Hurry, hurry, hurry, pack all this gold and silver for me, and don't keep anything at all, otherwise, I will punish you nine clans, and you, what are you doing standing here, waiting for death, why don't you hurry up and help, are you waiting to see those Manchu Tartars attack? “

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing, there was a panic at this time, and it should have been peaceful and solemn in the palace compound, but now it is a scene of the end of the world, whether it is a eunuch or a palace maid, they are running around in a hurry, and under the order of Zhu Youxiang, the Yongli Emperor who is wearing a dragon robe and looks like a mountain of meat, all the things that look precious are packed into huge wooden boxes.

No wonder he is so nervous, since Huang Degong died in battle, after the loss of Huainan City, the Manchu army rushed towards Nanjing, along the way, because of the restrictions on the terrain, so that the march was slow, but after half a month of marching, it also arrived outside Nanjing, fortunately, for all this, the cabinet chief assistant Ma Shiying had already foreseen, and in advance all the garrisons of the surrounding cities were summoned to Nanjing City, although these soldiers were mostly some incompetent rabble, But after all, it looks quite spectacular in terms of numbers.

In addition, there are still a few knowledgeable veterans in the city of Nanjing, so that he can barely hold the city of Nanjing, to ensure that he does not fall for the time being, but this is only an expedient measure, in the face of the powerful Manchu army, if there are no reinforcements or other unexpected circumstances, then the fall of Nanjing City is only a matter of time.

"Your Majesty, let's get out of here quickly, otherwise, if the Manchu army attacks in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave if we really want to, these things outside the body should be discarded as soon as possible, and when the king goes on a northern expedition in the future, these things will still be His Majesty's sooner or later." When Ma Shiying hurriedly came to the palace, when he saw such a scene, he was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Originally, in Ma Shiying's mind, the Yongli Emperor in front of him, although the appearance is unsatisfactory, can be talked about in terms of strategy, means, it is still good, but with this period of contact, he has more and more contempt for this emperor in his heart, whether it is from the means of governance, or the way of doing things, not to mention useless, it is also completely incompetent, although it is precisely for this reason that Ma Shiying can be in the Yongli court, one person under ten thousand people, swaying freely, without scruples, But when it came to the real crisis, Ma Shiying still regretted it in her heart.

But even if he regrets it, there is no way back at this time, he can only follow Zhu Youxiang wholeheartedly now, otherwise, not only will he lose all his reputation and status, but he may even be killed.

Hearing Ma Shiying's words, Zhu Youxiang, the Yongli Emperor who was originally urging the palace maids and eunuchs to pack all the valuable things, suddenly stared at him with angry eyes, and said loudly, "Ma Aiqing, what are you talking about, you know, these things are the capital that I will rely on in the future, without these gold, silver and jewelry, after we leave Nanjing City, how will we live, do we go everywhere to beg for food?" ”

After Zhu Youxiang finished speaking, he continued to urge the palace maids and eunuchs around him to speed up, in fact, this is not an accident, you know, Zhu Youxiang's father, the previous generation of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun, is also so sacrificing his life and money, when Li Zicheng's army pressed the border and surrounded Luoyang City, he was also angry because of the five taels of silver per person for the soldiers guarding the city, and opened the city gate, so that Li Zicheng boiled him and made it. Fu Lu soup', and then, he worked hard, and even gave up his life to keep all the silver treasures into the hands of the Dashun army, and now Zhu Youxiang is doing this, and it is only a family inheritance.

After hearing Zhu Youxiang's words, Ma Shiying still persuaded hard, "Your Majesty, these things are enough, if there are more, we can't take them away, let's go first, you know, if you wait for a while, after the Manchu Tartars also close the river, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to really want to go, compared to Your Majesty's dragon body, these things are nothing at all." ”

After hearing Ma Shiying's words this time, Zhu Youxiang didn't say anything, because at this time he also heard the shouting and killing sound from the city gate getting louder and louder, between life and jewelry, Zhu Youxiang was still a little stronger than his father, and he could only look at those precious treasures with a painful face, and at the same time, with the support of the eunuch, he walked towards the river.

I have to say that to be able to start from scratch, so as to drive out the Tartars, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is still very far-sighted, in addition to the city gate of Nanjing, there is also a waterway, this waterway is Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Nanjing, specially ordered craftsmen to build, one reason is because Nanjing is in the south of the Yangtze River, the river is longitudinal and horizontal, and close to the sea, with the existence of this river, the water in the palace can be smoothly discharged, so as to ensure that the palace will not be deformed and collapsed due to the erosion of the river, Another reason is to flee for his life, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just occupied Nanjing, was still relatively weak compared to other forces, otherwise there would not be the strategy of 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king' as Liu Ji said.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Nanjing, he quickly became powerful, conquered the south and the north, and actually dominated the world in just over ten years, and this river was useless, but now, more than 200 years later, this has become a guarantee for Zhu Youxiang's life.

Sitting on the beautiful building boat, Zhu Youxiang looked farther and farther away from the palace, and finally showed a look of loss on his face, he couldn't have imagined that he had worked hard to sit on the emperor's throne, and he would have to flee for his life in such a short time, if he knew that this was the result, he might as well go to Shaanxi, be a peaceful prince in peace, and it would be better than today's end, thinking that today he was going to run everywhere, and he fled in embarrassment, Zhu Youxiang's eyes were dim.

"Ma Aiqing, where are we going now, now the fall of Nanjing is already a doomed end, and after occupying Nanjing, those Manchu Tartars will definitely not give up, we are afraid that we will not be able to escape today, and we will not be able to hide in the future, will we just keep fleeing?" Under the gloom of his heart, Zhu Youxiang asked Ma Shiying.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, although the city of Nanjing is about to fall, but that is only a temporary gain or loss, we will definitely come back in the future, as for the problem of the Manchu army going south, Your Majesty do not have to worry, the south knows that it is different from the north, the land here is narrow, the waterways are cross-current, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is useless here with rampant iron horses, so as long as we settle down in the south, we can call on the loyal and brave people of the world to come to King Qin, and when the time comes, take advantage of the geography, We will be able to easily block the Manchu army. Hearing Zhu Youxiang's question, Ma Shiying spoke.

After listening to Ma Shiying's words, Zhu Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly calmed down, as long as he knew that he could survive, Zhu Youxiang no longer thought about anything else, after all, at this time, it was not easy to survive.

"Hahaha, hahaha, Nanjing City, Nanjing City, this is the Nanjing City of the Ming Dynasty, now he is finally going to belong to the king, I heard that Nanjing City is one of the most famous cities in the Central Plains, and it is also one of the richest cities in the world, as long as this city is taken, even if I have half of the Ming Dynasty, and, from now on, I will no longer have to worry about the problem of food, and, with this merit, this king can also become a person above 10,000 people under the Qing Dynasty." Standing at the foot of Nanjing, looking at the crumbling city gate, Azig couldn't help but say excitedly, and even a little incoherent.

For the city of Nanjing, the Manchus know very well, and have been coveting for a long time, you know, in the minds of the Manchus, if the city of Beijing represents the center of the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains, then the city of Nanjing represents the money bag of the Ming court, in the minds of the Manchu people, that is a magnificent, innumerable treasures, gold, silver and jewelry everywhere.

In fact, this can not be blamed for the Manchu people to think so, Nanjing City was originally in the south of the Yangtze River rich land, and, because of his special status, caused him to be second only to Beijing in politics, more importantly, with the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty customs gradually opened, all kinds of treasures from the West also slowly entered the Ming Dynasty, and the place where these things are most concentrated is Nanjing City, which led to Nanjing City becoming the economic center of the Ming Dynasty, just like the sea city in later generations.

Hearing Azig's words, the people next to him had their own feelings, the Manchus and those traitors who really surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very surprised, after all, after taking Nanjing City, it means that the strength of the Manchu court has become stronger, so the chance of dominating the world in the future will be even greater, and people like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui have their own feelings.

Hong Chengchou is lamenting the impermanence of the world, when the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty here, but today, with the loss of this city, it indicates that the once glorious Ming Dynasty has come to a complete end, as for the Hongguang Court in Shaanxi, in Hong Chengchou's mind, it is simply a place to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, although it is still a descendant of the Zhu family in name, but it is just a formality.

For Wu Sangui, he lamented that he was born at the wrong time, if he was not in Shanhaiguan, where he was back, but in this rich city of Nanjing, maybe now he would have been able to sit down and have a bigger career than Shaanxi.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the fall of Nanjing City had become a doomed thing, and they saw that after a shocking impact, the heavy city gate finally fell unwillingly, and at the same time, accompanied by a shocking cheer, groups of Qing soldiers rushed towards the city excitedly.

"Hahahaha, happy, really happy, come, give the order, let the brothers be happy for three days, and within three days, have fun as you like." The moment he saw the city gate falling, Azig suddenly shouted excitedly.

Hearing Azig's words, Hong Chengchou and the others on the side suddenly changed color on their faces, they knew what Azig meant very well, happy for three days, that is, within these three days, so the army could act at will in the city of Nanjing, killing, setting fire, robbing, although the Manchurians would generally use this trick to deal with those stubbornly resisting cities, but Nanjing City is different, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not as important as Beijing City, but this is the most important place in the south, If Azig dares to indulge in his troops here today, then the fate of the Manchu Qing in the future in the land south of the Yangtze River is predictable, that is, there will be resistance everywhere, and there will be resistance in the city, so that the strategic goal of successfully taking Jiangnan will be a complete failure.

Of course, for Hong Chengchou, the more miserable the Manchu Qing is, the happier he is, but he can't turn a blind eye to all this, you know, Shi Lei has sent orders several times, asking him to try his best to dissuade the Manchu army, and not to wantonly kill the people, so even if Hong Chengchou is no longer willing, he has to do it.

"Lord, no, this matter must not be, now that my Qing army has just entered the land south of the Yangtze River, if we just occupy the city of Nanjing and act arbitrarily, I am afraid that we will face a thousand difficulties in the future, therefore, please also ask the prince to raise his noble hand and restrain the troops." Hong Chengchou said to Azig.

"Why, Lord Hong, isn't it a little unbearable, you have to know, these people are resisting the arrival of my Qing Heavenly Army these days, how many Qing warriors I let die in their hands, now, since Nanjing City has been captured, this king just makes his soldiers happy, why not." Azig looked at Hong Chengchou and said with some disdain.

Hearing the sarcasm in Azig's words, Hong Chengchou was furious in his heart, and said, "Lord, when you go south, the regent has personally explained, everything must be based on the interests of the Qing Dynasty, if you let the regent know that the prince is willing to act arbitrarily for the sake of being happy for a while, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to explain to the regent and the court at that time!" Although Hong Chengchou's words were said gently, the meaning of his words made Azig's face suddenly change color.

Although Azig couldn't wait to cut Hong Chengchou with a knife, he also knew that Hong Chengchou was not something he could easily move, and more importantly, this time he was rude in front of him, so after he snorted coldly at Hong Chengchou, he said to the people around him, "Pass the order, let them all be careful with this king, if anyone kills, this king will definitely cut him personally." ”

After finishing speaking, Azig clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse towards the city of Nanjing.
