The angry emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the Dou family, the Miao family and other Zhu Changjue's wives and concubines, and announced the investigation of all forces related to Zhu Changjue in the court as soon as possible.

Including those officials who had previously supported Zhu Changjue, they were also temporarily suspended for investigation at this moment......

Ten thousand families in the capital were besieged.

Wanjia will hide from the world and play very slippery.

Wan Mingyang and the old lady of the Wan family in the mansion, several ladies were found to be faked.

The group of masters of the Wan family has left in batches, so they will not be noticed at all. Especially Wan Mingyang, he only left ten days ago.

Before leaving Beijing, Wan Mingyang also set up a table in the capital and showed his face, so he didn't attract much attention in the past few days.

Especially the stand-in he was looking for, obviously prepared, at least seventy percent similar to him. And the voices, expressions, and movements have been deliberately imitated.

It is precisely in this way that he can leave Beijing without knowing it. Even the government, which he had to report on every three days, no one noticed anything wrong with him......

As for the noble man in the palace, he was obviously a victim left by the family, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the family. This is the same as Zhu Changjue's approach.

There is more precise news about Wanjia.

It is said that the reason why hundreds of people in the old mansion of Wanjia and Anhui were able to switch to King Jue was not because they ran away or became a substitute, but because they were above board.

said that a few days ago, Wan Mingyang secretly returned to the old mansion, just waiting for the opportunity of King Jue.

At the first moment when King Jue's crusade against Zhuwen came down, he led the Wan family to rise up, and while trumpeting the mediocrity of the emperor and the court, he went all the way east as fast as possible.

Wan Mingyang personally went down and made a big noise.

The government started the pursuit as soon as possible, but it couldn't bear that the people had already prepared, and the number of people who arranged for cover after the break was even more than that of the government.

The cat caught the mouse and ran around, but in the end, it became the government to be embarrassed and played. And the more this happens, the greater the battle of the ten thousand families. In less than half a day's effort, the entire Anhui region knew that thousands of families were reversed.

Wanjia was already in the local area, and they made such a fuss, and the effect can be imagined.

After Wanjia saw the results, he directly worked with the local officers and soldiers.

Relying on sufficient preparations and numerical superiority, they defeated the officers and men in public. The capture of many officers and soldiers was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the imperial court.

Wan Jia, with the relatives of the Shu clan who came to defect, went straight to dozens of clippers that had already docked in the river, and went all the way down the river and directly into the sea.

A group of clippers played the banner of Wanjia, and when they went down the river, they passed through many large cities, which undoubtedly started their action of defecting to King Jue, and this road gave Wanjia the opportunity to step on the court all the way and praise King Jue all the way......

Wan Jia was so upright, and led the fleet directly from the river to the sea, and defected to the arms of King Jue.

After Wanjia left Anhui, the number of officers and soldiers pursuing was directly reduced by half because of the relationship between geography and authority.

It was also because the Liangjiang Yamen was thoroughly investigated and could not deal with the pursuit at the first time, which allowed the Wanjia to swagger and act in such a rampant manner......

In the imperial study, all the ministers worked together, but they all had a request in their hearts.

They only hope that they will not receive any more 800 miles of expedited from Jiangnan.

They knew very well that the next urgent report would most likely be the beginning of the war.

But in any case, it is best to organize troops at this moment.

However, the emperor had just ordered to increase the number of troops in the southwest, and at this time he had to reorganize the troops, and for a time how to distribute the troops became a big problem.

In fact, in recent years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has not fought many wars, and its troops are mainly concentrated in the southwest, northeast, northwest and coast.

At this moment, a large number of troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been mobilized, and once a major war breaks out, this force will really not be able to keep up.

Some courtiers suggested that it was better to negotiate in the southwest first, and put the main forces of the war to King Jue first. Otherwise, if the smoke rises everywhere, it is easy to suffer from the enemy on the back and the strength is overwhelmed. If the southwest can successfully negotiate with four or two thousand pounds, it will naturally not need to increase troops.

But as soon as this proposal came out, it was refuted by the emperor himself.

"First, General Li is in danger of being detained, if he does not put troops on him and puts pressure on the southwestern barbarians, how can they retreat and release them as quickly as possible at the lowest cost?

Second, if the southwestern barbarians hear that the Great Zhou will start a big war, do you think they will negotiate easily? Will they not want to take advantage of the situation to get a piece of the pie? When the time comes, they will just sit on the ground and raise the price, what if they are more ambitious? Not only will General Li be in danger, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not attack the Great Zhou with their maximum strength.

Third, General Li is the pillar of the country, he has been missing for a long time, and if I don't do my best for him, my conscience will be uneasy. If something happens to him, I have to avenge him. Therefore, I will not waver in the arrangement of the southwest! As planned, let's go tomorrow! ”

The military department Shangshu took the distribution map of the Great Zhou troops, and counted the troops that King Ruojue might deal with when he declared war. But here's the problem. Where will King Jue start the great war?

From the East? That's too broad!

There are at least thousands of miles of coastline that can be called east, right?

The ministers here are still discussing enthusiastically, and over there, sure enough, another 800 taels of urgent documents have been delivered.

The last thing people want to hear is here:

Two hours after Zhu Changjue established himself as emperor, he officially declared war on the Great Zhou! He quickly took Zhoushan Island with lightning speed, and used Zhoushan as the base of his westward expedition.

The troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been transferred by Kang Anbo, and at this moment, not only are the troops insufficient, but also the response is not good. Zhu Changjue did not choose to stay and consolidate his power when he took Zhoushan, but launched a direct attack on Ningbo opposite Zhoushan with overwhelming momentum.

Ningbo is a heavy port, the closest to Zhoushan, the greatest threat, really to start a war to ignite the flames of war, to a good start, Ningbo is naturally the best choice.

Fortunately, the troops in Ningbo Port are sufficient and the configuration is also good.

The officers and men of Ningbo quickly assembled, concentrating their forces in the port to the greatest extent possible, and setting up traps and equipment at all the wharves where the other side might land.

It's just that no one from the officers and soldiers of Ningbo and the local people expected that the officers and soldiers were waiting for the battle, and seeing that Zhu Changjue's fleet was about to land, the other party suddenly turned around.

As soon as the north wind blew, the fleet sailed southward.

Not only did he quickly leave the port of Ningbo, but he also kidnapped several large merchant ships. Of course, it is declared "Lend-Lease" to the outside world.

The preparations made by the officers and men of Ningbo Port were all on the defensive, and they were all on the shore, so they did not know that the other side would make a false shot, and hurriedly organized a fleet to pursue, but they had already missed the opportunity, and the other party had long disappeared.

They were afraid that they would divert the tiger from the mountain or trap, and the official ships chased them for more than ten miles before returning to Ningbo.

Then I heard that Xiangshan was lost.

The reason is very simple, when Zhu Changjue pressed to Ningbo with all his might, several places around him did their best to support him. Including Elephant Mountain.

Therefore, Zhu Changjue fought quickly, and before Xiangshan received the letter from Ningbo, the enemy here came up. Lack of strain and preparedness led to the end of the revolt before it even began.

When the elephant mountain soldiers received the news and turned back, they were greeted by a rain of arrows that were already in place.

Ningbo Port Xiankang Anbo stationed under the deputy future report: In the Juewang fleet, he found that there were two ships that were very familiar. If memory serves, it's probably a pirate ship that has fought before. Moreover, the other party's means of hijacking the ship are clean and neat, and it is clear that he is a veteran. Therefore, it is nine out of all that King Jue has absorbed the remnants of the pirates that were scattered before! ……

The emperor almost didn't come up in a breath when he heard this!

What a rebel! Evil creature!

Sure enough, the guess was correct. This animal and Wan Mingyang, several groups of pirates have long colluded, and those pirate gangs that were defeated by the imperial court last year have all become a solid force in his naval battle at this moment!

Okay, good, he's really well arranged!

Wan Mingyang and the pirates have been cleaned up by the imperial court, they hate the imperial court to the core, as long as anyone gives them a chance, they will definitely be desperate.

Therefore, Wan Ming Yang had Baba to give him money, and the pirate Baba had to give him soldiers. became a solid foundation for his death?

Still robbed?

The emperor's head hurts, his heart hurts, and his whole body hurts.

It's all over, and his reputation is all over.

"How many troops does Zhu Changjue have?"

"When I went to Ningbo to put pressure, I should be the largest force. Based on a rough calculation, it should be between 50,000 and 80,000. But seeing that King Jue has no hesitation, his subordinates have to suspect that he still has a backhand. And there is another one, judging from the various voices of the people who are beneficial to King Jue and speak for King Jue, his subordinates feel that in the inland, King Jue should still have hidden strength. ”

The Emperor couldn't help but sneer. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and I can't figure out the opponent's routines, which is the main reason for being beaten.

The emperor issued a series of orders. He agreed to all the four articles that he had asked for in the previous inspection. Zhu Changjue is cunning, and there is a group of pirates standing behind him, no matter how you look at it, it is most appropriate for Kang Anbo to clean it up.

The emperor could only order Kang Anbo to do his best to delay and take into account Zhu Changjue's attack. If you can, quickly fight with the Japanese and put your forces into the war of rehabilitation.

Now that it has been determined that Zhu Changjue has taken Xiangshan and Zhoushan in Zhejiang as a stronghold, the deployment of troops is much simpler.

The emperor also ordered Xiangshan to Ningbo in the north, Jinhua in the west, and Taizhou in the south. If the other side has a backup or changes its strategy, the three coalition forces will change to a delaying strategy......

And when Cheng Ziyu arrived at this point, there were more and more questions in his mind.

Wrong.

Something must be wrong!

Zhu Changjue's means and ambitions, she is still very clear.

He has gone around in such a big circle and made so much effort, since he chose to do it, he must be somewhat sure. There are too many rebels in history, even those generals who have heavy troops and have a reputation in the world are easy to raise troops and difficult to conquer the world.

What about him Zhu Changjue? Why? He didn't have a decent regular army, and he wasn't a military prodigy. He doesn't have an army of millions waiting for him to splurge.

So, why is he?

By those pirates? Relying on the rabble recruited by Wan Mingyang from all walks of life? It's just ridiculous and generous!

What if he takes Zhoushan and Xiangshan? He relied on nothing more than a sneak attack. Just like the emperor's decision just now, when surrounded on all sides, what is the use of those territories he has laid? How can he struggle? The most he can do is retreat, right?

But isn't this still a waste of work?

This is Cheng Ziyu's first question.

Second, although King Zhe's reputation was ruined by him, there was still a prince in the capital. What is the use of this cooperation between him and Zhu Changan? How about embattled? What about boiling the emperor to death? The most unfortunate is the crown prince.

The throne still does not have their share.

Moreover, as soon as Zhu Changzhe is destroyed, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to choose the two of them to succeed him, so the emperor can only choose the crown prince.

So what are they doing? Paving the way for the crown prince's smooth succession to the throne and clearing the way? Didn't this help the prince make a wedding dress?

Zhu Changan is less than 500 miles away from Beijing. But so what? It is absolutely impossible for Bai Heng to rebel. No matter how much he tosses, no matter how much he wins Bai Heng's favor, Bai Heng will not really disobey the emperor and betray Da Zhou to help him seize the throne.

Even if Bai Heng died, it would be impossible for the Northwest Division to fall into the hands of a guy who had some military merits but only had less than a year of qualifications......

Cheng Ziyu knows that this is the crux of the matter.

The reason why she can win again and again in this life is nothing more than good calculations. At present, if she can calculate the cause and effect of this question, and can deduce the possibility of follow-up, then although she may not be able to win, she will definitely have a chance to struggle.

But if you can't think of it, then not only will it be finished, but I'm afraid that even the emperor will have to be replaced.

So...... The consequences are definitely much more tragic than in the previous life!

Cheng Ziyu was in a state of confusion, but someone had arrived.

The person who came was Tian Wanyi, who came in a hurry.

She had heard that the emperor had vomited blood.

Cheng Ziyu saw her panicked and stopped the imperial doctor who was boiling medicine outside and asked about the emperor's condition. She must have been nervous, and she walked briskly all the way, a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

"The mother came just in time. The emperor's appetite was not good, and the old man stewed a cup of tonic soup in addition to medicine. Later, I will bother you to serve it to the emperor, and the emperor may be able to drink two more sips. ”

Tian Wanyi responded again and again and sat down in a daze.

Cheng Ziyu is just strange, hasn't she even seen herself until this moment?

Or is Tian Wanyi deliberately turning a blind eye to herself?

This thought made Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but look at Tian Wanyi twice.

"Is Wanyi hot?" She asked suddenly.

Tian Wanyi didn't seem to expect someone to call her, but she was startled.

"County ...... Princess? The surprise on her face was even greater. You...... Why are you here? ”

Cheng Ziyu was suspicious in her heart, her face was not yet visible, and she deliberately deepened her eyes, stared at Tian Wanyi tightly, and showed a trace of coldness.

"I'm here to cooperate with the investigation."

"Oh, yes." The surprise on Tian Wanyi's face was replaced by a hint of relief. "It's me, I was negligent."

Cheng Ziyu didn't know if she was too careful, she just felt that Tian Wanyi was weird.

"Wanyi Niangniang hasn't answered my question yet!"

"Questions? What's the problem? "Tian Wanyi came back to her senses." My mind was on the emperor just now, and I didn't hear it clearly. The county lord said it again. ”

"What the mother said is, it seems that you really care about it. You are the lord of the first house, so you should call yourself 'Hongu'. But she has always referred to herself as "I".

"......" Tian Wanyi looked embarrassed, and then was replaced by a gentle smile. What did the county lord just ask? ”

This is...... Change the subject?

Cheng Ziyu didn't know why, she just thought Tian Wanyi was weird. She didn't answer immediately, but chose to look it up and down with a scrutiny.

I don't know if it's because of the pressure she gave, she always feels that Tian Wanyi is even more panicked.
