Li Xin was summoned to the political hall by a group of old ministers, and they needed Li Xin to give a reasonable explanation for the bombardment of the Guanxiang residence by the Hongmao Fan fleet. Because so far, everyone has only seen the rampant of the red-haired fan, and it was Li Xin who deliberately lured these ghosts in! Nanjing originally deliberately and easily kept these people out of the waterway of the Qinhuai River.

In the face of the aggressive questioning in the political hall, Li Xin patiently answered them one by one, his plan has been successfully implemented halfway, and it seems that it is about to be completed, and all that is needed now is patience.

"Wait? When? Do you have to wait until the fall of Nanjing, until you sell all the civil and military forces in the city to the red-haired ghosts? ”

Xiong Mingyu didn't wait for Li Xin to finish speaking, he had already become angry, he felt that it was because of his weakness that he gave Li Xin the opportunity to pull Nanjing into the quagmire. This time, no matter what, I can't let this person mess around anymore. What's more, he already saw this person as unpleasant, and at this time, he just took the opportunity to convict him and put him in prison, which can be regarded as removing a major hidden danger for the imperial court. Since he has this kind of thought, every time Xiong Ming is criticized, he will inevitably label Li Xin as a certain collusion with bandits and foreign countries.

"The old man thinks that you still have to give the Marquis Zhenyu some time, after all, if the strategy that the Marquis Zhenyu said succeeds......"

Zheng Sanjun, the head of the household, hesitated to express his opinion, but his attitude was not very firm, and he was interrupted by Xiong Mingyu only halfway through his words.

"Can't wait any longer! We can't take Nanjing's comfort and risk the hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing! If something goes wrong, how can you explain it to the imperial court, and how can you be worthy of the trust of today's saints? I immediately launched an all-out attack on the red-haired ghosts on the Qinhuai River, drove them out, drove them out of the Qinhuai River, and drove them out of Nanjing! ”

Xiong Mingyu was impassioned, and every word and sentence was loud, which infected many people present.

"Xiong Shangshu's words are reasonable! We really can't risk the lives of the people in the city anymore! The bombing of the gate outside the city is a ready-made example! The person who spoke was Jiang Yueguang, the Zhan Shi who was in charge of the affairs of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, and while speaking, he looked at Li Xin again.

"Please also ask the Marquis of Zhenyu to hand over the military power to command the various gates of Nanjing!" Jiang Yueguang's voice was not loud, but it was calm and powerful, his words were like knives, and his words were like a dagger. Li Xin was angry, but his face was silent, and he faintly seemed to be able to hear the sound of gold and iron clashing outside the political affairs hall. Suddenly, he found himself in a situation where he had never been alone. I'm afraid that if I make any changes in the political hall, I will be arrested and imprisoned by these old guys at any time.

Sweat gradually penetrated the back of Li Xin's clothes, and his gaze swept over the political hall one by one. Zheng Sanjun, the head of the household department in Nanjing, who had clearly expressed his support for the Three Guards, had a misty look in his eyes and did not make contact with Li Xin, and it was clear that he had compromised with his colleagues.

Next, Li Xin turned to Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who had been trying to embarrass himself, but now how could he let go of such an opportunity to fall into the ground? It is not known that he was also one of the masterminds.

Also present was Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Li Xin secretly shook his head, Xiaoya, the daughter of the criminal officer of the Ministry of Justice, had some dealings with him when he was registered. But the means are a little unseemly. Even if the old man suffers a secret loss on his son's head, he will definitely not say a word for himself.

"Doesn't the Marquis of Zhenyu understand Jiang Gong's words? How can you still be indecisive, is it possible that you are still greedy for authority? A cold voice came from Zheng Sanjun's side, and Li Xin recognized this person, who was Bi Maokang, the servant of the Nanjing household.

Bi Maokang's words were very direct, and it was clear that everyone had lost patience. In the face of such a dilemma, Li Xin regretted that he should not underestimate the enemy, but the other party had no intention of calculating or not, he could prevent it once, how could he prevent it three or four times!

Li Xin was even ready to break the net, as long as the old guys wanted to do it, they would attack and kidnap one of them to protect themselves. He didn't believe that these people dared to kill themselves regardless of the life and death of their colleagues.

The political hall began to become silent in the sound of Bi Maokang's showdown, and no one refused to say a word lightly, everyone was waiting, waiting for the other party to lose their breath first.

At this moment, the soap li outside suddenly sang loudly: "The governor of Nanzhili has arrived!" ”

A sentence broke the gradually frozen air in the political hall.

saw two servants of the Sun family carrying a bamboo couch in, and on the bamboo couch was the seriously ill Sun Jie.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

Before Sun Ji could speak, he coughed vigorously for a long time, then stopped his voice and turned his head to look at Li Xin who was sitting in the chair.

"The war in the city is tight, why are you still doing here?"

Li Xinyan doesn't know what Sun Jiao means, but he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is not easy to get out of this political hall. Sun Ji seemed to have seen through Li Xin's thoughts, and said in a weak voice: "You go by yourself, and the outside are my pacesetters!" No one dares to touch you! ”

As soon as this extremely weak sentence came out, it was like a drum beating hard, causing Xiong Ming's body to tremble. His right hand seemed to tremble carelessly, and he hit the tea bowl and fell to the ground, shattering it with a thud. This is a pre-set code, as long as the cup is thrown in the political hall, the guards outside will rush in to get people.

But now that the tea bowl has fallen, but no one has appeared, Xiong Mingyu's face has turned pale, he knows that what Sun Ji said is true, and the political hall has been controlled by the pacesetter brought by Sun Ji. Li Xin's Qiu Ba can't be eliminated today. He is still unwilling, if he lets Li Xin out today, this person will definitely hate himself very much, how can he let himself go in the future?

"Sun Butang is going to commit a mutiny?"

At this moment, Xiong Mingyu was like a mad dog, and when he caught it, he was bitten indiscriminately. Even a few old men with white beards shook their heads secretly when they watched it from the sidelines, if it was said that Li Xin, the marquis of Zhenju, had mutinied, someone could still believe it. If Sun Jiao mutinied, who would be stupid enough to believe such absurd words?

Zheng Sanjun immediately stepped forward to play a round for Sun Ji.

"Sun Butang has worked too hard, he should take care of his talents, there are marquis in the army, and there are many colleagues in internal affairs, so he will not be deserted!"

Li Xin remained silent, but secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, seeing that the wind made the rudder fast, as if he had not participated in the attack just now.

With the change of Zheng Sanjun's attitude, the rest of the people also gave up their original tough attitude, and said that they would let Sun Ji take care of his body, and if there was anything, he would let Soap Li come with a book. In just a few months, Sun Jian had such prestige, which Li Xin did not expect.

Seeing that several scholars in the political hall were leaving, Li Xinchang stood up, "Everyone! Listen to Li Xin's words! ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xin at the same time.

"What's the matter with the Marquis? But that's it! It was Zheng Sanjun who spoke.

"Li Xin knows that you have concerns about the Three Guards, and some people even say that Li is collaborating with the enemy, and it is nothing for me to suffer such slander alone, but those soldiers who fought on the front line to defend Nanjing at the cost of their lives are so chilling! In order to dispel your doubts, how about I dare to invite you to go to the city to watch the battle? ”

As soon as these words came out, the political hall became silent again.

Li Xin sneered: "How? Does no one dare to go? ”

This sentence was a bit heavy, and the old men's faces couldn't hold back, undoubtedly saying that they were greedy for life and afraid of death. These people value fame, how can they be ridiculed by a Qiu Ba for being greedy for life and afraid of death? So I can only admit it head-on, and the city is!

A turmoil was resolved invisibly under Sun Jie's timely intervention. Li Xin didn't have time to understand how Sun Ji got the information and rushed to the political hall in time to relieve the siege. There has been a lot of delay just now, and according to expectations, the fleet on the Qinhuai River should have almost run aground, and the next battle is the key to the success of this battle.

A dry of old men in the soap Li support, trembling up to the treasure gate tower, looking around, but see the Qinhuai River dense red haired boats, towering masts are even higher than the city wall. Timid as Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, his body was suddenly soft, and if he was forcibly supported by a soap, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

Before, I had only heard about it in the political hall, and I didn't have an intuitive impression, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, the shock of the scene was really unbearable.

Everyone was different, and Li Xin didn't bother to pay attention to them, the water level in the river had dropped sharply, and the three-masted galleon was stranded on the river, and he knew the most critical moment.

Li Xin summoned Mi Yan, who was already waiting very anxiously.

"Start the final plan, remember, strictly order to open fire and set fire!"

After receiving Li Xin's order, the treasure gate was wide open, and the grenadier battalion, which had long been holding back its anger, rushed out of the city, and then rushed forward in formation at the fastest speed. It was followed by Cheng Mingjiu's first battalion and the battalions under it, a total of five battalions of phalanx.

Most of the old men in the city saw the military appearance of the Three Guards for the first time, and saw that the infantry phalanx was neat and uniform, and the momentum was like a rainbow, which was very different from the Ming army they had seen before, and they couldn't help but secretly shout good, and they all felt that Li Xinren was good at war, not in vain.

"Look, look! The red-haired fan has met the enemy! ”

One of them suddenly pointed to the distance in the middle of the matter, and everyone looked at it with their fingers, and sure enough, they vaguely saw a group of red-haired fans with your blonde hair and blue eyes actually patting a formation similar to the three guards, and came quickly.

The galleons in the river were staggering, and some of the old ministers of the city noticed this situation and guessed: "Look at the ships in the river, it seems that they are stranded!" ”

At this time, someone patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Didn't the Marquis of Zhenju say that it is possible to design a fleet of captive pirates?" Now it seems that it is not a fool's dream! ”

Previously, in the political hall, Li Xin talked about his plan, and was directly reprimanded by Xiong Mingyu and other cadres as an idiot talking about a dream, and even the ministers present felt unbelievable, which Cheng thought that it was a dream come true at this moment.
