Nanjing.

After Liang Huafeng put his own flag on his own, he put Jiang Guozhu's family in house arrest and sent his guards to guard him strictly. Jiang Guozhu's family felt that the disaster was coming and cried all day long. While scolding Liang Huafeng, he also hoped that Jiang Guozhu would be able to call him.

Today, Liang Huafeng suddenly brought a team of men to the place where Jiang Guozhu's entire clan was imprisoned. Seeing a large number of soldiers surrounded Liang Huafeng, the people from the Jiang family dared not scold him, and many people began to tremble on their calves.

"Old relatives," For the safety of the entire clan, Mrs. Jiang had to come forward to have a friendship with Liang Huafeng: "The governor has treated you well these years."

"What my mother-in-law said." Unexpectedly, Liang Huafeng admitted it and nodded heavily: "Don't panic in the family. No matter what, can I still be with relatives? My mother-in-law is packed up. Today I personally send my mother-in-law out of the city, so I guarantee that no one dares to touch my mother-in-law."

Originally, Liang Huafeng arrested Jiang Guozhu's family to be hostages. Jiang Guozhu is not young anymore. Except for his son who is far away in Sichuan, the rest of his descendants are in Nanjing. Even if Jiang Guozhu shows his might and fights back to Nanjing, Liang Huafeng can use Jiang Guozhu's whole family to threaten him, making him dare not attack Nanjing.

However, Jiang Guozhu was not able to perform beyond his level. He was in a position of advance and retreat in Chizhou. After the incident, except for the Bian battalion of the Governor of Liangjiang and the small number of troops around him, the other Liangjiang troops were in chaos. Originally, Lianghuafeng had a plan but was unintentional, and Zhou Peigong's cooperation. After receiving Lianghuafeng's announcement, the Liangjiang troops were still far away from Jiang Guozhu and could not get Jiang Guozhu's orders for a while.

If outsiders usurped military power, these troops in Jiangnan might try to resist, but Liang Huafeng's prestige in the army over the years was second only to Jiang Guozhu, and everyone knew it well. Seeing that it was Liang Huafeng's coup, most of the officers immediately felt relieved and were not worried that their strength would be annexed by their old boss - everyone has been following Liang Huafeng for so many years, and they were originally his people.

There was neither a psychological burden nor an unknown fear of turning against each other. The officers and soldiers of the Jiangnan Army responded to Liang Huafeng's call and led the team back to Nanjing. The Suppression of Deng was also sent by Zhou Peigong to assist Liang Huafeng. The news from the Governor was cut off. As long as the officers were not stupid, they could understand which side had the advantage. Moreover, everyone had to have dinner. All the troops announced their support for Liang Huafeng, not to follow Admiral Liang, not to talk about war, and there would be no food to eat tonight.

In the morning, Liang Huafeng received a report from Zhou Peigong, saying that Jiang Guozhu had recognized the situation and knew that the army he had with him could not even take down a Chizhou; and even this army had begun to be in chaos. Those troops knew that Jiang Guozhu had lost control of most of the army and they had become bandits without bases. Seeing that the Biao camp was shaken, Jiang Guozhu admitted defeat and surrendered under the persuasion of the envoy sent by Zhou Peigong, and disbanded the army outside Chizhou City, and himself entered Zhou Peigong's army.

After the Governor announced his departure from the wing, the army disbanded by Jiang Guozhu surrendered to the prefect of Chizhou Xie Gao. Of course, the prefect of Xie would not be difficult for these Jiangnan officers and soldiers to allocate food and supplies again. Even Jiang Guozhu's battalion was led by the original officers, waiting for Liang Huafeng's further instructions.

The Jiang family helped the elderly and the children out of Nanjing. Liang Huafeng personally escorted them onto a large ship and kept comforting Mrs. Jiang: "Although my mother is relieved, the Governor is safe and sound, Zhou Buzheng has already bought his ticket for him; my mother can reunite with the Governor when she arrives in Sichuan."

After the Jiang family's ship set sail, Liang Huafeng waved goodbye on the shore. The ship gradually faded away, and Liang Huafeng put away the smile on his face, and a raising officer next to him had the chance to question again: "Sir, let them go? Jiang Ni has been the governor of more than ten years."

"If it was the chaotic world in the past, of course I wouldn't let go." Liang Huafeng looked at Ye Fengfan and replied coldly. Jiang Guozhu had a deep foundation in Jiangnan. According to the traditional hegemony model, not only could Jiang Guozhu's family not let go, but he also had to chase and kill Jiang Guozhu himself who was fleeing. However, Liang Huafeng knew very well that it was not the traditional chaotic world. He seized Jiang Guozhu's throne to sell more money to the Ming army in the future, and had no intention of competing with the heroes. Since this is the case, there was no need for Liang Huafeng to do anything. Anyway, he would probably surrender to Deng Ming in the future.

"Why did General Zhao declare in advance that as long as Jiang Guozhu surrendered, he would have to ensure his life is worry-free?" Liang Huafeng asked again, and the officers and soldiers of the Biao battalion around him looked at each other, and no one could tell what was wrong.

As a result, Liang Huafeng asked and answered: "Sichuan is guarding against me. If I don't obey, Sichuan can send troops to escort Jiang Guozhu back. If he really sees Sichuan soldiers coming, and Jiang Guozhu's handwritten surrender, I don't know how many cities will go down without fighting." Liang Huafeng snorted again: "If I want to manage Jiangnan like an iron bucket, Chengdu and Beijing will not be at ease. So I want to give General Zhao face and not kill anyone. It turns out that everyone is an official or something. Although Jiang Guozhu is a threat, I will also send his family to Sichuan to let Chengdu know that I have no idea of ​​competing. Let me sit on this chair and they can rest assured. In this way, Chengdu will not think about to bother me again and rush me to step down."

...

Soon, when Jiujiang received news of a mutiny in Jiangnan, Dong Weiguo hurried to meet Zhang Chao: "Great joy! Jiang Guozhu was unpopular, and he was betrayed by his relatives. Jiangnan Admiral Liang Huafeng has announced his support for the Governor, and he also asked the Governor to go to Nanjing to be the Governor of Liangjiang."

"Is this happening?" After hearing that the war had begun on the border, Zhang Chao was a little nervous, fearing that he would hear that the Jiangxi army would be defeated and the Jiangnan army rushed to Jiujiang.

"It's true." Dong Weiguo sent several letters to Zhang Chao, all of which were sent by Liang Huafeng, calling on the Jiangnan troops to refuse to obey Jiang Guozhu's orders.

After reading it, Zhang Chao was also happy: "If you do unrighteous things, you will die. Admiral Liang is really loyal and righteous."

"However, Jiang Ni is still fighting stubbornly in Chizhou. Admiral Liang asked the governor to quickly send troops to encircle and suppress Jiang Ni with him." Dong Weiguo also brought a man who was said to be the envoy of Liang Huafeng. The envoy told the Jiangxi Governor that Jiang Guozhu had too much power in Jiangnan, so Liang Huafeng was not sure of victory. If Liang Huafeng was defeated by Jiang Guozhu, Jiangxi would still encounter military disasters. Therefore, Liang Huafeng wanted to ask Zhang Chao to lead 10,000 elite troops in Jiangxi to quickly rush to Chizhou, and it was necessary to completely eliminate Jiang Guozhu; Liang Huafeng was willing to regard Zhang Chao as the governor of Liangjiang, but hoped that Zhang Chao would guarantee to promote him to the governor of Jiangnan.

"Well." After listening to Liang Huafeng's conditions, Zhang Chao pondered silently.

But Dong Weiguo tried his best to persuade Zhang Chao to accept: "Liang Huafeng is just a martial artist. If he had no full support from his master, how could he be the governor just right? Now Jiang Ni committed suicide by committing crimes. In addition to being respected by the master, who else can convince others and take the position of governor of Liangjiang?"

Zhang Chao was very excited when he heard this, but he was still a little doubtful.

Dong Weiguo further struck while the iron was hot: "Now that Jiang Guozhu is fighting stubbornly, Liang Huafeng is not sure of winning all, so the adults are of great importance; the adults personally went to Chizhou to annihilate Jiang Ni and incorporated his army. Even if Liang Huafeng is not sincere now, he will have to be the mainstay at that time."

Zhang Chao nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and was about to agree, but he stopped: "But isn't this wronging you?"

Jiangnan is richer than Jiangxi. If Zhang Chao became the governor of Liangjiang, then an old subordinate like Dong Weiguo should of course be the governor of Jiangnan.

"It's okay. If the adults change the Jiangnan officialdom to Jiangxi people at once, it may cause panic and doubtful officials in Jiangnan, and will be harmful to the great cause of the adults." Dong Weiguo looked loyal and loyal: "You may as well bring ten thousand elite soldiers to go first, and don't move the officials in Jiangnan for the time being to calm the people's hearts. The Xiaguan will make Jiangxi optimistic for the adults and become the adults' potential - wait for the adults to take root in Jiangning for a year and a half, and then change the Xiaguan and Admiral Liang's position, that's not the adults' words."

"Yes, it's true that I'm a successful country." Zhang Chao made up his mind: "No matter how late, I'll set off now and go to Chizhou to challenge the rebellion."

The excited Zhang Chao immediately vowed to set out and rushed to Jiangnan to reinforce Liang Huafeng with his troops.

Dong Weiguo stood on the top of the city and watched Zhang Chao go downstream. When the Jiangxi Navy's banner disappeared from his sight, he immediately ordered the convening of all the officers from Jiujiang to have a meeting.

Everyone looked excited when they entered the venue. Most of them had heard of civil strife in Jiangnan, and Zhang Chao was likely to ascend to the throne of the Governor of Liangjiang.

However, Dong Weiguo, who was presiding over the meeting, did not have a smile on his face. Seeing Dong Weiguo's expression, the originally lively venue gradually became quiet.

"Come here." Dong Weiguo waved his hand, and immediately soldiers carried several large boxes up and lifted them in front of everyone. There were bundles of banknotes inside. Dong Weiguo waved his hand again, and the two soldiers held a box to the ground.

"These are all money printed by the Imperial Central Bank, everyone can see clearly."

Sichuan IOU is equivalent to real money. Seeing so much money at once, many people in the house breathing rapidly.

Zhao Tianba privately told Liang Huafeng that if Jiang Guozhu could stop his horse, he might not have to slam him off the stage. After he understood, Liang Huafeng began to compliment Jiang Guozhu for being strong and strong; and Zhao Tianba said to Dong Weiguo was similar, that is, if Zhang Chao stopped when he saw the situation and did not take advantage of the civil storm in Jiangnan, then he would have forgotten his previous disobedience. Dong Weiguo then racked his brains to trick Zhang Chao into attacking Jiangnan.

Before coaxing Zhang Chao, Dong Weiguo had already packed up all his family. If Zhang Chao refused to attack Jiangnan in a hurry and continued to wait for news carefully, then Dong Weiguo would flee to Sichuan overnight. Now he finally got through the difficulties. Although Zhang Chao was instigated by him to attack Jiangnan, Dong Weiguo believed that Zhao Tianba would not oppose his coup, because Zhang Chao's previous disobedience and indifference made Zhao Tianba very angry. He complained to Dong Weiguo in private that Zhang Chao placed the interests of Jiangxi above the interests of the empire.

After hearing this, Dong Weiguo secretly made up his mind that when he became the governor of Jiangxi, he must absorb the experience and lessons of Zhang Chao and place the interests of the empire above the interests of Jiangxi at any time.

At this time, the flexible-minded people felt abnormal. Someone secretly looked into the yard and saw teams of fully armed soldiers coming in. These soldiers were all garrison officers and soldiers of Jiujiang, and were directly affiliated to Dong Weiguo who were stationed here. These Jiujiang officers and soldiers also looked as solemn and serious as their immediate superiors.

One after another, all the officers in the audience saw these Jiujiang soldiers. When they turned around and looked at Dong Weiguo, everyone obviously turned pale, and the hall was so quiet that even a needle could hear clearly that it was possible to hear a needle falling to the ground.

"Zhang Chao has nothing to do, he regards his neighbor as his enemy, and for his own selfishness, he will bring me into war in Jiangxi." Dong Weiguo said loudly, "From today on, Zhang Chaoen and I will be terrified. Do you support me or Zhang Ni?"
