Chapter 975: One Thought Difference
This night is destined to be an unusual night.
Just when Wu Zheng was inexplicable and was chased by the forbidden army, Baoying City in Jiangbei was also subjected to a large-scale night attack by the Qing army at the same time.
No, to be correct, the Qing army was supposed to be stationed.
Because when Wu Zheng left Taizhou, he ordered "Chi Erhan to recover Fuhua, Jiang Quanyi to recover Huailou Town, and Lu Zhiyu to recover Jiangdu".
The intention is to use the county seat of Baoying as a buffer with the Qing army in the north.
But Wu Zheng did not expect that Dolgon had come to Huai'an Mansion in person, let alone that Dolgon had transferred the Xuzhou garrison to the south.
Therefore, the reconnaissance of the Qing army is that Baoying does not have a Ming army, that is, it is stationed.
Jiang Quanyi, this person's temperament has always been too crazy, and he has no military exploits, which makes him itch.
After recovering Huailou Town, he left a few hundred people to garrison without authorization, and he took 2,000 people to the north.
At this time, Baoying City had long been garrisoned by the Qing army, and Jiang Quanyi's soldiers were bloodless, almost depending on the rumor, and easily recovered Baoying City.
The difference between the two sides was only a short day, so the Qing army did not know that Baoying had been lost, and Jiang Quanyi did not know that there would be a large army of enemies attacking the city.
In the darkness of the night, a vicious battle broke out.
At the beginning, with Jiang Quanyi's temperament, he naturally planned to stick to it, but after fighting for half an hour, he gradually came back to his senses, and the number of enemies who came to attack was wrong.
The northern city resisted the siege of thousands of enemies, but the defenders of the eastern and western cities came to report and were also attacked, and it was obvious that this group of enemies came strangely.
After people like Jiang Quanyi who fled for thousands of miles, almost all of them had a keen sense of danger.
It was also at this time that Jiang Quanyi decisively issued a retreat order, and after repelling a Qing siege, Jiang Quanyi led his troops to retreat.
The so-called boat is small and good to turn around, Jiang Quanyi's department is not many people, and he went out of the south gate and retreated to Huailou Town with an order.
Fortunately, the Qing army only arrived at 3,000 forwards, and if there were really tens of thousands, I am afraid that it would be impossible for Jiang Quanyi to withdraw.
But even if Jiang Quanyi reacted quickly, he also lost two or three hundred people, because he needed to leave troops behind.
On the way to retreat, Jiang Quanyi did the right thing, that is, he sent someone to send urgent news to Chi Erhan in Xinghua and Lu Zhiyu in Jiangdu, and asked the two to send troops to reinforce Taizhou.
His move laid the foundation for the Battle of Taizhou a few days later.
……。
At the beginning of the day.
Spring and Palace.
Zhu Cihong finally waited for the news he had been waiting for for a long time.
The news made him bittersweet, no, to be precise, the worries were far greater than the joys.
Happily, Wu Zheng is indeed in danger, although he has not yet confirmed that he was killed, but he only has two guards by his side, and in the face of hundreds of forbidden troops, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
Nearly two hours have passed, and even if reinforcements are sent, I am afraid that it will be too late to rescue.
In other words, Wu Zheng is afraid that he will die.
As soon as Wu Zheng died, his military and righteous legacy could only fall into his own hands, and there was no second person in the land of more than 20 prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River who could compare with his prestige and the righteousness attached to it.
This should indeed be a happy event.
But the worrying thing is that the plot to murder Wu Zheng will be the forbidden army?
This really shocked Zhu Cihong, why is it a forbidden army? Didn't you say that the people of Chao wanted to harm Wu Zheng?
Zhu Cihong felt that there was a conspiracy covering him.
This is definitely not a good thing!
The command of the forbidden army is the emperor's, even if the eldest princess is now in charge of the country, it is only temporarily dispatched, that is to say, the prison country can mobilize the forbidden army, but the loyal object of the forbidden army is still the emperor.
Without the emperor's will, how could he kill the prince and general of the dynasty?
Zhu Cihong was shocked, who is it? Who is making me carry the black cauldron?
The eldest princess?
No way!
It is an open secret that the imperial sister cares about Wu Zheng.
How could he order Wu to fight for his life?
Besides, even if she gave the order, the forbidden army would not obey it, at least someone had to come back and report to me.
But who else has the ability to make my forbidden army obey?
Zhu Cihong anxiously circled around the hall.
He suddenly realized that he was afraid that he would have to carry this black cauldron, no matter whether Wu Zheng lived or died in the end, he couldn't get rid of it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong's face became hideous.
Only if Wu Zheng dies, this matter can be stopped, because there is no one more suitable to rule the world than himself.
Even if Wu Zheng's henchmen refuse to give up, so what?
As long as the ministers of the DPRK and China unanimously support me, those who refuse to join me and want to be my enemies are rebellious ministers and thieves.
No one is going to follow them.
But if Wu Zheng survives in the end, then the problem will be more complicated and difficult, I have already issued a criminal edict to retreat, if I fall into this ugly incident of assassination and murder of heroes, it will be yellow mud falling in the crotch of his pants, not but is.
The next result, Zhu Cihong can imagine, the best result is that the power is sidelined, all the power is concentrated in the hands of the eldest princess and Wu Zheng, and he becomes a puppet who has been set up in the air, and he will eat and wait for death in the deep palace from now on, and the worst result is that he is afraid that he will become the first emperor to be deposed in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and what is even more terrifying is that he may have to endure the humiliation of the three divisions...... Wu Zheng can do it, and he will definitely do it!
No! I can't sit still!
"Someone! The commander of the forbidden army sent Huang Dazhan to come to see me quickly! ”
……。
It's two o'clock.
Huang Daozhou, Qian Sule, Mo Zhinian, and Ma Shiying led a thousand cavalry of the forbidden army to rush to the fish market street of Beimen Bridge.
Looking at the corpses and the wailing wounded in the streets, the majority of the dead and wounded were people.
This is obviously not the result of the chaotic people's desire to harm the prince and the killing of the forbidden army.
Because if the rebels want to kill the prince and the forbidden army kills him, then now that the forbidden army is in control of the situation, the prince should be here, at least the corpse should be here.
The faces of the people of the Zodiac Thursday were horribly gloomy.
These four people are all experienced people, and this is definitely not a rebellion by the people, but it is very likely that the forbidden army of the ministry has rebelled.
This realization made the four of them inexplicably break out in a cold sweat, and they realized that the thousand cavalry they brought behind them were also, the forbidden army!
At this moment, a faint voice sounded, "My lord...... My lord, the officers and soldiers rebelled ....... ”
A forbidden soldier stepped forward and pulled out a wounded man from the pile of corpses.
Mo Zhizhi took a step forward, tugged at the man's chest and asked, "Who are you?" Where is the prince? ”
The man was foaming with blood in his mouth, and said, "Student Liu Yuan...... The prince fled westward. ”
After speaking, he tilted his head and passed out.
"Someone!" Mo Zhinian shouted, "Wake him up!" ”
When the medical workers were rescuing, Qian Sule led the three of them to the side and said softly: "This is a strange matter, we have to take precautions." ”
Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "Taifu is right, the forbidden army is no longer credible!" You can't lead this cavalry to rescue the prince. ”
Mo Zhinian gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Then we have to wait for Brother Qi Chenghao to come with troops." ”
