After the Battle of Zhuangzhuanggou, Jin Feng realized that he had been too aggressive before. He wanted to attack Qin and Jin before his own side was stable. He had no ability to resist risks. If something happened, he would collapse immediately.
Nowadays, the grain depots in various places in the south of the Yangtze River are basically occupied by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, and all that should be snatched has been grabbed. Therefore, Jin Feng plans to shift the focus of development back from the outside, and wait until Sichuan and Shu develop and truly gain a firm foothold before dealing with them.
The escaped fourth prince and King Jin.
But who would have known that before he could take action, King Jin would appear again and act like a monster.
"Sir, King Jin has disappeared a long time ago. Tieniu Xiaoyu and Brother Han have tried every means, but they have not found any trace of him. Instead, sometimes small groups of troops harass the convoys transporting supplies to Weizhou City!"
Hammer replied.
"It seems that King Jin wants to fight guerrilla warfare with us!" Jin Feng said helplessly.
"Sir, what is guerrilla warfare?" Iron Hammer asked.
"It's just to hide in secret and mobilize the local people to take the initiative to resist." Jin Feng said.
"Chen Zheng killed his father and usurped the throne. He was despised by everyone in the world. He could only use coercion and inducement to drive others. There was no need to think about mobilizing the people."
Tie Chui said: "But Chen Yongze is a character. There are many die-hard loyalists in Jin who are willing to fight for him. If he wants to mobilize the people to embarrass us, it will be really troublesome."
"It's just trouble," Jin Feng said: "All the tricks in the world can't compete with the four words of uprightness."
The King of Jin was only kind to some people in Jin, not all people.
To put it bluntly, it means oppressing some people and currying favor with others. Some who get the benefits are willing to work hard for the King of Jin, but most of them are the oppressed.
Jin Feng's plan to conquer the local tyrants and allocate land to them was aimed at all the people of Dakang. Jin Feng believed that as long as this policy was spread to Jin, the people who were targeted by the King of Jin would naturally abandon the King of Jin.
The power of the masses is infinite. When the time comes, the entire Jin region will be Jin Feng's spy. At that time, the people of Jin region will naturally help Jin Feng find his enemies.
But the distance between Jin and Sichuan was too far, and there was Qin between Sichuan and Shu. Jin Feng didn't even have complete control over Qin, let alone Jin.
The King of Jin did not dare to risk his life and come to Sichuan to find Jin Feng. He just ordered his men to sneak attack the convoys transporting goods to Weizhou City from time to time.
Although every sneak attack was thwarted by the bodyguards, the toad crawling on the feet was disgusting and disgusting.
In addition, the King of Jin also sent assassins from time to time to assassinate high-level officials in Sichuan and Shu, such as the directors of various factories or several village chiefs.
The security level of the factory director and village chief cannot be as high as Jin Feng's, and they can't always hide in the village, right?
As long as you go out, the assassination organization may find an opportunity.
Especially the factory directors outside the village are even more miserable.
For example, Guan Xiaorou's brother Guan Zhuzhu was not only the chief director of the salt factory with a high position of authority, but he was also Jin Feng's elder brother-in-law, so he became a frequent target of assassination organizations.
From last fall to this spring alone, Guan Zhuzhu suffered at least seven assassinations.
On one occasion, Guan Zhuzhu was stabbed in the shoulder...
If Guan Xiaorou hadn't secretly approached Zhang Liang and asked for a team of escorts to serve as Guan Zhuzhu's personal bodyguards, Guan Zhuzhu would have died countless times.
"They dare to be so sneaky. Don't worry about him for the time being. Tell Lao Han to continue investigating, and also notify the transportation team to keep them vigilant." Jin Feng also said a little helplessly.
The territory of Jin is no smaller than that of Sichuan and Shu, and it is very complicated. If the King of Jin wanted to hide, Jin Feng would not be able to find him!
"Okay!" Tie Zhui nodded and took note.
In fact, he didn't need to remember it. The Ninth Princess had already reminded them many times. Jin Feng just emphasized it again.
After asking the King of Jin, Jin Feng asked again: "By the way, is there any news about the fourth prince Chen Zheng?"
"No," Iron Hammer shook his head, and then said, "No matter where he is, life must be difficult now."
If one were to select the most miserable emperor in the history of Dakang, Chen Zheng would definitely be ranked high.
In fact, to this day, Jin Feng still doesn't understand why the fourth prince killed his father and usurped the throne.
As the lover of the Ninth Princess, Jin Feng knew very well that the Ninth Princess had no intention of seizing the throne at that time, and she had a very good relationship with the Fourth Prince. She had asked Jin Feng more than once to help the Fourth Prince more in the future.
Prince.
Jin Feng just wanted to be a wealthy and idle man with the ability to protect himself, and was not interested in the throne at all. After getting to know the fourth prince, he felt that this person was quite good, so he agreed.
Who knew that such a person would usurp the throne?
Later, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess reviewed the matter and came up with a rough guess.
At that time, after the wealthy family instigated the former prince to usurp the throne, the prince's position became vacant.
The prince and the emperor have always been a strange father-son combination. They were wary of each other but had to rely on each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Ji likes the fourth prince very much, but perhaps hurt by the previous prince's usurpation of power, Chen Ji never canonizes the new prince.
Chen Ji was still young at that time. If he really wanted to be emperor until his death, he would be almost old by the time the fourth prince ascended the throne.
More importantly, Jin Feng grew up too fast, and his relationship with the Ninth Princess was also very good.
In fact, Chen Zheng was not worried about the Ninth Princess ascending to the throne, because there was no precedent in history. He was worried that Chen Ji had not established a crown prince. What if another prince came together with the Ninth Princess?
Because of the rescue, Chen Ji had great trust in Jin Feng and Ninth Princess. If Ninth Princess recommended other princes, Chen Ji would most likely listen to Jin Feng and Ninth Princess.
Once this idea came up, it could no longer be suppressed, so when the powerful found the fourth prince and encouraged him to kill Jin Feng and kill his father and usurp the throne, the fourth prince agreed.
This decision also became the biggest wrong decision in the fourth prince's life.
The biggest mistake among them was that the wealthy family's spy did not kill Jin Feng in the East China Sea.
Knowing that Jin Feng was still alive, the fourth prince fled from the capital without waiting for Jin Feng to return to Sichuan.
Then he has been living in the deep mountains and old forests, almost becoming a savage.
It was not easy to hear that Dongman had created Hai Dongqing and destroyed the airship of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, and the fourth prince finally came out of the deep mountains and old forests.
Patricide and usurping the throne is an extremely serious crime at any time. After the fourth prince returned to the capital, although no one opposed him, no one welcomed him.
Even when he returned to the city, the people on the street dared to point fingers at him.
Then after returning to the palace, he almost lost all his rights. Not to mention the ministers, even some of the palace ladies dared to secretly disobey him.
Is an emperor still an emperor if no one listens to his orders?
By that time, no one really listened to Chen Zheng. He was just a helpless scholar.
If it weren't for the Fourth Prince and some die-hard masters following him, he might have been killed by the common people long ago.
