Breaking out of the Donghua Gate Water Pass, the waterway of the Shitang River opens up, and the willow trees on both sides of the bank are faintly visible under the faint starlight.

The sailors re-erected the masts that had been broken down during the culvert and hoisted the sails again to speed up the eastward march along the river.

Although an enemy cavalry chased out from the Donghua Gate, and the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder vibrating in the dark night, after leaving the Donghua Gate all the way to Chishan Lake, the scouts they sent out first saw that the route was very clean, and there were no armed warships, and everyone was not afraid that the cavalry would be able to jump over the water seven or eight zhang wide, jump on the boat and fight.

In order to prevent the rebel cavalry from firing arrows with bows, the sailing ships on both sides, which were covered by women's walls and war tents, approached the south shore to cover the four unprotected merchant ships.

Everyone stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the head of the Shuiguan City hundreds of paces to the west, and at this time, more soldiers continued to climb up, and the armor and bows and halberds flashed in the light of hundreds of torches, which made people tremble.

Everyone also secretly felt lucky, but fortunately broke the iron gate before the rebels increased their troops and rushed out of the city through the water pass; It was also thanks to the fact that the original defenders of Donghua Gate were hesitant to take over the guards of Donghua Gate by order of the Privy Council in a hurry, and they did not trust them very much, and did not categorically use the existing defense facilities at the head of Shuiguan City to attack them.

Otherwise, even if you can fight out of the city, there will inevitably be casualties.

The Qianyang, which was regarded as the vanguard of breaking obstacles, crashed into several awning boats that Xu Anlan urgently transferred to sink, smashed through the iron gate of the water gate, and the huge collision angle like an iron plough fell off and sank to the bottom, a large number of thick wooden planks in the bow of the ship were cracked and fell, and the exposed fine iron components were also seriously deformed, and the first and second tanks of the warship were poured in by the river.

However, the Qianyang is divided into 12 watertight tank cabins, which are only slowing down at present, and do not affect the continuation of the journey.

The enemy cavalry did not chase far, and fired an arrow sparsely close to the river bank, and when he saw that it had no effect, he retreated in the direction of Donghua Gate - for Anning Palace, the top priority was to control the situation in Jinling City as soon as possible.

I sailed at night and arrived at Longhuabu after an hour and a half.

After the Jingxiang War, Longhuabu entered the Taowu Jitun Camp Military Mansion, and the ship arrived at Longhuatown, even if it entered the boundary of Taowu Jitun Palace.

At this time, you can see a group of people and horses sparsely gathered from the northwest direction, and see these people dragging their children and daughters, shouting across the water surface of more than ten zhang, confirming that they are the villagers who withdrew from the direction of the village courtyard of Changchun Palace after receiving the order of the little princess Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang.

Their group of people is almost the last group, and there were 1,500 or 600 households before, and they have already entered the Taowu Jitun Camp Military Mansion.

However, the arrival of the crowd in Longhuabu is not over, and they cannot relax.

Taowu Jitunying Military Mansion covers an extremely wide area, south of Chishan Lake, back to Baohua Mountain, with cultivated land of more than 200,000 acres, from the westernmost Longhua Town to the easternmost Jingshan Nunnery, the terrain is narrow and as long as more than 30 miles.

The administrative office of the cantonment camp military government is located in the south of the Qiuhu Mountain Annex, and all the village households and tun households must be withdrawn to Qiuhu Mountain for assembly and reorganization.

Several boats continued to sail for several miles before entering Chishan Lake.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Taowu Jitunying Wharf, Feng Yi and Jiang Xu accompanied Han Daoming, Han Wenhuan, Han Daochang, Zheng Chang and others to land, and first went to the military government office to meet Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and Li Yao, the concubine and the little princess, who had withdrawn from the city one step earlier.

The military government is actually a fortress about 700 steps long from east to west and about 300 steps wide from north to south.

The scale of the military government is not large, it can only accommodate 35,000 people, but through it is the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard and the workshop, which extends to the depths of Baohua Mountain, and the coal yard 20 miles away is also considered to be the range of Qiuhu Mountain.

In the mountain crest passes around Qiuhu Mountain, there are nine strong outpost passes, which form a complete defense system together with the military government and the city.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Dragon Bird Army and the control of the source of the epidemic, the soldiers of the military government were under strict military management.

Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, rushed over, and before dark, he withdrew nearly 7,000 military households, more than 40,000 men, women, and children scattered in 24 cantonments outside the military palace to the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard behind the military palace and settled down.

Although there is still a mess in the courtyard of Qiuhu Mountain, at least there is no need to worry about being suddenly killed by the rebel cavalry, killing men, women and children, and howling ghosts and wolves.

In addition, 6,000 Ding Zhuang also organized in the city, distributed the armor and weapons, and also divided a team of armor to guard the surrounding outposts and passes, and at this time also divided a small group of men and horses out of the city, and used chariots and horses to collect the scattered grain and other materials from the large and small tun villages.

Feng Yi and the others rushed over, and the military government had already survived the most chaotic two or three hours, and at this time, some strict order was restored, and the situation on the left and right was also controlled.

Such an efficient assembly speed is also jaw-dropping.

At this time, there were more than a dozen cavalry wandering on the north shore of Chishan Lake, and they knew that they were spies sent by the Ministry of Justice, but they did not dare to approach the heavily guarded Zhicheng, nor did they dare to harass the small dealers who continued to retreat to the Zhicheng.

After all, before receiving a formal order, the grassroots military attachés below would not dare to open the killing ring, let alone storm the well-defended military government and govern the city.

Obviously, the Anning Palace didn't realize that the speed of the Taowu Jicang Military Mansion would be so fast, right?

Otherwise, anyone would send elite cavalry to level this side as soon as possible, and not let it become a stubborn nail under their elbows.

Feng Yu had already seen the detailed information of the military government in Taowu, but when he was assigned by Han Qian to return to Jinling, the military government ruled the city and the workshops were completely governed by the people of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

The place that was previously used to house the military room and chazi room of the secret Cao Zuo Si was completely merged into Jinyun Tower, and it was withdrawn from the side of Qiuhu Mountain, and Feng Yi never had the opportunity to enter the interior of Qiuhu Mountain to get a glimpse of its secrets.

However, all these systems are based on the guiding principle of "Epidemic Water Sparseness", which was jointly promoted by Han Qian and Shen Yang in Taowuji, but the reason why the Xinchang Marquis Mansion was able to pick peaches was also because the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion provided the vast majority of resources for the establishment of this system - the grassroots officials of the Cantonment Military Mansion were mainly people from the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

Han Daoxun and Han Daochang were on the way, and they had always been worried that they would retreat to Qiuhu Mountain, and Anning Palace would then send troops to chase them over, and they had no soldiers and horses to rely on.

Seeing the neat armor and the swords and halberds on the city walls, it can be regarded as a little relaxation, at least tonight can not be used as a lost dog, and continue to flee for their lives.

Everyone saw the concubine, and they sat in a row in the public hall of the city.

"Lord Han has been ordered to see Wen Dusk Bridge?" Xinchang Hou Li Pu heard Feng Yu and Jiang Yu talk about the latest developments in the city, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he could wring out a handful of water at this moment.

Yao Xishui and Mrs. Heisha stood behind the concubine, and it was inconvenient for them to directly point fingers and say it on such an occasion.

Even the concubine had to show a posture of not being ashamed to ask questions and all matters to be decided by the ministers at this time, but the reaction of Marquis Xinchang at this time, Yao Xishui knew in his heart why this was.

Emperor Tianyou was under control and chose to pass on the crown prince, which was definitely not good news for them, not to mention that Han Daoxun had really been ordered to see Wen Duqiao.

If Han Daoxun, Wen Duqiao, and Yang En, the Marquis of Liyang, who rushed there later, finally decided to take the edict and gather the courtiers to support the crown prince to ascend the throne, then what are they?

What are they going to do?

Yao Xishui noticed that the green tendons of the hand that Concubine Shi grabbed the armrest of the Taishi chair were exposed, and she could see the deep fear and resentment in her eyes from the side.

At this time, no one can ignore the status of Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son in the minds of the three princes.

Even if the three princes no longer trust Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, Han Daoxun and Han Qian decided to give up the three princes, compromise with Anning Palace, and support the crown prince in exchange for prominent power, which will be an extremely heavy blow to Tanzhou!

"Since the news is correct, Master Li, it's time to make a decision, it's time to give up!" Mrs. Shifei finally spoke at this moment.

Feng Yi was shocked:

Now the military government governs the city, both inside and outside the Xinchang Marquis Mansion's descendants, and the final decision is naturally in the hands of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, but what is the matter with the concubine opening her mouth and saying "the news is correct"?

Could it be that the Marquis of Xinchang and the concubine had already heard the news that the lord had been ordered to see Wen Duqiao, just waiting for them to come over for the final confirmation?

"Old Lady Han is old, and his energy may be poor, Feng Yi, you and Old Master Jiang will wait for Old Lady Han to go down and rest?" Xinchang Hou Li Pu's face was gloomy, and he asked Feng Yi and Jiang Shu to help the old lady Han to leave first.

Feng Yi was full of suspicions, he could vaguely guess what Xinchanghou was thinking in his heart, but he didn't even have an official body, Xinchanghou Li Pu wanted to expel him from the public hall, and he had no excuse to stay in front of the hall.

Although Jiang Shu still controlled the scouts of Tan Wangfu Wei and Jinyun Tower, he and the people led by Feng Yi and Zhao Wuji were only 300 elites, and he did not clearly compete with Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Han Daoxun, and Zheng Chang's official status and prestige.

What's more, Mrs. Shifei Wang is still present.

In the current world of filial piety, even the three princes cannot casually disobey the princess and Mrs. Wang.

They became insignificant in Qiuhu Mountain at the moment, and they had no right to speak except to act according to orders.

"Let's go! Feng Yi, help me down to rest! Han Wenhuan did not hesitate, and his voice became more and more old.

Feng Yi and Jiang Shu were reluctant in every way, so they could only help Han Wenhuan out first.

Zhao Kuo, Han Laoshan, Zhao Wuji, Han Jun, Han Duan and others arranged the Ministry of Guards, and at this time they were all guarding the courtyard outside, but they didn't expect that there were discussions in the lobby, Feng Yi and Jiang Yu actually helped the old man go out first.

"Why did Grandfather come out first, what are we going to do next?" Han Jun asked, he wanted to go in and ask what was going on, but he was a little hesitant.

"I'm too old to sit still, I can't stay and I can't help, I can't come up with any ideas." Han Wenhuan trembled on crutches and sighed.

"Does the princess already know what decision they will make?" Feng Yi hesitated before, because he was not sure of Han Wenhuan's attitude, and thought about coming out to discuss with Han Wenhuan first, but he didn't expect that Han Wenhuan had actually figured out what decision these people left in the lobby would make.

"Daoxun has his own choices and persistence, in his eyes, the people of Sheji Li are more important than the clan, and even more important than who will sit in that seat in the end, but this is only his last struggle and persistence, just a trapped beast is still fighting, and not everyone can be like him!" Han Wenhuan's cloudy old eyes looked at the dark night sky and said hoarsely.

Han Laoshan and Zhao Laoji stood stunned on the spot, vaguely, unable to guess what the old lady and Feng Yi were talking in a heavy tone.

"The young master will not accept it!" Feng Yi said.

"Qian'er should be able to understand such a decision, right?" Han Wenhuan said suspiciously.

"Feng Yu is powerless to change the decision of the concubine, the marquis of Xinchang and the eldest lord to completely give up the adult, but no one in the world can see through the young master." Feng Yu said gloomily.

"What? Princesses, they want to give up adults? How are they going to give up on adults? Han Laoshan asked in shock and confusion in his heart......
