Due to the cooperation between the inside and outside of Raozhou Prefecture, the rebel army's siege went very smoothly and the city did not suffer much damage. King Ning was good at winning people's hearts, so he immediately announced the plan to pacify the people after entering the city. Although there were occasional rioters and looters, it did not cause too much trouble.
Big mess.
The Yamen of the Prefect of Raozhou Prefecture has now been transformed into the residence of Prince Ning, and the atmosphere here is quite calm. In the flower hall of the Yamen, Prince Ning Zhu Junjin was sitting behind a chair wearing a Taoist robe, his hand stroking a piece of Panlong Jade,
Raozhou Prefecture produces jade, so it has also become a kilometer tribute
The origin of the jade. The jade pendant in Zhu Junjin's hand was obviously used for paying tribute to the palace. But now, this jade that represents the supreme majesty and the nine-five-year-old is in Zhu Junjin's hand.
The delicate jade is extremely warm and moist, and the process of rubbing it generates the slightest amount of heat.
Jade is a gentleman, and a gentleman is as gentle as jade. But at this moment, King Ning's mind was not so gentle. After capturing Raozhou, King Ning began to plan to attack Jiujiang.
The imperial court's encirclement and suppression of its army mainly focused on two aspects, one was the Jiujiang front line, and the other was the Anqing and Raozhou front lines. Zhu Junjin was a cautious person. Although he captured Raozhou, there were still many troops near Nanchang Prefecture.
The officers and soldiers in Jiujiang were watching with eager eyes. There were only two paths before King Ning. One was to take risks and make a desperate move to attack Anqing with all his strength. After taking Anqing, he would conquer Nanjing in one fell swoop.
This was undoubtedly a military adventure, but Zhu Junjin did not make this choice. He would not do anything he was not sure about, and attacked Anqing with all his strength. This meant that he completely abandoned his home base of Nanchang and ignored it.
rebellion
The army has changed from a separatist party to a rogue bandit. If the war goes well, it will be fine. However, if the war does not go well, there will be a military stronghold in front of it, and the lair in the rear will be taken down by the imperial court. There will be no way to go to heaven and no way to go down. This is a chess game that is destined to die.
Therefore, Zhu Junjin began to plan to conquer Jiujiang from the time of the uprising. If Jiujiang is captured, the Nanchang government will be as stable as a rock. With strong backup, it will be enough for his Jingnan troops to have no worries.
All the previous plans seemed to have been successful, and all Anqing's elite troops marched towards Jiujiang under the leadership of Zhu Chenhao. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be battle reports coming by this time today, and news of the great victory should be coming soon.
That being said, although many situations had been laid before, Zhu Junjin was still a little uneasy. He knew that the opponent he faced was not others, not those bureaucrats who did not seek merit but seeking no faults, nor those pedantic scholars who were doing nothing.
, his opponent is Liu Chengfeng. Faced with this person, Prince Ning had to be afraid.
Because everyone in the court, Zhu Junjin, could grasp their next plan, but Liu Chengfeng could not. He had fought against Liu Chengfeng so many times. He had never taken advantage of this person.
This is the last battle, the last time...
The more this time came, the more worried Zhu Junjin became. Zhu Junjin frowned and played with the jade in his hand. Although everything went well, he felt that things were not as he imagined.
This was a premonition that things were going to get out of control, which made Zhu Junjin very uncomfortable.
"Why is Your Majesty so worried?" Liu Yangzheng saw Zhu Junjin's attitude and sat silently on the edge. Unlike Prince Ning, he was making great progress with the Jingnan army, and Liu Yangzheng was very optimistic.
Zhu Junjin glanced at Liu Yangzheng, and then sighed: "Hasn't the emergency report from Jiujiang been sent yet? According to my estimation, Jiujiang City could be defeated last night, and Jiujiang is not far from Raozhou Prefecture.
, if it is an urgent report, it should have arrived in four or five hours, but it is getting dark now, why is it so late to see the urgent report? Could something have happened? If so..."
Liu Yangzheng said hurriedly: "Didn't the young prince send an urgent report early this morning?"
Early in the morning, Zhu Chenhao did send an urgent report. This urgent report was sent out at noon and arrived early in the morning. The urgent report stated that things were going very smoothly. Something seemed to have happened in Jiujiang City, and everything was as Zhu Jun said.
As expected,
There was a conflict between the officers and soldiers in the city, and detailed reports in the city also confirmed this. A large number of new troops and officers and soldiers confronted each other, and even the scout team was recalled in large numbers. Zhu Chenhao's army and horses passed by smoothly.
No hindrance.
This was good news. Zhu Junjin also smiled after reading the report.
There was internal strife among the defenders in the city, and there were special activities inside the city. The army was already hiding outside the city. No matter how you look at it, nothing should go wrong this time.
Zhu Junjin smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Liu Chengfeng is a man of many tricks and tricks. Before the result is revealed, it is useless to say anything. Chen Hao does have some motives and is quite stable, but he and Liu Chengfeng
We are at odds with each other and have deep personal grievances. I am afraid that he will fall into Liu Chengfeng's scheme. Once things fail, I will be doomed."
However, Liu Yangzheng felt that Zhu Jun was overly worried and comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord. The young prince is very powerful. He is by no means the kind of person who is easily fooled. Even if the sneak attack on Jiujiang fails, at least he can escape unscathed."
Zhu Junjin just continued to smile bitterly and didn't say much.
In the evening, Zhu Jun refused to eat and just waited in the flower hall. Prince Ning refused to eat, so Liu Yangzheng could only wait until night, when the urgent news finally arrived.
When the person delivering the urgent message stumbled in, Zhu Junjin was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He no longer had the same reserve as before. He stood up suddenly and hurriedly said: "Hurry, deliver it up."
A letter was handed over. This urgent report was not from Zhu Chenhao. The mud seal on it was the seal of a general stationed on a military horse somewhere dozens of miles away in Jiujiang. This made Zhu Junjin feel bad.
I almost fainted.
If he wins, with Zhu Chenhao's temperament, he will definitely send an urgent message personally, but now...
He couldn't care less and quickly opened the note, and then rows of densely packed characters flashed in front of Zhu Junjin's eyes.
Zhu Junjin's face turned pale.
The content inside was beyond his expectation. The Jiujiang defenders set up an ambush in the city. Zhu Chenhao didn't know where he was, and led his army to rush into the city. Then the ambush troops were exhausted. Zhu Chenhao's troops were immediately cut into three sections. The new army fought.
He was so powerful that he actually defeated Zhu Chenhao.
They were all wiped out, and only a few thousand of the defeated soldiers escaped. What was even more unacceptable to Zhu Junjin was that Zhu Chenhao's life or death was uncertain at this time. Under normal circumstances, Prince Ning's crown prince would probably have died in battle at this time.
Or it fell into the hands of the imperial court.
It’s over…
Zhu Junjin only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. He never expected that he was still defeated, and he was defeated completely. The prince was gone, and the elite were gone. The remaining strength left to him still seemed to be sixty or seventy thousand, but it was all
He is old, weak, sick and disabled. Not even a month after Jingnan's death, the biggest trump card in his hand was completely destroyed, and there was no possibility of progress anymore.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Liu Yangzheng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly felt something bad and could not help but feel uneasy. He called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what is written in the emergency report?"
Zhu Junjin was in a daze. He was stunned for a long time before he noticed Liu Yangzheng who called him. He glanced at Liu Yangzheng silently, then smiled bitterly and said: "The army of 30,000 was ambushed and cannot be defeated."
Chengjun, Zhu Chenhao's whereabouts are also unknown at this time. It seems that I have not deceived Liu Chengfeng after all..." Zhu Junjin has completely lost his confidence. Not only has Jingnan's army lost its former prestige.
, and more importantly, this incident had a huge impact on him, which inevitably makes people sigh that there is no way to be bright when they are born in Yu. But what Zhu Junji cannot accept the most is that this Liang is too young. I miss him.
He ate more salt than that young boy ate rice. After being smart all his life, he was tricked by a young boy. He was suppressed by this man in every aspect. How could Zhu Junjin not sigh?
Liu Yangzheng's face also changed drastically. Of course he knew what this meant. He couldn't help but shuddered and said in a confused voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... So now... what should we do now?"
Liu Yangzheng was not as melancholy and lamented as King Ning. What he was most worried about was a very practical problem. King Ning now only had 50,000 or 60,000 troops, of which 30,000 were still in Nanchang Mansion. They were not aggressive enough. For rebels like them,
is the most fatal problem, because the imperial court has countless resources at its disposal. Once trapped in Raozhou and Nanchang, failure will only happen sooner or later.
Defeat means death, and for Liu Yangzheng, for a core rebel figure like him, once he fails, he will confiscate his family and exterminate his family.
Zhu Junjin had not yet calmed down. This news was like a bolt from the blue, making him unable to stand. He reluctantly supported the coffee table with his hands and tried to calm himself down. Then, he let out a long sigh,
Said: "The matter has reached this point. We can only take one step at a time. Next, the imperial court will definitely try its best to encircle you and me. Although Nanchang and Nanchang
Raozhou can be used as a commanding force, but Raozhou is almost defenseless. To welcome the imperial army here, it is better to withdraw all our strength to Nanchang Prefecture and fight the imperial court in Nanchang Prefecture. If defeated, the king will die without a burial.
But if we can win, there may be a glimmer of hope. According to the king's order, the entire army will withdraw to Nanchang Mansion and meet the enemy there. Mr. Liu..."
He glanced at Liu Yangzheng and said bitterly: "My heart is already in chaos. What do you have in mind?"
Liu Yangzheng pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "It's useless to have more ideas now. The only thing we can do now is to defend Nanchang City and form alliances with Tatars, Monan and other tribes. Once something happens in the north, we still have a lot to do in the south of the Yangtze River. Your Majesty, you don't have to be downcast. Victory
The fate has not yet been determined, but...it's just the prince..." Liu Yangzheng couldn't help but become sad when he mentioned Zhu Chenhao.
