The movement of a few people to slip away was not hidden from King Ning, he immediately sent people to chase him, but they were still late, Yan Ling and the others said to leave, and now they had already escaped from Nanchang, and King Ning's people pounced.

"Your Highness, they have fled." The pursuers can only reply.

"Where did you flee?" Zhu Chenhao asked.

"Look in that direction, it should be Ganzhou." The subordinate thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Chenhao's face suddenly sank.

Ganzhou is Wang Shouren's base camp, he lived there for a long time when he suppressed bandits before, not to mention the long-term operation, and there are heavy guards, Wang Shouren fled to his lair, it will be difficult to deal with.

"Your Highness, it's okay." Liu Yangzheng looked like he was holding a wisdom bead, and gently waved the feather fan in his hand:

"What if Wang Shouren escapes? He doesn't have an order from the imperial court, he can't move the local army at all, and he won't hinder our plans in any way! ”

"However, according to the minister's opinion, the matter of raising troops really needs to speed up preparations, and there have been more and more rumors outside recently, and the ministers are afraid that if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that even the ministers in the court will not be able to suppress it, and it will be troublesome."

"It just so happened that the minister heard about His Majesty...... The puppet emperor is about to go south, isn't this a great opportunity? ”

The candlelight flickered, and his face seemed to be a little sinister.

The corners of Zhu Chenhao's mouth slowly hooked an arc, and he said softly: "Good." ”

……

After Wang Shouren fled, he did not immediately issue an order for the army to be assembled.

After all, King Ning has not rebelled yet, if he gathers the army in advance and exposes his hole cards, the other party will not rebel, and he has tens of thousands of troops in Ganzhou but has not made any moves, and it seems that he is the one who rebels.

So he ordered the cities of Jiangxi to hoard grain and grass and fortify the cities, but did not involve the army in the slightest.

However, in the eyes of King Ning, this is a matter of course - Wang Shouren and Sun Sui do not have the right to transfer troops, even if they escape, at most they will be in charge of administrative officials such as the prefect of the county there, and there is no imperial decree, if the commanders of the guard station dare to listen to Wang Shouren, they will not be cut down before the rebellious King Ning.

He was relieved to prepare for his big event.

The two giants of the province have all fled to Ganzhou, and many officials in Nanchang City have been bribed, which makes his actions more convenient.

Soon, he got the news - Emperor Zhengde's southern tour had arrived in Yangzhou, and after lingering in this land of fireworks for more than ten days, he finally left Yangzhou and continued to go south.

The time has come!

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, immediately ordered his palace guards to control the whole city of Nanchang, and then announced to the world, announcing that "the emperor's background is doubtful" and "subject to the secret edict of the queen mother", and officially set up troops.

At this time, the three people who didn't know that King Ning had raised troops were still deducing the war in the mansion.

"The target after King Ning raised his army must be Jiujiang!"

On the huge map, Yan Ling scolded Fang Xuan.

As an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, his vision is extremely vicious.

Hearing his words, Wang Shouren nodded slightly, while Sun Sui looked a little puzzled and couldn't help asking:

"Why? There are so many prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, how can you judge that he will definitely go to Jiujiang first? Could it be that King Ning will raise his army first and come to Ganzhou to fight a decisive battle with us first? ”

Yan Ling shook his head and said lightly:

"Because, to the north of the Jiujiang River, is the Yangtze River, and the ferries and boats are ready-made."

"Going down the river, it will only take a few days for him to see His Majesty."

When Sun Sui heard this, he was stunned, and even if he understood.

is different from the situation when Emperor Yongle raised his army, the reason why Emperor Yongle was able to capture Nanjing and make the world spread is because Zhu Di was already Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, and it was logical for him to ascend the throne, so everyone also stood by and watched.

But Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has no legal reason for inheritance, but it is still good for him to kill the emperor.

If he sets off a great chaos in the world, he can take advantage of the fire, otherwise even if there is no Wang Shouren and others, when the border army in the north goes south, it will be a matter of time before he finishes his calves.

King Ning is not a fool, relying on his meager family background, against a Ming who has not yet weakened significantly, he has no chance of winning, Zhu Houzhao is his only chance.

"Therefore, the focus of the battle is Jiujiang City!" Wang Shouren's eyes radiated a bright light, which was a burning battle intent.

"As long as you can defeat him under Jiujiang City, you will be able to curb King Ning's ambitions and avoid a catastrophe!"

At this time, an attendant happened to run from outside the room, and said as if the sky had fallen;

"My lord, three adults...... King Ning, rebel! “

The three looked at each other, and Wang Shouren immediately took out his edict:

"Let's go, gather troops!"

At this time, the news of King Ning's rebellion also went all the way to the east with the ships coming and going on the Yangtze River.

When the small number of courtiers traveling with the emperor heard the news, they were first shocked, then annoyed.

The other party openly denied the legitimacy of the emperor and falsely passed on the holy decree of the queen mother. If the emperor is a fake, then what are these courtiers?

However, Emperor Zhengde, who should have had the most sense of crisis and anger, laughed excitedly after learning the news of King Ning's rebellion.

The adventurous element in his body made him prefer the conquest of war to the quiet of travel.

He had already built a palace in Xuanfu and planned to stay there, but the Mongols seemed to be frightened by the great war, and did not dare to go south to herd horses, and he stayed in Xuanfu for a long time, and never waited for the invading enemy, so he returned to Beijing in a boring manner.

I didn't expect that just a trip to the south would encounter such a "good thing"!

He excitedly gave the order:

"Order the defenders near Nanzhi to assemble and go out with me to quell the rebellion of King Ning!"

……

Zhu Chenhao easily controlled Nanchang City, after all, this was his old nest and had been in business for a long time.

But when he began to expand his territory, he ran into obstacles.

Except for some small cities, he did not defeat any of those medium-sized cities and large cities, and he also lost his troops.

This is also normal, Zhu Chenhao's core main force, King Ning's guards, have never fought since Yongle Dingding Nanjing, not to mention the bandits and bandits who are coerced, and their combat effectiveness is all very stretched.

Sun Sui was killed in the original time and space, Wang Shouren lost contact, and he could also take advantage of the dragons to be caught off guard, but this time the two governors of Jiangxi Province were fine, and they also ordered the cities to prepare for war in advance.

Just when Zhu Chenhao hit a wall everywhere and hit a full head, Wang Shouren's side, the army was constantly gathering.

Ganzhou is his old nest, although the nearby army cannot be compared with the northern border army, but it also followed Wang Shouren to quell the rebellion of tens of thousands of bandits, this combat effectiveness and assembly ability is not a little stronger than the rebels.

In just a few days, Wang Shouren successfully gathered an army of 50,000 and immediately headed north.
