When Abatai led the remnants of Jiannu to the road of no return, nearly 60,000 officers and soldiers had gathered outside the walls of the outer city of Nanjing.

Of course, according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, they did not forget to build the "Beijing View"!

But just a few hours of effort, a square-shaped "Jingguan" was erected there, but this "Jingguan" is headless, and those heads will be dedicated to Xiaoling for a while.

Now the Ming army under the city of Nanjing is not all Zhu Guoqiang's descendants, there are not only the subordinates he brought back from Liaodong, but also the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Army, of course, the brothers of the "Peacock Banner", and the elite brought by Huang Degong and others.

When Zhu Guoqiang arrived on horseback, Xu Wenjue, Zhao Zhilong, Xie Sheng and others on the city wall all looked at him in amazement.

Now what?

This god killer won!

What to do?

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.

At the beginning, they turned away De Shizi for the sake of "the safety of the people in the city", and now that they have won, what should they do next?

It's not easy to do!

It's really not easy to do!

The battle of these two days, especially today's battle, was a tragic battle, and so many people died, will De Shizi blame everyone at that time?

"Everyone, if De Shizi enters the city, someone will definitely lose his head, and that person will kill Wei Hehe!"

There are also reminders from others, in the past, they thought it was just a name, but now...... Looking at the scene under the city, no one will doubt it anymore.

Thousands of heads were loaded on wagons before the battle—they were all cut off from the corpses of Jiannu, and hundreds of carts were piled up!

What did he cut off these heads for?

Of course, it is dedicated to Emperor Gao's spirit!

This guy is really cruel, he is not afraid of shocking Emperor Gao's spirit!

"That'...... Just stop him out of the city? ”

"Stop!"

"It has to be stopped!"

"How?"

"Naturally, it is a matter of righteousness!"

……

"The prince of the Great Mingde Domain is here, why don't you open the city gate to welcome you!"

When the soldiers under the city shouted these words, Xie Sheng and the others in the city hesitated for a while, and then saw Xie Sheng take a step forward, proudly walked to the edge of the arrow battlement, and replied loudly.

"The officials and people of Nanjing have thanked De Shizi for his rescue, but the official has something unclear, why did De Shizi negotiate peace with the captive head without the permission of the imperial court, and let the captive head leave Nanjing privately, could it be that there is another inside story?"

Xie Sheng said as he arched his hand to the north and said loudly.

"As an official of the Ming Dynasty, we are ordered by the emperor to guard the place, so we naturally have to be responsible for the court and the people in the city.

After that, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the city, Xie Sheng said again.

"But please rest assured, we have prepared money and food for the army to reward, and I also ask the prince to order his subordinates to cross the river......"

Without waiting for Xie Sheng on the city wall to finish speaking, Zhu Guoqiang, who was already pale, came to the city wall on his horse, stared at the people in the city and said.

"You dare to stop me from entering the city?"

"Lord Shizi, it's really our duty to stop it......"

"Where the duty is, what a duty! Wow! After a long time, Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses were desperately trying with Jiannu outside, and it is your duty to surrender the city! Hmph, I'm going into the city, who dares to stop me! ”

Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on a horse, stared at the people in the city and shouted loudly.

"Open the gates!"

But there are only three words, but these three words make the hearts of everyone in the city tremble slightly! This god of killing is really going to enter the city...... You can't let him in!

"Guogong, this city gate can't be opened, once the city gate is opened, this fang will definitely kill someone!"

Just when everyone was panicked and persuaded Wei Guogong not to open the city gate, none of them noticed that a team of officers and soldiers guarding the city quietly opened the city gate. The leader was a general in armor, and after opening the city gate, he was seen walking in front of everyone and bowing to Zhu Guoqiang.

"Xiaolingwei commanded Mei Chungong to welcome the prince into the city!"

The gates are open!

The people in the city were all stunned, Xu Wenjue, Zhao Zhilong and others all looked like they were not possessed, they never thought that the city gate would be opened.

Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on a horse, looked at Mei Chun seriously.

Mei Chun's ancestor Mei Yin was the son-in-law of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Mei Yin to assist Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of Jianwen, who inherited the throne. After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, rebelled in the fiefdom, Mei Yin was ordered to garrison Huai'an and repelled Zhu Di's Yan army many times, and Zhu Di was forced to bypass Huai'an and capture Nanjing from Yangzhou instead. After Zhu Di seized the throne, Mei Yin was forced to surrender. But he still cherished Emperor Jianwen in his heart, cursed Zhu Di, and was finally exiled by Zhu Di to Liaodong, and was pushed into the water and drowned by the escorted Jinyi Wei on the way to exile. After Mei Yin's death, Zhu Di sent Mei Yin's son to do the hard work of guarding the tomb, and the Mei family began to inherit the command of Xiaolingwei from generation to generation, and it has been passed on to Mei Chun's generation for more than 200 years.

The irony in history lies in this, Zhao Zhilong, who held the military power of Nanjing and chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty during the Hongguang period, the ancestor was Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi was ordered to lead the army to meet Zhu Di, the king of Yan. However, Zhao Yi defected and surrendered, assisting Zhu Di in capturing Nanjing. The Zhao family has been reused by Zhu Di's lineage in all dynasties, and in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zhilong, who was favored by him, defected and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The ancestor died of rebellion against Zhu Di, and then Mei Chun, a descendant of the Mei family, who was received coldly, decided to die for Zhu Di's descendants.

When the Qing army entered the city, the whole city surrendered, only Mei Chun led the troops to raise troops in Xiaolingwei, and the Qing army fought for the city gate, wanting to drive the Qing army out of Nanjing, after the defeat of the army, only 18 people were left to retreat to Xiaolingwei to defend to the death, and finally wiped out 300 Qing troops at the cost of 18 people all killed. In the "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty", he left a few sentences: "Command Mei Chun to raise troops in Xiaolingwei and die." ”

Such a person is a true loyal servant! It's just a pity that the Ming Dynasty has never used such loyal ministers, but the Ming Dynasty didn't use him in the past, and now they can use him. Moreover, he was the first to open the gates of the city to greet him.

"Therefore, Rong Dinggong is your ancestor, he died for Jianwen's lonely loyalty, the Mei family has been loyal for generations, but today you are dedicated to me, and there is no shame to see the ancestors under the terrible nine springs?"

Shi Ziye's question made Mei Chun stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and said.

"The prince led the troops to aid Nanjing, and he should enter the city! The ancestors know that if I don't open the city gate, I will have no shame to see my ancestors! ”

Everything in the world has a reason. In Mei Chun's opinion, people from so far away rushed over to fight with Dongyu for a few days and nights, and finally beat Dongyu away. Now the city of Nanjing is safe. But just keeping people out of the door like this, there is no such reason in this world.

That's why he opened this door. Of course, he also knew what might happen when the door was opened.

What will happen?

"What do you think of the princes in the city?"

Faced with this question, Mei Chun was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"The captives are traitors!"

"Then after I enter the city, if I want to kill the traitorous minister, will you stop me?"

With a bang, when the words entered his ears, Mei Chun only felt like thunder, although he was very surprised in his heart, but. He thought about it, but got up to lead the horse for the prince.

"The last general is willing to lead the way for the prince!"

His answer made Zhu Guoqiang laugh.

"Okay, come with me into the city!"

When leading the men and horses into the city, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the soldiers inside and outside the city gate, most of them were wearing shabby mandarin duck battle jackets.

"Lord Shizi, they are all military households of Xiaolingwei, and they are hard to guard the tomb, so they ...... Let the prince laugh. ”

Laughing?

What are you laughing at?

A few years later, when the defenders of Nanjing surrendered, only the more than 1,000 military households of Xiaolingwei were among the outliers, they were the most difficult part of the Nanjing official army, with no food and clothing, who would have thought that this forgotten army would finally rise up to resist.

Looking at the military household standing with a knife on the side trembling slightly because of the cold, seeing this, Zhu Guoqiang jumped off his horse and walked in front of a veteran with white hair and beard.

"What's your name?"

"Back to the words of the prince, the villain Zhao Lianchu has guarded the filial piety tomb for generations."

Last name: Zhao ......

The veteran's answer made Zhu Guoqiang nod silently, according to the records in the history books, Dong and Zhao of the Xiaoling Guards could not go to the battlefield to resist the Qing Dynasty and kill the enemy because they were old and weak, and after hearing the news of the loss of the Ming Xiaoling, they took their wives and daughters to hang themselves.

Is that him?

Zhu Guoqiang didn't know how to verify, they were just small people, and they didn't even leave their names, and now, there is no need to verify.

"Is it cold?"

"Yes, a little, it's all small and useless, and the body is old and weak!"

Without waiting for Zhao Lianchu to finish speaking, Zhu Guoqiang put the cloak on his body.

"World, world, this, this, how can the little one be ......?"

Zhao Lianchu hurriedly wanted to take it off, but was pressed tightly by the prince.

"Don't take it off, follow me to finish the business first, and then take back everything that belongs to you!"

When he said this, Zhu Guoqiang saw a group of people coming down from the city, and as soon as they saw Zhu Guoqiang, they greeted him one after another.

"We are waiting to welcome the prince into the city......"

Okay!

This face has become, it's really similar to changing face!

The ones who were still pushing on the wall just now are all here one by one.

In fact, their hearts are also bitter.

Just like Xu Wenjue, he never dreamed of it. The gates of the city were opened. Originally, according to his idea, as long as he relied on the city gate, he blocked the son of virtue in front of him. The big guy is naturally safe.

But his surname is Mei. I actually opened the door. That's a ...... In the future, it will definitely be reported to the imperial court. Refer to him ruthlessly.

Look at the civil servants who stood up to greet them. The smile on Zhu Guoqiang's face became colder and colder. Finally, he looked at Mei Chun's body, and then asked again.

"Mei Chun, tell me, what is a traitor!"

Faced with De Shizi's question, Mei Chun replied without hesitation.

"The captives are traitors!"
