past, Yang Guang would not be fooled by Yang Xian with just a few words, but it was different now. He was already very wary of Yang Ming.
When you start to hate a person, you will find everything that person does annoying.
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "For more than ten years, he has supported a huge navy. He has a plan."
"My father was very right when he asked his son to come to Jiangdu. If the third son comes, I'm afraid he will be able to compete with the imperial court," Yang Xian said sternly.
Yang Guang was stunned and said angrily: "You are really a waste. How can Jiangnan be beaten like this? I gave you Yu Wenshu and the nurse, but what happened? Neither of them listened to you. This is not theirs."
The problem is your problem."
Yang Jian hurriedly argued: "It's not the son's problem, it's the third child's problem. He has too much power. His father asked him to supervise the country for several years. No one in the court dared to provoke him. Yu Wenshu came to protect his son.
If you have to be afraid of him, your son is in Jiangdu, and it doesn’t matter what you say.”
He had to follow Yang Guang this time. The military rejected him from top to bottom, and Yang Guang did not dare to let him lead the army anymore.
Yu Shinan said: "King Qi really should learn more from the prince in some aspects. Yu Wenshu is your father-in-law, but now he is turning to the prince. This is your problem."
Yang Jian's mouth opened wide: "If my father hadn't suppressed me so hard in the past few years, how could Yu Wenshu dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? But his three sons have a close relationship with me, so my father may be able to show his respect."
Yang Jian also saw that because Yang Ming's prestige was increasing day by day, his petty father was already very unhappy with his third son. This was a good thing.
He is not stupid, he knows that he is the only one who can check and balance the third child, but at the moment, he really does not have that ability.
In the early years, I had a team and several big-shot figures around me, but none of them could do Yang Ming, and they couldn't do it now.
When Yang Guang heard this, he knew that the second son wanted to make trouble. Although he also knew that his son was ineffective and was just messing around, but now he urgently needed the second son to help him deal with the third son.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If you want to release these two people, you need a chance. Since I have decreed migration, it cannot be changed in a short time," Yang Guang frowned and looked to his side.
Several of his cronies said: "From now on, you will get close to Mao Shi (Yu Shiji), Bo Shi (Yu Shinan), Yuan Qi (Duan Wenzhen), Gong Jin (Zhang Jin) and others."
It was like Yang Guang lent his people to Yang Jian. When he was in trouble in the future, these people would stand up and support him.
Yu Shiji reminded: "Yang Yue will not survive this winter. Your Highness must have a good relationship with Pei Ju. Before Xuangan falls, if you help Pei Ju, Pei Ju will also help you."
Yang Jin said in surprise: "Father, do you want to clean up Xuangan?"
Yang Guang remained silent, you idiot, you dare to ask this question, but I can’t answer it either.
Yu Shinan smiled and said: "It's Pei Ju who wants to clean up Xuangan."
"What if Xuangan falls?" Yang Xian asked.
Yu Shinan smiled and said: "Pei Ju is closer to the prince after all. If Xuangan falls, it is natural to take down Pei Ju as well. This will depend on King Qi's ability."
Good guy, you really think highly of me, can I beat Old Dog Pei? Yang Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and became silent.
Ever since Yang Guang felt the threat from Yang Ming, he had made up his mind to break Yang Ming's two biggest sources of support, one was the Yang family and the other was the Pei family.
It was difficult for Yang Guang himself to deal with the two behemoths, so he could only unite one family to deal with the other, and then slowly take advantage of them.
In fact, Yang Guang would not dare to take action unless Yang Yue died, because Yang Yue had the courage to rebel, but Xuangan did not.
Historically, this was not the case. Xuangan was actually more courageous than Yang Yue.
Li Yuan has already demonstrated in history the great harm caused by the rebellion of the Guanzhong clan. This is still Longxi Li, and Longxi Li is not as good as Hongnong Yang.
Yang Jian felt that he was just trying to sow discord in front of his father, but why the hell did he get two big jobs?
If I kill these two people, can the throne be mine?
So Yang Jian asked curiously: "What should Ying Hui do to deal with Xuangan? His relationship with Xuangan is very deep."
Who is Yang Guang? His mind is not much less than that of Pei Ju. Naturally, he heard that the second brother was testing, so he said:
"You are my son, and Ying Hui is my grandson."
I understand...Yang Jian was determined. He didn't expect that he was defeated so miserably in Jiangdu, but he actually had a chance to compete for the crown prince?
This is truly a lucky turn of events.
Yang Xian walked out of the cabin happily, completely unaware of the slightly raised corners of Yu Shinan's mouth.
He is Yang Rui's master now. Do you think he wants to be the emperor's master?
Yang Guang's current team still firmly controls the court and the military. Even if Yu Wenshu and Lai Hu'er are dead, the army is still under his control.
He wants to kill Yang Ming, and there are many opportunities, but to kill his son, I need an absolutely defensible reason, such as rebellion.
But Yang Guang would not choose to do this, because his son had too much military power, and killing him for this reason would cause great turmoil.
So the best way is to appease him first, and then assassinate him by shady means.
In the past, Yang Guang would never have been able to do this. He was poisoned by a tiger and would not eat its seeds. After all, he was his own son. He could tolerate all the mistakes he made, but he just couldn't tolerate his son riding on his head.
If the south is successfully suppressed by Yang Ming, then Yang Ming's prestige will surpass him. He feels that at that time, his son may have bigger ideas.
The good son I trained with my own hands has now come back to bite me.
Yang Guang's heart was very heavy. After sending everyone away, he closed his eyes alone and remembered his eldest son.
If Zhao'er were here, why would he be like this with his kind character? The second child is despicable and cunning, a rotten tree, but what about the third child? He is hypocritical and ruthless.
In the early days of his succession, every emperor would swear that nothing would go wrong with his sons.
Yang Jian is like this, Li Yuan is like this, Yang Guang is like this.
But this is imperial power, the supreme right in the world. Compared with this right, flesh and blood family ties have become extremely fragile.
