Chapter 219: Take a Risk
Seeing that the large army had arrived at Jiangkou and Nanjing City was in front of him, Zhao Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
finally fulfilled his mission and brought King Jin back to the capital.
Thinking of what happened along the way, Zhao Mian only felt like he was in a dream.
He traveled day and night and rushed to Taiyuan, but the king of Jin also got the news, and directly pulled the flag and rebelled.
Of course, the king of Jin himself did not shout like this, but said that there were traitors in the court, and the relationship between the father and son of the heavenly family was separated, and he was wronged.
King Jin said so, and many of the soldiers and horses of the three guards followed in a daze.
The three guards and horses of the Jin Wangfu were taken out of the camp by Zhu Li and went straight to Xi'an.
Zhu Li's small abacus is very good, he is the closest to the king of Qin, if he can swallow the three guards of the king of Qin before the arrival of the imperial army, the strength of the army will be exaggerated to 100,000.
At that time, he was free to advance and retreat, and even if he lost the battle, he could run to the grassland.
But who would have expected that Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, received Zhu Yuanzhang's secret decree early and did a lot of work, and the generals of the border army were all notified by him to be in place.
If the king of Jin shows signs of raising troops, he immediately leads his troops to Taiyuan.
Therefore, Zhu Li's army only walked more than a dozen miles before it was stopped.
The three guards of the Jin Wangfu are not the same as those of the Yan Wangfu, although the King of Jin is also the King of Sai, and the thirty leading troops are obviously inferior to Zhu Di.
Therefore, most of the three guards under him are based on Fu Youde and others, and the real strength is like that.
What's more, not all of these people wanted to follow the King of Jin to rebel, but more of them were just encouraged by Zhu Li's words at that time, and as soon as their brains were hot, they followed.
Now that I calm down and think about it, I don't want to rebel, but I was coerced away in the army.
really waited for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to arrive, and these soldiers and horses of the three guards quickly messed up by themselves.
It's okay to shout slogans, but if you really want to fight against the court, most people are not happy.
Moreover, there are many people in the three guards of the King of Jin who are fellow villagers with the border army, and the local voices here are shouting for a while, only punishing the head of the evil, and not killing the attached ones.
Those who were unwilling to rebel naturally moved their hearts and put down their weapons one after another.
Speaking of which. This is also related to the image of King Jin himself, if he really has a good reputation, I am afraid that many soldiers and horses of the three guards will really feel that he has been slandered by traitors.
But since the king of Jin was named Taiyuan, he can't say that he has done all kinds of evil, but he has also done a lot of bad things.
Anyone who hears Zhu Li say that he was wronged will mumble in his heart.
In this way, the so-called rebellion of King Jin became a farce, and it was eliminated after only three days.
Such a fantastic solution was something that Zhao Mian couldn't have imagined before he came to Taiyuan.
Originally, he was worried and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give him 3,000 soldiers and horses, not because he was afraid that King Jin would rebel and cause chaos.
But who would have thought that King Jin would be so vulnerable.
Zhao Mian was a little worried about whether he would be attacked on the road after holding King Jin, but in the end he still had to admit that he had thought too much.
Thousands of cavalry are not joking, there are these people around themselves and others, even if some people want to attack, they don't have the guts, let alone the ability.
Jiang Zheng still had a serious face, for him, as long as the King of Jin had not been escorted into Beijing and into the prison of the Criminal Department, the matter would not be over.
Although he performed well in the handling of King Jin's rebellion, it is estimated that he can add a lot of points in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
But the previous mistakes were too big, and Jiang Zhen can't figure it out now, what will Zhu Yuanzhang do with himself.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from someone in the flotilla, and the fifth ship of the flotilla had broken a large hole and was about to sink.
Zhao Mian suddenly changed color, and really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Originally, how good it was to be safe and steady along the way, Zhao Mian had to think nonsense, now it's okay, something really happened!
Jiang Zhen stared at the bottom of the water and asked everyone to be careful, although he couldn't see anything under the water at night, Jiang Zheng's keen sense of smell as the head of the spy made him guess that this was definitely not an accident.
I'm afraid there are 'water ghosts' in the river.
This water ghost is not another water ghost, it is talking about those who specialize in scuttling boats underwater.
Yang Jing stood at the bow of the boat, kept giving orders, threw ropes into the water surface of the sunken ship, and released some of the boats into the water, ready to save people.
When all the chaos was over, Jiang Zhen took Yang Jing and Zhao Mian to the cabin and whispered.
After entering the cabin, Yang Jing and Zhao Mian saluted Jiang Zhen from the bottom of their hearts and said with admiration.
"Thanks to the commander this time, if not, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat good fruit."
Before boarding the ship this time, Jiang Zhen pulled Zhao Mian and the two to discuss, and unified the voice to the outside world, saying that the King of Jin was on the fifth ship, but in fact, the King of Jin was arranged on the third ship.
The three of them knew about it, and the King of Jin was personally arranged by Jiang Zhen to get on the third ship.
Jiang Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was considered to be dangerous, it seems that King Jin really has a lot of people in his hands, otherwise no one would want to take risks and attack the fleet at this time.
But then, what Jiang Zhen said was not a good thing.
"There are indeed internal ghosts among our people, obviously the boarding plan announced before boarding the ship, in just two hours, the enemy can accurately scuttle the ship where the King of Jin is located that we claim to the outside world."
"It's too well informed!"
Yang Jing's face was full of anger, this kind of thing is to slap them in the face, if it was at the gate of the capital, the king of Jin was murdered like this.
Then will they go out of Beijing to inspect places in the future?
With prisoners, who would dare to escort them back to Beijing?
Zhao Mian opened his mouth to assert.
"This person must be in the Heavenly Mansion, and his status is not low, otherwise he would not have the ability to arrange so many people here and scuttle the boat."
After Yang Jing calmed down, she asked hesitantly.
"Could this have something to do with Cao Guogong?"
Yang Jing's suspicions are not unreasonable, Cao Guogong is training around here, if there is a problem with the fleet, the probability of him attacking is not small.
Jiang Zhen shook his head, feeling that Yang Jing was afraid that she was not stupid.
Cao Guogong is a hardcore Donggong party, His Majesty wants to investigate the case of the prince's death, Cao Guogong can't cheer, how can he help scuttle the boat?
As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, she reacted.
It is unlikely that Cao Guogong did this, but I am afraid that someone has the intention to make them think so.
Zhao Mian looked very open and comforted Yang Jing.
"As long as we report this matter to the imperial court as it is, Your Majesty will naturally find out everything."
Jiang Xuan nodded on the side, there was something indescribably strange in his heart now, this kind of technique was too similar.
It seems that King Xiao Ming's death in a boat was also such a routine, who did this in the first place?
