Chen Tai looked at Wang Yangming and couldn't help but sigh for a while, "Forget it, since that's the case, I will go crazy with you!"

In fact, for Chen Tai, he had few choices at all. He either chose to abandon the city and fled, but if he left the city and fled, once the court found out, he would inevitably go to Caishikou.

Or they just defended the city and waited for assistance. Unfortunately, Chen Tai did not have much hope for reinforcements in the court.

It’s not that the court will not send reinforcements. As long as it is not a fool, it can be seen that the court will never sit idly by and watch King Ning grow into the south of the Yangtze River, so the imperial army will definitely come as quickly as possible.

But no matter how fast it is, it cannot relieve intimidation.

Perhaps they had not even seen the shadow of the imperial reinforcements, so they had already broken the city and were killed by the rebels.

It is just a human instinct to be greedy for life and fear of death.

Now Wang Shouren stood up, looking full of confidence, which naturally made Chen Tai and others have some hope in their lives.

It was because King Ning was too powerful. With the support of the Jiangnan family and the powerful, King Ning's rebellion was really smooth. It was almost everywhere, with almost no resistance, giving people the illusion that King Ning had a great power to occupy Jiangnan.

This is also true. When facing the rebels of King Ning, even Chen Tai, as the governor, was extremely panicked.

Wang Shouren glanced over the crowd and bowed to Chen Tai and others, "Everyone, after I leave the city, please be able to defend the city to the death. Unless I lead the army back personally, the city gate must not be opened!"

Chen Tai restored his majesty as a governor and nodded slowly, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I promise you that as long as I have a breath, I will definitely not let the city fall into the hands of the rebels."

Looking at Wang Yangming's leaving figure, the officials were slightly stunned and bowed to Wang Yangming, "I wish you a victory and return safely!"

In fact, in the eyes of most people, Wang Yangming's trip must be a moth to the fire and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. How can a few thousand soldiers be the opponent of tens of thousands of rebels? I'm afraid there will be a dead end at that time.

Three thousand soldiers and horses carefully selected by Wang Shouren gathered on the school ground. Although the military appearance was not very neat, it was not a mob, and it still had some military style.

Wang Yangming was wearing armor and a sword hung around his waist, and he actually had a general look.

Looking at the two thousand people selected, Wang Yangming shouted in a deep voice: "All the soldiers, follow me to go out of the city to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country, kill the enemy and serve the country!"

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yangming shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Wu comes out!"

Suddenly, a big man came out and heard Wang Yangming say, "Wang Wu, bring your men and set off with me!"

Wang Wu showed a little puzzled look on his face. He had only more than a hundred men under him, but he didn't know what Wang Yangming asked him to take people to do. However, Wang Wu did not ask too much, but took the order solemnly and shouted. More than a hundred soldiers behind him suddenly stepped out of the line and followed Wang Yangming out of the military camp.

On the school ground, the remaining soldiers looked at Wang Yangming and others who were leaving with surprise.

Chen Tai, Mao Yuan and others, who were about to come out to see Wang Shouren off, happened to see Wang Shouren leading more than a hundred soldiers whistling out of the barracks and heading towards the center of the city.

Mao Yuan said in confusion: "Governor, Lord Wang is this..."

No wonder Mao Yuan and others looked puzzled. Wang Shouren's actions were too strange. In theory, Wang Shouren should have led a large army out of the city. Why did he only bring more than a hundred people to the center of the city now?

Even Chen Tai was a little puzzled, stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, "I don't know why Wang Shouren's move is! County Magistrate Mao would rather follow me to see it!"

The center of Ji'an County is naturally the most prosperous place in Ji'an County. Needless to say, such places must be occupied by the gentry in the county.

A letter from King Ning spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the manifesto, which listed Chu Yi's charges, saying that Chu Yi violated the teachings of Taizu, collected commercial taxes, and intended to open the sea, deceive the emperor, and harm loyal ministers.

Of course, Chu Yi harmed loyal and kind, deceived them, and then had nothing to do with them. They didn't care who the emperor was, as long as the emperor didn't cause trouble for them.

However, the manifesto pointed out that Chu Yi wanted to charge commercial taxes like Liu Jin and also open the sea. Ninety-nine percent of the gentry in these places did not care about opening the sea or something, but the increase in commercial taxes, mining taxes and other things was closely related to them.

The reason why these gentry were able to be rich is not because they relied on doing business and occupying various local minerals and other resources to make money.

Now the imperial court wants to increase taxes on these things. Isn’t this cutting off their flesh?

So as soon as the manifesto was released, Chu Yi became a genuine treacherous minister in the eyes of 70% or 80% of the gentry in the world.

The business in Jiangnan is the most prosperous, and these gentry in Ji'an County are no exception. They all hate Chu Yi. And they raise an army to clear the emperor and point directly at Chu Yi, naturally applauding him.

The Liu family in Ji'an County is the largest gentry in the county. It occupies several mines in Ji'an County. It can be said that he hates Chu Yi the most.

Now in the living room of the Liu family, a rebel envoy from Ning Wang was saying to Liu Lian: "Master Liu, my prince obeys the will of heaven and is to be a new generation of wise rulers. Now the eunuch Chen Tai, Wang Shouren and others are trying to rely on Ji'an County to fight against the king's army, but they are overestimating their own abilities!"

Liu Lian nodded with a smile and said, "What the lord said is very true. These people really don't know the number of days. They even want to stop the prince's army. I am willing to respond in the city when the king's army is at the city. They will try every means to open the city gate and welcome the king into the city."

The messenger nodded with a smile and said, "If the head of the Liu family can open the city gate for our army, General Zhou will definitely speak nicely to the prince for the head of the Liu family. At that time, the head of the Liu family may not be impossible to fall into the prince's eyes. From now on, the family will be prosperous and it is unknown whether it will be prosperous!"

Liu Lianwenzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this moment, outside the Liu family's gate, Wang Yangming looked at a disciple in front of him and said, "Chen Zuyin, can you be sure that the Liu family has colluded with the rebels?"

Chen Zuyin is one of several disciples brought by Wang Yangming from Longchang, Guizhou. Although he dare not say that he is both civil and military, his talent is not bad.

Since entering Ji'an County, Wang Yangming quietly spilled several disciples and then focused on several gentry homes in the city.

The reason why the Ningwang rebels swept across Jiangxi was that many cities were broken without resistance was that the incident happened suddenly, and many counties were not prepared at all. Some were also prepared for the defense, but the gentry in the city cooperated inside and outside and opened the city gate from the inside.

What a person Wang Shouren is, it is impossible not to be unprepared for this, so he arranged for his disciples to stare at several families in the city early.

Not long ago, Wang Yangming received a message from his disciples, and a rebel envoy entered the Liu family in the city.

Chen Zuyin said with a righteous expression: "Teacher, I dare to guarantee my life, and the rebel envoy is in the Liu family's mansion! What the disciples saw with their own eyes will never be wrong."

Wang Yangming naturally trusted Chen Zuyin, but nodded slightly, then shouted to Wang Wu, who had his eyes wide open, "Wang Wu, follow me to catch the rebels!"

Wang Wu and others couldn't help but be stunned. With the prestige of the Liu family in Ji'an County, if these soldiers were people in Ji'an County, even if Wang Yangming was present, they might not be able to induce them to attack the Liu Mansion.

But now the soldiers of Ji'an County are the men mobilized by Governor Chen Tai and him from all over the place. It can be said that few of them were from Ji'an County, so they naturally had no fear of the Liu family.

After hearing Wang Yangming's order, Wang Wu was stunned at first, and after reacting, he shouted and rushed towards the Liu family mansion first.

With a loud bang, Wang Wu hit the door with a single hammer in his hand, and it only knocked it down in two or three strokes.

The servants of the Liu family were stunned and watched helplessly as a group of soldiers rushed into the mansion.

Just as he was accompanying the rebel envoy there to imagine the city breaking, Liu Lian would be appreciated and valued by King Ning. When the Liu family dreamed of becoming prosperous since then, a noise came.

A group of people rushed into the yard from afar. Liu Lian couldn't help but be furious. He suddenly stood up and strode away to face the soldiers. He shouted angrily from afar: "What a brave man. Which general are you following? Don't you know my Liu family..."

While roaring, a figure appeared in Liu Lian's sight. Who would be Wang Yangming?

Not long ago, Liu Lian accompanied the magistrate Mao Yuan to entertain Wang Yangming and Chen Tai, so he was naturally familiar with Wang Shouren.

When he saw Wang Shouren, Liu Lian couldn't help but feel a slap in his heart, his eyes shrank, but he took a deep breath and stared at Wang Shouren and said, "Mr. Wang, as the saying goes, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. What kind of wind is this? I blow Lord Wang to Liu's home. I have lost the opportunity to welcome you. Please forgive me!"

Wang Shouren glanced at Liu Lian lightly and sneered, "Liu Lian, you are so brave. You actually colluded with the rebels of King Ning. Do you know the crime!"

Liu Lian's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Wang Shouren in fear and said in a trembling voice: "You... you are slandering people. My Liu family is a gentry in the county. How could he collude with the rebels? You are simply a false accusation. I want to meet the magistrate..."

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said, "Search it for me!"

The rebel envoy, a living person, naturally could not hide for long, but was escorted out in a blink of an eye.

Wang Wu presented a token of identity searched from the rebel envoy to Wang Yangming and said, "Sir, this is the token found from this person. Please check it!"
