This night is destined to be an unusual night.

Just when Wu Zheng was inexplicably chased by the imperial guards, Baoying City, Jiangbei, was also subjected to a large-scale night attack by the Qing army.

No, to be correct, the Qing army should have entered.

Because when Wu Zheng left Taizhou, he ordered "Chi Erhan's army to regain Xinghua, Jiang Quanyi's army to recover Huailou Town, and Lu's territory to recover Jiangdu."

The intention was to use Baoying as a buffer for the Qing army in the north.

But Wu Zheng did not expect that Dorgon had visited Huaian Prefecture in person, and he did not know that Dorgon had already transferred troops to Xuzhou to the south.

Therefore, the Qing army's reconnaissance was that Baoying did not have the Ming army, so it was garrisoned.

Jiang Quanyi, this man has always been too crazy and has no military achievements, which makes him itchy.

After recovering Huailou Town, he left hundreds of people to guard without authorization and led 2,000 people north.

At this time, there was no Qing army stationed in Baoying City. Jiang Quanyi's troops were not bloody and almost made a decision, and he easily recovered Baoying City.

The two sides had only a short time difference of one day, so the Qing army did not know that Baoying had lost, and Jiang Quanyi did not know that there would be an enemy army to attack the city.

In the dark night, a fierce battle broke out.

At the beginning, with Jiang Quanyi's nature, he naturally planned to stick to it, but after half an hour, he gradually came back to the point that the number of enemies that were invading was wrong.

The north city was fighting against thousands of enemies' siege, but the defenders from the east and west cities came to report and were also attacked. Obviously, this group of enemies was strange.

Those who have escaped thousands of miles away from life like Jiang Quanyi will almost feel a sense of danger coming.

At this time, Jiang Quanyi decisively issued a retreat order. After repelling a Qing army's siege, Jiang Quanyi led his troops to retreat.

As the saying goes, the boat is small and easy to turn around. Jiang Quanyi's troops are not large in number. He went out of the south gate and retreated to Huailou Town with an order.

Fortunately, the Qing army only received three thousand vanguards, and if there were tens of thousands of people, it would be impossible for Jiang Quanyi to withdraw.

But even if Jiang Quanyi reacted quickly, he still lost two or three hundred people because he needed to leave his troops to cut off his rear.

During the retreat, Jiang Quanyi did the right thing, which was to send someone to urgently send messages to Chi Erhan from Xinghua and Lu's territory in Jiangdu, and ask them to send troops to reinforce Taizhou.

His actions laid the foundation for the Taizhou Battle a few days later.

.

The beginning of the hour of Hai.

Chunhe Palace.

Zhu Cilang finally waited for the news he had been looking forward to for a long time.

This news made him mixed joys and sorrows, but to be precise, worry is far greater than joy.

What's good is that Wu Zheng is indeed in danger. Although he has not confirmed his murder, he has only two guards around him. Faced with the pursuit of hundreds of imperial guards, he may be in danger.

Nearly two hours have passed, and even if reinforcements have been sent, I am afraid I will be unable to get through to rescue.

In other words, Wu Zheng is afraid he will die.

Once Wu Zheng died, his military and legal legacy could only fall into his own hands. There was no other person in the area of ​​more than 20 prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, which was comparable to his reputation and the attached great righteousness.

This should indeed be a happy event.

But I am worried that if I was planning to murder Wu Zheng, Is it the imperial guard?

This really shocked Zhu Cixuan. Why was it the imperial guard? Didn’t it mean that the rioters were the key to Wu Zheng?

Zhu Cilang felt a conspiracy and was covering him.

This is definitely not a good thing!

The command power of the imperial guards belongs to the emperor. Even if the eldest princess is in charge of the country, she can only temporarily lead the dispatch. In other words, the supervisor can mobilize the imperial guards, but the loyal target of the imperial guards is still the emperor.

Without the emperor's will, how could it be possible to kill the princes and generals of the current dynasty?

Zhu Ciyang was shocked, who was it? Who was making me take the blame?

The eldest princess?

impossible!

The emperor girl cares about Wu Zheng, this is an open secret.

How could he order Wu Zheng’s life?

Besides, even if she gave the order, the imperial guards would not obey. At least someone would have to come back to report to me.

But who else has such ability to make my imperial guards obey?

Zhu Cilang was anxiously circled in the hall.

He suddenly realized that he was afraid he had to take the blame. No matter whether Wu Zheng was in the end, he could not escape this relationship.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cilang's face became ferocious.

Only when Wu Zheng died can this matter be left alone, because no one is more suitable to rule the world than himself.

Even if Wu Zheng’s confidant refused to give up, so what?

As long as the ministers in the court unanimously support me, those who refuse to submit to me and want to be enemies with me will be traitors.

No one will follow them.

But if Wu Zheng finally survives, the problem will be more complicated and difficult. I have issued an edict to go into seclusion. If I fall into this assassination and harm the heroes, it will be that yellow mud falls into my crotch, either shit or shit.

Zhu Cilang could imagine the best result, and all power was concentrated in the hands of the eldest princess and Wu Zheng. He became a puppet who was implicated and lived in the deep palace to die. The worst result was that he would probably become the first deposed emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. What's even more terrifying is that he might have to endure the humiliation of the three sects' trials, and he could do it, and he would definitely do it!

No! I can't sit still and wait for death!

"Come here! The commander of the Imperial Army, Huang Dazhan, came to see me quickly!"

.

The second moment of Hai.

Huang Daozhou, Qian Sule, and Mo Nian, Ma Shiying led a thousand imperial cavalry to Beimenqiao Yushi Street.

Looking at the corpses and the wounded who cried all over the street, the most dead and injured were the people.

This is obviously not the result of the murder of the rioters who wanted to harm the prince and the imperial guards.

Because if the rioters wanted to harm the prince and the imperial guards killed him, then the imperial guards now control the situation, and the prince should be here, at least the corpse should be here.

Huang Daozhou's faces were terrifyingly gloomy.

These four people are all experienced people. This is definitely not a rioter who is assassination of civil servants, but it is very likely that it was a rebellion of the imperial guards of this department.

This recognition made the four of them inexplicably sweat. They realized that the thousand cavalry brought behind them were also imperial guards!

At this moment, a faint cry sounded, "Master, officers and soldiers rebelled."

An imperial guard stepped forward and took out a wounded person from the pile of corpses.

Mo Zhinian grabbed the man's chest and asked, "Who are you? Where is the prince?"

The man vomited blood foam and said, "Student Prince Liu Yuan fled west."

After saying that, he tilted his head and fainted.

"Come here!" Mo Zhinian shouted sternly, "Wake him up!"

While the medical worker was helping, Qian Sule led the three of them to the side and whispered: "This is strange, we need to be careful."

Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "The Grand Tutor is right, the Imperial Guard is no longer trustworthy! You cannot lead this cavalry to rescue the prince."

Mo Zhinian gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Then we have to wait for the brothers Qi Chenghao to lead the troops."
