Dongyu has crossed the river!

The sudden news made the officials of the six departments in Nanjing, the lords and ministers who garrisoned Nanjing, and the eunuchs who garrisoned Nanjing all speechless in astonishment.

How is this possible?

One by one, their eyes widened, and they didn't expect that Dongyu had actually crossed the river before that.

How did they get past the river?

After all, after the Yellow River was broken through by the Dongyu, he saw the Donglu kill all the way to the south. They immediately ordered all the ships north of the river to be withdrawn to the south bank. Those who don't know how to swim across the river without a boat.

It seems that this will be safe, and they can also "worry about the country and not forget to prostitute themselves" as in the past, and continue to mix their days in Nanjing.

But why did those Dongyu cross the river? Can you have fun playing?

In fact, in the past few days, in the face of the burning and looting of the Dongyu in Jiangbei, the officials of the six ministries in Kecheng and Nanjing, who seemed to be worried about state affairs, gathered in the hall every day, and all they did was to raise their eyebrows at each other, sometimes for half a day no one said a word, or looked up at the house and groaned. In the end, they all sighed with the tip of their boots, and they scattered as usual.

I really can't figure it out, so I look up at the stars - this is the real situation in the hearts of these officials. In fact, since Yongle moved north, most of the positions in the Sixth Department of Nanjing are fictitious titles. It is precisely because of the so-called "Southern Mixture", that is, these "Southern Mixers" have a prosperous Qinhuai River, and there is a Qinhuai scenery that has been passed down through the ages.

Can be partial...... The pen is in the hands of others, and you can write how you want, it seems that as long as you worry about the country, even if it is a "prostitute", it is also natural, people are not "prostitutes", but worried about the current situation, is disheartened, is the emperor is mediocre, is ...... In fact, it's just a mess!

The "Southern Mix", who usually only cares about "worrying about the country" in the Qinglou Painting Boat, suffers from this chaos, of course I don't know what to do, except to look up at the sky, what else can I do?

Actually, it's not that they don't do nothing.

For example, the impeachment of De Shizi for indiscriminately killing court officials with the intention of rebellion, impeaching him for extorting money and grain from merchants in Yangzhou, and impeaching him for forcibly extorting people's daughters......

As for business...... Well, it seems that the only way to do it is to help the refugees who have fled across the river.

There is also the organization of the people to defend the city. Although these two things are relatively reliable, they do not conform to the style of "Southern Mixer" at all. Could it be that the national crisis is at the head, and these "gangsters" are determined to change their minds and change their ways?

The nature is hard to change, don't even think about it!

Whether it is to help refugees or defend the city, the merchants need to donate, and it is the advantage of being able to make money!

For such a long time, Nanjing, as a large city with a population of one million, only recruited 20,000 or 30,000 people to defend the city, and these "gangsters" can be regarded as worthy of the word "gangsters".

Now this is the case, a few years later in history, when the Qing army approached Nanjing, the same was true, when Zhu Yousong asked the ministers in the court, and none of the ministers spoke. The Hongguang court was in danger, and Zhu Yousong was helpless. After May, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, and others suggested that Zhu Yousong flee, but Zhu Yousong initially refused to flee with the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and planned to defend Nanjing. However, none of the ministers stepped forward to organize the defense of Nanjing. Later, when he summoned the right person again, there was no word up and down.

Although the literati of the Donglin Party in the later Manchu and Qing dynasties described Emperor Hongguang as a rare lord of mediocrity and immorality, most of them were deliberately smeared by later scholars. The so-called draft was also carried out by the government at that time in accordance with the normal procedures of the emperor's wedding, and in the end only three people were screened: one surnamed Ruan, one surnamed Wang, and one self-sacrifice daughter of the official Zhou Shuban. Because the Hongguang Imperial Court had perished before Emperor Hongguang's wedding, Emperor Hongguang never had any contact with these three women. After the Qing army approached Nanjing, Zhu Yousong ordered the three women to be returned to their mother's house, "If the lady is in the factory, return it to her mother's house." ”

Although Emperor Hongguang was not as absurd as the Manchus described, it is also true that Emperor Hongguang was mediocre and unable to control the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty. But in the final analysis, it is an ironclad fact that the South is misleading the country.

Of course, relying on this group of "prostitutes do not forget to worry about the country, and worry about the country does not forget to stay in prostitution", there is no reason for the southern gangsters not to die in the country!

The country was lost, but when the knife was on their heads, they were all dumbfounded. They live all day long, but none of them are fools.

Those Jurchen Tartars are all ferocious and powerful, and the most good thing is to kill people and set fires, as for the truth, they have never talked about it. If they kill them, everyone will be dead.

"Quick, quick, immediately send someone to Yangzhou and ask the prince of De to enter Nanjing!"

Almost immediately, Xie Sheng hurriedly came to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army and shouted at Xu Wenjue, even as a "Southern Gang Boss", he knew that his life was at stake.

He had just taken up the post of secretary of the ministry, and obviously forgot how excited he was when he learned that De Shizi had killed Taoyuan County, and the impeachment of De Shizi was almost without naming and saying that De Shizi had rebelled.

"Now it's far away that can't quench the thirst of the near, those Dongyu are setting up Hongyi cannons outside the city, and breaking the city is just an overnight achievement......"

As soon as Xu Wenjue's words fell, everyone's faces changed one after another, whether it was a civil minister, a lord, or a eunuch, the face of the eunuch was extremely unnatural. The officials of the Nanjing garrison came from both the ministers, the military ministers, and of course the civil ministers, who were jointly responsible for the security affairs of Nanjing.

In the past, they were just deaf ears, but now they come in handy, and they all become a little confused.

"It's over, it's over, once the city is broken, when the time comes, the tyranny of the eastern captives will inevitably kill the people of the whole city, the lives of more than a million soldiers and civilians......"

Zhang Hong, who was pale, said with some excitement, what he said was the military and civilians in Nanjing, but what he was worried about was his own safety, as a eunuch in Nanjing, he never thought that one day he would encounter such a situation.

Zhang Hongyi reminded that everyone was stunned and speechless, how could they not know about the tyranny of Dongyu, just a few days ago, Anqing Mansion had just fallen - the people inside and outside the city were killed!

What does Jiangbei look like now?

A red land!

As soon as the army arrives, the chickens and dogs will not be left!

In an instant, everyone only felt a chill on their backs. Especially the Shixun family in Nanjing, their clan and family business are in the inner and outer cities of Nanjing, how many generations of savings, once this city is broken, it will be all gone!

If they had known that this would happen, it is estimated that they would have sent their belongings to other places early in the morning.

But not now, going out now is tantamount to death.

What to do?

For a while, everyone was speechless, you look at me, I look at you, and finally I can only look up to the sky and sigh.

"That, that......"

Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong muttered.

"Dongyu, didn't Dongyu send a letter, then, what does the letter say?"

"Yes, yes, what does the letter say?"

For a time, including Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping, Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai, Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining, Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, and other ministers who were guarding Nanjing, all looked at Xu Wenjue with blank eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of unknown hope in their eyes.

"Two days,"

Xu Wenjue said as he asked people to send the letter to everyone.

"They gave me two days to open the city and dedicate it, or else I would kill the whole city when it was broken." This is a letter sent in by Dongyu, everyone, let's take a look! ”

See?

Need to look at it again?

The letter still has to be read. But the moment I received the letter, everyone's hearts were cold.

"Yesterday, the soldiers arrived in Anqing, and the officials and civilians in the city held on to the city, regretting the lives of the people, and could not bear to increase the troops. After a few days of delay, the officials finally disobeyed, and then attacked the city and slaughtered him, and his wife was taken prisoner. It is the original intention of not giving, and it is a last resort. After that, the soldiers were everywhere, and the officials, the army and the people resisted and did not surrender, and peace and happiness can be learned. ”
