I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Outside Jinling City, on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

While the civil servants and generals of the Hongxi regime of the Great New Dynasty were busy fighting within the party, and were busy fighting with Jin King Chen Huaian to rule the Yangtze River, Wu Sanjia, who was labeled a rebel in the Huben New Army camp on the north bank, was not idle either.

At this time, a month had passed since Huben's new army, which marched south to King Qin of Beijing, arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

During this period, under the orders of General Wu Sanjia, Deputy General Zhao Kui built warships and trained soldiers in water warfare, which was quite effective.

Tang Ziyi, another deputy general of the Huben Army, also took General Wu Sanjia's general order to control the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and went to various places to gather soldiers and horses to go south to Beijing to Qinwang.

However, the soldiers and horses from all over Daxin, who were already in a state of disunity, seemed to have no interest in going to Beijing to serve the king.

Especially after the generals from various places learned from Tang Ziyi that Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao had kidnapped the emperor and the queen mother, and also learned that Prime Minister Qin Ruhui had crowned Prince Fu's son Zhao Lingzhan in the imperial city of the capital. ;

It also vividly interprets the attitude of sitting on the fence and watching.

As a result, after much lobbying, Tang Ziyi was able to bring back 70,000 soldiers and horses, and he was willing to follow the general Wu Sanjia and die for Emperor Lingwu of the Great New Dynasty.

Today, Wu Sanjia on the north bank of the Yangtze River has an army of 250,000, and the warships needed to cross the river are also being worked on day and night.

It seems that everything is developing for the better.

However, time was not on Wu Sanjia's side.

Wu Sanjia has received information from spies that Jin King Chen Huaian has led 100,000 reinforcements to Jinan Prefecture a few days ago. After joining forces with the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army that captured Jinan Prefecture, the troops will inevitably point directly at Jinling City.

By that time, Wu Sanjia's new Huben army will face the difficult situation of being attacked from both sides.

"Hey, Wu Qidong, who is guarding Jinan Prefecture, even wrote a letter to me with great arrogance, saying that it would not be a problem to defend Jinan Prefecture for a year and a half;"

In the Chinese army's tent, Wu Sanjia looked at the battle map on the desk alone and said to himself: "Who would have thought that the city would be captured by Chang Yuchun in ten days;"

"Even if you persist in destroying the city for a month, General I won't be in the passive situation you are in now!"

Eh--

Wu Sanjia let out a long sigh and said: "God is really going to destroy me, Wu Sanjia, and God is going to destroy the Lingwu regime of the Great New Dynasty!"

"Report——"

"Reporting to the general, urgent military situation on the south bank!"

At this moment, the voice of deputy general Tang Ziyi suddenly came from outside the Chinese army's tent.

oh?

Wu Sanjia raised his brows, regained his usual confident look, and ordered sternly: "Come in and talk!"

"Yes, General!"

Soon, deputy general Tang Ziyi hurriedly appeared in the Chinese army's tent and said to Wu Sanjia with a serious face: "General——"

"The last general has just received a secret message from Su Chen, the governor-general of the garrison on the south bank. Su Chen expressed his willingness to give way to the Huben New Army's river navigation and allow the Huben New Army's navy to go south along the river and go straight to the Jiangyin Daxin Navy Base Camp to meet them. Return to Emperor Lingwu and Queen Mother Su!”

"What?"

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia stood up immediately and confirmed excitedly: "Vice General Tang, are you serious about this?"

Tang Ziyi nodded heavily and said: "General, it is absolutely true. This news was brought to the general by the son of Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang, who crossed the river in person;"

"And, Su Chen's young master is now in the general's camp."

"Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang, is using this method to show us his determination and sincerity!"

Tang Ziyi said categorically: "Otherwise, he would never send his eldest son to the camp of our Huben New Army to serve as a hostage!"

Wu Sanjia's brain thoughts were running rapidly.

Speaking of which, during the confrontation between the two armies across the river, it was not uncommon for them to secretly communicate with each other, and Wu Sanjia and Su Chen were no exception.

These two people are old acquaintances, and it is reasonable for them to stand on opposite sides for their masters during the Great New Lingwu Coup.

In the final analysis, it is not just to gain more political capital for oneself.

Therefore, when Wu Sanjia learned that Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang, actually sent his son to the Huben New Army camp to serve as a hostage to show his sincerity and determination, he believed the matter 70-80% .

Obviously, Su Chen failed to get what he wanted in the new Hongxi regime.

Wu Sanjia then asked: "What are the conditions?"

Tang Ziyi replied without hesitation: "Master Su's son has said that when the general welcomes the emperor back and regains power, he will be ranked among the three princes, and he will also get the gold medal of alchemy and iron coupons to avoid death!"

"As a token of surrender, Mr. Su is willing to provide convenience for Huben's new navy to go south to Jiangyin, and after the general welcomes the emperor back, he will cooperate with the general to seize Jinling City!"

Um!

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia frowned and nodded, saying: "Master Su's request is not too outrageous!"

"If Emperor Lingwu can come back to power this time, he will definitely not be stingy about a position among the three princes, let alone the golden book of elixirs and iron coupons to avoid death!"

"This general, on behalf of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, agrees to this condition!"

Afterwards, Wu Sanjia ordered: "Vice Admiral Tang, go to the Navy..."

After thinking for a while, Wu Sanjia said again: "Forget it, let me go there in person!"

Not long after, Wu Sanjia personally came to the naval camp of the Huben New Army where they were training.

"General, you are here!"

Zhao Kui, the deputy general in charge of training the navy, ran over to greet General Wu Sanjia with his bare chest after hearing the news that he was coming.

Wu Sanjia didn't bother to greet him because the matter was urgent. He went straight to the point and said, "Deputy General Zhao, you should immediately select 10,000 elite soldiers from the navy officers and soldiers. In three days, follow me to the south along the river and go straight to Fang Tianyao's Jiangyin nest;"

"I will personally go to welcome the emperor and the queen mother back!"

"I have received your order!"

......

At the same time, in Bohai Bay, Yingzhou.

Wengcheng Town, Longcheng Army and Navy Camp.

Jin Wang Chen Huaian arrived in Yingzhou one step ahead of Longcheng's southern expedition reinforcements, and went to the navy camp to inspect the training of the Qi Family Army of Longcheng Navy.

Admiral Qi Jiguang of the navy was leading a group of naval generals outside the gate of Wengcheng Town, preparing to welcome the King of Jin.

Chen Huaian was riding a yellow horse, rushing towards the navy camp.

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the King of Jin, the Emperor Hongxi of the Great Xin Dynasty sent an envoy!"

When Chen Huaian was less than two miles away from the navy camp, he was suddenly stopped by the brave general Pang Xianchu who caught up with him and reported to Chen Huaian the intelligence he had just obtained.

Oh?

Chen Huaian stopped the yellow horse and asked with interest: "Why did the Emperor Hongxi send an envoy to find me?"

Pang Xianchu handed a piece of brocade to Chen Huaian and said in a responsible manner: "Your Highness, take a look at this first!"

Chen Huaian took it and opened it to see-the three big characters of "Crime Edict" jumped into his eyes!
