Chapter 878

"Your Highness, you must not. There are still many important issues in the state of Chu to be decided by your highness. How can your highness stay in Jinling City! "

after the atmosphere in the main hall stagnated for a while, Sima Hao cried out.

"Presumptuous! This is also the place where you make a lot of noise! " As soon as Sima Hao's voice fell, Qian Dafu immediately reprimanded him severely.

Sima Hao was shocked. At this time, he realized that he was facing the emperor of the state of Dayu. Because he lived in Lin'an all the year round, he had no respect for the royal family.

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. Naturally, he saw that Sima Hao had no awe for him. Seeing is better than hearing. Now he finally understood the position of the royal family in the eyes of these Jiangnan aristocrats.

Sima Hao, who is sensitive to politics, will neglect the respect for the royal family because of his habit. What will happen to other aristocrats?

Now he felt more and more that it was right to let the Jiangnan aristocracy and the merchant Council attack each other. As long as their influence disappeared, the Royal influence could control the south.

Kneeling on the ground, Li Chuyuan is secretly pleased to see this. This time, he finally sees Sima Hao shriveled.

Xiao Ming snorted softly, and he said naked: "I have heard about the reputation of your Sima family for a long time, but you should remember that you are all the people of the state of Dayu in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. What the royal family gives you, the royal family can also get it back."

Sima Hao looks gloomy, but still forced out a smile, he said: "emperor, I'm just in a hurry, after all, the country can't be without a monarch, this vassal state can't be without a vassal."

"Isn't Li Chuyuan the king of Chu? The place where he is is is your royal court. If you want to stay in Jinling City, I will also agree. "

Sima Hao and Li Chuyuan have been his cards for a long time. Now they have been won by Xiao Ming for three years. He is really not reconciled, but he also knows that he is no longer able to argue.

So he said, "yes, emperor, but Lin'an is busy with government affairs, so I can't stay. "

Xiao Ming nodded. Then he said to Li Chuyuan," the merchant Council colludes with the barbarians and bewitches the common people. On one side of the trouble, it is the disorderly officials and thieves. Today, I will fight against it with Wang Shi. "

" thank you, Emperor longen. " Li Chuyuan was relieved. Now he is out of danger.

Set this matter, Li Chuyuan let Sima Hao go back first, and told Sima Hao to provide convenience for the Royal Army after returning to Lin'an.

Sima Hao sneered in his heart, but his mouth was full of promise. For him, he would not provide even a grain of food for the Royal Army.

Seeing Sima Hao leave, Li Chuyuan looks gloomy. He turns to look at Xiao Ming and says in a sad voice, "my father resents me, hates me, and doesn't believe me. Sima's ambition is to control me, and the Cao family even wants to destroy me. It's really sad that there is no place for Li Chuyuan in the state of Chu."

Xiao Ming said: "you don't have to belittle yourself. The disadvantages of Chu state are not so bad in a day. Even if there is no merchant Council, you will succeed to the throne in the future."

Li Chuyuan sighed slightly. He said, "I have nothing to ask for now. I just want to be rich and prosperous in the next half of my life."

"What's the difficulty? I've prepared a large house for you in Qingzhou. You'll like it when you see it. " Xiao Ming is smiling.

It's useful to keep Li Chuyuan. After all, the Li family still has influence on the people. Only Li Chuyuan is there. He can play this card at any time. If he dies, he won't have to play.

"Thank you, Emperor." Li Chuyuan sincerely said that he believed in Xiao Ming, because the third prince is still living well in Bashu.

Xiao Ming was so kind to the rebellious third prince that he believed he would keep his promise to himself.

With a smile on his lips, Xiao Ming asks Li Chuyuan to go back to rest and leave the rest to him.

After Li Chuyuan left, Qian Dafu said with emotion: "the name of the emperor's benevolence has spread all over the world, and Li Chuyuan is also loyal, but it's a pity that the old king of Chu didn't see through it. "

" he's smart but he's mistaken. If he wakes up early, why should he end up like this? " Xiao Ming said angrily that the king of Chu was responsible for the situation in Jiangnan.

After a few words with Qian Dafu, Xiao Ming drew up an imperial edict and sent it to Jinling camp. He ordered Lu Fei to immediately cross the Yangtze River south and attack Songjiang and Jiaxing.

Jinling camp, after getting Xiao Ming's order, Lufei immediately ordered the general to go to Songjiang and Jiaxing with him.

On the dock, the warships of Qingzhou navy have been replenished. Each of them led 20000 people to board the ship and went out to sea along the Yangtze River. They landed near Songjiang and Jiaxing from the sea.

One night march, the next morning, Lufei landed in the east of Songjiang. On the ship, the soldiers loaded three days of rations in their combat backpacks and then got off the ship one after another.

"Songjiang is less than a day away from here. These rations are enough. After all, the warships are at sea, and we can get supplies at any time."

Lu Fei pointed to the landing site on the map and the location of Songjiang city.

Around him are the teachers of the first and second divisions, one called fangfangcheng, and the other Guo Ming."There are 40000 soldiers stationed in Songjiang city. According to the intelligence of the secret guards, they all use old flint guns provided by France. They have 72 guns. They are all traditional city guns, and their range is similar to that of the early Qing Dynasty guns." The house city said.

Guo Ming frowned, he said: "these guns can still pose a threat to us, the scattered line can be used."

"Well, that's right. This time, the first generation of Huben was first equipped with Falcon rifles. Don't shame me. I'll only give you two days to go south to Songjiang city. "

" yes, commander. " Fangfangcheng and Guo Ming cried out loudly that they didn't want to lose to Luo Xin's people.

After that, they led their troops to Songjiang city. Half a day later, they saw Songjiang city standing on the plain.

At the same time, the parliament army of Songjiang city also saw this army.

"General, you see, this army's dress is really strange!" said a general on the wall.

Yao Hongtao, the former general of the old king of Chu, was in charge of guarding Songjiang city. Under the temptation of money from the merchant Council, he chose to betray the king of Chu after his death.

Under the attack of Li Chuyuan's army, he beat back the attack of Li Chuyuan's army several times with his trained new army.

But when he saw the army clearly, the light cloud on his face disappeared, and he said in surprise, "no, this is the northern army. It can't be wrong. Although they are wearing helmets, their uniforms are the same." Yao Hongtao said.

He once followed the king of Chu to investigate the deployment of Jinling City and knew the northern army.

The soldiers were a little flustered when they heard that the northern army had defeated the barbarians. Can they resist them now?
