Chen Long's face was sluggish and leaning less, he hugged his head, and his face was painful.

"How can this be ......"

"Tilong, if you don't want to follow me, you can go home, this Northern Expedition to Burma has nothing to do with you, you and I have nothing to do with it from now on, whether I win or lose, live or die, it has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Ruxun is colorful.

Chen Longzheng looked up sharply.

"Xiao Hou, I, Chen Longzheng, am not such a person! I mean...... I...... I mean...... I ......"

"There is no other way to go, Tilong, you tell me, are you willing to follow me on the Northern Expedition and rescue Your Majesty?"

"I ...... I ......"

Chen Longzheng hesitated for a while, and finally showed ruthlessness and gritted his teeth fiercely: "I am willing!" I'm going to ask Shen Cheng face to face! Where did he memorize the teachings of the saints? This great rebel! ”

"Good! In that case, it is time to wait! Tilong, how many ships do you have, how many reliable people do you have? ”

Chen Longzheng said: "I came to Zhenjiang this time to bring back the porcelain ordered by the French, so I only brought three boats, a few guards, and most of the rest were recruited sailors. ”

"How many guards?"

"Twenty men per boat, sixty in all."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Enough!" Immediately select capable people to report to various places, let all our merchant ships go back, do not stay, time is running out, and when the news of the coup reaches Nanjing, once someone informs us, we will have no hiding place in Jiangnan. ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! Do it now! ”

Chen Long is about to run.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Ruxun shouted out to stop Chen Longzheng, and then said: "Tilong, after you finish arranging the manpower, take a boat with me to Nanjing, my brother Xiao Ruzhi is in Nanjing, I want to take him with me, otherwise Shen will definitely harm him." ”

Chen Longzheng suddenly realized, and hurriedly nodded: "My subordinates understand!" ”

Subsequently, Chen Longzheng immediately took action, hurriedly went out to make arrangements, and sent more than a dozen people to the surrounding cities where Burmese merchant ships were doing business, and issued a hundred thousand urgent warnings to them.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Longzheng completed his order, and immediately ordered the ship to set off for Nanjing, while the other two ships continued to complete the unfinished task, and returned to Burma together after the command ship returned.

Zhenjiang is not far from Nanjing, and at noon, the ship arrived at the dock near Nanjing, and then Chen Longzheng took Xiao Ruxun to Nanjing City.

Before entering the city, out of prudence, Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Hu and Xu Yong to go out to inquire about the news, and learned that everything was as usual in Nanjing, there were no special changes, and no one even mentioned the coup d'état in the capital, and everyone was living a life without any waves as usual.

Thanks to the backward means of communication in this era, Xiao Ruxun has reason to believe that if this is not the Ming Dynasty, but the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later, if he wants to do the same thing, I am afraid it will be much more difficult.

A telegram from the capital was photographed, and Nanjing was in the air.

Like now, Xiao Ruxun can still have so much precious time to arrange calmly.

Xiao Ruxun relieved himself and followed Chen Longzheng into Nanjing and arrived at Xiao Ruzhi's mansion.

Xiao Ruzhi was in the house, and when she saw Xiao Ruxun coming, her eyes widened wider than anyone else, and after listening to Xiao Ruxun's story, she was directly stupid.

"How could this happen?"

"Yes, third brother, you can't wait any longer, pack up immediately, call your sister-in-law and nephew, leave immediately, don't stay, don't take leave, follow me immediately."

Xiao Ruzhi reacted easily, and suddenly realized that the matter was urgent, and she didn't have time to say anything, so she immediately arranged it.

There are not many people in Xiao Ruzhi's mansion, and most of them are old servants, so he secretly ordered the old servants to clean up with him, and left Nanjing City with Xiao Ruxun and Chen Longzheng by car from the back door, and arrived at the dock to board the ship, and then the ship quickly left Nanjing City.

"Ji Xin, what about the eldest brother and the second brother?"

Xiao Ruzhi came back to her senses at this time, worried about Xiao Rulan and Xiao Ruhui who were far away in the northwest border.

"I've already asked someone for help, there should still be time for him, if he can do this, the lives of the eldest brother and the second brother should be fine."

"Who's going to help? This...... What if we can't catch up? ”

"My old acquaintance in North Korea, Mr. Liu Huangshang, he will help me, third brother, there is no other way now, it's all my fault, I ...... cough cough cough ......"

Xiao Ruxun's heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't help coughing while holding her chest.

Xiao Ruzhi hurriedly helped Xiao Ruxun stroke her back.

"There's no point in talking about this now, Rukaoru, are you really planning to go on a Northern Expedition? This...... It's really ......."

"Brother."

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath: "I have no other way than the Northern Expedition, Shen has always wanted to kill me, to destroy Burma, I will not sit still, I have 100,000 soldiers and horses, why can't I give it a go?" ”

"One hundred thousand?!"

Xiao Ruhui was shocked: "Ruxun, what have you done in Myanmar?" How could there be an army of 100,000 in a place like Burma? ”

"Brother will find out when he goes."

Xiao Ruxun's face was solemn: "And as long as I raise troops for the Northern Expedition, even if the eldest brother and second brother are unfortunately caught by Shen Zhengyi, Shen Zheng will not dare to hurt the eldest brother and second brother, he still needs the eldest brother and second brother to threaten me, but it doesn't matter, Shen Zheng's relatives and relatives stay in Zhejiang, if I raise troops, I will definitely dispatch the sailors to raid Shen Chengcheng's hometown from the sea as soon as possible and capture his relatives and clansmen, I think he dares to hurt the eldest brother and second brother!" ”

Xiao Ruhui opened her mouth and didn't speak.

In the afternoon of the same day, the ship returned to Zhenjiang Mansion and would head towards the mouth of the Yangtze River with the other two boats, and then turn south and sail towards the South Sea.

Xiao Ruxun's guess was not wrong, Shen Zheng did arrange six hundred miles on land to expedite the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and also made full use of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to transmit this news to the areas along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

However, their luck was not good, and on the way south, they encountered headwinds, and the fleet arrived in Nanjing three days late.

In the past three days, all the merchant ships from the ports along the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal from Burma Town have received this 100,000 urgent news, and the ships that come to do business are basically the official merchant ships organized by the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, and they are very obedient to orders, let alone such orders.

Many ships left the local area in a hurry before they even had time to get their goods, which made the partners and monks confused.

When the last Burmese merchant ship sailed through Zhenjiang Province and fled towards the mouth of the Yangtze River, the first messengers sent by the imperial court to announce the news from Jiangnan finally arrived in Nanjing.

Only then did the people of Nanjing know that their emperor had changed.

They also knew that the great hero general Xiao Ruxun was actually a rebellious thief.

However, as in the case of the city, the transmission of this news was only the beginning of a large-scale confusion of thoughts.

Especially in the southeastern region, even many scholars are skeptical of this news, and there are many people who do not believe it at all.

They asked Shen to give an accurate statement, why Zhu Yijun abdicated, what the matter was going on, they had to listen to the truth.

This is especially evident among the poor scholars who cultivate and read the heirloom.

However, the government doesn't care much about this at all, and a group of scholars can say whatever they want, and they can't delay it anyway.

However, there were constant reports from local authorities that merchant ships from Burma had disappeared within two or three days.

This kind of thing makes the local government feel very wrong.
