At the instigation of dozens of important ministers, even after knowing that he had made this decision, he had no capital to regain the world from the hands of the Haw Par Army. Emperor Chongzhen still did not hesitate to agree to the golden cicada shelling proposed by the cabinet chief.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that the first assistant of the cabinet with a part of the ministers and Chongzhen's stand-ins stayed in Nanjing, continued to maintain the operation of the imperial court, commanded more than 100,000 soldiers on the Yangtze River defense line, and continued to resist the attack of the tiger and leopard army.

Emperor Chongzhen, with his family and some ministers, secretly left Nanjing City and went to the southwest for refuge.

After the end of a court meeting related to the life and death of the imperial court, dozens of ministers, from happy, excited, of course, to solemn faces.

And at this moment, what they didn't know was that in order to wipe out all the main forces of the imperial court on the Yangtze River defense line, they would take the imperial court in one fell swoop at the lowest cost. Wei Zheng, who has rarely been on the battlefield, is sitting in the Fourth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, that is, Zhao Yun's Chinese army tent.

When Wei Zheng listened to the endless defensive methods of the new imperial army on the other side of the Yangtze River, Wei Zheng's face directly became serious.

Because, according to Zhao Yun, whether it is a large number of red-coated cannons equipped by the new army of the imperial court, or a catapult used to throw fire oil, as long as the ammunition and materials stored by the imperial court are sufficient, they will cause unprecedented heavy casualties to the troops in the process of crossing the river.

Judging from the various scale of exploratory attacks launched by Zhao Yun over the past few days and the casualties of more than 3,000 people, it is certain that as long as the attack is launched from the front to the Yangtze River defense line, such losses cannot be avoided.

More importantly, these casualties are only those on the river.

Even if the troops successfully landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it did not mean that the victory of the entire decisive battle was already their own.

As long as the landing force can not be in a short time. A breakthrough was opened in the defense line laid out by the new army of more than 100,000 imperial courts. No matter how many landing troops are sent themselves. will also be pressed by the new army of the imperial court to fight by the river, and finally cannot escape the end of being driven back to the Yangtze River by the enemy.

You must know that this is the real head-to-head with the new army of the imperial court. Wei Zheng didn't know how many soldiers' lives the Haw Par Army would pay again in this real hard encounter.

Of course, some people may say that with the equipment advantage of the Haw Par Army, as long as the Haw Par Army succeeds in killing the south bank of the Yangtze River. More than 100,000 new imperial troops defending the south bank of the Yangtze River. It will definitely collapse directly on the battlefield......

In fact, otherwise, in Wei Zheng's heart, there is a sentence to describe the current imperial court and the new army of the imperial court, which could not be more appropriate

That is, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry......

At the critical juncture when it was related to the life and death of the imperial court and himself, no one knew how powerful the new army of more than 100,000 imperial courts would burst out.

After all, at this moment, Chongzhen is still in Nanjing City...... With the prestige of Emperor Chongzhen in the more than 100,000 new army, as long as Chongzhen does not leave Nanjing City for a day, he does not surrender for a day. The high morale of the more than 100,000 new troops of the imperial court will continue like this.

I also want to wipe out all the more than 100,000 new troops of the imperial court here. He also wanted to keep Emperor Chongzhen in Nanjing City and capture him, so as to solve the threat that the Zhu family of the Ming Imperial Family might pose to his future regime in one fell swoop, and also wanted to minimize the casualties of the troops......

Faced with one request after another in his heart, Wei Zheng, who had a serious face, couldn't help but become embarrassed.

Even sometimes, Wei Zheng would have a thought in his heart, was his requirements too high...... In situations where it is difficult to achieve, do you want to give up one or two requirements......

However, after some hesitation and thinking, Wei Zheng decided to continue to persevere.

Because, as long as you can complete these requirements, you only need the battle in front of you, and you can replace the imperial court.

More importantly, from now on, there will never be any war in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is another reason why it is so persistent, in addition to the unprecedented great temptation. That is, he still has the hole cards of tens of thousands of troops of the First Army in his hand.

After a very serious analysis, Wei Zheng had to admit that if he wanted to fight this battle well and complete all the requirements in his heart, the key to all the keys was the headquarters of Wang Feng of the First Army.

And just when Wei Zheng looked serious, frowned and fell into contemplation, an exclamation sounded directly outside the Chinese army's battle.

Subsequently, the excited figure of Chief of Staff Sun Chengzong rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Faced with this situation, before Wei Zheng could speak, the excited Sun Chengzong took the lead and said.

"Lord Wang, great victory...... The First Army won a great victory...... Wang Feng's headquarters of the First Army took advantage of the carelessness of the defenders of Nanjing City and successfully eliminated 30,000 garrisons outside Nanjing...... So far, the defenders of Nanjing City have less than 20,000 people......"

"Destroy 30,000 defenders of Nanjing...... Chief of Staff, you're not wrong...... How did he Wang Feng do it. As far as this king knows, the 50,000 garrisons in Nanjing City are the strongest among all the new armies in the imperial court. Also, after destroying so many enemies, the casualties of the First Army are not large, and there is still no strength to encircle the city of Nanjing......"

Sun Chengzong affirmed without thinking about it: "Please rest assured...... In addition to the cavalry division, which suffered a little more losses, the three infantry divisions all had more than 5,000 people. Surrounded by a city of Nanjing, there was no problem ......"

Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told him what he knew about the battle process.

After it was over, even Wei Zheng, who came from later generations and crossed over, couldn't help but be amazed by Wang Feng's series of attack methods.

Excitement to excitement, Wei Zheng did not forget the difficulties he was facing in front of him.

However, with this victory, these difficulties will obviously be much less.

After some hesitation, he directly asked Sun Chengzong: "Chief of Staff, how do we contact Wang Feng now, can we contact Wang Feng immediately......

"Yes, up to two hours...... We used a flying pigeon that had just been trained in the army......"

"That's good......" Wei Zheng's face was happy, and he subconsciously spoke.

After finishing, he ordered directly to Sun Chengzong: "Chief of Staff...... Tell Wang Feng that in the name of this king, ask Chongzhen to go out of the city and surrender immediately...... As long as he surrenders, the king promises to give him a title of eternal wealth and prosperity, and will not hurt him or his family in the slightest. In addition, the civil and military officials in Nanjing City, this king is not to blame in the past........."

"However, if you don't surrender, don't blame the king for letting his family ruin after taking Nanjing City...... As for the court officials in Nanjing, they will also be imprisoned with him, and even exterminate their families.

"This king is confident that with the remaining forces in Nanjing City, he will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the First Army...... As long as he Chongzhen still has a little sense, he will agree to the conditions offered by this king......"

"Even if he Chongzhen doesn't agree, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, in order to survive, will force Chongzhen to agree to the conditions set by the king......" (to be continued......)
