I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Chapter 178 Confrontation across the river, reaping the benefits

The natural danger of the Yangtze River is on the north bank of Jinling City.

The new army of 180,000 tigers and soldiers went south to rescue King Qin and set up camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, one can vaguely see the outline of the majestic buildings of Jinling City.

The mighty general Wu Sanjia, accompanied by his two lieutenants Zhao Kui and Tang Ziyi, came to the ferry and looked at Jinling City across the wide river.

At this time, eight months had passed since Wu Sanjia left Jinling City.

It was the dry season of the Yangtze River and the wet season of the Yangtze River.

The river, which was hundreds of meters wide, had now become the last barrier for Wu Sanjia to return to Jinling City and stand at the top of the power of the Great New Dynasty.

"General, it is now entering the summer flood season. The water in the Yangtze River has surged. Most of the officers and soldiers in our Huben New Army are from the north and are not familiar with water properties."

Lieutenant General Zhao Kui spoke eloquently: "From this point of view, we can only place our hopes on Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao for the matter of crossing the river to Beijing."

"The last general heard that Fang Tianyao held the emperor and the queen mother hostage, and forced the emperor to issue a decree to confer him the title of King of the Four Seas. Then he allowed the emperor and the queen mother to board the ship and take refuge;"

snort!

At this point, Zhao Kui snorted with disdain and continued: "I don't know what's going on in the world today. A guy like Fang Tianyao who was born on an island can actually be crowned king?"

"As for the general, he first fought bloody battles in Ying and Mozhou, desperately resisting the Longcheng rebels who were marching south;"

"Now, I have rushed thousands of miles to the capital to serve the king, but I have just been named a chief military officer who controls the world's military power. This is simply unbelievable!"

"Yes, General!"

Tang Ziyi, the former Yingzhou garrison who had just been promoted to deputy general, also echoed: "What General Zhao said is absolutely true!"

"All along the way, we, the new tiger army, fought all the battles. But in the end, when it came time to reward merits, speculators like Fang Tianyao took the upper hand. He is an island bandit, why should he be crowned king!"

"Furthermore, this guy knows that our new army of Huben and King Qin are going south to Beijing. To cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, we need the help of his navy's warships;"

"As a result, when our army just arrived, Fang Tianyao actually ordered all the warships to sail to Shanghai, and also brought the emperor and the Queen Mother to the naval camp in Shanghai;"

"If he does this, our new Tiger Army will enter the capital, and why will Qin become the king?"

Regarding the matter of denouncement of Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao, the two new deputy generals of the Huben Army, who were originally very similar to each other, found a rare opportunity to share the same hatred and stand on a unified front.

Speaking of which, Tang Ziyi, who was guarding Yingzhou in the Central Plains of the Huben New Army, was promoted to deputy general of the Huben New Army. This incident is full of drama.

Back then, when he was outside Jinan City, General Wu Sanjia personally led hundreds of soldiers and bravely broke into Jinan Prefecture single-handedly to provide a way for Huben's new army to move south.

Zhao Kui, the deputy general of the Huben Army who abandoned the city and fled, led thousands of remaining soldiers to pursue him.

This made Tang Ziyi, who had long coveted the position of deputy general of the Tiger Army, immediately murder Zhao Kui, and also sent elite infantrymen to surround Zhao Kui and thousands of remaining soldiers, preparing to kill Zhao Kui on the spot for escaping from the battle. Dharma.

At the critical moment, the crossbowmen of the Huben Army who surrounded Zhao Kui and others were ready to shoot Zhao Kui and others to death with random arrows, when General Wu Sanjia finally arrived.

Next, when faced with how to deal with the deputy general Zhao Kui who abandoned the defense of Mozhou City without authorization, Wu Sanjia thought of his past merits and hard work, and coupled with the fact that it was now the time to employ people, he gave Zhao Kui a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds.

At the same time, Wu Sanjia also noticed Tang Ziyi's motives in this matter, so he promoted Tang Ziyi to the deputy general of Huben's new army, and assisted him with Zhao Kui in handling important military affairs.

It can be regarded as allowing the two of them to supervise each other and serve them with all their heart and soul.

When facing his two lieutenants, who angrily rebuked Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao with the same hatred, Wu Sanjia's face still had the calm expression of the past.

He just said lightly: "This Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao, when our Tiger and Tiger troops arrived at the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he transferred all the Navy warships;"

"It's nothing more than trying to reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

"He took the Emperor and the Queen Mother hostage and went to the naval camp in Shanghai. He just wanted to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, so that his naval officers and soldiers would be in an invincible position."

After a pause, Wu Sanjia continued: "This general guesses that if the new Huben army can raise its own warships and cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to stabilize the situation in Jinling City;"

"Then, Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao will definitely personally welcome the Emperor and the Queen Mother back to Beijing from Shanghai before the overall situation is decided;"

"If Qin Ruhui and the new troops from Lianghu and Liangjiang commanded by him can take advantage of the opportunity, they can support Zhao Lingzhan, the son of Prince Daxinfu, as the emperor of the new dynasty;"

"Then, Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao will still personally send the Emperor and the Queen Mother back to Jinling City after the overall situation of the world has been decided;"

"It's just that he was sent back to Qin Ruhui in exchange for his throne as the King of the Four Seas and the interests of the navy being protected from infringement!"

hehe!

Having said this, Wu Sanjia sneered twice and said: "This new dynasty was ruined by countless black sheep like Qin Ruhui and Fang Tianyao;"

"Half of the country in the north has fallen into the hands of the treacherous minister and traitor Chen Huaian, but the civil servants and generals in these courts are still backstabbing each other because of factional interests, fighting for blood!"

"As everyone knows, they are fighting among themselves here, and in the end they can only take advantage of that rebellious minister Chen Huaian!"

Wu Sanjia's words were particularly angry, but he also seemed helpless.

Along the way, what he saw were the intrigues between the civil servants and generals of the Great New Dynasty, who were plotting against each other's backs.

Many times, he began to doubt whether Wu Sanjia could put the shaky New Dynasty back on track by himself.

After hearing what Wu Sanjia said, his two lieutenants also fell silent.

Except for being able to show off their words and angrily scold these black sheep of the New Dynasty, they seem to be unable to do anything.

Just like, the Jinling City at the end of the field of vision is very close, but it is blocked by the turbulent Yangtze River.

"Report——"

"General, please report urgently to Jinan Prefecture!"

Suddenly, the messenger galloped over on horseback, and before he could stop his horse, he turned over and dismounted.

Afterwards, he knelt down next to Wu Sanjia and reported: "Deputy Marshal of Dragon City Soldiers and Horses, General Chang Yuchun of the Southern Expedition, led 150,000 Dragon City soldiers and horses to Jinan Prefecture City;"

"Wu Qidong, the garrison of Jinan Prefecture, came to report that the defenders of Jinan Prefecture can still hold on to the city for a year and a half. We hope that the general will return to Jinan Prefecture immediately after quelling the Jinling Rebellion!"
