Chapter 896: Nanjing City II

"Your Majesty, Wei Guogong intends to contact His Highness, but he is just waiting for the price to sell." He Wenyuan told Zhu Houhuang about the situation in 1510, and said: "Please also ask Your Highness to make a bid, if the Duke of Wei presents Nanjing City, how will His Royal Highness reward the Duke of Wei?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "This Xu Pengju didn't learn the style of Xu Huizu at all. ”

When Chengzu went south, Xu Huizu was loyal to orthodoxy, if it wasn't for Chengzu's use of discord, so that Xu Huizu could not lead the troops, Chengzu might not be able to enter Nanjing. Even after attacking Nanjing, Xu Huizu still fought unyieldingly. Failed and captured.

Chengzu asked him to write a letter of repentance, but he only wrote the article on the iron coupon of the Danshu to avoid death, and was revoked of his title and imprisoned until death.

However, what happened back then is just a gossip now, Zhu Houhuang asked the people: "If the Duke of Wei dedicates the city, then how should it be rewarded?" ”

For a while, everyone didn't speak.

Although the noble group of Yongguo has not completely stabilized, under the cultivation of Zhu Houhuang, the influence of Yongguo's nobles on the country has been very far-reaching, and the most direct manifestation is that the status of the Privy Council has overwhelmed the Prime Minister's Office.

But Wei Guogong is the first nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been inherited to the present, and has always had real power, and the Beijing nobles are headed by the British duke, but the influence of the British duke on the Beijing camp has only recovered in recent years, which is far inferior to the control of the Nanjing garrison by the Duke of Wei.

The British Duke was originally called the first noble of the Ming Dynasty because of his proximity to the emperor, but with the power of the civil officials, the court fought again and again, and the British Duke as the target of the noble, also slowly declined, but the influence of the Duke of Wei has always been there, extremely low-key.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are two families, namely the Xu family of the Duke of Wei and the Mu family of the Duke of Qian, but the Duke of Qianguo is located in a remote area, and his political influence is a little too much.

Now no matter who it is, whether it is Qi Jingtong, or Yu Dayou, or other generals, they don't want the Duke of Wei and the Xu family to join King Yong, or the first noble of the Ming Dynasty.

They worked so hard that a straw bale jumped on their heads, and they were not convinced.

But as mentioned above, the Duke of Wei is extremely rich, even if he surrenders, he may not get more than what he has now, and if he does not offer a high price, the Duke of Wei will not waver, but if he opens a high price, it will cause internal dissatisfaction among all the generals.

For Zhu Houhuang, this is also a very difficult question.

That's why Zhu Houhuang took this question and asked them.

"Your Highness." He Wenyuan also figured out what they were thinking, and immediately came out to play a round and said: "The minister thinks that since Wei Guogong sent someone over, it means that he has no hope of being able to hold Nanjing. At least the confidence to hold Nanjing is not so firm. The minister thought that he should go to the city of Nanjing first, try the defense of Nanjing, and then talk to the envoy of Wei, it was not too late. ”

"What the Lord said is extremely true." Qi Jingtong said.

"The minister also thinks that His Highness should not forget his original intention. Whether the city of Nanjing is under or not is not so important, and His Highness's attention should be placed in more important places. Yu Dayou said.

Zhu Houhuang had already understood the thoughts of the people below.

For Wei Guogong, in the future Ming court presided over by Zhu Houhuang, there is no status of Wei Guogong. At least the people below didn't want Wei Guogong to jump on their heads.

In the Chengzu years, there was also a dispute between the founding heroes and the Jingnan heroes, but even if Zhu Houhuang waited for the throne in the future, the new Jingnan heroes had no status in the noble circle, and they would not be allowed to have status.

Zhu Houhuang temporarily detained Zheng Rujin and came to the city of Nanjing a day or two later.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I look at Nanjing City, I feel that Nanjing City is more difficult to deal with than Zhu Houhuang imagined.

The first thing Zhu Houhuang saw when he came to Nanjing was not the outline of Nanjing City, the place in the outer Guo circle was a little too big, the whole Waiguo was just a kind of goods, no one defended it at all, if you want to defend the outer Guo, it is not something that tens of thousands of people can stop.

So Wai Guo was easily broken through.

arrived at the real city of Nanjing, which made Zhu Houhuang unbelievable.

On his side. There are a lot of houses, and there are large swaths of houses built against the city walls. There are still traces of new demolitions, and some traces of burning, but these are only a small part of the city.

And these demolished and burned were not done by others, but the traces of Liu Bochen's last attack.

In other words, apart from the damage caused by the Yongjun army outside the city of Nanjing, the defenders of the Ming army did nothing at all, did not clean up the horizon, did not forcibly demolish the houses, and did not burn the woods outside the city.

This allowed Zhu Houhuang to have sufficient raw materials to build siege equipment, and even wood could be dismantled directly from the house.

Local materials can be used.

This is simply convenient for King Yong. Zhu Houhuang had never seen such a defender of the city.

Zhu Houhuang said: "This Xu Pengju really lives up to the name of straw bales, and it simply tarnishes the name of the martial saint. ”

"Yu Dayou." Zhu Houhuang shouted.

Yu Dayou said: "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "You are alone to build siege equipment, and after three days, start attacking the city, can you do it?" ”

Yu Dayou said: "The minister obeys the order. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Wang Zhi." ”

Wang Zhi said: "The minister is here." ”

During this period of time, Wang Zhi has always seemed to be invisible, not that Wang Zhi wants to keep a low profile, but in the plan of a surprise attack on Beijing, Wang Zhi is to follow the generals of the past, and Wang Zhi's current task is to protect Zhu Houhuang. Second, slowly but firmly in the middle of the army, the elite troops were dispatched to prepare for the assault on Tianjin Wei.

Zhu Houhuang didn't want to let Wang Zhi make a move, but he created the collapse method, but it was useless, and the moat in many places in the south was too deep to dig through the moat. When Wang Zhi was supervising the mine, he was the most sensitive to all kinds of gunpowder.

It was also Wang Zhi who perfected Zhu Houhuang's opinions.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone gives you a task, that is, to collapse the Nanjing City Wall for me." Can it be done? Although Candle Flame asked, there was a kind of unwavering determination in his eyes. The answer he wants is that it will definitely work.

The reason why Zhu Houhuang wanted to collapse under the city of Nanjing was not because Zhu Houhuang wanted to capture Nanjing, but because he wanted Nanjing to become an experiment in the city of Beijing.

Nanjing, Beijing, as far as urban defense is concerned, is unparalleled in the whole world.

Zhu Houhuang has been deliberating on the final plan. Zhu Houhuang has been worried.

Worried that the Yongjun army captured Tianjin Wei and hit the city of Beijing, but there was no way to face the city of Beijing, as long as Jiajing could appease the better people, hold on to it, and wait for the army of King Qin to appear in all directions, at that time, all Zhu Houhuang could do was to retreat.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang needs a way to quickly break through the Beijing Division, and the method Zhu Houhuang chooses is one inside and one outside, needless to say the internal response, but in this battle, it is changing rapidly, and it is also unknown how much role these internal responses can play at that time.

So Zhu Houhuang can't put all his hopes here, Zhu Houhuang must think of a few more ways as insurance, and Zhu Houhuang's choice is to collapse.

Although Zhu Houhuang's collapse method is one of them, which is to put gunpowder into the coffin. Put it under the city wall through the tunnel, and use the explosive force of gunpowder to lift the city wall, so that the giant city is like lifting a piece of paper.

However, this method is not very applicable in the south, and I don't know if it is an empirical problem, anyway, the south, especially in the Nanyang area, is very rich in groundwater, and it is impossible to dig out a deep enough tunnel.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang wanted Wang Zhi to give it a try.

Zhu Houhuang arranged all the tasks, and tens of thousands of Yongjun troops suddenly spread out under the city of Nanjing. The army went down the river to the village, and the water and land battalions were all in one place. Stretching for several miles, but under the command of Yu Dayou, the soldiers of Yong turned into a demolition team and demolished large areas of buildings into raw materials. Then the raw materials became siege equipment, and Wang Zhi was also exploring the soil, looking for a place, ready to start.

The days passed in a hurry, and after three days, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and it was a good day to siege the city.
