Chapter 16 The Four Towns of Jiangnan
"Report, a letter from Hubei Zuo Liangyu!"
"Report, a letter from Yunnan Muwangfu!"
"Report, a letter from He Tengjiao from the two lakes!" Just as Wang Feng and the others were discussing their next move, the three seemed to have discussed it, and the news arrived at the same time.
Wang Feng picked up the letter from the three families and quickly scanned it, and his brows tightened in an instant, "Offer advice, Wenxuan, take a look!"
Song Xiance and Bai Wenxuan hurriedly took the letter and opened it, these three families had a surprisingly consistent attitude, and they all opposed Wang Feng's support for the crown prince to ascend the throne at this time, and their reasons were that the identity of the prince was unclear.
"What should I do? Is it a delay in ascending the throne?" Seeing that the three feudal officials opposed the prince's accession to the throne, Zu Dashou was a little panicked, although this Guanning Iron Horse was powerful, but after all, the number of people was limited, and it was not as many as the three feudal officials.
"Advice, what do you think of Wen Xuan?" Wang Feng glanced at Zu Dashou, as a military general, it was not surprising that Zu Dashou had such thoughts, but he wanted to hear what the two strategists under his command thought.
Song Xiance and Bai Wenxuan glanced at each other, and Bai Wenxuan said, "Young marshal, we think that this enthronement ceremony not only cannot be postponed, but also has to be held in a big way, if we postpone the ceremony at this time because of their letter, isn't this like the world announcing that the emperor we support is not right!"
"Yes, and if we are the first to support the crown prince to ascend the throne at this time, we will have the moral upper hand, and those who have other ideas will be rebellious ministers and thieves, so I think we must hold it on time. Song Xiance added.
Wang Feng glanced at his two strategists, their thoughts coincided with his own, he must not retreat at this time, once he retreated, he would be doomed, "Wenxuan, you immediately go to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony, the more grand the better." Wang Feng, who had made up his mind, began to command.
"Xian Ce, you personally go to Yangzhou, meet Shi Kefa, you must persuade him to welcome the new emperor, and at the same time immediately contact the four towns in Jiangnan, you must stabilize them, as long as we stabilize them, we will win!" For Shi Kefa and the four towns in Jiangnan, Wang Feng was always at ease, and directly sent Song Xiance to go out in person.
"Da Shou, you immediately lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to take over the city defense and ensure that tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will be held smoothly. "For tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, Wang Feng must be fully prepared, now all forces are opposed to their own support for the crown prince to ascend the throne, if you don't want to make trouble, Wang Feng is not at ease with the security of Tianjin Mansion, only by replacing the Guanning Iron Horse Wang Feng brought by himself can be regarded as real peace of mind.
With the fall of the Beijing Division, Yangzhou was already at the forefront of the war, and Shi Kefa's position as the governor of the four towns at this time was very important.
There are countless people who have come to see Shi Kefa these days, but Shi Kefa has not seen any of them, and the purpose of these people Shi Kefa is too clear.
For Shi Kefa, loyalty and patriotism is the creed that he must adhere to, when the Beijing division was besieged, only he was actively running to recruit people and horses to prepare to go north to King Qin, but the news that Emperor Chongzhen had hanged the coal mountain had already come before the army of King Qin had set off, which made Shi Kefa beat his chest and shouted that the sky was unjust.
When the news came that Wang Feng had rescued the crown prince and others, Shi Kefa was very excited and was about to go to meet His Royal Highness the prince, but the news that the prince was not the real prince from Nanjing made Shi Kefa hesitate.
From Shi Kefa's heart, he still believes in Wang Feng's personality, and he is more willing to believe that the prince is true. Regarding the set of Nanjing Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa understood that this was just to fight for power and profit.
The destruction of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the infighting, as soon as he thought of the infighting, Shi Kefa couldn't help but think of his teacher Yang Lian, if the Ming Dynasty had not had such and such infighting, how could it be to this point today.
These days, the messengers sent by Ma Shiying are wave after wave, but Wang Feng's side is unusually quiet, and he didn't even see a single figure, which made Shi Kefa a little anxious, now for the Ming Dynasty, time is money, Shi Kefa understands that Ma Shiying and others must be in contact with the generals of the four towns while contacting themselves, if once the generals of the four towns are persuaded by Ma Shiying, it will be extremely unfavorable for the Ming Dynasty.
"Master, someone from the north is coming!" just as Shi Kefa was anxious, a slave shouted outside the door.
"Quick, please come in!" Shi Kefa was a little impatient, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and walked quickly to the front hall.
The person who came was none other than Song Xiance's eagle-eyed leader stationed in Yangzhou, since he got the young marshal's order, Song Xiance didn't dare to delay for a moment, for fear that he wouldn't be able to catch up, so he hurriedly flew a pigeon and ordered the eagle-eyed leader of Yangzhou to meet Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa took the letter taken out by the leader, swept it, and his originally frowning brows began to stretch.
"You go back and tell your family, just say that as long as I, Shi Kefa, are here, Ma Shiying and the others will not be able to turn the sky. After reading Wang Feng's handwritten letter, Shi Kefa also expressed his attitude.
"Yes!" As soon as he got Shi Kefa's reply, the leader couldn't stay, and hurriedly said goodbye and went back to his life.
Holding Wang Feng's letter in his hand, watching the people disappear into the darkness, Shi Kefa hurriedly said, "Pass my order immediately, and the general soldiers of the four towns in Jiangnan will come to Yangzhou immediately." ”
In Sizhou, Shandong, Liu Zeqing's mansion, the mansion has long been closed and peaceful, but it is brightly lit inside, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie and others gathered in Liu Zeqing's mansion to discuss the way out of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although these four people were nominally controlled by Shi Kefa, in the hearts of the four of them, they had already regarded the troops in their hands as their own private soldiers.
Now that the world is in turmoil, these four people have heavy troops in their hands and have become the object of competition among various forces, Ma Shiying in Nanjing has already sent countless batches of messengers, promising high-ranking officials to win over these four people, but these four people are not fools, they did not directly agree to Ma Shiying, but gathered together to discuss the next move.
For the four of them, both ends are unprovoked, the money and food of the four towns are all supplied by Nanjing, if they offend Ma Shiying, then the money and food of the four towns will not be found; on the contrary, if they offend Wang Feng, life will not be easy, the prestige of Guanning Iron Cavalry is famous, and the four of them do not think that they can resist Wang Feng's army with those soldiers and horses under their hands.
