I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 553: Make a Decision Early
There was a cry of fear in the city, and everyone looked at the hot air balloon floating in the sky with horror.
This is one of the achievements of the Ministry of Light Industry in the past half month, and also one of Zhu Houxuan’s winning methods.

Although the people above were not very skilled in operating it, it still gave everyone a huge shock.
Jiang Bin stupidly caught a piece of paper that fell from the sky. He could guess what was on the paper without even reading it, but he still quickly read it through. The content was that Jiang Bin betrayed his master, plotted rebellion, etc.

Jiang Bin looked down and found that many soldiers and civilians had picked up the leaflets and were passing them around. Given the literacy rate of the people in the capital, the content of the leaflets would quickly spread throughout the city.

Jiang Bin has noticed that some of the Guards soldiers look at him differently.
"Duke, are we going to confiscate these leaflets?" asked a personal soldier.

"No need! There's no point in collecting them now!" Jiang Bin said, pointing at several hot air balloons that had just risen.

I saw these hot air balloons floating in the air, and two long banners were hung from the basket of each hot air balloon. On the banners were written huge characters, saying things like Jiang Bin betrayed his master for fame and fortune, and plotted rebellion. The huge fonts could be seen clearly by everyone in the capital.

If this scene were to happen in the future, people would think it was an advertisement for the opening of a shopping mall.
The soldier stared at the banners in a daze. This method was beyond his imagination. He also knew that it was useless to collect the leaflets.

"Besides, if I confiscate these leaflets, wouldn't it seem like I'm guilty?" Jiang Bin had gradually regained his composure.

"Duke, what should we do now?" asked the soldier.

"First of all, we must try to calm the soldiers. It's not easy for them to believe what is written on the leaflets. They are just suspicious now, but it is difficult to confirm. We can still control the capital. Then we must strengthen the defense of the palace and the Leopard Room. We must not let those people fall from the sky and disturb the Queen Mother and His Majesty," said Jiang Bin.

"Yes, sir!" The personal soldier took the order and left. He understood what Jiang Bin meant. The so-called "disturbance" was that he was afraid that the army outside the city would land in the palace and the Leopard House via hot air balloons and control Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Houzhao.

After the guards left, Jiang Bin looked up at the increasing number of hot air balloons in the sky. His heart was far from calm as he appeared on the surface. He was now very desperate. As a soldier, he had a keen sense of war, especially when a new type of transportation such as hot air balloons appeared.
When he saw the leaflets being dropped, his first thought was that these hot air balloons could be used to drop leaflets as well as bombs.
This is a cross-era war weapon. It greatly increases the control over the third dimension in war. The solid city defense becomes a decoration, leaving them passively vulnerable.
Not only Jiang Bin saw this, but many people in the city saw this. The appearance of the hot air balloon had a huge impact on the morale of the city.
"Duke, I finally found you. Lord Fei and the Queen Mother are calling you over." Gu Yishan appeared on the top of the tall building.

"No! What will happen if I go? Do they have any good ideas?" Jiang Bin said unhappily.

"This treacherous king's methods are really bizarre! They are often unexpected and not a crime of war!" Gu Yishan sighed, and then he was speechless. He also looked at the hot air balloons floating in the sky. There were more than 20 hot air balloons floating in the sky, but not every hot air balloon could successfully complete the task. Some hot air balloons were blown away from the capital and drifted in the opposite direction. Some hot air balloons collided with each other and were entangled in the air. Some hot air balloons even burned directly in the air. The people on them screamed in fear, and the whole hot air balloon slowly fell into the capital.
"Duke, make a decision early!" Gu Yishan suddenly said.

"Maybe we are going to lose. If we lose, the treacherous king will definitely not let us go. In that case, we have nothing to worry about. We will never let this treacherous king have an easy time, even if we die. We must make him completely lose the legitimacy of his succession to the throne." Gu Yishan said firmly.

Jiang Bin fell silent, then he kicked Gu Yishan fiercely and cursed: "It's so easy for you to say that. Your master will be fine hiding in Jiangnan, but I will be cut into pieces and my family will be exterminated!"

Gu Yishan dodged in a panic, but was still kicked in the butt by Jiang Bin. He was kicked out and knocked over a table and chairs. His head was broken and bloody in an instant.
"Hahaha! A real man should die if he wants to, why act like a girl?" Gu Yishan actually laughed. His face was covered in blood, but he didn't care at all. "The treacherous king will lose the legitimacy of his succession and will not be able to rally the people's hearts. When my lord defeats this treacherous king in the future, he will definitely remember the Duke's contribution today and will also make a name for the Duke in the history books."

"Get out! Get out now! Don't think I don't dare to kill you!" Jiang Bin immediately pulled out the knife, said with a red face and heavy breathing.

Gu Yishan stood up leisurely and left.
Leopard room.

Zhang Yong looked at the hot air balloon floating in the sky through the gap in the window. He was under strict surveillance. Although he could not get the leaflets dropped from the hot air balloon, he could clearly see the big words on the banner under the hot air balloon basket.

Combined with the continuous artillery fire he heard in the past few days and Jiang Bin's increasingly gloomy expression, how could he not guess what was happening outside.

He walked gently to Zhu Houzhao's bed, looked at the unconscious Zhu Houzhao, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He controlled his emotions, knelt beside the bed and whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear: "Your Majesty, hold on! The King of Wu is coming to attack, and he is coming to save you."

Zhu Houzhao, who was in a coma, frowned as if he realized something.
At this moment, Zhang Yong heard heavy footsteps coming from outside, and he immediately recognized that it was Jiang Bin.
As soon as Jiang Bin entered the room, he walked towards Zhu Houzhao's bed and stared at him, with murderous intent emanating from him.
Gu Yishan's words touched Jiang Bin to a certain extent, and Jiang Bin also understood what Gu Yishan meant by asking him to make a decision early.
Just let him kill the king!

If he doesn't want to kill the king, he can let others do it.
Jiang Bin had figured out something after so many days, that is, Gu Yishan and his people were not against Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houxun. Zhu Houxun was the person they hated the most, so they wanted to attack Zhu Houxun at all costs.
As long as Zhu Houzhao died, Zhu Houxun, who was only the King of Wu, would not be ranked in the order of succession to the throne. However, with Zhu Houxun's character and power, he would not sit idly by and wait for death. He would definitely ascend the throne by force. This would definitely be unjustifiable and would lose the hearts of many people in the world.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's death is equivalent to weakening Zhu Houxun's power, which will cause a huge blow to Zhu Houxun.
This is also the only way I can attack Zhu Houxuan!
Jiang Bin thought bitterly in his heart, and his eyes gradually turned sinister as he looked at Zhu Houzhao.
