On the day of the fall of Nanjing, Cao Bianjiao walked slowly all the way, and arrived in Wuhu, the marching speed was not fast, but it was not very slow, and it was Fang Guoan who stayed in Wuhu, and it was also very unexpected to see Cao Bianjiao suddenly lead the army to the east, and he hurriedly welcomed Cao Bianjiao into the city, and he was also a stomach of bitter water that no one confided in.

"Fang Guoan, although you are not my descendant, but I have taken a lot of care of you over the years, and I also have high hopes for you, and I arranged you in Wuhu, just to think that when you are in trouble in the imperial court, you can lead the army to rescue in time, why are you staying here, do you want to support the army and respect yourself, or do you want to take refuge in the Manchu Dynasty?"

In the face of Cao Bianjiao's accusation, Fang Guoan also hurriedly explained: "General, the last general doesn't want to go, it's really the last general's soldiers, the general may not know, the general left more than 10,000 people to the general's infantry and horses, but after the general was demoted to the west, the general's soldiers and horses were cut and transferred to Nanjing, controlled by Ma Shiying, there are less than 4,000 people left around the general, how to rescue, and the last general also wrote a letter half a month ago to request the transfer of troops and horses to the enemy, but there is no news." ”

"It's me who misunderstood you, the state affairs are controlled by traitors, you have no way to serve the country, and you are helpless, I am here this time with King Qin, and you lead all the soldiers to Nanjing with me."

"The last general obeys!" Fang Guoan also received the order.

The army continued to move eastward, and when it had not yet reached the boundary of Yingtianfu, it encountered Zhang Shenyan, who had fled westward.

"Nanjing has been lost, five days ago, the emperor was held hostage by Ma Shiying and fled south, we all did not know, knowing that the next day only found out about it, and then the Qing army came to the city, some courtiers recommended Zhao Zhilong to lead the troops to fight, stick to Nanjing, but I didn't expect him to surrender without a fight, as well as Qian Qianyi, Liu Liangzuo, Tang Guozuo and others, they took the initiative to shave their hair and surrender to the Qing, they were powerless, it was worth fleeing west, ready to go to Huixuan to organize volunteers to resist the Qing! I don't want to meet the general here. ”

"Damn!" Although Cao Bianjiao knew that these people were spineless, when he knew, he couldn't help but be angry, perhaps because of the national plot in his heart.

"General, at present, the Qing army is divided into troops to attack all parts of Yingtian, and the Qing army in Yingtianfu is only thirty or forty thousand, so send troops quickly!"

Cao Bianjiao nodded, got up and said: "Summons the generals, Nanjing has been lost, immediately lead the army east, recover Nanjing, drive away the Manchu Tartars, and King Qin will protect you!" ”

Cao Bianjiao moved seriously, suddenly all the ships were marching quickly, marching in the direction of Nanjing, the time Li Yan said had come, Cao Bianjiao had no scruples, and then did not enter the army, and when the Qing army stabilized the situation, it was really not easy to do something, and now the Qing army took Nanjing in one fell swoop, divided the troops to occupy various places, the troops were scattered, and the situation in Nanjing was undecided, Cao Bianjiao could do it by surprise.

Nanjing, the mansion of Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Duoduo set up a banquet here, entertaining those who surrendered, Tang Guozuo is the descendant of Tang He, the ancestors are heroic, the descendants of the straw bales, in the Ming Dynasty is not uncommon, the decline of the Ming Dynasty These people are also duty-bound, they take the court's money, do not do personnel, occupy the people's land, monopolize business profits, and do all the work of sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty.

"Since the battle of Shanhaiguan, my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry is invincible, although the will of heaven, but also thanks to the help of those of you who know the time and know the destiny of heaven, come, this king respects you!" Duoduo picked up his glass and signaled to everyone, in fact, in his heart, he despised these people very much, but he also understood that when the situation was unstable, these people were still of great use, and he needed them, if it was ordinary, it would be for him to be a slave, and he would think these people were cheap.

"Prince Yu is serious, we can serve the Qing Dynasty, it is really our honor, the Ming Dynasty has exhausted the number, the Qing Dynasty has replaced it, this is the will of heaven, how can manpower be reversed, we are just doing righteous deeds along with the sky!" Zhao Zhilong, who was more than a hand, hurriedly stood up with a smile on his face, saying that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, full of pride, but it made people's teeth cold.

"Exactly! Precisely! Qian Qianyi was not to be left behind, got up and said: "The unification of the world by the Qing Dynasty is a good response to the people, and it is really an honor for us to be able to do our best to unify the world in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"The Qing Dynasty will unify the world just around the corner, and Jiangnan will be determined by its own transmission, and whoever dares to go against the general trend and make trouble is asking for a dead end!"

"I am here to congratulate Prince Yu, the horse has been successful, and the ...... of Dingjiang is fixed"

The flattery and flattery suddenly resounded in the hall, and the people present were still Ming officials who boasted of loyalty and righteousness a few days ago, but so their identities were changed, and they became the loyal and good of the Qing Dynasty, in order to promote the heroes of the general trend, one by one Tian shamelessly said, extremely sycophant, without shame, forgetting the way of Confucius and Mencius that they had been familiar with, forgetting the thoughts of loyalty to the country, at this moment they only have one thing in their hearts, to be a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, to shed blood and sweat for the Qing Dynasty is also no regrets.

"You know the current affairs, is my Qing Dynasty's heroes, this king will be the court to ask for merit, today I will be here to celebrate, for you to ask for merit, not long after, the court has its own reward, and I need to serve my Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly in the future."

"That's natural, I'll wait for Prince Jingyu to have a cup!"

"Come and come, come and ......" are staggered, the warblers sing and swallow dance, and a peaceful and peaceful scene appears here.

Dasheng Pass, the western barrier of Nanjing, after the fall of Nanjing, this place was received by the Manchu army, stationed in Dasheng Pass is the Qing army Gushan Ezhen Ma Laxi, Dasheng Pass originally had 3,000 defenders, plus Ma Laxi brought 1,000 eight banner soldiers, a total of 4,000 people.

But at this moment, Dashengguan was surrounded by regiments, and Ma Laxi was also a little caught off guard, he didn't expect that there would be such a huge Ming army suddenly killed, because when they were in Nanjing, all they heard was the news of the wind falling from all over the country, and the battle report of the collapse without a fight, so they didn't take the Nanming army seriously, this road was too smooth, so they were careless, and they were suddenly surrounded, and Ma Laxi was also at a loss.

"I am Cao Bianjiao, the general of the Ming Dynasty, the defenders of the city listen, all my Han brothers, Ming army soldiers, my 200,000 troops have come to conquer the Manchu alien race, you are all my Ming people, you can't follow the Manchu Tartars to rebel, immediately turn the gun, kill the Tartars, protect the family and defend the country......"

"It's the general, it's the general who is back...... "Many people have seen Cao Bianjiao, and when Cao Bianjiao appeared in front of the battle, many people shouted and looked very excited.

"Do you want to rebel, what are you doing, fire a cannon for me, ...... quickly" Ma Laxi scolded, seeing that the Ming army that had surrendered was shaken, and he was also pressing the formation with might at the moment.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars and welcome the general into the city!" The head of a thousand generals also burst into cheers at the moment, slashed a Qing soldier in front of him with a knife, and rushed towards the rest of the Qing army with a roar.

"Kill......" Many people followed one after another, of course, there were some people who were a little swaying, didn't know what to do, and stood there a little dazed.

"Siege the city, and don't let a man escape!" Cao Bianjiao was not surprised at all when he saw the changes that happened in the city, and he directly ordered the whole army to attack from all sides and attack the victory pass.
