King Ning held a royal meeting and cursed the "ministers".
Among the main officials of the three divisions in Jiangxi, only Wang Lun, a leftist political strategist, took the initiative to rebel. He was appointed by King Ning as Minister of the Ministry of War and was responsible for garrisoning at the Nanchang base camp. He was captured alive.
Although the remaining officials were forced to obey, King Ning did not trust them. While he named them "officials of the imperial court", he detained their families in Nanchang, and then took these officials on expeditions and ordered them to do trivial matters.
.
After yesterday's defeat, King Ning did not dare to scold the generals who led the army, so he vented his anger on these "officials of the court".
The more King Ning scolded, the angrier he became. It seemed that the defeat of the battle was all the fault of the "court officials". At the end of the scolding, King Ning became furious: "Come here, drag all these idiots and chop them down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down and don't kill rashly." Li Shishi quickly advised him.
Prince Ning's puppet court team was mostly composed of these officials. After all the official killings, what else would they call a court?
The imperial officials were so trembling that they couldn't even cry. They only regretted that they should not have attended Prince Ning's birthday party. Others only needed gifts to treat guests, but Prince Ning's treat was life-threatening. They followed the rebellion out of ignorance, and now they have to be dragged out and beheaded.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming!"
King Ning hurriedly went out to check the situation and saw countless warships approaching on the river in the south.
"There are them over there too!" Many more rebels exclaimed.
King Ning hurriedly turned around. There were fewer enemies in the north, only about thirty ships, but there were thousands of infantry following on the shore.
Masters and disciples Wang Yuan and Wang Yangming actually arrived at the battlefield at the same time, one from the north and the other from the south.
"We are surrounded by officers and soldiers, run away!"
Before the fighting even started, the rebels had already collapsed on their own.
King Ning was furious: "You are not allowed to run, the military law team is holding down the formation!"
Prince Ning's personal guards blocked the main road, and the warships were connected and floated on the river. The rebels really had no way to escape. However, they heard the sound of falling into the water, and thousands of rebels jumped into the water and fled. The law enforcement team chief
You can't jump into the Gan River and kill people, right?
Wang Yuan used a telescope to observe from a distance and was immediately speechless. This battle was too unchallenging.
In the south, Wang Yangming saw King Ning crossing the boat with iron ropes, and was so amused that he wanted to laugh. He was preparing to burn the camp, but before the fire boat was ready, King Ning's army was frantically laying dumplings.
What else do you want a fire ship?
Just kill him and that's it!
Wang Yangming ordered the entire army to charge, and Wang Yuan also came with a boat. Under the attack from the north and the south, there was no real engagement at all. Even the rebel navy general Ling Shiyi jumped into the river and swam to escape.
In fact, up until this point, regardless of military morale, Ning Wang's navy still had an absolute advantage, even if it attacked from both sides, it still had the advantage.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!" Li Shishi said hurriedly.
King Ning had no choice but to take the prime ministers and princes on his left and right, and escape in a small boat taking advantage of the chaos.
After all, the rebels still have tens of thousands of people. It is really difficult to find King Ning when the chaos breaks out. The prefects, prefects, county magistrates, and officials... come in large and small warships to kill them. Wherever they go, the rebels are defeated, and the Gan River is densely packed with people.
They were struggling swimmers, and one boat could knock several of them unconscious.
"Where is Prince Ning?"
This sentence appears most frequently. Civil and military officials caught the defeated soldiers and asked them. If they couldn't answer, they would get angry and hit them with an oar.
Li Ji, the magistrate of Taihe County, was riding a small fishing boat with only a few government officials following him. He was rowing the fishing boat and taking advantage of any gaps in the formation of rebel warships when he suddenly saw a guy in a dragon robe.
He said with great joy: "The rebel king is there, hurry up and cross over!"
Wang Mian, the magistrate of Wan'an County, was closer to King Ning. He didn't notice it at first, but when he was reminded by Li Ji's shout, he immediately saw King Ning and said anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
The two county magistrates started a speed competition. Liu Yuanqing, the magistrate of Xian County, and Yang Fang, the magistrate of Ji'an, fought their way out. The four fishing boats rowed towards King Ning with all their lives.
Yang Fang and Wang Mian arrived almost at the same time, but Li Ji, who was the first to notice Prince Ning, was half a beat too late.
But, such an important person cannot be dragged off the boat directly. What if he drowns?
After a while, four fishing boats surrounded the small boat in which King Ning was riding. The three county magistrates and the general magistrate looked at each other and smiled. In fact, they wanted to curse in their hearts. It would be difficult to distinguish the success of King Ning's capture.
Li Ji said: "I saw Prince Ning first."
Yang Fang smiled and said, "I saw it too, but I didn't shout out."
Liu Yuanqing said: "Let's just say the four of us captured it together."
Wang Mian said: "That's fine."
King Ning suddenly asked: "What official position do you hold?"
Four people answered truthfully.
King Ning felt very sad and sighed: "I am a noble person in the sky, but I was blocked by four humble officials in a fishing boat. This is all God's will! God wants to destroy me, and it is not a fault of war."
Liu Qingyuan sneered: "The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. You, a traitor, have neither popular support nor military morale. How can you be undefeated?"
Wang Mian pointed at the warship formation: "You have countless warships, how can they collapse at the first touch? The human heart!"
King Ning said angrily: "What a fart! It's not because Wang Shouren captured Nanchang, captured my soldiers and their families, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit that we were defeated."
Yang Fang said impatiently: "What are you telling him for? Quickly capture him and go to see Duke Yangming."
Wang Yangming also attacked by land and water this time, and brave men from both sides of the bank rushed over. Those defeated soldiers who finally swam ashore were already weak from exhaustion, and they all chose to kneel down to beg for mercy, while some wanted to swim farther ashore.
There were too many defeated troops, and many managed to escape. The rebel navy general Ling Shiyi disappeared. The creature swam down the river and swam nearly ten miles before landing. No one knew its whereabouts since then.
“I’ve caught Prince Ning, I’ve caught Prince Ning!”
The officers and soldiers near Wang Yangming's ship shouted happily, and a group of prefects were also ecstatic, and collectively bowed and said: "Congratulations, Duke Yangming!"
However, Wang Yangming seemed very calm and asked: "Who is leading the army in the north?"
At this moment, Wang Yuan and Song Ling'er came in a small boat. The couple stood on the bow: "Teacher, we are here."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Yangming then laughed: "Who did I say it was? It was such a coincidence that it was Ruoxu and Ning'er."
"It's quite a coincidence." Wang Yuan felt like he was just here to make trouble, and Uncle Wang had already finished the work.
But Wang Yuan was not useless. With his advance arrangements, King Ning worshiped faster this time. Moreover, the location of the main battlefield changed, and Wang Yangming did not burn the company. King Ning, who was supposed to be captured by Wang Mian, became
Four local officials caught him together.
Xu Lian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, asked in surprise: "Is this the famous Wang Ruoxu?"
Wang Yuan cupped his hands and smiled: "Of course."
Xu Lian asked curiously: "Why is Wang Shilang here?"
Wang Yuan explained: "I took leave of absence and returned to my hometown to get married. When I heard about King Ning's rebellion in Huguang, I brought 3,000 Huguang soldiers over. After taking Jiujiang and Nankang, I prepared to come over and annihilate King Ning. Unexpectedly, everyone had already calmed down.
Rebellion.”
Xu Lian said with emotion: "Like a teacher, there must be a disciple. Duke Yangming and Wang Shilang are both great talents who help Sheji!"
Wang Yangming naturally wanted to help his disciple make a name for himself: "You don't know, but before the rebellion of Ningfan, my student had already made plans. Governor Li of Nanzhili and Governor Wei of Huguang were both recommended by him to block Ningfan.
The way in from the north and the way out from the east.”
Wu Xiru, the censor of Guangdong Province, took the opportunity to boast: "It seems that Wang Shilang is not only unparalleled in bravery, but also has great achievements in temple calculations!"
Capturing a rebel king, and by the way capturing the left and right prime ministers of the puppet dynasty, is naturally a happy event for everyone.
Everyone knew that Wang Yuan was deeply favored by the emperor. As Wang Yuan's teacher, Wang Yangming was bound to reach the sky if he achieved this meritorious service. Everyone was promoted according to his meritorious service, and could board the ship of Wang Yuan and Wang Yangming. The joy was indescribable.
Before the battlefield was cleared, the officials began to communicate with each other, hoping to help each other in the future.
No matter what faction you were in before, if you have the experience of fighting the rebellion of King Qin together, you can develop into friends of the same camp.
After communicating with a group of local officials for a while, Wang Yuan pulled Wang Yangming aside: "Sir, send someone to report the victory quickly!"
Wang Yangming said: "We haven't captured all the defeated troops yet, how do we write a report of victory?"
Wang Yuan said: "Then write a briefing and say that King Ning has been captured. We have to rush 800 miles to the capital to prevent His Majesty from going on a personal expedition. He has long been waiting for King Ning to rebel and then go on an expedition himself."
"Then we should report victory immediately." Wang Yangming suddenly understood.
If the emperor personally came to conquer the country, how much food and grass would be wasted, I hope it's not too late to stop it.
