: Soldiers are sent to Anqing

The Ning Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns, a large banquet, and a joyful atmosphere was found in the gongs and drums. The officials who came to the mansion to congratulate each other one after another. People often say that the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and the concubine of a dignified vassal king could not be simply regarded as a woman who was serving people with sex. What was carried there was the face of a prince. Who dared not to congratulate each other?

There were traffic in front of the palace and the traffic was full of tourists. If you want to come, you had to give me a generous gift. The officials tried their best to send piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the common ones gave gold, silver and treasures, making the accounting rooms of the palace busy.

King Ning sat upright with a spring breeze on his face, stroking his beautiful beard that reached his chest and arrogantly accepted the Jin view of the officials of the Three Divisions. Everything was ready to stop. Just wait for all the officials to arrive and close the gate of the royal palace, and he was about to start a mutiny. At such a moment, it was no need to be nervous and nervous, and he felt excited.

The master of the Red Tail Association, Wang Sengyu, the thief of Poyang Lake, Ling Tai, Wu Ersi, Dagouzi, Jiang Sisi, Ling Shiyi, the head of the local gangster gang in Jiangxi, and Yang Ziqiao, the thief of Dongting, all gathered in the back hall of the royal palace. They were all dressed in strong clothes and swords and guns, with ferocious faces and murderous auras.

Since ancient times, these people are the ones who are most afraid of rebellion. They are doing business that is licking blood from the edge of a knife. They have the opportunity to be king and minister, and have a chance to break up the land and be granted a title of marquis. Why not? They are ready to wait for the opportunity to appear.

Just as the time for the banquet was coming, Prince Ning stood under the golden birthday banner with a smile on his face. There was a horizontal table in front of him, with a large plate of longevity peaches and many fruits on it. His beloved concubine, Miss Sheng Han, came happily with four maids, bowed to him, and then walked to his hand with a clever smile.

Sheng Han is a seventeen-year-old girl with a graceful and tall figure. She is wearing a gold-woven official green silk jacket, with a light red armor on the outside, and a colorful goose yellow skirt on the waist. She is wearing high-soled flower shoes underneath. Her black hair is slanted with a fallen horse bun, with a gentle and charming jade posture. She has a little redness on her face, looking delicate and charming.

Her dress is both cute, cute, festive and elegant, and more ordinary. After all, there are Princess Lou and Princess Bian on her, so the princess can do her birthday. She is already very decent in the harem. If she has a grand makeup, she will be a little arrogant because of her favor. In this way, she looks self-aware and decent, and is more likable.

This girl Sheng Han didn't know that her prince was going to rebel, and she really thought she was celebrating her birthday. She walked to the right and back of Ning Wang with complacent eyes and stood still. She looked at the prince's back with a smile.

King Ning smiled, stroked his long beard, held the cup with his right hand, and suppressed his inner excitement slowly walked to the front of the case. Once the matter is up, there will be no turning back regardless of success or failure. He will either become the emperor or be in a different place. Such a major decision cannot be aroused by his heart.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials knew that King Ning had something to say. They hurriedly stood up and turned to look in front of the hall. King Ning's eyes slowly moved, glanced at the faces of the civil and military officials, suddenly smiled and threw the wine glass in his hand hard to the ground.

Rebellion is just like this in his life. Prince Ning has never practiced it. Although he decided to throw the cup as an example, he forgot that the cup was not an empty cup. If he had to throw it down, he had to raise it first. When he was raised up, a glass of wine was poured on Miss Sheng Han's pretty face. The beauty screamed unexpectedly, covered her face and staggered back two steps.

The civil and military officials were shocked when they saw this. The huge palace immediately became silent, and even a needle fell to the ground could be heard. What did Prince Ning see? Why did he get angry?

Ning Wang stretched his neck and looked forward, looking puzzled. When Ding Qing looked, she found that the cup was thrown on the red felt carpet spread from the gate to the table. So it didn't fall to pieces. Prince Ning's face turned red. Seeing Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi looked at him with a strange expression, quickly roared, slapped the desk and shouted: "Come!"

"Here!" The front responded with a loud noise. Two or three hundred guards of the royal palace were wearing armor, carrying steel knives, and rushed into the hall with murderous aura. Seeing this, all the civil and military officials were shocked and the scene was in chaos.

"Don't move around, don't move around! The prince has something to say!" Liu Yangzheng shouted loudly, turned around and bowed to King Ning, and said, "Prince, please give me instructions!"

Miss Shenghan's eyes were red by the strong wine, and she couldn't hold on anymore. She hurriedly said, "Prince, the cheap concubine...... The bad concubine's eyes can't be held back. I'll sue the prince and retreat."

Seeing her eyes closed, tears flowing, and remembering that she had just broken the cup. She felt that today was a big day for a rebellion, and two bad things were a bit unlucky. She couldn't help but frown slightly and said unhappy: "Get back!" The favorite concubine Sheng Han hurriedly asked the two maids to help her and rushed back to the back house to get water to clean it. She didn't know that she had annoyed King Ning.

"Everyone!" Ning Wangjing relaxed his mood when he was making trouble. Looking at the officials whose faces changed drastically under his strong guard and the sharp steel knife controlled the officials. Ning Wang's confidence increased. He took a step forward and his voice became stable and loud: "I will now announce a decree of the Queen Mother, and all civil and military officials kneel down to listen to the decree!"

There was an uproar in the palace, and only then did the civil and military officials realize that King Ning was so powerful that it was because the empress dowager secretly conveyed the order. However, the harem did not interfere in politics, which was the rule of the Ming Dynasty. The orders of the internal orders would not leave the palace, unless the emperor passed away and the new emperor was not established. Now the empress dowager suddenly issued the orders, but what urgent matters happened in the capital?

The civil and military officials were worried and whispered to each other to find out the news. Liu Yangzheng shouted: "Don't the ministers kneel down and listen to the order?" As he said that, he lifted his robes and knelt down first, shouting: "I listen to the order."

Li Shishi smiled slightly and bowed. Seeing this, civil and military officials left the table to pay homage. When King Ning saw it, he felt a little drunk. Seeing the officials kneeling down as usual, King Ning coughed and said loudly: "Listen to all civil and military officials, when the late emperor was there, he suffered from having no children for a long time. In order to calm the subjects of the world, he listened to the words of the treacherous Li Guang and adopted the adopted son of the people. His original intention was to live with his own flesh and blood and then reveal the truth.

However, the late emperor died suddenly due to illness, and Zhengde inherited the throne. This son was not a descendant of the Zhu family, but he inherited the Zhu family. The chaos of the clan made my ancestors and ancestors not have blood and food. I am now under the secret order of the Empress Dowager to raise an army to fight against the thieves and enter the court to supervise the country. Do you know?"

Nonsense! Who knows about this? After King Ning finished speaking, the palace was like a hornet's nest. It was a mess, noisy and horrifying sound, and endless shouts of questioning and shouting. Many officials stood up impulsively, their faces flushed with excitement, questioning and confirming.

Jiangxi Governor Lin Jun stood up and shouted loudly: "Stop all!" The old man was a weak scholar with a low head, but his voice was quite large, and he suddenly calmed everyone down. The hall calmed down. Governor Lin stepped forward and bowed and said loudly: "Prince Ning. You said that there is a secret order from the Empress Dowager. Where is the secret order? Please come and view it with us."

King Ning narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "This matter is a big deal, so it is naturally an oral order. Zhengde knew that it was not orthodox and took good care of the empress dowager very closely. He had to search his maids when they came in and out. How could he issue an edict? Can you still believe this king's words?"

Lin Jun laughed and said loudly: "Without the Queen Mother's will, how can we prove that the current emperor is not the blood of the late emperor? Just by the prince's words, will we, the imperial officials, obey orders and rebel?"

King Ning was furious and said with a slight face: "Bastard, can I speak nonsense? You don't have to say too much. I will immediately raise an army to fight against the thief. I will only ask you, are you willing to go there?"

After King Ning finished speaking, he heard Jia Yezi rustling in a daze. Two guards of the royal palace carrying sharp swords rushed behind Governor Lin and stood there like two eagles looking down at a chicken. But Governor Lin was not afraid, and he stumbled his neck and shouted angrily: "What did you say? Guardian? Do you dare to call yourself a royal? You know that there is no day, no minister, and Taizu's law is in place, who dares to violate the rules?"

Lin Junqing was famous and famous. He was a famous loyal minister. When Xie Qian was there, he had a close relationship with him, praised him for being straight and upright, and was very kind. As early as the Chenghua period, he was a famous strong man. No matter what powerful people violated the law, they should be dealt with according to the law. Even the arrogance of the world, the family of Concubine Wan was no exception. How could such a person rebel just because of King Ning's words?

King Ning gritted his teeth and shouted: "Take him down!"

The two guards immediately rushed forward and grabbed Governor Lin's shoulder. Lin Jun couldn't break free and shouted loudly: "So bold, I am the imperial court official, Governor of Jiangxi, how dare you take me?"

The wiping made Fang Yunlin look like earth, but the deputy sergeant Zhong Liangming stood up and said, "Prince Ning, you are useless and you are good at taking court ministers. The so-called emperor is not a parent-child language in the late emperor, is it just a cover? Do you want to raise an army to rebel and usurp the throne?"

When King Ning was exposed to his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel angry and shouted: "The late emperor had no son and was alone in charge of the country by the Queen Mother's order. Even if he was the emperor, how could he say that he was usurped? You little censor, how dare you denounce me directly. Come on, take him down and behead him outside the hall immediately!"

The two were dragged out by the guards, and they still heard Governor Lin scolding loudly: "The thief overestimates his power and dares to covet the big treasure. Today the thief kills me, and tomorrow the court will kill the thief!"

The curses gradually faded away, and the hall was silent. After a while, two guards walked into the hall with two bloody heads, knelt down on one knee and raised the head high, and said, "Report to the prince, the offender Lin Jun, Zhong Liangming has already been sentenced!"

The officials looked at each other and saw that the two officials who were still angry and scolding just now only had one head left, and their hair was lifted up, and their necks were covered with blood and flesh, so they couldn't help but look as if they were so scared.

King Ning smiled sinisterly, glanced at the officials, and said with a grim voice: "There is still the one who dares to question the authenticity of the Queen Mother's order, stand up!"

There was a silence in the palace, and no one dared to stand up again. King Ning showed his glory and said, "I want to lead the troops back to the court and restore the royal family. Can you please serve the people and make contributions together?"

Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, and the land governor Zhang Lun and others were knelt down first. Some people took the lead and this kind of defense would be easily compromised. On the one hand, in order to survive, and on the other hand, most of the officials knelt down with the idea of ​​deceiving themselves according to the will of the empress dowager. There were only a few officials, but more than ten people stood there and did not want to kneel down and rebel, nor did they dare to protest to be a loyal minister beheaded. They were very pitiful.

King Ning was not polite and immediately ordered people to imprison all these hesitant centrists in the royal palace. At this time, the civil and military officials in the palace were considered to be the ones who surrendered to him. Liu Yangzheng said loudly: "Prince, the Queen Mother ordered you to supervise the country, which clearly means passing the throne to you. Now that we are sending troops to fight against rebellion, the so-called "unrighteous name" will not be followed. Zhengde is not qualified to be the emperor at all. If you raise an army as the prince, what status will Zhengde be? "

These were all discussed in advance. Wang Ning immediately asked when he heard this, "So, according to what Mr. Liu saw, what should I do?"

Liu Yangzheng immediately said: "For the sake of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, in order to be able to justify the usurpation of the country and rebellion, and restore the Ming royal family. I think the prince should immediately ascend the throne and call on the Ming Dynasty subjects to attack Zhengde, so that he can do everything he can."

Li Shishi, Zhang Lun and others responded shamelessly, but the other officials could not understand the joints. When they saw that King Ning looked at him with threatening eyes, they had to bite the bullet and kneel down and urge him. King Ning repeatedly refused, and in helplessness, he had to obey the public opinion. He threw his beard and sighed: "Forget it, that lonely... I will take on this important task for my Ming Dynasty country and country."

Ning Wang Zhi was very talented, but his work was very prosperous and efficient. He immediately moved to Yin'an Hall, and a middle-aged official brought him the crown and dragon robe that had already been prepared and put on the spot.

The civil and military officials below saw that this posture did not seem to have a temporary intention to ascend the throne? It was obvious that they had prepared for a long time. That authentic dragon robe could not be made in less than a year, but no one dared to point it out. They knelt down on the ground and shouted long live the whole thing under the command of the central government.

Li Shishi spent a night writing a local anti-rebellion manifesto to be read as the palace. He removed the Zhengde reign title and ascended the throne as emperor. He was named Shunde, and was named Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng as the left and right prime minister. He was appointed Duke. He also appointed Jiangxi governor Zhang Lun as the Minister of War. The civil and military officials who came to celebrate the birthday of King Ning's concubine were rewarded, but the real power to command the troops was not dared to hand over to them.

At the command of King Ning, bandits from all mountains and villages who had been waiting outside Yin'an Hall for a long time went to the hall to see the emperor. King Ning appointed Dongting thief Yang Ziqiao as the general governor of the army, Dagouzi as the deputy governor, Wu Ersi and Ling Tai as the commander of the capital. He also appointed Wang Sengyu, the leader of the Hongying Society, as the master master, Li Zuotong as the deputy master, and Yang Qing as the chief master, each leading the army. The great wizard Li Natural was the great wizard protecting the country.

The local official positions awarded in Yin'an Hall include the rank of the court and the title of Jianghu Gang, which sounds inconsistent. Their respective ranks cannot be determined. The civil and military officials who had just surrendered frowned and did not dare to expect that such a Prince Ning would have the great talent of King Yan Zhu Di, who could seize the country successfully. However, if they do not follow the rules, they will immediately die, and they can only take one step at a time.

King Ning also sent someone to copy Li Shishi's manifesto of tens of thousands, which listed the twenty major crimes of Zhengde, the first of which was to pretend to be the descendants of the late emperor. King Ning ordered people to post it everywhere in the city, and sent many spies to Jiujiang, Anqing, Ji'an and other places to post it to create momentum. At the same time, they ordered officials from all over the country to surrender to the new emperor and become founding heroes.

The three guards of Ning Wang should have been around 18,000, but after he mastered the three guards, he secretly expanded. The Ming army's fine tradition was to get empty salary, but Ning Wang did the opposite. There were only 18,000 people on the list, but the actual recruitment army had doubled, and he used his own money to pay them private salary.

At the same time, the water thieves in Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, bandits from mainland Jiangxi, Nanchang and other local gangs temporarily recruited local gangsters and released local death row criminals from prisons, and formed a team of about 30,000 people. In this way, the troops of King Ning reached 70,000.

King Ning ordered people to follow the officials back to the yamen and collect their seals. All military and political affairs came from the Ningwang Mansion. At the same time, they organized the servants, constables, patrols and militias from various local yamen. They raised another 20,000 people, a total of 90,000 troops, and claimed to be 150,000 to the public.

Over the years in Jiangxi, King Mengning recommended and recommended, and bought many officials. Moreover, the propaganda momentum created by King Ning and the illusion of a large army gathered after the uprising. The illusion of strong troops and horses also confused some fences and speculators. There were actually many officials from the county and county around who came to surrender, which greatly increased King Ning's confidence, so he decided to send troops immediately to attack Nanzhili.

Nanchang City, a major base, is extremely dangerous and the surrounding palaces have no power to threaten them, so King Ning only left five thousand soldiers, plus Prince Ning's prince Zhu Cong and his brothers and nephews, the princes, the princes, the princes, formed an army of 10,000 people to defend the city.

When Zhu Di raised an army to rebel, the imperial general Li Jinglong also led his army to attack Beiping, the foundation of King Yan. The guardian of Beiping was Zhu Gaochi, the son of Zhu Di. Zhu Gaochi defended Beiping surrounded by hundreds of thousands with a very small force, thus effectively supporting Zhu Di's military operations and completing the great cause of the Jingnan Dynasty. King Ning is now obviously boasting of himself as the second King of Yan.

Three days later, Emperor Shunde, Zhu Chenhao, had just ascended the base, led an army of '150,000' and advanced at the same time, and rushed to Nanzhili in a mighty manner. The first stop of Jiujiang was broken in one day. The "Shunde Army" was very morale and arrogant.

Emperor Shunde and King Ning Zhu Chenhao's confidence continued to expand. He believed that he could establish his capital in Nanjing in ten days and compete with Beijing. So he quickly sent someone to return to Nanchang and brought him all the concubines and concubines. After he was about to move into Nanjing Imperial City, he immediately enfeoffed the three palaces and six courtyards and 72 concubines, and made the emperor's name.

At the same time, the army in other places continued to advance without stopping. The point of the military front was that it was the water and land to rush into Anqing. This was the gateway to Nanjing. Since ancient times, those who used troops down the Yangtze River would have to seize Anqing, Nanjing would be the thing in their pocket.

When the confident King Ning, accompanied by Prince, Yibin and others, climbed to the top of the boat, and posed as a father-son soldier, looked at Anqing, who was about to arrive, and showed a smile that was already in his pocket, Wu Dahuzi, accompanied by his son and wife, also walked up to the top of the city.
