Chapter 822 Awakening

Liu Yangzheng's words also alerted Li Shishi, Wang Lun and others. It was their idea to return to Nanchang, but at this time, the situation at this moment was really difficult to decide. If they were really besieged in a corner of Jiangxi, it would be a matter of time before it would be destroyed, which was by no means sensational.

In addition to the reason that the imperial army has not yet launched, there is also their personal abacus. There are their wives and children in Nanchang Mansion, and they have their land and houses. They can't watch the back road being copied, and their wives and children fall into the hands of Wang Shouren. Now it seems that they have embarked on this road, Those things may have to be given up.

"Your Majesty." Wang Lun said in a low voice, "What the military commander said is that the army of the imperial court arrived at the moment. At this moment, it is naturally easy to return to Nanchang and repel Wang Shouren, but time has given the imperial army a chance to trap us. If there is enough time, it is feasible to defeat Wang Shouren and then turn back to attack Nanjing, but since the imperial army has rushed straight through Shandong, I am afraid that it will rush to the north of the Yangtze River on the other side of the Jiujiang River in three or five days. If you stick to the gains and losses of Nanchang Mansion, you may make the situation very bad and lead to hatred.

Zhu Chenhao said straightly, "Do I give up Nanchang like this? What about the army's money and food, the royal family, and your wife and children?

Liu Yangzheng said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not unavoidable. The emperor can immediately send a decree to the king of Yichun, who stayed in Nanchang, and Wan Rui, the general of the dragon and tiger, to lead all the left-behind soldiers and horses to protect the royal family and related people to break out of the city. There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind, and Wang Shouren's besieged soldiers and horses are only 20,000. If he is determined to leave, Wang Shouren can't stop him. We will send another 10,000 soldiers to pick up, and 300 warships are on standby at the mouth of Poyang Lake. As long as the materials and personnel get on the ship, they can catch up with the army along the stream. At that time, the fierce attack on Nanjing will not be broken, and there will be no worries.

Zhu Chenhao nodded slightly and asked the others sideways, "Do you think this will work?"

Li Shishi said: "I think what the military division said is sincere, which is also the best strategy of both sides. I just allocated 300 warships to take over and divide 10,000 troops. Our army has only 400 warships left, and the south to attack Nanjing is slightly insufficient.

Wang Lun said, "If it is urgent to follow the power, it can only be like this. There are many large and small ships on the left, and there are no usable ships available. There are no more than 400 soldiers and ships that can go south with 50,000 troops to capture Nanjing."

Liu Yangzheng said: "Don't think about this now. In any case, Nanjing must be captured. If you conquer Nanjing City, you will be born. If you don't defeat it, you will be defeated. There will be no way out. The emperor and all of you should understand this and make a decision to be reckless.

Zhu Chenhao finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind and ordered in a low voice: "The order, the rear army turned the bow of the ship out of Poyang Lake to attack Nanjing City overnight, and ordered people to quickly sneak into Nanjing City to contact the three thousand households of Jinwuwei's own guards, and asked them to report the situation in Nanjing with military pigeons, especially the battle arrangement of the court's soldiers and horses, waiting for When our soldiers came outside Nanjing, we asked them to seize Nanjing City together in the city.

Everyone responded in unison. For a moment, the sentry ship came out, the military pigeon broke through the air, and the general's order was quickly conveyed. The huge fleet stretching for more than 20 miles immediately turned around, lowered its sails and waved its oars towards the mouth of the Yangtze River. Three hundred warships slowly pulled closer to the west bank of Poyang Lake. After arriving on the shore, more than 10,000 rebels waded on the shore and rushed to Nanchang Prefecture overnight to pick up the left-behind soldiers and horses who were about to break out.

......

The reed fire on the side of Nanji Island is still spreading, and a large number of withered reeds are burning fiercely with the help of the wind, which is exactly the situation Wang Shouren expected. In this case, the river leading to Nanchang Prefecture is impassable, but at the same time, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses ambushed also have to retreat to the shore, according to Wang Shouren's order. Guard on both sides of the river bank.

Wang Shouren's intention is that if Zhu Chenhao's rebels do not give up and still have to pass through the river, then launch another round of snipers on the two sides of the highlands to stop the rebels' return to help step by step, give them a blow, and also give the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Wang Mion who attacked Nanchang City to arrive and arrange the time.

However, when the reed fire on the river gradually spread to both sides, and the reed fires in front of the river were extinguished. Only when sporadic Mars flew, the shadow of the rebels was not seen at all. From a distance, the lights on the starry warships on Poyang Lake also seemed to be fading away until they disappeared.

Wang Shouren immediately sent a small boat to venture to spy on the lake. The news was that the main force of the rebels turned north and seemed to be Poyang Lake. Wang Shouren frowned and meditated for a moment. He didn't understand why Zhu Chenhao knew that his hands were limited, but he retreated cowardly. Wang Shouren was a practical person, and he didn't think that Zhu Chenhao was afraid of his ambush, but there might be another reason.

"The rebels may not want to pester us. It's time to go ashore from other places and drive back to Nanchang by land." The generals guessed.

"That's not the case. There is a day difference between land and waterway. Zhu Chenhao has hundreds of warships. How can he give up the distance? Everyone knows that our blocking can only be delayed for a while. It is impossible for Zhu Chenhao and his counselors not to know this. They just need to rush through and send a land to entanglement with us, which can ensure that the main fleet can quickly sail through the estuary to Nanchang, which will save a day in time.

"What's going on? Don't you care about Nanchang City? Don't the rebels return from Anqing Prefecture just to annihilate us and keep Nanchang Prefecture? Did Zhu Chenhao change his mind?"

"There is always a reason. Maybe they really gave up Nanchang Prefecture, or there may be other reasons that cause them to turn back. In short, we have done everything we should do. It is impossible for me to fight against the main force of the rebels with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Since they don't care about Nanchang Mansion, we will naturally accept this big gift and immediately order to march into Nanchang City overnight and order Wang Mian to complete the siege deployment tomorrow evening. As soon as I arrive, I will immediately attack the city and take away Zhu Chenhao's nest.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses quickly gathered. In the night, Wang Shouren stood on the high hill, straightening his chest and facing the wind. His beard flew with the wind, his eyes were bright and his eyes were firm.

......

Outside Nanchang City, Wang Mian led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the city. Those who stayed in Nanchang City were Zhu Gongxi, the king of Yichun, who was attached to Zhu Chenhao and Wan Rui, who was recently named General Longhu. After taking down Anqing, Zhu Chenhao was worried about the safety of the rear and transferred Wan Rui back to Nanchang City as the responsibility of defending the city.

After Wang Mian's soldiers and horses came to the city, there was a panic atmosphere in the city. Zhu Gongyu, the king of Yichun, was the son of Zhu Chenhao's younger brother Zhu Chenxun. His father Zhu Chenxu died 13 years ago. Originally, Zhu Chenxun was the eldest son, Zhu Chenhao was a prostitute and son, and the throne of King Ning was Zhu Chenxun. Unfortunately, he died early and made Zhu Chenhao cheaper. Now the uncle rebelled, and the nephew could only follow, but as soon as he heard the arrival of Wang Shouren's army, Zhu Gongqi was at a loss and quickly invited Wan Rui to discuss countermeasures.

Wan Rui doesn't care, 20,000 to 20,000, one defense and one attack, naturally the defense occupies the position. In addition, 30 artillery pieces were placed at the head of Nanchang City, which were all Zhu Chenhao's guys at the bottom of the box. In order to defend the city, Zhu Chenhao allowed Wan Rui to use these guns, and only 60 such guns were carried in the front army. When the army attacked Jiujiang Anqing and other mansions, they were not willing to use these guns, but allowed themselves to defend the city. Random use shows the emperor's attention to Nanchang City.

There is no worry about the materials. Hundreds of thousands of grain are stored in the huge granary on the west side of the royal palace. As long as you keep the city, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about the military strength. There are more than 100,000 people in the city, and the troops are damaged and you can pull the people to join the army at will. This is what Zhu Chenhao can do by himself when he is leaving. At this moment, Wan Rui is extremely despised in the face of the timid look of the King of Yichun. Since following Zhu Chenhao's rebellion, Wan Rui finally understands what princes and nobles have noble bloodlines. He answered that sentence: Do princes and generals have guts? As long as you can work, the prince can become the emperor. Why can't you become the prince?

"Don't worry. The prince is only responsible for guarding the city. The prince only needs to have a banquet and drink songs and dances at home. Wang Shouren doesn't want to step into Nanchang City. In the end, he will beat them to cry for their father and mother. It's better for the prince to be relieved. If you panic, teach the soldiers and civilians how to feel at ease?" Wan Rui said these words coldly, seemingly respectfully comforting, but in fact, he was very disdainful.

Wang Yichun breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't hear the contempt in Wan Rui's tone. Since Wan Rui is more confident, he has nothing to worry about. The spring flowers in the back garden hit the bones, and he has to water it in person in the afternoon. The yellow warbler in the golden cage in the study is not energetic these days. I have to see what it is later. There is still something wrong with the poor food, which is something you have to worry about; as for guarding the city, let Wan Rui worry about it.

Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses came to the city, and the reaction of the people in the city was very strange. Although Zhu Chenhao claimed to the outside world that his rebellious act was supported by the people, Zhu Chenhao, who supported the people, did not understand the thoughts of the people in Nanchang at all. Over the years, Zhu Chenhao has been domineering in Nanchang, occupying a large area of good land and monopolizing a large number of money-making industry, which is of no benefit to the people at all.

Although Zhu Chenhao also faked porridge relief, those people who lost their land because of his clever robbery had already seen his true face. Now this bad thing has rebelled, and the people who are tossing in Ralph's stalls can't live in peace. They also spread all kinds of taxes in the name of Fengjun. It's good for the people not to curse more than a dozen times a day behind their back. That's something that's supported by thousands of people.

Outside the city are the soldiers and horses of the court, and the hearts of the people in the city are a little ready to move. On the surface, this is a silent city. The people are also unable to resist and bear Wan Rui's order for the whole people to participate in the defense of the city, but the storm brewing in their hearts continues to grow in the intersection of everyone's eyes.

Soon after, a shocking and irony incident made the siege a comedy. Later, people laughed when they talked about it. Even Wang Shouren, the party concerned, could not take it seriously, and his old face smiled like a cracked jujube core.
