Chen Long's face was dull, Shaoqing, and he hugged his head, looking painful.

"how so……"

"Tilong, if you don't want to follow me, you can go home. This Northern Expedition in Myanmar Town has nothing to do with you. You and I have no relationship with you anymore. Whether I win, lose, live or die has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Ruxun said seriously.

Chen Long was looking up suddenly.

"Mr. Xiao, I, Chen Long, are not such people! I mean...I...I mean...I..."

"There is no other way to go, Tilong, tell me, are you willing to follow me to fight against rebellion and rescue Your Majesty?"

"I...I..."

Chen Long was hesitating for a while, and finally showed a ruthless look on his face and gritted his teeth: "I do! I want to ask Chen Yiguan in person! Where did he write the teachings of the saints? This traitor who is so ruthless!"

"Okay! Since that's the case, it's time to go! Tilong, how many boats do you have and how many reliable people do you have?"

Chen Longzheng said, "This time I came to Zhenjiang to bring back the porcelain ordered by the French, so I only brought three boats and a little guard, and most of the rest were recruited sailors."

"How many guards?"

"Twenty people per ship, a total of sixty people."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Enough! Immediately select capable people to inform all places, so that all our merchant ships will go back. Do not stay. Time is too long. When the news of the coup reaches Nanjing, once someone reports it, we will have no place to hide in Jiangnan."

"Yes! My subordinate understands! Go and do it now!"

Chen Long was about to run away.

"Wait a moment!"

Xiao Ruxun called Chen Longzheng out of his words, and then said, "Tilong, after you have arranged the manpower, take me to Nanjing by boat. My brother Xiao Ruzhi is in Nanjing. I want to take him with me, otherwise Chen Yiguan will definitely harm him."

Chen Longzheng suddenly realized and nodded quickly: "I understand!"

Afterwards, Chen Longzheng immediately took action and quickly went out to arrange the situation. He sent more than a dozen people to the surrounding cities where there were Myanmar merchant ships doing business, and issued an urgent warning to them of 100,000 yuan.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Long completed the order and immediately ordered the ship to set off towards Nanjing. The other two ships continued to complete the unfinished tasks and returned to Myanmar together after the command ship came back.

Zhenjiang is not far from Nanjing. At noon, the ship arrived at the docking terminal near Nanjing, and then Chen Long was taking Xiao Ruxun toward Nanjing City quickly.

Before entering the city, out of caution, Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Hu and Xu Yong to go out to inquire about the news and learned that everything in Nanjing was the same, and there was no special change. No one even mentioned the coup in the capital. Everyone was living a life without any turbulence as usual.

Thanks to the backward communication methods of this era, Xiao Ruxun has reason to believe that if this was not the Ming Dynasty, but the late Qing Dynasty hundreds of years later, if he wanted to do the same thing, it would be very difficult.

A telegram from Beijing was filmed, and Nanjing was in panic.

Not like now, Xiao Ruxun can still have so much precious time to arrange it calmly.

Xiao Ruxun felt relieved and followed Chen Longzheng into Nanjing and went straight to Xiao Ruzhi's mansion.

Xiao Ruzhi was in the mansion and saw Xiao Ruxun coming, her eyes wider than anyone else. After listening to Xiao Ruxun’s words, she became stunned.

"What happened?"

"Yes, third brother, you can't wait any longer. Get the fine line up immediately, call my sister-in-law and nephew, and leave immediately, don't stop or take leave, follow me immediately."

Xiao Ruzhi finally realized that things were urgent and did not have time to say anything, so she immediately arranged it.

There were not many people in Xiao Ruzhi's mansion, and most of them were old servants, so he secretly ordered the old servant to rectify the fine and soft work with him. He took a car from the back door and followed Xiao Ruxun and Chen Longzheng to leave Nanjing City, headed straight to the dock to board the ship, and then the boat quickly left Nanjing City.

"Ji Xin, what should I do with my eldest brother and my second brother?"

Xiao Ruzhi only came to her senses at this time and was worried about Xiao Rulan and Xiao Ruhui who were far away in the northwest border.

"I have asked someone to help me, and it should be time to go. If he can accomplish this, the lives of the eldest and second brothers should be fine."

"Who helps? What if this...can't catch up?"

"My old acquaintance in North Korea, Mr. Liu Huangshang will help me. Third brother, there is no other way at the moment. It's all my fault. I... cough cough..."

Xiao Ruxun felt confused and covered her chest and couldn't help coughing.

Xiao Ruzhi quickly helped Xiao Ruxun caress her back.

"It makes no sense to say this now. Ruxun, are you really planning to fight the Northern Expedition? This... this is really..."

"Brother."

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath: "I have no other way except the Northern Expedition. Shen Yiguan wants to kill me and destroy Myanmar. I will not sit still and wait for death. I have 100,000 soldiers, why can't I let go?"

"Hundreds of thousands?"

Xiao Ruhui was shocked: "Ruxun, what have you done in Myanmar? How could there be a 100,000 army in such places in Myanmar?"

"You will know when you go."

Xiao Ruxun's face was solemn: "And as long as I start a war against the Northern Expedition, even if my elder brother and second brother are unfortunately caught by Shen Yiguan, Shen Yiguan will not dare to hurt his elder brother and second brother. He still needs his elder brother and second brother to threaten me, but it doesn't matter. Shen Yiguan's relatives stay in Zhejiang. If I raise an army, I will definitely dispatch the navy to raid Shen Yiguan's hometown from the sea to capture his relatives. I think he dares to hurt his elder brother and second brother!"

Xiao Ruhui opened her mouth and didn't say anything.

In the afternoon of the same day, the ship returned to Zhenjiang Prefecture and would go to the Yangtze River Estuary with the other two ships, then turn south and head towards the South Ocean.

Xiao Ruxun’s guess is correct. Shen Yiguan did arrange 600 miles on land to urgently transmit the news of the new emperor’s ascension to the throne, and also made full use of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou to deliver this message to the areas along the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou.

However, they were not very lucky. They encountered a headwind on the way south, and the fleet arrived in Nanjing three days late.

In these three days, all the merchant ships from the ports along the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal received urgent news from Myanmar. The ships coming to do business were basically official merchant ships organized by Zhennan Hou Mansion. They obeyed the orders very much, let alone such orders.

Many ships left the local area without even having time to ask for cargo, which made the partners confused.

When the last Myanmar merchant ship sailed through Zhenjiang Prefecture and fled to the Yangtze River Estuary, the first batch of messengers sent by the imperial court to announce the news finally arrived in Nanjing.

Only then did the people of Nanjing realize that their emperor had been replaced.

They also realized that the great hero General Xiao Ruxun was actually a rebellious thief.

However, just like the situation in the capital city, the transmission of this news was just the beginning of a large-scale confusion of thought.

Especially in the southeast, even many scholars are half-doubted about this news, and there are many people who do not believe it at all.

They all asked Chen Yiguan to give an accurate explanation, why Zhu Yijun abdicated and what was going on, they had to listen to the truth.

This is particularly obvious among the poor people who have been farmed and studied and passed on their families.

However, the government didn't care much about this at all. A group of scholars said whatever they wanted, but it would not delay anyway.

However, people kept reporting to government officials in various places that merchant ships from Myanmar disappeared within two or three days.
