Chapter 217: Jinling Is an Isolated City, Surrounded by Enemies
Soon, Tang Ziyi, deputy general of Huben's new army, was brought to Jin Wang Chen Huaian by Jin Wuwei.
When the latter saw Lu Jiang, the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army, his expression was obviously stagnant, but he tacitly understood it and did not say hello in person.
Instead, he knelt down and bowed to His Majesty the King of Jin calmly: "General Tang Ziyi, please see His Majesty the King of Jin."
"King Jin is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"No courtesy, get up and talk!"
Chen Huaian waved his hand, signaling Huben's new army deputy general Tang Ziyi to stand up and speak.
But when the latter saw that Lu Jiangdu, the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army, was still kneeling on one knee, how could he dare to stand up and talk to His Highness the King of Jin? He still knelt on one knee in front of Chen Huaian and said: "Your Highness, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, so the generals don't dare! "
Ha ha!
Chen Huaian laughed heartily twice and said with an indifferent expression: "It's up to you!"
Tang Ziyi cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have taken the liberty to come here because I want to lead the 250,000 Tiger Soldiers and Soldiers of the New Army stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River to surrender to Jingnan's army in Longcheng. Please do your part to kill the treacherous minister Qin Ruhui!"
"If His Highness the King of Jin does not object, the warships of the Longcheng Navy Fleet can go north along the river at any time and temporarily dock at the north bank wharf controlled by our new Huben Army;"
"General, I have ordered my officers and men to vacate enough tents in the Huben New Army Camp for His Highness the King of Jin and the brothers of the Longcheng Navy Fleet to rest and recuperate!"
oh?
Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows, looked at Huben's new army deputy general Tang Ziyi with interest, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that General Tang has heard something?"
"Otherwise, how could General Tang, who has a new army of 250,000 tigers and benign troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, go into danger alone and go to the treasure ship to meet the king?"
brush!
Facing Jin Wang Chen Huaian's soul torture, Tang Ziyi's expression instantly froze.
Even Lu Jiang, the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army on the side, subconsciously raised his buried head half an inch so that he could see Tang Ziyi's expression from the corner of his eye.
Lu Jiang was also curious, what kind of news could make Tang Ziyi, the deputy general with a new army of 250,000 tiger soldiers, personally come to the King of Jin's treasure ship to surrender to express his loyalty?
Tang Ziyi only hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell all the news he knew: "The general will not dare to deceive His Highness. The general has full knowledge of the news about the change of Jiangyin Navy Camp;"
"The Jiangyin Incident was caused by Wu Sanjia's insistence. It cannot represent the thoughts of the 250,000 Huben New Army soldiers stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River. His Highness the King of Jin is requested to observe carefully."
Hearing this, Chen Huaian said calmly: "What General Tang said is absolutely true. Wu Sanjia's personal behavior does not represent the entire Huben New Army;"
"So it seems that the news that Wu Sanjia died in the battle has also spread among the new Huben army?"
"Reporting to His Highness the King of Jin, the news of Wu Sanjia's death in battle is only known to the general and a few of his soldiers!"
Tang Ziyi immediately replied: "The general knows that this matter is of great importance. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and cause unnecessary commotion, the general has ordered that this news be temporarily blocked."
Um!
Chen Huaian nodded and continued to ask: "General Tang, apart from the news that Wu Sanjia died in Jiangyin, what other news do you know?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Tang Ziyi simply gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Report to Your Highness, according to the reports from hundreds of households of Yuhou's army who escaped from Jiangyin;"
"The King of the Four Seas, Fang Tianyao, has led the officers and soldiers of the Daxin Navy to surrender to the Longcheng Jingnan Navy Fleet. Emperor Lingwu and Queen Mother Su have also arrived at the Longcheng Navy Fleet Formation."
After telling everything he knew in one breath, Tang Ziyi did not feel relieved. Instead, his heart rose in his throat.
He didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at His Highness Prince Jin's expression.
Not only him, but Lu Jiang, the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army who was kneeling next to him, wanted to bury his head in his crotch.
Lu Jiang, who originally just wanted to hear some gossip, never imagined that he would hear such explosive news. Not only was Wu Sanjia killed in battle and Fang Tianyao surrendered, but Emperor Lingwu and Queen Mother Su had also been captured by His Highness Prince Jin.
The situation in the Great New Dynasty will change next, and Lu Jiang, a small lieutenant, simply does not dare to think about it, and it is not something he can think about.
If he could, he would rather he had just become deaf and heard nothing!
Hahaha!
Chen Huaian laughed heartily again, and to the ears of the two lieutenants Tang Ziyi and Lu Jiang, that bold and generous laughter sounded more or less like a life-threatening Sanskrit sound.
Being able to reach this point in troubled times is enough to prove that Tang Ziyi and Lu Jiang are not stupid.
It was only a matter of time before the King of Jin proclaimed himself emperor. It was only a matter of time.
Now, the news brought back by the soldiers of Wu Sanjia's Yuhou Army is that the orthodox emperor of the Great New Dynasty, Emperor Lingwu, and his biological mother, the Queen Mother Su, were captured by the King of Jin;
Once the news is revealed, how can His Highness the King of Jin legitimately proclaim himself emperor in the future?
After all, from the beginning of his army, Chen Huaian, the king of Jin, used the banner of "Qing Jun's side" to provide peace to heaven, rather than raising troops to rebel.
However, facing the soul torture of His Highness the King of Jin, Tang Ziyi, as a surrendering general, did not dare to deceive him in the slightest.
To put it more seriously, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Therefore, after Tang Ziyi chose to tell the truth, he handed over his wealth, life and future to Jin Wang Chen Huaian.
Lu Jiang, the deputy general of the Liangjiang New Army, is simply the kind of unlucky guy who takes advantage of himself.
After a long time, Chen Huaian finally stopped laughing and said word by word: "General Tang, I am very pleased that you have not lied to me at all, but--"
Chen Huaian changed the subject, and the hearts of Tang Ziyi and Lu Jiang also rose to their throats.
He said slowly: "The news that Wu Sanjia died in battle and Fang Tianyao surrendered are both false, but the news that Emperor Lingwu and Empress Dowager Su were welcomed into the army by the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy is not true;"
"In fact, Emperor Lingwu and Empress Dowager Su had already committed suicide by jumping into the river before the officers and soldiers of the Longcheng Navy entered the Daxin Navy Camp!"
After a pause, Chen Huaian continued: "I originally planned to lead the Longcheng Jingnan Army to break through Jinling City and put an end to the treacherous minister Qin Ruhui's chaos. After the situation is resolved, the news of Emperor Lingwu's death will be made public; "
"Since there are rumors circulating in the new Tiger Army, I have to take this opportunity to trouble General Tang to convey this news to avoid misunderstandings among the people of the world!"
"General Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Ziyi is such a smart man that he immediately clasped his hands and promised: "I will obey the order of His Royal Highness the King of Jin and make the truth of Emperor Lingwu's suicide by jumping into the river public!"
Yes!
Chen Huaian smiled and nodded, and his eyes looking at Tang Ziyi also had a little more teachable look.
In this way, through the mouth of Tang Ziyi, the deputy general of the new Tiger Army, who has the most say, the news that Emperor Lingwu of Daxin jumped into the river and committed suicide has authenticity.
From then on, there was no Emperor Lingwu Zhao Lingwu in the world, but only Chen Lingwu, his adopted son Chen Huaian.
Furthermore, Chen Huaian believed that with the wisdom of Tang Ziyi and Liangjiang Governor Su Chen, after conquering Jinling City, they would naturally take the lead in inviting His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to ascend the throne and be crowned, in order to appease the people of the world.
He would then take advantage of the situation and decline the throne three times, and it would be a natural thing for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor.
Thinking of this, Chen Huaian immediately ordered: "Deputy Generals Tang Ziyi and Lu Jiang!"
"I'm here!"
The two of them bowed their hands and clasped their fists, waiting for the king's order.
Chen Huaian said: "Lead the way ahead, follow the Longcheng Navy fleet to take Jinling City and kill the traitor Qin Ruhui!"
"I obey the order!"
