    Song Nan led tens of thousands of troops on a simultaneous march, and arrived at Jiangpu County in Jiangbei on February 13th of the eighth year of Zhengde. They marched southward from Shandong. The soldiers and horses rushed on the road with little rest in between, and the army was slightly tired.  + Song Nan had to do this because he knew the importance of time. If Zhu Chenhao's rebels really fell into the trap and went down the river, their marching speed along the rolling water of the Yangtze River would definitely be beyond his own ability.  And his troops are almost purely infantry, and they carry a large number of heavy firearms and supplies. If they don't travel day and night, they may have missed the best time to set up an ambush when they arrive, and they will be in a passive situation.  Song Nan has not yet received the news from the front, and he does not know whether the rebels will fall into the trap and take the risk to attack Nanjing. However, Song Nan has a backup plan. If Zhu Chenhao does not fall for the trick and chooses to retreat to Jiangxi, he can  Going up the river, they recaptured important towns such as Anqing and Jiujiang step by step, approaching Jiangxi, and tightened the rope around Zhu Chenhao's neck step by step.  Relatively speaking, Song Nan is actually more willing to use this backup plan, because this plan is more reliable and almost invincible.  If you play against Zhu Chenhao in Nanjing, the difficulty will increase a lot.  The reason is very simple. From a mental point of view, once Zhu Chenhao's rebels choose to attack Nanjing, they must be determined to abandon their hometown in Jiangxi and fight to the death. The final bite of the trapped beast is the most deadly and terrifying.  Judging from the situation of the battle itself, this battle is undoubtedly a battle on the water, and Zhu Chenhao is known as having thousands of warships and a powerful navy; most of the troops he leads are infantry from inside and outside the capital, and fighting on the water is  This is the first time for a eldest girl to sit in a sedan chair. Whether she can make a difference is yet to be seen.  The news that Duke Zhen Guo led his army to Nanjing caused a sensation in the whole city of Nanjing. During this period of time, rumors were flying all over the city that the rebels were about to attack Nanjing.  Especially after Anqing defended the east gate of Nanjing, a sense of panic filled the city, and everyone was looking for definite news about whether the rebels would attack.  This time, Duke Zhenguo led his army to Jiangpu County and set up camp, which confirmed this speculation. There is no need to find out anymore. I am afraid this matter is true.  The people in the capital who had been at ease for too long were in a conflicting mood. They were a little panicked, but at the same time they felt that things were not that bad because of the arrival of the imperial army.  Especially when it was rumored that the head coach of the army was Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo, many people breathed a sigh of relief.  Without him, this was Song Nan, the Duke of Zhenguo who put down the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, captured the rebellion of King Anhua, severely damaged the Tatar troops and recovered the Hetao. With him personally in charge, what else could be scary?  In the afternoon of that day, Nanjing military and political officials gathered at Pukou Pier to welcome the Duke of the town.  At the end of the afternoon, under the golden spring sun, a warship appeared in everyone's sight, flying the Yellow Dragon flag and Song Nan's handsome flag.  After docking, Song Nan walked out of the boat majestically, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon python robe and a jade belt hanging from his waist. Dozens of well-built imperial guards filed down behind him.  ??Officials from the six ministries of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Affairs Department, the Left-behind Department, the Fifth Military Governor's Office, and even the Imperial Academy and other civil servants came to the dock to greet him.  Many of them are old acquaintances of Song Nan, and the most familiar one is Qian Taichang, the admiral of the left-behind department in Nanjing. After this person was taken out of the regiment camp and sent to Nanjing, he was given the position of admiral of the left-behind department in Nanjing as a consolation prize.  The last time Song Nan came to Nanjing, this king had not yet taken office. This time, we did meet old friends.  Of course, there are also people who are familiar with each other. Huang Jue, the minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, is also one. In addition, Chen Huishi, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Tao of the Ministry of Works, Song Chao of the Ministry of Rites, and Shi Zhongjiang are all acquaintances. They say they are familiar, but they were there that day.  Zhu Chenhao once had a drink together on the flower boat, and on that night, Song Nan assassinated Fang Qingshan after drinking.  Several acquaintances were a little embarrassed when they saw Song Nan. Qian Taichang was the only one. Huang Jue, Chen Huishi and others were embarrassed because they had been in close contact with Zhu Chenhao, and the Duke of Zhen in front of them had witnessed it with his own eyes. Now  Zhu Chenhao rebelled, and they were terrified all day long, fearing that the fire would burn their heads, so they didn't even dare to look at Song Nan.  Song Nan greeted the officials with his hands raised. Seeing the embarrassed expressions of those officials, he knew it and smiled at them specially: "My lords, you are all well. I never thought that I would see you again in Nanjing."  My lords, I¡¯m really happy.¡± Song Chao, the Minister of Etiquette, who had a slightly lower mental capacity, mistakenly thought that Song Nan was going to talk about old things. His legs became weak and he knelt down involuntarily, saying with a trembling voice: ¡°I am guilty, I am ashamed.  I am so grateful to the Holy Lord that I can just let the Duke of Zhen go down without complaining." All the officials who did not know the inside story were all shocked. When Huang Jue and others saw Jiang kneeling on the ground, they were also affected and knelt down one after another to complain.  crime.  Song Nan laughed and said, "What are you doing?" Jiang Mingming said, "We are confused and blind. We had a relationship with the traitor Zhu Chenhao back then, but we didn't know that he was an ambitious traitor and the Duke of Zhenguo.  He must be here to convey the holy will to punish our sins." The officials were surprised to see this.He used to have a close relationship with Zhu Chenhao. I am afraid Song Nan knew about this matter. Considering that Song Nan is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, these things will naturally not escape his eyes. Now that Song Nan is personally going to suppress the thieves, he is the first to deal with it.  It must be these officials who had been in contact with Zhu Chenhao. These people simply apologized themselves.  Song Nan laughed and said: "Hey, what are you doing? I'm not here to punish you. Zhu Chenhao's ambition is good, but he hides it very well. I think you adults must not know his intentions, so he  If just being acquainted with him is a crime, wouldn¡¯t I also be guilty? I also had frequent contacts with Zhu Chenhao, and we had drinks and chats with him, and we even had business relationships with him in private.  I am dissatisfied with the fact that Zhu Chenhao is my first big customer for the real estate I developed in Baizhifang in the capital. If you say so, shouldn¡¯t I also go to the emperor to plead guilty?¡±  When people felt relieved, it seemed that Duke Zhen was not going to pursue this matter. A big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart. On the contrary, he was glad that he could talk about the matter today, otherwise this matter would always be a bomb sooner or later.  Become a basis for criticism by others.  But Song Nan's words rang in his ears again: "Of course, I mean the person who was deceived by Zhu Chenhao. If there is any ulterior motives between you and Zhu Chenhao, then let's do it separately."  Let's forget about it. You should examine yourself and if there is anything wrong, you must confess it in time. Countering the rebellion is the priority now, but after the rebellion, there will still be liquidation. This is not only for you adults, but also for you.  I tell all the adults here, it¡¯s too late to confess now. If you are found out later, you will be guilty of conspiracy.¡± Huang Jue, Jiang Yiyi and others just stood up. After hearing this, they immediately knelt down again and said, Jiang Yiyi.  He said in a trembling voice: "Master Song, Xiaguan has done nothing to harm the imperial court. His friendship with Zhu Chenhao was due to friendship. Zhu Chenhao gave Xiaguan a concubine, but Xiaguan did not dare to accept it. Because  Zhu Chenhao is still very dissatisfied with his subordinates. "Song Nan saw that Huang Jue and others looked unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Master Huang, Master Song, did Zhu Chenhao give you anything good?"  Huang Jue's face turned pale, and he wiped his sweat and said: "Xiaguan will go back and expel the woman now. Xiaguan deserves to die. Zhu Chenhao did send a woman to Xiaguan as a concubine, but Xiaguan actually accepted it greedily. It's really shameful."  Damn it." Song Nan pointed at those people and said, "You all accepted the concubines he gave, right?" Those people wiped their sweat and nodded, and Song Nan laughed and said, "That's it.  What's the matter? It's a custom among officials in the Jiangnan officialdom, so it's nothing to make a fuss about. However, Zhu Chenhao naturally has an ulterior motive for giving you concubines, so it's better for you to let them go." "Yes.  "Yes, I will send those women to Duke Zhen immediately after I return." Song Nan rolled his eyes and scolded: "Why are you sending them to me? Do you want Zhu Chenhao to stay with me?"  "Yes, yes, yes, my words are inappropriate. Damn it." Song Nan waved her hands and said, "Get up, please check those women to see if they have done anything to spy on Zhu Chenhao. If there is nothing wrong with them."  , even if you are expelled from the government, it doesn't matter. All in all, this matter is not a big deal. My lords, you should also do your own self-examination. As far as I know, Zhu Chenhao is a big deal in your Nanjing officialdom.  , they are planting eyes and ears around you, so be careful." Several officials' expressions changed slightly, and they thought to themselves, it turns out that the Duke of Zhen is in control of everything Zhu Chenhao did in Nanjing.  The woman under the trap will be a barrel of explosives and should be disposed of quietly after returning to avoid catastrophe.  Before Song Nan, the Duke of Zhen, said much as he got off the boat, an official confessed and confessed, which made all the officials in Nanjing feel a huge pressure. It seemed that the Duke of Zhen had secretly investigated the old people in Nanjing's officialdom.  It would be a big mistake to think that he knew nothing about Nanjing officialdom.  However, the generosity shown by the Duke of Zhen was unexpected. It was completely inconsistent with the rumors that Song Nan Yaizhen would retaliate for his cunning and cunning behavior. Maybe the Duke of Zhen did not care about it because of the important matter at hand.  In any case, these things should be put aside. The most important thing at the moment is the counter-insurgency plan. If Zhu Chenhao really invades Nanjing, he will still have to rely on the governor to ensure the safety of Nanjing.
