Chapter 543 [Before the shame, prefetch the southeast] one
At this time, Chen Hui, Long Qingyun and others saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat. Zhang Mingzhen's team had already rushed into the woods and pursued Chen Hui and Long Qingyun.
Mu Linfeng was surprised at this time. Who reported the letter to Zhang Mingzhen? Mu Linfeng thought about it and asked Zhang Mingzhen. Zhang Mingzhen said that he had received an anonymous letter saying that Mu Linfeng was in this generation. He didn't believe it at first, but he also received the latest news saying that Mu Linfeng was in this generation.
Linfeng disappeared in the Fujian area and his whereabouts are unknown. I originally came here with the attitude of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, but I didn't want to really save Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng wondered who it was? Zheng Xiyu was the most likely candidate, but if it was Zheng Xiyu, she should have reported the letter a month ago, and it shouldn't be her. Zheng Xiyu should know clearly that as long as Mu Linfeng returns to Fuzhou
, she will definitely send her army to the southeast, and then a battle with his father and brother will be inevitable, and she will definitely not do this.
No matter who it was, Mu Linfeng was not interested in knowing right now, and what he was most interested in at the moment was sending his troops south. Mu Linfeng then asked about Zhong Bin's situation and whether Wu Sangui had sent troops to Zhejiang.
Zhang Mingzhen immediately said that Zhong Bin had returned to Huizhou, but the losses were quite heavy. Only more than 300 of the 2,000 personal soldiers returned. Wu Sangui had begun to deploy troops against Zhejiang, but there was no sign of an advance so far.
Mu Linfeng heard this and said angrily: "What are you waiting for if you haven't marched yet?" Then he thought to himself, could it be that Wu Sangui still has lingering fears about the last time he robbed Dong Xiaowan in Nanjing?
Zhang Mingzhen expressed his ignorance and said that he had not received any orders to march into the three southeastern provinces so far.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time, and then he saw the body of the nonsense lying on the ground. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and murmured: "Now not only Hu Shizhi, but also the nonsense has another life. When Hu Yanran meets me in the future,
I wonder what will happen?”
Just as Mu Linfeng was thinking about it, he saw that all the pursuers in the woods ahead had returned and reported that Chen Hui and others had entered the Fujian area after leaving the woods. They could not enter at will, so they had to lead their troops back.
Mu Linfeng nodded after hearing this and asked the soldiers to find a place to bury Hu Yan's body quickly. He then returned to Fuzhou General Military Mansion with Zhang Mingzhen. Mu Linfeng immediately wrote a letter to Zhang Jian who was far away in Guangxi, asking him to
When he received the letter, he immediately began preparations to capture Guangdong.
After having someone send a letter to Zhang Jian, Mu Linfeng rested one night at the General Military Mansion in Fuzhou, and asked Zhang Mingzhen to escort him directly to Huizhou early the next morning.
The soldiers in Huizhou told Mu Linfeng that Wu Sangui and Zhong Bin were not in Huizhou, but in Ningguo Mansion. Mu Linfeng went directly to Ningguo Mansion. Wu Sangui had been waiting for Mu Linfeng at the border of Ningguo Mansion after hearing the news.
When Mu Linfeng saw Wu Sangui, his first sentence was immediately scolded: "General Wu, why are you so reluctant to move when the generals asked you to send troops to Zhejiang?"
Wu Sangui's eyes flickered, but he seemed to have been prepared in his heart. He immediately replied to Mu Linfeng and said: "Your Majesty, without your personal letter and military order, how could Wu dare to use troops without authorization? Besides, Wu had heard earlier that you, Your Majesty, had already arrived in Fuzhou.
Zheng Zhilong’s daughter is getting married, so Wu doesn’t dare to make any decisions..."
Mu Linfeng snorted and looked at Wu Sangui without saying anything. After a long time, Mu Linfeng asked Wu Sangui about Zhong Bin's condition. Wu Sangui immediately said that Zhong Bin had been sent back to Nanjing by him to recuperate, and Zhong Bin's injury was not serious.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while and thought to himself, now that the deadline for ship weaving with Fang Jiahang is coming soon, why not return to Nanjing first and then check the progress of the shipyard. After the disaster, the two armies will go south together. Wouldn't it be better to be prepared and annihilate the Zheng family in one fell swoop?
Power. Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng immediately asked Wu Sangui to prepare an army and horse escort for him, and went straight to Nanjing.
On the outskirts of Nanjing, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for Mu Linfeng here early after receiving Wu Sangui's report.
From time to time, they saw a pair of people approaching from a distant house. Everyone stepped forward to say hello to Mu Linfeng, but they did not dare to ask what happened in Fujian for fear of angering Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng saw the civil and military officials but did not say anything. He looked around and did not see Zhu Cixiang. He then asked Wang Zhizhen about his arrival in Nanjing. Wang Zhizhen told Mu Linfeng that Zhu Cixiang only played around every day and had raped a palace maid to death a few days ago.
.
Mu Linfeng frowned when he heard this, and cursed secretly: "This kid has my true qualities..." Then he asked some questions about Wang Zhizhen's aftermath, and Wang Zhizhen said that it had been properly resolved.
At this moment, Mu Linfeng fully knew that Zhu Cixiang was not the candidate for Mingjun, but at this moment, Zhu Cixiang had just ascended the throne, so it was not easy to depose him immediately, otherwise the world would definitely think that Mu Linfeng was suspected of usurping the throne, so he secretly ordered Wang Zhizhen to keep more control over Empress Zhu Cixiang.
Then he led the team into the city.
Compared with the solemnity of Mu Linfeng's southern tour, Mu Linfeng's "honorable return" at this time seemed a bit bleak. Not only the civil and military officials, but also the common people who had been trained and established seemed to have heard about Mu Linfeng's setback in Fujian.
Mu Linfeng was riding a tall horse on the road in Nanjing. Although the people gave way to both sides and did not dare to talk casually, they could not help but point and look at Mu Linfeng with a somewhat different look.
You must know that Mu Linfeng has always been a myth since he raised his army. He has never had a record of failure. Moreover, he can conquer any city with great speed and can do it within a few days or one day. In the eyes of civil and military officials, Mu Linfeng
He is a divine weapon descended from heaven. In the eyes of the people, Mu Linfeng has already had a status that is almost like that of a god. He didn't expect that he would be defeated miserably in Fujian this time.
This also made everyone understand the truth that even a capable person cannot always win and be invincible. Although Mu Linfeng is extremely intelligent and strong, he is still unavoidable. He is just a mortal.
Mu Linfeng could also feel that after he returned to Nanjing this time, the atmosphere in the entire Nanjing was different. If he could not conquer the three southeastern provinces, let alone dominate the world, even if he could gain a foothold in Nanjing, he would be ashamed.
Mu Linfeng was filled with sullenness, and instead of returning to the palace first, he went to the Nanjing Yamen Prison because he had always suspected that Long Qingfeng had leaked the secret about his killing of Hu Shizhi, so he immediately asked the Yamen to go there as soon as he entered the prison.
Bring out the dragon and the phoenix.
Unexpectedly, the yamen officer said to Mu Linfeng: "My lord, don't you remember, on the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, there was a general amnesty for the whole world, and Long Qingfeng did not commit any serious crimes, so he was already released.
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he became even more certain that Long Qingfeng had leaked the secret. He was afraid that Long Qingfeng had already fled to northern Shaanxi to join the Long Brotherhood.
Mu Linfeng was depressed and ready to leave the cell, but he happened to hear someone in the prison scolding: "Mu Linfeng, you will not die well..."
Mu Linfeng frowned when he heard this. He heard that the speaker was Li Xin, who had been imprisoned here. He felt depressed and had nowhere to go. This Li Xin was hit by the barrel of a gun.
Mu Linfeng stopped and then signaled to the government officials to take Li Xin out. Li Xin came out of the prison and started to curse again when he saw Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng saw that Li Xin's hair was disheveled and his face was covered with dirt. He still had no trace of gentleness and elegance. He couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still talk a lot?"
