Jinling, as the center of Jiangnan, is a very important city.

The area around Jinling City, which is an extremely rich place, is known as the source of wealth of the Great Song Dynasty.

There, is where Zhao Lin plans to move the capital.

After all, Yashan City was only a small seaside city, a temporary refuge place for the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and could not be used as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.

However, the officials sent to Jinling by the Ministry of Officials were driven back by the commanders of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

They had already appointed their own officials, so why did the imperial court appoint officials?

"Bastard things, I haven't seen them contribute at the time of national disaster, one by one they are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they look at the wind and descend,"

Zhao Lin slapped his palm on Long Yi's armrest, his eyes were sharp, "It's good now, it's just wishful thinking to establish a 'country within a country' under my nose." ”

Feeling the emperor's anger, the military department Shangshu hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the four people who control the four towns in Jiangnan are not ordinary people, the strength of each of their towns is more than 100,000, and the total number of troops in the four towns exceeds 400,000. ”

"Now that the imperial court is only a little stable, it is in the ascendant, and to deal with the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, we can only use pacification methods, and we must not conflict with them. ”

The military department Shangshu spoke earnestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the four towns in Jiangnan, please think twice. ”

"Such warlords who have brought disaster to the country and the people must be eradicated, but they must not be rushed. ”

"At this time, you should take it slowly, otherwise it will definitely lead to catastrophe. ”

The other courtiers also admonished one after another.

That's an army of 400,000!

Previously, Dian Wei was able to lead 300 Tiger Ben Guards to defeat 350,000 coalition troops.

In the eyes of the courtiers, it was already a miracle.

This miracle cannot be staged a second time.

However, Zhao Lin on the throne disagreed, and said coldly: "Although the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River have a lot of troops, they are just a group of rabble. I have made up my mind, I must eradicate these four tumors!"

"Immediately declare the decree, let them all come to this court in person to meet me, and hand over the military power, otherwise, I will send a large army to sweep them all away!"

Jinling City.

The four warlords of the "Four Towns in the South of the Yangtze River" gathered in the drunken immortal building in the city.

They hugged left and right in the drunken fairy building, so unhappy.

Before that, they had all received Zhao Lin's holy decree.

However, none of them took Zhao Lin seriously.

"Haha, this little emperor is really ridiculous, he actually wants us to take the initiative to hand over the military power and submit to him, he really treats himself as a green onion, can he ride on our heads?"

In the Drunken Immortal Building, a big man with a beard on his face laughed loudly, he was one of the commanders of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Gao Jie.

"Shame on the face. ”

Another middle-aged man wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, he also sneered, feeling that Zhao Lin was stupid and ignorant, "It's just a little doll that stinks and hasn't dried up, why bother with him, he thinks that if he has the support of a great grandmaster and a strong man, he can be invincible in the world, it's really a joke." ”

This person is also one of the commanders of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, named Li Shizhong.

In addition to Gao Jie and Li Shizhong, there were two burly figures sitting opposite them, obviously both of whom were from the military.

They are Leng Feng and Shen Liangyu, both of whom belong to the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

These people, like Xue Mang, all started during the war in the Great Song Dynasty, but they are still inferior to Xue Mang.

After all, Xue Mang achieved the position of a general and controlled the government of the Great Song Dynasty, but they could only divide the local government and become a warlord.

"He has the help of the Great Grandmaster, and we also have the help of the Great Grandmaster, and we have the support of the entire martial arts sect. ”

The corners of Leng Feng's mouth set off a sneering arc, and immediately his gaze turned to a gray-robed figure not far behind him, and his eyes immediately became very respectful, "Sect Master Nie, what do you think of this matter?"

At the same time, the eyes of the other three also fell on this gray-robed figure.

Nine Shadows Sect Master, Nie Yuanlou!

This person is their backstage!

The reason why they dared to argue with the imperial court and dare to disobey Zhao Lin was because of the support of the sect master of the Nine Shadows Sect!

The Nine Shadows Sect supports them.

And they allowed the Nine Shadows Sect to expand and develop in their own territory, recruit disciples, and cultivate evil laws.

The Nine Shadows Sect was originally a demonic sect, and it was a notorious existence in the whole world, and later fell to the land south of the Yangtze River.

When the Great Song Dynasty was strong, of course it would not do anything.

However, taking advantage of the decline of the Great Song Dynasty, the Nine Shadows Sect took the opportunity to expand aggressively.

At the beginning, they sent people to support Xue Mang's usurpation, and the latter promised that if the usurpation was successful, they would establish the Nine Shadows Sect as the state religion and Nie Yuanlou as the national teacher.

Unexpectedly, Xue Mang's usurpation failed.

Even the elders of their Nine Shadows Sect were killed.

Now, the Nine Shadows Sect has turned to support the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, occupying the richest part of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

The two collude with each other.

"This little emperor is too arrogant. ”

Nie Yuanlou's expression was gloomy, and his temperament was cold, "His existence is a threat to my Nine Shadows Sect. ”

"What is the Sect Master going to do?"

The commanders of the four towns all looked at Nie Yuanlou with a slight gaze.

"Kill him, of course. ”

Nie Yuanlou's eyes were shining.

Hearing this, the commanders of the four towns all shrank their eyes.

"The little emperor has the protection of the great grandmaster by his side, and the sect leader is sure that he can kill him?"

Gao Jie and the others asked with solemn expressions.

"Don't worry, even if there is a great grandmaster, this seat is still sure that he can assassinate the little emperor, you don't have to worry, just be bold and go against the imperial court. ”

Nie Yuanlou's eyes were indifferent.

"With Sect Leader Nie's words, then what else do we have to be afraid of. ”

The commanders of the four towns had smiles on their faces, and this was what they wanted.

"I'll go back immediately, behead the eunuch sent by the little emperor to announce the decree, and raise troops to kill him!"

After that, the commanders of the four towns all left their seats in a hurry.

And that Nie Yuanlou, after a flash of killing intent flashed in his eyes, he also disappeared into this drunken immortal building.

......

The news of the rebellion in the four towns soon reached the palace.

The four generals Gao Jie, Li Shizhong, Leng Feng, and Shen Liangyu proclaimed themselves kings, held high the banner of rebellion, and led them south, wanting to be detrimental to the imperial court.

Gao Jie proclaimed himself the king of Zhennan.

Li Shizhong proclaimed himself the king of Pingnan.

Leng Feng proclaimed himself the king of Pingdong.

Shen Liangyu proclaimed himself the king of Jingnan.

For a time, there was an uproar in the court.

Baiguan originally disapproved of Zhao Lin's use of thunderous means to suppress the "Four Towns in the South of the Yangtze River", but now, it really caused a backlash.

Now that the 400,000 rebels are heading south, the situation has become extremely tense in an instant!

The ministers were terrified.

But Zhao Lin didn't panic at all.

"General Dian, how is the Tiger Guard's training?"

His gaze fell on Dian Wei's body.

These days, Dian Wei has been training the Tiger Ben Guards and expanding the number of Tiger Ben Guards, and Zhao Lin has not been stingy, and has thrown money into it.

By now, some results should have been achieved.
