Chapter 190: Issue a Self-Criticism Edict to Win over the King of Jin

Outside Jinling City, on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

While the civil and military officials of the Hongxi regime of the Daxin Dynasty were busy with party struggles and internal struggles, and busy dividing the river with Jin Wang Chen Huaian, Wu Sanjia, who was accused of being a rebel, was also busy in the camp of the Hu Ben New Army on the north bank.

At this time, a month had passed since the Hu Ben New Army arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

During this period, under the order of General Wu Sanjia, Deputy General Zhao Kui built warships and trained soldiers in water battles, which was quite effective.

Tang Ziyi, another deputy general of the Hu Ben Army, also took the order of General Wu Sanjia to control the power of the world's troops and horses, and went to various places to gather troops and horses to go south to Beijing to serve the king.

However, the troops and horses of Daxin, which had already been in a state of disunity, seemed to have no interest in going to Beijing to serve the king.

Especially, when the garrisons in various places learned from Tang Ziyi that the admiral Fang Tianyao had kidnapped the emperor and the empress dowager, and that the prime minister Qin Ruhui supported the Fu Wang's son Zhao Lingzhan to ascend the throne in the imperial city of the capital;

The attitude of sitting on the fence and watching was fully demonstrated.

So much so that after Tang Ziyi's lobbying, he barely brought back 70,000 soldiers and horses, willing to follow the general Wu Sanjia to die for the emperor Lingwu of the Great Xin Dynasty.

Now, Wu Sanjia on the north bank of the Yangtze River has 250,000 troops, and the warships needed to cross the river are also being rushed day and night.

It seems that everything is developing in a good direction.

But time is not on Wu Sanjia's side.

Wu Sanjia has received intelligence from spies that Jin Wang Chen Huaian has led 100,000 reinforcements to Jinan Prefecture a few days ago. After joining forces with the Longcheng Southern Expedition Army that conquered Jinan Prefecture, the troops will definitely head straight to Jinling City.

By that time, the new Tiger Guards under Wu Sanjia would face a difficult situation of being attacked from all sides.

"Hey, Wu Qidong, the garrison commander of Jinan Prefecture, wrote to this general with such audacity that he said that it would be no problem to defend Jinan Prefecture for a year or two;"

In the central army tent, Wu Sanjia was alone looking at the battle map on the table, and said to himself: "Who would have thought that Chang Yuchun would break through the city in ten days;"

"Even if you had persisted for a month before breaking through the city, this general would not have fallen into the passive situation now!"

Hey——

Wu Sanjia sighed and said: "It is really God who wants to kill Wu Sanjia and the Lingwu regime of the Great New Dynasty!"

"Report——"

"Report to the general, urgent military information on the south bank!"

At this moment, the voice of the deputy general Tang Ziyi suddenly came from outside the central army tent.

Oh?

Wu Sanjia raised his eyebrows, and regained his usual confident look, and ordered sternly: "Come in and talk!"

"Yes, General!"

Soon, Deputy General Tang Ziyi appeared in the central army tent in a hurry, and said to Wu Sanjia with a serious face: "General--"

"I just received a secret letter from Su Chen, the governor of the South Bank garrison. Su Chen expressed his willingness to give up the river to the Huben New Army, let the Huben New Army's navy go south along the river, directly to Jiangyin Daxin Navy Base Camp, and bring back Emperor Lingwu and Empress Dowager Su!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia stood up, He confirmed with excitement: "Deputy General Tang, are you serious?"

Tang Ziyi nodded heavily and said: "General, it is absolutely true. This news was personally told to me by the son of the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Su Chen;"

"And, Su Chen's son is now in my tent."

"The Governor-General of Liangjiang, Su Chen, is using this method to show us his determination and sincerity!"

Tang Ziyi said firmly: "Otherwise, he would never send his eldest son to the camp of my Tiger New Army as a hostage!"

Wu Sanjia's brain was running fast.

Speaking of which, during the confrontation between the two armies across the river, it was not uncommon for them to secretly communicate with each other, and Wu Sanjia and Su Chen were no exception.

These two people were old acquaintances, and it was reasonable for them to stand on the opposite side for their respective masters in the Daxin Lingwu coup.

In the final analysis, it was not just to gain more political capital for themselves.

Therefore, when Wu Sanjia learned that the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Su Chen, actually sent his son to the Hu Ben New Army camp as a hostage to show his sincerity and determination, he believed it about 70%.

Obviously, Su Chen did not get what he wanted in the Daxin Hongxi regime.

Wu Sanjia immediately asked: "What are the conditions?"

Tang Ziyi replied without hesitation: "The son of Lord Su said that after the general welcomes the emperor back and regains power, he wants to be one of the three highest officials, and also wants a red-lettered iron certificate to exempt from death!"

"As a token of surrender, Lord Su is willing to provide convenience for the Hu Ben New Army Navy to go south to Jiangyin, and after the general welcomes the emperor back, he will work with the general to seize Jinling City!"

Hmm!

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia frowned and nodded, saying: "Lord Su's request is not too outrageous!"

"If Emperor Lingwu can regain power this time, he will not be stingy with a position ranked among the three highest officials, let alone a golden medal of red seal and iron certificate of immunity from death!"

"This condition, this general will agree on behalf of the emperor and the empress dowager!"

Then, Wu Sanjia ordered: "Deputy General Tang, you go to the navy..."

After thinking about it, Wu Sanjia said again: "Forget it, let me go there myself!"

Not long after, Wu Sanjia personally came to the navy camp of the new Hu Ben army that was training.

"General, you are here!"

Zhao Kui, the deputy general in charge of training the navy, ran over to greet General Wu Sanjia with his bare chest after hearing the news that he was coming.

Wu Sanjia didn't bother to greet him because the matter was urgent. He went straight to the point and said, "Deputy General Zhao, you should immediately select 10,000 elite soldiers from the navy officers and soldiers. In three days, follow me to the south along the river and go straight to Fang Tianyao's Jiangyin nest;"

"I will personally go to welcome the emperor and the queen mother back!"

"I have received your order!"

......

At the same time, in Bohai Bay, Yingzhou.

Wengcheng Town, Longcheng Army and Navy Camp.

Jin Wang Chen Huaian arrived in Yingzhou one step ahead of Longcheng's southern expedition reinforcements, and went to the navy camp to inspect the training of the Qi Family Army of Longcheng Navy.

Admiral Qi Jiguang of the navy was leading a group of naval generals outside the gate of Wengcheng Town, preparing to welcome the king of Jin.

Chen Huaian was riding a yellow horse, rushing towards the navy camp.

"Report--"

"Your Highness, the King of Jin, the Emperor Hongxi of the Great Xin Dynasty sent an envoy!"

When Chen Huaian was less than two miles away from the navy camp, he was suddenly stopped by the brave general Pang Xianchu who caught up with him and reported to Chen Huaian the intelligence he had just obtained.

Oh?

Chen Huaian stopped the yellow horse and asked with interest: "Why did the Emperor Hongxi send an envoy to find me?"

Pang Xianchu handed a piece of brocade to Chen Huaian and said in a responsible manner: "Your Highness, take a look at this first!"

Chen Huaian took it and opened it to see-the three big characters of "Crime Edict" jumped into his eyes!
