The city wall of Nanjing, in fact, is a whole defense system.

This defense system is divided into four parts: the palace city, the imperial city, the capital and the outer city, and this time Zhu Cihong brought people to the outer city.

The total length of the outer city of Nanjing reaches 60 kilometers, and the plane shape is diamond-shaped.

Ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da supervised the construction in the 23rd year of Hongwu, with thirteen city gates, whether now or in later generations, it is the largest city wall in the country.

Zhu Cihong came to the south gate of Jubao Gate, that is, the Zhonghua Gate of later generations, only in front of the tiger's mouth, there are three extremely majestic urn cities standing.

The interval between the three urn cities is extremely short, and there are three open spaces in the middle, and the last open space is full of military camps that can be used to defend the city.

The second open space is a small shooting range and playground for soldiers to practice.

The first open space was nothing, but if the enemy attacked from here, the defenders on three sides could easily form a dense fire suppression.

It can even be said that the South Gate is the most fortified place in Nanjing, with many shacks, towers, and nearly a thousand battlements enough for all the defenders to climb and shoot.

Seeing a group of people coming in front of him, Mr. Qian, who was guarding here, hurriedly came over, bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Zhu Cihong stopped behind the gate of the innermost urn city, walked in, and saw the Ming soldiers in the barracks in the third clearing.

These guards who defended Nanjing belonged to Zhao Zhilong of Xincheng.

At this moment, they are all lying together, and there is the sound of guessing and laughing in the barracks, but there is no sound of drills that should belong here.

Looking at this scene, not to mention Zhu Cihong, even Huang Degong, who was following behind him, was not angry, what is this?

At a glance, it's full of ** and soldier oil!

Relying on these people, can they hold Nanjing?

The Qian Zong who followed behind Zhu Cihong was already in a cold sweat, if it was the new emperor who had just ascended the throne, maybe he would not be so afraid.

But now it is different, there are more than 1,000 pro-military guards behind this emperor, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers under Huang Degong.

On the road, under the banner of King Qin, Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong and Li Guo, the old camps of Dashun, have tens of thousands of horses.

Although these people were born in exile, Li Zicheng was dispatched by the emperor after his death, which was different from them.

When an emperor has soldiers, the expressions and mentality of the people below him are naturally different, and now it is the truest portrayal.

Zhu Cihong was not in a hurry, and asked Mr. Qian to gather the men and horses guarding the south gate, and just sat in the barracks in the third urn city and waited.

After about half an hour, the sparse manpower was called, there were patrols, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the various sections of the city wall.

Combined, that's a few thousand.

The armor on these people is not complete, only the subordinates of each Qianzong, Baizong and the general, and a small number of elites wearing armor, also called Jiading.

Most of the rest were strong men pulled by the guard, and they were sent over to make up the numbers when they took the standard knives and guns.

Not to mention how many of these soldiers had the intention of guarding the city wall of Nanjing, this number is far from the number of people who should guard the south gate in the accounts.

"What about the others?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Faced with the emperor's knowingly question, Mr. Qian couldn't answer truthfully, he wiped his sweat and said, "That's it." ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"The officers and soldiers at the south gate must not be less than 20,000, how much empty pay have they eaten?" Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "Who is responsible for guarding the south gate!" ”

Mr. Qian stumbled and said, "Yes... Marquis of Anyuan..."

"Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang?" Li Zhan, the imperial historian of the city patrol, muttered, and stood up directly and said, "Your Majesty, this person is Zhao Zhilong's henchman. ”

"The minister impeached Liu Zuochang, the Marquis of Anyuan, for eating empty salaries, concealing the number of soldiers, and eating vegetarian meals for corpses!"

As long as he can get Zhao Zhilong, Li Zhan will be happy in his heart, and as long as he can avenge the revenge of arresting two hundred disciples in Donglin Academy that day, he will be happy.

As for why the emperor wanted to help him out, Li Zhan didn't care so much.

Relying on his lips to scold Zhao Zhilong, if he wants to take revenge, he can only follow the emperor and avenge this revenge first.

If you have revenge, you don't want to take revenge, Li Zhan is a world-famous Donglin sage, and he knows this well!

In fact, even if Li Zhan does not follow the impeachment, Zhu Cihong will find a way to take down Liu Zuochang, the Marquis of Anyuan, and take back the military power of the South Gate.

It's just that in this way, there is no such justification as it is now.

With Wenchen's impeachment, things will be easy to do, Zhu Cihong can get off the donkey down the slope, and after the matter is over, Li Zhan will be promoted again.

Even if something happens, it is Li Zhan's impeachment and fame, and I, Emperor Shaowu, am a stamped Zhu critic, what does it have to do with me?

What is this trick called, this trick is called throwing buns between the two dogs, letting them grab them, and sit on the side to watch the play and eat meat.

"I'm right." After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he looked to the side and said: "Huang Degong, go and take someone to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion and take Liu Zuochang!" ”

Although Jingnan Hou Huang Degong and Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang are both nobles, one is knighted by military merits, and the other is hereditary knighthood, the former looks down on the latter, and the latter does not look down on the former's background, they don't know each other at all, let alone have any friendship, except for obeying orders, there is nothing to say.

Tian Xiong, the general of the Chinese army, won Huang Degong's approval, so he took a group of soldiers of the Qinwang army and went to the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion.

Zhu Cihong doesn't know this Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang, but it is estimated that he also followed Zhao Zhilong to clear the goods in history.

If such a marquis led his troops to resist, it is impossible not to record a separate sum in the history books, most of them are to clear the lord who was named Asihani Hafan, and then assigned to the Qingshui Yamen to retire.

I remember that in Nanjing, eleven out of ten of these nobles who "shared weal and woe with the country" were cleared, and if they killed twenty, they might have killed one by mistake.

Killing this group of people, Zhu Cihong didn't have the slightest pressure, and he wouldn't have any hesitation, if he wasn't afraid of startling the snake, he really wanted to kill this group of people.

Pull some random people from the common people to sit in their places, and they may also be grateful to Dade for fighting to the death for themselves.

Keep them to eat and drink well, and when the Qing army hits Nanjing City, people pat their butts and surrender, what's the use?

It was late at night, and Liu Zuochang, who held the troops of the South Gate, was still working hard.

The red candles in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion were high, the big bed was as warm as a village, and a man and several women exhaled hot air from their mouths at the same time, and they fell down exhausted.

No one would have thought that the emperor, who had been living in seclusion in Jiming Temple, would suddenly run out to patrol the city in the middle of the night.

No one thought that Zhu Cihong came out to kill people this time.

Liu Zuochang fell on the bed, although it was over, but he was not dead, and his hands roamed back and forth on the bodies of the three women.

"It has to be a Jiangnan woman, tender and lubricated!"

The three women all got enough benefits, and naturally they were squirming and refusing, and no one heard the footsteps getting closer and closer.

After a while, the footsteps got closer and closer, and Liu Zuochang sat up all of a sudden, and roared angrily outside the house: "Send someone to see what's going on on the street." ”

"Provoked Benhou's purity, Benhou cut them all!"
