Chapter Twenty-Four: The Killer Feature

Jiangyin's disciples had already grabbed the white-clothed prisoner out of the hiding cave, his hands were cut behind his back, but his body was far away from the battlement, "Old thief, let's see who this is!" ”

Before Chen Ruizhi could speak, when he saw the face of the white-clothed prisoner, he exclaimed, "My son, it turns out that you are here!" ”

The white-clothed prisoner Chen Ting's eyes stared straight at his father, but he didn't say a word, and in an instant he was dragged back by the soldier next to him, thrown heavily on the ground, and came over with a burst of punches and kicks, he just protected his face indifferently, and didn't scream.

Chen Mingyu frowned and stopped his subordinates' revenge on Chen Ting.

Chen Ruizhi was obviously quite concerned about his son, and when he saw Chen Ting being arrested, he immediately stood up upright on the horse, not worrying at all about whether he would be shot by the cold arrow of the Ming army.

Chen Ruizhi anxiously shouted to Yan Yingyuan in the city: "Master Yan, ah no, General Yan, we are all villagers in the township, and we have worked together again, and everything has been discussed. Even if you don't plan for yourself, think about these more than 1,000 people! ”

"What do you want, don't beat around the bush, just say it!" Yan Yingyuan said coldly. "Needless to say, you know my personality!"

Chen Ruizhi nodded again and again, "That's that, the county lord is also in the Qing army now, and when he came, he specially told me that General Yan has lofty ambitions, loyalty, filial piety and pure goodness, and words like this kind of persuasion must not be mentioned." Xiao Ke also thought about it carefully, and the commander of the Qing Dynasty, Lord Dorobellebolo, also said that General Yan was really admirable to defend Nanjing alone, and he also knew that the general's ambition was firm, and he would never accept the proposal to surrender from Kaicheng. Therefore, Lord Belle came up with a compromise solution. You see, does it work? ”

"Speak up and listen!" Yan Yingyuan said, turning his head, but saw that Li Yan, Li Guo, Li Laiheng and others had arrived at the city without knowing when, and they were quietly watching every move in the city and under the city not far away.

Seeing Yan Yingyuan looking at him, Li Yan just smiled slightly. He bowed his hand at Yan Yingyuan and signaled him to improvise.

Chen Ruizhi replied loudly: "General Yan, Lord Belle has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to see the people of Nanjing suffering from the war, so he specially let Xiao Ke give General Ming. As long as the general replaces all the banners of the Ming Dynasty on the city and replaces them with the dragon flags of my Qing Dynasty, he will show the world his intention to surrender. Our army will be withdrawn immediately, and Nanking will be placed under the jurisdiction of the general, and I will not ask a word about it again. In the future, I will calm the world. Generals are also indispensable dukes! ”

Listening to Chen Ruizhi's loud noise, Li Yan gently walked to Yan Yingyuan's side, Yan Yingyuan didn't look back, and said softly: "It was the cabinet that asked Li Tongzhi to come, right?" ”

Li Yan smiled, "Today's incident has already been reported to the cabinet. The general is recommended by His Royal Highness King Rui, and the cabinet is naturally convinced. But Qian Defu and Duan Xinian's people were panicked, lest the general be in turmoil. Misconduct. Iwa volunteered to come to the city to have a look. The general is reassured. Yan won't say a word, but if the general has any strategy, Yan Zi should fully cooperate. There are still 5,000 horses in the Loyal Battalion, and now they have gathered in the Jubao Gate, waiting for the general to dispatch! ”

Yan Yingyuan looked at Li Yan in surprise, but his good impression of Li Yan in his heart increased a little. Shi Kefa and others may not be completely at ease with themselves. The reason why Li Yan and others were sent to the city was nothing more than to prevent himself from opening the door and surrendering because the people of Jiangyin were escorted to the city. But Li Yan seemed to realize that he would not be easy to comply, so he prepared his troops and horses early to prepare for the response, which showed that Li Yan's thinking and wit were different from ordinary people.

Yan Yingyuan sneered twice. "It's also a shame that the Tartar can think of such a condition, do you think Ben will agree?"

Chen Ruizhi laughed dryly, "If the general doesn't agree, it's just that." The general can take the time to see each other, which is already grateful. If you don't agree to the above conditions, there are other things that can be discussed slowly, your two families are fighting to the death in the city and under the city, and all the lives of the soldiers and people are consumed, and I ask the general to think more about the brothers under his command. ”

Chen Ruizhi pointed to the people who were crying left and right around him, "It's these Jiangyin fathers, if they didn't bent on resisting the Qing Heavenly Army, I'm afraid they wouldn't have ended up like this." Many of their relatives, sons and nephews are now in the city of Nanjing, but they can't meet each other, and the Qing army will fall to the ground in a thought, just ask the general, how can you bear to treat these fathers and people like this? ”

Chen Ruizhi kicked the burden to Yan Yingyuan, and he took a good time to straighten the cotton armor on his body, "Please think about it carefully, don't do this kind of thing that separates the brothers under his command from their relatives forever!" ”

Yan Yingyuan snorted coldly, "I don't know what the garrison master thinks?" ”

Chen Ruizhi heard that Yan Yingyuan's words were loose, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This is also easy to do!" The people of Jiangyin were slaughtered, and our Qing soldiers and horses had no choice but to do it. Lord Belle couldn't bear it in his heart, and he didn't want the people of Jiangyin to suffer an unwarranted disaster again. Whether the general is willing to change the flag or not, let's talk about it slowly, at the moment, we are trying to find a way to reunite the families of the people in Jiangyin and return to my hometown! ”

"Tell me about your conditions!"

Chen Ruizhi came to his senses, "This is easy, Lord Belle has the virtue of a good life, and he has ordered a suspension of the siege for two days." In these two days, the general can let the children of Jiangyin go out of the city to meet their families, as long as they are willing to go to the camp of the Qing Dynasty, swear to their faces that they will never be enemies of our Qing Dynasty, and shave their hair and return to obedience, I will be able to give Sichuan capital to return to their hometowns. Lord Belle will also write to the imperial court, and Jiangyin will be exempted from all labor taxes for the next three years, so that the people can work and recuperate with peace of mind. Of course, there are still people in the city who are willing to go out of the city, and according to this example, I will not blame the past and let them return to their homes! General, what do you think? ”

Yan Yingyuan frowned and thought for a moment, "Although the general is responsible for defending the city, there are still a number of officials such as the cabinet department and the town guard officials in this Nanjing city, and this matter is a big matter, and the general will still have to make a decision before making a decision!" ”

Chen Ruizhi hurriedly said: "General Yan, time waits for no one, there are still many nobles in this Nanjing City, Xiao Ke knows, but it is related to the safety of the people of Jiangyin, you might as well consider Xiao Ke's proposal." Just in the area of this treasure gate, the general can call the shots, so why cause unnecessary trouble? Xiao Keke heard that the Shi Pavilion Department is a person who is not easy to get along with! ”

Yan Yingyuan suddenly became a little impatient, "Don't talk nonsense, today evening, I'll give you news!" ”

Chen Ruizhi didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly gestured, "The general is angry, Xiao Ke is waiting for good news!" It's just that Xiao Ke still has a reluctant request, the dog is still in the city, and I ask the general to show mercy and release it, so that my father and son can be reunited! ”

Yan Yingyuan snorted coldly, did not answer, but turned to leave.

Chen Ruizhi looked at it for a long time, and he didn't wait for a reply, so he stupidly took a group of people and the Qing army back to the camp.

Back in the camp, Tun Qi and Bo Luo had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Chen Ruizhi turn around, they immediately couldn't wait to catch up, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Ruizhi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Qi Qi two, you have finally lived up to your mission, looking at Yan Yingyuan's posture, there should be no problem." Even if he doesn't agree, the Jiangyin soldiers under his command will force him to agree. As soon as they left the city, the morale of the army in Nanjing City would be in chaos. ”

Boropi nodded with a smile, but did not speak. Tun Qi was very proud, and patted Chen Ruizhi's shoulder hard, "Okay, well done, take Nanjing City in the future, Ben Beizi will definitely report to the imperial court, give your father and son a half-official position, do a good job, Ben Beizi will definitely not be able to treat him badly!" ”

Chen Ruizhi hurriedly kowtowed again to thank him.

Bo Luo opened his mouth at this time, "What about the chaos of the Nanjing City Army?" There are only thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangyin, and there are also the Ming army's Beijing camp and the loyal battalion, the leader of the loyal battalion, Li Yan, made Prince Ying suffer a lot back then, and he is also an extremely difficult opponent, even if Yan Yingyuan has no intention of fighting, he is not easy to deal with! ”

Tun Qi squinted his eyes and looked at Bolo, although he was disdainful in his heart, he still maintained a little smile on his face, "What Baylor said, however, the last general has other plans. Disrupting the morale of the Ming army is just a pretense, and the last general has also prepared a killer weapon, which will definitely take Nanjing City within five days! ”

Bolo was taken aback, "There is no joke in the army, you are still cautious in your words and deeds, there are still tens of thousands of enemies in Nanjing, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to take it within five days?" ”

Tun Qi sneered, "The last general doesn't dare to take credit, even if it is a fluke, it is also the command of Lord Beile, but this time it is related to the great plan of my East Road army to evaluate Jiangnan, how dare the last general open his mouth?" ”

While talking, there was a report outside, Kong Youde and Shi Tingzhu came to visit together. When the two of them entered the big tent, Tun Qi said to Bolo: "The last general dared to invite King Gongshun and General Shi to come over, just for this great plan!" Whether to implement it or not, please ask Lord Belle to decide! ”

Tun Qi kicked the ball to Bo Luo, and he stood aside easily, but Kong Youde and Shi Tingzhu were a little confused, standing in place in a daze, not knowing what Tun Qi meant by this.

Bo Luo looked at Tun Qi, the indifferent expression on his face made Bo Luo very disgusted, but at this time, he had to rely on him, so he could only put down the shelf of Lord Belle and put on an appearance of humbly accepting advice, "What is the good plan of Beizi, you might as well say it and discuss it, the strategy of Nanjing is an important step for me to settle the world, and now we need to work together to overcome difficulties!" ”

Tun Qi nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, the last general will trespass!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Kong Youde and Shi Tingzhu. Dare to ask the two, how many Francophone artillery are still in my Qing army today? (To be continued......)
