Chapter 706: Journey to the Southeast (5)
"Jie Shuai, what does the imperial court mean? Do we really want to destroy the Buddha in Jiangxi? ”
The content of the day made Zhong Chuan still not digest it, although he learned that the imperial court sailor was not here for him, but Dugu lost it.
In particular, Dugu Zhen's words shocked him and his subordinates.
"Destroy the Buddha? In the past, Ben Shuai admired Buddhism, but now he is going to destroy Buddhism, what is it? Moreover, the imperial court did not order the extermination of Buddha throughout the country. Zhong Chuan shook his head, obviously not approving of this method.
He has been operating in Jiangxi for many years, and he has been able to rule Jiangxi for so long by advocating Buddhism, and now he suddenly goes to destroy Buddhism, isn't his previous business in vain?
"Jie Shuai, but if you don't show an attitude, the court will definitely not let go of Jie Shuai. If the imperial court sends troops on a large scale, with the situation in Jiangxi, it will not be able to stop it at all. Chen Xiang said worriedly.
"Father, that's what Sima Chen said." Zhong Kuangshi also agreed.
The strength of the imperial court has been deeply rooted in their hearts.
A powerful warlord like Zhu Wen controlled several feudal towns, and he was not pacified by the imperial court.
And Jiangxi is not a strong domain, the population is small, and the soldiers are not strong, how can they resist the army of the imperial court?
"So what do you say? Could it really be impossible to destroy the Buddha? Anyway, Ben Shuai can't do it. Zhong Chuan said with some dissatisfaction.
He himself is a person who believes in Buddhism, and if he is asked to destroy the Buddha, he really can't do it.
"This..."
Chen Xiang and Zhong Kuangshi were also a little helpless, Zhong Chuan didn't listen to persuasion, and they didn't have a problem.
At this time, news came, saying that the bandits of Poyang Lake had come to return to Shun.
Hearing that the mixed river dragon was shunned, Zhong Chuan was also a little surprised.
This is a bandit on the Yangtze River, and even captured Jiangzhou once, but he led the army to drive him away.
Although they defeated each other, they were still famous bandits on Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, often robbing merchant ships and plundering towns from time to time.
Even though Zhong Chuan has ruled Jiangxi for more than ten years, he has no way to deal with this kind of hit-and-run water bandits.
It's not that he hasn't sent people to encircle and suppress it, but he can't completely eradicate it, and it's even difficult to hit it hard.
"How did the mixed river dragon think of Guishun?" Zhong Chuan was a little surprised.
"It is said that there are heavy losses, and I want to find a way back!" Someone came to report.
"Heavy losses? Who did he mess with? Zhong Chuan asked.
"Hui Jieshuai, it is said that he is the sailor of the imperial court. The visitor was a little hesitant.
"Imperial Sailor?"
"According to what Chao Jianglong said, the specific situation is not very clear, and it needs to be confirmed."
It was not difficult to confirm the news, because it didn't take long for cargo ships along the way to discover the tragic battlefield.
Including the Chizhou side.
What's more interesting is that when the imperial court sailors passed by Chizhou that day, Chizhou didn't know that it was the imperial court's sailors, and sent someone to intercept them, but the warship was directly sunk, and then the Chizhou assassin Shi watched the imperial court sailors go away.
The warships of the Chizhou side were sunk, and a large number of corpses floated to the vicinity of Chizhou Prefecture through the Yangtze River, and soon the news spread that the fleet of bandits and gangsters was defeated by the imperial navy division in Chizhou.
Naturally, the news reached Zhong Chuan's ears in Hongzhou, and he also learned that there were only a dozen warships of the imperial court sailors who sank the fleet of Chaojianglong, and the surviving sailors trembled when they mentioned the experience of that day.
However, after the news of the sinking of several Chizhou warships by the imperial court sailors reached Tian Hao's ears, the latter's face was ugly.
Chizhou belongs to his jurisdiction, although Chizhou Assassin Shi doesn't listen to him much, but this is undoubtedly a slap in the face.
Although he also had a strong fleet, he did not dare to attack after learning that the imperial navy had crossed the border, and he could not afford this crime. Of course, when he found out, the court sailors all left his territory.
"The sailors of the imperial court are too weak! Only a few dozen ships? ”
Seeing the departing imperial court sailors, Feng Hui, the general under his command, couldn't help but pout, obviously looking down on the court sailors with less than 100 ships.
"Feng Hui, don't underestimate this imperial court sailor." Feng Hongduo shook his head, not agreeing with Feng Hui's words.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial navy should have just experienced a big battle, and the hull of the ship was somewhat damaged, but it was not very serious.
What made him even more curious was the murderous aura of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court sailors, at least on the surface, this was an elite division.
Although in the Jianghuai region today, he Feng Hongduo has the most powerful water division, but he is only a strong water division, the infantry army is not good, and the place is narrow.
He seems to be powerful, but in fact he only governs this Shengzhou (that is, today's Nanjing).
To the north is Yang Xingmi, who is the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, to the west is Tian Bao, who is the observer of Xuanzhou, and to the east is also the territory of Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao.
Fortunately, Tian Hao and Yang Xingmi are not of the same mind, although Tian Hao is nominally returned to Yang Xingmi, but he is very independent, and he occupies several states under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou, which can be regarded as a prince.
It is precisely because of the discord between the two, coupled with the fact that he has a strong sailor, that he can survive in the cracks.
At this time, Feng Hongduo naturally couldn't offend the imperial court, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult.
Although I don't know who the imperial court sailor has fought with, whether it is a water bandit or Tian Bao, he will definitely not be wrong to befriend the imperial court.
Maybe he should also send someone to Chang'an to find a way, didn't he say that the imperial court sailor would return soon? You can send a fleet to accompany the imperial sailors, and the time should be enough, enough to prepare the necessary belongings.
After the imperial court sailors left, Feng Hongduo and Yang Xingmi learned what had happened before, and they were also surprised to learn that the bandits in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were actually defeated by the imperial court and then forced to return to Zhong Chuan.
However, after learning that the Chizhou Sailor had a conflict with the Imperial Court Sailor, Feng Hongduo was very happy, and there was no need to think that Tian Hao's life would not be easy. Thinking of this, Feng Hongduo became even more determined to send people to Chang'an, maybe he could also plot against Xuanzhou and other places.
The charge of disrespect to the imperial court, this Tian Hao will definitely not be able to escape.
And Yang Xingmi was not very happy.
He is now acting in a low-key manner, and Tian Hao's people actually went to provoke the imperial court sailors, and there was a conflict, and I don't know what version this matter will be transmitted to Chang'an, won't he become a person with bad intentions at that time?
Now Yang Xingmi couldn't wait for the court to forget that there was a person like himself, but he didn't expect Tian Hao to be good, so he directly pitted himself.
Thinking of this, Yang Xingmi was angry, and directly reprimanded Tian Hao for not coming nonsense, and then asked the court to plead guilty.
In his opinion, Tian Hao is his subordinate and should listen to himself, who would have thought that Tian Hao would be furious after seeing Yang Xingmi's letter.
Originally, Tian Hao was not interested in Yang Xingmi's attitude of recuperation, and he thought that he should actively expand.
New hatred and old hatred, Tian Hao was not only more dissatisfied with Yang Xingmi, but also full of hatred towards the imperial court sailors.
