“…… The officials finally disobeyed, and then the city was besieged and slaughtered, and his wife was taken prisoner. ”

As soon as this sentence was read, everyone in the hall was stunned.

This is simply telling them bluntly that if Nanjing does not surrender, when the time comes, they will definitely slaughter the city like in Anqing!

"The East Captives are so tyrannical, offering the city to him is tantamount to plotting with the tiger, and besides, the Tatars have no faith in their words, how can they easily believe it!"

Although the seemingly righteous and awe-inspiring words caused a chorus of echoes around them, at this moment, someone else said.

"This, the siege of the city and the slaughter, the wife as a prisoner...... If you stick to it, you have to bet on the lives of the whole city, young and old! ”

As soon as he said it casually, everyone in the hall became dumb, and these lords were like a big man in the south, and they no longer spoke.

"Actually, since they can ask for a price, we can also pay it back on the spot!"

After being silent for a long time, Xie Sheng casually reminded him.

"Indeed, indeed, they are asking for such a sky-high price, and they must also give us room to repay the money, besides, this is not a delaying tactic, didn't he give us two days, let's delay it for another ten days, Shi Butang, De Shizi, won't they go back to Nanjing?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme,"

Everyone nodded yes.

"But what if the reinforcements don't arrive in ten days?"

They look at me, I look at yours, and none of them speak. After a long time, Xie Shengcai said.

"Then when the time comes, I, I will wait, and I will only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven!"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood the meaning of his words, which was nothing more than the time - to dedicate the city!

Surrender the city and surrender the ......

Thinking of this, everyone touched their scalps one after another, and for a while, the scalp immediately became slightly itchy.

……

On the sea, a huge fleet sailed towards the south, and Zhu Guoqiang, who was in the bow of the ship, stared at the sea with some anxiety. That day, after learning that Jiannu had crossed the river to besiege Nanjing, he immediately summoned the generals of the army and began to prepare to go south.

Lushun is important!

Nanjing is also important!

Can the southern gangsters who rely on the group of "prostitutes who do not forget to worry about the country, and who do not forget to stay in prostitutes" can keep Nanjing?

They can be relied on, and the sows can go up the tree!

They described Emperor Hongguang as a rare lord of mediocrity and immorality throughout the ages, and directly destroyed the great country, and now if they destroy the millions of people in Nanjing, they will really be sinners by then!

Even if there is a great merit of the "expedition to Liaodong", Zhu Guoqiang will not be able to face the millions of unjust souls in Nanjing!

Perhaps, now he is cold-blooded enough, but he is not strong enough to sit back and watch millions of people be slaughtered!

"Jieruo, how many people are there in Nanjing?"

Zhu Guoqiang didn't have much impression of Nanjing in this era, but Wan Shouqi was a native of Nanzhili, and he had been to Nanjing many times.

"Hui Shiziye, there are hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the thirteen gates of Nanjing, even if it is conservatively estimated that there are 400,000 households, each family of five people, the population should be around two million, and for many years there has been a saying of 'staying in the capital of millions of souls', and now Nanjing's original empty and abnormal Zhongshan area in the northwest of the city is also 'monks and nuns, and the group takes the hidden people can not be disciplined'!"

Two million people!

Two million lives!

And after Jiannu crossed the river, how could he not only slaughter Nanjing?

In an instant, Zhu Guoqiang, who was still immersed in the brilliant achievements of the expedition to Liaodong, only worries about Nanjing were left in his heart.

"Lord Shizi, Nanjing is where the capital is stayed, although there is no heavy defense at the moment, but if the people are sent to defend the city, there are hundreds of thousands of people to defend the city, even if they are incompetent, they will defend it for ten days and half a month!"

"You don't understand ......"

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang smiled bitterly.

"Those guys who are messing around can't be relied on at all!"

Thinking of the appearance of those southern gangsters in history when the army was approaching the city, they looked at their noses and noses and did not say a word, Zhu Guoqiang's heart did not have a bottom.

"Are they unreliable? Can it still be lowered? How could the six princes of Nanjing be so disrespectful of the system? ”

Look at...... They take care of the yarn.

The water is too cold and the scalp is itchy!

If they are individuals, if they care about the system, why would they sacrifice the city?

Recalling another world, a few years later, those people easily sacrificed the city, and Zhu Guoqiang only had one thought left in his heart.

Will those people be able to hold on?

Will they be able to make it to Nanjing?

How long will it take to get to Nanjing?

The current speed of the ship should be about 10 nautical miles, even if there is no delay, from Dalian to Wusong in Shanghai, it will take about two days and two nights, that is, 48 hours.

How long does it take to get from Wusong to Nanjing?

One day?

Two days?

"Lord Shizi, General Chen is in Yangzhou, if he is allowed to rush to Nanjing, he may ......"

Only half of the words were spoken, Wan Shouqi couldn't continue, Chen Wudi stayed in Yangzhou to cover up for the prince, how many people did he have? However, there are only a few thousand people, plus more than 10,000 horses left, and they and Jiannu are desperate, not desperate, but simply killed.

In my mind, I recalled the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers in the Yangzhou battalion, all the elite soldiers and strong generals were taken away by themselves, can I rely on the remaining people?

"Perhaps, perhaps, if the soldiers use their lives, they can delay for two days!"

Liu Hanyi looked at the prince and said.

“…… How can you reach them? We are now at sea, how can we give him a military order. ”

In fact, when they were in Lushun, they had such a proposal, 800 miles to rush to let Chen Wushu lead the troops to aid Nanjing, but everyone knows what this order is!

It was to let Chen Wushu lead those 12,000 officers and soldiers to die!

That's right!

It's to send you to death!

All the elite soldiers and strong generals have been taken away by the prince, what are the 12,000 officers and soldiers in Chen Wu's invincible camp? Thousands of people and the old, weak, sick and disabled of the defeated soldiers collected in Huainan let them defend the city, and they may be able to defend it for a few days. But if you encounter the Qing army outside Nanjing, you will be sent to death!

Of course, more importantly, even if you want Chen Wushu to lead more than 10,000 people to die, you have to be able to give him the military order! The prince was in Lushun before, and now he is at sea, and he just wants to give an order, so it is ......

I can give him military orders.

It's just that......

Zhu Guoqiang's brows frowned, Chen Wudi had a life-saving grace for him, if he hadn't picked up the firewood outside the palace, I am afraid that he would not have had a chance to break out of the sea of fire at all, and now he ......

"Lord Shizi, why are we only General Chen, not Shi Butang? Shi Butang supervised Nan Zhili from all walks of life, and there were no less than 150,000 people under his command! Now that the Jiannu soldiers are coming to the city of Nanjing, he will rush to the aid of Nanjing no matter what. ”

The reminder of others made Zhu Guoqiang's heart chuckle, and his face turned pale.

"It's over!"
