A while ago, the ghost widow disappeared after the killing of Taiping Mansion in Anhui Province, and then came to the military to report that it was Jiangning, a hundred miles south of Nanjing, and the three hundred defenders and two generals were all wiped out.

Nanjing's throat was easily breached, and the whole city was shocked. Yang Yi closed the door and handed over all the things of the enemy to Shangshu Zhang Shiche, and the yamen of the elderly instantly overturned the pot, just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly remembered that there was also a Yang Changfan from Zhejiang to support, but they couldn't find him.

What followed was the furious scolding.

This grandson must be afraid of bloodshed on the front line, so he found a way to station in the rear, and seeing that the rear was not safe, he slipped away as soon as possible, no wonder he had to sit in the military department and read a military newspaper, and the co-authoring was to be the first to escape! Yang Changfan is a guest general after all, and he escaped, and the local man Ma Ke said that he could not escape, first of all, Nanjing is very important, and secondly, there are only more than 40 Japanese invaders, and Nanjing can fight a total of nearly 10,000 people, which is intolerable to escape again.

I don't have time to pay attention to Yang Changfan, the ghost can reach the city of Nanjing in one day at the earliest, I want to arrange it, arrange it quickly.

In the process, a number of opinions were made.

There are a large number of people who think that the ghosts will still not come to Nanjing, because Nanjing's troops are 200 times their strength, and even if they take Nanjing, they will not be able to hold it, and there is no reason to come.

Some people think that they will come, and we will not be able to ensure the safety of Nanjing.

Some people think that they should take the initiative and drown them with a sea of people.

Some people think they should call for help.

Some people think it's a shame to ask for help.

Some people believe that the common people should be mobilized.

Some people think......

While they were still arguing, the ghost had silently come to the city.

Xu Hai was still wearing the black robe, but there were a lot of holes on it. The expressions of the 42 Wako behind him were complicated. Before that. Even they didn't believe they could be here. In the past two months, except for the city of Shaoxing, they are almost gods, with one enemy ten, one enemy hundred, the pursuit has never stopped, and the ghosts under the knife are more than the people they know.

Daming, it's really too easy to ravage. If it weren't for these tall and thick walls, the Forbidden City would have been slaughtered for you.

What was originally a ridiculous move and a hopeless goal suddenly became realistic, as realistic as the city of Nanjing in front of him.

The ghosts have no doubt about themselves, because they are already standing under the city of Nanjing.

In the face of such facts, the Nanjing side finally reached a unified opinion, and Zhang Shiche ordered to close the door and not go out, and to guard the thirteen gates. Going out of town to fight doesn't necessarily win. If you don't open the city gate, you won't lose, after all, this is Nanjing and not just a small county. The soldiers and horses of the whole southeast will come to the rescue. All the officers and soldiers of Nanjing, the government and the common people went to the city to guard the gates, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

Xu Hai once again used a tried and tested method, personally went out of the horse, put the head of the Jiangning defender on the tip of the knife, galloped to the front of Ande Gate, and shouted: "100,000 defenders of Nanjing City!" Won't any of them dare to fight me?!! ”

The head of the city, silent.

The officers and soldiers and the people saw dozens of people scattering outside the city, but none of them had the courage to face the battle. In the past two months, the legend of the ghost has become more and more terrifying, the hundreds of unjust souls in Shaoxing have not yet dispersed, Nanjing is all old and young, Yu Dayou is in Hangzhou, Qi Jiguang is still chasing the army in Anhui, and Tang Shunzhi, the spiritual pillar, happened to go south a day ago.

In Nanjing at the moment, no one has the courage to pick this head. All that can be relied on is the wealth left by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, which is perhaps the strongest city wall in the world.

Dozens of ghosts didn't even dare to say a word when they saw the city, and laughed wildly, and the swear words and insults they learned along the way spurted out.

Zhang Shiche, the 55-year-old secretary of the military department, suddenly stood at the head of the city, and he knew that at this moment, the Ming Dynasty had lost. He is too old, he has seen too much, and he has long lost the sharpness of youth. Now that you have lost, the rest is not important, and you can't take a single risk to keep Nanjing.

Yang Yi, who is older than him, doesn't even have the courage to go to the city, as the highest-ranking military general in the southeast, he is silently writing something in the governor's palace, I don't know if it is a suicide note or a resignation.

Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial State!

Such a place was really besieged by 42 Japanese pirates.

Hangzhou Siya, Tang Shunzhi's southern tour, Hu Zongxian pulled Xu Wenchang to meet in person.

Hu Zongxian, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, knows very well who cannot be provoked and who does not need to be provoked, Tang Shunzhi is the person who cannot be provoked and does not need to be provoked. He is too old to hold an important position, has no conflict of interest with himself, believes in learning to do good and eliminate evil, and is an expert in doing things, and at the same time is a school leader with many connections, so that people who are both capable and honest and do good deeds are the most urgently needed manpower now.

No mercy on political opponents, no matter how good you are; grovel to talents, no matter what kind of madman you are, this is Hu Zongxian.

When the three of them met, they sat down politely, Hu Zongxian talked eloquently, but Xu Wenchang couldn't give up.

Tang Shunzhi had insight early on, and he could figure out what the two of them were thinking. Hu Zongxian tried his best to win himself over to do things for him, in fact, it was meaningless, if the southeast really needed him, he would do it, whether you were Hu Zongxian, Zhao Wenhua or Zhang Jing.

Xu Wenchang must be thinking about Nanjing, thinking about Yang Changfan, this is still his old problem, his heart is too narrow, when he looks at the general trend, his vision is higher than anyone else, and he sees farther than anyone else, but once he sees things related to himself and the people close to him, he will suffer from gains and losses like a woman, and he will be full of grievances.

Hu Zongxian is naturally also a human spirit, and immediately explored: "Brother Yingde is here, why doesn't Wen Chang like it?" ”

The sadness on Xu Wenchang's face still did not subside: "Hangzhou is happy, but Nanjing is worried." ”

"Hehehe." Tang Shunzhi chuckled and shook his head, "According to Wen Chang's meaning, I have been teaching Yang Changfan in Nanjing for a whole month, and Ruzhen has also invited me for a month. If you wait, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the Japanese Kou. ”

Xu Wenchang said anxiously: "After the Taiping Mansion was besieged, it was the time for the ghost to go all the way north. ”

Tang Shunzhi shook his head again: "Otherwise, dozens of hundreds of people dare to go to Nanjing, and it is fruitless to go, the ghost widow has been chased into a dead end by General Qi, and it is right to cross the river to the west." Moreover, I have already explained to Zhang Shiche that if the ghost widows really attack Nanjing, they can close the city and not come out, and the ghost widows will retreat within three days. ”

"But the shame of these three days ......," Xu Wenchang sighed, "I'm afraid that it won't be erased in a hundred years, or a thousand years." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled: "Isn't Senator Yang here? The great victory under the city of Shaoxing is still vivid! ”

"I'm afraid." Xu Wenchang's sorrow deepened, "The great victory in Shaoxing is to take the ghost and the widow off guard, and now the ghost and the widow have suffered a loss, and they must be prepared for another battle." Changfan did not fight a hard battle, Shaoxing's victory was just the right time, if he fought alone in Nanjing, the result was unpredictable. Before the teacher was in Nanjing, he still had some confidence, but now that the teacher is not there, I am afraid that Yang Yi and Zhang Shiche will not be able to do anything except close the city.
