Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zheng Sen and Xiao Zhiyan are the companions, and Zong Mao is the one who really speaks.

"Your Majesty, King Lu is guilty, Zhang Mingzhen is also guilty, read that these two people made great contributions when they expelled the Qing captives from Jiangnan, please forgive the sins of these two people."

Zong Mao knelt on the ground, and when he kowtowed, his waist only bent slightly.

Zhu Yujian saw it clearly. In his current situation, he is most concerned about who is truly respecting him and who is just perfunctory.

Time flows silently in the dim night like the water of the Yangtze River.

It only took two hours from Zhenjiang Mansion to Nanjing City, and Zhang Mingzhen stepped up his urging of soldiers and horses, and the matter had come to this point, and there was no way out. Immediately after his troops, there was a group of men and horses, which were the soldiers led by Meng Kang, the chief soldier of Ning Shao.

King Lu was very familiar with Meng Kang, and his guards in the Taizhou palace were all members of Meng Kang's army.

Chen Zilong gave orders to all the generals in Zhejiang, he didn't expect Meng Kang to listen to his dispatch, but Meng Kang was the first to lead the army to Hangzhou. The regular soldiers who have experienced the training of war are far superior to the government soldiers in terms of reaction and combat effectiveness.

Zhang Mingzhen thought that Meng Kang was his backing, and Chen Zilong and Feng Qin thought that Meng Kang was spying on Zhang Mingzhen.

The two teams moved extremely quickly, from the official road straight to the east gate of Nanjing.

There were pedestrians on the road, and when they saw the soldiers and horses hurrying up, they all got out of the way.

Twenty miles away from the city of Nanjing, there were thirty or fifty cavalry waiting on the side of the road.

The sky was already gray, and the mountains, the jungles, and the shadows were all over.

Along the way, he didn't see the defenders of Nanjing City, and Zhang Mingzhen became more and more confident. Even if General Pinglu was borrowing his hand to abolish the emperor, he admitted it.

King Lu, who was mixed with a large group of soldiers and horses, was chattering endlessly: "If I ascend to the throne, I will be named General Zhai as the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and lead the entire Ming soldiers and horses to fight against the Qing Dynasty!" "He didn't sit in that position, thinking that whatever price he paid was worth it.

Thirty or fifty cavalrymen stopped in the middle of the avenue, and the knights stepped forward to beckon: "Please follow me general!" ”

Zhang Mingzhen was listed, he did not know these people, and he did not ask about their identities.

Five thousand soldiers approached the city of Nanjing, and they did not light torches.

The clouds in the sky blocked the moon, and it was impossible to see the outsiders from the city.

The knight handed over the documents of the Pingyu General's Mansion in his hand to Zhang Mingzhen, and pointed to the east gate of Nanjing City, "Please ask General Zhang to lead the army into the city with this!" ”

Zhang Mingzhen arrived at the city, and according to the prior agreement, he greeted the city: "We are the soldiers who escorted the food and salary, and we arrived late because of the delay on the way, and there are documents from the General's Mansion as evidence." ”

In an inn not far from the city, Xu Yiyang had saliva hanging on the corner of his mouth, his two eyes looked at the black sky, and his hands and feet couldn't move. Because of the influence of Xiao Zhiyan, he was particularly partial to the things in the cup, but he didn't expect to be paralyzed after only a few sips today. In his own flask, someone gave him an anesthetic.

Mr. Qian at the head of the city took the hanging paperwork and ordered people to go straight to the General Soldier's Mansion quickly, but Xiao Zhiyan and Xu Yiyang were nowhere to be seen. He carefully examined the paperwork, confirmed that it was correct, and ordered his soldiers to open the city gates. The general manager of the Pingyu General's Mansion is in charge of the food and salary of the whole army, and there are people in each army who have heads and faces, and who does not give him a little thin face.

Five thousand soldiers entered the city of Nanjing in turn.

Not far away, the soldiers guarding the gate of the brigade appeared abnormal, and burst out into a shout, each holding a weapon, and confronting Zhang Mingzhen's vanguard.

Zhang Mingzhen urged him to step forward and arched his hand: "I am Zhang Mingzhen, the general of Chongming under the command of General Pingyu, and I am in Nanjing City under the order of the general, and I am a brother in life and death with you, so don't do it." ”

A knight behind him urged him to step forward and said, "If you don't believe me, please go and ask General Xiao for advice." ”

When the soldiers guarding the city hesitated, Zhang Mingzhen shouted: "Enter the city!" "Urging the horses and soldiers to force their way through.

Mr. Qian, who was guarding the door, pushed and pushed the way, without Xiao Zhiyan's order, and with documents as evidence, he had the right not to do anything.

Someone was secretly leading the way, and Zhang Mingzhen rushed straight to the imperial city.

The sudden sound of the running footsteps of a large group of soldiers appeared in the streets, and the people and the gentry closed the doors tightly.

The imperial city was also guarded by Zheng Sen and Xiao Zhiyan, and there was no way to get here, so the knight who answered pointed to the continuous buildings on the opposite side and said, "Mr. Zhang, everything here depends on you." ”

"Assault?" Zhang Mingzhen was a little stunned, "Storming the Imperial City, isn't it General Xiao who is in charge of it?" ”

Before he could give the order, torches were lit on the walls of the Imperial City, and the defenders shouted, "Someone is coming to attack the Imperial City!" "The sound of sirens roamed the city of Nanjing.

"Siege, siege!"

The sound of a gun sounded.

In the palace, Zong Mao chattered for a long time, and finally waited for the sound of guns outside.

"This is the sin of treason!" Zhu Yujian's voice fell, and he wanted to clear the hidden danger of King Lu. Even if you can't get to the death of King Lu, you have to find a way to trap him, just like you were at the beginning. The other princes of the Ming Dynasty are not worried, and the prestige of King Lu in Jiangnan is far better than him because of the anti-shaving order.

"What's going on?" Emperor Longwu bounced up from his seat.

Zheng Sen stretched out his hand and touched his waist, only to remember that before entering the palace, his weapons had been confiscated.

"It's over, it's plotted by these two people!" He looked at Xiao Zhiyan and didn't dare to move, while Xiao Zhiyan looked at Zong Mao.

"What's going on?" Zong Mao looked dazed.

The sound of the cannon became more and more urgent, as if ringing in his ears, Xiao Zhiyan could no longer stand, held Zong Mao's arms tightly, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Could it be that Zhang Mingzhen lied to me?" Zong Mao broke away from Xiao Zhiyan's hands.

Layers of sweat beads poured out of Emperor Longwu's forehead, and the clothes on his backbone were already soaked. All the words and actions of these people in front of them have become coy.

Before everyone could figure out the clue, the little eunuch cried all the way and rushed into Kunning Palace, "Your Majesty, Chongming's chief soldier Zhang Mingzhen rebelled and is attacking the city outside the imperial city. ”

Emperor Longwu held the sword in his waist and stared at the three people in front of him.

Zheng Sen looked at the performance of Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao with mocking eyes, he didn't dare to move, but he had Zheng as his backing.

Xiao Zhiyan can't wait to swallow Zong Mao into his stomach now, he has always had a heart for others, and he hates others for deceiving him the most.

Zong Mao looked at the emperor sitting on the high seat with an innocent face.

The shouts and killings outside became louder and louder, and the orders of the two general soldiers in the streets of the Beijing camp did not move, and Meng Kang led the army to follow Xiao Zhang Mingzhen into the city of Nanjing.

Emperor Longwu finally saw the true face of everyone.

Zheng Sen, who he trusted the most, stood there, motionless like a stake. If the Pinglu General's Mansion really wanted to abolish Tang Lilu, the 20,000 people of the Zheng family would never sacrifice their lives to save the imperial court.

What about Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao?

"Majesty!" Xiao Zhiyan took the lead and said, "I will go with Zheng Zongbing to quell the rebellion." ”

Zong Mao stopped Xiao Zhiyan, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please make General Pingyu a great general, and control the soldiers and horses in the world to quell the rebellion, so as to ensure the safety of Your Majesty." ”
