Zhu Chenhao reversed, and he reversed neatly and with great momentum.

In fact, Zhu Chenhao looks at Wenwen weak on the surface, but in fact, he is an ambitious person behind his back, and he has already made sufficient preparations for this rebellion. For example, he began to secretly collude with some important ministers in the court from a very early age, and did not hesitate to spend huge amounts of money for this, and for example, he has been operating in Jiangxi for many years, and now he has controlled the entire territory of Jiangxi in his hands, and after he raised troops, he was also decisive in killing, directly killed Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, and Xu Kui, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi, and eliminated the two court ministers who could hinder his rebellion the most. accused Zhu Houzhao of being absurd and unreasonable, corrupting the dynasty, and should abdicate to make way for Xian, and then led a large army to attack the city and conquer the city, along the Yangtze River, all the way downstream.

In just a few days, Zhu Chenhao slightly crossed Jiujiang, broke Nankang, went out of Jiangxi, attacked Anqing, and the former army pointed directly at Nanjing, an important town of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, as we all know, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was the capital of Nanjing at the beginning of the founding of the country, so in fact, for the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City is their foundation, and the reason why they are now the capital of Beijing is that it was done by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, but, even so, for so many years, the status of Nanjing City has never been reduced because of this, for example, Nanjing also has six departments, etc., the configuration of officials there, is generally similar to the capital, that is to say, if Zhu Chenhao can occupy Nanjing, then, even if he can't conquer the capital with the Northern Expedition and occupy the entire country, then, at least he can rule the river with Zhu Houzhao and divide the country into two. And he can also occupy the fatter half, you know, Nanjing used to be a rich land in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Since ancient times, it has been known as the granary of the world, if he can occupy such a place, why not leave the northern half of the country to Zhu Houzhao? Wouldn't that be better? Instead, Zhu Houzhao helped him guard the country and deal with the invasion of the Tatars. so that he can enjoy his imperial life in Nanjing.

Therefore, now Zhu Chenhao is full of ambition and high spirits, and he is playing his own wishful thinking in his heart, ready to divide the world with Zhu Houzhao.

However, what Zhu Chenhao didn't expect was that just when his soldiers had just left Jiangxi and were besieging Anqing Mansion, there was a person who became his nemesis. This person is none other than Yang Shen, who is currently serving as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the governor of Jiangxi.

In fact, Yang Shen, the governor of Jiangxi, was also appointed by Yang Tinghe after the previous Jiangxi Xun father Sun Sui was killed, and Yang Tinghe's purpose in doing this was very simple, that is, to let Yang Shen lead the Ming military power on the Yangtze River to confront Zhu Chenhao, but Yang Tinghe's original intention was to let Yang Shen deliberately release water. It is necessary to let Zhu Chenhao's rebellion succeed and successfully occupy Nanjing, and then he responded to Zhu Chenhao's call in the capital and raised troops to respond. So much so that he directly gave the entire Daming country to Zhu Chenhao, but what Yang Tinghe never expected was that his ideas were not recognized by Yang Shen, but made Yang Shen feel extremely angry.

At that time, Yang Shen was in the city of Nanjing. After receiving Yang Tinghe's secret letter, as soon as he saw the content on it, he immediately gritted his teeth in anger and directly tore the letter to shreds. Yes, Yang Shen didn't expect his father to do such a rebellious thing, he actually plotted to abolish the emperor and let the Ming Dynasty change hands, this is really too bold, Yang Shen didn't know how to reply to his father for a while.

However, Yang Shen is not a mortal after all, so after some calm thinking at that time, he quickly came up with a countermeasure, he must not let his father and King Ning's treacherous plan succeed, he wants to protect the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, at this time, the reason why Yang Shen wants to think like this, or whether he has to do it, there is actually no specific reason, the only reason why he does this is because of his loyalty, he feels that since he is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he must be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, do his best, and die, and must not do that rebellious thing, so, from this aspect, Yang Shen is bound by etiquette, and his father Yang Tinghe, at this time, is not the same as him, Because Yang Tinghe has experienced too many things in the world, he is already desperate for Zhu Houzhao, so he wants to change the world, and Yang Shen has been in Nanjing, far away from the center of the political struggle of the imperial court, so he naturally can't understand his father's hard work, otherwise, he must be against Zhu Houzhao like Yang Tinghe.

However, there is always no if, at this time Yang Shen, it is impossible to change the deep-rooted concepts he has cultivated since childhood because of a letter from Yang Tinghe, so he has absolutely no possibility of supporting Yang Tinghe, even if Yang Tinghe is his father, it is not good, after all, loyalty and filial piety are in a dilemma, and the word "loyalty" is the first essence of the literati, so he chose loyalty and gave up filial piety.

So, since he has chosen to be loyal to the imperial court and the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao, what should Yang Shen do next?

First of all, he replied to Yang Tinghe, expressing his deference and expressing his willingness to cooperate with Yang Tinghe and support Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, so that he stabilized Yang Tinghe internally, and externally, he continued to hold real power.

After that, he acted quickly, first of all, he took advantage of Zhu Houzhao who was coming to Nanjing, preparing to clean up Zhu Chenhao's reasons with his own hands, and released false news, saying that Zhu Houzhao brought a 100,000-strong elite army from Datong Mansion in Shanxi Province to prepare to deal with Zhu Chenhao, which caused a huge psychological deterrent to Zhu Chenhao, so that Zhu Chenhao did not dare to go south after arriving in Anqing Mansion, lest he fall into the encirclement of the imperial army.

After successfully using fake news to delay Zhu Chenhao's march, Yang Shen rejected the general's suggestion to rush to Anqing, but directly waved his army to detour through Jiangxi and went straight to Zhu Chenhao's hometown Nanchang.

It can be imagined how much of a threat this move will pose to Zhu Chenhao by encircling Wei and saving Zhao. You must know that Zhu Chenhao's wife and children all stayed in Nanchang, and there were very few defenders in Nanchang, so after Yang Shen made a plan, he quickly waved his troops to Nanchang, and soon broke through Nanchang City, and Zhu Chenhao's family was all served to the pot.

At this time, Zhu Chenhao, who was besieging Anqing Mansion, heard the news, naturally panicked, and hurriedly returned to the division to rescue, wanting to recapture Nanchang City, but, at this time, Yang Shen had already completed the deployment of troops, just waiting for Zhu Chenhao to throw himself into the net, first of all, he himself Chen soldiers outside Nanchang City, facing the enemy head-on, at the same time, ordered Ji'an Governor Wu Wending and others to lead troops to Qinwang, attacking Zhu Chenhao's back, and then, just a few days later, the two sides fought a decisive battle in Huangjiadu under Nanchang City, Then Zhu Chenhao was really defeated under the attack of Yang Shen and Wu Wending.

However, Zhu Chenhao is not a vegetarian, even if he was defeated at this time, he still calmly led the army to retreat to the Qiaoshe ferry downstream, where he joined ships to protect himself and resist Yang Shen's attack.

Otherwise, Yang Shen is Zhu Chenhao's nemesis, which is reflected at this time. At that time, Yang Shen saw Zhu Chenhao connect the large and small ships together to form a water fortress, which was difficult to break for a while, and then he rolled his eyes, counted in his heart, and waited directly for a few days, and then looked at the weather with the right wind direction, and used dozens of small boats, carrying hay, tung oil and other items, after igniting, and letting them go downwind.

It is conceivable that in this way, Zhu Chenhao suffered a great crime, and the entire water village immediately fell into the purgatory of ice and fire, and he didn't know how many people were burned to death for a while.

Then, Yang Shen, at this time, led the naval army to watch the periphery for a long time, until Zhu Chenhao's stockade was almost burned, then he waved his army to cover up the killing, and finally captured Zhu Chenhao, as well as his son, wife, and strategists.

So, so far, the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, was declared to be over, and after careful calculation, this Zhu Chenhao lasted a total of forty-three days from the beginning of the army to the defeat and capture, and the overall results were still good, at least the duration was twice as long as that of Zhu Zhifan, the king of Anhua, which proved his ability, he is not an ordinary vassal king, he also has a brain, but this brain is too simple.

However, even if Zhu Chenhao's rebellion has lasted long enough, it is not difficult to see from it that the princes of the Ming Dynasty are what kind of goods, they are actually not as good as those thieves in the mountains, and the thieves may not be defeated so quickly when they raise an army, but what about them? One is ten days, the other is forty days, and everyone has tens of thousands of troops, and in a vassal country, they have been operating for many years, but they are all defeated so quickly, what does this mean? Wang grandson is not enough, and it is difficult to become a tool, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao is unreliable, I am afraid that the old Zhu family at this time will be difficult to find reliable people, so if you talk about it from this aspect, in fact, Yang Shen's choice is also correct, and Yang Tinghe is a little idealistic, he tries to change the emperor and change the status quo, which is really a little too naïve.

However, just when Yang Shen dispatched troops, arranged troops, and killed Zhu Chenhao in embarrassment, there was a person who was unhappy at this time, but this person was not Yang Tinghe, but Zhu Houzhao, who was hurrying to Nanjing.

"Damn, Yang Shen, bastard, how are you stealing the show? I said a long time ago, I want to clean up this Zhu Chenhao with my own hands, why did you catch him so quickly? You release him for me, put him back in Nanchang, and let him fight again, this time I have to catch him with my own hands! When Zhu Houzhao heard that King Ning had been defeated and captured, he couldn't help but be full of depression, and then in a flash of inspiration, he thought of such a "good idea", he wanted to put King Ning back, let him fight again, and then catch him with his own hands.

It is conceivable that after Yang Shen received Zhu Houzhao's will, how he couldn't cry or laugh, at this time, he even understood Yang Tinghe's distress, however, understanding is understanding, and the holy will is the holy will, but after all, Zhu Chenhao is an anti-king, and now he has been caught, so he has absolutely no reason to put him back, so Yang Shen finally escorted Zhu Chenhao and other prisoners, and went to Nanjing, ready to meet Zhu Houzhao.
