    Zhu Chenhao and the rebel officials were very suspicious. They didn't know what kind of trick Song Nan was playing. It was going to be a fight to the death. What did he send someone to load in a small boat for?  Doubts remain doubts. The ownerless boat floating on the river needs to be taken a look. Wang Lun ordered a dozen soldiers to ride the boat and row towards the boat carefully. The soldiers on the boat were also very nervous.  , after going around several times, he used a long bamboo pole to pick up the white cloth covering the small boat from a distance; this was not a big deal, and a dozen soldiers under the exposed thing were stunned.  There are two large red coffins placed side by side in Xiaozhoushan!  The scarlet eyes were dazzling and conspicuous above the blue water, which was very strange.  "Damn it! It's so bad luck." The leader of the team spat and cursed. However, the panic was only temporary. It was just a sudden visual impact. For these soldiers, dead people were already commonplace, let alone two  It was just a coffin, but he calmed down quickly.  "Boss, there seems to be a letter on the coffin." A soldier pointed at the top of the coffin and shouted.  The little boss looked carefully and saw a letter placed flatly on the lid of a coffin, pressed with a small golden hairpin. The river wind blew a corner of the envelope, and it seemed that the letter and the golden hairpin would soon be blown down the river.  middle; the little leader immediately ordered the boat to be rowed closer, reached for the golden hairpin and envelope, and ignored the small boat carrying the coffin. He ordered to turn around and row back. After a while, the golden hairpin and letter were delivered to Zhu Chenhao on the tower.  .  Zhu Chenhao was shocked when he saw the golden hairpin at first sight. The golden hairpin seemed familiar. He took a closer look and shouted in horror: "This is the golden hairpin on my beloved concubine's head. Where did Song Nan get it?"  Come? Could it be that my beloved concubine and mother were captured by him?" The officials were also puzzled. Liu Yangzheng reminded: "Your Majesty, isn't there a letter?" Zhu Chenhao quickly picked up the letter and opened it.  The ink is densely covered with dragons and phoenixes, but it is a letter written by Song Nan himself.  "Prince Ning, let's call you this for the last time when we meet. But in fact, you are already a rebellious minister and rebel thief of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that I don't want to call you that. You and I are also old acquaintances. Although we have had conflicts, you  I don¡¯t have much personal grudges. This is a private message, so I don¡¯t need to accuse you.¡± Zhu Chenhao sneered and continued reading.  "A few years ago, you and I first met in the capital at the emperor's wedding. At that time, the prince's elegant demeanor was impressive. Although we didn't have much contact with each other after that, Song Mou admired the prince very much in his heart.  And respect, but what I didn¡¯t expect was that the prince went astray and had a rebellious heart for a long time, which was embarrassing and incomprehensible. Song was also heartbroken. " Zhu Chenhao spat and cursed in a low voice, and continued.  Read the letter.  "Actually, Song seems to be able to understand the prince's behavior. When King Anhua rebelled, Song once asked him why he did this. His answer can definitely represent your feelings. He said that he was also a Tai  The blood of the ancestors has the qualifications to dominate the world. In the past, King Yan Jingnan successfully ascended to Dabao, which was a successful example. I think it was King Yan who set the precedent that gave you the basis for action.  "To be honest, I don't have much interest in who of your Zhu family ascends to the world or who dominates the world; the world belongs to your old Zhu family, and you, the descendants of the Zhu family, can rob it as much as you like."  You have forgotten one important thing. You are robbing the throne at the expense of depleting the financial resources and lives of the people in the world, and at the expense of the lives of the people. Every dispute will lead to thousands of miles of white land, millions of people famine, smoke everywhere, and hunger and death in the fields.  , and then in exchange for the suffering of hundreds of millions of people, you are sitting in the world and enjoying the imperial power. Is this fair? You must say that the lives of the people are like straw. They are all subjects and they should sacrifice their lives and suffer for the imperial power. This is  They are born to have a mission; but I tell you, you are wrong. Your life is not much nobler than that of the common people. If you are not born into a royal family, you are just a mediocre person, a dog-slaughterer on the street, so it actually doesn¡¯t matter.  Separate. The prince is a smart man and will definitely think about this problem and understand what I mean." Zhu Chenhao's face turned pale and he cursed angrily: "I'm afraid Song is crazy.  People have said these thoughts, but I don¡¯t know why, but they are willing to share their thoughts with you, Prince Ning. Maybe it is the fate between you and me. Originally, I thought I could become good friends with the prince, but I didn¡¯t expect that we have ended up today.  It can be seen that the world is unpredictable, even the gods and ghosts are unpredictable. Now our army is surrounded here, and Anqing Mansion is an isolated city. If the prince is a smart man, he should not make unnecessary resistance. If the prince puts the lives of soldiers and civilians at risk.  If it is serious, we should open the city and surrender to avoid another war and ruin lives. The prince will exchange one life for the lives of tens of thousands of people, and he will be praised by the people in the future. Why not seek fame after his death when he knows that he will lose?  A certain person was the first to praise this move in the court, which can be regarded as the prince reining in the situation." Zhu Chenhao sneered several times and suppressed his anger.?Look at the last few sentences of the letter.  "A few days ago after the battle at Meizizhou, our soldiers found the bodies of two women when they were salvaging corpses from the river. According to the identification of Mr. Huang Jue, the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, they seemed to be Mr. Ning Zunqin and Ning Wangfei Lou. Song did not dare  I believe that the two corpses were put into coffins and sent to the prince for identification. If it were not for Mr. Zunqin and Princess Ning, the prince would not have to worry about it. If it were for Mr. Zunqin and Princess Ning, I would have ordered the two coffins to be buried.  Song didn't know what to say about the corpse. He was once known as the most virtuous man in the world, but now he can't even protect his mother and wife, and his loved ones died unexpectedly, and even his corpse was left to be eaten by river fish.  Song is really ashamed for the prince! What are you planning, prince? There is no hope for the throne, and the family is ruined. If the prince and I change places, Song will have no face in the world, let alone be able to eat and sleep.  It's over. Song Nan pays homage to Prince Jin An!" Zhu Chenhao had nowhere to vent the suffocation in his chest. After reading the last paragraph, he opened his mouth and coughed, and suddenly saw a mouthful of red blood spurting out. The officials were shocked.  Busy holding on to the question, Zhu Chenhao closed his eyes and shook his head, and whispered for a long time: "I ordered people to welcome the two coffins into the city quickly. Inside are the old princess and the beloved concubine Lou. Song Nan is right, I, Zhu Chenhao,  How can you be a son or a husband in heaven and earth?" Wang Lun quickly ordered the coffin to be dragged back. Liu Yangzheng had already read Song Nan's letter quickly and comforted Zhu Chenhao in a low voice: "Your Majesty.  Don't be angry and harm your body. Song Nan has sinister intentions. He sent back the bodies of the old lady and the princess before the war just to make the emperor lose his fighting spirit. His letter seems peaceful, but every sentence is a soft knife, and the emperor will cut people.  Don't be disturbed by his tricks. The battle is imminent. Your Majesty, please keep your spirits up. As long as we can withstand a few rounds of their attacks, Anqing Mansion will be able to stand and the soldiers will be more confident, and everything will be possible.  I hope." Zhu Chenhao gritted his teeth and nodded: "I know his intentions, and I won't let this guy succeed. Come and bring the drums to the city. I will beat the drums myself to cheer for my soldiers."  Before the war.  The calm was short-lived. The sun had already passed. The warships of Song Nan's army began to slowly move into formation on the river. As several cannons shook the sky, the soldiers of the two opposing armies became nervous. They knew that in the end, this would happen.  A fight is about to begin.  Just as the imperial warships on the river had just begun to take action, the rebel soldiers on the north wall of Anqing City saw a scene that horrified them. On the distant horizon, black smoke and dust covered the sun, and the banner rolled up. A large number of soldiers and horses were already on May 6th.  Inside and outside; the scouts outside the city quickly reported the news that Xu Tai's army had arrived at the city.  Outside the west gate, soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp of Jiangpu Camp, who were rushing along the land route to catch up with the fleet, also appeared outside the west gate at the same time.  This was not enough. On the river, when the imperial fleet began to rush towards the rebel fleet, behind the rebel fleet on the river, more than a dozen warships raised their sails and were rushing toward them at the speed of an arrow.  Rearrangement of the rebel fleet.  A four-pronged approach, launching attacks from the north, south, east and west at the same time!  This is the formation of a dragnet. This is why Song Nan slowly walked up the river and did not arrive at Anqing Mansion until the fifth day.  Song Nan no longer wanted to play a tug-of-war with Zhu Chenhao. What he needed was a crushing decisive victory that could not leave any hope for Zhu Chenhao to escape.  Therefore, when the fleet was on the river, he conveyed the order with a falcon, allowing Jiang Bin and Xu Tai to feel the battlefield at the same time. The time was at 6 o'clock in the morning on February 28, the eighth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty.  Song Nan issued a strict order that no troops and horses could delay their arrival in Anqing for any reason. Even if the soldiers and horses of the Jiangpu Camp were led by Ma Ming and Peng Yang to advance westward by land, they would need to recapture several cities in Chizhou.  Song Nan would never allow them to delay.  For this reason, Ma Ming and Peng Yang had to divide their forces. Peng Yang led 10,000 soldiers and horses to clear out the rebel towns and state capitals along the way, while Ma Ming led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to move lightly and could not keep up.  The footsteps of Song Nan's fleet on the river.  Jiang Bin's five thousand men suffered some losses after taking Nankang and Jiujiang, but the good news is that after taking Jiujiang, more than a dozen rebel ships were captured, which allowed Jiang Bin to quickly move down the river to Anqing.  It becomes possible on the battlefield.  And Jiang Bin was regretting missing the battle of Nanjing. In fact, Song Nan had already taken the warship on the road without giving the order.  The battle on the river started instantly. Although Jiang Bin had only a dozen ships behind him, their fierce rush forced the rebel fleet's formation to respond. In fact, Jiang Bin's dozen ships didn't even have a single cannon.  No, when they captured it, the rebel soldiers threw all three cannons mounted on them into the river, but Jiang Bin didn't care at all. He didn't know how to fight on the water, so he just ordered to head towards the center of the enemy fleet regardless.  To collide with each other, it is best to get close to the opponent's warship, and then jump on to engage in hand-to-hand combat.  It was this unruly rush that had an unexpected effect. The rebel fleet had to avoid the river on both sides.Seven or eight ships equipped with Fran cannons were separated and fired at the warships behind.  And in this way, it gave the imperial fleet the opportunity to approach calmly.  Mao Shiba demonstrated his ability in water warfare. He used more than a dozen large ships as cover, followed by a warship equipped with Mrs. Song's rocket launchers. After approaching a certain distance, the rocket launchers roared loudly, and water suddenly poured into the sky on the river. The battle began.  Ships shuttled back and forth, arrows, fire, cannons and artillery fire flew randomly, and they quickly entered the climax of the battle.
