Chapter 483
The men and horses brought by those nobles before were not so brave and fearless, so every time they left the men and horses, they were able to block the pursuers.

However, this time it was obviously beyond Yang Dai's expectations, especially when Yang Dai saw that hundreds of elite troops were so easily overwhelmed by the cavalry, Yang Dai subconsciously exclaimed.

With a flick of the spear in his hand, blood splashed everywhere, Chen Ang seemed to feel Yang Dai's gaze, and looked towards Yang Dai instantly.

The two sides were separated by dozens of feet, even though there were a lot of soldiers separated during the period, but Chen Ang clearly saw Yang Dai and the carriage in front of him.

It can be said that there are only a few carriages in the rebellious army, and they all have carriages to sit in when they are escaping, obviously their status is not ordinary.

When he saw the carriages protected in the middle, Chen Ang couldn't help being shocked, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Chen Ang slammed the war horse under him, he shouted loudly: "King Ning, don't leave, and he will be captured if he is not tied up!"

"King Ning, go away, King Ning, go away!"

A group of soldiers following Chen Ang roared loudly, thousands of people shouted together, the momentum was extremely terrifying.

The rebel soldiers who were originally guarding around King Ning's carriage were also taken aback, and many of them had expressions of fear on their faces.

This time, even King Ning, who was hiding in the carriage, seemed to feel that something was wrong.

King Ning leaned out to look at the dignified Yang Dai and said, "General Yang, what happened?"

Yang Dai took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The prince will go first, and the general will cut off the queen himself at the end!"

The previous few times, Yang Dai ordered someone to lead the army to kill the queen, and King Ning was used to Yang Dai leading the army around him, but this time when he heard that Yang Dai was going to personally lead the army to kill the queen, King Ning couldn't help but look surprised After a change, he exclaimed: "What, what does General Yang mean by this!"

Not only King Ning, but even Wang Jia, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng all showed serious expressions at this time, and turned their eyes to Yang Dai.

Wang Jia said in a deep voice: "General Yang actually wants to cut off the heir himself. Could it be that this time the chasing troops..."

Yang Dai smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Mr. Wang Ge, I'm afraid this time it will be troublesome. The people who came here are elites from the imperial court. The hundreds of elites left behind by the last general were killed in a blink of an eye. If the last general does not If you personally lead the troops to break the rear, I'm afraid... I'm afraid no one will be able to stop the pursuers."

Speaking of this, Yang Dai didn't care about the changes in the expressions of King Ning and the others, and immediately bowed to King Ning and said: "Please leave first, the prince will stop the pursuers with all his might."

After speaking, Yang Dai shouted at some of his subordinates: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

At this time, the commander of King Ning's personal guards looked at Yang Dai who led the army to meet the pursuers, and immediately shouted: "Protect the prince, go!"

With a bang, the two forces collided, and Yang Dai fought against Chen Ang in an instant.

Yang Dai's self-cultivation is not bad, but compared with Chen Anglai, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he is not as good as Chen Anglai, who is experienced in fighting. It was only a few rounds, Chen Ang made a false move, and directly sent the spear into Yang Dai. heart.

Looking at the long spear that had sunk into his heart, Yang Dai showed a bit of bitterness on his face, and blood flowed out of his mouth. He slowly turned his head to look in the direction of King Ning's carriage, and murmured: "My lord, I will try my best..."

Ignoring Yang Dai, Chen Ang drew back his spear, and swept away the rebel soldiers standing in front of him with a sweep, and shouted at the same time: "Capture King Ning alive, and make great achievements now!"

"Capture King Ning alive, capture King Ning alive!"

King Ning and others, who had fled in a hurry, hurried on their way frantically under the protection of the guards, and the sound of chasing soldiers shouting to kill was faintly heard behind them.

Suddenly the carriage shook violently, and then the carriage in the gallop collapsed, and several figures fell out of the carriage, and rolled on the ground several times in a state of embarrassment before stopping.

"My lord, my lord..."

Several personal guards stepped forward with horror on their faces, and helped King Ning up from the ground, who was like a rolling gourd.

At this time, King Ning was even more embarrassed, even the clothes on his body were covered with dust, and even his forehead was scratched without knowing where it was bumped, and the blood flowed and stained it red.

Wang Jia, Li Shishi, and Liu Yangzheng also got up from the ground one by one, looking behind them with a little despair.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and even the court soldiers and horses catching up could be seen.

And there are only a hundred people left on their side who are still following up, and even the few carriages that followed King Ning before have disappeared at the moment, apparently they chose Tong Ning in the process of fleeing just now. Wang parted ways.

Except for some people who were deeply involved with King Ning, there were only a dozen people following King Ning at this time, and less than a hundred guards.

King Ning looked at everything around him, with a look of despair on his face.

"My lord, let's go!"

Li Shishi shouted at King Ning with a look of panic.

However, King Ning looked at the people around him, and at the court pursuers who had already caught up, he shook his head slowly and said, "I can't escape!"

Not only King Ning could see this, it could be said that everyone present could see that, with their strength, they were all exhausted, even if they fled, they might not be able to walk for a few miles.

Chen Ang, who was chasing after him, couldn't help laughing excitedly when he saw King Ning and the others who finally stopped in front of him.

The great credit of capturing King Ning alive is enough for him to be promoted to a noble, and he can enjoy inexhaustible wealth and glory.

Of course, Chen Ang, as one of Li Huan's confidantes, also knew that with the capture of King Ning alive, it meant that the rebellion of King Ning, which stirred up half of the south of the Yangtze River, would be settled.

"Take down everyone, but if there are rebels, kill them without mercy!"

Immediately, a group of cavalry drove forward and quickly surrounded the crowd.

"kill!"

A few figures rushed out, but what was waiting for them were dozens of arrows, and in an instant those figures were shot into hedgehogs.

As these few people were shot and killed on the spot, the remaining people were all silent as if they were chilling and let the soldiers step forward to tie them up.

When several soldiers stepped forward and tried to take down King Ning, King Ning shouted: "Bold, I am the royal clan, you wait for An to bully me like this!"

It turned out that those soldiers wanted to tie up King Ning like the others, but they were all scolded by King Ning. The soldiers stopped subconsciously and looked at Chen Ang.

Seeing Chen Ang stepping forward and kicking King Ning's knee, there was a sudden sharp pain, and King Ning fell to his knees with a thud, while Chen Ang said with a bit of disdain: "Er Mou Rebellious, even dare to call themselves the royal family."

Speaking of which, Chen Ang said to those soldiers: "Don't tie them up for me yet."

Nanjing City

As the sky brightened, the King Ning's rebel camp outside the city gradually returned to calm, but looking at it now, most of the huge camp had been destroyed, and flames were still burning in many places.

Teams of rebel soldiers gathered in one place under the supervision of the imperial soldiers and horses and were escorted into a temporary camp.

Li Huan, who had been busy for most of the night, was watching this scene with Xu Yu and others, when a sound of horseshoes came from a distance, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Huan, Xu Yu and others.

Seeing two soldiers galloping forward, they got off their horses under Li Huan's commander-in-chief's flag. Captured King Ning and his party alive, and are now escorting King Ning and others back."

This battle can be said to be a great victory, the only question is whether King Ning can escape, but at this moment, after hearing what the messenger said, both Li Huan and Xu Yu couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Xu Yu even stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, since King Ning has been arrested, we can finally report to the emperor, and the chaos of King Ning has been put down!"

Li Huan nodded slightly and smiled, "What Duke Wei said is true."

While speaking, a cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Since King Ning has been arrested, it's time for the imperial court to liquidate the thieves and raid their families to deter the world."

"Forehead……"

Hearing Li Huan's murderous words, Xu Chu couldn't help being shocked, and even the smile on his face faded a little.

Although Xu Yu also knew that King Ning's rebellion had stirred up half of the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know that the local tycoons, aristocratic families, and officials were involved, and the court would definitely liquidate these people, but when Li Huan mentioned this matter at this time, it still made Xu Chu I felt a bloody wind blowing towards my face.

Any fool can imagine that under the liquidation of the imperial court, how many people in the vast Jiangnan will have their families destroyed, their heads will fall, and the inheritance of tens of hundreds of years will be cut off.

Li Huan looked at Xu Yu and said slowly, "I still need the old man's help at that time!"

Xu Wu took a deep breath and nodded under Li Huan's gaze: "Xu is naturally obliged, and will definitely want to help Champion Hou wipe out all the traitors."

Autumn of the fifth year of Zhengde

As the news of King Ning's rebellion spread throughout the world, the atmosphere in the capital became quite dignified.

Especially as King Ning's momentum in the south of the Yangtze River became stronger and stronger, and even swept across most of the south of the Yangtze River, when the news that hundreds of thousands of rebels had gathered was spread to the capital, the huge court was shaken.

However, as King Ning became more and more powerful, the tens of thousands of court troops led by Li Huan to suppress the rebellion were marching extremely slowly. The distance that could have been covered in a month took several times longer.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that the fundamental reason why King Ning's rebel army has been able to set off such a big momentum, and even faintly show a tendency to end is that the imperial court's counter-insurgency army has been unable to arrive.

Some people can see the fundamental purpose of Li Huan's slow march, but they cannot accept Li Huan's use of such means to wipe out people and forces in the south of the Yangtze River who have resentment towards the court.

Coupled with a group of officials who don't know the reason, it can be said that a series of memorials to impeach Li Huan flew into the imperial city, almost flooding the cabinet.

These people wrote to the emperor to impeach Li Huan for delaying the military plane, and watched King Ning grow up, so that the south of the Yangtze River was corrupt, and asked the emperor to put Li Huan in prison and punish him severely.

It can be said that for a while, the officials above the court, nine out of ten, shouted at Li Huanna, wanting to lock Li Huan back to Beijing immediately, ransack his family and exterminate his family, as if Li Huan had committed a heinous crime generally.

However, in the face of the civil and military impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor seemed to have not seen it. He did not publish the memorials to impeach Li Huan, and even sent his servants to Li Huan's mansion several times to give gold, silver, jade and silk. .

On this day, in the imperial study room, the emperor was discussing matters with several important officials of Wang Yangming.

After the government affairs were handled, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and he seemed much more relaxed.

Glancing at the several important ministers present, these people can be regarded as ministers trusted by Zhu Houzhao. Although they are not among the six ministers and nine ministers, they are all high-ranking officials at the level of ministers. A department hall.

Now the court is obviously divided into two factions, one is conservative officials who resist reform, and the other is naturally officials who follow the emperor and support the emperor's reform.

Although the number of conservative officials is huge, and they can even overwhelm the officials who support the reform faction above the court, but the reform faction has the support of the emperor. As long as the emperor's position remains unchanged, it is conceivable which side is more trusted .

"Wang Aiqing, I wonder if there is any news from Li Qing?"

Although there was news about Dongchang Jinyiwei, the emperor would definitely be the first to know about any news from Jiangnan, but Zhu Houzhao still couldn't help asking about news about Jiangnan.

Wang Yangming coughed lightly and said, "Return to Your Majesty, last time the Champion Marquis received news that the army had entered the border of the south of the Yangtze River. It is expected that news will come soon."

Yan Song, the newly appointed servant of the Ministry of Rites, said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, knows people and makes good use of them. He takes the champion as his commander. The champion is proficient in military affairs and leads tens of thousands of elite troops. Since he enters the south of the Yangtze River, the mere rebels must not be opponents. Your Majesty just Waiting for the good news from the champion Hou."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yan Song and said, "I just didn't expect that there would be so many people who harbored resentment towards the imperial court in Jiangnan. Fortunately, King Ning raised his troops to lure these people out. Otherwise, if things go on like this, there will be no With the matter of King Ning, there will inevitably be turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River."

If it is said that Zhu Houzhao hoped for a quick battle to put down King Ning's rebellion, but as King Ning's momentum in the south of the Yangtze River became stronger and stronger, a large number of local tyrants, gentry, and officials joined the rebel army of King Ning Only then did Zhu Houzhao discover in horror that there are so many people and forces who are alienated from the imperial court in the huge Jiangnan.

As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao used to only feel that the imperial court had insufficient control over the Jiangnan land, but he did not discover the great hidden dangers hidden in it.

Now King Ning's rebellion has swept across the south of the Yangtze River in a short period of time, and hundreds of thousands of rebels have no shortage of food, fodder and soldiers. Zhu Houzhao can realize what this means if he is not a faint king.

Therefore, the mentality of the emperor has changed. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao might have sent someone to deliver an order to Li Huan before Li Huan entered the south of the Yangtze River, ordering Li Huan to put down the rebellion of King Ning as soon as possible, and he would not be acting like he is now. Li Huan blocked the impeachment of all the officials in the court, allowing Li Huan to play freely in the south of the Yangtze River.
