Chapter 176: Nanjing Reaction

It is difficult to say how much land south of the Yellow River will belong to Beijing. But there will be a lot of them.

Many of these places that were cast from Nanjing were uneasy. If He Xi finds a way to appease people's hearts, it will be very troublesome. But when he moved out of the emperor and turned around, the people below were all convinced.

This is of course the legacy left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has been dead for several years, the people of the world still think of Zhu Yuanzhang's goodness. Then there is the fact that the people are accustomed to having an emperor on their heads. is also willing to believe the emperor's golden words. But in fact, the emperor's words are just like that.

But when it is explained to the people below, it is not clear to explain.

It's better to move out of the emperor to reduce communication costs.

-------

Beijing is preparing for its southern tour.

Nanjing was in a state of great panic.

Empress Fu couldn't help crying in the palace, especially knowing that Fu Youde's bones were gone.

And Zhu Yunwen didn't see him at all.

He was like a trapped beast at the moment.

No matter how big a grudge he has with Fu Youde, he knows one thing very well, Fu Youde is Nanjing's military pillar, and now this pillar is broken. The front line completely collapsed, and Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to do at all.

He panicked.

After all, Zhu Yunwen is only about 20 years old, and he will still be a child in the next life.

He emulated Zhu Yuanzhang in many things. In the face of such pressure, it is normal for him to be unable to bear it.

It's just that Queen Fu can cry, but Zhu Yunwen can't cry. He can't even let others see his panic, and in his understanding, once others see his anxiety and timidity, many things are up to him.

But he can't hide from people either.

Because up and down are waiting for them to come up with ideas.

It was easy for Zhu Yunwen to straighten out his mood and come out to see the minister. Seeing Ding Xian, he didn't say a word, and asked directly, "How should the situation be handled like this?"

Ding Xian couldn't speak at all. Faced with the current situation, Ding Xian doesn't know what to do? He felt that maybe something was wrong militarily. But he never imagined that he would collapse to such an extent that he would not have time to do anything. That's it, it's gone.

Fu Youde's defeat was also defeated. What should I do if I die in battle?

Fu Youde's death not only affected the military at the front, but also implicated the politics in the rear. Zhu Yunwen's biggest pillar in military affairs is gone. Although Zhu Yunwen used various means to control the Nanjing Jingying.

But this control is not secure.

Zhu Yunwen could only replace the key official positions with Zhu Yunwen's own people through personnel appointments.

But now is a time when all the founding fathers are still alive. can be compared with the Lu family's rebellion back then, Zhou Bo said that he was the Liu family, and the army defected.

The influence of some of the patriarchs on the army was staggering.

Some personnel appointments may not be effective. Fu Youde was endorsing Zhu Yunwen before, and Zhu Yunwen didn't have to worry about this matter. It's different now.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Yunwen was anxious, tried to control the situation, and said, "Where is Song Guogong? Didn't I send someone to invite it?"

"Your Majesty, Song Guogong is not in the city of Nanjing, I heard from the people in their mansion that Song Guogong was afraid of the heat and went to Longhu Mountain to escape the heat." One of the eunuchs immediately said.

"It's a good summer escape from Dragon Tiger Mountain." Zhu Yunwen sneered, "Why didn't he go to the west to escape the heat."

How could Zhu Yunwen not know that Feng Sheng was not like participating in this matter. Anyway, he is neutral, no matter who is the emperor, it is impossible to do anything to him? Before Fu Youde played, Feng Sheng had already felt even more bad.

That's why I went out early.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen went to Longhu Mountain and couldn't find Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng's connections and relationships, isn't it very simple to go out and hide for a few months?

After a few months and a half, the dust has settled, and it is not too late to return to Nanjing, not to mention, Feng Sheng is old, and he himself has two

Daughter, no son, and no daughter by his side. There is no need to worry about any relatives in Nanjing being implicated. Although there are some relatives, Feng Sheng doesn't think that Zhu Yunwen will not taste it to this point.

"Your Majesty, please Yangzhou generals." Qi De said: "Now the matter is urgent, Guanzhong, Shanxi, and Henan have been defeated several times, and the north is no longer owned by us. The latest information, Beima, has crossed the Huai River and penetrated deep into Fengyang. And there are not many troops left in the north. What we can do now is to cross the river and fortify Yangzhou, and beware of the northern army crossing the river."

Ding Xian said, "What about the sailors at the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

Ding Xian's feeling of powerlessness lies in this, there are enemy soldiers and horses in several directions, I didn't think it before, but now the Yangtze River is about to be a battlefield. The sailor who was originally haunted in the open sea suddenly became a killer feature.

It has become a stinger in the heart of Nanjing.

"Your Majesty, it's a problem to do what to do now, but it's always not good to do it. Now there is an emptiness between Jianghuai, and the minister has investigated. Huai'an, Yangzhou and other places, but one or two thousand defenders. If there is no additional soldier and horse. Once the North Malaysia peeks into the river, the situation will be irreparable."

"With Yangzhou in hand, at least we can keep the army still have a foothold on the north bank of the Yangtze River, so that the thieves can stop north of the Yangtze River."

Zid exclaimed.

The truth of guarding the river and guarding Huai first, Qi De will not understand.

As a line of defense between the Yangtze River and the Huai River, there are many tributaries of the Yangtze River in the north, so the northern regime can build ships in these tributaries and go straight to the Yangtze River, so as to compete for the Yangtze River. At that time, the Yangtze River, as a natural insurance, has become a common possession of both parties.

The Huai River is different.

In ancient times, the Jianghuai River was not connected, but even if it is connected today, it is only a few waterways, which are easy to block.

Just keep these waterways. It would be impossible for the enemy to enter the Yangtze River, not to mention that the Huai River water battle was inherently insurmountable for the northerners. And even if the Huai River is crossed in the north, there is still the Yangtze River.

Moreover, the Yangtze River, as a transportation artery, can also be used as an important channel for logistics.

It is to guard the river and guard the Huai first.

If he could, Qi De also wanted to guard the Huai River. But this is no longer possible.

The reason is simple, there are not enough troops.

Now Nanjing still has a garrison in Shandong. But the Battle of Shandong has already begun.

It's hard to keep these people alive. And between Jianghuai, there are no extra people at all. As long as Beijing maintains military discipline, it will hardly encounter any reproach. You can go all the way south.

Time is running out for Nanjing.

Nanjing's only mobile force is the Nanjing Jingying.

This force cannot be used easily, and even if it is used, it is impossible to leave Nanjing too far. It's too far after all. Don't say it, Zhu Yunwen is not at ease, Qi De is not at ease, how many people in Nanjing City are of the same heart and mind as the Nanjing Imperial Court, it is still a difficult thing to say.

Especially at this time, the dark tide is turbulent, and almost all of them are already on the bright side.

The army could not go too far from Nanjing.

Qi De's idea was to draw a part of the Nanjing camp and gather people from Jiangbei to organize a defense line. Resist the southward movement of the Northern Army.

As for success or failure, Zide is not too easy to say.

But anyway, it's always going to be done.

It's better to do it than not to do it well. If you don't do it, you'll have nothing.

Ding Xian said, "Your Majesty, there may be other ways."

Zhu Yunwen said, "Other ways, what way?"

Ding Xian said that he was a little hesitant about this suggestion, but he still said it. "Let's talk to Beijing," he said.

He can't say it explicitly, so he can only hint at it.

This is also a big risk he has taken, with Ding Xian's character, how can he not know that Zhu Yunwen actually doesn't like to listen to this. But he still dared to say it, because today's Zhu Yunwen is no longer the original Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen's power has been shaken.

Ding Xian's fear of Zhu Yunwen is also much less.

In addition, Ding Xian also felt that Zhu Yunwen had no other reason to go today.

Now begging Beijing for mercy and making some compromises, or simply surrendering, is the only way out.

Of course, it is not necessary to surrender, but there are other things that can be discussed. After all, is everything negotiable?

This matter may not be beneficial to Zhu Yunwen. But it is absolutely beneficial for Ding Xian. Of course, Ding Xian also knew that Zhu Yunwen would not agree, but he still couldn't help but want to talk about it and blow a wind, because he knew that this matter was not only for him to think about.
