Nanchang.
Although Zuo Liangyu did not fight openly to become the king, he basically controlled Jiujiang, Nankang and Nanchang.
All the officials who knew the current affairs remained the same, and almost all the indomitable civil servants and military generals were expelled or even killed by Zuo Liangyu under various excuses.
Since Zuo Liangyu has been greedy since he retired from Changsha, he can be said to be strong at this time, and his ambition began to expand with the soldiers in his hands. If he had not been afraid of Lu Xiangsheng, he would have been king long ago.
At this time, in the hall of the Earl's residence in Nanchang, Zuo Liangyu sat at the top. On the left was a group of literati, including the second childe of Wu. Most of these literati were classmates and friends of the second childe of Wu.
On the right is a group of generals.
This kind of battle seems to be approaching a small temple, but it's still not right after all.
"Marshal, the Qin army's attack on the Chu army is the best time for our army to seek Huguang. Once missed, there will be no chance."
"Yes, marshal, King Hua has the ambition to swallow the world. Once he wins the three houses in Changsha this time, the next one to attack must be Jiujiang Nanchang. Instead of waiting for passive defense at that time, it's better to take the opportunity to attack."
"It's nonsense. If the Chinese army is so easy to fight, the eight kings and Lu Xiangsheng won't run away last time. Now the Chinese army and the Chu army are in a fierce fight. If our army cuts in horizontally, what if it provokes the Chinese king to give up attacking Changsha and attack Nanchang Jiujiang first?"
"Yes, although the main force of the Chinese army has gone to fight Yuezhou, there are still a large number of soldiers and horses near Wuchang. On the contrary, Nanjing is very empty. According to the general, it's better to take this opportunity to directly wave troops eastward and win Nanjing at one fell swoop."
After a while, the hall was full of noise. Most of the second childe of Wu and a group of scholars advocated taking the opportunity to attack Wuchang, but the generals and a few scholars advocated taking Nanjing.
Zuo Liangyu actually wants to fight Nanjing, because Jiangnan is not only the richest, with many beautiful women and countless money and grain, but also can directly claim the emperor after fighting Nanjing.
However, Chongzhen has just promoted him to the rank of nobility. If he goes to fight Nanjing, he will not only become an unknown teacher, but also become a disorderly subject and thief despised by everyone. In addition, Lu Xiangsheng has recruited more than 100000 in Jiangbei, so he has always made up his mind.
But he also knew that he could not wait any longer. The position of Jiangxi was very embarrassing. At this time, the Qin army went to attack Changsha. He either went to Wuchang or Nanjing. There was no other way.
As for staying in Jiangxi to consolidate the territory, there is absolutely no way out. I haven't heard of any hero who can reign in Jiangxi and finally win the world since ancient times.
"Commander, Lu Xiangsheng is crazy recruiting troops and building warships in the north of the river. At this time, when he moves eastward, Tianxiong army must not be our opponent, but if he drags on, the victory or defeat will be unpredictable.
Moreover, a while ago, he also wanted to contact the civil and military officials in the south of the Yangtze River. The gentry and landlords played together to move the capital to Nanjing. Once his majesty really moved the capital to Nanjing, it would be difficult for the commander to plot in the south of the Yangtze River.
The marshal is nothing more than an unknown teacher now. It's not difficult to solve it. "
A middle-aged scholar seemed to see Zuo Liangyu's Dilemma and said with an arch hand.
"Oh, according to Mr. Huang, what should Ben Shuai do?" Zuo Liangyu heard the speech, his eyes lit up and sat up straight.
"Surely the marshal is no stranger to King Ning's rebellion?" The middle-aged scholar touched the short beard under his jaw and smiled.
"Ha ha, yes, at the beginning, Emperor Wuzong was fatuous and hoodwinked by the eunuch of the treacherous minister. King Ning set up troops and almost captured Nanjing. Today, his Majesty was also hoodwinked by the treacherous minister, resulting in the danger of the Ming River and mountains. My commander was deeply favored by the emperor. Although he didn't want to sit back and watch the Ming River and mountains perish in the hands of the treacherous minister, it's a pity that Ning fan has been cut off, alas!"
Zuo Liangyu was not stupid. He suddenly woke up and said more and more vigorously. At last, he sighed a long sigh.
"Commander-in-chief, although Ning fan has been cut, his highness King Yi is also a virtuous generation with profound righteousness. Students are willing to wait for him. I believe his highness King Yi will not stand idly by and watch the Ming River and mountains die at the head of treacherous officials."
The middle-aged scribe immediately volunteered to answer.
"Well, I'll trouble you, sir. If this is done, I will be rewarded in the future!" Zuo Liangyu clapped the handrail and stood up. No one could see the excitement in his eyes.
Mr. Wu's face was iron blue. He hated the middle-aged scholar's teeth. He launched a prince and attacked Nanjing under the banner of Jingnan. He had thought of this for a long time.
The reason why I haven't mentioned it is that I don't want the marshal to fight in Nanjing. Who ever thought that he was picked up by this man for nothing.
The Yi king has been in Jianchang mansion in Jiangxi since the Chenghua period. It has been eight generations. Zhu Citu, the current Yi king, is a nephew of Chongzhen.
Although the tradition of the Ming Dynasty was opposed by his uncle and nephew, after the removal of King Ning in Nanchang, there was only king Yi left in Jiangxi, so Zuo Liangyu couldn't manage so much, as long as there was a prince.
Although Nanchang mansion is not close to Jianchang mansion, it is not far away. The middle-aged scholar surnamed Huang and named Rui, a native of Jiangxi, with a group of guards and attendants, killed Jianchang mansion in just three days.
Although he knew he was a puppet, the emperor's throne was too tempting. In addition, Daming was really dying. In today's situation, Nanjing really needed a Zhu family to sit in order to avoid being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. Therefore, Zhu citui failed to resist the temptation after all. After a hurry, he followed Huang Rui to Nanchang.
Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed and personally took a group of military generals, civil servants, gentry and landlords out of the city to meet him.
Three days later, he launched the banner of Jingnan and issued a call to arms in the name of King Yi.
It has to be said that with a prince, the influence is huge and the effect is remarkable.
First of all, most of the civilian and military generals in Jiangxi sent people to Nanchang to express their support for King Yi. Some scholars also moved at the news, and the gentry and landlords began to become active.
After all, the current situation is there. If we can support King Yi to ascend the throne in Nanjing, it is really beneficial to Kuang Fu Daming. As for whether the emperor will be a puppet in Zuo Liangyu's hands, everyone will not care.
All the people wanted was just a piece of shame cloth. Following Zuo Liangyu, who was called rebellion and disorderly officials and thieves, was to leave a reputation for thousands of years.
But the Zhu family's own people are different. After success, it is called the Minister of humerus.
Zuo Liangyu didn't delay much. Half a month after the banner was put out, almost the news had spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. He started a land and water army of 150000. Similarly, land and water went hand in hand, and he was killed to Nanjing. Basically, all the States and counties he passed were called on.
No way, the connection between the capital and Jiangnan has been cut off for more than half a year. Coupled with the continuous deterioration of the situation, people have long been terrified in the States and counties in the south that have not been occupied by anti thieves.
