    At the cost of huge casualties, the rebel soldiers and horses finally set foot on the beaches on the left and right sides of Meizi Island. They survived the artillery fire, escaped the migratory locusts in the sky, and narrowly survived the iron sand densely packed with gunfire.  The people below are already the lucky ones among the lucky ones.  +¡ô There has never been a battle where rushing to the opponent's side and fighting with one's life has become a luxury. The rebel soldiers who rushed to the beach felt such deep sadness in their hearts at this moment, because they rushed to the opponent's side and fought with their lives.  Going to the beach does not mean the beginning of hand-to-hand combat. The officers and soldiers closest to the beach all showed up and threw thousands of smoking iron lumps at them. Although they had never seen what these were, the rebels  The soldiers all have a consensus that these iron lumps are definitely not a good thing.  It was a grenade produced in the arsenal. At the end of last year, during the battle to recapture the Hetao, this grenade was used as a weapon to bombard the Tatars north of the Yellow River, but at that time it was just an experimental product; after that battle,  Song Nan's arsenal has officially adopted this grenade as one of the main firearms produced.  Although the time was short, in two periods of time, the arsenal's main manpower and resources were used to manufacture eighty Madam Song rocket launchers, but thousands of such grenades were also produced.  It was these thousands of grenades that Song Nan took out today and threw them all at the feet of the rebel soldiers on the river beach.  Boom boom boom!  Deafening explosions came one after another, kicking up soft river mud and sand and covering the starry sky. At that moment, the rebel soldiers, densely packed like sardines on the narrow river beaches on both sides, became the best experimental subjects for the power of these hand grenades.  , the air wave of the explosion dug open spaces in the dense rebel formation. The explosion of each grenade cleared an area of ??five to six feet, and then removed the sand, rocks, and even the bodies of the rebel soldiers that were originally here.  Lifted to the sky and beyond.  On the huge dragon boat flagship of the rebels at the rear, Zhu Chenhao, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Wang Lun and others watched all this in stunned silence. They watched as their soldiers were thrown high into the air and fell to the ground like dolls. Then they saw a scene  The birth of the Great Rout.  All the rebel soldiers began to turn around and run into the water. They would rather die in the cold river than stay in the hell on the river beach. Their psychological defenses had completely collapsed. At this moment, they only cared about one thing.  : How to die more decently and more comfortably.  "What should I do? What should I do?" The muscles on Zhu Chenhao's handsome cheeks began to twitch, and his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably. He never expected that his 80,000-strong army would not even have a chance to fight Song Nan head-on.  At least 10,000 people were killed or injured on the river, and at least 20,000 people died during the flood. It is impossible to estimate the number of soldiers and horses killed and injured in the scene just now on the river beach. But if the explosion continues, the remaining 50,000 people will only survive at most.  If half come to participate in hand-to-hand combat, the result will be defeat.  He didn't hate the soldiers and horses that fled on the river beach, because he knew that anyone who suffered such ruthless killing would be heartbroken and had no fighting spirit. What he hated was that he confidently fought to the death with Song Nan, but the result was everywhere.  He was defeated at every turn, and Zhu Chenhao was useless in front of Song Nan.  Then a very serious question rushed into his mind: If he loses to Song Nan, then this incident will also be defeated. Where will he go?  Jiangxi is gone, Nanchang is gone, Jiujiang Nankang is gone, all his escape routes have been cut off, and in this vast world, he suddenly has nowhere to go.  Zhu Chenhao turned around numbly and looked at the pale-faced ¡®ministers¡¯ behind him. From their eyes, Zhu Chenhao did not get the slightest comfort or courage.  "Where is my son?" The old voice came to mind on the deck. Zhu Chenhao raised his eyes and saw Princess Lou supporting the old princess who was holding a dragon-head crutch and appeared in the firelight surrounded by a group of maids and women.  .  Mr. Lou was dressed neatly and brightly, looking dignified and quiet. The old princess was also dressed in fine clothes and had a calm expression.  Zhu Chenhao walked forward quickly and knelt down in front of the old princess. Tears burst out of his eyes and he burst into tears and said: "Mother, the child is incompetent. The child has failed." The old princess looked straight at Zhu Chenhao without even looking at him.  Staring at the sight of densely packed officers and soldiers rushing down the river beach in the distance, harvesting the lives of rebel soldiers.  The battle there can no longer be called a battle. The rebel soldiers had no fighting spirit at all. Those who resisted were killed immediately. Most of them knelt in the cold river water, raised their hands and lowered their heads in silence.  "Son, do you remember the advice your daughter-in-law Lou has given you in the past few years? Lou cried and admonished you many times, asking you not to have foolish thoughts, but you took her words as irritation and not only scolded her  , and almost deprived her of her position as princess. "Zhu Chenhao looked at Lou, who looked at him affectionately, with no trace of blame in his expression; Zhu Chenhao suddenly remembered the happy time he had spent with Lou before.  She is a famous talented woman in Jiangxi. After marrying her, the relationship between husband and wife became very harmonious. It was just for the sake of rebellion.It was only after this happened that he gradually became alienated from himself.  A few years ago, Zhu Chenhao got a good painting called "Couple Picking Woodcutter". When he was happy, he asked Mr. Lou to write a poem. The poem he wrote was: The woman is talking to the husband, the husband is listening, and the husband is picking firewood.  It should be noted that the burden is light.  Yesterday, the rain outside the window made the moss slippery. Do not go to dangerous places with moss.  Zhu Chenhao naturally knew the meaning of "Don't go to dangerous places with green moss", so he was furious, tore up the painting, and never went to Lou's room again.  Even so, Mr. Lou often tried to persuade her in front of her. He was so focused on planning big things that he turned a deaf ear to her words.  If Lou hadn't given birth to his heir apparent, he would have almost deprived Lou of her position as princess and relegated her to the cold palace.  Zhu Chenhao's heart was filled with pain. He felt what regret felt like, but there was no medicine for regret in this world.  "My beloved concubine, I don't know what to say. In the past, Zhou Dynasty destroyed his country by using women's words, but I perished without using women's words. My dear concubine, I can't help you." Mrs. Lou said softly: "Husband, please don't blame yourself. All of this is for nothing.  It's fate. What are your husband's plans next?" Zhu Chenhao said dumbly, "What can I do? Now that the matter is over, I have no idea at all."  The old lady has discussed it. The old lady and the Queen Mother have a long history and friendship. If your husband can immediately rein in the situation, maybe the Queen Mother can save his life. For the sake of the inheritance of King Ning, please surrender as soon as possible. The Emperor is a generous man.  If you admit your mistake, we are all one family. Maybe he can forgive you for your mistake this time." "What?" Zhu Chenhao screamed, "Surrender? How could you not see what happened to King Anhua?  "Your Majesty, you must not surrender, otherwise you will be punished like King Anhua, and no one in the palace will be forgiven," Li Shishi shouted.  "Yes, Your Majesty, we must not surrender. Although we are defeated in this battle, we must immediately gather the remaining soldiers and leave here. Our ship is big, and Song Nan and the others cannot catch up without decent warships. Calculate that we are defeated, how many more do we have left?"  We have ten warships and at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops and horses. Although we cannot return to Jiangxi, Anqing Prefecture is still in our hands. We will go to Anqing Prefecture to rest first, and then we can go north to attack Fengyang Prefecture. Anhui is very mountainous.  If it doesn't work, we can lead our troops to hide in the Dabie Mountains to recuperate and plan for big things. If we surrender now, I won't regret dying. Your Majesty, you will definitely be killed by Zhu Houzhao." "Stop," the old princess shouted.  Silver hair was trembling with anger. He waved his crutch and beat Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Lun and others indiscriminately. He said: "It was the instigation of you bunch of rats that caused the disaster in Prince Ning's Mansion today. Now you still refuse to give up.  Do you want all the people in Prince Ning¡¯s Palace to become bandits?¡± Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi, Wang Lun and others did not dare to escape. They all shrank their heads and shrugged, letting the canes hit their heads and faces like raindrops.  Zhu Chenhao stepped forward and took the old princess's arm and said: "Mother, don't blame them. These are the son's own ideas. My son has long wanted to conquer the world. They are just assisting me." The old princess shouted: "Then you  Say, do you still want to make a mistake? It is better to listen to Lao Shen and surrender immediately to end the dispute. Even if I kneel down in front of the Queen Mother to plead for mercy, I still want to preserve my lineage as Prince Ning. " Zhu Chenhao bit his lip tightly. After a while.  He shook his head and said: "There is no turning back when I draw my bow. I haven't lost yet. I still have Anqing Mansion, dozens of warships, tens of thousands of men and horses, and I still have capital. I can't leave my life and death to Zhengde."  He will not spare me, Song Nan will not spare me, and the officials in Beijing will not spare me; since I made a mistake, I will make it to the end and see how things turn out."  The old princess's face was pale, her eyes were full of disappointment, she shook her head slightly and said, "That's all, you have gone crazy. I won't persuade you anymore, and I can't persuade you anymore." Zhu Chenhao held on to the old princess's arm.  The old princess threw it away, looked back and smiled at Lou: "Ms. Lou, did you hear it?" Lou said calmly: "My daughter-in-law has heard it, and this is all expected." "But we  Go, I don¡¯t want to see all this anymore.¡± Mrs. Lou said, ¡°Yes, my wife is with the old lady.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry for you. You are a virtuous wife, and I am very satisfied with you.  , support me." Mrs. Lou gently stepped forward to support the old princess's arm. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slowly turned around. Zhu Chenhao stood awkwardly with his arms stretched out, not knowing what to do.  Mrs. Lou took two steps, then suddenly turned back to Zhu Chenhao and said with a smile: "Husband, I can no longer serve you, and I will not be able to see what happens in the future. No matter what, I will wish you good health and your wish will come true.  I hope your husband will take this very seriously." Zhu Chenhao heard that the words were wrong and was thinking about it, but when he saw Mr. Lou lowering his head and saying a blessing, he turned around and looked at the old princess. The two of them walked quickly to the side of the ship with smiles on their lips.  Bian, in the exclamations of everyone, the two of them jumped up, and with a pop, they were submerged into the rolling river.
