The arrival of the representatives of the four people of Nanjing temporarily relieved the predicament of the king of Zhennan.

Of course, he still can't go.

In fact, he couldn't go at this time, the soldiers and civilians around Huai'an were constantly coming, it happened to be the early winter, the Xuzhou section of the canal in the north has been frozen, although the Yellow River has not been frozen, but thin ice has begun to appear on the bank, and the agricultural work in various places has ended, and even the construction of those water conservancy facilities has stopped because of the freezing.

Everyone has time.

Even some old men and old ladies simply brought dry food and horses to the house......

They are ready for a protracted battle with the king of Zhennan.

"King, look, this is the people's heart!"

Presiding over the Four People's Congress......

Well, it's hosting.

After all, as a public opinion body, the Four People's Congress still has to have a presiding officer, and the maximum range of the drawing of lots for the Four People's Representatives is to 60, so in the end, the tradition of respecting the elderly will be brought into play, and the oldest among the delegates, an old craftsman in his 60s, will serve as the one.

At this moment, he was excited, pointing to the crowd of people outside and said.

That's the king of the south of the town.

Unable to board a boat to cross the river, King Zhennan finally had to temporarily settle in the branch of the People's Bank of China in Huai'an, which is also a new-style small building, just inside Huai'an, under the persuasion of the representatives of the four peoples. Now the area around this small building has been blocked by the soldiers and civilians who rushed to hear the news, unless he stepped on their heads, the king of Zhennan could not expect to go out of the city, and even the city wall not far away was crowded with people, and there were people who looked here with binoculars.

In fact, there are also people waiting outside the city, after the census in Shanyang County, the total population is nearly 600,000, and it is estimated that at least 400,000 are in the south of the town, while the total population of Huai'an Mansion is 1.8 million, and it is estimated that 800,000 of them have gathered in the city......

King Zhennan can't escape.

"King, do you really abandon the 40 million fathers and elders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang like this?"

Another delegate said.

King Zhennan sighed, as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

"Delegates, I have to go to this capital, Yang was from a humble background, he was promoted by the temple, and he was a merchant ship man for less than ten years, and His Majesty treated me like an eldest brother, and now His Majesty is poisoned by traitors, how can I sit idly by?"

He said with tears in his eyes.

"Then bring troops into Beijing, and you don't need to have an army of 100,000, as long as the king is willing to lead the cavalry army and the guard brigade to the north, I will immediately persuade the people to disperse!"

A delegate said.

The other delegates nodded.

The 100,000 army is a bit exaggerated, after all, now that the canal is frozen, it is very difficult for the infantry to go north to transport military supplies, and at this time, the total number of active troops is not 100,000, and it is a bit of a waste to call up reserves for this.

In terms of simply protecting Yang Xin, the cavalry army plus the guard brigade is enough.

At present, the cavalry army has three brigades, all of which are 3,000 people, one heavy cavalry and two light cavalry, of which the heavy cavalry is the cuirassier spear cavalry, but it is also equipped with muskets, which is actually an elite shock cavalry similar to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but the cuirass is thicker, and it can even resist bullets to a certain extent. The two light cavalry brigades were similar to hussars, but although they did not have iron armor, they actually had silk soft armor, but the weight of the soft armor was negligible, and their fast horse scimitars were also equipped with muskets. In addition, the cavalry army also has a howitzer battalion, which uses nine-pound howitzers and two-pound field guns, both of which can be dragged by a horse and run everywhere.

Such an army, together with the guard brigade that was actually line infantry but acting on horseback, was enough to protect the king of Zhennan from entering Beijing.

After all, he still has a family in the north.

But to say that it is impossible to take a battalion of guards.

First of all, a loyal minister like King Zhennan must have entered Beijing to save the emperor, and now the news that the emperor was poisoned has spread all over the country, and even many details of the real murderer have been made up in the brain......

It can't be said that the brain is supplemented.

After all, there are two people who have just come from the capital!

Wang Huazhen is a doctor.

Li Shi is the chief eunuch in the palace, he has been weaving in Suzhou for many years, and no one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang knows that Gonggong Li is deeply favored by the emperor.

Both of them said that the emperor was poisoned, so the emperor must have been poisoned.

Moreover, it had only been a few days since they arrived in Nanjing, and at this time the news was not enough to make a round trip between the north and the south, unless those flying scissors communication ships were used, the news exchange between the north and the south would take about ten days at the earliest. At this time, it is estimated that the capital has just known that Li Shi changed his words, and he may not even know, in short, at this time, the capital's justification is not at all, although the governor of Jiangnan in Suzhou desperately appeals to everyone to refrain from it, but he has the qualifications to speak fart, and his orders will not work in the governor's yamen.

The king of Zhennan assigned an assistant to each of the officials assigned by the imperial court to the district.

It is said that the assistant carries poison with him!

If a big man does something he shouldn't do, he will probably die violently that night.

In short, with the propaganda of those newspapers, coupled with the testimony of Wang Huazhen and Li Shi, now Jiangnan, Jiangbei and Zhejiang, the soldiers and civilians of the three political envoys have been convinced that the emperor has really been poisoned by traitors and is in danger. As for this traitor, of course, it is the northerner group headed by Sun Chengzong, anyway, he was a traitor last time, and he has already crusaded against his soldiers and civilians in the three places, so he naturally thinks that he started it.

It's him, it's him, it's him!

It was Sun Ge Lao who seriously hurt the interests of the northern gentry because of the emperor's new policy, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the emperor falling into the water and contracting the disease, and secretly instructed his subordinates to poison the medicine in the Tai Hospital.

The little official who was killed is ironclad evidence.

Then as soon as the emperor died, he became Zhang Juzheng, this old thing was so mad, and even if the emperor did not die, just like now, the court would be controlled by him, maybe he didn't just want to be Zhang Juzheng!

He wants to be Cao Cao!

As for the nine thousand years old......

Nine thousand years old and no military power, what else can you do at this time!

can only swallow the anger and the snake.

That's why he had to be forced by Sun Chengzong to write a holy decree, and Sun Chengzong asked Li Shi to lie, the purpose was to coax the king of Zhennan, after all, the only thing that could stop him from going retrograde at this time was the king of Zhennan, as long as the king of Zhennan was coaxed and thought that the emperor had improved, then he could poison the emperor again and let the emperor die, and then he went to bully the orphans and widows.

It's crazy!

I still want to bully other people's widows!

In short, this is the way it is, although everyone is not loyal to the emperor, but they also understand the mood of King Zhennan, who is a loyal minister and a brother to the emperor.

He was in a hurry.

But in a hurry, you can't rush north like this.

He went north so rashly, in case he was intercepted and killed by Sun Chengzong's ambush and men halfway, what would happen to the 40 million people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Just such a guard battalion of 500 cavalry, in this case, going north, people can be beaten to death by a casual brigade, this is not the time in the past when you could be invincible with martial bravery. Sun Chengzong's men have countless cannons, and they have also used a lot of rifled guns, and the king of Zhennan can fight again, as long as the guard battalion is solved, and there is only one hundred and ten rifled guns left to snipe, he also hates the battlefield.

And this can almost be said to be inevitable, not to mention Sun Chengzong, even any northern gentry wants to cut him with a thousand knives!

So a cavalry corps, plus the guard brigade plus the guard battalion, adds up to fifteen thousand people, which is the minimum.

But now......

"Ladies and gentlemen, because of what happened last time, now those traitors are framing Yang for rebellion, if Yang leads troops into Beijing again, wouldn't it be just right to give them the truth? Yang is a place of suspicion, even His Majesty is a little suspicious of me, Yang is going to show his innocence to His Majesty, to the people of the world, and then lead the army to the north, so who else can believe in Yang's innocence?

Yang is not afraid of death.

Even if those traitors want to harm Yang, Yang will save His Majesty, even if he dies on the way to Beijing, Yang will die without regrets!

Don't be afraid of broken bones, you want to leave your innocence in the world!

Delegates, let me die innocently! ”

King Zhennan said bitterly.

The delegates were moved, in the final analysis, the king of Zhennan is for the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

It can be seen from the performance of King Zhennan that what he wants to do Cao Cao Dong Zhuo is purely framed, and King Zhennan's loyalty to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty is beyond doubt, and the reason why the three provinces are divided is just to save 40 million people in the three provinces from the poison of corrupt officials. It can be said that for the sake of the people of the three provinces, he was forced to bear the notoriety of rebellion from a loyal minister who could have enjoyed wealth and nobility, and the 40 million people of the three provinces owe him.

He was dragged down by the people of the three provinces.

However, the more this is the case, the more the people of the three provinces cannot sit idly by and watch him die.

"King, I won't stop the king anymore."

A representative said suddenly.

Then there was a puzzled look in them, including Yang Xin.

"But the king also said before that the Four People's Congress not only represents the will of the people, but also represents the 40 million people of the three provinces, since the king does not hesitate to risk going north to save His Majesty, of course the 40 million people of the three provinces will also go north to save the car, you can go yours, but you have no right to stop the people of the three provinces, the cavalry army and the guard brigade are entrusted by the Four People's Congress to replace the 40 million people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go north, this has nothing to do with you."

The representative continued.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with the king, it was the Four Peoples Assembly who entrusted them to go north."

The host said immediately.

"How can this be done, they are Yang's subordinates, and what they do is Yang's responsibility!"

Yang Xin Zhengse said.

"Then let them retire, let them turn into reserves, the reserve is a militia, just the people who are guided and trained by the shogunate of the king of Zhennan, but not soldiers but the people, the shogunate of the king of Zhennan has the power to recruit them as soldiers when necessary, but when they are not soldiers, they are not subordinates of the king of Zhennan. Then they volunteered to form a volunteer army to go north to the king of Qinqin to save the driver, and they were also not under the king of Zhennan, but the people of the three provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were as worried about the safety of His Majesty as the king, so they were called for by the Four People's Congress to be formed to save the driver. ”

The representative said with a smug smile.
