When the capital was excited and panicked because of the news that the emperor was going to drive the expedition in person, Jiangning City was also in a state of panic, that is, when Zheng Jun's vanguard arrived in Nanjing, Zhu Yizhu, the governor of Caojiang, who was captured in Guazhou and finally escaped alive and dead, after closing the city gate, if he was not recognized by the soldiers guarding the city, I am afraid that he would not be able to enter this Jiangning City.

When he Zhu Yizhu entered Jiangning City, he found that in Jiangning City, the doors were closed everywhere, and the city was full of panic, and after finally verifying his identity, Zhu Yizhu hurriedly changed into an official, and then entered the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.

“…… Before leaving, he talked about it, but he couldn't even save his life, and the troops of tens of thousands of people only fought for one day. ”

At this time, the soldiers by the door on the side were about to come forward to report, Zhu Yizhu waved his hand to stop it, and now it is better to listen to the movement inside.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this group of pirates is completely different, they are not afraid of death, and their firearms are strong."

He heard the voice of Guan allegiance, this guy was defeated in Yinshan was a miserable, 20,000 Manchurian Eight Banners elite soldiers, even a day's hard work did not last, it was completely defeated, this is the dynasty since the rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a defeat, the past may have been defeated, but the defeat was the Han army, but this time, the defeat was the Eight Banners elite soldiers.

"You still have a word of shirk! Do you know that when the emperor heard that Guazhen had been lost one after another, he was furious, and he actually pulled out his sword to slash the throne, and ordered to prepare for the royal expedition. You can prepare a prevarication first, and then say it to the emperor in person! ”

Lang Tingzuo sneered at Guan Allegiance, which would have him even had the heart to take Guan Allegiance out and cut it down.

Listening to the voice in the hall, Zhu Yizhu, who was somewhat at ease, hurriedly calmed down and motioned to the soldiers to report. The soldier knocked on the door and shouted:

"Caojiang Governor Zhu Yizhu is here."

"After the pirate descended, he actually had the face to call him in!"

Frowning, Lang Tingzuo said.

"Ministry, wronged!"

Zhu Yizhu, who knelt all the way into the hall, shouted:

"Relying on the blessing of heaven, how dare you descend to a thief, relying on help to serve dogs and horses, so obey the power, please be enlightened."

Knowing that since the other party dared to come to see him, Lang Tingzuo must have some ideas, so he didn't stop him immediately, but snorted first, and then said.

"That's it! All right! The matter of surrender, I will talk about it after reading your excerpts. Since you dare to come to see me, you will have a case against Zheng Wei. ”

Now Lang Tingzuo is actually sick and rushed to the hospital, his father was originally a local student in Liaoning, after Nurhachi raised troops to occupy Liaoning, he was captured into the Houjin army, which belonged to the Han army with a yellow flag, and later gradually became important. Later, after Lang Tingzuo entered the court, he was first promoted to the National History Academy by the pen post style, and in the third year of Shunzhi, he followed Haoge to pursue Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and moved to the secretary college with military merits. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, he was awarded the governor of Jiangxi, and the following year he was promoted to the governor of Jiangnan. At that time, there was a serious tax arrears in the Jiangnan area, and Lang Tingzuo carefully checked the tax registration data and found that in addition to the resistance of the Han people, the main problem was the erosion and deficit of officials, so he made a lot of rectifications and clarified the mixed situation of the old and new tax rules. Before Zheng Chenggong sent troops to the north, he said that the troops of the river defense were insufficient, and the ships of the naval division were not prepared, and he suggested that the troops of neighboring provinces be transferred for defense, but this did not receive the attention of Beijing.

Among the banner people, Lang Tingzuo is a very rare and competent local official, and this is the biggest crisis in his career. He knows very well that if he can't keep Jiangning, not only will he die, but the Qing Dynasty may also be more auspicious, and his personal safety will not be considered, if there is no grain and taxes in Jiangnan, what will the court eat? What to use to pay hundreds of thousands of green battalion salaries, without military salaries, how can those green battalion soldiers work for the imperial court? Without the green battalion soldiers, whether the world can be kept or not is a matter of saying,

Therefore, no matter what, we must defend Jiangning, keep Jiangnan, as long as we keep Jiangnan, we can keep the world of the Great Qing Kingdom!

"I think that before the reinforcements from all over the country arrived, Nanjing was powerless to resist, so there was only a plan to delay the army, so that Zheng Kou could wait for it." Zhu Yizhu was captured in Zhenjiang, and said to Zheng Chenggong that he had an old mother to support, Zheng Chenggong gave him five hundred taels of silver in order to dispel the will of the Qing army's resistance, and did not take care of it, so that he had to escape, but on the way back to Jiangning, it was also repeatedly calamitized, after all, this army was in chaos, walking alone for a hundred miles, and the risks on the road were only known to him, but even so, he still desperately fled back to Jiangning, and as soon as he returned to Jiangning, he did not wait to rest, and immediately came to offer advice.

"Since the quick attack is beneficial to Zheng Yi, how can he slow it down?"

Lang Tingzuo immediately asked rhetorically.

"Enlighten the ministry, the ministry can send a person who can speak to Zheng Cheng to say that we want to surrender, but the court has a rule, hold on for 30 days, and if the city is lost, it will not be as guilty as the wife and children. It was agreed with him that Kaesong would surrender in thirty days. ”

Zhu Yizhu hurriedly replied that after surrendering Zheng Chenggong, he had specially observed Zheng Thief and had some understanding of Zheng Chenggong, and of course, more importantly, he knew that Zheng Thief was not in Nanjing, but in the world.

"Make an appointment with Zheng! When this news gets out, I'm going to lose my head! ”

Lang Tingzuo looked at Zhu Yizhu in surprise.

"This is a change of power, our reinforcements will arrive within 30 days, if Jiang Ning can be protected, the ministry and the lowly net worth can also be protected." After Zhu Yizhu answered, Lang Tingzuo didn't say anything, got up and paced and thought.

"Just send someone to lobby, Zheng Cheng will believe it?"

Lang Tingzuo asked rhetorically.

With such a simple plan to delay the army, how could Zheng Wei not believe it?

"I think that in addition to lobbying, we also want to make him believe that we can't fight and dare not fight, so you might as well reveal the twists and turns of asking for help to him to be proud."

Zhu Yizhu said it right.

"Moreover, Zheng Thief's ambition is not in Jiangning, but in the world, if our army is determined to defend it, when the time comes, this one hundred and twenty miles of city wall, Zheng Thief wants to take down tens of thousands of casualties, when the time comes, what will he take the Northern Expedition? Since the humble beginning, Zheng Thief will definitely fall for the scheme! ”

"What if he judges that we are not capable of fighting, but instead accelerates the siege?"

Nodding slightly, Guan Xiaozhong, who agreed with Zhu Yizhu's opinion, asked on the side.

"Ministry, to be honest, judging from the current situation, if it is not for me, whether this Jiang Ning can be preserved is only in Zheng Yi's thoughts, it depends on whether the adults are willing to take the risk of gambling!"

Zhu Yizhu looked at Lang Tingzuo and replied.

"If you win the bet, not only Jiang Ning can be insured, but Jiangnan can also be insured!"
