Hearing this, the person in front of him suddenly stopped, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and the two parties stared at each other for a while, and only after a quarter of an hour did a smile come forward.

"Brother, what are you asking all this, be careful to set yourself on fire, this is the town guard Lord Liu watching the hard work of the big guy, so let's change the guard in advance."

"Can the dead eunuch be so kind?"

Before he got to the point, Mr. Bai scoffed and said:

"What kind of town guard Lord Liu, we don't call him that in the army, brother, it seems that you are not from Jingying, right?"

Although Mr. Bai asked this sentence, he obviously didn't think much about other places, spit yellow phlegm on the ground, and said with hatred:

"This eggless eunuch doesn't treat our brothers as human beings at all, even Lord Qian has to be respectful in front of him, and if he doesn't deal with it a little, it's a scolding, let alone us."

"Everything in this Nanjing city is good, but it is too prosperous, and the little money that the brothers have to drink on weekdays is gone, and they can't even afford to go to the Qinglou, so what are they talking about to support their families?"

After Mr. Bai finished speaking, the surrounding officers and soldiers were all indignant, saying that not only Eunuch Liu, but also Wei Guogong in the city, even if they were low-status businessmen, they could not afford to look down on their own grass-headed soldiers.

The group of people who came changed colors with each other, quietly stretched their hands behind their waists, and were about to make a move, but at this time, the first man shook his head at them, walked to the front by himself, and said with a smile:

"Dare to ask Mr. Bai's surname?"

Mr. Bai leaned on the city wall with his hands on his chest, and he couldn't understand what the other party meant, so he just said casually:

"There's no need to tell you your surname, everyone in the army calls me bald, so you can call me too!"

"Okay." The man nodded, and could understand that the other party was a little jealous, so he leaned into his ear and whispered something, and the bald man's eyes widened when he heard it.

"What you said is true?"

"It's true, after the deed is done, you will be seven and I will be three."

The bald man rubbed his hands back and forth, ran a few steps forward or so, and looked around, and found that there was no one, which was the gritted teeth:

"Yes, brethren, open the gates!"

"But... Mr. Bai, without the order of Mr. Qian, it is a capital crime to open the city without permission. Hearing this order, the officers and soldiers under the city were a little dumbfounded for the first time, and hesitated and did not open the city directly.

At this time, the bald man stepped forward and knocked him hard, and his voice was a little abrupt:

"Why are you asking so much, just open the city!"

Seeing the bald commander and soldiers pulling the gate hard, these people who came changed their eyes again, and suddenly rushed forward without warning, red knives in, white knives out, and it didn't take long for the officers and soldiers under the city to fall into one piece.

"Bald, what's wrong?"

Hearing the voice of the city, Mr. Qian couldn't care about going to the ink with this general, and immediately lay on the city wall and shouted, to find out what was going on.

But at this time, the general smiled fiercely, and suddenly a thin rope came out of his waist and strangled his neck from behind.

"You... uh..."

Mr. Qian struggled a few times and then didn't move, this general took off his helmet, it turned out to be a private man raised by Zhao Zhilong, Bo Zhao of Xincheng, and many people who came up with him immediately controlled the situation with swords.

Qian Zong and several Bai Zong were controlled, and after a few struggles, they were pushed down the city, and most of the officers and soldiers around them were slow to react, and they didn't think about drawing their knives after a while, but at that time they had been held down by someone.

In fact, it is said that the response is slow, and there are many sharp-eyed people who react very quickly and immediately understand what is happening, but they are not the first bird.

The general picked up the torch and shook it regularly a few times in the city, and when he saw a large piece of fire rising suddenly in the distance, he turned back and said loudly with confidence:

"The city gate has been opened, and the Shandong army is under the city, this is 200,000 Shandong soldiers! Why, do any of you want to go out and try if someone's blade is not sharp, and want to see if they can hit five at a time!? ”

"Stand up if you want to, or throw away all your weapons!"

Hearing this, several generals looked at each other and threw the knife and gun in their hands directly to the ground.

No matter what the civilian, military, and military generals and relatives in Nanjing City think, in the eyes of these lowest-level soldiers, for their own lives, this kind of battle that must be lost cannot be defeated.

Originally, they were worried that the other party would cause a big mess in the city and slaughter their wives and sons, but it was the Shandong army under the command of Anton Hou, so they didn't have this fear.

At present, the place where this army is stationed is only tending to be stable, and there is also the policy of agglomeration and cultivation that has spread everywhere and allowed the common people to return to their hometowns to farm, and many people have some expectations for this.

By the way, this army was extremely disciplined, and there was never any looting after entering the city, which was fundamentally different from those officers and soldiers of the left army.

Moreover, in the impression of these low-level people, the Shandong army is almost invincible.

Since it can quietly hit the city of Nanjing, it must have a strong strength, presumably Li Zicheng has been defeated at this time, and Jiangbei may also fall, maybe the Tartars have been defeated, otherwise how could it have developed to such a point.

In the final analysis, the morale of Nanjing City is not high.

The so-called rectification of Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is actually a symptom rather than a cure, and it seems that it is reasonable.

When Wang Zheng reorganized the Beijing camp, he found that even the most basic old and weak had not been eliminated, so you can imagine what the rectification presided over by Shi Kefa was like.

The Shandong army has been coming to the city for nearly a day and a night, and the strength shown is terrifying, and when the big families in the city are immersed in the illusion of prosperity, the soldiers who braved the death to guard the outer city have gradually dispersed.

The other party is the strongest army in the world, and there has never been any defeat in the rumors, and when you go to Liaodong, you can defeat the Tartars, you can expel the Japanese in Dengzhou, and you can defeat Li Zicheng who is in the middle of the day when you enter the Central Plains.

Obviously, such a strong army that does nothing to the people and is disciplined can give ordinary people the dawn of hope.

For many officers and soldiers of the city defense, constantly hearing how the Shandong army won a great victory, and experiencing the feeling of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it, is completely different.

Looking at the dozen or so black hole Shenwei general cannons not far away, six seven-pounder guns, countless heavy Francophone machines, the order-forbidden, uniform military formation, the generals armed to the teeth, and the cavalry that could even compete with the Manchus head-on.

All of this has made the morale of these soldiers drop to the extreme.

Facts have proved that this situation is not at all under the control of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and the situation may be different if there is Shi Kefa's cooperation.

Speaking of some luck, Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, and Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the household department, and other civil officials of the Donglin group, that is, a group of important ministers of the Southern Ming court in history, still believe in the peace of the world and are only interested in the interests of themselves and the party.

It is the same as Gao Jie's refusal to recognize his father after Gao Jie's death in Suizhou, Shi Kefa did not see the benefits of doing so, but due to various personal factors, he still trembled and threw away the last chance left by history to the Ming Dynasty and lost the best opportunity to defend Nanjing.

Soon after the south gate of the outer city was opened, the suburbs, which had been quiet as usual, suddenly appeared all over the mountains and fields, and the soldiers of the Shandong army took advantage of the night, like a sea tide, to rush into the city of Nanjing quickly and violently.

At the same time, more than a dozen gates in the outer city of Nanjing, such as the Fence Gate, Jiangdong Gate, Taming Elephant Gate, and Ande Gate, were opened one after another by officers and soldiers and people of insight, and Wang Zheng finally got his wish and walked into this giant city.

From the moment the city gate of Nanjing was opened, history turned away the timid Emperor Chongzhen and Shi Kefa and others, and took Wang Zheng, Li Zicheng, Dolgon and others into his arms.

For Wang Zheng, this is not only the opportunity to enter Jiangnan, but more importantly, since then, he finally has the capital to fight for the world.

Years of hard work have not been in vain.
