Chapter 135 Victory and Claw
The next morning came late, and this night was quite long for King Ning. On the handsome boat, King Ning sat in the middle with a straight face, and the eunuch Liu Ji stood aside to serve. Next to him are Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng, and below are Wang Lun, Ling Eleven, Yu Qin, Ge Jiang and Wang Chun and other generals. Everyone looked sad and quarreled.
Wang Chun said, "Your Majesty, in yesterday's war, Ge Jiang's troops did not listen to the dispatch and the formation was scattered. When the general repelled the officers and soldiers, they ran to the front to grab the merit and disturbed our formation. When the officers and soldiers launched a counterattack, they took the lead in fleeing, causing chaos among all ships. Therefore, Ge Jiang could not absolve himself from the blame for the failure of yesterday's battle.
Ge Jiang said, "Don't blame me alone. Yu Qin's fleet was originally guarding on the left wing, but it was neglected to guard and let several supporting soldiers of the officers and soldiers intervene, disturbing our army. The most annoying thing is that they actually let a few boats rush in, and the boat actually wrote on a wooden sign: 'King Ning has been captured, and our army must not kill indiscriminately. Isn't this a reproach?
King Ning was furious and said, "Ge Jiang, what else do you have to argue about? Yesterday, I watched the battle in person and saw with my own eyes that your fleet did not obey the command. When grabbing merit, it was more anxious than anyone else, and when escaping was faster than anyone else! Come on, push Ge Jiang out and kill him!"
Several guards came in, held down Ge Jiang and pushed them out. Ge Jiang shouted, "Lord, spare my life! The last general is wronged!" Before the words fell, a "click" was heard outside the cabin.
Ning Wang's face was blue and he said, "Take it out." Several eunuchs carried out two large boxes. When I opened it, it was full of valuable things such as gold ingots and pearl agate. King Ning said, "At the idea of Liu Guoshi, our army has connected all the warships into a phalanx last night and can advance and retreat together. Today, our army must fight to the death. We still have nearly 40,000 horses, and the lonely king has ordered to transfer all the people guarding Jiujiang and Nankang, adding up to no more than 50,000. The battle two days ago was not good. It's not everyone's fault, but Gu Wang's contempt for Wang Shouren. Today, we will attack with all our strength and make no retreat. If you don't defeat Wang Shouren, you will never stop the army!"
Liu Yangzheng stood up and wanted to say a few words to boost morale, "Generals, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. The battle two days ago was not good, so you don't have to worry about it. In today's World War, we have the same pace and fight steadily. We are not afraid of Wang Shouren's tricks--"
Before the words fell, a shell roared and hit the auxiliary boat next to Ning Wang's handsome ship. Because the big ships were connected by iron cables, the shock caused by the explosion of the shell also shook Ning's own ship. Liu Yangzheng, who was concentrateing on speaking, was caught off guard and fell to the ground, with a blue nose and swollen face. Other generals were also shocked. King Ning asked loudly, "What's going on? Did Wang Shouren attack again?"
A flag official ran in and reported in panic: "There is a fire. Officers and soldiers, attack with fire!"
Ning Wang and the generals ran to the bow and found that not far from him, the officer's boat rushed over. The Ming soldiers on the boat fired desperately at their warship phalanx with rockets. The Ming army fleet a little far away shot out a long crossbow with a gunpowder bag with a hard crossbow. Each gunpowder crossbow shot into King Ning's warship phalanx and quickly ignited a fire. The soldiers of King Ning's subordinates were frightened and fled in all directions. Some grabbed the boat and fled for their lives and accidentally fell into the water in a hurry; some bent down to untie the iron cables. Before they could be untied, another shell exploded on the starboard of the ship, and a group of soldiers were blown into the river. However, a moment later, King Ning's warship phalanx was full of fire. The soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another. Some jumped directly into the river and struggled to swim ashore...
The Ming army began to attack. A large number of small boats rushed over from all directions. The Ming officers and soldiers on the ship held spears and stabbed the Ningwang soldiers who fell into the water. In an instant, the Jiangjiang River was red...
Ning Wang said to Liu Yangzheng in horror, "Master, think of a way. What should I do?"
Liu Yangzheng stammered and said, "Your Highness, we are suddenly moored in the wood house. Unexpectedly, the wind direction has changed. The officers and soldiers are now changing to fire attack. We, we, we should..."
Another long crossbow with a gunpowder bag shot and landed on the front deck of Ning Wangshuai's ship. The civilian generals were in chaos for a moment and fled separately. When King Ning saw that even his left and right cronies were scattered, he shouted, "I am also dead!" After pulling out the sword, he wanted to kill himself. Liu Ji, the only eunuch who stayed by his side, grabbed the sword and cried to King Ning and said, "Your Highness, keep the green mountains here. Don't be afraid of firewood. Let's find a boat to escape for your life."
Ning Wang actually didn't want to die. He said to Liu Ji, "Is there any boat?"
Liu Ji said, "Yes! Yes!" With that, he led King Ning to the stern of the handsome ship, where a small raft was tied and covered with a layer of oilcloth. Ning Wang and Liu Ji cut the rope with their swords and put down the raft. The two got on the raft and began to paddle hard. After rowing for a while, several Ning soldiers who fell into the water swam over and pulled the raft with their hands to climb up. King Ning was furious and shouted, "Who dares to rob the lonely king's boat!" No one paid attention to him, and the fallen man still desperately wanted to climb up. In anger, King Ning cut off the fingers of the wrencher with his sword, and dozens of fingers were cut off in an instant. However, the wrencher's hand loosened, the raft lost its balance, and Ning Wang and Liu Ji also fell into the water. Liu Ji shouted, "I don't know water, help!" After struggling for a while, he obediently sank to the bottom of the river.
Ning Wang grew up by the Ganjiang River and has good water quality. He swam forward vigorously, but the sword refused to leave his hand. Whoever blocked the way, he waved his sword and cut it. After a while, he really swam out of the battlefield. King Ning felt that his feet had touched the ground. He looked up and saw that he had swam on a deserted island in the heart of the river, a hundred feet away from the real river bank. King Ning looked back at the direction of the woodhe, and it was still burning, shouting for killing. He didn't care much and just wanted to escape from this place first. But he is exhausted and can't swim. He really hopes to have a boat to sit on. He looked around and accidentally found that there was really a small fishing boat in the reeds not far away, and a fisherman was sitting at the bow of the boat leisurely netting fish.
Ning Wang shouted, "Ship family! Come and cross me! Come and ferry me!"
This is a small fishing boat, which is rowed by a fisherman in his 30s. He rowed the boat to King Ning and said in a local accent, "Lao Yu, what can I do for you?"
Ning Wang said, "Lao Yu, please take me to the boat quickly. I'll give you more money." With that, King Ning casually took out a small ingot of gold from his arms.
When the fisherman saw it, he said in surprise, "How can it take so much money to cross a river? I dare not take it."
Ning Wang said generously, "It's all yours, as long as you cross the shore!"
The fisherman nodded and said, "There is too much money. We don't do such a killing business. Well, I'll send you to the shore, go to my big boat by the river, cook some food for you, and change your clean clothes. This money is mine, okay?"
Ning Wang said repeatedly, "Okay! OK! Hurry up." With that, he got on the fishing boat.
The fisherman rowed his oars, and the fishing boat rowed towards the shore like a straight arrow. In a short time, it was almost to the riverside. Sure enough, there was a large fishing boat parked by the river for fishermen to live and eat. The fisherman shouted, "Hey, there are guests coming. Hurry up and prepare food!"
While shouting, he was ready to get on the big boat. King Ning said, "Thank you very much." Just stepped on the big boat. Several government officials rushed out of it and knocked King Ning to the ground. King Ning was shocked and asked, "Who are you? Why did you tie me up?"
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a civil official came out of the cabin. When he saw King Ning, he was overjoyed and said, "Aha! He caught a big fish and caught Ning Wang himself. His Royal Highness King Ning, Huang Mian of Wan'an Zhixian County is polite.
The left and right were overjoyed and asked, "Huang Zhixian, is this guy really the king of Ning?"
Zhixian said, "It's not that I haven't seen him. At the beginning, he was arrogant. He didn't even look at a small county like me!"
Another servant said happily, "Wang Dudu is really expected. He asked us to find 20 fishing boats pretending to be fishermen and wait at the Jin ferry everywhere, waiting for the generals under King Ning to throw themselves into the net. Unexpectedly, our brothers actually caught King Ning himself.
Huang Mian, the county magistrate, also said happily, "Let's go and get the reward!"
......
At the same time, Wang Shouren sat on his handsome boat and slowly headed for the battlefield. The left and right staff and students excitedly talked about today's decisive fire attack.
A visit to Malaysia: "Report to the governor. Wu Zhifu came to report that about 3,000 rebel thieves were captured and tens of thousands of rebels drowned. Rebel leaders Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Lun, Ling Eleven and others have been captured alive. The remaining battle is estimated to be over in half an hour.
Wang Shouren asked, "Is there any whereabouts of King Ning?"
Tan Ma replied, "I don't know yet."
After a while, another detective came to report: "The governor, Lord Chen Huai, the governor of Fuzhou, and Lord Zeng Ji, the governor of Jianchang, came to report that they had recovered the two capital cities of Jiujiang and Nankang, and the rebels were annihilated by me on the way to escape."
Wang Shouren said, "Tell Chen Huai to quickly block the Yangtze River at the mouth of the lake to prevent the rebels who escaped from the net in the Ganjiang River from escaping into the Yangtze River through Poyang Lake for chaos."
After a while, another detective came to report: "General Yu En sent someone to report it. A group of 3,000-4,000 rebels rushed out of the woodshed river and fled in the direction of Changyi and Wucheng.
Wang Shouren said, "Tell General Yu En that these are already rootless bandits. Don't be afraid of being ambushed. Quickly catch up and destroy them, and don't let them run into other places to continue to make trouble."
Tan Ma left again. At this time, Lei Ji, the Chinese army, came in and said to Wang Shouren, "Wan Zhixian Wang Mian reported that he caught King Ning."
The whole audience is boiling. Wang Shouren said calmly, "Let him in."
Wang Mian and the servant escorted Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, in. Wang Shouren took a look at Zhu Chenhao and said politely, "Are you His Royal Highness King Ning? It seems that we met for the first time.
When Ning Wang saw it, he pretended to be energetic and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, after all, this war is a matter of our family surnamed Zhu. Why bother Mr. Wang so much?"
Wang Shouren said, "As a minister, it is my duty to be loyal to the king."
Ning Wang said, "Mr. Wang, I want to remove all my guards, resign from the title of prince, and demote them to common people. I don't know if it's okay?"
Wang Shouren said, "There is a national law." After saying that, he looked directly at King Ning with his eyes. When King Ning saw it, he lowered his head and lost his energy. Seeing that he had nothing to say, Wang Shouren said, "Take it down and take strict care of it."
King Ning was taken away, and the staff and students in the cabin cheered again. Tears flashed in Zou Shouyi's eyes and said, "Congratulations, teacher! This Wang Ning's rebellion was originally an earth-shaking change. Seeing that the people in the world were about to suffer an unprecedented disaster, however, the teacher advocated righteous rejuvenation and temporarily gathered more than 10,000 people to calm down the chaos in less than half a month from July 13 to July 26 today. The speed and the wonder of using troops are really rare. The student's attendant teacher counselor's military affairs, which he saw with his own eyes from beginning to end, was deeply impressed.
Xiao Yu, a staff member, came over and said, "To be honest, I especially sympathize with King Ning--"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know why Xiao Yu said this.
Xiao Yu continued: "The king of Ning has long had different aspirations, and his subordinates Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and others can also be called resourceful. In the past ten years, they have gathered 70 or 80,000 horses, most of whom are from Jiangyang thieves, which can be said to be the teachers of tigers and wolves. This rebellion, I thought that even if I didn't change the dynasty, I would at least be like An Lushan and Shi Siming for several years and mess up half of China. As a result, it disappeared in only half a month. Alas, King Ning is unlucky. Who told him to meet Governor Wang!"
Everyone listened and burst out laughing.
Wang Shouren sincerely said to his staff: "Without the help of your gentlemen and the bloody battle of the soldiers, no achievements can be achieved by Wang alone. What we need to do now is: first, to appease the people of Jiangxi after the war. Although the war was limited to Jiangxi Province, tens of thousands of people suffered as a result. Most of the soldiers under King Ning are also farmers who have been deceived and taken hostage, so they must be lenient in dealing with the aftermath. As long as it is not the bandits ordered and seized by the government in the past, all rebels, once they put down their weapons, can return to their place of origin and live and work in peace and contentment. Second, quickly report the news of the great victory to the emperor. There have been rumors that the emperor wants to drive a new expedition, and everyone knows that the army and horses have labored the people and hurt their money, and the chickens and dogs are restless. Now we quickly report that the emperor has captured the king of Ning and the rebel leaders, so the emperor doesn't have to come to the south in person.
"And I also have to think about a distant issue..." Wang Shouren muttered to himself.
Yes, it is indeed a distant problem.
One day in 2012, a special patient came to Xie Tian's hypnosis room. Her name was Jiang Beier. She said that she lost her memory after a car accident, hoping to evoke her past memories...
