Chapter 2395 Gui Zi Juan Showdown, Persuasion

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 Division 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 Beijing, but Jia Jing was the only one who could not go because he was in the imperial court and 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 much on this matter. Let Jia Jing escape from his shell by feigning death, which meant that unless Nanjing won a comprehensive victory, Jia Jing could no longer 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 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 distinguish 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 words you will have to waste. Dong Weng said that this guy forgets his duty when he sees 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 old Denglai army.

Regardless of whether the opponent is moving down the river or stationed in Jiujiang, this problem must be faced. If Wang Ziteng's Lao Denglai Army can be eliminated, then the two Niu and Sun troops 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 ready to fight the Denlai army that wanted to move eastward from Jiujiang, if the Denlai army intended to move eastward by water.

However, both Feng Ziying and Shen Yourong knew that in this situation, 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 used as living 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 replied quickly 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 imperial court may not agree to keep them, and he himself 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 resisting. The battle is fierce. Zhisheng has ordered Cao Wenzhao to send troops to join You Shiwei to the west, preparing to attack Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu. The situation in Jiangbei will not change much. I just feel that it is a pity that elites like the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army were wiped out like this."

Feng Ziying sighed, "We were originally elites from the border towns, but they killed each other. Why is it like this? Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu didn't understand 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 what if Wang Ziteng jumps over the wall in a hurry and wants to..."

Feng Ziying waved her hands with a nonchalant expression, "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 an unlucky place..." Wang Wenyan was still a little hesitant. The stakes are really too high. Feng Ziying's safety is related to the survival of the entire group. A gentleman will not build a dangerous wall when the situation is overwhelming. Under certain circumstances, there is really no need to take such risks.

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 nothing. I will definitely not be the one who commits 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. 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 Yi Zhong 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 live 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, dressed in a blue robe, stood 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 get? 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 That’s fine. Well, all that’s left is a nondescript Northwest Army coach. I guess after this battle, my father will probably have to go to the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion to have a leisurely meal.”

　　Feng Ziying has a nice smile, but her words are extraordinarily magnanimous.

Wizi Teng'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 your descendants can continue to go to high school like you for generations?"

"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 warriors do it? From Long Wuxun to border martial arts, and now it is gradually dominated by poor families in martial arts. This Isn’t this trend still obvious? Those who are still obsessed with the old glory of the past have to be eliminated. Only by recognizing the situation clearly can we find the one that suits us best.”

Wang Ziteng could not 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 line? 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 During the reign of Emperor Yonglong, did the cabinet begin to revive? You warriors neither expanded the territory nor defended the enemy. How did the Renchen Revolution go? How did you perform in Liaodong against the Jianzhou Jurchens? Tumut and Chaha Have you suppressed our people? Even when the Japanese pirates harassed the sea, you behaved poorly. Why should 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.
