Wu Shen, the old abbot of Nanjing Bao'en Temple, was ambitious, and he and Ma Shiying had already formed a sworn friend.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, Wu Shen relied on his martial arts skills in Shaolin in the north and south, especially recently and practiced Yijin Dafa, intending to dominate the martial arts.

But the leader of the martial arts alliance is far from his ultimate goal, and he also wants to seek a political future, that is, to become the national teacher of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

This was planned by him and Ma Shiying a long time ago, and Ma Shiying secretly agreed to him.

But now Wu Shen's closed disciple Ma Luan died at the head of Chongzhen, and the bad news spread to Nanjing Bao'en Temple, and the old abbot was furious.

At this time, his retreat and cultivation had already ended, and he turned his enemies into friends and passed on the Yijin Dafa to Lu Qing, the helmsman of the Demon Sect.

Yi Jin Dafa successfully resolved the typhoid fever on Lu Qing's body, and through the I Ching Dafa, Lu Qing's skill has grown by two layers, and now his martial arts cultivation is at the same level as Wu Shen, and it is also the 8th layer of the True Qi Realm.

Lu Qing is grateful to Wu Shen, don't look at him as Wu Shen's registered disciple, he is several times closer than his own disciple, and he is very respectful to Wu Shen, even more than the eldest disciple Hun Sen.

Wu Shen was very happy, of course this was the result he wanted, no matter what kind of demon sect he was, as long as he supported him Wu Shen could achieve his great cause, he was willing to make friends.

Although he didn't dare to say this blatantly, he only did not say it, and there was a good reason, he was to save people, and he made friends with the Demon Sect to occupy the moral high ground of the monks, which was understandable in anyone's eyes.

Although his closed disciple Ma Luan is dead, one more Lu Qing is equivalent to one more arm, Lu Qing's ability is a hundred times stronger than Ma Luansheng, and Wu Shen's move is firmly linked to the Demon Sect.

Now that Ma Luan, a disciple of the closed door, has died in battle, the situation in Nanjing is precarious.

He, the future national teacher of the Southern Ming Dynasty, had to come forward.

Wu Shen took his eldest apprentice Hong Sen, as well as his named disciple, Lu Qing, the helmsman of the Hebei branch of the Demon Sect, and the baboon protector of the Hebei branch of the Demon Sect, to meet Ma Shiying together, threatening to avenge Ma Luan and settle accounts with Chongzhen.

Ma Shiying was overjoyed, and Ruan Dacheng took these people to the hall, sat down the guests, and someone came to offer tea, and the tea was put aside.

Ma Shiying was worried, and did not hide it at all, and explained the situation and worries in front of him.

Wu Shen smiled indifferently, "Master Ma doesn't have to be a soldier, the trip to Hangzhou is even more worrying, Lao Wei came to Nanjing this time, and he must fight with the faint monarch Chongzhen. On the battlefield, you can train a naval army, and it will not be a problem to hold Nanjing with the help of the Yangtze River, but as for dealing with Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, that is Lao Gao's business."

Seeing that the old monk was confident, all the eyes of everyone present turned to Wu Shen.

The old monk picked up the tea, took a shallow sip, slowly put it down, and continued: "In addition to the disciple Lu Qing, the old monk also invited a few heroes, including the abbot of Putuo Temple in Zhejiang, the old Zen master Tuotuo, who is known as the heavy earthquake in the western sky; There are also the 10,000-year-old ancient Buddha of Savage Island in the South China Sea, and the aggressive Hami Master; In addition, there is also Leng Hanxing, the leader of the Wushan faction, who is nicknamed Xingzi. These people are coming, and the faint monarch Chongzhen will definitely die."

"Master, it's all up to you." Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were overjoyed, and their confidence suddenly doubled......

Chongzhen sat in Yangzhou, and his three-way army took the important towns of Guazhou and Yizhen, Shatou Town and Jiangdu County in Jiangbei like lightning, Liu Zhaoji, Wang Zuntan and Han Hu, and took the Taizhou line down.

Liu Zeqing lost all his territory in Jiangbei and fled to Zhenjiang with the remnants of his army.

Chongzhen rectified the soldiers and horses, and collected a large number of prisoners, not counting Ma Bao's 30,000 soldiers and horses, Chongzhen had 100,000 horses in Yangzhou.

The next step is to take Zhenjiang and force into Nanjing.

But before crossing the river to fight, it is necessary to train the sailors. In addition, Ma Bao, Huang Degong, and Liu Liangzuo are still fighting in Hezhou and Chuzhou.

Liu Liangzuo is a rabble, and there are few famous generals under him, so Chongzhen naturally won't take it to heart.

Let Ma Bao deal with him, Chongzhen is very relieved.

But Chongzhen is very optimistic about this iron whip king Huang Chuangzi and is ready to give him a chance to surrender.

Historically, this person was loyal to Nanming

Geng, among the warlords of the four towns, this is the only warlord with patriotic thoughts, whether it is to the Ming court or the Southern Ming court, he is doing his best.

Searching for the memory of this body, there are still many heroic deeds of Huang Degong, Huang Degong was once a famous general of the Beijing battalion soldiers, when the eunuch Lu Jiude supervised the division, Huang Degong was brave with a pair of iron whips, forcing Li Zicheng's fifth battalion of the left to surrender, almost caught the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, captured the five horses, killed Wang Xingguo, made great achievements, and the tired officer did the post of deputy commander-in-chief.

In history, Chongzhen hanged himself, the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked the Yangtze River, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo all surrendered, and Huang Degong refused to surrender until he died in battle.

Throughout his life, although Huang Degong was listed as a warlord who supported the army and respected himself, and even had bad deeds, this was undoubtedly one of the clear stream figures of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Chongzhen ordered Li Yan and Liu Zhaoji to go to Hezhou in person to meet the world-famous Huang Chuangzi when they were training naval divisions in Yangzhou.

Similar to the private visit to Yangzhou Weifu, Chongzhen only brought Wang Chengen and Tang Wancai, Li Miniang, Gu Shunyi, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Moran and other Jinyi Wei masters to escort him, disguised himself as a literary son, and traveled privately in the image of a scholar.

Wang Chengen glued his beard and pretended to be Chongzhen's horse boy, the youngest Li Moran pretended to be a scholar, and the other four men and women were Chongzhen's accompanying servants.

Chongzhen, who was dressed in a long shirt and polite, left Yangzhou with six servants and came to Hezhou.

Hezhou, that is, Anhui Province and County in later generations, was first subordinated to Fengyang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, and later belonged to Nanzhili Province and directly subordinated to the jurisdiction of Nanjing.

Yangzhou City is more than 300 miles away from Hezhou, and if you take the Han Road, there are Chuzhou and Nanjing and other places in between, and Chongzhen chose the waterway this time.

The master and servant 7 people rented a flower boat, and in the name of going to Nanjing to catch the exam, they went upstream.

It is summer, and the Yangtze River flows backwards.

The green mountains and green waters on both sides of the river, sometimes turn into blue water, the scenery is picturesque, Chongzhen sometimes stands in the bow of the boat, sometimes sits in the cabin, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside, such as in the painting.

On the Yangtze River, you can see the scenes of Daming and Nanming training and preparing for war, and Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Zhenjiang are all training sailors.

Chongzhen, as a person rushing to take the exam, had memorized the customs clearance documents and personal identity information with fake and real customs clearance documents, so he successfully evaded the inspection of the officers and soldiers along the way, and arrived at the border of Hezhou a few days later.

Chongzhen entered Hezhou City and went straight to the Yamen of Huang Chuangzi's Jingnan Bohou Mansion.

Wang Chengen was not at ease, looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered: "Master, the old slave also knows that although Huang Chuangzi was a loyal minister before, he made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty by destroying thieves, but at this time and at that time. This is a martial artist, rough and belligerent, and brave. It doesn't matter if you listen to slander, or if you are deceived by others, after all, now he is protecting Zhu Yousong in Nanjing, and he must go to the Hou Mansion to guard against it."
