If it ends at this point, it's fine.

Zhai Zhe allowed Zong Mao to carry King Lu out, just to warn Emperor Longwu that there was no agreement between him and Zheng Zhilong to abolish the emperor, and now was definitely not the time to set off infighting.

But Zong Mao's purpose is obviously more than that, otherwise King Lu would not have fallen into the hands of Zhang Mingzhen.

Zhai Zhe has always had a special preference for Zong Mao and Feng Qin. Compared with Feng Qin's caution, Zong Mao has always been very aggressive, and he will always stick to what he thinks is right.

It is precisely because of his radicalism that he can keep up with Zhai Zhe's footsteps.

For example, if the soldiers and firearms were split into the production of firms, Hangzhou and Ningshao have built the largest weapons production workshops in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, we should firmly implement the strategy of directly releasing military salaries from the Pingyu General's Office. Zhai Zhe's move is to prevent the main general from deducting military salaries, but when it is really implemented, the resistance is not a little bit big, and another person may find Zhai Zhe to say the difficulty, but here in Zong Mao, there is only firm implementation.

For example, in Zhai Zhe, he established a martial arts hall in Hangzhou. From the very beginning, Zong Mao realized that the lecture hall was the most important part of Zhai Zhe's layout in the imperial court. Every teacher in the lecture hall was carefully selected by him and Feng Qin in consultation with him, whether it was teaching military formations or teaching the art of war. For example, Chen Zilong, as the governor of Zhejiang, was also invited to give a lecture to those ignorant hairy guys. The lecture on martial arts is Zhai Zhe's idea, but it is all Zong Mao's hard work.

Hangzhou Mansion.

Zong Mao is as stable as Mount Tai in the Pinglu General's Mansion. He has no fame, but now he is one of the most powerful people in Jiangnan.

There was a commotion outside the door, the soldiers couldn't stop the comers, and Chen Zilong strode in angrily.

"Sect Leader, what exactly do you want to play that song?"

He was angry that Zong Mao's actions had violated his bottom line. He didn't hate King Lu, and even had some sympathy for King Lu, but it was half a year ago that Lu Jianguo had a good time, and Daming finally had some turnaround, and he couldn't withstand the scourge of internal strife.

Zong Mao stretched out his hand, ordered his soldiers to prepare their seats, and said without hurry: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Chen Zilong was at the apex of the wind's anger and said: "Please invite King Lu back to Taizhou, otherwise Jiangnan will be in chaos, and you are plotting rebellion!" ”

"Lord Chen, please respect yourself when you speak!" Zong Mao's face instantly sank, "I'm just the head of the Pingyu General's Mansion, are you saying that the general has rebelled?" ”

"Me!" Chen Zilong was speechless for a while, he sat heavily on the chair, calmed down a little, and asked, "Is the sect director trying to force me to gather the government soldiers in Zhejiang to quell the rebellion?" ”

After Zhai Zhe reformed the military system, the regular soldiers and the government soldiers belonged to different systems. The regular army was under the direct control of the generals, and the governors and governors had nominal authority over their movements. However, the soldiers of various prefectures are under the control of civilian officials in their spare time, and Zhai Zhe's move is to disperse the military power, and it is also to entrust Chen Zilong and others with important tasks. To maintain local law and order, and to eliminate thieves, government soldiers are needed.

Zong Mao's attitude softened, walked to Chen Zilong's side, and asked, "Lord Chen, do you know where King Lu is now?" ”

"In Matsue!"

"I think Lord Chen should know, I don't have the power to mobilize troops and horses."

Yes, Zong Mao has never been given the power to mobilize troops and horses, and in a sense, the strength he can use is not comparable to Chen Zilong.

"Isn't that what the Great General meant?" Chen Zilong is not a three-year-old child, if King Lu can't get Zhai Zhe's protection, his own safety is a problem, how can he run out by himself.

Zong Mao did not give him a positive reply, emphasizing: "Now King Lu is in Zhang Mingzhen's barracks. ”

Zhang Mingzhen is a diehard loyalist of King Lu, and last year he knew that when King Lu retired from prison, he was already in the boat, so he had no complaints about Zhai Zhe.

Chen Zilong and Zhang Mingzhen had several face-to-face acquaintances, and said very painfully: "Do you really want to raise troops to quell the rebellion?" ”

"I sent a letter to the Great General as a celebrity, and this knot can only be untied by the Great General now."

He didn't get a satisfactory result here in Zong Mao, and Chen Zilong left, he was very disappointed and sad. Daming is still that Daming, the same court as the court, and even sitting in the auxiliary seat is Ma Shiying a year ago.

A year ago, it was a party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and now it is a struggle for power between the general and the emperor, and the joy of recovering Jiangnan is gradually dissipating.

In Jiangnan, Chen Zilong is by no means the only one who has this kind of affection.

Longwu's holy decree spread throughout the provinces south of the Yangtze River, ordering soldiers and horses from all over the country to arrest King Lu who left the fiefdom without authorization.

Zhejiang's government soldiers are gathering, and no one really wants King Lu to enter Beijing, except for Zhang Mingzhen. Meng Kang, the general of Ningshao, received the order of Chen Zilong, the governor of Zhejiang, and led 5,000 soldiers to leave Ningbo Mansion and enter the border of Hangzhou.

Zhang Mingzhen ordered his soldiers to receive King Lu at the border of Hangzhou, and then led his army to leave the garrison without authorization and stationed at the border of Jiading. The people here do not have a bad impression of King Lu.

On the one hand, Feng Qin wanted to hold the defense line of the Yangtze River, and ordered Yuan Qizhou to lead 5,000 soldiers to monitor Zhang Mingzhen.

Zong Mao left Hangzhou and rushed to the barracks along the Yangtze River.

The commander of the Yangtze River defense line, Zhang Mingzhen is nominally controlled by him, but Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren have never taken him seriously.

The food and salary of the 150,000 regular soldiers and 80,000 government soldiers under the command of General Pinglu were all under the control of the general's office, and only Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen formed their own system. They are not Zhai Zhe's descendants, nor do they rely on Zhai Zhe's beginnings. They reunited with Zhai Zhe because of the anti-shaving order, but they never thought they were Zhai Zhe's subordinates.

A year ago, when Zhai Zhe was the chief soldier of Ning Shao, Fang Guoan was the chief soldier of Zhejiang, Wang Zhiren was the chief soldier of Wu Song, and Zhang Mingzhen was the deputy general of Ning Shao, and the status of several people was not much different.

Maybe they all have a little unwillingness in their hearts.

However, Zong Mao doesn't care so much, there can only be one person in Jiangnan who speaks and counts, and that person is the general.

He did not go to Songjiang, but went straight to Suzhou Mansion, where the camp of the Chinese army was placed.

Take a boat from the canal to Suzhou in one day and one night.

Zong Mao walked into Fengqin's camp, and the guards retreated, leaving only these two people in the tent.

They have similar experiences, but they are two very different kinds of people.

Feng Qin looked very wooden, but as soon as he spoke, he went to Zong Mao's death hole, "Why did King Lu fall into the hands of Zhang Mingzhen!" "If this is just Zong Mao's dereliction of duty, then it is nothing, just because Zhang Mingzhen's 5,000 people can't make much waves in Jiangnan.

"Perhaps, Zhang Mingzhen had a premeditated plan!"

Feng Qin personally poured a glass of water for Zong Mao, handed it over, and said, "The general won't do this!" "He never drank tea. Qing Shui will not bring him any affection.

These pro-soldiers all know what kind of person the general is, and the general has always left room for people to do things, and will not lure Zhang Mingzhen to a dead end.

They are too familiar to deceive people, this is the typical way of doing things.

"We were all brought up by the general from the steppe! What we have now is what we have in exchange for blood and sweat. Since ancient times, there has never been a war in which the court is constrained internally and the general can win a great victory outside. ”

Feng Qin took a sip of water and did not speak.

"Without the order of the general, you won't send troops to quell the rebellion, will you?"

Feng Qin put down the water cup and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Not bad!"

"I am only responsible for the Yangtze River defense line, Zhang Mingzhen does not listen to military orders, and has his own court to punish him."

Zong Mao left with peace of mind, he did not have the power to mobilize troops and horses, but his influence was omnipresent in the army.

Songjiang and Suzhou gathered fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, but no one was ordered by the imperial court to capture King Lu. This is Fengqin's jurisdiction, Xiao Zhiyan and Zheng Sen did not dare to send troops and horses to enter here to force it.

King Lu stayed in Zhang Mingzhen's camp for four days in anxiety, and a kind of anxiety and fear slowly enveloped him.

Zhang Mingzhen is not afraid, he is just uneven. He was loyal to King Lu, and the credit for recovering Jiangnan should have been attributed to King Lu, but he let King Tang, who had been hiding in Fujian, take advantage.

On the night of April 15, the moon in the sky was round.

After a light rain, the air was filled with the smell of earth.

A row of torches lit up outside Zhang Mingzhen's barracks, and more than a dozen cavalry galloped in.

The people who came wore black cloaks to cover their faces, but there were few cavalry in Jiangnan equipped with such good horses.

The side gate of the camp was opened, no one questioned them, and the guards led the group into the barracks.

The black cavalry did not stop until twenty paces away from the gate of the Chinese army's tent. One man dismounted, and the soldiers who came to greet him entered the tent, and the rest stood outside the tent.

"Mr. Zhang!" The person who came lifted the cloak was Zong Mao.

"Sect Leader!"

Zong Mao put the cloak at his side, "How is King Lu?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen stared at Zong Mao, as if he wanted to see his true thoughts from his face, "The prince is not very good!" ”

Zong Mao laughed and said, "If you can enter Nanjing, it will be good!" ”

"The Jinyi Guard has come to my barracks, but I have blasted him out." Zhang Mingzhen obviously felt a lot of pressure, and asked: "What does the general mean over there, give me a letter." "Since King Lu was taken out of Taizhou, the fire in his heart was ignited again. Without Zhai Zhe's permission, how could King Lu have a chance to see the light of day again

"The Tang King favored He Tengjiao, who was defeated, and he had lost the heart of the army. The general is in Anqing, where the war is stalemate. Although the general was very disappointed in King Tang, it was not good for him to come forward to support King Lu in person! ”

"Why?" Zhang Mingzhen seemed to have been stung by Hu Feng and jumped up, "General, where is this going to King Lu?" ”

"If the court asks you to hand over King Lu, will you hand it over?"

Zhang Mingzhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't pay!" "King Lu handed over to the imperial court, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. In his heart, King Lu has great merit to the Ming Dynasty, and he should sit on the throne of the emperor, how can he become a prisoner.

"Do you dare to lead an army to support King Lu into Nanjing?"

Zhang Mingzhen was shocked.

"This is a conspiracy between you and me, and it has nothing to do with the general!"

Zong Mao is telling the truth, but how can Zhang Mingzhen believe it? With such a big matter, how could Zong Mao be in charge alone, the only possibility was that Zhai Zhe was unwilling to bear the notoriety of forcing Emperor Longwu to abdicate, just like his behavior towards King Lu in eastern Zhejiang.

"General Ning Shaomeng will go to Songjiang tomorrow and will walk with you!"

It's a heavy weight. Everyone knows that Meng Kang is Zhai Zhe's cronies.
