Chapter 189: Who Gave Them Courage

Previous Chapter

Most of the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing were transferred to Nanjing after the Beijing Division lost power, and they have always been at odds with the Sixth Department of Beijing, and they even regard Nanzhili as their own one-acre and three-point land, and they have a lot of precautions against the north.

The Japanese rebellion broke out, and to this day, military reports from all over the country have come that there is already a royal history, three commanders, and 5,000 households have been killed in succession, two county towns have fallen, more than 2,000 people have been killed and wounded by each guard and horse, and countless people have been killed and wounded.

Nowadays, all the prefectures in Nanzhili are like facing a great enemy, and they close their doors early before it gets dark every day, and the city is full of people who have fled in, and there is a scene of panic everywhere.

The losses of the imperial court army and horses were huge, but the Japanese were ......

This piece of goods came from a different way, and it is completely different from the previous ones.

Although the previous Japanese were also difficult, the guards and horses were equally divided by virtue of their numerical superiority.

But now this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that every time there is a battle, the situation is one-sided.

The Guardians came up with great victories and killed countless enemies, but once they asked for their heads, they were vague and could not take out any of them......

Otherwise, the head handed in only needs to be seen to know whose head it is.

How much water is in the victory, everyone is tacit......

In the city of Nanjing, the people who are most anxious about the fire are Yu Hong, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Chen Yu, the commander of Nanjing.

Yu Hong, as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was in charge of the 49 guards in the south of the Yangtze River, with nearly 200,000 horses.

Chen Yu was the commander of the Nanjing garrison and was responsible for the military affairs of the three major battalions in Nanjing.

In this way, if there is any disturbance in the Jiangnan military affairs, these two will not be able to avoid it.

Today's meeting between the two has a common goal, and at the same time, they both have ghosts in their hearts.

A common goal is to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible.

You must know that under the encirclement and suppression of military horses, this rebellion has not only not been exterminated, but also has a growing trend.

In this way, isn't it the incompetence of the Nanzhili army and horses, but the incompetence of the two of them?

Zhejiang has reported to Jingshi, and Nanzhili has also reported it.

By the way, there is also the eunuch in the imperial city, he is afraid that he has already reported to the emperor.

It is impossible to conceal it, and what we need to do now is to deal with this matter before Jingshi intervenes.

Yu Hong knew that not to mention the 200,000 horses of the Jiangnan Guard, but they had been peaceful for a long time, and all of them were already useless.

Let this gang of soldiers fight the vicious Japanese bandits, and it will be hellish if they can win.

In view of this situation, Yu Hong hit the idea on the three major battalions of Nanzhili who still had combat strength.

There are still 100,000 people in Nanjing, and although the number of Japanese is not clear, it is impossible to exceed 1,000.

Yu Hong planned to let the Nanjing Jingying transfer 3,000 men and horses, and then have the guards to encircle and suppress together, so that these would-be wouldn't return.

In fact, Nanzhili has a real strong army in a hundred battles, Xiaolingwei.

Xiaoling Wei is as a protection of the "filial piety" of the troops, I am afraid that it is the only full force in the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers are elite and full of guards, there are 5,600 officers and soldiers under the command, there are 5 guards in a guard, and there are 1,120 people in each guard.

Moreover, these officers and soldiers were selected after long-term training, and among them, 500 elite soldiers were selected.

Selection criteria for elite soldiers: can ride a horse and raise a whip, gallop at high speed, and ride a horse across a trench, over a wall, and shoot arrows with a bow on a horse, and only those who have two arrows out of three arrows are qualified.

These elite soldiers are adjusted and assessed every five years, and they are all Huaixi people, who are second to none in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are no madmen in Nan Zhili who dare to shorten their things, and no one dares to treat them badly.

It's just that this army is too special, and no one dares to hit them with this idea.

Besides, I'm afraid that I, the Nanjing garrison minister of the military department and Chen Yu, will not be able to command.

So Yu Hong could only retreat and come to Nanjing Jingying.

However, if you want Nanjing Jingying, Chen Yu will definitely not be able to avoid this pass.

Chen Yu sneered in his heart, what an old horseman, with a good calculation.

He is a garrison, but he can mobilize the army of the Beijing camp without an edict, and this kind of power is purely impossible to find death.

If someone takes the opportunity to participate in this game, they will be done with it.

Yu Hong had long expected that Chen Yu would take care of the general, and repeatedly assured that this was just a cheap method, so he wrote to His Majesty and asked for the edict of Nanjing Jingying.

Yu Hong also said that if His Majesty is really held accountable, he is willing to write a letter with the officials of the six ministries, the Jiangnan military and civilians, to clarify, and ensure that Jiang Bo is fine.

In addition to the words, it was also revealed that as long as Chen Yuken sent troops, Jiangnan would naturally return the favor.

In the end, Yu Hong also played a hand of moral kidnapping, and wished that the uncle would think twice for the millions of soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan and save the people from fire and water.

Chen Yu knows how much energy the people behind Yu Hong have in Jiangnan.

Half of the officials of the imperial court came from Jiangnan, and six or seven out of ten of the first- and second-class scholars in the imperial examination every year were also Jiangnan people.

These people are also second to none in all parts of the Yangtze River, all kinds of attachments, forming in-laws, and deep-rooted, whether in the government or the opposition, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.

To be able to get such a force to help, maybe I will go to the next level as an earl...... It's not impossible.

As the so-called high risk and high return, behind the huge benefits is also a huge risk.

If his own family really transferred troops, what would His Majesty of the Jingshi think......

Listening to the letter from the north, the emperor has already ruthlessly rectified the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and dealt a ruthless blow to the Beijing camp.

That is, Nanjing Jingying Tiangao Emperor is far away, and he can't care about meddling for a while.

Chen Yu couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only prevaricate a few words.

But no one expected that what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

After landing in Zhejiang, they killed all the way to Anhui, and now, they actually turned around and went straight to Nanjing.

Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Ashikaga Kogoro began to operate his crazy ideas.

Who gave him courage?

It's the Ming Army.

After the defeat of the Ruian Thousand Households, their confidence was greatly increased, and they showed amazing combat effectiveness, killing an imperial historian in Shangyu, and then fleeing from the vicinity of Hangzhou to Chun'an.

In the process of traveling from Hangzhou to Chun'an County, the Japanese fought against several Ming armies several times their size, and none of them were defeated.

However, under the successive battles, more than 100 people were lost.

However, there were only 300 people left, and the morale of the Japanese did not seem to be affected.

On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty was frightened enough by the Japanese invaders. Because of the lax defense of the Zhejiang soldiers, the Japanese left Zhejiang with a swagger and came to Huizhou Mansion. And the more than 500 defenders of Huizhou Mansion, when they saw this Japanese bandit, actually "rushed to the ground" and fled in despair.

More than 500 people can't win against the Japanese invaders, so what about doubling the number?

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers in Jingde County resisted the Japanese invaders, and more than 700 people in Nanling County defended them, all of which were not blocked, and the two county towns fell one after another, but the Japanese invaders were mainly anti-guest, and looted in these two counties, burning down a lot of houses, Ashikaga Kogoro took them, passing through Taiping County, and finally arrived at Jiangning on the outskirts of Nanjing.

When the news came, Nanjing shook, and the entire Nanzhili went crazy.

In the 70 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one has ever been able to come to the city of Nanjing.

What's more, it's still a Japanese bandit.

Spreading it out is not a big joke in the world.

The city wall of Nanjing is divided into two circles: the inner city and the outer Guo. Although Jiangning is outside the scope of the city wall outside Nanjing, it is not far from the city gate. Seeing that the Japanese were approaching, Chen Yu panicked and urgently met with officials above the six ministries, Wei Guogong and other ministers.

After the meeting, several people discussed, and finally decided that the Beijing camp commander Zhu Xiang and Jiang Sheng led the soldiers and horses to stop the Japanese in the cherry orchard outside the city.

But no one expected that this would be another big defeat.

It was early summer, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Ming army originally planned to wait for work, but after waiting for a long time, the Japanese did not come, and the Ming army was not tolerant of heat and heat, so they took off their armor one after another, and hid in the shade of the tree to drink and enjoy the coolness.

Just when the Ming army's defense was lax, the Ming army suddenly rushed out, and the Ming army was caught off guard, and when the Ming army fled, they fell into the ditch they had dug before, unable to move, and could only sit and wait for death, with countless casualties.

These gang of Japanese robbers chased and killed the Ming army with a katana, "holding the blade and shouting forward, and it whirled like the wind", with superb knife skills, ruthless and fast.

Commanding Jiang Sheng to ride a horse and was injured by the Japanese invaders, the other Ming troops were naturally even more unable to resist.

In this battle, the Ming army killed more than 300 people, even Zhu Xiang himself was killed by the Japanese invaders, Jiang Sheng was seriously wounded, fell off the horse, and luckily picked up a life.

Jiang Sheng fled back to Nanjing with the rout, and the city was shocked.

This defeat pushed the atmosphere of fear to the top, and suddenly made the whole Nanjing people panic, and the officials in Nanjing quickly ordered the city gates to be closed, the whole city was under martial law, and the division of labor to defend the thirteen main city gates, and let the common people take turns on duty on the city wall to prevent the Japanese from attacking the city.

Yu Hong even sent a letter to Xiaolingwei in private, hoping that Xiaolingwei could support.

Chen Yu even personally put on armor and climbed the city wall to boost morale.

Under normal circumstances, the besieging side only dares to attack the city with great fanfare when it has a clear advantage in numbers.

Two days later, a swaggering group of pirates appeared outside the city.

These hundreds of Japanese soldiers faced the strong city wall of Nanjing, but they had no intention of retreating.

Later, as mentioned in the book, the leader of the Japanese invaders "rode on a horse in red clothes", wearing a bright yellow umbrella cover, gathered his subordinates, and stormed the Ande Gate.

On the one hand, the defenders of Nanjing City used firecrackers to defend against the Japanese invaders, and on the other hand, they searched closely for spies, and really caught one. After wandering around the gates in the south of the city, they found that there was no chance to take advantage of them, and finally decided to retreat.

The Japanese invaders returned in vain, but the city of Nanjing was still in a state of panic and maintained a state of martial law.

"Although the thieves retreated, they did not dare to lift the strictness."

After the Japanese retreated, everyone's hearts were extremely heavy for the rest of their lives.

They knew that the next accountability from Jingshi would not be much better than this sudden incident.

When the news of the siege of Nanjing reached Beijing, the DPRK and China were stunned.

Isn't it a joke that a few Japanese robbers actually dare to hit Nanjing?

But this joke was sent by Nanjing Kuaima.

The six departments of Nanjing, the Nanjing garrison ministers, and the garrison eunuchs all sent the same joke.

The military department, the governor's office of the five armies, and the household department came almost at the same time.

The eunuch of the celebrant came in a hurry, saying that His Majesty had sent you to enter the palace immediately.

When he arrived at Jinshui Bridge, Jin Ying had been waiting here for a long time.

"We've seen all of you."

Jin Ying saw someone and hurriedly greeted him.

"Father-in-law is polite, Your Majesty is ......... now"

When Kuang Yu saw Jin Ying like this again, he knew that it was not good.

Jin Ying shook his head, "When I heard the news, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, lost his temper, and finally flipped the table on the spot.

It's not that our family is too talkative, Nanjing's matter is too much. ”

Who's to say it isn't?

Now up and down, who doesn't scold the gang of wine bags and rice bags in Nanjing.

How many people can there be? How many soldiers are there in Jiangnan?

As a result, what the hell is this beating, throwing his ancestors.

Warm Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, your Excellency has arrived."

"Biography."

After several people entered the hall, they saluted: "The ministers have seen Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy."

Zhu Qizhen's face was pale, and he spoke stiffly.

Everyone has a bottom in their hearts, it seems that His Majesty's anger has not disappeared, and he is angry.

"I'm in a hurry to summon you today, what is the matter, I'm afraid you all know it in your hearts.

The first time I saw it, I couldn't believe it, I watched it three times in a row, three times.

A few Japanese robbers actually went all the way in the south of the Yangtze River, killing our soldiers and civilians, and in the end, they actually dared to fight Nanjing.

What's going on? This is a slap in the face, and then a slap in the face of the court, a great shame.

Can any of you give me an explanation, give me an explanation, why this is the case, why it is the way it is.

There are rich people in Jiangnan, why do they fight like this.

Look, look, all the way, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the people were countless, countless.

Can anyone tell me why, why? ”

Zhu Qizhen said as he spoke, and his anger grew again.

Made's gang of dogs, no wonder when Duoduo went south, hundreds of thousands of horses in Nanjing surrendered without a fight.

I can't even beat the little Japanese, and I still beat the Jurchens, dreaming.

"Your Majesty is angry", Kuang Yu said stubbornly: "Jiangnan Chengping has been peaceful for a long time, and the military equipment is lax, and the responsibility for this matter lies with the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War cannot shirk it, and please ask Your Majesty to shirk it." ”

After saying that, Kwong Yu bowed down.

"Yes, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is also to blame for this matter, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn it."

Zhang Fu also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Seeing the two old ministers kneeling, Zhu Qizhen was a little unbearable, "I don't blame the two Qing families, what does this matter have to do with the two Qing families." ”

After that, Zhu Qizhen glared at Jin Ying on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help the two elders up." ”

"Yes".

Jin Ying hurriedly beckoned a few eunuchs on the side, and carefully helped the two people underground up.

"I can't blame the two of you for this.

What is Gangnam? That's the root of my Daming, and nothing can happen.

For this reason, since the move to the north, the imperial court has given Nanjing great power, hundreds of thousands of men and horses, and sufficient money and food.

As a result, the loss of the city and the army, one by one, in a high position and inaction, really chilled my heart. ”

When they heard the words "lost the city and lost the army", everyone's hearts were shocked.
