Wang Shaolong said: "Your Excellency the Governor, it's not impossible to do this. After all, Huguang's army was all taken to Yungui by Hong Chengchou, and there was no army stationed in Huguang at all. There were also a large number of soldiers of the Eight Banners, and those who relied on the sailors alone might have defected to the enemy. What's more, several of the generals of the water division in Huguang now have all surrendered from the Ming army. ”

Ma Tengsheng also followed: "Yes, now the Ming army is under such fierce artillery fire. If it weren't for the two sailors, there would have been no such a big battle. Lang Tingzuo also frowned, and said in his heart: "Could it really be that Zhang Huangyan went to Huguang?" Recruited all the sailors of the Great Qing Dynasty? ”

Kaqam didn't understand the sailor either, and said: "I think it's a bit like it, such a huge sailor, even if they are given time, they can't build so many cannons." What's more, they didn't mean to storm Jiangning City, but were a little anxious to go to sea. It seems that there are some pirates' paths, which is also in line with Zhang Huangyan's desire to meet Zheng Yi. ”

Lang Tingzuo said: "Whether they attack the city or not, we can't be careless. Let all the defenders go up to the city to defend. As soon as he heard that he was going to let the soldiers go to the city, Liu Fangming suddenly said: "Lord Governor, why don't you let the army be under the city first, and avoid the edge for the time being." Now the artillery fire of the sailors is strong, and the casualties will only increase if they go to the city. ”

Lang Tingzuo looked at the cannonballs that were still flying in the sky, and had no choice but to say: "Okay, let the army assemble under the city first, and then go to the city when the artillery fire of the sailor division eases a little." Then he shouted: "Let the gunners in our city hurry up their cannons, they are all in the fort, what are they afraid of with cover?" Take advantage of this opportunity to kill more sailors first. ”

Titicham said: "Just in case, we must prepare to defend the city with all our might. I'm going to let the Eight Banners soldiers prepare to defend the city. Lang Tingzuo was overjoyed and said: "Well, there is General Lao Ka Kamu." "Lang Tingzuo is worried about the lack of troops, and now Tikhamu can take the initiative to send troops, which is exactly what Lang Tingzuo can't ask for.

Just as the defenders of Nanjing City were engaged in an artillery battle with the naval division, Wei Du took the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the army brought by Wang Xing, and was meeting under the mountains south of the city. Originally, Weidu wanted to only bring the Eight Banners of Manchuria into the city, and when Zhu Youdong came to attack the city with a large army, Weidu relied on the identity of the Eight Banners to open the city gate.

But now that the sailor has been engaged in an artillery battle with the defenders in the city, it is really uncertain whether he will have another chance to open the city gate after entering the city. Now that he saw the army of Wang Xing and others, he wanted to take them into the city together. If it is discovered, it is better to attack it forcibly, so as not to fail to deceive the city, so that the army is all stopped outside the city.

Wang Xing and the three of them led the army all the way to hurry, and after arriving here. The army was also tired and staggered, and it was simply unable to fight again, and now that he got Weidu's proposal, he immediately agreed.

So as soon as a few people discussed, they asked Hu Yiqing to take 3,000 people and follow Wei Du into the city. Then Wang Xing and Wang Liu Cang led the army to meet in the back, preparing to attack the city.

Wei Du led the army to the gate of Shangfang in Nanjing, looking at the city gate that was still open. Immediately, he was overjoyed, and led the army directly down to the city gate. The defenders of Shangfangmen heard the roar of cannons on the Yangtze River, and there were still minds to pay attention to the army outside the city.

It was only when they heard the shouts of the people at the gate that the defenders suddenly noticed that an army was approaching. At this time, it was too late to close the city gate, but fortunately, the hundred households guarding the city found that it was the Manchurian Eight Banners army that came. Immediately, he was relieved, and the hundred households guarding the city hurriedly ran down to the city.

These hundred households had just arrived at the gate of the city, and Wei Du had already brought a large army to the front of these hundred households. When the hundred households saw that these people were really Manchurian Eight Banners, they immediately did not dare to step forward to stop them. Standing aside with a busy smile, he waited very respectfully for the guards and others to enter the city.

Baihu just stood there, waiting for the guards to pass by. He asked, "General, where did you come from?" I would like to ask a few generals to let me know. After the army entered the city, if the governor asked, the small one would be able to reply. Wei Du ignored it, and glanced at a Eight Banner soldier beside him, and the Eight Banner Soldier immediately went up with two whips and whipped them on the heads of these hundred households.

The blood flowed on the heads of the hundreds of households that were pumped suddenly, but these hundred households did not dare to hide, and they were still there to resist being pumped. After the Eight Flags were drawn, he said sharply: "What kind of dog are you?" How dare you care about our Manchurian affairs? Believe it or not, I'll cut you right now, and Lang Tingzuo doesn't dare to say anything. ”

Seeing that these Eight Banner soldiers were so fierce, hundreds of households were whipped when they went up, and their heads were pumped and bleeding. The other guards didn't dare to step forward, and they all looked at these people from a distance. Wei Du then said: "Let me tell you, we all came back from Fujian." There are also 3,000 Han and Eight Banners troops behind, and they are also going to enter the city. Where is the school field in Jiangning City? You take them with you quickly, and don't intervene in matters that shouldn't be in your mind. ”

Baihu, who had just been whipped twice, is still a little foggy in his head. Seeing that Wei Du spoke, he didn't care about the blood left on his head. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I will definitely take them to the school field." Don't dare to ask more, you must do a good job of the affairs of the masters. ”

At this time, a city guard next to him said: "Hundred households, there are now 3,000 people of General Liu Fangming in the school field." Now that these people are suddenly added, what should I do when there is a conflict? Now let Liu Fangming's army move away, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Wei Du didn't make a move this time, but said coldly: "What kind of conflict?" Those green battalion soldiers of Liu Fangming dare to grab the camp with our Eight Banner soldiers? You go and tell Liu Fangming and ask him to take their military land to find another place. The hundred households glared at the soldier who had just spoken, and blamed him for talking nonsense.

With a fierce look in his eyes, he said darkly: "Fuck, why don't you have any eyesight, you didn't see that I was whipped twice just now, and now you have to make trouble for me, wait for Lao Tzu to deal with these Eight Banners dog Tartars first, and then clean you up when I come back." The guard who was watching was cold, and hurriedly hid behind.

Scared away his soldiers with his gaze, the hundred households then turned their heads and said to Wei Du with a smile: "The general is right, the green battalion soldiers will definitely not compete with the Eight Banners soldiers for the camp." Besides, now Liu Fangming's army has gone to Beicheng and is defending in the city. When the time comes, let them go to the military camp in the north of the city, and it will also be convenient for them to defend the city. ”

Wei Du said: "That's good, if something goes wrong, Lao Tzu will go to Lang Tingzuo and ask him to give me an explanation." As he spoke, he saw Hu Yiqing and others coming over with the army, and immediately said to the hundred households guarding the city: "Now that the army of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is coming, you can take them to the school now." ”

Then he pretended to look at the other Manchurian Eight Banners around him, and said: "Okay, let's go to the city first, and if you have family members in Jiangning, you can go home and have a look." The surrounding Manchurian Eight Banners suddenly smiled, as if they really wanted to go home. When the hundreds of households defending the city saw it, these Manchurian Eight Banners all had an expression of home, and they no longer had any doubts.

The more than 20 people who were beside Weidu were all Manchurian Eight Bannermen who surrendered to the Ming Army a long time ago. One of the general flags is Dong Egelli, who surrendered in Guizhou, now called Ding Sihan. He immediately said: "General, all of them who have families have gone home." Those of us who don't have family members are in a hurry to go back first. It is said that the girl on the Qinhuai River is a must, and we all want to see it. I also asked the general to give us a few half-day off, and we will also go to see and see. ”

As he spoke, Ding Sihan and the others all showed indescribable smiles. Of course, Wei Du knew that they were not going to visit the flower boat, and immediately smiled: "You guys, in Fujian, haven't those Han girls had enough fun?" I still want to find those dusty women, and I'm really hungry. ”

Ding Sihan and the others immediately defended: "General, it's not our good mouthful. It's that this Qinhuai River is said to be so godlike, we came to Jiangning for a trip and didn't go to see it. Wouldn't it be that he failed Jiang Ning and his party this time. Seeing this, Wei Du said: "Okay, you guys can go, but before the time comes, you must return to the city, and you must not stay outside the city." ”

Seeing that Wei Du agreed, Ding Sihan and the others hurriedly said happily: "Don't worry, general, we will definitely rush back." As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and went in the direction of the Qinhuai River. Seeing this, these hundred households no longer hesitated, and took Hu Yiqing and others who came in from behind to the school.

After Wei Du and the others entered Shangfang Gate, they walked along the street all the way to the direction of Tongji Bridge. It didn't take long for them to cross the Tongji Bridge and come to the Tongji Gate Gate. As long as you enter this gate, you will be considered to have broken through two gates. Even now Wei Du and others have the identity of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to cover up. Looking at the Nanjing City Gate in front of me, I still feel my heart beating faster.

In the nervous mood of everyone, they came to Tongjimen. Before Wei Du and the others could get closer, the defenders had already appeared in the city and shouted, "Where are you troops, and why did you come to the inner city?" You should be stationed in the Grand Campus, and no one shall enter the inner city without the order of the Governor. ”

Wei Du suddenly understood that this must be too few defenders in the city. For the safety of the inner city, Lang Tingzo refused to let all the troops into the city. Immediately, he said sharply in Manchurian dialect: "Bullshit governors, Lao Tzu is the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they should be stationed in Manchuria." How dare you go into the city without us? Who gave you the guts? ”

The guard of Tongji Gate is Wang Dagong, the younger brother of Wang Dacheng, the garrison of the right battalion of the water division. It was originally because of the relationship that I got this errand, and now it is a small hundred households. Maybe it's because someone usually supports him and has developed an unruly temperament, and he can't stand the slightest grievance.

Now I see that the people in the city are so arrogant, and they are still muttering, no one can understand them. Immediately shouted to the city: "Where did you come from, the eight lambs, are you not tired of living?" You dirt buns are tired and crooked, and you dare to go down to Jiangning City to spread wild, and you don't want to see what kind of place this is. ”

While scolding, he said to the people around him: "Set up all the bows for me, I see who dares to spread wild here, Lao Tzu will shoot them all to death." As he spoke, he didn't forget to look down at the city, but this time he looked a little blind. Why are these people's military uniforms not like green battalion soldiers, and they look a little familiar.

This is a soldier next to him who said: "Lord Baihu, don't mess around, the people in the city are all Eight Banner soldiers." Listening to them, it is estimated that it is either the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Mongolian Eight Banners. We can't offend these ancestors, or we won't have any good fruit to eat. ”

Hearing the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Wang Dagong was excited. I suddenly realized how to get into trouble, and I didn't dare to be arrogant. Immediately said to the people around him: "You go and report to the governor, just say that there are eight banner soldiers entering the city, let him quickly get an idea." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dagong felt that it was very unsafe for him to stay here. If the Eight Banners soldiers under the city force themselves to open the door, will they open it or not? When you open the city gate, you will soon face these fierce Eight Banner soldiers. If you don't open it, you will provoke these Eight Banner soldiers, and it is estimated that you will not have a way to live.

Wang Dagong thought about it for a while, and he still had thirty-six plans, and he was the best plan. Immediately said to his soldiers: "Forget it, I scolded them just now, they must hate me very much." If I go down to meet them now, I'm sure I'll be killed on the spot. I can't stay here, I'll go and report to the Governor in person, and you will let these Eight Banners soldiers enter the city immediately. As long as I avoid this time, it will not be easy for them to find me in the future. ”
