The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

The Jinling prefect was filled with grief upon hearing this, but at this moment, he could only clasp his fists and say,

"Please rest assured, Lord Wang, I will definitely cooperate."

Speaking of the Jinling prefect, he was quite unlucky.

After three years in Nanjing, he should have made enough money to leave with a clean slate.

As a result, because the Jinling prefect's position was too lucrative, various parties in the capital fought for it, which resulted in his term being delayed for a long time and no official came to take over.

He could only stay in Jinling and became the temporary prefect of Jinling.

I wanted to make some more money, but I didn't expect Qingfeng Village to take advantage of the situation and become more and more powerful.

Now, the position of Jinling prefect immediately became a hot potato.

The officials of Daqian all took office for money. Who would joke with his own head?

However, he also heard that in order to prevent the emperor and the emperor from reprimanding officials for poor handovers, the Ministry of Personnel had announced that any prefect who came to Nanjing to take up the post would not only be exempted from all expenses, but would also receive a reward of 1,000 taels of silver.

I think it won’t be long before someone will come to replace me.

The Jinling prefect can only close the door and ring the bell for each day.

And how Zhenjiang Prefecture was taken by Qingfeng Village is clear to everyone.

It is because there are rebels inside Zhenjiang City.

Wang Ziteng's arrangement is also reasonable.

After arranging this matter, Wang Ziteng looked at the generals and the second generation of nobles in front of the hall.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"I have been discussing with Duke Liguo the need to recapture Zhenjiang Prefecture as quickly as possible and cut off the connection between the rebels heading south and Yangzhou. Who is willing to lead the troops there?"

"If he can defeat the enemy, I will personally commend him to His Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many imperial guards generals and several second-generation nobles stood up and clasped their fists towards Wang Ziteng.

"The general will go where he wishes!"

Wang Ziteng nodded slightly, and after scanning the people who had come out, his eyes fell on Shi Lei and Niu Ben.

"Niu Ben, Shi Lei, you two come from noble families and are skilled in military affairs."

Niu Ban and Shi Lei looked at each other.

They all stepped out and bowed to Wang Ziteng.

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely fulfill your orders!"

"it is good!"

Wang Ziteng clapped his hands in praise,

"In that case, you will all immediately head to the Left Camp to assemble your troops and prepare for battle. We will march to Zhenjiang Prefecture tomorrow morning."

"Food, fodder, and equipment will be sent this afternoon!"

"Yes! The last general takes the order!"

Both of them responded in unison.

Wang Ziteng nodded, and then said to the several imperial guards who agreed,

"You must obey the orders of Generals Niu and Shi and seize Zhenjiang Prefecture as soon as possible. Any delay or negligence will result in military action."

Several people immediately clasped their fists.

"I will obey your command!"

Then Wang Ziteng looked at the other second-generation nobles with different expressions.

"As for those who are not scheduled, don't worry too much about not having the opportunity to perform."

"After we capture Zhenjiang Prefecture, the imperial court will launch a comprehensive siege on Qingfeng Village. By then, everyone will have made contributions."

After hearing this, no matter what the middle-aged second generation thought in their hearts, they all clasped their fists.

"I will obey your command!"

At the same time, Li Qingfeng had already arrived at the city of Huai'an with his troops by boat.

After receiving the order, Liang Liang, the deputy head of Loushan Hall, and Zhu Guli, the head of Zhengshun Hall, stopped attacking the city and waited for a long time at the foot of the city.

Seeing Qingfeng Li coming, both of them lowered their heads in shame like children who had done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, Peak Master. It's our fault that we are so incompetent. I'm sorry for asking you to come here in person..."

Li Qingfeng waved his hand and looked at the battle-ready situation on the walls of Huai'an Prefecture with some curiosity.

The soldiers defending the city were on high alert, with logs and stones rolling, and huge pots of steaming hot water boiling with unknown liquids. Li Qingfeng shook his head secretly.

It was the same old procedure for defending the city, but even so, the siege of Qingfeng Village suffered a great setback. Not only did many people in the prisoner camp die, but even the soldiers of Qingfeng Village suffered some damage.
