No. 091 Imperial Expedition (Revised Version)
Soon after, a dozen or so horsemen rushed out of the left army's formation, and came to the eastern city, and they could get off the horse after being an arrow away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the guards of the left army held the rattan plaque and covered the four directions of Zuo Liangyu's front, back, left and right, Zuo Liangyu shook his hand at Zhu Dadian at the head of the city and said, "Zhu Gong, long time no see!" ”
"Ning Nanhou, don't come unharmed!"
Zhu Dadian also bowed his hand to Zuo Liangyu, happy to spend time with him.
"Does Duke Zhu know about the prince from the south?"
"The Governor knows a little about this, how?"
Zuo Liangyu said: "In the case of the prince, everyone rumored that Jiguo Gong (Wu Sangui) sent the prince to the Shi Cabinet Department, and the Cabinet Department transferred it to Xingshan Temple. The emperor sent Han and Lu's second husband to recognize it, and kowtowed when he saw it, while Ma Shiying thought it was fake. Some people said that Fang Gong, the speaker of the old East Palace, sighed, and offended him and went to prison...... "After that, he cried loudly.
Zhu Dadian refuted when he heard this: "What Ning Nanhou said is really nothing, and he is hearsay!" Ma Ge Lao and his ministers looked at it, not alone. As for Fang Gong's self-recall, he didn't offend with a sigh! ”
"It is rumored that the prince is treated poorly, resulting in the prince being imprisoned and being axed, unbearable, so there is a secret edict down, wanting to edict Liangyu to enter Beijing to escort, Qingjun side, except for traitorous ministers, Liangyu can't bear the orphans of the first emperor, so he has no choice but to raise troops and want to serve the prince Qingjun side!"
Zhu Dadian said: "If the rumors are wrong, it must be the villain who provokes it!" Today, he has not treated the prince lightly, and has ordered Yousi to serve Ouchi with the title of prince. The old virtues of the first emperor cannot be forgotten, and the new grace of the present cannot be negative. The so-called secret oracle is just a villain's fabrication, grandstanding, Ning Nanhou is now doing it in a proverbial manner, this is the enmity of the country! ”
Zuo Liangyu retorted: "There are many traitors in the southern capital, You Shan is good at framing him, and he is beaten into a trick, and the secret edict may not be fake."
Liangyu should respond to the people, enter the Beijing Qing Dynasty, remove the traitorous ministers, save the prince, as the saying goes, 'those who know the times are handsome', Zhu Gong resisted hundreds of thousands of righteous teachers in a city, but it was a mantis arm as a car, if you abandon the weapon and open the city, you must turn the disaster into a blessing, and Liangyu together to build a very meritorious cause is not beautiful!
If you are obsessed and do not come to your senses, you will anoint the wilderness with your body and blood, and no one in the world will know about it! ”
Zhu Dadian saw that Zuo Liangyu had finally taken off his disguise, and smiled contemptuously: "Ningnanhou is deeply favored by the country, but he can't be loyal to his own dynasty, he is a villain eagle dog, and he rebels in the name of the Qing monarch, and people despise him, how can he still bully me and other dignified husbands with the words of Junjie and current affairs?" ”
Zuo Liangyu's face frowned when he heard this, and he decided not to entangle with Zhu Dadian anymore, and let him continue to talk, his own military spirit was about to be shaken, it was really impossible to steal chickens and rice!
When he wanted to return to the position, suddenly a feathered arrow flew from the city, like light and lightning, carrying a thousand powers, 'Bang! He shot at the rattan card of the guard in front of him, and the guard couldn't resist the strength, and retreated again and again, and finally sat down on the ground, and the shield array was immediately broken, exposing Zuo Liangyu inside.
As soon as the guard on his side filled the gap, the second arrow, which was as fast as lightning, arrived, and with a 'whoosh', the guard passed through the throat, and the guard screamed and fell to the ground and died.
Before the other guards could react, the third arrow arrived. There was a 'whoosh' and one of them was shot through the leg and let out a terrifying howl.
Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu's complexion changed greatly, and he no longer dared to stay where he was, and under the escort of the remaining guards, he turned around and got on the horse, turned around and ran.
Seeing their embarrassment in a panic, the Ming troops at the head of the city laughed in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted.
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yan Yingyuan quietly withdrew the iron tire bow and sighed: "It's a pity, let that shameless dog thief escape, if Han Vice Rong is here, he will definitely be able to destroy this dynasty with one arrow." ”
After Zuo Liangyu fled back to the Chinese position in embarrassment, he was very angry, so he pulled out his waist knife and brazenly ordered the siege of the city......
Yingtianfu Nanjing.
After some urgent dispatch of troops, the food, grass, weapons, armor, etc. required for the pro-conscription army were all prepared.
Before the expedition, a grand military parade was held in the Nanjing University Yard, only to see Zhu Youhua wearing military uniforms, riding a war horse, and reviewing the army under the escort of the imperial camp pro-army, the forbidden troops saw that the Son of Heaven personally supervised the battle, and their morale was immediately boosted, and the sound of "long live" was endless, one after another.
"Full of vigor and little twilight, morale is available, morale is available!" Ma Shiying stood behind the emperor and stroked his beard frequently, and the worry in his heart suddenly became a little less.
On November 26, the 17th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, when the Battle of Jiujiang broke out, Zhu Youhua also swore in Nanjing and drove the expedition in person.
On this expedition, the emperor brought the Gongsheng Battalion, the Zhongwu Zhenjia Battalion and the Yangtze River Naval Division, a total of 20,000 descendants, thousands of ships, hundreds of artillery, and 20,000 cavalry of the Jingnan Marquis Huang Degong Department to listen to the survey in Anqing Houzhi, and the remaining 20,000 imperial battalion land divisions and Jingying soldiers and horses were not brought, as a force to stabilize the southern capital, and to suppress possible riots at any time.
After the parade, the 20,000-strong army descended the mountain like a fierce tiger and drove to the quarry rock pier amid the deafening drums.
Thousands of miles of clear sky, dazzling sunlight shining on the Yangtze River, reflecting the dazzling light, Zhu Youhua top armor, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Zhang Tanggong, Han Cheng and other generals, stood on the deck of the imperial ship, and waved goodbye to the hundred officials gathered on the dock.
With an order, thousands of ships of all sizes moored at the quarry wharf put away their cable anchors, spread their sails, and slowly left the mooring place under the strong wind.
The imperial ship that Zhu Youhua took was a vermilion lacquer decorated 800 material ship, about 178 zhang long, the tail tower had three layers, a tiger head was painted above the bow well, an eight-pound Hongyi cannon was installed on the platform, and there were four Hongyi cannons on both sides of the ship's side, and the ship traveled quickly and steadily, not afraid of wind and waves. After setting sail, Zhu Youhua's interest was undiminished, Zhenyi boarded the ship's building, and looked at the fleet behind him and the 20,000 fully armored troops on board.
The gust of east wind blows the square tooth flag of the word 'Ming' hanging high on the mast, the sails are full, and thousands of large and small river boats are arranged in several rows in an orderly manner, covering the river and the sun, and the scene is a grand spectacle.
After bidding farewell to the emperor in Quarshiji, many left-behind officials took off their disguised smiling faces, and their hearts were mixed.
One is a fledgling young man with no battlefield experience, and the other is a battlefield veteran who has fought hard battles with Li Chuang and Tatar for decades.
No matter how you look at it, the emperor loses big!
With 20,000 new troops, it is not necessary to defend the city, and they still want to go out of the city to fight, isn't this self-defeating?
As for whether the pro-conquest army could defeat Zuo Liangyu's rebels, the officials left behind in Nanjing at this moment had little hope.
I'm afraid that there will be a change of dynasty in the near future.
Seeing that the change of the civil fort is about to be repeated.
Some people are really happy and some are worried.
