Early in the morning, Magistrate Wu's people moved the luggage back to the boat. The official boat sailed down the river towards the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. They would disembark at the Taoye Ferry and then report to the Ministry of Appointments before going to Anqing to take up their post.
Wu Hanchao sneakily followed them to the dock and watched as the official boat sailed down the river towards Nanjing. He then hurriedly returned and said to Song Ai, "Yes, yes, it really is my father who lives next door. Last night, when I was fetching water, I felt that the servant who passed by the courtyard seemed to be someone from your manor. Fortunately, I dodged quickly. If my father found out that we were living together before we were married, then it would be troublesome. "
Song Ai glared at him and said angrily, "You have the guts to be a thief. What happened to your ability in the past? Let's go quickly. Since your father has arrived in Nanjing, we have to be ahead of him so that Shou Gongye can be prepared. Shou Gongye promised to take responsibility for us. I don't want to let your father drive you away again. "
After Yang Ling heard that Song Ai was pregnant, although the time was still short, Yang Ling did not dare to let her continue to run around in the army. When the cavalry chased Madman Zhao's troops into Southern Zhili, he let them stop in Henan and slowly rushed over. The two of them came quickly. As soon as they heard about the victory in Southern Zhili and the escape of the bandits, they immediately set off for Nanjing. Unexpectedly, at the foot of Qing Liang Mountain, they happened to meet their father who was going to take up his post in Jiangnan.
Last night, Wu Hanchao and Song Ai talked and laughed in the room for a while. He also helped her take a bath. When he took his wife's bath water out, he happened to see a servant coming out from the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen was lit, but the corridor was not. When Wu Hanchao saw the servant's appearance, he was scared out of his wits. He quickly went back and told Song Ai about it. Although he did not see it too clearly, Wu Hanchao did not dare to confirm it, but he did not dare to go out again. The young couple spent the night in fear. It was not until the next morning that Wu Hanchao watched his father leave that the two of them hurried on the road and followed the Taoist to Nanjing.
On the ship, Old Wu was leaning against a small window in the cabin. He held his beard with one hand and lifted the curtains with the other to peek outside. It wasn't until the ship swayed and made a turn that he let out a long sigh of relief. He patted his chest and sat back in his chair. "Luckily, luckily our son didn't see us. Otherwise, we'd be in deep trouble. I've been teaching him about honor and shame since he was young. Now that he's done something like this, if we meet, do you think I'll beat him up?"
"Beat? Beat who? Your daughter-in-law is a second-ranked military officer in the imperial court, the commander of His Majesty's bodyguards, and the head of the Zhuang family in Guangxi. Humph! Right now, she is pregnant with your Wu family's child. If you provoke her and she returns to her hometown in a fit of anger, she will change your grandson's surname to Song and become the head of the family.
If we really run into each other and I don't do anything about it, I will lose my dignity as a father and fail to live up to my teachings. If we really run into each other and I don't do anything about it, I will lose my dignity as a father and fail to live up to my teachings. Who cares? If that child, Xiao 'ai, cries to the heavens, wouldn't that hurt my precious grandson? Alas, I have been on tenterhooks all night. I don't even dare to snore for fear that my son will hear it. "
Mrs. Wu giggled and said, "I think you are happy, right? Old Wu's family is small. There have been only one child for several generations. It's heart-wrenching to see this. Well … when I first saw Xiao 'ai, she looked like a fertile child. Are you happy now? "
Old Wu sat back in his chair and stretched. He stroked his beard and said, "I am happy, but I still have to pretend to be muddle-headed. We should not wash our dirty linen in public. This time we are in Nanjing, we should hurry up and do the wedding for them. Otherwise, if our daughter-in-law gets pregnant and people find out, our family's traditions, teachings, and reputation will all be ruined."
Mrs. Wu said, "Who are you blaming? Isn't it because you keep a straight face in front of the child all day? What etiquette, family tradition, strict father and loving mother? You caused the child to not dare to be close to you. When something happens, she doesn't dare to say it and has to hide. "
Old Wu snorted in dissatisfaction. He sat there and thought for a while. He shook his butt and laughed on his own. "Hehehe, you don't say. Our son is really capable. He said he had it and it happened. Hehehe, he really is my son. Like father … like son!"
"Bah! Old Wang is selling melons! "Mrs. Wu did not give him any face.

Jiang Bin was in a good mood today. After the feeling of blood boiling that day subsided, he thought about it and felt that he was too impulsive. The Imperial Bodyguard was not someone anyone could provoke. Although he was under Duke Wei and belonged to the Emperor's personal army, it was better not to offend such a powerful character.
After all, Qian Ning had gotten Wang Mantang from the Ringing Horse Bandits, not snatching her from his hands. There was no deep hatred between them. Wang Mantang was originally not a virgin, and she had been repeatedly humiliated by the bandits. What was the difference between Qian Ning and her?
Jiang Bin spat on the ground and used all sorts of reasons to convince himself. Finally, the knot in his heart was unraveled. Early in the morning, he hired a small sedan to fetch Wang Mantang back while he waited here alone.
He did not have a house in Nanjing, so he rented a small courtyard in an inn. He ordered a few dishes and sat on the stone table in the courtyard, pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking by himself. Two Imperial Bodyguards followed by four sedan bearers brought the small sedan chair into the courtyard. The two Imperial Bodyguards cupped their fists toward Jiang Bin. With their heads held high they said, "Jiang Youji, we have returned your beloved concubine."
Jiang Bin did not expect Qian Ning to send people to escort her back. He saluted and smiled stiffly, "Thank you!"
The two Imperial Bodyguards smiled strangely and said, "We don't dare, we are not polite. We have sent her back, so we brothers will take our leave. "
The two Brocade Guards swaggered away. Jiang Bin walked over and stood in front of the palanquin, angrily raising the curtain. He was a man full of problems but he was responsible. He knew that Wang Mantang was a weak woman. Unless she was willing to die, she would not be able to resist repeated humiliation. So he did not want to make things difficult for her. But when they met at the Confucius Temple, Jiang Bin saw her and Qian Ning smiling and flattering. Now that she was back and he remembered this, Jiang Bin did not give her a good expression.
Unexpectedly, when the curtain was lifted, Jiang Bin saw Wang Mantang's face. He was shocked and said, "You … why do you look like this?"
He saw that Wang Mantang's face was haggard and his eyes were lifeless. He leaned weakly on the chair and cried when he saw Jiang Bin. He didn't come out and didn't say anything. Jiang Bin anxiously stomped his feet and roared, "I'm not dead yet, why the f * ck are you crying? What's the matter? Tell me. "
Wang Mantang shook her head and cried. Two streams of tears rolled down her pale cheeks as she wept like a pear blossom in the rain. Seeing this, Jiang Bin's heart softened. His anger disappeared with her crying. He stomped his feet and cursed fiercely, "What the hell are you crying for? You only cry when you see laozi and smile so coquettishly at that Qian fellow!"
Although he was scolding, he still reached out to help Wang Mantang out. This tug on his arm caused Wang Mantang to cry out in pain. Jiang Bin looked over and saw that both of Wang Mantang's thumbs were tied together with a piece of ox tendon. This was a punishment used when arresting minor offenders or women. It could be used to tie up the hands, and it was not easy to open them.
When Jiang Bin saw this, he couldn't help but be startled. He knew that there was something fishy going on. Jiang Bin first took out some silver to send the four sedan bearers away before leading Wang Mantang back to the room. He took out a sharp knife from his waist and carefully cut the ox tendons between her hands. He then asked, "What happened? Why did he tie your hands? You are my woman. Do you want me to bring you back like a criminal? Damn it, I'm going to find him! "
Wang Mantang knelt on the ground and hugged Jiang Bin's legs. She sobbed, "Master, I've lost my chastity again and again. I'm not worthy of you doing this for me. I'm just a lowly, shameless woman. I'm not worthy of your pity."
Wang Mantang cried. This time, she was truly heartbroken. Because of her father's indulgence, she had wandered the streets like a boy and got to know a few good-for-nothings. She had no concept of chastity and had always been a dissolute woman. When she first followed Jiang Bin, she was only looking for a way out. She wasn't truly in love with him, so she was robbed by men, officials, and bandits. All she wanted was to keep her life. As for which man she accompanied, she didn't care.
Qian Ning's official position was higher than Jiang Bin's, and he was an official in the wealthy Jiangnan. The difference between them was like heaven and earth. Moreover, he was better at sweet-talking than Jiang Bin. When she first followed Qian Ning, she felt that she had climbed up a high branch. She couldn't help but feel proud of herself. This was especially so when she saw the two scars on Jiang Bin's cheeks at the Headmaster's Temple. Compared to his ferocious and ugly appearance, she was even more displeased.
However, Qian Ning was a despicable person and liked to play dirty. He couldn't afford to offend Yang Ling. When the Duke interceded, he didn't dare to not give face. However, Jiang Bin challenged him in public. He felt that he was the South Town Provost. If he was threatened by such a lowly officer, he wouldn't have the face to see others in the future. After thinking about it, he vented all his resentment on Wang Mantang.
After returning to the manor, Qian Ning no longer had a trace of gentleness towards her. This woman was about to no longer belong to him. How could he still feel pity for her? Not only did he brutally ravage her, he even gave her to a few bodyguards and even some of the servants in the manor to play with. He was sincerely trying to humiliate Jiang Bin and regain the face he had lost in public. Didn't you challenge your father? Your concubine even played with the servants by my side. Let's see how you're going to face others in the future. For the next three days, she will still be my woman. I can reward whoever I want. If you're not afraid of losing face, go ahead.
Not only that, in order to provoke Jiang Bin, he also tampered with Wang Mantang's body. In order to make Jiang Bin unable to bear the bitterness and unable to report this to Duke Wei, he used this humiliating method on Wang Mantang's secret place.
Wang Mantang really didn't expect that this Qian Ning, who looked so amiable and gentle, was so much gentler and more considerate than a rough man like Jiang Bin, would become so sinister once he became angry. He was so heartless to a weak woman like her. Wang Mantang was truly heartbroken.
When Jiang Bin saw that she was only crying, he was so anxious that his face and neck turned red. He grabbed Wang Mantang and asked her what happened. His grip was strangely strong and he didn't know how to control his strength. He squeezed Wang Mantang's arm until it felt like it was about to break. She couldn't take it anymore and could only endure the humiliation and tell him what happened. After listening to her story, Jiang Bin slowly released his grip and stood up. His mouth was hissing and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Wang Mantang raised her head and saw the veins on Jiang Bin's forehead bulging like green earthworms. His face was so red that it looked like it was about to spurt blood. His eyes were round and round and the two lumps of flesh on his cheeks that were caused by the arrow wound were twitching. He laughed strangely and sternly said: "He … ordered the residence's bodyguards and servants to rape your body?"
When Wang Mantang saw his appearance, she couldn't help but crawl a few steps back in horror. She thought that Jiang Bin was going to kill her in anger but Jiang Bin said: He did something to your body? What did he do?
Wang Mantang hugged her arms and said in a trembling voice: "I … I was tied to the chair and really didn't know. They immediately tied my hands and escorted me back by the Imperial Bodyguards."
Jiang Bin laughed maliciously and pulled her up. Wang Mantang was tall and voluptuous and weighed at least a hundred jin, but in Jiang Bin's hands, she was as light as a kitten. She cried out in fear as she was thrown onto the couch. Jiang Bin then began to tear off her clothes. Wang Mantang was afraid and cried and struggled. Jiang Bin angrily said: "From top to bottom, which part of your body has this prince not seen? If you make any more noise, this prince will give you a slap in the face. "
Only then did Wang Mantang not dare to struggle. She covered her face with both hands and cried. Jiang Bin tore off her clothes and saw the plump, white, and tender base of her thighs. His eyes couldn't help but widen. He pressed down on Wang Mantang's round, white, and tender legs and stared at them in amazement for a long time. The blood red color on his face gradually turned purple and looked a little black.
The white, tender thighs and the private parts were painted with ink. It could be seen that the painter's skill was extraordinary. Although it was a shallow sketch, it was still vivid and lifelike. The private part was painted with a mountain city. Between the ravines was naturally the city gate. On the right thigh was a series of small people. One could vaguely see people carrying poles, riding horses, sitting in palanquins, and begging with sticks. All kinds of people were fighting to enter the city.
On the left thigh was the snow white skin of a warrior. The warrior was brandishing two swords and looked awe-inspiring. Judging from his demeanor, it was obviously Jiang Bin. He was standing in front of the city gate as a gate guard, proudly assuming a posture. He didn't stop anyone and allowed people to enter and leave.
When Jiang Bin saw this, he felt a surge of turbid air. He staggered two steps back and felt the blood in his chest churning. With a puff, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Mantang moved her hands away and saw Jiang Bin's pale face with blood at the corner of his mouth. She couldn't help but cry out in fear. Jiang Bin's vision darkened. He composed himself and turned around to pick up the two swords on the table. Wang Mantang crawled two steps back from the bed in shock. Just as she was about to dodge, she suddenly remembered that she was proud of her beauty. But these years, her life was full of misfortune and she was bullied and humiliated. She crawled two steps forward and knelt on the bed. She stretched out her slender neck and mournfully said, "If Master wants to kill me, then kill this concubine. This concubine's life is really boring. "
Jiang Bin stuck out his tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth. He grinned and said, "What's the point of killing a woman? Wash it with water and don't let me see it again. I'm going to find that bastard Qian Ning! "
Wang Mantang stared at Jiang Bin in a daze. After a long time, she remembered to see what Qian Ning had done to her lower body. She couldn't help but feel ashamed. This woman, who had never taken chastity seriously, felt a strong sense of shame for the first time. She felt that she had no dignity to live like this. She had always thought that she was young and beautiful, and men coveted her. Little did she know that in their eyes, she was just a plaything.
She then thought of Jiang Bin. He was not a perfect person, nor was he a good person. But even though he had a lot of problems, he was the only man who didn't despise her. He didn't vent his anger on her when he was insulted and was willing to risk his life for her. Thinking of this, Wang Mantang was filled with hatred and regret. She lay on the bed and cried.
After this incident, Wang Mantang was enlightened. From then on, she cleansed herself of all immorality and became a woman. She accompanied Jiang Bin for the rest of her life, serving him with sincerity and never having any other thoughts. As for Jiang Bin, he carried two sabers and strode through the streets of Jin Ling. Passersby saw him carrying two sabers, his fierce face, and his murderous eyes. They couldn't help but retreat to the sides in fear. The scorching sun was overhead, but wherever Jiang Bin walked, there was a chilly wind. It was eerie and creepy.
At a crossroads, he saw a group of carriages passing by. A few servants shouted, "Pedestrians, step aside. The new magistrate of Anqing, Master Wu, has arrived."
These officials always went out with banners and a ceremonial guard. But Wu Wending had just taken office and didn't have a ceremonial guard. He went to the Ministry of Appointments to pay his respects, then hurried to pay his respects to Duke Wei and his son. The magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture sent a group of Yamachi to temporarily serve as his ceremonial guard.
Jiang Bin was dressed in ordinary military uniform today. He didn't have any official title, and no one knew his rank. He walked here silently. When people told him to stop, he stopped. When Wu Wending's carriages passed, he thought for a while and decided not to walk forward.
After this delay, he suddenly remembered that Qian Ning had angered him so much. How could his residence not be prepared? If he just walked in with his saber, he would probably be shot to death the moment he entered. If he was killed, it would be a wrongful death. Even the Duke would not be able to say anything.
Then drag his subordinates to fight with the Imperial Bodyguard? What was the Imperial Bodyguard doing? This was their territory. Before the troops could be pulled out, he would probably get the news and escape. If the Duke heard about this, what should I say?
Should I tell the Duke that he, Qian Ning, played with my woman. Even the lowly servants in his residence played with my woman. He even drew pictures of her private parts to humiliate me? Should I call Wang Mantang over as a witness? Or should I find a midwife to verify it?
If that's the case, even if she doesn't die of embarrassment, I will. I, Jiang Bin, am not a lowly person. I'm a military warfare officer now. If I expose this scandal, I won't be able to raise my head for the rest of my life.
Jiang Bin leaned on his sabers and stared at his figure under the sun. After a long while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. He shouldered his sabers and slowly turned to leave. His relaxed appearance made him look like a soldier who had nothing better to do.
However, Jiang Bin's physique and appearance were too eye-catching, so no one noticed the faint trace of resentment in his eyes and the evil smile on his lips. "I, Jiang Bin, am a dignified man. How can I follow that woman's footsteps and report you to get away with it? I'm going to stay in Jinling. There's plenty of time. If you like to play, then let's play slowly. You humiliated my woman for three days. Sooner or later, I'll play with your woman for three years! "

"Master Wu, it must have been hard on you." Yang Ling sipped his tea and said with a smile.
"You're too kind. Duke, you're in charge of Jiangnan. It's really hard on you." Wu Wending looked at his son, who was standing obediently to the side. "I've been practicing martial arts in the mountains since I was young. I don't know much about the military and the rules of officialdom. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble by following Duke?"
The two of them had been courteous for a long time. There were no outsiders in the hall. Other than the father and son of the Wu family, there was only Yang Ling. Yang Ling looked at Wu Hanchao and said with a smile, "Hanchao has been a great help to me. After a long period of training in the military, you're now a qualified general."
He looked at the uneasy and uneasy Wu Hanchao and said, "Hanchao, General Xu sent us the roster, have someone send it back, tell him to check it clearly, report the compensation and rewards according to the actual number of casualties and the officers and men on the list."
"Yes!" Wu Hanchao knew that Yang Ling was going to expose Song Ai's pregnancy to his father for him. He hurriedly agreed and left.
Yang Ling hesitated for a moment. Looking at the majestic bearded civil official, he said hesitantly, "Master Wu, I know you have high hopes for your son. You hope he can serve the country and make more contributions while he is young. Hanchao has not disappointed your teachings and expectations. Ever since he entered his official career, he has made many military achievements and is conscientious. But, uh … "
Wu Wending became nervous, "Duke, please speak. If I've done anything wrong, Duke can reprimand me. No need to be polite."
Yang Ling covered his mouth and coughed. It was a bit inconvenient to talk about these things with the other's father. He calmed down and said, "Now that the war is over and the aftermath is rippling, it's time to use people. Your son is a capable person. But in a few days, I will return to the capital and want to keep him in Jiangnan. It just so happens that Master Wu is here to take up his post. Let's prepare for his marriage. "
"Prepare for his marriage?" Wu Wending was stunned. He thought urgently, "What does Duke mean by this? Does he know what Hanchao has done? Or is Hanchao hiding the fact that his wife is pregnant and begging him for a matchmaker?"
Yang Ling laughed dryly, "I won't hide it from Master Wu. Your son and Miss Xiao Ai love each other and spend every day together. It's hard to avoid … so they've already done it. Now Miss Xiao Ai is pregnant …"
"What?" As soon as Wu Wending heard this, he sprang up from his seat, 'shocked and angry' he said, "This unfilial son is immoral and disgraceful. Our Wu family's poetry and etiquette are passed down from generation to generation. How could we produce such a disgraceful thing? Duke, this … this really puts me to shame. To be able to work by Duke's side is a great blessing. He doesn't know how to respect himself and follow the rules! Don't worry, Duke. When I get back, I will discipline him strictly and punish him according to the family rules. "
Old Wu blew his beard and glared. He was just short of beating his chest and writing a letter of blood. It must be known that in ancient times, getting pregnant before marriage was a big loss of morals. As an official, morality was the most important thing. If Duke hated him because of this, then his son's future would be ruined. When his son got married, he could enter the capital and become an official. But Duke wanted to keep him here. Didn't this mean that he already had this in mind and was exiling him? How could Old Wu not be nervous when he thought of this?
Yang Ling saw his reaction and it was just as Wu Hanchao expected. He quickly said, "Ah, Master Wu, don't be like this. I also think that Hanchao's handling of this matter is too imprudent. But he and Miss Xiao Ai have already settled on a marriage, so it doesn't affect the family's reputation. In my opinion, Master Wu should let him go. Besides, this matter shouldn't be publicized. If they get married early, it will be better to cover it up."
Wu Wending said with a pained heart, "Duke's magnanimity makes me blush with shame. Ah, this is a private matter. I can only do this now. I just hate that the little bastard doesn't know what's good for him. He has the opportunity to work under Duke, but he doesn't know how to reflect. Now that Duke is disgusted with him, he only has himself to blame. I … I am ashamed. My son has let down Duke's expectations. "
"Disgusted? Disgusted with what? " Yang Ling was confused and thought, "You are angry at your son for not following the rules. Why should I be angry?"
He said with doubt, "This is a small matter. How can we lose the big picture because of a small matter? I think that Hanchao will only be following me around. It will be hard for him to develop as a Valiant Cavalry Officer in the Ministry of War. I am prepared to ask for an imperial edict to send him out as a Commander of the Imperial Guards to guard the pass in Jiangnan. It will be easier for him to develop in the army. He will also be able to meet you and your son. What do you think? "
Hearing this, Wu Wending's heart calmed down. The position of Valiant Cavalry Officer is just a title but the Commander of the Imperial Guards has real power. From this, it seems that the Duke does not blame Han Chao. He hurriedly changed his expression and said, "The Duke has treated my son with great kindness and I, Wu Wending, will remember this in my heart. In that case, according to the Duke's words, once I am appointed, I will first arrange the marriage for this animal.
Yang Ling laughed and said, "If I were in Jiangnan, I would definitely go. In a few days, I will take care of the aftermath in Jiangnan. I will return to the capital. After all, national affairs are important. If I don't have enough time, then I will be very regretful. "
"That's right, that's right. National affairs are important. Ah … I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
Wu Hanchao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He was not in the mood to listen to the rest of the conversation. He suddenly turned around and went to find Song Ai to tell her the good news. His son was anxious, but his father was even more anxious. Wu Wending did not have the mood to stay in Nanjing any longer. He said goodbye and went to Anqing to take up his post.
Seven days later, a wedding invitation was sent to Yang Ling's residence. Yang Ling opened the letter in his study and saw that it was Wu Wending's invitation to Duke to attend his son's wedding banquet. The time was set for three days later. He couldn't help but smile at Ma Lian Er, who had just come over with a cup of tea, and said, "This Wu Daren is really impatient. He is in a rush and doesn't have any of the steady temperament of a scholar. From the time of taking up his post to the marriage and the time spent on the road back and forth, I estimate that he has almost finished everything in three days. He really is something."
Ma Lian'er's eyes were watery. She glared at him and said, "Of course I cannot be compared to you, State Duke Wei. Your daughter is almost two years old and the marriage is not settled yet. As for me, I just had to meet a slow-witted doctor like you."
Yang Ling giggled as he hugged her soft and smooth waist and let her sit on his lap. He laughed in a low voice against his ear, "Shameless girl, you are that urgent patient, en? How urgent? "
That hand that moved up and down her round thigh and continuously teased her vitals messed up Lian 'er's hair. She panted and suddenly hooked her hand around Yang Ling's neck. Just as she moved her lips closer, she heard Da Bang Chui shout from the hall outside, "Duke, the special envoy from the capital has arrived!"
Lian 'er jumped down from Yang Ling's body. She combed her messy hair and said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for?"
In terms of Imperial edicts, intermediate edicts, secret edicts, and special edicts, Yang Ling had received more in these two years than other officials received in their entire lives. He was used to Imperial edicts so he didn't make a fuss.
Yang Ling smiled as he pinched Lian 'er's cheek. Then he smoothed his robe and walked out of the study. He saw a middle-ranking official standing there holding an Imperial edict. Four Imperial Bodyguards wearing flying fish robes stood behind him with their hands on the spring embroidery sabers at their waists.
Yang Ling looked and recognized it was the taijian that usually walked in front of Zhengde, Zhang Zhishui. Yang Ling smiled and said, "So it is Eunuch Zhang on an imperial mission. Have you been well?"
Zhang Zhishui hurriedly smiled and said, "Duke Cheng has asked, this servant has an Imperial edict and cannot bow. Please forgive me."
"Haha, no need to be polite." Yang Ling walked in front of him as he spoke. He dusted his robe and straightened his scarf. Zhang Zhishui's smile disappeared. He coughed and said, "Duke Wei, Yang Ling, receive the edict!"
Yang Ling knelt down to listen to the edict. Emperor Zhengde agreed to his request. Zongbing Xu Tai stayed in Jinling as the Zongbing Commander to control the troops of South Zhili. Jiang Bin was the Commander of the Nanjing Middle Guard with the rank of Vice General. Ma Ang was the Commander of the Nanjing Left Guard with the rank of General. Wu Hanchao was the Guerrilla Warfare General of Jiangnan. Peng Shang led the Light Navy to the shores of the Yangtze River outside Nanjing to strengthen the security of the capital.
Yang Ling was overjoyed. At this point, Li Sen was stationed in Huguang, He Bingwen was in charge of Fujian and Guangdong, Bai Jiancheng was in charge of Zhejiang, Xu Tai, Jiang Bin, Ma Ang, and Wu Hanchao were in charge of the capital and the main road to the north. They controlled the whole of South Zhili. There was also the Navy guarding the Yangtze River. Unless King Ning did not move, once he moved, he would be surrounded from all directions and trapped like an iron bucket. These generals were good at fighting and loyal to the court. Yang Ling did not believe that King Ning would dare to make a fuss under such circumstances.
After receiving the Imperial edict, Yang Ling stood up and looked at Eunuch Zhang. He was already used to it. Zhengde had the habit of being his pen pal. Other than the Imperial edict officially issued by the cabinet, he always liked to use a normal tone to send him a secret letter. As expected, Eunuch Zhang touched his sleeve again …
