Chapter 200: Jiangyin Mutiny, Battle for Power

Wu Sanjia knew very well that the 250,000 new Huben troops stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River were his entire family fortune and the capital to seize power, and he could not allow any mistakes to be made.

While he was away from the camp, it was naturally impossible to hand over the new Huben army to the hands of either of his deputy generals, Zhao Kui and Tang Ziyi, to prevent the two from having different intentions.

If he took advantage of his absence from the camp to turn around and take the 250,000 new Tiger and Ben troops to surrender to Emperor Hong Xi, then all Wu Sanjia's painstaking efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Wu Sanjia found two lieutenants, Zhao Kui and Tang Ziyi, to give them instructions and promised them the post of Minister of War under Emperor Daxin Lingwu.

Anyway, these are all empty words and there is no telling whether they can be fulfilled in the future!

In the large tent of the Chinese army, looking at the back of deputy general Tang Ziyi who took the order, Wu Sanjia couldn't help but recall that as a concubine, he worked hard step by step to become the number one scholar in the new martial arts in the new university, and then became the mighty general who now controls the current situation of the new era. ;

I couldn't help but mutter to myself: "This general, I have been walking on thin ice all my life. I don't know when I will be able to reach the other side!"

Hai hour time.

Night has completely enveloped both sides of the Yangtze River, with only a bright moon obscured by dark clouds appearing and disappearing.

Huben New Army Navy Camp, with more than 10,000 elite navy soldiers wearing armor and swords, ready to go.

Wu Sanjia, the mighty general of the Great New Dynasty, wearing bright light armor and a ring-shaped sword on his waist, strutted up to the reviewing stand at the Navy Camp.

At this time, dark clouds passed by and the moonlight suddenly appeared.

The cold moonlight hit Wu Sanjia's bright armor, reflecting the coldness and adding a bit of chilling air.

On the school grounds, more than 10,000 elite navy soldiers gathered in formation, waiting for General Wu Sanjia's instructions before setting off for the expedition.

Ahem!

Wu Sanjia, who was on the reviewing stand at the school ground, cleared his throat and shouted: "Soldiers of the Huben Navy of the Great New Dynasty——"

"The general is here!"

On the school field, more than ten thousand elite navy soldiers responded in unison.

Wu Sanjia said: "From the Huben New Army to the Huben Navy, from the elite infantry and cavalry to the navy warriors, I know very well that along the way, you, like me, are all throwing your lives away for the great new dynasty that is about to collapse. , shed blood;”

"Now, the treacherous prime minister Qin Ruhui has established a separate court in Jinling City and supported Prince Fu's son to ascend the throne, completely overturning the orthodox emperor of our Great New Dynasty, Emperor Lingwu;"

"Admiral Fang Tianyao of the Daxin Navy held Emperor Lingwu hostage in order to command the world. His intentions are to be punished!"

"Tonight——"

Speaking of this, Wu Sanjia suddenly raised his voice and continued: "I, General Wu Sanjia, was personally conferred by Emperor Jian'an of the Second Daxin II as the number one scholar; and was personally conferred by Emperor Lingwu of the Third Daxin Dynasty as the mighty general, who controlled the world's soldiers of the Daxin Dynasty. Commander-in-Chief of Horses;”

"The general personally led the Huben naval warriors present on the scene, took a boat down the river overnight, and went directly to Jiangyin, the base camp of Fang Tianyao, the sycophant of the New Dynasty and the naval admiral;"

"I'm here to welcome you and kill the traitor!"

Clang!

Speaking of this, Wu Sanjia suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised the sword with one arm and shouted: "My last general order;"

"If the officers and men of the Huben Navy, on their way to Jiangyin to decisively fight against the Navy traitor Fang Tianyao, see my general fall under the sword of the traitor, they must not stop charging for my general;"

"This general requires you to welcome back Emperor Lingwu and the Queen Mother from the hands of the traitor Fang Tianyao at all costs. Under the emperor's command, fight across the Yangtze River, kill the traitor Qin Ruhui, and revive our new orthodoxy. The glory of the dynasty!”

"The Huben Navy is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The Huben Navy is mighty!"

"The general is mighty!"

...

After an impassioned mobilization for the expedition, General Wu Sanjia was the first to board the ship. He stood on the bow deck of his treasure ship and watched as more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Huben Navy under his command boarded the warship.

After all the navy officers and soldiers boarded the ship, there was a long wait.

The passing thick dark clouds once again obscured the bright moon in the sky, and both sides of the Yangtze River fell into a deathly silent night. Only the river wind whistled and whistled.

Just after midnight, there was sudden movement on the dark river surface.

Su Chen, the Governor-General of Daxin and Liangjiang stationed on the south bank, indeed followed the previous agreement and used the excuse of a change of defense to relocate the Liangjiang New Army, which was parked at the Stone City Pier and was guarding the Huben New Army from crossing the river;

It provided convenience and cover for Wu Sanjia on the north bank and his Huben navy to move south along the river.

At this time, Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang and the commander-in-chief of the defense of the capital during the Great New Dynasty, was wearing Mingguang armor and a cloak. Surrounded by several confidant generals, he stood on the edge of the Stone City pier, looking at the Yangtze River under the night with burning eyes. North Shore.

"Sir, according to your instructions, all the warships on the Jiang defense have been transferred. The warships that have been replaced will arrive at the scheduled location after burning incense!"

The generals under his command immediately reported the latest situation to Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang.

Um!

Su Chen nodded, waved his hand and said, "Send a signal to Wu Sanjia on the north bank!"

"The general will get the order!"

Soon, Su Chen's soldiers lit three torches and stood on the dock of Stone City and waved them vigorously.

On the river surface shrouded in darkness, the suddenly lit torches looked particularly dazzling in the darkness.

"Report——"

"General General, the defenders on the south bank have sent a signal. The warships of the Huben Navy can cross the river!"

On the deck of the warship, He Kang, the deputy general of the Hu Ben New Army Navy, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, immediately reported the military situation to the general Wu Sanjia.

Wu Sanjia ordered without hesitation: "Pass the order, the Hu Ben Navy warships set sail!"

"Set sail!"

One order after another was passed among the Hu Ben New Army Navy warship fleet under the night.

In fact, the sails of the warships had already been raised. The soldiers on the deck only needed to pick up the anchor, and the warships could set sail under the drive of the wind.

One by one, the warships of the Hu Ben Navy set sail from the dock on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Riding the wind and waves under the night, the bow of the warship split the river surface, making bursts of beeping sounds of breaking water.

Standing on the bow deck, Wu Sanjia couldn't help but tighten the handle of the ring-headed sword tied at his waist, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Stone City Wharf on the south bank.

At the same time

Su Chen, the governor of Liangjiang at the Shitoucheng Wharf, also cast his eyes on the Hu Ben Navy fleet sailing south along the river.

Although it was shrouded in darkness, when the treasure ship that Wu Sanjia was riding passed the river waters outside the Shitoucheng Wharf, Wu Sanjia standing on the deck and Su Chen standing on the dock both grinned at the same time.

It seemed that their eyes had met through the darkness.

Going downstream, the Daxin Navy fleet, with the help of the river wind, was moving very fast.

When the east just showed a hint of fish belly white, the Hu Ben Navy fleet sailing south along the river had already appeared in the waters near Jiangyin.

Further ahead was the headquarters of the Daxin Navy, the home of the Navy Admiral Fang Tianyao.

The Hu Ben Navy fleet was moving at full speed, and the officers and soldiers of the Hu Ben Navy on the deck and in the crew cabin were all in high spirits, holding their swords tightly.

On the other hand, the soldiers on duty outside the Daxin Navy camp in front of them yawned and fell asleep after a night of hard work.

A soldier on the observation tower was dozing off against a pillar.

Suddenly, his head fell heavily and he almost fell down.

This woke him up from his drowsiness. He subconsciously looked at the river surface, and this Daxin Dynasty navy officer and soldier almost peed himself.

The river surface was full of ships!

"Enemy attack——"
