The situation in Jiangxi is changing day by day.

The day before, it was still rumored that King Ning's soldiers and horses had broken through Anqing, and they were about to attack Nanjing along the river, and there were even rumors that the soldiers and civilians of Nanjing had been waiting for King Ning to go and open the city gate to welcome the "Wang Shi".

But the next day, there were rumors that Wang Shouren, who used soldiers like a god in southern Gansu, had mobilized troops and horses to take Nanchang City, King Ning's old nest.

No matter how much the people in other places hate King Ning's rebellion, at least the people on the ground in Jiangxi scolded King Ning for rebelling and bringing disaster to themselves, but at the same time they expected him to really ascend the throne and become the emperor......

This is the "local complex" of the Chinese people, who feel that if they have an emperor in their territory, it will inevitably bring prosperity and tranquility to the local area in the future.

On the line from Jiujiang Mansion to Wuchang Mansion, because of the fear that showing hostility would attract the attack of King Ning's soldiers and horses, there was no checkpoint in this section of the river, and the defense center of Huguang was in Wuchang Mansion and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and Han River.

In this way, it was convenient for Zhu Hao and his party, when Zhu Hao led the men and horses to Jiujiang Mansion in Jiangxi Province and landed, people fleeing could be seen everywhere.

The people did not want to be affected by King Ning's rebellion, so they could only flee Jiangxi with their families, and most of them migrated to the west, that is, in the direction of Huguang.

It is important to know that at this time, there are only about two months left before the autumn harvest, and such a large-scale wave of refugees will cause great damage to the livelihood of the local people.

……

……

Zhu Hao, Lu Song, and Yu San entered the Jiujiang boundary and parted ways.

Zhu Hao found a place by the Chihu Lake to wait for news, while Lu Song and Yu San took more than a dozen water ghosts hired and invited to Poyang Lake to conduct a "treasure exploration" activity.

Now I heard that it was a treasure hunt, and I paid a lot of commissions in advance, even if I felt that Jiangxi was a dangerous place, I still couldn't stand the greed in my heart to go on the road.

Rich can make ghosts grind, and there will be brave men under heavy rewards.

It's mid-July.

At this time, there are only a few days left before the rebellion of King Ning in history is quelled.

Zhu Hao waited for news in Ruichang County.

It is less than a hundred miles away from the ground of Huguang, after King Ning captured Jiujiang Mansion, he did not attack Ruichang County to the west, but directly took the river and attacked Anqing City, so that the fleeing people can be seen everywhere around Ruichang, and it has also become a transit station for the people to enter the ground of Huguang.

However, in this era, there is no way out, and it is not easy to enter the provinces by fleeing.

Huguang has long arranged for people to conduct checks at various checkpoints, either there are officials, road guides, or rich convoys to do some work when they migrate, otherwise the fleeing people can only find a way to cross the state and province from some places where there are no roads in the deep mountains and old forests, and another way is to temporarily hide in the mountains and wait for the war to end.

After Zhu Hao settled down, Lu Song on the other side occasionally asked people to bring back news, but because it was not an official channel, the news lagged behind.

According to Zhu Hao's understanding of history, Zhu Chenhao was on July 15, and found that he could not attack Anqing for a long time, and Nanchang City in the backyard was besieged by Wang Shouren, so he transferred troops back to help, and the two sides had a fierce battle in Poyang Lake, and the decisive battle in history was on July 25 and 26.

However, because of Zhu Hao's early warning, the rebellion against the soldiers and horses was faster, and Wang Shouren arrived in Nanchang City with his troops in early July, nearly half a month earlier than in history.

King Ning's army attacked Anqing still not well, because Wang Shouren's troops were strong, so that the time for King Ning to return to help was also advanced to about the tenth day of July, which brought a result...... The decisive battle is at least five or six days in advance.

Zhu Hao is not in the battle situation, and can only wait for the result in the rear.

In the middle and late stages of King Ning's rebellion, Jiujiang Mansion and other places had actually been stripped out, but Zhu Hao did not go deep into the hinterland of Jiangxi to command.

The Huguang Township Examination was not affected by this rebellion, and the examination will officially start on the ninth day of August, which means that Zhu Hao must leave for Wuchang Mansion at the end of July to rush back to Wuchang Mansion to participate in the Township Examination.

……

……

July 18.

King Ning's return convoy has penetrated deep into Poyang Lake.

At this time, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses were already waiting at the mouth of the Ganjiang River, and the situation that King Ning was looking forward to and the Nanchang defenders should join forces to break the rebellion did not appear, because even if Nanchang City had not been captured by Wang Shouren at this time, King Ning's remaining soldiers and horses were cowardly and did not dare to go out of the city to confront Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses.

Wang Shouren only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to contain them outside Nanchang City, and then the main force went down the Gan River and transferred to the front line of Poyang Lake to meet the attack, and the battle was about to break out.

That night, there was a troop transport ship in the rear of King Ning's army.

Princess Ning finished a day of drifting, and after the ship docked, she wanted to go ashore and rest, but was told by the maid that someone had sent a letter.

King Ning went out to fight different from others, he took his wife and children with him, nominally after leading the troops to capture Nanjing, he directly proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, and he didn't need to go home to pick up his family, he could directly be enthroned and announced to the world.

In fact, the main reason is that he is afraid of a fire in the backyard, so he is more at ease to take his family with him, and he does not have to worry about his family being captured as hostages by the court at any time, which will tie his strategy.

The biggest problem in doing so is to divide a part of the men and horses to protect these relatives who have no combat effectiveness.

These ships transporting family members basically followed behind the army, and they fell far behind when they went to Anqing, and now they are still at the rear of the fleet when they return to help.

This gave Zhu Hao the opportunity to report the news.

"Who's the letter?"

Princess Ning was a little curious.

At this time, can communication still work?

Could it be that King Ning missed her too much on the front line and wrote a letter to her?

The maid handed it over and said, "It was received by the master of the dragon troupe when he docked, and he asked him to send it to the guard, and then the guard handed it over, saying that it was written by an old man, the princess." ”

At this time, although there were not many guards around Princess Ning, the basic protection was still there, and the army was dispatched, and the small number of imperial soldiers and horses remaining in the local area did not dare to attack the rear of King Ning's army, and the defense was relatively lax, so there was also a communication opportunity.

Zhu Hao asked Lu Song to find the person who corresponded with him, who had previously sung for Zhu Hao in Anlu, and later sold the troupe in place of Zhu Hao to the master of the dragon class in King Ning's Mansion.

The person who is the head of the dragon class ...... Although he didn't have much righteousness, fortunately, he saw that the money was open, and Zhu Hao had enough money, and he could get things done.

Coupled with the letter sent, there is no additional meaning at all from the literal side, it is clear that an old man sent a letter like a "love poem" out of missing, and Princess Ning has a deep friendship with the local scholars in Nanchang, and King Ning even used his wife's reputation of cherishing and loving talents to recruit a large group of crazy bees and butterflies to work for him.

King Ning has always used Lou Suzhen as a chess piece, and in the eyes of outsiders, this letter may be a love letter written by an arrogant scholar.

"This ......"

After Lou Suzhen opened the letter, she immediately recognized that it was Tang Yin's handwriting, and she immediately turned her head sideways and asked, "Xinghua, where is the person?" ”

The maid named Xinghua replied: "The person who came did not get on the boat, and even the master of the dragon class was not qualified to get on the boat, but only sent such a letter." ”

This made Lou Suzhen depressed.

The letter was in his hand, and he knew that it was written by Tang Yin, but the content was ...... But it was a little foggy, and she looked sad, but now although she was nervous, it was not to the point of heartbreak in the poem, but the more she read it, the more confused she felt...... It's like a melody hidden in my heart, and even the rhyme is about to come out.

A poem from the future, written by herself, naturally feels familiar.

"How's the front line?"

Lou Suzhen carefully read the letter several times and felt Tang Yin's affection for herself, although there was a strong concern between the lines, but it was not to the point of life and death.

It hasn't happened yet, and I can't understand that desperate state of mind.

Xinghua said: "Just came the news, saying that Wang Zhongcheng's soldiers and horses have been arrayed in Huangjiadu at the mouth of the Ganjiang River. ”

Lou Suzhen said anxiously: "That Wang Zhongcheng is like a god with soldiers, this time the prince has an incident, he reacted quickly, he should have expected that there would be a current dynasty." If he is fully prepared, then the prince will lead the troops forward, which is tantamount to throwing himself into a net...... If the army is defeated, what is the good thing? ”

Even if Lou Suzhen no longer supports her husband's rebellion, but now that it has happened, there is no turning back from the bow, she naturally still hopes that her husband can win.

"If you can defeat Wang Zhongcheng, it will be easy to capture Anqing......"

At this time, Lou Suzhen had already understood the entire battle situation.

The biggest trouble faced by her husband is not Anqing, but this Wang Shouren.

Defeated Wang Shouren and waited for the people and horses of the court to quell the rebellion, maybe it would be in the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, how much strength did the emperor's soldiers and horses have...... It is not important, the important thing is that by that time, King Ning is likely to have captured Nanjing, forming a situation where the north and south divide the river and rule, and the court will fight against each other, and it is not certain who will die in the end.

Xinghua said: "Niangniang, don't worry, we have hundreds of thousands of troops, and that Wang Zhongcheng doesn't have many soldiers and horses." ”

"You don't understand."

Lou Suzhen wanted to get off the boat and go to the shore camp to rest.

But now I feel uneasy, so I can only stay on the ship for the time being.

Sleepless nights.

From time to time she went to the deck to look at the soldiers patrolling the shore and the condition in the lake, until dawn when suddenly there was a fire in the distance.

"Mother, on the big lake, it seems to be on fire!"

The maid exclaimed in fright.

Lou Suzhen hurriedly asked people to set up a relatively high platform on the shore, and stood up to look at it in person, only to see a line of eight-character brains in front of him, the flames were soaring, and there was a tendency to burn the company camp, and then a series of military reports came, and Lou Suzhen's heart was half cold.

As expected, King Ning was defeated.

In terms of military ability, King Ning and Wang Shouren are not in the same order of magnitude at all, even if the number of soldiers and horses occupies an absolute advantage, but because it is a siege of Anqing, he hurriedly returned to the army, and the army is disheartened......

An encounter was first frustrated, and then attacked by Wang Shouren......

After a day and a night, King Ning's troops were basically dispersed, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses killed and drowned in this battle alone, and countless deserters.

Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses had already covered up to the north at this time, advancing by land and water.

Princess Ning was surrounded by guards, and at the moment she seemed to have no choice but to escape.
