"These crazy people are really disgusting, the so-called not in their position and not in their politics, they talk nonsense all day long, how do they know the difficulties of the court."

Yang Wencong lamented for a while, when he just mixed into Nanjing, it was several princes who were threatened with death in every way, and they did not dare to accept the enthronement in Nanjing.

Whether it was training the new army, or inspecting various guard posts, and investigating how terrible the situation of empty pay was, all of them were completely resisted, and in the end, a dog he raised at home was chopped up alive and thrown into his own backyard, and he was naturally frightened, and naturally he didn't dare to say anything about strengthening the army.

This Nanjing city is really delicate and mechanical, Zhu Yuanzhang himself is from the bottom, and he has many details in detail, a person who can stipulate the clothes worn by the common people, and the Zhu Di in the back is the first person to succeed in the rebellion.

In this case, if anyone rebels, someone will worry about you if you have a little more power, but in the same way, this is simply too convenient and corrupt, the rules are dead after all, and many times as long as you take advantage of loopholes, even a few people who want to arrest people will be made impossible to use by these rules and regulations.

The two of them are high-level, so naturally they have first-hand news, knowing that Zuo Mengeng did not stay in Anqing after he made his move, the latest news is that he is going downstream, this news is not known to others, but people have arrived at it.

Of course, Zuo Mengeng's way of playing regardless of the rear and logistics also made many famous generals of the Ming Dynasty very puzzled, in their opinion, this is not waiting for them to clear the wilderness, never fight, and let Zuo Mengeng die under the city, according to the detailed return, even if Zuo Menggeng's side unites the anti-thief Zhang Xianzhong, it is only a dozen small cannons that are not very big.

After the death of Zhang Xianzhong in history, Li Dingguo combined with the last forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and only some craftsmen from Guangdong made cannons for them.

Of course, this is not because I am so awesome, but simply because I am too wasteful.

Oh no, my Qing Dynasty itself has the task and tradition of monitoring the progress of Han weapons, so to speak, in terms of suppressing the technology of the Han people, it is simply perfect!

But for the time being, Zuo Mengeng and Li Dingguo's cannons are small cannons, that is, they are larger than the tiger cannons, and they can't be called red-coated cannons, and it is naturally difficult to break the city.

And under such a rapid march, how many people and how many artillery and how many materials and how much food are on the ship is almost clear at a glance, in the final analysis, Li Dingguo is walking too fast, the food must be insufficient, of course, this is Jiangnan, just open a certain landlord's Tuweizi, there will be endless food, but you always need time to open the Tuweizi, in this era, more than ten days are fast, with this kung fu, not to mention the reinforcements from all over the country, Nanjing City has long been reinforced.

And although those meticulous works kept advocating that the prince had suppressed the battle and an army of 300,000 people coming, the few people who had seen the fleet swore by their whole family life curses, no more than 40,000 people, including the exiles who came with it.

Of course, 40,000 people is already a lot, and with the city wall of Nanjing, it is not even possible to fully defend it, and many sections of the city wall are actually empty.

Of course, since Hou Fangyu's affairs have already been inquired about, it is not the calculation of these two bigwigs, but even if there are thousands of strategies in their chests, and there is no equivalent powerful agency to carry it out, it is also powerless!

Everyone knows that after knowing the direction of the enemy, it is necessary to carry out a certain amount of fortified clearing, and it is best to burn everything that can be burned, but the Ming Dynasty is a place where the gentry are reasonable, they can certainly use knives and killings to expel the displaced people, so as to prevent them from being used by the Zuozhang coalition army, but the same method of treating the same meat eaters is obviously not possible.

You're on stage now, people can't do anything about you, once you step down, it's ......

Mexico in later generations is in such a state, those big drug lords from armored vehicles to tanks to helicopters to miniature submarines private special forces are readily available, some people go directly to the capital, and it is not difficult to become president themselves, but the world's acceptance of the "drug lord" president is still a little low, and it lacks operability, so it is not good to really do it, otherwise......

There are only two ways for Mexican officials, either to take bribes and participate in drug trafficking, or to be killed by drug dealers with guns and cash, a certain anti-drug president, before he is about to step down, drug dealers in many streets and alleys are full of all kinds of provocative notices, what your retirement will be happy, optimistic about your daughter, etc.

This is where the loss of order at the grassroots level lies.

If you do something that benefits the country and the people in office, you will inevitably offend a large number of meat eaters, who may not be able to deal with you in person, but it is also very simple to engage you behind your back.

On the contrary, it is to be with the light and say some beautiful things, but if everyone embezzles together, then good results can be achieved.

At present, there are still people who are fantasizing about Zhao'an.

"This Zuo Liangyu is not from a high background, it seems to be from Shandong."

"Shandong Linqing people, I have read the edict that made him a marquis, it seems that the family is almost dead, just Zuo Mengeng's son, and he has no money to make a living, so he applied for recruitment and went to Liaodong to fight."

"Hey, it's really a mess, such a person with no foundation, just climbed up, and wanted to find a lobbyist to persuade his son, but he couldn't remember who promoted him."

"I also have the impression that he was originally a small capital, and after losing the battle, he lost his official position, as if he was ...... The Changping military gate helped him recover, who was the governor of Changping for three years of Chongzhen? Originally, these officialdom trends were all in the minds of these old oilers, and the resumes and identity relationships of the scholars in the imperial examinations every few years were a huge and terrifying network, which could have been blurted out, but after all, this was a matter of more than ten years and almost twenty years, and the two of them were not young, and they could only recall a little bit.

"That's how many years have it been, it seems to be vivid, Chongzhen three years, I just got lifted, that time I entered Beijing to catch the exam, I just went to the East and was taken into Kou, but it was very tragic."

What Yang Wencong didn't say was that he had just killed Yuan Chonghuan, a big problematic guy, and many bigwigs of the Donglin Party were seen through by the emperor who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they were full of male thieves and prostitutes, so many people were driven away, and their power was greatly weakened, and the way to pass the imperial examination was temporarily cut off, and he was unable to pass the Jinshi because of this.

In fact, compared to the terrible township test, the proportion of the Jinshi exam is not high, and it is relatively not difficult to cheat, as long as you are above the level, after all, the township exam can temporarily find someone to ask questions, but the test is to find someone in the Hanlin Academy and those few people, it is very convenient to find someone in advance.

With this change, Yang Wencong has not been able to be a jinshi for many years, and it is also the destiny of heaven, and he has escaped the bloody rain many times during the Chongzhen years, but now he has finally become a squire in the military department, and he also relies on his own luck.

"What happened back then, the old man argued for Scholar Qian because of Yuan Chonghuan's matter, and Emperor Zheng refuted it, and he didn't have much impression of this, but I remember that he was not an acquaintance."

Fortunately, the Nanjing Military Department served as the accompanying capital, and all kinds of documents were complete, and the two of them gave an order, and soon a bookstore rushed over, holding a few books in his hand, and shouted: "Two adults, I found it." ”

"Chongzhen's three-year Changping governor, it is Hou Sui, this is the resume of this Hou Sui, I ......"

Yang Wencong and Huang Daozhou glanced at each other, and then asked, "What did you say!" ”

"It's Hou Sui, he's ......"

Both of them are extremely smart, and at the same time they are quite familiar with the officialdom struggle over the years, and they are also quite familiar with Hou Sui's ups and downs and promotions, and they only remembered at this time: "The old man is really confused, when the thieves besieged Kaifeng, Zuo Liangyu was already very domineering, pushing three obstacles and refusing to send troops, the first emperor is because of this, so he will be incompetent and corrupt Hou Sui again, begging him to go to Baoding to supervise the war, and relieve the siege of Kaifeng, but that Hou Sui is greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuses to enter the army at all, and sits back and watches Kaifeng City being ......."

"Ah......" Yang Wencong suddenly screamed and said, "That Hou Fangyu ......"

"What's wrong with Hou Fangyu," Huang Daozhou muttered, remembering something at the same time, and screamed: "How dare Hou Fangyu go to Jinchuan Gate at this time!" ”

Yang Wencong gritted his teeth, and he was also flustered at this time, and when he gave the order to his subordinates, he didn't follow the rules: "Go to Jinchuanmen, arrest people quickly, yes, let that Hou Fangyu come to see me quickly, and also, transfer troops to fight, Jinchuanmen can't be lost!" ”

Compared with the fleet of hedgehogs gathered together when Li Qianqian passed by, the fleet at this time stretched for ten miles, and the ships sailing in the front were huge warships, and those cannons were placed in the most important position, after all, no one knew whether Nanjing would send warships to attack, and after a night of delay in Anqing, Li Dingguo made up his mind and took advantage of the opportunity of no reaction to rush to Nanjing.

This fleet is mighty for more than ten miles, compared to the unsuccessful start of the original time and space, this time Zuo Mengeng received assistance from the upstream, not to mention, there was no interference from the Qing army, and the panic of the Ming army was more serious, so it was not trapped as before, because Zuo Liangyu died of illness, and promoted Zuo Mengeng, the second generation of goods, resulting in this kind of army not winning any battles at all.

The strength and weakness are reversed, and Nanjing City has never been able to organize a strong counterattack, which is the key.

"Dashuai, there is a ship in front of me arranging iron chains, I'm afraid it is a means that the Nanjing Imperial Court is going to use to intercept us."

Zuo Mengeng laughed, although it is dangerous to kill him regardless of this, but after all, there is the eldest brother who guarantees that he will succeed, even if it doesn't work, with the support of the Great Western Army behind him, where is his opponent in the entire Jiangnan? The woman's benevolent Mrs. Xing was no longer under his words.

When I got here, sure enough, as the eldest brother sent his subordinates to write in the letter, there was no one in Nanjing City who could be in charge at all, in other words, there were many political departments, and they had as many as ten days to raise troops, although in the eyes of later generations, ten days could only touch the edge of Nanjing from Wuchang, it was too slow, but such a way to give up logistics and behind, the choice of direct attack was almost to find death, although he did not know mathematics, but all his subordinates said that they only had a few days of food, if they could not beat Nanjing City, and could not find food in the same place, Then only starved to death.

Of course, this is obviously impossible, although the warships down the river have gradually begun to pull out of the distance, more than ten miles in length, can no longer talk about command, but for how to capture those unlucky ships quite experienced, Nanjing, as a grain sales and distribution center, is naturally full of ships full of rice, and as an inefficient and corrupt court in human history, the Ming Dynasty can hardly even order merchant ships to get out.

Under such chaos, there are naturally a lot of things, capsized, sick and died on the ship, and so on, as for the stranded, the leakage is even more, outside Nanjing City by the Yangtze River, there are almost thousands of ships, at this time really found that there are a large number of warships appeared, all panicked, but at this time what can they do, it is too late.

And looking at the banner of "protecting Confucianism and defending the country" hanging on the remote city wall, Zuo Mengeng put down the telescope in his hand that was given from Li Dingguo, this is the legendary imperial capital! Satisfaction is like drinking honey water.

However, it is not easy to dock, the shipwrights in the port have already fled, and countless ships have no time to run, they are all blocked here, thanks to Li Dingguo's early estimation of this, many of the collected displaced people themselves are working as coolies in Anqing, and they are not ignorant of the process of how to unload goods at the port, and the countless small boats that have been prepared have also begun to transport soldiers ashore.

In this process, although it was messy, and there were even cases of drowning directly after falling into the water, but under the continuous morale of some people, they still riveted forward with all their strength!

Although there were no siege equipment, and the cannons on the city in the distance began to be filled with gunpowder and ready to fire, they still contained enthusiasm and longed for the city of Nanjing, which was full of rich people, and the Qinhuai River, which was full of beauties.

The sound of various gongs and drums also sounded, and the chaos in the city made everyone panic.

When Yang Wencong panicked, he finally remembered where the nearest military camp was to Jinchuan Gate, and sent someone to send the order, but the officer was not there, until he was urged, and slipped out of the women's room while wearing pants in a panic, and learned that his boss wanted to go to Jinchuan Gate to maintain order and support as soon as possible, but he didn't shirk it at all, what do you think? The Jinchuan Gate is one of the north gates of Nanjing, facing the Yangtze River, and the daily goods are not counted, even if they don't charge any black money, they are also very oily, and this order is simply intimate.
