The news of Emperor Tianwu's assassination fermented across the country, causing severe turmoil.

King Zhu Hengjia of Jingjiang took the opportunity to win over all parties. He invited the princes from all over the country: Let's raise an army and join in!

I even have the Supreme Emperor. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is a rare opportunity in history. It is better than the situation in the Jingnan King of Yan. Why don’t you take the opportunity to follow him? Don’t you know that opportunities will not wait for anyone?

In addition to King Jingjiang, there are naturally many Tiehanhan who also saw this huge opportunity. The first one to respond was King Jin Zhu Shenxuan, and King Ji Zhu Cihuang.

Zhu Hengjia was overjoyed and immediately sent an envoy to negotiate. According to his idea, it would be best to train the central region from south to north to form a front line to resist the imperial court.

As for the future leader, whether he or King Jin, they have agreed to discuss whether he or shed the dispute for the time being. Let’s talk about it later. Those who enter Nanjing first are respected!

King Jingjiang also sent people to join forces with the wealthy families, King Chu and King Gui. These two families are rich and recruit a lot of new troops, and occupy a better geographical location. If they join, the situation will be very good!

King Zhu Huakui of Chu was undecided and said he was in poor health.

If he was twenty years younger, he might be able to fight for his descendants. Now the King of Chu is almost eighty years old. What's the difference between fighting or not? It's better to wait patiently to die.

In Hengyang Prefecture, Huguang, King Gui Zhu Changyu was extremely excited after receiving the invitation to rebel.

He was already seriously ill, and with this excitement, his body completely collapsed.

Zhu Changyi, the King of Gui on the sickbed, called his sons to his side and taught them earnestly that they must follow Emperor Tianwu and not easily fight against the court.

A few years ago, Zhu Cilang encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong and lived in the Gui Palace for a period of time. King Gui was very afraid of the Ming Dynasty crown prince. In addition, he had seen with his own eyes that the Tianwu Army was strong and strong, so he did not dare to rebel with the stupidity of King Jingjiang to death.

After explaining everything, King Gui Zhu Changfeng left peacefully.

Zhu Youyou, the King of Gui who had just succeeded to the throne, was a coward. Rebels such as Jingjiang King and King Ji have been urging him recently and sent troops to intimidate him. Zhu Youyou was scared to death if his heart was not good.

In this way, his younger brother Zhu Youlang took advantage of the new King of Gui.

Faced with the threat from King Jingjiang and King Ji, Zhu Youlang had to pretend to agree and prepare to cheat them.

For the young Zhu Youlang, the cost of rebellion was too great. After being unemployed, Li Zicheng was so poor that he was dying of poverty, without any life, and had a life of ruin. He was born with a seedling of rebellion, and he was still hesitant to rebel if he had rebellion.

I am different. I came from a royal family and had just become a prince. I had all the leisure and entertainment in the royal palace. The beautiful days have just begun. What is the purpose of rebellion? What does it have to do with my descendants?

Let’s not talk about the purpose or not. The key is that these newly recruited soldiers can defeat the imperial army?

If the rebellion fails, the luxurious palace, beautiful wives and concubines, and well-behaved children will be lost, and even their own lives will not be saved. The risk is too great and I can't afford to play!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang smirked, and King Jingjiang was so stupid that he dreamed every day, seeing how I played with them, uphold justice, and avenged my brother!

Zhu Hengjia, who learned of the reactions of all parties, sneered and scolded some guys who were waiting to die, not knowing how to compete for capital for future generations!

In order to expand its influence and seek support from many parties, Zhu Hengjia sent envoys to Huguang, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places to issue edicts and grant edicts, governors, etc. When they come, they will join the cabinet ministers and prefectures and magistrates. After their success, they will all be granted governors!

Zhu Hengjia also ordered the wolf soldiers from Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Zuojiang and Youjiang to increase their own strength in order to increase their own strength.

Under this wave of operation, many conservative gentry immediately defected. First of all, Guangxi General Yang Guowei, Guilin Prefecture Promoter Gu Yi and others also wanted to support themselves, and three chapters persuaded them to advance, which fueled the fire.

King Zhu Hengjia of Jingjiang was overjoyed and immediately appointed General Yang Guowei as the chief general, and was granted the title of Xingye Bo, Sun Jinding as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, Gu Yi as the head of the official department, Guan Shouzhen, and the governor of Guangxi, and the bureaucrats in Guilin who were equal to the Tao, Yu Chao, were awarded the rewards as long as they participated and supported him.

Guangxi Governor Qu Shisi (si) did not respond and insisted on supporting the Nanjing court. He notified the chieftains in the Governor's seal that the "wolf soldiers" were not allowed to obey the orders of King Jingjiang.

Zhu Hengjia knew that the attitude of the governor of Guangxi was directly related to the success or failure of his "career", so he once again won over it. He sent the official department to the chief minister Gu Yi as an envoy and took the imperial edict to Wuzhou to appoint Qu Shishi as the Minister of Justice.

Qu Shixi said that he refused to follow the thief and burned the fake edict on the spot, sternly rejecting the person.

Zhu Hengjia was furious and personally led his troops to Wuzhou to arrest Qu Shishi, took him back to Guilin and placed him under house arrest in the Jingjiang Palace, and accompanied Chongzhen to play chess.

Many officials from Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou did not immediately express their opinions, and the new Governor-General of Guangdong, Guangxi Ding Kuichu was also waiting and watching.

They were not stupid. The Jingwu Army of the Southern Army Governor's Office was stationed in Yunnan. Although they were not in control of their troops now, the Duke of Jingguo Huang Degong was the confidant general of Emperor Tianwu. Once the court had an order, the tens of thousands of Jingwu Army who had been through many battles would not be a joke.

After Zhu Hengjia pulled the flag and calmed down the crisis, he felt that Guangxi was small and had limited money and food, so he could not defend it. So he joined forces with King Ji and other vassal kings to take down Huguang, Henan and northern Zhili first, connecting the north and south into a piece, attracting more vassal kings and gentry to raise the flag.

In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Tianwu, the eight kings including King Jingjiang, King Jin, King Ji, King Gui, etc. officially raised their flags to worship the Jingnan in Tian, ​​and more than 100,000 soldiers from north to south raised their troops together.

King Zhu Hengjia of Jingjiang appointed counselors Yan Tianfeng and Fan Youxian as generals, acting as the left and right vanguards, and sent troops to Wuchang Prefecture in Huguang. He first politely and then surrendered to Yang Yufan, the great commander of the Eastern Army Governor's Office, and also granted the position of Duke of the Kingdom.

According to Zhu Hengjia's idea, as long as Yang Yufan leads the Eastern Army's Governor's Office to surrender, the great cause of Jingnan will be like a tiger, and they will join forces to capture Fengyang, Zhongdu in one place and guard the Yangtze River.

King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin was naturally not idle. At the suggestion of "Black-clad prime minister" Yao Zhitian, he personally led his army to send troops to northern Zhili.

In an attempt to take advantage of the Northern Army Governor's Office sending troops outside the border, the Northern Zhili is empty, and take over the city of Beijing and take over the Forbidden City.

The King of Jin also thought carefully that the Western Army Governor's Office in Shaanxi was busy suppressing the remnants of Shaanxi gentry and bandits. As long as they sent troops to guard Ningwu Pass, they would not be able to enter Shanxi in a short time and there would be no threat for the time being.

Once he took down Beizhili and King Jingjiang took down Huguang, he could attack the Western Army Governor's Office from north to south. With the secret help of the Mongols, he could easily get rid of the two tough bones of Zhou Yuji and Sun Chuanting!
