Text Volume 11, Chapter 2, Section 2 Great turmoil in the city
Wang Duo and Tang Shiji got together to discuss all night, and early the next morning, they both walked out of the room with red eyes, and they were already in a state of excitement.
Tang Shiji left the palace first, and then hurried to several mansions in Nanjing City, apparently to contact other Donglin rebels. And Wang Duo returned to the room, muttered alone for a while, and then whispered to himself: "From today on, I will cheer up and go to the city to supervise the battle, and I must not let that Liu Yunwei easily enter Nanjing City, even if it is doomed to defeat, I will let Nanjing City turn into ruins, and let that Liu Yunwei have a bad record in history!" ”
After Wang Duo shook his head and muttered to himself, he stood up suddenly, strode out of the room, and said loudly to the people in the courtyard: "Gather all the family members immediately!" This official will go to the city to supervise the battle and meet the thief army! ”
When those subordinates heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all stunned, until Wang Duo shouted loudly again before they dispersed, and quickly went to gather the family members of the palace.
More than an hour later, Wang Duo changed into a bright green official uniform, led more than 20 family members to the streets majestically, and went straight to the east wall of Nanjing. Seeing this, the people in Nanjing along the way were all talking to each other, pointing at Wang Duo and his party, and the faces of those people were very disdainful.
You must know that Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and the Hanwei Army and the soldiers of the Dangkou Battalion have made great achievements, and they have never been defeated so far, and they have long been mythical in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all heroes who recreate the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, whether it is in the north or in the south of the Yangtze River, in the eyes of the people, anyone who is against the Zhenguo Gong, and all the troops who fight against the Hanwei army and the Dangkou camp, are all traitors of the Ming Dynasty and evil.
This is also the reason why the Donglin Party, which originally had a good reputation among the people, was abandoned by the people in a very short period of time.
"That's Wang Duo, Lord Wang? It looks like a complete villain! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! Who is Zhen Guogong? The great hero who destroyed the Manchu Tartars and went against Zhenguo Gong, isn't that Qin Hui of the dynasty? ”
"It's not just that Lord Wang, I heard that Tang Shiji and Lord Tang are also in contact, preparing to confront Zhenguo Gong!"
"Really? Wouldn't this Nanjing city be full of traitors! ”
All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were full of discussions, and the content of the people's discussions was surprisingly consistent, all of them stood on the side of Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and without exception thought that Wang Duo and Tang Shiji and the party were traitors today!
At this time, Wang Duo had already led twenty family members to the east city wall of Nanjing City, looking at the sparse soldiers on the city wall, and almost no stored city defense equipment, Wang Duo only felt that his heart was broken.
"Where are the guards! Someone, bring me the guards here! ”
Wang Duo roared loudly with anger, and the family members around him immediately looked around, and finally found the guard in a hidden soldier cave near the city gate, who was a hundred generals of the garrison camp of the east city wall of Nanjing.
Wang Duo glared at the general manager who was still unenergetic, and shouted loudly: "How did you defend the city!" A good fortified city will make you defend like this! If Liu Yunwei's traitor comes to kill at this time, how can you resist! Why is the morale of the army so low? ”
Wang Duo was still "righteous and awe-inspiring" loudly reprimanding, but who knew that the Bai Zong interrupted Wang Duo's roar and said confidently: "My lord! Now there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the entire city of Nanjing, and they belong to different generals, and the equipment to defend the city is even more lacking. ”
Wang Duo was immediately asked, but the more Mr. Bai spoke, the more angry he became, and he continued to shout loudly: "My lord! We are all ordinary defenders, and we are also the defenders of the Ming Mainland! I'm not afraid of adult jokes, there are hundreds of villains, and there are not even ten people who have really seen blood, but the adults are forcing us to fight against the invincible Zhenguo Gong and Hanwei Army who dominate the world and are invincible, we are sending us to death! ”
"Bastard! Come! This person confuses the army's heart, drags this person down for me, and cuts him down! ”
Wang Duo also learned from the generals in the army at this moment to prepare to kill people, and the twenty people behind him also roared and rushed up, but the hundreds of defenders on the city wall surrounded them angrily when they saw this, and they all drew their swords in their hands and surrounded Wang Duo and other twenty-one people.
The twenty family members were all frightened when they saw this, and they all retreated, not knowing what to do for a while.
Wang Duo was also stunned, his heart was beating violently in his chest, and his mind was also blank. Even if Wang Duo is firm-minded, he is also a civil official scholar, where has he ever seen such a scene, and he was frightened when he saw those fierce and vicious soldiers.
At this moment, Mr. Bai also regretted a little, because Tu was quick to talk for a while, and he actually put himself on the cusp. Even if this conflict is resolved, then Wang Duo will find an opportunity to kill himself!
Thinking of this, this Bai Zong made up his mind, rather than die in vain, or be used as cannon fodder and die under the knife of the Hanwei army, it is better to fight, kill Wang Duo now, and then unite some good generals to occupy the city gate around the east city wall of Nanjing, and after the Hanwei army arrives, he will welcome Zhenguo Gong and his Hanwei army into Nanjing City!
When Mr. Bai thought of this, his heart was relieved, as if he had found a way to survive for himself!
As for whether he can hold the area around the east city wall and finally hold on to the Hanwei army under the city, it is not something that this Bai always can expect, and it is true to solve the current crisis first!
"Brothers! These bastard civil officials let our brother wait here for death, how can he do what he wants! Let's kill this dog official and occupy the east city wall today! When the Zhenguo Gong led the army to arrive, we will sacrifice the city, so as to leave our lives and fight for wealth! ”
When the hundreds of soldiers around heard this, their morale was also boosted and their emotions were excited, and they all shouted and cursed loudly, and the swords and spears in the hands of all the soldiers were pointed at Wang Duo and the twenty family members around him without exception.
Wang Duo never dreamed that his grand ambition had not yet had time to be implemented, and before the city defense strategy discussed with Tang Shiji last night had time to be deployed, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers with evil intentions, and his life was in danger!
Wang Duo glared at the surrounding soldiers and roared loudly: "Bold! This official is an official of the imperial court, you bastards dare to make a rebellion and want to punish the nine clans! ”
The Bai Zong said with a hideous face: "As soon as the army of Zhenguo Gong arrives, I will lose my life, and I still care if you are some kind of bullshit court official?" Brothers! Want to live? Kill me! ”
The hundreds of soldiers around him were already surging with blood, and when they heard President Bai's order, they immediately rushed up, and all the blades in their hands swung towards Wang Duo and the twenty family members. All of a sudden, blood was flying and screaming on the east city wall, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Duo and his twenty family members became corpses on the ground, and blood spread everywhere along the lines on the city bricks, making the Bai Zong and his subordinates fall into excitement.
"Brothers! Take over the city! ”
"Kill!"
Tang Shiji, who was talking secretly at the home of a Zuodu imperial historian, suddenly saw one of his relatives running in in a panic, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and a cold sweat broke out in an instant, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong!" Why are you so panicked, there is really no decent rules! ”
The attendant wept and said loudly, "My lord! The defenders of the east city wall all rebelled, and Wang Duo and Lord Wang, who were patrolling the east city wall, were also killed by the rebels! Now the rebels on the eastern city wall have rushed into the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses have been killed, and the city is in chaos! ”
After hearing this, Tang Shiji immediately panicked, and stood in place for a long time, until the Zuo Du Yushi next to him said righteously: "Lord Tang! What you just said will never be agreed with! Although this official is from the Donglin Party, he is innocent and stands with Zhenguo Gong! Please leave quickly, Lord Tang, you are not welcome in the official's house! ”
Tang Shiji looked at the Zuodu Yushi with an incredulous expression, how could he not think of why the two of them were still talking happily just now, but now they are turning against each other? At this time, Tang Shiji's mind was blank, and he couldn't react to anything.
"My lord! Tell me something! ”
Tang Shiji hesitated for a long time before he said, "Go back to the house quickly!" Send people to the military camps in the city to see if there are any more loyal people who are willing to protect their officials from the city for refuge! ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the Zuo Du Yushi next to him sneered, but even Tang Shiji's personal entourage was full of incredulity, and he stood next to him speechless for a long time.
A day later, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, who had already led the Hanwei army pacesetter battalion across the Yangtze River to Longtan, received an urgent report that civil strife had broken out in Nanjing, and the sound of fighting in the city could be clearly heard for miles away.
Liu Yunwei immediately ordered tens of thousands of soldiers in the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion to immediately pull out the camp and march towards Nanjing City.
At the same time, Liu Yunwei also sent an order to Lu Ying, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town, ordering Lu Ying to immediately lead the army to Nanjing City to quell the rebellion.
Chuzhou City.
Guo Yi and Huang Degong have preliminarily completed the transfer of more than 100,000 troops, and divided the 100,000 captives into more than 30 units, which are respectively placed in Chuzhou, Fengyang, Yangzhou, and other places, and dozens of prefectures and counties.
At this time, the heavy affairs in the hands of Guo Yi and Huang Degong came to an end, and the two stood at the head of Chuzhou City, looking at the direction of Nanjing City.
"I don't know if Zhen Guogong has successfully arrived in Nanjing now."
Guo Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, Zhen Guogong must have arrived in Nanjing City smoothly." How could Wang Duo and Tang Shiji's two jumping clowns be the opponents of Zhen Guogong? Look at it, the matter in Jiangnan is about to end. ”
