Chapter 292
The surface of the water is not like on land, when two carriages collide, people will roll over.

The buoyancy of the water causes the boats to bounce off the collision.Most of the time, the hull just tilts a bit.Of course, heavy-laden ships are two different things. No matter how they collide, it will be a disaster at such a high speed.But no matter this mysterious big ship, or the tens of tons medium ship that Wang Hua and the others were driving, they were all half-loaded, almost empty.

However, the tonnage difference between the two ships is too large, and the shape of this ship is originally a sea ship. In order to break through the waves, the sharp knife-like bow goes down the current at this speed. After the collision, it may tear Wang Hua's ship at once, or even if it does not tear, it may hit a big hole.

The serious thing is that if the angles are right, they will ride on Wang Hua's ship at once. Once this happens, the ship will sink immediately.

Except for diving, but most of the people Wang Hua brought were guards from the north, and even Wang Hua himself did not dare to jump on this vast river, saying that he would be alive if he jumped down.

The big ship was getting closer and closer, even Wang Hua didn't know what to do.

One of the guards named Zhao Jinjin began to tie the cable to the big lance, and he said to the boatman: "Be careful to avoid it."

Wang Hua asked, "Zhao Jinjin, what are you going to do?"

"General Wang, it's okay. My family has lived by the river since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the nature of boats. Our boats are small and not as fast as theirs. Collision is inevitable. But it is impossible to ram our boat all at once. Shen, when the two boats collide, I will throw the big lance into their boat and climb up. I want to see where the thief is."

Wang Hua glanced at him, this is not a perfect idea.In addition to him, there is another guard of Meng Linghu who is from the south of the Yangtze River. They have no problems with water skills, which is not the case for other soldiers.Some soldiers actually suffered from seasickness after boarding the ship from Xiangyang.Don't say it's a soldier, it's his own combat effectiveness, or it may be because he has dropped a lot on the water.

But there is no other way, so I can only hope to survive from the dead, and see if I can kill another life like Fanzheng's blood.

But Wang Hua was wondering, who did he offend?It is the seven surnames, there is some friction, I stood on guard for Lao Wu all night, and pardoned some of the crimes of Wang and Queen, which is equivalent to paying them back a favor.In other words, the other forces have already kept a low profile, that is, they made some suggestions that day, and they didn't even go to court from time to time, so it's not worth using such a ruthless hand.

And now that the open and secret fights are very fierce, it is unreasonable to assassinate yourself at this time, it may really be a matter of life and death.

Could it be the person who kidnapped Sifeng again?

Who is this person?

While he was thinking, the two boats got closer and closer.The boat skimmed across the calm river with the sound of crackling waves.Only this kind of voice is not good at all in everyone's ears now, as if it has a strong murderous intent.

Wang Hua stood at the stern, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted: "Hang up all the sails immediately, and flee forward."

The ship is not very far away, only 400 meters away, and by the moonlight, you can see the situation on the ship behind.In addition to this big boat, there were two small emergency boats hanging beside it, and there were nearly a hundred men standing on both sides of the boat, their faces were painted with oil paint, and their faces could not be seen clearly.But they all had bows and arrows in their hands.If he had followed Zhao Xiaoxiao's advice, he might have been shot to death before the spear's head reached the side of the opponent's boat.In addition to these, he also saw two trebuchets on the deck, which was an armed ship.

Withdraw immediately.

Seeing Wang Hua running away, a young man on the deck laughed and said, "Follow me, Wang Xiaoer, let's see where you can escape tonight."

Seeing him laughing wildly, the man in black didn't make a sound.He also had to admit in his heart that his strategy tonight was very good.If they were on land, even their hundred or so soldiers might not have killed Wang Hua, but had revealed their identities instead.But on this vast river, Wang Hua is really in danger tonight.

Poor Wang Hua has not figured out his identity until now.

The guard moved very quickly and immediately filled the sails, but the speed was still not as fast as this big ship.Soon, close to 150 meters.

Wang Hua had already run to the ship and took out the big bow, fully drew the bow, and shot it with a whiz.One of the opponent's men was shot by an arrow, let out a scream, and fell on the deck.

But it didn't help, other guards also took out their bows and arrows, the effect was even worse, and some of them didn't even hit the boat at all.But this also reminded the other party, whoosh, sharp arrows flew onto the ship like rain.

Wang Hua had never been so embarrassed before.

The speed of the two ships is very fast now, going down the current, with full sails, and blowing northwest, just right with the water and the wind.There were still some boats passing by in the river, and they also saw this strange scene, but they were thrown off by two boats in an instant.

A large black figure appeared in front of him, it was a small island in the heart of the river.Faintly saw many reeds growing on the edge of Jiangzhou.Wang Hua suddenly said: "Boater, drive to Jiangzhou."

The loads of the two ships were not the same, and the boat, driven by the boatman, plunged headlong into the tidal flats of Jiangxinzhou.However, she fell into the mud and didn't really reach the shore. Wang Hua was still shouting: "Jump into the water, take your weapon and flee to the shore."

There were also two trebuchets on the big boat.Wang Hua is too familiar with this thing after the battle of Fanjiu.Not too much, they immediately anchored the big ship, and their small boat just made them a living target.

Sure enough, the other party was afraid of running aground, so he dropped the anchor immediately, but he was not reconciled, and put down two small boats, and some people jumped into the water and swam towards Jiangzhou with weapons.

Wang Hua and his group also supported each other, and several of them drank a few sips of stuffy water. Fortunately, with everyone's support, although most of them couldn't swim, they brought them to the shore one by one.

Perhaps Zhang Jiazhen had never seen such a scene, perhaps he was not familiar with water, and his face was a little pale. He asked Wang Hua, "Who is this group of people? They are even bolder than leopards."

On the shore, Wang Huaxin also settled down.He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to know too."

Then he raised his big bow and shot arrows continuously with the help of the cover of the reed.In the moonlight, Wang Hua also lost his aim, but he also shot down three or four people.Together with other soldiers, a dozen or so were lying down before the small boat approached.There were also dozens of people on the two small boats. Seeing that something was wrong, they turned their heads and fled back.But they were very damaged. When they returned, they tied Wang Hua's boat with a rope and dragged it to the big boat.

More than a dozen of Wang Hua were trapped alive on this small Jiangzhou.

After a while the big ship winched the anchor and set sail.But Wang Hua still said: "Follow it."

This small island is not big, but it is more than a mile long. Even the flood season floods the entire small island. Otherwise, it is impossible for a single family to live on the small island, let alone see plowing Mark of.It's just weeds everywhere, and some shrubs, or just reeds.As long as they moored the boat downstream and landed on the small island, none of their group could pay attention.

Tread!

Seen from a distance, Xiaozhou is lush and green, but in fact the terrain is really low. Many places are covered with a layer of water. Where there is no water, it is also covered with moss. Walking on it is slippery, and it is almost impossible to stand on it. .Only because there are a lot of reeds, the silt in the river is fixed, and there is no swamp.Otherwise this line is more difficult.

No one was hit, because a group of people passed through, startled countless night birds on the river island, uttered a chirp, and then disappeared on the vast river.

After running to the back of the island, dozens of people were splashed with mud and sweat was streaming from their faces.Even Zhang Jiazhen began to swear with the soldiers.

But this trip was not in vain, and the boat began to break down again, and a rain of arrows shot them back again.

But Wang Huajie forbade the soldiers to use arrows. Originally, there were not many arrows, and it was still a long time before dawn.

The big ship set sail again and turned back.

Tread!

Wang Hua led his men to run back in front of Jiangzhou again.

After running for most of the night, Wang Hua's subordinates were cursing their mothers, and the people on the big boat were also cursing their mothers.The man in black smiled and said nothing.This plan is not well laid out. If the calculations were made at the beginning and a large ship was used to block it downstream, this situation would not have occurred.

The sky lit up, and layers of tulle-like fog curled up on Xiaojiangzhou, making Xiaojiangzhou like a fairyland.

But it is also the most dangerous time, when the light is bright and the vision becomes clear.Although it is covered by reeds, it is not like in the night, with the help of the gaps in the reeds, they can be vaguely seen running.

Bows and arrows cannot reach the distance, but there are trebuchets on board.Fortunately, if the reeds are withered and yellow after September, all problems will be solved with a fire.He erected the trebuchet and threw it on top of Wang Hua and the others.The current trebuchets are rough in craftsmanship, and on board, the accuracy is even more insufficient.

But even so, he still knocked Wang Hua's two men to the ground.

But the crazy behavior of this big ship finally alarmed more ships passing by. It is possible that other ships went ashore and reported to the government.Several small boats carrying patrols came towards the small island in the middle of the river. Seeing no hope, the big boat finally hoisted its sails and drove away.

The patrol leaned the boat on Jiangxinzhou, Wang Hua led his men into the boat, his face was gloomy, how can I say, two lives fell, and he didn't even know who the enemy was.

Several police officers were shocked when they learned the identity of Wang Hua and his party. Fortunately, they arrived in time. If it was late, Wang Hua, who is popular in the capital, would have run to his own ground without any accident in Turkic Even though it was in the middle of the river, it couldn't get away from it.So he ordered that the downstream port arrest the ship.But this sea-going ship is so big that it doesn't need to berth by the river, and go out to sea, where to catch it.

After landing on the shore, Wang Hua immediately wrote a memorial of what happened and sent it to the capital.

But Wang Hua didn't expect how big a storm his memorial caused.

During the time when Wang Hua was in the capital, he either stayed in the blood camp to train the army, or stayed in the palace, teaching the maids to make 氍毹, but he didn't know that at this time, especially after Wei Yuanzhong came back from Hebei, the court struggled to the point where there was no more .

It turned out that when Wei Yuanzhong was the governor of Luozhou.Zhang Changyi thought that Wei Yuanzhong was as easy to bully as the former governor of Luozhou, so he wanted to surpass the old Wei head.After being severely reprimanded by Lao Wei for a few words, he settled down.Then another incident happened. The servants of Zhang Changyi's family committed atrocities in the downtown area, that is, some acts of bullying others. It seems that Li Bao'er's smashing of Cui's shop also belonged to the same nature.He was caught by Wei Yuanzhong and killed with a stick.But remember the hatred.

This time Wei Yuanzhong was transferred back from Hebei and defended the attack of tens of thousands of silent troops, at least not worse than last time, and decisively cooperated with Wang Hua, and finally achieved a great victory.No one can win the limelight for a while, and some genuine people in the DPRK and China are cited as leaders.At the same time, because of Wei Yuanzhong's high-profile return to Beijing, Li Dan and Li Xian's forces also began to be high-profile.This caused even more dissatisfaction among the Zhang brothers.

It was caused by a small thing.

Wu Zetian wanted to use Zhang Changzhi's younger brother Zhang Changqi as the governor of Yongzhou, so he asked Wei Yuanzhong: "Which minister in the court is suitable for the position of governor of Yongzhou?"

Most of Yongzhou's history refers to Fengxiang Mansion, but in Tang Dynasty it refers to Chang'an.

Wei Yuanzhong replied: "The most suitable courtier is Xue Jichang."

Xue Jichang is a very good candidate for his actions, he dares to punish the powerful, but the main thing is that he is very close to the King of Xiang and Princess Taiping. Lao Wu vaguely heard this, but he did not put his displeasure on his face. , she continued: "Ji Chang has been an official in the capital for a long time, and I want to change someone. How about Changqi?"

Wei Yuanzhong replied: "It's not good in the prosperous period. When I was in Qizhou before, I ran away from my household registration. But Yongzhou is the imperial capital, and the affairs are complicated. Only Ji Chang can be a good officer."

Wu Zetian's complexion changed.

Wei Yuanzhong said again: "Since the first emperor, I have been favored and favored until now. Now I am the prime minister. It is my crime to have a villain by the emperor's side."

Wu Zetian didn't answer, but she became even more unhappy.

It happened that Wang Hua's memorial was delivered to the capital.

Originally, during this period of time, the court struggled to return to the court, and the subordinates fought bloodily, but it was all because Lao Wu didn't dare to make it public, and everything was fine.This memorial finally acted like a fuse, igniting everything.

What did Wang Hua do this time?It is firing porcelain, in order to win the three games with the Turks, which is related to the country as a whole.But at this time, a large ship was sent to assassinate Wang Hua.Zhang Yizhi began to use this to fan the flames, why did he kill Wang Hua and want to make chaos in the court.Your Majesty, if you think about it, there are still a few people who have the power to reach the sky, and actually mobilize a sea ship to enter the river.Besides, there are bows and arrows and trebuchets.

So who do you say did it?Why are they doing this?Wu Zetian was also at a loss.

The reason is simple, Your Majesty, someone wants to covet your seat.But think about it again, how many ministers in the court are loyal to His Majesty?In particular, Wang Hua still had a powerful army in his hands. With this army to protect the safety of the emperor, many people thought it was getting in the way.

At this time, Zhang Changzong, who was lying on the right side, also said, "Your Majesty, besides, during this period of time, you have favored the untouchables, reduced redundant officials, made admonitions, selected talents, and revitalized the government. Many people don't like it."It's over, Zhang Changzong added another sentence, anyway, we are not disciples of the clan, and it has nothing to do with the ministers who will be the emperor in the future.What Chen Jin said was also loyal advice.

Brother Zhang Changzhi's remonstrance was effective, and the two brothers lay beside Wu Zetian, unable to say anything.As the night blew down, Lao Wu became confused again.

It happened that Wu Zetian was ill these few days, so Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi said in front of Wu Zetian that Wei Yuanzhong and Princess Taiping were talking about Gao Jian in private, and that his majesty is getting old, so it is better to hold the prince for a long time.

Adding up the events before and after, Wu Zetian was not only suspicious, but also angry, so he immediately arrested Wei Yuanzhong and Gao Jian and asked them to argue with Zhang Changzong.

In order to put Wei Yuanzhong to death, Zhang Yizhi once again secretly seduces Zhang Shuo, a member of Fengge family, and bribes a high-ranking official to testify against Wei Yuanzhong.At that time, Zhang said he also agreed.The next day, Wu Zetian summoned all the prime ministers, the king, and Li Dan into the palace together.But after Wang Hua heard about this, he came to his senses, the main reason was to attack Xiang Wang and Li Dan, I'm still alive, you have to be honest.Whether Wei Yuanzhong or himself was assassinated, this is just an introduction.

Zhang Yizhi confronted Wei Yuanzhong, both of them had a reason, and they couldn't stand each other for a long time.Zhang Yizhi said it again, and Zhang said he had also heard Wei Yuanzhong say such things.

Wu Zetian called Zhang Shuo again, Zhang said that he was going to the palace, but was stopped by Song Jing, and said: "The name is the most important, ghosts and gods are hard to deceive. You can protect yourself by flattering the evil flames."

Directly pointing to the gate of life that Zhang said, Zhang said it was not for high-ranking officials, but mainly because he was afraid of the arrogance of the Zhang brothers. In fact, this time was also a big stain in his life.

Song Jing said again: "If something unexpected happens, Jing will hit the palace gate head-on, fight hard according to reason, and die with the son. Work hard for it, and the glory of all generations will be done here."

Another direct minister, Zhang Tinggui, said: "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening!"

And Liu Zhiji also interjected: "There is no dirty history, and it will be a burden for future generations."

Originally Zhang Shuo was still hesitating, but was excited by these three people and entered the palace. Old Wei was also afraid that Zhang Shuo would be bought by Zhang Yizhi, so he said: "Zhang Shuo wants to weave with Zhang Changzong."

Zhang said that he felt aggrieved. You are all big shots, and we are just a small official. Today, for the sake of justice, we are willing to take risks to return your innocence. I didn't expect that you would pour cold water on me as soon as we met. : "Yuan Zhong is the prime minister, why follow the words of the small people in the streets and alleys."

"Okay, good scolding, Zhang Sheren said quickly," Zhang Yizhi was about to jump up happily.

Zhang said: "Look, your majesty, in front of your majesty, you are forcing me to do this, let alone outside! I'm confronting the court today, and I dare not tell lies. I didn't hear Wei Yuanzhong's lies, but I heard Zhang Changzong's forcing me, and the envoy Frame Wei Xianggong."

Zhang Changzong became angry from embarrassment, and said: "Zhang Shuo and Wei Yuanzhong want to plot rebellion together."

It was upgraded again, and Wu Zetian asked why.

Zhang Changzong had a good memory, and replied: "In the past, when Wei was Prime Minister, it was said that Wei was Yizhou, Yiyin put Taijia, and Duke Zhou took the throne. Why not?"

Zhang said: "Brother Yi heard the words of Yizhou, and he knows the way of Yizhou! In the past, Wei Xiangchu, who was dressed in purple, once told the guests that he was ashamed to be favored for nothing. The minister said that Minggong lived in Yizhou. Ren, how ashamed of the third grade. Your majesty uses the prime minister, if you don’t let him learn from Yizhou, who should he learn from? Today I know that the brothers of Fuyi will take over Taiheng, and the family of Fuwei will be wiped out. But I am afraid of Wei Yuanzhong’s wronged soul, and dare not frame him and also."

How could Wu Zetian not know the story.These are all put on the table, but in the back, Li Xian and Li Dan have been active too much during this period.In particular, I listened to Wang Xiaoer's words and offered advice and advice. Well, half of it is to abdicate.Forcing myself to abdicate, I endured it for a long time without attacking.

And she saw the problem at a glance, and said angrily: "Zhang Yue is also a villain who repeats himself, so he will be detained and interrogated together."

A big drama finally kicked off from the shyness at the beginning, to the present.

Originally, Wang Hua happened to arrive in Jingdezhen, so he was out of the way, but he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.Wei Yuanzhong can't fall, as soon as a big banner is toppled, it will fall, and the capital will really become Zhang Yizhi's world in the future.Li Dan, Li Xian, and Princess Taiping brought a group of confidants and began to discuss.But two people started to mutter, Li Longji and Song Jing discussed for a long time, finally Li Longji stood up and said: "Only one person can persuade Your Majesty."

"Who?"

Li Longji guides Fang.

Everyone understands, at least this Wang Hua's attitude is ambiguous, but he still has a sense of justice.Especially Li Xian, who was silent, but he knew in his heart that Wang Hua was mine.So Li Xian's letters, Li Dan's letters, Li Longji's letters, and Li Guer's, Zhang Jianzhi's, and Li Chiying's letters, friendship, family affection, love, brotherhood, and righteousness were all used.

These letters were immediately sent to Jingdezhen by fast horse.

Wang Hua opened it and took a look. Isn't this forcing me to express my opinion?If he expressed his position at this time, it would be tantamount to directly turning against Zhang Yi's brother.Halo, even Li Bao'er is not sensible.I didn't even have the mind to burn porcelain, and started to think of ideas.
