Summoning Fierce Generals: I Want to Be Emperor

In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...

Chapter 147: Rebellion

Hearing this, Ji Peng couldn't help but hesitate, "I've already betrayed you once, so it doesn't matter if I betray you again.

But if we go to Han, I'm afraid the Han people won't trust us and will try to weaken us."

"Grand Commander, the Han navy is weak. I feel that if we defect to them, they will have to rely on us to deal with the Jin.

Even if the Han people wanted to weaken us, they would not be as ugly as the Jin people.

and……"

"And what?"

"I have received news that the Han State may soon launch an attack on the Jin State and the Teng State, intending to recapture the seven states that the Jin State and the Teng State originally occupied from the Han State.

Grand Commander, I believe you are well aware of how powerful the Han army is now.

That was an existence that could even conquer the entire grassland. All the countries in the Western Continent united together and were defeated by the Han army.

By joining the Han people, we are siding with the victors."

After Huang Ning returned to his residence on Bibo Island, he immediately called over a thin, middle-aged man. "Mr. Gong, I've convinced Grand Admiral Ji that he's interested. Now it depends on whether you can add fuel to the fire and help Grand Admiral Ji make up his mind."

It turned out that Huang Ning had already been bribed by the Seven Banners Guard of the Han State. If it were not for Jia Xu, the commander-in-chief of the Seven Banners Guard, who wanted to fully incorporate the Sixth Regiment of the Jin State Navy into the Han State Navy, Huang Ning might have already escaped from Bi Bo Island with more than 200 warships under his command.

Gong Jun'en, whose official position in the Seven Banners Guard was a colonel, was the person in charge of instigating the rebellion of the Jin navy.

Gong Jun'en then smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Huang, I have prepared several fires for General Ji."

A few days later, the Jin State's Ministry of War issued another order to the Sixth Navy Regiment, requiring the Sixth Navy Regiment to transfer twenty warships of 8,000 tons and fifteen warships of 10,000 tons to the Fourth Navy Regiment.

"Bang——"

Ji Peng punched the desk in front of him hard. Ji Peng, who was extremely powerful, even cracked the heavy desk surface with this punch.

"The people of Jin really think I, Ji Peng, am a piece of cake. I, Ji Peng, will never let go of the fifteen warships of ten thousand tons and twenty warships of eight thousand tons."

At this time, a general named Shi Wei from the Sixth Naval Regiment said loudly: "Grand Commander, I think we should rebel.

If the people of Jin had not set up a conspiracy, we would not have surrendered to them.

Now that they want to get rid of us, we can't just stick our necks out and wait for them to chop us off one by one!"

Huang Ning immediately followed up, “Grand Commander, it’s time to make a decision.

If we are not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome us. We can go and seek refuge with the Han people.

The conditions offered by the Han people to the Grand Commander are quite generous."

The Seven Banner Guards had contacted Ji Peng before. As long as Ji Peng was willing to lead his navy to surrender to the Han Kingdom, Ji Peng would serve as the commander of the Han Kingdom’s navy and hold the official position of Right Vice Minister of the Han Kingdom’s Ministry of War.

There are eight commanders in the Sixth Naval Regiment. After Shi Wei and Huang Ning, the other six commanders also expressed their willingness to follow Ji Peng and surrender to the Han Kingdom.

This finally made Ji Peng make up his mind, "Contact Niu Xun, Chen Zhong and the others. It would be best if we could also bring the Seventh Town to the Han Kingdom."

Niu Xun and Chen Zhong were originally generals under Ji Peng. Later, they were transferred to the Seventh Regiment of the Jin Navy along with a large number of warships.

At the end of January in the 197th year of the Han calendar, something happened that made the Jin emperor Zhang Zhe extremely angry. The Sixth and Seventh Regiments of the Jin Navy actually betrayed the Jin State and defected to the Han State.

Inside the imperial palace of Anqucheng, the capital of the Jin State, a gloomy Emperor Zhang Zhe asked the Left Prime Minister Kou An and the Right Prime Minister Lu Zicheng, "My dear ministers, what do you think our Great Jin should do now?"

The Left Prime Minister Kou An and the Right Prime Minister Lu Zicheng glanced at each other, and then the Left Prime Minister Kou An spoke first: "Your Majesty, among the seven naval towns of our Great Jin, the sixth town is the strongest, and the seventh town is second.

Now that these two towns have defected to the Han State, the Han State's shortcomings have been made up, and the Han State's navy and my Great Jin Navy are now equally powerful.

Next, we, the Great Jin, must be careful that the Han Kingdom will send troops to invade Leizhou, Xinzhou, and Chizhou."

The Seventh Town of the Jin Navy had a total of six warships of ten thousand tons, thirty warships of eight thousand tons, forty warships of seven thousand tons, one hundred warships of five thousand tons, more than one hundred and fifty warships between three thousand and five thousand tons, and more than five hundred warships of less than three thousand tons.

Except for the warships transferred from the Sixth Town to the Seventh Town, the other warships of the Seventh Town were originally from the Jin State Navy.

However, the work of the Seven Banner Guards was done very well. Even some of the former Jin naval generals of the Seventh Town were instigated to rebel by the Seven Banner Guards.

The two sides launched an attack together and easily controlled the generals of the Seventh Town who were still loyal to the Jin court. They took all the warships of the Seventh Town and, together with the Sixth Town, defected to the Han State.

After the Han navy added these 2,000 warships, the Han navy now had more than 3,000 warships, especially hundreds of giant ships with a capacity of more than 5,000 tons. The strength of the Han navy suddenly soared to the point where it could compete with the Jin navy.

Right Prime Minister Lu Zicheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Ministry of War should be held accountable. If the Ministry of War had not pressed them so hard, Ji Peng would not have taken such a risk."

Emperor Zhang Zhe suddenly became even more angry, "Since Ji Peng has already defected to our Great Jin, he should unconditionally obey any orders from the Ministry of War.

"As soon as he was asked to dispatch a few warships, he defected to the Han people. He is simply a hungry wolf that can never be fed."
