Jia Yucun's whole body was shaken, and he couldn't believe it. Jia Jing? This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually defected to the imperial court? How can this be? ! Isn't he Prince Yoshitaka's most reliable confidant? How dare you do such a thing?
Jiang Waterproof Admiral Gan Guobao was recommended by Jia Jing, and Jia Yucun knew this.
Although the Jiang Water Division does not have many boats and cannot be compared with the Denglai Navy, it is still the most powerful navy around Nanjing. The river from the mouth of the North-South Canal to Nanjing is usually his territory, helping households It is his job to guard Chao Pass and investigate smuggling. This is why Jia Jing, who is the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, wants to control this force. But when it comes to fighting, he doesn't know whether he can go into battle.
Almost all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River followed Prince Yi Zhong, Tang Mu, Zhu Gu and others to the capital, but Jia Jing was the only one who could not go because he was in the imperial court, with Long Jinwei, and had long since "died" of illness in Xuanzhen Temple. He is a dead person in the court, and there is no such person anymore.
If this person is allowed to appear openly in the court, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the court, which is absolutely unacceptable to the court.
Even Prince Yi Zhong couldn't say anything more on this matter. Let Jia Jing escape from his shell by feigning death, which meant that unless Nanjing won a comprehensive victory, Jia Jing would no longer be able to appear in the court.
Now there is such a weird way of compromise between the north and the south. Relatively speaking, Prince Yi Zhong only wants to keep the throne and keep the throne of his lineage, so other aspects can be abandoned, so Jia Jing can only say sorry .
Of course, the court will not kill Jia Jing, and Jia Jing has already been connected to the court through Feng Ziying early, so let Jia Jing stay in Jinling and be a silent invisible man. , everyone turns a blind eye, which is an acceptable result.
Naturally, Jia Yucun didn't know the tacit understanding here. He was just shocked that Jia Jing was able to get in touch with the court, and also assisted the court in controlling Jiang Waterproof. It seemed that there were really many smart people, and he was not alone. Only then did I understand the principle of betting on both sides.
Seeing the look of disbelief on Jia Yucun's face, Wang Wenyan also laughed, "Brother Yucun, there is no need to be so surprised. They are both working for the imperial court, so why should we differentiate between them? Besides, the imperial court will not allow the appearance of feudal towns in any case. This Even after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will still hold this view. Presumably, the Jiangnan gentry are not willing to have a vassal town sitting on their heads, right?"
Jia Yucun finally woke up from the shock and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. Since Ziying has a complete plan, there is no problem. I will go and visit the guards here to try to settle them down." Inside the camp gate,
You have to show some strength to impress this guy, otherwise you don't know how much more talk you will have to waste. Dong Weng said that this guy forgets his duty for small profits, but it is true to say that he cherishes his life when he does big things.
Then everything fell into place. Jia Yucun went to the Nanjing Guards Yamen to stabilize the Guards, while Jia Jing went to the Jiang Waterproof Division Yamen and asked the Jiang Waterproof Division fleet to return to the dock, all the way to Denglai Navy arrival. Retaking Nanjing was simpler and easier than imagined. Even the war in Yangzhou seemed like a chaos compared to the Nanjing one.
But Feng Ziying knew that the crisis had not been completely resolved, and the greatest danger was still upstream, Wang Ziteng's Lao Denglai Army.
Regardless of whether the opponent is moving down the river or stationed in Jiujiang, this problem will have to be faced. If Wang Ziteng's Lao Denglai Army can be eliminated, then the Niu and Sun Divisions facing him will be unable to support themselves and will quickly fall apart. .
Shen Yourong led the Denglai navy to move westward and arrived at the Dasheng Pass line. Near Dasheng Pass, they were preparing to fight the Denlai army that intended to move eastward from Jiujiang, if the Denlai army intended to move eastward by water.
However, both Feng Ziying and Shen Yourong knew that under such circumstances, it was impossible for Wang Ziteng to let the Denglai army sail south to face the Denglai navy. Not only would they be fighting with each other, but they would also be serving as targets for their opponents to die.
"Wen Yan, please read this letter." Feng Ziying handed it to Wang Wenyan, "I asked Deng Feng to go to Jiujiang when we captured Yangzhou. Wang Ziteng wrote back soon and hoped to meet."
Wang Wenyan took Feng Ziying's letter and read it briefly.
"What kind of result does he hope to get?" Wang Wenyan said thoughtfully after reading the letter: "He should know that the three towns in the south of the Yangtze River are purely an illusion and cannot exist anymore. Although the soldiers in Lao Denglai Town can be regarded as They are elites, but the court may not agree to retain them, and he wants to fight for something for himself, which may be too much for his appetite." "My father is launching an offensive in the north, but Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu are still fighting stubbornly. The situation of the battle is It was fierce. Zhisheng had already ordered Cao Wenzhao to send troops to the west together with You Shiwei, preparing to attack Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu. The situation in Jiangbei would not change much. I just felt that it was a pity that the elite Xuanfu Army and Datong Army were wiped out in this way. Already."
Feng Ziying sighed, "We were originally elites from the border town, but they killed each other. Why is it like this? Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu didn't know the current affairs, and they dragged it like this..."
"Then you mean to go see Wang Ziteng and prepare to persuade him?" Wang Wenyan looked at Feng Ziying, a little worried, "But if Wang Ziteng jumps over the wall in a hurry, he wants to..."
Feng Ziying waved her hands, with a nonchalant look on her face, "What can Wang Ziteng do, hold me hostage, or kill me? Not to mention whether he can do it, even if he can do it, by holding me hostage, will the court agree to his conditions?" What else can you achieve by killing me besides angering my father and fighting him until death? How could a man as experienced and profound as Wang Ziteng do such an unwise thing?" "But the Wujiang Town he chose is really a bad place. It's such an auspicious place..." Wang Wenyan still hesitated. The stakes were too high. Feng Ziying's safety was related to the survival of the entire group. A gentleman would not set up a dangerous wall. Under the situation where the situation has been decided, there is really no need. To take that risk.
Wujiang Town is the place where Overlord Xiang Yu committed suicide. I think this place is unlucky as a meeting point. It is under the control of Wang Ziteng, but it is also a marginal area. The old Denglai army temporarily stopped at Hezhou and did not enter Jinling. within the territory of the government.
"It's okay. I will definitely not be the one who committed suicide. I also believe that Wang Ziteng will not commit suicide. This guy is old and strong, and Niu Jizong is about the same." Feng Ziying smiled, "I also wrote to Niu Jizong, hoping that he would assess the situation. Take the initiative to surrender and seek pardon from the imperial court."
Wang Wenyan also laughed, "Sir, can you make them put down their weapons just by asking for forgiveness?"
"Haha, if you are a smart person, you will know that the general trend is irreversible, so why should you destroy yourself by throwing an egg at a stone? There are still a large family in the Niu family and the Wang family. Besides, isn't Prince Yichuan going to the throne soon? He can just wait for the pardon. Feng Ziying smiled and said, "The imperial court only wants to eradicate the three towns in the south of the Yangtze River and prevent the emergence of vassal towns. It does not want to kill Niu Wang Chen and others. They should understand this truth and enjoy their old age in peace in the capital city." Okay? It’s better to live and die than live.”
Feng Ziying's words also left Wang Ziteng speechless at the meeting point outside the Bawang Temple in Wujiang Town.
Wang Ziteng had thought that Feng Ziying would come, but he was so bold and came with just a few guards. He still admired the other party's courage. If it were him, he would have to think carefully before reaching this position at such a young age. Dare to set foot.
"Ziying, are you really not afraid that I will turn against you?" Wang Ziteng was wearing a blue robe, standing with his hands behind his back, side by side with Feng Ziying.
"Shibo, I've already said it, whether you kill me or take me down, what can you ask for? The cabinet will not give up on their decision just because of me. This is the decision of the entire scholar group, not Regarding you or Niu Jizong personally, they will never allow Fanzhen with independent momentum to appear. Well, this even includes my father's Northwest Army. Look, wasn't my father's three governors dismissed long ago? Now the governor of Jiliao Well, there is only one nondescript Northwest Army coach left. I guess after this battle is over, my father may have to go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to have a leisurely meal." Feng Ziying smiled brightly, but her words were particularly interesting. magnanimous.
Wang Ziteng's eyes narrowed, "Then you just sit back and watch this situation happen? Can civil servants allow you, the Feng family, to be ministers for generations? You can study, but can your descendants continue to go to high school like you?"
"Of course not. Isn't the purpose of the imperial examination system to prevent the hereditary inheritance of civil servants?" Feng Ziying smiled. "But can military personnel do it?" It evolved from Long Wuxun to border martial arts, and now it is gradually dominated by poor families in martial arts. Isn't this trend still obvious? Still addicted to the old glory of the past
Only those who want to be eliminated can find the one that suits them best by recognizing the situation clearly. "
Wang Ziteng couldn't see through the person in front of him.
If you say that this guy only wanted to become a civil servant, then that would be fine. However, this guy held the title of Marquis of Hulun and Uncle of Yunchuan for the Feng family. Isn't this just for passing on the family? Now you are saying these salty and tasteless words. What do you mean?
"Shibo, prosperity must come with decline. Wu Xun warriors were at their peak during the reign of Emperor Yuan Xi. Even the cabinet was suppressed to the point of being breathless. This made it difficult for Shilin scholars to accept. Don't you think that from the late period of Emperor Yuan Xi Did the cabinet begin to revive during the reign of Emperor Yonglong? Your warriors neither opened up new territories nor defended against enemy invaders. How was the Renchen Revolution? How did you perform in Liaodong against the Jianzhou Jurchens? Tumut and Chaha Have you suppressed our people? Even when Japanese pirates invaded the sea areas, you performed poorly, so why should you let the people support you?"
Feng Ziying's tone became more and more indifferent, as if he was commenting on something that had nothing to do with him.
