Chapter 113: Nanjing (1)
"Even so," Feng Kaizhang muttered, "I don't quite understand what His Highness means, and forcibly recruit the elite into the sixth rate, and do not appease the generals, in this way, can the army's heart be stable?" β
"Don't worry!" Zhu Cihong smiled slightly and said, "Leave it alone!" β
Turning around, Zhu Cihong said to Gong Xiaozu, who had been standing silently behind him: "Messenger to the north, it is advisable to leave early." β
"Yes!"
In the night, this young man, who had always been like a shadow and did not have a strong sense of existence, bowed down, and then stood tall and jade, still following Zhu Cihong honestly.
On the other side, there are Liu Zhaohui and other guards around the ring, this marquis is like the head of Zhu Cihong's guards at this time, even if Wei Yue and others are on his side, he still looks around with vigilant eyes.
Suddenly, Zhu Cihong yawned, and said softly tiredly: "Prepare to go back to Nanjing...... What needs to be done must be done quickly...... Time is running out! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦ On April 23 of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the official road in Nanjing to Zhenjiang was still ten miles away from the city gate.
From red to green, from cabinet bosses to miscellaneous officials, there are hundreds of officials wearing black gauze hats alone, plus thousands of people's long-term followers! Everyone brought cigarette pouches, warm tea towels, snacks, clothes and bags, and they always stood aside and waited, the adults and old men chatted, and the messengers were not idle, but what they talked about was just a topic: the prince is coming!
This young master has become a legend.
The Beijing Gate has changed, the crown prince who grew up in the deep palace actually gathered a group of military attachΓ©s, killed seven in and seven out, and everyone was like a blood gourd, and snatched out the emperor who was ready to die again!
That's it, it's another fight all the way, defeating strong enemies in a row, and finally hitting Tianjin and Shanghai, which can be regarded as a safe escape.
And that's not all!
Hit Shandong and go ashore, stealth in micro-service, look at the geography of the people along the way, prepare for the future fight, and find out Liu Zeqing's bezoar dog treasure in Huai'an, and suddenly cut off the head of this domineering town marshal, and then slashed and killed, even the general with small soldiers, hundreds of heads down, and immediately stabilized the situation in Huai'an, tens of thousands of troops, so in the hands of the prince!
Since the establishment of the foundation of the dynasty, the two ancestors do not mention it, among the sects, except for the foolish Emperor Wuzong, who else can be compared with this prince and young master?
At least, in this martial arts, I'm afraid no one can compare...... At least, in the mouths of the people who are looking around, it is almost the same meaning.
"I heard that the prince can hold a three-stone strong bow, make a lance left and right, and take the head of the general from the army, if you look into the bag to take things!"
"You've been reading too many storytellings, haven't you? The young master is brave and skillful, but as a prince, can he do the things of a pioneer general? That's Hu Dahai, often spring! The young master's family just sat firmly in the Chinese army, and his own general took the head for him. β
"That's right, the master is good at employing people. I heard that there is a person surnamed Wei, who uses a knife with both hands and does not splash water, and our family has relatives in Huai'an City, saying that he brought hundreds of people and killed rivers of blood in the city, and Liu Zeqing was captured by this Wei general! β
"There is also a person surnamed Wang, born with divine powers! I heard that he used a big axe to cut people, and he started by splitting it in half......"
"They're all brave generals, all brave generals."
"It's strange that the Dao master is so powerful, and there is Wuqu Xingjun by his side. In this way, I can still be ZTE! β
"Now it is said that Li Zicheng is a Huangchao-like character, Ping Xibo has already raised the flag in Shanhaiguan, I heard that this guy is going to attack the gate, I see, he is going to suffer."
Most of the arguments are not to the point, but when Li Zicheng is mentioned, because Zhu Cihong intends to release the news, it is very well-founded.
As everyone said, Li Zicheng has been unlucky, and the Dashun he founded has not allowed him to sit firmly in Yanjing, and he has already fought a big defeat in Shanhaiguan, resulting in the loss of the main force!
On the 21st day, Li Zicheng had indeed fought with Wu Sangui and Gao Di in Shanhaiguan.
In order to completely annihilate the Guanqin army, when the battle began on the 21st, Li Zicheng placed the main force in the west of Shihe, and sent troops to attack Dongluo City, Xiluo City, and North Wing City.
The Guanning army was the strongest soldier in the Ming Dynasty in 20 years, and had an annual salary of 3 million, but under the strong onslaught of the Shun army, by the morning of the 22nd, the Wu army was already overwhelmed.
It is fair to say that Li Zicheng made several major mistakes in Wu Sangui's affairs, but after fighting with Wu Sangui, many years of fighting in the army, and the elite of more than 60,000 people around him are indeed not comparable to Wu Sangui and his subordinates, and by noon on the 22nd, Wu Sangui's Guanning army had already announced that it was not supported, and the northern wing city had surrendered, and at most it would not last at night, and the entire Guancheng would fall.
You must know that Wu Sangui originally had a main force of more than 30,000 people, plus the small 20,000 strong men who were forcibly pulled by Ning Yuan when he abandoned him, and the Wu army at this time should have about 50,000. Coupled with Gaodi's troops, they were not much weaker than the Shun army in terms of numbers alone.
And the Guanning army was smashed out of silver by the Ming Dynasty, the armor and weapons were the strongest in the country, and the Guanning soldiers were also known as the strongest in the sea, but under the onslaught of the Shun army day and night, it was two days of hard work, and they were still invincible.
At this time, the Shun army that fought in Shanhaiguan is indeed still worthy of being a strong army that has the opportunity to win the world, and it is the elite of the elite of the embers of a hundred battles that Li Zicheng turned to fight and won the world!
However, Wu Sangui saw that he could not resist the enemy, so he immediately galloped out with the official gentry in the city, rushed to Weiyuantai, which was less than ten miles away from Guanzhong, and knocked on Dolgon.
After a few days of envoys returning to each other, there was no need to say much about each other's hearts, and Dolgon even said to Li Zicheng: "You are loyal to the old master, and your loyalty is commendable, and you have come to fulfill the current army." In the past, it was an enemy country, but now it is a family, and if our army enters the customs, if it touches a piece of grass and a grain, it will be executed by military law. Thou wilt tell the army and the people of all sizes not to panic! β
Then he instructed Wu Sangui: "If you return, you can order the soldiers to tie their shoulders with white cloth, otherwise, how can they distinguish between the same Han people, I am afraid that it will be a manslaughter." β
Then Wu Sangui returned to the pass to prepare, the gate was wide open, and the Qing army entered the pass by three routes: the South Water Gate, the North Water Gate, and the Guanzhong Gate.
After the Qing army entered the customs, saw that the Dashun army was lined up in a long snake formation from north to south, Dolgon ordered the Qing army to line up along the coastal area, and the Wu army was lined up on the right side of the Qing army. After the wind stopped for a while, the Shun army was already slightly confused, and under the order of Dolgon, the Qing army roared out, slamming wildly, ten thousand horses galloping, flying like locusts!
The Shun army suddenly encountered a strong enemy, and it was completely different from the Ming army, the combat effectiveness and combat experience were far beyond the Ming army's cavalry-based strong enemy, coupled with the unfavorable weather, and fought for a day and night, so although the desperate resistance, it didn't take long for the defeat to be decided!
Liu Zongmin was seriously injured, Li Zi was established on the high post, seeing that the defeat had been achieved, so he led the imperial camp to go first, to the twenty-third day, in fact, in North China this is related to the three hundred years of luck, and the Han luck is related, and the entire Chinese civilization is closely related to the most critical battle has been fought, and, not surprisingly, it is the foreign race of 100,000 iron horsemen under the guidance of the shameless Han Annihilation, calmly seize the Shanhaiguan along the way, the iron flow gallops, rolling down, since then, at least for a considerable period of time, the entire northern China, It's going to be under alien rule!
β¦β¦β¦β¦ The surrounding people were full of voices, but Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong was just patrolling back and forth with his hands behind his back, and his face was also iron-blue.
The inner garrison is his head and tail, and Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of Bo Liu, is very slippery, originally this guy had the intention of grabbing power, and it seems that he is also in collusion with Ma Shiying.
However, when the emperor appeared, this sincere uncle became a shrinking turtle, except for grasping the part of the Emperor of the Jiang River, supervising the transfer of water divisions every day, and patrolling the river defense along the coast, other things are to ignore everything.
This time it caught Zhao Zhilong on the shelf, the emperor came back for so long, in addition to admitting his mistake in Xiaoling, and issuing an edict for the crime, he handed over the affairs inside and outside Nanjing to him and Shi Kefa respectively, but he ignored everything, and only rested and fasted in the palace, worrying about self-cultivation.
It's okay like this, after a long time, Zhao Zhilong slowly put his mind at ease.
It seems that the emperor does not have the original large number of eunuchs around him, and he has not even brought out the inner eunuchs, only the little pacesetter of the Tianjin governor around him, and there are not even a few eunuchs who accompany him, not to mention the imperial city forbidden army and the cabinet of the six departments of the Great Nine Qing Hanlin to give a large set of auxiliary teams.
Now it seems that the emperor is also a little confused, and he doesn't know how to regain power?
In this way, of course, it is the opportunity for the original Nanjing bigwigs, Zhao Zhilong has already vaguely said hello to Shi Kefa a few times, and they are in harmony with each other, don't make trouble, hold the power in each other's hands tightly, don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of the loophole!
Although Shi Kefa is a nerd scholar, the colleagues of the Donglin Party around him are not stupid.
At this moment, Uncle Zhao holds the power of the Nanjing Forbidden Army to garrison and defend the country, and he has the power to seize life and death, even when the civil and military forces of the city come out to welcome the prince today, he does not stand on duty, but patrols everywhere to check the defense, what happened to the prince? This young master came to Nanjing, and we have to give him Lao Zhao to protect him!
............ "It's coming, it's coming!" β
Just after the end of the hour, the weather in Nanjing was already very hot in late April, and the adults and men came in a sedan chair, and they were also standing in a shady place, with towels and tea constantly, and the heat could not go anywhere. It's just that the officers and soldiers who stand on duty and the errand soldiers who maintain order, the whip is loud, and the voice is hoarse, and they barely maintain a decent situation on both sides of the official road. β
He put on the prestige of the earl, how can the people of Nanjing see a lot of grandfathers, besides, these Beijing soldiers are messing around on the streets all day long, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and they haven't done serious things a few times, the people of Nanjing, who looks at them again!
