Chapter 129 Different Hearts

Two days later, the boat sailed to the heart of the Ganjiang River outside Ji'an City. Wang Shouren, Lei Ji and Gao Rui in casual clothes were exhausted. They will. Gao Rui raised his voice and shouted, "Open the gate quickly!" Admiral Shouren is here!"

The soldiers defending the city saw it and shouted from afar, "Nonsense, which governor are you? How dare you pretend to be Grandpa Wang's name!"

As soon as Lei Ji saw it, he immediately unfolded and held up the umbrella cover and shouted, "See? Go and inform the Wu magistrate and kill your head later!"

Some soldiers saw Wang Shouren's brocade umbrella cover, shouted in surprise and said, "Oh! It's really Wang Dudu, really Grandpa Wang who suppressed bandits!" So a group of soldiers cheered.

Lei Ji turned around and said, "Captain, I'm convinced of you." Wang Shouren also laughed happily when he heard this. ......

Wang Shouren, who put on his official uniform again, sat upright. Wu Wending, the magistrate, hurriedly knelt down and said, "The governor was shocked. The lower official greeted me late, please forgive me.

Wang Shouren said calmly, " Shi Tai, don't be polite. Please back the screen. I have something important to discuss with you.

Wu Wen ordered to retreat left and right, leaving only a few people left in the house, including Wang Shouren, Lei Ji and Gao Rui. Wang Shouren said, "Since Shi Tai has heard about the conspiracy of King Ning, how can you deal with yourself?"

Wu Wending brushed his beard and said, "Why should the governor doubt Wu's entry and exit? The king of Ning was in turmoil and was rebellious. As long as the governor orders, Wu is willing to rush into battle with the governor and go through fire and water.

Wang Shouren said, "Okay! Shi Tai is indeed loyal and righteous. Let me ask you, is the Ji'an treasury full?

Wu Wending said, "The treasury is enriched and can be used by 20,000 soldiers for one year."

Wang Shouren asked, "How many boats are there on the Ganjiang River near Ji'an?" Can there be craftsmen who can build ships in the city?

Wu Wending said: "Since the elimination of bandits in southern Jiangxi, business travelers have gathered around Ji'an, with no more than 100 large merchant ships and countless small ships. There are many craftsmen in the city. With a little modification of these ships, they can become warships.

Wang Shouren said happily, "That's great. Now it seems that I don't have to go back to Ganzhou, and Ji'an Prefecture can become the base of King Qin in the north.

Wu Wending said, "Jian Shimin all obeyed the governor's dispatch and went north to fight against rebellion. Please ask the governor to make the specific arrangements.

Wang Shouren said, "I will tell you a few things now. Please do it as soon as possible. First, use my flag token to recruit the king's division in Ganzhou, Fuzhou, Linjiang, Yuanzhou, Ruizhou and other state governments, and make all departments quickly go to Zhangshu Town, Qingjiang County, Linjiang Prefecture to meet, and then go north to fight for thieves together. Second, build weapons, repair warships, and prepare food and salaries. Third, invite the court officials who recuperate in the countryside of Ji'an Prefecture one by one, such as Wang Maozhong, Wu Xiru, Zou Shouyi and others. We should unite with the court officials in the township and vow to be the king of Qin. Do you understand?"

Wu Wending said, "The subordinate must handle it as soon as possible. Please rest assured."

Wang Shouren said, "There is another small matter. May I ask: Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, the counselors of King Ning, are from Ji'an. Are their families still in the local area?"

Wu Wending said, "It's still local."

Wang Shouren said, "God help me too!" Please send someone to capture Li Shishi's three sons here as soon as possible. I will arrange the following things. Secondly, take care of Liu Yangzheng's mother, but take good care of her with courtesy. In addition, find more than a dozen loyal and reliable vassals or family members for me to serve as messengers.

Wu Wending asked strangely, "The governor, why do you favor the other?"

Wang Shouren said, " Shi Tai doesn't need to ask more now. Go and handle it quickly."

Wu Wending said, "I obey the order." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wang Shouren said to Lei Ji beside him, "Start writing official documents for me."

Lei Ji unfolded the pen and paper. Wang Shouren read: "The Ministry of War's note: In order to prevent chaos, Xu Tai and Qi Yong led 40,000 border troops from Fengyang land road to Nanchang. Liu Hui and Gui Yong led 40,000 Beijing border officers from Xuzhou and Huai'an water and land to attack Nanchang. Wang Shouren, admiral of Southern Jiangxi led 20,000 troops, Guangdong Admiral Yang Dan led 80,000 troops, and Huguang Governor Qin Jin After leading 60,000 troops, they separated from the station and attacked Nanchang at the moment. Because King Ning's subordinates have many internal responders, they must wait for him to leave Nanchang City and invite them to attack at the scheduled place as planned.

Lei Ji said, "When did the governor come so many officers and soldiers? How can you know the humble position from ignorance?

Wang Shouren said indifferently, "One sentence: hold back King Ning and disturb his army. One day after the king of Ning sent troops, he would cause less damage to one place, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River could suffer less as a knife soldier. Have you finished writing it?"

Lei Ji said, "It's done, Governor."

Wang Shouren said, "Gao Rui, go quickly to the government office of Wu Zhifu to select ten yamen who can walk. As written in this document, assign them to the designated places in Jiangxi to meet the 'officials and soldiers' who come to fight for thieves. Don't say anything else, do you understand?"

Gao Rui said, "I will understand." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wang Shouren sighed and said to Lei Ji, "Zhizhou, don't forget to remind me that these messengers will be good, because... they may not be able to come back."

Lei Ji said with understanding, "In order to save the world, we have to give up these servants."

In the afternoon, a team named Zhang Sanshang escorted Li Shishi's three sons, Li Rong, Li Hua and Li Gui to the magistrate's office. He said to Li Rong and three others, "Squat there honestly and listen to the magistrate's interrogation. I'll report it first." After saying that, go out the door. There were two yamen in the room looking at them.

Li Rong and others around 30 squatted on the ground helplessly, and the door of the room was half open. Suddenly, an officer (Gao Rui) in the corridor outside the door greeted ten servars and said, "As ordered by Governor Wang, ten fast-footed servants were sent to the designated place to welcome all the armies that came to Jiangxi to eliminate the rebels of King Ning. Official documents and letters are on you. This is the only letter. You must keep it. OK. There is a reward after coming back. Do you understand? You two went to Wanbu Town, Anyi County to welcome Lord Chen Jin from Huguang; you two went to Jinjiang Town, Wannian County to welcome General Liu Hui from Xu and Huai; you two went to Zhangling Town, Duchang County to welcome General Xu Tai from Fengyang..."

"Little understands." The servists agreed.

"Let's go." The officer gave the order. The government officials left in a hurry.

At this time, Zhang Sanshi, the head of the class, came in and greeted the officer who passed by. Zhang Sanshi said to the other two yamen: "Your Majesty and Wang Dudu are discussing emergency military affairs. They don't have time to try these three guys. They order them to behead them on the execution ground in Hedong and come back with the left ear as evidence. Let's act now."

The three Li Rong brothers were so scared that they trembling. The other two servants dragged Li Rong and three others from the ground and shouted, "Let's go! Don't waste too much time." With that, he pushed the three brothers out.

Jian City is on the west bank of the Jiangxi River, and a barren beach in the east of the city is the so-called execution site. The three servars pushed Li Rong and three others into a small boat, rowed with oars, and quickly arrived in the heart of the river. One person also muttered, "Fuck Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, a good prince, suddenly created something wrong. It made our brothers so busy that they didn't even have time to pee.

Another yi yi yi said, "If you have urine, just sprinkle it in the Ganjiang River now. What can you complain about?"

Zhang San, the head of the class, laughed when he heard it. At this moment, a small wooden boat on the river not far away suddenly capsized, and a woman's voice said, "Help! Help!"

A sman said, "Head of the class, two people fell into the water. What should I do?"

Zhang San said, "What should I do? You two are good at nature. Hurry up and save people."

The yi yi said, "What about these prisoners?"

Zhang Sanshi said, "I look at them, are you afraid that they will run away? If I hadn't been too bad at water, would I still have to talk to you?"

"Good! Let's go and save people!" After saying that, the two government officials took off their clothes and jumped into the water. Zhang San was standing in the bow of the boat and looked anxiously. The Li Rong brothers were tied with their arms. They looked at this unexpected scene and looked at each other. After Zhang Sanxiang, the head of the class, turned his back completely, Li Rong, suddenly jumped up and hit Zhang Sanxiang with his head fiercely. Zhang Sanxiang fell into the water and shouted in the water: "Help!"

The individual quickly untied the rope, picked up the oars, and rowed vigorously.

Zhang Sanxiang struggled desperately in the water and shouted, "The prisoner ran away!" The prisoner ran away!" The other two servists swam over, pulled Zhang Sanshi, and swam to the boat that had not yet been turned over. ......

At noon that day, Wang Shouren and Wu Wending discussed while eating noodles. Wu Wending finished eating first and said, "Dudu, I have finished everything you told me. What else can I order?"

Wang Shouren also put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked, "In addition to Liu Yangzheng, what other people are under King Ning's command who are from origin in Ji'an?"

Wu Wending said, "As far as I know, eunuch Chen Xian, generals Ge Jiang, Yu Qin, etc., at least three or four, are all from Jiangxi after all."

Wang Shouren thought for a moment and said, "I want to write a well-known letter to each of them."

"Persuasion?"

"No, use room." Wang Shouren smiled. After saying that, he directly picked up the brush and wrote it on the paper. Wu Wending picked up the dishes and chopsticks by himself, sent them out, and soon returned and closed the door.

Wang Shouren has written several letters and said to Wu Wending: "Sneak it to their home in the evening and ask them to send their close relatives to send the letter to Nanchang as soon as possible, nothing else. After that, these people's family should be treated with courtesy.

Wu Wending asked, "Can these letters really alienate the relationship between King Ning and his subordinates?"

Wang Shouren asked, "Can you make King Ning suspicious?"

Wu Wending said, "It's certain to make him suspicious."

Wang Shouren said, "As long as we can delay King Ning, mess up his army, and allow the provincial guards along the river to prepare for a few more days, our goal will be achieved."

Wu Wending said with emotion, "Sun Tzu said: 'Go to the army to fight'. Wu admires the beauty of adults and the god of strategy. Don't worry, I will send these letters to the homes of these rebels one by one, and then let them follow the schedule of the adults. It's just... It's a pity that these letters are really good words.

Wang Shouren said with a smile, "Why do you say that? After suppressing the rebellion, I will write a big stripe for you.

Wu Wending said, "Then thank the governor first." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Three days later, Li Rong, Li Hua and Li Gui came to the door of Li's house in confusion and said, "Go and report to your father, and say that the three sons of my hometown are coming."

The master is worried about his relatives in his hometown. Hurry in and report it.

Li Shishi came out to greet him. When the three brothers saw their father, they cried loudly. The father and son hugged and cried for a long time, but Li Rong took the lead in stopping his grief and said, "Father, take me to see His Royal Highness King Ning. I have important military information to report to King Ning."

When Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, heard Li Rong's report and learned that Wang Shouren sent government officials to the designated places in Ji'an to meet the officers and soldiers who came to suppress the rebellion, he was so surprised that he was speechless. Li Shishi took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said, "Your Highness, you only need to send people to the designated places to intercept these servants and search for official documents and letters to confirm the authenticity of the information. Besides, my three sons escaped from the ghost gate, and there is no need to make up a fake message to ask the prince for a reward.

The king of Ning immediately called the eunuch Yu Cai: "Quickly go to the five places mentioned by Mr. Li to capture all these government officials and bring them back alive."

Yu just took the order and left. King Ning paced back and forth in the house, and then stopped to Li Shishi and said, "Li Aiqing, the day before yesterday, the fire card of Yang Dan, the governor of Guangdong, was mistakenly thrown into the government official government in Jiangxi, and we got it; today we got the information of Mr. We suddenly rose up and were going to send troops on June 22nd, down the river and break through Nanjing first. It seems that the court may have been prepared for a long time, and several officers and soldiers have lurked. If we leave Nanchang at this time, we may be surrounded by all kinds of troops in the court. Gu Wang thought, we might as well stay in Nanchang for a period of time to reorganize and train people, and see the wind. If the officers and soldiers really arrive in Jiangxi soon, then we should take the defensive position first and stand in an invincible place.

Li Shishi nodded and said, "The prince's judgment is extremely correct. The old minister thought that now we should not only strengthen the city defense of Nanchang, but also quickly send troops to capture the Jiujiang and Nankang two mansions, which are the closest to Nanchang, so that we not only have a springboard to go north, but also have the room for manoeuvre to defend Jiangxi.

King Ning shouted, "Come on! Go and call Wang Lun, the minister of the Ministry of War, to discuss with him the attack on Jiujiang and Nankang. Hurry up!"

The eunuch left. King Ning is still thinking. Li Shi was really by his side. At this time, a eunuch came in with several letters and said nervously, "Your Majesty, we caught a few messengers inside and outside the city, all of whom were from Ji'an. Please read this letter first, and I dare not say more.

Ning Wang took a letter with the words "Mr. Liu Ziji personally". He opened it and saw it written--

"Chengshou's teaching secret: It shows Mr.'s loyalty to serve the country. I first knew that the recent events were forced by the situation. Although I was caught in a trap, my heart was all in the royal family. As a metaphor for the conspiracy, Mr. Non-Sir can't reach this. Now Ziji will work together, and there should be no loss. However, if the opportunity is not secret, it will be harmful, and it is necessary to take advantage of the time to stand by. What's more, the four forces have been combined, and they can only be attacked as soon as this public comes out, but they may not be willing to come out of their ears. Yesterday, Yu and Ge Zhu sent people to spread the secret news, which was also inspired by his teacher's enlightenment, but I'm afraid that these three or four people are rough men and easy to leak. They must be cautious and guard against them. After reading, you will pay for the fire, which is not well-known.

King Ning looked at it and was puzzled. He muttered to himself, "How could Ziji...? How can Ziji...?"

Li Shishi came forward and whispered, "Your Highness, people's hearts are separated, and the world is unpredictable. According to Dogzi, the old minister's family in Ji'an's old house were raided and blocked, but Liu Yangzheng, Yu Qin, Ge Jiang and others in their hometown and relatives were treated preferentially and protected. Isn't this strange at this time of rapid change?

When King Ning heard this, he said, "Liu Yangzheng can be called half of the brain of the lonely king; Yu Qin, Ge Jiang and others have mastered tens of thousands of horses. In case we rush out of Nanchang and go to the wild, the situation will be really unpredictable at that time.

At this time, the counselor Liu Yangzheng asked for a meeting and walked straight in as usual. As soon as Ning Wang saw it, he hurriedly hid the letter under the table and said to Liu Yangzheng in a hurry, "Ziji, why did you come in without a notice? Don't be too casual."

Liu Yangzheng was stunned and hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah, I will pay attention to it in the future. Your Highness, all kinds of people have arrived, and we can leave tomorrow. We are still a day ahead of schedule.

King Ning said slowly: "King Gu received a secret report that five officers and soldiers were coming from Huguang, Guangdong, Nanzhenli and other places, plotting to attack our army on the way. Therefore, Gu Wang decided to order all the troops to stay in Nanchang City for a period of time before strengthening the defense of Nanchang and stand invincibility."

Liu Yangzheng was shocked and said, "Your Highness, where did you get the information from? Why didn't you know it in advance?"

King Ning said with a little dissatisfaction, "The lonely king is the king of a country, and everything may not have to be agreed by his husband."

Li Shi really knocked on Liu Yangzheng implicitly and said, "Ziji, you have always been diligent in working for the prince. But at this time of rapid change, you can't have two minds.

When Liu Yangzheng heard this, the second monk was even more confused, "Why am I, me and I two-hearted? Lord Li, please make it clear to your face.

Ning Wang said, "Ziji, you are the right-hand man of the lonely king. Of course, the lonely king trusts you. You are really too busy during this period. You might as well take a few days off and send troops. Let's talk about it in a few days.

Liu Yangzheng said helplessly, "It's all up to the prince." After saying that, he went out sullenly.
