On July 22, it was a sunny day, the sky was blue, and the earth was full of scorching heat.

In such weather, even shirtless people are a little uncomfortable, let alone standing at the head of the city in armor.

On the city wall, which is more than two zhang wide, the soldiers of the Wuwei Army are busy carrying arrows, wood, stones, fire oil and other materials in the sun.

On the city wall, the red-coated cannons and Franc machines are lined up, and the gunners are making final checks to ensure that the equipment is in good condition.

In the city, teams of soldiers are running on the streets, and the sound of footsteps is rattling, giving people a sense of tension.

The news that Wang Yan led the army to cross the river from Jiujiang has reached Nanchang City, and the city guards Liu Yipeng and Guo Tiancai are Jin Shenghuan's henchmen, and immediately led troops to deploy defenses at the head of the city, and then quickly reported to Jin Shenghuan and asked what to do?

At the head of the city, the soldiers of Gan were busy sweating, and a few miles away, a large number of figures were slowly moving forward.

A general of the Gan army saw it from a distance, and immediately walked to the wall to look into the distance, and when he saw it, he was immediately startled, and immediately shouted: "There is a situation!" ”

The guard Liu Yipeng got the news and hurriedly kicked up to the roof of the building and looked north. Today's weather is sunny and his vision is excellent, and he immediately saw the north of Nanchang City, a banner like a colorful cloud, floating from the field.

The city tower of Nanchang is very high, as long as you have good eyesight, you can see several miles.

Liu Yipeng took a clairvoyant mirror and looked towards the slowly coming Bing Mountain, in the circular field of vision, there was one person in the first place, a golden helmet and golden armor, a scarlet cloak, a red horse with a red fire under his crotch, and a two-foot-long red feather on his head inserted in a golden helmet.

When Liu Yipeng saw this outfit, looking at this pomp, his face immediately sank, and he turned back to Guo Tiancai and said, "The King of Chu is really here!" ”

In that year, Wang Yan's army went out of Guangdong to support Huguang, fought fiercely with the invincible Qing army in Chu, killed the puppet king Geng Zhongming, the puppet prince Shen Zhixiang, defeated the 100,000 army of Lekdehun, and killed 5,000 banners.

He forced Luck Dehun to only take more than 1,000 people to escape from Huguang and escape into Jiangxi, and then Wang Yan took the power of Chu to win a great victory, went south to aid Jiangxi, the army entered Jiangxi, the land of Jiangxi, looked at the wind and fell, between January, the color of Jiangxi changed greatly, the Qing army of the unstoppable, and then suffered defeat, Wang Yan forced to land Jin Shenghuan, cooked and killed Luck Dehun, two famous kings, the world was shaken.

Wang Yan's prestige and reputation are still there, especially in Jiangxi, which can be said to be defeated by him, just because Wang Yan was strong at that time, but his foundation was unstable, and there was no bureaucratic support around him, and he did not have a clear idea of power at that time, so he was not able to control Jiangxi.

Since he entered Jiangxi, Wang Yan has not entered Jiangxi for seven or eight years, but he is not in Jiangxi, but his legend is still circulating in Jiangxi.

Guo Tiancai, who was next to him, heard that the King of Chu was really coming, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, when he saw Wang Yan with a golden helmet and golden armor, he suddenly became a little timid, and asked urgently: "What can I do, the King of Chu is the regent of the Ming Dynasty, and the governor is not here, how dare we resist him?" ”

Liu Yipeng glanced at the soldiers preparing for war in the city, the strong Nanchang City and the subordinate soldiers could not give him a solid feeling, so he pounded on the city wall with one hand and said with chagrin: "I'll go and invite Lord Futai to come." ”

Jiangxi originally had 100,000 soldiers, but after Sun Shoufa and Wang Deren were transferred away by Wang Yanxun, the remaining men and horses in Jiangxi were only about 40,000 or 50,000.

This seems to be less than half, but it is still nearly 20,000 more than the 30,000 people stipulated by the imperial court. The extra part, the imperial court will naturally not pay food and salary, and it all depends on the part of Jiangxi tax interception to support.

After all, Jiangxi is only a province, and if the withheld taxes and soldiers are raised, they cannot do other things, and it will also affect the treatment of officials. In this way, the extra soldiers are naturally inferior to the people of the imperial court in terms of salary and supplies.

Jin Shenghuan took away 30,000 elite soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 horses, most of which were excess miscellaneous soldiers, they were scattered all over Jiangxi, and there were 10,000 in Nanchang.

Wang Yan only brought 10,000 horses to come, but the Jiangxi army in Nanchang City still had no confidence.

Of course, they were mainly deterred by Wang Yan's identity, there were no people who could compete with Wang Yan, they were also nominally the courtiers and army of the Ming Dynasty, how could ordinary people dare to confront the regent prince of the Ming Dynasty.

At the head of the city, I found people and horses coming slowly in the distance, and the soldiers hugged the city wall and looked over, they talked a lot, and the generals were terrified.

Ordinary pawns don't know much about the relationship between Jiangxi and the imperial court, but the generals have heard some rumors, and when they see the Daxu banner of the king of Chu, how can they not complain in their hearts.

There was a panic in the city, and at this time, behind the soldiers, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Futai, Lord Zhentai has arrived!" ”

The soldiers who were talking a lot hurriedly turned around and stood up straight.

At the end of the steps, Plug Yinxi and Wu Zun Zhou, accompanied by the civil and military officials of Jiangxi Zhusi, boarded the north city, where they passed, all the sergeants bowed their heads and saluted, many soldiers saw Plug Yinxi, and the panic on their faces immediately dissipated a lot, as if they saw the backbone of the main heart.

Liu Yipeng and Guo Tiancai saw that Yinxi was going to the city, and immediately greeted him, pointing to the north of the city and said: "Futai, the king of Chu is almost under the city, and the town is not in Nanchang, what should we do?" ”

Wu Zunzhou, who accompanied him, heard this, his face turned pale, he participated in the coup d'état throughout the whole process, Wang Yan returned to Nanjing through Anqing, and changed his route to Wuchang, their plan basically failed. For a while, Wu Zunzhou couldn't help but tremble in his legs.

There was a long breath in Du Yinxi's nose, and he saw that many generals surrounded him, wanting to hear how he decided, but he waved his hand, "You all perform your duties, and Benfu has his own decision!" ”

Many generals listened, and although they were reluctant, they still dispersed.

King Tang wanted to make a coup d'état, and Du Yinxi naturally knew about it, but he didn't support it, but King Tang didn't adopt his opinion.

He opposed the coup, not because he was on Wang Yan's side, but because he felt that the coup was not a good choice at this time, first of all, he instinctively rejected the Tang king to use this method, and secondly, even if the Tang king succeeded, the Chu faction bigwigs such as He Tengjiao in the southwest, Wu Jinxi in Huguang, and Chen Zilong in Liangguang still existed.

The Tang King used such drastic means to seize power and break the current political rules of the Ming Dynasty, and the Chu faction bigwigs may not hold on to the rules, and they may also raise troops to seize power.

Especially He Tengjiao, Du Yinxi understands his old boss very well, and there is absolutely no bottom line in the fight, if he plays the banner of avenging Wang Yan and quelling the rebellion, contacts the people of Chu Yue, and learns from Zuo Liangyu to move eastward, then the Ming Dynasty will be over, and even if they do not raise troops to avenge Wang Yan, it is very likely to form a state of separation.

In this way, the pattern of the Ming Dynasty was only changed from the Chu faction representing the central government, Tang Lu separating the territory, to the Tang faction representing the central government, and the Chu faction turning into a secession place, which was no progress at all for the imperial court, and even reversed.

There are thousands of kinds of flowers, and people in the world are also different, some are selfish, and some have a public heart.

In the officialdom, after staying for a long time, the vast majority of people will slowly become politicians, but Du Yinxi is actually the same as Wang Yan, he has a certain bottom line in doing things, and he can be regarded as a politician.

Wang Yan suddenly entered Jiangxi, and Du Yinxi already understood that King Tang might be about to fail.

For Wang Yan, Du Yinxi was actually very disappointed, he once thought that Wang Yan was a figure like Guo Ziyi and Yue Wumu, but Wang Yan gradually developed in the direction of power and rape.

At this time, Du Yinxi walked to the edge of the city wall, and Wang Yan led the army to the city.

He saw behind Wang Yan, colorful flags flying, gongs and drums were noisy, as if he was afraid that no one would know that he was coming.
