Since the official killing of officials and the rebellion on 26 November, today is the 13th day.

In thirteen days, King Ning's rebels were not surrounded and suppressed by a large number of officials and troops. Moreover, he used a trick to trap and kill a large number of officials such as the commander of the Jiangxi capital, the political envoy of Bu, and the imperial history of the right capital of Jiangxi.

In addition, after Zheng Yu, the governor of Jiangxi, broke through and ran away, the entire Jiangxi was already leaderless.

The prefects who were farther away, such as Ningguo Mansion and Anqing Mansion, had received an edict from the imperial court asking them to strengthen their precautions and stay with the city. However, more than ten small county towns near Nanchang, such as Xinjian County and Fengcheng County, were soon coerced and rebelled by the rebels.

Now that things have been done, there is no need to hide anything.

On the first day of December, King Ning proclaimed himself the emperor in Nanchang, and he and himself changed the name of Zhengde, and took Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng as the prime ministers, and found a traitor named Xu Ting to serve as the secretary of the military department, Xu Shidao served as the secretary of the ministry, and named the Poyang Lake thief who he had secretly contacted before as a general, claiming that there were 100,000 troops!

Of course, many people from Jiangnan have heads and faces, and everyone has some lofty titles, no matter what, it is also enjoyable to hear someone call a certain Shangshu first.

And after killing many court officials, Nanchang City was controlled by King Ning.

The common people don't care so much, the killing is in full swing outside, of course they hide in their own houses to avoid the disaster.

After taking Nanchang City, the high-spirited King Ning and his team will begin to plan the next step.

In the main hall of the palace, before the sand table, King Ning was ashamed, calling himself me, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, Nanchang and its surrounding counties have heard of my army, most of them have fallen to the wind, the little emperor is cruel and conceited, and he has lost the hearts of the people, and I have accepted his people's hearts!" I knew that the foundation of the imperial court had collapsed to this point, and I should have done it earlier, so that you would have been less troubled. ”

After saying this, the 'officials' of the Jiangnan gentry faction led by the three brothers of the Xu family were embarrassed and resentful.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a person stepped forward, it was Xu Shidao, "The minister has thought about it again and again, since Nanchang is determined, the minister has three strategies to dedicate to the emperor." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Chenhao's expression was exaggerated, and he waved his hand, "Aiqing, hurry up." ”

"Yes!" Xu Shidao turned to face everyone and arched his hand slightly, "I dare to ask you first, how does my emperor compare with Yan Wei back then?" ”

Liu Yangzheng's eyes were pale, and he squinted his eyes and shook his hand: "What do you mean?" Yan is cunning and treacherous, cruel and murderous, how can he ...... with Ning can be compared with the emperor, my emperor respects the teacher, has soup, and has martial arts. ”

Liu Xiang misunderstood, what he meant was that Yan Shun did not follow the will of Taizu back then, betrayed the will of the people of the world, and usurped power and seized the throne in the name of Jingnan, but Yan Shun had been in battle for a long time, and was a famous general at that time, but Rao was so, the battle of Jingyan was still fought for three years, and Yan Shun was always defeated by the imperial court, and finally took Nanjing directly to steal the artifact. Although the situation is different today, is the situation not a little similar today? At that time, the imperial court was in the south, and now the imperial court is in the north, both of which have more than a thousand miles from each other, although Yan Shun has a human face and a beast's heart, but he still has an elite Yan Wangfu guard, and he fought so hard......"

Li Shishi, the old man, has not spoken, but he is actually like a mirror in his heart, and he has already understood, "Your Majesty, Duke Xu is not ambitious, and now the enemy is strong and I am weak, so we need to break the situation as soon as possible." Presumably, the best policy that Xu Gong wants to say is to directly take the Beijing master, so that the world can be determined, and the sect and society can be determined. ”

"Not bad!" Xu Shidao affirmed heavily.

"But......" Zhu Chenhao hesitated himself, "The capital division is thousands of miles away from here......"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Shidao is a little crazy, "For more than 100 years in the Ming Dynasty, most of the prefectures and counties are corrupt officials, and they do not take it as their responsibility to defend the land, this is one of them."

Second, the emperor also said that today's court is full of demons and evils, many loyal ministers have been framed, and the people's hearts have been lost, so once the emperor's army arrives, not only will there be no resistance, but it will also strengthen the momentum of our army, stir up the whole world to rebel, and unite the righteous armies from all walks of life. It is necessary to know that the imperial court has not only lost the hearts of the people in Jiangxi! ”

Speaking of this, many people began to nod, after all, they are from a wealthy family, and what they said is very scoffing at first, but after a little explanation, they feel very right.

What is it?

This is far more than human knowledge!

"And three!"

This Xu Shidao's few words of kung fu have been in the limelight.

Zhu Chenhao was also surprised, there are still ones?

"Our army went all the way north to take the Beijing Division, which was a surprise and unprepared. And the morale is like a rainbow, and it can be won in one battle! After speaking, he wrapped his arms around his body and made a big salute, "This is the minister's policy, please make a decision!" ”

Zhu Chenhao hesitated, he was a little moved, but he didn't dare, he hadn't made such a big decision for so many years, so he subconsciously wanted to look at Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng.

Liu Yangzheng saw that Xu Shidao was so brilliant, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, Li Shishi was still as immobile as a mountain, and he also saw Zhu Chenhao's dilemma, so he spoke out to relieve the siege, "Your Majesty, Xu Gong's opinions are unique, why don't you listen to his middle and bottom strategies?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Chenhao also attaches more importance to this person now, "Aiqing, since you said it, then let's talk about the middle strategy and the next policy together." ”

Xu Shidao has a trace of untraceable disappointment, he entered Nanchang this time, but he was forced to be helpless, all along, the court has been doing bad things, and King Ning is doing the right thing, so he thinks his reputation is very good.

At least better than the strong, authoritarian, paranoid, and cruel Emperor Zhengde.

But at the same time, Jiangnan has gradually become rich over the years, the country's military equipment has gradually strengthened, and the territory has gradually expanded.

He suddenly wondered what would happen to him if he was Emperor Zhengde at this time?

This King Ning seems to be a little less decisive.

"Yes. The minister's middle policy is to capture Nanjing nearby, Nanjing is to stay in the capital, the day under the city, the north and south of the river are the emperor's treasury, Zhejiang has more Ningbo City, these years because of the prosperity of sea trade, countless silver money, but also can cut off the imperial court money and grain, so that it is greatly injured. However, the danger of the middle strategy is that the border army of the imperial court is brave and good at fighting, and once the reaction time is given, although Jiangnan is prosperous at that time, our army will sooner or later fall into a bitter battle.

The next strategy is to stay in Nanchang, and with the help of Jiancheng, it may be able to defend it for a few years, but when the imperial court transfers troops from all over the country, it will besiege Nanchang. Our army is a battle of trapped beasts, and the hearts of the people and the army will also collapse in an instant, irretrievable! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Chenhao became frightened again, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, "Yes, yes, the so-called soldiers are fast, and my ambition has never been to be a remote son of heaven in Nanchang, this territory must be developed." ”

Xu Shidao's mood was saved a little, "That being the case, that is the choice between the best strategy and the middle policy." The minister still admonished His Majesty, take the best policy directly, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the opportunity for victory lies in the surprise. ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yangzheng began, "The minister thinks that Nanjing should be taken, and he should bypass Anqing and take Nanjing as quickly as possible!" ”

"Bypassing Anqing?" Zhu Chenhao was confused again.

Anqing is the gateway to Nanjing.

Anqing is not keeping, even if Nanjing takes it, they are very tolerant of being cut off.

Xu Shidao was also shocked when he heard it, "No! Anqing is not down, Nanjing and Nanchang are separated by two places, and after a long time, our army will be divided into two places by the imperial court. ”

Liu Yangzheng insisted: "Nanjing is the capital of the Yangtze River, is the core of the south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing is under the city, our army can widely collect the hearts of the gentry, the foundation of the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River has been lost, at that time, the emperor sits on the land of the south of the Yangtze River, can enter the northern expedition, retreat can be based on the Yangtze River natural danger and defend, and then seize the wealth of northern Zhejiang, even if it drags on, he is not afraid." On the contrary, the Northern Expedition went all out and went straight to the Beijing Division, which was a big gamble with no way out, and what Xu Gong said was when it was smooth, what if it was blocked? Nanchang is a Xiongcheng, and Jingshi is not a Xiongcheng? Even if our army arrives at the city, what if it can't be attacked for a long time? By that time, won't our army be self-defeating? The way of the art of war, don't think about victory, think about defeat first! ”

Li Shishi still felt that what his 'old partner' said was more in line with his heart, and it was too risky to take the Beijing Division, so there could be no delay on the road.

And Yan Wei did it once, it was unprecedented, no one expected that they would do it a second time, and the fool could understand it.

This kind of tactic of using troops is extremely risky, which means that the weakness is extremely great, and it can be easily contained.

For example, if the army is alone, it is easy to be surrounded and cut off food, even if it is just dragged down, it is extremely dangerous.

Xu Shidao was anxious, "Is Liu Xiang afraid of taking risks?" If that were the case, there would not be such a righteous thing today! Isn't this a risk? With the people's wealth of one province and one place in Jiangxi, against more than ten provinces of the imperial court, isn't this a risk? This is a risky action, if you don't fight, how can you win? ”

"That's it!" Zhu Chenhao saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, and after being the 'lord' for many years, he still had the ability to control the field, "Duke Xu, you don't have to worry. What Mr. Liu said is also reasonable, and it is somewhat safe, besides, you are all Jiangnan gentry, and there is your ancestral house and ancestral grave. ”

The other gentry were happy to hear this, and they responded one after another, "The emperor is benevolent and virtuous, and he is worthy of his name." ”

Xu Shidao was so angry that his face turned pale, since he wanted the world, how could he set his sights on Jiangnan?

But it seems that his ploy is no longer allowed.

After him, several Jiangnan gentry expressed their support for Liu Yangzheng's proposal.

They have to go back,

If you go back one day, you will be able to get your family wealth back one day sooner, and more importantly, the ancestral grave cannot be dug up!

Zhu Chenhao saw the encouragement and affirmation in Li Shishi's eyes, and then announced with determination, "I have made up my mind, from today onwards, I will personally lead the boat down, attack Anqing first, and then take Nanjing!" Twenty days later, I will pay tribute to the heavens in Nanjing! I hope you will put aside your suspicions, help each other, achieve this great event, and share the glory! ”

"Yes!!"

Above the main hall, the roar soared!

However, their excitement did not last long, and before the people dispersed, there were already military reports outside.

Of course, Zhu Chenhao put on a diligent appearance, and convened the main personnel to discuss, "Everyone Aiqing, the former army came to report, Jingyu Marquis Zhou Shangwen reorganized his troops in Zhenjiang, and all the guards led by him were elite guards, how should this be good?" ”
