12-85 Peaceful Liberation

There was a cannon sound in the distance, which shook the Shanghai Palace for a while, and dust fell from the beam, and Zhu Youxiao shouted: "Where is the cannon?" ”

A palace maid ran in in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, it's the warships on the river that are firing cannons." ”

Ran in a hurry from Nanjing, those eunuchs didn't bring them out, only found some show girls from Shanghai to serve, these little girls didn't understand anything, just said that it was a warship that opened fire, and couldn't tell whose warship it was, Zhu Youxiao snorted, and walked out, he wanted to see for himself, who was so bold and dared to fire indiscriminately in downtown Shanghai.

As soon as he walked to the door, there was another cannon shot, this time it was closer than just now, several glass windows in the palace were shattered, Zhu Youxiao felt that something was wrong, he no longer went out, but shouted: "Come on, save the driver." ”

Zhao Xingde, the minister of the imperial guard who was on duty in the side hall, immediately ran over, he didn't know what was going on, the two monarchs and ministers stood in the hall helplessly, they heard the sound of cannons in their ears, the teacups on the table were trembling, Zhu Youxiao said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the Song Dynasty sailor came in?" ”

Zhao Xingde said: "No, the Wusong Fort has not moved, how can the Song Dynasty sailors enter the Huangpu River, could it be that the water bandits drove in along the Suzhou River." ”

The two of them were still guessing, Wei Zhongxian ran in over there, shouting for the Imperial Forest Army to close the door and go up the city wall while running, and when he ran closer, Wei Zhongxian was already out of breath, and his python robe was soaked with sweat.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the traitor has arrived in the city, and the Song Navy has also entered the Huangpu River."

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words crying and mourning, Zhu Youxiao couldn't believe his ears, this Shanghai is not Nanjing, and the traitor is not a Xixia person, how can he say that he will call over, what about Ma Shiying, what is Ma Shiying doing? What about Wusong Fort, what about Zhejiang Sailors, what do they eat all of them? has repeatedly received the emperor's favor, and dropped the chain at critical moments, is there such a way to repay the emperor's grace?

"Xiao Weizi, you quickly find Ma Shiying!"

"Your Majesty, Ma Shiying is the opposite, he is leading the traitor over."

"What! Ma Shiying reversed, what about my army, don't I still have an army of 50,000? ”

"It's unreliable, the north gate opened the door and surrendered without a shot, the minions' subordinates saw it clearly, and after a while they came over, the emperor, let's leave quickly."

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Xingde was also afraid, the army all mutinied, and he still played a p, just with the hundred and ten royal forest troops under his hands, it was not enough for people to stuff their teeth, so he also persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's leave quickly, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”

Zhu Youxiao sat on the chair: "Go again?" Where do you go this time? There is no place for the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the sea is full of warships from the Song Dynasty, where am I going. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty don't worry, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the north, the Yuan family and his son are loyal and credible, let's go to Beijing, there is always a chance to turn around." ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed: "That's all, come on, help me pack my luggage." ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's too late, the traitor will speak, hurry up." ”

This time I was even more embarrassed than the last time, I didn't bring clothes, shoes and hats, so I took the jade seal in my arms, and carried a box of rare treasures, and set foot on the road of escape, the airship is always hanging on the palace, Zhu Youxiao still wanted to escape from the air like last time, but was dissuaded by Wei Zhongxian.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are no better than the Western Xia soldiers, they have anti-aircraft guns on their warships, and they will fire when they see airships."

Zhu Youxiao said: "What should I do? ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave has already made arrangements, and Your Majesty will come with me." ”

……

When the holy soldiers of the Divine Cult entered the city gate, the defenders of the city wall gathered together with the parishioners with blue lotus, and when the 6th Naval Division of the Song Dynasty was in Puxi Deng6, the overseas Chinese and the local people of Shanghai welcomed them with flowers and tea, and the sound of cannons turned into salutes, and the sound of killing became cheers, and Shanghai was peacefully liberated.

The change of regime is not troublesome at all, the Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty, the flag has not changed, the era name has not changed, the official uniform system, etc., all do not need to be changed, even the officials of the various yamen are still those people, Ma Shiying is still the governor of Shanghai, and the officials and assistants at all levels of the forbidden army are in their original positions, in short, except for the group of people who were airborne in Nanjing, everything is as usual, so as to ensure the stability of Shanghai to the greatest extent.

Shanghai is a huge city, naturally indispensable scoundrels, want to take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters to get some cheap, but to their disappointment is that the bosses of each hall have received the order of the axe gang, during the liberation of Shanghai, there will never be any chaos, as long as there is an accident on anyone's turf, who will open the knife, someone is not convinced, so I asked, if someone walks on my territory and accidentally falls on whose count, the answer is, count yours, let alone fall someone, even a petty theft case like losing a wallet is not allowed to live, who is not serious, Hmph, naturally he looks good.

The Axe Gang is the local leader in Shanghai, who dares to disrespect the order, all the halls have restrained their subordinates from going out to do business for the past two days, and they have to send red sticks to patrol along the streets, helping the old and the young to cross the road, and Shanghai is very harmonious for a while.

The factories that had been suspended because of the war, the academies that had been suspended, and the shops that had been closed were all open at this time, and everywhere was in full swing, the factories were working overtime to produce ordnance materials, and there was gradually business on the wharf, which had been depressed for many days, and the ships entered the port to unload, and people came and went on the wharf, and Shanghai returned to its former prosperity.

The only regret is that Wei Zhongxian was not caught, the Lusong gunboat has an airship with the royal emblem in a hurry, so it opened fire to fight, the airship airbag is filled with flammable and explosive hydrogen, and it was blown up by the cannonball as soon as it hit the volley, the wreckage fell to the ground, several corpses burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell who it was. ”

The Shanghai Apocalypse regime collapsed within a day, the news spread all over the north and south of the river, and the cabinet assistant ministers of the Hongguang Imperial Court felt that the opportunity had come, if at this time a surprise army attacked Shanghai, occupied the entire Jiangnan, relying on the Yangtze River to fight against the north, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, the industry is densely populated, and the resources are far superior to the north, and the unification of the world does not dare to say in the short term, and it is still possible to divide the river and rule.

The decision was made, and he rushed to recruit Liu Zongmin, the king of Han, who knew that Mr. Liu was spending all day drinking and being happy, so he had no choice but to come to the door in person and go to the king of Han to discuss matters.

This is a medium-level brothel on the bank of the Qinhuai River, there are more than a dozen Datong ladies sitting in the town to pick up customers, this year Datong aunt and Yangzhou thin horse are also famous, but a north and a south have their own characteristics, Liu Zongmin is a northwest man, naturally more favored Datong girls, so often patronize here, and the upstarts who come and go to drive the capital also like to come here to have fun, and keep up with the interests of the leaders.

The stiff eight sedan chairs came to the door, only to see that the alleys on both sides of the gate were full of official sedan chairs, and the bars were squatting together to smoke and chat, what should be Tianfu, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the main hall of the military department, and the deacon signs of Dali Temple Zhengqing were placed everywhere, which was about to become a court, and all the members with a little status ran here to stay.

Mao Bi stiff pressed the fire, ordered people to get off the sedan chair, this side of the sedan chair, the old bustard over there, the official sedan chair of the adult is different from others at a glance, it is a product of the big man, the old bustard still has this bit of eyesight, and then see the honor of this young adult, the old bustard laughed even more, so young and handsome, not when the court is the assistant to risk the stiffness which one can be?

The old bustard waved a flower handkerchief and said: "Lord Mao, you are here, the slave family wants to kill you, several elders in the cabinet have arrived, and just a few people have gathered a table, just waiting for you." ”

The old bustard was talking nonsense, eating and laughing, he didn't notice that Mao Bizhuang's face was as cold as ice, he waved his hand, and Ma Ben had already come over to drive the bustard aside, and the saber guard opened the way in front of his head, Mao Bijian took a robe and walked in.

The more you go inside, the colder your heart becomes, this is the Hongguang Imperial Court that you created single-handedly, and the first and second grade members of the court are basically present, one by one crookedly wearing black yarn, obliquely draped in official uniforms, hippie smiling faces and bitches, some drinking mouth-to-mouth, some touching in public, some singing obscene lyrics and songs, in short, extremely unbearable, so that Mao Bizhuang, who often lingers in the flower street and willow lane, feels a little too much.

In the past, officials and talented people also visited brothels, but they were all very elegant, playing the piano and singing music, chanting poems against each other, and being talented and beautiful, but now, it is really humiliating to fall into such a vulgar and unbearable situation.

It is no wonder that the officials of the Hongguang Imperial Court are all rough soldiers, market hooligans, and local tyrants in the countryside, and their quality is naturally not high.

Mao Bi stiff went straight to the largest private room, regardless of what was growing inside, he kicked it over, the door was wide open, Liu Zongmin jumped up from the bed to pick up the big knife on the wall, and when he saw that it was Mao Bi stiff, he stopped and grinned: "Xiao Mao, you can also taste the taste of this Datong aunt and heavy household." ”
